Shao Guang, the imperial historian who had already married Wei Qian, was also righteous and indignant at this time, and wanted to write a letter to impeach Yao Qian for dereliction of duty, and advised the court to punish him for capital crimes.

"Lang Jun thinks that the general of the defeated army should be executed?" Wei Yi snatched the "murder weapon" in Shao Guang's hand lightly and skillfully, she frowned slightly, and the word disapproval was clearly written on her face.

"Yao Qian, as a general of Zhenbei, suffered such a tragic defeat, shouldn't he be held accountable for dereliction of duty?"

"Wuwei Hou once was defeated because of the delay of the military order, if the first emperor would have executed Wu Wei Hou at that time, how could Wu Wei Hou make great achievements when he conquered the barbarians? Although General Yao was defeated, it remains to be seen whether he made a mistake, and if he is executed at this time, it will not be conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army, so the concubine thinks that the most important thing at the moment is how to resolve the danger of Jinshuo. ”

There is some truth in this, Shao Guang hesitated, and Wei Mian continued to make persistent efforts: "Moreover, the Queen Mother has also decided to escort Yao Qian to Chang'an for trial, if Yao Qian is really guilty of dereliction of duty, the Queen Mother will not be spared, but if it is just difficult to resist the enemy's strength, of course, she will be punished, but it is not a capital crime...... Lang Jun is a civil servant, and he doesn't know about military affairs and wars in detail, but he can't just rely on righteousness, but he is used by people with ill intentions to be honest and loyal. ”

Seeing that Shao Guang was simply frowning and silent, Wei Yan's small hand touched his shoulder again: "Lang Jun imagines, if the generals are defeated and executed, will anyone dare to take on the responsibility of leading the army in the future?" During the period of Wuzong, the crusade against Goguryeo, the vanguard general was defeated due to improper command, Wuzong not only did not execute him, but gave him the opportunity to bring the guilt of the force, and then the general really turned defeat into victory, and made great contributions to the prosperity of Wuzong, on the contrary, when the last emperor of the previous dynasty was in power, the general of the defeated army was killed, so that the army's heart floated, and the defeat was retreated, and the last emperor still did not repent, and died in the army mutiny, and died of the country. ”

In one fell swoop of these two examples, Shao Guang completely lost his opinion, and sat stiffly on the couch and sighed.

Wei Yan reminded him again, and his tone became more and more gentle: "Lang Jun was in a hurry to impeach General Yao, but he neglected another thing, the Ministry of Rites Lang asked to repair Xingqing Palace some time ago, although it was claimed that the palace was the residence of Zhongzong, if it was allowed to be disrespectful to the ancestors, it would lose its royal style, but at this time, the treasury was empty, and there was a sudden war, how could it be used in the palace to consume a lot of manpower and materials?" There are also many princes and nobles in Beijing who are extravagant, which is also very contrary to the frugal government of Emperor Gaozu. ”

He personally studied ink and paper for Shao Guang, and watched Shao Guang write the impeachment seal.

It's just that Shao Guang didn't forget to discuss with He Zhan and Lu Li before handing over the impeachment seal, because although he felt that what Wei Yan said seemed to have some truth, there were always strange things, and he was really not sure what to do.

"With three or two words in the order, Bo Rong thought that Yao Qian's crime was not worthy of death?" He Zhan was a little ridiculous.

"No...... It is true that he does not know military affairs. Shao Guang felt ashamed, and puffed up his chest suddenly: "If Chengtai thinks that Yao Qian really deserves to die, I will still write this impeachment chapter!" ”

He Zhan rubbed his forehead, or Lu left to relieve Shao Guang: "Borong is just serving the imperial history, even if it is written as an impeachment chapter, Shangguan can also deduct it, but Borong does not need to worry, the impeachment of Yao Qian is by no means Borong alone, but, since there is no evidence of Yao Qian's dereliction of duty, the Queen Mother will not sentence him to death, in a word, whether this impeachment chapter is written or not, no matter how many people write it, it has little effect, because the Queen Mother is nepotistic, not fair and just." ”

