Chapter 155: A fool is easier to use than a wise man
The flames of war reached Daxing City, and the emperor was furious and all the officials were shocked.
Hanyuan Hall is located on a one-foot-high platform, which is more than four feet above the ground. Looking from a distance, it is tall and majestic and breathtaking. There are three dragon-tailed roads in front of the hall, which are the stairs leading directly to the main hall. At this time, inside the main hall, Emperor Hongdao had the dragon chair but was not sitting on it. He was looking at the civil and military ministers who were whispering among each other in the palace with a straight face...
Looking at the chaotic civil and military officials, Emperor Hongdao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and reprimanded loudly: "Have you made enough noise? If you have made enough noise, please shut up! Everyone is full of wits and chests. It looks like a ravine, but when you see the smoke, you become an ant on a hot pot!"
After Emperor Hongdao rebuked him, the Hanyuan Hall became quiet. Pei Yanting, the head of the six departments, stood up and bowed to Emperor Hongdao: "Your Majesty, calm down! It's not just a day or two since Tie Moleh looked at Daqian. I thought that The opponent must be fully prepared! If I want to win, I should ask the military god to lead the troops to destroy the enemy!"
As soon as Pei Yanting finished speaking, Lu Zhaoxing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you must never do it! The God of War is the mainstay of our Daqian, how can we easily lead troops into battle! If there is a mistake, Daqian will be in danger! So I thought , it would be safer to let the King of Qi lead the troops into battle, even if the King of Qi is defeated, it will not shake the foundation of Dagan."
The civil officials were unwilling to listen to Lu Zhaoxing's words, and the military attachés were even less happy. A general on the right side of Emperor Hongdao stood up and snorted: "Nonsense! The military god has never been defeated in his military life. Lu Zhaoxing, you'd better go through it before speaking." Get over your head!"
Another general stood up and said: "If you don't understand martial arts, how can you have the confidence to talk nonsense!"
This military attache was just like that, they all had loud voices and no manners when speaking. This opening stirred up a hornet's nest. For a while, the civil service group no longer fought among themselves, but unanimously pointed the finger at the outside world, attacking those vulgar people. Violent attack.
Hanyuan Hall was splashing with saliva, and the sound of yelling and cursing was endless, which was very similar to the scolding fights between the shrews of the East and West cities...
Emperor Hongdao looked at Pei Yanting, who was silent, with a cold face, and felt angry in his heart: "Half of these civil servants are your disciples, you can't just ignore them! All the officials are in this position. The door is about to come, and you still have the desire to fight among yourself! Is this my minister of the humerus?"
Pei Yanting knew that Emperor Hongdao was looking at him, but the old guy's head drooped, as if he was deaf and blind, and he just stood there pretending to be dumbfounded. See what that meant, even if these civil and military ministers in Hanyuan Palace had the brains of a dog, He wouldn't say the last sentence either.
Over the years, Pei Yanting has always felt that the Great Qian Dynasty would reach this point because these warriors were self-respecting and regarded the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty as child's play. Therefore, he has been looking for opportunities to weaken the power of the military generals group. Even if the country is facing a national crisis, he will fight with those warriors. A group of vulgar warriors compete with each other.
Pei Yanting pretended to be stupid, Lu Zhaoxing remained silent, and several other ministers also seemed to have practiced silent meditation. These civil servants were even more crazy. Some of them were already yelling at the generals who were rolling up their arms and sleeves...
The more Emperor Hongdao looked at it, the angrier he became. He picked up the glass bottle next to him and smashed it into the hall. The light blue glass bottle was instantly shattered into pieces. At the same time, Emperor Hongdao roared: "Where is Feng Tianyang?"
Feng Tianyang was standing guard outside the Hanyuan Hall with his helmet and armor on, enduring the scorching sun above his head. The armor weighed dozens of kilograms, and it was cool in winter and hot in summer. In addition to watching Wei Feng and Feng Tianyang, It's useless for an eighth-grade warrior to talk about it.
Today's court meeting was much longer than in the past, and it was also more lively than in the past. Feng Tianyang knew that those guys were having a war of words about Tie Molle going south, and I'm afraid there would be no results for a while. Feng Tianyangzheng
While he was thinking about it, he heard the Holy Sage's stern voice to replace him, and couldn't help but rush into the Hanyuan Hall holding the handle of his sword.
