At the beginning of May, in the interior of Luoyang Crape Myrtle City, you can see green spring colors everywhere.

It's like an overturned palette, relieving the coldness and solemnity of the Ouchi palaces a little.

However, the officials who had just retired from the Zichen Hall and passed by were in a hurry, with serious faces.

No one paid attention to the warmth of spring.

The post-battle decision-making meeting in the morning was held after the conclusion of the Korean Delegation.

The location is still in the Zichen Palace.

The so-called court staff, simply put, is a civil official of the fifth rank or above in the Shendu, who goes to the court to see the meeting of Her Majesty the Empress.

Held daily or every other day.

The number of people is large, more formal, and the discussion is extensive.

The current post-battle decision-making meeting is a small circle formed by Her Majesty the Empress and the prime minister's important ministers after the court and the hundreds of officials and honor guards have withdrawn.

Certain courtiers who had authority in the matter could also participate.

It is used to discuss real militaristic events.

The advantages are that there are fewer people, flexibility, and confidentiality.

It is different from the meeting of the political hall presided over by the prime minister.

Because it is in front of the emperor, once a decision is made on many major military matters, it can be implemented immediately, eliminating more cumbersome steps and responding quickly.

After changing the system to the Zhou and Lin dynasties, the empress Wei Zhao held post-war decision-making meetings from time to time.

I prefer this centralized decision-making model.

It also gradually evolved into a court practice.

And the civil and military officials are also proud to be left behind by Her Majesty the Empress and participate in the decision-making meeting after the war.

Well, it can be understood that big things have small meetings, and small things have big meetings.

Zichen Palace.

Today, there are only eleven courtiers and ministers left by the empress.

Wei Wangwei succeeded as heir, and Liang Wangwei thought about it.

Shi Difuzi in the Feng Pavilion, Shen Xisheng, the governor of the imperial history, and Shen Xisheng.

Fengge Shilang, Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Pingzhang Wei Zhenzai, Imperial Historian Yao Gongyu......

Empress Wei Zhao sat at the top of the palace, the imperial clothes on her body were lifelike with dragons and phoenixes embroidered with gold wire, and she wore a crown on her head, and there were twelve jade beads made of white jade on the crown.

This Tianzi gown is snow-white with light gold.

Da Zhou is Jinde, Jinde is white, the Son of Heaven naturally follows this color, and platinum is dedicated to the royal family of Wei Zhou.

Wei Zhao's eyelids were lowered, leaning lazily on the back of the dragon chair, and there were four female officials in colorful clothes standing in front of him.

The other four female officials in colorful clothes were serving imperial refreshments to more than ten Yizi ministers in the main hall.

In particular, the "national elder" Difuzi in the mouth of Her Majesty the Empress was specially given to sit.

In the gap before the start of the decision-making meeting after the battle, the old woman in the dragon robe sitting on the dragon chair played with a round and green jade Maitreya Buddha in her hand.

Her eyelids drooped, staring at the sky outside the gate of Zichen Palace.

This Zichen Hall is located on the central axis of the palace, sitting north and facing south, facing the direction of Yingtianmen and Duanmen.

And outside the gates of these two palaces, there are hundreds of squares and millions of people in the entire Luoyang City.

However, at this time, a bronze pillar of great significance was rising in the square between Yingtianmen and Duanmen.

The eyes of the old woman in the dragon robe are reflecting a clear blue sky and the pedestal of the coiling dragon bronze pillar under the sky that is being climbed by "human ants".

The cold wind from Luoshui blew into the hall from the open door of the double door, blowing the hems of the court clothes of this group of people who controlled the supreme imperial power and central authority of the Great Zhou.

Two female officers in colorful clothes stepped forward and tried to push the door.

"The door is open."

Empress Wei Zhao opened it herself.

The female officials in colorful clothes in front of the palace gate bowed their heads and served.

"Now it's quiet, let's talk about the Guizhou mutiny, what do Zhu Aiqing think should be done."

Empress Wei Zhao retracted her gaze,

Compared with the court not long ago, the ministers quoted scriptures and scriptures during the court discussions, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring.

At the current Imperial Meeting, there is no longer so much nonsense about Rory.

Even the pros and cons tore off the warmth of a humble gentleman.

"Sage, the Guizhou soldiers are fierce and arrogant, bold, killing and killing, leaving the country without permission, there is no king's law. This is the same as the rebellion, and there are traitors who bewitch it! ”

Wei Wangwei's heir took the lead in the ranks, and said solemnly:

"The sage should be ordered by Xia Guan to send troops to the Jiangnan and Lingnan provinces to suppress this rebel army and set an example."

Xia Guan is also the Ministry of War, because since ancient times, the summer farmers often send troops, so it is called.

Divozi shook his head:

"The old minister heard that the soldiers did not want to rebel, but were bullied, and the fault was in Guizhou Governor Shi Lan Changhao, who was derelict in responsibility first, provoked a mutiny, and then neglected to supervise, retreated into the city, did not stop it, and let the soldiers leave the country."

