This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 109 The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country? ?

Chengtian Hall, civil and military officials entered the arena one by one.

Today there is no court meeting in Japan, but a sudden summons brought all the courtiers to Chengtian Hall.

Whenever this happens, something big will happen.

After all the officials arrived at the scene, they saw Emperor Tianfu sitting on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.

Some people have realized that it may be related to the border war.

"Your Majesty, the officials were summoned so suddenly, but something major happened?"

Prime Minister Sima Yan came out and asked.

Emperor Tianfu didn't answer, and ordered the eunuch in the palace to pass the document in his hand to all the officials for circulation.

"This is the battle report of Longmen County and the letter of credence from the country sent by the second prince. Let's all take a look."

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly trembled.

Looks like something is up at the border.

Sima Yu took the battle report and an accompanying letter of leaving the country.

After reading it, his face immediately changed drastically.

"Prime Minister, take a look with the lower officials."

The rest of the courtiers also became anxious, wanting to know what happened at the border.

It actually made the face of Sima Yu, who was always calm and calm, change drastically.

Sima Yi handed the battle report and the letter of credence to the rest of the courtiers, and circulated them one by one.

After the courtiers finished reading, a heavy and suffocating atmosphere permeated the entire Chengtian Hall.

No wonder Emperor Tianfu looked so embarrassed, no wonder Prime Minister Sima Yan couldn't keep calm.

300 million troops from the country!
No matter how majestic the city of Longmen County is.

No matter how brave and skilled the soldiers of the Great Zhou were.

It is absolutely impossible to resist the 300 million army while facing the barbarians and the kingdom of ten thousand monsters.

Whether it is military strength or logistics, it is far behind.

What's more, the 300 million army, which Da Zhou saw as irresistible, was only half of Li Guo's force.

political reform!

Leaving the country to reform the law, the effect is so terrifying.

The national power has increased so much.

Even if Da Zhou didn't face the enemy, except for the barbarians in the northern border, it was just a Li country, and it couldn't resist it.

A cloud of despair hangs over everyone's heads.

Li Qing frowned.

Time was too tight, and he couldn't think of any way to solve the immediate crisis.

If Dazhou can win a few months, when the holy colleges in the major counties and counties are established, talented scholars will obtain academic status and open up a literary palace, maybe they will be able to turn the tide.

but now……

Obviously, Li Guo saw this.

I don't want to give Da Zhou time, and I don't want to wait for the establishment of holy temples in various places in Da Zhou, and a group of Confucian and Taoist practitioners will appear.

That's why there was a sudden increase of 100 million troops to put pressure on Da Zhou.

"Everyone, now that the country is in crisis, let's talk about how Da Zhou should deal with it."

On the dragon chair, Emperor Tianfu said in a deep voice.

Prime Minister Sima Yan took a step forward, and said in a solemn voice:

"Your Majesty, all the five thousand miles north of Longmen County will be ceded to Li Guo, and the compensation will be 1000 million taels of silver.

The mutual friendship between the two countries may be able to exchange for a short-term peace, but Li Guo can tear up the agreement at any time.

Especially after the cession of land and compensation, the gap in national power between Dazhou and Liguo will continue to widen.

At that time, my great week can only be gradually eroded by Liguo, and my survival depends on Liguo's thoughts.

The minister thought that it was absolutely impossible to agree to the conditions of leaving the country.

Li Guo wants to annex my Da Zhou, even if he is a tiger, my Da Zhou will smash all his teeth! "

Sima Jian hit the nail on the head and analyzed the disadvantages of cede land for compensation.

According to what he meant, Da Zhou had to face Li Guo's invasion with a tough stance.

Even if it is difficult to escape the end of the country's subjugation, Li Guo's mouth and teeth must be broken!
Words are full of blood.

"I think it's impossible!"

Yang Ying, a scholar of the palace, came out.

"In the confrontation between great powers, you must not show your courage. Even if you can inflict heavy damage on Li Guo, my Da Zhou is in danger of subjugation!

