Chapter 229: Food and Clothing

If the Xiongnu really came to the Wu Dynasty this time, then their biggest crisis must be the loss of the annexed state, which implicates the safety of the capital.

If Zhao Chongshan is allowed to take office, Liu Zhongqing is worried that his political future will be affected, so he will refuse.

Guo Mengsheng of Feng Yijun is an old bone who does not eat oil and salt, and Liu Zhongqing's repeated visits have not made him change his mind.

Thinking of Guo Mengsheng, Liu Zhongqing suddenly raised his head, and suddenly realized, why didn't Guo Mengsheng come to the court today?

Li Yunxing nodded, he also did not agree to let Zhao Chongshan leave Beijing, the safety of the capital was more important than Mount Tai, and he would not transfer it easily.

"Then according to Zaifu's intentions, who is suitable to lead the troops on the expedition?"

Liu Zhongqing pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Zaisuke, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this Hun suddenly sent troops, but there are other reasons? As far as the lower officials know, although the Xiongnu have harassed the border of our Wu Dynasty many times, they have never provoked a large-scale war, why did they suddenly send a large army south this time? I'm afraid there is something hidden in it. ”

Li Yunxing sneered, sure enough, Liu Zhongqing was an old fox, and his words hit the nail on the head.

"What does Zaisuke mean that this palace should first find out the reason and then consider how to dispatch troops?"

Li Yunxing's deep eyes flashed a hint of fierceness, he wanted to see what tricks Liu Zhongqing, the old fox, wanted to play.

"Wechen don't dare! Wei Chen just reminded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be cautious. After all, the Huns are ambitious, and if they rashly send troops, I am afraid they will suffer a big loss. ”

"As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, what Lord Zaisuke said is indeed true." Qi Ming, the big Honglu next to him, also opened his mouth in agreement.

As soon as this trend changed, everyone immediately changed their attitude.

Instead of fighting, it is better to make peace.

Many people feel that this battle is really strange.

However, the struggle between the Xiongnu and the Wu Dynasty has been going on for a long time, and all the Xiongnu want is some land and cities.

Now that Lian Zhan is not here, if he rushes to meet the battle, I am afraid that he will be defeated one after another.

When the Wu Dynasty falls, his black gauze hat will be lost, and even the entire family will suffer.

They don't want to do that.

It is better to negotiate directly with the Xiongnu Shan Yu, just like he did with Chu Guowen at the beginning, and sell a small amount of the city in exchange for peace.

In this way, you don't need to spend a single soldier to save the country, and you can bargain, why not?

Liu Zhongqing was relieved to see that everyone was on his side.

What he wants now is to delay the time first, if the Wu Dynasty sends troops, the Xiongnu and the Wu Dynasty will have to have a battle.

What's more, if there is really a war, it is impossible for the southeast battalion to sit idly by, and if Liu Chen is allowed to go into battle, Liu Zhongqing is really worried that the Liu family will be extinct because of this.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is better for us to show goodwill to the Xiongnu first and make peace with the Xiongnu. In this way, a war is also saved. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is a war, I don't know how much food and materials will be consumed."

The more Li Yunxing listened, the more angry he felt, when his father succeeded to the throne, he was also a Xiongnu offender, and he personally led elite soldiers to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu.

But now that the father has not passed away, these ministers are so afraid of the Huns, do they want to give away the country that Emperor Wu has laid down by his own hands?

"That's enough, wait for Hugh to babble." He slammed the table, shocking everyone.

"Peace? Before the war started, you thought about surrendering, how can you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death worthy of being courtiers! ”

"The Wu Dynasty has always been a strong monarch and prosperous culture. Now that it has surrendered to the enemy and spread it, what is the face of this palace? Where is your reputation? Where does the majesty of the Wu Dynasty exist? ”

Li Yunxing was furious, and everyone was scolded so much that they lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.

"You, Xielulang of Taichang Temple, the official residence is eight grades, forty taels of age, and forty meters of rice."

"You, Honglu Temple Zuo Sicheng, the official residence is from the sixth grade, the age is one hundred taels, and the rice is two hundred hundred."

"And you, you, you! Each of you is a servant of the imperial court, and all of your food and clothing are borne by the imperial court. ”

"Do you think that this money was taken out by my Li royal family?"

"It's the people, and the people are your food and clothing!"

Li Yunxing's eyes were cold, and he went over one by name.

These people, which one of them did not rely on the people to have today, and which one did not rely on the ancestral shade to live, and now when they encounter such a situation, the first thing they think about is how to save their lives, but they do not consider the safety of the people at all.

The five people named were even more embarrassed, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, they didn't expect the prince to be furious and say such things.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, and the ministers are guilty, please punish His Highness." Everyone knelt down in unison, begging for mercy in fear.

"Reprimand?" Li Yunxing sneered, "You are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, loyalty and patriotism, but when you really encounter something, you are timid, what does this palace want you to do with waste!" ”

The five of them trembled with fright, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but they didn't expect the prince to be furious and say such things.

"How can the people be outraged by just punishing? It's just a punishment, how can you stop the mouths of the people? This palace wants all five of you to resign from your official positions and get out of the Jinluan Palace. ”

Li Yunxing's words made everyone completely dumbfounded, and their eyes widened one by one, as if they had heard something incredible.

Resigned?

They are important ministers of the court, and the prince actually wants them to resign?!

Seeing that the prince was really angry, Liu Zhongqing couldn't watch from the wall anymore, and hurriedly walked to Li Yunxing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't do it!"

"Zaisuke, this is to refute Hongu?" Li Yunxing looked at Liu Zhongqing coldly.

"The old minister has no such intentions, but His Royal Highness the Prince, the Huns are about to be overwhelmed by the Huns, and the Wu Dynasty is the time to employ people, if the prince clears them, I am afraid that the people will stand in the midst of fire and water."

After Liu Zhongqing finished speaking, he fell silent and didn't say a word, just looked at Li Yunxing, and a dark light crossed his eyes.

He didn't believe that Li Yunxing was so bold, and among the people who were able to make peace, there were still many officials above the seventh rank, if the prince acted like this, it would inevitably anger the rest of the court, and the prince's position would be in jeopardy.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Zhongqing finished speaking, the court immediately exploded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister thinks that Lord Zaifu is reasonable. His Royal Highness the Prince, think twice, you must not lose the big because of the small. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince......"

With a snap, Li Yunxing slammed the teacup on the table directly to the ground and shattered it.

Suddenly, the chaotic and noisy court was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

Everyone shut up one after another, for Li Yunxing, they were afraid in their hearts, but they were not afraid.
