Chapter 112 My official talk doesn't count, I won't go to court
Cao Ziwen suddenly panicked when everyone's eyes with different thoughts were focused on his face.
Su Lu and Zhou Shilang were assassinated, and he was responsible for handling the assassins' bodies. Although he had no contact with the Thule people, this did not prevent him from recognizing the identities of those people.
Thule people.
Combined with the warrant issued when he was asked to deal with those assassins, Cao Ziwen's face suddenly turned pale. He had doubted it at first, but now that he didn't understand what Su Lu was referring to, he was not crazy Cao, but a fool.
"I don't know any Thule people."
Cao Ziwen responded coldly. He originally thought that after this military meeting, he would be confirmed as the military counselor of the Ministry of War, and the commander of the patrol camp would be confirmed, and he would be a serious general with real power in the capital. Unexpectedly, because of Su Lu's words, he would be raped
Even if you are clean, you will be completely blackmailed to death.
Why do I want to offend Su Lu with my bad mouth? If I didn't offend him, would I be my governor now?
Cao Ziwen regretted and wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Su Lu continued: "Shilang Zhou and I were assassinated on Zhuque Street. At that time, I thought those Tule people were here to assassinate me. After all, I was assassinated many times on the way to Beijing. The Tule people hated me to the core and assassinated me.
It’s a matter of course.”
"Later I met Governor Cao with a patrol camp and forcibly took away the bodies of the assassins. I was very curious about how the patrol camp came by such a coincidence. If I hadn't come here earlier, I wouldn't have been able to play. After I killed the thieves, you patrol camp
It just happened, Mr. Cao, what a coincidence, is your patrol battalion colluding with the Thule Assassins?"
All eyes in the office suddenly focused on Cao Ziwen. Even Zhao Pu, who was wandering aside, and Li Lin, who was trembling with fear, all looked at Cao Ziwen.
Cao Ziwen's face flushed and he started to slap the case: "You are talking nonsense, how could we collude with the Thule Assassins?"
Su Lu smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Then tell me, why did you take away those Tule people's corpses? I have fought with the Tule people for a long time, and I know that the Tule people have a habit of taking away the bodies of their relatives as much as possible.
Go back and be buried on the grassland or ascend to the heaven of immortality."
"Master Cao, are these Thule bodies taken away by the Thule people?"
Cao Ziwen was even more panicked. The bodies of those Thule assassins were really taken away by the Thule people, saying that they were going to ascend to the Immortal Heaven. Su Lu, the grandson, knew so much.
But fortunately, my lord was wise enough to make preparations in advance and leave a few corpses behind.
"Master Su really wonders how those corpses could be taken away by the Thule people. The corpses are in the warehouse of my patrol camp. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."
Su Lu shook his head: "Cao Ziwen, do you still remember that I took off the mask and clothes of a corpse before you took it away?"
Cao Ziwen's heart skipped a beat. It's over. Could it be that Su Lu left a code? Damn it, how could this happen? Did he think of it now?
Cao Ziwen's performance caught everyone's attention and confirmed Su Lu's statement that he, Cao Ziwen, had colluded with the Tule people.
Su Lu asked Pound, who was sitting upright: "Grand Governor, how should we deal with this man?"
Pound slapped the table, and there was a crack, and a gap was made on the side of the table. Old Pound was furious: "What to do with it? Cut it up for me. If your grandson who cheated on you dares to hook up with the Thule people, I will cut him into pieces."
Cao Ziwen suddenly fell to the ground, filled with regret, and asked Su Lu tremblingly: "Su Lu, I..."
Li Shangshu glanced at the Imperial Guards on duty at the door. With a wave of his hand, several Imperial Guards rushed in from outside, dragged Cao Ziwen away and walked out.
In the office, all the generals and officers looked at Su Lu in a different way. What did Cao Ziwen mean just now? Could it be that he scolded Su Lu and was accused by Su Lu of being a traitor to Tule.
Li Shangshu cleared his throat: "Everyone, whether Cao Ziwen has colluded with Thule or not is not our concern. What we want to discuss now is the court's northward strategy."
