Great Qi calendar, 1233.

Twenty-seventh of the lunar month.

This is the last pilgrimage meeting of the year.

Qi was in turmoil and foreign troubles, and the elite army was all at the border, either in the north to guard against Beicang, or in the south to confront the Chu State, and the rest were in Qingzhou.

Kuchar went south, Shanggu County was lost, and 100,000 elite soldiers were lost.

As a result, Yanmen, another Xiongguan, had to divide troops to go to the valley to prevent the grassland.

There are no pawns in the Northlands.

In the south, the state of Chu relied on the sharp navy and the offensive was surging, and it was good that the state of Qi could barely support it.

As for the direction of Qingzhou in the west......

Eight hundred miles have been rushed to arrive, and the general Tian Xu was defeated in Qingzhou, his own body died, and the 200,000 elites of Qi were also lost.

At this time, the army of the Kuai family was attacking the city in the hinterland, although it was a rabble compared to the elite of the Qi country, but the imperial court had no defensive army, so what could it do?

The situation has come to this, but above the court of Qi State, what has been discussed recently is not how to retreat from the enemy, but ...... Who is responsible for the destruction of the Qingzhou Army?

The left prime minister, led by Jiang Feng of the Jiang family, all believed that Qingzhou would be destroyed, all due to the chaos of the Kuai family and other families, which caused the insufficient supply of military funds to the Qingzhou army.

And the reason why the Kuai family was able to cause disaster was because someone in the imperial court forcibly suppressed Jiang Taixu's golden and jade words that Jiang Taixu had sent to the Kuai family to rebel, so that the Kuai family was able to jump over the wall in a hurry and cause a catastrophe.

Therefore, the culprit of the danger of the Qi country is the person who suppressed Jiang Tai's good words in the first place.

The spearhead is directed at the right minister and the group of filial piety.

But Gou Cunxiao and others are naturally not easy to provoke, if it weren't for Jiang Taixu's collusion with Qingyunzhai and the emptying of the Kuai family, the persecution was too great, and the Kuai family would not have rebelled.

Moreover, transporting grain, grass and ordnance to the army is a matter for Zuo Xiang's family, and even Tian Xu, the general of the defeated army, was personally recommended by Zuo Xiang, but as a result, Tian Xu himself died, not to mention, and he was tired of 200,000 Qi elites who lost everything, and several major crimes were pointed to Zuo Xiang Jiang Feng.

The two factions are evenly matched, and the war of words has been going on for several days.

Above the court, there was a miasma of black smoke.

If it weren't for the fact that the rebellious army of the family was about to enter Linzi, the left and right ministers discussed in the Lantai Pavilion for six hours yesterday, and today's court meeting might still be just meaningless mutual scolding and scolding.

The elderly Emperor Qi sat on the throne, looking down at the hundred officials in the main hall, and said in a young voice: "Ministers, the state affairs are difficult, the Qingzhou army has been destroyed, the Shanggu army has been destroyed, and Xuzhou in the south has also suffered heavy losses. In addition, the Kuai family and other rebellious ministers and thieves gathered to make trouble, which made the disaster even greater. The common people were killed, and the people were innocent. Ministers, can there be a strategy to help the community? ”

After the heads of the hundred officials glanced at each other, they all bowed down and asked for sin: "The ministers have a negative grace." ”

Jiang Feng said in a deep voice: "The monarch is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, at this time of crisis, the ministers think that above the court, they should no longer take responsibility first, but should retreat from the enemy first." ”

Gou Cunxiao echoed: "Zuo Xiang's words are reasonable, those who have not heard that the strong enemy is outside and the internal are not appeased can resist the enemy and quell the chaos, and the outside must first be at ease." The minister thought that the top priority was to quell the rebellion of the family. ”

Seeing that the left and right sides were no longer fighting, Emperor Qi flashed a glint in his cloudy old eyes, and said, "Oh? Why does Aiqing think that the Kuijia Rebellion should be the first? Qingzhou has been broken, how can the Qin State Iron Horse be comparable to the likes of Kuai Zhao? ”

Jiang Feng said: "Your Majesty, although the Qin State Iron Cavalry is strong, as long as there is the Jixia School Palace and the master, it will not be able to shake the Qi State Sheji after all." However, the Kuai family and other thieves are rebellious and reckless, and they have no king and no father in their hearts, and if they are allowed to continue, they may cause great trouble. Therefore, when the rebellion of the Kuai family is put down first,"

When Emperor Qi heard this, he bowed slightly.

