Chang'an is good

"It's too early?" A civil servant sneered heavily: "Now that the situation is in front of us, if we don't deal with it, and put our hopes on the wild words that a little girl casually let out, I'm afraid it will be too late." It's too late!"

If all these officials, civil and military, believed in the "73 days" statement of the girl from the Chang family, it would be really absurd. I am afraid that the day of national subjugation is not far away!
"Master Qu's words are wrong, it's not a nameless little girl—" Wei Shuyi ignored the other party's ugly face, and corrected: "It's General Ningyuan."

As he said that, he slightly bowed his hands to the Holy Book Emperor above: "It is General Ning Yuan who has made many military exploits and was personally appointed by the saint."

The civil servant surnamed Qu had a dark look of disdain upon hearing the words: "Just because she had the courage to kill the enemy before, you have to blindly praise her, so do you think her every move is right? If everything can be like this To confuse right and wrong is not to distinguish between priority and priority!"

Wei Shuyi's face was indifferent: "The crisis in Luoyang is at present, and there is no way to deal with it. Instead, you adults want to use a legitimate call to crusade against the rebels, and rush to fix a general who is chasing the rebels. I'm afraid it's the real seriousness. There is no priority."

The civil official who was older than him by more than a round blushed: "Then dare to ask Wei Shilang, who is responsible for Xu Zhengye's going to Luoyang?"

Wei Shuyi looked at him, put away his indifferent expression silently, and said in a firm voice: "It is the fault of the rebels, and it is the fault of Xu Zhengye."

He also said: "If you fail to deal with it effectively, fail to formulate a good strategy to control the enemy in time, and cause Luoyang to fall, it will be the fault of Wei, Lord Qu, and all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

There was a slight silence around.

He also heard the young man say: "The situation of the battle is not yet clear, why are you adults so eager to judge her for her crimes? If General Chang and General Ning Yuan really caused Luoyang to fall and committed an irreparable mistake, there will be saints to judge the crime afterwards, then everyone will be judged." You can't cover it up. However, the current battle situation is unclear, and you all have to use a piece of paper to convict people. Isn't this move to chill the hearts of the 17 soldiers who are still fighting hard to pursue the rebels? Are you chasing after me or not?"

Qu Pingsheng's expression changed a few times.

The Cui officials behind him didn't speak for a while.

The empress saw everyone's reactions in her eyes.

There are different voices in the court, which is not a bad thing at all, but it is a pity that these voices often have other intentions, and they all have their own ulterior motives, which are far from being as simple, superficial and high-sounding as they sound on the surface.

At such a time, she needs Wei Shuyi and the others to suppress these other voices.

"What Wei Shilang said is reasonable. At this time, it is too early to determine someone's fault, and it is not conducive to morale." Emperor Shengji said at the right time: "Although General Ningyuan is young, there is still General Chang by his side. I live far away in the capital with me, so I don't know the situation in Jiangdu, maybe General Chang has another way to win according to the time."

These words are for the ministers to listen to, as for the voice of refutation and doubt, it is also expected.

Did she really have no doubts?
of course not.

After listening to those many analyses, she was not optimistic that Chang Kuo and others could successfully pursue and intercept Xu's army, and the Empress was not optimistic either.

But what she thought was more than a hundred officials.

What she said just now was a true thought - only those who lived before the war can truly understand the situation in Jiangdu.

Especially Ashan.

Ah Shang has extremely profound combat experience and a keen sense of predicting war trends.

Her daughter, she knows it well.

A Shang acted like a chess player, and there was no possibility of acting impulsively. She must have imagined in advance every possible impact of her proclamation.

So... It's normal for others not to think that Xu Zhengye would change his way to Luoyang, but it's impossible for Ah Shang to not think of it, isn't it?
Coupled with the fact that all the troops were used for defense before, Xu Zhengye was ordered to "know the difficulties and think of other ways"...

But he only defended and didn't attack, and then he allowed Xu Zhengye to gather his troops...

Afterwards, a proclamation appeared, causing Xu Zhengye to fall into a vortex of self-certification...

All these things settled down in the empress's mind, like chess pieces, gradually connecting together to form a chess game.

She could almost conclude that Ah Shang had already been planning to play chess from the moment he put down Li Yi and joined the army.

Therefore, Xu Zhengye's diversion to Luoyang seemed to be by surprise, but in fact it was the result of Ah Shang's step-by-step layout!
The queen's fingers slightly clenched the edge of the wide sleeves of the robe embroidered with gold thread and embroidered with python patterns.

Xu Zhengye has already entered the game, but is this chess game really aimed at Xu Zhengye?

