Chapter 0969. Prince Liwei
It's not surprising that some people are mad, this is the court, not the vegetable market.
But the person who can go crazy is not ordinary, the prince Li Jin who is on the cusp.
The young and promising face was full of gloom, Li Jin angrily stretched out his hand under the long sleeves of the prince's robe, pointed at the ministers and asked: "Posistins still have an army of 500,000 troops, and Posistins is far from Shiraz and the Zagros Mountains, even if you are defeated, you have plenty of time to escape, you adults are so afraid of death, you can't wait for a minute?" β
Xiao Lou, the secretary of Taichang Temple, looked at Li Jin in amazement, and then looked at Li Jie, I really don't know what the king of Min and the prince said last night, just one night, the prince has become so full of fighting spirit, and when he just arrived in Bosistin, he was so panicked and unable to live all day was like two people.
The rest of the ministers were flushed with shame, eager to find a crack in the ground to turn into, they then remembered, not to mention the 300,000 government soldiers that Li Jie recently ordered to gather in the name of Qiu Hunting, and Poxistin itself has a total of 200,000 elite soldiers from the left and right Jinwuwei, left and right Qianniu Guards, left and right leading guards, left and right military guards, plus Guanning Iron Cavalry, police forces, and Fanshang Border Mansion soldiers.
Once the king of Min led half of the elite of the country and almost defeated the Arabs, and the 30,000 Arabs were covered with nails and could not approach Posis.
The ministers wilted, and the generals were excited, the Arabs came, which meant war, and war was military merit, and at this time, the Bosistin army was surrounded, and it was easy to defeat the Arabs, and this military merit seemed to be within reach.
Now the generals of the Min State who are feudal marquises, generals or something, either the Guanzhong rangers and their descendants who started with Li Jie, or the veterans of Shuowang Tielin, will not be the Dugu family to fight for a loyal martyr to be crowned, and many of the remaining new generals who have been selected to join the military are still as bitter as Li Guang was back then.
There is no military merit, what to ask for, and the family members who didn't look at the princess were only crowned uncles at most, so as soon as there was an opportunity, a group of rising stars immediately stepped forward like sharks that had seen blood.
"Chen'er Zhu Rongguang seeks war!"
"Chen Sheng Lianshan is willing to clear the enemy for His Majesty!"
Shouting, a large number of five big and three thick heavy generals jumped out, shouting at each other, completely different from the civil servants who were afraid of the enemy like tigers just now, the arrogant generals were eager to show their biceps to show themselves, and one shouted that the number of troops was scarcer than the other.
It's really the same as bidding, Sheng Lianshan, who spoke without brains, even held a wat board and shouted loudly and loudly to give him three thousand chengguan, hitting Taixi Feng Yunyun, the enthusiasm of the generals, and even more so that they were afraid of death, and the civil and military officials were eager to spit out a mouthful of old blood, and the civil and military officials had always looked at each other unpleasantly, and many civil officials even secretly gestured with their middle fingers, muttering fiercely in their hearts.
Pretend!
It's a pity that the enthusiasm of the generals was still reprimanded by the prince, and his face was still so unhappy, Li Jin scolded angrily: "Those who are few in the temple for the sake of war are few and victorious, so reckless, and open their mouths, what kind of system will they become?" β
The words bombarded most of the generals back, and they retreated back to the court in a huff, Sheng Lianshan muttered unconvinced: "Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, do you want the Arabs to come to the door?" β
Who knew that this sentence was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and Li Jin, who was angry, pointed at him angrily and roared: "Where is the supervision of the imperial history?" Zuo Qianniuwei's general Sheng Lianshan Jun's loss of honor in front of him, what is the crime? β
"According to the law, you should be punished for one month and whipped five!"
Li Gang, the superintendent of the imperial history, also stood up and said in annoyance, but after a sentence, Li Gang's white-haired head bowed deeply and bowed to Li Jie.
Sheng Lianshan is Sheng Wenjian's nephew, he has always been favored by the King of Min, although he has the responsibility of impeaching officials and maintaining order in the court, but the real punishment has to be decided by the King of Min.
Following Li Gang's gaze, everyone's attention was on Li Jie again, and Sheng Lianshan, who was silly, also looked at it with a blank eye.
Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, Li Jie, the king of Fujian, seems to have been acting as a bystander, and this time, it was also uncharacteristically not maintained, but waved his hand lightly: "Deal with it according to the law." β
Several guards walked up to the hall, and dragged Sheng Lianshan, who was full of sorrow but silent, under the gloating gaze of the ministers, to the outside of the hall, and after a while, the loud sound of the leather whip and the screams came through.
"Ah!!h
The generals were all frightened, what kind of person Sheng Lianshan is, they know that they will never scream out if it doesn't hurt to the extreme, more than 100 middle-level generals looked at Li Jin with a cold face above in awe, it was really a little master's words, and his butt bloomed.
The civil officials, who felt that they had lost a lot of face in the coaxing of the generals, also felt their hearts blooming, and they looked at the heroic posture of the prince on the stage, and that cordiality was heartfelt.
It seems that it is not enough to show his face today, after teaching Sheng Lianshan a lesson, Li Jin respectfully hugged his wat board again, stood in the center of the court, and said eloquently while saluting.
