The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 155 Bixue secretly pays respects to Zhou Tianzi Pingzhang Advice to Song Officials ([-])

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said: "The death of Li Qing's family is certainly heartbreaking, but state affairs should not be abolished because of this. I wonder which Qing family is willing to succeed the post of Minister of the Ministry of War?" It is a major event such as promotion.It was because he really didn't have any suitable candidates at the moment, so he had no choice but to ask here.

All the ministers in the palace were shocked when they heard the words, no one thought that Zhao Guangyi would ask for everyone's opinions on such a major matter.For a moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay, with expressions of surprise and suspicion, and no one dared to take the initiative to invite Ying.

Lu Duoxun glanced at the martial arts class from the corner of his eye, and hurried out of the class and said: "The official, I believe that at present, it is most appropriate to call Yuwen Yanyi back to Beijing to take up this position."

Zhao Guangyi was startled when he heard the words, and then said in a deep voice: "Lu Qing's family, I have always thought that you are not a forgetful person. Have you forgotten that there is still no conclusion about Fu Zhaoxin's death? If it is true that Yuwen Yanyi has something to do with it , then if I use Yuwen Yanyi again, don't I want to make the whole world laugh at me?"

Lu Duoxun said: "Officials, Yuwen Yanyi became famous when he was young. He was promoted to Hebei Road Defense Envoy from a small school before he was a weak crown. He has fought against Liao many times without losing a single defeat, which made the Liao army frightened. Even Liao general Xiao Tat Brother Lin and Yeluxiu didn't dare to compete with him. But the officials are always generous and benevolent, they recognize talents and love talents, how can they delay Yuwen Yanyi's future because of an unfounded incident?"

Zhao Guangyi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Lu Qing's family, although what you said is reasonable, but what the scripture said makes me feel more and more that he is not suitable for this position."

Lu Duoxun was puzzled, "Why did the officials say that?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Lu Qing's family, a battle warrior like Yuwen Yanyi should be loyal to the country in front of the two armies. If he is in Beijing, he will really miss him."

Lu Duoxun saw that Zhao Guangyi was finally surrounded by himself, and immediately fell silent, but said in his heart: "Zhao Guangyi, you said this yourself. Although I failed to recommend Yuwen Yanyi to become Minister of the Ministry of War, I will wait until Song Qu When fighting, I will definitely use your words today to recommend Yuwen Yanyi as handsome!"

Cao Bin also asked at this time: "Officials, who do you think can be the minister of the Ministry of War?"

Zhao Guangyi smiled, "In my opinion, Yun Zixiao is the minister of the Ministry of War."

Lu Duoxun was full of joy in his heart last moment, but at this moment he was secretly taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Officials, this matter must not be done! Although Yun Zixiao made some contributions during the Northern Expedition, but he only relied on that little contribution." , is not enough to hold such an important position? Besides, Yun Zixiao is the son of the thief Yun Yimo, so there is no guarantee that he will be loyal to the officials!"

Zhao Guangyi showed displeasure and said dissatisfiedly: "Lu Duoxun, you mean that Yun Zixiao's qualifications are too young to be qualified for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. Is there any more suitable candidate than him in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? As long as you give If I find out, I will seal his official position immediately."

All the officials in the palace knew that what Zhao Guangyi said was angry, but Lu Duoxun didn't seem to hear it.He knelt down in front of Zhao Guangyi again, and said: "Official, since you said so, then I will recommend another person for you."

Zhao Guangyi frowned and said, "Who is it?"

Lu Duoxun pointed to himself and said, "That's my humble minister Lu Duoxun."

Zhao Guangyi couldn't help being a little annoyed, he jumped up from the dragon chair, pointed at Lu Duoxun and said, "Lu Duoxun, are you deliberately teasing me?"

