Chapter 275: Impressed
After today's dynasty, the emperor asked Xiao Ti to stay.
But when Xiao Ti followed the emperor to the study, the emperor had to deal with other things, so he asked him to wait outside the door.
As a result, the wait was more than an hour.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the emperor called Xiao Ti to go in and inquire about the specific situation of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
In fact, about the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Xiao Ti had already written in detail in the excerpt, but since the emperor wanted to ask, he had to say it again.
Emperor: "In other words, you tossed for so long, and finally the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Expeditionary Army fell into the hands of a yellow-haired girl?" ”
Xiao tired: "Tang Guixi is the only daughter of Tang Pei, the general of Zhengyuan, she received Tang Pei's education since she was a child, familiar with the art of war, excellent martial arts, and has an excellent understanding of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army is also quite convinced of her, and now the Eastern Expeditionary Army has just experienced a civil strife, and is in a panic time, Tang Guixi is in charge of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which can greatly alleviate the anxiety in the hearts of the soldiers. ”
The Emperor looked at him steadily.
"You seem to admire that Tang Guixi?"
Xiao Ti: "What Weichen said is the truth, and there is no personal affection!" ”
Emperor: "Whether it's the truth or a private affair, I'll find out." You went to Liaodong County this time, and there was a lot of trouble, and now not only the courtiers have impeached you, but even the local heroes in Liaodong County are also dissatisfied with you, and you make me very embarrassed! ”
Xiao Ti lowered his eyes: "Weichen has a clear conscience." ”
The emperor sneered: "What a clear conscience!" It seems like you don't regret your decision at all? ”
Xiao Ti knew in his heart that the emperor was still concerned about the matter of King Huaimin's father and son.
Before leaving, the emperor hinted that he killed King Min's father and son, but not only did he not kill King Min's father and son, but also let King Min and his son arrive in Liaodong County safely.
This made the emperor very dissatisfied.
Today, the emperor deliberately reprimanded him in front of the courtiers, in fact, he was using the topic to play.
Xiao Ti: "Everything Wechen has done is for the emperor and the people of the world, and Wechen has never regretted it." ”
The emperor was so angry that his heart fluctuated violently.
"Good! Well said! You're really impressive! ”
Xiao Ti knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.
"Liaodong County has been forcibly divided, wantonly embezzled the people's land, maliciously raised taxes, and the people complained.
If King Min's father and son can't reach Liaodong County safely, then the entire Liaodong County will continue to be eroded by the powerful people.
When the people are forced to live, they will inevitably rebel.
At that time, it will be too late for the imperial court to send troops to suppress it! ”
The two words that the old emperor can't hear the most nowadays are rebellion.
Xiao Ti's words were like a basin of water, and the anger in his heart was extinguished at once.
He immediately calmed down.
"Don't be alarmist, those people don't even have a decent weapon, what do you use to rebel?"
Xiao Ti: "It's because they have nothing left that they rebel!" Since ancient times, the dynasties have changed, isn't it all because the people have been forced to have no way out but to break the kettle and let it go? ”
The old emperor was speechless.
Xiao Ti: "As long as King Min's father and son are still in Liaodong County for a day, those heroes will no longer dare to oppress the people unscrupulously, as long as the people can still take a breath, they will not have the idea of rebelling, the life and death of two people can be exchanged for the stability of the entire Liaodong County, Weichen feels that it is worth it." ”
The old emperor asked in a deep voice, "What if King Min is in cahoots with those powerful and powerful?" ”
Xiao Ti said without hesitation.
"Impossible!
On the way to escort King Min's father and son to Liaodong County, Weichen was assassinated.
The real culprits behind the scenes are those heroes.
King Min's father and son have already formed a grudge with them, and it is difficult to cooperate.
And then there's the Crusade Army.
Tang Guixi, like her father, is a loyal and upright person, and she will not take sides.
At that time, the Eastern Expeditionary Army, King Min, and Haoqiang will form a three-legged pattern.
They restrained each other, but made Liaodong County more stable. ”
The old emperor has been sitting on the throne for many years, and many things don't need to be said by others, he can understand them in his heart.
Liaodong County borders on Chenguo, and Chenguo has been eyeing the wild goose dynasty for many years, and Liaodong County, as the first checkpoint to resist the invasion of Chen, is of great strategic significance.
If Liaodong County is in chaos, Chen Guo will immediately turn into a hungry wolf and pounce on him and tear it off from the wild goose.
At that time, the wild goose will break out at the same time as internal and external troubles, which is likely to shake the country's foundation.
No matter how much the old emperor wanted King Min's father and son to die, he would not lose the national fortune of the Dayan Dynasty.
He's not old enough to get that messy.
The old emperor leaned back, and the expression on his face was obviously much softened.
"Get up."
Xiao Ti straightened up.
Old Emperor: "Why didn't you say these words in the court just now?" ”
Xiao Ti: "These words are just Wei Chen's speculation, even if Wei Chen says it, the courtiers will not believe it, they will only think that Wei Chen is alarmist." ”
Just now, I thought he was an alarmist old emperor, and he said that he was a little weak-hearted.
He pretended to be calm and smiled: "Being reprimanded by me in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, you can keep a word, and you are quite calm." ”
Xiao Ti lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
"Wechen failed to complete the task you assigned, you are not happy, and it is right to teach Wechen two sentences.
As long as it can make you feel comfortable, no matter what you do with Wechen, Wechen has no complaints. ”
Hearing this, the old emperor felt very comfortable.
He knew that Xiao Ti was patting on the back, but Xiao Ti had an upright temperament, and even if such a person was a sycophant, he was more convincing.
Seeing that he was so loyal, the old emperor felt a little guilty in his heart, and his tone of voice became more and more lenient.
"The Eastern Crusade Army can't always be under Tang Guixi's control, after all, she is a woman, and it is inconvenient to be with men all day long, so I will let the cabinet choose someone to take over the Eastern Crusade Army.
In addition, I will issue an order to posthumously crown General Zhengyuan as the generalissimo of Zhengyuan, and posthumously crown his wife as a first-class order.
Canonized Tang Guixi as the lord of Xiangtai County, Xiangtai as his fief, and the taxes in the fief belonged to him. ”
Xiao Ti bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is kind! ”
The old emperor: "Liaodong County guards Lu Luguang, this person colludes with the local tyrants, raises taxes without authorization, wantonly annexes land, knows the law and violates the law, uses power for personal gain, and should be beheaded according to the law!" ”
Xiao Ti: "He has already known his mistake and returned the land in full, and also assisted Weichen in capturing the fine work in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which can be regarded as a repudiation." ”
The old emperor thought for a while: "It's rare for you to intercede for others, I will sell you face this time, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not escape, and the county guard of Liaodong County will be demoted to the county commander of Cangnan County, and he will go to work immediately!" ”
Cangnan County is located in the southwest area of Dayan Dynasty.
The place was not only remote, but also full of miasma, where many ethnic minorities gathered, and the folk customs were very strong, and it was a place that all officials could not avoid.
Lu Luoguang was relegated there, which was almost equivalent to exile.
I don't know if I can come back.
