Chapter 159: Response
When He Muhan received Yu Qiancheng's tiger talisman, he actually felt a sense of relief in his heart, and his voice became more calm and calm.
But the careful ministers in the Warm Heart Hall actually discovered a detail in He Qingping's speech just now, "I plan to ask Qingping to help you watch the matter of the Shahai Camp for a few days", because many people know that since He Qingping disappeared in the Qianran Underground Palace, he has been searched for in many ways but cannot be obtained, and now He Muhan has given He Qingping a position, which makes many people wonder if He Muhan has found He Qingping.
Unexpectedly, He Muhan didn't hide it, squinted his eyes and said: "Yes, it's He Qingping, my eighth prince, he is back." ”
But when it came to this, He Muhan stopped talking and didn't want to say any more.
Wei Zhengxun, the left prime minister, who always likes to speak last, spoke in advance this time, and said with a smile: "It is really the blessing of Your Majesty and the blessing of Jinyang to be able to find the Eighth Prince." ”
He Muhan didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic anymore, but said, "In my life, I don't want my son to leave me for so long." ”
Wei Zhengxun was silent for a while, and muttered: "People live all their lives, and they live in troubled times, and there are nine times out of ten that life is unsatisfactory. ”
He Muhan suddenly stopped his voice, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.
Wei Zhengxun closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and after some consideration, he said slowly: "Let me talk about some digressions first, I don't know how the 20,000 Shahai battalion will be arranged after General Yu's southward departure, whether to continue to defend Xirong in the west, or to transfer to Jinyang Gongwei Capital." ”
Wei Zhengxun's words seem to be off-topic, but in fact, people with a slightly clearer heart and liver can hear the meaning of this sentence - He Muhan has already said just now, let He Qingping be in charge of the Shahai camp in the future, and then said that he is unwilling to leave He Qingping again, and the extended meaning is not to transfer the Shahai camp to Jinyang?
However, regarding such a large-scale military transfer, it is the most sensitive topic in the temple, and it is generally the emperor's cadres who are arbitrary, and few courtiers take the initiative to intervene in this way. It is said that Wei Zhengxun has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he should have been well versed in this, but for some reason, he still asked like this.
Yu Qiancheng, the former governor of the Shahai camp on the side, was still kneeling on the ground, his head down, making it impossible to see what the expression on his face was.
Seeing that Lao Xiangguo asked such an abrupt question, He Muhan was calm, and said lightly: "Ningxiang Hou went south this time and took away most of the garrisons of Jinyang City, and now Jinyang City's troops are stretched, so I plan to transfer the Shahai battalion to Jinyang, after all, the capital is important, and it is related to the stability of the situation in the world, and there is no room for error." ”
Unexpectedly, Yu Qiancheng still refused to give up, and asked: "What should I do if I go through the customs that day?" That is the main pass guarding Xirong, the second male pass in the world, if there is no soldier to defend, once Xirong has changed, after breaking through the Tiandang Pass, the whole world is in danger. ”
Speaking of which, when he heard "the whole world is in danger", there was already a bit of a threat, and even some alarmism, Rao is He Muhan, his face also changed slightly, and he glanced at Wei Zhengxun coldly.
Wei Zhengxun seemed to be unafraid, he raised his neck, and there was an unprecedented stubbornness on his old face, I don't know where the emperor gave the 20,000 sand sea camp in Yuqiancheng to the prince, and at what point he violated his taboo.
The two of them confronted each other, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while.
Mu Baichuan, the right minister next to him, saw this scene, and after thinking about it, he cleared his throat and said slowly: "In fact, Wei Xiangye's doubts, in the final analysis, are still not at ease with Xirong, Emperor Gao also said that 'Rong' is a knife, and we in Jinyang can't let it be sharpened quickly." But ......"
Mu Baichuan's words changed, "But... But now it's different from the past, now the Xirong Tribes, the Canglang Department has completely moved closer to us, this time in the south, Meng Xiaochen, the son of the Canglang Department, went south with the army to contribute to my Jinyang, as for Helian, the power of a single department can't set off much wind and waves. According to the current situation, for the livelihood of Jinyang Sheji and the world, there are three strategies for His Majesty to choose. ”
Mu Baichuan has been the right minister of the imperial court for many years, and the difference from ordinary people is that ordinary people can only ask questions, but Mu Baichuan can solve them, and sure enough, when these words came out, even He Muhan, who was originally dignified, eased a little, stared at Mu Baichuan, and listened carefully to what he had to say.
Mu Baichuan's voice was steady and powerful: "Since the founding of Emperor Gao, the capital of Jinyang, the king of Fenglan in the east, the king of Cang in the west, the king of Yan in the north, and the king of Wei in the south, now my Jinyang central court has gone through a series of battles, and the troops are stretched, but His Majesty the Emperor should not forget that we still have four vassal states in Jinyang, and the Yan country Fengyun rode out for His Majesty, which can be a model for the world, so the best policy of the ministers is to give His Majesty's imperial decree to the other three vassal states, so that they can send troops to fight for the country." ”
He Muhan lowered his head and thought about it, and asked, "What about the middle strategy?" ”
Mu Baichuan said without thinking: "Although the 80,000 army of Ningxiang Hou is not enough to pacify South Vietnam, if it is to defend southern Xinjiang, 80,000 people are enough, and the middle strategy is to make Ningxiang Hou rebuild the Thirteen Beacon Fortress and hold the southern side of the charge. ”
He Muhan gently stroked the beard that had already emerged under his chin, and still asked, "What about the next step?" ”
This time, Mu Baichuan paused, and it took a long time to squeeze out these words: "The next policy is the strategy that Your Majesty just had, to transfer the troops of the Shahai battalion into Jinyang, and the 80,000 troops of the Marquis of Ningxiang will take the posture of attacking." ”
He Muhan shook his head with a wry smile, and joked softly: "In this way, what I thought just now, the imperial court left and right, one opposed it, and the other thought it was the next policy, it seems that I was wrong." ”
Seeing He Muhan say this, the ministers in the hall immediately stopped speaking and held their breath.
He Muhan said: "Mu Xiangye's best policy just now, I have actually thought about it countless times, but in addition to Yan State, how much loyalty to the monarch and protector of the vassal states is left, you must know better than me, and now that the Yan State Fengyun Cavalry is almost completely wiped out, it has added to the doubts of other vassal states, I am worried, I have just sent out the imperial decree to let them send troops, and the letter to the court asking for money and food has come." As for the middle strategy, please think about it, Emperor Gao opened up his territory and expanded his territory, and the Holy Grandfather turned the tide, what kind of majestic wind is it? In my generation, I was bullied like this by South Vietnam? I don't agree! Moreover, the two strategies are very tested, and if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game. ”
Hearing the emperor's cold words, all the ministers of the Warm Heart Hall knelt down, and their voices rang out one after another, "The minister is guilty, let Your Majesty be disgraced." ”
He Muhan looked at the floor, those ministers who were in high positions in the empire, all kneeling densely in front of him, he crossed his fingers, smiled lightly in his heart, and already had an idea, and said, "Wei Xiangye stays, and everyone else goes down...... My will will be known to everyone later. ”
