On the tenth day of August in the 16th year of Marquis Wei, the Great Court Meeting.

On the court hall, after all the officials paid homage, Marquis Wei took a seat on Majesty Dan, looking down at the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall.

As for the specific agenda of today's Great Court Meeting, everyone here already knows roughly in their hearts, and this is exactly what they are concerned about.

Today, there are two things that puzzled the officials in the palace.

The first thing is that, as the general of the defeated army back then, Chen Wanyun unexpectedly appeared at the court meeting that was related to the overall situation of Yanshan.

The second thing is that Wei Wuji, who was very popular among the people and the army, was not summoned by Marquis Wei this time.

One came and the other didn't. Although everyone was surprised, Wei Wuji's absence undoubtedly caught people's attention even more.

Of course, for many people in the court hall, it was a great thing that Wei Wuji did not come. This does not mean that Wei Hou simply wanted to include him in the list of worship generals.

However, in order to whitewash the peace, Marquis Wei did not come up directly to talk about Yanshan, but first discussed the war in the west with his ministers after the court meeting began.

Although the battle situation in Yanshan was rotten, the powerful enemies in the west should not be underestimated, and the western battlefield at this time was also fiercely fought.

"The widow agrees, and will mobilize [-] soldiers to the Changping Pass front. What do you think?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Hou threw out this heavy news.

Wei Wu's soldiers are only [-] in total, and they have been stationed in Wu'an Camp these years, except for those who were dispatched to capture Changping Pass a few years ago.

But right now, in order to deal with the Qin and Chu people in the west, Your Majesty dispatched [-] soldiers at once.

It can be seen from this that Marquis Wei is also not optimistic about the battle situation in the west, otherwise Wei soldiers will be sent there.

Although Wei Wuzu is powerful, it is also Wei Guo's last hole card, and it is also the hole card of Wei Guo's office.

If the military pawn loses in the battle...but this is just thinking about it. Everyone in the court still has great confidence in Wei Wupawn.

In a frontal confrontation, there is no army in the world that can compete with Wei Wuzu. This is the confidence that everyone in the court still has.

So after Wei Hou's voice fell, there was a burst of praise immediately below, to show Wei Hou's wise decision-making.

Later, Marquis Wei shifted the topic to between Qi and Lu, and at the same time praised Gao Chengde who led the army in battle, and finally there was an imperial edict to reward him.

But because his title was already high as Shangqing, he could only raise his son's title by two levels, and rewarded him with gold, silver and jade articles.

It was also this action that made Gao Chengde really feel at ease, not to worry that he had already suffered suspicion.

After finishing these things, in fact, nearly an hour has passed.

At this time, Marquis Wei finally turned the topic to the north, which was also the main topic of today's court meeting.

"My lords, you all know about the corruption of the Yanshan war!" Marquis Wei asked in a deep voice.

There is still a need to ask, there are reports that Jingbei City has been harassed, can the situation in Yanshan not be corrupted!

But with the mind of not touching the bad luck, everyone kept silent at this time, who knows if it will make Wei Hou unhappy by saying it at this time.

Seeing the silence of the crowd below, Marquis Wei was also unhappy, but he had no choice but to continue: "The Beiping Pass was breached a few days ago, and now the Xiongnu have attacked the Jingbei city. You say...why is that?"

The later he spoke, Wei Hou's tone became colder and colder, making people feel like falling into a hole in the ice.

At this time, everyone was silent, and everyone felt that being with the king is like being with a tiger.

At this moment, everyone responded, but Marquis Wei called out his names and said, "Prime Minister, tell me why!"

Guo Liangdong, who was named, couldn't help complaining, how can this kind of thing be explained clearly in a few words, even if it can be explained clearly, it is not a good thing.

But Guo Liangdong had no choice but to bite the bullet at this time, and stood up and said: "Report to your lord, the battle of Yanshan... the barbarians are fierce, and the Lingbei camp lost its vitality a few years ago. It must be very difficult to resist!"

"It seems that what the prime minister meant was that this is a crime of war?" Wei Hou asked in a deep voice.

Guo Liangdong couldn't help but bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame me for talking nonsense!"

Wei Hou shook his head, and then said to the prime minister: "You are familiar with government affairs, but neglect military affairs... Let's go back to the train!"

These words were said lightly, but to the ears of the shrewd people in the hall, the meaning of these words was almost to say that the Prime Minister was wrong.

Guo Liangdong naturally understands the truth of this, but he has to pretend to be confused when he understands some things. He can't take the initiative to blame Wu Mingyan, because it won't do him any good.

"Gentlemen, does anyone have any other opinions?" Marquis Wei asked again.

Like Guo Liangdong, Wei Hou couldn't take the initiative to say that he wanted to replace Wu Mingyan, after all, it seemed that he was too impatient.

After all, Wei Wuzu has already taken the initiative to push out today, and if Wu Mingyan is continuously replaced, doesn't that mean that the situation has already made Weihou, the Dinghaishenzhen, not calm.

Therefore, this can only be said by the ministers on the spot, and then Wei Hou will ask the people below for advice.

Later, Wei Hou could only order a few more people to come out, but these guys also talked about him, but they just didn't take the bait.

For these people, it is acceptable for them not to replace Wu Mingyan. Anyway, Wei Wuji cannot be given the possibility to rise to the top, even if this person does not appear in the court now.

And after suffering for a long time, someone finally stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think... the Lingbei Camp has lost consecutively, and the leading generals are to blame for this!"

Marquis Wei saw that this person was none other than Zongzheng Wei Hongsheng.

After the Zongzheng Mansion incident, Wei Hongsheng always wanted to show his loyalty to Marquis Wei, but it was a rare opportunity.

Seeing Wei Hou's other officials stuck here this time, Wei Hongsheng thought he had found an opportunity, so he said what Wei Hou wanted to hear.

As a member of the public office, the dispute between the aristocratic clan and the poor family does not matter to Wei Hongsheng, he only needs to please Wei Hou.

After hearing what Wei Hongsheng said, Marquis Wei said, "Zongzheng, what do you mean by that?"

Wei Hongsheng couldn't help but feel happy, he finally prescribes the right medicine, because he can see the color of encouragement from Wei Hou's eyes.

So Wei Hongsheng boldly said: "Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is that General Wu Mingyan of the Zhu Kingdom cannot absolve himself of the blame for the successive defeats in the Yanshan battle!"

At this time, Marquis Wei didn't continue to ask Wei Hongsheng, but turned to all the ministers present and said, "Do you think Zongzheng's words make sense?"

As long as someone starts this, then things will be easy to handle, and it seems that there is nothing that cannot be said.

So, someone immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think Zong Zheng's words are justified!"

It was none other than Wei Wuji's father-in-law, Cao Rui, who was also in court now.

The purpose of his speaking out was precisely to push his son-in-law out as soon as possible. After all, it was also related to the safety of his daughter and the future of the entire Cao family.

Although Cao Rui's purpose was impure, no one stood up and accused him at this time. After all, the most critical time for this court meeting came next.

So, I heard Wei Hou say: "In my opinion, Wu Mingyan did have some omissions in the process of resisting the Huns!"

This is when Marquis Wei came off the stage to speak in person, and everyone could not reply quickly at this time, so the court began to discuss Wu Mingyan's fault.

This is when the wall fell and everyone pushed, Wei Hou was upset when he saw this situation, so he snorted coldly and stopped the noise of the crowd.

Then I heard him ask the crowd: "My lords, is there anyone who is willing to go to Yanshan to relieve the crisis?"
