The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 706
For a long time, neither the emperor nor the bigwigs of the court took He Lu's rebellion seriously.

But today's battle report is like a resounding slap in the face, slapped hard on the faces of all the emperors and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty.

Face slapping, Chi Guoguo slapping face, I think the Helu tribe is only a few tens of thousands of people, and the Pingxi army has been going out for more than a year, but it has not been completely wiped out.

What's even more embarrassing is that Pingxi's army has more soldiers and horses than others, and it is backed by the wealthy and prosperous Tang Empire. Not to mention that they failed to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and now they have suffered a big defeat.

Nearly half of the [-] troops were lost.

What is this concept?
How far-reaching is the impact of this incident? !

No matter how negligent the emperor is in government affairs, even if he doesn't pay attention to He Lu anymore, but at this moment, holding this battle report, he can't wait to bring the chief and deputy chief of the army to the front of the emperor, and grab them by the neck to ask a question , "You are all living for nothing, under such favorable conditions, you can still suffer defeat?!"

It's a pity that the manager and the deputy manager are all in the northwest, and the only deputy manager in Beijing, Concubine Xiao and Ding You, is at home.

Filled with anger and unable to find a place to vent, the emperor was so angry that he walked around in the hall, and it took him a while to realize that this was a major military matter, and he should discuss it with the important ministers in the council hall.

The emperor stopped in his tracks, stood in front of the desk, raised his voice and called the servants in, "Go, invite some gentlemen from the meeting hall!"

The little servant promised, and quickly went down to deliver the decree.

Cui Ze returned to the meeting hall, and has been sorting out government affairs for a while, when he suddenly heard the sage's call, he hurriedly dropped the file in his hand, arranged his official uniform, put on his official hat, and hurried towards the meeting hall.

When Cui Ze arrived, the council hall was already full of people, besides the other four prime ministers, the eldest grandson Sikong who had long since faded out of the government was also present.

Seeing the solemn faces of the crowd, Cui Ze felt a little bit in his heart, knowing that something important must have happened.

Although Cui Ze had made enough mental preparations, he still didn't expect that the emperor would want to conquer in person.

This, this is too childish.

The five prime ministers, including Cui Ze, all advised the emperor to 'think twice'. It is not a trivial matter for the imperial conquest, and the current situation has not reached the point where the emperor must go to the battlefield in person. To put it bluntly, the emperor's ability Limited, he is definitely not on the same level as the wise and mighty late emperor.

Let the emperor who has never been on the battlefield go to war, and he is still facing the cruel and cunning He Lu. Isn't this letting the emperor die? !

Although the performance after ascension to the throne made the officials not very satisfied, they didn't think about changing the emperor either.

Moreover, the situation in the capital has changed suddenly recently, the eldest prince and the Wei family are in cahoots, and a new round of battle for succession has officially started. If the emperor leaves the capital at this time, even if he is not killed by He Lu, he may be killed by a son or brother .

Well, several prime ministers admitted that they were thinking too much, but one thing is clear, that is, killing the emperor will not make the emperor leave Beijing.

The five prime ministers took turns to go into battle, this one quoted scriptures, that one made long speeches, even though the veterans looked gray-haired and old, they were definitely sharper than professional censors when they played tricks.

The emperor was directly stunned by a group of old men chattering around, and sat cross-legged on the couch in a daze, staring at the opening and closing mouths with wide eyes.

In the end, Changsun Wuji went into battle, and directly concluded: "The saint's body has just recovered, and it is not appropriate to overwork. It is better to delay the matter of going out in person. The most urgent thing is to discuss the matter of sending troops for reinforcements."

This makes a lot of sense, no matter if the emperor goes out in person or chooses another general to go out, he must lead troops to reinforce them.

Reinforcement is not a simple matter, and it is definitely not a problem that can be solved at the touch of lip service: where to mobilize government soldiers, how many people to mobilize, how to raise equipment, horses, food and grass, etc., and so on.

All need to be discussed.

As for the commander-in-chief, it can be suppressed first and then discussed.

The emperor had no objection, and said happily that 'Sikong's words are justified'.

As a result, heated discussions began in the council hall.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the Fubing system, there was no professional regular army, and the twelve guards were also composed of Fubing.If there is a war, the government soldiers will be drawn from the twelve guards to fight.

And the general is hand-picked by the sage. After the war is over, the army will return to the twelve guards, and the general will immediately withdraw his troops and return to the court.

So there is no so-called "a certain army" in this era, and the fact that the Chai family has been able to occupy the northwest for nearly 30 years is also because the head of the Chai family is surnamed Li, and made great contributions at the beginning of the founding of the country.

If it were someone else, they would have been dealt with as early as the time of the first emperor.

A group of veterans discussed for half a day, and finally decided to dispatch [-] government soldiers, with Xiao Siye as the deputy general, and go directly to the northwest for rescue.

Xu was in order to further dispel the saint's thought that he wanted to lead a personal conquest, several veteran ministers decided together that there would be no commander-in-chief for this reinforcement army, and the deputy general Xiao Siye would take the title of commander-in-chief temporarily.

After the army joins the Pingxi army, Pingxi's deputy chief and general Su Dingfang will be fully in charge.

