Chapter 250: Diagonal Play
"The emperor has arrived! Ministers go to the temple! ”
With the loud singing of the attendants outside the door, the civil and military officials of Weiyang Palace flocked to the main hall one after another.
At this time, Emperor Qing was sitting on the dragon chair. The solemnity between his eyebrows showed his complicated mood at this time.
Although he looks a little sick on the outside, it is difficult to hide his spontaneous dragon power!
And standing on the lower steps not far from him was Prince Su, who had the most noble status in the dynasty.
He looked around at the court ministers who were constantly pouring in outside the hall, and although there was no expression on his face, he no longer showed a majesty that others could not offend.
But it is worth noting that the hands behind his back trembled slightly, just because the emperor told him a monstrous event before.
Just now, Emperor Qing asked Laifu to hurriedly summon Liu Yu, the prince of Su, to this Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, what is the so-called matter of summoning the old minister in such a hurry?"
Emperor Qing immediately asked Laifu to put the four princes' chapters into the hands of Prince Su.
Looking at the content of the recital, Prince Su's expression gradually lost control, and he suddenly scolded angrily.
"This bastard thing!"
Suddenly realized that his words were wrong, and after reacting, he hurriedly apologized to Emperor Qing who was seated.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for his rude sin!"
"But I have to say, this Qi'er doesn't know the depths too much, he has just made some military achievements, how can he make things like this, such crimes, even if he is the prince, he can't afford it!"
Emperor Qing sighed.
"Who said it wasn't, Qi'er didn't take the Huns too seriously, nearly 300,000 troops came to invade the border, this kid was actually unmoved, I regret it, I really should, after he put down the civil strife in the country of India, he should be called back."
Prince Su took a deep breath.
In the end, it was the old minister of the court, the person who had seen the wind and waves, and quickly calmed down his excited mood.
"Your Majesty, just say, what do you want the old minister to do?"
"Uncle Huang, the ministers of the court and the central government have already known this time, but after a long time, they will come back to this Weiyang Palace to meet them, according to what I think, they will definitely take this opportunity to abolish Qi'er's crown prince."
"The stakes are very high, and I can't be biased against Qi'er at this time, and now, the only person who can save Qi'er, I think about it, it's only you."
Prince Su was silent for a few seconds.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to use a dragon head staff?"
However, Emperor Qing shook his head.
"Uncle Huang, my method is like this......"
........
At this time, the ministers of the imperial court had gathered in the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
The soldier's squire was the first to stand up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a report that the Huns led an army of nearly 300,000 to my Daqing Beiping Pass. The Huns are menacing, and they are bound to fight to the death with me Daqing, and please ask Your Majesty to make a quick decision and send troops to support me to protect the peace of the northern border of Daqing! ”
This was unexpected by Emperor Qing.
In his mind, the first person who should stand up should be Yang Wenyuan, even if it is this soldier of the military department, he should immediately accuse the prince of the crime after the report.
However, no, not even in his words, not even the prince mentioned it.
Not only him, but the rest of Yang Wenyuan's party didn't seem to have the intention of standing up.
On the contrary, it was the minister of the court who did not belong to Yang Wenyuan's party who stood up at this time.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is now in the north, such a big event, nearly half a month has passed, my court has not received any news, and it is reported that after the prince knew about this, he did not take any action, such an inaction, isn't this in a dilemma for my Daqing?"
At this time, a military general also came out, still not a member of Yang Wenyuan's party.
"Your Majesty, the prince's behavior is clearly that he is afraid of the Hun army, and deliberately covers up the truth, such behavior has violated the law of my Daqing, and I also ask the emperor to send reinforcements as soon as possible, and punish the prince's secret for not informing the court!"
"The last will be the same!"
"Ministers are the same!"
Emperor Qing was surprised, and now several people who stood up and accused the prince didn't seem to have anything to do with Yang Wenyuan.
And while he was pondering, Yang Wenyuan finally stood up, but what he could say surprised Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, according to what the old minister sees, this matter has nothing to do with the crown prince at all!"
"Although the Xiongnu are menacing, but in the report, they did not say that they had attacked the border pass of Daqing, and the reason why the prince did not report it was only because the news was not accurate."
As soon as Yang Wenyuan's words fell, one of his comrades immediately stood up and echoed!
"Your Majesty, what Lord Yang said is very true!"
"For so many years, although the Huns have frequently invaded our Daqing border, it is just a plunder, and this is the first time that such a large-scale march has been made. If the Hun army really dares to move troops against our Daqing border pass, it is tantamount to declaring war on our Daqing. ”
"It's just a little Hun, does he have the guts? Wouldn't he be worried about my Daqing's revenge? ”
As soon as the official's words fell, Wenchen, who had impeached the crown prince, stood up.
