Chapter 641: The Way of Checks and Balances

@@@@@

Great Song Tokyo.

At first, when it was reported that Yang Yi led 20,000 horses and horses into the Mobei grassland to chase down thousands of remnants of Yan Lou's room, none of the ministers of the DPRK and China thought that Yang Yi had done everything to eliminate evil and sweep out a peaceful world, so as to avoid a recurrence of the situation in Liaodong in the future.

After Yang Yi's 20,000 army entered Mobei, he completely lost contact, which is understandable, Mobei is so big and boundless, and it is normal to not be able to contact him for a while;

Yang Yi proved his military talent with great victories again and again, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were still very confident in him, at least no one would worry about any accidents with the 20,000 army, but he was a little dissatisfied with his use of 20,000 horses to chase down thousands of remnants;

Now that the imperial court is trying to find a way to transfer troops to support Hexi, Yang Yi brought 20,000 troops at once, which is inevitably a little suspicious of losing a big one.

These days, at the court meeting, all the discussions are about how to deal with the war in Hexi, and more than 20 days have passed since Yao Xiong's defeat under the city of Suzhou.

Suzhou is two or three thousand miles away from Tokyo, and with the fastest carrier pigeon in the Staff's Office, it will take seven to ten days for the news of the defeat to reach Tokyo.

The imperial court pinned all its hopes on Yao Xiong, relieved the siege of Suzhou, recaptured Gua and Shazhou, and the 20,000 Western troops in Jianzhong were hanging alone in Khotan, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, all of which were counting on Yao Xiong to rescue.

But as soon as he engaged, he was defeated, and he suffered more than 3,000 casualties at one time, which is 3,000 lives! In the past few years, the Great Song Dynasty has rarely suffered a major defeat with thousands of casualties.

This incident caused great waves in the court, and the voice of impeachment was loud in the clouds, and hundreds of officials asked for the removal of Yao Xiong and asked him for the crime of losing his teacher.

This time, Zhang Dian and Xu Jiang also failed to withstand the pressure. can only remove Yao Xiong, after all, Hexi is too important. No one can afford to take that responsibility.

Yao Xiong was replaced, and the question was who to replace. In order to achieve a quick victory, almost all of the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were mobilized to Liaodong; Gyeonggi still has a few available generals, but these must not be moved;

Yang Yi controls 100,000 elites in Liaodong, and if Gyeonggi takes time again, this will create a situation in the former Tang Dynasty, which the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers have always been very afraid of, and it is impossible to let this situation appear, not even for a moment.

Choosing and choosing, only Xingling Road is left to make the kind of Pu Shang be useful. replaced Yao Xiong with Chong Pu, which was also opposed by many people;

First, Chongpu is Yang Yi's descendant, and second, the 20,000 troops in Chongjianzhong fell into Khotan, and it is unknown whether the whole army was wiped out, and Chongjianzhong and Chongpu are one family, if the 20,000 troops in Chongjianzhong are fine, and Chongpu is victorious. If you recover Hexi all the way, and even fight with Chong Jianzhong on both sides to pacify the entire Western Regions, then what will be the situation at that time?

This is equivalent to the fact that the entire Western Regions was single-handedly fought by the species. It is almost inevitable that the breed will dominate in the Western Regions;

And the seed family is not only the two generals of Jianzhong and Pu, but also the family and the Zhejia are the generals of Hedong. There are by no means a small number of disciples in the family in the army, how can the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee tolerate the matter of letting the family take over the Western Regions?

The matter was disputed in the court for three whole days. Until Zhang Dan was angry, he angrily reprimanded several ministers in the court. Only then did he decide to appoint Chongpu as the general manager of the march of Hexi Road, the military situation is like fire, take Hexi back first, and talk about the future in the future;

But in order to check and balance Chong Pu, Yao Xiong's crime was not pursued for the time being, and he was appointed as the deputy head of the march of Hexi Road;

It was not enough to keep one Yao Xiong to contain Chong Pu, and in the end, someone suggested sending a person to supervise the army.

Empress Dowager Liu intended to send a eunuch from the Inner Servant Province..........

Before she finished speaking, she was strongly opposed by all the ministers, including Zhang Dan, and in the eyes of the ministers of the court and the central government, the orphans and widows of the Empress Dowager Liu could easily create a situation in the inner palace where the master was weak and the slave was strong;

At this time, the eunuchs must not be allowed to come out, and the slightest sign must be strangled;

The death of the Han and Tang dynasties, does it have anything to do with the eunuchs? The Great Song Dynasty officials' heart to prevent eunuchs is better than to defend Sichuan, Empress Dowager Liu is young, and the emperor is young, how can you let the eunuchs come out at this time?

As a result, the candidate for the prison army fought for another day, and finally all parties compromised and decided to let the military department Langzhong Ma Yin take the post of supervisor of the army.

The candidates for the commander and the supervisor of the army have finally been dispatched, but it is not enough to have generals and no soldiers.

Now that the war in Liaodong has basically ended, most people naturally propose to transfer troops from Liaodong, but there are also many people who oppose it, and the reasons for opposition are very good.

First of all, Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Hexi, and it is only too late to transfer troops from Liaodong, which will cause several times the burden on the imperial court in terms of money and grain;

Moreover, the merits of Liaodong have not been tasted, and let the soldiers move to the Western Regions, which is easy to make the soldiers resentful, unless Yang Yi is allowed to lead the army forward, with his prestige and the style that has always been promoted to his subordinates, the generals and soldiers can be willing to follow him to fight;

But can Yang Yi still lead the army to the Western Regions? Yang Yi destroyed the Three Kingdoms in a row, which is already an unappreciated achievement, and if he is allowed to go to the Western Regions, who can rest assured that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee can rest assured?

