Chapter 12: Decision

Emperor Liang Wen listened to Jin Ren's words, waved his hand and chuckled: "Jin Aiqing is someone I trust, since Jin Aiqing said that there is evidence, then I don't have to look at it." Then Emperor Liang changed his words, stared at this Yin Shu and said, "Then according to what Lord Yin said, how should this matter be decided?" When he said this, his eyes were still looking at Lin Changhai's side, and he saw Lin Changhai standing still, as if this matter really had nothing to do with him.

When Yin Shu heard the emperor say this, he said: "Your Majesty, the Golden Gun Marquis Lin Yi did not follow the rules and forcibly asked the officials of this dynasty for food, but there is a suspicion of supporting the army and self-respect, but the Golden Gun Marquis is my Daliang Tangtang Zhenxi General, and he is the eldest son of the Duke of Chengguo, this matter still needs to be investigated, it is better to let the Golden Gun Marquis come back and confront him face to face." ”

After Jiang Qian listened, he immediately couldn't sit still, and said to the emperor urgently: "The emperor can't, changing the commander in battle is a taboo for soldiers, this General Lin followed Chengguo Gong to the battlefield at a young age, and has made great contributions to my Liang over the years, and his loyalty is the emperor who can learn from the sun and the moon, besides, this General Lin has repeatedly urged food, and does not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, it may be that there is the general's own arrangement, I am far behind, and I don't know the general's arrangement, so I will transfer General Lin back, it is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty." ”

Yin Shu sneered and retorted: "General Jiang is so pushy, I don't know what he thinks, I just want this General Lin to come back and confront him face to face." Now that the Jin Kingdom has been defeated by our army, and fourteen cities have been lost in a month, our army has already won a great victory, even if the commander is changed at this time, it may not be impossible. ”

When Jiang Qian and a series of other generals heard this, they were furious, and soldiers were a major matter of the country. Now this war is not over, although the Liang has won successive battles, but it is too aggressive, and the lone army is deep, and it is time to be extremely cautious. And this Yin Shu, a civilian official, does not understand military affairs, and dares to talk about military affairs, saying that he has already won a big victory, which is completely nonsense.

So Jiang Qian calmly replied: "Lord Yin's words are wrong, now it seems that the battle situation is our army has the upper hand, but we are not fully sure that we can win the battle, although in recent months, our army has won successive battles, even the passes, but it is too aggressive, the lone army is deep, and the grain and grass may not be transported in time, General Lin is worried about the problem of grain and grass, which is really understandable." Your Majesty, please be clear. In the end, this Jiang Qian actually knelt down to this Emperor Wen of Liang, and the continuous kowtowing sound set off this quiet hall, which seemed very appropriate.

Jin Ren looked at Jiang Qian's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a loyal minister of the country. Look at this Yin Shu, he was dumbfounded and at a loss by Jiang Qian's words, too, this Yin Shu is a civilian official, he doesn't understand military affairs, and he dares to talk about military affairs, this is not asking for hardship.

I saw that on this dragon chair, Emperor Liang Wendi also bowed slightly, and a pair of eyes inadvertently slowly swept over the faces of the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of Dingguo, and after thinking about it, he said to this Yin Shu: "Yin Aiqing, what General Jiang said is reasonable, so this change of commander still needs to be considered." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw another person standing up in the queue of civil officials, Jin Ren raised his head slightly, this person stood up from the top few, I am afraid that he is a big man.

Sure enough, I saw this person standing slightly, holding a wat board and bowing his head and saying, "Huang Qing, the secretary of the minister's department, has something to play." ”

Needless to say, this Huang Qing is also a member of the Huang family, and Huang Qing's background is not small, not only the official of the dignified Ministry of Officials, the official of the second grade of the Great Liang, but also the head of the Ministry of Officials, coordinating the appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials, assessment, promotion, transfer and other matters, the power is very large. This Huang Qing also has an identity, which is the adopted son of Huang Desheng, the Duke of Dingguo. Huang Qing was originally surnamed Cao, this person surnamed Cao was originally the former housekeeper of Huangfu, and then unfortunately died of illness, leaving this Cao Qing, Dingguo Gong couldn't bear it, so he left this son by his side and recognized him as an adopted son, and changed his name to Huang.

