"Your Majesty, Wang Ming'an, the general of Zhenyuan, did not obey the emperor's order and attacked without authorization, resulting in a great defeat and heavy losses for our army, and his crime should be punished. The minister implored His Majesty to issue an order to punish Wang Mingan with military law to boost the morale of the army! ”

Early the next morning, Zhao Yuan went to court for the first time. It's not because he can't wait to stretch out his hand to the court, but because something big happened in the court. The news of the battle at the border at the front came back, and Taisho Kook suffered a big defeat.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as he went to court, someone went directly to the topic. If you can say something like this, you don't need to say it to know whose idea it was. Looking at the old god at ease, Prime Minister Shen Yuan with a calm expression, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but secretly scold the old fox.

If it comes to others, Zhao Yuan, who doesn't know anything about the government, may not be very clear. But this Wang Ming'an, it just so happened that Zhao Yuan knew. This Wang Ming'an is the son-in-law of the general Zhang Yuan. Although the ability is not good, the kung fu of slapping the sycophants is first-class.

Wang Ming'an has 60,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he is currently guarding the front customs to guard against the Datong Kingdom in the south. Datong Province has jurisdiction over three counties and 37 towns, and the area is only half of Dazheng Kingdom, but the land is much better than Dazheng Kingdom, which is relatively rich. However, the military strength is not strong, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has always been mainly defensive.

Even so, Wang Ming'an often suffers defeats, and his ability to lead troops can also be seen. A few days ago, there was a rebellion in Chase Country, and there was internal instability. After Wang Ming'an got the news, he immediately felt that the opportunity had come.

If this is to bring down Datongguo, the credit will not be great. Even if it can't be defeated, even if it takes a few towns, it can be regarded as expanding the territory for the country. Not to mention that he can turn himself over, and it is enough to make himself famous, so that his father-in-law can be promoted to his official again.

Therefore, Wang Ming'an immediately sent troops and led the army to invade Datongguo. But who would have thought that Wang Ming'an's ability to lead the troops was really miserable. You can still make a living by defending the city, but going out of the city to fight in the field is a mess. The 60,000 elite army was defeated by the 20,000 horses that the other party had put together temporarily.

However, whoever let Wang Mingan have a good father-in-law, even if the battle is not good, he will still be promoted and make a fortune. For him, I think there are already many people who are dissatisfied. And since Zhao Yuan ascended the throne for five years, the tripartite forces have fought for me, and they have long torn their faces. At this time, with such a good opportunity, it is not directly a bayonet to see red.

Wang Ming'an's ability to fight is not good, but he is a diehard loyalist of the general Zhang Yuan, and it is not easy to bribe high-ranking officials and Houlu. Such a big defeat also gave the other two parties an excuse. took the opportunity to take Wang Ming'an, not only to take away the 60,000 troops in his hands, but also to cut off one of Zhang Yuan's arms.

At this moment, Shen Yuan took him under the knife, which was reasonable and reasonable, and no one could find fault with him. Moreover, the general Zhang Yuan has always been partial to this son-in-law, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates. At this moment, even the people under the general's command will steal the fun.

"Your Majesty's victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if everyone suffers a defeat and must be severely punished, then who dares to serve the country. General Wang suffered a defeat, but he also stabilized the morale of the army in time, and did not let the enemy army advance for half a point. ”

"This is wrong, General Wang's 60,000 elite soldiers were defeated by a group of rabble, so it can be regarded as a common thing in soldiers? If it is not severely punished, I am afraid that the world will not accept it! ”

The debate had just begun, and the bosses naturally couldn't speak, so the younger brothers at the bottom acted as the vanguard, rushing up one by one, fighting with each other with a red face and a thick neck. Even the generals scolded and scolded, and even the swear words had already been shouted.

The other side was not to be outdone, citing scriptures and classics to criticize Wang Ming'an. From the defeat of the war, it has directly risen to the problem of character and the country. It seems that if Wang Ming'an is not severely punished, the country will be destroyed. Those guys are really swearing without swearing, and the outspoken generals are full of resentment but helpless.

What's more, some people have already begun to ****** their arms, and there is a posture of fighting with them if they don't agree with each other. There was a miasma of black smoke above the entire court, and Zhao Yuanzhi, who was watching, frowned. Look at the first two again, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, looking at these things that have nothing to do with me, there is no trace of persuasion.

Zhao Yuan sighed helplessly, just like that. No matter how big a country is, they have to let them lose it. The foundation of Taisho Kingdom over the years is probably almost consumed in this battle. You must know that Taisho is not a big country, and the surrounding countries are all eyeing each other. Once it weakens, I'm afraid everyone will pounce on it and eat it.

