Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 595 Northwest Mutation
In June, the Second Prince and the Third Prince revived their efforts, and they continued to send people to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment both openly and secretly.

Emperor Shunyu saw all these things.

It's a pity that the battle report came from the northwest border, and the Xiongnu invaded again, and killed a young general who was patrolling the territory as usual.

General Rong Liao, who was in charge of guarding the northwest border, asked the imperial court for a battle. General Rong couldn't swallow this tone no matter what.

If the Huns were not beaten down because of this, such insults would only make the Huns more arrogant, and then they would not just kill a young general under him.

As the saying goes, when the general is away, the emperor's order will not be obeyed.

But Rong Liao knew very well that if he sent troops recklessly, and the food and grass of the Ministry of War could not be supplied in time, then the lives of tens of thousands of his soldiers would be in vain in the end.

Since this incident happened, General Rong has been resisting the pressure from below, trying his best to defy all opinions, and let people send a letter back to Beijing first, waiting for the Beijing-China transfer order.

But now the court is arguing about this matter.

More than half a year ago, the Xiongnu had been gearing up in the northwest to try their hand, but they were always making small troubles and not hurting people's lives.

At that time, the prince asked for orders to go to the northwest, but the emperor did not agree.

Now seeing that the war is about to start, these princes dare not fart.

After all, this is a real war. According to the current momentum of the Xiongnu, if there is no three to five years, don't even think about returning from the northwest.

By that time, the situation in Beijing and Central China will have changed drastically. If you want to join Seize the Inheritance again, it will be uncertain who will win and who will lose.

Therefore, at this time, no one wants to leave Beijing easily.

Although this is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds, the two princes are more aware of life-related matters than anyone else.

Shen Chenlan heard Wen Hongfang talk about it as soon as she was on duty at the Imperial Academy.

"Most of the officials in North Korea and China are not fighting factions. They feel that this time the Xiongnu should, like in the past, only kill individuals, without pain or itching, and it is not enough for Dashun to sacrifice the stability that has been maintained for many years. .” Wen Hongfang said.

"Only kill individuals? It seems that human life is no different from ants in the eyes of these adults." Shen Chenlan said coolly.

Shen Chenlan has always been peaceful in front of Wen Hongfang and Mr. Zhao, and they have never heard Shen Chenlan say anything clear-cut.

Now at first glance, I'm not used to it.

Wen Hongfang said: "Then Mr. Shen is the main combat faction."

Mr. Zhao eased the atmosphere and said, "In any case, we are only hearsay about the Northwest matter. We don't understand the key points, so it's better not to jump to conclusions."

Shen Chenlan is not belligerent either, he just feels that Rong Liao has sent letters back after losing a young general in the Northwest, and he also hopes that Jingzhong can support him behind his back, otherwise he would be too suffocated to be a general in the Northwest bent.

If this battle is not fought, this matter will bury heart troubles in the hearts of Northwest soldiers in the future, and I am afraid it will chill their hearts.

However, if Shen Chenlan can think of this, Emperor Shunyu must also be able to think of it.

In the palace, the Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Shunyu looked at the letter of invitation for soldiers spread out on the table.

The eunuch Pan Liqun couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it can be seen that General Rong wants to fight this battle. The Northwest has lost a young general. The people below must not be able to swallow this breath. I am afraid that General Rong is not easy to appease now. All generals."

Emperor Shunyu took a deep breath, picked up the paper on the table, and folded it in half.

Pan Liqun couldn't understand what Emperor Shunyu was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask further questions.

After a while, Emperor Shunyu pressed the paper under the inkstone.

Only then did he say, "This battle cannot be fought."
