at this time.
Weird wind.
It blew in from the gate of Tianxia Palace and hovered around more than a hundred important officials of Great Xia.
The ministers of Daxia pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss Li Jian's answer.
Emperor Xia was also quite curious!
What would this old guy say?
Li Jian raised his head and said seriously: "A few years before the founding of Daxia, our Daxia court sent troops into the wilderness to fight against the Sirius soldiers every year. Why did it fail?"
"I believe everyone knows the reason!"
"It's because there is no food and minerals in the barren state. We transport food, grass and weapons from the Central Plains area. The supply line is too long. If we call on civilians to transport it back and forth, half of the food and grass will be eaten. The loss is huge, and we can't support the frontline army at all!"
Emperor Xia's face was expressionless and there was no change in emotion: "So?"
"So, I believe that Huangzhou is remote and has been baptized by twenty years of war. It has been destroyed long ago. The wealth of Huangzhou has long been looted by the Sirius Empire. It is a war-torn place that is destitute and useless. It is not worth it. Raise an army to protect us."
"Also, the products in the barren state are not abundant, the land does not produce food, and the area is full of tricky mountain people. After the prisoners and prisoners were exiled, the poor mountains and rivers produced unscrupulous people, and they would not be grateful to His Majesty for their grace."
Li Jian raised his eyelids and said: "So, I think it is the right choice for the Ministry of War not to send troops to rescue Huangzhou for more than ten years."
"Therefore, I believe that we can directly mobilize the Qingzhou Army to set up defenses in the Tianmen Mountain area to prevent the Sirius army from entering the Central Plains from Qingzhou."
"Give up the barren state!"
Li Jian said loudly and forcefully: "No troops!"
The words fell.
The Tianxia Palace became a little quieter.
The ministers secretly peeked at Emperor Xia... If they could see His Majesty's intentions from the changes in his eyes, face, and body parts, they would be able to decide what to do next!
However, Emperor Xia had no expression on his face and no movement of his body.
It’s hard to guess your thoughts!
at this time.
The prince looked at Li Jian and felt happy at Li Jian's words.
really.
Li Shangshu is one of our own!
Stinky old Jiu, just die in despair in Huangzhou!
at this time.
Cao Wei also looked at Li Jian with satisfaction!
This time, Huangzhou is hopeless, and the damn King of Huangzhou is dead!
The hatred between his son Cao Bao and Cao Ma was finally avenged!
Li Jian, avenging both of them, is considered a benefactor!
From now on, when he goes to bed with his two sons' concubines, he won't have to look sad and angry and deliberately look like he's worse off than dead!
His sullen feeling over losing his beauty in the morning seemed to have dissipated a lot.
He decided that in the future, he would help Li Jian in government affairs so that he could have greater power in the court.
at this time.
The prince quietly took two steps back and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Li Jian, you can use it very much!"
Cao Wei nodded sympathetically!
That’s very useful!
in addition.
The princelings, who had suffered heavy losses due to the assassination of Wang Xia Tian of Huangzhou, looked at Li Jian's back and finally recognized him as one of their own!
Congratulations to yourself, you have added another important member of the princeling party!
An important minister who can fight very well!
The mood is happiness!
As for Huangzhou, let him live or die.
As long as the prince ascends the throne, they will sing, dance, and hold the oiran in his arms. They are extremely happy!
Therefore, all the princeling ministers Qingliu who used to madly attack the Minister of War fell silent!
The other kings’ forces also kept silent!
Because the more the emperor's son died, the higher the possibility that their prince would seize the throne.
Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal if the useless King of Huangzhou dies!
A few days ago, didn't the emperor hint to the prince to kill that good-for-nothing?
As a result, the prince was also a waste, and after suffering heavy losses, he was even banned.
beside.
The historian looked at the faces of all the people in the court and wrote down.
At this time.
Emperor Xia stood up as usual when asking questions about politics, but there was still no expression on his face: "Dear dear friends, Li Aiqing said that he will not send troops into the wilderness, tell me what you think!"
No one came out to speak!
This year, when discussing military matters in Huangzhou, the atmosphere in the court was a bit strange.
He directly named him: "Prime Minister Zuo, please tell me your opinion!"
Sima Jian, as the head of the hundred officials, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think it is time to send troops this year!"
"Huh......"
