Chapter 49: Yuan Kang Raises the Bar
Three days later, Li Xiaofei took Murong Ling to attend the court meeting. The emperor privately rewarded Murong Ling with a set of gorgeous clothes. After putting them on, Murong Ling immediately showed her handsome and white temperament. Even Xie Rui, who has always regarded himself as gentle as jade, also
I have to admire it.
Wang Xian also rushed back from Danyang and sat in the first place on the right with the dignity of a general. Xiao Shan was in the first place on the left. Xiao Ding, Yuan Kang and Xie Rui sat down outside the palace door in turn. Li Xiaofei sat in the last seat on the right, and Murong Ling took the last seat on the right.
Sit in the last seat on the left.
Liu Xuan glanced at the ministers and then spoke: "In the first month of the first month, I sent an envoy to Chang'an. After three months of hardships and dangers, he finally returned to the court. However, the Imperial Academy's Master Xie Dan was unfortunately in trouble, and the Chang'an Minister Qin Shun was living in a foreign country. I am very sorry.
In order to feel sad, the deputy envoy Li Xiaofei was not afraid of the powerful enemy and returned the internal situation of the Qin State and the secret letters of the state one by one. Now it is passed on to all the important ministers to review the details."
After Liu Xuan finished speaking, Qin Zhong and more than a dozen other internal eunuchs handed Cui Hong and Hu Jian's secret letter to Hou Dong's edict and copied copies one by one to the civil and military officials in the main hall.
While the ministers were watching, Liu Xuan spoke again: "Today's meeting is to discuss with you the future strategies for the Qin State and the Black Flag Khanate and the Green Flag Khanate. Previously, I wanted to reconcile with the Qin State, but Qin State is currently in internal chaos.
, a country with three princes, there will soon be civil strife, even if a peace treaty is signed, it will be a piece of paper. The kings, civil servants and generals of the Qin State all want to cede land to me, Daliang, and want to use my Daliang sword to eradicate dissidents. I want to hear your opinions."
At this time, Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered what the three major families of the Qin Kingdom told him in Chang'an City, saying that the families are all interconnected with each other, so Cui Hong must have contacted at least the Xiao family, the Wang family, and the Xie family before he came back.
, then most people participating in the court meeting this time will definitely choose a strategy that is beneficial to Cui Hong.
Wang Xian was the first to speak: "I think that the Qinghe Cui family's strategy of cutting off the Han Dynasty and Qi Dynasty is feasible. I will send His Royal Highness the King of Han and Chen Qiaoqi to attack the Han Dynasty. I will lead the army out of Huainan and go north to regain the Qi Dynasty. In this way, most of the Central Plains will be recovered."
The country has been restored. The most important thing is that Qin is unable to resist the two-front war."
Xiao Shan then spoke: "I think the words of the Cui family in Qinghe cannot be fully believed. If our Liang army and the main force of the Qin army are both injured, and the Cui family goes east again to clear the pass and reap the benefits of the fishermen, then the Han Dynasty will be lost again, and our Liang army will be lost again."
Losing troops and horses in vain but taking chestnuts from the fire for others."
Wang Xian glanced at Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding immediately said: "What Prime Minister Zuo said makes sense. Since the two armies cannot guarantee the eventuality, it is better to send an additional army, led by Prime Minister Zuo himself, to go north to Yecheng and sweep across Yan and Zhao.
Land, wouldn’t it be beautiful to have such a unified country?”
Xiao Shan nodded and looked at Xie Rui. Xie Rui was about to speak, but Yuan Kang preempted him: "I'm afraid these three adults are daydreaming. If we can send out three armies, won't Qin resist them in three ways? Can they today?"
If you cede all the land of Korea to us, Daliang, can't you cede all the land of Korea to Mobei in exchange for reinforcements? How can there be any wishful thinking in a war? "
Everyone in the court looked at Yuan Kang. They usually thought that the old man was a stubborn nerd, but what he said today was so clear. Xie Rui couldn't help but admire him, and was secretly glad that he didn't echo Wang Xian Xiaoshan's words.
speak out.
Xie Rui reacted quickly and said immediately: "Master Yuan is thoughtful and thoughtful, which is a blessing to me in Daliang. Maybe the monarchs and ministers of Qin have been waiting for the price for a long time. It depends on which side takes the bait first, us or Mobei. It is best between us in Daliang and Mobei."
