You can hear the needle falling in the main hall!

What kind of goods are the eight major eunuchs in Tong Guan's mouth, and at least half of the ministers of civil and military affairs present know it.

Clear-eyed people know that this is Tong Guanming's attack on Cai Jing, to cut off his wings, so he almost didn't say anything, waiting for Cai Jing to react.

Many neutral civil and military forces are secretly funny, Liu Zhongwu even inadvertently grinned the corners of his mouth, almost laughing, he knows very well, those eight eunuchs are purely Cai Jing to find a number, it is difficult to fight a small soldier, what does it have to do with the four words of civil and military shuangquan?

The more Tong Guan praised the eight prisoners, the more he was hitting Cai Jing's old face!

It's a pity that even if Cai Jing is so angry that he bleeds, he can only hold back, these people were recommended by him before, and both civil and military are also what he said before, and now Tong Guan is taking advantage of this matter to carry out that group of waste, and he can only hold it back.

"Back to the saint, these eight people were recommended by the ministers, and all of them are both civil and military!"

After saying this, Cai Jing's thick face was also slightly hot, and the ministers who knew about it wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and endured it extremely hard, especially Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to Emperor Zhao Ji, he lowered his head almost instantly, and his shoulders kept shaking, obviously he couldn't hold it back.

At this time, Cai Jing's son Cai You stood up and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Tong Guogong's suggestion is very good!"

"The minister also thinks that it is the best policy!" Zheng Juzhong followed closely.

Obviously, the two of them clearly supported Tong Guan and intended to help make up for a few cuts.

Cai Jing didn't care about Zheng Juzhong, he looked straight at his own son Cai You, his hands were shaking with anger, and he couldn't say a word!

Seeing that things had come to this point, Zhao Bufan couldn't stand anymore and strode out of the queue suddenly.

"Qi Qi Sheng, kill chickens with a knife, the minister thinks that there is no need to work so hard, just transfer some troops from the Bazhou Liutun Forbidden Army, which is enough to quell the Liangshan Rebellion!"

"Oh, Zhao Xuanfu is so confident?"

Tong Guan turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Suppressing bandits is just a trivial matter, but if there are too many soldiers and horses on the Hebei East Road, once the Liao Kingdom takes the opportunity to kill the hinterland, you will have to take full responsibility!"

This is really so good that Zhao Bufan doesn't know how to refute it, but it is impossible to listen to Tong Guan's arrangement anyway, even if he thinks about it with his ass, he knows what kind of goods the soldiers in the mainland are, how can he take them to suppress the bandits, isn't this lighting a lantern in the toilet and looking for death?

He knew that he couldn't talk about Tong Guan in theory, so he chose to ignore it, and instead bowed to Emperor Zhao Ji and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also knows that the safety of the border pass is very important, so he will not transfer too many soldiers and horses, only 20,000 people are enough to quell the thieves, and such a force will not have much impact on the border defense of the northern frontier!"

"Joke!"

Tong Guan snorted coldly and rebuked unceremoniously: "The troops in the northern Xinjiang are sufficient? Then how can you in the northern region retreat to the Northern Wolf Village? Why do you only recapture the Sikou Pass? Why are the Waqiao Pass and Yijin Pass still in the hands of the Liao people? Zhao Xuanfu has such a big breath, why can't he come out with some results? Now he still wants to use the soldiers and horses of the Hebei East Road to cross the border to suppress the bandits, do you know that the Liao State is the biggest enemy? Isn't it a dereliction of duty to sacrifice the basics and chase the end in this way?"

As soon as these words came out, it really blew Zhao Bufan's lungs out.

Okay, you are a child, and the thief shouts to catch the thief? You don't know how the northern border pass was lost? If it weren't for you, a fool, colluding with the Liao State for your own interests, we would have lost so much? Now you have made it clear that you want to trap me to death, and you still have the face to reprimand, you deserve to be a eunuch, you deserve to be cut off from your grandchildren, it's really not a thing......

Scolding in his heart, the more Zhao Bufan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but laugh in an echo: "Lord Tong is in a high position, of course you can say it casually, anyway, we are responsible for death, and Lord Tong is responsible for promotion, otherwise it's not up to you to decide?"

Tong Guan was furious.

"Zhao Bufan, what do you mean by this!!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Bufan sneered: "What does Master Tong think?"

"Zhao Bufan, your soldiers in Northern Xinjiang are incompetent, you have lost your troops and lost your generals, and you have not been punished for your crimes, and you dare to openly insult me?" Tong Guan was angry and hurriedly continued: "Thanks to Your Majesty's attention, since I took charge of the army, I have been fighting in the east and west, and I have worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty and His Majesty, and I never dared to slack off, conquering Tibet, Western Xia, and Yuliao, and killing more enemies than you eat, you junior is just a little bit of a trick, what qualifications do you have to insult me?"

