Four days after entering Taihang Mountain, Xie Shence had already figured out the general direction of the three forces. All that remains is to wait for the encirclement to shrink and then attack

The day is September 20th. A group of ministers in the court were waiting in front of the palace gate early, and the prestige Xie Xiang, who had pretended to be sick for more than 20 days, also came to the court this morning. But as usual, not many people noticed him, and even fewer greeted him.

However, there are always a few people who will not miss him.

"Master Xie, after so many days, your health is better?"

"Lord Zhao, it's not a serious illness, just recuperate for a while."

"Hello, Lord Xie."

"Lord Lin, morning."

"Master Xie"

“”

However, after these people passed, Xie Shang's side became deserted again.

After the palace gate was opened, all the officials entered the palace in turn and went to Hanyuan Palace.

It was still the usual reading of the early dynasty, and after a short opening, a royal historian played a duet, which led to the highlight of the day.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do, and the counties downstream of the Tiqi Division Admiral Xie Shence are miserable, the disaster relief degree has increased, and the post-disaster construction investment is huge, and the minister impeached the Tiqi Division Admiral Xie Shence for acting recklessly, pampering and arrogant, and having a negative grace. Your Majesty is please. ”

After this imperial historian finished speaking, many people seconded it, and at this time, nearly half of the court officials were in favor of exiling Xie Shence and never hiring him.

Emperor Jin glanced at Xie Xiang, who was suddenly absent from the courtiers, and smiled slightly.

Still so pampered

The emperor still did not make a decision, and the court officials were not in a hurry, and after more than 20 days of adequate preparation, someone had already received news from the north, saying that the flooding of Zhuzhou County by Xie Shence had brought serious consequences.

This time, the impeachment jointly initiated by several Shangshu has united nearly seventy percent of the court officials, and there is sufficient evidence in their hands to pull Xie Shence down with this matter.

So more people shot, and the people who shot also carried more weight.

Household Department, Ministry of Works, Servant Shooting, Chinese Book

"Your Majesty, when the minister heard that Shence was in the north, relying on the majesty of the Ti Cavalry Division, he had nothing to do in the northern military camp, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and did not pay any attention to the military and politics, which was really arrogant and domineering. At this critical autumn, the country lives and dies, and the blessings and misfortunes are not avoided! What a coward does, not a minister. Please impeach him! ”

"Your Majesty, when the minister heard that Xie Shence was in the north, before the Cangzhou War, he hurriedly went west, where did he leave His Royal Highness the Prince? When the army is fighting on the front line, it is the time when the Tiqi is needed to assist, so greedy for life and afraid of death, disregarding the righteous people, disloyal and unjust! Please impeach him! ”

"Your Majesty, when the ministers heard that Xie Shence was in the north, he instigated merchants to arbitrarily raise the price of grain in order to make huge profits and enrich their own pockets. At this critical time, there are thieves and criminals outside, disasters from heaven inside, the army is restless, and the people are unstable. Please impeach him! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

This is forcing the palace, Emperor Jin looked at the courtiers below and thought like this.

After all, isn't it all about thanking God for taking advantage of the situation? If you want to talk about the situation, whose power is it? It's not mine, it's too unusual.

Emperor Jin was a little annoyed.

In his imperial study, there was a secret letter, which was delivered through Zhou Jinmian, the secretary general of the Tiqi Division.

It describes in detail the secret letter of Xie Shence Fire Ox Formation to break the enemy, flood Murong City, and burn the military rations of tens of thousands of troops in Quyang. Of course, there are also a series of operations in which Xie Shence forced Sima Bi to launch an attack on the Yan army.

and, detailed recommendations for post-disaster work.

Thinking of the young man's almost watertight eloquence, Emperor Jin seemed to see the young man's appearance when he was admonishing himself to open the martial arts hall.

Listening to the endless "impeachment", "impeachment", and "impeachment" below, Emperor Jin seemed to see Xie Shence in the imperial study saying that those old people "treat the symptoms but not the root cause".

is really a young man, dare to think, dare to do, dare to fight, Emperor Jin seems to see himself when he was young. But at that time, he didn't dare to toss so much.

The courtiers in the underground had all finished speaking, and Emperor Jin smiled and said, "That's what you all Aiqing mean? ”

"I beg your Majesty to give a decree."

"Have any of you received a message from the north? What do you say about the serious floods, who only care about using soldiers to fight wars and reap military merits, regardless of the lives of the people? There is a saying that the Tiqi Division was slow to report the military situation and was derelict in his duties, right? Some say that Xie Shence secretly encouraged the rise in food prices to make huge profits, right? Oh, you people. I know that you are loyal, and I know that you work day and night for the Great Jin, and I know what is going on in your hearts. So, this time, I don't blame you. But, I want to speak to you, something from my heart. ”

In the court, the ministers were quiet to the extreme, and Emperor Jin's voice was not loud, but in the Hanyuan Palace, it was extremely clear.

"This time the war in the north is really beyond everyone's expectations, the attack of the Yan Kingdom, hundreds of miles deep into my Great Jin, this is a shame. This is the first time since I ascended the throne that I have been so embarrassed. When was the last time I lost my teacher in the Great Jin Dynasty? So I, to win this war! Win at all costs! ”

As Emperor Jin spoke, his tone became high. Some of the underground courtiers already felt a little uneasy.

Someone wanted to interrupt Emperor Jin's speech, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again. Emperor Jin's strength is not how domineering and unreasonable he is, but in addition to being domineering, it is also his enough wrist and ruthlessness to dare to kill.