Now that one is strong and the other is weak, we should use appeasement methods to stabilize Liguo.I, Da Zhou, waited for the opportunity to look for opportunities, and slowly figured them out.

After the establishment of holy temples in counties and counties, countless scholars became practitioners of Confucianism and Taoism.

In this way, even if Dazhou's 300 million army Chen Bing Longmen County, Dazhou is not afraid. "

Different from Sima Yu's tough policy against the enemy, Yang Ying adopted a policy of appeasement.

It was supported by most of the ministers present.

"Using appeasement means, slowly figure it out?"

Sima Jian scoffed at Yang Ying's words, and reprimanded angrily:
"Do you know that once the land five thousand miles north of Longmen County is ceded, there will be no more barriers in the south of the Great Zhou, and the gates of the Great Zhou will all be opened to the Li Kingdom. The Li Kingdom army can drive straight in at any time, and the soldiers will come to Shengjing!

Do you know that the compensation of 1000 million taels of silver will directly lead to a large financial deficit, and it will not even be able to support the war against the barbarians!

Means of appeasement, cession of land for compensation and other acts of losing power and humiliating the country are tantamount to subjugation of the country, absolutely not! "

Five thousand miles north of Longmen County, this land is too important.

These five thousand miles are all hills and dense forests.

Even if Longmen County falls, if the five thousand miles of hills and dense forests are used as a barrier, it will be enough for Da Zhou to deal with Li Guo.

But once the five thousand miles of hills and dense forests are ceded, there will be a flat plain in the future.

Liguo iron cavalry can go all the way along the Jingjiang River and attack the city of Shengjing.

The officials were also aware of this, and deeply lamented Li Guo's sinister intentions.

"But now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. Within ten days, if Liguo's conditions are not agreed, Longmen County will still fall! You might as well abandon this land temporarily and make a promise with Liguo.

When the Holy Academy is established, nearly a million Confucian and Taoist monks will be born in my great week.At that time, a counterattack will be launched and Liguo will be deported. "

Yang Ying, a scholar of the Palace Pavilion, and Sima Yan, the prime minister, confronted each other in the court.

The rest of the ministers also spoke one after another.

Some supported Yang Ying, and some supported Sima Jian.

Among them, the ministers who supported Yang Ying accounted for [-]%.

Among these people, there are ghosts in their hearts.

As long as the interests of one's own family can be guaranteed, so what if the dynasty changes?

If the general trend cannot be violated, so what if Da Zhou is annexed by Li Guo?
The policy of appeasement, which promised land cession and compensation, gradually gained the upper hand.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Tianfu looked at the disputing important court officials, his expression became more and more ugly.

If the dispute continues like this, it can only be judged by him, the emperor.

But he himself is also hovering between the two coping policies.

To cede the land as compensation and offer the princess a marriage is tantamount to losing power and humiliating the country, and he has a thousand and ten thousand objections in his heart.

You can use the method of Prime Minister Sima Yan, and it is indeed as Yang Ying said, showing the courage of ordinary people.

For Da Zhou, there is no benefit at all.

Even if Liguo is full of teeth in the end, Da Zhou will fall in this war.

Emperor Tianfu was not reconciled to it. It was obvious that Confucianism had manifested itself, and the person who founded Confucianism was none other than an official of his Great Zhou Dynasty.

In just a few months, Da Zhou will have a large number of Confucian and Taoist practitioners, and the military power will expand rapidly.

But if you are away from the country, you just don't give this opportunity!

At the same time, he felt very regretful.

He regretted that 35 years ago, out of checks and balances on the aristocratic family, but at the same time he did not dare to offend the aristocratic family to death, he did not listen to what King Huaixin said, and imitated Liguo to carry out reforms.

Li Guo, whose national power was almost the same as that of the Great Zhou, has now ushered in a new life.

600 million troops, this is a suffocating number just thinking about it.

"Fourth brother, I... regret it!"

In Emperor Tianfu's eyes, there was a look of deep regret.

