"The four of you are the pillars of the Celestial Star Empire, and they are also the people I trust the most, let's talk about it, this Liangzhou is recovered, what should Liangzhou do? Guiyi Army, what to do? Zhao Wutang, what should I do? Ling Tianmu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, and asked two questions in a row, straight to the point, and said the biggest doubt in their hearts at the moment.

"Your Majesty, the recovery of Liangzhou is naturally a great joy to be happy about, and the empire should announce it to the people as soon as possible to boost the morale of our army and people." Taiwei Yan Qin replied, "Secondly, send officials and troops to take over Liangzhou, as for General Zhao and the generals of the Guiyi Army, they should be recalled to Chengdu and rewarded for their hard work in recovering Liangzhou." ”

Yan Qin's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to seize the fruits of victory of Zhao Wutang and others, trick them into returning to Chengdu, and nominally reward them, but in fact put them under house arrest in disguise.

"Captain, you're taking all of us for fools!" Ling Luotian began to refute in the court: "The words are good, go back to Chengdu to reward them, don't you just want to trick General Zhao and them back to Chengdu and put them under house arrest!" What kind of bad idea is this, do you want to make your father suffer the shame of the world? ”

"What the prince said is right, Yan Qin, what kind of bad idea did you have." Ling Tianmu was angry and threw a roll of bamboo slips on the table to Yan Qin's body, "If you want to put him under house arrest, you can do it as early as when you were in Beiping, why wait until now." You haven't woken up yet, do you want to go home and sleep and come back? ”

"Foolish! Confused! Seeing that Ling Tianmu was angry, Yan Qin was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground. He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhao Wutang, but he forgot that although the emperor had also contributed to Zhao Wutang's move to Liangzhou, he was more passive, if it wasn't for the person sitting on the ground who mentioned it first, who would have thought of killing Zhao Wutang with Xianbei Hu's knife! Now that he made such a suggestion, he was obviously slapping the emperor in the face, so it was strange that he was not angry!

However, this Ling Luo Tianzhen is really hateful, and he will oppose him when he has the opportunity. If it weren't for him, the emperor wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

As soon as Yan Qin's words for mercy fell, Bai Hua immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, what the Taiwei said is indeed too ridiculous. As soon as the 'order to kill Hu' came out, the hearts of the people turned to nothing. If the empire acted in this way, it would inevitably be opposed by the people of Liangzhou. When the time comes, what should I do if Liangzhou, which was finally recovered, is in chaos again.

Your Majesty should spread this great news to the entire Yizhou as soon as possible, which will definitely boost the morale of the military and the people of the entire Yizhou. ”

"And then!" Bai Hua's words made Ling Tianmu interested.

"Prepare the army and the officials who govern Liangzhou, prepare all kinds of urgently needed baggage, and wait for Zhao Wutang's messenger to come. If the messenger does not come, our army will go directly to Liangzhou; If the messenger who reported the victory came, then after understanding the specific course of the battle in Liangzhou, the army and the messenger would sail to Liangzhou together. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ling Tianmu couldn't understand why Bai Hua had these two different plans.

Although Wutang has been fighting for the country all his life, and even recovered Liangzhou. However, because of the previous things, maybe he will have a disobedient heart, and it is not necessary to say that he wants to separate Liangzhou and stand on his own. Therefore, to see if he is still loyal to the Empire, it depends on whether he sends a messenger to report the victory to the Empire!

If there is no messenger to come, our army can enter Liangzhou with those burdens and in the open. Liangzhou has just experienced a war, and there must be a shortage of materials, so our army can rely on those burdens to buy the hearts of those righteous soldiers. This rebel army was spontaneously organized by the people, and the people, as long as they were kind to them, they would remember their kindness. As long as our army does not commit any crimes in the autumn after entering Liangzhou, and loves them well, the people will be grateful to Wang Shi. In this way, our army can quickly stabilize Liangzhou, capture Zhao Wutang, and bring Liangzhou back under our empire.

