Chapter 181: The court discusses and raises troops

"Old minister Wen Zhong, see Your Majesty!" "Above the court, hundreds of officials are divided into civil and military columns, and the king of heaven, who has not been in the court for many days, is sitting on the dragon chair, and Wen Zhong is holding a double whip in his arms and saluting upwards below.

When the king saw Wen Zhong carrying a whip to the palace, his heart was cold. Before Emperor Yi died, he personally sealed Wen Zhong's double whip as the "forbidden whip", whether the king is mediocre or a vassal evil, Wen Zhong can ban this double whip, if there are obsessed and evil, you can whip it.

"The old lady is exempt. The king replied with a smile on his face, and hurriedly ordered left and right, "Come, give me a seat!"

On the side, the former official of the palace brought an embroidered dragon pier and placed it on the palace.

After Wen Zhong thanked him, he sat down steadily.

Wang Dong asked: "I don't know what the outcome of the Taishi's expedition to Beihai this time is?"

Wen Zhong arched his hand upwards and said: "The old minister was lucky to pacify Beihai, and Yuan Futong, the rebel, has been ambushed." ”

King Dayue, who wanted to please Wen Zhong, hurriedly said: "The Taishi has worked hard for the country to quell the rebellion, and he has worked hard to ...... reward."

"Your Majesty is slow!" Wen Zhong raised his hand to stop the king, and said in a deep voice, "This battle is won, your majesty will be blessed, and the soldiers will use their lives, even if the old minister has a small merit, it is not worth mentioning, put it aside for the time being, and it will not be too late to talk about it when the army returns to the court." Today, the old minister went to the palace, but there were a few things he wanted to ask His Majesty for advice in person. ”

Seeing that this old man did not enter the oil and salt, the king knew that he could not avoid this after all, so he had to accompany him and said carefully: "Taishi, please ask." ”

Wen Zhong said: "Old minister, may I ask Your Majesty, what crime did Jiang Niangniang of the Zhenggong commit? Why did His Majesty punish him by gouging out his eyes and burning his hands? What is the crime of Yin Jiao and Yin Hong?

The king was speechless, he didn't really take it as a stupid person, when Queen Jiang was tortured and resisted death. He already knew in his heart that the so-called Jiang Huan, who was secretly sent by Queen Jiang to assassinate, was actually falsely accused, and even vaguely guessed that Jiang Huan's back would probably involve his beloved concubine Daji. But at that time, it was already a tiger. If you want to return Queen Jiang's innocence, not only will she be ridiculed by the world. Daji is also difficult to preserve, so she has to be ruthless and make mistakes. As for the two sons of Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, they saw that they had a grudge in their hearts because of the death of Empress Jiang, and they would inevitably kill them in the future. These dark thoughts taught him how to make them clear?

Seeing that the king did not answer, Wen Zhong asked again: "The old minister asks His Majesty again, Shang Rong, Mei Bo, Zhao Qi, Jiang Huan Chu, E Chongyu, Yang Ren and others, and even the emperor's uncle Bigan, what crimes did these important ministers of the country commit?

Among the people mentioned by Wen Zhong, several ministers of the court were punished for their outspoken advice. The two princes were killed because of the suspicion of the king, especially the emperor's uncle Bigan was dissected in order to treat Daji's illness, and was stared at by Wen Zhong's burning eyes, and the king could not say these reasons anyway.

Wen Zhong became more and more angry the more he spoke, he stood up and took a few steps forward, and his voice gradually turned high-pitched: "The old minister asked Your Majesty again, set up a cannon to block the way, set up a basin and harm Gong'e, make a wine pond and meat forest and cause the inner servants to suffer, build a deer platform and cause the people to suffer, whose idea is these things?"

Wen Zhong's words made the king's face red and his ears red, and sweat rolled down his forehead. Got up from his seat and walked to His Highness, and waved to Wen Zhongchang: "Master doesn't need to ask again, I know that I am wrong!"

Wen Zhong turned sideways to avoid it, looked at the king who couldn't bow down, and said, "Your Majesty knows that you are wrong. I wonder if it's possible to change it?"

