Chapter 0028 - Insidious and Cunning
The emperor is sick, this time he is really sick, he is angry, his chest is tight and shortness of breath, the imperial doctor said that he is sick because of qi, everyone is comforting, the prince can kill 100,000 ghost people, and this will be fine in the ghost area.
The more the emperor listened, the more angry he became, and the more he listened, the more sick he became, and whoever persuaded him to leave.
Until Liu Gongjin came, he knelt in front of the emperor's bed and said, "Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body!" ”
The emperor wrapped a white cloth around his head, took the eunuch and palace maid away, tilted his head and glanced at him, and said: "There is more than enough success and more failure!" ”
Liu Gongjin kowtowed a few times in a row and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
The emperor said, "If you have something to say, you can say it." ”
"The slave thinks that the prince brought 10,000 people into the territory of the ghost side, maybe he really led the team to join the enemy? It's been so long, we haven't heard anything! ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he sat up straight, pulled his legs to the ground, and said in a cold tone: "What if he comes back?" ”
Liu Gongjin arched his hand and said: "We can send more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to find the prince!" Whether he can come back or not, isn't it up to us? No matter how powerful the prince is, he can't withstand the golden armor soldiers you trained secretly, and the first 100,000 royal forest troops were not left behind by the pieces of armor killed by your golden armor soldiers? ”
The emperor was immediately happy and said, "Liu Gongjin, drive out of the palace, I haven't been out for a few days, let's go out for a walk." ”
During this period, Prime Minister Yang Yi had already led his men to the field, the people took food as the sky, and during the autumn harvest, it rained continuously, and he was most worried about the harvest.
Yang Yi and several retainers were walking on the muddy land in the countryside, and when they saw a few people in a trance, they took a few steps forward and asked, "Fellow villagers, how are the crops this year?" I think it looks okay. ”
The common people let out a long sigh and said, "It looks okay, take a closer look, the ears of wheat have sprouts, and this year is all over!" ”
Yang Yi squatted down and pulled up a few ears of wheat, and sure enough, green shoots grew on the ears of wheat, and this is the case for most of the acres in an acre of field, heavy rain in the Central Plains, heavy rain in the southwest, and desolation in the northwest, only the harvest in the southeast is better, and it is difficult for the grain in the treasury to support the war in the west and north, what can I do this winter? !
Yang Yi was so sad that his hair was all white, the Wuyang Dynasty had a population of 80,000, how many people would have to die this winter?
The emperor's honor guard came in the distance, Xu Qilin, who was on the dragon chariot, saw Yang Yi's team and changed the route into the farmland, and the ministers and the people knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live!" ”
Emperor Xu Qilin asked everyone to get up and reply, and said: "After a long rain and a sunny day, the prime minister also has an elegant appearance!" ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister came out to see the people's fields, this year is a disaster year, as soon as winter comes, half of our Wuyang Dynasty is afraid that half of the people will suffer! Look at this grain, it grows, it sprouts, it is poisonous, and it can't be eaten! ”
The emperor came down from the dragon chariot, plucked a few ears of wheat, and frowned, and asked, "How much grain is left in the treasury?" ”
Yang Yi said: "If the world opens a warehouse to release grain, it can survive this disaster year, but there is absolutely no way to carry the war in the west and north." ”
The emperor's heart suddenly smiled, and he has been thinking about it recently, what reason does the Northeast Army have for not giving them food and grass salaries, and this matter in front of him is really a hard-won opportunity.
The emperor said: "Liu Gongjin, pass the order, today's lunch will be eaten here, let the three princes and Jiuqing come over, let Sima Xiang also come, the people are precious, and I can't let my people go hungry." ”
The feudal dynasty is advocating power, after the emperor's words, less than a quarter of an hour, a barracks was opened in the countryside, the three dukes and nine kings arrived at noon, here became a small court, and there was also the imperial dining room, the emperor would especially come to things, so that the imperial dining room left a lot of tribute rice for this village, and these grains were enough for them to eat for a year.
Long live the people, and the emperor looks like a good emperor who cherishes the people wherever he goes.
The emperor and the three dukes and nine secretaries put the dinner here, and the people were happy and peaceful, and the three dukes and nine secretaries were particularly satisfied with the emperor's actions, who knew that the emperor harbored evil intentions.
At the beginning, the emperor threw the problem to these ministers, "The Wuyang Dynasty has reached the most difficult time, there are wars in the northwest, and this year is another disaster year, the imminent thing is that the whole country is facing the problem of lack of food, the only way is to open a warehouse and release grain, and persist until next year, but in this way, the soldiers of the Northeast Army and the Western Army will have nothing to eat, what should I do?" ”
It's a real conundrum.
Immediately, the emperor threw out the second problem, and he said: "The prince has brought 10,000 horses into the ghost party, and it has been a while, and I am very sick, and now he has not returned, what do you say?" ”
These are really two problems.
Yang Yi thought for a long time and said: "There are really two difficult problems to solve, there are ways to solve them, it depends on how to choose, whether to choose the people, or to choose victory, whether to choose the prince, or to choose other soldiers." ”
The emperor looked at the prime minister and asked, "How do you choose the crown prince or other soldiers?" ”
Yang Yi said: "Li Panshan sent back the news that the ghost people on the southwest border had retreated on all fronts, and the Western Army had suffered 300,000 casualties. I don't know if this is done by the prince, but now it is true that the prince is trapped in the ghost realm, if he sends troops to find him, the soldiers are in danger, if he doesn't go, the prince is in danger, whose life is he chosen? ”
The emperor began to feel unhappy again when he heard this, the prime minister really didn't stand on his side, and until now, he is still sitting in the identity of the crown prince.
