Text Section 218 Leverage strength
Zhang Ruming's foul language made the smile on Delong's face fade instantly. This is the first time since he ascended the throne that he has convened the world to discuss politics, and this Shangguan Xuanwu's behavior is simply detrimental to his imperial majesty.
Delong, who was a little angry in his heart, looked at Duan Lang, but found that Duan Lang was looking at Shangguan Xuanwu very calmly. Seeing Duan Lang so calm, Delong couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and immediately suppressed his anger.
Delong could not care about Shangguan Xuanwu, the second fool, but Duan Lang's composure made him vigilant. After all, he had just ascended the throne, and the world was not stable, so he couldn't openly suppress Duan Lang.
Just when Delong was alert, Wu Guangguang stood up and said angrily, "Lord Shangguan, Hugh has to speak wildly in front of Your Majesty, what kind of system is this. ”
"Fart, what is Kyogen. When Lao Tzu was shopping in the capital city, where were you? Now that the war is not over, you will withdraw your troops and horses. Then if the West Vietnamese army fights again, who will resist? Is it you, or do you go? Wu Guangguang, if you have the ability, you can also take people, go to the border to kill and let Lao Tzu see. ”
"You~ you are so market-oriented~ it's a humiliation of your identity." Wu Guangguang trembled with anger.
"What is Lao Tzu's identity, don't think that the gods in the sky don't scold the street, otherwise where will the thunder and lightning come from. The gods are still angry, let alone Lao Tzu. ”
Li Jianshan covered his mouth and almost didn't laugh out loud, and with the lightning and thunder, it was the gods who were scolding the street.
Wu Guangguang trembled angrily, and when he thought of Shangguan Xuanwu's bad deeds in the past, he simply snorted heavily and stopped paying attention to him. If you want to collect papers, Wu Guangguang can say that the wonderful pen is full of flowers. But when it comes to scolding the street, Shangguan Xuanwu in the court thinks that he is the second, and no one dares to call him the first.
Delong knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't come forward, so he coughed, "Two Aiqing, there's no need to argue." The ministers just put forward their own opinions, and since it is a discussion of politics, they can all talk about their own ideas. Duan Aiqing, do you say yes? Delong's gaze looked at Duan Lang.
"Do you still need to ask, the West Vietnamese army is still in the Two Realms Mountain, of course Duan Lang will not agree." Zhang Ruming shouted angrily.
DeLong frowned, simply ignoring Zhang Ruming's words. In this situation, if you talk to him too much, Delon is afraid that he will be angry and sick.
Hearing Delong call his name, Duan Lang had no choice but to stand up, "Back to Your Majesty, Duan Lang thinks that ~ what you have said is right, these soldiers and horses should be returned." ”
"Well, Duan Lang definitely disagrees. Of course these soldiers and horses don't~, it's not ~you~ What did you kid just say? Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang in surprise.
Duan Lang also ignored Zhang Ruming, and directly hugged his fist and bowed to Delong, "Your Majesty, the current war situation in the west is stable, and Lidu City and Landu City will also have to recuperate for a period of time. With so many soldiers and horses, the last general is indeed unable to supply. I also hope that Your Majesty will allow the new army camp and the city defense soldiers and horses to return to their original places. ”
The school yard was quiet for a while. Delong also looked at Duan Lang in surprise, not understanding if he had heard it wrong. Li Jianshan opened his mouth even more, and his brain was a little blindfolded. The members of the six departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee also stared at each other, not understanding whether Duan Lang was wrong.
Zhang Ruming touched his forehead, "No~ you wait." Did you kid secretly drink Uncle Zhou's decoction before going out? Do you know what you're talking about? Your Majesty, this guy went out and took the wrong medicine, and I implore Your Majesty to go back and discuss it again. ”
Mystery arose in Delong's heart, and Duan Lang's unexpected move suddenly disrupted his plan. Could it be that Duan Lang had already expected this scene? Someone still leaked the news. But looking at Shangguan Xuanwu's annoyed and angry appearance, it didn't seem like he knew it in advance. But even if he knew in advance, Duan Lang shouldn't have agreed.
Yin Liangyi, the governor of Chengyang Prefecture, came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, since you want to restore your national strength, it is imperative to eliminate the bandits. At present, banditry is extremely rampant in the world, and some forces have already threatened the livelihood of the people. Since General Duan has agreed to return our soldiers and horses, I beg Your Majesty for your permission. ”
Zhang Guangzhi of Xiadu Mansion also followed and said, "Ministers, I beg Your Majesty's permission." ”
Zhang Ruming stomped his feet angrily, "Well, you are big, could it be that the troops are withdrawn from the border pass, and the bandits in the world can be quelled in this world." Lao Tzu traveled all over the world back then, and the so-called bandits were not a group of desperate civilians who were forced by the government. But if there is a way to live, who is willing to abandon his family and business and carry his head to become a bandit. In addition, there are some bandits, who are simply a group of ruffians who collude with the government. They oppress the people, and they give you offerings every month, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know. ”
As soon as Zhang Ruming's voice fell, the ministers were in an uproar. This time he was guilty of public anger and knocked down a group of people with a rod.
