In the early morning court, many ministers expressed their opinions on the war to destroy Wu. Most of them agreed to send troops to destroy Wu. After all, the agenda of the war to destroy Wu had been put forward a few years ago, but at that time the Huaxia Kingdom had just
With the annihilation of the Wei State and the threat from the Western Regions, Gao Fei decided to hold off for a few years.
Nowadays, the country of Huaxia is in peace and tranquility, with peace in all parts of the world. In addition, the Western Expedition has returned triumphantly not long ago, so the number of people who agree with the war to destroy Wu is gradually increasing.
At three o'clock in the morning, Gao Fei had been sitting on the dragon chair for a full hour. After listening to the words of many ministers, he said: "The battle to destroy Wu is imperative. It just so happened that we caught the secret work of the Wu State.
It can be used as an excuse to send troops to the State of Wu, and it can be used to challenge the State of Wu. It can be regarded as a famous military expedition. Chen Kongzhang."
Chen Lin, the secretary-general of the secretarial desk, immediately came out of work and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Lin, kneels down to listen to the imperial edict!"
"Immediately, we can draw up a letter of credence for this matter, ask the Wu State to raise an army, and limit the Wu State to surrender within three months, otherwise our millions of troops from the Huaxia Kingdom will march south in large numbers!" Gao Fei said.
"I obey the decree."
Tian Feng, the Prime Minister of the Senate, stood up, saluted Gao Fei, and said: "Your Majesty, all the food and grass for the Southern Expedition have been collected and transported to various military bases half a month ago, and the troops have already been assembled.
, as long as the emperor gives an order, our army can directly launch an attack on the state of Wu. As the saying goes, troops are expensive and fast, why does the emperor give the state of Wu a three-month limit?"
"This is just the emperor's tactic to delay the attack. Our army is well-known and can attack at any time. The emperor deliberately gave the other side three months. The other side will definitely think that our army will start attacking after three months, and in this way, everyone in the Wu Kingdom will know
In less than a month, rumors of this matter will spread throughout the territory of Wu State. By then, the people of Wu State will be panic-stricken and restless from top to bottom. If our army is caught by surprise, it will definitely achieve excellent results." Xun You hurriedly explained.
After everyone listened, those who were a little confused were relieved by Xun You's words, and no one said another word.
At this moment, Gao Fei said to the ministers: "Besides, I have one more thing to announce. My third son has been named Marquis of Tang Dynasty. Although he is only thirteen this year, he has been a hero since ancient times.
A young man was born, so I decided that during the southern expedition, Tang Hou will lead an army to experience it..."
The ministers, both civil and military, all showed surprise. Bing Yuan was the first to object: "Your Majesty, His Highness is dull by nature. He is already thirteen years old, but it took him six years to recite the Analects. Now he can't even recite the Book of Songs."
, if His Highness the Third Highness is allowed to lead troops on an expedition, I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
"I can't recite the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Songs. According to what the Prime Minister said, I can't be the emperor?" Gao Fei suddenly changed his expression.
"No, no, no, I never meant that. What I mean is... I mean..." Bing Yuan hurriedly explained, but in front of many ministers and Gao Fei, he could not say the word "idiot", his face
Shang also had a confused look on his face.
When Bingyuan was at a loss for words, Sima Yi, the new captain of the Privy Council, stood up. He first saluted Gao Fei, and then helped Bingyuan to rescue him. He knelt on the ground and said slowly: "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister means is that the three of you are here."
Your Highness has been dull and stupid since he was a child. If His Highness is allowed to lead troops on an expedition, I am afraid it will damage the prestige of our country."
"Bold! Sima Yi, how dare you insult His Highness the Third Highness?" Guoyuan, the Minister of Rites, pointed at Sima Yi and shouted.
Sima Yi had an expressionless face, moved his lips, and said calmly: "I just told the truth. You all know how the Third Highness is doing. You dare not say it. I will tell it for you. You
Are you still blaming me? Minister of the State, you are the Minister of Rites, and even though the Emperor didn’t say anything, you actually started roaring openly. By doing this, wouldn’t you be even more contemptuous of the Emperor?”
"You...you..." Guo Yuan's face turned pale as he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Gao Fei and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Please understand clearly."
Gao Fei said: "Everyone, get up. I won't blame anyone today. Now, I just want to ask, how many people in the hall disagree with Tang Hou's expedition? If you don't agree, please raise your hands.
, I won’t blame anyone today!”
After hearing Gao Fei's words, the ministers all raised their hands, but only one person did not raise their hands, and that was Pang Tong.
After Gao Fei read it, he sneered and said, "I understand, put your hands down."
After all the ministers put down their hands, Gao Fei said: "Sometimes, the truth is only in the hands of a few people. Pang Taiwei, why didn't you raise your hand?"
Pang Tong came out and said: "Reporting to the emperor, His Highness is extremely intelligent and possesses both civil and military skills. If His Highness leads the troops on an expedition, I feel that His Highness will definitely achieve unexpected results."
