The court meeting to discuss the response to the Liao people was held for three consecutive days.From morning to evening, from evening to dawn, and so on.Except for the first morning, Concubine Ji also showed some anxiety, but for more than two days, Concubine Ji was like a bystander, just sitting in front of the stage, quietly listening to everyone's chatter.At first, everyone didn't care, but it was just a frustration of Concubine Ji in desperation.And this matter is just like Li Danqing's analysis, it is related to the core interests between the prince's party and the second prince's party, and the two sides are naturally unwilling to back down at all, and they quarrel day and night.But as time passed, the crowd was a little overwhelmed.It's not that they put much pressure on each other, but although Concubine Ji didn't stop the dispute between the two sides, she gave a death order, so that they must negotiate a result, otherwise no one can leave the palace.The civil and military officials ate and drank Lazar in this palace, except for the fact that Gong could leave for a while, and the rest of the time had to stay in this Xiangfeng Palace.The three days of sleepless work have finally worn off some of the sharpness of the two sides with their own thoughts.On the third day, even Xiang Luowen and Lu Shenji, who had the most momentum before, became weak.After another period of disagreement that had been repeated many times, both sides fell silent, and everyone knew that if they continued to quarrel like this, they would talk for another ten days and half a month, and there would still be no result.Senior Concubine Ji, who was sitting on the stage, looked at the people who suddenly fell silent, and the corners of her mouth suddenly outlined a smile: "Why didn't you say it?"
”"It's about Wuyang Sheji and the well-being of all the people, but we can't tolerate a little sloppiness, you should discuss and discuss again, how should you deal with this matter?"
When everyone heard this, their faces were bitter, they looked at each other, and after a long time, Xiang Luowen looked at Concubine Ji and said: "Eldest princess, the old ministers have been discussing for several days, but there is still no good plan, the old minister is old and dull, and his body is not as good as before, and the eldest princess can let the old minister go back to rest for a while, and then come to give advice to the eldest princess." ”Lu Shenji, who was beside him, heard that although he had never dealt with Xiang Luowen, and even wanted to put the other party to death, this time, he did surprisingly agree with Xiang Liuwen's proposal.At that time, he stepped forward and said: "What the Lord of the Xiang Mansion said is extremely true, it is not a way to go on like this, and I also ask the eldest princess to let the ministers wait to go back and rest for a few days before making a decision." ”When a large number of officials from the three governments and nine divisions behind him heard this, they also hurriedly stepped forward and chimed in: "The ministers seconded the proposal. ”In the face of the proposal of the ministers, this mighty scene, there was really a bit of a situation where Concubine Ji did not allow it today, and they couldn't afford to kneel.Senior Concubine Ji narrowed her eyes, remembering the conversation with Li Danqing two days ago - she suddenly stood up and raised her voice by a few points: "You Aiqing want to rest!"
”"Have you ever wondered if the armor soldiers on the Dragon Martial Pass are resting?""
They are deployed at the border pass, and they are facing the Liao people who are sharpening their knives.""
Their lives are now in our hands, waiting for us to give them advice!
You move your lips at this time, and they have to fight with their lives, to fill in!
”"Can you rest in peace?"
When these words came out, everyone's faces changed.It's not because what Concubine Ji said made them feel a little ashamed in their hearts, in fact, after so many years of ups and downs in this court, these guys have already cultivated a layer of iron-clad skin, and they will definitely not be ashamed because of a few words from others.They were simply amazed that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had suddenly become aggressive."
Of course!"
But at this time, Senior Concubine Ji's tone softened again, and she continued: "I also know that you have actually exhausted your thoughts, but because the situation is too serious, you can't think of a perfect plan for a while. ”"It's better to do this, this palace has an idea, and you can see how it goes."
Concubine Ji said again, such a change of attitude before and after, where can everyone not hear it, this is clearly a big stick in one hand and a radish in the other.But firstly, it was fruitless to go on like this, and secondly, Senior Concubine Ji's attitude was too tough, and both sides fell silent at this time, just staring straight at Senior Concubine Ji.Seeing that there was no one to refute, Concubine Ji continued: "You guys just think that mobilizing the Jingshi will cost money and consume food, but if you don't do this, it will make it difficult for the imperial court to solve the problem when the war on the border passes changes. ”"I don't think it's a trick, but it's not to be careless.""
It's better to send 100,000 Qinglong troops from the Beijing division to the border pass, and then send 200,000 soldiers and horses from southern Xinjiang to go together, of course, the money and food required for the mobilization of soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang, the imperial court can spend part of it, but the other part has to be brought forward by southern Xinjiang.""
I wonder if you are satisfied with this arrangement?"
