Chapter Twenty-Three: Invitation to War
"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, I heard that the Lion Rock bandits were ravaging the people, and it was really difficult for the widows to be uneasy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now he dares to openly attack the widow's heirs, and the widow will definitely uproot them, and then the first evil will be crushed and ashes will be scattered, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Do you think Aiqing can lead the troops to battle? ”
Hearing this, Qian Zhou and the other civil and military officials all frowned, because at this time it was the autumn harvest, and the military tun was pointing to these few days a year, but if the army was raised again, the autumn harvest would definitely have an impact.
But Huang Hao and Yan Yu's eyes lit up and their eyebrows were overjoyed, this was a good opportunity for Yan Yu to make meritorious contributions and then compete for Jiang Wei's military power!
Huang Hao thought for a few breaths, looked back at Yan Yu who looked expectant, gave him a reassuring look, and then went out of class and said:
"Your Majesty Shengming, the slave thinks that the right general Yan Yu is quite military, and he is always ready to open up territory for His Majesty and conquer the world.
Hearing Huang Hao's recommendation, Yan Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said loudly:
"Minister Yan Yu begs to go to war, not to seek merit, but to be able to saddle the horse for His Majesty and sweep away Xiaoxiao!"
Hearing Huang Hao's words, Liu Chan glanced at Yan Yu, who was looking courteous, although he was a little moved, but he was a little hesitant when he was about to exit.
Liu Chan is not stupid, he also roughly knows how many catties Yan Yu has, and he belongs to the kind of person who is okay with his lip service, but he is not good in reality.
Looking at Zhuge Zhan and several other generals, Liu Chan originally wanted to ask Huang Chong to fight, but he was even more hesitant, because Huang Chongke was Jiang Wei's hardcore supporter, and letting him fight, meritorious service meant that he had boosted the general's prestige, which was not conducive to his rule, and he was unwilling.
"This ......"
Just as Liu Chan hesitated, a majestic voice sounded, which immediately made him frown.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops and start a war at this time."
It was Chen Zhou who spoke, the famous Confucian master in Shu, and the current vacant position of Guanglu doctor, but he had a great right to speak, and even Liu Chan had to pay attention to it.
Huang Hao saw that Qian Zhou was bad for his good deeds, and immediately disliked it, and his slightly gloomy gaze swept over Qian Zhou, and he snorted coldly to express the dissatisfaction in his heart.
And Yan Yu, who was originally in his hands, clenched his fists also showed his anger at this time.
Indeed, Yan Yu has no status at all among the generals of Jiang Wei's faction, and now even the idle Zhou has done a bad thing for him, and he suddenly feels humiliated.
Although Liu Chan was a little disliked, after all, he also wanted to vent his evil anger for his son, which was selfish, so naturally he couldn't say it.
Seeing Qian Zhou's calm expression, he had to ask with a pleasant face:
"What kind of high opinion does the old man have, and he hopes to teach the widow."
Everyone could feel the dissatisfaction in Liu Chan's words, even Huang Hao looked at Chen Zhou with interest, waiting for him to make a fool of himself, while a cadre of Wenchen was full of worry.
How do you know that Qian Zhou didn't seem to have heard of it, his face remained unchanged, and he still said unhurriedly:
"Your Majesty may have forgotten that this is the time of the autumn harvest, and the grain obtained is related to the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shuzhong for a year, which is extremely important."
Hearing this, Liu Chan's face was really stunned, because Liu Chan has always been concerned about the people's livelihood, and this time he raised the army, on the one hand, it was also to prevent thieves from causing trouble to the Quartet, but if he used the safety of the whole country to make a bet, Liu Chan did not dare and could not.
Indeed, although the thieves are not far from Chengdu, it will take four or five days to go and come, and they will have to send troops to fight.
A lackey scribe of Huang Hao, under Huang Hao's signal, went out of class and said:
"Your Majesty, such robbers are entrenched on the side of Chengdu, and spreading it will not only make the world laugh, but in addition, if the thieves are bold enough to quietly attack the city and alarm the holy driver, the ministers will be unable to escape the blame!"
