Chapter 455: Yang Guozhong enters the court
After Huangfu Weiming finished speaking, Li Linfu stood up and sneered: "General Huangfu, the strategic importance of Shibao City is self-evident, you are a military general, you must be very clear about this, Shibao City is occupied by the Tubo people, for my Tang Dynasty is like a fish in the throat, as long as you can take Shibao City, even if the loss is big, it is worth it!" β
Xuanzong also meant this, Li Linfu's words were very in line with his thoughts, and after Li Linfu finished speaking, he nodded slightly. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Huangfu Weiming heard this, he exploded on the spot: "Li Linfu, you dog thief still have the face to say such things?" If you hadn't transferred all the experienced generals in the West China Sea and some wine bags and rice bags, how could the Tubo people find an opportunity to launch a counterattack? You old thing doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk, you take the troops to fight this battle? If you take Stone Castle City and don't die 20,000 or 30,000 people, my emperor will cut off your head and use it as a urinal! β
Huangfu Weiming, as a military general, and long-term garrison, extremely rich combat experience, his words are extremely credible, Xuanzong couldn't help frowning when he heard it, not that he was dissatisfied with Huangfu Weiming's words, but heard that it was possible to take Shibao City until 20,000 or 30,000 people died, this price is too great, and there are only 40,000 or 50,000 horses in the entire Longyou, and there are so many places to defend, if you lose 20,000 horses, even if you capture Shibao City, I am afraid that you will not be able to stop the Tubo people from attacking other defense areas in Longyou.
As soon as Li Linfu heard Huangfu Weiming's words, he stopped doing it, and was very aggrieved and put on a pitiful appearance and saluted Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, you see that this Huangfu puppet has insulted the old minister so much in the court, where is the old minister's old face restingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Li Linfu was beaten by Zhao Ziliang in the court before, when he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, even his own son didn't know him, his face had already fallen to the ground, and now he was scolded by Huangfu Weiming a few words, he cried on the spot, Xuanzong was a little impatient, and there was also some annoyance in his heart At the beginning, he firmly negotiated peace with the Tubo people, and transferred most of the talented generals of Xihai County away, and lost thousands of miles of land in the West Sea with some useless goods, so he waved his hand with an ugly face: "Okay, okay, you are seventy or eighty, What kind of body is it that is still crying? From now on, it is not allowed to use swear words in the court, otherwise it will be severely punished! β
Li Linfu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the old minister must remember it!" It's just a matter of attacking Stone Castle City, Your Majesty, do you think? β
Huangfu Weiming is the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and he is a major general in the border town, his words made Xuanzong think about it carefully, Xuanzong thought for a moment and said slowly: "Seeing the New Year's Pass, this matter is not in a hurry, wait until the Shangyuan Festival!" β
Huangfu Weiming and Li Linfu glared at each other fiercely, their noses each let out a cold snort, and they flicked their sleeves and walked back to their positions.
Xuanzong said again at this time: "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else?" If you have nothing to do, let's retire, this year's New Year, I want to be quiet and quiet, don't come to disturb me for the New Year if the Qing family has nothing to do! β
When these words were spoken, His Majesty Dan's ministers were disgusted in their hearts, why do they want to celebrate the New Year quietly? Don't you just want to soak in the Huaqing pool with your ex-daughter-in-law all day long? At such an age, I don't know how to be ashamed.
Of course, although the ministers muttered like this in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it, this is a big crime to kill their heads.
Li Linfu immediately glanced at an official next to him, and the official stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach Zhao Ziliang, the soldier and horse envoy of the left wing of Hedong!" β
Here again, the ministers sighed in their hearts, they all knew that Li Linfu's blow this time would definitely be very large, first Huangfu Weiming, and now Zhao Ziliang was found out again, and now the court and China are afraid that there will be a big turmoil.
Xuanzong raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "What do you want to impeach him?" β
"First, Weichen impeached Zhao Ziliang as a border general without the holy decree and the imperial court decree to lead troops to attack Mobei, this is an unauthorized transfer of troops to the expedition, the imperial court has a clear order, and the border general cannot attack and fight at will without the decree of the saint and the imperial court! Second, Weichen impeached Zhao Ziliang for wantonly slaughtering captives and innocent herdsmen and people in Mobei during his expedition to Mobei, resulting in thousands of miles of deserted people in Mobei, which is a butcher's behavior, which is contrary to my Tang Dynasty national policy and the Sage Avenue, please treat Zhao Ziliang's crimes! β
Xuanzong coughed and said: "Zhao Ziliang led the army to conquer Mobei, and Tian Renwan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, had already been on the song in advance, and I had already allowed it, so don't mention this again!" β
The official chased after him: "Okay, since Your Majesty has allowed it in advance, Zhao Ziliang is not guilty of this!" But what about the second one? Fighting a war is a war, and the slaughter of captives has been regarded as ominous since ancient times, not to mention the slaughter of unarmed herdsmen and innocent people in Mobei? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have been subject to the tribute and submission of the surrounding small countries and tribes, and the emperors and His Majesty have also implemented edification and benevolence to the Mobei tribes, so that they can admire my Tang **** culture, and finally there is a situation where all countries come to the court, but he Zhao Ziliang slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent old and weak women and children in Mobei, which is ruining the prestige of my Tang Dynasty and making His Majesty lose face! β
Xuanzong was said by this official, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made some sense, and felt that Zhao Ziliang really shouldn't kill so many innocent people, and at this time, one of the Wenchen stood up and walked to the middle of the hall.
