Chapter 33: The Court Controversy (3)
Above the Taiji Hall, near the Nine Dragons Jade Platform, an old man who had been closing his eyes and recuperating suddenly stood up, looking at the Holy Martial Hou with a grim expression.
Da Sikong - Wang Yun
The head of the Wenchen of the Tang Dynasty! His identity is above the three princes, and even in the hearts of the scholars and Confucian scholars, it is only a toast in the temple.
Da Sikong's words were like the cold wind of winter, blowing the people in the entire hall like cicadas, even the generals didn't dare to speak casually, and even the emperor Wuhou changed his face slightly.
Da Sikong was an important minister of the former emperor, and he has always been highly respected among the courtiers, and even the current emperor has made three points of courtesy to him. The protΓ©gΓ©s are even more widely spread all over the world, and the influence of the DPRK and China is very great. In the early years, in front of the former emperor, there were only a few words, so the first emperor changed his mind and ordered Shengwu to wait for Yongzhen Tongguan and not to step out for life.
Now that the two meet again after a hundred years, I am afraid that a dispute is inevitable.
"Humph!"
Shengwu Hou snorted coldly, even if the other party was a highly respected Da Sikong of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't have the slightest good face to the other party, not to mention that there was a feud between the two. The system of the Tuntian Army is the foundation of the Tang Army, and there is no room for half a difference. There are also factional disputes in the Tang army, but no matter who it is, they dare not pay attention to the Tuntian army. This will cause the whole army to repulse!
Today's situation in the court is no longer a civil and military dispute, a struggle for power, the Tuntian Army policy is the cornerstone of the Tang Army, and no one can be contaminated!
"You are an old immortal, don't you disdain to practice? How are you still alive. If you live, you live, why do you still live more and more backwards. The Tuntian Army system was formulated by Taizu, and it is the foundation of our Tang Dynasty, and there is no room for mistakes. It's really a handful of years to live to a dog. β
Contrary to the expectations of everyone in the hall, Saint Wuhou's eyes emitted a terrifying cold glow, looked at Lao Sikong, and suddenly spoke. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
As he spoke, Saint Wu Hou took a slight step towards the position of the old Sikong.
"Third brother!"
The Emperor Martial King on the side changed his expression greatly, and he invisibly stopped the Holy Martial Candidate. Lao Sikong's identity is not trivial, his influence is extremely great, and the Holy Martial Hou has an old grudge against him, and under the anger, it is difficult to guarantee that the Holy Martial Hou will not do anything out of the ordinary.
"Presumptuous! Even if the emperor is reincarnated, he will not speak to the old man like this! You're simply lawless! β
Da Sikong was furious, and his angry voice buzzed in the Taiji Hall.
There are very few people who dare to confront Lao Sikong in the court like this, and almost all the courtiers who offend Da Sikong have been cleared out of the Eastern Capital. Even Taifu stayed away from the Eastern Capital, to a large extent, because he offended the old Sikong in front of him.
But there was one thing that the courtiers who were present never knew.
Shengwu Hou has never taken the old Sikong seriously, and even in his eyes, this old Sikong is not as pleasing to the eye as the dog in front of his mansion.
In the early years, because of the Tongguan incident, Lao Sikong once said like His Majesty, abolished his title, entered the Zongren Mansion, and never pardoned. Including himself, he has been guarding Tongguan for a long time for the past 200 years, and he must not take half a step, which is also the handwriting of this person in front of him.
"Who are you, the emperor. The first emperor has been in the dragon for hundreds of years, do you also want to learn from Shangguan Qi and accompany the first emperor. Relying on the old and selling the old in the court all day long, the festival makes the system exactly what you deceive the Holy Hearing, so that it can pass so smoothly,! β
Shengwu Hou looked at Lao Sikong and said sharply.
"Boom!"
Hearing Saint Wu Hou's words, the entire hall was shaken. Behind the system of the festival is the prince's push, and the first person who dares to oppose this system in the Taiji Hall is the holy warrior in front of him.
What does he want to do? Against the Prince? Against the Emperor of People? At this moment, there was silence in the hall.
"Li Chengyu, you, you are presumptuous! I...... I ......"
