Chapter 51: The Two Factions Fight
"The subordinates don't dare." Liu Jianjun recognized his mistake quickly, but on his face, he didn't think so.
"Hmph." Su Jingye snorted coldly, "But Liu Jianjun is also right, even if he is out on the expedition and the general is the greatest, the rules still can't be abolished." There you go. β
Jiang Liuyu was puzzled, and only after Liu Jianjun left, did he ask in a low voice. "Jingye, why did you agree, you don't have to be so honest."
"Are you such an honest and stubborn person?" Su Jingye made her laugh and pulled her to sit down and roast the fire. "Tell the prison guard to go back and report, I also have two distractions."
Seeing Jiang Liuyu's eyes wide open, Su Jingye explained carefully: "I came here to see if the emperor really believed me, and I came here to see who was most opposed to my expedition in the court, so that I could find the person who colluded with the traitor." β
"Then what if the emperor refuses to believe you and wants to ask you to return to the court?" Jiang Liuyu was a little worried.
"This is just a journey, for the sake of the world, Your Majesty will not let me go back, but things will be more difficult to do in the future." Su Jingye took a branch and stirred the fire, "If you really let me go back, then it's just right, I'll accompany you and travel around." β
Jiang Liuyu looked at him and smiled, his smile was particularly bright in the firelight. "You won't go, it's a trip, and we can also travel to the front line."
"Those who know me, Ruyu also." Su Jingye also smiled back.
When he went to the court, the letter of the prison army spread to every official of the imperial court. It is still the civil officials who talk a lot, and the military attachΓ©s avoid it.
"Your Majesty, King Jing has been on the expedition for less than half a month, and there are only eight or nine out of ten of the 100,000 troops left, which is enough to prove that King Jing is not suitable for leading troops to fight, please give an order to King Jing to return to the palace as soon as possible."
"I called King Jing back to the palace, could it be that Lord Zhang wants to go out for King Jing?" Su Yutian hadn't made up his mind yet, just watched the people below arguing on the dragon chair.
"That's not what Xia Guan meant," Lord Zhang was still very reasonable, but the other person standing behind him spoke up before him, "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness King Jing was defeated when he came out, it was because of the traitor's ambush and sneak attack that he was so caught off guard. β
"Lord Bao's words are not right, if it is just this small ambush, you can lose so many people, then it is really on the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and His Royal Highness King Jing will not have time to take precautions." Master Zhang and the others immediately echoed.
Lord Bao and the others were not happy, "A little ambush, Lord Zhang got up and went through a hundred battles, or is he familiar with military books?" The strategy of this mountain fire attack was so lightly said by the adults, and the lower officials really obeyed. β
"Could it be that Lord Bao has been on the battlefield, or has he memorized all the art of war in this world? Otherwise, how to say so sure. Master Zhang sneered.
"Enough, you and I will say a word, and I will have a headache when I quarrel." Su Yutian said in a deep voice, and all the officials could hear the anger in his tone. "No matter how easy this matter is, you all step down."
The little eunuch shouted: "Retreat!" Su Yutian didn't wait for them to finish their auspicious words when they knelt down, and strode directly to the harem.
Su Ruiwen was watering the flowers, and he had already known about Su Jingye's loss of soldiers, and he also expected that Su Yutian would come to him.
"The son greets his father." Su Yutian endured the anger in his chest, stood aside, and quietly watched Su Ruiwen watering the flowers.
Su Ruiwen dragged out a pillar of incense, and waited for Su Yutian's anger to almost dissipate before slowly turning around.
"Yutian, look at how these flowers are raised by my father."
Su Yutian was irritable in his heart, where did he have the heart to look at the flowers, so he only replied according to common sense: "Father's flowers are naturally the best." β
After speaking, Father-in-law Su laughed, and Su Ruiwen pretended to be angry and pointed at him. Su Yutian looked over puzzled, only to find that what Su Ruiwen planted turned out to be a flower of Wan Nianqing.
"When I told you it was a flower, you thought it was a flower, but in fact, you already had an idea in your heart." Su Ruiwen sat on the stone bench with a light smile, and Father-in-law Su hurriedly put a soft cushion on him first.
"If you have a plan, why bother to ask me again." Su Ruiwen pointed, and Su Yutian also sat down.
"The son is just for his father's words, and he believes in King Jing, but for King Jing's ability, the son is not sure yet." As he spoke, Su Yutian clenched his fists, "I can only hate those people, one by one, I only know about infighting, and I can't even say anything practical and useful, my son is really angry." β
"Three years of ice, how can it freeze in one day." Su Ruiwen poured a cup of tea, the tea was fragrant and refreshing. "This matter can be slowly figured out, first to stabilize the present."
"What does my father mean, but also want his sons to continue to appoint King Jing?"
Su Ruiwen didn't answer directly, "You are the emperor now, you should make your own decision." β
Su Yutian pondered for a while, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened, "Yes, my son knows, and he will live up to his father's teachings." β
The next day, when I went home, I speculated about Su Yutian's intentions when I went home yesterday, and today I felt that Su Yutian might agree to recall Su Jingye, after all, the majority of people supported the change of coach.
