Chapter 822: An Unexpected Recommendation

The emperor was obviously a little confused by the old fox's cloud mountain fog cover, but his expression was still unusually calm, and he asked, "How does the Taishi think this matter should be handled?" Since the Taishi said that what Fan Aiqing said was not the best policy, can the Taishi come up with a good policy? ”

Xiao Taishi arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, in fact, the execution of the Imperial Forest General above the rank of captain is already a great punishment for the rebellion against the Imperial Forest Army, as long as this decree is issued, not only can it deter the whole army, but also the people of the world can't say anything else."

The emperor hesitated, among this group of generals to be executed, there were naturally many henchmen and generals cultivated by the emperor, and this time many generals rebelled against the Su family's father and son, and even under the emperor's secret instructions.

In order to cultivate this group of henchmen and generals, the emperor also spent a lot of effort, but now he has to cut it down with a knife, for him, the loss is huge, and once these generals are killed, whether these two royal forest camps can still be under their own stable control is an extremely unpredictable unknown.

But in the current situation, if you don't sacrifice that group of generals, I'm afraid that even the two battalions won't be able to keep it.

After hesitating for a long time, the emperor bowed his head slightly and said, "What the Taishi said is very true. ”

A light flashed in Taishi Xiao's eyes that no one noticed, and then he continued: "As the old minister just said, the execution of the Imperial Forest General is already a severe punishment of the rebels, and it will definitely play a deterrent and alerting role for the soldiers of the two battalions. In addition, as Fan Shang said, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and the soldiers of the two battalions do not need to be dismissed, but they can be punished with silver. In this way, the soldiers of the two battalions will be convinced, and they will be grateful to the saint for his magnanimity and benevolence, and will be more loyal to the saint in the future and serve the court! ”

"Good!" The emperor immediately said: "The recommendation of the Taishi is really the best policy!" ”

For today's plan, I can only abandon the car to protect the commander, sacrifice a group of generals, but can keep the two battalions, although many henchmen and generals will be cut off by a knife, but the foundation of these two battalions is still there, over time, can always cultivate a group of new loyal generals.

In the past, when he saw Taishi Xiao's old face, the emperor would have a feeling of disgust from the bottom of his heart, but today he has a trace of good impression of this old guy.

Although he knew that this old guy would definitely not be without purpose, but keeping the two battalions was a huge guarantee for the interests of the royal family.

The emperor's heart was like lightning, and he vaguely felt that this old fox was showing favor to the royal family?

With Xiao Taishi's cunning, seeing Han Mo leading the troops back, there is a good chance that something has happened in the northwest, if this old fox guesses that something has happened to Xiao Huaiy, it will inevitably have a huge sense of crisis.

The Xiao family, which does not have Xiao Huaiy, although there are still many officials in the court, it is undeniable that their foundation has collapsed.

In this case, the Xiao family is no longer an opponent of the same level as the Han family, and it is bound to find new allies or even backers.

The emperor faintly felt in his heart, is this Xiao Taishi because he saw the situation clearly, so he is ready to move closer to the royal family and hug the thighs of the royal family?

But it's a possibility.

The three major forces in the DPRK and China, the Su family was destroyed, the Xiao family collapsed, and now the only one who can compete with the Han family is the royal family who has been raising Jing for a long time, and it is logical for the Xiao family to hold the thighs of the royal family to compete with the Han family.

……

Fan Yunao frowned, but Hu Xuexin over there could not tolerate Taishi Xiao to miss the opportunity to dismantle the Imperial Forest Army and weaken the royal family in just a few words, and as soon as his body moved, he was about to go out, and suddenly heard a very light cough sound from the side.

He was stunned at first, and did not go out immediately, but looked at the coughing sound, but saw that it was Han Xuandao who coughed lightly, and he was puzzled, but saw Han Xuandao shaking his head slightly without moving.

Hu Xuexin frowned slightly, but since Han Xuandao reminded him, it was obvious that he had another deep meaning, he hesitated for a moment, and finally did not continue to attack.

Taishi Xiao didn't retreat, he saw him look left and right, and then said slowly: "The two camps can stay, but for the safety of the saint, the volcano camp can no longer be stationed in the imperial city as an inner royal forest camp." ”

The emperor's brow, which had just stretched slightly, suddenly furrowed again.

"The casualties of the two battalions this time are not small, and the total number of casualties is more than 2,000 ......!" Taishi Xiao was thoughtful, his speech was extremely slow, and he was very low, he paused slightly, and finally said: "The old minister asks for an order to merge the volcano camp into the Fengxiang camp, and the original establishment camp name can no longer be used, rebuild a new battalion!" ”

"Rebuild a new battalion?" The emperor had a strange look in his eyes.

"Yes, the Volcano Battalion cannot continue to stay in the Imperial City, and the Fengxiang Battalion will be reorganized and renumbered." Xiao Taishi said word by word: "In this way, this group of Jing soldiers will be retained to serve the country immediately, and this disgraceful history can also be erased." ”

Xiao Wanchang immediately echoed: "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister thinks that what the Taishi said is extremely true. The Volcano Battalion and the Fengxiang Battalion are both rebel battalion numbers, and they can no longer be used. ”

Even if several courtiers came out to echo it.

The emperor hesitated, and finally said, "Then what camp number does the Taishi think to change?" ”

"Camp of Loyalty!" Taishi Xiao did not hesitate at all, and immediately said.

