Text Section 231 Lying about military information
In the school field, the ministers were clamoring to denounce the great rebellion of the capital. Li Jianshan's bottomless shout was suddenly drowned in the waves.
A staff member who was on guard in the field immediately shouted when he saw someone trespassing on the school grounds.
"Who is so bold, come on, take it for me!"
More than a dozen guards rushed over and pressed Li Jianshan to the ground without saying a word. Li Jianshan didn't dare to resist, but just shouted.
"Let go of me, urgent military affairs at the border, red feathers."
When the general heard the red feather, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait, let him go." ”
Li Jianshan stood up and stretched out his hand to take out a file with a red feather wrapped around it. This is the most urgent military information in military affairs, and no one should delay it.
"In Li Jianshan, the capital of Xiali, you get out of the way, I want to face the saint." Li Jianshan said in a deep voice.
The general frowned and glanced at the feather file in Li Jianshan's hand, "Your Excellency, wait a minute, the last general will go to report." ”
After the general finished speaking, he walked quickly through the crowd and ran towards Liu Shuguang, who was guarding under the high platform. The general whispered a few words in Liu Shuguang's ear, Liu Shuguang was stunned, and glanced at Li Jianshan from afar.
Liu Shuguang turned around and walked up to the high platform, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jianshan of the capital city has arrived. ”
Delong had just seen someone enter the school yard, but he was far away and couldn't see who it was. Delong wanted to reprimand Liu Shuguang afterwards, but he didn't expect Li Jianshan to arrive. When he was in Lidu City, Li Jianshan treated him well. Delong originally wanted to win over Li Jianshan, but later saw Li Jianshan pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he excluded him.
The ministers who were discussing saw Emperor Delong looking behind them, and they all stopped denouncing and also looked at Li Jianshan. In front of everyone's eyes, Li Jianshan bowed his hand to the ministers with a weak heart.
Delon snorted coldly, "Bring him here." ”
"No!" Liu Shuguang agreed, turned around and ran towards Li Jianshan.
After a while, Li Jianshan followed Liu Shuguang to the front of the stage, knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Minister~ Li Jianshan, meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"Hmph, do you still know that I am long live? For such an important matter in the world, you dare to enter after me. Well, it seems that I am not worthy of letting you bow down in the capital. Delon sneered.
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare. There is a major reason why the minister is late, please report it. ”
"Don't dare? Even if I don't blame you for being late, don't you see my will? Or is it that Duan Lang Shangguan and that Tai Mingyue no longer take my will into account. ”
"No, no, Your Majesty, please report to your ministers. Just as General Duan and others were preparing to go to Beijing, the Western Vietnamese army suddenly attacked. In the rush of Landu City, the city was almost lost. Helplessly, Duan Lang and the military advisor Mingyue personally led the army to Landu City. Your Majesty, the civil and military ministers of the Western Theater of Operations, etc., will never dare to offend Tianwei. ”
"What? West Vietnam raised troops to attack again? Delon stood up suddenly.
When the ministers heard this, they were in an uproar. The war of Xining Hou has just been settled, and Xiyue actually attacked again, could it be that Daxia really committed the robbery of swords.
"Such a big thing, the minister doesn't dare to say anything." Li Jianshan said stubbornly.
Delong looked at Zhang Zhao with sharp eyes, such an important military matter, he wondered why the Heavenly Prison Court did not have a secret report.
Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Li Jianshan's gossip to confuse the public. The secret station of the Jiantian Courtyard has always paid attention to the border gates, and if there is a war, it will definitely be reported as soon as possible. ”
Delong was stunned in his heart, but he believed that Zhang Zhao would not dare to hide it, "Li Jianshan, do you know that you lied about the military situation and connected the nine clans." ”
"Back to Your Majesty, of course the minister knows."
When Delong heard this, his eyes looked at Zhang Zhao again, "Zhang Zhao, is there any news from Lidu City recently?" ”
"This~!" Zhang Zhao hesitated.
