Chapter 960: I really can't sympathize
The emperor's intention was naturally to send Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian and some experienced old generals, let the experienced old generals be the commanders, and Lu Baichuan would be the deputy marshal.
But the hearts of the people in the court are not united, many people are not convinced, and as soon as the emperor said this, many people stood up against it.
There are quite a lot of reasons for opposition, saying that Lu Baichuan has no experience in leading a team to fight, and it is not appropriate to take risks.
said that the old general was old and should be recuperated in his old age, and should not be so tired.
He also said that the emperor favored Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian, which was a sign of the country's demise.
Yanguan is like a mad dog in the court, he is not afraid of anything, he sees who bites whom, anyway, Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian are the worst bitten.
This war had long been expected, and the emperor had already decided on the manpower to be sent, so he was nervous and asked Qin Jian to get married as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time to go to the border.
As a result, these officials stood up to stop it, and said such a big rebellious thing.
"Your Majesty, the old minister does not deny General Lu's ability and merits, but General Lu is young and has little qualifications, so he can't joke with the lives of tens of millions of soldiers!"
"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, we don't have only two generals in Beiyan, the emperor always has to give other generals the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"
"Your Majesty, above the court, you must not favor one over the other, and chill the hearts of other generals!"
……
These officials are clever and eloquent, and they are very good at sowing discord, and the generals who originally did not have this idea were also instigated, feeling that the emperor was indeed too partial, and they were all generals, so why should the opportunity to make meritorious contributions only be given to the Lu family?
Now that the Lu family has made so many contributions, can't they give up the opportunity to others?
Everyone felt that this negotiation had greatly defeated the Eastern Court, even if there was a war, the Eastern Court would not be Beiyan's opponent, who wouldn't want such a big military feat?
At first, only civil officials were arguing, but later those military generals who were provoked also began to be dissatisfied, and the court was arguing like a vegetable market.
The emperor is very troubled, these civil officials are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, what is the intention of provoking a civil war at this time?
If there is a more suitable candidate, will he always send Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian?
It is clear that other people are not capable enough, even if they can win, they will only consume more food and grass and the lives of the soldiers, as the emperor, he just wants to minimize the sacrifice and let the soldiers suffer less.
"Humph!"
When the commotion was in full swing, there was a cold snort from the crowd.
Lu Baichuan didn't need to turn his head to look at it, he knew that it was Mr. Kang who couldn't hold back.
Sure enough, Mr. Kang walked out of the crowd, looked at the officials who were making nonsense in the middle, and said in a very contemptuous tone: "Your lords have been working for the imperial court for so many years, don't you even have a little self-knowledge?" ”
"Dongting was originally the head of the Four Kingdoms, even if it has been damaged by our Beiyan blow in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, who can guarantee that it will win? Or, who dares to say that his ability is better than General Lu? ”
"General Lu was born from the grassroots, and he can become a second-grade minister at a young age, relying on his own skills, last year's palace change, General Lu and his wife easily resolved, who of you present has such ability?"
"Not to mention Lord Qin, who has just returned from the border not long ago, has broken through tens of thousands of enemies with dozens of people, and has come back with all of them, who can have this ability?"
"It's really funny for your adults to talk, please General Yuan to lead the team, you say that you are too old to suffer anymore, please accompany General Lu and Lord Qin, you say that people are too young, how can you say it!"
As soon as Mr. Kang came out, he asked if there was any.
Lu Baichuan felt that he was really condescending to study in the Hanlin Academy, and he should be allowed to go to the Yushitai, in the entire court, he was the most neat talker, and no one else could say anything about him.
The court quarreled into a pot of porridge, and the emperor didn't want to deal with it, so he directly announced his withdrawal from the court.
Of course, he still called his henchmen and courtiers to the small council hall to discuss the matter carefully.
Before the emperor became the crown prince, his life was hard, and he was supported by these henchmen at the bottom and slowly came up, so even if he was angry in the court, he was smiling when he arrived in the small council hall.
At this time, it was already time for dinner, he understood that everyone was hungry, and directly asked people to serve the food, and the monarchs and ministers sat at a table in groups, eating and talking.
"General Yuan, what do you think?"
The emperor personally served the dishes to General Yuan, and General Yuan thanked him very respectfully, and then said: "This matter is obviously aimed at the two junior generals Lu Qin, the two of them are in the limelight, and it is reasonable to be embarrassed. ”
"According to the old minister's opinion, they just don't hit the south wall and don't look back, let them try it themselves to know the hardships."
General Yuan has been working the battlefield for most of his life, and he takes these things very lightly, even if he is told by others, he is not angry at all.
Someone is in a hurry to die, why should he stop it?
He could think so, but the emperor, as the king of a country, couldn't, and he sighed: "But I can't gamble with the lives of my soldiers." ”
Lu Baichuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is better to let them try, and the minister can also accompany his wife and children more." ”
Qin Jian nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the minister is about to get married......"
It's not that they don't have compassion, it's that they can't sympathize.
Originally, they planned to directly beat the Dongting to the east, so that they could go home and their wives and children were hot on the kang, but the court and the Chinese were not united, and they always felt that the emperor was partial, and they still said what signs of the country's demise, so what else did they fight for, and they must not be scolded by the civil officials so that they can't raise their heads?
Before attacking the outstation, it is best to clean up those selfish people in the DPRK and China, otherwise if there is a traitor, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The emperor was so worried that he had a headache, but one of them was more uneasy than the other, and he suddenly lost his appetite at all.
"What do the other Aiqing think?"
The emperor did not want to look at them, but to look at others.
The others said their thoughts in turn, such as letting Lu Baichuan and others bring those generals who came out together, and there were many people with great strength.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor: "No, there are too many generals, and you will be defeated before you fight." ”
are all generals who can be generals, if they are allowed to work under Lu Baichuan, can they be convinced?
Moreover, there is more than one border that needs to be guarded, and other places cannot be ignored, all of them are sent to defend against the Eastern Court, so what about other places?
Isn't that a joke?
The emperor had a cold face, put down his chopsticks, looked at the person who made him feel bad at this table with an expressionless face, and asked, "Are you full?" ”
Qin Jian honestly said: "Not yet, the minister just picked up the ......"
"Since you're all full, let's go back."
