78 Chapter 77

After all, it was a matter of war, and there were a lot of officials from the Ministry of War, and seeing that everyone had discussed for a long time and had not come to any conclusion, an official stood up with a little hesitation on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." ”

Yang Yi glanced at the other party and found that he didn't know - he knew too few officials - and didn't say much, and asked, "What do you want to say?" That is, I won't scold you. ”

His tone was not friendly, he chose to stay in Shangjing after being scolded by Wei Yunqing before, but he didn't have much confidence in the end, and now that these ministers before meeting him couldn't think of any good way, he was a little apprehensive, and the idea of wanting to escape from afar came out again.

Seeing this, the official felt a little weak in his heart, but he still stubbornly said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." Weichen Zhao Zhen, the head of the Ministry of War, thought that with the strength of Shangjing now, it would not be difficult to resist the Great Song Army, and if the troops were properly dispatched, they could defeat the other party. ”

After listening to it for so long, he finally heard a word that was in his liking, Wei Yunqing's eyes lit up and he looked over.

Zhao Zhenzhao is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a handsome face, a short beard, and the temperament of a weak scholar, who has obviously never been on the battlefield. At this moment, he led the crowd and became the core in an instant, his face was slightly cramped, but his tone was very calm.

The Ministry of War has four functional departments, the Armed Forces Division, the Staff Division, the Vehicle Driving Division, and the Arsenal Division. Among them, the function of the Military Selection Department is equivalent to the entire ministry, but it is in charge of the selection, appointment, examination and selection of military attachΓ©s, and it is the department with the most oil and water. As for the staff department, it is in charge of the war, so it seems to have a lot of power, but it is actually the most tragic department, in addition to the military generals who lead the troops to be unlucky if they lose the war, the staff division that designated the conquest plan also has to push a scapegoat out to be punished, so when the war is frequent, the personnel turnover of the staff department is quite fast, and it is also a department that everyone avoids. The staff department has one of the five products, one of the five products, and two of the six products, and this Zhao Zhen is one of them.

Daliang stipulates that ordinary officials can only go to the court if they are above the fourth grade, and they can go to the court if they are officials, but the six sections of the seventh-grade officials are given to the middle of the matter and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history, and the power is small, and they can go to the court when something happens. Zhao Zhen, the ordinary head of the military department, does not even have the qualifications to go to the court on weekdays, and even the emperor has only met a few times. It's also courageous to be able to stand up when everyone has no idea - this shot is a bird in the head, and if he is not careful, he will become a hapless scapegoat.

As for Zhao Zhen's courage, the rest of the military department is naturally quite appreciative - fighting a war is the business of the military department, and if someone comes forward to pick up the burden, the others will be safe.

Of course, there is also one dissatisfied.

"That Great Song Army Commander drove straight in, the momentum is unstoppable, you are just a little master, where do you have the confidence to say such things? Even Yan Rusong didn't resist it, you, a scholar who has never been on the battlefield, dare to jump out and say something? Aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner for the ages? ”

It was Li Shan, the assistant minister of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of War, who rebuked Zhao Zhen, the boss of Zhao Zhen's boss. Yan Rusong is also a member of Li Shan's military department, because of Yan Rusong's achievements, Li Shan admired Yan Rusong quite a lot, otherwise Yan Rusong would not have risen so quickly in the military department, and he became the right attendant of the military department at a young age. After all, Yan Rusong came up from the martial arts, and he is an outlier among the officials who are all selected for the liberal arts examination, and he is often considered to have a bad background, but the right attendant of the military department is a big official of the third grade, also known as Shao Sima, many officials with a bad background can not be promoted to such a grade in their lives, Yan Rusong is so young but has already worshiped Shao Sima, I have to say that it is a miracle. Although this is inseparable from the excellence of his personal ability, it also depends on Li Shan's many recommendations.

Now that Yan Rusong was killed by a traitor, Li Shan's heart was full of regret, and he naturally disliked Zhao Zhen's arrogant behavior.

Li Shan is not only his boss, but also an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and he is quite powerful in the court, Zhao Zhen was scolded by him, his heart was a little empty, his face was scornful, he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak.

