"Oh, Prince Zhongshun, I haven't seen you for a long time." Several ministers came forward to salute with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many days, but the prince is getting better?" ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and bowed his head, "I'm tired of worrying about a few people, this king is much better." ”

Someone lowered his voice and said with a smile: "The big court meeting arranged by the saint is not yet neat, and the prince is also coming for the sake of the saint." ”

Xiao Xiao squinted at this person, the people who could come to Fengtianmen to listen to the government at the Great Dynasty Meeting were all Beijing officials above the fourth grade, this person was an old minister of the Ministry of Officials, and belonged to the old ministers of the Northern Hebei State.

"Lord Lin knows this king." Xiao Xiao smiled faintly, so that people could not see joy and anger.

But the discerning people around him could hear that what he said was quite ambiguous, and it was easy to think that he was being sarcastic. And Xiao Xiao did not show any dissatisfaction.

There are noble generals who pass by and see that they are so tolerant, and they can't help but be full of anger and can't suppress it.

When they were fighting to protect their families and defend the country outside, these civil servants only knew about intrigue, and if they didn't help, they would just stumble behind them. They are the ones who are fighting desperately, but it is this group of corpse vegetarian guys who are in high power. What kind of character is Xiaoxiao? That's the terrifying god of war, and everyone calls him a bad embryo behind his back! Now he has been repeatedly suppressed and treated harshly by the saints, not to mention the ruin of the troubled family, and even the prince's temper has been worn out at this time.

How many grievances did this have to make the prince bow his head? What is the difference between the prince who bows his head and the tiger wolf whose sharp teeth have been removed?

The generals and nobles felt uncomfortable, some were good at forbearance, and they just walked over with their heads down, and some people were short-tempered and spat on the spot, and they didn't name names, but said: "A group of silverfish!" ”

Xiao Xiao looked funny, didn't say much, shook his head and went to the place where the court meeting was located, and stood in the first place of the military generals according to his identity.

Although Ji Zeyu has long had experience in breaking the enemy, the chances of success are greater when he joins forces with himself in the capital, and many people, whether they have expressed their stance or not, whether they have been to the palace to lobby or not, they all hope that they can stand up with Ji Zeyu to fight against the Tatars.

He didn't care what other people thought, he was already mentally prepared, if the Holy Lord gave an order, he would immediately receive the order and do it. His mind was simple. No matter what Li Qitian has done, the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and whoever wants to come to mix and make peace must be mentally prepared to be cut off, and the Tatars are also foreigners, and he will never allow the people to fall into the hands of the Tatars.

Today's Fengtian Temple is exceptionally quiet. Everyone has an account in their hearts.

At this moment, a hoarse and high-pitched voice unique to the inner prison resounded through the square.

"Holy court, ministers, kneel!"

The crowd shouted long live and knelt down neatly to salute.

Although the injury did not go anywhere, he also bowed with others and kowtowed, and did not exceed the rules for half a point.

Li Qitian walked up the imperial steps in bright yellow, sat in the first place, and then looked at the person headed by the generals.

The courtiers waited quietly for the order, and only waited for the words of "there is no book to retreat from the court", and then they would make a proposal to the Holy Lord, and the prince of Zhongshun would go out to Tatar.

But no one can know what Li Qitian is thinking today.

He coughed, the inner supervisors retreated one after another, and Li Qitian stood up and said impassionedly: "At today's court meeting, I have a few decisions to announce. ”

Everyone was nervous, waiting for Li Qitian's words.

He lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, as steady and self-contained as before, as if the sword was still in its scabbard, as if he was not touched at this time.

Xiao Xiao was calm, but some officials were nervous.

Li Qitian saw everyone's performance clearly, and he could cause so many people to be nervous with one sentence, and Li Qitian was very satisfied.

But seeing that Xiao Xiao still had the same expression, as if nothing could shake him, Li Qitian only felt that his heart was full of an irrepressible atmosphere.

Again, it was as if he had been laughing at himself, mocking himself, and he had not taken his will to heart at all!

Li Qitian is more and more sure that his decision is correct at this time!

Li Qitian stood up and took the lead: "Gao Wenliang is the commander of the Tiger Army, and the Shuai army will reinforce Huichuan with 100,000 troops!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire court was silent, and everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, and they couldn't react for a long time.

It is true that the Tiger Ben Army is brave, but the only one who can bring out the Tiger Ben Army's ability to the extreme is to bring out the Tiger Ben Army's Xiao Xiao!

Before today's court meeting, many people thought that Xiao Xiao would definitely be ordered to go out and regain control of the Tiger Army. It's just that no one could have imagined that the Holy Lord would be so jealous of Xiao Xiao, Ning Yuan was threatened by the Tatars, and he refused to teach him the Tiger Ben Army again!

Those Wenchen generals who hoped to go out on the expedition could not return to their senses in shock. And those officials who secretly belonged to the Qiu family were even more turbulent at this time, trembling nervously.

They had done their homework, and the Holy One had ordered someone to persuade them. Who would have thought that now, the Holy Lord had not even considered their thoughts! There is no way to arrange for the battle with confidence!

