After the emperor went to the court, after the courtiers shouted, Shangguan Wenxuan stepped out of the train first, and said loudly: "Inheriting Your Majesty's Tianwei, my army has been on the expedition for several months, and the soldiers of the department have killed the enemy bravely, and the army of Beast Yang has retreated, and the minister presents the harvest of this battle to His Majesty." ”

Long Xiao nodded slightly, and several eunuchs outside the hall rushed in, unfurling a large flag embroidered with a lion in their hands, and the courtiers turned their heads to look.

"This is the handsome banner of the Ten Emperors of the Beast Yang Lion Head Shilang, and the ministers specially present this thing to show the imperial prestige of His Majesty." Shangguan Wenxuan said proudly.

Long Xiao was also very satisfied, waved his hand to let several eunuchs retreat, and said: "Lord Shangguan is worthy of the pillars of Longteng, and he has been specially given a piece of jade Ruyi, and he has been transferred to the military department to show his reward. ”

Shangguan Wenxuan hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the guard general's name is Chen Yuanjun, and the official is Longwei Guan Xuanfu Envoy Zheng Sipin, this time he defeated the Beast Yang army, this person has made a great contribution." ”

"In that case, it should also be rewarded, what does the military department mean?"

Shangguan Wenxuan had also discussed this matter with Long Yun, the prince of Shangshuwei of the Ministry of War, in advance, and Long Yun immediately spoke: "According to merit, it is enough to be promoted to the general of Beiyaozhou, but this person is still young, I am afraid it will be difficult to be convincing, and he also has Hu Yanqing, the general of Zhenbei, and Bao Yunfei, the general of Anbei, who may not be able to take on the position of the general of Beiyaozhou."

And the general of Bei Pass Prefecture Ling Hu Qianqiu lost an arm in the war, unwilling to enter the court as an official, and General Zhuo Sheng sacrificed his life for the country, Bei Pass Prefecture is in need of a fierce general, Wei Chen suggested that the post of deputy general of Bei Pass Prefecture be set up, and the official residence is three products, which is served by Chen Yuanjun, the general of Pingbei of Bei Pass Prefecture, and promoted Chen Yuanjun to the general of An Pass, to assist Linghu Qianqiu in handling military affairs at the border pass, and to resist the Tiger Pass guard General Xuanyuan Banmeng, the enemy of the beast Yang army, to ensure that the Tiger Pass is not lost, and it is also indispensable, and he is promoted to the general of Pinghua Pass to live in the third grade, and assist in leading the military affairs of the North Pass. ”

As soon as these words came out, there were whispers in the court, each state only set up the post of general, and never set up a deputy general, and it is unreasonable for Bei Pass Prefecture to set this precedent.

Long Xiao thought that this method was good, and he still wanted to reuse it for those who had the ability, but it was not easy to speak directly, so he turned his head to look at one of the courtiers and said, "What do you think of the officials?" ”

When it comes to the appointment of officials, Long Xiao still has to listen to the opinions of Liu Gai, the secretary of the ministry.

Liu Gai, the secretary of the ministry, took a step forward and said: "Although this move is not in line with the etiquette system, but the northern pass is the border, and the original general of the northern pass is also injured, so the minister thinks that it is feasible to set up the post of deputy general." ”

He touched the light of the Shangguan family this time, and he can be regarded as a meritorious minister, and he did not want to refute the meaning of the Shangguan family and Prince Wei at the moment, so he naturally agreed.

"Okay, then this matter is so decided, as for other meritorious people, the military department will unify the meritorious deeds and rewards, and you must not chill the hearts of my border army." Long Xiao saw that the officials had no objections, so he immediately made a decision.

Shangguan Wenxuan's face showed a smug smile, he now has the grace of knowing the two border guards who are in the limelight, so he is not afraid that the two of them will not give him face in the future.

With a few coughs from Long Xiao, the court was quiet again.

Long Xiao looked at Ouyang Mogu, who had an unnatural face on the side, and asked, "I heard that Ouyang Yunqing was not captured, and he also came back with the army this time, ladies and gentlemen, how should you deal with the escape from the battle?" ”

"Kill according to the law!"

An angry shout came from the hall, and everyone's hearts trembled, it turned out to be Zhuge Jin, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

That is, Zhuge Qingshi's father, this person has a righteous face, about forty or fifty years old, since he entered the Criminal Department, he has always enforced the law impartially, although he still advances and retreats with the Ouyang family in terms of political views, but everything involves things that violate the law, he has always been ruthless, known as black-faced beans, and oil and salt do not enter.

The official Shangshu was also furious after learning that Ouyang Yunqing had abandoned his son and fled for his life alone, and he also stepped forward at the moment: "Your Majesty, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules. Ouyang Yunqing escaped from the battle, causing hundreds of thousands of my troops to die tragically at the border pass, and he should be beheaded to show the public, in order to correct the law of the country! ”

"Chen Longge seconded the proposal, rewarding merit and punishing it, it is justified, Ouyang Yunqing returned in defeat, and he should be punished heavily."

Followed by the former Shangshu of the Military Department and the current Shangshu of the Household Department, Longge stood up, he is also a member of the Shangguan family, and now he is in charge of the money bags of the imperial court.

Shangguan Wenxuan was silent on the side, after all, the contradiction between himself and Ouyang Yunqing was well known, and it seemed that his strength was too small to jump out and join him again at this time.

Seeing that three of the six Shangshu in the DPRK have come out, the power of impeachment is breathtaking, and the courtiers are also bowing their heads one after another, quietly watching the play, and several factions are attacking the Ouyang family at the same time, who dares to intervene in ordinary people, isn't that looking for abuse?

Ouyang Minggu, who was at the forefront, couldn't help trembling, and he didn't say a word, he had already foreseen the current situation, otherwise he wouldn't have personally gone to the good house to ask the good man to come out of the mountain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's good to listen to the old man." Bang Guogong Shanwei Long stood up tremblingly, and the court suddenly quieted down, Bang Guogong's name is not called in vain, he is holding a spear and fighting with the enemy with Emperor Longteng, many people present have not yet been born.

Shangguan Yuyun squinted his eyes silently, and glanced at his old opponent who had not been out of the mountain for many years.

Shanweilong squinted his eyes and glanced at the three Shangshu who stood up: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that victory and defeat are common things in the battlefield, how can he cut off the heads of important ministers in the court because of a defeat?" I carefully read Ouyang Yunqing's confession, because of the sudden arrival of reinforcements from Beastyang, General Ouyang took the lead in ordering the foot soldiers to retreat in order to preserve his strength and return to the blood lipid pass, which was reasonable, but the Beastyang army was desperate and threw down our cavalry to go straight to the infantry phalanx. According to Weichen, Ouyang Yunqing is indeed guilty of improper command, but he will never escape responsibility! ”

After saying that, several generals among the courtiers echoed one after another, saying that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was nothing wrong with the main general making a decision on the spot.

Clear-eyed people could see at a glance that these generals were all drawn up by the good family and the Ouyang family, and for a while, the court fell into an eerie silence.

Shanweilong spoke again: "The three Shangshu Lords, who are not saints and sages, General Ouyang has served the imperial court for many years, how can he cover up his many years of credit because of a momentary responsibility." The old man fought so many battles back then, and when he was defeated, he also lost his armor and abandoned his armor, is it possible that you even have to cut off the head of the old man? ”
