In the quiet court, everyone looked at the high-ranking emperor, and no one spoke. Although most people actually knew about this matter last night, no one stood up first.
Seeing this cold and silent, Wei Qian directly called out and asked, "Left Prime Minister, you are the leader of civil officials. In the current situation, Daxia has retreated one after another, and the princes bordering Daxia, only our family has not moved. What do you think about this?"
Zhang Xin was already over 60 years old and his hair was white, but he was still in good spirits. When he heard Wei Qian's inquiry, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think I can't be too hasty at this time. I will wait and see first. Wei State took the Dragon Pass. It was a coincidence, and it was also some evil consequences caused by Daxia's transfer of southern border troops. In fact, several defense lines have been built in the north of Daxia. The Three Barbarians and Zhao State can no longer gain an advantage. There were even tens of thousands of defeats last year, so I wait and see first, wait and wait and wait for the situation to change, plan before moving."
As soon as Zhang Xin finished his steady remarks, Wei Nao had already come out and said, "Father, my son thinks that this matter must not be delayed. The world has changed a lot now. Our Yue Kingdom was the first to show loyalty to us back then. That was because the Yue Kingdom had fought fiercely for years and the land that the annexed needs to be digested. Now the weather is good in recent years, the Chu Kingdom in the south can only protect itself and have no worries. If Zanglong Mountain is not out at this moment, when will we wait? Should we wait for other countries to erode Daxia and prepare to fight for dominance of the world again? How can our Great Yue Kingdom face the countries with stronger territory expansion?"
The statements on both sides are indeed in line with the personalities of the two princes on both sides. One is calm and the other is quite radical but is also good at seizing the opportunity.
Next, the court officials representing both sides also stood up one after another to express their opinions. The court has become a battlefield, and they have made some gestures.
Wei Qian just listened and didn't interrupt until all the two sides could stand out, then he looked at Wei Yan standing below and asked, "Ye'er, what do you think about this?"
Although Wei Yin also stood in the court, he rarely spoke. Now Wei Qian took the initiative to ask, and he could only stand up and said, "Father, the child's ideas are consistent with the left, wait and see, think twice before moving, but he can also prepare first. If there is any change, we will not be caught off guard."
As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Wei Nao took the initiative to stand up and said, "Father, in a great battle, you need to be decisive, sharp, hesitate, and miss the opportunity."
The two brothers can be said to be tit-for-tat, and Wei Nao showed his sharpness.
Wei Qian looked at these two sons, and at this moment he looked at Wei Yan, and he felt a little eager for Wei Yan to stand up again, but this son was too silent and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Wei Qian closed his eyes at this time, looked at others for a long time, and finally stared at Sun Zan and asked, "Right Prime Minister, what do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand military affairs." Sun Zan was very straightforward.
Seeing him talking like this, Wei Qian felt helpless and asked Zhu Feiling: "Master Zhu, in terms of military affairs, you are the leader in the court. What do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty wants me to send troops, so I will definitely do my best, but wherever I attack, please let Your Majesty know." Zhu Feiling and Sun Zan are perfect matches, with different words but exactly the same meaning.
Wei Qian couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and finally swept his eyes to Lin Haoming.
Lin Haoming did not wait for Wei Qian to name the name at this time, and stood up directly and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is indeed in a hurry at the moment, but it is indeed the time. It is indeed unexpected that Wei State actually occupied the Lock Dragon Pass. Based on my judgment, Daxia will definitely send troops. Your Majesty can wait for the battle situation to be judged before the time comes."
Lin Haoming's speech immediately, Wei Ying, the Minister of Justice, who is now over 40 years old, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the weather has been good in recent years, and the Chu and Wu have become increasingly stable. In the past few years, many people have been arrested for labor service because of the two places fighting. I think they can be reorganized into an army, and some of them are soldiers of Wu and Chu. If you use troops to the south, there will naturally be problems, but if you give meritorious rewards to other places, you will definitely become a strong army."
This matter was mentioned before. Now that we want to prepare for the troops again, we naturally need people to stand up at this time. Wei Ying stood up and said, "How many people can we get together?"
"There can be almost 200,000. There were more than 300,000 people engaged in labor service, and some craftsmen with the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and some craftsmen with some skills can be trained to become elites." Wei Ying said.
"Father, my Wei family has always been a horse man. My father personally captured the current capital for the army, and the child is willing to lead this new army." Wei Nao suddenly stood up again at this time.
Wei Nao's performance at this time really made Wei Qian happy. Since the Wei family seized this country, the descendants of the Wei family seemed a little weak. Not to mention that his own sons, the eldest son of the prince, was a scholar. Although Wei Yan also read military books, he did not have the courage to fight on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate for the Third Highness to lead this army." At this moment, Zhang Xin actually stood up and agreed.
Wei Qian was a little surprised to see that he actually agreed to this matter, but soon he realized that if Wei Nao led this army, what about the imperial guards? Now Lin Haoming returned to the capital. Because Wang Jiangman was ill in the past two years, he temporarily led the imperial guards, but Lin Haoming would never lead the imperial guards for a long time, because the imperial guards would definitely let the prince serve as the prince. This is a convention. Wang Jiangman also took over because the prince was abolished and took over temporarily. Therefore, once the prince was enthroned, the imperial guards would also be the prince to serve as the prince. At that time, the imperial guards would not be given to him, and the new army would not be well trained for one or two years.
"Thank you, the left prime minister." Wei Nao didn't care at all, but instead said grateful, as if he didn't consider the matter of the imperial guards at all.
Seeing this scene, Wei Qian also felt a little moved. Some parts of this son look too much like him and moves forward bravely. In the current world of great struggle, how can he accomplish things if he is timid?
Wei Qian looked at Lin Haoming, thinking about the matter of becoming a crown prince in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I think the Third Highness is not suitable." Wei Ying spoke at this time.
"Why?" Wei Qian asked.
"Many of these people are soldiers of Chu, and there are more than half of them in total. If there is enough time, it will be no problem to hand it over to the third prince to train slowly. However, the situation of the war is changing rapidly. If this force is allowed to form combat power in a short time, it is not led by the Taiwei himself. I believe that everyone should know the reason, because not only are they surrendered by the Taiwei, but also the Taiwei is also the son-in-law of the Chu State. I believe that as long as they do not use troops to the Chu State, they will have no problem with their loyalty." Wei Ying said.
