As soon as the court came, Shangguan Taiqing and Zhao Zhonghai were summoned into the Cining Palace by the Queen Mother.

Shangguan Wanrong looked at the two of them and said, "You two ministers, there is no one around now. Can you tell me what's on your mind?"

Shangguan Taiqing and Zhao Zhonghai looked at each other. Uncle Guo raised his brows slightly and said first, "The Northern Liang Army has obviously been planning to send troops to Liaodong for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that they resisted and disobeyed the decree."

A flash of surprise flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes at how her brother's tone had become harsh.

Zhao Zhonghai's face trembled at the side: "You can't say that. After all, restoring Liao is in line with public opinion and can enhance the prestige of our country. The Marquis of Beiliang also thinks about the country and the people."

"So Mr. Zhao has agreed to send troops now?" Shangguan Wanrong asked softly.

There was some doubt in the Queen Mother's tone. After all, the Zhao family was opposed to sending troops when Chen Yue presented the memorial.

"We can send troops, but the Jiangnan family may not be able to raise food and grass for the border troops." Zhao Zhonghai said without blushing.

Shangguan Taiqing and the Queen Mother cursed in their hearts at the same time.

"No matter what, the Six Ministries should still try their best to ensure the war between Nanjiang Road and Pinghan Road. As for Beiliang, we can only do what the Taifu wants first." The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead and said.

"promise!"

After the two ministers bowed and saluted, Zhao Zhonghai wisely withdrew, leaving only the brother and sister Shangguan Taiqing. After all, he was considered an outsider.

"Brother, do you see why the Zhao family suddenly changed their tone?" Shangguan Wanrong was slightly puzzled.

"Hmph." Shangguan Taiqing snorted coldly: "Didn't you see the test I just made? Now that the Jiangnan family is no longer needed to contribute money and effort, Zhao Zhonghai is thinking about wooing Chenyue again. At least verbally agreeing to send troops can make Beiliang

Please feel more comfortable."

"But, at the end of the day, it is true that Beiliang sent troops without authorization. Will it be a problem for tigers in the future?" There was a hint of worry in Shangguan Wanrong's eyebrows.

For those in power, what they fear most is someone threatening their position.

Shangguan walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "No, at least not yet. In terms of combat power, the Beiliang Army is indeed powerful, but it is just a frontier army. Chenyue comes from a humble family.

It has no foundation in the court and is not a threat. The Chang Guogong family also has 200,000 border troops, and their foundation is much deeper than Chenyue. Is it possible that we can still guard against the entire northern border army?"

Shangguan Wanrong nodded as if she had some understanding.

Shangguan Taiqing continued: "No matter who is in charge of the border army, there will always be someone with high authority. At least the Chenyue and Chang families have not fallen to the Yuwen family. For us, this is the best situation. Several forces

They will keep each other in check!"

The Queen Mother's eyes gradually became clear.

Finally, Shangguan Taiqing looked at his sister and said: "Since several major families agree to send troops to Beiliang but do not pay for it, let us just follow them. There is no need to worry about the Beiliang army being too powerful. Don't forget, we

The one we need to worry about the most now is the Yuwen family. When Tai Lei on the southern border road completely takes control of the military power in the southern border, our situation will be much better than now!"

After listening to her brother's analysis, the Queen Mother, who was over forty years old, finally nodded firmly.

The emperor must always have the power in his own hands, and the southern border army is their best hope.

Yuwen Fuzhong

Because spring has begun, Yuwen Hongru, who had been bored indoors for two months, finally had time to go out and bask in the sun.

The father and son were walking slowly in a large garden in the mansion.

What happened in the court today filled Yuwen Chenghua's brows with doubts. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Father, why did you agree to send troops to Beiliang?"

Yu Wen Hongru continued to move forward and asked without looking back: "What else can I do if I don't agree? What do you think we should do?"

Yuwen Chenghua was stunned for a moment, and then many ways to deal with this matter came to mind, but after thinking about it, he always felt that these methods had some shortcomings and were not perfect.

Seeing his son stunned for a long time, Yuwen Hongru chuckled: "It's not as complicated as you think. In the end, there are only three ways to deal with this matter."

"Three types?" Yuwen Chenghua was a little surprised and bowed: "Father, please enlighten me!"

Yuwen Hongru slowly stopped, stopped by a pond, and raised three fingers: "First, punish Chenyue's crime. Second, the merits and demerits are equal to each other, and there will be no investigation. Let the Beiliang army withdraw to Beiliang. The second is.

Three, that is what we choose now, agreeing with him to send troops to regain Liaodong. Think about it, are there only these three methods?"

Yu Wenchenghua's brain raced rapidly, and he nodded after a moment.

Yu Wen Hongru raised two fingers: "First, if he is punished, it is for resisting the decree and disobeying the border troops without permission. He will punish the nine tribes! Let's not care about the reaction of the Beiliang army when this decree is sent out.

, even if we really kill Chenyue, who should hand over these 200,000 Beiliang border troops? Beiliang Dao soldiers only obey Chenyue's orders and kill Chenyue, can these people still control them? As a person, you

Minister of War, is there any way to control these 200,000 border troops?"

Yuwen Chenghua was stunned for a moment, then a flash of shame flashed across his face, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

As the Minister of War, his control over the northern border troops can be said to be zero. Whether it is Beiliang Road or Pinghan Road, he has no way to intervene.

"In this case, what benefit does killing Chen Yue bring to us? If we propose to punish Chen Yue and the Queen Mother refuses on the spot, wouldn't it mean that the 200,000 border troops will be pushed to the Shangguan family?" Yu Wen Hongru said softly: "So

Even if I want to kill him, I can only let His Majesty say it himself!"

"What about asking him to withdraw his troops? Can we just not kill him?" Yuwen Chenghua asked in confusion.

"Haha, this path seems to be the most compromise method, but it is also the least feasible!" Yu Wen Hongru shook his head slightly.

The confusion on Yuwen Chenghua's face deepened.

"You think, Beiliang won the battle and occupied Anshun, and the imperial court suddenly asked it to withdraw its troops. How can this be true since ancient times? What do you think of the people who are making a fuss in the country?" Yu Wen Hongru said in a deep voice: "People's hearts are such a thing

, sometimes it doesn’t matter, but sometimes it turns into a sharp blade! Your Majesty and the Queen Mother sitting on the dragon throne will never adopt this plan even if they are dizzy!"

Yuwen Chenghua took a deep breath. After listening to his father's analysis, he finally discovered that Chenyue's unauthorized sending of troops this time was forcing the court to agree to regain Liaodong. The memorial full of loopholes was just a stepping stone for both parties.

"Now that the matter is over, let them fight in front. After this battle, Beiliang's elite must have been almost exhausted. Thinking this way, it may be beneficial to our plan!" Yuwen Hongru's old face suddenly appeared.

A weird smile.

Yuwen Chenghua, who was standing aside, understood instantly and laughed: "What my father said is true!"
