Chapter 660 Around the Fall

in the palace.

In the pear orchard.

After the emperor went to the front court, the noble concubine seemed to have her soul taken away, lying lazily on the couch, not wanting to do anything, not wanting to think about anything.

Jiao Li sat on the couch with half of her buttocks sideways, and lightly tapped the imperial concubine's back.

"Heavier."

The imperial concubine hummed softly.

Her flesh is thick, too little force is just nowhere near itching.

Jiao Li increased her strength, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty hasn't been to court for a long time, and I'm quite happy to see it today."

"Huang Chunfei rebelled against His Majesty, and there are not many people who oppose him in Northern Xinjiang. Hey! They are all thieves. Now that the thieves are in trouble, His Majesty is naturally happy."

Jiao Li was stunned, but felt that she should be in line with her master, so she concealed a smile, "So, I'm afraid that the courtiers in the court will object."

She is just a female official in the palace, but she knows that she should put aside her previous suspicions and personal grievances in such matters, and those important ministers should do the same!

The imperial concubine moved her body, her buttocks trembled, and said lazily: "Your courtiers need to speak frankly, but speaking frankly depends on the timing.

When it is innocuous, for example, if His Majesty builds a palace, His Majesty rewards whoever is more, at this time, it is not easy for His Majesty to deal with him.

In this way, you get a good reputation.

But at this time, everyone knows what His Majesty is thinking, and speaking out will offend His Majesty.And it can't be exchanged for a good reputation, why bother? "

"Is that so?" Jiao Li's three views collapsed in an instant, "It turns out that those so-called straight ministers are mostly trying to lose their reputations?"

"What do you think?" The imperial concubine smiled while laying on her stomach, "If you are a real direct minister, you should speak out on matters that affect Tang Guozuo, instead of making trivial matters to invite yourself.

Is it stupid to build a palace?Who is the fool who rewards?

All the monarchs and ministers know, no.However, the minister wants to invite the name, and the king wants the virtuous name, so everyone is happy. "

Jiao Li suddenly stood up and prostrated herself, "Thank you for your teaching, Madam."

The imperial concubine was still lying on her stomach, and said lazily: "Yesterday, that bitch's loyal dog pretended to fall and almost hurt me. You were the one who stood in front of me without thinking about your body. Naturally, I will remind people who are loyal to me. Give her a good future."

Jiao Li lowered her head, "Thank you, Ma'am."

However, isn't it a major event affecting Tang Guozuo that the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty went south?
What are those ministers thinking?
……

In the hall, everyone slowly looked at Zhang Huan.

This former Southern Border Jiedu envoy, who was wise enough to protect himself and only wanted to provide for his retirement, was standing there with a calm look on his face.

But, everyone knows that he is poking the emperor's lung tube right now!
Zhang Huan!

Do you have such courage?

The emperor stood in front of the throne, overlooking Zhang Huan.

Zhang Huan remained motionless.

It's like a sculpture.

With a pull of the emperor's hand, the string of the jade pendant tied around his waist was torn off, and the hard jade pendant was held in his hand.

That slight voice was extremely clear in the quiet hall at the moment.

The emperor's anger swept silently.

"Zhang Qing!"

The emperor's voice was as indifferent as a god.

Coercion is invisible, but omnipresent.

Zhang Huan raised his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have been in the army for many years and know these things. The frontier generals dare not lie about these things. Beiliao has moved frequently this year. This is a sentinel and a test. Prepare for the big battle. Now that the secret spies in northern Xinjiang have found out the movement of the army, then this battle is inevitable!"

He stood there, looking very lonely under the gaze of the emperor.

The sun shone in from outside the hall, covering him.

A figure stepped into the light.

It is Luo Cai, Minister of the Ministry of officials.

Luo Cai said, "Your Majesty, the memorial to Northern Xinjiang was not only written by Huang Chunhui, but also by Liao Jin and Liu Qing. Huang Chunhui may have lied, but Liao Jin and Liu Qing couldn't! I advise you to make preparations that morning. !"

The emperor's eyes became more and more calm.

Another figure stepped into the light.

"Your Majesty, I think you should make preparations in the morning!"

"His Majesty!"

One after another figure walked in.

One by one the courtiers spoke.

Yang Songcheng looked at these people... Most of them didn't have much background, not from his lineage, nor from the leftist Chen Shen.

These people are called lonely ghosts, and they can't tell when they become cannon fodder for struggle.Therefore, they are very cautious on weekdays, not to offend all parties.

But at this moment, these courtiers who were regarded as cannon fodder bravely stood up.

Zhang Huan, synonymous with being wise and protecting one's life.

The same goes for these people.

But when it was about Tang Guozuo, it was this group of people who stood up first.

Han Shitou took a look and lowered his head.

Cover up the sadness in your eyes.