"Say!" Delon said angrily.
Zhang Zhao hurriedly knelt down, "Back to Your Majesty, the secret station of Lidu City, there has been no secret report for sixteen or seventeen days. ”
"What? Then why didn't ~ tell me earlier. Delong was so angry that he really wanted to scold.
"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister has sent someone to Lidu City urgently to inquire about this matter. But the minister felt that the secret station of the Jiantian Courtyard was likely to ~ have been purged by the Lidu City. After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, his eyes looked at Li Jianshan viciously.
When Delong heard this, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Li Jianshan, you come and tell me what's going on." ”
Li Jianshan had a stupid expression, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister~ I don't know that there is a secret station in the capital city and the prison courtyard. What's more, the minister had already left Lidu City more than ten days ago and was on his way to Kyoto. The affairs of the Heavenly Prison Courtyard, how can the ministers know about it? ”
"You!" Delong was so angry that he almost scolded out his dirty mouth, but in front of the ministers, Li Jianshan said that he was not easy to punish for the crime. Delon suppressed his anger and asked.
"Then I ask you, how is the battle situation in Landu City?"
"Your Majesty rest assured, I believe that General Duan will personally go out, and it will not take half a month to beat the Xiyue rebels back to the Two Realms Mountain."
When Delong heard this, his nose was not almost crooked, and he cooperated with the West Vietnam to attack, but he did not let Duan Lang participate in the world's politics. And the timing is so accurate, it's like he made a holy decree. Delong was not stupid, of course he heard that this was just Duan Lang's excuse. But before there is no evidence, he really can't deal with Duan Lang's crimes.
Delong secretly gritted his teeth, "Li Jianshan, I will ask you again, even if Duan Lang and Mingyue went to Landu City, why didn't Shangguan Xuanwu come." Does he really feel equal to me? ”
Delong led the topic to Shangguan Xuanwu, and said in his heart, I see if you have any other excuses.
Li Jianshan clenched his fists, "Back to Your Majesty, Landu City suffered heavy losses because of its hasty response. Lord Shangguan showed compassion for the soldiers and went to Landu City on behalf of His Majesty to pray for the blessings of the soldiers. Lord Shangguan is a civil minister, but he is willing to risk the flames of war regardless of life and death, and this is a role model for us. ”
Delong said in his heart that your mother is big, does Lao Tzu use him to represent, but Shangguan Xuanwu can even represent the gods, and Delong has nothing to refute. The ministers talked a lot, not knowing whether this war was real or not.
Fan Cheng knew it in his heart, and saw the opportunity to hurry up, "Your Majesty, as a servant of the ministry, was originally very angry at the crime of Duan Lang and others in the capital city of contempt for the king. But since it is a major military situation, the minister feels that it is excusable. ”
Delong's face was super dark, and he could have convicted the capital city of disrespect today. But Li Jianshan's appearance completely mixed up his good deeds. Moreover, the other party's excuse is very sufficient, even if someone is sent to verify it immediately, it will take a month to go back and forth. I can't, let all the courtiers of the world stay in Kyoto.
Xiangguo Wu Guangguang looked at Li Jianshan and asked suspiciously, "Lord Li, since it is an urgent report of the war, why don't you send someone to report to the military department for 800 miles?" For such a major event, how can you let this Fu Yin take it with you? ”
Li Jianshan turned around and bowed, "Lord Xiangguo, Lidu City has already sent someone to deliver an urgent report, but for some reason, the military department has not received a receipt so far. ”
Li Jianshan said, looking at He Lianjia, "Lord He, has your military department received the news?" ”
He Lianjia rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, you kid, don't pull me in, okay. He Lianjia knew very well in his heart that if there was a war at the border pass, he would report it quickly in three different ways. The War Department has not received any urgent mail so far, which can only show that the war is fraudulent. However, this kind of thing is also very troublesome to investigate, and it is not possible to convict in a moment. In He Lianjia's view, Duan Lang was simply using the war as an excuse. Anyway, Lidu City is his one-third of an acre, and even if it is verified, it may not be possible to find out whether it is true or false.
