Yang Wenyuan was also cold-eyed and did not argue too much with Shengwu Hou. Today's Shengwu Hou is not what it used to be, and everyone only learned afterwards that this time His Majesty personally transferred the Shengwu Hou to the Eastern Capital. And there was no punishment for killing Shangguan Qi before going to the mausoleum that day. It can be seen the weight of grace.

The human emperor has not yet gone to the court, and the eyes of the holy martial artist are constantly scanning the Taiji Palace. But in today's court, there are quite a lot of faces who are unfamiliar with the Holy Warriors. The heirs of the twenty-four important ministers of the Lingyan Pavilion are probably no longer in the court. Although the team left by the first emperor at the beginning, they have long since aged with age.

And most of the faces in the court today are around thirty or forty years old. In the eyes of Saint Wu Hou, he was already quite young. His gaze lingered on these people for a moment, and the Saint Martial Hou quickly moved away.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, outside the door of the hall, a familiar figure attracted the attention of the Holy Warrior Hou, and a long figure crossed the threshold of the Taiji Palace. It seems that the mind is heavy, and the mind does not belong. And the cultivation that came out of that person's body was not weaker than his own, and the power of the superior person who had been precipitated over the years was as empty as the zirconium sun.

"What's wrong?"

Saint Wu Hou approached and asked in a deep voice.

"Why are you here today? The Confucian ministers are discussing the dismantling of the Tuntian army in each county, do you know about this? ”

The Emperor Martial King tightened his sword eyebrows and looked at this holy martial artist.

"Hiss~! What the! These guys are crazy! ”

Saint Wu Houhuo's face changed, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a voice like a male duck's voice

|“ Your Majesty has arrived! ”

At the same time, a bell rang, a majestic and mighty, vast sea of powerful breath suddenly came out of thin air, like a tide shrouded the entire Taiji Palace, just in the next moment, a golden figure in the eyes of everyone in the hall appeared from the dragon road, stepped into the curtain of the bead curtain, and then sat down in the dragon chair on the Taiji Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"

All the ministers, civil and military officials all bowed down and bowed respectfully, and the sound of the mountain echoed in the main hall.

"Zhu Qing has something to do, and he has nothing to retreat from!"

A chubby, smiling eunuch appeared in front of the curtains, and a duck-like voice rang from every corner of the hall. It is the personal eunuch of the Tang Dynasty Emperor - Gao Lishi

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do......"

As soon as Gao Lishi's voice fell, a Wenchen, holding an elephant wat in his hand, strode out of the ranks. He bowed his head and said.

"Your Majesty, the first battle in Northern Xinjiang a year ago greatly boosted my Tang Tianwei. The barbarians from all directions came up one after another to play the table. expressed their willingness to surrender to our Tang Dynasty Emperor, and Southern Chu and the barbarian Tubo were even more willing to reduce their own troops to show their attitude. And recently sent envoys to the Eastern Capital, willing to sign an alliance, and exchange trade, willing to reopen the desert Silk Road. On the occasion of stability, the ministers played: dismantle the tuntian army in the prefectures and county capitals, so as to reduce the taxes of the people and the expenses of the state treasury. The military degree of Tuntian over the years will be transferred to the Silk Road, and the benefits will be brought to my Datang! ”

Rumble!

As soon as this remark came out. The entire hall immediately exploded, and all the generals looked at the Confucian minister with angry eyes!

Disarmament!

This is the first time since the founding of Datang!

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also against it!"

"Ridiculous! Dismantling the Tuntian Army, is this the method that you Confucian scholars came up with!? Once there is a war at the border, where can the court add new troops to the various capitals! Do you expect you Confucian ministers who can only speak big words to go into battle and kill the enemy!? ”

"Without soldiers, what will the frontier use to defend against foreign enemies! Damn it! Cheng Tian knew that it was aimed at our generals, if it were not for our generals who were desperately fighting on the battlefield, how could Datang have today's stability! ”

……

In the main hall, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and all the generals of the military were all angry, and even the eyes of the brave warriors who were usually not eye-to-eye with the emperor and the king revealed a burst of anger!

"Could it be that without the Tuntian Army, the four major protectorates would not be able to guard the frontier? If this is the case, then the minister must impeach the four protectors here! Join them for a crime of ineffective management of the army and dereliction of duty! ”

Soon another Confucian scholar came out of the train and scolded loudly.

"Wenchen governs the country, and military generals guard the border, which has been the case since ancient times. If you generals are capable, then you will rule the country! We, the ministers, immediately returned to our hometowns. But since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been wars every year, the people's power has been exhausted, and the treasury is empty. Now that the wastelands are willing to surrender, they are friendly with our Tang Dynasty, and they are willing to reopen the Silk Road, which has been opened to trade. There will be no more war in the famine, and the troops of the four major protectorates are completely sufficient, so why bother to allocate a lot of money every year to support the Tuntian army, which has no much effect? With such a good opportunity, why not cultivate people's livelihood and enhance the national strength of Datang! ”

One of the imperial historians stepped out and echoed loudly.

