The sonorous words of Fang Zhizhi are like spring thunder exploding, rumbling over, dispelling the harsh winter and allowing everything to begin to recover.
Although Fang Yu did not have the experience of personally leading the troops into battle, he has served in the military department for a long time since he came out, and it has been decades in a flash, from a small official to a military department, and the former young man has also become an old man with gray temples.
Decades of military career has made him no stranger to marching and fighting under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he can be called a person who knows soldiers among the courtiers in Vientiane Shrine today.
In his remarks, there were no empty words or clichés in general terms, but proceeding from the reality of the north, he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us.
Since Fang Yi set a precedent and took the lead in offering advice to the Empress Wu, in this way, it is not good for the ministers to continue to pretend to be dumb.
However, the question asked by the Empress Wu was related to military affairs, and the officials of the various ministries of the Ministry of Household Rites and Punishments, as well as the Dali Temple and Honglu Temple, could continue to fight sloppily under the pretext of not knowing about military affairs, but the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall did not have this blessing.
Because the Tang Dynasty established the country by force, it attaches great importance to military affairs, and all the courtiers take "going on the horse to govern the army, and getting off the horse to calm the people" as the criterion, and strive to be an all-round official who is allowed to be a martial artist.
In this regard, Lou Shide, who is now sitting in Anxi, is one of the leaders, Lou Shide was a minister in the past, but he went to Anxi from Rong to fight for the Tang Dynasty, and now he has achieved the protection of Anxi and tens of thousands of troops.
The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is such a courtier of Yunwen Yunwu, the so-called prime minister has the right to "decide military and state affairs", what is "military and state affairs" State affairs are government affairs, and the army is military affairs, and an official who does not know military affairs is not qualified to enter the political hall to become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Now, Empress Wu questioned the courtiers on the topic of Shuofang's predicament, although it was said that it was facing all the civil and military officials in the Vientiane Divine Palace, but in fact, it was specifically aimed at the prime ministers of the political affairs hall.
For this, both the Empress Wu and the prime ministers are well aware.
As the secretary of the Ministry of War, although Fang Yu is not the prime minister, he is the chief officer of the Ministry of War, and he is naturally within the scope of the examination school of the military queen.
He was the first to answer the question, no matter whether his strategy was feasible or not, it had the effect of throwing bricks and attracting jade, and it also avoided the cold scene, giving enough face to the martial queen, which was a bargain, and he could pass the test in confusion.
And then it's time for the prime ministers of the political hall to appear, even if they don't want to appear, don't you see the beautiful phoenix eyes of the martial queen glancing at them vigorously These old guys don't think that the martial arts queen is excited, and he falls in love with them under hunger, and intends to accept them as guests and ministers under the skirt.
They understood that this was an ultimatum from Empress Wu, suggesting that it was time for them to speak, and if they pretended to be deaf and dumb again, they didn't mind letting them go home early to retire and completely lose the opportunity to speak above the court.
When Wei Fangzhen, Cen Changqian and others were about to step forward to reply, no one expected that they would be robbed of the limelight.
"Ahem" Wu Chenghe, who is also the prime minister of the political affairs hall, moved too violently because he rushed to reply, standing there coughing vigorously, his chest rose and fell violently because of poor breathing, and his mouth made an incoherent snorting sound with intermittent coughing, as if there was a big saw struggling to see the big tree, and people were very worried when they heard it, for fear that he would not pay attention, and he would not be able to come up in one breath, and his eyes would roll over and die in this Vientiane Shrine.
Empress Wu couldn't help frowning secretly, secretly annoyed that this nephew was ignorant and had no eyesight.
Wu Chengsi is her own nephew, and she is not much younger than her in terms of age, and she knows how many catties and taels Wu Chengsi has.
Wu Chengsi is one of her pawns, and she deliberately drove a nail, an ear and an eye into the political hall.
She once warned him not to rush to fight for power and profit after entering the political hall, just listen and watch more with ears and eyes, keep an eye on every move of other prime ministers, and report back as soon as there is a disturbance.
As for counting on him to balance the power of the political hall, think about it, forget it, Wu Chengsi is not that material, and tying up eight Wu Chengsi together is not the opponent of those old foxes.
In short, as long as Wu Chengsi looks at the money and food taxes of the household department, even if he fights for his aunt, as for other things, it is good to be a good detective.
Now, I am discussing with the prime ministers about the military affairs that are related to the survival of Shuofang, and you don't know about the military affairs, so you are jumping out in a hurry However, since he jumped out, in full view of everyone, the Empress Wu couldn't scold him to go back.
Anyway, no matter how incompetent Wu Chengsi is, he is also the prime minister of the political affairs hall, so he can't stop him from talking Empress Wu glared at him fiercely, and then, half-narrowed eyes, waited for his clever plan and high insight.
Wu Chengsi gasped for a long time, and when he saw that no one was rushing to talk to him, his heart slowly calmed down, and he no longer coughed violently, took a greedy breath, and said: "The queen of enlightenment, the minister does not agree with the words of the military department's last words."
"Oh, I don't know what the martial minister thinks" Wei Fangzhi squinted his eyes and asked with interest.
"This is well known, the momentum of Mo Si is flourishing, and there are nearly 200,000 people under the account, and Shuo Fang has now become a lonely city, Qin Huaiyu does not have thousands of remnants of soldiers, how can it compete with the Mo Si army" Wu Chengsi was still a little anxious, and was not asked by Wei Fang, he sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said endlessly: "Although he defeated the Turkic little Khan Kubili before, I think it was just a sneak attack by taking advantage of Kubili's negligence, and now, Mo Si learned about this, how could he not lead troops to retaliate, maybe Shuofang had fallen at this time, and even Qin Huaiyu and the others had been wiped out.
Therefore, the minister does not approve of sending light cavalry to rush forward, in the face of the 200,000 people who control the strings silently, more than 10,000 light cavalry is just a drop in the bucket, not only can not save Qin Huaiyu, but there will be no return, which is the work of a wise man."
He shook his head, his mouth was like a river, he talked endlessly, and when he said proudly, he couldn't help but spit stars flying all over the sky, his face was colorful, and his face was radiant, but he didn't see Wei Fangzhen and other disdainful eyes and his aunt, and his pretty face was already dark Wei Fangzhi leaned sideways and bit his ears with Cen Changqian, his expression was full of contempt: "Hehe, this is the unicorn among the sons of the Wu family, I can't see the demeanor of the unicorn, but I see the true color of the pig from him." ” Cen Changqian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wu Chenghe, who was still spitting, and his eyes were full of disdain, but he was a loyal elder, so he didn't speak as harshly as Wei Fangqian, and responded in a low voice: "Isn't this exactly what we want to see?"
The two of them looked at each other, and they both let out a silent smile, and everything was silent:
