"Everyone Ai Qing is not afraid that Xia Guo will really encroach on the Chu State and deal with Daqin in turn? Many people present should remember that the first prince who conspired against the rebellion was the only prince of the first emperor of the Xia Kingdom, although it is an ironclad fact that the first prince was disobedient, but if they think that the first prince died unjustly, and use this as an excuse to start a war, what should we do?
After the emperor looked at them uncertainly for a long time, he suddenly took the initiative to mention the matter of the first prince, most of the people present were old ministers, and they were extremely impressed by the prince who was named the East Palace as soon as he was born, and even many people were suspicious of the original matter, feeling that if the first prince did not die, Daqin would definitely be a different scene, no matter which faction the people were, they had to admit that the first prince was indeed a rare imperial talent in a hundred years, and he loved the people benevolently, He has great respect for his courtiers, and he will never suspect anyone for no reason, there were really many people who followed him back then, but it's a pity ...
No one noticed that the pain and hatred that flashed under Pei Yuan's eyes, wasn't it him and the Empress Dowager Xiandi who killed his father, Wang Wang, and Concubine? Now he is even embarrassed to take it out and say in public that one day, he will use his and the demon queen's head to sacrifice his father, king, father and concubine, and then dig up the body of the emperor and throw it in the flames to crush the ashes!
Keenly aware of the subtle changes in his emotions, Shen Da, who was sitting next to him, quietly pulled his robe, wordlessly reminding him not to show his stuffing at this time, Pei Yuanxian is not a person who is not good at managing his emotions, but at first hearing that the emperor was so shameless, the hatred in his heart was uneasy, and soon returned to normal.
"Your Majesty means to raise troops?"
Sitting at the front of the left, Wei Zehang, who also did not seconded with those ministers, asked in a condensed voice, those who dared to ask like this were probably no one except him, Pei Yuanxian dared, but he would not necessarily ask, because he was not in the army, and the emperor came to him today, it is estimated that it is only because he has military power in his hands, or it may be because of some other deeper reason.
"That's exactly what I mean."
Even if he was afraid of the Wei family, the emperor could not lose his imperial dignity on such an occasion, and his eyes did not shy away from Wei Zehang.
"I wonder what His Majesty is going to use to fight? And who to send? Daqin has been fighting for years, the national treasury is already empty, and this year it has suffered from floods, refugees everywhere, and the people are already living in poverty, could it be that His Majesty still wants to pump out the grain for disaster relief as military food in the early stage? The soldiers are also ordinary people, and many of their parents and relatives may be affected, so how do you let them fight? In the past, I waited for the town to guard the border, even if the food and grass were not continued, the hungry would defend the integrity of the country, but now His Majesty is not to defend the country, but to invade others, or to help the Chu State that has been harassing my northwest border for several years to fight against the Xia Kingdom, just because of a speculation of His Majesty, doesn't His Majesty feel that he is too much and does not take the people too seriously?
"Touch!"
"Wei Zehang!"
Wei Zehang can not be described as not polite at all, the emperor is so angry that he shoots up, his eyes are wide as if he wants to eat people alive, since ancient times, many Ming monarchs may not be able to listen to all advice, let alone the emperor today? Although Wei Zehang did not say it explicitly, his words were clearly scolding him for being incompetent and impoverishing!
Many people shrunk their necks in fright and did not dare to raise their heads, but Wei Zehang suddenly stood up and hugged his fists and bowed: "Please ask Your Majesty to take back your life!" The deliberately raised voice was deafening, throwing the ground, the martial generals present did not secretly give a thumbs up, Wei Zehang was indeed unceremonious, but which sentence he said did not make sense? The emperor wants to raise troops, they have no opinion, but reality does not allow it at all, but he has to act arbitrarily, and it is not only the people who are harmed? Once it arouses public indignation, Daqin Jiangshan is afraid that it will be ruined.
"The minister seconded!"
Shen Dafufu and the two looked at each other, both stood up and hugged their fists and bowed, while Ling Wei gritted his teeth and got up and said, "Your Majesty, what General Wei said is reasonable, and the minister seconded!"
"The minister seconded!"
With them taking the lead, those ministers who really have the world in mind all stood up, and the rest were almost all the henchmen of the princes, and it was impossible for them to express their position casually without the princes expressing their position, and there was also a person who did not second, that is, Pei Yuanxian, although he controlled the military power, but did not enter the army, there was no need to make fun on this occasion.
