Chapter Eighty-Seven: Major Military Intelligence
In the Jinluan Treasure Hall of Yi Kingdom, Qi Qingru sat on the dragon chair, and at this time she was no longer disguised as a prince, but restored her original daughter outfit.
Her face is covered with a plain white light veil, and only faint eyebrows and eyes can be seen, which is vague and adds a mysterious beauty.
But no one among the ministers dared to blaspheme, because she was the emperor of the Yi country and the master of the subjects of the Yi country.
Under the Golden Palace, the ministers stood in two rows, and in order of rank, they were Dazai, the dean of the academy, the officials of the six ministries, the imperial history, the commander of the forbidden army, and the Gyeongju Taishou.
These people are all important ministers of Yi Guo, the most core force, and the people who can decide the fate of Yi Guo.
Among them, what is different from other countries is that there are two more imperial histories, which are proposed by Yi Jiuxiao to set up a speech official, specifically for the emperor to advise and impeach officials.
It has been six months since Qi Qingru succeeded to the throne, and she does not go to the morning court every day to hold a court meeting, but routinely only has a court meeting once every five days, and the frequency of court meetings can be increased and decreased in case of special circumstances.
At the court meeting, all the major military affairs were discussed, and ordinary affairs were resolved by Dazai summoning officials from the six ministries. If the emperor's approval is required, the six ministries will write important matters into a chapter and send it to the palace for approval.
Today's court meeting is not a routine court meeting, but a temporary court meeting, because there is a major military situation that needs to be resolved through consultation.
And the time of the meeting is not the usual time, but noon, the noon time of the day.
In fact, compared to cultivators, it is the same at any time, they don't have to eat, they don't have to sleep, and they are not afraid of the dark.
After the chamberlain announced the start of the court meeting, the first to come out was Qi Changguo, the secretary of the military department, that is, Qi Changguo, the king of Anyuan of Qi, but now he is the king of Anyuan of Yi.
Soon after Qi Qingru succeeded to the throne, he arranged for someone to go to Qi State, took his father over, and let him take the important position of secretary of the military department.
Although Qi Changguo didn't like this errand, he couldn't retreat, he had to help his daughter.
There are many people who are going to come from Qi Kingdom, in addition to Qi Qingru's father, her mother and family members will also take over.
In addition, there is another person who wants to come over, and he is Yi Jiuxiao's best friend Wan Shufang.
Since Wan Shumad was only in the late stage of foundation building, he couldn't fly, so the Jin Dan who sent him the letter came back alone.
And Wan Shumad is still on the way, after all, riding a horse through thousands of mountains and rivers is not possible without a few months.
Fortunately, Wan Shufang did not come to Yiguo alone, but accompanied Qi Qingru's mother and other family members.
Princess Qi Qingyun, Qi Bin and Zheng Yuanhu arrived in Gyeongju three months ago, and there was no trouble along the way.
After arriving in Gyeongju City, Qi Qingyun lived in the palace, and lived in the same palace as Qi Qingru.
The 500-man escort formation led by Qi Bin and Zheng Yuanhu has been incorporated into the royal forbidden army of Yi State.
The formation expanded by 500 people to become a 1,000-man formation, led by Zheng Yuanhu, and Qi Bin was transferred to the military department as the right attendant.
There are a lot of things in the military department, and there are not enough personnel, the original military department of Wei has been controlled by the Feng family, but now the Feng family has been killed, and the vacancies have come out.
But Qi Qingru didn't have many suitable people available, so he could only let his father Qi Changguo serve as the secretary of the military department.
Qi Changguo is a sixth-layer cultivator of Jindan, and it is more than enough to serve as the secretary of the military department.
He has only been in charge of the military department for more than two months, and he has been very busy.
The armed forces in various places need to be adjusted and reorganized, and all kinds of military situation handling have been placed in front of him.
Today, he asked the emperor Qi Qingru to convene a court meeting, because there is a major military situation that must be resolved at the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a military situation to report, according to the report of the Zhou State of Zhou, the Zhou State in the north has gathered troops and horses in the country, and is ready to take advantage of the emptiness of the civil war in our country to invade our country from the north. At the same time, news also came from Chen Guo's Tanma in the west, and Chen Guo and Zhou Guo were also thinking the same thing, and they were also gathering people and horses, preparing to attack the western border of our Yi State. ”
Qi Changguo said a long paragraph in one breath, and when he spoke, he still bowed his body, clasped his hands into fists in a salute.
Although the dragon chair above is his biological daughter, but now it is the emperor, and the so-called gift of the monarch and minister, Qi Changguo does not want to take the lead in breaking it.
Qi Qingru sat on the dragon chair, watching her father bend over and talk to her, feeling very uncomfortable.
But it has been this etiquette since ancient times, and it is difficult for she, the emperor, to change, so she can only obey the ancient system.
After listening to what his father said, Qi Qingru spoke: "The military department is still in the book, Zhou and Chen raised troops at the same time, is it an alliance between each other, or is it a coincidence?"
