The ministers retreated one after another, and the middle attendants also led the attendants who were waiting in the hall to close the door of the main hall and retreated.

"Look at them, look at them, this group of ministers who are in the position of a vegetarian eater, they can't come up with ideas, they are fighting for power and profit, and arranging for their cronies to do it......" Ling Tianmu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was trembling with the anger of the ministers, and the crown on his head also swayed with his body.

The crown prince and several civil and military generals who were left by Ling Tianmu below looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't say a word. Now that the emperor is angry, they can't say anything, and they can't say that these ministers can have today, which is not what you are used to!

Ling Tianmu was talking to himself for a while, and finally calmed down, and said to Bai Wuye: "Prime Minister, it seems that you know something, could it be that Wei Kai also wrote to you!"

Bai Hua smiled bitterly, the emperor is angry yet, and he wants to spread the fire on himself!

"Back to Your Majesty, the general did not write a letter to his ministers. The minister just saw that Your Majesty When you saw the second good news of the general, his face changed inadvertently, and the minister sensed that something was wrong.

The minister boldly guessed that the only thing that could make the general send a special letter and make His Majesty shocked was only the prison army Wu Cheng! ”

"You guessed it right!" Ling Tianmu said as he walked down and gave the piece of paper to Bai Hua, "Take a look!" Can this be called good news, this is clearly a good news! Wu Cheng, a bastard, has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures, and he really failed to live up to my expectations of him. ”

Bai Hua glanced at it and shook his head helplessly, alas, this person is really ......

"I asked him to be the supervisor of the army, in order to supervise the army and give advice to Wei Kai, not to let him do such despicable things. It's good that he relied on himself to be a prison army, and he was tyrannical and reckless in the army, and he also asked Wei Kai to let the Guiyi army go to death. If it weren't for the courage and good fighting of the Guiyi Army, I am afraid that the Guiyi Army would have ceased to exist a long time ago. Even so, the Guiyi Army was also greatly damaged.

As a minister of my hidden mansion, he didn't think about worrying about me, but still did such things, which simply disgraced my face. Why didn't he learn from Rocky, who was also my old minister, why was the gap so big.

And Wei Kai, why are you so stupid, I and you have written to warn him, why is he still not alert at all! Let Wu Cheng act recklessly in the army, and he will not stop it. ”

Hearing Ling Tianmu complaining over there, Doctor Luo Qi didn't care. Hearing Rocky praise himself, he didn't have much reaction, but Shi Shiran saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Ling Tianmu nodded, and then said, "Prime Minister, let's show everyone this report!" Just the two of us singing duets here, they probably don't know what to hear! ”

"No!" As he spoke, he reported the page to the crown prince Ling Luotian.

Ling Luotian glanced at it and was speechless in surprise: "This ...... This...... This is no different from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! ”

"If it doesn't come to this, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, with Wu Cheng's courage, he can't do this kind of thing. At most, it's just trying to figure out what you want and pretend to be smart! Bai Hua touched his beard and said "fair words".

"Alright, show them Rocky!" Listening to Bai Hua's salty words, Ling Tianmu had nothing to say, so he had to stagger the topic to save his face.

Rocky and the other four took the report in Ling Luotian's hand and watched it together. Luo Qi and Tai Lieutenant Yan Qin were fine, but the hussar general Li Shu and the chariot general Lin Hua's faces instantly darkened, and their hands were clenched into fists, as if they were about to kill at any time.

Rocky also understood why the emperor wanted to compare him with Wu Cheng just now, compared to himself, this guy is really a waste. It is no wonder that the prince just said that he had betrayed the country by collaborating with the enemy, and this kind of behavior is indeed no different from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

"I've seen it all, let's talk about it! What to do about it! ”

"Your Majesty, there's nothing to say, it's okay if this kind of person is cut directly." Hussar General Li Shu said angrily.

"No!" Bai Hua stood up, "This matter needs to be handled carefully and carefully, and it should not be made public." The general should also understand this, so until now, only a few of his personal guards and a few generals of the Guiyi Army have known about this matter. ”

"Humph! Prime Minister, this Wu Cheng is your person, you naturally protect him so much and speak for him. Taiwei Yan Qin said.

Without waiting for Bai Hua to fight back, Ling Tianmu refuted Yan Qin: "Taiwei is serious!" At this time, it has little to do with the prime minister, and if you want it, it's just a sin of lax discipline. The main fault of this is Wu Cheng's own problem. ”

"No!" Ling Tianmu interceded for Bai Hua, and Yan Qin couldn't say anything more, lest he talk about the emperor's heart and make the emperor unhappy. Just like just now, Bai Hua only said a few words, and the emperor nervously diverted the topic.

In fact, he himself knows that this matter really has nothing to do with Bai Hua, although this Wu Cheng is the prime minister's long history, but in fact, it is just a dog that the emperor put next to Bai Hua. It's just that Bai Hua is the prince's teacher, he is a supporter of King Chengyang, and the two belong to different camps, so it is normal for them to attack each other.

If you want to say that the real initiator is the emperor himself, he is too indulgent for Wu Cheng on weekdays. That's what led to the current consequence. Excluding dissidents and inviting merit to flatter, Wu Cheng did this, which is understandable for him. After all, as the emperor's favorite minister, guessing what he wants, solving problems for the emperor, and eliminating dissidents is the only condition for him to ascend to the throne.