Or……

A Shang wanted Xu Zhengye to take control of the Central Plains, occupy Luoyang, and confront her, the emperor?
Are you going to use Xu Zhengye...to deal with her and take revenge on her?

That is her daughter.

She doesn't want to doubt her daughter, and no one in this world wants to doubt her own flesh and blood...

But now her only flesh and blood refused to recognize her, tried every means to escape from her, and even didn't want to give her, a mother, a chance to speak.

That's right, the Ah Shang in her memory was the Ah Shang before he went to Beidi to get married...

During those three years in Beidi, Ah Shang suffered unimaginable humiliation and suffering. Such experiences...maybe enough to make Ah Shang hate her as a mother.

This thought made the Holy Book Emperor seem to fall into a cold pool.

She wanted Ah Shang to come back wholeheartedly. She had imagined many possibilities, but she missed this point alone. In other words, her understanding of Ah Shang had stayed before going to Beidi.

In the past, A Shang, in addition to the people of Dasheng and her soldiers, only her A Niang and A Xiao were in his eyes.

The Ah Shang who came back now is probably no longer the Ah Shang who used to be.

Is it a moment of anger, or will you hate her for a long time?
She has always wanted to sit down and have a talk with Ah Shang, even though she failed to do so, she fulfilled her wish to continue serving in the army, and she gave her the position of general... These are all signs of her being a mother Well, but her daughter seemed to turn a blind eye.

A mother should not be suspicious of her daughter, let alone a mother who feels guilty.

But she is more than just a mother.

The Holy Book Emperor looked at the officials in the hall.

She is still a king.

A mother can give her daughter unlimited tolerance and unreasonable trust, but the emperor cannot be reckless and emotional.

What's more, her daughter's name is Li Shang, and her original surname is Li, and she is also from the Li family.

And as a "foreign surname emperor", if she wants to stabilize this precarious country, she can't have the slightest chance of being careless.

As an emperor, she is different from other officials, she does not question the ability of the 17-year-old young general, what she questions is the "intention" of the young general.

As for her Luoyang, there can be no mistakes.

Therefore, it is impossible to entrust all hopes to Ashan who is full of variables.

On this day, the empress issued several urgent orders to Luoyang, ordering Luoyang and Bianzhou to deploy all their strength to guard against Xu's rebellious army.

Another official suggested that soldiers and horses from the states surrounding Luoyang should be dispatched for backup.

But this proposal was rejected by the Empress.

"My dear friends, do you still remember Wei Jun, governor of Chuzhou?"

The hall was silent for a moment.

At that time, the governor of Chuzhou had secretly defected to Xu Zhengye, but no one noticed it until Chang Kuo and others crossed the border of Chuzhou, Wei Jun set up a Hongmen banquet to plot...

In the Luoyang area, the power of the major noble families is deeply intertwined. The Changsun clan originated in Luoyang, and the centipede is dead but not stiff...

If the prefectures near Luoyang reappear "Wei Jun" and his like, let them rush to help Luoyang, once they cooperate with the remaining gentry forces in Luoyang, it will be equivalent to putting Luoyang's hands in front of Xu Zhengye.

With the lessons learned from the past, the increasingly suspicious empress dared not take any risks.

Soon after the early court, the Empress summoned another important minister to discuss matters in the Ganlu Hall.

The strength of Luoyang and Bianzhou alone is not enough to resist Xu's rebellious army.

She is also worried about other states near Luoyang.

Therefore, she needs to send another force to reinforce Luoyang.

"...Luoyang is different from other places. There must be no mistakes. If you want to send troops there, you must choose elite troops." Zhongshu Ling Ma Xingzhou said: "Your Majesty, there are still [-] elite troops available in Beijing."

Everyone knows what the "[-] elite" he refers to.

It was the most elite division of Dasheng, founded by His Royal Highness the former crown prince, named Xuan Ce Army.

There are now a total of 15 Xuan Ce troops under the Xuan Ce Mansion. Cui Jing rushed to the north before and took away [-], and now the remaining [-] are staying in the Xuan Ce camp in the capital.

At this moment, some officials hesitated and said: "Mr. Ling... these [-] Xuan Ce troops are tasked with guarding the capital, how can they be transferred away so easily?"

Naturally, the [-] Xuance Army is not the only ones guarding the capital, but the [-] Xuance Army has erected a solid barrier here, so that the capital can have real stability.

In normal times, there is no need to be so timid, but now there are riots everywhere...

How could Ma Xingzhou not know this, but he just sighed: "The most urgent thing is to defend Luoyang."

Some officials also sighed.

There is no two-way policy, and the pros and cons are all in front of us, so the emperor needs to make the final decision.