"Back to the emperor, as for whether the two countries are in good contact or go their own way, there is no relevant news yet, and I have sent someone to investigate in the two countries. Yi had previously experienced civil strife, and both the Jindan masters and the border defenders had suffered heavy losses, so the surrounding countries were ready to move, and Yan and Korea were said to want to participate in it. ”
"Yan and South Korea, even such a small country, do they have the courage to do something with us?"
Qi Qingru was very puzzled, Yan Kingdom and South Korea are both small countries, not much bigger than Ning Kingdom.
The two countries have always been vassals of these big countries like Zhou Chen, and it is very difficult to protect themselves, why do they dare to do anything to Yi Guo, and Yi Guo is also a big country.
"The emperor doesn't know that small countries such as Yan and South Korea are the most cunning, and they are the most rudder-watching, and they are the most in the ground, and they heard that there are two big countries that are ready to make a move against Yi Guo, so they also want to get a piece of the pie. ”
Qi Changguo saw that his daughter didn't understand, so he patiently explained to her, it was really pitiful for the parents of the world.
Qi Qingru patted the handle of the dragon chair and said, "Such a small country is really hateful!"
Cannibals have always been tigers and wolves, but humans do not hate them much, on the contrary, they worship their strength and strength.
Although dogs and foxes rarely eat people, or even do not eat people, they are despised and despised by humans because of the cunning of foxes and the help of dogs.
"Your Majesty, if Chen and Zhou really make a move, not only small countries such as Yan and Han, I am afraid that the Xu State in the south and the Qi State in the east will not stand idly by, and they will also take the opportunity to raise troops at that time. ”
What Qi Changguo said was by no means sensational, and it was extremely probable.
As the saying goes, "the wall falls down and everyone pushes it", Yi Guo is really going to be sandwiched by Chen Guo and Zhou Guo, and the rest of the countries will definitely not just watch the excitement, they will definitely be accomplices, even Qi Guo will not be an exception.
"The secretary of the military department, I already know what you said. The military situation this time is indeed very serious, and there is no room for negligence, and fortunately, the military situation was learned early, and there is still some time to deal with it, Dazai, what plan do you have here?"
Qi Qingru looked at Mingyu, and Mingyu hurriedly stepped out of the queue and saluted Qi Qingru.
And Qi Changguo, the king of Anyuan, also took the opportunity to return to the queue and stand up, no longer bending over and arching.
"Back to the emperor, since we have learned the military situation, we have to prepare early, in case of a passive attack at that time, we can let the military department transfer people and horses in various places and move to the border with these two countries first. ”
What Mingyu said is not unreasonable, but there are too many assumptions and uncertainties. In addition, the transfer of troops he said is also not true.
Yi has experienced a civil war, and now there are definitely many fewer troops to mobilize than these two countries, how can it deter these two countries.
Qi Qingru thought of this, but did not make a judgment, but looked at Li Rui, the dean of the academy, who has the responsibility of national policy research and judgment.
"Dean, what do you think of the military situation and the surrounding situation?"
Li Rui also walked out of the queue, and said after giving a salute: "Your Majesty, according to what Weichen has seen, it is difficult to compete with Chen Guo and Zhou Guo with my Yi Country alone, and there is also Yan Han, an accomplice of a small country. Today's plan, we might as well try to contact the Qi country, after all, the Qi country was the emperor's homeland, and we may think of the incense to help each other, so that we may not be afraid of the two countries, otherwise we will be in great trouble!"
When Qi Qingru first ascended the throne, she sat in the court in the guise of the prince, and the courtiers did not know her true identity.
Ten days later, she changed back into her daughter's clothes, and the mystery of her origin gradually appeared in front of the courtiers.
But at this time, the royal elders and the Taimiao all agreed, and it was the queen Li Rong who single-handedly promoted it, what does it matter to these courtiers.
And now the court is basically full of powerful people, who will rebel?
It's just that about the emperor Qi Qingru's birth in the Qi country, although everyone knows it, no one dares to mention it.
Today's events are unusual, Li Rui said this idea, after all, it doesn't matter if you say it now, there won't be much turmoil.
Originally, Li Rui was the most informed person, and he knew the identities of Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru clearly.
"What the dean said is also a way, you can try it, but you can't completely pin your hopes on Qi Guo. Although there is a love of incense, but I am now the emperor of Yi State, in the face of national interests, it is really difficult to say whether family affection can be useful. ”
After saying this, Qi Qingru seemed to be a little sad, and her eyes were slightly red.
Her gaze moved a few steps forward, looked at a person, and said, "Yi Jiuxiao, tell me your opinion!"
Yi Jiuxiao touched his nose, walked out of the queue, and came to the court.
He stood at the end of the queue and the farthest from the emperor, because his official position was small and his rank was low.
Now his official position is the commander of the forbidden army, and this official rank is only the third grade.
Dean Dazai is the first grade, the six books and the imperial history are the second grade, and only he and the Gyeongju Taishou are the third grade, so they can only be in the last place.
But Yi Jiuxiao's small shelf is not small, and after he came out of the ranks, he did not bend over and bow his back like the previous few people, and he was respectful.
I saw him straighten up, looked directly at Qi Qingru and said: "Your Majesty, the two things that Dazai and the dean said can be walked, and they will act soon, but I still want to take another road, this road has not been thought about yet, I will tell you after I think about it."