In fact, as for whether someone can subvert the Qi country, Qi Emperor Wu Qi has never been worried.

For thousands of years, as long as there is a Jixia School Palace, there is a master, no matter whether there are foreign enemies or powerful ministers, they will not be able to shake the Wu family emperor in the slightest.

Now it seems dangerous, but the master is on the master mountain, and he doesn't need to worry.

The only thing that displeased him was that he didn't want to see the Qi country being ruined in his hands, otherwise how would he explain to his ancestors and ancestors after he returned to heaven?

Although I don't know what deal the left and right ministers have made in private, it is imperative that as long as the country is calmed down, the rest will be talked about slowly in the future.

As for the responsibility for the defeat of Qingzhou, which has been arguing for several days......

After thinking about it, Emperor Qi said: "How to resist the enemy, Lantai Pavilion has come up with a charter to inherit to me." As for the defeat of Qingzhou...... Alas, there is not only the scourge of thieves, but also the responsibility of General Tian Dada's dereliction of duty. The 200,000 army, and the benefit of Qingzhou City, could not stop the 180,000 Qin army...... Message: The general Tian Xu was burdened with the grace of the emperor, but he did not think of reciprocating, causing the 200,000 tiger elites of the dynasty to lose their lives and lose hope. I am the Son of Heaven, and I should be rewarded and punished. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you should be punished, otherwise, how can you be powerful in the world? Tian Xu committed a great crime against the country, deprived the Tian family of all the seals, and recovered the Danshu iron coupons. Although Tian Xu's father and son died, the Tian clan was guilty. Take up the three clans and send them to the border as slaves. ”

Hearing the holy sound, the faces of the people on the left and the horses became gloomy, but on the other hand, the people of the Gou family on the right showed surprise.

Because Tian Xu was originally an important minister close to Jiang Feng's family, but now that he is dead, he is still being pursued by Emperor Qi like this, isn't it Jiang Feng's face?

However, Jiang Feng and Gou Cunxiao were both expressionless, and there was no joy in their hearts.

Because both of them understood that Emperor Qi seemed to be trying to end the dispute for several days and eliminate the root cause of the infighting, but in fact, he buried a nail between the two, and the two knew that it was a nail, so they had to step on it.

Originally, Jiang Feng and Gou Cunxiao had reached an agreement, after all, the Gou family lost the righteousness in front of them, so in addition to giving up a few positions in the big city, they also had to compensate the Jiang family for 200,000 acres of land to cover up the matter, and the Jiang family no longer held the Gou family and the Kuai family accountable.

As for the responsibility of Qingzhou, let the dead Tian Xu bear it, but it will not involve the Tian family, and Jiang Feng will face it.

But who would have thought that above the court, Emperor Qi would hit such a heavy board at Tian Xu, which was equivalent to hitting Jiang Feng.

How can Jiang Feng be calm?

Even if he wants to calm down, the important ministers and members of the Jiang family will not give up.

Obviously, the hidden dangers of the struggle have been planted again......

The Emperor's Technique.

However, it's nothing, whether there is this thorn or not, the left and right sides will continue to fight, and if they have the opportunity, they will naturally put each other to death.

Let's talk about it when we get through the current difficulties......

The two prime ministers both had this kind of thinking and led hundreds of officials to lead the order.

However, when he was about to retreat, suddenly there was a commotion in the imperial forest outside the palace.

However, it was a little flat, and when the imperial history of the palace was about to take a look with a black face, he found that a young man in white dressed Sheng Xue with a handsome appearance like a god came from outside the hall stepping on the snow.

Not only the imperial history of the palace, but also the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Emperor of Qi were slightly surprised when they saw it.

"Ziyuan, but is there something wrong with the master?"

Although Emperor Qi did not get up, he also sat up straight with his old body and asked with a smile.

After Jiang Taixu went to the palace, he bowed slightly and said, "The teacher has gone down to Confucius Mountain yesterday and went to Qin and Chu. ”

Emperor Qi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the master go to the two countries?" ”

Jiang Taixu said: "For the withdrawal of Qi from the Central Plains War, the matter has come to this, the Qi State is no longer able to dominate in the war, and its mountains and rivers are broken Li Shu has been martyred for ten years, why not quit, after quelling the rebellion of the Kuai clan, and then make a decision." After the return of the family teacher, His Majesty can send an envoy to discuss specific matters with the two countries. ”

When Emperor Qi heard this, after several changes in his complexion, he could only respond after all.

