Bianliang, Daning Palace, Yanying Palace.

It's time to hold the lights. However, outside the hall, there were dozens of armor soldiers standing in a dense turn, and the Yanying Hall was so impassable that not only the yellow doors who were waiting in the palace were driven out, but even the guards who were a little farther away were blocked out of the hall today, and at the moment they were busy in the main hall, serving tea and pouring water for the ministers and generals and serving as the emperor's personal guards, but it was forbidden to rumor that there was already a decree to move to the former palace of the capital Yu Marquis of the original east and west class Zhao Kuangyin, and the leader of the department was responsible for guarding outside the palace, which happened to be the commander of the first army of the iron cavalry, Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin.

The meaning of the emperor's arrangement is obvious, it is not only the favor of the Zhao family father and son, but also to put pressure on the father and son, the military secrets are all in the support of the father and son, so if the secret is leaked in the future, as long as the important ministers involved in the secret are not suspected, they can just take the father and son.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was walking around the hall and burning the charcoal fire vigorously, sighed secretly in his heart, although it was difficult for the old Liu family to bring any practical damage to the imperial court, it really made the young emperor in front of him, who had just ascended the throne for less than two months, a little embarrassed and nervous.

The matter is actually very simple, just this afternoon, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War received an urgent report from the Luzhou front at the same time. Luzhou Yaneidu commanded a unit of more than 2,000 people in five battalions of the Zhaoyi Army under Mu Lingjun's department to be ambushed by Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Southern Expedition Commander Wuning Army Jiedu, the whole army was annihilated, Mu Lingjun was killed, Zhaoyi Army Jiedu made Li Yun gather the remnants of the army and retreat to Shangdang, Zhang Yuanhui crossed the Shangdang and plundered the southern part of Luzhou, the connection between Li Yun and the imperial court has been severed, and the messenger arrived in Bianliang covered in blood with three arrows, and he was still in a coma at this moment.

This is the reason why the new emperor summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss the affairs in the Yanying Palace.

The so-called "civil and military ministers" are actually selective.

Emperor Chai Rong stood high above the Danqi, Feng Dao, who had just been crowned with the title of Taishi, sat in the Wen class, and below him was the Prime Minister Wang Pu, and again Fan Zhen and Li Gu, who had just been reinstated.

Wu Banzhi sat on the book and ordered the Privy Council to be from Ruan, and the grade of Ruan from Ruan had not been promoted, Chai Rong naturally wanted to be a big minister when he ascended the throne, and he naturally wanted to be doubly enveloped by this veteran who had joined the capital division from other towns, so he simply changed the name from Ruan from the king of Xihe County to the king of Qin, and gave him the treatment of Gao Xingzhou during his lifetime, so as to use it to suppress the important generals of the forbidden army brought out by Guo Wei back then.

Fan Zhen and Li Gu are all Wenchen, so although Guo Wei was deposed according to the usual practice when he died of illness, he was immediately activated, that is, he went through the motions, but after he came back, he was listed under Wang Pu, which is also the meaning of the question. However, Cao Ying, Guo Chongchong, Wang Renho, Xiang Xun and other generals of the forbidden army, who were also deposed by Guo Wei on that day, did not receive such treatment, and they are still "studying behind closed doors" at home. There are too many stories of the forbidden army rebelling at the turn of the old and the new in the five generations, and it is not for nothing that the old emperor and the new emperor did this, but it was like this. The number of generals in the hall is much smaller. At this moment, sitting under the fold from Ruan is the same age of the Daimyo Mansion Yin Tianxiong, the military envoy of the Wei King Fu Yanqing.

It stands to reason that since Fu Yanqing succeeded Wang Yin, he should go to Yedu to take office, but until this moment he has remained in Beijing, it is obvious that this position in the outer town is just a formality for him, the new emperor does not have much belly in the military center, and at this moment when the lord is in danger and the country is suspicious, he is naturally unwilling to let Fu Yanqing go out.

As for the reason why Chai Rong favored Fu Yanqing, it is even simpler, Fu Yanqing's eldest daughter, Guangshun was accepted as a righteous daughter by the first emperor Guo Wei in the first year, three days ago, the new son Chai Rong Jinshu enshrined her as the queen of the main palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chai Rong hasn't watched Peking Opera Erjin Palace a thousand years later, his own father-in-law, what else can't he believe?

Standing under Fu Yanqing were Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, two relatives of the forbidden army.

Zhao Kuangyin's steps became lighter as he walked in the hall, and at this moment, the elders in the hall seemed to be making trouble.

