Su Tingye was an upright man and an honest official, but he was speechless when asked. Even if someone was causing trouble in the dark, it is a fact that Jiacheng was completely destroyed because of Xiao Mohan's carelessness.
Ji Mengping lowered his eyes with a cold gaze, like a poisonous snake quietly spitting out a message, which made people shudder.
"What's wrong with Marshal Xiao? We once went on an expedition with him. He was full of righteousness and treated all soldiers equally. How could we have expected that he would be so slandered even though his bones are still cold? If it weren't for Marshal Xiao, how could he be in this prosperous age!"
"General Li is right. Your Majesty, I will never agree with what Taishi says!"
No matter how the dynasties changed, in the eyes of civil servants, military commanders were vulgar and ungentlemanly.
The opposite is also true. Military generals feel that civil servants can only write and write, cannot carry on their shoulders, cannot lift with their hands, and can only talk about military affairs on paper.
Pingyang Wang Shang Yuyang looked lazy. He was nearly fifty years old, and as time went by, traces of vicissitudes had appeared on his face. His hands were interspersed in the wide sleeves of his robe, he took a few steps forward, and bowed to Shang Yu frame.
He bowed and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, if you put all the blame on Marshal Xiao, it will definitely chill the hearts of the courtiers and the people. Wen Taishi doesn't have to be so rigid and mean. Since we have different opinions, it's better to avoid the posthumous title and first make a list to find a famous doctor to cure Xiao Chuhong.
legs."
The military general in the court was naturally dissatisfied with this result, and was about to speak again when Su Tingye took the lead and said, "I agree with what King Pingyang said."
The most important thing now is to cure Xiao Chuhong and save his life. Military generals don't know how to beat around the bush. If they say more, they will be misinterpreted and thought to be pushing the envelope. Xiao Mohan could have been famous forever, but he will be forced to do so by then.
Breaking them into sinners for the ages is counterproductive.
What's more, what's the use of asking for those titles when the person is gone?
Xiao Mohan never cared about things outside his body. He only cared about his wife and children, and the people of Li whom he protected with his life.
"If that's the case, then it's just like the emperor's uncle said. The manager of the house sent someone to post the imperial list and find a famous doctor to treat Xiao Chuhong's injuries. In addition, Xiao Chuhong had made countless contributions on the battlefield, and he was named a third-grade general and given the title
'Jinghong' will give the general a residence and retain the Xiao family's army."
"Your Majesty! Xiao Mohan once said that he would hand over military power. If the Xiao Family Army is retained..."
Before Ji Mengping finished speaking, he saw that Shang Yujie had raised his hand to stop him from saying more, "Emperor Shi Yuan once said that the Xiao family army only belongs to the Xiao family. Xiao Aiqing is so loyal and patriotic, how cruel can I be?
Do you want to wipe out his hard work after his death?"
Su Tingye raised his court clothes and kowtowed, "I take the place of Marshal Xiao and Chu Hong to express my gratitude to the Holy Grace and Your Majesty for your wisdom."
"Su Aiqing, please get up. I heard that you have been working very hard for the Xiao family these past few days. I specifically allow you, Aiqing, to have a rest tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shang Yujie nodded, "If there is nothing else, just retreat from the court."
No one said anything for a long while, then Fang Gonggong shouted, "Quit the court!"
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
After Shang Yuzhen left, the ministers began to talk about it. Some were lamenting Xiao Mohan's regretful death, while others were filled with indignation. Some even felt that what Taishi said was reasonable and that Xiao Mohan was also responsible for what happened in Jiacheng.
Su Tingye stood outside the Jinluan Palace, looking at the clear sky after the rain, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Mo Han, everyone in the court can't hold back their hearts now. The only thing I can do is to protect Chu Hong for you and prevent him from being harmed by traitors. His great achievements will shock the Lord. If he is too popular,
Sheng, I'm afraid that he will be completely killed before his wings are full.'
