The speaker was Song Yiting, the magistrate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. In order to manage the palace rituals, although he had no real military and political power, he could go to the court and participate in political discussions.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan did not make a judgment immediately, but said with a smile: "Master Song is in the temple, in the capital of Qin, and can actually know about the frontline conspiracy. Even the position of Marquis Xu Suyi, the king of Jin, You know too? The information is really well-informed."
"This..." Song Yiting choked, but immediately said: "Back to your Majesty, this is what I heard."
"Where did you hear it?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"This..." Song Yiting didn't know what to say.
At this time, another minister stood up, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors recently about General Su Yi. Regardless of whether they are true or false, Your Majesty should be cautious. After all, he has something in his hand." One hundred thousand troops."
"You also said that it is just a rumor. If there are rumors everywhere in Qinzhou City now that you, Mr. Zhang, have surrendered to the enemy and treason, will I, the king, have to kill you immediately?" Xiao Yuan is not serious or not. said.
"This, this, Your Majesty, I am devoted to the country, and my loyalty to Your Majesty is a lesson to be learned..." The man surnamed Zhang was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Master Zhang, there is no need to be excited. I am just making a metaphor to explain Su Yi's matter." Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly to signal him to stand up.
"Yes, yes, your Majesty just scared the ministers to death." After Mr. Zhang stood up, he did not forget to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform.
At this time, another minister stood up: "Your Majesty, having said that, as the saying goes, there is no storm without fire. Regarding General Su Yi, whether it is true or false, in the opinion of a humble minister, the royal court should take due precautions. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, the so-called guarding against others is indispensable. What's more, Su Yi still holds the military power. If something happens to him, the consequences will be disastrous."
"In my opinion, the situation is still unclear, but as a precaution, the king can change the commander and go there to replace Su Yi, and then order him to return to the capital for detailed investigation."
"Wei Chen agrees that this is the best policy."
In the main hall, some officials had already stood up. Listening to these remarks, Xiao Yuan almost laughed out of anger.
These civil servants actually suggested that he change his commander before battle!
There is no doubt that since he uses Su Yi, it means that he absolutely trusts the latter, otherwise, why would he be so handsome?
Of course, some of the recent rumors have reached his ears, but in his opinion, these are just Jin's tricks. Even if Su Yi really conspired with the King of Jin, how could such a top-secret matter be spread among the people? This move by the Jin State was obviously superfluous.
Just when Xiao Yuan was about to protest, Lei Lei was furious, but after thinking about it, he endured it again.
Why did Jin do this? This just shows that Su Yi has hit their sore spot!
In this case, why not take advantage of the situation?
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a deep breath and said: "Okay, what the ministers said is not unreasonable. This matter is indeed something to be considered. I also thought about it again just now and replaced Su Yi with Coming down is indeed the best way at the moment.”
"I am Wang Yingming." Song Yiting said immediately.
But at this time, Shangguan Wenruo became anxious and said: "But Your Majesty, the commander changes before the battle..."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan interrupted him and said nonchalantly: "This matter has been settled. No need to say more. Is there anything else you want to report?"
"I'm fine..."
"Then retreat!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand, stood up and left the king's chair.
After he left, the ministers dispersed and began to walk in groups of twos and threes, naturally discussing the matter among themselves.
If Shangguan Wenruo was walking with Liu Yuzhi, he said with some doubts: "There are many doubts about Su Yi. With the wisdom of the king, he should not make such a decision."
"Haha." Liu Yuzhi smiled and said, "Since Brother Shangguan knows that he was facing the top just now, why did he come out of the queue?"
"Oh? What Xiangguo means is..."
"Your Majesty, he must have other plans." Liu Yuzhi was not sure, but as an old subordinate of Xiao Yuan, he knew his master to some extent and would never change Su Yi just like this. It should be noted that changing the commander before the battle is not possible. A taboo for military strategists.
"Yes, I think so." Shangguan Wenruo nodded first, then smiled and said: "The Prime Minister is still so beautiful, I admire you."
"Where is it?" Liu Yuzhi waved his hand quickly and said tentatively: "How about going to the study to see the king?"
"Okay, traveling with us?"
"Walk."
The palace study.
After Xiao Yuan went to court, he immediately summoned Liang Yuan.
The latter was standing below with his head slightly bowed, waiting for Xiao Yuan's order.
"Go and send someone to keep an eye on Song Yiting."
"Order from the Ancestral Temple?" Liang Yuan was shocked.
"Well, just keep an eye on it secretly. No matter what you find, don't act rashly." Xiao Yuan said.
"Yes! Wei Chen understands."
"Go ahead."
"No!" Liang Yuan saluted and retreated.
When he arrived outside, he happened to bump into Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo. These two people were both of the first rank in the dynasty. Liang Yuan quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Your Excellency, Mr. Xiangguo, Mr. Shangguan."
"Ah, it's Mr. Liang." The two of them also bowed their hands in return.
After saluting each other, Liang Yuan left. Looking at his back, Shangguan Wenruo and Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but look at each other: "Duweiying..."
The two of them were thoughtful, and when they came outside the study, at the door of the palace, Xu Humen stood like a god with a sword in his hand.
"Two adults, please allow me to report to the king later."
"Thank you, General."
Not long after, Xu Hu left and came back, stepped aside and said, "Your Majesty, you have an invitation."
The two of them nodded and began to go in together. After arriving at the study, they naturally knelt down and saluted: "See Your Majesty——"
"Get back on your feet." Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips in his hands, looked at the two of them and said, "I just went to court, are you two okay in the house?"
"This..." The two of them choked for a moment, and Shangguan Wenruo said: "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but it's just a matter of a minor minister dealing with General Su Yi..."
"What's there to discuss?" Xiao Yuan said directly: "Su Yi is the commander-in-chief of our Qin army. He was personally appointed by the king. No one can change this decision. As for the rumors, it seems that the king of Jin is very clever. It’s a little ridiculous.”
"Then the king came to court today and said that he wanted to change the commander. Did he mean to use a trick?"
"Since King Jin wants me to replace Su Yi, then it's as he wishes." Xiao Yuan chuckled.
Hearing this, the two understood.
Xiao Yuan added: "There are many officials in our country who do not support the attack on Jin. Now, if such rumors occur in Qinzhou City, there must be a large number of Jin people lurking. We can also use this opportunity to change the commander on the surface. ."
"But secretly, I will grant Su Yi absolute military command. This battle must be fought by him!"
"I, Wang Yingming——" the two said in unison.
"Okay, don't flatter me. Just leave if you have nothing to do. I'm busy." Xiao Yuan waved his hand casually.
"This, yes, Wei Chen is resigning..."