"Didn't hear anything." After He Lianjia finished speaking, he simply lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Li Jianshan.
Li Jianshan said as if surprised, "It seems that the messenger of my capital city must have been intercepted and killed by bandits." Along the way, even my Fu Yin has encountered several bandits, so it is too late. ”
Delong clenched his teeth, it's still too late, do you still want to force your face, follow Shangguan Xuanwu and become a scoundrel one by one.
Delong rubbed his forehead and said angrily, "You stand down for the time being, Zhang Zhao, and quickly send someone to check on this matter." ”
"Obey." Li Jianshan and Zhang Zhao replied at the same time.
Fan Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Delong didn't take Li Jianshan on the spot. Anyway, as soon as the discussion is over, let him go quickly. Looking at Delong's posture, he is already incompatible with the capital city, and Li Jianshan will have an accident sooner or later if he stays in Kyoto.
Delon didn't want to listen to any more discussions, but he still had to pretend to listen. Delong pretended to be smiling, vigorously commended the soldiers of the Southern Theater, and canonized Ma Ruzheng, Yan Facheng and others.
Li Jianshan was mixed in the crowd, and he also sweated for the performance just now. This lie doesn't stand up to scrutiny, but it buys him time. The most important thing is that it can block the excuse of the courtiers to attack the capital city. Even if DeLong was going to attack, he would have to find a new reason for sending troops. According to Tantai Mingyue, that is, let everyone in the world know that their former capital city is a victim of suppression, not an arrogant minister who bullies the emperor.
Originally, the world was vigorously discussing politics, and Delong was uncomfortable because he was uncomfortable, and Wu Guangguang of Xiangguo did it for him. Back in the palace, Delong angrily threw a few jade cups in a row. Manager Liu and the others didn't dare to come out one by one, for fear of setting themselves on fire.
"Go, summon Zhang Zhao into the palace. In addition, I sent someone to give me a good look at that Li Jianshan, and I was not allowed to leave Beijing without my will. Delon commanded with a dark face.
On campus, after noon, the morning's deliberations came to an end. Wu Guangguang announced that the courtiers would take a temporary rest and continue to discuss politics in the afternoon.
He Lianjia quietly walked up to Li Jianshan, lowered his voice and said, "Jianshan, I said that you kid is really daring. Lie about the military situation, and see how you end up when the time comes. ”
Li Jianshan glanced left and right, and also lowered his voice and said, "Lao He, whether it is a lie or not, it is not your military department that has the final say." If you still miss the old love, just carry some for me in the capital. Delong summoned the ministers to come to Beijing, you Lao He won't understand what it means. ”
He Lianjia was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "The rise of the capital city is too rapid, not only Emperor Delong, but even some ministers are uneasy. Unless Duan Lang can take the initiative to release the military power, it will be difficult to untie this knot. ”
"If you release the military power, can you die a good death?" Li Jianshan sneered.
He Lianjia was stunned for a moment and nodded bitterly. Li Jianshan is right, if the military power is released, I am afraid that the end will be even worse. Not to mention that he will be suppressed by the court, Yu Ban Yu and the remnants of the Huai Daren's Investigation and Defense Division will not let go of Duan Lang, who has no military power to protect him. It is even said that the assassins of Western Vietnam also want to avenge Han Pingzi.
Li Jianshan did not go to the Heavenly Master Hall to stay, but lived in the official post house. He knew that he had been secretly monitored, so he simply lived in the official post house to reassure Delong. Anyway, this world discussion is a matter of a few days, and he can't be innocently detained in Kyoto.
