Just as Cabinet Minister Li Rong said, Shenyang is lost, and Wang Ziteng will not escape responsibility.

After all, Wang Ziteng was the supreme military governor of Liaodong, and his main responsibility was to defend against the barbarians.

Although he lost Shenyang, the main responsibility lies with Zhang Shijie, which was caused by his greed for merit, disrespect for the general's orders, and leaving the city without authorization. However, Wang Ziteng's negligence and failure to go to the front line to command is also a mistake and a crime of slackness.

Even if Wang Ziteng is Emperor Longqing's confidant, in this matter, Emperor Longqing will not be able to shield him.

Coupled with Wang Ziteng's performance, Emperor Longqing was really disappointed, and naturally he would no longer think about shielding him.

Emperor Longqing said: "Prince Teng's slackness in the war, resulting in the fall of Shenyang, is really too disappointing to me, Hu Aiqing, Li Shangshu, how do you think to send Wang Ziteng?" ”

Hu Yong said: "Your Majesty, if you lose Shenyang, Wang Ziteng will indeed be unable to escape responsibility, and he should be punished, but you can first remove his military power, let him return to Beijing, and wait for his fate." ”

Li Guanglu said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ziteng is indeed responsible, and everything depends on Your Majesty's holy judgment." ”

Emperor Longqing nodded, looked at Jia Cong and asked, "Jia Aiqing, what do you say, this prince Tengke is your relative." ”

After listening to Emperor Longqing's words, everyone looked at Jia Cong.

I want to see how this little guy responds.

On the bright side, the Wang family and the Jia family are allies, and they are relatives of the Jia family, and the two families have a close relationship.

If you don't help talk, it will seem a little affectionate, and if you open your mouth to plead, you will be suspected of covering up, Jia Cong is also a little in a dilemma.

However, His Majesty's question cannot be ignored.

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ziteng is the second uncle of the second master of Rongguo Mansion, and he is indeed related to the Jia family by marriage, but it has nothing to do with our Ning Guofu. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel funny in their hearts.

This guy is really bold, and his ability to shake the pot is really strong, so he threw the pot directly on His Majesty's head.

When Emperor Longqing heard this, his face was not only dark.

Fuck me, I'm also trapped, this bastard can't mean it, right?

Does that mean that he is also going to call the prince an uncle?

If you calculate it carefully, this is true, but I am a king, and Wang Ziteng is a minister, so I am not qualified to call him uncle.

Even if he shouted, he didn't dare to agree.

At this time, I heard Jia Cong continue: "Your Majesty, this time Shenyang is lost, Wang Ziteng does have a great responsibility, but the minister feels that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and people cannot be punished because they have been defeated for a while."

Moreover, now is not the time to liquidate, the top priority is to recapture Shenyang first and stabilize the situation in Liaodong, Wang Ziteng has been in Liaodong for many years, he is more familiar with the situation there than anyone else, and he also has some understanding of the barbarians, so he is the best candidate to stabilize Liaodong.

The minister thought that at this time, he really should not let the prince go, and should let him stay in Liaodong, stabilize the situation, and make meritorious contributions.

Your Majesty, this is not to intercede with Wang Ziteng, but purely for the sake of the overall situation, for the interests of Da Chu, at this time, no one can compare to Wang Ziteng. ”

Hu Yong looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

obviously told Wang Ziteng about the invitation, and it came out of his mouth, but for the sake of the overall situation, it was reasonable and well-founded, and it was difficult to refute it.

If he forcibly withdraws people, once he loses the battle again, then he will answer his words.

When the time comes, this responsibility will fall on yourself and others.

This little guy really can't afford to take it lightly.

When Emperor Longqing heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he was waiting for him here.

After thinking about it, there is indeed some truth in this statement.

Although Wang Ziteng is responsible, the fault is not his, but only joint and several responsibility, and this person's ability can be regarded as decent.

Since this is the case, then let him stay in Liaodong first and make meritorious contributions.

"Well, what you said also makes sense, now is not the time to pursue the fault, it is better to take the recapture of Shenyang as the first priority, and let the prince stay in Liaodong for the time being to stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

If you want to mobilize the army, you still need to discuss it with the Emperor Taishang, and then determine the candidate for the expedition when there are results here. ”

Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, he is the king of the world, a barbarian, but he is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he is not enough to worry about." ”

Li Guanglu, the secretary of the military department, grinned, this sycophant is really shameless.

The barbarians have conquered the city, and they are clowns, which is not enough to worry about.

Jia Cong dared to say this, and others really didn't dare to say it.

