Chapter 170: Agreed
I really didn't expect the king to come up with such a trick, when Zhou Bian's voice landed, the ministers had not yet reacted, seeing the faces that were still stunned, Zhou Bian was happy in his heart, it seems that the trick of plagiarizing from Sun Quan is really good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But I didn't think about it, at this moment, "Ah! A girl's scream rang out suddenly, attracting everyone's attention to the back door of the main hall, beside Zhou Bian.
Zhou Bian was also frightened, and after identifying the direction of the sound, he turned his head unnaturally, but saw Liu Ruoshui holding a bamboo slip in his hand, standing at the back door of the main hall in a daze, with a big mouth, wide eyes, and a look of surprise on his face.
Obviously, Liu Ruoshui came from **, and seeing that even the king was full of people looking at him, Liu Ruoshui knew that he had made a mistake, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, she reacted quite quickly, and immediately lowered her head and ran to the king in small steps, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and said, "The slave girl just received the news from Xinzheng, and she sent it over." I didn't want to just walk to the door, but I saw the king draw his sword and slash at the case, seeing the king fierce, the slave and maid were startled, and they were stunned, but they didn't want to endure it for a while or couldn't help it, and accidentally called out, disturbing the king and all the adults, please punish the king! ”
A teenage girl knelt on the ground and trembled, I saw the pitiful look, and who would really punish her, so Zhou Bian spoke, "It's okay, you can back down after handing over the news." ”
"Thank you, King!" After kowtowing again, Liu Ruoshui handed over the bamboo slip in his hand, and then went backwards and returned the same way, disappearing outside the back door.
After seeing Liu Ruoshui leave, he looked at the ministers whose tears had not yet dried, and saw that no one had a seizure, so Zhou Bian breathed a sigh of relief. I let Liu Ruoshui go, but if there was really any minister who caught and disturbed the court, I was afraid that Liu Ruoshui would still shed his skin if he didn't die, but fortunately, most of the ministers were also frightened by his actions just now, and they didn't pay too much attention to the little maid.
But the appearance still has to be enough, so Zhou Bian snorted heavily, and opened the bamboo slip. This bamboo slip is obviously not the original, but translated by Liu Ruoshui through a secret letter, it should be that she knew that she was in a meeting, and Concubine Liu or the Queen Mother made her own opinion, and Liu Ruoshui translated it first and then sent it.
After reading it, Zhou Bian understood after a little thought, it was neither east nor south, neither west nor north, isn't that Luoyang, which is surrounded by South Korea? Although Shen Buxian has not yet entered the court, he is still very clear about the movements of the court, and it seems that he is not a simple person. Look at the date of this letter, it was actually written the day before the letter sent by Kuaima in the morning, that is to say, Liu Qiu first heard Shen Buxian's words, so he wrote this letter, and the next day he heard Han Gongzi Zhaofu drink and lose words, only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem, so he sent it in the fastest way, although the letter received in the morning was written a day later, but it arrived half a day earlier. However, in the past day and a half, the carriage has dropped the pedestrians, and if you ride a horse, you are afraid that it will be faster.
But now is not the time to think about this, so Zhou Bian raised the bamboo slip in his hand and said loudly, "This is the news sent by my royal spy from Xinzheng again, but what I said is what the Korean courtiers said, which is basically the same as the drunken gaffe in the letter in the morning. Ladies and gentlemen, at this very moment, the king has decided to personally lead his troops south to resist the enemy, and this matter cannot be changed. ”
After that, Zhou Bian threw the bamboo slip in his hand in front of the Taishi and the others who were still kneeling. The Taishi hurriedly picked it up in two steps, and after reading it in a hurry, he handed it to the young master. After everyone watched it, there was another discussion.
After a while, I saw the Taishi kneeling on the ground and prostrate two steps, stepped forward and said loudly, "King, even if the king wants to treat the old man like this case, the old man must advise my king, don't go to the danger in person, the king!" Saying that, the Taishi slammed his head on the ground and refused to get up again.
