The atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze.

With Wen Yanbo's series of guilty, the round table suddenly became tense.

The emperor stretched out his hand and picked up the teacup, and the freshly brewed red robe exuded a refreshing fragrance.

Qin Qiong, the secretary of the military department and the Pingzhang matter, couldn't help but ask, "Since Cheng Yanjin followed His Majesty, he has been the first in every battle, and he has made countless meritorious achievements. Previously, he led Tiele and other armies to break through the Western Regions and level the Western Regions, and then sat in Anxi to ensure the submission of the countries in the Western Regions and the smooth flow of the Silk Road. ”

"This time the prince of Qiuci robbed the Silk Road, and it was not at fault that Monk Xu sent troops to capture it, and there was no fault for the rebellion of the army in Qiuci, and Cheng Biting Jin was in a hurry to obey the power, and he was not at fault for transferring troops to quell the chaos."

Qin Qiong has a good relationship with Cheng Yanjin, but it is not just a personal affair for him to stand up for him now.

Soldiers are in command of the army, and in times of emergency, they must be given the privilege of using soldiers.

"Cheng bites the Jintu tribe to destroy the country and kills more than 300,000 people in Anxi, isn't it a crime? Is it not a sin for him to set on arson and rob? Wen Yanbo asked.

"Although Cheng Biting Jin slaughtered the rebellious rat Nishi, he didn't take a penny or a sheep himself."

Wen Yanbo refused to let it go like this, "I didn't take a penny, but I can't change the fact that others are slaughtering and killing, and I can't change the fact that he slaughtered the city and destroyed the country." More than 300,000 people, without consulting the imperial court, directly slaughtered and arrogant! Guilty! ”

The originally quiet hall was shaken by Wen Yanbo's abruptly raised voice.

Zhang Xutuo of the Privy Council also spoke up.

"Talking about things, Monk Xu captured Prince Qiuci, although he crossed the defense area, but the crime committed by Prince Qiuci was serious, and the patrol battalion went out of bounds to capture the matter in a hurry, and he was not responsible. The first mistake is in the prince of Qiuci, who is bold and arrogant to rob my Silk Road Qin Shang, and the second mistake is in the general of Qiuci, Qiuci is at fault first, but he still dares to raise troops to intercept and attack my army of Daqin, this is an undeclared war! Monk Xu fought back after that, which was reasonable and without any problems. ”

Another university scholar Yu Shinan joined the battle group, "The Anxi army is used to being domineering, Monk Xu is good at crossing the defense area, he is the commander of a patrol cavalry battalion, but he did not ask his superiors, not only directly mobilized the entire patrol camp, but even gathered the city by the side of the fanzi, the patrol camp children, and the Tuntian militia, directly gathered 3,000 people, swaggered to Dunduo City, crossed the border to capture the prince of Qiuzi, not to mention, but also slaughtered Dunduo City, thousands of people. ”

"Monk Xu crossed the line, transferred without permission, and slaughtered the city. Cheng Yanjin is the same, as soon as he was the governor of Anxi Zuodu, he directly dared to pass the military order to Hexi, Qinghai, and Yili to seal the country, and he dared to transfer the Turkic feudal marquis, without consulting the imperial court, he transferred several tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who gave him the power? What about the Tiger Talisman? What about appointments? ”

"They have another solution, if they want to arrest Prince Guizi, do they have to cross the line and force him like this? Even if you cross the line and force your grip, can't you ask the court first? After you have captured someone, do you have to slaughter the city? ”

"They just deliberately provoked a war, and then they made military achievements!"

Song Laosheng, the deputy privy envoy, said, "How is this deliberately provoking a border provocation in order to gain military merit?" The Anxi front is no more complicated than the interior of the Central Plains, so the imperial court is the governor and the guard, and the military generals are too guarded, so that they can have the greatest right to engage in emergencies and can respond quickly. Cheng Biting Jin, Xu Monk their response was rapid, it is with the permission of the imperial court's system, this Anxi's counterattack is very beautiful, quickly annihilated the rebellion, if everything is as the scholar said, please ask the imperial court, this is more than 8,000 miles away, back and forth, the road will take half a month, what fighters are delayed, is it good to let things be delayed? ”

Feng Deyi, the imperial historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory, finally came down.

