Chapter 57: Attack on Chang'an (4)
Seeing that most of everyone's emotions had calmed down, the palace general hugged his fist towards Li Zenan and slowly walked out with those guards.
At this point, Long Jihe didn't want to say more, he returned to his position, and Xu Jingyi staggered, and there was a brief eye contact between them.
No one knows what's in those eyes.
"Your Majesty," Xu Jingyi bowed respectfully to Li Zenan and said, "The minister believes that General Zhenwu should have his own plans, as for the military deployment, we civil officials may only see those things on the surface, and nothing else, but ......"
He paused, glanced up at Li Zenan's face slightly, and lowered his head very quickly.
Because, he saw that the corners of Li Zenan's lips were slightly hooked.
Those generals all heard something from between his two words, "but", and they all raised their eyebrows, but with the experience of the past, they all remained silent, they didn't know whether Li Zenan deliberately connived at this group of old ministers to doubt Wang Du, or Li Zenan really held the opinion of letting them express their opinions.
Xu Jingyi knows very well that at this moment, he can't continue to be cunning and muddy, he does have the same worries as Long and others, because once Wang Du really has that kind of mentality, it is too dangerous, as a person who supports Li Zenan, he Xu Jingyi will definitely suffer a very heavy price.
"However, as Lord Long said, General Zhenwu's deployment is really strange, using the boundary of the capital of a country as the place for a decisive battle is really risky, and it is also difficult to explain at all, I am afraid that General Zhenwu ...... I mean, in case he has a bad idea......"
He didn't say any more, but arched his hand towards Li Zenan, and was no longer willing to continue.
No one immediately yelled at him for something, because the generals believed that Li Zenan should give them a chance to refute.
"So, Lord Xu, what do you think, how should that be solved?" Li Zenan smiled and said suddenly.
His smile shone like a bright yellow dragon robe.
"Send an envoy to ask General Zhenwu what he means, it shouldn't be long, if he can't come up with a reason, his intentions need to be investigated." Xu Jingyi said loudly.
Li Zenan tilted his head slightly, looked at the intricate patterns carved on it, and asked:
"Aiqing, do you know that when you are outside, you will not be affected by the king's order?"
His words made Xu Jingyi, Long He and others slightly stunned, and then most of the civil officials said in unison:
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Yes, if it were someone else, they could accept Li Zenan's so-called "will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected", but that person is Wang Du, the general of Zhenwu!
Wang Du and Li Zenan have a disagreement, and everyone knows that the night he was in Chang'an, he played an extremely disgraceful role for Li Zenan.
Li Zenan raised his hand, but he did not put forward any decisive words, but said:
"Got it, Lord Xu, you can step aside."
His eyes fell on General Cai's face and nodded towards the other party:
"General Cai, what do you think?"
At this moment, Li Zenan signaled that he could put forward his own opinions, and immediately walked to the middle of the queue in a few steps, and Xu Jingyi, who was returning to the team, was taken aback, for fear that the guy would punch him, but fortunately, the guy was quite sensible, so he ignored him at all, and hurriedly spoke:
"Your Majesty, for that group of old guys' slander against General Zhenwu, the last general will not accept it!!"
He was almost yelling, growling.
Li Zenan smiled and waved his bright yellow sleeves, and said, "You don't need to say it, I can see your dissatisfaction." ”
"What do you think of the deployment of Zhenwu General Wang Du?"
General Cai knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists:
"Your Majesty, General Zhenwu has been famous for a long time, and he has made the sudden people frightened in northern Xinjiang, although he is only five or six years older than me, but in front of him, the last general can really only be regarded as a junior, please forgive the last general's clumsiness, I can't understand General Wang's ability to participate in the creation, but what the last general can affirm is his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, which is definitely Geng Geng!"
"You can't understand that guy's deployment at all, and you say you support him, it's just a joke!" Not far away, Long Jihe sneered, as if he was very satisfied with the self-contradiction of this general who was not very good at talking, and immediately caught and cross-examined.
However, Long Jihe was much calmer than the others, and other than that, he didn't say anything else, which caused dissatisfaction among others, even Li Zenan.
"Huh, then you get it? Who the hell is talking about it! General Cai snorted coldly and asked the old minister.
Long Jihe raised his head and ignored him.
General Cai clenched his fist again and said to Li Zenan: "Please believe in the loyalty of General Zhenwu, although he may have done irrational behavior in the past, but Your Majesty was kind and forgave him, presumably he is also grateful to Your Majesty for a long time!" ”
Li Zenan nodded and said, "General Zhenwu's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is in my eyes, and I know these very well. ”
What he said was very skillful, he didn't say loyalty to himself, but threw out "Datang", that is because he knew very well that Wang Du really did not have "loyalty" to himself, if it weren't for that "Datang", that guy would have rebelled a long time ago.
However, General Cai's rectum did not discover the information implied in these words, but felt particularly pleased that Li Zenan recognized Wang Du's "loyalty".
"Zuo Sanqi Chang Shi, can you tell me about it?"
Li Zenan's eyes fell on Lin Diao, who was also a military general.
Time has passed, and many people in the court have changed their official positions, some have soared, and some have plummeted, but people like Lin Diao have basically not changed, but there are relatively few people.
No one knows what the mystery is in this, but compared to Long Jihe, who also lost his son, he seems to be more lonely and thin.
He came out with a gloomy face, and the general Cai returned to his seat.
Lin Diao's whole person originally belonged to the temperament of slaughter, but since his last son was killed that night, his temperament changed slightly, becoming extremely gloomy and dangerous.
As he walked by, most of the civil servants on one side felt their bodies tremble.
