Chapter 38 Doubt
In addition to being divided into multiple parties, the court was divided into several parties.

The civil servants and military ministers also had the biggest opinions, and they would always quarrel when something happened.

This moment is playing out again now.

Zhong Shu, who was already in his sixtieth year, glanced at Cao Yucheng and said: "Reckless man, use your brain power in advance instead of brute force at the first opportunity. You usually lead troops to learn more about the art of war. Otherwise, it will always be like this and you will easily suffer big losses." ."

From Zhang Mengguan to Taiwei, he was a general. No matter how reckless Cao Yucheng was, he was the one who single-handedly picked him up. Hearing what Zhong Shu said, he disagreed.

He slowly said: "The right minister's words are wrong. The emperor was too kind to the Tong family before, which caused them to be so arrogant. If you don't show these people a little color, you really think you are a god. Then the girl of the Tong family Arrogant and domineering, didn't you call your granddaughter ugly in the street before?"

Zhong Shu snorted coldly, stroked his beard and said no more.

Left Prime Minister Cui Ji listened to what they said, but did not open his mouth to express his opinion. He glanced at the face of the emperor sitting in front of the desk with a calm expression, and looked at Dudu Pei beside him, also with a calm expression.

The two most dominant have not spoken yet.

There was silence in the royal study.

Zhong Shu looked at the emperor with cloudy eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

Yu Wende said slowly: "Now Beijing Zhongzhen can only mobilize [-] troops. To go to the nearest camp to mobilize troops, it will take at least five days to mobilize [-] soldiers for reinforcements. The troops mobilized by Tong's Zhangjing will take three days." But can arrive.

We can only defeat the [-] soldiers in Zhangjing with [-] soldiers from Beijing. "

His voice was cold and full of murderous intent.

Zhong Shu said worriedly: "There are still 20 soldiers from Tong's family in the frontier. If they transfer these 20 soldiers back to the capital, then no one can resist the Hu people. people."

Zhang Meng is tall, well-built, in his fifties, and has a fine look on his face. "Does Mr. Zhong mean to tolerate the Tong family's forced marriage?"

"The old minister didn't say that." Zhong Shu glared at Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng, a military commander, is not an ordinary person. He didn't dare to underestimate him. He continued, "I'm just expressing my humble opinion."

Zhang Meng responded: "It's really my humble opinion."

At the age of 60, Zhongshu decided not to care about him, otherwise he would go down early to accompany the late emperor if there was something wrong with his body.

Yu Wende looked at Pei Huaian, as if asking for his opinion.

Feeling his gaze, Pei Huai'an turned around, stood up and walked into the hall, nodded his head and said, "Master Zhang Meng and General Cao Yucheng have both been on the battlefield. The resolution just mentioned is good. Your Majesty can think about it. I'm afraid there is no way for me to lead troops to fight." They're great."

His cold voice lingered in the hall.

The eyes of the few people who were discussing just now focused on him.

Does Governor Pei mean that he doesn't want to take care of this matter and leaves the use of force to Zhang Meng and Cao Yucheng?

A glint flashed in Yu Wende's eyes, Yun Chu, do you not want to serve me?He pretended to be surprised and looked at Pei Huaian and said: "You have been learning the art of vertical and horizontal since you were young. Yaozhou and his party even killed more than 8000 rebels in Yaozhou with the loss of hundreds of soldiers. With you in this Chang'an City, it is also My peace of mind pill."

He couldn't tolerate Pei Huaian's rejection.

If the Tong family rebelled this time, with him around, the matter would be entirely on the court's side.

Pei Huai'an seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, it was obtained by taking advantage of Yaozhou's terrain to win a narrow victory. My minister was in danger during his trip to Yaozhou, and his life was at stake. Besides, that big victory was mainly due to The eighth-rank official party who accompanied me offered advice, and I told His Majesty about this, and he was promoted to a sixth-rank official for this."

Everyone knows this.

But at that time, everyone thought that the governor had too much power and could not be promoted.

It is true that the shirk is put on Dang Xiang.

The people present are all good people, and they have worked hard to climb up step by step in the imperial court, so they have the opportunity to be here today.

The emperor sitting high in the hall, and the most powerful minister in the court.

Is this a gap?
How could the emperor not see what all the officials could see.

Yu Wende frowned slightly, with a grim look on his face. Not long ago, Pei Huaian tried his best to ensure that he could win Tong Xiangming. Why is he so out of words now?
Could it be that the conversation between him and Cai Shao was leaked that day, and Pei Huaian knew that he wanted to remove his power?

The emperor looked at Cai Shao casually.

Cai Shao trembled, wishing he could kneel down immediately to express his determination, he didn't tell Lord Pei anything, it was none of his business.

There were other people in the palace, so he definitely couldn't make this move. He just wanted to end the conversation quickly so that he could show his loyalty to the emperor.

In fact, Pei Huai'an did know about the conversation between the emperor and Cai Shao that night.

It's just that it was not reported by Cai Shao, but by another informant who accidentally learned about it.

Yu Wende didn't know about this matter, he thought it was a misunderstanding with Huai'an, so he could only follow his words and talk about it privately.

He ordered:
"Since that's the case, Zhang Meng, you should immediately send someone to notify the reinforcements to deal with Tong's soldiers and horses. The [-]-battalion imperial guards are strictly guarding the capital. Without my order, any soldier under Tong Xiangming's command entering Chang'an City will be killed on the spot."

Zhang Meng bowed his hand and said yes.

The emperor then ordered: "Cao Yucheng, go and surround the Tong Mansion and take them as hostages. Not a single mosquito can fly out of the Tong Mansion. Once the soldiers meet, they will immediately kill all the members of the Tong family. I then ordered them to be executed." Nine tribes.”

Cao Yucheng bowed his hands and said, "Obey."

Yu Wende looked at Pei Huaian. When the ministers were thinking about what big things they should arrange for the governor, what the emperor said shocked everyone.

"Huai'an has been mentally and mentally exhausted recently. Let's temporarily hand over the East Factory and the West Factory to be managed by Cai Shao, the chief eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs. Huai'an will first be assigned to the Right Minister's subordinates to listen to his arrangements."

Is this relinquishing the power of Governor Pei?

It's that simple?
The important ministers in the palace looked dignified.

Especially Zhong Shu, even though he was a veteran of the court and the right minister, the emperor's buttocks still trembled when he heard the news. It was for no other reason than that one time, Pei Huaian chopped off his thigh in front of him. The head of a criminal rolled to his feet.

After that time, Zhong Shu was so frightened that he had trouble going to court. It took him half a month to recover.

This time the emperor put Pei Huaian in his charge.

The right prime minister trembled, swayed from side to side, seemed to be unable to stand, and was about to fall. Pei Huaian stepped forward to help him, and said in a cold voice: "Your right prime minister, please take care, we will work together in the future. .”

It's okay if I don't say it, but when I say it, the right minister leans forward and almost faints.

Seeing this, everyone quickly helped him to sit down and called the imperial doctor over. The scene was very exaggerated.

The most exaggerated one is Cai Shao. When the emperor said that the East Factory and the West Factory were handed over to him for temporary management, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. Before he could speak, the Right Prime Minister fell down...