After all, they killed the barbarian Khan, and there were two major Baylors, who defeated the barbarians one after another.

The other generals were not convinced, and they had to hold back, because they couldn't beat the barbarians.

For so many years, when encountering barbarians, they have all been beaten and retreated, and only Jia Cong has beaten the barbarians and retreated.

At this point, it is not possible to be unconvinced.

Even if he is a secretary of the military department, he admires Jia Cong quite a lot.

When Emperor Longqing heard Jia Cong say this, he couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to point Jia Cong.

"Don't tell me that these are not there, Shuntianfu Yin handed over the excerpt, saying that a lot of people have died in the city for no reason recently, and your five city soldiers and horses are responsible for patrolling, and you are also responsible for this matter, but you can find out the reason."

Shuntianfu Yin, this guy, is really bad in his brain.

This thing, I even dare to stab Your Majesty, I really don't know how to write dead words.

Since you poked it out yourself, then don't blame your own country.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister already knows about this matter, and he also sent someone to investigate it carefully, the deceased all died in their own homes, and these people have a common characteristic, that is, most of them are Jianghu figures.

The strange thing is that these people have changed their names and surnames and become good citizens, and these people's identity documents are all from the hands of Shuntianfu.

According to the minister's investigation, these people who died seem to belong to a force, and the identity of the people behind the scenes must not be low, otherwise it would not be possible for Shuntianfu to give them a false identity certificate, but there is no way to find out if they are dead.

The minister guessed that these people were either killed by their own people, or they were plotted by hostile forces, because the ways of death of these people were varied, and some of them had no injuries at all. ”

When Emperor Longqing heard this, he frowned.

This matter is not big, it is not small, I can't imagine that there are so many involvements in it.

I don't know which bastard recruited these scum and hid them in the capital.

Could it be that you did it again with those unfilial sons of your own?

Thinking of this, he said to Jia Cong: "Since this incident happened in your jurisdiction, you are responsible for investigating it for me." ”

Jia Congming said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this matter can't be investigated by the minister, this eucalyptus has been picked up by Shuntianfu, and the people sent by the minister have been blocked back, seeing that the meaning seems to be deliberately concealing something, the minister is powerless." ”

Yang Huai looked at Jia Cong's face and changed, he really didn't see that this kid was not soft at all.

These guys in Shuntianfu really lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot.

Since he was involved with himself, he didn't quietly tie the eucalyptus, and reported the eucalyptus to His Majesty, what kind of operation is this?

Could it be that it is just to give Jia Cong eye medicine?

I haven't heard that these two people have a grudge?

It's okay now, and Jia Cong directly deducted the pot.

If it wasn't involved, if it were, then it would be a big bad luck.

When Emperor Longqing saw Jia Cong say this, he knew that there must be something greasy inside.

After thinking about it, he turned to Dai Quan and said, "You have to ask someone to check this matter and see whose handiwork it is." ”

Dai Quan arched his hand and said: "Yes, master, the old slave obeys the order." ”

Dai Quan agreed, and slowly exited the imperial study.

Emperor Longqing said: "Li Aiqing, your military department has made a strategic plan to recapture Shenyang, and the troops, grain, grass, and materials are all ready, and at the same time, several generals have been screened out and rushed to Liaodong to support." Let's do this for now, and let's all step down. ”

"The ministers are retiring, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

······

Longqing came to the Taiji Palace and met the Emperor.

The matter of mobilizing troops and horses still has to be informed to the Emperor Taishang.

So far, more than half of the military power is in the hands of his father.

Without the nod of his own father, the emperor could not mobilize most of the army with the emperor's own orders.

This is Emperor Longqing's helplessness, he doesn't care if he says anything, he has to ask the emperor first.

Fortunately, it hasn't made a fuss in the past few years, maybe it's really figured out, right?

After all, when you're old, how many years can you toss?

It's better to take good care of your body and enjoy life.

"Son, meet my father, I wish my father good health and longevity."

The Emperor Taishang smiled and said: "Get up, I, if you really live forever, I'm afraid the most unhappy person is you, the emperor." ”

Emperor Longqing's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said: "The sons don't dare, being able to rejoice under the knees of their father's emperor is a great blessing for the sons and daughters, and it is something that the sons and daughters can't ask for." ”

The Emperor Taishang smiled, noncommittal, he knew his son very well.

"You came here today, there should be something, let's talk about it."

Emperor Longqing said: "Father Emperor really saw thousands of miles, today received an eight-hundred-mile rush from Liaodong, Shenyang was captured by the barbarians, Erchen thought, take advantage of the barbarians' foothold is not stable, send troops to recapture Shenyang City."

