Chapter 762: The Wrath of the Court
Half an hour later, the side hall of Ziwei Hall was already full of people, not only the five phases of the Zhizheng Hall in Beijing were in place, but also Li Yanqing, Dong Ping and Yao Pingzhong, the three military commanders, in addition to Tang Ke, the bachelor that Zhao Huan valued the most, and Geng Nanzhong, who had just arrived in the capital.
Wu Xiaomin, the envoy of the Jin State, sent him to the Honglu Temple Hotel to rest, and Geng Nanzhong rushed to see Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, without even taking a sip of water, and he was taken directly to the side hall of Ziwei Palace.
Everyone sat in their respective seats, the hall was filled with a suppressed silence, and there was an aura of anger, this anger emanated from the three generals on the left, just now, Li Yanqing and the three of them had already listened to Bai Shizhong to introduce one of the requirements of the Jin State, prohibiting the reward against the Jin generals, they did not turn their faces on the spot, but the anger was overflowing, although the relationship between the three was average, but when it came to common core interests, the three of them immediately twisted into a rope.
At this time, Li Yanqing said slowly: "Your Majesty can tolerate Weichen's words?" ”
The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws after all, although Zhao Huan doesn't want Li Yanqing to speak, but he still has to face the reality, he boasts that he can persuade Dong Ping and Yao Pingzhong, but he is not sure about Li Yanqing, if Li Yanqing does not express his position, then today's court meeting will have no meaning.
"Li Aiqing, please speak!"
"Your Majesty, the ancients had a thousand gold to buy bones is righteousness, Shang Ying's change of law and a hundred gold to move a tree, is for the faith, it is the faith and righteousness, there are thousands of horses, only then can there be a thousand miles of horses, only then can the Qin State be strong, and finally unify the world, look at today, the capital is in trouble, thousands of soldiers generously go to righteousness, do not hesitate to sacrifice their precious lives, and finally save the capital, keep the court, keep the Great Song Sheji, what they do, is Your Majesty really going to turn a blind eye? If it really breaks the hearts of the soldiers, when the Jin soldiers come for the second time, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for His Majesty? ”
There was silence in the side hall, and Li Yanqing's words were heart-wrenching, directly reprimanding Zhao Huan and the imperial court for being ruthless and unjust, which made everyone very embarrassed, and even Dong Ping and Yao Pingzhong, who wanted to support Li Yanqing, did not dare to say anything.
At this time, Bai Shizhong smiled, got up and said: "Li Dutong's words are too biased, the court is in difficulty, everyone's contribution is the duty of courtiers, the retreat of the Jin soldiers to the north is a great contribution to the peace talks of the Zhizheng Hall, we have never thought of asking Your Majesty what reward he wants......"
"Shut up!"
Li Yanqing glared at Bai Shizhong angrily, "Don't use your compromise and surrender to defile my soldiers!" ”
This sentence suddenly caused an uproar in the side hall, Bai Shizhong was so angry that his chest was about to explode, and he stared at Li Yanqing viciously, if he hated Li Yanqing before, he was acting to please Zhao Huan, but now, he couldn't wait to cut Li Yanqing with a thousand knives with his eyes.
"You..... What nonsense are you talking about! Bai Shizhong trembled and pointed at Li Yanqing and shouted.
Li Yanqing stepped forward and stared at Bai Shizhong fiercely, "Jin Bing retreated because of your peace talks?" It's a big joke, when the Jin soldiers retreated north, there was no nest car, no trebuchet, the siege ladder was destroyed ninety, they were no longer able to attack the city, our soldiers attacked Liyang Cang, burned the Jin army's million loads of forage, the war horses of the Jin country could not support ten days, this is the reason for their retreat north, and your so-called peace talks have nothing to do with it! ”
Li Yanqing's eyes burned with anger, the compromise and hostility of the court's civilian clique finally made him unbearable, these soft-boned civilian officials despised military merits from the bottom of their hearts, they could look down on soldiers, but they must not trample on the dignity of soldiers.
Li Yanqing's lion-like anger was like a basin of cold water, which suddenly extinguished Bai Shizhong's anger, and he was suddenly afraid in his heart, he was afraid that he would be killed by a cold arrow tonight, a trace of timidity flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zhao Huan with a blank look.
At this time, Zhao Huan's face was also extremely ugly, but he also saw that Li Yanqing's anger had exploded, and if he didn't compromise at this time, the negotiations with Jin Guo would probably stalemate.
