ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 244 "Plan to Go North"

"Okay, stop arguing, you two." The old man was agitated by their quarrel, and his mouth opened wide.

Sure enough, when he shouted, the two of them fell silent and stopped arguing.Standing weakly in front of the hall, they disliked each other.

After the emperor stopped the two of them, he turned his head and asked Lin Azhen, "What does Lin Aiqing think?"

"This..." Ah Zhen stood up, looked at the civil servants and generals in the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, let's not care whether this minister is the Tubo King Chagar or not. In today's discussion, this minister only represents the status of the great Sima."

Listening to what he said, the old man nodded and said, "That's very good, let me tell you, Lin Aiqing."

Ah Zhen looked around at these ministers, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, all the accusations of the Liao Kingdom indicate one thing, that is, they want to invade my Great Zhou."

The imperial official couldn't stand it and wanted to speak again. Ah Zhen saw him like this, so he hurriedly said to him: "Don't talk too much, the imperial official, just listen to me." The country has no intention of violating our great Zhou, so why do we keep violating the border repeatedly? Tell me why?"

This question really made everyone dumb. Who knows why the Liao Kingdom invaded the border.

The emperor stared at him, and slowly asked: "Da Sima, tell me why?"

"Yes" Ah Zhen turned around, clasped his fists and said, "Everything is for the Liao Kingdom and they despise my Great Zhou. In their eyes, my soldiers and generals are as weak as fish and shrimp. They have already looked down on my Great Zhou a long time ago. .”

"What is Da Sima's intention?" Elder Yi also stood up, wondering why Da Sima was so determined.

Seeing the amiable Elder Yi standing up, Ah Zhen asked everyone with a smile: "Let's think about the economic system of the Liao Kingdom and the life style of the people."

"This" for a long time, all the officials were speechless, looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say.

Murong Xi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, what Da Sima said is true. The west of Zhongjing in the Liao Kingdom is based on the Tubo herdsmen, and the life of the people in the south is no different from that of my Zhou Dynasty."

"That's right, the Liao Kingdom was originally a herdsman on the grasslands. Over the past 400 years of reform, the lives of the people in Shangjing are no different from ours in Dazhou. The tents in the past have been replaced by high-rise buildings, and the fox fur has been replaced by silk. The food and beverages are exactly the same as in Dazhou. " After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists heavily and said, "Your Majesty, do you think it's better to live in a tent or a tall building? Is it better to wear fox fur or satin?"

This question really made everyone meditate, and the huge golden hall was suddenly silent.

"What Lin Aiqing said is truly unique." The emperor thought for a while, concealed the shock in his heart, and asked slowly: "Lin Aiqing, do you also agree to fight?"

"No" Ah Zhen crossed the golden hall without a single word.

Everyone saw him eloquent, and what he said was reasonable, but they didn't think about it but heard him say no, and wondered what he was going to do?

Hearing his refusal, the emperor concealed his anger, and asked with a blunt smile, "So it's peace?

"Do not"

"There is no war, no peace, why is Lin Aiqing?" Not only the emperor's mind is short-circuited, everyone is short-circuited.

"Your Majesty, I will neither fight nor make peace with you, but you must protect." Ah Zhen said loudly.

Everyone was stunned when they heard him talk about protection. The emperor squinted his eyes and asked, "Lin Aiqing, how can I protect you?"

"Your Majesty, my celestial dynasty is known as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. How can I do such an inhumane act?" He said with a big smile and said, "My Majesty, as I expected, the Liao Kingdom will raise troops soon guilty."

As soon as this remark came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, and the official officials hummed heavily: "What Da Sima said is wrong, the Liao Kingdom sent people to visit, and they will raise troops soon."

"Zheng Dingqiao is short-sighted, and I don't want to care about you." Ah Zhen looked at him with contemptuous eyes, and slightly distanced himself from him, as if he didn't want to be with him.

This behavior immediately made the royal official's cheeks flush with anger, and he roared thickly, "Why did the great Sima say such a thing, why is this old man so short-sighted?"

The emperor sat on the golden hall, looking at the two people below, neither reprimanding nor persuading, he also wanted to know how short-sighted the imperial officials were.

After looking at him contemptuously again, Ah Zhen raised the corner of his mouth and hummed: "There was an envoy from the Liao Kingdom visiting before, why come again this time?"

"This" royal official blushed and his neck was thick and he couldn't speak. How could he know when the envoy from the Liao Kingdom came to visit.

"Let me tell you." Seeing that Zheng Dingqiao was speechless, he snorted softly and said, "All this is just a trick of the Liao Kingdom to deceive people like you when they say they want to send envoys to visit. It is to show weakness to the emperor, to paralyze the emperor and the officials with the fear of my Great Zhou in the Liao Kingdom, and then attack suddenly when the emperor is unprepared."

Speaking of this, everyone was shocked, Liu Wanyang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is very possible."