Wei Jihei squinted:

"Who did Di Gong listen to? In this way, in the face of the rebels, Lan Changshi was a weak literati, avoiding the edge and sticking to the city, why not, at least keep the capital of Guizhou. ”

Di Fuzi didn't look at him, Shen Xisheng took a step forward and bowed his head and said:

"Sage, according to the governor of Jiang, Shi Ouyang Lianghan, 1,500 soldiers in Guizhou were actually forced to mutiny.

"When he was sent to the west of Lingnan and the rebellion ended, he was supposed to be a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty to defend against the enemy, but he was left behind to defend the border.

"Forget about the border, after a period, another period, another period, three years and three years, most of them have been on the border for six years, seeing that the military period is over, and he is about to return to his hometown, Lan Changhao is selfish and selfish, and he is privately linked, which leads to another delay.

"The actions of the military governor of Guizhou Hall and Jiangnan Province are too deceitful, and they lose their trust in the soldiers on the border, seeing that the return date is far away, and there is no hope of returning to their hometowns, the soldiers who are in a foreign land are instigated and stimulated by others to mutiniate and return to the north."

There was silence in the hall for a while.

"The reason for the postponement of the Guizhou soldiers is that the minister has heard some of them."

Liang Wang Wei Sixing suddenly spoke, and his tone was light:

"This kind of military aircraft, Lan Changshi has discussed with Zhu Lingxu, Wang Lengran, and the professional generals of several Zhichong Mansions in Jiangnan Province.

"The matter was also reported to the imperial court, and after discussion among the officials in charge of the DPRK and China, it was allowed to be extended.

"And the one-year extension, neither long nor short, the minister feels that there is no need. The process of this matter is normal and reasonable and compliant. ”

"Isn't it right that the process is reasonable and compliant?"

Shen Xisheng refuted awe-inspiringly:

"Moreover, it is not yet known whether there was dereliction of duty and abuse of power, and it remains to be investigated."

He turned his head and bowed to the old woman in the dragon robe at the top:

"Sage, Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan wrote a letter, saying that there was a transfer of interests, and asked the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the matter, behead the main culprit Guizhou Governor Shi Lan Changhao, and severely punish the accomplices Zhu Lingxu, the governor of Hongzhou, and Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Wang Lengran.

"There are also several high-level generals of the Zhichong Prefecture who were involved in the incident, and they must be returned to the clear and clear to appease the Beigui soldiers and prevent the situation from expanding."

The public looked sideways when they heard this.

The empress was looking down at a copy of the book in her hand, and she didn't say a word.

"This Ouyang Changshi's proposition is too extreme."

Wei Sixing sighed:

"If it is thoroughly investigated according to his standards, wouldn't it be a series of guilty people who will be imprisoned, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fit in prison, right?

"Sage, the minister thinks that the time should be a careful discussion on how to deal with the mutiny, instead of wasting energy on accountability and afterthought.

"Why didn't anyone stop the previous postponement resolution when Xia Guan passed it, but now they jumped out one by one and grabbed their braids......"

Shen Xisheng sneered: "If the lower officials are not mistaken, Ouyang Lianghan has written to resolutely oppose the extension, and I don't know if His Royal Highness King Liang is busy, and he can't hear a little criticism." ”

Wei Sixing's originally indifferent face changed,

For a moment, he kept smiling:

"This is worthy of being recognized as a righteous gentleman in the world, no matter how you say it, it seems that everyone can stop doing it in the future, treat it the same as Di Gong, add a chair to this hall, invite him to come and sit, ask him about everything, it will definitely be more useful than everyone."

Shen Xi nodded sarcastically: "Well, His Royal Highness King Liang finally said a fair word, and there is indeed someone in front of Your Majesty who should move his useless ass." ”

Wei Sixing squinted in an instant, and Wei Jihei suddenly interrupted:

"How did Xiao Wang hear that Ouyang Lianghan had a private gap with Wang Lengran and Lan Changhao, and they broke up unhappily.

"Ouyang Lianghan is afraid that it is not because of this that he opposes and embarrass Wang Lengran and Lan Changhao. I didn't expect the gentleman to hold a grudge. ”

"Isn't Ouyang Lianghan just talking about things from beginning to end?"

Shen Xisheng nodded: "The person who said this to His Royal Highness King Wei is indeed taking the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

In the main hall, Wei Zhenzai and Yao Gongyu, who were relatively neutral, watched the fire, and quietly paid attention to Her Majesty's eternal face.

As they expected, as soon as the imperial meeting began, Wei and the Baoli faction quarreled.

The two kings of the Wei family sneered, and Shen Xisheng, who was born in the imperial history, fought back sharply as always.

First of all, it is obvious that among the three people involved, Lan Changhao, Wang Lengran, and Zhu Lingxu, there must be people from the Wei family.

Therefore, the two kings of the Wei family want to protect, and the Baoli faction led by Di Fuzi will definitely try their best to oppose it.

As for whether anyone at this imperial meeting really cared about the life and death of the 1,500 soldiers, who knows.

