Su Zhe and Su Tai's openings were not expected by many ministers, not to mention them, even Su Xuanyong was surprised, with a little relief in the depths of his eyes.

Su Xuanyong's relief is not that the two are the most suitable candidates, but mainly because the two of them take the initiative to express their attitude, which alone is enough.

When the ministers were stunned, Su Zhe and Su Tai came to the front of the hall, and then knelt down and hugged their fists.

"Father, speaking of this matter, in the final analysis, it is the son's assertion that caused today's disaster, for the stability of the northwest border, but also to make up for the fault of the son, this time the commander of the army will let the son-chan go."

"Father, what the second brother said is very true, but this matter is not the fault of the second brother alone, and the sons are also at fault, if you watch the second brother go alone, the sons feel ashamed, and ask the father to issue an order to let the sons and the second brother supervise the northwest together."

"I hope my father will be fulfilled."

After that, both of them solemnly kowtowed to Su Xuanyong, not to mention how sincere their attitudes and words were.

The ministers in the hall watched this scene, recovered from the shock, and spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, what the two princes did moved the old ministers, but the two princes are noble, and they really want to go to the northwest together, although they can boost their morale, but let these small countries know about the evil spirits, what will they think? I'm afraid that they will despise our dynasty even more, and they will think that there is no one in our dynasty, which is absolutely unacceptable, and please think twice about it. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with what Zai Fu said, after all, the two princes have noble status, and to put it mildly, the command of the war is really far less than that of the war-rich military marquis."

"The two princes can say this, it is enough to boost morale, if you really want the prince to go on the expedition, the negative is far greater than the positive, and please Your Majesty can choose the right person, I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

The courtiers' stopping, their intentions, Su Xuanyong didn't know, to be honest, he could see that the prince who was originally fighting openly and secretly had such a harmonious side, even if this kind of harmony was made falsely, but at least he had an attitude.

That's enough, what Su Xuanyong wants is the statement of the two princes, as for really sending the two to the northwest to supervise the war, it is impossible.

As Zheng Yuan said, in order to deal with a small evil spirit, he actually sent a prince to supervise the war, and he was still the most powerful prince in the court.

This is a great humiliation for the Great Liang of the Celestial Empire, which Su Xuanyong knows better than anyone else.

He nodded slightly, motioned for Su Zhe and Su Tai to get up, and then said, "King Jin and King Zhao have a heart, and the widow is very relieved, but the candidates for the overseer have to be selected from the actual combat army, so you two should step back first." ”

Su Zhe and Su Tai showed a look of pity on their faces, clenched their fists and said yes, and stepped aside.

As Su Xuanyong's voice fell, the hall suddenly became much quieter, everyone remained silent, bowed their heads and said nothing, and at this moment, Su Qi'an's voice suddenly sounded.

"Since my colleagues, I can't choose a suitable candidate, so let Ben Hou volunteer."

"Your Majesty, the Hundred Chiefs are willing to serve as the Overseer, assist the Lord Protector, and quell the rebellion in the Western Regions."

Su Qi'an's clear voice resounded in the hall, and the ministers in the hall were stunned at first, and then hugged their fists.

"Your Majesty, since the Hundred Chiefs are willing to lead the troops and supervise the army, Weichen thinks that the Hundred Chiefs are indeed the best candidates."

"Before, it was Weichen who despised Baishou Hou too much, too self-righteous, Weichen apologized again to Baishou here, and the previous target was that Weichen was narrow-minded, and I hope Baishou Hou can forgive."

"Weichen is also willing to be here, solemnly apologize to the Hundred Shouhou, what happened before, it was wrong for me to wait, I hope the Baishou Marquis will understand."

After a while, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed to an apology meeting to Su Qi'an.

Basically, every courtier solemnly apologized to Su Qi'an again, and his voice came and went, which was called sincerity.

Su Xuanyong looked at this scene, did not stop it, but waited patiently, and only after about a quarter of an hour did the sound of apology stop.

Su Xuanyong looked at Su Qi'an, who had a calm face, and said softly, "Baishou Hou, the widow asked you, but you are sincere, and you are not forced to take the position of Northwest Overseer?" If you regret it, it's too late now, and the widow won't be strong. ”

"After all, you are the master of the horse, your contribution to Da Liang, there has really been no good rest in the past few years, let you command the army at this time, don't say whether Feng Ling will agree, even the widow can't bear it, I summoned you today, just want you to listen, as long as you are willing, the widow allows you to regret it, and guarantees that no one will embarrass you."

Su Xuanyong's words were not deliberately playful, but from the heart, although he had a big quarrel with Su Qi'an, there were differences in ideas, and there were gaps between the monarchs and ministers.

But it doesn't mean that Su Xuanyong will hate Su Qi'an, the stability of the Daliang Quartet border in recent years is not all due to Su Qi'an, but at least about half.

Su Xuanyong really didn't want to see Su Qi'an so tired, so he could rest for a while, and there would be opportunities in the future.

