Chapter 580: Han Shou

The court was full of Xiao Party officials, and it was already a full blow to the Han people. In this court, there are six main officials of the Nine Secretaries, there are also the officials of the Imperial History Terrace, two columns of cultural relics, and there are one hundred and forty or fifty people in total, all of whom are important ministers of the Yan State with the qualifications of the last dynasty, and the Xiao family will account for two percent, and more than 20 court officials led by Xiao Huaijin knelt in the court in a black pressure, which was to ask the emperor to dismiss the Donghai Zhenfu army.

The emperor's expression was calm, and he finally asked Han Xuandao: "Han Aiqing, what do you think of what Xiao Shilang said?" ”

Han Xuandao bowed down and said: "Enlighten the saint, the minister thinks that what Xiao Shilang said is reasonable!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the emperor was also a little unexpected, frowning slightly, while Xiao Taishi, who was sitting on the big chair, had a strange light in his eyes, but his expression was still quite calm.

"Oh?" The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Doesn't Han Aiqing agree with Xiao Shilang's intention to disarm? ”

Han Xuandao said respectfully: "Back to the saint, Xiao Shilang's intention of disarmament is to reduce the expenditure of the national treasury, and it is for the overall political and strategic considerations of Dayan, which is the move of Lao Cheng to seek the country, but the minister also deeply agrees!" ”

Many people were suddenly a little surprised, and some people secretly said in their hearts: "Isn't this guy Han Xuandao crazy?" The abolition of the Zhenfu Army would cut off their Han family's arm, how could he agree? ”

Up and down the court, there was this unpredictable scene, and everyone was silent for a while, and the Taiping Hall was suddenly shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Taishi Xiao's old voice finally broke the deadlock, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Lord Han is the secretary of the household department, since he agrees to the abolition of the Zhenfu army, it is a matter of public loyalty to the country because he has taken into account the expenditure of the household department...... In this case, the old minister asks the Holy Lord, but the Ministry of War immediately formulates the disarmament ......! ”

The emperor seemed to be a little unconvinced, how could the disarmament matter go so smoothly, stroked his beard for a while, and did not speak.

Just when the ministers were surprised, they heard Han Xuandao suddenly say: "Holy Lord, the ministers agree with disarmament, but it's just ...... But I don't know how many soldiers will be dismissed from Xiao Shilang's disarmament matters? ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers immediately understood that Han Xuandao had not gone crazy after all, and other people's countermeasures had just been put on the table.

Xiao Tongguang immediately said: "According to the current defense of the East China Sea, it is enough to keep two percent of the Zhenfu army and have three thousand soldiers!" ”

"Twenty percent?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Han Xuandao's face: "Xiao Shilang said such a thing, I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the defense of the East China Sea. The coastline of the East China Sea is hundreds of miles long, and 3,000 soldiers want to defend the coastline of the East China Sea, which is child's play! ”

Xiao Tongguang also heard the contempt in Han Xuandao's words, and couldn't help but be very annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "Then how many soldiers does Xiao Shangshu want to leave behind?" ”

"It's not about how many soldiers the officer wants to keep." Han Xuandao said with a straight face: "It's just to consider the defense of the East China Sea." The coastline of the East China Sea stretches for hundreds of miles, and if you want to be foolproof, you can only reduce the army by a third at most, and if you do too much, the defense force on the front line of the East China Sea will definitely not be enough! ”

"A third?" Xiao Huaijin also said: "You mean, the Zhenfu army still needs to retain the establishment of 10,000 people?" ”

"That's the bare minimum." Han Xuandao said without hesitation: "In order to reduce the expenditure of the national treasury, it is imperative to reduce a number of pacification troops, but in order to maintain the safety of the coastal periphery of Wu County and Donghai County, it is necessary to have a 10,000-person pacification army to ......!" ”

Xiao Tongguang shouted loudly: "Han Shangshu, the East China Sea is no longer in trouble, why do you need so many troops to guard it?" With so many people, who are they used against? ”

Han Xuandao sneered: "The East China Sea is fine? Xiao Shilang, but I don't know why you released this in the court? ”

"It's a well-known thing." Xiao Tongguang said loudly: "The pirates of the East China Sea have been recruited, and the Qingguo Navy Division is even more vulnerable, where are the enemies of the pacification army?" It's not that the East China Sea is free of trouble, so what is it? ”

Han Xuandao stood up straight, as calm as Mount Tai, and said lightly: "Well known? What Xiao Shilang meant, that is, all the officials in the DPRK and China know that the East China Sea is fine? ”

Xiao Tongguang was about to agree to listen to Han Xuandao's question, but for a while he couldn't figure out what Han Xuandao was thinking, after all, these people were not all henchmen of the Xiao family, so he could only say: "Whether they know it or not, this official is clear." The official was ordered to go to the East China Sea with Changdehou a few years ago, but he was coerced by the pirates, and later ordered the prince to reach an agreement with the pirates, and the pirates released the official. The official was supposed to suppress the army and send troops to suppress the bandits afterwards, but Ling Lang and Governor Han both said that most of the pirates in the East China Sea had been recruited, but this was what they said in their own words, is it false? If he hadn't been recruited, Ling Lang would have been able to get so close to the pirates, and he would even be able to let the pirates release his own officials...... This is somewhat intriguing. ”

Xiao Tongguang was in distress in the East China Sea, that is something that many people know, after Xiao Tongguang returned to Beijing, he talked about his escape from danger, and described himself as in danger.

