Chapter 277: The Whole Country Moves
Changxing City, Zhenwu Palace.
Emperor Hongwei looked at the sand table full of red and blue flags, and the military ministers around him carefully looked at his face, no one spoke, only Wang Shun stood beside him with his head down, still looking like a dead man.
A few days ago, Xiao Jinwu's recital was sent to the capital, and he speculated that the Southern Dynasty army of the Northern Qi Dynasty was just a trick, at most it played a role in countermeasures, and the real direction of the attack of King Wuling should be Xichuan, thousands of miles away.
Xiao Jinwu left behind the southeast defense line that defended the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Southern Dynasties in the Northern Qi Dynasty without authorization, and led 90,000 border troops to aid Xichuan in the starry night, and asked for an order to send more main forces from the north to Xichuan to start a decisive battle with King Wuling.
As soon as the song arrived, it immediately caused an uproar, not to mention whether the king of Wuling really appeared in Xichuan, just Xiao Jinwu privately changed the battle plan approved by the saint, abandoned the southeast defense line, and mobilized 90,000 troops across several provinces without the holy decree, which may have killed his entire family.
At best, this matter is said to be judging the situation and taking responsibility, but what if he is wrong? The lives of the entire country, the emperor, and countless dignitaries will be immediately exposed to the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Southern Dynasty in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Those hundreds of thousands of elites of the Southern Dynasty were like a sword, hanging high above the heads of the emperor and the northern kingdom, and no one knew when it would fall, which made people shudder in their hearts.
Whether it is a quick decision or a major crime of rebellion, Xiao Jinwu's fate is all in the mouth, pen and pen of the courtiers, and the thoughts of Emperor Hongwei, but everyone knows that the higher the status, the more life-saving, suspicious, and selfish it is!
That night, Emperor Hongwei urgently summoned Hong Guangli, the governor of the left capital, Prince Bao, the prime minister, Huang Tingzhi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Liu Yi, the governor of the right capital, and the six Shangshu and the commander of the twelve guards of the Beijing Division, and had a secret conversation all night.
However, as soon as the secret talk was over, Emperor Hongwei locked himself in the south study, and did not go to the court for a few days, and there were immediately different opinions and rumors in the court.
What's even more strange is that all the lords who participated in the secret conversation that night were very secretive about the content of the secret conversation and the current situation, as if the top decision-making level of the empire was suddenly dumb.
However, some people found that although the emperor and the lords did not speak, the cabinet, the six ministries and the twelve guards of the capital division were secretly transferred, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.
This time, there are even more opinions in the court, which is already panicked.
And at this time, Emperor Hongwei suddenly came out of the customs and summoned Daqi, but the location was changed to the Zhenwu Palace.
The Zhenwu Palace is a place to discuss military affairs, and it will only be opened at the time of the war, and the big election has released a strong signal in the Zhenwu Palace, and a strong cloud of war will immediately completely envelop the prosperous Changxing City.
What's even more solemn is that when the officials walked into the Zhenwu Palace, they found that Emperor Hongwei had already arrived, and they were standing motionless on the side of the sand table, staring intently at the small flag above, with a very solemn expression.
The officials did not dare to disturb and hurriedly stood in their places, waiting for the head of the empire to speak.
"Is there any movement in the main force of the Southern Dynasty in Northern Qi?"
After a long time, Emperor Hongwei finally withdrew his gaze from the sand table and asked in a low voice.
Qin Zhen, the right attendant of the military department, came out of the squad and said: "Qi Qi Shengshang, after Xiao Jinwu, the commander of the southern front, marched westward, Hu Yue, the left attendant of the military department, continued to sit in the southeast camp and monitor the Southern Dynasty army in the south in the Northern Qi, so far, the enemy's hundreds of thousands of elites are still staying on the coast of the East China Sea and have not moved. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Hongwei's face slackened slightly, and he slowly took a step, returned from the sand table to the back of the dragon case, and sat back.
"Okay, you all know everything, let's talk about it."
His right hand was on the arm of the dragon chair, and he struggled to prop up his head, and said vaguely.
Hearing this, Tang Huaixin, the secretary of the ministry, immediately prepared to leave the class, and he carried a letter in his arms, which was the accusation of impeaching Xiao Jinwu for the six major crimes of rebellion.
In the past few days, he has worked hard for this letter, in addition to fabricating charges, every word and every detail in it has been carefully scrutinized, once it is really thrown, he is eighty percent sure that he can bring Xiao Jinwu down.
Xiao Jinwu has a heavy army, although he is not opposed to the civilian official group, but he is by no means a person all the way, not to mention that he is a closed disciple of Hong Guangli, and he is naturally a staunch princeling.
How could Tang Huaixin, who was on the side of King Liao, let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Thinking of this, Tang Huaixin couldn't wait any longer, took a deep breath, took out the letter and was about to leave the class.
But as soon as he moved under his feet, he was immediately pulled by his sleeve, and when he looked back, it was Du Ruo, the head of the household book, who shook his head gloomily.
Tang Huaixin was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask for an understanding, but he heard Du Ruo whisper in his ear: "Xiao Jinwu has already handed over the handle, but now that the national disaster is at hand, it is not the time to take him!" ”
As he spoke, he bowed to Huang Tingzhi, the head of the cabinet who was sitting at the head of Wenchen.
Tang Huaixin turned his head to look, only to see Huang Tingzhi's eyes closed, his expression relaxed, as if he was asleep, and there was no sign of speaking at all.
