Chapter 768 Full court hooligans
Dai Zhou knocked on the table.
"My lords, let's discuss things one by one. Zhang Xiang got the news from the sage in the palace. This matter can't be false and can't be wrong. Now we don't want to doubt, but how to deal with the aftermath."
"Why should we wipe the **** of the surnamed Qin? We should ask his crimes and dismiss him from office, discuss his crimes one by one, and deal with him as we want, and never let him go lightly!" Hou Junji has always been at odds with Qin Lang, It's a rare opportunity, how can I let it go.
Wei Zheng said, "To fight without declaring, to attack without reason, and to rob the alliance for a surprise attack, Qin Lang has lost the style of a prime minister, and what he did has damaged the prestige and faith of our Tang Dynasty. Immediately order Qin Lang to release the spring cover." Su Wen and other Goguryeo officials detained by the Jiemeng, secondly, should return the captured Beisha City by surprise attack, and release the kidnapped Goguryeo people..."
He didn't finish his words, but Yu Chigong stared at him immediately.
"Are you sick? Is there any reason to spit out the fat in your mouth? Although I don't know what trick Qin Lang used to seize Beisha City, I know the importance of Beisha City. You know the normal situation for such a city. How many people will die in order to attack? At least 10,000 lives must be used to fill it, and it must be the lives of elite soldiers."
"Since Qin Lang has taken it down, there is absolutely no reason to return it. Not only can it not be returned, but troops must be sent to reinforce the garrison immediately!"
"What about benevolence and righteousness? What about trustworthiness?" Wei Zheng looked contemptuous, "Forget righteousness for profit, and resort to military force, you warriors!" Wei Zheng was not polite when he sprayed people.
"Without us warriors who founded the country through hundreds of battles, how could there be peace in this world? How could you, Wei Laodao, sit here today in purple robes and jade belts as the prime minister? He, your mother, is still a wandering Taoist priest, setting up stalls and doing fortune-telling to cheat money to make ends meet Well." While speaking, he raised his fist as big as a casserole, wishing he could hit Old Wei directly.
"Rude, reckless man! A man cannot stand without trust, and a country will decline without trust! A man must be trustworthy, and a country must be trustworthy!"
Fang Xuanling looked at the noisy prime ministers, but secretly thought about the explosive news.
Why did the emperor not convene a court meeting immediately this time when such a big incident happened, or was it right? But just let Zhang Liang come to pass orders and discuss political affairs?
For such an important matter, under normal circumstances, shouldn’t it be an immediate imperial meeting, or even an expanded court meeting? Under normal circumstances, the emperor would even directly deal with it.
But there are none now. The emperor asked Zhang Liang to preside over the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, saying that he wanted them to discuss.
If you can't do things, you can't do things in vain.
Although Fang Xuanling was previously dismissed as Prime Minister of March, he is still the prime minister with the most stable position in the political affairs hall. The key is that Fang Xuanling always considers things from the emperor's point of view when doing things.
Just like this thing in front of you.
I heard that the emperor was very angry, but why is there only thunder and rain?
Why didn't he give Niu Jinda or Qin Lang an order immediately?
After thinking about it, he felt that he had vaguely grasped the key point.
Qin Lang's behavior may have angered the emperor, especially the matter of being good at mobilizing troops and horses, but the result of what Qin Lang did may be in line with the emperor's wishes.
Captured Long Island and captured Beisha.
The emperor may not be allowed to spit out this piece of fat.
If it was just a long island, Qin Lang probably wouldn't be able to pass the test, but when he won a sufficiently attractive Beisha City, the Holy Son of Heaven was unwilling to spit out this piece of fat.
This piece of fat is so fat that the emperor's heart is moved.
Three expeditions to Liaodong in the previous dynasties, **** served as Minister of the Weiwei Temple, in charge of the country's weapons, and was also responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. Although the current emperor was young at that time, he had already followed him to Liaodong. The emperor was very aware of the threat of Koguryo in Liaodong to the Tang Dynasty, and naturally he was very aware of the importance of cities like Beisha City.
Even a fierce general like Yu Chigong was unwilling to give up this unexpected Beisha, and neither was the emperor.
If you want to understand this, then you will have the direction of the next discussion.
Fang Xuanling coughed twice.
"Gentlemen, I think the current situation is not the time to investigate who is right and who is wrong, but to deal with it first. In any case, Tang Dynasty should not start a full-scale war with Goguryeo now. The court has no such plan or preparation. , so we must immediately make peace with the Goguryeo people."
"Peace negotiation?" Yu Chigong yelled loudly, "Since Beisha has been captured, the fight has already begun, so let's go straight to it, recruit soldiers and horses, mobilize food and grass, and fight!"
Fang Xuanling ignored this old black.
I have been the governor of Xiangzhou for several years, and it is said that I do nothing. I study pills with a few Taoist priests all day long and practice longevity. You have already practiced longevity, so you just stay in Xiangzhou and continue to practice. You still ran back to the court to be some kind of prime minister.
Didn’t you, Yu Chigong, donate thousands of dollars of money to build Taoist temples and alchemy furnaces for Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain? You can just become a Taoist priest and practice.
Let’s forget about this matter, Datang will not return Beisha City, and the Goguryeo people who were sold as slaves will not return, and the matter ends here.