Followed by the young master, "The king, the old man is also willing to admonish each other with death, the king must not take risks, this is the responsibility of the courtiers, if the king sends troops, where will the ministers be placed?" Saying that, the young master couldn't stand on his knees.
Bai Guining was naturally not far behind, so it was like an infection, one after another, and after a while, in the hall, he knelt on the ground in an uproar, and Zhou Bian looked at it, but he touched the ground with his face, and he couldn't see a face in front of him.
Although I don't know how many of them are against their will, and how many of them are following the crowd, but in such a situation, I really need to think about whether to change my mind. Alas, the Son of Heaven can't do whatever he wants, Zhou Bian couldn't help but think of the film and television works in later generations whenever the emperor wanted to make a major decision, he was also persuaded by the ministers to kneel on the ground, but it seems that the talented and heroic lord finally proved that his decision was right. But how did they do it in the face of such a situation of retribution and death?
After thinking about it, Zhou Bian still shook his head, alas, let's deal with the situation in front of him first. In front of him, he couldn't really kill him, otherwise he would really be alone.
So Zhou Bian put on a helpless expression, stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please hurry up, this king will not go, then let Pang Xing lead the troops, General Pang is still good with the troops, and he should be competent." There is no need for you to die, this king knows that he is wrong, and there are only so many words, and this king will take it back. ”
Taishi and the others wiped away their old tears and said, "Don't dare, the king is not wrong, it's just that the ministers are stupid and don't conform to the king's wishes, which provokes the king to commit danger himself, which is really the fault of the ministers." Saying that, the ministers took each other's hands, stood up one after another, bowed to the king and thanked him, and then sat down in their respective places, and finally returned to the normal situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone sat down, they heard the voice of the young master, "No, the king, aren't we determined to stick to Luoyang, and wait for the Han soldiers to retreat under the pressure of the princes, so why do we have to take the initiative to stop the Han army?" ”
As soon as the young master's voice fell, he immediately got the echo of the ministers, "Yes, why do you have to take the initiative to block it, wouldn't it be better to block it with Luoyang Gaocheng?" Fang Cai only thought about persuading the king not to levy in person, but forgot to think about it carefully. ”
Seeing that the ministers were discussing, Zhou Bian couldn't help laughing, and was about to make a sound, but found that Bai Gui and Ning Yue both nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Bai Qing, Ning Qing, what do you think?" ”
After the two of them gave in for a while, Bai Gui opened his mouth first, "King, Korea is adjacent to the land of my Wangji, if the Han army is ready, then the morning will come, and we will not have time to complete the king's plan, such as moving back grain from Gongyi, withdrawing craftsmen from Chengzhou, and recruiting troops from the outskirts of Luoyang, so we must take the initiative to send troops to buy time for these things, if we can buy a little more time, then Luoyang City will be fully prepared, and we will hope to hold Luoyang." I wonder if the king had this in mind. ”
Zhou Bian turned his gaze to Ning Yue again, and the latter immediately bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty also means the same. ”
looked at the ministers again, but they were all puzzled or stunned, but Zhou Bian nodded, among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, it is enough to have two ideas that agree with him. So Zhou Bian praised, "What this king is worried about is indeed so." General Pang has been following this king for a long time, and his ability to lead troops is known to this king, so how about shooting General Pang to lead 4,000 troops south? ”
Taishi and the others who reacted hurriedly arched their hands, "The minister thinks that General Pang can, but I don't know if the four thousand soldiers of our army can block the Korean army, and I don't know how long they can stop it." ”
"It seems that you are still not at ease, then the king of Ming Japan will gather 4,000 troops and watch the troops outside the Dingding Gate, so that you can see if my mighty king division can be used, and it should be used to see off General Pang?"