The so-called deliberation is nothing but to negotiate peace.

It is not allowed to cede land, pay compensation, or accept loss......

For Emperor Qi, this is tantamount to the pain of being slapped in the mouth.

However, the other courtiers pressed their uneasy hearts, and finally they didn't have to worry about fighting to the death with the barbarians of the Qin State.

Emperor Qi sighed, and could only say: "The court is restless, and the husband is far away, and I am ashamed." ”

Jiang Taixu replied: "Your Majesty is the king, the palace is the minister, and it is the duty of the courtiers to share worries for the king, and your Majesty should not be ashamed." ”

These replies made Emperor Qi's face soothe a lot.

He looked at Jiang Taixu, whose demeanor was like a divine jade, and said warmly: "Ziyuan, I heard that you recently came to take 100,000 acres of land and grain and rice from the Jiang family to settle the displaced people, and I am very relieved. If it weren't for knowing your character, I would have been rewarded. It's just that you don't accept the reward of gold and silver officials, and you can't be humble anymore, right? ”

For Jiang Taixu's approach, Emperor Qi was really happy from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Taixu was accepted as a mantle disciple by the master, and Emperor Qi was not without pressure in his heart.

The Jiang family was originally the head of the twelve upper high gates of the Great Qi, and the foundation was extremely profound, and the head of the Jiang family was the first person in the hundred officials.

If the disciple of the Jiang family becomes a master, then wouldn't the Wu family be in jeopardy?

It is still the master and the son to ensure that the way of sanctification is a ruthless way, and the stability of the society of Qi will be maintained, otherwise the holy path will be unstable.

Despite this, it was still difficult for Emperor Qi to be completely relieved in his heart.

It wasn't until he learned that Jiang Taixu had been making a pie recently, and Emperor Qi almost woke up laughing when he was sleeping.

Learning from Qingyunzhai's approach, isn't it self-isolation from the family?

It's good to be self-defeating!

Emperor Qi's words made the faces of the important ministers of the court not look good, especially Jiang Feng.

However, at this moment, he saw Jiang Taixu bowing again, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty cares about the people, which is the blessing of the community." It's just that the minister came today, and there is still something unfinished. ”

Qi Huangqi said: "I don't know when? ”

Jiang Taixu straightened his waist, his eyes fell like a torch on the face of Gou Cunxiao, who was gradually uneasy in his heart, and said loudly: "Qingjun side, punish the traitor, and use the community to peace!" ”

……

"Jiang Taixu, this person is a character. In terms of qualifications, it can be called the best in the world. If this were not the case, the master would not have appointed him as the heir of the school palace. ”

In the west of Qingyun Village, on the bank of the Canglan River, next to a bonfire, Lin Ning laughed softly while stirring up the fire.

On the side, Qi Yan was still wearing the bearskin coat, and the whole person was wrapped in it, not too cold, he smiled: "Brother, I naturally know that Jiang Taixu is extraordinary, but what kind of extraordinary method is it?" I heard my brother say that Jiang Taixu actually wanted to copy what the cottage did in Linzi, how could this be done by a wise man? ”

When he first heard about it, he was shocked.

Lin Ning laughed and said: "Zichang, this is the reason why I said that the qualifications of you and I are not as good as others." I seem to be able to do it, but in fact, I have built this foundation on a blank field, and there is limited resistance. But Jiang Ziyuan is too empty, but he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, but he prefers to go to the tiger mountain. Doesn't he know the resistance to doing this in Linzi? He knew, but he still had the courage to do it. ”

Qi Yan thought about it, it was true, it was just ......

"Brother, then why do you say that he will be defeated in this trip?"

Lin Ning said with a smile: "He thinks what I did is an evil way, because he wants to kill on a large scale." But when he goes that far, he also has to kill. If you kill less, you won't be able to use it. Because this is a fundamental contradiction of interests, it cannot be resolved. Even if it can be implemented for a while, it is destined to last long, and it will still have to be used after all. ”

Qi Yan understood, shook his head again, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that this person is a pity, if he is ruling the world, he should be a good minister." But in troubled times, he is not as good as his brother. ”
