Gonggong Mu stood quietly in the corner, so ordinary, so ordinary, as if there was no such person, but no one in Shangshutai's ministers dared to ignore him, and the first thing they saw when they entered the room was not the emperor but him.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Gonggong Mu bowed down, looked up at the emperor humbly and said: " The old slave thought that Pan Taiwei's policy was risky, but it was feasible, but the old slave thought that it could be changed slightly, Baishan Xiongnu was closer to the state, and an army could be drawn from the state, commanded by the general of the state, and the army of Yongzhou did not move, and assembled according to the policy of the captain, as for the candidate to send the desert, the old slave thought that neither the king of Qin nor the king of Taiyuan was suitable, the two princes were noble, and once the reconciliation failed, the two princes also had the command of the border army and the border army of Yongzhou, and at the same time took into account the responsibility of logistics and grass. ”

After Gonggong Mu finished speaking, he took a step back silently, the emperor calmed down, Qiu Yun shook his head and said, "The border army of Jizhou should not be moved lightly. ”

"Why?" the Emperor asked, confused.

"Your Majesty, Fang Hui has commanded the border army of Bingzhou for many years," Qiuyun said in a low voice: "There are many Hu people under his subordinates, after the rebellion of Fanghui, the hearts of the border army of Bingzhou were shaken, and some Hu generals were afraid, so the minister thought that the border army of Bingzhou should not be moved lightly. ”

"If it's pus, it has to be squeezed, which is exactly why the old slave advocates mobilizing the state border army. Mu Gonggong explained: "The composition of the border army in Bingzhou is complicated, part of it is composed of Huns, part of it is from the Southern Xianbei tribe, these people have a deep relationship with Fang Hui, after Fang Hui was executed, Fang Hui's daughter Fang Huiyun escaped, and the internal guards found her traces in Bingzhou, but soon disappeared, and the internal guards continued to investigate, and found that Fang Huiyun had been to Baishan in the Baishan Xiongnu tribe, and then lost her traces.

Fang Huiyun was able to escape from the imperial capital to Baishan, how did she escape, she had the help of those people, and the internal guards were still investigating, but there is some evidence to prove that after Fang Huiyun arrived in Bingzhou, she was protected by the border army of Bingzhou, and when she left the border army from Bingzhou, the border army once sent a team of men and horses to escort her. ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Mu took out a report and sent it to the emperor, the emperor's expression was gloomy, and the four Shangshutai ministers were even more shocked.

The Fanghui rebellion was the most serious thing at the end of the Taiding Dynasty, Emperor Taiding killed Fang Hui Manmen, as well as the cronies and guards brought back from Bingzhou, only Fang Huiyun's daughter Fang Huiyun escaped. In order to arrest her, the internal guards once blocked the whole city, but she still escaped without thinking about it, and escaped from the border of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"Lord Qiu is not wrong, the border army of Bingzhou is unstable, this is a big hidden danger," Mu Gong said fairly: "This time I sent troops out from Bingzhou, and I can squeeze out the pus. ”

"This is a risk," Zuo Chen was very dissatisfied, he resolutely opposed the eunuchs interfering in politics, when Emperor Taiding, he went up to the top, admonished the removal of the internal guards, put an end to the inner palace interference, at this moment when he heard the remarks of Mu Gonggong, his heart was even more angry, and immediately spoke out against it: "This is taking the major affairs of the imperial court as a child's play, Mu Gonggong, I ask you, what should the border army of the state state do if they rebel in the desert? Also, if this causes chaos among the border army of the state, how should the court deal with it? The court should adjust the generals of the border army to eliminate the hidden dangers! Then, the border army of the state can be used." ”

The emperor looked at Pan Ji and asked, "Captain Pan, after the Fanghui rebellion, why didn't you adjust the border army of Bingzhou?"

Pan Ji sighed softly: "Your Majesty, it's not that you haven't adjusted, but you don't know how to adjust." ”

"What are these words!" the Emperor frowned in displeasure.

