Chapter 527: Controversy
The atmosphere above the court suddenly became heavy.
Almost all of them were silent for a while, their eyelids drooping, and they looked pensive, but they were actually digesting the news they had just heard in their hearts.
To be honest, there was a little shock in everyone's heart, and the words that Gao Quanye said just now were still echoing in his heart at this time.
"I want to send troops to attack the northern frontier, I don't know what the ministers think?"
At this time, Bai Qing's heart was also like turning over the river and the sea, before, he had heard Gao Quanxi talk about it, but he never thought that just a few days later, Gao Quanye would put his thoughts into action.
Looking around, Yutai Feicong, Bai Qing, Xu Churen, Gao Quanxi, Yue Fei, Li Gang, Ouyang Xun, Lu Yihao, Zhu Shengfei, Qin Hui, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong and Lu Deng, almost all of them were trusted and reused close ministers under Gao Quanye, and they were all summoned here by Gao Quanye at this time, which is enough to see Gao Quanye's attention to the Northern Expedition.
"Whether Your Majesty is in a bit of a hurry in this matter, according to the minister's opinion, it still needs to be considered in the long run!" After a moment of silence, Yutai Feiskull finally spoke in a deep voice, which could be regarded as breaking the current dull atmosphere.
"What the Prime Minister said is right, at the moment, the treasury is declining day by day, and it is worth the New Year, this battle is not easy to fight!" After Gao Quanxi pondered for a while, he also said to Gao Quanye with some hesitation.
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Qing, as if he wanted Bai Qing to agree.
However, Bai Qing did not speak in a hurry, but observed the expressions on everyone's faces, and at the same time kept groaning in his heart.
With Bai Qing's understanding of Gao Quanye. Although he is not good at military affairs, it does not mean that he does not understand. Judging by his character, he shouldn't have been in such a hurry. Unless...... He heard something or was instigated.
In Bai Qing's view, this Northern Expedition is not impossible, but in Bai Qing's view, now is not the best time, as for what Gao Quanxi said, he naturally has his considerations, but more because of the difficulties of the household.
"His Royal Highness King Yan and Xiangtai Xianggong are not right!" Just when Bai Qing was silent. A voice sounded again, but it was Lu Yihao, a member of the Privy Council who signed the book, he raised his head, with a somewhat iron-clad look on his face, and said loudly to Gao Quanye: "I am a great Qi, how can I allow a group of rebellious rats to be wanton and arrogant on the side, sooner or later it will be a war, why don't you take advantage of their wings now, lest they become a tumor from a mustard disease!" ”
"Dare to ask Lu Xianggong. If, as you say, the Northern Expedition at this time, who should be the general? A slightly younger voice sounded, it was Han Shizhong, the envoy in front of the palace and the strong general. His voice was sonorous and powerful: "Let's not talk about the enemy leader Gao Quanwu, presumably you are no strangers to his ability, just talk about Gao Gexing, the commander of the Northern Army, and the former Xu Guogong. How many people are there in the world? ”
Han Shizhong was originally from Western Xinjiang, but he was a lowest-level soldier. With his own efforts and strength, he climbed to his current position step by step. It is also one of the widely praised "Eight Zhongxing Generals".
"General Han's words, don't you think that you have some ambition for others and destroy your own prestige!" Another younger voice sounded, and there was a bit of resentment in the tone, as if Han Shizhong's words just now felt a little harsh, and it was Liu Qi, the new commander of the sixth command of the East Palace and the general of Mingwei, who was also one of the "Eight Zhongxing Generals", and saw that his face had a bit of a categorical taste, and said directly: "If no one dares to lead the army, then the last general is willing to bear it!" ”
Liu Qi is the son of Liu Zhongwu of Shangzhu State, and he is also a family scholar, with strong martial arts, and is one of the mainstays of the younger generation, but compared with Siji, he doesn't have much experience in war, so sometimes, he is a little arrogant.
To be fair, Liu Qi spoke a little impersonally, but he didn't have any bad intentions, not the kind of malicious calling.
"What General Liu said is right, the eldest husband should take a three-foot Qingfeng, kill the enemy for the country, and make immortal achievements, how can he be afraid!" Qin Hui also stood up at this time, echoing Liu Qi's words, which can be regarded as showing his attitude of supporting Lu Yihao.
Qin Hui, as one of the courtiers who got up early and defected to Gao Quanye, is also outstanding in planning and has the talent of a prime minister, so he is also reused by Gao Quanye.
"Your Majesty, the old minister interjected more, when the emperor was in power, there was never any compromise, no matter who it was, as long as he tried to be unfavorable to Daqi, it was to raise the strength of the whole country, and the emperor would also fight to the death to the end, it was precisely because of this backbone that my Daqi maintained its prosperity for more than forty years......" Xu Churen also stood up at this time and said slowly.
Although Xu Churen did not express his views clearly, these few short sentences are quite instigating.
Basically, all the civil officials are clearly supporting Gao Quanye's concept, and they are going toe-to-toe with those military attachés.
Looking at this sword-like scene, Bai Qing's heart suddenly felt a little abrupt, and he only saw a little at this time, why those civil officials today would be so desperately agitating Gao Quanye to make up his mind to go on the Northern Expedition, not for anything else, but for more power in their hands.
Since Gao Quanye ascended the throne, although they have also been promoted by virtue of their dragon skills, they can be called celebrities in the court, and they are in the limelight for a while, but it is obvious that with the improvement of their status, their ambitions have also swelled, and now their power is far from satisfying their appetites, so their small group is to set their sights on the army.
You must know that although the commanders of the four armies are all transferred to the capital by a decree, the commanders at all levels in the four armies are still their descendants, and those small groups of civilian officials have no influence in the army, if it weren't for this, Gao Quanye would not have tried his best to win over Bai Qing at the beginning, and now they want to start cultivating their own forces in the army.
It's just that there are so many positions in this army, and if you want to put your own people on the throne, you naturally need merit, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Hui, Xu Churen and others will desperately advocate Gao Quanye's Northern Expedition, and only in this way can they let the people they cultivate grow rapidly in the war.
Thinking of this, Bai Qing didn't have a relaxed look, because he could feel that at this time, the eyes of almost everyone in the room were focused on him, Bai Qing ignored these concerned eyes, and just sat there, silent......
