This sleepless night finally passed, and on the second day of the court meeting, the cabinet and several important ministers discussed the matter of sending troops again, and then decided to send a general to lead a group of soldiers and horses to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion.

It's just that the number of people in this team is disputed, and Wei Ge thinks that this rebellion is extremely bad in nature, and it must be dealt a heavy blow, and a large army should be sent to suppress the territory, so as to deter the ambitious people in the world.

It's just that Luo Fuzi doesn't think so, he thinks that if a small rebellion against the court will be fanfare, it will be looked down upon, why kill chickens, why do you need a knife, he thinks that as long as 5,000 elite soldiers are enough.

"Five thousand?" Everyone was shocked, and Wei Ge said with some hesitation: "Master, the number of rebels is estimated to be between 2 and 30,000, and only 5,000 troops will be led, right?"

"That's enough."

The old master replied indifferently, and then said in a surprising voice: "The thief army is just a rabble, and only one good general can completely wipe it out, you don't have to worry, the old man will go with him in this battle." ”

"Old master, you" Wei Ge boss was surprised, although the old master was in good health, but in the end, he was already in his prime, and this expedition with the army was too strong.

The old master had already made up his mind, and at the same time said: "The old man can put on a head guarantee, the rebels can't get out of the south of the Yangtze River, and the world can't be chaotic, so the princes only need to focus on the north." ”

The old master was not only respected for his character and knowledge, but also as heavy as a thousand mountains, so that people could firmly believe in it.

Since the old master has personally gone out, then naturally no one questions anything, now the focus is on the north, there are actually many ways to deal with the Xuantian Sect, and the most convenient one is to increase the number of troops General Helence.

The White Armor Army is stationed in the Northland, with a total of 30,000 troops, and only a holy decree from the imperial court is needed, so that Helian Ce can mobilize other soldiers and horses in the Northland, and the ambition of crushing the Xuantian Sect with one army is not a problem at all.

However, Meng Yuan seems to have other opinions on this: "The old man thinks that it is better to let General Helian hold on first, and the imperial court will send troops to suppress the rebellion." ”

Wei Ge frowned, and then bowed his head: "This is also possible, Liaoyang City is strong, there is a white armor army to defend the city, and General Helian is also a person who is familiar with the art of war, and it is impossible for the thieves in the north to do anything." ”

As he spoke, Elder Wei looked at Meng Yuan again: "I wonder which general does Master Meng think is more appropriate to go to quell the rebellion?" ”

After all, the size of the imperial court is here, even if the Xuantian Sect is full of wisdom, they only need to break it with a thousand forces.

So how to quell the rebellion is not a problem, whether it is to issue a decree to give Helian Ce greater military power, or to send troops and horses north by the imperial court, at this moment Meng Yuan raised an objection, in the eyes of Wei Ge Lao, it is just to take this credit and hand it over to his own people.

Wei Ge Lao did not have any opinion on this, once the son of heaven and a courtier, after His Royal Highness the Taisun ascended the throne, it was inevitable that Meng Yuan and these people would be reused, and it was completely unnecessary to argue with the other party at this time.

It's just that I didn't expect that Meng Yuan's proposed counterinsurgency candidate was completely unexpected by everyone.

Meng Yuan said: "The old man thinks that this battle should be brought by His Royal Highness, not only to annihilate the threat of the North in one fell swoop, but also to shock the world in the name of the new emperor. ”

"No!" Wei Ge refused without thinking about it, and he said with a shocked face: "Why did Lord Meng say this, His Royal Highness is the foundation of the country, how can he easily lead the troops to quell the rebellion, is it possible that all the generals of our dynasty are dead?!" ”

Wei Ge Lao's reaction was expected, because not only him, but many other ministers also felt extremely puzzled, the old master over there also said that he used a knife to kill chickens, and their grandson here, His Majesty the future emperor, actually drove the expedition in person.

It doesn't matter whether the matter of the court is right or wrong, only whether it is reasonable or not, in general, this matter is not only unreasonable, but also very outrageous, to be honest, if it were not for the sake of foolproof, the cabinet would have directly issued an order for Helence to send troops.