People who can be in the early dynasty in the Hanyuan Palace, and people who can have a certain impact on the affairs of the court, there are few people who are smaller than the Jin Emperor, more than 20 years have passed, although the Jin Emperor has become more and more gentle, but no one dares to forget the bloody night. How many people buried the bloody shadow of the halberd in their hearts and prepared to take it to the coffin, but no one dared to forget it.

All of them know that in order to expand the territory and achieve a generation of emperors, Emperor Jin can pay any price and smooth out any obstacles.

Therefore, some people heard the resoluteness in Emperor Jin's tone, and subconsciously stopped themselves from speaking out.

Don't let Emperor Jin's resoluteness become your own determination.

Emperor Jin's mouth softened: "Those who offend my heavenly might, although they are far away, will be punished!" Chen Tang said this, Zhang Kouzhi said it, Xie Shence also said it, and when it comes to it, my heart is over. I am very pleased. ”

An exclamation suddenly sounded in the court.

When was it said? Say you've heard?

Emperor Jin looked at the ministers underground, and said lightly: "He didn't take it out to say this, in fact, I haven't heard it, he sent it to me, this letter, now I can take it out and read it to everyone." ”

After Emperor Jin finished speaking, a eunuch opened a letter and read it aloud in the hall.

"Long live my emperor, the ministers thank God for worshiping the first minister all the way to see, the people have very high expectations for the war in the north, the people's will can be used, the general resists the thieves, there are many worries, although he is not afraid, the people's hearts are anxious, and they are worried for a long time. In addition, the heavy rain in the sky, the unfavorable autumn harvest, the urgency of the war, and the soaring price of grain, the minister had no choice but to use means to control the price of grain. ”

"The minister knows that the disadvantage of the enemy army lies in internal fighting, but on its western front, it is Murong Cheng, the eldest prince of Yan State, who leads the army, and tens of thousands of Youzhou iron horsemen are indestructible. The minister thinks that if you want to break Yan, you must first break Murong City, and if you break Murong City, the heart of his army will be chaotic, and his army will be in turmoil, and I will have a chance. However, it is head-on, and there is no hope of victory. When Jinju City was in danger, the minister Qianti rode into the city and offered a fire bull array to defeat the enemy. Later, it rained heavily, and the minister wanted to use the power of heaven to flood the enemy army, and he was fortunate to succeed, destroying tens of thousands of elites in Murong City in one battle, forcing the thieves to retreat and relieve the siege of Jinzhou. ”

"However, the enemy still has spare strength, and the ministers want to attack its grain routes, cut off its supplies, once it is successful, the enemy does not fight and is in chaos, our army will take advantage of the situation, there will be a lot to do, and the recovery of the lost land and return to our rivers and mountains is just around the corner. And then I was lucky not to be dishonored."

"However, although it is good to flood the enemy, it is the rainy season, the Hutuo River is overflowing, and the intention to store water will make the situation worse downstream. Therefore, the ministers put forward several suggestions, one of which is to use work for relief, hire displaced people as laborers, record the work and pay for it, use it to remove the mud and rebuild the houses, mobilize the wealthy, control the price of grain, the rich can donate money and materials, and the court will commend the three, clean up the rotting corpses, prevent the plague, all these things, or if there are deficiencies, they can be implemented."

Xie Shence's secret letter was very long, and it took a long time to read it after changing two eunuchs in a row.

In fact, this is just a part of Emperor Jin's transcription of Xie Shence's original text. Some of the secrets involving Sima Bi and the Ti Cavalry Division were concealed by Emperor Jin.

After listening to this, the ministers were silent for a long time.

Originally, the ministers were furious, and they wanted to impeach Xie Shence for all kinds of actions of the people's livelihood, and they also planned to make Emperor Jin obey, but the result was like this.

The focus of his own attack on others, in the hearts of others, I don't think it's a big deal at all. In the eyes of others, the most important thing is to fight the Yan people, recover the lost land, and promote my heavenly might. What's more, didn't people later attach a solution to the sequelae of water discharge? Even before the water was released, people also made preparations. People did it so carefully, did it so beautifully, and said it so beautifully, the emperor smiled when he listened to the eunuch read it

Like a clown, he takes pity on himself, dancing on the beam

Do you say that people are disloyal, and people go to the enemy camp in person and burn the military rations, is it considered loyalty? You say that people are not kind, and the disaster relief suggestions offered by others are clear and practical; You say that people are unjust, but people are considering the overall situation, and they are considering the things mentioned in the secret letter that Emperor Jin got from withdrawing from the enemy, and no one dares to doubt its authenticity, that is to say, Xie Shence really let the Yan people retreat, and he really defeated Murong Cheng, the number one warrior in the world that General Sima couldn't beat.

What kind of credit is it to regain the lost ground, and then be able to provoke the Yan people's inner bar, and even fight it again? Everybody knows. Look at Xie Yi today, you will know.

Then what happened to you uniting with the courtiers and attacking others without knowing right and wrong? Jealous of Tadashi? Slander? Or is it partisanship?

The first two charges are okay, at most they are demeaning, but the party dispute at noon and the vegetable market have long been washed clean.

Many were already trembling. Some people are even crying.

At this moment, it can be regarded as completely offending the Xie family. In the eyes of Emperor Jin, his gang is probably like Qin Huizhi, who killed Zhang Kouzhi in the previous dynasty
