As soon as the ministers heard the voice, they all turned their heads to the side of the princes, and it was Situ Biao, the sixth prince, who spoke in the column, and everyone was not surprised by his speech this time, after all, with the last surprise soldier, all the ministers knew that there was another powerful challenger in the selection of those competing for the throne.

"But Sixth Highness, although those Tang people belong to the same clan as us, they are already foreign citizens after all, and if there is any problem, it can only be solved through diplomatic channels, and cannot be dealt with by military means. What's more, whether these Tang people were threatened by ethnic cleansing, whether they asked the empire for protection, these are just Li Wufeng's words, and we can't confirm it at all, but Li Wufeng's unauthorized dispatch of troops without the permission of His Majesty the Emperor is an undeniable fact, which has already made a very bad start, and if it is not dealt with seriously, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. There was silence in the hall for a while, and none of the ministers opened their mouths, but the Minister of the Interior, Lu Wenfu, stood up and retorted, much to the surprise of everyone else.

"Yes, what Lord Lu said is very true, just a vague reason has become an excuse to send troops to foreign countries, and to erect a strong enemy for the empire out of thin air, this Li Wufeng's behavior is really too bold and reckless. Although we here do not know the local situation, we can also analyze that there will be two results: first, the Pasha Kingdom and the Duchy of Comini have premeditated and taken Luzon by surprise, which may lead to the destruction of Luzon, and Li Wufeng's intervention at this time will undoubtedly lead to the tiger's mouth, which will inevitably lead to bad relations between the empire and these two countries, and seriously affect our diplomatic situation in the northwest; the other possibility is that Luzon has long been prepared, and its national strength is not weak, and it has withstood the attack of the two countries, and the war situation is in a stalemate, maybe Li Wufeng can take some advantage at this time, but once the Luzon people and the two countries make peace and end the state of war, thenThe Luzon people will inevitably turn their guns on Li Wufeng, who is stuck in the back, and then we will also face hostility and military pressure from the Luzon people. "The one who agrees with Lu Wenfu's opinion is still Vice Minister of Military Affairs Pique, who has just spoken.

Peake's remarks were reasonable, and many ministers in the palace who did not know much about military issues nodded their heads in agreement.

I heard that his relationship with the surrounding Luope people and the countries of the Western Regions is very unharmonious, but the relationship with Sun Yuanliang, a traitor, seems to be a little ambiguous, I don't know what the hell he is doing. "The next one to denounce was the Minister of Justice Sidon, who had long been dissatisfied with Li Wufeng's rise to prominence, coupled with Li Wufeng's fierce fight with the people at the bottom of the empire, which made him and Ning Yuanwang the traditional aristocratic faction deeply hated, "He also arbitrarily gave citizenship to the Gaoyue barbarians who lived in the Hengduan Mountains, saying that these barbarians enjoy the same rights as citizens of other nationalities in his territory, this is simply lawless." ”

Seeing that Situ Mingyue's face was gloomy, Minister of War He Zhiqiu interrupted Sidon's words: "Lord Sidon, today is to discuss Li Wufeng's dispatch of troops to Luzon, other things can be left for later, let's get down to business." ”

After saluting Situ Mingyue, He Zhiqiu continued: "The minister also thinks that Li Wufeng's matter is a bit out of line. The use of force against foreign countries is the core power of the central state and must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor, and no one else has this power at any time. Of course, as the Tang people in the same vein as us, if their interests are threatened or infringed, we should pay attention to them morally, but we can only solve it through diplomatic means or other means, and absolutely cannot resort to force, not to mention that the current surrounding situation of the empire is not optimistic, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word sinister, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as sinister, and it is absurd to make enemies for no reason, and the minister implores His Majesty to resolutely and severely punish Li Wufeng's move。 ”

After speaking, He Zhiqiu quietly retreated, and the hall was suddenly as silent as death, and the only thing that could be heard was the breathing of the ministers.

After a long time, Situ Mingyue, who had been silent, asked slowly: "Do you still have different opinions?"

"Father, the sons will never agree with what Fang Cai said!" Situ Lang, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up again, originally he wanted to observe the situation, if the situation was not right, he would no longer argue for Li Wufeng, but he found that his sixth brother Situ Biao spared no effort to defend Li Wufeng, which made him change his mind again.

"Tell me your reasoning. Situ Mingyue is still unhurried.

"All the ministers said that Li Wufeng used the army without authorization and used force against foreign countries, not only despised the power of your father, but also made enemies out of thin air, and I have a negative opinion on the two charges they mentioned. The so-called contempt for the power of the father and the emperor and the unauthorized use of the army also depend on the situation. If an enemy invades our country and retreats under our counterattack, will our army be helpless and wait for the central decision because the enemy has retreated to the side of their borders? I'm afraid that by then, it will have already been three autumns, not to mention that Li Wufeng is the military and political envoy of a county, and the so-called military politics refers to military affairs and government affairs, that is to say, he has a certain temporary disposal power within a certain range, as far as I know, Li Wufeng did not declare war on Luzon on behalf of the empire, so there is nothing to talk about exceeding his power, and at the same time he reported the situation to the empire, so I think this first charge is not valid at all. ”

The gushing rebuttals, detailed and credible arguments, and amiable tone immediately won the approval of some ministers, and Situ Lang made persistent efforts: "As for invading other countries and setting up a strong enemy for the empire, it seems that we have not received diplomatic representations from the Grand Duchy of Luzon that they have invaded their country, let alone anything to protest, and even the host has not spoken out against it, what are we still making trouble there?!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused a burst of discussion among the courtiers in the palace: yes, if even the Luzon people themselves did not oppose or protest, and a group of their own people quarreled there endlessly, would it be a bit unfounded?