Su Qi'an shook his head, with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this matter was not coerced, but what Weichen thought in his heart, His Majesty's kindness, and Weichen understood it." ”

"But as Your Majesty said, the turmoil in the Western Regions is far from being caused by a small country, and the Darong behind it is the scourge, Weichen and Darong have dealt with each other, not to mention that they will be pulled out this time, but it will definitely make the two northwestern states worry-free, this time the overseer, let Weichen go."

Su Xuanyong is not a person of ink, looking at Su Qi'an and said seriously, "Okay, since the Baishou Marquis insists on this, the widow will not talk nonsense, pass on the widow's will, the Baishou Marquis serves as the governor of the Northwest, commands the army, and has the power to control all the military and political power in the two northwest states. ”

"The officials of the six ministries, Zaifu and Guogong must do a good job of all logistical support, and if there is any deduction and delay the military aircraft, they will be beheaded at the noon gate."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers in the hall all nodded with their fists clenched, shouting Shengming in their mouths, but their faces twitched slightly unconsciously.

I thought that Su Xuanyong would have a lot of power over Su Qi'an, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

This kind of decentralization is the most in history, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monopoly to become a hegemon.

Is this still the so-called lack of trust from the monarch and ministers? Got a gap? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it, but it is more and more dependent and trusting.

The candidates for the commander of the troops have been decided, and the next thing to discuss is some details, and after about half an hour, it can be regarded as basically finalized.

Commander Su Qi'an, and the general of this expedition, Lingdong Hou Xie Cang, and his 10,000 Split Mountain Army were more than 20,000 state soldiers drawn from Jiaozhou.

There are about 35,000 people in total, and this is all the horses that Su Qi'an went to the northwest to supervise the army this time.

It's not that these armies are capable of fighting, the main thing is that they are convenient and easy to use, these were all formed by Su Qi'an at the beginning.

With him, there won't be much of a problem.

Transferring people seems to be a trivial matter, but there is a lot of knowledge in transferring your own people.

If Su Qi'an dared to do this before, he was afraid that he would have been impeached in the face by the courtiers a long time ago, and the spittle flew wildly.

But this time Su Qi'an put forward the conditions, Su Xuanyong agreed to all of them, using his own people and horses, and giving such a big power of life and death, to the locality, not suspicious, if he was replaced by other generals, I am afraid that he would have been ambitious a long time ago, and if he didn't do well, he would have to divide one side.

And Su Xuanyong not only did not doubt Su Qi'an's behavior, but agreed unconditionally, how much trust this must be.

As the deliberations came to an end, under the shouting of the chamberlain, the deliberations, which lasted for more than an hour, finally came to an end.

The ministers who walked out of the hall one after another had calm faces, but their hearts were sad and gloomy.

There was no happiness at the celebration banquet at all, and this discussion made them feel that stealing chickens and rice was not successful.

In today's deliberations, the reason why they did not impeach and did not oppose Su Qi'an, but blindly backed down, and even respectfully, was not because they really knew that they were wrong.

Instead, he took retreat as advance, and through the success at the celebration banquet, let them know that they could not deal with Su Qi'an hard, but only soft.

And the result of the discussion, as they expected, was still Su Qi'an as the overseer of the northwest, and he took the initiative to propose it.

Transferred Su Qi'an out of Kyoto, fought everywhere, quelled the rebellion, and stabilized the stability of Da Liang, as King Jin said, Su Qi'an did so much, and they were the ones who benefited in the end.

It is equivalent to becoming a chess piece in the hands of King Jin and King Zhao in disguise, solving the turmoil in Da Liang, even if such a person can't be used for his own use, what does it matter?

After understanding the intentions of the two, the courtiers naturally changed their hatred of Su Qi'an, from hard to soft, and always held it, in harmony.

But in today's deliberations, they found a problem, that is, His Majesty did not have a grudge against Su Qi'an, but became more and more trusting and dependent.

If they didn't trust it, how could they give such a big right, their goal was achieved, to transfer Su Qi'an out of Kyoto and fight everywhere.

But it did not destroy the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers, but became stronger and stronger, so their hypocrisy is not in vain, but thankless? What's the point?

This is the most confused place for many courtiers, leaving the main hall and walking towards the outside of the imperial city, during which they want to find Zheng Yuan, Zhao Cheng, and Sima Yue.

Let's not talk about it, let's see if we can get new hints, but out of the palace, the three princes, as if they didn't see it, each got into their own carriage, and the carriage started, and soon disappeared from sight.

The officials of the six ministries shook their heads helplessly at this scene, and then turned around and left on their own.

The behavior of the courtiers had long been seen by Su Zhe and Su Tai, who were standing in the distance.

The two looked at it for a while, their eyes retracted, and Su Tai said softly, "Hehe, it seems that the second brother's actions have confused these officials, if they don't explain, they all have to be emotional." ”

"Hmph, explain? If you can't even turn this corner, what qualifications do you have to follow this king, just change a batch. ”

Su Zhe's face was expressionless, his words were cold, in his eyes, these courtiers were like dispensable chess pieces, if they were valuable, they would be discarded.

Su Tai on the side echoed with a smile, "Hehe, I'm not as troublesome as my second brother, I don't like trouble, if I'm in charge, just kill it directly, anyway, the most important thing in Da Liang is talent." ”
