Chapter 205: Trial

"Master Peng, don't turn around, there's no way to turn around, things are already like this...", Xu Jie's eyes widened, watching Peng Yue turn around in the study again and again, his eyes were a little sour, and finally couldn't help but remind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I... Yes, I can't help it right now! Peng Yue sat down on the chair and sighed heavily, "It's enough for Lord Zhai to be punished... Why is it involved with Master Mao again? ”

"Master Peng, this... The reason is very simple...", Xu Jie looked out the window, his face looked a little embarrassed, "Lord Zhai and Lord Mao both belong to the same kind of people, they have great power in the court, naturally there are people... It's not pleasing to the eye..."

It doesn't matter if Xu Jie doesn't say it, what he said is like detonating the bomb in Peng Yue's heart, "He doesn't like it, I still don't like him, disaster to the country and the people, old horseman!" ”

"Master Peng, make a little noise...", Xu Jie made a silent movement, and at the same time subconsciously looked out the window again, "Madame won't come over, will she?" ”

Xu Jie's words seemed to have touched a soft place in Peng Yue's heart, only to see Peng Yue frowning and sighing, "It's okay, she... Won't come..."

"Ahh That's good, that's good...", Xu Jie smiled reluctantly.

"What's good...", at this time, Peng Yue was a little like a child, venting his temper in front of Xu Jie, "The emperor listened to Yan Song's suggestion and let Wang Yiqi take over the position of the secretary of the military department, but that Wang Yiqi... is usually a master who sees the wind and steers, but this time Yan Song has helped him a lot, and it is strange that he can't stammer Yan Song! ”

"Okay, we can't control this, what's the use of being in a hurry here?" At this time, Xu Jie pretended to be a confidant brother again, no. The role of a bosom uncle.

"I... I can't bear it anymore...", Peng Yue slapped the table. seems to have made a lot of determination, "I decided, just recently, to play to the emperor on a certain day, and wait a little longer, I don't know if there will be a better chance, but I can be sure... There will be more loyal ministers who will suffer bad luck! ”

"What? The time is not yet ripe, is it in a hurry? Xu Jie whispered comforting on the side. Master Peng, I didn't say it, who do you think can take his place now? ”

"It's impossible for Lord Zhai, and I'm not qualified, but what if Lord Xia returns to the court?" , Peng Yue smiled a little mysteriously, "Lord Xia is also a little unbearable and lonely in his hometown, and he has been in contact with the court very frequently recently." ”

"I've been thinking a lot about it these days, and I think if I can use the evidence at hand. It's not impossible...", Peng Yue pointed his finger at the table, "Now there is one more thing... I don't want Lord Zhai to be exiled with me, do you think there is any way? ”

"This... Actually, I've been thinking about it for the past two days...". Xu Jie looked at Peng Yue, "I always feel that it doesn't make much difference for us to come forward, but... Public opinion is available..."

"Oh? Public opinion available? ”。 Peng Yue narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something...

At this time. In the Great Gaoyuan Palace, Zhu Houxi is coiled on a futon inlaid with gold edges. Meditate quietly and cultivate the Tao comfortably.

In stark contrast to this is the brutal war situation in the northwest. Although he was beaten back from the edge of the capital by Mao Bowen, he did not give up, he felt that this was a good opportunity.

The accountability and dismissal of Zhai Peng and Mao Bowen made me feel very excited: these two tricky guys are finally gone. He thinks that this can be regarded as Zhu Houxi's indirect revenge for himself, but he doesn't know whether to thank Zhu Houyi or not.

Now there are still two strong generals in the Northwest War: Weng Wanda and Zeng Miao. However, at this time, the window period of power in the Ministry of War undoubtedly provided me with a good opportunity. Their troop arrangements in the northwest are overstretched, and I can pick some weaker areas to attack.

Recently, the eldest son, Lu'an, Qi County, and Dai County have been captured one after another, and the Tartars have killed and plundered thousands of people, creating scenes of misery in the world, and Yan Song, who has just walked in, is here to report this matter to Zhu Houxi.

To be honest, when Yan Song saw this report, he was also taken aback, he didn't expect that the northwest would suffer such a big bad luck. He even regretted it a little, thinking that he shouldn't embarrass Zhai Peng and Mao Bowen, maybe if they were, things wouldn't be the way they are now.

But this kind of thought was only for a moment, and it was suppressed by Yan Song's efforts: I can't have this kind of woman's kindness, I think that when I was nesting in that small village in Jiangxi, who would take care of myself? The head of the Qiantou is the head of the Qian, and they themselves are unwilling to work hard and change their fate, so it is no wonder that there is an ending that is slaughtered by others.

Thinking of this, Yan Song picked up the report again, and prepared to answer Zhu Houxi's question with his head held high.

"Weizhong, report the number in your hand to me...", Zhu Houxi opened his eyes and threw his hands on his lap, "Don't be afraid of me worrying, answer the truth..."

Although Zhu Houxi said that he answered the truth, Yan Song couldn't help but think carefully: the loss this time was really unexpected, the casualties of the soldiers and civilians reached 300,000, the loss of cattle, sheep and horses reached 800,000, the houses were destroyed 200,000, and the land and grain were trampled on 100,000 hectares!

This number must not be reported to Zhu Houxi, he is now the first assistant of the cabinet, if there is such a big problem in the northwest, then this hole must be filled by himself, and Yan Song is very confident that he will definitely not be able to solve this problem.

He didn't know how long it would take to recover from the disaster caused by this war, he only knew that this matter would become a big trouble in Zhu Houxi's heart, and he had to rely on the military department and the household department.

He is not good at military affairs, this newly appointed Wang Yiqi is half a waste, and he will definitely not be able to rely on him for real combat matters, and there is really nothing under his current hands that can recruit people who are good at fighting.

The household department has always been firmly in Peng Yue's hands, and he can't move, and he can't move. Although Peng Yue is now his son-in-law, no one can believe that only by holding power tightly in his own hands is the right way.

"Back to Your Majesty, this war has suffered a lot of losses, with 150,000 casualties among the soldiers, 400,000 losses of livestock, 100,000 broken houses, and 40,000 hectares of land...", Yan Song pressed the number to a situation that was acceptable to himself.

"Oh... The loss is not small...", Zhu Houyu sighed, and there was nothing else to say, but Yan Song didn't know that Zhu Houyu was thinking about things related to him in his heart at this time.

In fact, to a certain extent, Zhu Houxi is really smart, he has never given all his trust to Yan Song, or rather, Yan Song has always been in the stage of his own investigation and exploration.

He will not just rely on Yan Song's reports and news, because in Zhu Houxi's heart, at least until now, there are two people who are more trustworthy than Yan Song... (To be continued.) )