Xiang Luowen and Lu Shenji frowned when they heard this, this is actually a way to make peace with the mud, both sides contribute money and efforts, and they have the means to restrain each other, which does not break the delicate balance between each other, but also ensures the war on the Longwu Pass.It was certainly not the outcome they most wanted, but it was one that they could grudgingly accept.And although Senior Concubine Ji didn't have much performance in the past few days, everyone could feel the determination of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess at this moment, and after thinking about it slightly.Xiang Luowen and Lu Shenji both arched their hands towards Concubine Ji and said, "Then do it according to the will of the eldest princess." ”"But after all, the 300,000 troops come from two parts, and if they want to cooperate seamlessly on the battlefield, they probably need an experienced commander to unify the dispatch."
And at this moment, an old voice suddenly came.Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all looked sideways, but they saw that the person who spoke was actually the chief secretary of the Tianjian Division.The expressions on everyone's faces became a little strange at that time.The great priest had been in front of the ancestral temple before, and his sudden intervention in the battle for the heir had already made both the crown prince and the second prince jealous, but the development of the matter was too unexpected, and everyone had no heart to pay attention to him.At this moment, he made another abnormal speech, but everyone was more and more unsure of what the purpose of this great priest was, and which side he was on in his heart."
The Southern Xinjiang Qubu and the Qinglong Army belong to two systems, whether it is the living habits or the tactics of combat, there is a world of difference, the war on the Longwu Pass is tight, I'm afraid there is no time to let the two armies with completely different combat styles work together, right?
In my opinion, it is better to fight separately and cooperate with each other, which is not a bad way. ”Lu Shenji said at this time, his face was not good, and he was full of hostility towards Yin Wujiang's sudden disturbance.Whether it is the army in southern Xinjiang or the Qinglong army that has been confirmed to be transferred to Longwu Pass, it is an indispensable hole card in their hands for both sides of the game above the court, once one of the hole cards gets out of control, the fragile balance between the two sides will be broken in an instant.Putting such an important bargaining chip in the hands of someone who doesn't know the details is an unacceptable outcome for both parties.Therefore, after Lu Shenji objected, Xiang Liuwen also said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that what the Lord of the Lu Mansion said is extremely true, this matter is related to the safety of Wuyang Sheji, and it must not be a child's play." ”"Yin Siming, there is a specialization in the art industry, these things should be left to us."
Xiang Liuwen's words were already extremely explicit, and he did not hide the threat and hostility of Yin Wujiang.Hearing this, Yin Wujiang just stood silently in place, looking up at Concubine Ji, as if waiting for something.Of course, Concubine Ji understood what he meant.But she was a little surprised in her heart, she had also heard about some deeds about this great priest, but whether it was speaking at this moment, or outside the temple a few days ago, this great priest showed suspicious protection for Li Danqing.This is something that almost everyone never expected.At this moment, these words are even more so......
"I think Yin Siming's words are not unreasonable. ”Concubine Ji thought secretly in her heart, but said so in her mouth."
There is a way that the three armies cannot be without a handsome, although I don't understand the truth of this march and fight, but I know how important the order and prohibition are for an army, if a group of scattered sand goes to Longwu Pass, not only can not help the defenders on Longwu Pass, maybe it will also add chaos, the lord of Xiahou Mansion commands the army of my Wuyang world, I want to be more insightful about this way, why don't you tell me your opinion?"
Concubine Ji said this, turned her head and looked at Xiahou Boyang on the side.Xiahou Boyang is a master who knows how to see the wind and rudder, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Of course, of course."
The eldest princess has always been smart, even if she has not experienced this in the past, but with her extraordinary wisdom, she can say it in one sentence, which really makes Weichen admire. ”Xiahou Boyang's flattery was naturally despised by everyone.But Xiahou Boyang didn't care at all, just looked at Concubine Ji with a flattering face.Senior Concubine Ji nodded with satisfaction, and he retreated with a happy face.Seeing this, Lu Shenji and Xiang Luowen's hearts tightened, and they hurriedly stepped forward, and they were about to say something, but before the words could be spoken, they were interrupted by Senior Concubine Ji raising her hand: "I know all of your worries. ”"I'm afraid that these two groups of people will not cooperate with each other in a short period of time, and it will be self-defeating.""
But I think it's because of this that we need to find an experienced descender to lead these two groups of men in order to be foolproof.""
You can tell me who you think is the right person."
When these words came out, Lu Shenji and Xiang Luowen both looked strange.They all knew that the other party would try their best to block the candidates they could propose, and only the candidates that Concubine Ji said could make it possible for both parties to rest assured for the time being.Both of them were also smart people, and they were silent at that time, just looking at Concubine Ji quietly.Seeing this, Concubine Ji smiled, and she said, "Since neither of you will say anything, then I will throw bricks and lead the jade." ”"I thought that Li Danqing and Li Shizi, who had defeated the 400,000 Youyun army in Yingshui County by himself, would be able to take on this great task."
