Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 215 Sing and Harmony

"When did I not discuss with all my loves?"

The emperor interrupted this person and said, "A few days ago in the court hall, Lord Xiao and Lord Wang expressed their opinions, and I think they are all reasonable. After thinking twice, I feel that the Lord Taiping's merits outweigh his demerits after all, a small punishment and a big reprimand are enough. Yes. As for the military affairs planned this time, the military newspaper has clearly stated them one by one, and there is no need to go back to Beijing to go through this formality and delay things."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

Xiao Lu retorted, "This merit is merit, and demerit is demerit. How can we confuse it and make up for it? This is a felony enough to be beheaded by privately mobilizing troops to attack the country. How can you win a few small battles because of her, Yan Qing? Just lightly uncover it?"

The emperor, who had been quite pleasant just now, saw Xiao Lu come out to pick trouble again, his face immediately pulled down, and asked in displeasure: "Then Xiao Aiqing thinks, I should deal with Yan Qing like this? Cut off her head to judge the crime, and then posthumously Can't you talk about rewards?"

"According to the law, Yan Qing deserves ten thousand deaths for his crime."

Xiao Lu said this with the murderous eyes of the emperor, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the words on his lips changed again, "But after all, Yan Qing has made great achievements in this matter. If he is sentenced to death, he may cause trouble People all over the world criticize him. It's just that he has committed such a serious crime, even if he has meritorious deeds and can avoid the death penalty, he must not let it go so lightly."

"I implore my lord to remove Yanqing from the post of defense envoy of the three northern regions of Jingmo, deprive him of his status as the county lord and his fief, and move to the northern region. Without an edict, he is not allowed to enter the capital again."

Xiao Lu made a big obeisance to him, and he realized that he was kind enough to say, "Yan Qing originally met Ding You, so he should be dismissed and return home to observe his filial piety. Now that the old general Qin is old, Yan Qing moved to the north with his mother, and it can be regarded as a family reunion, let him be loyal to the country. For most of his life, the old General Qin can enjoy family happiness."

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

As soon as Xiao Lu said this, many courtiers immediately agreed.

The emperor stared at Xiao Lu coldly, unable to refute.

This old thief Xiao has learned to be smart, and he knows that he can't really do anything to Yan Qing by talking about Yan Qing's private transfer of troops.

But if the matter of filial piety is involved, and Yan Qing's fault this time, it is not difficult to get rid of Yan Qing's power.

It seems that in order to fully control the power in Beijiang, Guo Youning gave this old thief Xiao a bad advantage, which is why he made him work so hard to take over Yan Qing's power.

The emperor remained silent with cold eyes, as if he was finally stumped by Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu's hanging heart also relaxed a little.

Although he failed to force the emperor to kill Yan Qing, as long as Yan Qing's authority was given, it could be regarded as fulfilling what the lord told him to do.

Just when Xiao Lu felt that the matter was settled, he caught a glimpse of a familiar person standing out from the corner of his eye, and felt bad in his heart.

"At this time, the border is in constant chaos, foreign enemies frequently invade the border, and the domestic defenders who are worthy of reuse have lost countless battles in the war, and there are not many who can be employed, and the newly promoted generals are inexperienced. How can Ding You keep his filial piety and let the general use it?"

Liu Xiyuan bowed to the emperor, turned his head slightly and said to Xiao Lu, "Ding You's resignation from office and filial piety is to commemorate the deceased. Knowing that General Yan disregarded the border wars because of his filial piety, I'm afraid it's hard to feel at ease."

As he spoke, Liu Xiyuan glanced at the high-ranking emperor out of the corner of his eye, then turned back, and said to the emperor, "As for General Yan's private deployment of troops without order to attack the Qiang Kingdom... I remember that the Holy Majesty appointed Yan When the general was the defense envoy of the three northern regions of Jingmo, he once gave General Yan a sword to defend the sword, and the quasi-general cut it first and then played it. I don’t know the Holy One, but do you still remember this incident?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and pretended to ponder: "I seem to have approved General Yan's decision to cut first and then play with the sword."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lu's expression became as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, and he stared at Liu Xiyuan.

he remember?
I haven't heard anything about this matter, so it can be seen that it was the emperor's private decision, and it was never made public in the court.

When the emperor ordered Yanqing to be the defense envoy of the three northern regions of Jingmo, this kid hadn't participated in the Chunwei scientific examination and entered the court hall.

How could he know something that the imperial censor, who had been in the court for so many years, didn't know?

He heard that the emperor asked this kid to enter the palace to discuss matters.

Today's matter, I'm afraid it's the emperor and Liu Xiyuan singing double reeds, playing with the civil and military affairs of the court!

Xiao Lu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and opened his mouth to ask why the emperor didn't discuss such a big matter with the officials.

But Liu Xiyuan didn't intend to give him a chance to speak at all, and almost as soon as the emperor finished speaking, he continued: "On the battlefield, the military situation changes in the blink of an eye. Fighting after discussion may delay the opportunity of the war.”

"There is an old saying that when a general is outside, the emperor's order is not acceptable. A general who is fighting abroad should have the right to make independent decisions on major issues. Only in this way can he not miss the opportunity to avoid greater losses, so as to control the enemy and win."

Liu Xiyuan talked to Xiao Lu meaningfully, as if Xiao Lu was a stick with no knowledge of military affairs, so he deliberately explained to him.

Xiao Lu was stunned again.

Thinking that he has been an official in this court for half his life, when will it be the turn of a yellow-haired boy who has just entered the court to teach him a lesson?

He wanted to reprimand Liu Xiyuan for not pushing his nose in the face, but after Liu Xiyuan said this, he turned his face and praised the emperor, "The Holy Majesty knows that the battle situation at the border is uncertain, so he and General Yan Yujian Shangfang, Xu Qi cut first and then played The power. In fact, it is a rainy day, a generation of Mingjun."

Now, even if Xiao Lu wanted to scold someone, for the sake of the emperor, he had no choice but to bear it.

Everyone in the hall whispered.

Seeing that Xiao Lu was blocked again, he was still going farther and farther on the road of offending the emperor. The ministers who had come out to agree with Xiao Lu before became dumb again, and even took advantage of the emperor's anger because of Liu Xiyuan. When Xiao Lu was praised again and his face turned pale, he secretly moved back to his position and used it as a wooden stake.

Seeing the group of grasshoppers abandoning Xiao Lu so resolutely, the emperor felt sarcasm in his heart, but at the same time couldn't help being sad and grateful.

Above the court, there are conflicts of interest and the most indifferent human relations. Only by following the wind and judging the situation can we survive on this battlefield without gunpowder smoke.

But it was precisely because of this that he was able to stir up trouble in it, so as not to become a puppet whose power was completely emptied.

"What Liu Aiqing said is absolutely true."

The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at Liu Xiyuan with admiration, and said, "In this way, General Yan should have no merit..."

"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks that even though the head of Taiping County holds the imperial sword Shang Fang and has the right to cut first and then attack the Qiang country, it is still inappropriate for him to attack the Qiang country without order.

Before the emperor finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Xu Xiangfeng, who immediately looked over with dissatisfaction.

Where did this old fox sing?