Hearing Li Shan mention Yan Rusong, Wei Yunqing felt a pain in his heart, pursed his lips and closed his eyes, then coughed, looked at Li Shan and said lightly: "Lord Li, then do you have a way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Li Shan was asked, although he didn't like Wei Yunqing and a woman to ask about things that shouldn't be in her hands, but after all, Daliang's head and brain were all in place at this moment, and the emperor maintained this Wei family tightly, so he didn't have the courage to pick up the tiger's whiskers. As for the fact that Wei Yunqing helped to get support from the emperor for him and Wen Huai's lordship and opinion in the past, although she could be regarded as helping them at the beginning, the sudden dispatch of troops by the Great Song Dynasty slapped them in the face, which made him naturally a little more angry with Wei Yunqing - if she hadn't done this at that time, he would not have been ridiculed by Mao Yirong for his wrong decision now when he seized the opportunity.

And it just so happened that Wei Yunqing didn't like Li Shan either, and the conversation between the two was destined to be full of gunpowder.

Li Shan said: "Weichen thinks that the morale of the Great Song Dynasty is sufficient, and my Liang lost a general first, and now the morale is at its lowest, and it has fallen behind." Defending the city is not the best policy. Taking a step back, even if he wants to defend the city, the emperor should not stay in the city. The events of the battlefield are unpredictable, no one knows what will happen at that time, and the emperor should never take risks. ”

Wei Yunqing sneered: "Master Li, what you said is wrong. As you said, what my Liang lacks the most now is morale, according to your meaning, the Great Song Dynasty called, but the emperor fled, do you think this can boost the morale of my Liang? I'm afraid that if I hear this news, there will be many more deserters in the Beijing camp! Even the emperor had no confidence in holding Shangjing and fled, how did you let the soldiers show twelve points of courage to fight the Great Song Army? ”

Li Shan had nothing to say with a calm face. What Wei Yunqing said is also true, but there are priorities, this emperor's life is naturally more important than other things, even if he loses Shangjing? As long as the emperor is still there, this beam is still there. But he is not easy to say this, after all, it is unlucky, and he is afraid that he will be said to be a bad star.

"Second," Wei Yunqing didn't finish his words, and continued to add, "There are so many people in the Beijing camp, and the emperor escapes, it can't be the commander of the light pole, right?" A large number of people must be brought with them, and the personnel have been transferred, how many people can be left to defend the city? This not only put the lives of the soldiers who were left behind to defend the city, but also gave a city to the Great Song Dynasty in vain! Daliang has built the capital in Shangjing for hundreds of years and has never broken the city, is Lord Li planning to watch Shangjing destroy in your hands? ”

Hearing this, Li Shan's face turned dark, and he said with a calm face: "Weichen naturally has no such intentions!" ”

Yang Yi looked at Wei Yunqing, who was uncertain, and then looked at Li Shan, who couldn't refute, gritted his teeth and said, "I won't leave!" I want to stay and advance and retreat together with the people of Shangjing! ”

Thinking of the imminent arrival of the Great Song Army, his heart was uneasy, but since Sister Yunqing said that she wanted to stay and defend the city, then he ...... Let's be brave! She is a fairy in the sky, there must be a way to guard Shangjing, he doesn't need to panic, don't panic......

No matter how hesitant Yang Yi was in his heart, at least the expression on his face was firm enough, and most of the courtiers knew that they were afraid that they would not be able to leave, and they couldn't help but worry about the future in their hearts. But there are also some people who still don't approve of Yang Yi staying on the adventure.

I saw Mao Yirong excitedly said: "Your Majesty! The old ministers are willing to stay and live and die with Shangjing, but the emperor, you better get out of the city as soon as possible! The Great Song Dynasty is menacing, what will happen in a few days, it is really unpredictable, the emperor, you can't be in danger! ”

Yang Yi glanced at Wei Yunqing, met her gaze, and then fixed his mind, his face was resolute: "I have already decided, you don't need to say it again." ”

"Your Majesty, you have to think twice!" Mao Yirong frowned and said unwillingly.

Li Shanjin and Mao Yirong stood on the same front and persuaded Yang Yi to think twice. Wen Huai looked at the excited colleagues, then looked at Wei Yunqing, who had a cold face and did not speak, as if he had changed from the past, and Yang Yi, whose attitude suddenly became resolute, closed his lips tightly and did not speak. He himself is inclined to let the emperor go first, but looking at the current situation, the emperor is not willing to go at all, I am afraid that even if they persuade him, it will be useless.