Everyone suddenly thought in their hearts that the old fox could blurt out, but they were afraid that before entering the palace, they had already thought about such a thing.

"Camp of Loyalty?" The Emperor muttered.

Without waiting for the emperor to think about it, Taishi Xiao had already continued: "After the two battalions are combined, the loyal battalion can set up a commander, and the old minister can recommend one person to take on this position!" ”

The emperor seemed to realize something, his hands couldn't help but clench his fists, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is the Taishi recommending?" ”

For a long time, the commander of the Imperial Forest Battalion was formulated by the emperor himself, and the court officials were not allowed to do it, but today Xiao Taishi repeatedly said that not only to combine the two battalions into the Loyal Battalion, but also to personally recommend the commander, which is extremely abnormal.

If it was a normal day, the emperor would call back with a word, and it would be impossible for the cabinet officials to handle the affairs of the imperial forest camp.

But today's situation is very different, whether these two battalions can be kept is still a question, if there is no Xiao Taishi to protect, all the officials will be abolished together, in the face of the pressure of the court officials, I am afraid that it will not be able to be saved.

Because of this, the emperor held back the anger in his heart.

Taishi Xiao leaned over and said word by word: "The old minister recommended Han Cang, the former commander of the Volcano Battalion Infantry Army, as the commander of the Loyal Battalion!" ”

……

Even if Taishi Xiao recommended a little-known soldier to serve as the commander, it would not be more surprising than the word "Han Cang", but the important ministers present were the emperor, who had always been calm, and they also changed suddenly

Han Xuandao originally looked calm, but at this time, he also showed a rare surprise, and then frowned, glanced at Taishi Xiao, thoughtful.

Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Wanchang glanced at each other, their faces were full of disbelief, and they almost thought that Taishi Xiao was old and confused.

It's absolutely incredible.

The Su family perished, and only the Han faction and the Xiao faction were left in the court, and in the eyes of many people, the next court situation will be the face of the competition between these two factions.

However, Xiao Taishi unbelievably recommended the children of the Han family as commanders.

Wouldn't this make your opponent stronger?

The monarchs and ministers in the Qianxin Hall were stunned and speechless for a while, and the hall maintained a deathly silence for a long time.

……

"Taishi, what you said, I didn't hear it clearly!" After a long time, the emperor said in an extremely cold voice: "Who do you recommend?" ”

Rao is emperor is city is deep, and it is difficult to understand Taishi Xiao's mind at this time, and even he thinks that this old thing is not confused for a while, so he is talking nonsense.

Taishi Xiao coughed for a while, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said slowly: "The old minister recommended Han Cang as the commander of the Loyal Battalion. This time, Han Cang and several of his generals did not participate in the rebellion, and were imprisoned by the rebels, which shows their loyalty to the saint. In addition, Han Cang is both civil and military, and his martial arts are enough to shock the three armies, and his writing is also brilliant and heroic. Moreover, Han Cang has been training in the Volcano Battalion for many years, leading the troops strictly but not losing care, and he is very familiar with the Imperial Forest Army, such a pillar of talent can serve as the commander of the Loyal Battalion! ”

After listening to Taishi Xiao's words, everyone was sure that the old guy didn't say the wrong thing on a whim, but he was afraid that he had already had such an idea.

The emperor only felt that his anger was attacking, and his visceral breath was tumbling for a while, he forcibly held back and sneered: "Han Cang...... Can you really take on this task? ”

Only then did he realize that before he knew it, he had been struck by the old fox.

The old fox laid a trap and lured himself into it.

Han Xuandao, who has been extremely low-key recently, finally came out slowly, bowed down and said: "Holy Lord, as the old saying goes, you don't avoid revenge when you move outside, and you don't avoid relatives when you move inside. Although Han Cang is the son of the minister, the minister dares to guarantee that his loyalty to the saint can be seen every day. After a pause, he didn't look at the emperor's extremely ugly face and continued: "Most of the rebel generals participated in this rebellion and must be severely punished. ”

The emperor's heart burned with anger, and he said in his heart: "You Han Xuandao is a person with a bad mind, and your son can still be loyal to me, it's ridiculous!" ”

At this time, Taishi Xiao praised: "Han Shang's sentence of not avoiding relatives is a lie. The old minister thought that Han Shang's words were from the bottom of his heart. The father recommends the son, serves the country, and shares the worries for the king, it will become a good story! ”

He sang and harmonized with Han Xuandao, and the emperor suddenly felt a surge of energy rushing to his brain, and he actually felt a sharp pain in his head, and a trace of pain crossed his eyes

But the emperor's will has been tempered for a long time, but it is extremely tenacious, and he endured this pain, trying his best to maintain a calm face, and waited until the pain in his head eased slightly, and then raised his hand and said, "I ...... Feeling unwell, these things, after three days...... Courts, you ...... Stand down! With that, he leaned back in his chair, exhausted, and said no more.

"Holy Lord, take care of the dragon body!" The ministers looked at each other at first, then knelt down together, saluted respectfully, got up, and retreated behind them.

When the courtiers left, the emperor opened his eyes, sat up with difficulty, his face was blue, and his eyes were full of incomparable anger, he grabbed the Y cup on the table and scolded angrily: "A group of courtiers and thieves! He slammed the Y cup out of his hand.

There was a "choking" sound.

The cup is smashed to smash while the inside of the hot tea,! ~!