Northern Han Koubian, how to deal with it is actually very simple, it is nothing more than sending troops to defend against the enemy, just who to send troops, but there is a dispute between the monarch and the minister at this joint.

"The Northern Han Dynasty is a small country, with no more than ten states and no more than 30,000 households. Sending a general, the army is enough, why not your majesty to recruit in person? "At this moment, the words are in the Taishi, this old fool has completely lost the confused look of the first emperor in the past two months, and he actually sits in the political hall every day to sit in the government, and refuses to pretend to others, during this period of time, the old man's spirit is more and more vigorous, but the person has lost a lot of weight.

Inside and outside the capital, during this period of time, there was a lot of criticism of this "Changle Xianggong", and he was still not invited to the office at a great age, and he was obviously in love with the power and wealth of the stack. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has the power of the Zhongshu Sect, just like a minister, there is not a single soldier in his hands, but he refuses to let go of everything, isn't this self-inflicted bad luck?

The new emperor's temperament is far less docile and humble than the old emperor......

Chai Rong turned his head lightly and said: "Ling Gong, Liu Chong's old thief is raising troops at this time, and it is clear that he is bullying my youth, thinking that my father is driving Yan, and the new emperor does not know the spear, so he does not dare to fight, even if I can endure it, I am afraid that the Daxing Emperor will not be able to bear it underground!" ”

"Your Majesty is indeed young—" Feng Dao's voice was not high. The tone was very firm, without the slightest compromise or the intention of saving face for the emperor.

As soon as these words came out, the Chinese Wu Jun of the palace looked at this old man in surprise, and even Wang Pufan and Li Gu Sanxiang, who had always thought that he knew Feng Dao well, were very surprised, and they didn't know what gun and medicine the old man had eaten today.

Zhi Congruan moved uneasily on the seat, and slowly spoke: "The old minister is willing to lead his troops to the battle, and if he does not drive Liu Kou back, he will not stop the army!" ”

"I can't go—"

"Don't—"

The voices of the two people sounded at the same time, but it was the emperor Chai Rong and Feng Dao who spoke at the same time to stop them.

Chai Rong glanced at Feng Dao, smiled bitterly, and folded in half from Ruan Dao: "The situation of the Jingshi, you have to use Ling Gong's tiger power to deter, not to mention that Ling Gong is old, Emperor Daxing has a will during his lifetime, and then there is a life with knives and guns, you can't work anymore You are old." Feng Linggong is right, I am indeed still young, so I should come this time! ”

"The militaristic state, Your Majesty should not be neglected!" Feng Dao shook his head with a straight face and said softly.

Chai Rong looked at Feng Dao, stood up and said, "This is my country, my world, if I can't protect it." Please live in the virtuous! ”

Having said this, the emperor's tone was already quite unkind, but Feng Dao ignored it at all, he stood up tremblingly, and said slowly: "There is a proverb among the people, when the soldiers and horses move, the earth shakes. Military affairs are different from civil affairs, civil affairs are negligent, and changing course is to make mistakes in military affairs, and corpses are ambushed for thousands of miles. Bleeding and drifting, the head fell off, and it was impossible to pick it up. Your Majesty is still a good ...... for a trustworthy general."

Chai Rong looked at Feng Dao and asked seriously: "Ling Gong, if you talk about Nian Ya, Huo Guogong and I are like, Ling Gong said that he doesn't know soldiers?" ”

Zhi Congruan, who was sitting opposite Feng Dao, moved his butt again, obviously the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers made him quite uncomfortable.

"Li Huairen knows the soldiers, if Your Majesty takes him as the commander, the ministers and the two governments should have no objections!" Feng Dao didn't seem to understand the anger in the emperor's words, and replied lightly.

Chai Rong stood up suddenly, ignoring the fact that the royal servant was desperately glaring at him at the end of the class, stepped down from the Danqi, and said loudly: "I know that the seal of Captain Li's invitation to fight has been sent to the privy council, and I also know that Captain Li is only afraid that he can't wait for my edict to march first. If Li Wenge had been cautious enough to wait for the edict before using troops, he would not have been the mighty General Li in the west! If the Taiwei is in the middle of the court at this moment, he takes the stage to worship the commander, and gives him the power of the Hedong side, I can naturally save worry and effort. However, the Taiwei is not in Guandong at the moment, in Yanqing, in the north of Guanzhong, if he is a soldier, he will not be willing to go near and far to detour to Tongguan, but will only drive directly from Fuzhou to Lanlan, copy Liu's back road, and fold Linggong, am I right? ”