The current situation is similar to when Taizu was the same, the same orphans and widows, the same ministers are strong and the lord is weak, Renzong trusted Di Qing at the beginning, appointed Di Qing as a privy envoy, and the ministers in the ministers objected, Renzong said that Di Qing was a loyal minister, Wen Yanbo refuted Renzong in the court: Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong?

It can be seen from this that the jealousy of the ministers of the DPRK and China is so strong that they even dare to talk about Taizu.

Now Yang Yi's situation is really too similar to the time of Taizu, who is not worried that if Yang Yi leads the army to conquer the Western Regions again, there will be another thing with a yellow robe.

Therefore, if Yang Yi continues to lead his troops to the west, the ministers of the DPRK and China will never agree.

The second point is that although the 100,000 troops in Liaodong are all elite and strong generals, after all, they have been fighting in Liaodong for several months.

Moreover, this army has fought with Yang Yi many times, it can be said that it has faintly become Yang Yi's descendants, if there is a war, count on this army, it is also not conducive to the imperial court checks and balances, everyone knows that strong troops are made by fighting, and now there is a war to let "Yang Yi's descendants", other armies can not be tempered in actual combat, how to check and balance in case of changes in the future?

And the way of government is actually the way of checks and balances. Everything must be done with a check and balance.

Just when the imperial court was arguing, Li Dafeng of the Staff Pavilion hurriedly brought a piece of information from the Western Regions into the court.

I heard that Vijab's Jin retreated. and was destroyed by the remnants of the enemy, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were stunned at first. Then he breathed a sigh of relief;

The key is that the Uighurs in Xizhou will be wiped out, and the situation will definitely take a turn for the better, and the predicament in Hexi is likely to be resolved.

However, when he heard Li Dafeng flickering and said that Yang Yi's 20,000-strong army pursued Yan Lou to the Altai Mountains, and then took Beiting, Xizhou, Yanqi, and Qiuci; He also sent Yang Zhi to successfully recover the two prefectures of Gua and Sha, and forced the Yellow Head Uighurs to force them. All the ministers were dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Are you kidding?

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are still discussing where to transfer troops to the Western Regions, Yang Yi has already crossed the Mobei and captured most of the Western Regions, who can tell us that this is not a fantasy talk?

No, it must be a fantasy.

Li Dafeng bowed to the Empress Dowager Liu behind the bead curtain, and was about to take advantage of the opportunity of the Manchu courtier's stunned to quietly withdraw, when his heel touched the threshold of the main hall, and a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the quiet Wende Palace: "The Empress Dowager." The staff hall spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in the treasury every year, and dares to lie about the military situation in the main hall, the queen mother, please immediately drag this treacherous person who bewitches the people out of the noon gate to behead. Set an example. ”

This roar was like a bell, which frightened Li Dafeng, he was just a small character in the rivers and lakes before. Now Ma Hanqing is on the expedition with Yang Yi, and he is temporarily promoted by him as an errand messenger in Beijing;

This is the first time he has come to this solemn Jinluan Palace. was already nervous, and was frightened by this suddenly. Barely paralyzed by fright.

With a thud, Comrade Li Dafeng, who killed without blinking, had weak feet and knelt down on the threshold, Da Song did not kill the scholars, but he Li Dafeng was not a scholar, but he was not among the non-killing;

He was so frightened that he was sweating, and he didn't care who roared at him, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly: "The Queen Mother spares her life, this is the news that the staff hall has just sent back, if it is not true, how dare the minister go forward to report, the minister is wronged, the Queen Mother spares his life!" The Queen Mother spares her life........."

Poor Comrade Li Dafeng is not too stupid, he knows how wrong he is saying at this time, he just emphasizes that the news is true and credible, and then kowtows vigorously and begs for mercy;

As for how Yang Yi's 20,000 army appeared in the Western Regions, and how he captured most of the Western Regions with lightning speed, he didn't say a word, these should be things that make the gods fight, and it is better for him, a little ghost, not to mix or less;

Now that Yang Yi is not in Beijing, he is at best a lonely ghost, not enough for the gods to stuff their teeth.

Empress Dowager Liu spoke: "Li Dafeng, are you sure that these news are true?" ”

"This .......... the Queen Mother, Xiao Chen just came to report according to the news received by the Staff Pavilion, Xiao Chen expected that if such a major news, if it was not true, the spy personnel in front would definitely not have the courage to tell this big lie, so Xiao Chen believed that the news was true."

"Okay, you step down, and report any news in time."

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager not to kill, the Empress Dowager is blessed with all the blessings, and the Empress Dowager is blessed with ten thousand .........blessings," Li Dafeng sang praises and quickly slipped away.

Leaving the Manchu ministers stunned, the news was so shocking that everyone needed some time to digest it.

Finally, someone moved, and the imperial envoy Liu Yu was the first to jump out and say loudly: "The queen mother, the minister wants to impeach Yang Yi, Yang Yi, as the deputy head of the Yanyun Road march, without the authorization of the imperial court, actually transferred troops to the Western Regions without authorization, although it solved the temporary difficulty, but this move is for trespassing, as soon as this example is opened, the local generals will follow suit in the future, and the soldiers of the whole country will no longer be in the hands of the imperial court, and the disaster of the former Tangfan Town is not far away!" ”

The imperial envoy Xu Xiang then played: "Queen Mother, even if Yang Yi has the merit of Monkey King and commits such a big crime, he must be severely punished, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will be in trouble, the country will be shaken, the ancestral foundation will be destroyed, and the Queen Mother"

Liu Yu and Xu Xiang directly poked at the key point that the Great Song Dynasty was most afraid of, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were shocked and came out one after another to demand that Yang Yi be severely punished.

Seeing the surging emotions of the crowd, Empress Dowager Liu was out of idea for a while.