Liang Yi's face turned red, and he couldn't help but say angrily, "Lord Shangguan, Hugh has to slander me and other officials of the capital. As a Celestial Master, it is your duty to pray for the blessings of all people, not to discredit our hard-working officials. ”
"Fart, believe it or not, Lao Tzu kicked you to death. You only know that Lao Tzu is the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country, have you forgotten that Lao Tzu is still a first-class Heavenly Inspector. Supervising the world's hundreds of officials is itself Lao Tzu's duty. Your Majesty, I see that this kid looks like a thief, and at first glance he looks like a corrupt person, come here, take him down for me. Zhang Ruming jumped to his feet and scolded.
Delong's brows furrowed, and he said gloomily and angrily, "Shangguan Aiqing, don't mess around." ”
"Did you hear that, Your Majesty told you not to mess around, and if you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slapped you to death." Zhang Ruming pinched his waist and glared at Liang Yi.
Delong rolled his eyes angrily, who am I talking about, "Shut up for me." ”
Delong looked at everyone majestically, he didn't really want Lidu City to withdraw his troops, after all, the southern theater of operations was still fighting. Delong's real idea was to make Duan Lang arouse public anger. But he ignored Shangguan Xuanwu and messed up the entire school field. On the other hand, Duan Lang was calm and calm, and he didn't solicit at all. Even, along with the crowd.
Delong felt that his brain was a little messy, although Shangguan Xuanwu was also from Lidu City, it was not a weight compared to Duan Lang after all. What's more, Shangguan Xuanwu himself is notorious, even if there is another group of adults who scold him, these two fools don't care.
Delong darkened his face and said in a loud voice, "This matter is not discussed for the time being, I am already tired, if you Aiqing have nothing else to do." Retreat! ”
Delong was originally going to have a banquet with the ministers, but Zhang Ruming was not in the mood at all. Delong asked Prince Hong to feast on his behalf, and returned to the palace with a black line full of black lines. As soon as Delong left, Duan Lang also found an excuse to leave the school. Zhang Ruming himself was not welcomed, so he simply left with Duan Lang. In terms of the capital city, only Li Jianshan was left in the school field.
On the way back, Zhang Ruming pouted as if he owed him much money. Duan Lang smiled, "Why, it's still those people who are still careless." ”
"Don't talk to me, you kid, I don't want to talk to you now. The last thing I want to do right now is to beat you up. Zhang Ruming rolled his eyes, as if he had been wronged.
Duan Lang said with a smile, "Just now I asked Zhou Long to submit a copy to His Majesty. The current situation is that I took the initiative to ask Ying to withdraw his troops. ”
"What? You~ You're crazy. ”
"I'm not crazy."
"Okay, you will lose, the little family foundation in Lidu City will let you lose sooner or later. I've finished reading it, if Lao Tzu dies one day, he will definitely be angry with your kid. When I go back, I will ask Ah Zhu to write it down, and after his death, he will engrave it on the tombstone, so that his descendants can see who killed Lao Tzu. Zhang Ruming's hands trembled.
Duan Lang smiled, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Old man, in fact, I already knew that there would be such a play." Don't worry, DeLong will never take soldiers and horses. Lao Tzu did this to let him lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. ”
"Cowardice~, you kid is just a fool, you don't know what you're doing. I'm telling you, in case ~ what if~? What do you say, say it again? Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang in surprise.
Duan Lang whispered the true intention of withdrawing the soldiers and horses, he knew that Delong had the intention of withdrawing the troops, but it was definitely not now. The approach of Jiang Zhuming and others was nothing more than Delong's desire to erect a strong opposition to the capital city. Since DeLong was afraid, he went along with his intentions.
Zhang Ruming suddenly realized, "Damn, Delong's butt hasn't been hot yet, so he wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge." No~ Since you kid know, why didn't you tell me? Want to see Lao Tzu's jokes, right? ”
Duan Lang said soothingly, "Old man, this opposite can exist, and it must not be transferred to the head of Lidu City. Think about it, what would happen if the capital of the world really spilled its anger on my head? In case the government decrees that we are not allowed to travel with our capital, we can't buy grain and grass even if we want to. This point, I have the same idea as Mingyue. Therefore, you can only ask Brother Zhang to carry this black cauldron. ”
"! Isn't Lao Tzu also a person from Lidu City? ”
"This is different, you are the Heavenly Protector of the Country, or the Heavenly Survey Supervisor of Great Xia. In terms of identity, it's different from us. They have a grudge in their hearts, but only for you personally, not for the entire capital city. If I come forward to carry this black cauldron, it will be different. Besides, your dignified Heavenly Protector is still afraid of carrying this black cauldron. Duan Lang patted his fart with his hand.