Zhe Congruan owed his ass: "What Your Majesty said is indeed the reason for using soldiers!" ”

Chai Rong walked around the hall: "As King Qin said, I also believe that General Li will not use troops unreasonably. Since the old thief thought that I was the master who could be bullied, I asked him to see, and also asked everyone in the world to see if I was worthy of the emperor of Daxing to entrust him with the trust of Kyushu Wanfang......"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to prove it to anyone,......" Feng Dao's voice rang out stubbornly again, "Emperor Daxing entrusted His Majesty with Sheji, this is the evidence of the ministers and others, and if there are dissent, the ministers should respect the Emperor Daxing and punish them with the police and the opposition." His Majesty is now no longer the Marquis of Taiyuan in terms of festivals, nor is he the king of Jin who has the right to lead the book, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the first person to rule the world in the civil and military affairs, and now the people are born in Li Shu, and they have not tasted the favor of His Majesty, the spring ploughing is imminent, and the flood of the big river is still there, at this time when the internal affairs are not quiet, the government and the opposition are staring at Your Majesty, Your Majesty is willing to give up the people's livelihood and government, and is bent on risking his life, I am afraid that he will bear the weight entrusted by the Emperor Daxing......"

The two monarchs and courtiers insisted on their own words, but they all said reasonably, the hall was stalemate for a while, the Chinese martial arts in the hall were all amazed, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Feng Dao gave people the impression that he was mediocre and did nothing, not to say that he took power and reprimanded, but it was difficult for him to say more words, but what happened today? How could this old man suddenly become so angry that his mind was so unconscious that he suddenly learned Wei Zheng at this moment? The emperor had already explained Mingzhi several times, but he wanted to go against the new emperor and not give the new Ninety-Five Supreme face at all. Although he has been holding power tightly these days, he is still respectful and courteous to Chai Rong, why is it that when it comes to the matter of pro-conquest today, this old man is as stubborn as eating something that he can't digest?

Wang Yi, who was standing behind several prime ministers, was stunned, and opened his mouth several times to make a round, but the pair of monarchs and ministers didn't give him the slightest chance, and almost didn't let him say a word, and looked sideways at the three prime ministers, but they all looked at the scene in the hall with their eyebrows twisted and thoughtful, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

"I don't mean to underestimate the enemy......" Chai Rong walked up to Feng Dao and stared at Feng Dao's eyes and said, "I just don't want to hide in Bianliang City and be laughed at by the old thief of the Liu family." If I don't go to the expedition, not only will the old thief want to deceive me, but I am afraid that in this Bianjing City, I don't know how many people will have different intentions. In order to keep the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I must prove to the subjects of the world that I not only have this qualification, but also have this ability! Only in this way will those undercurrent of dissent be dissipated, and the people of the society will suffer less from the sword and soldiers—and I will not have to leave an obscure reputation in the history books for killing heroes......"

I want to say this bluntly and sincerely, the ministers in the palace are all the top smart people in the world, where is there anything I can't understand?

Although the words were said to Feng Dao, everyone knew that even Zhao Kuangyin understood that the "different intentions" in the emperor's mouth did not refer to the stubborn old man who had been the prime minister of the four dynasties in his last years. Dispel the slightest reckless thought in their hearts to avoid the bloody purge.

In the final analysis, despite the different temperaments, the heart of the new emperor ...... It is still benevolent and kind......

It stands to reason that when it comes to this part, Feng Dao should abide by his duty as a minister and retire from class to apologize, but Feng Dao looked directly at the emperor without dodging his eyes, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's heart, the ministers are clear, and with this trace of benevolence, you can know that Emperor Daxing is wise and wise to pass on His Majesty to the throne." Your Majesty's heart is good, but after all, Your Majesty has rarely experienced battles, and unlike the first emperor, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and there is no room for negligence. If Li Wenge is defeated, His Majesty can withdraw the feudal domain and choose another general to guard the western region. However, His Majesty personally conquered, once defeated, not only would the government and the opposition shake the world restlessly, as His Majesty said, those who have different intentions will not despise Wang Gang even more, and will not see his prestige and bring humiliation on themselves. Everything is a matter of raising troops, victory or defeat is between the two, His Majesty himself can take this risk, but the court can't take it. The old minister is deaf, and Emperor Meng Daxing is entrusted by His Majesty, if he sits back and watches His Majesty put himself in danger and does not admonish him, the ministers will really have no face to see Emperor Daxing in the underground......"

It's also true......

