Chapter 182: The Battle of Wuwei (8)
The old man with white hair, as soon as he heard that the civil official who came out to be a peacemaker mentioned the second prince, he bowed his head and was silent, and then he also retracted his steps, Xue Ju took in the situation on the dragon chair, and then saw that no one in the Manchu Dynasty had raised objections, so he also nodded with satisfaction, and said to the people in the court: "Okay, since you Aiqing have already agreed on this matter." Now there is no objection to our dispatch of troops to rescue Wuwei County, so it was agreed that 30,000 troops would be gathered to the north to aid Wuwei County. In addition, all the actions of this army in Wuwei were under the unified command of Zhuang Fudi, the defense chief of Wuwei County at this time. In addition, you Aiqing have other things to talk about. ”
At this time, the ministers in the court were vaguely aware of a trace of dissatisfaction in Xue Ju's tone, so there were still people who dared to touch Xue Ju's moldy head at this time. Although there are many people in the forces standing behind them who support them, they can directly influence the direction of Xue's actions, but at this time, if a big hat that is bullying the monarch is buttoned down, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, he will not be able to save it. So they bowed their hands and said, "The ministers have no performance." ”
Xue Ju nodded, got up and waved his sleeve robe at the ministers and said, "Well, since all of you Aiqing have no music, then today's court deliberations will end here, and the court will disperse." Then Xue Ju turned around and left the court without looking back.
After the ministers had been bowing down and sending Xue Ju out of the court, they all straightened up and walked out of the court in twos and threes.
Not long after the old man with white hair walked out of the court, he heard his name called behind him, so he stopped and turned his head to look back. Seeing that it was the official who had come out to be a peacemaker in the court earlier, he arched his hand and said, "Oh, it's Lord Wang." I don't know what Lord Wang has to say when he is looking for old decay? ”
The peacemaker also arched his hand at the old man with white hair and said, "Elder Zhang, you are the patriarch of our Great Qin, and you are the current national master. This voice really torments me, how can I afford your voice? You can make fun of me. ”
"I almost forgot about it if I didn't mention it, but today in the court, thanks to the help of Lord Wang, I was able to stop my stupid behavior. It's just that Ren Yue has been away from his side for a long time, and at this time, he suddenly mentioned Li Wenyuan in the Western Regions, and I couldn't react at the first time, which almost made Long Yan angry. ”
"Zhang Lao laughed, how can you be stupid? You are a noble person, how forgetful. What's more, Mr. Zhang thinks day and night for the country and the people, and abolishes private affairs because of public affairs, which is a model for us. And when His Majesty sent the second prince to Li Wenyuan's side and became an official, didn't you also know about it later. Therefore, the scene of being forced to send troops at this time cannot be blamed on you and me in any way.
However, we are now all courtiers of Great Qin, and our own duty is to share worries for the monarch. This time, since His Majesty has made up his mind, then those of us who are courtiers should stop meddling in our affairs. What's more, didn't Your Majesty make it clear: this army is under the command of that person named Zhuang Fudi. In other words, after this army leaves the border of our Great Qin State, it will change its flag and hang up the banner of the Western Regions Army. At that time, no matter how bloody the battle with the coalition forces of the Eastern Turks and the Liang State is, and what kind of grudge the two sides have, it will be the Liang Zi between the Eastern Turks and the Liang State and Li Wenyuan of the Western Regions, and it will not be counted on the head of our Great Qin in any case.
Therefore, Zhang Lao should not bother about this matter anymore, the top priority is the selection of these 30,000 troops. I know Your Majesty too well, Your Majesty is bold by nature, easy to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, and he is extremely interested in the word righteousness. Since he can entrust his second son to Li Wenyuan, it is enough to see Li Wenyuan, this person's status in His Majesty's mind. Therefore, if Your Majesty sends troops to help Li Wenyuan stick to Wuwei County this time, he will inevitably select the elite men in our army to form an elite force of 30,000 people to meet the attack in the north.
But Your Majesty thinks so, but we can't do this, after all, we still have Li Yuan, a hungry wolf, lying on our side. In the past, when he was also a courtier of the Great Sui, this guy was pretending to pose as a wretch, but when the world of the Great Sui was not in chaos, he was the happiest to come out and dance. If you want me to say that this kind of person is more hateful than the peasant rebels who troubled the Great Sui. Those rebels are just some princes and generals, and they would rather have a kind of recklessness. And Li Yuan's move is to confirm the title of a national thief!
He wants to be Cao Cao, and he wants to be the son of heaven to order the princes. Let's pay more attention, the information that we sent troops north to Chiyuan Wuwei County will definitely be known by Li Yuan. With his temperament, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to defeat us. Therefore, if you want me to say, when we select the army to fight in the north this time, we must not select elite soldiers from the southeast defense line. Moreover, it is necessary to appropriately use elite men to strengthen our defense line in the southeast, which is a matter that cannot be careless.
It stands to reason that I should tell His Majesty about this matter in person at the court, but today's court has already made a bit of a miasma just because of whether or not to send troops. In addition to old ministers like Zhang Laoyou, who really think from the perspective of Daqin, there are also some people who have bad intentions in order to sow discord between us and Li Wenyuan. I was afraid that if I told this matter in the court, I would be used by these people to play on the topic and add fuel and vinegar, so I didn't explain it to Your Majesty. Since you are the current ruler of Your Majesty, then this Great Qin is also equivalent to yours. In my opinion, it would be better for you to explain this matter to Your Majesty. After a few polite words between the two parties, Lord Wang told Zhang Lao about his worries.
After hearing this, Zhang Lao also nodded, and said to Lord Wang: "What Lord Wang said is really reasonable, I really haven't thought about this matter. I will go and explain this matter to Your Majesty, and I believe that Your Majesty will have a reasonable solution. ”
So after the two said goodbye to each other, Zhang Lao turned his head and went to meet Xue Ju again.
As soon as Xue Ju saw that his father-in-law was coming, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and beckoned his subordinates to bring a chair, and then helped his father-in-law to sit down, and said to Zhang Lao: "Why didn't the father-in-law go home for lunch after the dispersal of the dynasty, but came here directly to find me, do you have something to tell me?" ”
Hearing Xue Ju ask about his intentions, Zhang Lao told Xue Ju everything that Lord Wang said to him.