Then more and more Wenchen stood up and echoed it.

The battlefield and the court are completely two worlds, and on the battlefield, those powerless civil servants can hardly play a role, and even a small soldier is no match for them. But above the court, force is useless at all, and a military general can't take the slightest advantage here in Wenchen.

On the main hall, the Holy Warrior Hou stood in front of the military general train, looking at these Confucian ministers and imperial historians, they attacked the military generals one after another, the pupils in their eyes slowly contracted, and their eyes became more and more cold.

Although the northern Rongdi has retreated and there is no threat for the time being, the Anbei Protectorate has gradually repaired the northern defense line. But this does not mean that there will be no more fighting in northern Xinjiang. As the previous imperial history said, the faminerals were willing to sign an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and submit to the Tang Dynasty. But in the eyes of the Holy Warrior, that covenant was not even as good as toilet paper.

The surrender of the wilderness is entirely because of the strong military strength of the Tang Dynasty. A tiger in the mountains and forests will of course make all beasts submit. But what if it's a tiger with no claws? Will the beasts still submit to his majesty?

There are so many capital guards in the border provinces of the Tang Dynasty, once a war occurs, you can quickly draw the elite from the Tuntian army in various places, supplement it, and restore its own strength, but if the reserve Tuntian army is withdrawn, then the war breaks out, and the capital guards cannot be replenished in time, which will bring a great crisis. It will even threaten the foundation of Datang, and it is simply a fool to say that the person who dismantles the Tuntian Army will be dismantled! It's not as good as being stupid!

The controversy between the two factions in the court became more and more intense, and just when all the generals were about to be attacked by these imperial historians and ministers, a loud voice sounded in the hall.

"Your Majesty! Ministers are against! ”

Hearing this voice, there was a sudden dead silence above the huge hall, all the arguments disappeared in an instant, and a famous military general looked in the direction of the holy martial arts,

"Holy Warrior!"

In the military generals group of the Tang Dynasty, the influence of the four martial marquis is supreme. And the status of the Holy Warrior in the army is even more unquestionable. As a descendant of the royal family, he is also the protector of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate. Datang Heavy Pass, the keeper of Tongguan. All this glory is not because he is the son of the emperor, but because he relies on the battles of life and death on the battlefield again and again. It has only become of today's status step by step.

"Lord Shengwuhou, what do you mean by this? Am I not right? ”

At this moment, the imperial history who proposed it first looked at the holy martial artist. Above the main hall, the eyes of the Confucian ministers and the imperial history also fell on the body of the holy martial artist. The atmosphere of the entire hall also became more subtle.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the proposal to abolish the Tuntian Army is without merit, and the person who said these words is simply a waste, and the minister proposes to deprive this person of his official position and title, and the court will never hire him!"

Shengwu Hou didn't look at the group of Confucian ministers, but looked at the human emperor behind the bead curtain,

"Holy Warrior! The annual wars in the midst of various wilderness have caused a great burden to the people of the Tang Dynasty, do you still want to continue? Or rather, you want to support your own troops! ”

The Imperial Historian said excitedly, completely enraged by Saint Wu Hou's words.

"Oh? Then what do you mean that the soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot to die on the border, not to protect their families and defend the country, but to let us generals? For the status of our generals? ”

Saint Wu Hou turned his head and glanced at the imperial historian faintly, his eyes were extremely cold. He didn't hide his killing intent at all.

Looking at the eyes of the Dao Saint Martial Candidate, that Imperial Shi entered the cold cellar and was suddenly speechless.

"Your Majesty! The minister impeached these Confucian ministers who brought disaster to the country and the people, should all be dismissed, sent to Dali Temple, and strictly interrogated, the minister suspects that these people are thieves who secretly collaborate with the enemy country and endanger the safety of my Tang Dynasty! ”

Saint Wu Hou said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, the Confucian scholars and ministers who filled the hall were in an uproar. I was extremely dissatisfied with the almost insulting words of Shengwu Hou!

"Holy Martial Waiting for you to be presumptuous! It is the rule of the past dynasties to admonish the officials, and there was a decree during the reign of Taizu Taizong: the words of the officials will not be investigated. During the reign of Taizong, Zheng Guogong had spoken out many times, but Taizong never refuted half a sentence. And today you want to deprive us of our official positions and frame us as a spy of the enemy! This is to block the way of speech, blind the Holy Hearing, and bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty, the old minister impeached the holy military candidate, acted boldly and recklessly, blocked the way of speech, and supported the army with self-respect. Violating the emperor's last order that he should not step out of Tongguan for life. The minister asked His Majesty to deprive him of the title of Marquis of Shengwu Houwu, take back his royal status, and demote him to a commoner. or exile to Lingnan, or enter the Zongren Mansion, and their descendants will never be hired! ”

Suddenly, an old voice sounded in the Taiji Hall.
