Hearing that Dai Quan was going to summon him, Sun Shaozong's heart suddenly became worried.

It won't be Prince Yizhong's business, what else is there to do, you need to send yourself to deal with the aftermath, right?

Although Sun Shaozong was still thinking about exploring the secret behind Prince Yizhong's death, he had no intention of directly getting involved in it.

However, the boss had an order, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only be careful and think of countermeasures, and followed the little eunuch step by step to the doorway on the right.

Inside, seeing Dai Quan leading two little eunuchs, standing in the deepest place in the middle, Sun Shaozong hurried a few steps, and was about to come forward to salute, but suddenly found that the atmosphere was a little inexplicably weird.

The first thing that makes people feel weird is Dai Quan's state at this time.

I saw that he took off the three-mountain hat on his head, revealing a gray head, hunched back, towards his hands, his eyes were cloudy, and his demeanor was lazy and gloomy.

As the head of the eunuchs, he has always been known for his majesty, but in terms of the momentum of reprimanding Fang Xuan, even Shangshu and the general are slightly inferior.

Today, for the first time, this tiredness is revealed, as if something supporting the backbone has been pulled away by someone.

What's even more weird is that in the face of Dai Quan's state, the two little eunuchs next to him neither shy away nor speak to be relieved, but stared at Dai Quan with a pair of eyes, stunned.

At first, Sun Shaozong thought that one of these two people was 'made' and the other was 'dead', but after a closer look, he found that this did not seem to be the case.

The two of them were a little apprehensive and panicked in their expressions, obviously knowing that in such a situation, they were still staring at Dai Quan intently, which was like a mouse playing with a cat.

But they still can't take their eyes off it, as if they ...... It is acting according to someone's assignment.

Thinking about it like this, Sun Shaozong's heart couldn't help but become more and more shocked, in the entire palace, I am afraid that Emperor Guangde is the only one who dares to blatantly send people to monitor Dai Quan!

Could it be that the death of Prince Yizhong yesterday was even implicated in Dai Quan's head?

But it shouldn't be!

Dai Quan is an old man who has been with Emperor Guangde for decades, and he is the only one in the palace in terms of kinship, and since he took charge of the Beizhen Fusi, the secrets of his participation are even more innumerable.

After experiencing all this right and wrong, what else could make him fall to the point of being closely monitored overnight?

His heart turned back and forth, but Sun Shaozong's movements were only a little bit, and then he bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, Sun Shaozong, I have seen the commander!" ”

It took more than ten seconds before I heard Dai Quan reply faintly: "Let's go, follow me to the Qianqing Palace to see the driver." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the three-mountain hat with gold silk from the desk next to him, and put it back on his head carefully.

When the red velvet rope around his neck was tied, his waist was also straightened up again, and his official steps with his legs shaking without shaking seemed to have regained a bit of his former majesty.

But Sun Shaozong followed behind, but he always felt that Dai Quan's back was rendered by this late autumn.

But for now, he can't think much about it.

Since it was personally summoned by Emperor Guangde, it must be necessary to dispose of the hand tail, which will be much more troublesome than previously thought!

And now it seems that even Dai Quan has been planted, how dare he go to this muddy water without knowing the depths?

But if the emperor really laid out the dirty work himself, who would have a way to refuse?

"You're waiting outside."

was figuring out what errand he would be doing today, when he suddenly heard Dai Quan's command in front of him, Sun Shaozong realized that he had unknowingly arrived outside the door of the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing that Dai Quan had gone in to pay tribute, he hurriedly restrained his mind, tidied up his appearance, and prepared to meet the emperor's summons.

After a while, I heard a subdued voice coming from inside: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Sun Shaozong will meet you in the middle of Xuanshun Tianfu." ”

Sun Shaozong hurriedly bowed forward, crossed the threshold more than half a foot high, and turned over and knelt down to Kouzun Long live, while peeking at the situation in the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, at this time, in addition to Emperor Guangde and Dai Quan, there were five Zhu Zi important ministers in the imperial study.

The top one is not someone else, it is the one who has been imprisoned, which caused his son's head to be dyed green, and the cabinet assistant He Tiren.

The two who accompany the last seat are Zhao Hong, the secretary of the household department, and Lu Yanbin, the secretary of the military department.

The other two couldn't see their faces clearly for a while due to the angle, but according to the location, there is no doubt that they should be cabinet scholars.

In this way, except for the first assistant who is recuperating from illness, and Xu Furen, who has submitted his resignation but has not completely completed the procedure, the three university scholars have already arrived.

plus the two officials of the household department and the military department......

The apprehension in Sun Shaozong's heart was immediately dissipated.

Because no matter how you look at this lineup, it doesn't look like it's going to talk about the secrets of the palace.

However, from the fact that the Hubu Shangshu and the Military Department Shangshu attended together, but the other four did not participate in it, it can be inferred that the content to be discussed at this meeting was inseparable from the Wuxi barbarian rebellion.

If you think about it carefully, convening a military meeting at this time is really a good way to calm people's hearts - at least it can show that the emperor Zhizhu is in his hands, and he does not care too much about the 'national funeral' treatment of Prince Zhong.