The Xuantian Sect has inherited the backbone of the Celestial Army, could it be that Helian Ce's White Armor Army is a wine bag and rice bag? 30,000 to 20,000, General Helian Jiuzhen Beidi is not a waste of dim sum, is it difficult to lead the elite border army of the imperial court to win a group of rivers and lakes?

At this time, Meng Yuan suggested that Taisun should lead the army to the expedition, which must have ulterior motives, but others couldn't understand what he was doing this for.

Obviously, the grandson is about to ascend the throne, and at that time, Meng Yuan will definitely be the first from the dragon's work, not to mention anything else, the glory of the three generations of the Meng family is basic, and it is not a problem to pay homage to the marquis.

Obviously, Meng Yuan had already completed the first ninety-nine steps, and there was only one last step left to be able to pick the fruits of this victory, so why should he make extraneous branches at this juncture.

It's just that Meng Yuan seems to have made up his mind, not only did he suppress public opinion, but he suppressed other people who had opinions with his own prestige, and most importantly, his Royal Highness the Grand Sun was also out of tune.

"It's just a thief in the north, this official is naturally ready to capture, you don't have to fight anymore." Lu Hanjiang can be regarded as finalizing this matter in one sentence.

After the court meeting, all the officials left with solemn faces, and Meng Yuan was just about to go home, but he was stopped by Qiu Qingyun and dragged to his house.

Bang!

Qiu Qingyun slapped on the table, his face was full of confusion and anxiety, although the two were subordinate, they were also close friends, and it was rare to see them staring at each other like this.

"Are you crazy! At this time, let Lu. Let His Highness go out and do something! Qiu Qingyun reprimanded angrily: "Now that the throne has changed, the world is panicking, and he can stabilize the hearts of the people in the world by sitting in the capital, instead of fighting for the prestige of some bullshit!" ”

Meng Yuan was silent and didn't speak, Qiu Qingyun couldn't help but sigh when he saw this: "Don't you think it's enough, brother?" You have also seen the scene in the court today, even the elder Wei Ge has already avoided you, you are already above ten thousand people under one person, why bother to continue."

Today's matter, if the only thing that is possible to benefit is Meng Yuan, the change of the throne is unstable in the world, and at this critical time, the core figure of Taisun will leave, and the court will be completely controlled by Meng Yuan alone.

He is fighting for power, this is wanting to divide another part of the imperial power and eat it himself, this is looking for death!

The absence of the Taisun can indeed allow Meng Yuan to show his talents, but at the same time, it is impossible for Wei Ge Lao Lu Shangshu and Luo Fuzi and others to be indifferent, they were allies when Taisun ascended the throne, but this does not mean that they are Meng Yuan's subordinates.

It is because of the righteousness of His Royal Highness Taisun that these people will work together with Meng Yuan, they have always been part of the defense of the imperial power, if Meng Yuan turns against the imperial power at this time, these people will turn against each other almost instantly.

Obviously, Qiu Qingyun could see that Meng Yuan was not a fool with a desire for profit, and he could see it, so Qiu Qingyun was extremely puzzled, why did the other party do this.

"You're looking for death," Qiu Qingyun said in a deep voice: "You're forcing Your Highness to kill you!" ”

"You're right."

Meng Yuan raised his head, there seemed to be a flame in his eyes, and he said, "I want him to kill me with his own hands." ”

Qiu Qingyun froze in place, and after a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why?" You've done so much just for today, and if that's the case, why are you doing this? ”

"People's hearts are like iron, if it weren't for their sharp eyes, how could I be able to investigate right and wrong, good and evil, I couldn't lose, so I had to bet on this last time!"

Meng Yuan lowered the corners of his eyes, and there was a kind of mania in his eyes: "I'm not wrong!" He will kill me, just as His Majesty would have done to me! I read that right, so it's not me who is your majesty! It's that he loses me! I don't have a choice. I wasn't wrong! ”
