Need for a Guard

"Old rascal Bai, are you making a big fuss?"

Xiao Yan was angry in his heart, he snorted coldly and stood up, acting high-spirited, wondering in his heart, fuck, I also lost money and apologized, and I also knelt down to the emperor with a low profile, and let you steal the words of the talented man Reward, let you pretend to be good people, what else do you want?

Damn, why don't you tell Yangyang Dayan what to say, old bastard, can you stop messing around, this kind of fight between soldiers and wits has happened frequently from ancient times to the present, and it has never been dealt with so severely. About the city guard, is he going to give Dayan an explanation?

Damn it, you're screwing me to death.

"What? Baldy Xiao, haven't you realized the seriousness of the situation?"

Bai Mochou said: "The Nine-Men City Guard has a fine tradition, and the reputation of being a hero has spread all over the world. The imperial court has repeatedly commended the Nine-Men City Guard. Don't worry about the prime minister governing the military and government, letting the nine gate city guards be independent of the Privy Council, they are only under the supervision of the cabinet, to put it bluntly, they are under the supervision of you, Xiao Yan, and the reason why the emperor, the Privy Council, and the officials Accepting such a military system is actually out of trust in Prime Minister Xiao."

"However, nowadays, the Nine Gates City Guards are in a state of chaos, causing troubles continuously, making the city full of wind and rain, making everyone from the dignitaries to the common people feel resentful towards the Nine Gates City Guards, and then promoted to the imperial court to raise soldiers. The extreme level of raising bandits, now, up to the emperor, down to the Privy Council, and many ministers, are all notorious because of the chaos of the Nine Gates City Guards, and the people are even more distrustful of the court."

Bai Mochou spoke more and more vigorously, spitting stars, and said impassionedly: "For example, the people will resent the Ministry of Rites for not enacting laws strictly, they will be annoyed that the Ministry of Punishments is not firm enough to enforce the laws, and they will even question the Privy Council why they condone Jiumen City Wei fled outside the control, ***, in this case, the guards of Jiumen City are really a cancer that shakes the state of Dayan, but the court has been blamed, Xiao Baldy, how can you get away with just a few words?"

Bai Mochou's eloquence is excellent, and this remark has been discussed with Shi Yue and Yan Jing for a long time, and there are many subterfuges in it, but he couldn't find it for a while, and even if he found it, it would be difficult to refute it.

These words were uttered forcefully, with great momentum and reasoned everywhere, even those neutral ministers listened to them and deeply believed it.

The ministers would naturally think: Xiao Yan wants to control the army alone, that's fine, but you have to be strict in running the army. Now that something big is happening, the people will blame the matter on the court of Dayan. Was it a scapegoat?They are naturally unwilling.

Xiao Yan was pressed down by Bai Mochou's big hats, like a mountain top, he could hardly breathe.

Since ancient times, there have been eyes, the tongue of the literati is like a knife, and the blood is not seen in killing people. The white old hooligan interprets the true meaning of it.

"I don't agree with Bai Yushi's words."

Xiao Yan immediately became angry, faced Bai Mochou, and said forcefully: "This is just your one-sided opinion, and the soldiers are vulgar, and they seldom read poetry and books, so they are inevitably irritable. Fights and nuisances happen from time to time, why are you so surprised?"

"Easy to say."

Shi Yue took over the words and said: "Prime Minister Xiao said that the soldiers are vulgar and illiterate. There is nothing wrong with what he said, but being illiterate is definitely different from being unreasonable. If Prime Minister Xiao is not convinced, you can consider it. Did the black-clothed guards of the envoy and the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division do such indecent things? Could it be that the soldiers under my command are all well-read poems and books, and are both civil and military?"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials burst into laughter, his words were even more tricky, Xiao Yan was so angry that he stared blankly, unable to refute.

Shi Yue said again: "So, this disturbance has nothing to do with whether the soldiers are vulgar or not. Prime Minister Xiao should not prevaricate or shirk responsibility, but should actively calm the situation, find out the root cause of the incident, and give the common people and the court An explanation, instead of treating the head when you have a headache, and treating the foot when your foot hurts, you have read a lot of poetry and books, and you are rich in knowledge, can't you even see this?"

The fox's tail is finally showing.

Xiao Yan is also a fine person, and he also knew that Shi Yue and Bai Mochou were going to take the opportunity to make trouble, asking for prices all over the sky, and he knew that this test would not be able to escape after all, so he was no longer afraid, and asked with a sneer: "Then according to Vice Envoy Shi? See, what is the source of the confusion."

"Hehe, isn't this simple? I'm a warrior, and I've always been outspoken. If what I say offends Prime Minister Xiao, please don't take it to heart, let alone take revenge on me deliberately. As for me, I'm all for the court.

Shi Yue pretended to be vaccinated before he said: "Looking at the source of soldiers of the Black Clothes Guards, the Five City Soldiers, and the Nine Gates City Guards, they all come from humble backgrounds and are illiterate, and don't know etiquette. The contrast is so great, and in my opinion, it is because of the commander's different philosophy of governing the army that the Nine Gates City Guards have transformed from the former pampered son of heaven to a land of bandits."

"You are talking nonsense."

Xiao Yan heard Shi Yue blatantly put shit pots on his and Cheng Ye's heads, and he felt furious, and said angrily: "You are a villain, you are deliberately smearing me! Your Majesty, Shi Yue's heart can be punished, Absolutely unbelievable."

"Has Prime Minister Xiao become angry from embarrassment?"

Shi Yue snorted coldly: "I made it clear just now that I am wholeheartedly for the court, and I will not estimate Prime Minister Xiao's face, and I have something to say, reasonable and restrained, and I am definitely not talking nonsense. On this point, I believe that anyone who leads the army as a general You all have a deep understanding, right? General Lei, Deputy Envoy Tian, ​​do you agree with what I just said?"

Lei Dong naturally responded to Shi Yue, "Vice Envoy Shi's words are absolutely correct, they can be called the motto of governing the army, and the last general must deeply understand it."

Tian Fen and Xiao Yan had a stalemate, now is the best time to beat the dog in the water, as the saying goes that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

He sneered and said to Xiao Yan: "Prime Minister Xiao is talented and good at governing, but no one is perfect, so how can he be able to handle everything? In my opinion, running an army is different from managing politics. The strategy for running an army lies entirely in Commander, his responsibility cannot be shirked."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan and Cheng Ye were immediately determined, and the next step was naturally to beat the dog severely.

"The main general discipline is strict, and there is a degree of relaxation. The soldiers will abide by the etiquette, restrain their fangs, and benefit one side. The reason why the Nine Gates City Guards suffered today's misfortune is because Prime Minister Xiao and Admiral Cheng are not good at running the army, so Prime Minister Xiao and Admiral Cheng should take full responsibility."

Xiao Yan's face was purple and his expression was cloudy. He glared at Tian Fen and said coldly, "Wu Ya fell on a pig. I think pigs are black! Tian Fen, you have the right to scold me?"