"The minister seconded the proposal" and the Minister of the Ministry of War also stood up and seconded it.Although he and the imperial officials belong to the same country, the country comes first.As soon as he stood up, many people followed suit.

Ah Zhen saw that the royal officials were betrayed by the crowd, and continued to report: "Your Majesty, the art of war says that there are surprise soldiers. If the Liao Kingdom suddenly attacked when everyone was paralyzed, they would take down the Zhending and peace of our Great Zhou within a day." Taiyuan, the wolf army will arrive at Daming Mansion on the second day. What are you talking about border people at that time? I am afraid that the smoke of the wolf in the north has already burned to my hinterland. If the name is lost, Ah Zhen paused at this point, and let everyone think for themselves.

After hearing his analysis, all the old ministers suddenly jumped up, and two or three people gathered together, whispering back and forth.

The emperor is also inexplicably shocked, if his name is lost, one-third of the time when the wolves of the Liao country drive straight into him will fall into the hands of the Liao country, how can this work.

"What's the strategy of Da Sima?" The emperor couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and stared at everyone with tiger eyes, and asked Ah Zhen.

Seeing the old man like this, Ah Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Don't be alarmed, Your Majesty, this is just an assumption made by this humble minister."

Hearing that he said it was a hypothesis, the green-faced royal official couldn't help nodding his head in agreement: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, this is just a hypothesis made by Da Sima."

Ah Zhen saw him open his mouth again, and after taking care of him with contemptuous eyes, he opened his mouth and said: "Although it is a hypothesis of the humble minister, if the emperor listens to the paralyzed words of the officials and officials at will, and does not take precautions against this hypothesis There is a good chance that it will become a reality."

Sure enough, what he said made the official official dumbfounded, he shook his head, he dared not open his mouth again, bowed to the emperor and then disappeared into the crowd, alas!He still doesn't want to talk anymore, let alone whether what Da Sima said is right or not, if that happens then, even if he dies, he will not be able to erase his sins.

Seeing that Zheng Dingqiao had retreated into the crowd, the emperor looked at His Highness, this bastard with a livid face, his eloquence was really good, and it made the wordy Zheng Aiqing speechless.

"Lin Aiqing, what do you think?" The emperor sighed, it seems that this battle is inevitable, but he does not want to let go of this bastard, no one knows how long he can live, he thought he could keep him by his side for a while , it seems that this wish cannot be fulfilled.

Seeing the emperor asking such a question, Ah Zhen solemnly clasped his fists and bowed his feet, puffed up his chest and said: "Your Majesty, can you order 60 soldiers and horses of [-] generals outside the city to live in Taiyuan, Zhending, and Hejian?" On the border of the three cities, just in case."

"These three prefectures already have 20 soldiers and horses from Zhengbei and Pingkou generals. Do we need such a large number of troops and horses to be stationed?" The emperor asked.

Ah Zhen shook his head and said: "The 80 soldiers and horses are probably still powerless to stop the soldiers and horses of the Liao Army."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers took a breath, 80 soldiers and horses were not enough, what kind of war should it be.

"Your Majesty, if the Liao Kingdom invades this time, they will pour out all the troops of the whole country, because they have waited too long."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded, "Just follow Da Sima's words. "I have to guard against it. After speaking, the court officials ordered: "Decree, immediately order 60 forbidden troops outside the city, and immediately send troops to the border."

"Your Majesty, first order the Taiwei to lead the troops. After the matter of Princess Chagel is resolved, I will lead the 40 troops from the south of the Yangtze River to join the Taiwei."

"That's very good." The emperor gritted his teeth and stood up and shouted: "Taiwei listened to the order, I ordered you to be the Grand Marshal of Pingliao, commanding 60 forbidden troops, and supervising all affairs on the border. life to the hardest blow"

"Decree of Weichen." After Liu Wanyang stood up, all the officials fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Everyone loves you in peace."

After Ah Zhen stood up, he took a sneaky look at Murong Xi, an old fellow, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to let the imperial officials and the prince and Taibao go together."

"Why are these?" The emperor was stunned, going to the border to fight, what do you want two civil servants for?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Ah Zhen clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these two are outstanding strategists. If Mr. Taiwei encounters a matter of indecision, you can discuss strategies with the two of them."

When he said this, Murong Xi and Zheng Dingqiao blushed with shame, they stood among the servants and dared not make a sound.The emperor tightly pursed his old mouth, not daring to laugh out loud.This bastard actually shamed the two extremely high-ranking lords in front of everyone, but what he said was also appropriate. These two people are considered to be scheming, and they stay in the court to fight against each other. It is better to let them go to the border to fight against the Liao Kingdom. Also ended up quiet.

"Uh! If that's the case, then you two should go with Da Sima." The emperor coughed his throat and ordered calmly.

The two were terrified, stood up and knelt down, "I obey the order."

"This matter has been decided, there is no need to discuss it again." After the emperor woke them up, he made a final decision.

