In the silent court, everyone looked at the aloof Majesty, and no one spoke. Although most people knew about this matter last night, no one came forward first.
Seeing such a cold silence, Wei Qian directly asked by name: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are the head of the civil servants. In the current situation, Daxia has been defeated one after another, and the princes bordering Daxia, only our family has not moved. What do you think of this matter?"
?”
Zhang Xin was already over sixty years old and his hair had turned white, but he was still in good spirits. When he heard Wei Qian's inquiry, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can't act too hastily at this time, so we will wait and see first.
It was a coincidence that the country captured Suolong Pass, and it was also the result of Daxia's deployment of southern frontier troops. In fact, now that Daxia has built several defense lines in the north, Sanman and Zhao can no longer take advantage, even last year
There are still tens of thousands of people to lose, so we have to wait and see, wait for the situation to change, and then make a decision before taking action."
Just as Zhang Xin finished speaking these steady words, Wei Nao had already come out and said: "Father, I feel that this matter must not be delayed. The world has changed greatly. Back then, our country, Yue, was the first to show its loyalty. That's because the country of Yue
The country has been fighting fiercely for years, and the annexed land also needs to be digested. Now that the weather has been good in the past few years, the southern Chu country can only protect itself and has no worries. If you don't leave Hidden Dragon Mountain now, how long will you wait? Do you have to wait for other countries to encroach on Daxia?
We will only move when we are ready to fight for world hegemony again? How will our country, Dai Viet, face those countries that are expanding in territory and becoming more powerful at that time?"
The statements on both sides are indeed in line with the personalities of the two princes. One is calm and the other is quite aggressive but also good at seizing opportunities.
Then the courtiers representing both sides also stood up one after another to express their opinions. The court had not yet become a battlefield, and there was a lot of quarrels and bad gestures.
Guo Shuang just listened and didn't interrupt until both sides were able to stand up. Then he looked at Wei Han standing above him and asked, "Han'er, what does he think about that matter?"
Although Wei Han was also standing under the court, he didn't speak much. Now that Wei Ying took the initiative to ask, I could only stand up and said: "Father, my thoughts are the same as yours. Wait and see, think carefully before moving forward."
You can move, but you can’t prepare first. If nothing changes, you will be caught off guard.”
As soon as Wei Han finished speaking, Wei Qian took the initiative to stand up and said: "Father, in this world of small disputes, you need to be decisive and sharp. Determination is decisive. You missed the opportunity."
The two brothers cannot be said to be tit for tat, and Wei Qian is even more sharp.
"Many of those people are soldiers of the Chu Kingdom. They add up to less than half of them. If there is enough time, it will be no problem to hand them over to the Eighth Palace for quick training. However, the battle situation is changing rapidly. If that army can form a battle in a short time,
Li Fei Taiwei Xiaoren followed him personally. The reason for this must be known to everyone, because we are all Taiwei Xiaoren's soldiers, and Taiwei Xiaoren is also the consort of Chu State. I doubt that as long as we use troops against Chu State, we
Is there any problem with loyalty?" Sun Zan said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Wei Qian didn't care at all. Instead, he expressed gratitude. It seemed that he had not considered the matter of the Imperial Army at all.
Wei Ying was not surprised when he saw that I actually agreed to the matter, but soon I realized it. If Wei Qian had led that army, how about such a forbidden army? Now that Lin Haoming has returned to the capital, because Wang Jiangman empress
He has been ill for two years and is temporarily commanding the Forbidden Army. However, Lin Haoming will definitely lead the Forbidden Army for a long time, because the prince will definitely be the commander of the Forbidden Army.
If the crown prince holds the post concurrently, I can always hand over the imperial army to me when the time comes. Besides, it would be bad to train the new army in a year or two.
Seeing me talking like that, Wei Ying felt helpless for a while, and asked Zhu Feiling: "Marshal Zhu, when it comes to military affairs, he is a leader in the court. What does he think about this matter?"
Wei Ying looked at the two sons, and now looked at Wei Han. He was a little eager for Wei Han to stand up again, but the son was too silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Why?" Wei Ying asked.
As soon as Lin Haoming opened his mouth, Sun Zan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who was now over seventy years old, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the weather was good in those few years, and the Chu and Wu territories have not become more stable. In the next few years, due to the two places,
In the battle, many people were captured and used as laborers. I think we cannot be organized into an army. Some of them are not soldiers of Wu and Chu. If we use troops in the south, there will be no problem. However, in other places, we will be punished for meritorious service.
, will definitely become a weak army."
"Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate for the Eighth Palace to lead that army." At that time, Wei Nao actually stood up and refused.
"Father, your Wei family has always been a daughter of a horse. My father even personally organized the governor's army in what is now the royal capital. I am willing to lead a new army." At that time, Guo Shuang suddenly stood up again.
Wei Ying closed his eyes at this time. He looked at the others for a long time, staring at Zhang Xin first and asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, what does he think about that matter?"
After hearing this, Wei Ying couldn't help but laugh, and first glanced at Lin Haoming.
Guo Shuang's performance at this time really made Guo Shuang happy. Since before the Wei family took over the country, the descendants of the Wei family's predecessors seemed to be less talented. Among his several sons, the eldest son who deposed the prince was not a scholar. Although Wei Han was also
I read military books, but I don’t have the courage to fight on the battlefield.
"The difference is that there are less than 700,000 people. There are not 800,000 people working in labor originally. If we eliminate some old, strong, sick, disabled and craftsmen with no skills, 700,000 people cannot be trained into elites." Sun Zan said.
Lin Haoming also waited for Wei Ying to call his name at that time, and stood up directly and said: "Your Majesty, things are indeed slow now, but it is indeed the right time. It is unexpected that Wei State actually occupied Suolong Pass. Based on my judgment, Xiaoxia
We will definitely send troops, and Your Majesty cannot wait to judge how the battle will turn out."
Looking at such a scene, Wei Ying felt a little emotional. There was nothing about his son who was too much like himself. He was courageous and capable. In this world of small conflicts, how could he accomplish anything if he was timid?
Guo Shuang's two sisters are both Lin Haoming's wives. It's not too much for the brother-in-law to give military power to his brother-in-law. Although what I said seems reasonable and reasonable, I haven't controlled the Forbidden Army yet, and then control a small army.
There is really no suspicion of being a self-respecting soldier. Wei Ying looked at Lin Haoming, while he was thinking about establishing a prince.
"Your Majesty asks me to send troops, and I will definitely do my best. I would like to ask your Majesty to make it clear whether I am going to fight or not." Zhu Feiling and Zhang Xin were not a perfect match. They said the same thing, but their meanings were exactly the same.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Eighth Palace is suitable." At that time, Sun Zan spoke.
That matter was not mentioned later. Now, if we want to strengthen our troops again, we will naturally need manpower. Sun Zan stepped forward at that time. He had no intention of raising troops. Wei Ying took advantage of the situation and asked: "How many people can be gathered?"
"Your Majesty, I understand military affairs." Zhang Xin said simply.
