Chapter 69: The Shroud of Lonely Loyalty-06
Zhang Zhiguan panicked for a while, and replied to Lu Yunhe with some hesitation: "This ...... This...... I...... I ......"
Lu Yunhe chased after him, not giving the panicked Zhang Zhiguan a chance to breathe, and asked with an imposing voice: "Well!? What are you? I'm asking if you send troops or not!"
Zhang Zhiguan turned his head to look at several other colleagues in a panic, but saw that they also turned their eyes away in a panic.
Lu Yunhe asked loudly again: "Answer me!"
Zhang Zhiguan was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after him, and under Lu Yunhe's aggressive prohibition, he nervously returned: "......Out! We ......"
Zhang Zhiguan's words came to his lips, but he suddenly reacted, he was just panicked by Lu Yunhe's bad account by the soldiers, and he was suddenly shocked by the menacing accountability, and he was almost taken advantage of by Lu Yunhe. But Zhang Zhiguan is also an old and cunning master, although he has already said the word "out", but he immediately added a timely afterword: "Our military department can order troops!"
Lu Yunhe smiled coldly when he heard this, and secretly thought in his heart: This is just a little interesting (Lu Yunhe is more than seventy years old) who is not confused (in his forties), but he reacted at the critical moment. No wonder the Zhang family will let him inherit the title of Duke of Zhongguo, and at the same time choose him as a representative to enter the imperial city of Taijing as a military squire, sure enough, there are two brushes.
Zhang Zhiguan continued with his "but": "But! You must make sure that the information in Xiguan is correct before you can send troops, otherwise you must not act rashly. The minister is bold, please ask Your Majesty to appoint the imperial history to go to Luoxian City for verification. If the information is correct, Weichen will immediately go to the army and rescue outside the gate!"
Lu Yunhe snorted coldly: "Hmph, Lord Zhang, even if you find out clearly, the veterans of Yuchuan City, I'm afraid they won't be saved, right?"
Zhang Zhiguan, who had stabilized his emotions, also immediately choked back: "If the Taishi is worried, he can order the existing border army in Xiguan to go out of the pass to save people first, and I can immediately let the Guannei domain army take over the border city defense one step later, so that I can kill two birds with one stone?"
"Hahaha!" Although Lu Yunhe seemed to be smiling heartily, there was a downright chill in this laughter.
Although Lu Yunhe smiled, he was extremely annoyed in his heart. This Zhang Zhiguan really wants to use the soldiers and horses of the feudal town to take over the border pass? Do your big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival! If Xiguan, one of the thresholds of the Great Xuan, is controlled by you, you will not be allowed to sit on the head of this Great Xuan Tianzi to and pee? Hmph, there is no door!
After laughing, Lu Yunhe continued: "The border pass city defense is naturally familiar with the border army, so don't bother the feudal army to do it for you, Zhongguo Gong should make preparations for the army as soon as possible, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”
Zhang Zhiguan naturally knew in his heart that even if Lu Yunhe was old and confused, it was impossible for him to agree to the feudal army to take over the border defense, and even if he agreed, he would not dare. Because Zhang Zhiguan still clearly remembers that the last Zhongguo Gong, that is, his father, warned on his deathbed: Don't take advantage of Taishi Lu Yunhe, there is a knife hidden in his sugar!
Zhang Zhiguan replied: "Why is the Taishi so forgetful, didn't I say it, it's okay to send troops, but you have to have the imperial history sent by Taijing to check it first!
Lu Yunhe knew that Zhang Zhiguan was pretending to be confused, and the border passes, from the army to the officials, were all directly under the descendants of the Great Xuan Tianzi, so it was impossible for them to deceive the emperor.
However, Lu Yunhe also felt a little strange, there was something wrong with Yu Xiuran, the assassin of Xiguan, and he suppressed the urgent report many times, if it wasn't for Zhao Xing, the general of the border army, who overstepped his authority, they were afraid that they would not know about it now.
Okay, it's time to take a step back, and it's just time to make a plan, and you have to check whether this Xiguan has reached into unclean hands and feet.
After Lu Yunhe made a decision, he suddenly eased his tone and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since the Duke of Zhongguo is so cautious, then please ask Your Majesty to send the imperial history to investigate." ”
The emperor looked at Lu Yunhe, but for some reason his teacher suddenly changed his tone, and he asked: "But, I'm afraid it's too late to save people!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister's words have not yet been finished. Lu Yunhe looked at Zhang Zhiguan and said: "Zhongguo Gong, the imperial history can naturally be sent, but your soldiers and horses must also be mobilized immediately, and immediately go to the neighboring towns on the rear line of Xiguan to station, and be on standby there at any time, so that you can go out in time." ”
Zhang Zhiguan didn't expect Lu Yunhe's hand, and was stunned all of a sudden: "Huh?"