Seeing the anger of the sage, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to speak easily.Lu Duoxun said calmly: "How dare I tease the officials! The reason why I recommend myself is because I feel that I am qualified for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. In the past, when the late emperor was in Japan, he sent me to the South After Tang obtained information, the identity of Weichen was exposed and he had to withdraw from Southern Tang. Along the way, Weichen led more than a dozen entourages around him to deal with nearly a thousand Tang troops, and successfully brought back information for the late emperor. He also intentionally sent this official to resist Murong Yanyun. Furthermore, three years ago, Lord Fu Yanqing also intentionally sent this official to temporarily leave Tokyo to replace Fu Zhaoxin in guarding Hebei Road. All this is evident, this official is by no means a A scholar who only knows how to dance and write. In addition, the current privy envoy, Mr. Cao, has a literary and military strategy. With him in charge, it is not a difficult job to be a minister of the Ministry of War, so this humble minister dares to recommend himself!"

Zhao Guangyi was speechless for a while after listening to Lu Duoxun's impassioned speech.After a while he suppressed his anger and said: "Forget it! Since the Lu Qing family is so confident, I will let you concurrently serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, but you must discuss everything with Cao Qing's family more, and don't act arbitrarily. Once you let me know that you are doing something Unfavorable, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Duoxun hurriedly said respectfully: "My minister respectfully obeys the holy orders!"

Zhao Guangyi was gloomy in his heart, and just wanted to let the officials retreat so that he could go back to the harem to rest, when suddenly a little eunuch came running outside the palace.The little eunuch looked anxious and staggered, holding a six-hundred-mile urgent memorial sent from Yongzhou in both hands.The little eunuch ran up to Zhao Guangyi out of breath, gave a deep salute, and raised the memorial in his hand above his head, "Officials, Hou Renbao, the prefect of Yongzhou, sent an urgent memorial, please read it."

"An urgent report from Yongzhou?" Zhao Guangyi was slightly taken aback, and then hurriedly said to Wang Ji'en who was standing beside him, "Hurry up and submit this report to me."

"Yes!" Wang Jien replied, walked down the steps quickly, took the report presented by the little eunuch with both hands, and presented it to Zhao Guangyi respectfully.

Zhao Guangyi took the memorial and saw that the words of Hou Renbao, the magistrate of Yongzhou, were written on it. He couldn't help but opened the envelope in doubt, and took out the memorial in the middle.Zhao Guangyi never puts down the scroll, and his reading speed is far beyond that of ordinary people. He has already roughly read the content of the memorial almost as soon as he unfolds it.Then he carefully read it several times from the beginning to the end, and then put down the report in his hand, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

Seeing this, Cao Bin tentatively asked: "Officials, but does Qu Yue intend to invade my Great Song Dynasty?"

Lu Duoxun also said: "Since the outbreak of the Twelve Envoys' Rebellion in Qu Yue, he has experienced civil strife for several years, and he has long been too busy to take care of himself, so he has no ability to invade the Celestial Dynasty. Food and grass are plentiful, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have the intention to attack."

Zhao Guangyi looked at the two and shook his head, "No, it's not that Qu Yue intends to invade our Great Song Dynasty, but Hou Renbao intends to take advantage of Qu Yue's internal turmoil to attack Qu Yue."

Xue Juzheng thought about it: "Officials, why did Qu Yue have civil strife? Could it be that the leader of the Ding Department died? If so, it would be a good opportunity to send troops at this time."

Shen Lun also rarely opened his mouth and said: "I think what Master Xue said is very true. Qu Yue has always been a heart problem of my Great Song in the south. If we can take advantage of their civil strife and annex Qu Yue in one fell swoop, my Great Song will be in the south. Dali is the only rival left."

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, "What the two Qings said is reasonable. But Hou Renbao was worried that this report would fall into the hands of the enemy, so he did not elaborate on Qu Yue's recent situation and the strategy to defeat the enemy. He only said that he would go back to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. , in front of me and all the nobles, I dare to speak boldly. I wonder if you think I should call him back to Beijing?"