The white-headed old man slapped the table directly: "What kind of discussion is there? Su Lu is right. Both strategies are unreliable, and the discussion is in vain."
All the generals looked at Li Qing. The only one who could suppress the old man here was Li Qing's status as a princess.
Although Li Qing was helpless, he still spoke: "Although what the old Marquis said is reasonable, when the Beiyang camp has a strategic plan, the Ministry of War will always make a decision, and it still needs to be discussed."
The old man didn't say anything after hearing this, sat down angrily and ignored anyone.
Li Shangshu was afraid that something would happen again, so he said directly: "I agree with the forward strategy. As long as the front can be pushed to Diaoyin, the Thule people will naturally no longer be able to penetrate into the Xuanfu. Without external assistance, the bandits and bandits in the territory will
Hiding the Thule people was just a case of scabies.”
Zhou Shilang and Li Gan seconded the proposal, and all the chiefs of the Ministry of War also agreed.
The generals of the Forbidden Army looked at Grand Governor Pound. Pound sighed and said, "Second the proposal."
Li Shangshu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as Pound nodded, the result would be considered.
Zhou Shilang, who presided over the military meeting, continued: "Since everyone agrees with General Lin Tong's strategy, then we will seal General Xiao Cong's strategy and submit the northward strategy to the three upper provinces."
"The following is a military discussion about the envoys of the Tang State who joined the Tang Dynasty to attack the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty asked the three provinces for us to come up with a detailed strategy. What do you think of this?"
For a while, the office became chaotic again, discussing the benefits Tang Neng offered and the price to pay for attacking Qin.
Su Lu sat down in his seat and glanced at Li Qing strangely. She was also a third-grade general. The military meeting of the Ministry of War required Pang De, a third-grade general, to nod, but she would not ask Li Qing's opinion at all. She
A third-grade general is also a decoration.
Looking back, Su Lu remembered another thing. No one asked him for his opinion just now!
His colleagues in the Forbidden Army didn't even bother to talk to him. Looking at the mighty general Guo Zhun, this grandson looked at him like a tiger and wished he could stay away from him.
He didn't listen to my opinion and still asked me to do it. Su Lu suddenly lost interest and felt dizzy. He simply closed his eyes and fell asleep. Anyway, if he didn't speak, it would be of no use.
…
Su Lu was woken up by Li Qing.
When I opened my eyes, I saw several lanterns already hung up in the office room.
Most of the generals at the military meeting had left. Only Li Shangshu in front was talking in a low voice to Zhou Shilang, and the old marquis pushed his chair away sleepily and walked out.
Li Qing blamed Su Lu and said, "Why didn't you say anything just now? It's not even right for Tang to attack Qin. You just said casually and you can't let this military agreement pass."
Su Lu stood up sleepily, and said dissatisfiedly: "What I said is useless, but no one listened to me. The same goes for you. No one asked for your opinion during the vote."
Li Qing's face darkened and he sighed. What Su Lu said struck her right. Indeed, she could not participate in the voting at all, and the important ministers and generals would not take her proposal seriously.
The old marquis staggered over, and Li Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to give him a hand. The old man stood up straight and said with a smile: "The stool in the Ministry of War is too hard. I won't come next time, and it will be too uncomfortable to sleep on."
People."
It was an eye-opener for Su Lu. The old Marquis was still stubborn.
Li Qing supported the old marquis: "Why don't you come? Not to mention the Ministry of War, I will invite you to come to my father's court meeting tomorrow. Both the three provinces and my father value your opinion."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, don't call me, my job is low, my words don't count, I won't go to the court for discussion."
Li Qing bid farewell to the old Marquis in a state of laughter and tears. The two of them rode towards the princess mansion. Li Qing asked Su Lu.
"Tomorrow's Tingyi, you can go too. My father values you very much. Yesterday, you even asked me what you think of the next Beiyang camp's strategy for Thule."
Su Lu looked at the back of the old Marquis in front of him and waved his hands repeatedly: "My official novel doesn't count. I won't go to the court for discussion."