After fighting for a long time, the emperor still failed to win over a group of old officials, and finally he had to give up.

There's no way, he really can't bear a group of eloquent old men buzzing in his ears, making his brain ache.

In order to prevent himself from suffering from headaches when he was young, the emperor had no choice but to acquiesce to the decision of the prime ministers.

The next day, the emperor issued a decree, and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ordnance Supervision and other departments immediately began to operate, mobilizing government soldiers, raising food and grass and other military supplies, and they were extremely busy.

Because the front line was tight and the news of the defeat was too embarrassing, the efficiency of the officials of the Chinese Dynasty, who were holding back their stomachs, was significantly improved. It didn't take long for the [-] army to be mobilized.

The emperor chose an auspicious day, and personally went out of the imperial city to practice for the army.

After the flag was sacrificed, Xiao Siye led an army of [-] and marched out of Beijing.

Because Xiao Siye and Xiao Nan's cousins, on the day he left the city, Xiao Nan also led Chang Shun and Ah Mu to the side of the road to see him off.

Looking at the army passing by on horseback in unison, Xiao Nan looked solemn. He only hoped that the Western Turks could be completely wiped out this time, so that Cui Youbo in Shanzhou would be safer.

The army slowly disappeared outside the city gate, and the people who came to see them off and watched them also began to leave.

Seeing the crowd, Xiao Nan was worried about the children's safety, so he dragged Chang Shun and the others to wait in the carriage for a while, and when the people outside were almost dispersed, she ordered Qin Zhen to go on the road.

Changshun considered himself an older child, and refused to sit with his mother and sister any longer, and directly dragged Changtai, Changning, and Changshou to sit on the opposite seat.

Chang Ning was lively and active. He finally went out, very excited, and looked out the car window.

Every time he sees a novel person or thing, he will happily yell.

Chang Shun is a good brother. Seeing Chang Ning like this, he turned around and looked out the window, explaining to his younger brother from time to time: "This red-haired, blue-eyed man is not a monster, but a barbarian from far away..." In fact, it was also the first time for him to see such a strange person, and he had told him about it when his eldest brother was at home.

However, this does not prevent him from teaching his elder brother's words to his younger brother.

Changshun was very patient. With a smile on his lips, he was explaining in a soft voice.

Suddenly, the smile on his lips froze, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Nan was about to chat with Ah Mu and Ah Xiao, when he caught a glimpse of Chang Shun's abnormality from the corner of his eye, he casually asked with a smile, "Chang Shun, what's the matter? But did you see any acquaintances?"

Changning and the others haven't been out much, and Changshun is not much better than them.It's just that the little guy is bigger than the quadruplets, and he is usually a well-behaved and caring child. Now that Changsheng is gone, when Xiao Nan sees guests, he will occasionally bring him out with the quadruplets.

Therefore, Changshun also met several Cui family's in-laws and old friends.

Chang Shun hurriedly turned his head, and replied respectfully: "Mother, my son did see a person, he looked familiar, he seemed to be the nineteenth cousin of my grandmother's family."

Zheng Ping?Zheng Nineteen?

Xiao Nan frowned slightly, and then asked again: "Oh? Is it Nineteen Lang?"

Changshun nodded his head obediently, "My son and elder brother have met cousin nineteen a few times, so I shouldn't admit my mistake!"

Xiao Nan snorted, and waved his hands to let them continue playing by themselves, while he fell into deep thought.

Well, these days she was busy with that big event, so she didn't pay attention to Zheng Ping's affairs.

Just now Changshun met Zheng Shijiu, that is to say, he did not go to Mount Li with the academy.This, does this mean that her plan has succeeded, and Zheng Ping fell into the pit dug specially for him as she wished?

The carriage was moving slowly, a few boys in the carriage were chattering, while Xiao Nan squinted his eyes thinking about something.

The reinforcements left, and because of this major event, the strange aura over the capital seemed to have dissipated a lot.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the capital has returned to its former hustle and bustle.

But many rich and powerful are not so optimistic.

For example Miss Su.

On this day, Xiao Nan had just finished writing a letter to Cui Youbo, and was about to go to the kitchen, when a little maid outside announced that it was Mrs. Su's visit.

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Please!"

Not long after, Mrs. Su came in in an elegant summer dress, and when she saw Xiao Nan, she hurriedly bowed and said, "I won't see you in a few days, Mrs. Qi is well!"

Xiao Nan bowed slightly, and returned the courtesy: "Tuofu, Madam Su is well!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the servant girl brought herbal tea to relieve summer heat.

Mrs. Su wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, took a few sips, and then said with a smile: "It is said that the herbal tea from Madam's place is delicious. I tried it today, and it really lives up to its reputation."

Xiao Nan smiled and said a few more words of 'Thank you'.

After chatting like this for a while, the atmosphere in the room was almost the same. Su Niangzi put down the teacup and said in a low voice: "The Da Ci'en Temple is about to be completed. The saint wants to choose an auspicious day to go to the temple to offer incense. Princess Ping'an recommended an eminent monk with superb Dharma , it is said that he is the master disciple of Master Sanzang..."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, and said, "That eminent monk is a Master of Bianji?!"
