Chapter 283: Harboring Evil Intentions
King Liang said this, and the situation in the court suddenly became tense and depressed, like a mountain flood about to erupt.
It seems that those despicable villains who want to take advantage of the 'Northern Turkic invasion of the territory and the danger of the society' to reap the benefits and climb the heart. was surprised by King Liang's decision to override the crowd for a while, and they were unexpected. They and King Liang, who couldn't think of an old traitorous minister, at this critical moment when the society was in danger, it was not them who were old ministers and heavy generals, but two yellow-haired hairy boys.
Inevitably, he stared at King Liang above the court, and King Liang seemed to see the thoughts of their courtiers, so he immediately raised his head and smiled, as if his ambition was rewarded.
"Don't worry, what this king decides must rely on the support of all civil and military personnel. Although it is said that the two princes are allowed to lead the troops to command the northern expedition, the matter of life and death on the battlefield still has to be fought hard by the generals. This does not prevent you from receiving rewards for your meritorious service in civil and military affairs, but only to make it clearer to future subjects what kind of hero their future lord is. ”
When everyone heard King Liang say this, there were already people in the court who gasped with relief. The depressing aura just now seemed to have eased a lot, and it even became active.
At this time, the lord of the country, Li Zhongxing, suddenly asked from the top of the high hall, "King Liang, if I send two princes to lead the northern expedition as you said, then the two generals can be used as deputy commanders to accompany the expedition?" ”
King Liang turned around, smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically. "In the opinion of the lord of the country, is there a suitable person?"
"I have also thought about this for a long time, and only the old generals Zhao Shuai and King Liang are the most suitable in the country. I don't know what about King Liang giving up? Can it be discussed with the same dynasty? The lord of the country, Li Zhongxing, seemed to say with concern, and glanced at Li Shuai, the old minister among the generals.
Without waiting for Liang to officially reply to the question of the lord of the country, Li Shuai, the old minister, had already stepped up and saluted and said. "Lord Rin, the old minister is favored by the emperor and blessed by his descendants. At a time when this country is in danger, we should repay ourselves with death, and how dare we leave our bodies and ears behind. At present, how should the old minister help the two princes, and ask the lord of the country and King Liang to make it clear. ”
Li Zhongxingdu, the lord of the country, stepped forward and looked at Zhao Shuai, who was in a respectful manner, and said. "Zhao Aiqing, I should understand your feelings as a person who is anxious about the society, but this matter still needs to be further discussed between me and King Liang. You can go back to reorganize your troops and horses after you retreat from the court, and wait for my dispatch. After that, he glanced at King Liang sideways again, and then asked. King Liang, what do you think? ”
King Liang was quietly stunned, but he didn't expect the lord Li Zhongxing to have this in his heart, and immediately replied. "The lord of the country is the son of heaven, and his subordinates naturally have to listen to the dispatch of the lord. Moreover, this is a major event related to the long-term stability of the ancestral society, how dare the ministers and younger brothers shirk it. Only die without giving up! ”
"Well, I didn't misunderstand you. King Liang, at the critical moment, you are most anxious about the national affairs. The lord of the country, Li Zhongxing, suddenly shook his hand above the high hall and said, looking like a big thing has been done, but there is a spring breeze proud. However, the courtiers under the court lost no time in kneeling down and said, "Congratulations to the lord, the big thing can be decided!" The Northern Turks invaded the territory, and they brought about their own destruction. ”
Hearing the congratulatory words of all the courtiers, Li Zhongxing, who was above the high hall, suddenly made a decision again. "The courtiers listened to the order, and their minds were decided, so they chose troops to go north according to the advice of King Liang."
As soon as the words of the lord Li Zhongxing fell, the courtiers under the hall knelt down and bowed down, and the sound of the mountain shouting 'long live' was endless, and it rang out for a while, spreading to the United States.
In the midst of this lively court, I suddenly heard Lei Wenxiang, the director of the Criminal Department, step out of the court to salute and say.
"When a great country uses troops, it pays attention to the way of wartime law. As the head of the criminal department of the imperial court, his subordinates should be clear to the lord of the country and the subjects of the world about the urgency of the law in wartime, so as not to make the reputation of the people of the world and the bad people to take risks, do all the unrighteous things in the world, destroy our dynasty, and use troops in the north of the country. Therefore, please ask the lord of the country to issue a decree to make the world louder, whether it is the commander of the three armies or the subjects in the country, they must abide by the law and secure the people, and they must not have the heart of slander. ”
With Lei Wenxiang, the head of the Criminal Department, Li Zhongxing, the head of the country, was also stunned and said urgently. "Lei Aiqing's discussion is very appropriate, I should be the right order, declare the world, in case there is no problem." After that, he looked back at the chief eunuch who was waiting to be set up next to him, and said with a pen.
"I'm like this now. Because the imperial court used troops to go north, the people belonging to all states, governments, officials and ministries in the world were not allowed to make trouble from it, and they were not allowed to do anything from it. If there is anyone who obstructs the major affairs in the north, whether it is reported by civilians or betrayed by spies, once it is verified, they will be killed in a hurry. There are even those who conspire to take advantage of the situation to raise troops to make trouble, those who are willing to be the pawns of the Northern Turks who are willing to take risks, those who are greedy for life and fear of death during the march, and those who plunder and harass the common people, and they are killed! The people involved in the government were all punished with continuous frustration, and their children and families were assigned to extremely cold and bitter places or poor ridges and border passes to serve as soldiers, and they were never allowed to return to the Central Plains. ”
When the courtiers heard that the lord of the country, Li Zhongxing, was insulted, and even called for such a wartime law, they were all shocked, and knelt down again, and even the sound of 'long live' was heard endlessly.