The ministers took a look, but found that it was Li Jin, the king of Ruyang and the imperial servant, Li Jin was the eldest son of Li Xian, the "emperor", Li Xian was the eldest brother of Xuanzong, that is to say, Li Jin was Xuanzong's own nephew. The original crown prince was Li Xian, but Li Xian felt that his talent was limited, and he wanted to stay away from the court struggle, so he took the initiative to give up the position of prince to Xuanzong Li Longji, so later generations called Li Xian the emperor.
Li Jin is good at bows and arrows and drums, and the title of King of Brewing, won the love of Xuanzong, I saw him salute Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord Guo is exaggerating, I think Zhao Ziliang also fought a lot of battles when he was in Anxi and Hexi, and he won every battle, and I didn't see him order a large-scale massacre of prisoners and old and weak women and children, why did he go to Hedong this time and kill so many prisoners and old and weak women and children when he went to Mobei?" Weichen thinks that there must be a reason for this, it is impossible for a person to kill people for no reason, although he is the one who ordered it, unless he is a madman, there must be no reason why he did not order to kill all the Khitan and Xi captives and their old and weak women and children, if the court wants to investigate this matter, Weichen thinks that it should be investigated in detail and not wronged good people! β
Li Linfu couldn't help it, he went into battle shirtless, stood up and accused Li Jin: "King Brewing, what do you mean by this?" According to what you mean, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Ziliang killing both the Xi people and the Khitans? No matter what his reason is, he can't order the killing of all the Xi and Khitan people, otherwise wouldn't the surrounding tribes and small countries think that my Tang generals are all murderous people? Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang's actions will inevitably cause great panic among the surrounding small countries and tribes, and it will really damage the name of benevolence and righteousness of our Tang Dynasty. β
Zuo Prime Minister Li Shizhi went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with Li Xiang's suggestion, the surrounding small countries and tribes often harass and invade the territory of our dynasty in the frontier, and if they lose, they will seek peace and call the vassals, if our dynasty defeats him, they will inevitably be more unscrupulous, and invade on a large scale, I have to send a lot of money and materials to negotiate peace every time, and I have to send out the princess marriage in exchange for peace, like the Xi and Khitan people and other wolf-hearted tribes, how good my Tang Dynasty was to them back then, they rebelled several times, and also hit the hinterland of the east of my Tang River, To treat such tribes, we should exterminate them and deter other tribes, especially Tubo, a country with capricious villains, before discussing peace and attacking my Tang Dynasty after two years, how can we deter other small countries and tribes if we don't make a ruthless move? β
Li Linfu immediately retorted: "Prime Minister Zuo, you don't agree with what the old man said, my Datang is a **** country, how can I do such a barbaric act of indiscriminately killing innocents?" According to your meaning, the court should not only not punish Zhao Ziliang, but also reward him? If this opening is opened, the generals will be slaughtered in the future during the battle, and the enemy army will definitely resist desperately, and it will be even more difficult for our army to win! β
The two sides exchanged words and quarrels, Xuanzong listened to the dragon chair with a headache, but Yang Yuhuan, who was sitting behind the screen of the dragon chair, kept worrying about his heart, worried that the ministers would attack Zhao Ziliang and let the matter ferment and finally get out of control, and Zhao Ziliang would be in big trouble.
The two camps quarreled over the matter, and most of the officials in the DPRK and China basically impeached Cho Ziliang as guilty of his massacre.
At this moment, a young little eunuch walked into the main hall with a small step of dust, bowed to Xuanzong, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong sent the envoy Yang Zhao to present Shu brocade to Your Majesty!" β
Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily: "Okay, this is about to be the New Year, Zhang Qiu and Qiong still remember to send someone to present Shu brocade to me, come, Xuan envoy Yang Zhao to meet you!" β
"Yes!"
Xuanzong and the ministers heard the name Yang Zhao for the first time, but Yang Yuhuan was extremely happy to hear the name Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao was his cousin, when she was in Sichuan and several sisters borrowed the Lord to live in Yang Zhao's house for many years, he immediately whispered to Xuanzong through the screen: "This messenger is the cousin of the concubine!" β
"Oh?" Xuanzong's heart moved, and he coughed to indicate that he had heard.
After a while, the little eunuch led a middle-aged official about forty years old to walk in, this person was Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao walked into the hall and knelt down: "Weichen Yang Zhao came to offer Shu brocade to His Majesty on the order of Zhang Qiu and Lord Qiong, Long live Your Majesty!" β
Xuanzong was very happy, "Okay, okay, Yang Zhao is flat!" β
The impeachment of Zhao Ziliang was stirred up by the sudden Yang Zhao, which was also what Xuanzong was willing to see, this time the court meeting was over, after the court meeting, Yang Zhao was left in the palace by Xuanzong to meet Yang Yuhuan, brother and sister saw each other, they were very happy, and naturally there were endless words.
Soon, Yang Yuhuan was entrusted by Yang Zhao, and often said good things about Yang Zhao and Zhang Qiu and Qiong in front of Xuanzong, so not long after the New Year, Xuanzong issued an order to canonize Yang Zhao as the Jinwu soldier Cao to join the army, this position can allow Yang Zhao to enter and leave the palace freely with the worship officer.
