Chapter 107: The court is discussing sending troops

The morning court began, and the ministers finished their salutes. Chai Yu stood up from the dragon chair and glanced at the hundred officials: "I want to send troops to attack Western Xia, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that Li Hao has established himself in Western Xia, and our dynasty should raise troops to fight, but now the situation is difficult. The Liao State has increased its troops to Youzhou several times, and at this time, if we send troops to the west, I am afraid of internal emptiness. If the Liao people go south, the situation will be unimaginable." There was an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, and an official, coming out of the courtiers, raised his voice in opposition.

Another official came out and chimed in: "Please think twice, Your Majesty, now that the treasury is weak, it can support a large army to march west."

Immediately afterwards, many officials stood up and spoke out one after another to dissuade them. With his mouth hanging like a river, quoting scriptures, Chai Yu's face gradually became gloomy.

Yan Shangshu of the military department walked out and asked respectfully: "The old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, if you crusade against Western Xia." It is necessary to send tens of thousands of troops, and where to dispatch troops and horses."

"100,000 soldiers, is it possible that the military department has difficulties in this matter?" Chai Yu looked at Yan Shangshu, and his tone was a little cold.

The ministers gasped when they heard this, and the opposition became a little more intense.

"Your Majesty's 100,000 army, working the people and losing money, is not child's play."

"In recent years, natural disasters have continued, people's livelihood has been difficult, and the imperial court has been struggling. If there are 100,000 soldiers, I am afraid that it will make matters worse."

"Your Majesty, at this time, the relationship between our dynasty and the Liao State is deteriorating day by day. What will happen to the Liao people when they go south?"

The more the ministers spoke, the more angry they became, and when Cao Gao saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Quiet, the court prohibits noise."

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, where you need to send troops and horses." The court gradually quieted down, and Yan Shangshu continued to ask.

Chai Yu looked at the hundred officials, took a deep breath, and spit out two words: "Forbidden Army."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty, the forbidden army must not be taken lightly." Hearing the words of the forbidden army, the officials who had not yet participated in the dissuasion hurriedly stepped out to admonish them. All of a sudden, the scene got a little out of control.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yang Yong was wearing armor and walked in with two personal soldiers. Seeing this, the hundred officials were furious, and an official stood up and scolded loudly: "Yang Yong, you are so bold, just a guard in the East Palace, you dare to lead troops into the palace."

"Where are the Praetorian Guards in front of the palace, why don't you take down such fanatics." An official dressed as a military general stepped forward and shouted. But the Praetorian Guards in front of the palace did not move at all. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little weird.

Yang Yong ignored them, walked directly to the front, and knelt on the ground: "Minister Yang Yong, the head of the contemporary Yang family." According to the ancestral system, the hereditary envoy of the northwest festival and the envoy of the slight envoy, please posthumously recognize it".

Two pro-soldiers fell to their knees, one holding his sword in both hands, and the other holding his official uniform in both hands. Cao Gao hurriedly walked down and took the things to Chai Yu

"From now on, Yang Yong will take office, and the Northwest Festival will be the envoy and the envoy." Chai Yu made an order, and after Yang Yong listened to it, he neither said the decree nor said the decree. Just kneeling hard, the ministers looked at this one after another, and Zou frowned one by one.

Yan Shangshu couldn't stand it, and scolded Yang Yong: "Yang Yong, don't you want to resist the decree." You Yang lineage, do you also want to learn from that Li Hao?"

"The minister did not dare to resist the decree, and this time he came to Beijing just for one thing." After Yang Yong finished speaking, his eyes looked directly at Chai Yu.

Baiguan was stunned for a moment, and also looked over with Yang Yong's gaze. Chai Yu nodded slowly and spit out two words: "Please speak."

"The revenge of killing my father is not shared. I want to pour out my family, 50,000 elite iron horsemen, go straight to Xingqing Mansion, and take revenge. I don't know the court, whether it's allowed or not." After Yang Yong finished speaking, his gaze turned to the hundred officials in the hall.