Therefore, in the main hall, Lord Zhang and the others were all high-spirited, and they were energetically waiting for Su Yutian's announcement from the Heavenly Dynasty. And the likes of Bao Daren scoffed at them and didn't care so much about the result.
"Your Majesty is on court."
With the eunuch's sharp voice, Su Yutian stepped up to the dragon chair and sat down, first looked at everyone in the hall, and specially asked Xiao Quanzi to pass the names of the officials who should go to the court. The ministers were shocked, they had never been like this before, how could they be named today?
"Back to Your Majesty, except for the old general who was injured and recuperating at home, all the adults have arrived."
After Xiao Quanzi finished speaking, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were many people who did not come in the past, but today it is just to join in the fun, to see which one wins, and the minister will rarely come.
"Okay, now that we're all here, I'll announce it." Su Yutian said, actually stood up and paced back and forth on the stage. "Yesterday in the hall, those who supported the change of coach stood in the majority, and those who supported the continued appointment of King Jing stood in the minority."
Hearing this, Master Zhang and his ilk couldn't help but show a smug look.
However, Su Yutian's words changed, "But your decision is just to give me a reference, since there are still people who support the continued appointment of King Jing, it means that King Jing has been away from the government for many years, but his ability is still optimistic, therefore, I don't mind giving him a chance." β
Lord Bao and his ilk and Lord Zhang were all stunned, but before Lord Bao said anything, Lord Zhang began to howl: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, but the ministers are for the sake of the country......
Before he finished speaking, Su Yutian looked at me coldly: "Lord Zhang's words, don't you say that I am arbitrary and brainless, or do you think that if there are many of you, you can influence my thoughts?" β
"Wechen doesn't dare." Su Yutian's sudden momentum frightened Master Zhang so much that a drop of sweat flowed from the top of his head.
"Then it's decided, I have sent someone to inform King Jing, telling him to lead his troops with peace of mind and come back with a good victory."
"The emperor is wise." Bao Daren and his ilk were victorious, and they were finally happy.
Su Yutian has been an emperor for so long, and it is the first time that he has intimidated the courtiers with absolute intimidation. And whether this majesty will become a joke depends on Su Jingye's record.
Su Jingye, I have high hopes for you, don't let me down. Su Yutian looked at the many people in the hall and exhaled softly.
Su Yutian did what he said, and the messenger ran to Su Jingye's garrison within a few days.
"The emperor has an order to order King Jing to continue to lead troops until the traitors are annihilated."
"Obey." Regardless of whether the army was happy, senseless or annoyed, Su Jingye was still happy the first moment he heard the news.
"Now, we can rest assured that we have no worries." Jiang Liuyu got up and smiled.
The army walked for a few more days, and came to rest in a valley. Worried that there would be another traitor ambush, Su Jingye ordered that everyone stay at the mouth of the valley and not be allowed to enter. At night, Taniguchi's style is extraordinary, and the soldiers can only find a few more boulders in order to withstand some cold winds.
Su Jingye lit a pile of firewood under the rocks, looked at the map by the firelight, and discussed tomorrow's actions by the way.
"You see, at the current speed, in just half a day, it will be close to the domain of the King of Nanyang, Nanyang City." Su Jingye pointed to the route on the map, "The king of Nanyang swallowed two border cities in a row from Nanyang City to the north, but the three cities did not form a corner, if we take advantage of the weakness to enter, it should be easy to collapse." β
"But what the strength of the King of Nanyang is, we don't know enough exactly, and it is not appropriate to attack rashly." Jiang Liuyu was a little worried, and the deputy general also agreed, "What the princess said is reasonable. β
"I know, so, I plan to divide the troops into two ways tomorrow, you see," Su Jingye gestured on the map, "The southern city is some distance from Nanyang City, but it is not too far, as long as the troops are sent to attack the city, the king of Nanyang will definitely send troops to support." In this way, we can take Nanyang City directly and break his foundation. β
"Your Highness, there are not many people left in the army, how can you divide the army into two ways?" Liu Jianjun came to spoil the scenery again, "The troops on both sides are insufficient, I'm afraid that both sides will lose the battle and return." β
"The team going to Nanbian City is just a feint, and the main attack is in Nanyang City." This is a serious meeting, and Su Jingye has no time to argue with him, "Although we don't know how many troops the King of Nanyang has, but the land of Nanyang is slightly barren, and there is not so much grain and grass for the army to consume. β
"As long as we set up an ambush on this grain route, and treat them in return with the way of others, and cut off the supply of the city, we can surrender the army without a fight."
Jiang Liuyu and the deputy general both agreed, only Liu Jianjun objected, "This grain and grass route is not so easy to peep into the wind, the king of Nanyang must be hidden very deep like a treasure, maybe it is possible to transport grain at night, and there are heavy troops." β
"This night march is a great disadvantage to our side,-"
