Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 873 No one responds to Wei Zheng
above the hall.

All the generals were a little excited, but they were restraining themselves so as not to lose their minds.

Standing in front of the officials, Wei Zheng raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin. There was indescribable firmness in his eyes.

Li Shimin's expression is slightly condensed here.

The role of the supervisory army is to replace the emperor to supervise the army, which is of great help in his control of the army and generals, but Li Shimin also knows that the supervisory army will have some adverse effects on marching and fighting.

And these adverse effects sometimes lead to defeat.

In his heart, he wanted to cancel the supervising army, but he didn't want to cancel it.

Li Shimin was confused.

At this moment, among the civil servants in the main hall, none of them stood up to support Wei Zheng.

For one thing, many of their civil servants actually don't like Wei Zheng, so it's a bit unreasonable to ask them to support Wei Zheng.

What's more, does this matter have anything to do with them?

They have always wanted to suppress the generals. If even the supervising army that suppressed the generals is revoked, then the generals of the Tang Dynasty will probably become more and more arrogant, right?

Because the Tang Dynasty established the country with military force, these generals were very arrogant on weekdays, and things happened from time to time when they fought in the court. If they did it, their civil servants would suffer, so they didn't want to cancel the supervising army.

What's more, the eunuchs in the palace are usually in charge of supervising the army. As Li Shimin's close ministers, if the eunuchs offend them, then they will make trouble for themselves. I'm afraid it will be easy, right?

Just whisper a word or two in Li Shimin's ear, and they will suffer.

For three reasons, almost no one in the court supported Wei Zheng.

The situation suddenly became a little embarrassing.

Wei Zheng was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't flinch in the slightest because of it.

As a spokesperson, he has to bring up bad things when he sees them. This is his duty. If he doesn't mention them, what's the use of being a spokesperson?
It's just that he didn't expect that there was no bloody person in the court, which made him very disappointed.

Wei Zheng insisted, but Li Shimin struggled, and at this moment, a eunuch next to Li Shimin suddenly said: "My lord, if there is no supervising army, the army will not be able to monitor it, so this slave feels that the supervising army is irrevocable."

This eunuch, named Niu Xingxing, is the chief eunuch of the harem, and has won the trust and love of Li Shimin. On weekdays, many officials would fawn on him.

And when he spoke suddenly above the court, many officials didn't think there was any problem with it.

However, after he opened his mouth like this, Qin Tian frowned slightly.

In the previous life of the Tang Dynasty, there were two biggest hidden dangers, one was the separatist rule of the feudal towns, and the other was the power of the eunuchs.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty has just been founded not long ago, and these two situations are not considered serious, but if they cannot be effectively controlled in the early stage, the later stage will inevitably be like a flood, and it will be out of control.

Now that Niu Xingxing is discussing government affairs in the court hall, it is a very bad start.

Qin Tian was a little disgusted in his heart, but at this time, he was still able to maintain his rationality, and he was not in a hurry to say or do anything.

Things, we still have to continue to look at it.

After Niu Xingxing opened his mouth, the civil officials in the court became more and more afraid to speak. Obviously, if they open their mouths now, they will offend the chief executive. If they offend the chief executive, they will have a hard time living in the future. Are you worried?
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, then at Niu Xingxing, and became more and more entangled for a while.

"My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"

There was really no other way, Li Shimin could only ask the officials for their opinions, but after he asked, no one stood up in the court hall, and everyone didn't want to get burned.

When Wei Zheng saw this, he immediately became angry, and then he cast his eyes on Qin Tian, ​​and kept giving Qin Tian winks.

It's fine if other people don't speak up, but if you Qin Tian don't speak up, it's a bit unreasonable, right?
If Ma Zhou hadn't killed Cui Yan, the supervisor, as for him to stand up and say this, to be honest, he is helping Ma Zhou now, and Ma Zhou is Qin Tian's brother-in-law, how can Qin Tian not stand up?

However, Wei Zheng kept winking at Qin Tian, ​​but Qin Tian didn't seem to notice it at all, and just stood calmly in the hall, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

This made Wei Zheng very angry, he had never seen such a person.

The main hall was very quiet, no one gave Li Shimin any advice, Li Shimin saw this and said: "If that's the case, then retreat from the court and discuss this matter later."

The matter of revoking the supervisory army is relatively involved, and it is normal that it cannot be resolved in an early court.

And just when Li Shimin announced his withdrawal from the court, Niu Xingxing showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Niu Xingxing is very satisfied with the reactions of these ministers now. He just likes the feeling that no one dares to offend.

Supervising the army is the privilege of their palace people, how can it be cancelled?

Back in the morning, when I left the main hall, the sun outside was warm and the autumn wind was blowing, but it was a little refreshing.

Just as Qin Tian was about to leave, Wei Zheng stopped him from behind.

"You kid has no conscience."

Wei Zheng said such a sentence, Qin Tian pretended to be surprised, and said: "Why did Master Wei say such a thing, why do I have no conscience?"

Wei Zheng said: "I helped Ma Zhou solve the matter of supervising the army, why don't you speak up and support me, do you think you have a conscience?"

Thinking of Qin Tian's indifference in the hall just now, Wei Zheng was furious, wishing he could slap Qin Tian right now.

Here, Qin Tian smiled: "It turns out that Master Wei was talking about this matter. It is undeniable that it is very meaningful that Master Wei wants to cancel the military supervision, but Master Wei thinks that with the current Judging from the situation, will His Majesty agree to cancel the military supervision, and will those court and Chinese officials support you?"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he said, "What do you mean?"

"Lord Wei, the Supervising Army is to supervise the army and generals on behalf of the Holy Majesty. Unless the Holy Majesty really wants to cancel the Supervising Army from the bottom of his heart, it is useless for us to shout about it."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian said again: "The killing of Cui Yan only caused the Holy One to shake a little, but it is not enough."

Qin Tian strolled, Wei Zheng was beside him, and asked, "How is it enough?"

"This..." Qin Tian rested his chin and thought for a moment, and said, "Either because of the supervising army, my Tang army was defeated, or, it is difficult for those eunuchs to gain the trust of the holy majesty, even if it is only for a moment of distrust, they will not be trusted." Enough to get this done.”

For this, Qin Tian is still very confident.

But after he finished speaking, Wei Zheng curled his lips: "It's easy to say, the Holy Majesty has great trust in the eunuchs in the harem, and it's not easy to make the Holy Majesty despise them?"

Qin Tian smiled: "Don't worry, there is a way."