"Your Majesty," Pan Ji sighed: "The Bingzhou Border Army is composed of several parts, the Bingzhou Army, the Jizhou Army, the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, the Bingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army, are all the Jizhou people who were the commander of Fang Hui and the Jizhou people who formed training in Bingzhou, and the Hu cavalry battalion formed by the Huns, the broken camp formed by the Xianbei people, has always been commanded by the Huns and Xianbei people, and Fang Hui has been in Bingzhou for more than ten years, and the relationship with the Hu people has always been better. ”

Qiuyun sighed softly, in the desert, many Hu people also followed the Great Jin to fight, at that time the Great Jin also lacked troops, especially the cavalry, so he also authorized the four governors to form the Hu cavalry, Qiuyun formed the Hu cavalry in Liangzhou, however, after the war, Qiuyun gradually eliminated the Hu cavalry, and now the Liangzhou border army is left with the Jin army, Duan Chang is the same in Youzhou, the Karasuma battalion that was originally formed was removed, but Fang Hui did not, but strengthened the Hu cavalry battalion and the broken battalion in the border army of Bingzhou.

Considering the different situations faced by Fang Hui, the imperial court also supported Fang Hui's initiative, and Fang Hui commanded this Hu army in the past few years, several times to attack the desert, for the Jin Dynasty to completely stabilize the northern desert.

In more than ten years of campaigning, Fang Hui and the Hu people have a close relationship, the Hu people are afraid and respectful of him, afraid that Fang Hui is strong in force and ruthless in means, and respect is Fang Hui's words and promises, Fang Hui has tried every means to do it, and several crises in Baishan Xiongnu and Nanxianbei have been solved with the help of Fang Hui.

Therefore, Fang Hui was killed, which not only shook Bingzhou, but also shocked the Hu people, and those who sympathized with Fang Hui not only had the border people of Bingzhou but also the Hu people, and Fang Huiyun most likely went to Baishan with their assistance.

"There are two battalions of Hu Qi in the border army of Bingzhou, the Hu Cavalry Battalion is the Huns, and the Po Camp is the Nan Xianbei people, they have a close relationship with Fang Hui," Mu Gonggong continued quietly: "And these two departments are not stable, the Hu Cavalry Battalion Captain Ling Ban, is Fang Hui's old man, he followed Fang Hui to fight at the age of nineteen, and the captain of the Po Camp Longhu is also Fang Hui's hand-pulled, the emperor still remembers that the king of Nanxian Bei competed for the throne that year, the court wanted to use Xiuqi, Fang Hui repeatedly went up to oppose it, and finally the court used Qiang Changfeng, which is the father of Longhu. ”

The emperor remembered it now, nodded lightly, and then scolded hatefully: "Fang Hui is shameless!"

Obviously, Fang Hui attributed this credit to himself and accepted the grace of the imperial court as his own, and the Hu people thanked Fang Hui instead of the imperial court.

Father-in-law Mu stopped speaking again, and lowered his head silently, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

The emperor scolded and looked at Pan Ji helplessly, but Pan Ji was waiting for Grandpa Mu to continue, but Grandpa Mu had already hid to the side, and the room fell silent for a while.

The emperor waited for a while, and when he saw that Pan Ji didn't speak and looked directly at Gonggong Mu, he woke up, turned his head and asked, "Gonggong Mu finished speaking, everyone listened." ”

Mu Gonggong said: "What the old slave means is that the border army of Bingzhou is unstable, and there are many disgruntled, and the emperor must know in his heart, and the old slave thinks that he can take this opportunity to eliminate the unstable elements in the border army of Bingzhou." ”

Qiu Yun gasped and almost screamed out, this kind of big event to clear out dissidents, this is not a child's play on military affairs!

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, looked at Pan Ji and Qiu Yun and asked, "Taiwei, Qiu Aiqing, what do you think?"

"This matter should be cautious," Qiu Yun said hesitantly: "The soldiers of the border army are all from the imperial court, and the responsibility of this envoy is heavy and cannot be underestimated. ”

Pan Ji thought for a while and said: "Gonggong Mu's words are reasonable, but in concrete terms, the risk is extremely high, the emperor, if the Hu cavalry camp or the broken camp rebels in the desert, the imperial court's strategy to stabilize the desert will fail immediately, and the desert will be chaotic." ”

The emperor pondered and sighed softly: "Let's talk about it." ”

"The minister thinks it is feasible," Pan Lian said: "To stabilize the desert, we must first stabilize the Baishan Xiongnu, the minister thought that he could send the Xianbei people to Baishan to break the camp, and gather 10,000 border troops in Yongzhou, and at the same time convene the Xianbei tribe in the west, so that Hu can be controlled." ”

Zuo Chen didn't speak, just looked at the emperor with displeasure, and the emperor knew what he wanted to say, so he bypassed him and looked at Qiuyun.