Wei Zheng despised this kind of behavior.
Why are they all hooligans?
What about benevolence, morality, and credit?
Goguryeo is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Is there any suzerain country that actively bullies the vassal state? If you do this, who will dare to be Datang's younger brother again? Who is still willing to believe in Datang?
Retreat, must retreat, must retreat, Wei Zheng believes that all the invaded lands such as Beisha and Changdao should be returned, and the Goguryeo people who were taken away should be returned, and they should be compensated. This is the suzerain state The way it should be.
As the instigator, Qin Lang must be severely punished.
"Since Beisha City is in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, there is no reason to return it. I also agree with Fang Xiang. I can give the Goguryeo people some compensation in other aspects. Even if I reward them with a sum of money, it is fine to buy Beisha City. In short Definitely not going back."
"Even if the Goguryeo people want to fight, there is no need to be afraid. They are fighting with Silla now. They are not capable of fighting on two fronts. If they really want to fight, we are not afraid at all. We just took care of Goguryeo, so as not to raise tigers. Fight early Clean it up!" The right servant shot Gao Shilian finally united with Fang Xuanling.
Finally, they discussed all afternoon, but there was no unified result. Zhang Liang, as the prime minister who held the pen, was responsible for sorting out and reviewing the meeting minutes.
The official behind the hall is responsible for making written records of the meeting, Zhang Liang is responsible for reviewing, and finally signs with Zhengshitang pen, and then submits to the emperor.
"Isn't there a unified opinion in the Zhengshitang?"
After reading it, Li Shimin asked dissatisfied.
Zhang Liang had no choice but to answer truthfully, "Fang Xiang, Gao Xiang, Ma Xianggong, Yuchi Xianggong, and Dai Xianggong all think that the aftermath should be dealt with first, and that Beisha City should be controlled by Datang. Shacheng established Andong Dadu Protectorate, Beisha established Jinzhou, and under it there were three counties: Jin County, Dashi County, and Duli County."
Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, this proposal made Li Shimin's eyes shine.
It seems that there are quite a few prime ministers in the DPRK and China who support the swallowing of this piece of fat, which makes Li Shimin's heart moved. He also intended to swallow this piece of meat before, but he couldn't say it directly, so he wanted to see the attitude of the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang first.
Now there is controversy in the Zhengshitang, which is a good thing, and the ideas put forward by Fang Xuanling and others are in line with his intentions.
As for Hou Junji's clamor to punish Qin Lang's crimes, and Wei Zheng's claim that the Tang Dynasty was unrighteous, Li Shimin did not comment.
The imperial court already has three major guard houses in Anxi, South, An and North, and it would be good to set up another guard house in Andong. To set up the Andong Protectorate, let Niu Jinda be the governor of the Andong Protectorate and the governor of Jinzhou."
Although there was only one character missing, the level immediately dropped a lot.
Daduhu and Dadudu are at the same level, and they are both important positions of the second rank, but the position of the Duhu is higher than that of the middle governor, and it is a third-rank position. The history of the governor of the capital of Youzhou is from the third rank, which is the same level as the governor of Youzhou.
But this Anton Governor's Governor Shi is only a fifth-rank official, and the governor of Jinzhou, as the Xiazhou governor, is only a fourth-rank official.
Niu Jinda was undoubtedly demoted, and he was demoted several levels, and he was demoted three levels in a row. Undoubtedly, it was a severe punishment for Niu Jinda's unauthorized sending of troops.
The governor of Youzhou Metropolitan Government and the Governor of Youzhou is not only an official of the third rank, but also acts as the governor of the governor. He is definitely the one with the most real power in the third rank.
"As for Qin Lang!"
Li Shimin tapped on the table lightly, feeling a little hard to make a decision for a while. Qin Lang smashed Changdao, captured Beisha, beheaded thousands of Goguryeo soldiers, captured tens of thousands of Goguryeo people, but suffered only a hundred casualties. This is definitely a rare victory.
It is indeed a miracle to suppress Goguryeo.
But Qin Lang shouldn't kill first and play later, which made Li Shimin very dissatisfied.
After much deliberation, Li Shimin thought that Qin Lang still had to warn him.
"Stop Qin Lang with the title of Prime Minister of Pingzhang under Zhongshumen, downgrade to special promotion, and fine him a salary for one year, order him to quickly hand over the affairs of Beisha, and continue his southern tour."
In a word, the emperor gave Qin Lang's chancellor again, but in the end he hesitated, and kept the inspector Sikong who was added back last time. Division, downgraded to the second grade special entry.
This is a serious warning to Qin Lang, warning him that his actions have seriously exceeded his authority in some places. Even if Qin Lang does have double banners and double festivals, has the privilege of inheriting the system and worshiping the title, and acting cheaply, this time still makes the emperor extremely dissatisfied.
On that day, the emperor secretly visited the Shenji Battalion in Zhongnan Mountain, and decreed that the Shenji Battalion should be promoted to the left and right Shenji Army, and expanded to 3,000 people each. He received many rewards from the officers and men of the Shenji Army.
As for the three hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who accompanied Qin Lang, they were even rewarded by the emperor's order.
The emperor also personally inspected the test firing of the magic cannon, magic gun, and magic arrow that day, and even picked up the fire gun and fired two shots in person, very satisfied.