After rubbing his sore neck, he looked at the ministers and said again: "This time, everyone must cooperate with the Taiwei and Da Sima, you understand?"

"Yes, the humble minister must be trembling and dare not act rashly."

"Okay, let's go down." The emperor stood up and waved his hand.

Wang Yu immediately shouted: "retreat"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Another bastard sounded.

When Ah Zhen stood up, Liu Wanyang and others immediately came over, "Da Sima, why did you let me go alone first?"

"It's okay, I'll see you off tomorrow morning, you go first, I'll go later." He shouldered the complaining Liu Wanyang.

"That's all there is to it."

"No problem, trust me."

"Master Da Sima, why did you bring the little old man in too? I don't know how to fight." Murong Xi cried and ate and slept well in the court, and didn't go to join him in what to do.

Seeing the fat man crying, Ah Zhen put his arm around his shoulders and said, "You have a lot of ideas, and you can see clearly. It's a waste to stay here. It's better to go to the border to have fun." .”

Murong Xi glanced at him and saw that he was actually playing with the flesh of his chin, and shook his head in mourning.

Liu Fengyang persuaded from the side: "Prince Taibao has a careful mind, and I feel relieved to have you with Wan Yang."

"Don't dare, dare not, the Taiwei praised it absurdly. Murongxi sighed, the emperor's mouth was open, and it was impossible not to go, so let's go.

"Humph" they had just finished speaking when a heavy hum came out.

Ah Zhen knew it was that old guy Zheng Dingqiao when he heard the snort, he turned his head and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, the official officials haven't gone back to make preparations yet?"

"I don't know what Da Sima An's heart is, but he transferred the old man to the border, so he wants to rule the family?" Thinking of his ten days in prison, new sorrows and old hatreds came up together, and he gritted his teeth.

Ah Zhen laughed loudly: "Anyway, you have such deep scheming, staying in the court to play tricks, why not go to the border and play with Liao Kingdom." After speaking, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Zheng Dingqiao's face turned blue with anger, he shook off his hairy hands on his shoulders, and let out another heavy snort.

Ah Zhen and Liu Wanyang looked at each other, shrugged and said with a smile: "Zheng Dingqiao, you have to think about it the other way around. If you don't have the skills, what do I suggest you go to the border for?"

Just as they were chatting hotly, Wang Yu trotted in and said to the empress, "Da Sima, Taiwei, Prince Taibao, Yuli Dafu, the emperor invites you to stay in the palace for dinner."

"Are you eating again?" Ah Zhen yelled loudly when he heard that the emperor asked him to eat, and felt uncomfortable eating with the emperor's old man.

Sweat dripped from Wang Yu's forehead, he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Da Sima, Princess Chagel is also in the palace."

"Then hurry up and lead the way." Hearing that Yingying was there, his unhappiness disappeared without a trace.

"My lords, please." Wang Yu bowed and led the way.

Except Ah Zhen, the other three were flattered and followed the dead shemale to the imperial dining room.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the imperial dining room, he saw Qin Yu and others sitting with Yingying at the luxurious table and talking.

"Yingying." Ah Zhen was very happy when he saw her, and walked towards her quickly.

Yingying heard his voice, stopped talking, stood up and said: "You are here too."

"En." After Ah Zhen nodded, he helped her introduce: "This is the official official Zheng Dingqiao." He said and gestured to the official official with a stinky face.

Zheng Dingqiao had a stinky face at first, but when he heard Da Sima's introduction, he quickly cupped his fists and bowed: "Don't dare, I have met Princess Chagel."

Seeing his hypocrisy, Ah Zhen shook his head and pointed at the chubby Murong Xi, "This is the Prince Taibao."

Yingying nodded, seeing how fat this person was, it was really mysterious, she couldn't help wondering how he got it.

"Here, I think you are no stranger to me." Ah Zhen looked at Liu Wanyang and said with a smile.

Yingying pouted and smiled at Liu Fengyang, rubbing her chest and said, "Master Taiwei, are you safe?"

Liu Wanyang blushed, clasped her fists weakly and said, "Princess Chagel, don't blame, don't blame."

"Okay, okay. Let's sit down." After speaking, he sat down next to Yingying.

As soon as he sat down, Yingying pulled him up and said: "Let's sit over there." After speaking, she dragged him to sit next to the emperor's table.

There were three black lines on everyone's foreheads, that could only be Princess Chagel's seat, and Da Sima couldn't sit anywhere, but thinking that he was King Chagel, he couldn't help being suspicious.

After Ah Zhen sat down at Yingying's table in surprise, she was extremely happy.Now those princes, princesses and concubines are all under Laozi, and he stood up happily and pointed at them and shouted: "How about it, I will finally sit on top of you too." Thinking about the first time, he still sat at the last table. , this King Chagar is really easy to use.

When everyone heard what he said, they rolled their eyes at the same time, and they felt that he was naive.