That Ouyang Lianghan, who went to the book alone and raised the banner of opposition, might be counted as one?

But, in fact, no one cares.

To be honest, Di Fuzi and the other Baoli faction would stand up in front of the emperor and meddle in this matter, but Wei Zhenzai, Yao Gongyu and other Yi Ziqing ministers were a little surprised.

Because of the mutiny of the Guizhou soldiers, it actually did not have much impact on the Baoli faction in the court, and at most it was used as a political grasp to attack the Wei family.

It's just that the mutiny happened suddenly, and no one expected it before, so the situation of the Baoli party is unknown.

There was no layout in advance, and he didn't get the exact handle to hit Wei's vital point.

Didn't you see that the master didn't say much, and Shen Xisheng, who spoke out, was invoking Ouyang Lianghan most of the time.

Therefore, from a political and rational point of view, it is best for the Baoli faction to sit on the sidelines and watch the play, ridicule and sneer.

Even the more disturbances made by these 1,500 mutinous soldiers on the Jiangnan Road side, the better, allowing Wei and the refuge to make many mistakes and consume energy.

Clearly, however, someone might have persuaded Div to change his mind.

The most likely one is Ouyang Lianghan, who could have been hung up without caring about himself......

As for the moment, before Her Majesty the Empress spoke, what the Wei clan and the Baoli faction were fighting for was actually one thing in the final analysis.

That's qualitative.

Characterization of the incident of the mutiny of the soldiers in Guizhou and their return to the north.

After the qualitative, the imperial court will take corresponding measures,

Even if this qualitative deviation is only one word, the impact on the actions of the court behind it is a world of difference.

That's why the two sides didn't budge.

"Sage, the minister is very confused, very strange."

Wei Jihei showed a puzzled face:

"If the minister remembers correctly, Jiangzhou Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan's duties do not involve military affairs, and His Majesty has never given him any military position.

"It's not within his scope of responsibility, how can he have so much news that is contrary to the reaction of the military government in the three states?

"Holy Ones, is it possible that we do not listen to the words of the Lord, but prefer to believe the words of irrelevant people?

"The governors of Gui, Hong, and Jiang and the generals of the military government are united in their statement, and there are suspected traitors in the mutiny and rebellion, and they should be taken seriously!"

"Ouyang Lianghan is the governor of Jiang, he is in the state involved in the matter, and he already has the power to report the governor, why can't he exercise it? Do you want to deceive the Holy Hearing? ”

"Lord Shen and Ouyang Lianghan are really lenient."

Shen Xisheng ignored it, turned around and saluted respectfully:

"Sage, let me ask, if this group of soldiers returning to the north really rebelled, how could they march so slowly? And on the day of the mutiny, why didn't he attack the nearby untouchable capital city of Guizhou, but returned directly to the north?

"And on the way back to the north, I haven't heard of them capturing the prefecture and county, looting the treasury, not to mention plundering the ships, speeding up the north, and almost no crimes along the way.

"The minister is lonely and ignorant, and he has never seen such a rebellious army in history.

"This is not homecoming, presumably the leading soldiers will regret their hesitant and impulsive actions at this moment.

"Their strange move along the way is to try to show Your Majesty that they are not deliberately rebelling, but being forced to return to their hometown, hoping that Your Majesty will know what is going on!"

Wei Sixing nodded: "According to Lord Shen, even if this group of armed soldiers goes all the way north to enter the customs and rush to the Shendu City, they don't need to stop them, it can be said that they are entering the capital to face the saint." ”

"Strong words."

"It's Lord Shen's reason that doesn't hold water."

Wei Jiji interjected coldly:

"Who knows what their goal is, what if it's a deceptive move? The target is Hongzhou and Jiangzhou in the southeast, and the purpose is to cut off the Yangtze River.

"Even the key prefectures that endanger Yangzhou, which involves the southeast, may not be able to let them run around, and they should be suppressed immediately, what is there to discuss."

Wei Sixing decisively qualitative:

"A mutiny is a mutiny, a rebel is a rebel, is it a child's play, how can you hesitate and let it go?"

Shen Xisheng didn't let in:

"The lower official did not say that he was exempt from laissez-faire, and although the soldiers were responsible for the mutiny, if there was an inside story, none of the people behind him who were demonic and rebelled could not be spared, and the crime should be increased by one degree.

"As Governor Jiang Shi Ouyang Lianghan said, His Majesty should send a special envoy to strictly investigate, find out the main culprit, and abandon the city and behead him! The situation is clear, and the disaster will be solved immediately, otherwise it will ......"

Wei Jihei squinted: "Otherwise, what?" ”

"Otherwise, the soldiers on the border will be cold, and the people with lofty ideals in the world will not accept it, and there will be endless troubles in the future."

The Great Zhou Wei King sneered:

"Is Ouyang Lianghan threatening His Majesty and the imperial court?"

"Since when did the good words of the virtuous become a threat?"

Wei Jihei was angry: "Be bold ......"

"Alright."

An old woman's voice, which was quite small, sounded softly.

The noisy hall fell silent.