Qiu Yun smiled bitterly and continued to advise: "Your Majesty, you should be cautious in this matter, the minister thinks it is better to send troops from Yongzhou." ”

Shang Shutai disagreed again, and the emperor thought for a moment and asked, "How much can this year's annual income be?"

"The planning of various places has begun, and after next month, officials from all over the country will go to the imperial capital, and they will know when the time comes. Pan Lian replied that the above calculation is the annual financial revenue, population and household financial expenditures that will be counted in various places, as well as the social security situation, and reported to the imperial court, and after the imperial court counts, it will know how much income and planned expenditure this year is.

The emperor was very helpless, but only after the end of the last count, did he know this year's income, and this matter was not in a hurry.

After the four auxiliary ministers resigned, the emperor picked up the Shangshutai recital again, and pondered while watching, whether it was Pan Ji or Mu Gonggong's proposal, he felt that it made sense, and Mu Gonggong's policy was very attractive to him, but the problem was that this strategy was too risky, if the Hu people made chaos in the desert, then all the plans to stabilize the desert were over, and the court had to quell the rebellion, but if it succeeded, this elite could completely eliminate suspicion and become a reliable force for the imperial court.

"Alas, what a dilemma. The Emperor rubbed his temples and sighed.

"I don't want to be embarrassed. Father-in-law Cheng came over and changed the teacup, put on the new tea and said with a smile: "The emperor used to be like this, the emperor, just take a break, oh, the slave maid also wants to say hello to the emperor, the imperial doctor has seen it, and Zhong Cairen is happy." ”

The emperor smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup and sighed: "I don't know if it's a man or a woman this time, last time,... , alas, forget it, let's talk about it then. ”

The emperor already has three daughters, and every time he thinks they are sons, but they are all daughters, and the emperor does not dare to be happy easily now.

"Hehe, the slave feels that this time it must be a son. Cheng's father-in-law shook his head and said: "Didn't God say that there are only three things, the emperor has three princesses, and this fourth must be a son." ”

The Emperor finally smiled, sat up straight, took a sip of the teacup, and then asked, "Deliver the decree, take care of it, and give priority to all the items used." ”

"The slave obeys. Cheng's father-in-law smiled and prepared to retreat.

"Wait a minute," the emperor stopped him, Gonggong Cheng stood with his hands down, and the emperor smiled calmly: "Father once said that Xiao Chengzi seems to be stupid, but in fact he is wise and stupid, you tell me, how should I deal with this matter today?"

Cheng's father-in-law was slightly stunned at first and then understood, and his chubby face immediately became bitter: "Your Majesty, spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid understand this, and the slave and maid feel that it is too complicated, and let the slave and maid either buy or kill those who have different aspirations." ”

"Buy, kill!" the emperor muttered and repeated, Cheng's face was full of humble smiles, but his heart was very nervous, he had always been careful, never said much, like today, in the past ten years, there have only been one or two times, and it is not a military matter, but today is an exception.

A smile gradually appeared on the emperor's face, and he looked at Cheng Gonggong and said with a smile: "No wonder my father said that you are wise and foolish, buy and kill, good idea, good idea." ”

Father-in-law Cheng is still stupid.

Several outside the palace inside the inner guard house.

Father-in-law Mu sat on the chair, holding the teacup motionless, Gonggong Lin stood beside him, Father-in-law Bai carefully lowered his head, although he was a close confidant of the emperor's palace, he still didn't dare to be rude in front of Gonggong Mu. >++ Important notice of this site: The free APP of this site, no ads, no errors, fast updates, member synchronization bookshelf, text size adjustment, reading brightness adjustment, better reading experience, please pay attention to the WeChat public account appxsyd (press and hold three seconds to copy) Download the free reader!