Lao Sikong trembled with anger at Sheng Wuhou's words, even the white beard on his chest trembled sharply, and his lips trembled constantly. has been a high-ranking lord and admired all his life, when has he ever been so insulted. , where can I stand it. For a while, he didn't have the right words to refute it, and in a hurry, he directly said the name of the holy martial artist.
"Am I presumptuous? I am the third prince of the first emperor, my identity is a hundred times more noble than yours, how can you call my name! It seems that you have forgotten your identity now in the court! β
Saint Wu Hou snorted coldly and forced two steps towards the position of the old Sikong.
Perhaps because the Holy Warrior Hou was far away from the court, these current courtiers didn't know much about the Holy Warrior Candidate. As everyone knows, in the court back then, the Shengwu Hou of the previous year could be said to be righteous and resolute, and his temper was also very hot.
As a border general, the momentum of the battlefield killing on the battlefield is by no means comparable to any military general in the court. When the Holy Warrior Hou was angry, those eyes were like lightning, and it was extremely terrifying.
One of the courtiers was intimidated by the gaze of the Holy Warrior, and they all involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Sacred Warrior ......"
Above the Nine Dragons Jade Steps, Gao Lishi, the personal eunuch of the Human Emperor, looked at this scene and frowned imperceptibly. Shengwu Hou mentioned the former emperor many times, and it seemed that he was comparing the former emperor with the current human emperor, which was not good information.
Gao Lishi subconsciously glanced at the human emperor behind the bead curtain, and there was no breath coming out behind the bead curtain, and he had no intention of stopping it.
Old Sikong was so angry that he couldn't speak at this time, and he stood in place trembling all over his body. However, the anger in Saint Wu Hou's heart was far more fierce than his.
"The soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the frontier every year, for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty, without the reserve system of the Tuntian Army, what kind of serious consequences will it lead, do you Wenchen know?!"
"During the Warring States Period in ancient times, the Qin State killed the 400,000 troops of the Zhao State in one fell swoop, resulting in the Zhao State having no reserve troops, and the national strength gradually declined, and was finally destroyed by the Qin State. Then, in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, it was the same situation, in the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led the princes to kill the 200,000 troops of the Qin State. After the Three Kingdoms period, the monarch of Shu was defeated in Yiling, and if there was no reserve army to replenish in time, he would defend the White Emperor City. I am afraid that history will have to be rewritten. β
"The armies of all dynasties and dynasties, if they win all battles, they can't see any problems, but once they are defeated and have no reserve troops, they will immediately face the foundation of shaking the country. Historically, because there was no reserve army system, there were few examples of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the nation after a major defeat. It was precisely because of this that Emperor Taizu saw the lessons brought by the previous dynasties that he set up the system of the Tuntian Army, which was idle for the peasants, so as to ensure the food and salary of the troops in various places as much as possible, and to replenish the army as soon as possible to ensure that the combat strength of the defenders of the frontier towns was not affected. And you want to abolish the Tuntian military system today, this kind of self-cutting of hands and feet, self-abolition of martial arts, is simply a foolish move! β
The voice of the Holy Martial Hou was deafening, shaking everyone in the Taiji Hall. His eyes were blood-red and he looked furious! Although he was in a state of rage, what Saint Wuhou said was reasonable, and the events he quoted were all real things that happened in history. Even Shangguan Wu on the side had to admit that the words of the Holy Martial Artist were not unreasonable.
ββ¦β¦ A gentleman should be prepared for danger in times of peace, dismantle the Tuntian army, and shake the frontier! Wang Yun, I think you're really confused!. Open your dog's eyes and take a good look at Datang's surroundings, which one is not eyeing Datang, and you support such a mediocre proposal. I can't recognize where the enemy is when I'm so old, and I'm not as good as that watchdog in my house!! β
Bang!
The words of the Holy Martial Artist were like knives, and the last sentence was even more like summer thunder, which shook the old Sikong in front of him, and even took a few steps back, almost unable to stand on his feet.
"Li Chengyu, you, you dare to ......, you dare to scold me...... Not even a dog!! β
Lao Sikong's face turned pale, and he was not even as good as a dog by the last sentence of Shengwu Hou. He was so angry that his whole body was floating and he almost fainted.
"Sikong-sama!"
"Sikong-sama!"
The Manchu Dynasty Wenchen was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed up, and several Wenchen, who were closer to Lao Sikong, hurriedly supported Lao Sikong to stabilize him.