"Then do you just watch the traitor and villain get away with it? How can Youyan's tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle be blind? The people of Yanzhao, whose homes were destroyed and displaced, are even more innocent! ”

"So what does Borong think it should be? If death can change the outcome, I also agree with Bo Rong sacrificing his life for the community, but if death not only cannot make any changes, but even bear the guilt, wouldn't it be in vain? Lu Li shook his head: "Investigate the root cause, for the rulers to be stupid and greedy, traitors and villains have a foothold, and what we are doing is to set things right, before that, we must put an end to unnecessary sacrifices." ”

Shao Guang was depressed, and said after a long time: "What Xuan Zhi said, Guang kept it in mind, so another matter...... The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is clearly the queen mother's party, why did Wei Qiniang instigate me to impeach? Repairing Xingqing Palace seems to be the willingness of the Queen Mother! ”

He Zhan smiled: "Then Borong thinks that he should stop the construction of the palace?" ”

"Of course it should be stopped." Shao Guang said affirmatively.

"Then Borong can submit the impeachment seal, as for why there is such a suggestion in the order, I believe that after the result is clear, Borong will be able to understand." He Zhan sold it for the time being.

So Shao Guang was confused and submitted the impeachment seal.

Just as He Zhan and Lu Li inferred, since the fall of Youyan was made public, many officials have impeached Yao Qian for capital crimes, among which Lin Xi is the most active, and even launched many scholars to jointly admonish, but several ministers have dissented, and the rhetoric is naturally no different from Wei Qian's, so the Queen Mother decided to escort Yao Qian to Chang'an for trial, but before that, of course, it is necessary to draw up a candidate to replace Yao Qian.

Until this time, the Queen Mother was still hesitating!

I originally wanted to put Wuwei Hou in front of me to test, to make sure that it was a sincere service, three or two years later, and then transferred to Youzhou, with Yao Qian to guard Jinzhou, but also to guard against Wuwei Hou's heart of disobedience, where did I think that the north would have a drastic change at this time, even if Yao Qian could save his life this time, he could not be appointed as a border general no longer in any case, and it was inevitable to return to Chang'an, but if there was no Yao Qian to guard Jinshuo to prevent future troubles, how could he rest assured that hundreds of thousands of troops would be handed over to Wuwei Hou with full control?

But if you don't use Wuweihou, although Mao and Yuan Dang also have military generals, the Queen Mother is also not at ease and gullible, and the more important thing is that in case Jinshuo is lost, there is no Xiongguan from Zhongzhou to Gyeonggi, and the national capital is in danger!

The Queen Mother hesitated like this, except for Xie Raoping who remained silent, Wei Yuanping, Mao Wei, and Yuan Dezhi turned on the mutual pinching mode of blushing and thick necks, and the roof of the political hall was almost not lifted.

Several ministers have their own selfish intentions, and the Queen Mother has always known it, so she wants to ask for advice, but she relies more on rising stars such as He Zhan and Xu Xiuneng.

Xu Xiuneng had already discussed with the "ally" of Eleven Niang when he knew about the upheaval.

"The Queen Mother is more inclined to Wuweihou, but obviously she is still worried, but in my opinion, the current situation is critical, and it is true that only by transferring Wuweihou to the north can Jinshuo not be lost." Of course, Eleven Niang has to help Wu Weihou at this time.

But Xu Xiuneng hesitated: "After all, King Jin and Wuwei Hou are also connected......

"The King of Jin is in Chang'an, and life and death are not up to him." Shi Niang asserted: "Even if the Queen Mother is worried, the root knot is not the King of Jin, but she is worried that Wu Weihou is only sincere on the surface, but she has the heart to see the wind and rudder." ”

Xu Xiuneng thought for a long time, and then bowed his head: "Excluding the factor of King Jin, Marquis Wuwei will at least not be in the same stream as King Ruyang, and his eldest grandson marries his wife Wei's daughter, compared to the rest, it is actually more impossible to betray the Queen Mother, perhaps, if the Queen Mother really does not let go of her doubts, when the crisis in Jinshuo is eased, she can transfer another cronies to guard Jinzhou to prevent Marquis Wuwei from rebelling." ”

Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "Erlang is thoughtful, and I privately think that I can admonish him." ”

So He Zhan, Lu Li and Xu Xiuneng almost had the same voice, especially Xu Xiuneng's suggestions, which made the Queen Mother even more satisfied.