"Shi Yuan, you have to be responsible for what you say. How can His Highness be a smart person with his appearance?" Guo Jia retorted with a look of disdain.
Pang Tong smiled and did not answer Guo Jia's words. Instead, he raised his hands and said to Gao Fei: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't seem to believe me. Then you might as well invite Tang Hou to come out and meet with the ministers in public."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "This is the best. Please invite Tang Hou to the palace."
"The Emperor has given an order to announce that the Marquis of Tang Dynasty will come to the palace!" The samurai standing outside the main hall shouted loudly at the top of their lungs. Then, the voice spread out like a dragon.
Not long after, many ministers heard the sound of horse hooves, and the horses were galloping. They saw under the steps of the main hall, a well-dressed general wearing chain armor, a steel helmet, holding a spear, and riding a white horse.
The man came running quickly, and his heroic posture was very similar to Gao Lin. Therefore, the ministers in the hall couldn't help rubbing their eyes when they looked at it from a distance, and they couldn't help but secretly doubt in their hearts: "This man is Tang Dynasty."
Waiting?"
The war horse galloped to the bottom of the steps. The general dismounted, holding the long spear, and strode up to the main hall. Once he arrived at the door of the main hall, many ministers saw clearly that it was indeed Gao Pengshi, the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Gao Peng was dressed in military uniform and strode into the hall with a spear in hand. The sharp-eyed minister recognized it at a glance. The chain armor Gao Peng wore was exactly what Gao Fei wore when he was young. Even the helmet and the spear in his hand were the same.
, it turned out to be Gao Fei's usual swimming dragon gun, standing there radiantly, giving off a bit of majesty.
"My dear father, I bow to you!" Gao Peng put down his dragon spear, took off the helmet on his head, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei waved his hand and said, "Get up."
When Gao Peng stood up, he glanced at the courtiers in the hall. Seeing that the eyes of everyone except Pang Tong were full of surprise, doubt and confusion, he shouted loudly: "Is it possible that everyone doesn't recognize me anymore?"
Are they all looking at me with such strange eyes?"
Everyone present was surprised. Before, they only knew that Gao Peng was a fool, but now he spoke so clearly, and his heroic appearance also surprised them. The most surprised among them were Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Sima Yi.
et al.
"Peng'er, some people say that you are a fool and that you can't even memorize the Book of Songs. What do you think?" Gao Fei saw that everyone was stunned, so he cleared his throat and said slowly to Gao Peng.
"I was indeed quite stupid before. Foolish people are blessed with stupidity. Otherwise, my father would not have given me this set of armor and weapons. My father's gift to me will never be forgotten by me."
Gao Peng enunciates clearly, speaks fluently, and is very organized. He is completely different from the stupid Gao Peng that many ministers have seen in the past.
After Jia Xu saw that Gao Peng was very normal, he said secretly in his heart: "The Third Highness is as wise as a fool. It seems that he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than a day or two. With Pang Tong's help, maybe he will accomplish something in the future. But, I feel strange.
Yes, my intelligence department is spread all over the country and is pervasive. Why didn’t I know until today that His Highness is not a fool? Could it be..."
When he thought of this, Jia Xu suddenly froze in his heart. The corner of his eye moved to Lin Chu, who was on the left rear of his body. At the same time, he was still thinking secretly: "The person responsible for monitoring the Third Highness is his subordinate.
, but every time his subordinates
Everyone reported that the Third Highness is still the same. Is he related to the Third Highness? If it is really him, it would be really scary. The leak of secrets by members of the second party of Qilin last time was definitely not an accident. It’s just that I have always
I never thought it was him..."
Jia Xu's eyes suddenly moved to Sima Yi again, and he thought to himself: "Coincidentally, I remember that Sima Yi once bought information from Lin Chu. Although Lin Chu was just following orders at the time, there is no guarantee that he will not do it in the future.
If something else happens, this is the first time something like this has happened in the Intelligence Department. We must not let it go..."
Guo Jia and Sima Yi were the most surprised among all the courtiers. One was Gao Lin's mentor and the other was Gao Qi's mentor. The two of them actually ignored this most important person. If Gao Peng is really not a fool, but deliberately
If he can deceive the two of them by pretending to be crazy, then Gao Peng must be the most terrifying threat to them.
The fact that Gao Peng was no longer a fool made it difficult for many ministers to accept for a while. Everyone had their own secrets in their hearts, some were sad, some were happy, and some were indifferent. For a while, the hall was completely silent.
Gao Fei said: "Get up and speak. Since you are willing to be a fool, I believe you don't care what others say. However, today is different. You have to show your ability in public, at least let these ministers feel that I am worthy of you."
Your appointment will not damage the prestige of our country."
"Yes, I obey the order. Then, let me recite Sun Tzu's Art of War backwards." As soon as Gao Peng finished speaking, he began to recite Sun Tzu's Art of War, but he recited it first forward and then backwards.
This recitation was not done so tightly that all the ministers present were so shocked that their mouths closed.