"What Lord Liu said is wrong, but I don't know that the information is very clear, the prince has been ordering people to do humiliating behaviors against the Huns for several days, and even hung the cage on the city wall, threatening to lock Shan Yu inside, at the same time, at the Pingbei Pass, there was also a bunch of scarecrows, put them in Xiongnu clothes, and let the soldiers train every day."
"Just ask, who can endure such an act, today's Hun army is in trouble, all because of the prince's deliberate provocation!!"
When the words fell, another civil servant chimed in.
"That's right, the minister still remembers that it was written in the intelligence that the prince not only did not report to the court in time after learning that the Xiongnu had invaded the territory, but that's it, as Lord Yang said, maybe he was worried that the information was wrong, so I sent reinforcements to Daqing, wasting money and food in vain."
"However, for such an important matter, General Wood asked for orders and wanted to lead the army to Beiping Pass to investigate, just in case, but the prince actually ordered that no one should be allowed to go to Beiping Pass to support? Could it be that this is also a mistake in judgment? It is clear that the prince is arrogant, and after the victory in the country of India, he did not take the Huns in his eyes, and he even despised the lives of my Daqing people! ”
Who knows, Jia Siming stood up at this time, and his expression looked very excited.
"Presumptuous! How can the prince be what you can say! ”
"The prince only brought 30,000 soldiers, plus 10,000 soldiers and horses supported by Gan Yuzhou, and repelled the combined forces of the Xiongnu and Saruman.
"Also, what you said is contempt for the lives of the people of Daqing, it is even more nonsense, the Hun army dares to offend my Daqing, that is a declaration of war, it is a contempt for my Daqing, I don't believe it, he dared to do this in Ulan alone, if he has this mind, why didn't he do it before?"
At this point, the words began to come back again, and the side that impeached the prince still believed that the Xiongnu's attack this time was different from the past, because the prince deliberately insulted and angered them.
As for the fact that the information was not sent back, and there were no troops sent to Beiping Pass to hurry up to support, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand were all caused by the prince's negligence, and his behavior was enough to violate the law of Daqing.
For a while, the court was very noisy, and the ministers expressed their opinions, on the one hand, they persuaded the emperor to punish the prince, and on the other hand, Yang Wenyuan and his party defended the prince.
This is the first time this has happened.
Who didn't know before, Yang Wenyuan and his party were all targeting the crown prince, wanting to let him step down and assist the new prince to take the throne.
However, today's change of attitude is really a bit puzzling.
However, Emperor Qing, who was seated, was not a mediocre person, and he had already seen it very clearly.
The following ministers seem to be arguing with each other, but in fact they are just singing a diagonal show, and the real dominance is still in the hands of Yang Wenyuan.
"Enough! It's so noisy that my head is about to explode! The Xiongnu army came this time, whether it really wanted to offend my Daqing territory or not, according to what I thought, we should not take it lightly, although the prince was worried that the information was wrong, but this could not clear him of the charge of underestimating the enemy. ”
"Tell me, what do you all recommend?"
As soon as Emperor Qing's words fell, Yang Wenyuan flicked his sleeves and immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"What the old minister sees, at this time should indeed prepare reinforcements, at any time to Beiping Pass, at the same time, to determine the situation of Beiping Pass at this time, if it has been Fan I Daqing border pass, my reinforcements will not be too late."
"And the old minister believes that the prince cares about my people in Daqing, and he will definitely attach great importance to this emergency, and the reason why he did not send reinforcements to Beiping Pass must be his own considerations."
"The old minister dares to guarantee that the prince is not careless! If it really happened, the extreme situation, thinking about it, the prince would have already thought about how to deal with the strategy. ”
"The ministers seconded it!"
The strange thing is that after Yang Wenyuan finished speaking this time, there was no longer any different voice in the court.
Emperor Qing rubbed his fingers and glanced at the ministers in the audience, thinking about what everyone had just said.
"Lord Yang, I don't know what you said about the reinforcement generals, but there are any candidates?"
Yang Wenyuan shook his head.
"At present, the old minister has no idea, who is suitable to lead the troops."
Emperor Qing nodded.
"Oh, then, how about recommending one?"
.......
Just when the imperial court was discussing the invasion of the Xiongnu.
Pingcheng, official post.
Liu Qiyou leaned on the Taishi's chair.
"Your Highness, the army of the Huns has been stationed less than ten miles away from Beiping Pass, and now it has been three days, looking at their posture, and even taking out the siege equipment, it seems that they are really preparing to attack my Daqing Beiping Pass, are we really not doing anything?"
The corners of Liu Qi's mouth raised slightly.
"Yes, of course it did, didn't this king say it, it's business as usual."
Qin Wei was a little dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to persuade the prince.
If the Huns really start to break through, then the prince is a serious crime, and everything will be too late.
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhao Wenhui's voice coming from outside the house.
"Your Highness! There is a letter! ”
Liu Qi took a look, and immediately sat up straight from the Taishi chair, still chattering on his lips.
"Lu Liang has finally sent a letter!"
