Chapter Seventy-Four: The Court Debates (I)

The early dynasty was still an old-fashioned rule, the ministers shouted like a bell in the mountains, and the emperor called the people as plain as water. Only then did the state affairs begin in earnest.

Fang Zheng quietly moved his body back, moved to a blind corner that the emperor couldn't see, leaned on the big pillar, and began to nap. The hangover is still not gone, my head is still very painful, and I am seriously deprived of sleep, as if I stayed up all night in an Internet cafΓ© in my previous life.

Fang Zheng gradually fell into a half-dream, but the atmosphere in the court began to be warm.

Wei Chengde, the secretary of the military department, was the first to go out and played: "Your Majesty, General Feng Qiudao, who raided the grassland by the holy decree, has returned to Beijing in triumph last night, General Feng won a great victory in this battle, breaking dozens of Turkic tribes, forcing the Turkic army to withdraw, and thousands of people in our Chinese Dynasty were spared the war. ”

The emperor smiled lightly: "Wei Aiqing is right, Feng Qiudao and the 20,000 soldiers led by him really live up to my expectations, this battle will raise the prestige of my country, and I really deserve a reward." ”

After pondering for a moment, the emperor said: "Why don't you give him the general of the Longwu Army, Feng Yi Yongbo, 500 households, and command the entire Longwu army." The former General Fan of the Longwu Army was transferred to the military department as the right attendant, and all the soldiers who went out to fight were rewarded according to their military merits, what do the secretaries think? ”

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, the emperor's reward was a bit wrong, although Feng Qiudao had indeed made great contributions to the imperial court, there was no reason to be promoted so quickly. This person is only in his twenties, and he carried out a task of raiding the grassland, and he actually became a general who commanded tens of thousands of troops, and there was already a Fang Zhengfang Lord in front of him, and there was another Feng Qiudao at this time, what happened to the emperor? Could it be that in recent years, the emperor has preferred to promote young courtiers?

Among so many ministers, the one who couldn't figure it out the most was General Fan, the commander of the former Longwu Army. One didn't make a mistake and the other was not greedy, and he relieved his military power for no reason, and no one felt comfortable in his heart. It's uncomfortable and can't object, after all, military power is a sensitive thing, a general grabs military power and refuses to let go, what are your intentions?

The ministers were still pondering the emperor's words word by word, and Pan Shangshu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, do you think the old minister is too rewarded?" General Feng's contribution is true, but after all, he is still young, how can he hold the power of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Besides, just lead the army to the grassland to kill a few unarmed old and weak women and children, this ...... It can't be considered too much credit, right? The old minister thinks that it is okay to be knighted, but it is not necessary to confer the post of general, and those soldiers who go out to fight can be rewarded according to the usual military merits. ”

When the emperor heard this, he also nodded and fell into thought, military power is no better than anything else, for the emperor, it is not only a sharp spear, but also a sharp thorn pierced in the heart, so the topic of military power has always been taboo in the court. Pan Shangshu's words also faintly reminded the emperor that it was best not to hand over the military power to such a young general, compared to seniority and loyalty, Feng Qiudao was far inferior to General Fan, who had been in charge of the Longwu Army for more than ten years.

At this time, the ministers also began to talk to each other, whispering. This kind of sensitive topic has been repeated by hundreds of civil and military officials, and I am afraid that only Pan Laoshangshu is qualified to talk to the emperor.

Except, of course, for those fledgling stunned youths.

There is exactly one of them. This person is none other than Young Master Fang.

Saying that, Young Master Fang was sleeping comfortably, but he vaguely heard the words "Turkic" and "Feng Qiudao" in his ears, and Fang Zheng immediately woke up. If nothing else, Feng Qiudao is his friend, and he should care about it. Since crossing over to the present, Fang Zheng has really only made two friends, one is a fat man, and the other is Feng Qiudao.

As a result, after he heard Pan Shangshu's words clearly, his nose was almost crooked. This old bastard is most likely to fight with Young Master Ben, since the last time he beat Pan Shangshu's son, the two have not treated each other, and this time they have calculated Feng Qiudao.

Young Master Fang was unhappy, and his stubborn temperament was committed, seeing that the ministers were talking to each other below, but no one stood up to say a few words for Feng Qiudao, and even Wei Chengde, who was known for his integrity, stroked his beard and closed his eyes and was silent. Fang Zheng snorted coldly, don't talk about you old things, this young master will come!

For who to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Fang Zheng may hesitate, but if he doesn't even dare to say a few words for his friends, Fang Zheng himself feels unrighteous. Besides, how hard the battle that Feng Qiudao led the army to fight and how much sacrifice he paid, others didn't know, but Fang Zheng was clear, how could he let unrelated people snatch the reward that Feng Qiudao deserved in order to fight for power and profit?

Seeing that the emperor was silent, as if he was a little moved by Pan Shangshu's words, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be anxious. You can't wait any longer, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opens, it will be difficult to change it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." Before Fang Zheng stood up for work, he had already begun to speak, although his voice was not loud, but there was a thunderclap above the court, and the ministers looked left and right, trying to find out the adult who spoke.

Helplessly, Fang Zheng's grade was too low, and he was ranked in the last position, and if he wanted to get out of the class, he had to squeeze out a way from the ministers standing in the front two rows, so after the emperor and the ministers heard this person speak, they hadn't seen this adult who had something to say stand up for a long time.

"Which Aiqing is talking? Why is it so unruly? The emperor waited for a long time and was impatient, so he couldn't help but say with a calm face.