The king said honestly: "I should change my ways, please teach the master." ”

"Your Majesty has changed it if you have heard it, and the world is very fortunate!" Wen Zhong replied with disgust. stepped forward to help the king of Zhou, and personally sent him to the dragon chair to sit down. Then he took out a piece of music from his sleeve and presented it to the king. According to what His Majesty did, the old minister drafted a statement. All of them are things that need to be done immediately, and I respectfully invite you to take a look. ”

The king took the chapter with his own hands, and when he unfolded it, he saw a sincere admonition and a letter of advice, listing a total of ten strategies for demolishing the deer platform, abolishing the cannon branding, filling the pot, destroying the wine pond and meat forest, deposing Daji, opening the warehouse to help the people, visiting the relics, opening the way of speech, recruiting the southeast, and crusading against Li Jing.

When the King of Xuan reviewed the chapter, Wen Zhong did not retreat, but studied the ink and moistened the pen next to the dragon book case, and handed a purple bamboo wolf to the King of Zhou: "If there is no objection after reading it, please approve the implementation!"

Seeing that Wen Zhong was so aggressive, he almost lost the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and a trace of shame appeared in the eyes of the king. However, this time, he had already made up his mind to compromise, so he first gave instructions on eight of them, and then pointed to the remaining two: "The Taishi Chen Shice I approved the eight first, and only these two seem to be to be discussed." One is to demolish Lutai, in order to build this platform, it has cost countless money, food and people's power, if it is demolished now, it is a pity, if this article is slightly amended, the demolition is a ban, I promised the Taishi, from now on never to climb Lutai. I wonder what the Master thinks?"

Wen Zhong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay, it's just that Your Majesty must be true to your word, and you can't repeat it afterwards." ”

"You don't joke, Taishi can rest assured. The king agreed, and then said, "The second is to depose the queen of Su." Although I have done a lot of foolish things, but I have nothing to do with Daji, this woman has always been chaste and skillful, and she is by no means a first-class fox in the country, this point can be asked by the Taishi to the ministers. If the innocent dethrones it, it will be the same as ......" Speaking of this, he lowered his voice a little, "What is the difference between it and what happened to Empress Jiang?"

I have to say that after being ordered by Li Jing, the fox spirit did a far better job in confusing the king than in the original trajectory, although it made the heavens angry and resentful, but all the black cauldron was carried by the king of the ring, and he did not lose the slightest notoriety.

Wen Zhong also asked Huang Feihu about this Su Niangniang's personality, Huang Feihu is an upright gentleman, and naturally he will not frame a "good person" in vain, so he just told what he saw and heard truthfully, so in Wen Zhong's impression, this "Su Daji" is just a misguided country and red face that indulges the king because of his beauty, and has not yet reached the point of bringing disaster to the country and the people.

At this moment, seeing the king of Xu's repeated compromises, he said in his heart: "Although I am speaking out for the country, I have lost my dignity by making the king tremble so much. ”

Thinking of this, he no longer insisted, immediately took a few steps back, bowed down and said, "The old minister only wants to obey." ”

King Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes swept over the chapter again, and a plan suddenly came to his mind: "Taishi, I think that among the ten strategies, the crusade against Li Jing is the top priority. It's just that Li Jing bravely crowned the three armies, Shenxiao soldiers, looking at the Manchu generals, the only one who can defeat him is Taishi. It is said that the Taishi has just returned from the expedition, and I can't bear to work for you anymore, but if I send another general, I am afraid that it is not Li Jing's opponent. Master, are you ......?"

Wen Zhong had already planned, and he replied with his hand: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is unwilling to contribute to the country, but he is really tired and tired, and it is not difficult to drive." And although Li Jing is powerful, after all, he is only guarding a corner, and he has few soldiers. His Majesty only needs to send one general, and it is enough to control it if he leads more men and horses to overlord the outnumbered. ”

Knowing that Wen Zhong had probably seen through his intention to transfer him out of the court, the King of Xuan smiled slightly awkwardly and asked, "According to the opinion of the Taishi, who should lead the troops?"

Wen Zhong twisted his beard and smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "The old minister thinks that the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu is well versed in the art of war, the upper doctor Fei Zhong, and the middle doctor You Hao is resourceful, if Chonghou Hu is the commander, and Fei and You are the two people supervising the army, then Li Jing will be broken!"
