Invincible son

Chapter 422 421 [Framework]

"Your Majesty, I believe that the defeat of the Beijing Army this time, the commander-in-chief Lu Min naturally has an unshirkable responsibility, but Zhongshanzi Pei Yue is even more despicable and unforgivable!"

The loud voice of Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, echoed in the side hall.

This Mr. Liu was born as a Jinshi, and he had never been to the battlefield in his life. Because he was extremely good at handling general affairs, he was favored by Mo Haoli, and he stepped up to the high position of the six ministers step by step.His temperament is jealous like hatred, and he hates those military dignitaries who ignore the court's laws the most in his life. Naturally, he doesn't like Pei Yue, a young man who has suddenly risen to the top.

Before him, the debate on whether Pei Yue was guilty or not had been going on for a long time, but it was all courtiers with a slightly lower rank who were discussing it. After he came out of duty and spoke, everyone else shut up in unison.

No one wants to confront Liu Dabao.

Emperor Kaiping's face was gloomy, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "His heart can be punished? Where do you start with this?"

Liu Daxia replied without fear: "Your Majesty, Lu Junji's apology is very clear. He and Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin made a plan. First, use the Beijing army to hold back Zhang Qingbai's main force, and then Hucheng cavalry from the north, Gu Ping's army attacked from the south, so even if they couldn't defeat Zhang Qingbai's troops, they could at least have a tie. When the Hucheng cavalry came to help, they were suddenly stopped by Xie Lin's cavalry, causing the entire situation to collapse. .”

Emperor Kaiping said coldly: "What does this have to do with Pei Yue?"

Liu Daxia said loudly: "As Lu Junji said before, he ordered Zang Fengwei to go north to assist Marquis Ning, mainly to target Xie Lin's cavalry, but he was seized by the other party. Isn't he innocent?"

Gao Qiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, couldn't help but retort: ​​"Liu Shangshu, Xie Lin's cavalry has 5 soldiers, and the Zangfeng guards have 1 generals. Pei Yue is not a god. How can he deal with an enemy five times his own? The idea is a bit absurd!"

Liu Daxia raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Gao, no one asked Pei Yue to defeat Xie Lin's cavalry. I am not so whimsical. However, the cavalry was originally responsible for scouting on the battlefield, but he didn't even have [-] cavalry go south." You know, you can say that he is not responsible for the defeat of the Southern Front?"

Gao Qiu was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Liu Daxia was even more unreasonable, and stepped forward and said: "If Pei Yue can discover this accident earlier and notify Lu Junji in time, the Beijing Army can at least protect itself, instead of falling into a quagmire and losing 2 yuan in the end." People! Of course Lu Min is responsible for this battle, but Pei Yue can't escape the guilt, and must be severely punished!"

Gao Qiu had a headache, if Gu Fan hadn't come to the door early this morning, asking him for help in the name of Guangping Hou Guliang, and mentioned the friendship between him and Gu Liang, he would not have bothered to pay attention to this matter.

Who in the court doesn't know that old man Liu is mean?He will only conflict with this person when he is full.

"Even if Pei Yue is responsible for the unfavorable investigation, how can he be called ulterior motives? Do you think he deliberately concealed the news for the purpose of defeating the Beijing army?" Behind the case, Emperor Kaiping asked expressionlessly.

Liu Daxia hesitated for a while, and then said forcefully: "Your Majesty, I have long heard that there are many factions in the Daliang Army, one faction from the Dingguo Palace, one faction from the Wei State Palace, and another faction from the Chengguo Palace. Although there is no evidence for some things, it is hard to guarantee Some people will have the idea of ​​fighting for power and profit!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was complete silence in the hall, and most of the people were dumbfounded.

Is this old man Liu crazy today?

Emperor Kaiping's eyes suddenly darkened. The way of checks and balances is something he has tried his best to do all these years. Isn't Liu Daxia's words saying that he, the emperor, took the initiative to provoke the struggle among his subjects?
Mo Haoli, who was standing at the head of the class of civil servants, looked back at Liu Daxia, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and he said indifferently: "Liu Shangshu, what kind of place is this, how can you allow you to talk nonsense? Hurry up and back down!"

Liu Daxia looked at the benefactor who brought him to his current position with one hand, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes, but he knelt down in front of Emperor Kaiping, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister was in a hurry and said nothing, please punish him. But, your majesty, There have been many chaos in the army these years. The nobles with military honors only have titles and military positions in their eyes. They form cliques to fight for power and profit, which is a disgrace to the grace of the country. Veteran pleads for a thorough investigation of the truth of the defeat of the Beijing army, and the dismissal of Pei Yue's commander As for the post, I wonder if he, a young man who has not yet reached the crown, has the ability to command a cavalry guard? As for whether he deliberately concealed the news, the Taishitai Pavilion will find out!"

See the picture poorly.

It is a little strange that he included all martial arts in his words, and no one in the martial arts class stood up to refute his views.

Emperor Kaiping glanced at the warriors on the left, with disappointment gradually appearing in his eyes.

Just when he was about to erupt, Wang Pingzhang coughed twice, and came out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu was angry for a while because of the unfavorable war in the western region, and the old minister thought it was justifiable. The urgent task at the moment is not to plead guilty according to Lu Jun's plan." Go to the world with just a few words, and put the safety of the western region first."

Luo Ting, who had been silent all this time, said, "Your Majesty, I think Wei Guogong's words are justified."

Emperor Kaiping's eyes turned to Mo Haoli, who was aging.

The veteran of the four dynasties nodded and said: "The Beijing army retreated to the Guping camp, Hucheng is still in the hands of Daliang, and there are still several military strongholds on the southern line that have not yet fallen. The situation has not yet reached the point of corruption. It is indeed time to dispatch reinforcements If we rush to the west, we must at least not allow the cavalry from the West Wu to enter the territory of Lingzhou, otherwise they will inevitably die."

Except for Lu Min who was far away in the west, the three important ministers of the two governments had surprisingly consistent opinions, and the others had no chance to object.

Liu Daxia didn't know whether he was disappointed or relaxed. If his useless son hadn't fallen into the hands of King Lu, how could he have uncharacteristically wanted to put a young man to death?
Forget it, since these big men are willing to protect him, they don't want to be villains.

It's just that when he thought of the hateful face of Lu Wangfu's chief Shi last night, he couldn't help but want to kill that useless son himself!
Among the military ranks, Li Bingzhong, the commander of the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army, looked down at the ground, with his hands clasped in his sleeves, silently clenched into fists.

Part of the turmoil in the court these two days was caused by him. If it wasn't for the subordinates he ordered to stir up the turmoil, the spearhead might not be aimed at Pei Yue.

It's a pity that Wang Pingzhang's words ruined the overall situation.

Actually, he didn't care about the grievances and grievances between him and Pei Yue. Even if Gu Liang once stepped into Fengcheng Hou's house, he didn't want to have any more troubles. However, he received a secret letter from the western region more than half a month ago. , but made him wish he could kill Pei Yue.

His beloved eldest grandson was hacked to death by Pei Yue, and he was also framed as the leader of the horse bandits!

Seeing that this matter was about to be dismissed lightly by several big figures, Li Bingzhong took a deep breath, walked out of the train and bowed to Emperor Kaiping, crossed his hands in front of him and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."
