Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Frontier, Should Troops Be Sent (2)?

On the second day, the morning pilgrimage.

Yesterday's Dali ministers were shocked again today, General Yang Tie, who had not been in the court for a long time, actually went to the court today, everyone still remembers that the last time Yang Tie went to the court was on the day Emperor Baoding ascended the throne, and then, there was no then.

After an interval of 10 years, they actually saw the general again, and everyone was discussing in private: Is there another major incident happening today, maybe it is related to yesterday's incident? Is it going to implicate Gao Xiangguo?......

It's just that Gao Xiangguo continued to wander like yesterday, and the general closed his eyes and secretly breathed. It seems that all the talk has nothing to do with me.

"Bixia has arrived!" The little eunuch's voice made the Dali court, which was still as lively as buying vegetables in the vegetable market, instantly quiet.

"Greetings to Bixia" In addition to the general Yang Tie still kneeling on one knee, even Gao Xiangguo also knelt on both knees like the ministers. For no other reason, Yang Tie is still wearing armor today, which makes people wonder if he did it on purpose.

"All the Secretaries are flat"

"Xie Bixia"

To the surprise of the ministers, Emperor Baoding did not say anything about the life and death of the country this morning, nor did he continue to arrange other arrangements for yesterday's events.

As usual, the plain and flowing water is nothing more than which county or city has issued water, which mountain village needs to build roads, allocated money, and lent money. Then they dispersed, which made many ministers feel uncomfortable, just like a man who was about to throw a punch found that his fist hit the cotton, and it was easy to hold back internal injuries.

Just as everyone was walking out one after another, the little eunuch's voice made everyone realize in their hearts, "I see." ”

"Bixia has a purpose, and it is passed on to the king of the south of the town, the general, the Xiangguo, the military department Shangshu, and the household Shangshu to the imperial study. ”

After a stick of incense, the imperial study of Dali Palace.

Emperor Baoding said kindly: "Sit down, don't stand." ”

"Xie Bixia. ”

"I have some things I want to discuss with a few Aiqing. ”

The king of Zhennan and the general were silent, and Gao Xiangguo asked unyieldingly: "I don't know what Bixia commands?"

Emperor Baoding's flat voice revealed a kind of helplessness and self-blame: "Since my Duan ancestor Divine Wenwu Emperor established the country with martial arts, so that the Dali Kingdom was established so far, counting the days, more than 100 years have passed, and the territory of my Dali Kingdom has not grown an inch. Although the ancestors of the past generations have ensured that the people of Dali have lived and worked in peace and contentment for so many years in line with the principle of governing the world by virtue, I ...... I really have a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over. ”

Or Gao Xiangguo asked very cooperatively: "I don't know why Bixia is worried?"

Emperor Baoding suddenly changed his tone and said with pride: "I want to emulate my ancestors, open up my territory, and make my Dali country famous." ”

I have to say that although in addition to the general, several other people are speculating in their hearts whether what Emperor Baoding wants to say is related to the general, but this sentence still shocked several other people. Emperor Baoding, who has always been known for his generosity and benevolence, actually took the initiative to wage war against foreign countries and open up his territory.

Especially Gao Xiangguo, and Emperor Baoding have known each other since childhood, and it can be said that they have watched Emperor Baoding grow up, and today is like the first time I met Emperor Baoding, I looked at Emperor Baoding again with surprised eyes, and forgot to speak for a while. However, the king of Zhennan is relatively good, and he has long known that his imperial brother is actually a person with hills and valleys in his heart, but whether it is ancestral training or personality, he has forced Emperor Baoding to govern the country steadily.

The military department Shang Shumu stood up and said, "I don't know where Bixia Bingfeng wants to point?"

"Let General Yang explain this to you. Emperor Baoding calmly pushed the problem to Yang Tie.

So, Yang Tie roughly told the people present about the problem he told Emperor Baoding yesterday.

Zuihou, Yang Tie said excitedly: "Dali is weak, if you want to develop, you must wait for the opportunity." And this opportunity is rare for decades, I think, miss this opportunity, Dali Guo wants to make a move, I am afraid it is very difficult. Therefore, it is imperative to send troops. ”

Gao Xiangguo also eased up during this time, and after listening to Yang Tie's statement, Lord Xiangguo pointed out one of the important issues: "According to what the general said, this matter is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Dali country, and it is worth fighting." However, if our army just came out of the border pass, Tubo gave up attacking the Great Song Dynasty, and turned back to the army to entangle with our Dali army, and the Great Song Dynasty did not appreciate it, and when the time came, it was just to watch our army and Tubo fight, and did not support our country, wouldn't our country become a lonely army. Zuihou struggled, but it cost the people and money. Dali could not afford to drag on the war. ”

Gao Xiangguo still didn't say a word in his heart: his son had just gone to Tubo to marry a princess on the front foot, as a military bargaining chip to increase his Gao family, and he stabbed someone in the back with his back foot. Even if he really stabs him, Dali may be able to take advantage, and his Gao family will suffer a big loss.

If you want to say who doesn't want to fight the most, it's naturally the head of the household. It costs money to fight a war, and money comes from the household. No, as soon as Gao Xiangguo finished speaking, Li Yuanjin, the head of the household department, immediately stood up and continued: "Bixia, although since Bixia took power, the treasury has become increasingly full, and the people can warm their clothes and fill their stomachs, but the amount of grain stored is still not much. If a war breaks out, with the strength of Dali, I am afraid that the follow-up will be weak, which will affect the final outcome of the war. ”

The two of them opposed sending troops one after another, Emperor Baoding's expression did not move, and Yang Tie's face was a little gloomy and unsightly.

