Chapter 134: Imperial Recruitment

Liu Yu no longer gave Li Guifei the opportunity to pretend to be crazy and delay time, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of guards beside him rushed up the steps and took Li Guifei down. Li Guifei shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! You rebels, this palace is the queen mother! ”

Wen Ban knelt on the ground and sobbed: "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor ...... Still fine. ”

In just one sentence, Concubine Li was like a defeated rooster, losing the demeanor of the leader of the clan, and became even more angry and corrupt, and said hoarsely: "You...... You rebel, bad things for this palace! Hongu is going to kill you! ”

No one knows whether Li Guifei is really crazy or fake, and I don't know whether she is scolding Liu Yu or Wenban. When Concubine Li Guifei was taken out of Fengcui Palace by the guards, she could still be heard laughing and cursing from a distance. Liu Yu turned to look at Su Zhe, the king of Yi, who was silent, and said, "His Royal Highness the king of Yi, please." ”

At this time, Zhou Ying and the others had been taken down, Yi Wang glanced at the direction his mother left, and then at Zhou Ying, closed his eyes and couldn't believe that this failure came suddenly. The most reluctant nodded slightly, acquiescing to the fate of the same fate as the third prince. Although the two guards did not step forward to stop him, one left and one right, followed by dozens of guards, escorted King Yi out of Fengcui Palace. First go to the inner court for a while.

The rebels, along with Uncle Li, Wen Ban, Zhou Ying, and Ling Gonggong, were bound and held in front of the palace to accept the emperor's final verdict. When everything is ready, there is no principal in Fengcui Palace, and the ministers get up and stand there, neither have an idea, nor dare to ask, after all, this is the time to punish the traitor and eliminate the evil and clean up the traitor, and if he says the wrong thing, he will be taken down together as a rebellion.

It's just that they don't know the relationship between the primary and secondary of the Royal Forest Army, and no one doesn't recognize He Mao, the president. At this time, He Mao was weakly supported and stood behind. Everything was handled by Liu Yu, a young man in the armor of a general. The Guards obeyed. Thinking that Li Guifei's mother and son were also ready to rebel, the ministers didn't understand why the usurpation had not yet begun, so it ended hastily.

Chai Jin wanted to ask Liu Yu a question, but was pulled by the fourth princess, and stood up obediently. At this time, there was a very faceless cold shout: "Rebel! Where is the emperor? ”

Liu Yu's reputation was instantly shattered by Liu Zhao's words. Liu Yu is really speechless to this arrogant father, even if he cleans up the rebels today, he can say "rebel" in public, regardless of his son's face. Liu Yue tried his best to calm the anger in his heart. Without even looking at Liu Zhao, he walked to the gate of the palace, and at this time Luan Jia was already approaching Fengcui Palace. Liu Yu led people forward to greet him.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The old emperor coughed while walking into the Fengcui Palace with the support of Mrs. Lu and Qu Ning. Liu Yu and a group of guards of the Imperial Forest Army escorted them to the jade steps, and Liu Yu turned around and stood proudly. The old emperor sat down, but there was no Gonggong Ling around him who came out to coordinate the salutation ceremony of the ministers. After all, it was a court meeting, and the courtiers wanted to kneel and salute, and when he saw that someone was going to kneel, the old emperor waved his hand, and the voice was not loud. But he said very majestically: "Today's court meeting, there is no need to be too rigid about etiquette between monarchs and ministers." Standing and talking. ”

The old emperor was weak, and even if he sat on the dragon chair, the merchant could not sit straight. Today's court meeting was not out of the old emperor's wishes, it was Li Guifei who summoned the ministers in the name of the emperor, Liu Yu thought that the old emperor's appearance was just to reassure the ministers, and he would dissolve the court meeting directly, but the old emperor still calmed down and said: "Today's court meeting, summoning all Aiqing to come, there is something to discuss." The Turks have repeatedly invaded the frontier of the Dashun Dynasty, I wonder what is the best solution for Aiqing? ”

His Royal Highness's ministers looked at each other, could it be that the old emperor gathered all his ministers to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Turks? This kind of thing is serious to say, but how can the border troubles that have not been resolved for hundreds of years be discussed and brought to fruition by holding a court meeting?

But since it is the emperor who inquires, the courtiers also have to do their duty as courtiers, and at the moment there are a few young and vigorous people who want to make contributions to the profession and come out to express some insights, which are nothing more than stepping up the frontier to stock up grain or building the Great Wall to train soldiers and so on. None of the military generals with status and status spoke at this time, and with their twenty years of experience in serving the king, they all understood that the conceited old emperor had something to say, and they didn't need to open their mouths to give their opinions.

