The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 197
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Qianyuan, Yan Qing led an army of [-], defeated the Qiang people, entered the territory of Nanchuanzhou of the Qiang State, and approached Huangting of the Qiang State.

Wen Liang put down the battle report and looked at the courtiers standing under the throne.

"Your Majesty, this Yan Qing disregarded the imperial decree, acted lawlessly, and secretly dispatched troops to attack the Qiang Kingdom. It is reasonable to send imperial envoys to escort her back to the capital for trial!"

A person in the court stood up and criticized Yan Qing for not ordering to attack the Qiang country.

"My minister thinks what Master Xiao said is very true."

As soon as the words fell, another person immediately stepped forward to echo, "Your Majesty, you just appointed her as the defense envoy of the three northern regions of Jingmo, in charge of the northern frontier defense military, and entrusted her with important tasks. What kind of kindness? What kind of gift? She ran back to the northern region went!"

"Now you are relying on the preferential treatment you gave her, my sage, and you are so proud of your favor. You haven't taken office for a long time without saying anything, and you even mobilized the troops of the Northwest United Defense Battalion without authorization and ran back to the western border. Now, even if you don't say hello, you hit Qiang. Go to the imperial court! She simply doesn't pay attention to you, Majesty!"

"Master Liu's words are very true. She, Yan Qing, dared to send troops to the western frontier privately today to attack the Qiang Kingdom and besiege the imperial court of the Qiang Kingdom. Wouldn't she dare to send troops to besiege Kangdu tomorrow?"

The official known as Mr. Xiao immediately followed the words of his colleagues and continued to label Yan Qing, "The example of the traitor Li Dingshan is the first example. The Holy Majesty has to guard against this!"

"What nonsense!"

Before the emperor could speak, Wang Weitao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stood up angrily, "Your Majesty, the Yan family is very loyal to His Majesty, and the whole family's loyalty has spilled blood on the battlefield. Now there is only one orphan girl left. She is still stationed at the frontier for the sake of the stability of the Holy Majesty, fighting on the battlefield. .Your Majesty, don’t listen to the villain’s words, and let the world’s capable ministers be chilled!”

"What does Master Wang mean by this?"

Xiao Lu turned to Wang Weitao with a dark face, "I just said a few words of the truth, how could I become a villain who instigated the Holy One and the world's capable ministers when Mr. Wang said it? Then Yan Qing holds a heavy soldier in his hand, and the whole of Xijiang Let her come and go, the soldiers and the people are at her disposal, only Yan Qing is known in the western border, who knows the emperor?!"

"Back then Li Dingshan was not as arrogant as her, Yan Qing, what happened later?"

Xiao Lu repeatedly questioned Wang Weitao, "Going back to Beijing without an order, leading [-] soldiers, and secretly dispatching soldiers from southern Xinjiang back to Beijing, kidnapping the family members of the ministers and raising troops to rebel! His Royal Highness Duan Wang was careful and prepared for the rainy day, so he was able to crack the imperial city. Difficulty, set things right."

"It was very easy to put down the military chaos, but because of Li Dingshan's arbitrariness in mobilizing the southern border troops, the southern border defenses were empty and the internal affairs were in a mess, allowing the Qiang thieves to take advantage of the fire. Otherwise, how could there be the current turmoil?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lu turned around and bowed to the emperor, and sternly joined in, "Your Majesty, Yan Qing's privately mobilizing troops to attack the Qiang Kingdom must be investigated! Otherwise, no one in the world will take the laws of the country seriously. Generals don't pay attention to military discipline and law, the world is bound to be in chaos!"

"Alarmist!"

Wang Weitao sneered, and retorted, "Did you, Xiao Lu, forget that when your relatives were captured, who rescued them? Now the Holy One is grateful that you were a capable minister left by the late emperor, and did not hold you accountable for being coerced and compromised by the thief. With regard to Li Dingshan, now you are the hero who led the troops to quell the rebellion and turned the tide of the war by yourself? What is your intention?!"

Hearing Wang Weitao's sudden mention of his compromising with Li Dingshan, Xiao Lu's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat rolled down his back.

At this time, the emperor just said slowly: "If Wang Aiqing doesn't mention it, I will almost forget it. Except for Xiao Aiqing, Liu Aiqing and your family seem to be saved because of Yan Qing."

This time not only Xiao Lu, but also Liu Dexian, who had stood up to support Xiao Lu just now, was also breaking out in a cold sweat, for fear that the emperor would settle accounts after the fall.

At the beginning Li Dingshan was coerced by his officials and relatives, they relied on the law to not blame the public and were forced by others, so they confessed with a foolish mind.

Anyway, even if Li Dingshan succeeds in the rebellion, he will be taking advantage of Wen Zhemao's influence, and it will be Wen Zhemao who will ascend the throne at that time.

The Wen family has nothing to do with their own affairs.

Anyway, Wen Zhemao just wanted them to shut up, and when the change of dynasty was successful, even if they changed their black hats, they would still be able to fish as they should.

If the change of dynasty is unsuccessful, so many courtiers have signed the agreement, even if the emperor wants to liquidate in the end, it is impossible to drag everyone out and cut them off.

Li Dingshan and Wen Zhemao had operated in the court for many years. When Wen Zhemao and Li Dingshan fell from power, those who directly participated in the rebellion, Wen Zhemao and Li Dingshan's party members in the court, were almost slaughtered.

The entire court hall was one-third empty in an instant. Those old acquaintances were now all new faces who had just been recruited by the new department.

Even if Jinke has just recruited people to come in, there is still a shortage of manpower, especially expatriates.

They bet at the beginning that it was impossible for the emperor to liquidate everyone.

They were indeed betting right.

The emperor didn't dare to be in the country because it was in a crisis. When he needed to employ people, he eliminated all the veterans and replaced them with inexperienced newcomers.

But not everyone can be eliminated, but it doesn't mean that the emperor really doesn't care about it.

When this group of newcomers got up, and new people came in, the emperor would think of this incident again, and they would definitely not be able to eat well.

At first, everyone tacitly didn't want to mention this matter, and let time play down this matter. By the way, take advantage of this time to get closer to the newcomers, so as not to be caught by surprise by the emperor.

But who would have thought that Wang Weitao, an old man, would mention this at this point in time!

Xiao Lu and Liu Dexian couldn't stop cursing Wang Weitao in their hearts, but they heard the emperor say quietly: "I remember, in this court, many family members of the Qing family were rescued because of the girl of the Yan family, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the whispers in the entire court disappeared immediately, and needles could be heard dropping in the Golden Luan Hall.

Not only Xiao Lu and Liu Dexian, but almost half of the people in court scolded Wang Weitao for being nosy and outspoken!
He is co-authoring because he is the future father-in-law of Duan Wang, and his family has been protected by Duan Wang in advance, and he has no handle in other people's hands, so let's put it here to pretend to be clean?
In the entire court, he is the most affectionate, righteous, and noble, and they are all ungrateful and selfish?

When the ministers were dissatisfied, Xiao Lu quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced at Xu Xiangfeng who was standing by in the court hall from the corner of his eye.

Xu Xiangfeng only lowered his head and half-closed his eyes, as if all the disputes in court had nothing to do with him.

But come to think of it.

His daughter is the Queen, and his grandson is King Duan. Whether there are other relatives, not only is there no way to be caught, but the only grandson is also a hero who put down the rebellion, and is the prince who is most likely to ascend the throne.

Of course he can sit back and relax.

With just one glance, Xiao Lu knew that it was impossible to expect Xu Xiangfeng, an old trickster, to come out and say something at this moment.