"You, you... Ahem..."
"Your Majesty!"
The emperor did not expect that the Wei family's appeal among the martial generals was still so strong, his fingers pointed back and forth at them like chicken claws, and before he could say anything, he couldn't help but cough violently, Yang An, who was waiting on the side, immediately stepped forward, and the princes also rushed up to express their filial piety.
"A good General Wei, if the Xia Kingdom grows stronger day by day, if he really attacks Daqin in turn, what should General Wei say?"
After pouring two mouthfuls of ginseng tea, the emperor, who finally stopped coughing, covered his chest and glared at Wei Zehang fiercely.
Is he going to dump the responsibility on the Wei family?
Everyone present heard what he meant, it was a fact that Xia Guo had a grudge with Daqin, if they were strong, it was foreseeable that they would stand on the opposite side of Daqin, but just because Wei Zehang honestly stopped him from raising troops, he pushed all possible problems to him, which was a little brazen, and many people frowned because of this, especially those martial generals, whether the Wei family was in the imperial city or not, they would always be the leaders of the military family.
"Since the emperor wants to go his own way, the minister has nothing to say, but the minister still has to remind His Majesty that if it causes the anger of the people and forces the people to rebel, my Wei family will not send a soldier to suppress the people, this time is the same, the emperor wants to use troops, as long as it is surnamed Wei, he will also refuse to fight."
Who does Xia Guo's grudge come from?
It is impossible for the Wei family to carry the pot for him, and Wei Zehang's attitude cannot be described as not tough.
"You?!"
The emperor was so angry that his eyes were cracked, was there still him this emperor under his eyes?
"King Ben can't fight or something, it seems that there is nothing to do with King Ben, Emperor, why don't you let me leave first?"
Pei Yuanxi, who had not spoken for a long time, stretched his waist and stood up, and the emperor became even more angry when he saw this: "Yuanxi, your iron-armored guard has been cultivating for many years, shouldn't you strike hard at this time?"
It turned out that his purpose was here.
Hearing this, everyone knew that the emperor was not stupid, he knew the current situation of Daqin, so he hit the idea on the iron-armored guard who had been recuperating for many years, in the past, King Qingping could not only feed them, but also did not need him to prepare food and grass for them in battle, and at the same time prevented him from marrying Shen Liang, it was simply a swoop.
Such a shameless method, he could think of it, but how could Pei Yuanxian do what he wanted?
"Uncle can really laugh, didn't you forget that I have blood in my body, and it is impossible to go to the battlefield?"
A touch of mockery quickly slipped under his eyes, and Pei Yuanxian said with a smile, insulting his parents and wanting him to send troops? Daydream!
After looking at him deeply for a long time, the emperor said gloomyly: "Then you will hand over the iron-armored guard, and you can send other generals to fight." The words fell, the entire imperial study room was silent, who didn't know that the iron-armored guard only listened to the orders of the previous Qingping kings? The royal family of Daqin no longer paid them military salaries separately several generations ago, and he was actually kind enough to let the family hand over the military power? Not to mention the ministers, even those princes felt that this move was too unreliable.
"Okay."
Unexpectedly, after a short silence, Pei Yuanxian actually took out a piece of the black tiger talisman and threw it over.
"Touch!"
"Uncle can give it to whomever he loves。
The tiger talisman dullly smashed on the dragon case, and at the same time sounded Pei Yuanxi's voice that did not care, including the emperor, everyone couldn't help but be a little confused, only to come back after a moment, other army movements do need tiger talismans, but iron-armored guards are not necessarily, even if they hold tiger talismans, without the order of King Qingping, no one can mobilize them, so, he doesn't care who the tiger talisman falls into, what's more, He can abolish this tiger talisman as soon as he goes back.
"Is Uncle all right? It's okay, I'll go first, and there are a lot of things waiting for me to worry about at the wedding. Saying that, no matter how the emperor reacted, Pei Yuanxian really turned around and left, everyone sweated wildly, even if the emperor provoked him, King Qingping was too unruly.
"!"
The emperor himself was even more angry in his whole body, but when he aimed at the tiger talisman, his eyes couldn't help but flash, silently signaling Yang An to put it away, seeing this, the generals all sighed in their hearts, the emperor is really more and more unorganized, making them more and more cold.
