Chapter Twenty-Three: An Amazing Choice

The voice in the hall did not sound for long, and Gao Ze saw the displeasure on the face of the Son of Heaven, and immediately shouted: "Quiet, quiet!" ”

The ministers woke up in shock, only to find that they were in the main hall, and they were discussing national affairs at the moment, in front of His Majesty, it was rude. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info immediately the ministers were solemn and became serious. King Qi was still shocked and didn't reply.

A hint of discoloration flashed in the eyes of Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, although he also agreed with Yang Lian's words and wanted to teach Li Hongyi a lesson, but Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, felt that Yang Lian's suggestion should not be too big.

Yang Lian had long expected that everyone in the court would be so surprised, he slowly glanced around, and saw that everyone gradually calmed down, so he said: "Your Majesty, Li Hongyi is capricious, and he will inevitably kill himself if he commits many injustices." This person is a snake and a rat, swinging between Datang and Wu Yue, the purpose is to win the greatest benefits, in addition, it is to provoke disputes between Datang and Wu Yue, so that he can have a chance to breathe. Your Majesty, Weichen suggested, send troops to attack Suzhou, deter the Qian father and son, once Wu Yueguo was taken Suzhou, the whole country would inevitably be shaken, and then the relationship between Wu Yueren and Li Hongji was broken, at that time, Li Hongji had to choose the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Hongyi, who is in a dilemma, will become fish and meat, and he will be slaughtered by knives. ”

Li Hongji, the king of Yan, listened from the sidelines, and unconsciously raised his eyebrows, Yang Lian actually agreed to send troops to Suzhou, which was roughly the same as his original plan. If Yang Lian was fighting hard and opposing the dispatch of troops at today's court meeting, Li Hongji would have already had a way to deal with it, but Yang Lian did not take the usual path and agreed to his request for the court meeting a few days ago, but it made him scratch his head. He couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Sun Sheng, hoping that he could come up with some ideas.

However, Sun Sheng was even more shocked, he opened his mouth wide, turned sideways slightly, and looked at Yang Lian in a daze, looking incredulous.

Li Hongji saw him like this, and sighed slightly in his heart, at this moment, it seems that Sun Sheng can't expect to come up with any good ideas, Li Hongji's eyes flickered, thinking about what Yang Lian was going to do next?

When Li Jing, the son of heaven, heard this, his face was a little hesitant, Wu Yueren was a pain in his heart, he was afraid and hated Wu Yueren, what he was afraid of was that the Tang Dynasty was defeated by Wu Yueren several times, and what he hated was that he wanted to defeat Wu Yue, and he vomited his evil anger. After a little muttering, Li Jing asked seriously and uncertainly: "Yang Aiqing, you mean that you want to attack Suzhou?" ”

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." Yang Lian replied.

"So, who will be the general?" Li Jing asked again.

Suddenly, the hall became very quiet, everyone knew that King Yan wanted to send troops, to seize military power, if he could win, then his prestige in the Praetorian Guard, must be rising, in the court, with the support of the prime minister, he was even more in the sky, he could overwhelm King Qi, even if he could not succeed in winning the heir, but with the character of King Qi, it would inevitably cause great pressure on him.

In this battle, the King of Qi fought against Li Hongji, the king of Yan, and Sun Sheng, the prime minister, and he was indeed defeated, and once the military power fell, it was extremely unfavorable for him. Now that Yang Lian is back, although he agrees to send troops, nine times out of ten, he must lead the troops himself.

Thinking of this, the expressions on the faces of the ministers became vivid, some people were worried, some people were happy, and some people had the intention of watching a good show. Yang Lian was in the back row, and he could clearly see the side faces of everyone, it seemed that there were not many people who supported King Qi in this court. It's no wonder, after all, he is older, not much younger than Li Jing, the country falls into his hands, maybe he can last a few years, and he has no son, this disadvantage makes him not get too many people to support, but Li Jing's eldest son, young and promising, although the edge is exposed, but as he grows older, it will inevitably change.

Yang Lian's eyes swept over King Qi, and seeing that he looked depressed and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Lian knew that King Qi had a cowardly personality, so he seemed hesitant. I sighed in my heart, thinking that things had changed, and I had no choice but to do so. Yesterday's ambush made him feel a deep crisis, and the person behind the scenes is still a mystery, Zeng Yiling investigated for a long time, but he didn't find out, so he couldn't make targeted deployments.

After his gaze swept over King Qi, Yang Lian looked at Li Hongji, with a shallow smile in his eyes, he arched his hand and said, "Weichen recommended the Runzhou Jiedu envoy to send troops to attack Suzhou!" ”

Runzhou Festival Degree Envoy? Isn't it Li Hongji, the king of Yan? This sentence was like pouring water into an oil pot, and the hall suddenly became lively, everyone talked about it, King Qi opened his mouth wide, and the same was true for Li Hongji and Sun Sheng.

Li Jing seemed to be frightened, as a king, he understands the battles of the court, in fact, the court also needs a certain degree of fighting, otherwise, if the courtiers work together, he, the emperor, will be hollowed out. However, Yang Lian, who is the quasi-son-in-law of King Qi, actually abandoned King Qi and turned to support Li Hongji, and even played it himself, hoping that Li Hongji, the king of Yan, could lead the troops, how could he not surprise him? Li Jing's throat moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then he gasped for breath, and said tentatively in a tone of disbelief: "Yang Aiqing, who do you say is leading the troops?" ”

With these words, the hall became quiet again, but the ministers looked sideways, and everyone looked at Yang Lian, trying to discern it, did they hear it wrong just now?

