Chapter 259: The Dispute in Front of the Palace (Part II)

Cui Yu continued:

"Besides, after Hou Shigui went south, he didn't ask him to do anything worthy of merit.

But colleagues, tell me, what kind of personnel has this Hou Shigui done?

The first stop in the south, Jinzhong County, encountered a strange thing that had not been seen in a century, and the officials of a county were burned alive by an accidental fire!

After crossing He'an, there were hundreds of water bandits fighting with the official army.

You must know that after the last wave of water bandits in Xiaoping was wiped out by the Yuwen family ten years ago, there have never been water bandits in Xiaoping in the past ten years!

Finally, let's talk about Qinggang, he found out the truth about the defeat of the Southern Expeditionary Army in Qinggang, but what about the consequences of his perverse behavior?

Yuwenjia and the Southern Expeditionary Army both rebelled, and the flames broke out, and he couldn't hold Qinggang with a mere 2,000 defenders.

At that time, once Qinggang is lost, the entire Xiaoping will also be completely erosive!

Xiaoping is the hinterland of my Great Chu Dynasty, the important place of transshipment and transportation, if something happens, the winter clothes of the northern army, the grain and grass of the southern army, and the goods coming and going will all be affected!

Li Shangshu, I only want to ask you, where did he get his Hou Shigui's merit? Why?! ”

Cui Yu said loudly, and the ministers in the palace, except for the people from the household department and Hou Shigui's old father Hou Puru, all nodded in agreement.

Hou Puru's face was so bitter, he wanted to say something for his son.

Anyway, Changping is also impartial, and there is no merit and hard work.

But he, the doctor of Shangshu Province, is too idle to be idle.

He even suspected that when he returned to his hometown, the dynasty would cancel the position of Shangshu Provincial Doctor.

Because he's been in this position for more than ten years, he doesn't even know what he's going to do?

It's just that every time something important happens, just stand by and listen.

The only time it was useful was when Hu'er buckled the edges, and His Majesty would occasionally ask for his opinion because he was from Xiling.

And the opinions you give are often the main battle.

In addition, in the past ten years, except for collecting intelligence for Chen Wangfu, he has not done anything meaningful.

And Changping, who has only been in Beijing for a year, has done so many earth-shattering things.

If he is replaced by another father, he may scold this son who will only cause trouble to death or even cut off his involvement.

But Hou Puru is a little proud in his heart, this son, with the demeanor of my youth, is worthy of being my son.

I only hope that you will not embark on the path of becoming a father in the future.

When Hou Puru blamed himself for his uselessness here, all the ministers in the palace begged His Majesty again:

"Please behead Hou Shigui to pacify/chaos!"

Hou Shigui was far away in Xiaoping, and he was also surrounded by rebel regiments, so they naturally couldn't expect His Majesty to send someone over to behead him.

What they want Your Majesty to do is nothing more than to declare that Hou Shigui is a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished.

In this way, it can also stabilize the rebellious Yuwen family and the Southern Expeditionary Army for a while.

Gain time for the dynasty to mobilize a large army to settle accounts after the autumn.

These people have already fallen out with the Yuwen family, and naturally they will not help the Yuwen family speak, so this request is also for the good of the country.

It's just that they just thought that in addition to Hou Shigui, how could they miss such a good opportunity?

Yang He also knew that this was the best and most secure plan for the chaos at the moment, temporarily stabilizing the chaotic army, not letting them affect the Xiaoping waterway transportation, and then slowly mobilizing a large army to wipe out one of them.

But he is still a little reluctant in his heart, that Xiling erector is a cash cow!

In the future, everything I want to do will require a lot of money, if I don't have that shaft......

As soon as he remembered the scene where the household official asked him for money with a long mouth, Yang He felt a headache, so he said:

"Zhu Aiqing's concerns, I think so, but ......"

As soon as Yang He said this, the ministers knew that Yang He was still unwilling to give an order to cut off Hou Shigui's back road.

At the same time, while feeling a pity in their hearts, all the ministers could only hope that Hou Shigui would have some backbone and not escape back to Beijing by boat.

"However, I thought that under the power of the brilliant sky, the thief army would not last long.

It is not easy for Hou Aiqing to clear Hong Kong for my dead hand, how can I chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers again?

Besides, Hou Aiqing dragged the thief army in Qinggang, and then transferred the forbidden army in Beijing to quickly intercept it, so it was impossible to eliminate the thief army outside the Qinggang Mansion. ”

As soon as Yang He's voice fell, someone cried out like his dead father:

"Your Majesty! Never! Taizu has a system, and the forbidden army is drawn from the border army, and it is dedicated to guarding the affairs of the Son of Heaven.

Where is the Son of Heaven, where is the forbidden army, it must not be easily mobilized! ”

Is this called easy transfer?

The thieves are all in Hyopyeong, next to Gyeonggi, and there is a rebellion!

Yang He was so angry that he couldn't speak, but His Royal Highness's ministers still came out one by one, saying that this was the iron system of the ancestors and the safety of the world.

Yang He also saw that in the matter of mobilizing the forbidden army, these people would never give in to half a point.

He also knows the inside story, although the major families are in the same breath, they will hug each other in times of crisis, but they are also on guard against each other.

I'm afraid that a family will be big for a while, and I have an idea that I shouldn't want to sit on this dragon chair.

And the most critical force to balance these families is the Chujing Forbidden Army, which is firmly in their hands.

Although these forbidden troops also have children of the family as generals, with Yang He's heart, how can he hand over the forbidden army to the family?

As early as I don't know how many years ago, he had already arranged everything, and if something really happened, those forbidden army generals would not be able to command a forbidden army.

The doorways of this are also known to the major families, so as long as there is a forbidden army, their hearts are also stable, and they will not be afraid that someone will want to do that great rebellious thing.

But if the forbidden army is not there...... Several ministers looked at each other, and their eyes showed defensiveness and suspicion.

"How long will it take to transfer troops from the border army or recruit new troops?"

Yang He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and if he couldn't mobilize the forbidden army, he would use the border army or the newly recruited army.

The ministers and workers discussed in the palace for a while, and after deciding on the transfer of troops from the border army, the early dynasty was disbanded in a heavy atmosphere.

"Su Xiang."

Hearing someone call him, Su An stopped and looked back, and when he saw that it was Cui Yu, he smiled and said:

"Cui Shangshu."

Cui Yu ran to Su An's side and said with a gloomy face:

"This time, we can't cut off the back road of the Xiling barbarian, it's a pity, Su Xiangke still has a good plan?"

Su An shook his head:

"There is no need for a good strategy, the forbidden army will not come out, and the mobilization of the border army will not be able to reach Xiaoping until January.

Then Hou Shigui with 2,000 garrisons, can he guard Xiaoping for a month? ”

"Yes...... But what if the barbarian was so timid and afraid that he abandoned the city and fled from the river? ”

Su An smiled lightly:

"Inform the Yuwen family over there and ask them to set up an ambush on the river, Hou Shigui is already dead, don't worry, and then our focus should be shifted to Li Yuan, the head of the household department."

Just after Su An confidently said such a sentence, on the stairs outside the main hall, a panting herald was running towards the stairs while shouting:

"Great victory!! Clearing the port is a great victory!! ”