"Sa Aiqing, I wonder if the diplomatic envoys of the Grand Duchy of Luzon to our country have any reaction?" Situ Mingyue also turned his gaze to Saridan.

Sariden hurriedly came out: "Back to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Grand Duchy of Luzon to our country has not had any reaction, I have talked to him personally, he only said that he was invaded by the Kingdom of Pasha and the Principality of Comini, and hoped that we could call for a truce in the international community and settle the dispute through diplomatic means, without mentioning Li Wufeng's march into Northern Luzon, I don't know if he didn't understand the situation or if they instructed him to deliberately not mention it." ”

"It's been going on for so long, to say that he doesn't know it's impossible, in the opinion of the minister, it should be that they didn't ask him to ask him to intervene in this matter, and maybe he can't tell what joints are there. "Then I added Vice Foreign Minister Jing Norizhong.

"In this case, we are thousands of miles away, and we don't know much about the situation there, anyway, the end of the year is approaching, the minister suggests that Li Wufeng can be recalled and let him return to Yanjing to report on his work, and by the way, let him explain the reason and situation of his dispatch to Northern Luzon, and then deal with it. Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, even His Majesty the Emperor was a little difficult, and Tian Yi, the Minister of Finance, who was even able to figure out his intentions, came out to make a round.

The ministers of the palace also felt that this matter was difficult to decide for a while, so they all turned their eyes to Situ Mingyue, who was on the throne, and after a little thought, Situ Mingyue nodded, "Tian Aiqing's opinion is very agreeable, and the General Administration of Administration issued a document to recall Li Wufeng to return to Yanjing to report on his work, and after he returns to Yanjing, he will understand the situation and deal with it according to the actual situation." ”

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had made a decision, Ning Yuanwang and Sidon, He Zhiqiu and Lu Wenfu in the left column, these two pairs of people exchanged colors with each other, the former was full of regret and unwillingness, while the latter was full of worry in regret.

The capital of the Pasha Kingdom, the city of Mengdan, is located in the splendid Jixiang Palace.

"The Tanghe people have already occupied Vito City?!" Paul I, who was carrying his hands on his back, frowned, and slowly paced in the room covered with the precious Yeral jacquard embroidered carpet, and there were two people in the room, both standing next to him without squeaking, "This Li Wufeng's nose is very sensitive, and his actions are fast enough, and he actually took Vito City in a week." ”

"Your Majesty, in order to defend against us, the Luzon people have mobilized all their elite troops to the south along the Salween River, North Luzon is relatively deserted, and the population composition is more complicated, in contrast, the central and southern parts are the center of gravity of the Luzon people's defense, maybe they think that even if they lose the north, it will not matter the overall situation, and once the Salween River defense line is lost, then the destruction of Luzon is just around the corner, who is more important and who is lighter, which Brundtland is still very clear. Kutuzov, with a solemn face, said solemnly.

"Then, according to the general's opinion, should we temporarily slow down the intensity of the attack on the north, so that the Luzon people can have spare strength to deal with the Tanghemen?" asked another middle-aged man standing next to him, he was the Minister of State of the Pasha Kingdom, Haig, and like Kutuzov, he was also the left arm and right arm of King Paul I.

"No, now that the Luzon people have been frightened by our army, and the Corminians are attacking in the west, and Li Wufeng's strength is limited, it is impossible for him to drive south, so no matter what we do, they will not draw troops north. Shaking his head, Kutuzov smiled wryly and said, "And I reckon that it is possible for the Luzon to make peace with the Don in order to concentrate their forces against us and the Komini." ”

Speaking of this, Kutuzov's face suddenly changed, "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" the other two asked in unison.

"I overlooked the fact that Li Wufeng would not have only invaded Northeast Luzon, and I suspect that he would have sent troops into Northeast Luzon, so that the Komini would be in danger. Kutuzov's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"With the Green Sea Marsh as a barrier, even if the Tang people enter the northwest, it will not pose much of a threat to the Kominis. "Haig is not very good at military affairs, and he is a little puzzled.

"Lord Haig, don't you know, now that the Corminian army has penetrated hundreds of kilometers west of Luzon, and its supply lines are relatively long, once the Tang River people sneak up on their supply lines, and if the Corminians are not prepared for this, I am afraid that there will be serious consequences. The more Kutuzov thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Then Li Wufeng is going to attack the Corminians for the sake of the Luzons? At least for now, the Luzons are still their enemies. It will probably take a while for them to form an alliance. Haig thought of that too, but he didn't think the two sides would collude so quickly.

"No, this Li Wufeng's actions cannot be theorized as usual, I have carefully studied this person, and found that this person has unexpected actions whether he is marching and fighting, or governing the place. Kutuzov shook his head and replied.

"Immediately send someone to inform the Komini as quickly as possible, telling them to be careful about the supply line and beware of a sneak attack by the Tang people. The king, who had been silent, made a swift decision.

"Report! Frontline Emergency!" there was a sharp knock at the door.

The three people in the room looked at each other in disbelief, the door opened, and Kutuzov took the letter presented by the guard, and glanced at it, although his face did not change color, but the shock was not difficult to understand.

"The important supply station of the Komini on the Western Front was attacked and burned by an army of unknown origin three days ago, and the grain, grass, and siege equipment suffered heavy losses. ”

In just two sentences, it is like a hammer falling on the hearts of three people.

"Looks like we're all underestimating this guy. He sighed softly, and the king, who had always been at ease, was also a little frustrated.