Zhao Huan restrained the strong dissatisfaction in his heart, and glanced at Sun Fu, Sun Fu was also Zhao Huan's teacher, and he knew him very well, Sun Fu stood up and smiled and said: "Li Dutong's mood for the interests of his subordinates is understandable, but please calm your anger first, you can discuss any objections, Bai Xianggong also please sit down first, listen to me a few words." ”
"Alright! Since Li Dutong doesn't understand my words, then ask Sun Xianggong to say it. Bai Shizhong found a step and sat down.
Li Yanqing also restrained the anger in his heart, and returned to his seat to sit down, but his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his inner world could no longer be seen on his face.
Seeing that the two of them were calm, Sun Fu walked out and said earnestly: "We don't want to wronged our soldiers, but Hedong and Hebei are still dealing with the iron hooves, we have to temporarily forbear, if the rewards of the generals are canceled in one sentence, then there will be no today's Zhizheng Hall deliberations, we are trying to find a compromise plan, which not only meets the unreasonable requirements of the Jin people, but also ensures the interests of the soldiers." ”
These words touched Zhao Huan's heart, Zhao Huan nodded again and again, and asked, "I don't know what good plan Sun Xianggong has?" ”
"Weichen considers, you can separate the seal and the reward, first reward and then seal, before we have allocated 100,000 hectares of Shangtian, we can allocate another 50,000 hectares, specifically to reward the middle-level generals and above, this is actually the previous reward, and does not violate the conditions of the Jin State, the reward is solved, let's talk about the seal, I suggest that the Zhizheng Hall can first draft a detailed plan, but do not implement it for the time being, and then promulgate and implement it after the negotiations are completely over, at most one year, I don't know if the three are acceptable?"
Sun Fu looked at Li Yanqing and the three of them expectantly.
At this time, Yao Pingzhong asked Li Yanqing in a low voice: "Li Dutong, what do you think?" ”
Li Yanqing shook his head, "Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated, in order to meet the rude demands of the Jin people, the benefits due to the soldiers are postponed indefinitely, what is the difference between this and killing a robber and being humiliated by the robbers, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." ”
Dong Ping next to him also whispered: "I also think it's inappropriate, if you delay it for a year, it will not be done in the end, this kind of thing has been done by the imperial court more than once." ”
At this moment, Geng Nanzhong, who had been silent, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Sun Xianggong's plan won't work!" ”
The words were shocked, everyone's eyes looked at Geng Nanzhong, Zhao Huan frowned, "Why not?" ”
Geng Nanzhong stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the three conditions proposed by the Jin State have a very clear detailed description, we are discussing the second one today, and the details have been clearly stated, not only the knighthood of middle-level generals, but also the rewards of ordinary soldiers, that is to say, the soldier reward program that has been promulgated by the imperial court before must also be cancelled and invalidated, I discussed this issue with the envoy of Jin State on the road, and he said it very clearly, it must include the land reward program promulgated before. ”
There was a sudden silence in the side hall, and Sun Fu also opened his mouth, he couldn't go on, the conditions of the Jin people were not leaky, and they had no loopholes to exploit at all.
At this time, Li Yanqing sneered and said, "Jin Ren actually put forward three conditions, I don't know what the other two conditions are?" ”
"This ......." Geng Nanzhong's face was full of embarrassment, and the third condition made him speak.
Li Yanqing stared at Geng Nanzhong's flickering gaze and said with a faint smile: "If I'm not mistaken, one of the conditions should be related to me, right?" ”
"That's it! I'm a little tired, I'll talk about it later, disperse the dynasty! ”
Zhao Huan's face was gloomy and depressed, he originally thought of a way to play the side ball, but he was also completely vetoed by Geng Nanzhong, and for a while, his mood was extremely bad.
He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked through the side door.
Yao Pingzhong shook his head, "It's ridiculous, it's obvious that we won, but in the end, we have to look at the face of the Jin people." ”
He let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
Dong Ping asked Li Yanqing in a low voice, "Does Li Dutong think that the imperial court can take back Hedong Road and Hebei Road in the form of peace talks?" ”
Li Yanqing said coldly: "General Dong hasn't seen it yet, isn't everything the Jin people are doing now preparing for the second attack on Tokyo?" ”
Dong Ping was stunned, Li Yanqing patted him on the shoulder, "Hurry up and recruit soldiers!" Our personal honor and disgrace are not to be worried, and only real preparations are the real way to deal with them. ”
Dong Ping nodded, "I'll go to Caizhou today!" ”