"Your Majesty, our dynasty just decided to conquest the rebels of the Arab Empire, and then the Arabs brutally entered our Fujian country, seized my city, and killed our officials, such atrocities, the anger of the heavens and the people, must not be tolerated, it is bound to crusade!"
"However, the terrain of the Zagros Mountains is towering, intricate, and easy to ambush, this battle is extremely important, it is to promote the prestige of our Great Min, a vital station, you can't send some rough and reckless people, you need to be as careful as a general."
"Minister, recommend Li Yexu, the general of the right Qianniuwei!"
Under normal circumstances, the crown prince should remain neutral in the court, be cautious in his words and deeds, and easily never dare to easily show which side he supports, which is very likely to be regarded by the king as a plot to win over a certain party.
However, on the cusp of public opinion, Li Jin not only did it, but Li Jie, the king of Fujian, nodded kindly, waving his wide sleeves and said.
"Li Aiqing, you are the queen of Wei Guogong, what do you think?"
hurriedly walked out of the group of military attachΓ©s, bowed and bowed not far behind Li Jin, but Li Yexu cautiously only said one word: "The ministers should move according to the mountains, the high camps, the strong walls and clear the fields, thwart the enemy's sharpness, and when the enemy is weak and want to return, break it in one fell swoop." β
Defensive counterattack has always been a good game for Da Min, but in the ancient cold weapon battlefield where swords intersected, in the face of the fierce challenge of the enemy, there are really not many people who can calm down, just like the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, Zhao Kuo arrived, and easily attacked, but was cut off by only 5,000 Qin soldiers, fought hard for 46 days, died and was defeated, and lost all the vitality of Zhao State.
Li Yexu's solemn words made several prime ministers and generals nod secretly, but more courtiers were full of surprise and looked at Li Jin and Li Jingye in surprise.
A while ago, they had just undergone a purge in which everyone was in danger, and for every action in the court, these ministers who were afraid of being killed had to pay more attention.
But immediately, Li Jie nodded approvingly unexpectedly.
"In this way, Lone ordered you to be the head of the march in Shirazhou, the commander of the left and right Qianniuwei plus Jinchuan, and the soldiers of the 36th Army of Yinshan went out to recruit Shilazi, there is no need to let the Arab barbarians regret provoking my Fujian country!"
"Minister, Commander!"
Solemnly kneeling on the ground, Li Yexu kowtowed, and at the same time, the ministers also saw clearly, the king of Min did not have the intention of abolishing the prince, from the news of the Arab cavalry entering the palace, the king of Min spared no effort to establish the majesty of the prince.
Looking at Li Rang, the lonely king of Hezhong County in the corner, unconsciously, some courtiers changed their minds.
It's just that Li Jin's maternal uncle and biggest supporter, Xiao Lou, the secretary of Taichang Temple, showed a little panic in his faint old eyes.
The king of Min wants to help the prince fly, according to his temper, I am afraid that he will not leave a crutch for the prince, so that the prince will rely too much on his relatives and lose his authority, will he not see the past of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who killed his mother and established his son?
Perhaps, it's time for the rapids to retreat.
However, who can so calmly give up the great authority that was so hard to obtain? Between resigning or not, Xiao Lou actually struggled violently in his heart?
In the various thoughts of the low-level officials, Li Jie's loud voice sounded in the court again.
"The invasion of Arab thieves is less than sixty miles away from Bosistin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a time of national disaster, and if you are not careful, the shame of Weishui will be repeated!"
"Lone ordered that all officials above the fifth grade in Beijing should be cancelled, and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry should step up their operations, and it is extremely necessary to ensure the smooth flow of all supplies for the army!"
The shame of Weishui is that when Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, the Turkic Khan Jieli led 200,000 people to break through Shuofang, break through the clouds, and reach Chang'an, forcing even Li Shimin, who was as strong as Tang Taizong, to compromise and reconcile with the Turks at Weishui Bridge.
Although the history books of later generations wrote about the peace agreement, in fact, Li Jie, who was born not long after that turbulent time, knew that it was the Tang Dynasty that bowed to the Turks, humiliated the children of many slaves with many goods, and even had to speak softly to Jieli Khan, which persuaded the Turks to retreat.
The Tang people were deeply ashamed.
As soon as they heard this word, all the civil and military generals looked awe-inspiring, took a breath of cold air, and solemnly bowed to the ground.
"Your ministers obey the holy commandment."
"Retreat!"
Sbratita's voice was sharp again, and the ministers also stood up, backwards and began to walk outside the hall, while walking, these ministers were still trying to digest what today's short early dynasty experienced, the prince really rose? Or is it just a smokescreen for King Min?
Was the war against the Arab invasion smooth or full of twists and turns?
But at this moment, the loud voice of King Min sounded in the court again.
"The Confucian soldier Zhonglang will leave Xue Ne behind!"
Originally, Xue Ne was not qualified to go to the court, but after he supervised the army and was too student, he was promoted to two levels and became a lieutenant general, and the army under his command was also given the title of Confucian soldier.
Around this is the case, there is no chance for him to intervene in the major affairs of the court, so when he went to the court, Xue Ne has always been a gangster and stiff, he will kneel when people kneel, and he will make trouble when people make trouble, and finally got off the court in a daze, and he was happily slipping back, and he almost didn't let Xue Ne lie on the ground.
"Minister, minister!"
"Rebel, don't kneel down yet!"