It's a pity that he was too narrow-minded and misestimated the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Wutang, Zhao Wutang is not only a "former minister of the first emperor" for the emperor, but also the emperor's childhood friend, and the emperor's savior. If it weren't for Zhao Wutang, I'm afraid they would all be captives of the orcs by now.

Taking a step back, if the emperor had the heart to kill Zhao Wutang, he could have done it as early as Youzhou and Luoyang, so why wait until today.

Although this emperor of theirs is cold-hearted, stubborn and self-serving, and is so happy, he is even more afraid of death and losing that throne. A good general like Zhao Wutang, of course the emperor will use him. While using it and guarding at the same time, the emperor has always done this.

Just as Yan Qin was thinking about it, the crown prince Ling Luotian spoke: "Father, since this is the case, then it is enough to reward him with a glass of wine." Anyway, the DPRK and China want to send officials and defenders to hand over the defense of the southwest region, so it is better to send another envoy over to comfort the army and appease the local people.

As my father said, this battle was a great victory, and it was only natural to send an envoy over. It just so happens that you can also give this thing to you unconsciously. As for the statement, it is easy to do, let's say that the supervising army Wu Cheng occasionally felt a cold during the march, and coupled with the lack of water and soil, the medicine and stone were ineffective and died violently in the army. ”

The ministers' eyes lit up, looking at the young prince who had just been crowned and Bai Hua who was stroking his beard with a smug look on his face, he couldn't help but praise in his heart that this prince really learned some real skills with Bai Hua, it was really terrifying! Even Yan Qin, who supported the King of Chengyang, was secretly admired.

Ling Tianmu's eyes also lit up, and he exclaimed, "The prince is very kind in his words! I'm just afraid that Zhao Wutang will not be convinced! ”

"Your Majesty is too worried, Zhao Wutang has already known about this matter from the general's mouth, and he has not made any moves, just because he also knows that his identity is embarrassing, and it is not good to show his dissatisfaction too much. Moreover, he also knows that this matter is not related to your Majesty's face, and can only be decided by yourself! Therefore, the minister asked His Majesty to crown him as the general of Pingxi, and let the generals of the Guiyi Army be promoted to one level, all in order to appease people's hearts! Bai Hua said with a smile.

"Good! The prime minister really deserves to be my brainchild, and he is really far-sighted. In this case, then I should be more generous and reward him with a fake festival. It's easy to say that the hundred officials are also good at it, so they said that when Wu Cheng comes back, I will personally reward him! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Several people bowed their hands in unison.

"Prince, since this plan was made by you, then you should take a trip on my behalf. Rocky, you accompany the crown prince to go, so that Wu Cheng can see what is the minister of the humerus I really need, and by the way, send him on his last journey on my behalf, and it will not be in vain for him to serve me for so many years. ”

"No!" Ling Luo and Rocky replied in unison.

"What do you think of the next matter, the candidates for officials and the generals of the defenders in each county proposed by the ministers?"

"Father, you also know in your heart that those ministers are just installing their own cronies, and they can't be true."

"Your Majesty, what the prince said is reasonable!" Lodge echoed, "The rebellion of the barbarians in the southwest this time is because the empire has just arrived in Yizhou, and the situation is not stable; Second, because of the local officials' excessive collection of taxes and persecution of the people, only one of the four counties in the southwest has not been opposed, which is the best proof.

Therefore, the local officials selected this time must be reliable, and they do not need to be like Lu Mao, but they also need people who can implement the strategies of the imperial court. As for the people mentioned by the ministers, it is not unreasonable to choose some as minor officials.

In addition, the three counties have just suffered a rebellion and the people have been displaced, and the empire should reduce taxes and distribute food and other goods to settle down. ”

Ling Tianmu laughed, walked over and patted Rocky on the shoulder: "Hahahaha!" This is my imperial doctor, this is my minister, and my vision is indeed not wrong. What Qing said is exactly what I was thinking, and I decided to reduce taxes for three years, distribute grain, seeds, cattle and other things to help the people of the three counties tide over the difficulties. ”

Ling Tianmu walked up with a smile and tore the previously prepared holy decree into pieces: "This holy decree has been abolished, a few of you will discuss it now, and discuss the specific list of officials and guards who are released." Then the crown prince will redraft the decree, and after I have seen it, if there is no problem, the court will announce the decree tomorrow morning, so that the relevant departments can be prepared. ”

"No!"

A few people replied and began to discuss the list. After a while, a new holy decree drawn up by the crown prince Ling Luotian appeared in Ling Tianmu's hand.

Looking at this holy decree, Ling Tianmu's face was full of smiles. The more I looked, the more satisfied I was with this son of mine.

"The prince has grown up, and now he can handle state affairs!"

"Father has won the award! This is all the cultivation of the father and the teacher, and the sons and daughters have only learned the surface. In the future, I will have to mention more from my father! ”

"Tian'er is humble, humble!" Regardless of the presence of several ministers, Ling Tianmu directly called Ling Luotian's nickname.

"Alright, all stand down! The crown prince and Rocky are well prepared, and they will prepare supplies and gather men after the pilgrimage tomorrow morning. Within two days, we will leave for the southwest. ”

"No!" A few of them saluted again and withdrew. Only Ling Tian Mushang remained in the main hall, looking at the Holy Decree and not knowing what he was thinking.
