Chapter 269: Wind and Rain (1)

Long Jihe and Xu Jingyi held their heads high, as if they didn't know anything.

But in fact, they know everything and know what is going to happen today.

They know that what will happen today will not come to fruition, but they still have to carry it out.

When the time of the last dynasty came, Long Ji and Xu Jingyi glanced at each other for the first time, and then slowly entered the Wangxian Gate.

Today, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the blue sky is suspended above the majestic palace complex, and the atmosphere is the same as it has been for many years.

In the main hall, the young, promising and handsome Majesty was sitting on the dragon chair waiting for them.

In the incense burner, smoke rose from the ground, and the voice of the attendant echoed in the hall without hurry:

"Something to start, nothing to retreat."

The people of the Northern Tang Dynasty often find that they like to do formalism, for example, even if it is the current His Majesty Li Zenan, it is still maintained.

In the huge world, there is nothing that should not be, and nothing is strange.

After a brief silence, a royal historian stepped in.

"The minister has his own music!"

He said.

"Speak." Li Zenan looked at the person below with a calm expression, and it seemed that he was mentally prepared.

"General Xue is for the country and the people, and the ministers are very admired, he was seriously injured in order to chase and kill the thieves, it can be said that he did his best for the Tang Dynasty......"

The Imperial Historian did not hesitate to praise an absent man with flowery rhetoric and tear-jerking tones, and if it weren't for the fact that he was in the court and not on the stage, many people would have burst into tears.

And the most powerful thing is that such people don't even need to read the script, let alone memorize it, it can be said that it is easy to come by.

Listening to this, Li Zenan gradually smiled, although the other party said so many words that sounded very substantial, but in fact the focus had not yet been highlighted, it could be seen that he was still very patient and willing to listen all the time.

"But ......"

Okay, very good, after rendering it for so long, Li Zenan finally heard the turning word, he looked a lot more energetic, he understood, the point is coming.

Some of the other ministers, who were drowsy in their hearings, also seemed to perk up immediately.

Long Ji and He Xu Jingyi glanced at each other and smiled slightly.

"However, after all, General Xue is no longer able to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, he is inconvenient, of course the ministers do not doubt his ability, but the old forces of Southern Wu are by no means idle, and cannot be treated lightly, General Xue's current physical state, becoming a commander has many flaws, this is obvious to all, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice, and before the battle breaks out, send more suitable generals to go!"

Li Zenan smiled and stayed on Long and Xu Jingyi's faces for a while, showing a look of intention or unintention.

The two brothers pretended not to know, but their expressions were quite natural.

Li Zenan's tone sounded very gentle:

"General Xue has fought in northern Xinjiang, his ability is also obvious to all, and he has been recognized and praised by the old general Guanying, and now the old general is martyred, General Zhenwu wants to rebel and was executed, General Dingyuan is fighting hard in northern Xinjiang, there has been no news for a long time, Lin Diao also rushed to northern Xinjiang, General Xue is undoubtedly the only and most suitable candidate, is it that in addition, can you launch other loyal ministers in the future?"

He had already expected all this, Xue Zhao's current state, as long as he was not an idiot, he would be skeptical, but before that, he still eliminated all difficulties and resolutely used Xue Zhao, and then a few people appeared anytime and anywhere First wrote to express doubts, and then directly questioned openly in the last dynasty, the position of prime minister has been vacant since the Zhongshu Ling Guan Qinghe was destroyed, so now he is headed by the Ministry of Shangshu Long and He, and from Long and Xu Jingyi to the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military, they do not agree with their own practices.

He wasn't sure if Xue Zhao could really suppress the old forces of Southern Wu, he just trusted the other party's ability, but now if he doesn't start a battle, he will change the general, it's not his style, he hopes to let Xue Zhao behave a few times, if he can, then this group of people will naturally stop, if not, then it's not too late to remove, with Xue Zhao's ability, it will not be a big defeat, at most a slight defeat.

He is Li Zenan, his decisions are all made, and he does not accept the threats of the ministers.

The servant of the ministry and his superiors looked at each other, suddenly came out of the ranks, and said, "Your Majesty, there are good candidates for the ministers." ”

Li Zenan seemed to be slightly surprised for a moment, because these days, although these people are noisy enough, they are only entangled in the matter that Xue Zhao should not become the commander, as for the new candidate, this is the first time that someone has jumped out to say this.

He lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly became a little curious.

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it. ”

"Shi Junyi, the grandson of the old general Guanying, is familiar with the art of war, and has also followed the old general to the battle, and the former master of the military department Shangshu Xingsheng once talked to him, and his speech and demeanor are decent, especially for the art of war, the answer is like a stream, and he is an unborn genius."

Li Zenan pondered for a moment, and information about this young handsome man flashed in his mind.

He did know that the other party's grandfather was General Guanying, as a general, not to mention this, that young man was just seven out of ten, and he was about the same age as Xue Zhao, and his reputation was indeed not small, and he was recognized as a military genius, and he had a relationship with the other party, which was indeed extraordinary.

This son also followed General Guanying out to fight, and he is a person who has seen a big scene, not to mention the prosperity of the former military department, that is, Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, Wang Du, the general of Zhenwu, and many other cattle are quite appreciative, although Li Xianyue is his enemy, but for the military aspect, he has absolute confidence in Li Xianyue, and the young man that person values is absolutely extraordinary.

It's just that when the first emperor was in power, Shi Junyi has not been able to be reused, so it has been delayed until now, and under the change of dynasty, it has been briefly forgotten by many people.

Now that this group of people has brought out such a figure, it can be seen that it is not groundless.

He nodded, for such a character, it was a little recognized.

Yet he was the first to stick to his opinion.

"This matter is postponed, the battle has not started yet, there is no talk of replacing the general for no reason, and it depends on Xue Zhao's performance."

His attitude was so resolute, and the attitude of the ministers had already shown that many things had to be done gradually, Long Jihe knew this, Xu Jingyi knew, and the other ministers who looked at the two of them also knew.

The topic went elsewhere, and no one would know that the beginning of such a topic today would determine the fate of countless people.