Yang Lian coughed, his voice was loud and powerful, and said: "Weichen Yang Lian recommended the Runzhou Jiedu envoy to send troops to Suzhou to raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty." ”

After a brief period of surprise, the ministers became as noisy as a vegetable market, and this time they were sure that they had heard correctly, Yang Lian had indeed recommended Li Hongji as the commander and attacked Suzhou.

Gao Ze shouted loudly: "Silence, silence!" ”

With Gao Ze's voice, the ministers regained their silence again, Li Jing took a deep breath, looked at Yang Lian suspiciously, and asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly, and said very seriously: "Runzhou Jiedu envoy Yunwen Yunwu, since he advocates sending troops to attack, there must be a good strategy in his chest, because Weichen agrees with King Yan, King Yan's statement." When Yang Lian said the word Yan Wang, he deliberately bit his accent.

Li Hongji listened, frowned, although faintly felt bad, but Li Hongji couldn't refuse, he has been trying to take charge of the military, now Yang Lian meets his wishes, if he refuses, what will the court think of him, so, even if Yang Lian is suspected of having a trick, but Li Hongji can only accept it.

However, Sun Sheng reacted very quickly, he immediately came out of the ranks, put his hands on his chest, held the wat, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Yang Jiedu's words are very reasonable, and the old minister is willing to recommend King Yan as the marshal of the army, and he is fully responsible for seizing Suzhou and destroying Wu Yue. “

Sun Sheng was afraid that Yang Lian would have the right to supervise the army, so he hurriedly squeezed Yang Lian with words, and in front of Li Jing, he fought for greater interests for Li Hongji, the king of Yan. After saying this, Sun Sheng was afraid that Yang Lian would refute, so he glanced back at Yang Lian.

Yang Lian is quite determined, with a light and breezy appearance, which makes people unable to see the depth.

Li Jing listened, he couldn't help but nodded, he was also inclined to send troops, Yang Lian's words just now were very much in line with his heart, after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed: "Since this is the case, I am approved." ”

When the ministers heard this, their expressions were different, King Qi lowered his head, he wanted to ask clearly, why Yang Lian said today was different from yesterday, making him happy, Li Jingsui knew that Yang Lian could not betray him at all and go to Li Hongji, but today's behavior, he couldn't explain it. I have to plan to ask after the meeting, what is going on?

The matter was so decided, and then the court agreed on some trivial matters, since it is necessary to send troops, money and food are essential, and military salaries must also be in place, considering that the New Year is not far away, and it is also cold, the troops will have to wait. In fact, after the beginning of spring, it is not a good opportunity, it is the season of farming, but now that the Tang Dynasty has inherited the previous dynasty, the government military system has been destroyed, and the soldiers are mostly hired, which has little to do with farming.

The time of sending troops is set after the beginning of spring, but the grain and grass must be prepared in advance, the court meeting discussed for a long time, and finally decided, the courtiers of the Yan Wang party are in high spirits, talking highly, endlessly, full of hope for this battle, but it is the Qi Wang party, morale is low, most of them are silent, and they are secretly thinking, what kind of medicine is sold in this Yang Lian gourd?

The matter was discussed for an hour, the ministers were dry-mouthed, and Li Jing also felt a little sleepy, so he asked Li Hongji, the king of Yan, Sun Sheng, the prime minister, and the household department and the military department to discuss the matter.

Li Hongji is very excited, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, although he has been in the army for a while, but it is the first time to lead the army, so he is particularly excited, feeling that although the Qian father and son have been operating in Suzhou for decades, but there is only one Suzhou City, there is almost no danger, and it is not difficult to take Suzhou City.

After the court meeting dispersed, Li Hongji immediately pulled Prime Minister Sun Sheng to discuss the matter. Left behind Li Jingsui, the king of Qi with a depressed face. Li Jingsui was in a very bad mood, he wanted to wait for Yang Lian to give him an explanation, but when he raised his head, he found that Yang Lian had disappeared.

Li Jingsui clenched his fists, his body trembled slightly, and several ministers stepped forward, not knowing how to speak for a while.

"King Qi, Yang Jiedu, why is this?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, it turns out that he is a person sent by King Yan, and King Qi really mistrusted him." Some people are not angry.

This person's words were agreed by several people, and everyone was talking nonsense, obviously very disgusted by Yang Lian's sudden backlash.

King Qi felt very powerless, he waved his hand, sighed, and said, "You all retreat first, this king wants to be quiet." With that, the King of Qi walked towards the outside of the palace with some staggering steps, got out of the imperial city, got into the carriage in a distraught, and went home.

The news quickly reached the ears of King Yan, and Li Hongji was very disdainful of this cowardly uncle, but he still didn't understand what Yang Lian's plan was? After discussing with Sun Sheng for a while, both of them felt that as long as they were careful and steady, they could be invincible. As for Yang Lian, any conspiracy he has, in the face of absolute strength, he will be turned into dirt.

The two discussed for a long time, and the matter of sending troops to Suzhou can be said to be hidden from Wu Yueren, so it depends on the ability of the commanders of the two sides to unify the army, of course, the strength of the army is also a very important part, so Li Hongji decided to go to his father and ask for more soldiers and horses, and at the same time, he also wanted to pull the Runzhou army to Suzhou to improve the possibility of victory.