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Wei Yunqing frowned slightly, and turned his head sideways to say something to Cao Jun. Cao Jun nodded, bypassed the noisy people in front of him, came to Zhao Zhen, who was thrown aside and ignored, and asked him to walk to Wei Yunqing.

It was obvious that Zhao Zhen had something to say before, but he was interjected by Li Shan halfway, and then the topic diverged, and in front of the quarrelsome cabinet ministers, he was a minion, so naturally he could only stay awkwardly, and he didn't know what to do.

"Lord Zhao, you just said that it is not difficult to resist the Great Song Army, can you tell me the truth in this?" Wei Yunqing's attitude was modest, and he looked like he was listening.

Li Shan, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, does not talk too much gossip when he works in the Ministry of War, while Zhao Zhen has only been in the post of director of the Ministry of War for half a year, and he has not yet mixed up with his boss and is willing to reveal the palace to him. The familiarity of the news, so Zhao Zhen didn't know about Wei Yunqing's temporary entry into the cabinet. However, when Cao Jun called him over, he said that the imperial concubine Niangniang invited him over, and he understood who she was, after all, the matter of the emperor and the imperial concubine was also spread among the female relatives of the ministers of the previous dynasty, so the princesses of the female dependents could also hear a lot. Seeing that Wei Yunqing appeared on the current agenda as a woman, Zhao Zhen did not dare to slack off - as for the statement that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics...... The emperor and the cabinet don't mention it, what is he mentioning it for? was hated by the imperial concubine and the emperor who loved the imperial concubine very much.

Zhao Zhen said without humility or arrogance: "Hui Niangniang, Weichen has checked the military report before, although the Great Song Army claims to be 500,000 troops, but in fact, only about 200,000 people attacked Jinyang, and the Beijing camp now has 100,000 people, plus Jingwei, the number is not too much worse than the Great Song Army." Sun Tzu Youyun: The army is strategic, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. The Great Song army came from afar, and the grain and grass were not sufficient, and we had to always worry that our army attacking from other directions was already at a disadvantage. In this way, as long as our side firmly occupies Shangjing, the Great Song Army will be doubled, and there is nothing to do about taking Shangjing. ”

Wei Yunqing thought for a moment and asked: "Lord Zhao, I have had close contact with the Great Song Army, it's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my own prestige, it's just that this Great Song Dynasty soldiers are brave and mighty, and my Great Liang soldiers are really inferior compared to them, but I am afraid that the 200,000 troops of the Great Song Military Region can be worth the 400,000 troops of my Great Liang, such a gap, can you count it?" ”

She forced Yang Yi to stay in Shangjing, and she didn't do it on the spur of the moment. Now that there is someone who speaks with data and can communicate with her, she naturally needs to ask clearly. After all, this battle for the defense of Beijing is related to the national fortune of Daliang, and she hopes that the overall fault tolerance rate can be larger, so that the dam will not collapse due to a small mistake.

Zhao Zhen was stunned, as an intellectual who talked on paper, he did not have an in-depth study of the combat power of the Great Song Dynasty, and when he estimated it, he naturally came according to the standards of the soldiers of the Great Liang, and now when he heard Wei Yunqing say this, he was also worried in his heart, and he was silent.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!"

On the other side, Yang Yi suddenly raised his voice.

Mao Yirong and the others were startled by his voice, and when they heard what he said, they collectively fell silent. The pride and tragedy in these words are an emperor's greatest responsibility to the country, they couldn't imagine that the originally stubborn little emperor would have such a consciousness, and those words of persuasion could not be said again.

"Back to Niangniang, Weichen has thought about it!" Zhao Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Wei Yunqing, his face full of determination.

At this time, the ministers were moved by Yang Yi's words, and the collective did not speak, so Zhao Zhen's voice was quite abrupt, and the rest of the people looked at it one after another, and then they were all puzzled - when did this kid run away with his mother? What did these two say when they didn't hear them?

"Lord Zhao, please speak." Wei Yunqing paused, looked around, and said with a smile, "If you adults are not busy, you can listen to it too." She raised her eyes to look at Yang Yi and smiled again, "Your Majesty, what do you say?" ”

Yang Yi was being pestered by the ministers just now, how did he know what Wei Yunqing said to Zhao Zhen? Hearing her ask at this moment, he didn't want to nod his head immediately: "Okay, of course!" Listen, y'all! 166 Reading Network