"Cowardice! Not to mention the capital of the world, even if you add the royal relatives and relatives, Lao Tzu is not afraid. Okay, this pot is on my back. ”
Knowing that Duan Lang had expected it, Zhang Ruming was relieved. Since Mingyue also knew about this, Zhang Ruming believed that Mingyue would never return the soldiers and horses to Delong.
In the school field, as soon as Duan Lang and Zhang Ruming left, the officials of the capital government cursed one after another. Li Jianshan smiled bitterly and accompanied the smiling face, constantly making amends to everyone. Duan Lang specially explained a few words to him before leaving, and the shrewd Li Jianshan immediately understood Duan Lang's intentions. That is, no matter what, don't bring your anger to the head of the capital city.
Wherever Li Jianshan went, others sneered at him. In desperation, Li Jianshan had no choice but to complain to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you know that the dead fat man is in Lidu City and we are all about to die. But the official position is big, and we don't dare to offend this petty official. ”
"Hmph, you, Lord Li, have made a fortune by relying on the Heavenly Master Palace, and we don't dare to offend your Lidu City. In the future, let's go our separate ways. ”
"No, no, don't get me wrong. I do not deny that I once relied on the Heavenly Master Hall to receive the gifts from above. But we don't have to go all the way with him in the capital, and I wish this fat man would leave early. You don't know, this master is about to drive us crazy. ”
Li Jianshan complained to everyone and denounced Shangguan Xuanwu's unknown dirty things, and after listening to Li Jianshan's bitter water, all the adults really felt that he, the Fu Yin, was simply an angry little daughter-in-law. But thinking about it, Duan Lang gave everyone a fairly stable impression, and Shangguan Xuanwu didn't even take His Majesty seriously, not to mention that he was a Li Jianshan.
That night, Delong sat in the Silent Pavilion, frowning at the two recitals. One is Duan Lang's plea for the withdrawal of troops and horses, and lists the reasons for the withdrawal. What Duan Lang said was very real, that is, Lidu City could not raise so many soldiers and horses. If the troops are not withdrawn, the court must increase the amount of food, grass and military salaries. On the other hand, Jiang Zhuming and others jointly played a concert, imploring Emperor Delong to issue an order to return the soldiers and horses of their capitals.
Delon rubbed his forehead, and after reading these two copies, he felt embarrassed. Delong ordered Prince Hong to be invited, and he now wanted to listen to the old prince's opinion on the matter.
Prince Hong came to the Jing Pavilion, pondered for a moment after watching the two songs, and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you want to withdraw the soldiers and horses?" ”
"Old Prince, you are the ancestor of your clan, and Delong is dissatisfied with you and says that I really want to withdraw. However, not yet. After all, the war between the two places has not ended, and it is too early to withdraw the troops and horses. But today's thing, if I don't withdraw, I will have to add grain, grass and military pay in the capital. So~! Delon smiled wryly and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that since Duan Lang has the intention of withdrawing his troops, why not take this opportunity to withdraw his troops and horses."
"Uncle, this is a soft knife, this kid is simply persecuting me."
Prince Hong smiled slightly, "Whether it's a hard knife or a soft knife, since Duan Lang has made a setback, this is a rare opportunity." Even if His Majesty withdraws, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. What's more, His Majesty's move will definitely be supported by the local capitals. ”
"What if the war resumes?"
Prince Hong shook his head, "After this battle, Xiyue will not raise swords again after ten years. And in the southern theater, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in my Great Xia, even if there is a lack of soldiers and horses in Lidu City, Xining will be pacified sooner or later. In the long run, the removal of the soldiers and horses in the capital city will be beneficial to our Great Xia and will not do any harm. ”
"This~ Rong Zhen think about it again."
Delong was a little moved by what Prince Hong said, but when he thought that Duan Lang and the others had just worked hard to keep him in power, and they were about to remove the soldiers and horses in a blink of an eye, Delong was also a little unreasonable.
The day after the discussion, Delong prevaricated that he was unwell and did not go to court. However, the matter of the removal of soldiers and horses from the capital city slowly spread in the court.
A day passed, and in the quiet pavilion, Delong listened to Zhang Zhao's secret report. He wants to see what the hundreds of officials in the world think about the removal of soldiers and horses. Especially the senior officials in the court, they are different from the local capitals, and many people also have some complaints about the withdrawal of troops.
Just as Delong was listening to the secret music, Liu Zhi, the head of the internal guard, bowed down and walked in, "Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has received a secret music from the south. ”
"Oh? Quick, bring it up. ”
As soon as Delong heard the news from the southern camp, he hurriedly asked Liu Zhi to come over. After reading the secret letter from Fei Yu, Delong's face changed and he suddenly stood up nervously. The secret recital said that Yan Facheng and others in the southern camp did not negotiate with Mingyue in the southern camp, and the two sides were very nervous. There was even a mutiny in the camp, and there was almost a fight with the honor guard.
"Quick, Xuanxiang Guo Wu Guangguang, the soldier He Lianjia, enter the palace to see me. No, there is also ~ the great general Duan Lang. ”
Delon's face turned pale, and after he finished speaking, he sat weakly on the dragon chair.
