Chapter 132: Leading the Troops into Beijing

It is said that the arrival of the male and female generals of the Yang family has nearly doubled the strength of the Meng Li Group almost instantly. But the arrival of the Yang family general also caused a big problem for Meng Li, that is, the embarrassing situation of having generals and no soldiers.

Originally, the soldiers and horses of Yannan Province were not very sufficient, and even the god of war Li Cunxiao, Qu A's junior general Tang Hui and the local military general Qi Yuan, who joined before the war, did not have soldiers and horses for them to lead, and they had to be aggrieved to be Meng Li's guard.

Besides, to fight a war is to kill people, and to fight a war is to burn money and food. Although under the leadership of Zaoyi, the civil and military forces at all levels in Yannan Province launched a vigorous Tuntian movement, but they could not withstand the consumption of training and combat. Now Yannan Province has no extra money and grain for Meng Li to expand the army except for the grain and grass for the winter stockpile, so such a capable general is here to be the commander of the light pole, which makes Meng Li a little helpless, and after asking Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Xie An and others, they have no way to pull out some money and grain.

In addition to raising taxes on the people, it is also collecting money from the rich, which is the old method since ancient times. It is also an old method of self-destruction, how can Meng Li adopt it? Therefore, the Zhiqu Strategist Group did not mention this method.

Compared with sighing, he looked at a bunch of good generals Meng Li who was playing soy sauce. His cheap dad Meng Chang in the capital gave him a great opportunity - to bring troops into Beijing!

"What! Bringing troops into Beijing? Majesty is absolutely unacceptable! ”

When the emperor convened several ministers of the humerus to discuss the matter of Meng Li's entry into Beijing, when he saw the ministers below who held their opinions, Emperor Meng Chang suddenly threw out such a proposal.

Bring troops into Beijing! Let Yannan Hou Mengli bring all the meritorious Northern Expedition troops into Beijing!

This astonishing statement made several old ministers below suddenly explode, and they couldn't stop talking.

"Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Yannan has contributed to the country and the society in this battle. But it was too troublesome to bring troops into Beijing. And what unnecessary incidents may occur, please think deeply! ”

Although he is the right prime minister, one person is below and above 10,000 people. But Zhang Yuan is not calm at the moment. Although Yan Nanhou's sacrifice of himself last time did not have any reaction, it did not help him at all.

Now I'm the right prime minister. If you don't think about it, there is no further possibility, so it is better to keep the status quo, which is also the source of his objections.

"Prime Minister Zhang is right. Your Majesty, although this battle of Yannan Marquis is of great significance to the country and the family, it should be rewarded! But how to bring all the meritorious soldiers into Beijing? It's better to let His Royal Highness the Marquis of Yannan bring some representatives of meritorious soldiers into Beijing! Hope for Majesty Xià to ponder~"

According to the order of official positions, the speaker this time was Prime Minister Wang Kang. The opposing opinions were clear, and he didn't even save face for Emperor Meng Chang, and his blunt words expressed his meaning bluntly.

"Although the battle of Yannan Marquis in the Han Kingdom is a miracle. But will bringing all the soldiers into Beijing and bringing all the meritorious soldiers into Beijing cause anything unnecessary to happen? ”

Feng Chen, the left envoy of the Privy Council, thought for a long time, and then looked at the expressions of the two bigwigs in front of him. So he said with some thought, although he made a bet on Meng Li, the newly rising dominant stock, but if Meng Li, the Marquis of Yannan, was allowed to lead troops into Beijing, then Meng Li's succession to the throne would be an ironclad matter, and Feng Chen was still not ready for that.

"What Lord Feng said is, besides, although the Northern Expedition established a full attack. But the Southern Hun nobleman named Zhu Kai is also recruiting troops on the grassland, if there is no army to deter, how can it be good! ”

The minister here wants to prevent Meng Li's entry into Beijing. I really turned my brain on at the highest speed. It was precisely because of this that he came up with a reasonable reason. That is Zhu Kai of the Southern Xiongnu, to say that the 5,000 cavalry of Zhu Kai's army can be said to be zero threat to the border fortress. But Zhu Kai, who did not suffer much losses in this battle. Coupled with the recruitment of the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu, it is really possible for him to form a large army. At that time, if he attacked the Yumen Fortress, which had emptied the soldiers and horses, then Yannan Dao would be in danger. …

……

Regardless of whether they have a good impression of Meng Li, or they don't have a good impression of Meng Li, or they are supporters of other princes, they all uphold one opinion anyway, that is, to oppose the emperor's suggestion, and let Yannan Marquis Meng Li bring all the meritorious soldiers into Beijing to be rewarded.

You must know that it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God. For the representatives of the forces in the capital, they have not yet had a particularly good relationship with Yannan Hou. It's so good that people reuse their relationships as soon as they get to power, so in order to ensure their vested interests now. They were still reluctant to take the risk of supporting a new emperor. Besides, at least 20,000 troops entered Beijing, plus the men and horses under his command, if something happens, if this Yannan Marquis mutiny, the first thing to suffer is his own interest groups that share the cake in the capital.

