Chapter 982 - Birth and Change Under the Elbow and Armpit
The Western Turks sent 200,000 troops and the Tibetan troops sent 100,000 troops, all of whom had to enter Tuyuhun to restore the country for Murong Ke.
They did not intend to accept the strong warnings of the Great Qin Empire, and still insisted on going their own way, not only did not resolve the intention of fighting, but instead clamored for the Qin State to withdraw from Hexi and retreat to the east of Longshan.
In the face of such an arrogant attitude, even if the emperor is now in a coma in Chang'an Taiji Palace, the prime ministers of the political hall are not willing to give in and compromise.
Chen Shuda, who had proposed peace before, has now unified his voice with Hou Mochen and other prime ministers, and decided to fight first.
"Victory is not negotiated, respect is not negotiated, it is fought." The very hawkish Chinese scholar Hou Mo Chen Yi said.
Zhang Xutuo, the privy envoy who was out of town, and Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, were on their way back to Chang'an, while the two prime ministers, Fang Xuanling, the servant of Zhongshu, and Du Ruhui, the left servant of Shangshu, were secretly escorting the crown prince from Luoyang to Chang'an.
The two prime ministers and the crown prince were Shangshu's right servant Wang Ziming and the left Shenwei general Zhang Liang, who galloped back to Luoyang with 4,000 Shenwei troops and rode back to Luoyang to welcome the crown prince to Chang'an.
At the same time, in Chang'an's political hall, the remaining six prime ministers are temporarily replacing the emperor in power.
"How about sending an additional 100,000 soldiers and horses to Hexi, with the guard in command?" Hanlin Academy, bachelor, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Wen Yanbo Dao.
"Wei Xiang is too old, I'm afraid that my body can't bear it, I think I will be elected as a general to go to command the war in Hexi." Hou Mochen proposed.
"Lijiang Wang Cunxiao is still in Shannan, why don't you send someone to send an order to let him command the army and guard Hexi?" Wen Yanbo said.
As a result, his proposal was immediately opposed by the old minister, Qu Tutong, "Confused, when is it, Your Majesty is seriously ill, although he is cured by the Medicine King Divine Needle, but the emperor will not recover for a while, and it is still unknown whether he can wake up." At such a time, the clan must not be allowed to hold the military and political power. ”
Let Cunxiao go to Hexi to sit in the town, with hundreds of thousands of troops, if the emperor can wake up, it's okay, in case the emperor can't wake up, then the crown prince will come to Chang'an to take the throne, if Luo Cunxiao has any ambitions, what should I do?
He has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and once he rebels, the consequences are unimaginable.
Especially if Cunxiao is a fierce general and the emperor's brother, if he rebels, he will not rebel compared to ordinary generals, maybe there will really be many people who support him, after all, the prince is still too young.
It is not uncommon for a brother to end up with a brother, and it is also a common thing that the country is difficult to establish a long king.
Qu Tutong is also an old Xiangguo in his seventies, and he still sees the matter of power struggle relatively clearly, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
"I thought that not only could Cunxiao not be allowed to go to Hexi to command the army, but even the imperial court had to give him an order, so that he could hurry up and hurry to the fiefdom of Lijiang, Yunnan, and he had no will, so he must not leave the fiefdom lightly. It is also necessary to give a secret order to the pro-army generals of the Lijiang Kingdom, once there is any change in Cunxiao, he can be arrested immediately, and he will be put under house arrest first. ”
"Not really, right?"
"What's not going to happen, just in case. Don't you remember what happened to Yuwen after the death of Yuwentai in the Western Wei Dynasty? ”
Yuwen Huzi Sabao was originally Yuwentai's nephew.
In his early years, he followed Yuwentai to fight in the east and west, and made many military exploits, and became a hussar general.
Before Yuwentai died of illness, he handed over power to Yuwenhu on his deathbed, allowing him to take over the state politics of the Western Wei Dynasty and assist his son. Yuwen Hu later forced Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty to locate Yuwen Jue, the son of Yuwen Tai, and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, he was named the Great Sima and entered the Duke of Jin.
But after that, Yuwen Hu dictatorship and arbitrary government, killed Yuwentai's three sons in three years, set up three emperors to kill three emperors, and later killed Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, took charge of the government, led the left and right twelve armies, and tilted the power towards the government and the opposition.
If it weren't for Yuwentai's fourth son, Yuwen Yong, who was very shrewd and capable, Taoguang was obscure, deceived Yuwen Hu, and finally found an opportunity to get rid of the careless Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Tai would be dead under Jiuquan.
Qu Tong said suddenly, "When Yuwen Hu followed Yuwentai to conquer the world, he was also loyal, but later Yuwentai trusted him so much, and he was lonely on his deathbed, but he set up three emperors to kill three emperors in three years, and in the face of power, there was no family affection at all, especially the heavenly family." ”
What he meant was that Luo Cunxiao was certainly the emperor's brother and had great achievements, but who could guarantee that he would not be the next Yuwen Protector?
"Not only can Cunxiao not be allowed to come back, but even Shixin outside the customs should also be ordered by the Political Affairs Hall to remove him from his military post and transfer him back to Beijing, and it is best to directly grant him a fief, so that he can become a vassal country as soon as possible, so as to avoid future troubles."
"King Zhao is not necessary, King Zhao's thickness is well known."
"Just in case, now is an extraordinary time, we must beware of the clan, we must not let them hold the military and political power, it is best to let them be sealed as soon as possible, so that the kings of the clan can also control the court. If there is a traitor in the court one day, the kings of the clan can also order the army to raise troops to clear the king's side. ”
Wei Zheng couldn't help but look embarrassed by Qu Tutong's words.
What kind of treacherous ministers, what Qing Jun's side, they are all prime ministers, and they are the only ones who really want to be treacherous ministers, how can anyone say this about their own people.
However, he had to admit that Qu Tutong's words were indeed Lao Cheng's serious words.
When the emperor was there, no matter how much he trusted his brothers, no matter how much he conferred official positions on them and let them lead the army, it didn't matter, because no matter whether it was heirs or filial piety, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't surpass the emperor.
If there is an emperor in one day, he can hold them down for one day.
But in case the emperor is gone, it will be difficult to say.
Although there are few Great Qin clans, Luo Siye, Luo Cunxiao, Luo Shixin, and Luo Yi, these four kings are enough to hold up half the sky, and they are all very powerful, and no one dares to despise carelessness.
As for Luo Jizu, Luo Chengzong, Luo Shou and other clans, although they have no prestige, they have to be treated equally, otherwise they will not be able to explain to them.
The emperor couldn't wake up for a day, and those famous kings of the Zong clan threatened the young crown prince and the stability of the court every day.
"There is also the eldest grandson Wuji, he is the elder brother of the eldest grandson Zhaoyi and the uncle of King Liang, at this time, you have to be cautious, and you can temporarily transfer him from the important position of Luoyang Mansion Yin."
At the moment of the great enemy, several prime ministers are also heartbroken.
It is necessary to guard against external enemies, but also to guard against internal enemies.
At this time, any problem will be a major event.
"Let Shan Xiongxin return to Chang'an, he is the crown prince's uncle." Wei Zheng said, "As for Hexi, it can be handed over to Cheng Yanjin to take charge, and then assisted by Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, and Niu Jinda, to add another 100,000 troops to Hexi, and 150,000 people should be able to defend without worry." ”
"As for the front line of Longyou, it is still presided over by Qin Qiong, and then let Wei Chigong and Lai be the deputy generals, and give him another 100,000 troops."
