The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 266

Chapter 266

Li Er was also full of doubts. After all, the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army were comparable to the Xuanjia Army.

In short, if the soldiers of the Northern Liang Army put on heavy armor, they could transform themselves into the Xuanjia Army directly.

So when Bai Jingyi said that these scholars would become soldiers of the Northern Liang Army, all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised.

At the same time, these people thought in their hearts that it was Bai Jingyi who wanted to expand the army.

Even so, soldiers should be selected from among those refugees, not these scholars.

Therefore, Li Er asked directly: "Why would Bai Aiqing say such a thing!? How could these scholars become soldiers!?"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help asking even more impatiently: "If all these scholars can become soldiers of the Northern Liang Army! Then do my two sons also have a chance to become a member of the Northern Liang Army soldiers!?"

Yu Chigong said mockingly in a buzzing voice: "Your family is not far from you old man!"

"Don't send them out to harm the King of Beiliang. You'd better stay at home and raise them yourself! It's like raising two wild monkeys! Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The originally tense atmosphere in the court hall suddenly became more relaxed because of Yu Chigong's words.

All the civil servants and generals, especially those who fought with Cheng Yaojin on the battlefield, laughed even louder.

Cheng Yaojin pointed at Yu Chigong cursingly and said: "Your grandpa's grandma's grandpa's, Yuchi is stupid, you are looking for a beating!"

The two of them were about to raise their hands in the court hall while they were talking.

Li Er roared with black lines all over his head, "What is the order above the court!?"

After the two heard Li Er's roar, they immediately stood in their positions and remained silent.

The rest of the generals also tried their best to hold back their smiles.

Then Li Er turned his gaze to Bai Jingyi and said, "Quickly tell me, why did these scholars become soldiers of the Northern Liang Army!?"

But Bai Jingyi smiled faintly, and then slightly cupped his hands to Li Er and said, "Heh! Wei Chen is the first-rank officer of Zhenbei Great General!"

"Naturally there is a responsibility to recruit talents!"

"So these scholars, after entering Liangzhou, will become soldiers of our Northern Liang Army!"

"Because Wei Chen only recruits soldiers, not officials!"

When he heard this sentence, a minister immediately stood up, bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "Dare to ask the King of Beiliang, how can we make the scholars of the Shandong gentry willingly become soldiers of the Beiliang Army!? "

At the same time, another minister stood up and bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "Your Majesty, how dare you ask the King of Beiliang! After turning the scholars from Shandong gentry into soldiers of the Beiliang Army! Do you still want to fight with the army!?"

"The soldiers of the Northern Liang Army are all elite soldiers. If these scholars enter the barracks, wouldn't they be asking for trouble!?"

Bai Jingyi didn't even need to ask, he could guess that these two ministers were definitely ministers from the Shandong gentry lineage.

So Bai Jingyi smiled lightly.Looking at the two from the back, he said, "Oh! Why does this king answer your questions!?"

"Above the court, this king is talking to the Holy One. Could it be that you are trying to overstep the mark!?"

However, although these two ministers were flustered, they were for the sake of the scholars of the Shandong gentry, for their teachers, and for their classmates.

They could only argue with reason: "Could it be that the King of Beiliang is going to force the scholars of the Shandong gentry to become soldiers of the Beiliang Army!?"

"If these scholars go out with the army, they will be hard to survive on the battlefield!"

"In that case, isn't the King of Beiliang still..."

"Shut up for me!" While speaking, Bai Jingyi turned around, looked at the two with cold eyes and said, "I haven't finished my words yet!"

"You interrupted the king again and again!?"

"Could it be that the disciples and grandchildren of Confucius are so virtuous!? If that's the case, don't you want to be a scholar of the Shandong gentry!"

"you……"

The two ministers were too angry to speak.

As long as they dare to refute, Bai Jingyi can use the following crimes to directly put the two of them in the prison.

And Bai Jingyi still didn't forget to smile lightly and said: "Heh! What are you two!? Are you worthy to question this king!?"

Bai Jingyi scolded the two ministers in the hall, but Li Ershuo turned a blind eye and didn't take it seriously at all.

As for the other ministers, they looked at the two of them as if they were fools.

As for the two of them, they could only stand there with pale faces, not daring to say a word.

After all, they are few and far between, and they come from poor families.

Standing up this time is just to seek justice for the former teacher and those former classmates.

However, if this causes them to lose their official uniforms, then the two of them will definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.

For the sake of their own glory and wealth, the two of them could only swallow their anger and bowed to Bai Jingyi and said: "The lower officials contradicted the King of Beiliang with words! I really did not intend to offend! I also hope that the King of Beiliang will forgive me." !"

"I don't intend to offend you, please forgive me, the king of Beiliang!"

However, Bai Jingyi didn't care too much about these two officials from humble backgrounds.

If you want to, kick the two of them out of the court, you don't have to do it yourself.

Maybe at this time tomorrow, you can see that the two of them are already in the prison.

Bai Jingyi just glanced at the two of them indifferently, then turned around and continued to bow to Li Er and said, "Soldiers of the Northern Liang Army, all the people they need are elites!"

"However, most of my Beiliang Army soldiers can't read or write!"

"If in the future, when we are on the battlefield, when there is military aircraft information to be conveyed, the general dies in battle, but the soldiers don't know the content of the information, how should we solve this!?"

"Besides, there are nearly 33 Beiliang troops in Liangzhou, how many masters do we need to teach them to read and write!?"

"At the same time, there are nearly 200 million refugees in Liangzhou who cannot read and write! Those children who should have entered school have no chance to study at all!"

"Now the Holy Majesty has rewarded me with the cracked soil of Liangzhou, and made me the king of Beiliang! Don't I care about my own glory and wealth, and don't care about the life and death of the people of Liangzhou!?"

When hearing Bai Jingyi's words, all the civil and military officials present changed their impression of Bai Jingyi.

In their hearts, Bai Jingyi was no longer that young man who only knew how to fight and kill.

He is an important minister of the country who is for the country and the people and has a heart of innocence.

All of a sudden, Bai Jingyi's image became much bigger in the hearts of Li Er and Man Chao Wenwu.

Even many ministers feel ashamed.

Bai Jingyi looked around, and then said: "These scholars claim to be the disciples of Confucius!"

"If you can't even teach the most basic literacy to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!?"

"How can you talk about entering the court as an official, and how can you talk about serving the country and the people!?"

"Could it be that the Holy Majesty wants to recruit a group of incompetent officials into the court? If so, I'm afraid this court..."

When talking about this, Bai Jingyi deliberately paused, leaving enough space for Li Er and the others to imagine what the consequences would be...