The old emperor suddenly waved his hand, stopping the discussion of the ministers, and said, "Ning'er, I asked you about the art of war and strategy, I don't know what you think about today's topic?" ”

In front of hundreds of ministers of the court meeting, the old emperor actually asked a little woman's opinion, this is the only time since the court meeting was held, even Xu Xuanzhu has never expressed his opinion at the court meeting, which shows that the old emperor relies on Qu Ningzhi.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that the Turks had invaded the country for hundreds of years since the founding of the country, and the reason for the invasion was not only because of the poverty of the barbaric country, but it was beneficial to trade with it, and the people were self-sufficient in bartering for goods. However, the barbarians were greedy, and the gains from trade were light, so they raised troops to invade the territory and plundered them on a large scale. The Central Plains is vast and abundant, and the Turks have not gained an inch of territory for a hundred years, but the Great Wall is as solid as gold. If this problem is solved, one is to negotiate peace and trade, and the other is to take the initiative to destroy the country on the grassland, there is no other way. ”

Liu Yu guessed that this question was not something she came up with on the spotlight today, but should have been prepared for a long time. It is also reasonable and well-founded, either sign a contract with the Turks for peace talks and border trade, such as the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, or directly send troops to destroy the Turks, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy the Xiongnu and seal the wolf Juxu. Two good pieces of advice, indeed.

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction and said: "Qu Qing's words are reasonable, I think that when the Turks are frustrated, they will use the troops to go out of the three passes, and the soldiers will point out to destroy the Turks on the grassland...... cough cough cough ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the old emperor coughed again.

The old emperor made it clear that he wanted to raise troops to fight a decisive battle with the Turks when the drought in Guanzhong was unresolved and there was a shortage of grain and grass. It's a bold proposition.

After all, the north of the Great Wall is grassland, and the Han people are not used to the life of the steppe people who migrate from water and grass, and no one is willing to move there for a long time even if they occupy the grassland. The result of this is that every generation passes, the Turkic population grows, and the food production is insufficient, and the border will be invaded on a large scale, and the small invasion will continue year after year. No one can kill anyone, but if one day the Turkic soldiers are strong and strong, but when the soldiers of Middle-earth are in chaos, it is easy to take advantage of the weakness and enter the country, and the country of the steppe swallows up Middle-earth.

Liu Yuxin said, does the old emperor want to establish immortal miracles before his death and leave a name in history?

After all, Yuan Bolang is the new right minister, and he must understand the emperor's intentions and share worries for the monarch. When the old emperor was still coughing, Yuan Bolang said: "I don't know the emperor, who is going to be the general and send troops to the Turks?" ”

The old emperor said: "The Marquis of Dingguo has a degree of troop management, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles." He is the best choice for the manager. ”

Liu Zhao was still sullen about Liu Yue's showmanship, but when he heard the words of the old emperor, he walked out of the crowd and bowed respectfully: "The old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!" ”

The old emperor nodded with a smile, turned to look at He Mao and said: "He Aiqing is my son-in-law, who was brave and resourceful in the early years. Pity...... Han'er, she is blessed...... Alas! You might as well let He Aiqing give the marquis as the deputy marshal this time, assist from the side, and break the Turks in one fell swoop! ”

He Mao bowed down to receive the order, but Yuan Bolang hesitated: "Your Majesty, the President of the Imperial Forest Army is concerned about the safety of the palace, you transfer Commander He to the border to cooperate with the Marquis of Dingguo to exterminate the Turks, then the president will take the post ......"

The old emperor smiled and pointed at Liu Yu, and Lao Huai comforted: "Isn't there still a strict text." Ahem...... Wen Yan is also my trusted minister, and has repeatedly helped me overcome difficulties. Besides, he has the experience of acting as a commander, so this time he will be officially promoted to the presidential leader of the Imperial Forest Army, and as for his original position as the right commander, he will hand it over to Yang Lie. ”

"Command!"

Liu Yu didn't squeak, and Yang Lie knelt down excitedly to receive the order. Liu Yu glared at him, and Yang Lie realized that he had become the target of everyone, and it was a little wrong to kneel. Yang Lie hurriedly got up, was a little embarrassed to be looked at, and retreated to the side, hoping to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The old emperor smiled: "The Yang Qing family doesn't have to be formal, since it is a promotion, Xie Zhen should also be promoted." Ha Lu Ha ...... Ahem......"

Today's court meeting is not at the right time, the old emperor is unwell, and he also encountered the rebellion of Li Guifei and King Yi, and it will take at least a few hours for the court meeting to end, but the old emperor is not in good health, so he has to go back to rest early.

"The document for sending troops to the Turks will be drawn up by the Marquis of Dingguo and the Ministry of War, and will be presented tomorrow. In addition, Wen Yan, you also handed over the defense of the Imperial Forest Army to He Aiqing earlier, and you also drew up a list for me for the appointment and dismissal of some generals. Today's Pilgrimage ...... Let's disperse, I'm tired, alas! When people get old, they just want to rest more. People will always come to this day. (To be continued......)
