An emergency meeting is being held in Chongzheng Hall.
The situation on Fujian Road caught the imperial court off guard. The first step was to talk about the chaos in a county, but the second step was to see the whole road being burned.
This speed is absolutely unprecedented and terrifying.
If this continues, the fire may reach Liangzhe Road and Lin'an tomorrow.
Zhao Guan's family asked the ministers to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, and the civil servants immediately started talking and making a noise.
The generals stood aside and acted like sculptures, because they were not qualified to participate in the discussion and decision-making, and could only act according to orders.
Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting on the throne, pinched his forehead tightly, looking exhausted and haggard, and couldn't help but feel a little alarmed in his heart.
Hey, as expected, the word sex is a knife in the head. I have been too out of control recently, and my body can hardly bear it, so I need to restrain myself.
However, thinking of that hot and graceful body, my heart felt hot again, and I couldn't let go.
Mrs. Tang is such a wonderful person.
She is as considerate as Madam Yan, and is a bit more gentle and gentle than Madam Yan. Moreover, the various postures and wild charms on the bed are a style that I have never experienced before, making me feel as if I am decades younger. .
Moreover, she also has peerless talents. Her playing of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and music are all pleasing to the eye, and there are always endless entertainment and entertainment plays. Regardless of elegance or vulgarity, they are all so interesting.
Every look in her eyes is so touching, and every word she speaks is so considerate.
With her by your side, every moment is full of joy, making people want to live forever like this...
I haven't seen her for an hour, which is really painful.
The noise in the palace became more and more noisy, making Guan Zhao's brains ache and his spirits begin to feel trance-like.
Noisy, noisy, noisy, noisy, they are really a bunch of trash.
It’s been over thirty years and it’s so boring!
After working hard for the country for so long, I am worthy of my ancestors. Maybe it’s time to let go.
Anyway, Shiro is so capable, so why not hand over the position to him as soon as possible and let him handle this annoying state affairs by himself.
Madam Tang is right. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don’t compete with your children and grandchildren. It’s time for us to enjoy our happiness.
Shiro is a man who values affection and justice, so there is no need to worry about his family being left behind after we abdicate. Life like that of Li Yuan is actually not bad...
However, this Shiro has his own plans, and he is probably unwilling to take over so early. He is still stubborn and will go backwards if he is held back. How to convince him?
How annoying!
Zhao Guanjia was irritated and found the ministers' arguments more and more unbearable. He picked up the "gentian" carved into the shape of a crouching dragon and slapped the imperial case hard.
"Bang!"
A loud noise echoed in the hall, and the officials immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhao Guan's house in surprise.
They only thought that the Zhao Guan family was angry because they were unable to come up with a countermeasure, but they did not expect that the Zhao Guan family was full of thoughts of giving up the choice at this time.
Zhao Guanjia glanced at the ministers with tired eyes and said in a deep voice, "We have been discussing for so long, let's come up with something useful quickly!"
The ministers looked at me and I looked at you. They were silent for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Guanjia's face became increasingly impatient, someone came out to play.
Zhu Yi, the Zuo Jianyi doctor, said loudly, "There was a sudden rebellion on Fujian Road, but there was no warning beforehand. I believe that the local commanders have unshirkable responsibilities, especially Uncle Xie Fang. The imperial court entrusted Fujian Road to him and gave him overwhelming authority." , but his rule has been so corrupt, he should be punished! And as his recommender, King Yan is also suspected of not knowing people well and giving away official weapons indiscriminately, so he should be severely punished!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence, and all the ministers looked at Zhu Yi in surprise.
What the hell is going on?
He opened his mouth to attack the former prime minister. Although he was not in the center, he was still one of the prime ministers. Forget it, he actually pointed the finger at the King of Yan. He was truly worthy of being called "Zhu Ganglie".
The ministers were surprised because Zhu Yi was neither a member of the Yan royal party nor an anti-Yan party, but a real neutralist.
Speaking of which, Zhu Yi is also a strange man. He comes from a scholarly family, but his father is good at literature and martial arts, so he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child. His arm strength is amazing and he can draw a two hundred kilogram bow. But he also loves reading, so It can be said that he is both civil and military.
When he became an adult, he entered the martial arts examination and was still a student in Shangshe. In the second year of Duanping, he took the first place in the martial arts examination and entered the officialdom.
Since he was born in martial arts, according to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, he could basically only engage in martial arts, but Zhu Yi did not take an unusual path.
It was indeed a military position at first, and he did very well. He was actually awarded the title of guarding the imperial weapon. This was the emperor's personal guard, and he also worked in the Imperial City Department.