Of course, in this way, I am afraid that we must negotiate a result today, otherwise there will be such a big battle during the national funeral, and in the end there will not even be a sound, wouldn't it make the ministers outside suspicious out of thin air?

Sure enough.

After the ceremony was completed, he listened to Emperor Guangde's instructions: "Sun Zhizhong, you will repeat the words you made that day in Jingren Palace to all your lords. ”

Sun Shaozong hurriedly responded, and then prepared to use a small number of elites to choose the weak tribes in the Wuxi barbarians as a breakthrough point to launch an asymmetrical raid operation, and then provoke the internal strife of the Wuxi barbarians.

This was originally an idea that was crammed and thought up randomly, but after thinking about it these days, it is naturally much better than the original version.

And after he said the opposite, the five important ministers in the imperial study gave four reactions.

Zhao Hongxi, the head of the household, nodded his head.

Lu Yanbin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was busy talking about 'absurdity' and 'I don't know what to say'.

The two bachelors who finally showed their faces were looking at their noses and noses, and they seemed to know it well, but they didn't seem to understand it at all.

As for the second assistant He Ge Lao, when he saw his head a little at first, he seemed to agree with his words, but after finishing speaking, he was still there and lowered his head from time to time.

This old man......

Isn't it dozing?

"Your Majesty."

Sun Shaozong was still trying to figure out whether He Ge Lao was dreaming or waking up, and Lu Yanbin, the secretary of the military department, decisively came out and said: "There are no less than 30,000 adult Ding Zhuang of the Wuxi barbarians, and the former broke through the prefecture and county and slaughtered the imperial court officials, and now the morale is strong, and he will inevitably guard against the retaliation of the officials and troops." ”

"At this time, how can you hope for the courage of hundreds of people?"

"If there is a discord in the matter, the thieves are holding the power of two victories, but the officials and the army are declining again and exhausted, I am afraid that Huguang and all provinces will be eroded because of this!"

As he spoke, he bowed down and hugged his fists again: "Just a yellow mouth, where do you know that the soldiers are in danger?" I also ask Your Majesty not to listen to his empty words, which will cause damage to the military affairs. ”

"Haha!"

Before Emperor Guangde could speak, Zhao Hong, the head of the household department, had already sneered twice, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and said disdainfully: "Since Lord Sun took charge of the Jingshi public security and criminal name, countless large and small cases have been solved, and he is known for his shrewdness and courage, but how can he become a brave man in your mouth?" ”

As he spoke, he also came out to salute Emperor Guangde and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Sun's strategy of begging thieves is not completely unreasonable, so you might as well give it a try......"

"Ridiculous!"

Lu Wenbin also shook his sleeves and almost slapped Zhao Hong in the face: "Those who live in the deep mountains and Daze, not to mention the number of people, are also known for their martial arts and bravery-and the officers and soldiers come from afar, and the time, place and people are not advantageous, how can they be sure of winning the battle?" ”

"This is not ......"

"Still."

Zhao Hong was about to ridicule him, but Lu Wenbin hurriedly said: "If your old Zhao Ken guarantees him with his net worth, this official will have nothing to say." ”

Zhao Hong was speechless, although he tended to support Sun Shaozong, he still didn't have much confidence in such things as one enemy against one hundred.

If Lu Wenbin dies down at this time, it can be regarded as a victorious return.

But in the past two years, the Ministry of War has been arguing with the Ministry of Households many times because of the matter of food and salary, and Lu Wenbin has been repeatedly angered by Zhao Hong, and it is not easy to gain the upper hand in the professional field at this time, so will he withdraw the army?

couldn't help but sneer again: "It's just plain, now it's a military matter, but Lord Zhao is still only concerned with calculating small profits, it seems that it is really a family history." ”

Zhao Hong can be a scholar in the household department, and the background of the merchant is not unhelpful, but he hates others to talk about this 'end of the four people' the most.

Therefore, the neck was thickened at the moment, and the red-headed face refuted: "Fly-headed small profit? What you said is light, at present, the six countries in southern Xinjiang are unstable, and 80,000 troops are out of Zhenyun and Guangzhou; In the north, the Heishui Sect was in turmoil, and the imperial court had to increase 50,000 troops to Liaoxi; and the prince Teng, in order to suppress the bandits, carried out a sea ban in the southeast, and detained tea and silk, which reduced the imperial court's income by two and a half. ”

"This pile is one by one, which one doesn't need food?!"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's benevolence and frugality, and often subsidizing the government with internal funds, and the whole of my household department has worked hard to open up sources and reduce expenditure, which can barely maintain the situation."

"It's good now, you Lu Wenbin have a big mouth, what kind of dignified soldiers are you going to raise! I still have to go to the barren mountains and Dazeli to chase down those mountain barbarians! ”

"Let me ask you, where will the food be raised if the rebellion cannot be quelled quickly?! And how can the ordnance be replenished?! ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost wanted to smear the spittle on Lu Wenbin's face.