Lu Yunhe said with some ridicule: "What's the matter? I asked you to be stationed first, and I didn't tell you to send troops out of the pass, you said that you were afraid of Dinu, but were you still afraid that the Daxuanbian army in Xiguan would beat your own people? What's the matter? Does Zhongguo Gong even have to guard against his own people?"
After being ridiculed by Lu Yunhe's accusation and scolding Huaidi, Zhang Zhiguan was so anxious that he immediately denied it: "The feudal army and the border army are all His Majesty's soldiers and horses!
Lu Yunhe didn't pay attention to what he said, but asked coldly: "Then Zhongguo Gong just agreed?"
Although Zhang Zhiguan didn't think about it like this, he didn't dare to say anything else. If you make excuses again, it will be equivalent to saying in front of the Son of Heaven that you are guarding against the border army, this black pot is too ruthless, and Zhang Zhiguan does not dare to carry it.
So Zhang Zhiguan half-knelt down, saluted the emperor and said, "Please decide everything, Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at Lu Yunhe and then understood, now as long as he selects a reliable imperial historian to go to Xiguan to check it, he can call the feudal soldiers to come out of the customs immediately to rescue.
The emperor's stiff face finally showed a smile, and he said to Zhang Zhiguan: "Okay! ”
Zhang Zhiguan maintained a half-kneeling posture and returned with his fists clenched: "The minister is here!"
"I order you to ...... from the six feudal domains" The emperor said this and quietly looked at Lu Yunhe, Lu Yunhe knew what the emperor wanted to know, he stretched out five fingers, signaling for Zhang Zhiguan to point out 50,000 soldiers and horses.
When the emperor saw it, he continued: "50,000 soldiers and horses and half a year's grain and grass will be pulled out to the west pass, and they will be stationed in the neighboring towns of Luoxian City in the border pass first, so that they can go out of the pass at any time." When today's court meeting is over, you will immediately go to the military headquarters to prepare, and you will order the selection of generals within today, and there must be no mistakes!"
After listening to this, Zhang Zhiguan knocked a song and replied loudly: "Minister, Zhang Zhiguan, the squire of the military department, has the order! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will issue an order within today." ”
"Okay!" Seeing that Zhang Zhiguan didn't cause any more trouble, the emperor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he went on to ask the ministers: "Now I still need to select an imperial historian to go to Xiguan for verification, which Aiqing is willing to go?"
After saying this, I saw Zhang Zhiguan turn his head and stare at the ministers present.
Wu Nai looked at it clearly, he couldn't believe that under the eyes of the Son of Heaven, this Zhiguan had such courage. The princes of these six feudatories, if they weren't pressed by Lu Yunhe, how far would they be able to their tails!?
The ministers looked at Zhang Zhiguan's fierce eyes, and half of them turned their heads, looking like they didn't care about themselves. Wu Nai could see that this group of people had an unclear relationship with Zhang Zhiguan, or with the feudal officials of the Six Domains.
The other half looked at each other, just silently put their heads down, not daring to come out to answer. Wu Nai also understood that they may not have much to do with the six feudatories, or they may not be able to do so, and there may be some who are unwilling to be together, but there is one thing in common, they dare not offend the six feudatories.
There were also a few who were a little angry, but they also lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. Wu Nai understood that the civil and military officials above the court may have a few hard bones, but they can be sandwiched by a group of soft bones, and they are also stared at by another group of black bones, even if Lu Yunhe is in town, they can only be cautious.
Wu Nai also understood one thing, the old fox...... Ah no, this Lu Xiangye, he is really powerful. He only relied on his own strength to control the entire unbalanced court. Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Zhiguan dared to overstep his authority in front of His Majesty and order to punish himself, but he didn't dare to say even a word to the emperor to blame Lu Yunhe, even if several of them had been fighting with Lu Yunhe, they didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Lu Yunhe's prestige and power are so high, it's really creepy when you think about it carefully.
At this moment, there was silence above the court, so quiet that you could hear the sound of people's breathing. The emperor's words were not dared for a long time, and he looked at this group of ministers, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Wu Nai was waiting to see how Lu Yunhe would make another move, but he heard Liu Bullying Frost behind him roaring angrily.
"Are you ministers all eating dry rice? What is the use of His Majesty the Emperor raising you? The people's daughter Liu is not talented, I would like to ask Ying to go to Xiguan!"