This Tang!
Even at this time, there are still countless people with lofty ideals running for it!
What would happen if Lang Jun was on that throne?
If not, he will choose to conquer by himself and fight Helian Feng.

But right now, this old dog is thinking about some foolish thoughts.As for the personal conquest, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare.

Old dog!

Han Shishi clenched his fists tightly.

All the monarchs and ministers saw his action.

The big man in the palace was angry because the emperor was persecuted by the officials.

It really is a loyal dog!

"understood."

The emperor dropped three short words and left in a hurry.

With these three words, the Ministry of War can go to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households in an open and honest manner to ask for money, food and weapons for northern Xinjiang.

dispersed.

At this time, we can see how many cronies there are in the DPRK.

Yang Songcheng's group, Chen Shen's group, Liang Jing's group...the rest are trash.

Today, these miscellaneous fish are calling for friends, looking excited, or talking about the past in a tragic way.

Zhang Huan was alone.

"Zhang Xiang."

Liang Jing chased after him.

"Ok!"

Zhang Huan turned around.

The two walked side by side.

After walking for a while, Liang Jing sighed, "Actually, it's just a few days later."

"You have been in the military department for a long time. You should know that the outcome of a big battle can be decided in one or two days. Many times, I wish I could wait for one or two more hours..."

In this regard, Liang Jing is not qualified to discuss with Zhang Huan.

"Master Zhang has nothing to do with the world...why did he suddenly come out today?" Liang Jing asked this question for the sake of the emperor.

Zhang Huan suddenly became violent, what does this mean?
The key is whether there is any motivation behind it, or who is driving it.

"The old man knows that many people are guessing who the old man has become an ally with, or that the old man is showing favor to the northern border. In this way, both the southern and northern borders have a good impression of the old man, and it can be said that they are earning a lot of money."

Liang Jing shook his head, "I know Zhang Xiang is not this kind of person."

But Zhang Huan offended the emperor after all.

"Zhang Xiang is very different from the past today. Is there a reason?" Liang Jing firmly believes that there is a motive behind everything.

So, what is Zhang Huan's motivation for taking the risk?
Zhang Huan stopped.

Open up.

"When I was in the army, I swore that I would fight for the glory of the Tang Dynasty in this life. Later, I gradually learned to fight like a dog, and learned to protect myself wisely. I will still protect myself wisely in the future. But today I can't. If I don't show up today..."

"What is Zhang Xiang afraid of?" Liang Jing asked.

Zhang Huan said: "I am afraid of seeing the cavalry of foreign races in Chang'an, and afraid of seeing my ancestors after death. My ancestors asked, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, how is the Tang Dynasty now? Have you ever made foreign races bow down? How should I deal with it?"

Liang Jing was shocked.

Zhang Huan smiled, "I want to protect my life wisely because I want to live a stable life, and because those things haven't touched a thing of this old man."

"What?" Liang Jing felt that he was about to get the answer.

Zhang Huan pointed to his chest, "Conscience!"

……

Word spread quickly.

Sister Huang went to buy vegetables, and when she heard the news at the vegetable market, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Will you call?"

A few women stood beside the meat stand and murmured, and a woman said: "It is said that the emperor of Beiliao wants to personally conquer!"

"Isn't it the power of the whole country to conquer the royal family?" Huang Damei was startled.

"Yeah! We can't handle a million troops!"

"Hey! Your accent is from the north. How about the Northern Army?"

Big Sister Huang was in a state of confusion, "I don't know, but in the past, it looked very powerful! But no matter how powerful it is, Beiliao is also powerful!" She was suddenly overjoyed, "Your Majesty can also conquer by himself!"

King against king, who is afraid of whom?

"Hey!" Several women smiled, and one of them lowered his voice, "Don't dream, our Majesty, he is having a hot fight with his daughter-in-law in the pear orchard! How could he kiss Zheng?"

"That's not true! Besides, His Majesty has never fought before. No matter how stupid people are, they know what kind of people do what. If you ask a tailor to plant the land, can he plant it well?"

"That's right. Your Majesty! I think playing with women is the best!"

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are tough, and the main duty of Jingtai is to monitor powerful officials. As for the complaints of the people, there is no such manpower, and there is no need for this.

This is the rule of the year... No matter how the emperor will not be yelled at by the people, will he be condemned unanimously?

With this cognition, the authority of the stage is locked.

"You..." Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Huang Damei prepared to go back with a vegetable basket on her shoulders.

"What a power! If he is good at playing with women, why did he have four sons?"

"The people in the palace are all beauties, and they are all fertile fields, but they just can't give birth, so it's not good!"

Daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and a tight family situation made the women who struggled for pennies and bahts feel overwhelmed and stressed.And they have a lot of free time, and they are bored after finishing the housework, so they find a few women to be bored together.

Chatting and gossip is their only pastime.

Talk about being refreshed and happy, and then go home and cook.

One day passed like this.