Emperor Shengji also fell into hesitation. She summoned officials from the Ministry of War and several military officers to come, analyzed the situation in detail, and repeatedly confirmed the situation of the capital.

In the end, she still made a decision: "Pass down my order to order [-] Xuan Ce troops to go to protect Luoyang, and order Xuan Ce's mansion to prepare for the dispatch of troops immediately!"

In any case, she can't give up on Luoyang!

If Luoyang is lost in Xu Zhengye's hands today, the king's prestige will be lost, and the king's prestige will be gone. It will only take a moment for the country to change hands!
Emperor Shengji ordered Yu Zeng to go to Xuance Mansion to pass the decree in person.

Yu Zeng responded, and immediately led people out of the Ganlu Hall.

After leaving the inner palace, Yu Zeng got on the sedan chair, followed by a group of servants, walking quickly.

Yu Zeng sat in the sedan chair, holding the sacred oracle in his hand, his long and narrow phoenix eyes drooped, covering the color inside.

Yu Zeng hurried through Shangshu Province with a group of servants, and when he passed Liubuqian Street, Taifu Chu was leading a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to come out, accompanied by forbidden soldiers with knives.

Tomorrow, the first show of Chunwei will start. They will escort the imperial examination questions to the examination court, and they will clear the road along the way, and no one will be allowed to approach.

Under the solemn and tense atmosphere, without delaying Grand Tutor Chu's dissatisfaction, he glanced at Yu Zeng and others who hurried away: "It's in a hurry, what's it like..."

"..." The other officials watched their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, not daring to speak, and even wanted to step forward and cover the Taifu's mouth.

They didn't dare to speak casually. If a word was used to make a fuss, to punish a crime of secretly leaking test questions, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

Most of the others walked, and the elderly Mrs. Chu sat in the sedan chair despite the exception, sighed comfortably, picked up the health-preserving tea prepared in the sedan chair, and took a leisurely sip.

Of course, he already knew about Xu Zhengye's diversion to Luoyang, but the old lady did not panic at all.

With his students here, what are these people worrying about?

Regarding his students, these days, according to his secret observation and analysis, he wondered, the Empress probably knew something...

Knowing about it, but being so anxious to deal with it... Is it because I can't believe it?
After a while, Mrs. Chu held the teacup and let out a disapproving sneer.

For some people, the higher they stand, the more they are afraid, but the less they can understand.

"It's strange." Mrs. Chu whispered whether it was sarcasm or a sigh: "It's sad, it's pitiful."

But the most pitiful thing was his unlucky student.

His student, when he first appeared in front of him, was like a small chess piece.

At first, that little chess piece was stupid, thinking that he had deceived the one on the dragon chair, that he was the one who lied, but he didn't know...

Thinking of this, Taifu Chu put the teacup on the small pear wood table with a "bang".

"None of them are good things."

That's why, from the very beginning, he paid special attention to that little chess piece, wanting to see what kind of stupid and unlucky little thing it was.

Later he found out, hey, this little chess piece is not stupid.

Later, the small chess pieces grew up and became big chess pieces.

Be smart this time, and don't be caught as a pawn again.

Taifu Chu whispered in his heart.

Otherwise, stop calling him his student, shame on you.

……

After Emperor Shengji made the order for Xuance's army to send troops, he began to discuss who would lead the army.

The choice of the leader is very important. No matter how good the sword is, once it is handed over to an incompetent person, it will be no different from a broken sword.

Besides...

An official said: "Xuance's army has always been unique... If the selection is not right, I'm afraid it will arouse rebellion."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly restrained himself.

Wei Shuyi frowned imperceptibly.

Is this remark implying that Xuan Ce's army is easily disobedient?

He opened his mouth and said in a timely manner: "Xuance's army has inherited the ambition of the former prince, loyal to the great prosperity of the country, and has always been strict in running the army. It is precisely because of this unique and proud morale that it is possible to meet the enemy without defeat, and the ambition to protect the territory remains unchanged. "

"If an army is full of people who are like others, once they meet a commander like Li Yi, they will become a knife in the hands of the rebels." Wei Shuyi said: "Wei dare say that if Li Yi was led by Xuance Army, it is absolutely impossible for the entire army to be deceived by it, and it is dangerous to make a big mistake."

The official hurriedly said, "That's exactly what Wei Shilang said."

Wei Shuyi smiled at him: "But Master Fang's concerns are not unreasonable. If you want to make good use of the Xuan Ce Army, you must have a general who is truly worthy of this good sword."

As he said that, facing Emperor Shengji, he bowed his hands and said, "I think that at such a critical moment, Cui Dadudu should lead the army, which is the truly foolproof choice."