Zhao Bufan fell silent!

Even though he is resentful in his heart, when it comes to his military exploits, he is indeed far inferior to Tong Guan now, and there is really nothing he can do about him.

Cai Jing, who was next to him, saw that he was bored, and immediately took over the conversation.

"Heh! Lord Tong is really a big shelf now, and he dares to show his qualifications in front of the saint, when you were a junior, if it wasn't for the saint and the old minister, where would you come from today? Zhao Bufan's ability is obvious to all, if he was born twenty years early, what would you do?"

"You ......"

Tong Guan wanted to say more, but the emperor Zhao Ji on the dragon chair couldn't bear it anymore, so he angrily grabbed the many folds on the table and threw them down, making them all over the ground.

"What are you arguing about? On the occasion of this Spring Festival, you don't think about how to worry about me in the new year, but you are fighting here endlessly, do you want to be angry?"

Being in a high position all the year round, Zhao Ji also had a lot of imperial power when he was angry, forcing the ministers to kneel on the ground immediately.

"Holy Anger Relief!!"

"Humph!"

Zhao Ji slapped the table case heavily and looked at Tong Guan angrily.

"Zhao Bufan is a junior, and he has also made a lot of contributions to guarding the northern Xinjiang over the years, you are in charge of the Privy Council, you should have given more encouragement and encouragement, and tried your best to cultivate talents for the country, why are your words full of doubts and deterrence, and you deliberately provoke disputes? How did you become an official?

"The minister is guilty!"

Tong Guan hurriedly bowed down, not daring to say anything more, but his deeply buried face was full of resentment towards Zhao Bufan.

The angry emperor Zhao Ji then looked at Zhao Bufan again, and reprimanded him sharply: "You too, how can you be arrogant and arrogant at a young age, and you don't know how to respect? What kind of system do you make if you are sarcastic without any evidence? You are also a person who has read poetry and books, why haven't you learned the virtue of humility? Although Tong Guan's words are too heavy, but he has been fighting all year round, after all, he has rich experience, and his suggestions are not completely wrong, the soldiers and horses on the East Hebei Road are indeed not suitable for recklessness, let you requisition the troops of the eight surrounding military states to suppress bandits, what's wrong?"

What's more, Cai Jing also made it clear just now that these eight soldiers and horses are all capable of fighting well, and the generals are all both civil and military, why do you make such a big reaction? You are indeed talented, but should you also know how to listen to the opinions of others and learn more from your predecessors?"

Zhao Bufan was speechless when he said this, and he could only sigh silently in his heart.

From the perspective of Emperor Zhao Ji, these words are indeed true, ask yourself, if he is the emperor himself, I am afraid that he will also choose to transfer the troops around Kaifeng Mansion, and will not move the people and horses of Hebei East Road, but the problem is that everyone has their own angle and position at the moment, and some things cannot be said, which is already an irreconcilable contradiction.

What if you really take these eight eunuchs and lose the battle?

Since Tong Guan is going to plan and intends to get out of the Badu Prison, of course he won't have any good intentions!

At this moment, Zhao Bufan had no choice, and after a quick weighing, he gritted his teeth violently.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think that the Badu Prison is bad, but the minister is more familiar with the soldiers in the north after all, if His Majesty is really worried about the safety of the north Xinjiang, then the minister will only bring 5,000 people, and this point of strength will never have much impact on the north of Xinjiang!"

As soon as these words came out, the anger on Emperor Zhao Ji's face instantly dissipated, and it was completely replaced by consternation.

"Five thousand people? Is this true? This can't be said nonsense in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!"

Tong Guan, who was kneeling in front of him, was even more overjoyed, and suddenly turned back and asked.

"Zhao Bufan, do you dare to make a military order?"

It was good that he didn't speak, but this opening immediately caused the emperor to look at him angrily.

"You talk less!"

Tong Guan knew that Zhao Ji was really on fire, so he immediately buried his head again and kept silent.

Emperor Zhao Ji thought about it, and seemed to be worried about something, and hesitated for a while before he spoke and persuaded: "Extraordinary, your heart for the country is worthy of praise, but the military order is not necessary, as the old saying goes, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, so as not to lose your life for the sake of just bandits." It's understandable that you're young and vigorous, but don't gamble with your life, if you accidentally die in defeat, then I will be heartbroken, and I haven't forced you, I just want you to bring more soldiers and horses, why should you be persistent?"

These words are very caring, and speaking as the emperor can move his subordinates.

Zhao Bufan finally understood why he was sincerely respected by hundreds of civil and military officials.