Lu Wenbin took half a step back in disgust, but he refused to fall behind at all, and sneered: "Food and salary are the business of your household department, and our military department is only responsible for fighting." ”

"You ......"

"That's it!"

Zhao Hong was still waiting to chase after him and continue to output with his face, but Emperor Guangde finally couldn't help but scold: "You two are also second-class masters, how can you be so out of shape in front of the younger generations?" ”

Since the emperor opened his mouth, the two could only confess in unison, and each returned to his original position, looking at the air for an eye.

Emperor Guangde's gaze fell on He Tiren, who was the head of his mouth, and he didn't care that he was dozing off like a chicken pecking rice, and directly named: "Old He Ge, what do you think?" ”

He Ge Lao was excited, first he let out a blank 'ah' twice, and then saw that everyone was looking at him, so he asked slowly: "The old man's ears have been a little disobedient recently, dare to ask Lord Lu, you are the one who said that you want to be a dignified soldier, right?" ”

"Exactly."

After getting Lu Wenbin's affirmative answer, he slowly turned his attention to Zhao Hong: "Lord Zhao, you mean that the imperial court is now in a difficult financial situation, and it can't afford the army to enter the mountains to suppress bandits, right?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhao Hong also hurriedly responded.

He Ge Lao nodded, looked at Sun Shaozong again, and asked with a grin: "As for Lord Xiaosun, the loyal and brave who puts life and death aside and wants to share worries for the country, the old man should have heard it right." ”

This time, without waiting for Sun Shaozong to answer, Emperor Guangde was a little impatient at first, and scolded half-truthfully: "What kind of live treasure are you old man?" I'm going to ask you which one I agree with! ”

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that the elder He Ge bowed down, he said lightly: "In the opinion of the ministers, what the three adults said makes sense, and the ministers all agree with it." ”

As he spoke, he twisted his fingers again, and calculated 1510: "This dignified soldier must be prosperous......

"Elder Ge! This bread is ......"

When Zhao Hong heard this, he couldn't help but refute, but he listened to He Ge's old words: "But there is no need to go to so many people, let Master Sun choose three or five hundred elite ...... first."

"Elder Ge! I'm afraid it's ......"

This time it was Lu Wenbin's turn to change color, but he heard He Ge Lao say again: "Then serve as the vanguard of the army, just say that you want to explore the nearby terrain so as to open the way for the 100,000 army behind." ”

"If Lord Xiaosun does not disgrace his mission and has really made a miraculous achievement, he naturally does not need to work the imperial army anymore."

"Even if there is disharmony, with the wisdom and courage of Lord Xiaosun, plus the fact that all his subordinates are elite, it must be a barbarian who kills several times the number of people, it is still not a problem."

"At that time, if we find a way to transfer the army, not only will we not weaken the momentum, but it will make the thieves misjudge the strength of the official army - I can't say that the army will fall before it arrives."

Speaking of this, he arched his hand to Sun Shaozong again, and said: "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that I will be wronged by Lord Sun, not only can I not bring the king's order flag to control the place, but I can't say that I have to lower the official rank and serve as an ordinary five-grade thousand households." ”

Otherwise, ginger is still old and spicy.

In a few words, He Tiren solved the crux of the problem.

The reason why Lu Wenbin strongly opposed it was mainly because he was worried that once the soldiers and horses of the imperial court surveyed the chaos were lost again, it would completely shake the morale of the people in Huguang, and then make the Wuxi barbarians take the opportunity to become bigger.

But if the soldiers and horses of the court to quell the chaos are changed to the outposts of the army, the form will be very different.

Even if Sun Shaozong was really defeated and died, in Huguang's view, it was just the loss of an unknown young general and hundreds of stragglers, which was not worth mentioning at all compared to the tens of thousands of troops behind.

What's more, with Sun Shaozong's martial arts and bravery, plus his subordinates are all selected elites, even if the plan fails, it should not be a problem to kill 2,000 enemies and lose 500 themselves.

In this way, instead of hitting morale, it will make the officials and people of Huguang more confident in the follow-up army.

Maybe because of this, the Wuxi barbarians will misjudge the strength of the official army.

At that time, whether it is really sending a large army to conquest, or waiting for an opportunity to send people to recruit and divide them, it will only add help and will not do any harm.

The only one who will be damaged by this plan is probably Sun Shaozong - others who go out of Beijing are all promoted to one level, which is good, and Baba has been demoted by one level.

As for the inability to control the place or something, there are advantages and disadvantages for Sun Shaozong - at least he doesn't have to share the responsibility of defending the land.

But no matter how he suffers, how can he retreat half a step at this time?

immediately turned over and knelt down, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Pavilion Elder!" The minister is sparse, and the truth of '*******, *******' is still understood! Don't say that it is a five-grade thousand households, that is, the seventh-grade and eight-grade military positions, and the ministers are also happy to go to it! ”

"Good!"

Emperor Guangde immediately took the case and praised it: "A good '*******, *******', just this sentence, Aiqing is enough to leave a name in history!" ”

Belch~

It seems that I accidentally did a back-to-back copy.