Although he has been checking and balancing the family, but at the same time he needs the help of the family too much.

King Huaixin believed that the aristocratic family was the moth of the country and had to be eradicated.

Simply eradicate disobedient families one by one in the turmoil of political reform.

As long as after a period of pain, you can usher in a bright future.

Back then, it was precisely because of this incident that King Huaixin drifted away from Emperor Tianfu.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Tianfu calmed down.

Looking at the ministers, he said: "It is not advisable to cede land for five thousand miles and compensate 1000 million taels of silver. It is also not advisable to take a tough stance against Li Guo's 300 million troops.

Dear friends, I want you to come up with a compromise plan.Help Da Zhou get through this crisis! "

All the ministers in Chengtian Palace bowed their heads in thought after hearing the words.

It is too difficult to make a compromise plan to help Dazhou survive this crisis.

It's impossible to do without paying some price.

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Tianfu looked at Zuo Guangzu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Zuo Aiqing, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of War. On this occasion, do you have any countermeasures?"

As the brother-in-law of Emperor Tianfu, Zuo Guangzu, the ancestor of the Zuo family, was also the servant of the dragon who established the country with the Great Zhou.

It can be said to be the absolute confidant of the successive emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zuo Guangzu, in his 60s, slowly stepped out.

Said: "Your Majesty, the current situation and the crisis facing the Great Zhou Dynasty all lie in the founding of the country and the barbarians."

"I think it is absolutely impossible to pay 1000 million taels of silver for five thousand miles of land."

"I would like to send an envoy to Liguo to negotiate with Liguo. If it is possible to cede land for two thousand miles, or even three thousand miles. As long as the hills and dense forests to the north of Longmen County can be ceded to Liguo, there will be some buffer land, especially It is Tianshu City, an important place second only to Longmen County, that must be left behind. At this price, it is acceptable to exchange for a short period of peace."

"Great Zhou took advantage of this time to set up the Holy Academy as soon as possible, so that all scholars could become practitioners of Confucianism and Taoism. And use thunder to defeat the barbarians as soon as possible."

"Then gather all the troops of the whole country and cooperate with nearly a million Confucian and Taoist practitioners, then we can counter Liguo."

Zuo Guangzu's suggestion was not as extreme as the prime minister Sima Yan, nor was it weak like the palace scholar Yang Ying.

It was indeed a feasible solution, which made Emperor Tianfu feel a lot better.

After careful consideration in their hearts, the officials still found two key points of force majeure.

Shangshu ordered Meng Tingshan to come out, saluted Emperor Tianfu, and said:

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Zuo said is feasible."

"But there are two fatal problems. First, the Great Zhou was able to defeat the barbarians in a short period of time and inflict heavy damage on the barbarians, making it impossible for the barbarians to make a comeback."

"Secondly, Wan Yao Nation once sent strong men to sneak attack on Lord Zhen Guo, who was retreating and attacking the fourth rank. Obviously, he was in collusion with the barbarians. We are not sure whether Wan Yao Nation will take action in this war. Once Wan Yao Nation makes a move, Dazhou will not Talk about defeating the barbarians, and even Northern Xinjiang will fall!"

What Shang Shuling Meng Tingshan said made the hearts of the courtiers of Chengtian Palace rise to their throats again.

Myriad Monster Country!
Since the border war, Wan Yao Kingdom has not made a move.

So much so that everyone subconsciously didn't think about this existence that was even more terrifying than Li Guo.

Everyone's faces darkened in an instant.

And more importantly, even if the Wan Yao Kingdom does not take action, can Da Zhou defeat the barbarians in a short time?

Can the barbarians be severely damaged in a short period of time so that there is no possibility of the barbarians making a comeback?
the answer is negative.

The atmosphere in Chengtian Palace was once again suppressed to the extreme.

It seems that no matter how he chooses, Da Zhou will not be able to survive the current desperate situation.

Liguo, whose national power has soared after the reform, has pushed Dazhou into a desperate situation with no choice.

