"Old gangster Bai, are you making a fuss out of a molehill?"
Xiao Yan was angry in his heart. He stood up with a cold snort and made a high-spirited attitude. He was puzzled in his heart, ***, I also compensated and apologized. I also knelt down in a low profile before the emperor and let you plagiarize the talents.
As a reward, I asked you to pretend to be good people, what else do you want?
Damn it, tell Yangyang Dayan an explanation, old gangster Bai, can you please stop fooling around? This kind of fight between soldiers and ruffians has happened many times since ancient times, and it has never been dealt with so harshly. Why did it get to Jiumen?
Do you have to give Dayan an explanation regarding the city guard matter?
Damn it, you are trying to trick me to death.
"What? Xiao Tuzi, haven't you realized the seriousness of the situation?"
Bai Mochou said: "Jiumen City Guards has a fine tradition, and its reputation for prowess has spread far and wide. The imperial court has commended the Nine Gates City Guards again and again, and out of concern for the Nine Gates City Guards and for Xiao
The prime minister is confident in governing the military and government, and allows the nine gates to be left alone
The city guards are independent of the Privy Council. They are only supervised by the cabinet. To put it bluntly, they are supervised by you, Xiao Yan. The reason why the emperor, the Privy Council, and the ministers accept such a military system is actually because of their opposition to each other.
Prime Minister Xiao’s trust.”
"However, nowadays, the Jiumen City Guards are in chaos and causing trouble continuously, causing trouble all over the city. From the dignitaries to the common people, they all have deep grudges against the Jiumen City Guards. They have even been promoted to the imperial court as raising soldiers, but in fact they are not.
The extreme level of raising bandits is such that now, everyone from the emperor to the Privy Council and many ministers are notorious because of the chaos of the Nine Gates City Guards, and the people are increasingly distrustful of the imperial court."
Bai Mochou spoke more and more vigorously, spitting like crazy, and said impassionedly: "For example, the people will resent the Ministry of Rites for not enacting laws strictly, and the Ministry of Punishments for not enforcing the laws resolutely, and even question the Privy Council why they condone Jiumen City.
The guards escaped from control. ***, in this case, the guards of Jiumen City are actually the cancer that shakes the Yan country, but the imperial court takes the blame. Xiao Tuzi, how can you get away with just a few words?"
Bai Mochou's eloquence is top-notch, and these words were discussed with Shi Yue and Yan Jing for a long time. There are many secret changes in concepts, but they cannot be discovered for a while, and even if they are discovered, it is difficult to refute.
These words were said sonorously and forcefully, with great momentum and full control. Even the neutral ministers who listened to them felt deeply convinced.
The ministers will naturally think: You, Xiao Yan, want to control the army alone, that's fine, but you have to run the army rigorously. Now when a big trouble occurs, the people blame the Yan court for it. This is not to kick others.
Being blamed? Naturally, they are unwilling to do so.
Xiao Yan was pressed down by Bai Mochou's big hat, just like Mount Tai weighing him down, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
Since ancient times, scholars have had eyes and tongues, and they can kill people without seeing blood. The old gangster Bai explained the true meaning.
"I completely disagree with what Bai Yushi said."
Xiao Yan immediately became angry. He faced Bai Mochou and said forcefully: "This is just a one-sided statement of yours. Moreover, soldiers are vulgar. They read less poetry and books, so they are inevitably irritable. Fights and disturbances happen from time to time. Why should you be so surprised?"
"To put it lightly."
Shi Yue took the words and said: "Prime Minister Xiao said that the soldiers are vulgar and illiterate. There is nothing wrong with that. However, being illiterate is definitely different from being unreasonable. If Prime Minister Xiao is not convinced, you can consider it. We are in black.
Have the black-clad guards under Deputy Envoy Tian and the soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division ever done such an immoral thing? Is it possible that the soldiers under our command are all well-educated in poetry and literature, and are well-versed in both civil and military skills?
?”
As soon as he said this, the officials burst into laughter. His words became even more cunning. Xiao Yan was so angry that he could not refute.
Shi Yue added: "So, this chaos has nothing to do with whether the soldiers are vulgar or not. Prime Minister Xiao should not prevaricate or shirk responsibility. Instead, he should actively calm the situation, find out the root cause of the incident, and give it to the people and the court.
An explanation is not to treat the head for a headache or the foot for a sore foot. You have read poetry and books and are rich in knowledge. Can't you even see this?"
The fox's tail is finally coming out.
Xiao Yan is also a good person, and he also knows that Shi Yue and Bai Mochou are going to take the opportunity to attack and ask for a lot of money. Moreover, he knows that he cannot escape this hurdle after all, so he is no longer afraid. He sneers and asks: "Then according to Deputy Shi,
What do you think is the source of confusion?"
"Haha, isn't this simple? I am a warrior and I have always been outspoken. If what I say offends Prime Minister Xiao, I ask Prime Minister Xiao not to take it to heart, let alone deliberately retaliate against me. As for me, I only serve the court.
Shi Yue pretended to be vaccinated first, and then said: "Looking at the troops of the Black Guards, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Nine Gates City Guards, they all come from poor families, are not literate, and do not know etiquette, but why do they give people such an impression?
The contrast is so huge. In my opinion, it is because the commanders have different concepts of running the army that the Nine Gates City Guards have transformed from the sweethearts of heaven into a land of soldiers and bandits."
"You're talking nonsense."
Xiao Yan felt angry when he heard Shi Yue so blatantly put a shit basin on his and Cheng Ye's heads, and said angrily: "You are a villain, you are deliberately smearing me! Your Majesty, Shi Yue has a heart that can be punished.
Never believe it."
"Is Prime Minister Xiao angry because of embarrassment?"
Shi Yue snorted coldly: "I made it clear just now that I am dedicated to serving the imperial court and will not underestimate Prime Minister Xiao's face. Moreover, what I said is meaningful and reasonable. I am definitely not talking nonsense. I believe that any leader who leads an army will be a general."
You all understand it, right? General Lei, Deputy Envoy Tian, do you agree with what I just said?"
Lei Dong naturally responded to Shi Yue, "Deputy Commander Shi's words are absolutely correct. They can be regarded as mottos for running the army. Even the last generals should understand them deeply."
Tian Fen and Xiao Yan are having a stalemate, and now is the best time to beat up the drowned dog. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
He sneered and said to Xiao Yan: "Although Prime Minister Xiao is very talented and good at governing, no one is perfect, how can he cover everything? In my opinion, running an army is different from managing politics. The strategy of running an army lies entirely in
General, you cannot shirk your responsibility."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan and Cheng Ye were immediately determined, and the next step was to beat the dogs hard.
"If the general has strict discipline and is relaxed, the soldiers will abide by etiquette and restrain their fangs, which will benefit one party. If the general does not understand military affairs, indulges his subordinates, is arrogant and extravagant, then the military discipline will be chaotic, and if the military discipline is chaotic, it will cause trouble.
The reason why Jiumen City Guards is in trouble today is because Prime Minister Xiao and Admiral Cheng are not good at running the army, so Prime Minister Xiao and Admiral Cheng should bear full responsibility."
Xiao Yan's face was purple and blue, his expression was uncertain, he glared at Tian Fen, and said coldly: "Wu Ya fell on a pig, because the pig is black! Tian Fen, are you qualified to scold me?"