When Emperor Liang Wendi saw it, he immediately became interested, good guy, one of the core figures of the Huang family appeared, so he sat up straight and asked softly: "Huang Aiqing, what do you want to play?" ”

Huang Qing lowered his head and said loudly: "The minister learned the news that there are many people in my Liang front-line army who are dissatisfied with the Golden Gun Marquis, and if the Golden Gun Marquis serves as the front-line commander for a long time, I am afraid that he will lose the morale of the army." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Ren thought that this must be the back hand left by the Huang family, and maybe the Huang family also realized that it was probably impossible to directly bring down Lin Yi by urging grain and grass alone, because Lin Yi was eager to make a quick decision, so it was normal to urge food. But this loss of the army is different, if Lin Yi really because the soldiers are exhausted and complain because of the repeated battles, it may seriously lead to a mutiny among the soldiers, so this has to be taken seriously.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace were shocked, and then Emperor Liang Wendi also had a straight face and asked seriously: "Why did Aiqing say this?" The Golden Spear Marquis fought in front of him, and he won successive battles, how could it lead to the discouragement of the army? ”

I saw this Huang Qing said: "Although the Golden Gun Marquis is brave, in January even under the Northern Jin Dynasty large and small city passes fourteen, but it is precisely because of too urgency, resulting in the fatigue of the soldiers, this Golden Gun Marquis's subordinates have a general suggestion, to stabilize the situation, first repair, but was the Golden Gun Hou categorically refused, the Golden Gun Hou not only did not agree, but also heavily punished the general who made the proposal, which led to the dissatisfaction of the soldiers in the army, Your Majesty, if it goes on like this, Weichen is worried, and it will change later." ”

Emperor Wen Liang was very puzzled, so he turned his head to look at the hundred officials and asked, "Do the ministers know about this?" ”

I saw that the military attachΓ© and the generals all turned their heads to look at each other, and they were all silent. And the civil official queue stood up again, and several ministers said: "The minister knows about this, what Huang Shangshu said is true, the Marquis of the Golden Gun has indeed done this." ”

Emperor Liang Wendi smiled, his eyes rolled, and he looked at Lin Changhai and Huang Desheng, only to see that both of them were sitting on their chairs, their faces were not colorful, one lowered his head and was silent, and the other person actually closed his eyes directly, as if he had not heard the bloody wind and rain in the court just now.

So Emperor Liang Wen asked Huang Desheng: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

As soon as Huang Desheng heard this, he immediately stood up before this Lin Changhai, arched his hand to this Emperor Wen and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know how to deal with this matter, but it is up to Your Majesty to decide." His eyes then glanced at him, and his eyes were staring at the Chengguo Gong Lin Changhai in the column next to him.

Not only him, but now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all focusing on this Lin Changhai, and Jin Ren is the same, I don't know what tricks this Lin Changhai will make next to deal with it.

I saw that this Lin Changhai slowly opened his eyes, and he was struggling to stand up, and the eunuch next to him saw it, so he hurriedly went up to support this Lin Changhai, and finally after a while, Lin Changhai stood slightly, and then bent down to bow to this Emperor Wen and said: "This matter, the old minister also does not know, if this is indeed true, for the sake of the stability of the army, but it is necessary to change the commander, the old minister does not dare to show favoritism, if this is the case, the old minister implores, His Majesty issued an order to change the commander." ”

When Emperor Wen Liang heard this, his eyes closed slightly, and he thought about it on this dragon chair, then opened his eyes and nodded, and said to this Lin Changhai: "Then I will give the order to change the commander, but I don't know, who will replace the position of the Marquis of the Golden Gun?"