Emperor Xia couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Prime Minister Zuo, in previous years, you always opposed soldiers to fight in Huangzhou. Why did you change your mind this time?"
Sima Jian was about to speak.
beside.
Cao Wei looked like he had caught Sima Jian's handle, and rushed to speak: "Your Majesty, I believe that Prime Minister Zuo changed his mind because his daughter is in Huangzhou!"
Sima Jian frowned: "Right Prime Minister, you slandered the truth in front of His Majesty without any evidence. What crime should you be guilty of?"
"You're still in a hurry!"
Cao Wei felt very happy when he thought that Sima Lan was in Huangzhou and Sima Jian was about to kill his daughter: "Your Majesty, the most difficult thing to let go of in this world is the love between father and son, and the love between father and daughter."
"Then Sima Lan is in Huangzhou, and he will definitely not be able to let go of it. Therefore, it is false to send the imperial army to rescue Huangzhou, but it is true to send his own daughter!"
"I understand this feeling. If my daughter is in a deserted state, if we don't send troops to rescue her, is she still a human being?"
"Therefore, Sima Jian, a minister and counselor, deposed his official position for his own personal interests, and consumed the country's power by saving his daughter. His virtue is not worthy of the position, and he is not worthy of being the left prime minister."
The fight between the two has always been a common drama in the Great Xia Dynasty!
Cao Wei just finished speaking.
Everyone was waiting for Sima Jian's counterattack!
However, Sima Jian frowned, smiled mysteriously, but stopped talking!
Cao Wei, what an old fool!
That's right!
His Sima Jian's daughter is in Huangzhou!
But, who did you follow?
King of Huangzhou!
Who is the King of Huangzhou?
The emperor's ninth son!
Cao Wei said that if he did not send troops to rescue his daughter, he would not be worthy of being a man or a father!
What if the emperor doesn't send troops to rescue the king of Huangzhou?
He is definitely not worthy of being a father!
Cao Wei seemed smart, but he attacked Sima Jian.
However, it was actually stupid to put the emperor within the attack range.
at this time.
Some important officials in the court also reacted, their eyes lit up, and they secretly looked at His Majesty the Emperor's face.
This time, there is something good to watch!
really.
Emperor Xia's face suddenly became gloomy, and he spoke with no warmth: "Cao Aiqing, if you say it like that, then my prince is also in Huangzhou in the summer. If we don't send troops to save him, then I am not worthy of being a human being." Not worthy of being a father?”
Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably from Cao Wei's forehead!
"Plop..."
Cao Wei's legs went weak and he bowed to the ground in fear: "Your Majesty, I definitely did not mean to insinuate Your Majesty!"
"I swear to God, I just think Prime Minister Zuo has selfish motives for sending troops to rescue Huangzhou!"
beside.
Veins were twitching in the corners of the prince's eyes!
The teacher didn't speak so confusedly before, right?
Has your daughter-in-law slept too much recently?
His eyes were dark, and he waved his hand slightly behind his back. The princeling minister Qingliu immediately understood.
Now, let’s muddy the waters!
Otherwise, Prime Minister Right will be in trouble!
Suddenly.
A princeling Qingliu minister came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I agree with Prime Minister Zuo's suggestion that troops should be sent to rescue Huangzhou and resist the attack of the Sirius people."
"Therefore, I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Jian. This person is in charge of the world's military, but he turned a blind eye to the Sirius invasion of Huangzhou, and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people of Huangzhou. He is not worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of War!"
At this time, a group of princeling Qingliu ministers came out: "I also joined Li Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to agree with what Lord Wang said!"
"Hehehe..."
Li Jian turned around and sneered: "Do you know how to fight?"
"Do you know anything about military matters?"
"You dare to accuse this minister?"
When it comes to quarreling, Li Jian has never been afraid, and he has never lost in terms of temperament.
Lord Wang, like a rooster, said tit for tat: "Li Shangshu, before you returned to the imperial capital to recuperate, you had been fighting in the north. How much do you know about the military affairs of Huangzhou?"
Speaking of which.
Mr. Wang stroked his beard and said: "Although I am not a famous general like Li Shangshu, I am still a good strategist and know some military affairs in Huangzhou."
"I want to discuss the military affairs of Huangzhou with Lord Shangshu!"
Li Jian's eyes brightened and he asked excitedly: "Do you really know about the military affairs of Huangzhou?"