Standing in Feng Dao's position, stability is the overriding principle at present, if you can't take risks, you can't take risks, it is also for the sake of stabilizing Chai Rong's throne, and it is also for the prestige of the new monarch...... Chai Rong was a little moved in an instant......

He knew this Changle Xianggong very well, this old guy had served the monarch more than the fingers of his own two hands, and it didn't matter to him who was the emperor - whoever became the emperor would still be his prime minister, even the king of Yidi in the Northern Dynasty was no exception. With his temperament, it was really pointless to spend so much effort arguing for the sake of defending the position of a reckless monarch.

Perhaps in his opinion, he and Guo Wei, the godfather and son, are indeed different from the previous monarchs of previous dynasties, which makes him feel that the prestige of the new emperor who has risen to his age is worth his attention and energy to maintain......

Indeed, once defeated, even if the emperor can survive Bianjing, I am afraid that his prestige will be greatly damaged......

Chai Rong was quite angry in his heart - why did Lao Linggong always think about the result of defeating the battle when it was my turn to fight? Could it be that the difference between himself and his father-in-law Guo Wei is really that far? As soon as it's your turn, you're really going to lose the battle......

As a monarch, this weakness is absolutely unacceptable, even against these of his own cronies and courtiers, this weakness cannot be shown, otherwise the emperor himself will not be able to continue to do it.

"Ling Gong, relying on the strength of others, maybe I can make it easier, but if I want to keep the cause left to me by Emperor Daxing, I must rely on myself, if the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain......" Chai Rong said softly.

"Your Majesty is not a mountain ......" Feng Dao refused to pretend at all, nor did he refuse to leave half face for the new emperor.

"Or for the king, or for the general, Your Majesty can only choose one!" Feng Dao stared straight into the emperor's eyes and said slowly.

"Tang Taizong led the troops in the twenty-eighth year, was named General Tiance at the age of twenty-four, and the world was peaceful at the age of twenty-nine, and I have stood up this year!" Chai Rong's chest was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and spit out such a sentence.

"Your Majesty is not Tang Taizong!" Feng Dao's tone was still cold, so cold that the Chinese martial arts in the hall straightened goosebumps one by one.

"Your Majesty must understand that it was the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty who leveled the four seas with armored soldiers, not the later Emperor Taizongwen. With the heroic martial arts of Emperor Wen, the prosperity of Zhenguan, and the great martial arts are all taken from the hands of the generals of Wei Gong and Ying Gong. In the seventeenth year, Taizong insisted on conquest in person, and then there was the defeat of Liaodong, and the lessons of the previous car must not be ignored by His Majesty! Probably thinking that just such a dry sentence was not enough, Feng Dao explained lightly.

As an emperor, he still has to recruit himself, which is to bring humiliation on himself, Li Shimin is like this, besides, Your Majesty?

These words are hidden behind the words, and though they are not spoken, who in the intellect of the temple does not understand?

Chai Rong clenched his fists, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with someone at the Jiebei Lane Pavilion at the beginning of last year.

"Crossing the Liaoshui, pulling out the famous city, breaking the enemy's heroic division with tens of thousands of 6 divisions more than 200,000, the enemy chieftain and marshal knelt at the military gate to bind himself and surrender, Ling Gong, such a 'defeat', I have never heard of it!" Speaking of this military insight, it seems that only that guy can really be called "extraordinary......

It's a pity that Feng Dao is not a Tang fan......

"If you want to destroy your country but you don't lose it, if you want to recover the four counties and lose the four counties, you will lose the battle!" Feng Dao paused word by word and said very seriously.

At this moment, Fan Zhen and the other Wenchen all looked at Feng Dao blankly, their eyes full of admiration and respect.

This is Feng Dao, the real Feng Dao!

What do you say about discipline and loyalty, what kind of scolding of the four surnamed slaves, real soldiers, in the face of real principles, never give an inch!

In the last years of Zhenguan, when the famous male lord returned from the ice and snow of Liaodong, if the four surnamed slaves who had also served four masters were still alive, it must be the same Feng Dao's demeanor and general words at that time......

Seven years ago, at the head of Bianliang City, how many ministers and brave generals curled up on the ground, and kept silent in front of the martial arts and military might of a certain foreign monarch......

This is a vast number of sentient beings, the Bodhisattva cannot live, only His Majesty can live!

He insisted, he was stubborn, just because in his opinion, that was the truth, that was the value of life!

He's obscure, he's dumb, just because in his opinion, it's a small way, that's an insignificant stump!

At this moment, Feng Dao stood alone in purple clothes, just like Wei Zheng three hundred years ago.