"Enough!" Zhao Yuan, who was sitting at the top of the seat, couldn't hold back any longer, and directly roared angrily, which also made the people on both sides stop.

"Look at what you all look like, this is the court, not the vegetable market!" After taking a deep breath, Zhao Yuan immediately looked at the two people in front of him and asked slowly, "How do you think the prime minister and the general should deal with this matter?" ”

"The minister thought that although General Wang suffered defeat, his heart to serve the country was particularly commendable. What's more, at this moment, the army of Datong is pressing step by step, and changing generals at this moment may make the army's morale unstable and cause greater defeat. From the general's point of view, it is better to let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service! ”

"Hmm!" Nodding slightly, Zhao Yuan turned to ask, "What does the prime minister think?" ”

"The minister thought that although the general's words were reasonable, his dereliction of duty should not go unpunished. What's more, the minister was a little skeptical about General Wang's ability to command troops. The army led by General Wang has been defeated repeatedly, and if he commands the troops again, the ministers are afraid that not only the army in front will be defeated, but even the front clearance may not be guaranteed! ”

"You put, you nonsense! How could Ming'an's ability to command troops be casually commented on by a civilian official like you who is not familiar with military affairs? ”

"Hu Bu nonsense, everyone knows it, the general won't be trying to show favoritism, right!" A non-salty response, Shen Yuan immediately shouted at Zhao Yuan: "The minister proposes to remove Wang Ming'an from the post of General Zhenyuan, and send another veteran general to the border pass to lead the army!" ”

"Hmph, changing generals in battle is a taboo in the army, and who will be responsible for the defeat when the time comes. What's more, Ming'an cleared customs for several years before the unification of the army, and his prestige in the army was very high. If the general is changed rashly, tens of thousands of soldiers may not be convinced. If there is any bad situation caused at that time, I don't know if the prime minister can afford it? ”

"You"

Hearing this, not only Shen Yuan snorted coldly, but even Zhao Yuan frowned slightly. This Zhang Yuan didn't care about the overall situation at all, and he didn't care about it when he knew that he was wrong, so he directly changed the threat. If it doesn't go his way, I'm afraid he will really let the soldiers below get up and make a fuss, this is a war, and this trouble will be a lot of fun!

It is no wonder that the two sides have been fighting for so many years, and the treacherous and cunning Prime Minister Shen Yuan has never been able to completely suppress him. Xiucai met a soldier, it is really unreasonable. If you can't say it, people won't be reasonable at all.

Military power is his lifeblood, if he really makes people move, I'm afraid Zhang Yuan will really jump to his feet. Besides, as long as he gives in, he doesn't think that the enemy will really take care of the overall situation and not threaten again, and he doesn't know how the whole family will die at that time. At this point, all of them had no choice.

"Okay, that's it, let General Wang command the enemy first, and then think about it in the long run after the enemy army is repulsed!"

In the end, it was Zhao Yuan who made the decision. Although he was very unwilling, Shen Yuan seemed to have acquiesced and no longer expressed his opinion. However, Zhao Yuan could see that Shen Yuan must be secretly calculating at this moment, and it would not be long before it broke out.

To be honest, Zhao Yuan was also moved at this moment. Who wants the command of the 60,000 border army, but he has no manpower to take over now. Rushing into it will not only arouse the vigilance of all parties, but will only be picked up by others in the end. It is better for this matter to drag on for a while than to be directly divided by others.

An early downstream, except for the fierce war of words at the beginning, the rest is all unnutritious nonsense. It felt as if the previous battle had exhausted everyone's energy and made them all dormant.

Walking on the avenue of the palace, Zhao Yuan was worried. Early in the morning, I wanted to find out the bottom of the previous court, but I didn't expect that things were far beyond my imagination, and it also made Zhao Yuan refresh his understanding of them again. The tripartite struggle for power and profit above the court may have reached the point of unscrupulous means. If they are allowed to make trouble, I am afraid that the country will not be far away!

The biggest problem now is that there are no loyal people, and Zhao Yuan didn't care about the affairs of the court at all in the past, and completely let them toss. This also led to the fact that now in the entire court, Zhao Yuan has no idea who can use it, and he is still loyal to him as an emperor. Which people are other people's diehards, there is no way to win them over at all.

Now he has a few working eunuchs in his hands, but there are no available people in the court, let alone generals from all walks of life. It seems that there is still a long way to go to regain power!