Huang Damei thinks that she will be like this in her future life: Li Er strikes iron, she takes care of the house, does housework every day, and chats with the women in the alley when she is free.Going home, listening to the sound of iron strikes, it was another day like this.

Maybe boring, but peace of mind.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Walking into the alley, you can hear the sound of iron striking.

Huang Damei, who was disturbed by the words of several women just now, heard this voice, and her heart was settled at once.

It seems that even if there is a strong wind and waves outside, they can't get here.

In the alleys, old people are sitting outside their homes, chatting every sentence with their neighbors.

"Big sister is back?"

"Hey! I'm back."

"What did sister buy?"

"I bought some pig meat and some vegetables."

"Your Li Er has been working so hard, why didn't you think of buying some medicine for him? What... Huichun Pill."

"My lord, why didn't you buy it?"

"Old man...Old man..."

"Hahahaha!"

Huang Damei entered the blacksmith shop amidst the laughter of the neighbors.

King Wei is forging iron.

The naked upper body seems to have fewer muscles, but it looks more and more smooth.

Every time the hammer goes down, sparks are scattered.

"If you strike iron now, I can't even hear the difference in sound."

Big Sister Huang said happily.

When blacksmithing has reached the level, the strength and angle of each hammer are similar, and the sound is also similar.

Then every time the hammer goes down, the sound is obviously different, it is a novice.

King Wei threw the hoe blank into the stove, raised his head and asked, "Why are you coming back late?"

Huang Damei said: "Today, many people are talking about the emperor's personal conquest by the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty. They also said that the emperor is incompetent, and there are people in Chang'an who hold back the northern border. Husband, tell me, will it be defeated?"

King Wei was startled, "No!"

"That's good."

After lunch, Miss Huang went to rest.

King Wei said: "Last time someone wanted to make more than a dozen horizontal knives, but there was no news. I'll go ask in the afternoon."

Ms. Huang covered her mouth and yawned, "Just ask, if he doesn't like it, don't force it. We have to make money to be happy."

"understood."

……

The news from Jingtai came a few days later than that from Beijiang.

He Lianfeng's royal conquest!
The news prevented the emperor from hiding in the pear garden, singing, dancing and playing with women, so he summoned his ministers to discuss the battle.

"Beiliao claims to have an army of 50, and it's coming in mighty strength. The forward is still on the way."

Although the news from the mirror stage came late, it was rich.

"Lin Ya and others are with the army."

The emperor said indifferently: "This is to bring the disaster with me, and consume the opponent's strength by the way."

Playing this, the emperor said that he was the second in the world, and no one dared to call himself the first.

Both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households came today with the Minister and the Minister.

Zhang Huan said: "When there is a big war, it will be difficult to transport food, grass and supplies to the rear. Therefore, the Ministry of Household Affairs should order the prefectures and counties close to northern Xinjiang to transfer money and food to northern Xinjiang. The sooner the better."

"So, who will fill it?" asked a servant of the household department.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, Zheng Yuandong came forward, "Naturally, the Ministry of Households will fill in."

"However, several places in the Tang Dynasty suffered poor harvests last year, and the household department did not have any surplus food."

"nonsense!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Liang Jing.

How did I slip up... Liang Jing glanced at the emperor, and said bravely, "The war in northern Xinjiang is urgent!"

Zheng Yuandong took a look at him: You sycophant, do you know the overall situation?
Liang Jing glanced at him: If it wasn't for the confinement of identity, I would let you know what a man is!

Yang Songcheng said flatly: "There is a lot of food in northern Xinjiang, and the weapons are not bad..."

"Your Majesty, King Wei asks to see you." A servant came in and reported.

"Why is he here?" the emperor nodded.

King Wei came in.

"Aye."

"What are you doing here?" the emperor asked coldly.

King Wei said: "I have stayed in northern Xinjiang for several years, and I know the truth and falsehood of northern Xinjiang..."

"Then tell me."

King Wei said: "The northern border is bitterly cold and the terrain is flat. Once it is besieged, the food roads will inevitably be cut off. If there is insufficient food and grass, the city must be destroyed, or..."

"Or what?" Zheng Qi asked a little annoyed.

King Wei looked at him, "The sons of the city will eat each other."

There was a sensation in the court.

This is the proof from King Wei.

Northern Xinjiang urgently needs the support of money, food and other materials!

"Baby, leave."

King Wei said what he should say, and then left.

He didn't even care about the indifferent gaze of the supreme being following him.

Everyone watched him leave the hall, with various thoughts in their hearts.

King Wei testified that if Yang Songcheng dared to prevaricate, if the northern border army was defeated due to lack of food and supplies, the emperor would throw the blame on Yang's head, and the anger of the people in the world would make Yang's sleepless nights.

Yang Songcheng asked: "What is the goal of Beiliao?"

The person on the stage said: "The horse steps on Chang'an!"

"When did the war start?" asked the emperor.

"About autumn."

……

Ask for votes.