"The Ghost Fang area is the prince's own departure, which shows that he is sure, even if he can't come back and sacrifice, he will sacrifice his life for the country, and I can't exchange the lives of other people's children for my own children." After speaking, the emperor gave Liu Gongjin a look.
Liu Gongjin understood and said: "Your Majesty, this is not good, the prince is the foundation of the country, with the prince, the foundation of the country is stable, and the prince must not be thrown into the ghost side, Your Majesty, you must think about saving the prince!" ”
Tai Lieutenant Zhou Gongwei patted his thigh and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you have secretly trained 200,000 golden armor soldiers, and the purpose of training them at the beginning was to deal with the ghost people, and now it can come in handy." ”
The emperor felt comfortable, the problem on Xu Lin's side was solved, and the problem of the Northeast Army was solved.
Yang Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Northeast Army should defend dangerous places, not fight, reduce food consumption, and don't allocate military spending this year." If Your Majesty is not good to say, the old minister will say it! ”
Tai Lieutenant Zhou Gongwei got up suddenly and said, "Absolutely not, absolutely can't not afford not to give military expenses!" Your Majesty, if the Hu people in the north drive straight in, they will definitely kill more Wuyang people than they will starve to death, and soldiers are the weapons of the country, and it all depends on them! ”
The emperor fiddled with the food on the table and said, "The war between the north and the south, about thirty years have passed, right?" The old man of Nangong Zhan led a million Northeast Army and the Hu people in the north to fight and drive the Hu people thousands of miles away, can the Hu people come in in such a year? ”
Zhou Gongwei said eagerly: "Absolutely not, Your Majesty, the Northeast Army has no food, the million-strong army is muddy, and the Hu people's retaliatory attack is even more terrifying!" ”
The emperor said with a straight face: "Let my 80,000 people go hungry?" ”
Zhou Gongwei was speechless for a moment.
Yang Yi said: "The old minister thinks that what Taiwei said makes sense, can he only allocate half?" ”
Zhou Gongwei sighed and said, "For the army, half is equal to zero. ”
The emperor saw that the tone of the two ministers had changed, and said, "Prime Minister, you have to discuss this matter with the empress." ”
Yang Yi got up and took the order, and said, "The queen mother is a righteous person, so it should be easy to talk about." ”
Suddenly, the two major events were solved, and the emperor's depression in his heart was gone, "One person is short, ten people are long, our monarchs and ministers work together, many things can be solved, Prime Minister, go to the army, see if there is any other way to get food for the Northeast Army." The grain and grass of 200,000 gold-armored soldiers were handed over to the western military management. ”
Yang Yi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry! ”
The emperor smiled and said, "Come on, let's eat!" ”
The common people also ate together, eating the emperor's meal, maybe this is the same meal in this life, and I can't wait to eat it in one bite, and Sima Xiang is a little sad when he eats this meal on the side, and he has never eaten such a delicious thing made by the prince again.
Liu Gongjin was thinking, a companion is like a tiger, it's so insidious and cunning!
——
In the Southwest Theater, Zhao Daheng was almost killed, 500,000 against 200,000, and destroyed 100,000 people on the ghost side with the lives of 400,000 soldiers.
In fact, Li Panshan fought more difficult, because the ghost people saw Li Panshan's ability, and the ghost people did not fight with the Wuyang army at all, and they had to consume Li Panshan to death, Li Panshan had run out of oil and dried up, and at this moment, the ghost people retreated.
Li Panshan breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in trouble, and the Prime Minister and the Taiwei had already told him the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone deep into the territory of the Ghost Fang in order to lure these people back, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it, but the return of these more than 200,000 ghost people meant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had more than 200,000 opponents.
What can I do?
When Li Panshan was melancholy, 200,000 gold-armored soldiers came from afar, Li Panshan looked at this team of people, there were joys and sorrows, the joy was that the gold-armored soldiers quietly trained by His Majesty the Emperor were finally dispatched, and the sad thing was that he suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness the Prince had mentioned that the 100,000 royal forest soldiers were killed by a team of gold-armored soldiers.
Thinking of this, he was extremely frightened, looking at the posture of these 200,000 gold-armored soldiers, he was afraid that they were going to enter the ghost area, and when they entered the ghost side, would they want to save the prince or kill the prince?
Li Panshan wanted to go up to stop it, but the 200,000 soldiers, horses and birds didn't bird them, so they shuttled by, Li Panshan looked closer, focused on their commander, and he found that the leader's combat effectiveness was definitely at the top of the list.
Li Panshan didn't know what to do at all, his mind was very fast, now is not the time to worry about His Royal Highness the Prince, the establishment of the Western Army has been completely chaotic, and tens of millions of people on the southwest border have been displaced by the war, so we have to stabilize the people first, the enemy army has retreated, if the people rebel, it will be over.
Li Panshan muttered silently, "Prince, in the territory of the ghost side, everything needs to be careful......