When the officials were silent and contemplating the solution, Li Qing came out and said:
"Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court should establish a holy courtyard in Shengjing in the shortest possible time.

In Shengjing, there are a large number of people who have passed the imperial examination in high school, and the number of Jinshi alone is more than a hundred.

In addition, there are also seventeen great Confucians.

If all these people open up the Palace of Literature, it will be a huge force.

It may be possible to join the battlefield in the northern border. As long as the Wan Yao Kingdom does not intervene, the barbarians will be defeated, so that the barbarians will no longer have the power to make a comeback. "

The Wan Yao Kingdom is like a sharp sword stretching over Da Zhou's head.

played a great deterrent effect.

It happened to be at this extremely critical time.

As for the emperor who guards the gate of the country, the king dies in the country, does not make peace, does not cede land, and does not pay tribute.

Such a hard-hearted and passionate slogan is useless at this time.

Not only will it fail to inspire people and improve morale, it will only push Da Zhou into the abyss.

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, Emperor Tianfu's eyes lit up.

"Seventeen Great Confucianists!"

He looked at Li Qing eagerly, and asked: "These seventeen great Confucians, once they get the title of Great Confucianism and open up a literary palace.

Can it really have the ability comparable to that of a fourth-rank monk? "

Although not long ago, Li Qing beheaded Master Yuanjue, a fourth-rank monk in Dajue Temple, with a gun and a sword.

But Li Qing is the founder of Confucianism and the leader of Confucianism after all.

Whether the other Confucian scholars can have the same ability as Li Qing, no one is sure yet.

All the ministers also looked at Li Qing expectantly.

Everyone here is full of poetry and books.

He used to be a leader in the imperial examination.

The newly promoted Great Confucian of the One Realm is comparable to a fourth-rank monk.

A bachelor is comparable to a fifth-rank monk.

Hanlin is comparable to a sixth-rank monk.

Even if the people here do not have the talent of great Confucianism, they cannot obtain the degree of great Confucianism.

But it is not too much to get a bachelor's degree, or even a lower Hanlin degree, right?
As long as you have a Hanlin degree, you are comparable to an intermediate monk!
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Li Qing shook his head and said:
"The newly promoted Great Confucianism of the First Realm is only as strong as a fourth-rank monk. But the monks all have their own supernatural powers, and their combat experience is extremely rich. I am afraid it will be difficult to match them.

Even a Jinshi is comparable to a seventh-rank monk, and already comparable to the most elite generals in the US military.

But he didn't have a sword, so it might be difficult to fight against the barbarian seventh-rank monks. "

When everyone heard the words, they were extremely disappointed.

After all, not everyone is Li Qing.

Even if one obtains a degree, one cannot possess Confucian supernatural powers in the first place.

Emperor Tianfu's eyes flickered, and he finally made up his mind.

Dao: Order Meng Tingshan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to leave the country and negotiate with the country.

Order the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to immediately build the holy courtyard in Shengjing. Within three days, I must see the holy courtyard completed!
Order the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to transfer all the high school Jinshi in the past 30 years to Shengjing!

Order Yushi Zuozhongcheng Li Qing to be in charge of the affairs of the Holy Court conferring titles!
All the high school Jinshi in the past 30 years, all the great Confucians of the Zhou Dynasty, entered the Holy Academy to open up the Palace of Literature!
A series of edicts from Emperor Tianfu were passed down.

The ministers agreed one by one.

Finally, Emperor Tianfu looked at Li Qing again and said:
"Order Yushi Zuozhongcheng Li Qing, after granting Jinshi and great Confucianism titles, lead the Confucian army to the northern city of Canglan. Destroy and severely injure the barbarians at the fastest speed!"

Once the army of Confucianism who obtained the title is destroyed, the Great Zhou Dynasty will also perish.

Emperor Tianfu's move was already desperate.

But he has no choice.

We can only put all our hopes on Li Qing's army of Confucianism.

Li Qing came out and said solemnly: "Your minister receives the order!"