Mr. Wang raised his head, his neck was a bit long, like a stubborn goose: "Of course!"
"Li Shangshu dares to discuss it with me in front of His Majesty?"
Li Jian's face lit up and he raised his hand to stop: "No need!"
"I lost!"
"I write to Lord Wang that he is familiar with the military affairs of Huangzhou!"
Mr. Wang raised his head much higher!
Minister Qingliu, all he fights for is dissatisfaction!
no!
You have to pretend to be good!
At this time.
I saw Li Jian turned around and saluted with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is right. I have spent most of my life leading troops in the north. In other places, I only had a few small victories against the troops of the Sirius Empire. I don’t know much about the military affairs of Huangzhou!”
"Therefore, I would like to resign from the post of Minister of War!"
"At the same time, because Mr. Wang is familiar with the military affairs of Huangzhou, I recommend Mr. Wang to be appointed Minister of War!"
Suddenly.
In Tianxia Palace, it became quiet again!
Mr. Wang’s face fell!
Li Jian, an old man, simply doesn't act according to common sense and is not a son of a man!
He is determined not to serve as Minister of War!
What he said next was to depreciate himself directly. He wanted to throw the Minister of War into the pit of fire by borrowing the donkey from the slope.
This is absolutely not possible!
Mr. Wang's face was ashen and he was furious: "That's not what I meant!"
"No!"
Li Jian raised his head high and vented his anger at Master Wang: "That's what you mean!"
"Your Majesty, I really think Mr. Wang is qualified for the position of Minister of War!"
“I highly recommend it!”
"Plop..."
Lord Wang was about to burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I really don't mean this!"
The prince was confused!
Was this done by one of our own?
This Lord Wang... is really overwhelmed with the heavy responsibility!
He fought and bickered with Li Jian, but he was completely defeated!
beside.
The historian's eyes shone brightly, he looked at the excitement and wrote as if he was inspired.
Emperor Xia glanced at the historian, and the veins on his forehead jumped.
If future generations see this period of history, how will they evaluate me?
Emperor Xia's face became colder and colder.
It seems like he is going to be furious!
at this time.
The imperial envoy who had been silent came out: "Your Majesty, I also think that Li Jian, the Minister of War, is afraid of the Sirius people and does not dare to send troops to fight. In fact, he is a coward of our Great Xia Dynasty, and the Great Xia Dynasty is a disgrace!"
"He is not worthy of being the Minister of War, not worthy of being my Daxia man, let alone being called a famous general of Daxia!"
"right!"
All the censors in red were like a group of boiled crabs walking sideways, and they all came out at the same time: "I second the proposal!"
"Li Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, should be held accountable for the fact that his corpse was left untouched!"
The censors in red participated even more fiercely!
Not only do they want to remove Li Jian from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, but they also want to hold him accountable and put him on the line, which sounds much more ruthless than Mr. Wang!
but.
If the censor is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firmly in the court!
However, being so cruel to Li Jian was beyond everyone's expectations.
Shocked everyone!
Because all the ministers knew that Li Jian was the spiritual leader of the censors, and they secretly listened to his words.
This, something is wrong!
"Huh......"
Emperor Xia's attention was successfully diverted.
He glanced at the censors with curiosity!
interesting!
It seems that Li Jian really doesn’t want to be the Minister of War!
He actually asked his disciples and grandchildren to stand up and taint themselves!
This is absolutely not possible!
Changing commanders when facing an enemy is a taboo for military strategists.
Emperor Xia roared: "Okay!"
"If you are asked to go to the court to discuss the invasion of Huangzhou by the Sirius people, it would be better for you to make a mess and argue, how unbecoming it is!"
"Since Prime Minister Zuo thinks that troops should be sent to rescue Huangzhou, and Prime Minister Right said... If I don't send troops to rescue Huangzhou, I won't be worthy of being a father, so I decided to send troops to rescue Huangzhou and resist the invasion of the Sirius people."
"In the whole world, everything is the land of the king. On the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers."
"In the past twenty years, we have not won a single victory in Huangzhou, and the Sirius people think that I, Daxia, are weak and can be bullied. I have had enough of this tone!"
"This time, if my son is killed by the Sirius people in Huangzhou, then all the countries in the mainland will think that I, Daxia, are weak and can be bullied."
"In the future, no one will dare to point their troops at Daxia!"
