Chapter 378: The Law of Compromise

The voice of the Langlang woman echoed in the hall, and everyone looked sideways.

Although Xie Junhao was favored by the Empress Dowager Xie and trusted by Chen Xuan, the King of Qi, he did not dare to offend this Luoyan County Lord, who was raised by the Empress Dowager Xie since he was a child and was his childhood sweetheart with the Son of Heaven King Qi, so he was not annoyed when he heard this, but smiled modestly: "Master Chen, didn't the official family let us discuss?" Since it is a discussion, it is right to speak up and speak freely. ”

Chen Ningmo snorted coldly angrily: "Xie Xianggong, even if you speak freely, you must respect life, such irresponsible words, please don't say it." ”

Xie Junhao disdained to speak, touched the tip of his nose and smiled, and stopped talking.

However, Chen Hong thought for a while, tapped the desk with his knuckles, and said in a deep voice: "Ning Mo, everyone talks about things, why do you need to say what you want?" We also want to do our best to rescue the students, and please don't care about it, and don't be impatient. ”

Facing the official family, Chen Ningmo was naturally inconvenient to refute, so he had to reluctantly bow his head and say: "Yes, Ning Mo obeys the order." ”

Chen Hong nodded, looked at Yang Wenguang, who was the most experienced and well-versed in the art of war, and said: "Yang Shu's envoy, if you take a strong attack, I don't know how sure you can be?" ”

Yang Wenguang just came back from Chang'an today, at this time the armor was still on his body, his face was full of wind and dust, but he was still in good spirits, seeing the official family inquiring, he hurriedly clenched his fists and arched neatly, and said solemnly: "Official, please forgive the minister, if you take a strong attack, the casualties of the students will be very heavy." ”

Chen Hong's heart sank, and he raised his hand and said, "I also ask Privy Envoy Yang to explain to me." ”

Yang Wenguang nodded, and said solemnly: "If it is a strong attack, there will be three difficulties first, the first difficulty is that we do not know the specific number of Mingjiao disciples at present, and we cannot know ourselves; The second difficulty lies in the fact that there are more than 90 students who have been held hostage, and even if they are forcibly rescued, they are afraid that they will take care of one or the other; The third difficulty, and the most difficult, is that the painting boat is now floating on the Luo River, which increases the difficulty of rescue and reduces the power of the attack a lot. Therefore, the old minister thought that if he adopted the method of frontal attack, he could save the Tai students...... It will not exceed 30%. ”

Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill in their backs, in this way, wouldn't it be that more than 60 students would be killed or injured, such a bloody number was really terrifying, so terrible that even the official Chen Hong did not dare to give the order to attack unscrupulously.

was so dull and half-loud, Chen Hong said helplessly: "What if you release that bandit according to the requirements of the Ming Sect?" ”

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and finally Bao Zheng said: "Official, the old minister tends to release people directly, why?" As for what Xie Xianggong said just now, compromising with Mingjiao would damage the majesty of the imperial court, the old minister thought that if he could rescue the imperial students safely and soundly, not only would there not be any damage to the majesty of the imperial court, but perhaps everyone would praise the official family for loving the people like sons and attaching importance to the pillars, so it was better to let people go directly. ”

When the words fell, Sima Guang, who had been silent, sighed lightly and said: "But as Xie Xianggong said, if the Mingjiao takes this as the weakness of the court in the future, and catches a few students every three or five times to threaten the court, then what is good?" It seems that it is not advisable to release people directly. ”

All of a sudden, the thoughts of the ministers present were at an impasse, and everyone felt that they were at a loss.

Wang Anshi thought for a long time, and sighed softly: "Officials, colleagues, now that the third watch has passed, there are not many hours before dawn, so the old minister thought of a compromise for everyone to discuss. ”

Chen Hong knew that his emperor was resourceful, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "An Shixiang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Anshi said: "For today's plan, as a two-handed preparation, we must not only prepare for a strong attack, but also be prepared to release people, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

When these words landed, everyone was confused, and they all wondered why Wang Anshi, who had always been neat and tidy, said such ambiguous words at such a critical time, and saying it was equivalent to not saying it.

It was Yang Wenguang who took the lead in reflecting it, and suddenly nodded and said, "Clever plan!" An Shi Xianggong is to let us prepare for a strong attack at the same time, but also be ready to release people, if there is no chance to attack in the early morning, then we will release people directly, right? ”

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Yes, that's what it means." ”

Chen Hong suddenly understood, knowing that at this time, he could only respond to all changes with the same, and said with his head said: "Okay, Yang Wenguang, Bao Zheng, and Chen Jian listen to the order." ”

"Wechen is here!" The privy envoy Yang Wenguang, the right to know Luoyang Prefecture Yin Baozheng, and the general of Jin Wuwei Chen Jian all surrendered to the order.

Chen Hong didn't say much, and simply ordered: "Tonight, I will appoint the privy envoy Yang Wenguang as the full command, Bao Zheng and Chen Jian as the deputy commanders, responsible for rescuing more than 90 Tai students who were held hostage by the Ming Sect, the entire Jin Wuwei army is still dispatched, and all the forces of Luoyang Mansion are also at the disposal, the last word, although you let it go, I will be responsible for any problems!" ”

Hearing these words in Yang Wenguang's ears, he couldn't stop his heart from being hot.

In particular, the style of the official family being able to let them do it and take responsibility for it when something goes wrong is really admirable.

"Wechen obeys."

Chen Hong bowed his head slightly, and then said: "As for Wang Xianggong and Sima Xianggong, they will accompany me here tonight, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time, and if the Tai student is not rescued, I will not rest tonight." ”

"Son of Heaven Shengming!" Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are both happy and convinced.

As soon as the order was given, the people were to leave the temple and prepare.

"Brother Huang, Ning Mo wants to ask you."

Chen Ningmo's sudden words suddenly stunned Chen Hong, and then he asked with a wry smile: "What else do you have to say, let's say it!" ”

Chen Ningmo said solemnly: "Weichen is the son of the country, and now there are more than 90 Tai students in deep crisis, so we can't sit idly by, and ask the official family to let Weichen also accompany Yang Shumi so that they can go together and make decisions together." ”

Chen Hong bowed slightly, but he was a little worried that his cousin, who had a rather tough personality, would affect the decision-making of Yang Wenguang and others, so he couldn't help but ask with a wry smile: "Yang Aiqing, I don't know what you think about Bachelor Chen's feelings?" ”

Yang Wenguang has always liked this daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door very much, and in the face of the problem of being kicked directly by the official family, he smiled calmly: "It is naturally great to have Bachelor Chen as our staff officer." ”

Chen Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be ready to play." ”

"Official, Weichen also has an invitation!"

Everyone was stunned again, and when they raised their eyes, they saw that the person who spoke this time was Sima Tang.