King Zhennan didn't speak, because he couldn't grasp the heart of Emperor Baoding, whether he sent troops was just a momentary mood, in order to deal with Yang Tie, or did he really have plans to open up the territory. secretly glanced at Emperor Baoding, and saw that Emperor Baoding nodded to him, so as the most loyal hardcore King of Zhennan, Emperor Baoding, knew it.

After coughing and attracting everyone's attention, King Zhennan said confidently: "This king thinks that it is feasible to send troops in this matter, not to mention the question of whether the Great Song Dynasty appreciates it, just being able to keep the Great Song Dynasty from losing the battle is equivalent to saving Dali." As for the question of the prolongation of the war. The king thought that the weather had begun to enter autumn, and that the alliance between Tubo and Western Xia to attack the Great Song Dynasty was to consider the problem of food after winter. Even if Tubo returns to China and entangles with my Dali soldiers and horses, it will definitely not be entangled for too long. When the two countries send troops, and then we send troops to Dali, it will take a month if it is fast, and two months if it is slow. Because the Tubo coalition army is composed of many tribes, when the time comes to consider the matter of their own tribes spending the winter, the people's hearts will definitely be scattered, and it will be easy to be divided and divided. ”

After a pause, seeing that everyone was listening attentively to what he was saying, King Zhennan continued with satisfaction: "What's more, there are many martial arts sects in my Dali country, including the Wuliang Sword Sect, the Shennong Gang, etc., although they are all just some small sects, but we lure them with profit and let them disguise themselves as foot merchants to kill people and set fire among the various tribes of the Tubo country, then the alliance between the various tribes of Tubo will inevitably fall apart." What kind of war is delayed, besides, these murders and arsons are just a cup of tea for their martial arts people. ”

It is true to say that the king of Zhennan traveled to the Central Plains when he was young and stayed incense everywhere and learned first-hand poetry and songs, but in the battles with various tribes in the Southern Wilderness over the years, he has really learned a lot and matured a lot. is about to enter the age of forty, coupled with his resolute face and full of Liliang physique, his whole person is full of infinite charm.

King Zhennan's personal martial arts may be a little worse, but the battle strategy is not much worse, especially compared to pure soldiers like General Yang Tie and Mu Qishangshu, King Zhennan can be regarded as half a martial arts person, and he knows more about those ways of martial arts than them.

After some words, Emperor Baoding was still there, and he was silent. General Yang Tie and Mu Qishang nodded repeatedly. The face of Li Yuanjin, the head of the household, not only has turned black, but also the elder of the pull, how can people who don't know think that they have learned the disguise technique of the rivers and lakes.

But Gao Xiangguo was silent, his face was cloudy, and he didn't know what was brewing.

Emperor Baoding took everyone's expressions into his eyes one by one, gently put down the teacup in his hand, picked up an unknown scroll on the desk, and greeted Gao Xiangguo: "Brother Shengtai, we often played together since we were children, and all the way to the present, even my ascension to the throne as emperor is thanks to your help." I often wonder if we could go back in time, if we could still secretly climb trees in the palace and catch a few goldfish in the small lotus pond together as we did when we were children. ”

Emperor Baoding looked at Gao Xiangguo's shocked eyes and continued: "I still remember that at that time, my father went to the early dynasty, and you took me and Zhengchun to sneak out of the palace to hunt in the mountains. Unfortunately, none of this can be done again. ”

After speaking, Emperor Baoding handed over the scroll in his hand to Gao Xiangguo, and said without any tone: "Zhengming has always remembered the goodness of Brother Shengtai, and he has never forgotten it for a day, even if he becomes the king of a country, all he wants is to govern the country with his eldest brother and Zhengchun." ”

As Gao Shengtai looked through the scrolls, his face gradually turned pale, and Emperor Baoding said without stopping: "Including how the people below sued Brother Shengtai, how the Xiangguo Mansion family bullied the market and violated national laws and regulations, I just pretended not to know." ”

Suddenly, Emperor Baoding's voice became angry: "But Xiangguo, you shouldn't have touched my prince Duan Xing, I am such a son, if you move him, it is equivalent to letting me Duan Zhengming cut off my grandson." If one day he really dies, as the king of a country, even if I do not hesitate to fight in the civil war in Dali, I will definitely make a break with you. ”

"Bixia Calm Anger" Mu Qi and Li Yuanjin, who were ministers, immediately knelt down.

Yang Tie didn't speak, and King Zhennan looked at Gao Xiangguo angrily.

As for Gao Xiangguo, as if he didn't hear Emperor Baoding's roar, he slowly closed the account book that recorded that since Gao Shengtai was promoted to Xiangguo, not only Gao Shengtai himself but also his family members did some things that violated national laws and regulations. There is no complete record in the book.,There can probably be seven or eighty percent.,But it's just seven or eighty percent of the things, and there are some things that even Gao Xiangguo himself doesn't know.。

With a long sigh, Gao Xiangguo slowly raised his gaze and looked at Emperor Baoding, and said: "Bixia, the old minister knows what you mean, you are actually worried about nothing else, but worried that the old minister will take the opportunity to make trouble when Dali uses troops abroad and the domestic army is empty." ”

Emperor Baoding stared at Gao Xiangguo's eyes, and said: "Xiangguo, since I ascended the throne, in order to repay you for helping me ascend the throne, I have entrusted you with all the power in the country. I already know your thoughts. I just hope that you can be satisfied with the power in your hands and not take a step beyond Zuihou, but I didn't expect that your appetite is too big. In that case, how about I make a bet with you?"
