Chapter 109: The Emperor's Decision
To this day, the Emperor is still proud of his wise decision.
The original military department secretary has resigned by himself, and the current military department secretary is the original military department Zuo Shilang. It's a member of the original grandson's family.
As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest of bears.
The original military department Shangshu was a coward, how could the people who brought it out be so angry?
Before, the emperor thought that if he raised this goods, this goods would be grateful to him and would support his decision!
Unexpectedly, this product was more cowardly than the original military department Shangshu, and as soon as this problem came, he persuaded the emperor to negotiate peace with the barbarians. Angry with the emperor.
Now as long as he sees this goods, the emperor is angry, if it weren't for the fact that those poor scholars didn't grow up so fast, and no one used them for the time being, he would have removed him a long time ago.
Hum!
Do you all think that when I am old, I will not dare to fight? Hmph, it turns out that I am still the Yan Emperor who can fight and dare to fight.
I still remember how strong the Yan Kingdom was in the past, just because the emperor is getting older and older, the land of the Yan Kingdom is getting more and more, and the national strength is getting weaker and weaker.
You don't see it, even the barbarians dare to attack their city, and ask them to pay compensation for the land cessed by the Yan Kingdom.
As the emperor of Yan got older and older, there were more and more countries that dared to bully him.
It's a pity that the emperor is old in the Yan Kingdom. For a long time, every war must be lost, and once defeated, it is necessary to cede land and pay compensation for peace. Emperor Yan had been holding this breath in his heart for too long.
This time, Wang Yujie gave him this bad breath. It made him feel radiant, as if he had suddenly become 10 years younger.
Talking to those ministers who disagree with his opinion is much more confident.
It's just that the atmosphere of this morning is too weird.
Almost every minister knew the emperor's attitude towards the invasion of other countries. That's one word: hit.
But this morning, news came that the barbarians and the island country seemed to have reached an agreement to take action against their Yan country at the same time.
In this situation, if the emperor still insists on fighting, it will be a big trouble.
This news has not yet been sent to the palace by the Ministry of War. The emperor doesn't know it for the time being, and he is still complacent about the victory more than ten years ago!
In this case, who will stand up for this first?
All the officials looked at each other, and in the end, they all looked at the military department.
The military department is helpless, this is his duty, so he can only stand up and say:
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to tell you bad news. The affairs of the barbarians, because of Wang Yujie's involvement, the relationship with the barbarians became worse and worse.
In the early hours of this morning, the Ministry of War received news that the barbarians and the island country had reached an agreement to join forces and start a war against our Yan State at the same time. Whether it is war or peace, please ask the emperor to decide. β
"What?"
The emperor was so shocked that he stood up directly from the throne.
The two countries joined forces and fought on two fronts. In the face of this situation, the slightest carelessness is the consequence of the destruction of the country. Can he not be shocked and panicked?
Now that Wang Yujie is not here, those trusted generals all have the same temper, that is, fighting. Asking them is certainly not a no-no.
Now, the emperor can only helplessly ask for the opinions of these civil officials.
The emperor sighed, not wanting to look at the military department, sat down and looked at the others and asked:
"The barbarian and the island country are overwhelmed by the two armies, what is Zhong Aiqing's opinion on this issue?"
The military department has not yet returned to the column, so he simply answered:
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang Yujie has caused a big disaster for our Yan Kingdom. Please ask the emperor to call him back, convict him, and use him to extinguish the anger of the barbarians, only by making a truce with the barbarians, will our Yan Kingdom have hope!"
If Wang Yujie was present at this time, he would definitely regret very much that he had brought down the former military department Shangshu, let this hateful white-eyed wolf take the position, and harm himself by coveting and talking about himself here.
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately furious, slapped the table and said:
"Bastard, Wang Yujie is now the great hero of our Yan Kingdom, how can you, as the secretary of the military department of our Yan Kingdom, say such things. β
Some military attachΓ©s also came out angrily and scolded:
"It's nonsense, in this way, who of us generals dare to go to the battlefield to make war exploits?"
"That's right, we are fighting for life and death outside, and after making meritorious contributions, we will be called back and persecuted. What's the point?"
"Well, you civilians who enjoy peace at home, can erase the credit of our desperate efforts with a single word. It's chilling. The emperor, a person like Lord Sun is not qualified for the post of secretary of the military department at all, so please ask the emperor to appoint another meritocrat. β
The generals stood up one by one with righteous indignation and yelled, so that those civil officials did not dare to stand up and speak.
They are literati, and literati must have the character of Wenrao, and the literati must have the quality of Wenrao.
If you stand up and scold these barbarians who don't know a lot of big words?
And these generals are not talking for Wang Yujie, as a general, they just don't want to see this kind of thing happen.
Wang Yujie is a prince who is in this situation, so what about these generals?
As soon as these generals joined, all of a sudden, there was a lot of quarrel in the court.
The emperor slapped the case and said angrily:
"Silence, shut up. The armies of the two countries are pressing the border, can't you give a useful suggestion except arguing here?"
The civil and military officials were silent.
The military attache was humming and unconvinced, but the civil officials all looked at Prime Minister Zuo.
The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and at this moment, his words have the most weight.
Feeling the pleading eyes of the civil officials, Prime Minister Zuo reluctantly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, according to our country's current national strength, the two-front battle will undoubtedly be defeated. Therefore, the old minister agreed with the suggestion of the military department. Pacify the barbarians first, and then think long-term after defeating the island nation. β
Prime Minister Zuo is much more artistic, although he didn't call Wang Yujie back to ask for the crime, but it is obvious that this is what he meant.
If he is like this, those generals can't attack him, but if they attack him, he won't mean that.
But if no one comes forward and continues to talk about it in this sense, there is a chance that this will be the result.
The emperor had a headache, and a burst of sadness and happiness swelled up in his heart
In the court of the dignified Great Yan Kingdom, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military. But he couldn't give a suggestion that satisfied him.
Seeing that the emperor was hesitating, Prime Minister Zuo immediately gave those civil officials a look.
Suddenly, dozens of civil officials fell to their knees together and said loudly:
"The minister is deliberating. β
Then, the military department knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of Yan Kingdom, for our Yan Kingdom to survive this crisis. Please ask the emperor to make a decision immediately. Otherwise, once the war at the border passes starts, it will be too difficult to make amends. β
Prime Minister Zuo also knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. Once the war breaks out at the border pass, it is not something we can control.
At that time, the people of our Yan Kingdom will be displaced, and their lives will be ruined! Your Majesty, all the people of Yan Kingdom are watching you! Hurry up and decide!"
The emperor's heart suddenly sounded, as if he had suddenly been awakened, he made a decision here to make a holy decree, and it would take several hours before he could reach the border pass. If he doesn't make a decision quickly, it will really be too late then.
Sighing, the emperor said helplessly:
"Spread my will, and order Wang Yujie and all his soldiers to return to the court as soon as possible from the date of receipt of the holy decree. All the front-line battles were handled by General Wanliyan. β
