Chapter 331: Court Debate (II)

Although Li Longji, who was sitting on the throne, fell into contemplation, but at this moment the ministers under the scene were hot, in a short moment, the entire hall was divided into three factions, one faction was naturally headed by Li Linfu, the first assistant prime minister, advocating that the army should be sent to support Jiannan Dao immediately, advocating the liberation of Jiannan Dao, and the other faction naturally avoided talking about the rescue of a small number of officials led by the prince, but showed that if King Shou could not hold it, it should be punished according to law!

Of course, there are a lot of officials, neither stated that they should be punished according to law nor clearly supported the views of Li Linfu and others, it is obvious that both sides do not support it, and the officials who can be ranked in the main hall at this moment are all called for wind and rain, and their perennial officialdom career has made them well versed in the golden mean, among which the typical representative is Yang Guozhong, who is now the emperor and leader of more than ten envoys.

Yang Guozhong was originally born in Jiannan, and many officials in Jiannan Province today are inextricably linked to Yang Guozhong, if they are punished because of the defeat of King Shou, then these officials of Jiannan Province who are inextricably linked with them will definitely be affected, and Yang Guozhong, who has interests related to these people, naturally does not want to see this kind of scene happen.

But if he opened his mouth to intercede at this moment, although King Shou overthrew Xian Yu Zhongtong last time for a reason, there was undoubtedly a knot in the heart of Yang Guozhong, who has always been eager to repay him, and with this matter, Yang Guozhong naturally didn't want to open his mouth to help King Shou exonerate.

And more importantly, at this moment, no one in the hall knows that Li Linfu, who is standing in the first place, is the original Shouwang party, in other words, don't look at how Li Linfu is calling for wind and rain above the court at the moment, but in the end, there is always one person standing behind him, that is, His Royal Highness Shouwang, who was exiled to the border and took over as the envoy of Jiannan Province a few months ago.

If he joins the camp of excusing King Shou at this moment, without knowing people, I am afraid that he will mistakenly think that he has not left Li Linfu's camp at all, and when the time comes, I am afraid that his efforts in the past year will be ruined, which is another reason why Yang Guozhong is reluctant to open his mouth to exonerate King Shou.

As for not opening his mouth to help the prince's party, although the prince's party is now rising, it is naturally weaker in the face of the behemoth of the first and auxiliary prime minister Li Linfu, and Yang Guozhong, who is good at calculation, will naturally not risk offending King Shou and the prime minister to help the prince!

And when he was originally among the princes under Li Linfu, in order to win Li Linfu's favor and help King Shou compete for the crown prince, Yang Guozhong did not offend the current prince, even if Yang Guozhong opened his mouth to help the prince at this moment, I am afraid that the prince will not appreciate it!

After all, the two sides have already formed a relationship, and they want to shake hands and make peace, unless one party bows their heads first, and Yang Guozhong, who is now the spokesperson of the Yang family, is naturally not a person who bows his head!

However, although Yang Guozhong wanted to stay out of the matter, the majestic man who was high up at this moment saw Yang Guozhong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke: "What is Guozhong's opinion on this matter?" ”

Because the majestic man on the throne spoke, the originally noisy hall became silent at this moment.

Regarding the man's questioning, Yang Guozhong naturally did not dare to slack off, walked out of the queue of ministers, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no opinion on this, no matter what His Majesty does, Weichen will support it!" ”

Although saying this is equivalent to not saying it, but looking at the majestic face of the man on the throne of the high seat at this moment, Yang Guozhong already knew that he was just right.

Turning his head to look at Li Linfu who didn't say a word in front of him, the majestic man naturally knew that although the old man in white didn't speak much just now, every word made many people in the prince's party speechless, and what the majestic man appreciated was the attitude of the old man in white who never concealed it.

Since he decided to support the eighteenth Langshou King to seize the throne, the old man in white in front of him has never hidden his intentions, Li Longji, who has ruled the world for decades, appreciates that the old man in white in front of him has never been smart in front of himself and does not play small actions.

The old man in white opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, it is an indisputable fact that the soldiers of Jiannan are weak, and moreover, over the years, the military center of my Tang Dynasty has always been biased towards the northeast and northwest, and it is inevitable that Lingnan and Jiannan Dao will be neglected, and Jiannan Dao will resist Tubo in the west and Fu Nanzhao in the south, and the people of all ethnic groups in Shu will live together and it is not easy to control, so it is necessary to spend a lot of resident soldiers and horses in Jiannan Dao, so that there are very few soldiers and horses in Jiannan Dao that can be used to resist the attack of Tubo! ”

"Weichen suggests that Your Majesty may wish to allow Jiannan Dao to add five weapons workshops, broadcast money, food and military expenses, and enhance the military strength of Jiannan Dao, so that Jiannan Dao can not only truly grow up to serve as the gateway to the west of the capital division, but also become an unbreakable line of defense!"

Li Linfu's cleverness lies in the fact that he did not raise the sensitive topic of increasing the number of permanent soldiers and horses in Jiannan Province, but only mentioned some relatively minor but indispensable things for the long-term development of the Jiannan Province army, so that without touching the bottom line in the hearts of the majestic men above the throne, his own suggestions may be adopted.

Sure enough, I originally thought that Li Linfu would definitely ask for an increase in the number of regular military quotas in Jiannan Dao, but who would have thought that he would just put forward these relatively minor topics, frowning and thinking for a moment, before the majestic man spoke: "Lin Fu is reasonable, but everything is too much, my Tang Empire has always been extremely strict with weapons control, this time I will use Lin Fu's words to allow Jiannan Dao to add five weapons workshops, allocate 100,000 yuan of money, and 100,000 deniers of grain, in order to use military expenses and boost the morale of the whole army, if you don't win again, I will deal with the relevant officials of Jiannan Province in accordance with the law! ”

In addition, looking at a middle-aged man behind Li Linfu, the majestic man above the throne spoke again: "During this period, the military department must also make relevant preparations, formulate a good battle strategy, and gather people and horses. ”

Although the man on the throne did not open the dynasty for a long time, he was extremely authoritative among the ministers, and seeing that the majestic man had already spoken, everyone naturally did not dare to disagree.

The crown prince, who was also dressed in bright yellow brocade at the head of the princes on the other side, saw that it was a foregone conclusion, and naturally did not want the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to disappear like this, so he immediately said: "Father, ・・・・・・ emperor?" “

But without giving the prince a chance to continue, the man on the throne glanced at the prince and said undoubtedly: "The prince put away your careful thoughts, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and no one is allowed to discuss it again!" ”

Hearing that the father and emperor on the seat actually opened his mouth to reprimand him, Li Heng's face was defeated for a while, and he was shocked in his heart, until this moment, he finally revealed his identity. (To be continued.) )