"I wonder which Ai Qing is willing to be the commander?"
I don't know how long it took, the emperor's anger subsided, and just when everyone thought that this matter would be over, the emperor jumped directly to the marshal, ignoring the opposition of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, now the treasury is empty, the people are not living, and it is not suitable to raise soldiers!"
Elder Xie Ge said and knelt down and crawled on the ground, and Elder Zhao Ge followed closely behind: "What Elder Xie Ge said is reasonable, Your Majesty must not use military force, my Daqin can't withstand the chaos of war."
Now in this form, it is good that others do not infringe on them, why does he have to send troops? Even if the Xia Kingdom is strong, it is possible to target Daqin, it will not be so! Could it be that the death of the first prince really had something else? That's why he was afraid that Xia Guo would become strong and stop it at all costs?
"Your Majesty think twice!"
One by one, the ministers all knelt down, including Wei Zehang and Shen Dafufu.
"Father... Can it not fight? All the princes did not want to offend him, and did not dare to echo the ministers, only the third prince Qin Yunyi asked carefully, even he knew that it was not suitable to raise troops now, the northwest was finally calm, the disaster had just passed, and the people needed to rest.
"Shut up!"
The emperor drank sharply, always afraid that his third prince could not help shrinking his neck, bowed his head and retreated to the side, Ling Wei, who knelt below, sighed helplessly, the third prince is a good one, but unfortunately, his heart is not in state affairs, several other princes, alas...
"The Wei family is not willing to be in command, so what about Shen Aiqing and Huo Aiqing? Would you like to? The emperor only wanted to destroy the plan of the Xia Kingdom, and he didn't care how many people stopped it, he simply named them one by one, Shen Dafufu looked at each other, and Huo Yelin raised his head and said: "The emperor forgives sins, the two ministers and husbands, can't hang this handsome!"
"Good, good..."
The emperor, who had long expected it, smiled angrily, and his gaze turned to Ling Weize: "General Ling of Xuan, what about you?"
"Your Majesty forgives!"
Ling Wei bowed his head deeply, and did not explicitly say refusal, but the meaning was already obvious.
"General Wu..."
Next, the emperor really asked one by one, looking like he had to find someone to be a commander, Wei Zehang couldn't see it, suddenly got up, and raised his head to meet everyone's puzzled eyes: "Your Majesty really ignores the dissuasion of hundreds of officials, must raise a military chaos?"
"Yes and how?"
The emperor was also iron-hearted, and his eyes were full of gloom and persistence.
"That minister can only return to his father and let him ask for the Holy Ancestor Emperor's edict!"
Facing his gloomy eyes, Wei Zehang did not back down a step.
The last edict of the Holy Ancestor Emperor?!
Is there really such a thing?
When the words fell, everyone was shocked, even the emperor's eyes widened, it was rumored that the Holy Ancestor Emperor trusted the Wei family very much, and even thought of ceding the throne to the descendants of the Wei family, but was rejected by the military god Fufu, before he died, not only gave them a Danshu iron ticket that could protect the safety of the family for generations, but also left them a pair of golden gongs to beat the unconscious monarch and the lower to beat the traitor, as well as an edict that could depose the emperor at any time.
Over the ages, the Danshu iron ticket has been enshrined in the Wei family, many people have seen it, the golden gong has also appeared many times, far from mentioning, the first prince rebelled, the first emperor directly destroyed the East Palace without asking the reason, the old general Wei once sacrificed the golden gong, all the way to the palace, many people have seen it with their own eyes, as for whether the golden gong hit the emperor later, then no one knows, but that edict has never come out, Even if everyone knew that the Wei family had the authority to depose the emperor, without seeing it, they still had doubts, how wise was the Holy Ancestor Emperor? How could he leave that kind of thing to restrain his descendants, but who would have thought that today Wei Zehang would directly say it.
If the edict really exists, even if three hundred years have passed, it will still be effective for the Qin royal family, otherwise, the Great Qin ruling the country with benevolence and filial piety is a joke.
"You... Good, very good, hum!
The emperor's fingers trembled and pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't catch his breath, and finally left with a dark face, and this matter was really over, the princes and ministers who were left in the imperial study were all in a difficult mood because of the matter of the Holy Ancestor Emperor's edict, no one spoke, and when they left one after another, they were silent one by one, this matter was too big, and they needed enough time to digest.