Although he is not a wise man, he really has nothing to say about his subordinates, but whenever he enters his eyes, he really wants officials to give officials, and he wants money to give money, as long as he does not betray him, he will try his best to tolerate mistakes, especially afraid that his subordinates will have a bad life, and there is indeed a touching side, which makes people willing to get close to him.

It's a pity that the court is always an intricate place, the angle of being in it is different, the problems seen are completely different, Zhao Bufan can't explain it to the emperor at all, so naturally there are not many choices, and compared to the Badu Eunuch and the box soldiers under their command, Zhao Bufan would rather believe in his Liang Shan Army, so he quickly made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister swears here today, only bring 5,000 soldiers and horses from the north to fight the thief, and swear not to return it if he does not break Liangshan, but the minister also has a reluctant request, that is, I hope that the saint can give the minister a little guarantee, and ensure that during the period of the minister's suppression of bandits, the surrounding military states will definitely not drag down the minister's logistics supply!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Liu Zhongwu and Liu Yanqing and other generals in the army looked at each other even more, and wanted to open their mouths several times, but after all, due to the complicated situation, they never made a sound, and in the end they just shook their heads helplessly and sighed silently!

They lament that a famous general was persecuted at the beginning of his rise!

Emperor Zhao Ji was also obviously a little reluctant, looking at Zhao Bufan's eyes with a thick resentment, as if he was blaming him for not being so impulsive.

But now that the martial arts are gathered, the words have come to this point, so there is no joke, Emperor Zhao Ji looked at him deeply for a long time, and then suddenly stood up.

"Okay! Since you are completely sure, then I am ready! Liang Shicheng!!"

"The old slave is here!" Liang Shicheng hurriedly bowed forward.

"On behalf of me, I will pass on the decree to Yunzhou and the surrounding military states, Zhao Bufan During the suppression of bandits, the major military states must support unconditionally, and the logistics supply must be in place in a timely manner, but if there is any omission, no matter the size of the official rank, Zhao Bufan can be cut first and then played!"

"The old slave commands!" Liang Shicheng bowed down and responded.

"Okay, let's all disperse!" Emperor Zhao Ji looked a little irritable at this time, waved his hand, got up and left.

But as soon as he turned around and took a step, before the ministers could make a congratulatory sound, he suddenly turned around and stared at Zhao Bufan tightly.

"Zhao Bufan, you have to give me back alive, I can't bear to let you die!"

When the words fell, Emperor Zhao Ji didn't say anything more, and quickly walked away surrounded by eunuchs.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The court meeting ended with the congratulations of the ministers, and the ministers marched out of the hall in an orderly manner.

When they came to the outside of the hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs all dispersed, Zhao Bufan was in a heavy mood and was walking alone, but Tong Guan suddenly walked by with a big laugh. "Zhao Bufan, today's Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong, with no less than 30,000 soldiers, and even fierce generals such as Wang Huan, Zhou Ang, and Han Cunbao, I am waiting to see how your 5,000 soldiers and horses can exterminate Liangshan, you don't want to disappoint everyone! Hahaha......"

"Tong Guan!!"

Looking at Tong Guan's arrogant back, a cold light flashed in Zhao Bufan's eyes, and his fists crackled.

The old Cai Jing walked forward slowly and patted him on the shoulder. "Extraordinary, I wronged you this time, you didn't choose those eight prisoners right, they are all people I arranged to control the surroundings, although people are very obedient, but they really don't understand how to fight, Tong Guan let them go on the expedition is also the idea of cutting off my wings, this time we are a secret loss, I really didn't expect him to come to such a trick!"

Saying that, Cai Jing looked at his cold face and asked hesitantly, "Are you completely sure that you only bring five thousand people?"

"No!" Zhao Bufan simply spit out a sentence, which was also his truth.

Cai Jing was silent.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "You go home with peace of mind, today you didn't turn your back on me, you didn't screw the matter of the eight capital eunuchs, and took the risk alone, then I won't bear you, don't rush to the expedition, drag it out for a while, wait for me to quickly try to replace the eight capital prisons, and then find a few scapegoats for you, I can assure you, if you lose, someone will bear the blame, and if you win, you will receive the credit!"

"Eun-sang's kindness, but don't bother!"

Zhao Bufan shook his head firmly, looking at the blue sky in the distance and was stunned.

"Tong Guan forced me to make a choice with a trick, and I admit it, but in my opinion, this is also a test, if I can't even step on the bandits of Liangshan, what can I talk about rejuvenating the country and securing the country? If I accept the proposal today and choose to find a scapegoat, what is the difference between it and the wrong step Eun Xiang took when he was young? If I take a small step today, I will take a big step tomorrow!"

"I'm not going to be the next you!"

A breeze blew, lifting the hair of Zhao Bufan's sideburns and blowing away Cai Jing's murmuring voice.

"Young...... It's so nice......"