Without waiting for the other ministers to speak, Lin Changhai took the lead and said slowly: "The old minister thinks that the person who will succeed the Marquis of the Golden Gun should be a person with a certain prestige in this court, and a person who is talented and courageous, and a person who is trusted by His Majesty." Therefore, the old minister had the courage to recommend the son of the Duke of Dingguo, and Huang Xiu, the Marquis of Kangle, took on this important responsibility, and he had to take this position. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the court were very surprised, this Cheng Guogong is not old and confused, he just lost a game, and this time he even recommended the eldest son of the Huang family, Kang Le Hou Huang Xiu, the son of Dingguo Gong, to take Lin Yi's position. Who doesn't know that now Lin Yi has laid down more than ten cities, even if the class teacher returns to the dynasty immediately, it will be a great credit, and doing so is not equivalent to the Lin family directly giving the credit to the Huang family?

The military attachΓ©s were very puzzled, and some of the generals were bold, and behind Lin Changhai was a slight whisper to remind Lin Changhai a few words, but Lin Changhai didn't seem to hear it, and after saying that, he stood beside him, quietly waiting for Emperor Liang Wen's reply.

When Emperor Liang heard this, he was also slightly surprised, and then he fell silent, lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he asked Huang Xiudao, the Marquis of Kangle: "Huang Aiqing, may you take on this position?" ”

Huang Xiu thought that there was nothing big about him in this court today, but now he was very surprised to hear that the pie in the sky had fallen on his head, and he first looked at his father, Huang Desheng, the Duke of Dingguo, and saw that Huang Desheng did not react, so he replied with a straight face: "Weichen is willing to take on this important task, and he will be able to live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Emperor Wen of Liang listened, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and did not speak, and the huge Jinluan Hall was very quiet. After a while, he said: "Okay, sure enough, after the Duke of Guo, then I will order Kangle Hou Huang Xiu to be the general of Pingbei, and the power of the general of Zhenxi, to replace the Marquis of the Golden Gun, General Huang, but don't let me down, I will wait for you on the day of triumph, and I will personally take over the wind and wash the dust for you."

Huang Xiu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wen of Liang waited a little longer, and saw that these two princes and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had nothing to say. Then he said: "Since there is nothing to do, then let's retreat." ”

When the words fell, I heard the big internal official next to him shouting again: "The ministers retreat from the court." ”

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately knelt down, and even Lin Changhai, who had inconvenient legs and feet, slowly bent his knees, and heard a uniform voice sounding above the hall: "Your Majesty." ”

Then Emperor Wen of Liang yawned and got up, and when he was about to walk into the bead curtain, he suddenly turned his head and looked at this Jin Ren with a smile: "Jin Aiqing, you and I haven't seen each other for three years, and after a while, I will come to the study of the Department of Internal Affairs to meet me alone, I want to talk to you." ”

Jin Ren, of course, was also among the hundred officials who knelt down here, and when he bowed his head and stood up, he listened to this, so he replied respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Emperor Liang laughed a few times, and then walked into the bead curtain quickly, and no longer looked at the other people of the Manchu Dynasty.

Jin Ren stood silently, staring at the old man who was in the forefront of the military attache with stunned eyes, not only sighed secretly in his heart: "What a poisonous plan, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, Lin Changhai, who really didn't know that this horse had been fighting all his life, could come up with such a plan and counter the Huang family's army, amazing, amazing." ”

Of course, it was a poisonous plan, and the Lin family saw that they would definitely not be able to get the credit, not only the Huang family, but even the emperor's mind was afraid that he would think so. So it's better not to take this credit directly, anyway, everyone who knows understands the importance of this battle against Lin Yi, and it can be regarded as a face for the Lin family. If it is given to the Huang family, first, you can let other neutral officials know the generosity of my Lin family, and second, let the emperor rest assured, third, Lin Yi's expedition and this Huang Xiu's expedition are completely different concepts, Lin Yi can win, Huang Xiu is not necessarily, then Mr. Panlong of the Jin Kingdom has not yet made a move, if Huang Xiu can't come back alive, then this change of commander will not only not be a loss for his Lin family, but will also be a great thing.

Only this Huang Xiu was still secretly happy, but he didn't know the crisis hidden under the seeming simplicity of this heavy responsibility......
