Baojun and others murmured in their hearts that what Weng Tonghe said was correct, but was it appropriate to prejudge the other party's guilt in advance without evidence?
Assume that the other party is guilty first and then investigate. Will there be any tendency in this process of prejudgment first and verification later?
The last question is, this old man, are you Han? Why are you so wary of the Han Li Hongzhang? Why exactly?
In fact, Baojun Yinggui and others already vaguely had the answer in their hearts, but why would they bother to pierce this layer of window paper if they were Manchus?
Fu Qing glanced at the old man with deep eyes, turned back and said to Lord Long Live, "Master Weng's reminder is reasonable. Our country must be careful, of course, but the most urgent thing now is the rebels hoarded by Zhuozhou..."
"First resolve the life-and-death crisis, and then investigate slowly! I wonder if Master Weng has any solution to the current war situation?"
The old man nodded firmly, "The imperial army has not been completely wiped out. What is Yuan Qi still afraid of? The imperial court has not lost its righteousness. Long live the Lord has not done anything unethical. What are we worried about..."
"As long as the civil servants don't love money and the military officers are not afraid of death, the Qing Dynasty will naturally fall apart sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty! Please mobilize the troops and horses of King Qin from all over the world, the flag camps stationed in various places, the Eight Banners cavalry from Mongolia, the Hunchun army outside the pass... Are you afraid that you can't suppress such a rebellion with all the strength of the Qing Dynasty?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with disappointment. They thought that you, Weng Tonghe, would also fire cannons. You were talking about the things we were worried about just now. Mobilizing the world's troops? Do you really think running a country is like child's play?
But after all, the old man was the emperor's master and the leader of the Confucian scholars, so he still had to give him face, but no one would give him face to face with him.
Yinggui sighed, "What Mr. Weng said about Lao Cheng seeking the country is quite good, but it's a little slow. What we need to solve now is an imminent crisis!"
"First of all, we must withstand the attack that is right in front of us! After the bloody battle in Zhuozhou, how many days will the Jaap Six have to repair? How many supplies does he need to replenish? Who will be sent to the vanguard? How many soldiers? How can we stop... This is The most important thing!"
"Damn it, I am really incompetent. Without Zhuge Kongming's clever plan... I have really failed His Majesty's trust!"
"Zhuge Kongming?" Fu Qing was suddenly touched by this sentence. He was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Your Majesty! I have someone who can ask for advice. Maybe he will have a way..."
"Who?" Zai Chun asked.
"Your Majesty! It's Li Tuo who came to the palace late at night to ask you to mobilize the airship troops! That Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department, I transferred him to the curtain!"
"This man is very talented. If he hadn't predicted the battle in Zhuozhou in advance and prepared extra trains and airships... then the losses would have been more than this, and the entire army might have been annihilated!"
"Perhaps King Dun and I have long since become the dead souls of Guiziliu!"
King Dun's eyes also lit up. "Yes! At the most critical moment of the battle, if the airship hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the Chinese army would have collapsed! This is not the biggest credit..."
"The key is that during the march that night, Li Tuo was planning material supplies at the Jingshi Station. He only made this judgment based on the little information brought by the telegram after the train retreated!"
"This man is very clever and has his own unique judgment on the battle situation... Your Majesty, you can ask him!"
Having said this, even the Ministers of Military Aircraft Baojun and Yinggui also spoke up, "Yes! Prince Dun and Lord Fuqing were rescued from coma before, and Li Tuo was in charge of the final work on the battlefield. He should have the latest information now." Yes! Your Majesty, why don’t you summon him quickly..."
"Li Tuo should be at the Ministry of War at the moment. It's very close to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. It only takes more than ten minutes to jog all the way..."
"Okay... I allow him to ride into the palace, and call him in quickly... and let him bring the latest information in the past few hours!"
Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. What else can be done now? The six ministers are all confused, and they all play their own tunes!
The old man tilted his head and thought for a while, "That Li Tuo from the Military Aircraft Department? I have seen him before...but he is not an official! He is just a seventh-grade Zhang Jing, just a minor official..."
Fu Qing patiently explained to the old man, "Master Weng doesn't know. Sometimes people like this are used to coordinate the war situation... It's not that you, the Sixth Department of the Central Government, are incapable of talent, but that you have specialized skills and cannot stand in the overall situation of the Sixth Department." Look at the problem from a different perspective!”
"This has limitations... and Li Tuo manages the files of the Military Aircraft Department as Bingbi Zhangjing. In his hands, the documents of each department must be summarized, sorted, written out, classified, sealed, and packed..."
"He has been doing this job for more than ten years. He has been working hard every day, but he can still develop some spiritual skills! This battle in Zhuozhou also proved his excellence!"
"The most important point... Li Tuoke was always there when Guizi Liu was at the military aircraft. He has been secretly observing Gui Zi Liu for a year or two!"
"This person knows a lot about officialdom and is very good at analyzing people..."
The old man was a little dismissive, but after all, he couldn't object directly after the emperor said it. He just kept muttering in his heart, "I'm just a small official, how can I be used as Zhuge Liang? He's just a small official, and he's not a scholar..."
"Thousands of troops and horses were defeated when they crossed the single-plank bridge. How can they still become Zhuge Liang?"
At this moment, the ministers outside the Taimiao no longer need to kneel. They are standing together in small groups, rubbing their numb legs and feet, talking to each other in low voices, with panic expressions on their faces.
Suddenly they saw Xiao Sixi and a group of eunuchs carrying lanterns running down the third floor of the royal stairs and heading straight for the gate. Some royal nobles showed their identity and went up to stop him and ask questions.
As a result, Xiao Sixi turned pale and yelled, "Get out of the way! Don't block the way... His Majesty has a decree, and he will behead him if he misses the time..."
After knocking away the two Belles, a group of young eunuchs rushed out of the Ancestral Temple. As a result, the people present were even more worried. Of course, many people had a different kind of light in their eyes.
Those who have always been involved with Guiziliu can no longer suppress their evil thoughts!
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is very close to the Ministry of War. Li Tuo just returned from outside the city and was about to report the latest military situation to Fu Qing. Li Tuo, who had not slept for thirty hours, heard that Fu Qing was meeting in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. While waiting, he leaned his head against He was snoring like crazy on the back of the chair in a second.
Xiao Sixi and other eunuchs rushed into the military headquarters and saw this scene without saying a word, "Carry the chair and go..."
Four strong eunuchs rushed forward, each carrying a chair by one corner and ran out. Li Tuo on the chair was still snoring like thunder and sleeping soundly!