Emperor Xia said with some selfishness deep in his eyes: "So, this time, we must send troops to resist the enemy!"
"yes!"
The ministers responded quickly and returned to their seats.
Suddenly.
Order has been restored in the hall!
Emperor Xia returned to the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "Li Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War!"
Li Jian stepped forward: "I'm here."
"I am determined to send an army of 100,000 to assist the Deserted State. Each of the nine states in Daxia will send 10,000 elites, and the imperial capital camp will send 20,000 elites. We will join forces in Qingzhou and enter the Deserted State to fight!"
"yes!"
Emperor Xia asked again: "Who dares to be the commander in this battle?"
Suddenly.
Tianxia Palace became quiet again!
Over the years, Daxia's military campaigns against Huangzhou have always resulted in disastrous defeats, or even annihilation of the entire army.
Those generals who led the troops and did not die on the battlefield will also die under military law when they return.
All the time, the generals who led the troops into the wilderness to fight were always dead!
No one wants to go on such a life-threatening job!
so.
All the generals looked at their noses, noses and hearts, and their eyes looked at their toes, as if there was a flower with countless petals on the ground.
The attitude of the generals was directly in front of Emperor Xia.
This was also expected by Emperor Xia.
Who wants to die!
"Why......"
Emperor Xia sighed faintly: "Prince, how about you take command of the expedition?"
"boom......"
The prince's soul sea exploded, shaking his legs weakly, and he fell to his knees, wanting to cry but without tears: "Father, my child doesn't understand military matters!"
It is true that if a man stands before you, disaster will come from heaven!
That damn smelly old nine is indeed a disaster!
Because he was in a deserted state, his father had to send troops to rescue him!
But why click on his general?
Could it be that that stinky old man had to drag him with him even to death?
Emperor Xia stared at the prince seriously and said, "It's because you don't understand military matters, so take this opportunity to go to Huangzhou to practice. From now on, you will understand military matters!"
The prince bowed in admiration: "Father, my child is weak and not suitable for expedition!"
Emperor Xia looked at the dark circles under the prince's eyes, and then thought about the two times he peed in front of the palace. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Hey, you have a body like this, don't let me, the white-haired person, give it to the black-haired person!"
A man in his thirties is always scared to urinate. This is a terminal illness!
This is the reason why the prince cannot give birth to a grandson!
He has already asked the imperial doctor that this disease cannot be cured!
It is difficult for a prince who cannot give birth to a son to ascend to the throne.
Emperor Xia knew it well!
So, why not send the prince to the front line for some training? After being tempered by blood and fire, maybe his mind will become stronger?
Emperor Xia was a little eager to try.
but.
The prince burst into tears: "Father, my child..."
Before he finished speaking, he fainted on the spot.
Emperor Xia: "..."
It’s really rotten wood that cannot be carved!
At this time.
Some important princeling ministers frowned.
Prince, you have no courage!
It’s really not like a human being!
Moreover, what did His Majesty the Emperor just say?
Don't let the white-haired man send the black-haired man?
It seems that the prince's thighs cannot be held!
As a result, some important officials of the princeling party had other ideas!
Emperor Xia shook his head in disappointment: "Come here, carry the prince down and let the imperial doctor take a look!"
"yes!"
"Without my will, let the prince continue to recuperate in the East Palace!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Wei waved his hand, and two young eunuchs stepped forward to help the prince away.
then.
The prince who pretended to be sick was grounded again!
now.
The prince's heart was filled with congestion, and his throat was so sweet that he almost spurted it out!
He finally went to court again and was preparing to regain his glory and become a good prince and heir apparent that everyone praised!
Never thought of it.
As soon as he went to court, he encountered the incident in Huangzhou!
His father was disappointed in him again!
The minister was disappointed with him again!
He was grounded again!
What the hell is going on?
All this is due to that damn smelly old nine!
Stinky old nine!
The prince was helped down to the court in unwillingness and resentment.
"Why......"
Emperor Xia let out another sigh of hatred.
This sigh was like a sharp sword piercing the heart of the princeling.
Cao Wei had just escaped, his face turned pale, and he did not dare to say any more.
Emperor Xia's sharp gaze swept across the faces of the generals one by one, and no one dared to raise their head.
He knew the thoughts of the generals.
then.