If a messenger comes, it means that Wutang is still loyal to the empire and to His Majesty. Then after we understand the specific situation of Liangzhou, after answering our doubts, we will let the messenger take the army and the baggage to Liangzhou together. Of course, there is also the reward for Wutang and the praise for the Guiyi army under his command. After the reward, His Majesty can order Zhao Wutang to be stationed in Liangzhou to prepare for the capture of Yongzhou. As long as Yongzhou is won, Chengdu will be at ease! ”

Bai Hua's meaning Ling Tianmu understood, this was to tell the world that he had secretly sent Zhao Wutang to Liangzhou, or the credit would be attributed to him. In the current situation, it is they who are in a good position, and they do not need to hide it anymore.

Ling Tianmu laughed out loud: "The Prime Minister's words are deeply meaningful, and they really deserve to be my brains!" But what are the doubts you are talking about? ”

"Why was the 'Hu Kill Order' issued by Mo Feng? Why did they establish themselves as the Qin army? ”

"This, didn't Wuye say it in the letter, the 'Kill Hu Order' was issued by Mo Feng, it should be to hide their identity." If the order to kill Hu was issued by Wutang, Xianbei Hu and the orcs would definitely know Wutang's identity, and then they would know that he was sent by His Majesty. As for Mo Feng, although we all know who he is, Xianbei Hu and the orcs don't, so it will be beneficial for them to hide their identities.

As for self-establishment as the Qin army, one is to conceal his identity, but to strengthen his momentum. After all, the two states of Yongliang were split from Qinzhou back then, and this Great Qin Righteous Army does not mean that this righteous army not only wants to take Liangzhou, but also captures Yongzhou. This makes people listen to the words mentioned, Xianbei listens to it, and he can't tremble! ”

Bai Hua smiled: "Your Majesty, this is all speculation, and it can't be true." If you want to know the answers to these questions, you can only have a messenger who can report success. ”

"Okay, then let's hurry up and prepare the officials and army to go to Liangzhou!"

"Wait!" Luo Qi, who was lying on the ground early, stood up, and at this time he also needed to pretend, "Your Majesty, do you just let Zhao Wutang and the Guiyi Army go!" ”

"Doctor Yushi, I can hear what the prime minister meant, haven't you heard it yet!" Yan Qin, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at Luo Qi and sneered, "The prime minister means that he wants to render the matter of recovering Liangzhou as the credit of His Majesty, and Zhao Wutang was secretly sent by His Majesty to recover Yongliang Prefecture." Now, Liangzhou has been recovered, thanks to His Majesty's wisdom and skill. Perhaps, in the near future, this Yongzhou will also be recovered by our Heavenly Star Empire under the command of His Majesty's wise and martial arts. ”

"Captain, please get up!" Ling Tianmu smiled and immediately asked Yan Qin to stand up, "Luo Qi, in terms of brains, you are still inferior to Bai Hua and Yan Qin!" Your personal enmity, have you also put it aside for the time being! ”

"No!" Rocky sighed helplessly. Bai Hua's meaning, he didn't understand, but this pretense was what he had to do now, "Your Majesty, the minister understands." Your Majesty wants to tell the world clearly that Your Majesty has not lost confidence in the current situation, and is still doing its best to regain the lost territory and expel the Xianbei Hu and the orcs.

However, the minister also said that the officials and leading generals sent to Liangzhou must think carefully, if Zhao Wutang does not send envoys back, then they will shoulder the heavy responsibility of stabilizing Liangzhou and arresting Zhao Wutang; If Zhao Wutang sends a messenger back, they will not only keep a firm eye on Zhao Wutang, but also let Zhao Wutang willingly follow our pace. ”

Ling Tianmu nodded: "Yes, this is indeed an important matter!" What are the right people for you? ”

"Father, son, recommended ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends ......"

Several people discussed until dawn, and then a preliminary list was decided. With the sound of the golden drum of the previous dynasty, Ling Tianmu took a few people to the court.