"It's okay, depending on the king, the ministers are just worried, but they don't question my king." The Taishi and the others looked at each other and arched their hands and said.
"In that case, now that time is urgent, how about you go your separate ways as planned?" Zhou Bian really didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, it had been more than three days since Liu Qiu wrote the letter, and he didn't know where Han Jun had gone, but most of them hadn't approached Zhou, because there were spies sprinkled evenly around Wang Ji, and there was no report at this time.
I didn't want Tian Yi to speak suddenly, "King, since the old man has already voted for the royal family, he is a member of the royal family, and he dares not to do his best." There are nearly 2,000 slaves in the courtier's house, and when this time of crisis, the ministers are willing to take all of them out for the king's use, and their lives will be handed over to the king, all at the king's disposal! ”
"Okay, Tian Aiqing has a heart, and this king has accepted it. At that time, his casualty reward is equal to the treatment of my royal soldiers, um, but your family still has five hundred people, Tian Qing can watch the rest of the nobles in the city for this king, and there must be someone in his hands. It's just that when you stick to Luoyang, this king will personally sit in the town and personally command the dispatch, if your slaves are killed and injured, I hope Tian Qing will not blame this king! "Actually, Zhou Bian had this intention for a long time, but it was not good to bring it up in the court, and he wanted to find Tian Yi again in private, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring it up, so that Zhou Bian couldn't help but look at him a few times, his treasure can be bet big.
After Tian Yi didn't dare to say anything, he nodded and accepted Zhou Bian's suggestion, seeing that Tian Yi took the lead, and the rest of the nobles in Luoyang who were close to the royal family were not far behind, first Zhao Biao expressed his attitude, and he was also willing to sacrifice eight hundred slaves, and the rest were also three hundred and two hundred. Can come to the meeting is naturally close to the royal family of the old Luoyang nobles, the rest of the people who are not close to the royal family will not be called to hold such an important court meeting, although there are not many only six or seven to the meeting, but the Luoyang old nobles at this time fully reflected, to Zhou Bian's surprise nearly 4,000 people at once, and Tian Zhao and others also promised to persuade the rest of the Luoyang nobles to also sacrifice domestic slaves, to say that Zhou Bian was happy in his heart, smiling like a flower, and his confidence in defending Luoyang City was much greater, if he was fifty percent sure before, Now it's up to six.
However, these nobles' slaves still have to be managed in a decentralized manner, otherwise if any of them have bad intentions and take the opportunity to make trouble, they are afraid that no matter how carefully they prepare, they will collapse in an instant. Or his own people are more relieved, so Zhou Bian instructed the young master to personally accept the reorganization of these house slaves, and then send Zhao Biao to the suburbs to recruit new soldiers and strong men, of course, among all these new forces, the middle-level officers must be members of the royal family, this young master naturally knows this, and there is no need for Zhou Bian to specifically instruct him.
The emergency court meeting was almost here, so after Zhou Bian's encouraging words, all the ministers said goodbye together, and everyone knew that since they were already in the same boat with the royal family, they had to do their best to do their best and do their own things as soon as possible.
Seeing everyone leave in a hurry, Zhou Bian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would take a lot of words to say that everyone agreed to stick to Luoyang, and to muster up the confidence and fighting spirit of the ministers, but now it seems that the ministers can still be united with the royal family, and almost all opinions have been agreed, at least on the surface.
But I never expected to completely count on these ministers, who knows what is thinking under a respectful appearance, not to mention that there are so many unstable factors among the nobles of Luoyang City, Zhou Bian does not dare to relax at all, no matter what, the first blocking battle must be won, otherwise it is not enough to make the people of Luoyang trust the royal family, not enough to suppress these unstable factors, this is also one of the reasons why Zhou Bian has to stop the Korean army outside Luoyang City, and what Zhou Bian envisions is that he can only win by leading his troops forward, I'll have to think of a way to get there.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bian walked to the apse.