Fang Zheng was even more anxious when he heard this, so he had to respond loudly: "Your Majesty, it's me, it's me!" I’mhere! In a hurry, even English popped out.

Then Fang Zheng shouted as he walked forward: "Hey, my lords, let me go, let me go, it's time for me to speak, can you make a way for me?" "The situation is as embarrassing as the crowded bus in the previous life.

I finally squeezed it out, and my forehead was sweating. Fang Zheng took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's me, uh, no, it's Weichen, Weichen has something to say." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the position where he was standing: "Hehe, I'm really embarrassed, what's that, squeeze a little ......"

The emperor glared at Fang Zheng fiercely, and said angrily: "I know, Fang Aiqing can say anything if he has anything." ”

Fang Zhengqing coughed, and said, "Weichen thinks that what Pan Shangshu just said is a big mistake!" ”

Pan Shangshu saw Fang Zheng coming out and knew that this guy must not have anything good to say, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Oh, the old man would like to hear Lord Fang's high opinion." ”

Fang Zheng said: "Pan Shangshu said that General Feng is too young to be in charge of the Longwu Army, and Weichen disagrees. Why can't you be in charge of the Dragon Martial Army at a young age? Who said that a general with troops must be old? Can't I find a young and handsome man in the Hua Dynasty to take charge alone? As the saying goes: 'Ambition is not old, and ambition is 100 years old.' 'Does a person have the ability to lead troops, whether he can serve the public, and whether he is loyal to the emperor or not, does this have anything to do with age? ”

"Also, Pan Shangshu said that General Feng led his army into the grassland just to kill a few unarmed old and weak women and children, which is not a great merit. Wechen disagreed with this sentence even more. Wei Chen would like to ask all his colleagues in the court, do you know how many people will be left when General Feng led 20,000 elite cavalry to raid the grassland this time? You know all about it, right? When I returned, there were more than 6,000 people left! In other words, 14,000 hot-blooded men in our Hua Dynasty died on the grassland. Pan Shangshu, if you don't understand some situations, Xia Guan advises you not to draw conclusions. Unarmed old and weak women and children? Hum! Joke! The Turks are so strong in battle, even the old and weak, women and children are also good at riding and shooting, and the more than 10,000 people killed in our army are a clear proof of ironclad! It can be seen from this that General Feng and the soldiers led by him paid a huge price to complete the raid mission. If this is not a big credit, why don't you ask Pan Shangshu to make a greater contribution to my Hua Dynasty and come back, how about it? ”

Pan Shangshu sneered: "Hmph, how do you know that it wasn't General Feng's improper command on the battlefield, which led to heavy casualties among the soldiers?" ”

Fang Zheng said angrily: "Then you go and command it?" Do you think that the Turks are all mud and will shatter when you touch it? Don't you know that the Turks are all soldiers, even if they are old, weak, women and children, when it comes to cavalry and archery, they are much better than the soldiers of our Chinese Dynasty? How many times has our Chinese Dynasty fought with the Turks for more than 100 years? This time General Feng led the army to raid, although there were heavy casualties, but after all, it was a victory, such a great merit, should have been rewarded, but you Pan Shangshu spoke out to suppress it, what is your intention? Wouldn't this make the soldiers of the Chinese Dynasty chill the imperial court, and make the soldiers who died on the grassland blind to death? At that time, when the emperor is the bereaved family members of these soldiers, how should he deal with himself? Aren't you trapping the emperor in a ruthless, unjust, mean and unkind way? ”

Licked his dry lips, why isn't there a tea service in this court?

Fang Zheng's eyes looked around, and saw that almost everyone in the court was looking at him dumbfounded, and the emperor stroked his beard with great interest and waited for him to continue, but Pan Shangshu was so angry that his face turned pale, and his lips and beard trembled. With the addition of fire, it is estimated that the old man will die suddenly on the spot.

Fang Zheng suddenly realized, did the buddy offend people too hard? This is not in line with my principle of keeping a low profile.

Looking at Pan Shangshu's resentful eyes again, Fang Zheng's scalp was numb, as for it, the political views are different, just like this young master digging his ancestral grave, this old man is too narrow-minded, and he will definitely not live long......

After thinking about it, I've been offended so thoroughly anyway, so let's just say a few more words, if I can him off to death, won't my buddy save a lot of trouble in the future?

So Fang Zheng continued: "Before Weichen entered the court, I heard that when the Turkic army invaded our Chinese Dynasty, Pan Shangshu once advocated peace with the Turks, and said that the Turkic army was invincible and no one could stop it. Hmph, Pan Shangshu has a good calculation! If the Turks died in our Hua Dynasty, Pan Shangshu persuaded the emperor to give up resistance, and he was naturally a great hero in the hearts of the Turks. If the Turks retreated, this would be the result of Pan Shangshu's peace negotiation, and he would naturally be a great hero in the emperor's heart. Nowadays, there are not many things to please the two ends, Pan Shangshu is aware of current affairs, the Turks are afraid of them like tigers when they come, and they are despised like soil after the Turks are defeated, Pan Shangshu is so exquisite as an official, it is really the blessing of my Chinese Dynasty, hehe. ”

Looking left and right, Fang Zheng licked his dry lips again, he really wanted to drink water......

I'm sorry, but that's all for now. When I came back from the party, I was drunk, and my classmates pinched my nose and poured me wine, but I was righteously refused, and I told them, "I'll have to update it later." "That's how I got out, look, buddy has a good character, right? With such a good character, I think you should vote for a few more recommendations......