Because people will definitely not touch the clan relatives of the royal family, if they want to seek benefits for his subordinates, they will definitely kill themselves These groups that have nothing to do with him but occupy a lot of resources, then, no matter what Meng Li can do after arriving in the capital, there is no possibility for himself and others to go further.

The reason why the interest groups in the capital resisted Meng Li's claim to be emperor was that there was no guarantee that Meng Li would be able to bring more benefits to his own interest groups. He called the queen and even narrowed down his own benefits. This is not impossible, because there is already an interest group under Meng Li's command, they can be said to be from the ministers of the dragon, and they followed Meng Li to fight in the south and the north, and they sat in a high position, what about themselves? Where to go? Do you want to go home and get soy sauce? Therefore, although they all think that Yannan Hou is heroic and extraordinary, they do not support him to bring a large army into Beijing.

Seeing that even Feng Chen, who had sent his nephew to the Yannan Army, euphemistically expressed his objections, Emperor Meng Chang's brows gradually furrowed. Although he expected that it would be difficult to get a tongguò, or even a pass, he had already made up his mind, and he still brought it up to see what these ministers were thinking.

If someone agrees, he can take advantage of the situation and lay a foundation for Meng Li to subdue him in advance. However, the current situation is really embarrassing for him. Do you have to make a decision, although you will definitely be able to pass guò, but you will definitely make an enemy for Meng Li in advance, and this enemy is still the old snake of the Beijing Group, it's really a headache~

Do you have to make your own decisions? This is bound to expose some problems.

"Lord Feng, what difficulties do you say Lao Jiu will cause when he enters Beijing?"

The emperor changed his question this time, and asked the only minister in this hall who had a good relationship with Meng Li with some tactfulness. However, he was in a somewhat urgent mood, but he still exposed some weaknesses that had been hidden for a long time.

"Majesty, this ......"

Feng Chen was stunned when he heard this question. Okay, aren't you forcing me to agree to your proposal, if I say yes, then you explain the problem and let us overcome it, won't there be no more? Is your mind already in such a hurry?

This time, Feng Chen did not recount his thoughts with discretion, but raised his head slightly, and looked Emperor Meng Chang's expression up and down covertly, could it be that his body was already incorrigible?

You must know that since the news of the recurrence of Emperor Meng Chang's secret injury came out of the palace three years ago, there has been no favorable evidence to confirm the truth of this matter, and the emperor does not come from time to time, and letting the eunuch dissolve the court seems to indicate this. As a result, the news of the recurrence of this dark injury has become more and more intense.

Now, he is so anxious to let Yannan Hou lead the army into Beijing, does he think that his body can no longer bear it? Is it to forcibly support the Marquis of Yannan to ascend to the throne and inherit this great country?

Feng Chen, who had never considered this idea, had this idea for the first time after the emperor couldn't wait to put forward this opinion today, and this idea also made Feng Chen's heart frightened, the transfer of the throne was about to be handed over by him, could it be that the capital, which had been quiet for decades, was there another wave of battle for the throne? …

Turning his head to look at the ministers outside Lingwai, looking at their thoughtful faces, Feng Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head proudly and said with a full heart:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Marquis of Yannan only has some small difficulties in entering Beijing, and His Majesty can solve them by himself."

Feng Chen's words startled a thousand waves in the hall, did you agree? The surrounding ministers raised their heads in surprise, staring at Feng Chen, the left envoy of the Privy Council, with blazing eyes, did he decide to take refuge? With just a nephew who is mixed in the middle of the Yannan Army Group, is it worth his great determination?

"Okay, Feng Dacai is the pillar of our country, what problems can be borne by force, and he must shirk the blame? Otherwise, what use do I want from your ministers? Do you say yes? ”

Emperor Meng Chang, who was chasing after the victory, did not wait for the ministers below to speak against or support, and hurriedly followed Feng Chen's words.

The ministers below did not follow the tone of Emperor Meng Chang, although this would offend the emperor, but they were deeply rooted in the Han Kingdom, where would they be afraid of the emperor?

Looking at the hall that had fallen silent again, Emperor Meng Chang's brows furrowed even tighter, it seemed that there was really something wrong with the attitude of the ministers below? Could it be that Lao Jiu's interests are so different from these people? Won't they think about my thousand-year-old empire? Rather * head than phoenix tail, but can chicken head and phoenix tail be treated the same?

Emperor Meng Chang is deeply worried about these families and interest groups at the moment, Lao Jiu Mengli's military ability is unique, can he better grasp the direction of this kingdom and let him go to the world?

At this moment, although he has made up his mind to recruit Meng Li into Beijing and forcibly help him to ascend to the throne, he is still worried about this thousand-year-old empire, and the prestige of the Han family may be folded in the hands of our future generations! (To be continued)