Emperor Xia pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the outside of Tianxia Palace: "My dear lords, since you are not willing to go on an expedition to the barren state, then I will lead the expedition myself!"
"Plop..."
All the ministers in the court knelt down and exhorted in unison: "Your Majesty, no!"
"Your Majesty, you can't go on a personal expedition!"
Sima Jian raised his head with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, your position is on the Dragon Throne, no longer in Huangzhou!"
"The king must not stand in danger!"
"Your Majesty must never lead a military expedition in person!"
Emperor Xia sheathed his sword angrily and asked angrily: "Then who is going?"
“Doesn’t my Great Xia Dynasty even have a single general who dares to go on an expedition to the barren state?”
"Is there not even a bloody person who dares to fight the Sirius?"
"I, what do I need from you?"
All the ministers bowed to the ground: "I will die!"
However, having said that, no generals stepped forward to lead the troops.
Emperor Xia became even more angry: "Wan Death! Wan Death! Besides saying Wan Death, what else can you say?"
"Now, what I want is not tens of thousands of deaths, but someone to take command and lead the troops to fight!"
"What's the use of dying ten thousand times?"
The generals still remained silent!
Emperor Xia was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and chop to death these guys who usually talked a lot of flattery but acted like cowards at critical moments.
Are the generals of his Great Xia Dynasty so greedy for life and afraid of death?
How sad!
suddenly.
Li Jian raised his head, looked around, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I, my minister Li Jian, are willing to share your worries for you, lead troops to attack the Huangzhou, repel the Sirius people, protect the king of the Huangzhou, and protect the peace of the Huangzhou!"
Emperor Xia's heart sank into the abyss and was pulled back to the human world. He said with some emotion: "It's better that Li Aiqing can take care of your worries!"
"You all get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers then got up and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads!
Someone finally took over this life-threatening job!
Emperor Xia was also in a good mood: "Li Aiqing, although you have to lead the expedition to Huangzhou, you will not relinquish your post as Minister of the Ministry of War. I give you the power to make decisions on the fly. Wherever you go, the Yamen of the Ministry of War will be there!"
"This way, you have the soldiers and logistics at your fingertips, and no one can hold you back!"
Li Jian was neither happy nor surprised: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"If you have any other requests, just ask!"
Li Jian then said confidently: "I want to mobilize the elite of the northern frontier army to go out with me!"
Emperor Xia nodded: "The northern frontier troops were all trained by you, and you will be able to use them more easily!"
"That's right!"
"You can choose 20,000 elite soldiers from the northern frontier army to go out with you!"
The elite of the northern frontier army, known as the "Li Family Army", was built by Li Jian himself, and his disciples are all over the army.
At first.
Emperor Xia was worried about his self-respect in supporting troops, so he transferred him back to the imperial capital to recuperate, dispersed the northern frontier army, and reorganized it.
If it weren't for Li Jian's expedition to Huangzhou on behalf of Emperor Xia this time, Emperor Xia would never have allowed him to use the northern frontier army.
Even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not allow it!
But now, no one objects anymore!
Li Jian's expression remained as usual: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time.
Emperor Xia took off his sword from his waist and walked up to Li Jian: "This is my sword. It is the military talisman for your expedition to the barren state. Go ahead, protect the barren state, kill the werewolves, and fight a few victorious battles for all the countries in the world." Look, my Daxia is still strong and undefeatable!"
Li Jian took the sword respectfully: "Yes!"
Emperor Xia thought for a while and whispered: "Li Aiqing, King Huangzhou is my prince. Even if there is a feud between you two, I want him to live well. Do you understand my thoughts?"
Li Jian accepted the order: "Yes!"
"Go ahead!"
"yes!"
Li Jian held the sword, turned around and left the palace, preparing to go to war.
Everything today is in his plan.
The Sirius men are coming menacingly and their troops are fierce.
The king of Huangzhou is in Huangzhou, which is very dangerous!
He, Li Jian, wants to protect his king!
He wants to go with the army justifiably!
Now, he did it!
Li Jian walked out of the Tianxia Palace and murmured to the west: "Your Highness, hold on, I will come as quickly as possible!"
"You must hold on!"
"Otherwise, my daughter will be sad..."
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone. Thank you for your rewards and support. It is the motivation for me to write a good book! Special thanks to [Pei Liqi from Southern Henan Province] for sending me the master certification. I will continue to work hard!)