"This ......"
Now it was Liu Chan's turn and all the ministers to be silent, and Huang Hao quietly gave a smile, which made the clerk excited, and the promotion was promising!
Huang Cai thought for a while, and then said:
"Your Majesty, Jiang Youma Miao has 5,000 soldiers under his command and is the closest to the Lion Rock Thieves' Den, why don't you let him send troops?"
Hearing this, Liu Chan's frowning brows suddenly appeared, this is not a bad way, even Qian Zhou nodded secretly, glanced at Huang Chong, and looked inexplicable.
But Huang Hao and Yan Yu were diametrically opposed, seeing that the fat in their mouths was snatched away, their faces were gloomy, like a prelude to a storm.
Liu Chan clapped his hands, glanced at Huang Chong appreciatively, a trace of regret drifted through his eyes, and said:
"Good! As Huang Aiqing said, let Ma Miao lead 3,000 soldiers to battle, and the order ......"
"Wait!"
Just as Liu Chan was about to decide, another abrupt voice interrupted him, making him a little angry.
But when he was about to scold, he found that it was Liu Chen, who had been sick for several days, and his face suddenly eased.
At this time, Liu Chen, although his face was still a little pale and his body was a little thin, he was much better than before.
When Liu Chan saw the thin body, a trace of distress flashed, and he said with some reproach:
"Since Chen Er's injury has not healed, don't come out, be careful of contracting the wind and cold again, you are so anxious to come, and interrupt the widow to give the order, but why do you want to play?"
How do you know that Liu Chen's face was upright, and he said firmly:
"Erchen wants to invite soldiers to fight!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the court was obviously shocked, but it was shocked by Liu Chen's words.
Qian Zhou frowned, he originally thought that Liu Chen was a brave and resourceful person, but now when he saw it, he was a completely reckless man, and he was immediately disappointed.
When Liu Xuan saw Liu Chen, a murderous aura rose, and now when he heard Liu Chen's words, he was shocked and said hurriedly:
"Father, no! Since ancient times, the prince has not been in charge of the army, and the fifth brother's words are ill-intentioned! ”
Liu Chan was also a little displeased, and said:
"Does the emperor feel dizzy and delirious? Hurry back to your home and rest, such a national event is not a place for children to play. ”
Who knew that Liu Chen turned a deaf ear, and still knelt down and asked:
"I beg my father's permission, the son will lead the troops to battle, if the prince can't, the son doesn't want this prince!"
"You!"
This made everyone startled, they all thought that Liu Chen was crazy, Huang Chong and a few others looked worried, but Liu Xuan and others gloated, and they were very happy that Liu Chen went crazy.
Huang Chong's mind turned sharply, and when he saw Liu Chen's clear expression, he suddenly remembered the handsome man who used to guide the country, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister has words."
As soon as Liu Chan saw Huang Chong speak, he immediately became serious, because although Liu Chan didn't like Huang Chong's affairs with Jiang, it was undeniable that Huang Chong was a talent.
"What Huang Aiqing has to say, just say it directly."
Huang Chong was immediately overjoyed and arched his hand:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the king of the Northland has been known for his intelligence since he was a child, and now he speaks against His Majesty, there must be a reason, why not listen to his words and make a decision?"
Liu Xuan and the others were suddenly anxious, and Liu Yao said:
"Father, the son thinks that the prince is sealed by his father, and now Liu Chen says don't want it, it is a great disrespect to his father, and he should be punished, so that he can understand what respect is!"
Liu Chan glanced at Liu Yao quite dissatisfied, just now he was partial, but now Liu Yao doesn't know the severity, so he can't get off the stage.
looked at Liu Chen, who was determined, Liu Chan was also a little curious, and he didn't care about Liu Yao, and said:
"Chen Er said, why do you have to lead the troops to battle?"
Liu Chen's face was solemn, and he said loudly:
“……”