As for Gao Wenliang, he was shocked at this time. He used to be Ji Zeyu's subordinate, and later his career went smoothly and rose all the way, and he admired Ji Zeyu and Xiao Xiao in his heart. This is not unusual, which military general in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty does not admire Ji Zeyu and Xiao Xiao?

But he never thought that he would one day be the commander of the Tiger Army!

"Holy. "The minister ......" Gao Wenliang strode out, saluted, and said in a rough voice: "The minister is afraid, the minister is ......"

"What, Marshal Gao still wants to resist the decree?"

Li Qitian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he had already lowered his face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Aren't you willing to go out to fight against the Tatars with the Duke of Dingguo?" ”

"Of course the minister is willing, but the minister is still inexperienced, and I'm afraid that he will ......"

"It doesn't matter. You just have to take the order! ”

Listening to Li Qitian's voice, Gao Wenliang didn't dare to say more, so he could only salute the ducks on the shelves.

During this period, Li Qitian has been observing the situation of Xiao Xiao. Seeing Xiao Xiao standing with his hands down, looking at his nose and nose, as if there was no accident at all, Li Qitian was even more angry.

Isn't Xiao Zhixi a native of the Great Zhou, and there is no emotional fluctuation about the expedition?

Since this is the case, Li Qitian did not hesitate, "Xiao Zhixi." ”

"The minister is here. He strode forward and saluted respectfully.

All the civil and military officers looked in the direction of the owl.

Li Qitian said: "The disaster situation in the south is serious, and you have been outside for disaster relief when the earth dragon turned over, and the experience must have been a lot richer." We are also more confident in dealing with disaster relief. The people are the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will hand over this errand to you, you are the special envoy for disaster relief, and you will be sent to the south to govern and quell the floods, so as not to go to the suffering of the people! ”

Everyone was even more exaggerated than the stunned mouths just now.

Dajia are all smart people, what else do you not understand at this time?

The saint is obviously jealous of Prince Zhongshun, and he doesn't dare to let him get a little bit of the Tiger Army, preferring to let him have an outstanding ability and is very likely to expel the Tatar God of War to relieve the disaster!

Indeed, Xiao Xiao has experience in disaster relief and has rich experience. But when I went to the south for disaster relief, it was because the earth dragon turned over, and the affected places must be limited in size.

But now? This year, the Great Zhou Dynasty continued to have natural and man-made disasters, and the saint took the already insufficient silver to repair the emperor's mausoleum. The emptiness of the treasury did not come up with a proper solution to the problem, but let it go, resulting in the treasury of grain not being fully replenished, and at the critical moment, the granaries of the Great Zhou could not hold on!

The people have nothing to eat, and there are black-hearted businessmen all over the country who hoard grain and sell it at a high price! The people have to calculate what they eat on weekdays, not to mention the sky-high prices of grain sold by those black-hearted merchants? They can't afford to eat, so they can only endure and eat the root turf. Some people came out to flee the famine because they couldn't survive in their hometowns, and some people organized people to attack the yamen in various places, and they rebelled in four places in just this month.

Now that the Holy Lord has given this errand to the owl, it is self-evident what to do.

Defend against foreign enemies, even if you are poor, the saint will take out the money.

But if the sage goes to disaster relief, if the saint does not take the money out, the disaster relief cannot be carried out, if the disaster relief cannot be carried out, who is the resentment of the people in the world? At that time, the first thing they resent was the official who hosted the host!

This move of the saint is too vicious. He took advantage of this chaos to get Xiao Xiao to completely explain here, so that he could have enough time to fabricate charges for Xiao Xiao, so that he could get rid of the big trouble in his heart.

However, at such a time of internal and external troubles, the Holy One is still only concerned about removing the hidden danger of threatening the throne in order to consolidate his position, is this really responsible?

The corners of his mouth curled up self-deprecatingly.

Should he feel his weight in Li Qitian's mind at this time?

It's too hard to focus on it like this, and he should really be honored.

But Li Qitian really doesn't care about the Tatar foreign enemy?

I understood it when I thought about it.

It's not that Li Qitian doesn't care about Tatar, and it's not that he doesn't want to destroy Tatar and boost the country's prestige. What he made was a "two-pronged" decision, Ji Zeyu once broke the Tatars, and this time the Tiger Army joined, Li Qitian was sure that even if the Tyrant was not there at this time, Ji Zeyu and Gao Wenliang would be able to easily take down the Tatars.

When the time comes, the field will be cleaned up, and then the last crime of Xiao An will be solved, and Li Qitian will be able to really sit back and relax.

He smiled, and in the blink of an eye, he thought through this, and his face was already calmer than ever.

"Obey." He bowed and saluted, touching the wound on his buttocks, and his movements were momentary in pain. However, Xiao Xiao stood up as if nothing happened, and asked in the hall: "Holy Lord, the disaster in the south is serious, how much rice, silver, money and medicinal materials have been prepared by the Holy Lord for disaster relief?" After such an order, the minister should go and count and prepare in advance. ”

When Li Qitian heard this, his face darkened.