However, the Zhao Guan family not only trusted his martial arts skills, but also admired his literary talents. They rarely converted him into literary talents and made him serve as the supervisory censor and storyteller in Chongzheng Palace. Chinese website
You must know that these two official positions are exclusive to the Wenhua Qingliu. Generally, only those with first- and second-class qualifications in the imperial examination can get hold of them. However, they were actually held by a person with a background in martial arts. The key is that the civil servants have no objections.
Zhao Guan's family did not misjudge the person. Zhu Yi was an upright person who did not avoid powerful people, did not seek personal gain, and did not form private parties. Since he became the censor's adviser, he had impeached many high-ranking people, so many people said that he was a Madman, calling him "Zhuganghyena" behind his back.
There was no Journey to the West at this time, but "Book of Rites: Qu Li Xia" states, "When offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, the ox is called Yiyuan Dawu, and the pig is called Ganghye." This is also the name for the pig or porcupine used for sacrifice.
Whether it is the tributes on the altar or the porcupine covered with thorns, they all have the intention of keeping strangers away. In other words, Zhu Yi is a lonely minister. If he insists on being divided into a political faction, he can barely be regarded as a "royalist".
And all along, Zhu Yi has indeed had nothing to do with King Yan. Although the Zuo Jianyi doctor he currently serves as is also a Yanguan, he does not belong to the Yushitai, but to the province.
With his character, it is impossible for him to oppose the King of Yan for personal gain, but today he is eager to target the King of Yan. Is it because of the instructions of the officials?
Could it be that the official family has a desire to store money easily? ?
Are you still planning to launch it at this juncture today?
Isn't this timing a bit inappropriate?
No matter what their stance was, the ministers couldn't help but murmur at this time.
For a while, all the officials remained silent. It was a taboo in official circles to act rashly before seeing the situation clearly.
However, when the Zhao Guan family saw this scene, they were very confused and disagreed with Zhu Yi's words. However, Zhu Yi had always been his loyal supporter, so it was not easy to say too harsh words.
"I am well aware of Qing Zhu's loyalty and uprightness, but things have priorities. Now is not the time to hold people accountable. The top priority is to put an end to the civil unrest as soon as possible. I also ask all of you ministers to contribute your best efforts to resolve my worries!"
Hearing this, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ma Tianji frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Yi who was returning to the train with confusion.
Did this guy do it intentionally or unintentionally? ?
The originally planned plan was thrown into disarray when the porcupine bumped into it.
Immediately, Ma Tianji pretended to glance at Chen Dafang casually, and he happened to look over, so the two exchanged glances with doubts in their eyes.
Chen Dafang calmed down and left the office slowly, "Your Majesty, I believe that administering government is like treating a disease, and we should diagnose the disease and prescribe medicine. The situation in Fujian is really weird now, and Xie Xianggong's report is unclear. It is really difficult to start, but no matter Whether it is asking Fujian to report the details or whether the imperial court sends people to verify the matter, there will be delays. The current situation is urgent, so I suggest that the imperial court select capable ministers and officials and order them to rush to Fujian as soon as possible to handle it with full authority. Counter-insurgency matters, so as not to delay the war opportunity."
After saying that, Chen Dafang silently returned to the train with a calm look on his face.
But the ministers could not calm down.
You are right. Send an important person who can be controlled to unify all powers. You do not need to report to the court or be restricted by others. You can make quick decisions based on local conditions and deal with them decisively. This is of course the most efficient way.
But who should be sent?
This person must not only be capable, but also have a transcendent status, and
Only by being absolutely trusted by the court and officials can we avoid losing our tail and backfire on the country.
There are very few such candidates. You must know that there is still a former prime minister in Fujian. Even if Dong Huai and Cheng Yuanfeng are allowed to go, they may not be able to suppress him, especially now that the situation is unclear. I don’t know what role Uncle Xie Fang played in this matter. Role.
You can't let the officials and imperial chariots personally conduct the expedition...
Then, it seems that only His Royal Highness, King Yan, is left.
The ministers quickly figured it out. Although Chen Dafang didn't say who he wanted to go, the only candidate was King Yan.
At this time, the ministers of King Yan's line all vaguely felt that something was wrong here, but they could not fault Chen Dafang's words, and they could not think of anyone else who would be more suitable.
Immediately, Zhu Yi walked out of the train again, "Your Majesty, what Chen Zhongshu said is indeed a good strategy, but in fact it may not necessarily require sending people from the central government. Everyone must not forget that Chen Xiang is a Marquis of Fuzhou and is retreating to his home at this time. It was Chen Xiang who was then The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, extinguishing the rebellion in Fujian and Jiangxi. The thieves saw the flag and fled. Now the whole Fujian Road and Fuzhou are safe and sound. I am afraid that it is also because of Chen Xiang's reputation that Xiao Xiao is timid and dare not offend, so as long as Chen Xiang takes command of Ping Rebellion, the chaos will be put down soon!"