When everything in the court was finished, the courtiers scattered and left. Li Zhongxing, the lord of the country, left King Liang and the veteran Zhao Shuai alone, and the three of them sat down again, had a long talk, and discussed secretly, and King Liang and Zhao Shuai happily withdrew from the palace.
Li Zhongxing, who was busy and tired for a whole afternoon, happily picked up a cup of Longjing handed over by the prince, took a sip slowly, put the tea cup, and then said to himself happily. "Hey, this annoying thing, I finally have a little eyebrows. Princess, I'm tired too, come with me to the Heart Nourishing Hall to rest. I also pinched my body bones, and I haven't been served by the prince for a long time. ”
The prince responded to Li Zhongxing's words, and suddenly heard a sound of hurried footsteps from outside the hall, and then the haggard voice of the king of Heyang immediately sounded at the entrance. "Father, the son-in-law just heard the news that the father is going to send the son-in-law to lead the army to the north? Father, but is there really something wrong? ”
The lord of the country, Li Zhongxing, frowned, and the mood that he just wanted to relax immediately tensed again. He raised his head suspiciously and glanced at the King of Heyang, who was eagerly walking in, touched his chin, smashed his mouth and replied slowly.
"Emperor, this matter should have been summoned in advance to declare in advance, but when the incident happened suddenly, my father did not summon you and King Zhao. But now that you have found your father, he will tell you the truth. This is true, and not only did you lead the troops north, but King You also went with you. Each of you will lead a group of soldiers and horses, and attack the enemy of the Northern Turks in two ways. “”
When Li Zhongxing said this, he thought that the king of Heyang would be in a hurry to speak out against his own arrangement. Who knew that the result was not the scene he imagined in his heart, and when King Heyang heard this, not only did he not show strong opposition, but was full of excitement and expectation. It seems that the temperament of King Heyang is still quite masculine and brave.
This had to make Li Zhongxing's heart tremble, and his eyes lit up, as if he had also realized it at this time, and he had to let him treat the person in front of him differently.
The prince on the side couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Lord of the country, you have such a brave prince, it is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for the society." The Celestial Empire will definitely flourish here, and the old slave can be regarded as seeing the future. ”
After receiving such praise from the prince in front of his father, the king of Heyang immediately retorted with a smile. "My father-in-law has won the award, this is a matter for the courtiers, where can my father-in-law say such a reputation? Besides, there are so many people in the court who are more capable than me doing things, and this king is just enjoying the blessings of his ancestors. ”
"Since you have enjoyed the blessings of your ancestors, you should think about the heart of virtue, how dare you waste your tools and work hard, and tire your father and king."
I don't care if the lord of the country, Li Zhongxing, agrees with or denies the words of King Heyang, and the fifth prince has already spoken first. "Lord of the country, you see that the king of Heyang is really different from the people, he has such a mind and insight at a young age. It's really rare, it's rare. ”
Li Zhongxing smiled suddenly, sipping on the teacup. "Princess, your sharp mouth is about to shake my ears. The king of Heyang is certainly courageous and detached, brave and motivated. But I don't need you to blow the wind in front of me like this. After that, he raised his eyes and stared at King Heyang again, and said in a serious and deep tone. Emperor, I have my own clear judgment on social matters, and I don't need to be deliberately reminded by others. It's just that if the emperor is in charge of the army, he must be careful and cautious in everything. If you make the wrong move, you lose everything. Win one, Master of All Worlds. ”
"Do you remember what your father said? Father is tired, go down first! He returned to his home to prepare his troops and horses, and waited for his father's recruitment at any time. ”
Hearing the words of the lord of the country, the king of Heyang immediately bowed and thanked him. After the prince waited for the king of Heyang to go, he also came to help the lord of the country to walk towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
It is said that after King Liang won the approval of the lord Li Zhongxing in front of his courtiers, he suddenly sketched an inexplicable plan in his heart, and Liu Qing'er's plump figure gradually emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited, and suddenly heard Liu Qing'er's foxy voice in his ears again. "Lord, lord, come quickly. Little girl, waiting for you? ”
Suddenly, his heart felt like something had been stabbed violently, and he moved forward with the violent shaking of the carriage. I felt uncomfortable in my heart, as if I was about to open my mouth and pour out. However, he still scolded and yelled in the car. "What the hell is this place, are all the drivers blind? I didn't know how to avoid such a pothole, so I rushed straight over. Do you have the intention of fooling this king, a dead coachman? ”
In an instant, I could only hear the driver in front of me trembling back. "King Liang, it's not that the minions accidentally can't avoid the potholes on the road. It's just that this place is not as good as its place, and there are dismounted stones everywhere, and the minions can't avoid it. If King Liang doesn't believe it, you can lift the curtain yourself and take a look. ”
There's no way, people are forced to be in a hurry, and they will always talk about some radical topics. This time the coachman's words can stimulate King Liang's bad temper. He opened his teeth and opened his eyes, suddenly lifted the curtain of the car window, and peeked out, and was immediately stunned.
I saw that on the palace road on both sides of the front of me, there was a huge granite standing one after another, on which were written five dragons flying and phoenixes dancing in golden characters: "Royal Zhaolie Temple".
King Liang's heart seemed to have been suddenly stabbed by something, and it shook violently in an instant, slowly soaking his whole body.
The plan he had just sketched out in his heart shook off inexplicably, like transparent glass, shattering when it touched the ground.
