Emperor Changxing's eyesight was not good, but he could still see clearly at this time.
Although the Minister of Rites in front of him is very old, his face is neither humble nor arrogant.
He looked up again and looked at the group of courtiers kneeling on the ground far outside the palace. Suddenly, his head hurt and his hands felt a little itchy.
"Your Majesty, please drink some tea to moisten your mouth first."
Changlu was smart and quickly poured a cup of ginseng tea and sent it to Emperor Changxing.
To prevent him from being angry for a moment, he directly grabbed the paperweight or other objects on the dragon's eucalyptus and threw them towards Fan Wen.
Fan Wen is old and can't bear to be hit again.
The golden palace was silent, except for breathing.
hehe.
Luo Ken, Minister of Industry, broke the deadlock and stood up, stroking his beard.
"Your Majesty, I agree with what Fan Shangshu and all my colleagues have said."
"Although Xiliang has temporarily withdrawn from our border, it is well known that the Prairie King will never die in Yun Chui's desire to kill me. No one knows whether they will come back at the next moment. Therefore, support to Dingxi County must be rapid and the troops and materials must be sufficient."
Emperor Changxing looked at him deeply, first asked the courtiers who were kneeling outside the palace to stand up, and then silently uttered one word: "Accurate!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Ken saluted Emperor Changxing above, "As for recalling General Tian Hongyantian, the veteran has objections."
Buzz
The civil and military officials in the court were just showing their joy, but at this moment they couldn't help but commotion.
Although Tian Hongyan didn't fight much, whether in the south, north or west, Yan Hui's regiment had almost no achievements, but he was obedient.
In the Emperor's heart, this is more important than anything else.
Emperor Changxing knew that it was difficult to quell public sentiment and anger, but he was still reluctant to replace Tian Hongyan.
Just as the East China Sea Barrier destroyed so many battleships, Lu Fuhai is still living happily in Baekje.
"Your Majesty, among the three main forces in the west, the Fortress and the Yingling Legion have suffered heavy casualties and are short of soldiers. Even if the court replenishes them in time, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness."
"At this time, the west is almost undefended. If General Yan Hui is recalled again, the consequences will be disastrous if Xiliang invades."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Guanyi, the Minister of War next to him.
"The security of the border is related to the country's foundation, so I suggest that we proceed with caution. At least wait until His Majesty and the Ministry of War have discussed the new leading general of the Yanhui Corps, and then it will not be too late to recall Tian Hongyan... for trial."
Emperor Changxing glanced at Luo Ken appreciatively and nodded slowly.
"Luo Qing's family's words are reasonable. I wonder if any of you, dear friends, have a suitable candidate for Yanhui General?"
If there is no suitable candidate, we can only wait temporarily.
Everyone looked towards the Minister of War.
Guanyi was very happy.
The five major border defense corps in Yunchui and the local garrison troops are theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. It seems aggrieved, but in fact, so far, the only thing Guanyi can talk about is the East China Sea Barrier.
For other Xingluo, Yingling, Yanhui and Central Legions, except that their officers need to report to the Ministry of War when they are promoted, it basically has nothing to do with the city.
He stood up and was about to speak, but someone was already a step ahead.
"Your Majesty," the current Grand Master Ren Yi saluted, "I recommend a person who is extremely suitable to serve as the leading general of the Yanhui Army."
The veins on Emperor Changxing's forehead were pulsing.
Almost all civil and military officials who can stand on the Golden Palace are human beings, and they can more or less guess the thoughts of Baotian Hongyan above.
It's a pity that some people are just adamant if they don't have desires.
Take Fan Wen for example, he is old and full of benevolence and morality, and the entire Fan family has no intention of taking it any further.
Otherwise, Princess Jin would not have chased her husband with knives all over Xingji City, and they probably would not have thought that one day they would be able to be the mother of the whole world.
When Xingluo and Zhennanguan sent troops to the south, this old guy had already been beaten with a phoenix-headed staff by Princess Yiguang, but he still did not repent. Emperor Changxing was more or less mentally prepared for what would happen at this time.