The Prime Minister Zhu Yi was talking about was Chen Wei. Six years ago, he declined the appointment from the imperial court, took up the post of palace watcher in Dongxiao Palace, and was raised at home.
Zhao Guan's family still trusts Chen Wei, but they still have doubts. "Chen Zihua is a good candidate, but he has resigned from the imperial edict, so I am afraid he will not accept this assignment."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Fuzhou and invite Prime Minister Chen. I believe that when the country is in trouble, Prime Minister Chen will definitely not refuse." Zhu Yi implored.
While Zhao Guanjia was thinking about it, Ma Tingluan objected, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. Military affairs are laborious and laborious. Now that Prime Minister Chen is old, how can he still travel to the battlefield?"
Then, Yao Xide, Minister of Industry and Minister of Industry, also said, "Old ministers also believe that one cannot discuss current affairs with the courage of the past. Zhu Zuojian can't help but take it for granted. Prime Minister Chen has not been involved in political affairs for many years. How can he do it in a hurry? Are you in control of the situation?"
It was not that Yao Xide had any objections to Chen Wei, but that Zhu Yi had impeached him before, causing him to be dismissed, so he took the opportunity to slap him in the face and add to the trouble.
Then several ministers raised objections, but Zhao Guanjia thought for a while and had to give up, "Since Chen Zihua is not suitable, is there anyone else who can be recommended by the ministers?"
Lu Zhong, the secretary doctor, came out and said, "I believe that this important post belongs to His Highness King Yan! King Yan's talents are well known to everyone, and he is also very accomplished in military affairs. No matter from every aspect, His Highness King Yan is the most suitable one." candidate."
By the way, Lu Zhongnai is from Jinjiang, Quanzhou.
Regarding his words, the officials couldn't help but criticize him.
This guy is really telling lies. King Yan is talented and everyone admits it, but where does his military accomplishments come from?
At most, he only defended the city in Wujiang and resisted the rebels. He himself may not have any real merit in it.
After all, King Yan is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and military affairs are no child's play.
But soon many officials, big and small, appeared, saying that King Yan was the best person to deal with the rebellion in Fujian.
Due to the large number of officials from the King of Yan's line, there were not many left in the court. Although Wang Yao, Qian Tao, and Hong Tianxi felt that the limelight was wrong, they also raised objections to King Yan's appointment as commander, but their voices were drowned out. in a chorus of approval.
Zhao Guan's family just wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, and without thinking too much, they decided, "Then let King Yan go... Well, but he is young after all, so let Chen Zihua help him, and Zhu Zuojian is also a brave man. If you have any ideas, go and help him. ... Come here, please summon King Yan to the court at once... Okay, the commander has been chosen, but we can’t let him go empty-handed. Taking advantage of this time, everyone is looking for it, starting from Lianghuai River. Or Jinghu will deploy some elite troops to strengthen the future."
This is also what it should be. Although there are also imperial troops stationed in Fujian, their foundation has long been ruined. The only ones who can fight are the left-wing troops, but most of them were sent to Liuqiu by Uncle Xie Fang.
Since the crown prince is going on an expedition, he must not be careless. It is not something that only three to five thousand can handle. In any case, tens of thousands of elite troops must be mobilized.
But when everyone is flipping through the military books and
When I tried to find out the available troops on the map, I was dumbfounded.
In the direction of Lianghuai, Zhang Rou, the Mongolian Shuntian Wanhu, had just stabbed him a while ago. Although the Song Dynasty won in the end, the losses were not small. The troops who participated in the war needed to rest and recuperate, and those who did not participate in the war also had to prepare for the next invasion of the Mongols.
As for the Jinghu direction, they were also being harassed by Dong Wenwei and Shi Quan. The Mongolian army even bypassed Xiangyang and reached near Jingmen. Wu Yuan, the ambassador of Jinghu, had just asked the imperial court to send 10,000 troops to reinforce Kuizhou Road. In order to prevent the Mongolian army from Dali from implementing a strategy of cutting off Sichuan and Jinghu.
The imperial court originally planned to let Wu Yuan find a way to mobilize 5,000 soldiers to reinforce him, and then send 5,000 soldiers from along the river to fill the gap for him.
Under such circumstances, how could Jinghu still be able to draw troops?
Even if we set up a division along the river, I'm afraid there won't be many troops left to send out.
How can this be done? Is it possible to let King Yan take Lin'an's soldiers there?
Lin'an has a lot of troops. Those who may be able to move cannot be attacked at all, and those who can be attacked must not be moved casually.
As for the child soldiers of the Eastern Wei, the ministers did not even consider it.
At this time, King Yan and his family realized that something was wrong, and they all began to feel uneasy...