The northern capital came to compete for the territory of Han and Qi. They watched from the other side and maybe took the opportunity to invade Shu."
As soon as these words came out, even Wang Xian broke out in a cold sweat. The land of Shu was also the territory of the Wang family of Taiyuan. If he did not conquer Qi, but the Cui family took over the land of Shu, it would be a big loss. So.
He quickly reported to Liu Xuan: "I would like to lead the army to help Shu and strengthen the defense. Please also ask your majesty to order the King of Han and the Hussar General to attack Luoyang to buy time for our army to deploy defenses."
Liu Xuan nodded: "That's very good. Attack Luoyang first to see how Qin will react, and cast stones to ask for directions. But Qi has to defend itself. I ordered Sikong Xie Rui to rush to Huainan to control the states and counties in Huainan, train troops and horses, and prepare for the Qin army.
Go south!”
Xiaoshan Xiao Ding was about to speak, but Wang Xian glanced at him and swallowed his words.
Yuan Kang then spoke: "Deputy envoy Li Xiaofei went to Qin as an envoy, but he was unable to protect the envoy Zhou Quan. The peace treaty failed and it was a disgrace to the mission. I ask that Li Xiaofei be killed to restore order to the court!"
Everyone in the main hall was shocked. What kind of trick did Situ want to play? Who didn't know that Li Xiaofei led people to cure the emperor's chronic illness for many years a few days ago. Yuan Kang actually openly proposed to behead Li Xiaofei. Could it be that this old man's head
broken
Li Xiaofei was extremely angry at first, but when he thought that Yuan Kang was a nerd, he didn't care and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty. Wang Xie and others quickly smoothed things over, saying that Li Xiaofei had worked hard and brought back a soldier and horse, and invited Li Xiaofei to
The successor of the miracle doctor cured the emperor's illness and so on.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Kang refused to give up: "You want to recruit soldiers privately to rebel? Li Xiaofei is suspected of treason. Please kill Li Xiaofei again to thank the world."
Even Liu Xuan, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know where Li Xiaofei had offended Yuan Kang, so he quickly comforted Yuan Kang: "Master Yuan adheres to the imperial system and is commendable for his loyalty. Li Xiaofei has confessed everything to me and committed the death penalty. I have spared him."
His life, please Master Yuan also let him go."
Even the emperor came forward to plead for mercy, Yuan Kang finally gave up, and Li Xiaofei also breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Xuan looked at Murong Ling, remembered something, and said to the courtiers: "Murong Ling, who is at the end of the seat, is the direct disciple of Divine Doctor Li. I want to appoint him as the commander of the bodyguards. What do you think?"
Wang Xian, Xiao Shan, Xiao Ding and Xie Rui all agreed. After all, the guard commander was not very successful and had only a hundred people under his command. It had nothing to do with the overall situation, so they went along with the situation and gave the emperor a favor.
But Yuan Kang struck again: "This person's origin is unknown, and he is not from the Central Plains. We cannot entrust this person with the responsibility of guarding the Forbidden Palace!"
Liu Xuan almost got angry, but he still held back his smile and said: "Since Yuan Situ objects, then grant him the position of guerrilla general and continue to serve in the army."
Wang Xie and others heard about Murong Ling's ability. When they heard that he was going to be appointed to a military position, they almost shouted the word "no". However, they had already approved the position of commander of the fourth-grade bodyguard, and now they came to oppose Murong.
If Ling becomes a seventh-grade guerrilla general, others will think that they are abnormal, and their opinions will often be opposed by others in the future. They have no choice but to applaud them and praise the emperor and Yuan Kang again.
Murong Ling knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Emperor." Liu Xuan motioned for him to stand up, walked to the main hall, took off his jade belt and gave it to Murong Ling: "General Murong, this is my personal belongings. I feel like seeing this jade belt."
I, you can use this jade belt to enter and leave the palace, and you can always listen to my call."
Murong Ling thanked him again, and the court meeting ended soon. The ministers dispersed, and Wang Xian walked to Li Xiaofei: "You kid, you'd better never come to Jinling again, or one day Yuan Situ will punish you according to the court system.