However, the Taishi Mansion...
When he thought of this name, Emperor Changxing felt helpless.
Forever the emperor's master.
On the screen wall at the entrance of the Taishi Mansion is written the inscription of the founding emperor Yun Chui, which destined the whole family to be prosperous and wealthy. Unless the Taishi Mansion rebels or commits treason, there is really nothing the succeeding emperor can do against the Ren family.
In turn, the Ren family is just like Fan Wen, they dare to speak boldly whenever they want to say something.
"I wonder who the grand master is talking about?" Emperor Changxing looked pleasantly.
cough!
Guan Yi next to him coughed in warning, "Grand Master, according to the rules, the leading general of the Yanhui Legion should be a Yanhui man."
Ren Yi smiled and saluted, "What Guan Shangshu said is absolutely true. The person I recommend is Xia Bang, the current commander of Dingxi County, as Lord Xia."
coax
There was another commotion among the civil and military officials, and they all looked towards Guanyi.
Fortunately, the military attache had more or less contact with Xia Bangwei. After thinking for a while, he nodded silently.
However, Chabonwei was extremely unfamiliar to most civil servants. If this name hadn't appeared frequently in the fortress's battle reports recently, they might not have known that such a person existed.
"Guan Shangshu," Ren Yi said with a gentle smile, "Master Xia's hometown is Yanhui County in the north, isn't it?"
"Indeed." Guan Yi wanted to delay, but finally nodded and admitted.
After Emperor Changxing's reorganization of the garrison in the past few years, Yun Chui now had only ten county captains left.
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, if Guanyi cannot forget the information of even ten people and has to go back to check first, it is estimated that his position as Minister will soon be unstable.
Ren Yi nodded with satisfaction and bowed his hands to Emperor Changxing above.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xia was born in Yanhui County, and he is also an outstanding general."
"Four years ago, His Majesty restructured the local garrison. Only ten of the thirty county captains were left, and Mr. Xia is one of them. It shows that His Majesty also highly recognizes his leadership qualifications and abilities."
cough.
Emperor Changxing coughed and nodded slightly.
Ren Yi chuckled.
"Three years ago, civil unrest broke out in the four counties of Miwu, Laigu, Tianshui and Yingling, which severely severed the connection between the mainland and Dingxi County."
"Master Xia immediately judged the powerful relationship and led 30,000 Dingxi garrison troops to leave the high-walled Peishi City and stationed themselves on the desolate and inhabited East-West Post Road and Yangguan Ancient Road."
"With extreme lack of food and clothing, and no hope of support from the court, they withstood the successive attacks of the Xiliang army, blocking the enemy's attempt to enter Yingling Racecourse and the mainland. In the end, the border war was firmly locked in
The scope of Dingxi County protects the people in the mainland from the threat of war."
"The merits of this move are not small," Ren Yi turned to look at Guanyi, "Guan Shangshu, I wonder if what I said is correct or not?"
"The Grand Master's words make sense," Guanyi had no choice but to nod his head in front of everyone, "The Ministry of War is stepping up its review and statistics of Lord Xia's military exploits, and will give him appropriate awards as quickly as possible."
Ren Yi remained noncommittal and continued.
"At the end of last month, Yanjie Fortress decided to launch a major counterattack to completely expel the Xiliang people from our country."
"However, as a border guard, Yan Hui Tian Hongyan unexpectedly refused to participate in the war. Mr. Xia knew clearly that our troops were insufficient and he was afraid of a narrow escape, but he led his men without hesitation to leave the Yangguan Ancient Road and the East-West Post Road where they had been stationed for a long time."
"Due to the lack of horses, they had to travel day and night on two legs. First, they captured a strong enemy pass, and repelled Xiliang's blocking army several times along the way. Finally, they crossed half of Dingxi County and arrived outside the Stone City on time, setting the stage for the final victory.
The victorious counterattack laid the necessary foundation."
"Who dares to say that such a brave, loyal and courageous general is not worthy of being the leading general of a cowardly army like Yanhui?"