Tang Huai's confidence tightened, and he hurriedly retracted the foot that had just taken half a step, although he didn't know the reason for this for the time being, but since the head of the civil official didn't speak, he immediately dispelled the first thought.
"Why, no one spoke?"
Emperor Hongwei sat on the dragon chair and asked coldly, his tone was already a little impatient.
A group of officials looked at each other, obviously there were many people who wanted to speak, but the snobbish heads of each family did not even give a decent hint, and under the unclear situation, who didn't want to be the first bird.
At this moment, a seventh-grade petty official in his thirties suddenly stood up.
"Inspector Yu Shi Zhang Hui has a book to make up! Enlightened the saint, Xiao Jinwu, the secretary of the military department and the commander of the border army of the southern line, left his post without permission, privately mobilized 90,000 troops through the state and province, and abandoned the safety of the country without regard for it, which was really misleading the country and the people, and deceiving the king, and the minister impeached him for twelve major crimes, please ...... the saint"
"Smack!"
Before Zhang Hui finished speaking, a porcelain cup flew out from behind the dragon case and fell right at his feet and shattered.
As soon as he looked up, he saw that Emperor Hongwei was like a fierce tiger down the mountain, staring at him up and down with a gloomy face, he was suddenly startled, and quickly knelt down, and the rest of the officials also looked at the emperor in horror.
Emperor Hongwei leaned forward slightly, and sneered: "I know that a big call is impeachment!" Although there are more people, there is less attention. ”
As he spoke, Emperor Hongwei's gaze fell on the trembling Zhang Hui again: "Zhang Hui, if I remember correctly, you are Hongwei's twelve-year Tanhua, right?" ”
"The saint is well-read and strong, and the minister is indeed the flower of Hongwei's twelve years of exploration."
Zhang Hui nodded hurriedly and replied with sincere fear.
"Do you know why I transferred you to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Emperor Hongwei asked, squinting his eyes.
Zhang Hui shook his head: "Minister...... I don't know ......"
Emperor Hongwei said coldly: "It's a good thing that you are jealous and hateful, but everything must be prioritized, otherwise you will pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.
At present, the army of the Southern Dynasties is eyeing each other, if what Xiao Jinwu said is true, Wuling Lao'er may cross Xichuan at any time and go straight to the capital, and the death of the country is in front of you, but you are still holding on to the dogma, isn't this stupid? ”
Speaking of the last few words, Emperor Hongwei slapped the dragon case with a "snap" sound, and the bodies of the courtiers jumped violently with this "snapping sound".
"Ministers are dull, but ministers are ...... of grace"
Zhang Hui was frightened in his heart and kowtowed again and again.
Emperor Hongwei waved his hand and said: "It seems that you really failed to comprehend the holy will, since the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't teach you, then you will go to the army to learn, when can you distinguish priorities, when will you come back!"
Message! Inspector Yushi Zhang Hui did not distinguish between the severity and the severity, and was deeply disappointed, so he was immediately transferred to the secretary of the army of the southeast border army battalion to be reasonable! ”
"Minister...... Thank you, Lord Longn......"
was kicked out of the capital like this, Zhang Hui's face was suddenly like ashes, and his eyes almost fainted, and finally he was able to support Xie En, and immediately two royal forest soldiers came over, put his arms on his hands, and dragged him out of the hall.
There was silence in the Zhenwu Palace, Huang Tingzhi glanced at his old opponent Prince Bao who was sitting opposite him, and Prince Bao, who was looking at his nose and nose, raised his head and smiled at him, Huang Tingzhi nodded slightly in return, and then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
At this time, Tang Huaixin was already covered in cold sweat, and he was afraid for a while when he remembered what had happened, and he finally understood why Emperor Hongwei wanted to call up.
It turned out that the emperor had never doubted Xiao Jinwu's intentions, and he locked himself up for two whole days, not thinking about how to deal with Xiao Jinwu, but preparing to fight a decisive battle.
For the sake of this decisive battle, the emperor must temporarily silence all opposition voices, and today's big rise is to make an example of the monkeys and silence those who want to speak the opposite.
Tang Huaixin noticed that after disposing of Zhang Hui, the emperor's eyes were clearly a little unfinished, obviously thinking that Zhang Hui's official position was too small, and he was worried that a small Zhang Hui was not enough to be a good monkey-respecting chicken.
If Du Ruo hadn't stopped him, once he went out to impeach Xiao Jinwu, I am afraid that nine times out of ten he would have become the chicken that Emperor Hongwei was most satisfied with......
"Why, don't you talk anymore?"
Emperor Hongwei glanced at the ministers, and seeing that no one dared to speak anymore, he sneered: "Since you don't dare to speak, let those who dare to speak!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Yi, the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, immediately went out and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, the twelve guards of the Beijing Division have been assembled, and the army's grain, grass, and ordnance are readily available. ”
"Good!"
Before the words fell, Emperor Hongwei stood up and shouted: "This is the courage that my dignified Great Wei should have!" This time, I want to move the whole country and completely separate myself from Wuling Lao'er! ”
This sentence is like a tsunami in the mountains, lingering in the hall for a long time, and everyone's hearts are shocked.
However, somewhere in the front of the hundred officials, a pair of cold eyes stared at Emperor Hongwei, sneering in his heart.
"It's really a good duet, but I don't know if you can still have this ambition in a few months, hehehe......"