When he said this in the court at this time, many people heard that his words were alluding to the collusion between the Han family and the bandits.

Han Xuandao took a step forward, ignored Xiao Tongguang, and bowed his hand to the emperor: "Holy Lord, what Xiao Shilang said is indeed inappropriate. He claimed that the East China Sea was fine, but in fact ...... The trouble in the East China Sea is becoming more severe than before! ”

The courtiers immediately looked at each other, in fact, everyone knew that the Donghai Zhenfu Army was indeed enjoying peace and tranquility now, and there was no big opponent, at this time, listening to Han Xuandao say this, they didn't know where Han Xuandao's "East China Sea trouble" came from.

Taishi Xiao frowned slightly.

With Xiao Taishi's shrewdness, he actually knows the temperament of several opponents in the court very well, at this time, Han Xuandao has no fear, and he is calm and calm, and his performance is very normal, but this kind of normality is very abnormal in the eyes of Xiao Taishi.

Taishi Xiao thought that the knife he saw was extremely sharp, and the Han family couldn't catch it, but at this time, he faintly felt that Han Xuandao's reaction today was like a soldier in armor, with excellent protection and preparation.

This kind of reaction is that Taishi Xiao is keenly aware that today's court suddenly attacked the Han people on the issue of abolishing the Zhenfu Army, but I am afraid that in the eyes of the Han people, at least in the eyes of Han Xuandao, it is not sudden.

Han Xuandao seems to be fully prepared to deal with it.

In the depths of Taishi Xiao's heart, he immediately felt that the news of the abolition of the Zhenfu Army had leaked out?

In fact, before today, the matter of dismantling the Zhenfu army was secretly planned, even if it was an important official of the Xiao clan, it was very little to know, and those who knew the news in advance were in addition to Xiao Taishi himself, but Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Tongguang were just two people, although these two close relatives were mediocre, but Xiao Taishi also knew that such a big event, no matter how stupid these two people were, it was impossible to leak the slightest news.

Other than that, only the Holy One today knows about it.

Xiao Taishi entered the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor that day, just to see the emperor's reaction to this matter, after all, if this matter did not have the support of the imperial family, it would be difficult to do such a big thing as the removal of the Zhenfu army with the power of the Xiao family alone.

Even if the royal family does not support it, as long as the royal family does not oppose it, then there is a good chance that this matter will be done.

Because of this, Xiao Taishi tested the reaction of the imperial family in advance, and the attitude shown by the emperor was indeed as Xiao Taishi expected, although the imperial family did not want to directly intervene in this matter, but the attitude shown by the emperor was obviously still happy to see the Han family's pacification army being removed.

As long as people with a little political consciousness can see that today's Han nationality is a sharp weapon used by the royal family to balance the rectification form of Yan State.

It's just that this sharp weapon seems to be too piercing, and in the eyes of the royal family, it can not only hurt the enemy, but also may hurt oneself, so the royal family has always used it carefully.

The royal family promoted the Han clan and gave the Han clan some power that could fight against the Xiao and Su factions, but they were cautious, because the Han clan itself also had a lot of power, and the power was too strong, which would go against the original intention of the royal family and bring a threat to the royal family.

And the Xiao family's own strength is naturally in the East China Sea.

The Han people have lived in Donghai County for hundreds of years, and their roots are deeply rooted there, and the Han people have always been governed by benevolence in the East China Sea, winning the hearts of the people, and have a strong mobilization ability in the East China Sea.

If there is an opportunity to weaken the power of the Han clan, the royal family is naturally very happy to see it.

What the royal family wants to see most is that the strength of the Han family itself is greatly reduced, and then they can only rely on the royal family, with the help of the power and power given by the royal family, to bite other families like mad dogs.

The power given to the Han by the royal family can be withdrawn at any time, but the power of the Han family itself cannot be controlled by the royal family.

Xiao Taishi's thoughts about the royal family have naturally been seen through for a long time, and he knows that the imperial family's attitude towards the Han family is to use it and prevent it, and the royal family is very willing to see the strength of the Han family itself being weakened, so he discussed this matter with the emperor first.

I thought that everything was done without knowing it, but Han Xuandao's reaction today was much beyond Master Xiao's expectations.

This made Taishi Xiao suspicious in his heart, and he glanced at the emperor on the dragon throne as if he didn't have it, but he was quite suspicious in his heart, could it be that the royal family had leaked the news to the Han clan in advance?

However, this is not in the interests of the royal family at all.

What is this man on the dragon seat having?

……

"Lord Han is alarmist, right?" Xiao Tongguang sneered: "You claim that today's sea disaster is more severe than in the past, but you don't know where the sea disaster you refer to comes from? ”

"The sea naturally comes from the sea!" Han Xuandao said without hesitation.

"Is it a pirate, or is it a ...... Qingguo people? Xiao Huaijin also asked with a sneer.

Han Xuandao's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "Neither the pirates of the East China Sea, nor the Qingguo Sailors, but ...... Oriental Bandits! ”

The power of the minister has reached two million words, which is a new breakthrough for the desert.