Otherwise, if they are allowed to gain a firm foothold, Liaodong will not be at peace, I don't know what the emperor wants? ”

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, his eyes couldn't help narrowing.

Unexpectedly, Shenyang has resisted the barbarians for so many years, but he was still captured.

If they gain a firm foothold in Shenyang, the entire Liaodong will be under their attack, and it will be difficult for Liaodong to be saved.

"Shenyang has a special geographical location, it is located in the hinterland of Liaodong, it should indeed be taken back, have you thought about who to send, are you sure to recapture Shenyang?"

Emperor Longqing said: "Back to my father, I just received the news today, and I haven't had time to make a decision yet, if my father has a suitable candidate, he can also send them there, as for whether he can recapture Shenyang, his sons don't dare to assert."

Shenyang City has thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, resisting the barbarians for so many years, this time it is also the general who defends the city that has been calculated, which has given the barbarians a success, if we attack the city, it is also very difficult. ”

The Emperor nodded, this is true.

The soldiers of the barbarians are brave and good at fighting, much stronger than the army of Great Chu, this offensive and defensive change is even more advantageous, and it is too difficult to recapture Shenyang, unless you use stratagem.

It's just that this trick has to be done by others who are willing to be fooled.

It's not that if you use stratagem, you're going to be 100% successful.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, forget it, don't worry about it, let's enjoy it with peace of mind, let your son deal with these troublesome things, who made him the emperor.

"You are now the emperor, this matter is up to you, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

This is what Emperor Longqing wants, so that he can let go and don't have to shrink back anymore.

"If the son obeys the order, he will not disappoint his father."

······

After Jia Cong left the palace, he went to the construction site of the provincial villa to take a look.

The main buildings have already risen, and the progress is still relatively fast.

After taking a turn around the construction site, Jia Cong came to Jia's mother's yard.

At this time, Lin Daiyu and Sanchun sisters were in the old lady's house, talking to her.

Seeing Jia Cong coming in, Jia Mu said with a smile: "Since Yu'er came, you have been running here every day, and the yamen is not going, are you not afraid that Your Majesty will trouble you?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Although my grandson doesn't go to the Yamen, I can't delay anything, what else can Your Majesty say, if something big doesn't happen, there is basically nothing to do, and I don't need to come forward." ”

Yingchun said: "Brother Cong is really comfortable as a messenger, are those officials and men all like this?" ”

Mother Jia said: "You can pull it down, when your grandfather Rongguo was here, he was busy for three days and was not at home, and when my father was an official before, he was also very busy, how could he be so idle." ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "When I was a child, at home, my father was also very busy, sometimes I couldn't see anyone for a few days, it was difficult to see each other, and I was tired and sick. ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "After all, I am a military general, maybe I will go to the battlefield again when I will go to the battlefield again, take advantage of the time to accompany you now, once I am on the battlefield, I may not see each other for a few years, and you will not see me when you miss me." ”

Jia Mu said: "Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to go to the battlefield again?" Could it be that the tide of the battle in the north has changed again? ”

Jia Cong nodded and said: "Today I received an urgent report of eight hundred miles, Wang Ziteng lost Shenyang, Your Majesty thought, take advantage of the barbarians' unstable foothold, and then take Shenyang back, I also just came back from the palace." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but be taken aback, Shen Yang really lost it.

Thinking of what Jia Cong said last time, I was also a little glad in my heart, and I was really guessed by this kid.

Lin Daiyu said worriedly: "Brother Cong, does Your Majesty want you to go on the expedition?" ”

When several people heard this, they all looked at Jia Cong, with a trace of worry in their eyes.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, since Your Majesty didn't settle down on the spot, he won't let me go, it's enough to have Wang Ziteng to stabilize the situation in Liaodong." Unless the Chu army is defeated and retreated, and no one can resist it, then maybe they will send me out. ”

Jia Mu said: "That's good, it's best not to go to the battlefield, after all, the battlefield is fierce, no one dares to guarantee that there will never be an accident, you are now famous, there is no need to take risks."

The prince lost Shenyang, didn't the court blame him? ”

Jia Cong said: "Several cabinet ministers want to dismiss him from his post and investigate him, and let him return to Beijing for trial, I came forward to protect him, let him stay in Liaodong to make meritorious contributions, and temporarily let him escape a catastrophe, as for whether he can atone for his crimes, it depends on his creation." ”

Jia Mu said: "You are doing a good job, after all, the two families of King Jia are in-laws, and they are also allies, if you can speak, try to help." ”

Lin Daiyu heard that Jia Cong would not go to the battlefield, so she was relieved.