Compared with three years ago, no one from Li Jianshan's residence came to visit. Even when Li Jianshan went to visit the Kyoto officials, these people avoided them under the pretext of excuses. Li Jianshan is not angry, it is your business whether you see it or not, and you have to go if you should go.
In the palace, Emperor Delong was not upset about the tea and dinner for the past two days. finally found an excuse to force Duan Lang to come to Beijing, but he was blocked by a battle report. The more this happened, the more DeLong felt that he could no longer tolerate it. Lidu City has hoarded a large amount of war preparation materials, if it is not completely eradicated while it is still in its infancy, once Duan Lang is allowed to take a solid foundation, it will be even more difficult to shake. Now Ma Ruzheng's soldiers and horses are strong, their morale is strong, and the soldiers who have experienced the war are experienced, which is an excellent opportunity to crush the capital. However, DeLong couldn't find an excuse to do it.
Seeing that the world's politics were coming to an end, Delong still hadn't figured out how to target Lidu City. Just when Delong was sullen, the manager Liu He walked in gently.
"Master, Prince Hong asks to see you."
Delon raised his eyelids and said rather tiredly, "Xuan." ”
After a while, Prince Hong walked in tremblingly on crutches.
"Old minister~ knock to see Your Majesty."
"Uncle is flat, come here, give him a seat." In the face of this aging uncle, Delong still respects him very much.
Seeing Prince Hong sit down, Delong asked respectfully, "Uncle, you are not cultivating at home, do you have something important to do when you come to Jing Pavilion?" ”
Prince Hong gasped twice, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, have you been working hard for the capital city for the past two days?" ”
Delong sighed slightly, "It's still my uncle who knows what I mean, and I'm worried that it will be difficult to clean up if it goes on like this." ”
Prince Hong's hair turned white, and he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, as an emperor, you can endure the accusations of vain ministers, and you can accept the repentance of greedy ministers, but you can't bear it only for the ministers who endanger the society and society." The ancestors of my Zhao family fought hard with blood and sweat will never be allowed to be touched by foreign surnames. That Duan Lang is different from Zhao Li, the Marquis of Xining, after all, my royal bloodline. If Duan Lang supports the army and stands on his own, this is a thief who steals the country. ”
"The words of my uncle are exactly what I want. As the Emperor of Great Xia, I would rather accept foreign invasions than see the territory stolen by thieves. However, I have to give the world a reason. After all, Duan Lang fought in a bloody battle for my Great Xia to expel foreign criminals, if I forcibly take power, the people of this world will also feel that I am narrow-minded and cannot tolerate heroes. DeLong said in embarrassment.
The old prince's eyebrows moved, "Rhetoric? Isn't there a very reasonable argument right now? ”
"Oh?" DeLong was stunned.
"Your Majesty, since Duan Lang refused to come to Beijing under the pretext of the war report, let him lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot."
"What does Uncle mean?"
"Since Duan Lang dares to lie about the military situation, let's make this lie even bigger. His Majesty can send Ma Ruzheng as the commander in chief, go out on behalf of me, and use aid as an excuse to directly send troops to the Western Theater. He Duan Lang dared to open the city gate to greet him, and Ma Ruzheng went out on behalf of me, which could directly disrupt the original structure of the capital city and take back the military power. But Lao Chen felt that he was afraid that Duan Lang could only resist behind closed doors. In this way, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country can be punished by the whole world. ”
Delong's eyes lit up, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Prince Hong's words suddenly woke up Delong. As Prince Hong said, letting Duan Lang lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot and send troops to aid under the pretext of war is more effective than any rhetoric.
"Come on, summon Ma Ruzheng Zhang Zhao into the palace. No, together with Xiangguo Wu Guangguang, it will be announced together. ”
Delong's mood suddenly became refreshed, and he had to plan with several important ministers. Before the end of tomorrow's political discussion, Delong wants to let all the ministers in the world know that the war in the west can no longer be stopped, and a large army must be sent to support.