As soon as Yang Yong's voice fell, the hundred officials were silent. Chai Yu saw that the time was ripe, and a sense of pride surged into his heart: "You are not the only one who kills your father's revenge." I want to allocate 50,000 forbidden troops and hand them over to Yu Qing to attack Western Xia together."

"Your Majesty ......". Zhao Xin, one of the household officials, walked out and just wanted to say something to dissuade him. Sima Zhao looked at him and motioned for him to retreat. Zhao Xin hurriedly stopped talking and shrank back.

After seeing Zhao Xin retreat, Chai Yu glanced coldly at the hundred officials: "There is no need to say more, this western expedition is all supplied by the inner treasury."

"Your Majesty thinks twice......" At this time, the hundred officials came back to their senses, and one by one they scrambled to dissuade them.

Xu Yanping looked at the scene in front of him and walked out. When the hundred officials saw the prime minister, they immediately stopped talking, and listened to his meaning: "The prime minister thinks that His Majesty's words are reasonable, what do you think?"

"We seconded the proposal and supported the westward expedition here." Officials from the six ministries stood up one after another and expressed their approval. The opposing officials were speechless, got up one after another, and returned to the queue.

After the court meeting ended, hundreds of officials rushed out, and Zhao Xin walked out angrily. Sima Zhao took Zhang Chao and Li Jie and ran quickly: "Brother Zhao, dissipate the gas, eliminate the gas."

"Lord Sima Youlang, the lower officials don't dare." After Zhao Xin heard Sima Zhao's words, he snorted heavily.

Zhang Chao saw Zhao Xin's unhappy appearance, and hurriedly played a round: "Brother Zhao, why are you so angry."

"This is not the place to talk, we go out and talk about how it is." Li Jie saw many officials, cast gloating glances, and hurriedly motioned for them to change positions.

The four of them walked to a remote place, and Zhao Xin was furious: "Tell me, can I still afford this war?"

"Your Majesty said that it was the inner treasury that paid for it, not the household department." Zhang Chao explained with a smile.

When Zhao Xin heard the words "Inner Library", he sighed gloomily: "Now our household department is losing money one after another, if it weren't for this inner library." There is a little stability of wealth that can calm people's hearts, and I don't know what kind of chaos will become at this time. If this war is fought well, the prestige of the country will be greatly increased externally, and the people's will will be stabilized internally, then it will naturally be good. But if this is a losing battle, then the people's hearts will be unstable, the country will have no reserves, and I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable."

"With the current situation, if you don't fight. I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be even more difficult. I am saying that the inner treasury belongs to the private property of the royal family, and my household department has no right to intervene, and this matter cannot be stopped by you and me." Sima Zhao looked at Zhao Xin, what he said. I haven't thought about it, but after thinking about it, it's better to fight than not to fight. Maybe it's the same as Wang An said, it is urgent to change the law at this time. Today's situation is not broken, but it will not stand. Only by breaking first can there be a glimmer of life.

Li Jie looked at Zhao Xin and persuaded him: "Brother Sima is right, this matter is not something we can interfere in. After all, the inner library is not our household department."

"At that time, if our army was defeated, the inner treasury would be empty, and people's hearts would fluctuate. Another year of disaster for the country...... I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster." Zhao Xin said as he described such a scene in his mind, and sighed in his heart, hoping that he had thought too much.

Sima Zhao looked at Zhao Xin, who was worried, and continued to be relieved: "Even if our army is defeated, whether there is a disaster year or not depends on the will of heaven." Now, if the expedition to the west is not carried out, the imperial court will be swept away, and the situation will be even more difficult. We don't have to send a disaster year from heaven, and we can last a long time. Brother Zhao, I have to do it."

"You're in charge of the household, if all of this happens. This mess, eventually, will fall into your hands. Since I don't even care about you, why should I bother with this idleness." After Zhao Xin said this, he turned around and left directly. Seeing this, Zhang Chao and Li Jie hurriedly chased after them. When Sima Zhao heard this, he sighed in his heart. He didn't chase them, but turned around and walked towards the house.