He impeached Cheng Yanjin, Xu Monk and other Anxi generals for dozens of crimes, more than Wen Yanbo mentioned before, and every crime he mentioned was based on a basis and a source, such as unauthorized deployment of troops and horses, defense of crossing the border, and so on.

Several major yamen quarreled with each other.

The emperor can still drink tea leisurely, for the Son of Heaven, if the ministers below are all harmonious, it is also quite dangerous, then the emperor is very likely to be set aside.

Quarrel and have different opinions, this is what the deliberations look like.

He allows for disagreement, as long as it can be agreed in the end, and if it can't, it is okay to accept obedience.

He just glanced at Zhang Yichen and then at Feng Deyi.

Feng Deyi is the deputy of Yushitai, and Zhang Yichen is the chief official, but now Zhang Yichen has not expressed his position, and Feng Deyi reacted quickly.

Coupled with the secret fold on Feng Deyi before, it was said that Zhang Yichen, the imperial historian, and Qin Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were sons-in-law, and they should avoid suspicion, and the father-in-law should not be the official who supervises his son-in-law.

This obviously means that Zhang Yichen should avoid suspicion of him, and let him be the governor of this imperial history platform.

Hou Mo Chenyi, the waiter in the middle of the left, stared at Feng Deyi.

"Feng Zhongcheng, if everything is only according to the law, then there is no need to hold this Xuanzheng Palace Imperial Meeting today, the Anxi Army has made a contribution to quelling the chaos, but now you have to stare at that bit of rules and regulations to ask for guilt, don't you chill the hearts of the heroes and soldiers? The front-line soldiers are still waiting for the reward, this is the New Year soon, and there is no result yet, but you still want to punish people? ”

"This official is the Yushitai of Yushitai, Yushitai is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, correcting violations of discipline, Anxi Army is guilty, I should point out impeachment, otherwise it will be my dereliction of duty." Feng Deyi refused to back down at all.

"Don't you know that leading troops to fight on the front line sometimes means that you have to do things in a hurry? There is a right to be entitled. Those who have passed through it, often also; Those who have the right to change also. The economy and the right can not be wasted! ”

The controversy surrounding the merits and demerits of the Anxi Army in this war is actually an attitude towards the Wuren group in the end.

The civil ministers led by the Hanlin Academy, as well as the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory, collectively impeached the Anxi military generals this time, which was dissatisfied with the increasingly high-status martial arts group of the imperial court.

The Privy Council naturally supports the martial arts, and half of the political affairs hall are prime ministers who are military generals, so they naturally support the legitimate rights and interests of the martial arts.

The emperor finally put down the teacup at this time.

The teacups made a slight noise on the table, but the ministers' arguments immediately ceased, and they all looked at the emperor.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"It's almost the New Year, everyone has objections, but don't be so angry. First of all, I would like to ask two questions, the first battle in the Western Regions was a great victory, and it was a battle to promote the prestige of our country and suppress Xiaoxiao, which should be affirmed. ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, he undoubtedly wanted to set the tone.

"Let's not talk about the controversial Cheng Yanjin and Monk Xu, I will first talk about the Anxi soldiers this time, the soldiers of the Second Patrol Cavalry Regiment, the Turkic soldiers of Wulei and Nishi counties, and the princes of Yili's fiefdom, they are all loyal to the king, sent troops to quell the chaos, and have meritorious service!"

The word merit is very direct.

Therefore, this time the military department should check the meritorious achievements of the soldiers as soon as possible, and give the meritorious evaluation. The promotion and reward of officers above the fifth grade shall be the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials, and you will also evaluate and implement them as soon as possible. ”

In a few words, the emperor separated this matter, and the only people to dispute were Cheng Yanjin and Monk Xu, not about the affairs of the soldiers and generals below, and the generals had meritorious deeds.

The rise is the reward, and the reward is rewarded, and there can be no further delay.

"Do you have any objections to my proposal?" The emperor's gaze swept over everyone's faces and asked slowly.
