Chapter 425: The Prince, Please
However, although Zhao Quan opened his eyes, he still remained silent.
Zhao Ziji was embarrassed, so he could only ask Cao Gang: "Cao Aiqing is the chief minister of military aircraft, so you can't move lightly...... Isn't it...... Discuss it again? ”
Cao Gang knew that Zhao Ziji would not dare to make this decision, so he naturally would not force it, so he played: "What His Highness said is very true, but Shandong cannot be without a leader......"
"Yes!" Zhao Ziji nodded and said to Cao Gang: "According to Cao Aiqing's words, I will first transfer Li Ji to Jinan Mansion and preside over government affairs!" ”
Li Ji is the son of Li Zhun, who has been an official outside for many years, and has made meritorious contributions to the governance of Shen County, this reward, I believe that my father will not have an opinion! Zhao Ziji secretly glanced at Zhao Quan, and saw that Zhao Quan really didn't have an unhappy look, so he was a lot more relieved.
The decision to transfer Li Ji to Shandong was not opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and after the retreat, Zhao Ziji left Ji Ping, Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan behind.
Zhao Quan only opened his mouth at this time and asked Cao Gang: "Cao Aiqing, is the war in northern Lubei not going well?" ”
It turned out that Zhao Quan thought that something was wrong in Shandong, so Cao just now took the initiative to invite Ying to Shandong to preside over the overall situation.
Cao Gang observed Zhao Quan's face and felt that it was time, so he fell to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is derelict in his duties, when he was dealing with the report last night, he found an urgent report from the border army!" ”
After that, Cao Gang presented the folded hands in his arms, and the eunuch presented it to Zhao Quan for inspection.
Zhao Quan flipped through the fold, and then frowned.
"Bastard!" Zhao Quan shook off the report and said hatefully: "The 300,000 troops of the Liao State attacked at the beginning of the month, why did the report delay until now?" ”
"The old minister is negligent, please confess the emperor!" Cao Gang is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, he has already made up his mind to go to Shandong, this emperor's temperament is really not good with himself, Xiao Mo is right, only Li Zhun can make him obey!
Zhao Quan was expressionless, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you negligent?" ”
An emperor is naturally not a fool, Cao Gang, as a privy envoy, actually didn't even know that the enemy army was coming, so what is the use of this privy envoy?
What's more, Cao Gang is also an old courtier, Zhao Quan will believe that he was negligent for a while, and did not find out about this report related to the survival of the country?
So Zhao Quan has to ask clearly!
Without Zhao Quan's order, Cao Gang could only bow to the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, at that time, when the court was in trouble, the King of Qin took power, the emperor was seriously ill, and the old minister did not dare to report!" ”
"Then you will let the Liao army attack? How is the war going in the north now? Zhao Quan asked with concern.
Cao Gang said: "The 80,000 troops of Huyan Liancheng and General Liang are holding each other in Taiyuan, and now they are waiting for the Liao army to come back!" ”
"Now that the soldiers are in the city, is there any room for relaxation?" Zhao Quan glanced at Ji Ping.
Sure enough, after Zhao Quan heard about the Liao army's attack, his first reaction was to sue for peace!
Ji Ping shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that this time, the Liao State is bullying me and there is no one in the court, and I will not give up!" ”
Zhao Quan slapped the table and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”
As an emperor, if the enemy country invades, of course, there will be some anger.
Cao Gang waited for Zhao Quan to get angry, and took this opportunity to hurriedly speak: "Your Majesty, the Liao State is too bullying, why should our dynasty be afraid of him?" ”
Zhao Quan calmed down when he heard this, looked at Cao Gang and said, "You get up and speak first!" ”
Cao Gang stood up and thanked him, although Zhao Quan didn't blame himself, but he saved the title of Cao Aiqing, it seemed that Zhao Quan was still a little angry.
"You mean, a war with the Liao State?" Zhao Quan asked with a frown.
Cao Gang nodded and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this battle is unavoidable, otherwise I will be a foreign country from now on, where is the majesty of my ancestors?" ”
Ji Ping also nodded and said, "The minister also seconded it!" ”
Zhao Quan asked: "Then according to the two of you, who is handsome?" ”
Cao Gang and Ji Ping glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "It's none other than Lord Li!" ”
Li Zhun has just returned from a great victory in Shandong, which is exactly what the army wants, of course, he is the only one!
But Zhao Quan frowned and said, "Li Zhun is a civil servant, and he ...... Liao is not as good as Shandong! ”
Seeing Zhao Quan's hesitation, Shi Zhongyuan said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one more person, how about Xiao Mo, the white-clothed minister?" ”
"Xiao Mo?" Zhao Quan shook his head again and said, "It's too young, besides, it's ......" After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Quan continued: "Besides, I agreed to his marriage with An Ning, Xiao Mo is a concubine, if he is allowed to be in charge, it will violate the ancestral system!" ”
Shi Zhongyuan was unwilling, and continued to admonish Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, if the country does not exist, what is the use of the ancestral system? Lord Xiao is good at using soldiers, Yizhou battle, defeated the White Lotus Sect, an unprecedented battle in history, he is really a talent who has passed through the heavens and latitudes! Such resourcefulness, if you can't serve the country because of the shackles of the ancestral system, it will be too much! ”
Zhao Quan also sighed, Xiao Mo's talent really surprised him, but ...... What to do?
You, Cao Gang, even hid the war at the border from me, and after I announced his marriage to the princess, you would tell me that the country needed Xiao Mo?
Are you kidding me?
Zhao Quan was unhappy, and said to Shi Zhongyuan: "But Xiao Mo is now returning to his hometown to guard his mother's filial piety, how can he be called?" ”
All right! When filial piety was involved, Shi Zhongyuan had no choice but to remain silent.
So, the hall fell silent, and the monarchs and ministers all frowned, and then pondered.
The people in the court from beginning to end were not suitable candidates, and in the end, Cao Gang and Ji Ping couldn't help but sigh.
Speaking of which, Li Zhun is the most suitable, but Zhao Quan said that Li Zhun is a Wenchen, and the Liao State is not a White Lotus Sect......
What to do?
Just when everyone was confused, suddenly Zhao Ziji knelt down in front of Zhao Quan, Zhao Quan looked at the prince who was bowing to the ground in confusion, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Is it scary?
Zhao Quan was unhappy in his heart, this prince, why did he kneel at every turn?
Is there any trace of the prince's appearance?
People are like this, they only think about problems from their own point of view, and Zhao Quan is the same, he has to look at Zhao Ziji's weak temperament, but he doesn't know why Zhao Ziji's temperament has become like this!
This is not because Zhao Ziji has not been taken seriously for many years, and he has been suppressed by Zhao Zixuan, so it has caused him to have some psychological inferiority, and his temperament has become weak!
Zhao Ziji leaned on the ground and said: "Father, son, please go to Taiyuan and go on behalf of your father!" ”
"Huh?"
As soon as Zhao Ziji's words came out, not only Ji Ping, Cao Gang, and Shi Zhongyuan, but even Zhao Quan was surprised.
Is this still the gentle and elegant King Yu with a temperament like water? He actually took the initiative to ask Ying to take command and want to go to the battlefield to fight?