That's true, you can wait until the crisis is eased, and then consider dispatching henchmen to guard Jinju and contain the Marquis of Wuwei.

The Queen Mother immediately made a decision, Xie Raoping naturally had no objections, Mao Wei and Yuan Dezhi had no choice but to stop fighting, the quarrel in the political hall subsided, but the Zongzheng Hall quarreled again, of course, the King of Ruyang resolutely disagreed with the Wuwei Hou to defend the North Pass, and the person he recommended was the Weiwei general Zhou Chang, which is not to say that Zhou Chang is a member of the Ruyang Wang's party, but if the Ruyang King has the grace to recommend him, he will naturally have an opportunity to get close.

He Ye will naturally participate in this round of quarrels in Zongzheng Hall, but the matter involves important military affairs, this time the debate is unprecedentedly fierce, He Ye's nonsense is really a bit of a child's play, the king of Nanyang does not express his position as usual, and the king of Yichuan is unable to support it alone, and the situation is at an impasse for a while.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait, she finally took action.

So on this day, the eldest daughter-in-law of the prince of Nanyang, Qian, was edicted to enter the palace.

Eleven Niang is also near the Queen Mother, as soon as she saw that the Qian family was edicted alone, she knew that it was not good, and sure enough, she heard the Queen Mother go straight to the point and said: "Although your eldest son He Ji is thirteen years old, but most of the children of the clan are married early, and he is the great-eldest grandson of the Nanyang Wang, and he will have the weight of inheritance in the future, and it is natural to think about marriage early. ”

The king of Nanyang is bent on keeping his head in obscurity, even the eldest daughter-in-law is not from a prestigious background, the Qian family is an ordinary family, always gentle and kind, and where can he resist the queen mother's obvious signal, since he will not say that Yang Shiniang is not good, the queen mother smiled and said: "In this way, I will let Xie Xiang be the matchmaker, on behalf of the Nanyang royal mansion, to ask to marry the daughter of the Yang family as the great-eldest granddaughter-in-law." ”

Eleven Niang: !!

That Yang daughter is obviously happy with He Qing, this is good, she has become He Ji's future wife, won't she call Jiu Niang an aunt in the future? !

Qian entered the palace once, and the eldest son, who was just thirteen years old, had a fiancée, and she also felt mysterious, and left in despair, and the queen mother asked Eleven Niang: "Yi Yi seems to be surprised?" ”

Eleven Niang came back to her senses: "Yang Fifteen Niang and Sister Jiu are only afraid that it will be difficult to get along and get along in the future. ”

"She's a junior, so what? Moreover, He Qing's father is not long, and sooner or later he should live separately, and the two will be just relatives in the future, so Yiyi does not need to worry about Jiu Niang's situation. The Queen Mother obviously has the intention to test Eleven Niang: "Do you know why I want to promote this marriage?" ”

"The Queen Mother should be...... I want the king of Nanyang to choose a position. "Eleven Niang is not without worries.

The Queen Mother bowed: "I know what you're worried about, but since the monarchy is already in danger, the King of Nanyang is bound to make a decision." ”

In fact, the Queen Mother also knew in her heart that relying only on such a compulsory marriage was not enough to make the King of Nanyang determined to surrender, but at least for now, the King of Nanyang could be forced to approve of the Marquis of Wuwei to defend the north, and she still had other plans for this matter, she just wanted to let He Qi understand that it was impossible to gain the upper hand in the matter of winning people's hearts, and the existence of Zongzheng Hall was a great constraint, not to mention that the Yao Qian incident would inevitably make He Qi question it, the Queen Mother had no patience to deal with He Qi, she wanted to force He Qi to completely expose her fangs, and then uproot them!