When Emperor Hongdao saw Feng Tianyang rushing in, he said coldly: "Just stand in the middle of the hall for me, no matter who it is, as long as I don't let him speak, if he dares to speak, you will behead him!"
Feng Tianyang was a big-hearted man with a weak brain, and he would not listen to anyone except Emperor Hongdao. This rude man would dare to do anything arranged by Emperor Hongdao, and all the civil and military officials jokingly called him a stick.
Yi Yiji was pressing the handle of the knife with his hand, and looked around with a cold face. Seeing that posture, even if Pei Yanting, the leader of the six tribes, spoke, he would dare to chop him with a knife.
All the civil and military officials were silent. No one was stupid enough to fight with someone, because that would really lead to death.
Hanyuan Hall was finally quiet, and Emperor Hongdao was very satisfied. It seemed that fools were sometimes much more useful than smart people.
Emperor Hongdao was about to speak when he saw Tong Zhilang, who was ranked sixth, stood up and bowed.
Emperor Hongdao frowned. You are a sixth-grade civil official. What are you going to say? What can you say? He couldn't help but snorted "Say!".
Wu Zhengdao racked his brains over the years to join several ministers, but unfortunately they looked down on him, so he lost the opportunity to go further. Now that the country is facing a national crisis, the civil and military officials have not come up with a decent explanation.
He took advantage of the quarrel between the civil servants and the military attache to figure out a strategy to avoid a national war, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show off in front of Emperor Hongdao.
Emperor Hongdao asked him to speak, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he took a few steps forward with great joy and prostrated himself.
Seeing Wu Zhengdao salute, Emperor Hongdao felt even more angry. What a waste of time, and he could not help but wave his sleeves and say: "Get up and speak!"
Only then did Wu Zhengdao get up and began to talk in a loud voice...
Emperor Hongdao had been emperor for decades and had seen all kinds of officials, some were wily and scheming, some were just and awe-inspiring, and some were desperate to meet him, but today this was the first time he had seen this tough-headed official.
Wu Zhengdao was talking eloquently, and his saliva was flying everywhere, especially when he saw the Holy Emperor frowning and saying nothing, and all the officials were focusing on him, and even his bones were staring at him stupidly. For a moment, he became even more complacent, and he was very confident.
A blown posture.
After Wu Zhengdao finished speaking, he saw Emperor Hongdao looking at him and smiling: "Is it over?"
"I've finished speaking!"
Emperor Hongdao laughed again: "That's it! After that, just take it out and chop it!"
Wu Zhengdao originally thought that Emperor Hongdao would praise him, but he never thought that Emperor Hongdao was going to kill him. He thought he heard wrongly, so he bowed and said, "Who did you say you should kill, Your Majesty?"
"I said I'd kill you!" Emperor Hongdao was delighted. There was indeed something wrong with this man's mind.
Wu Zhengdao heard clearly this time, and was so frightened that his knees softened and he knelt down. At the same time, he begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! I just want to share your worries for Your Majesty. Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongdao looked around, then picked up a glass bottle. He came to Wu Zhengdao in a hurry, leaned over and looked at him, and then smashed the bottle on Wu Zhengdao's head...
Emperor Hongdao's approach was a bit excessive. No one would beat a minister in the royal palace. However, Zhonglilu, the imperial censor who always valued etiquette and law more important than his life, turned his head away, as if he was out of sight.
Not only was the old man Zhonglilu unhappy, but Emperor Hongdao was also annoyed. Whenever he saw anyone violating etiquette and law, he would catch anyone, even the emperor. Zhonglilu was pretending to be deaf and dumb all this time because of this. Then Wu Zhengdao should be slapped. If the Holy One hadn't already taken action, he would have wanted to slap him twice.
At this time, Emperor Hongdao in the main hall was glaring at Wu Zhengdao, who had a bloody head, and said through gritted teeth: "You are sharing my worries, you are making me infamous for thousands of years! I have been in the Qian Dynasty for more than 600 years, and I only listen to It is said that there are kings who open up territories and expand their territory, but I have never heard of any king who ceded territory and paid compensation!"
Emperor Hongdao looked around at the officials and said coldly: "I don't dare to compare with our great ancestor, but I am not a fool either. Today someone actually asked me to cut off the three border counties to Tiemo Le. Do you think this person should be killed?" Should he be killed?"
Before Baiguan could reply, Feng Tianyang spoke first: "I'll chop you off, you traitor!"
Emperor Hongdao waved his hand, and Feng Tianyang sheathed the sword, but his eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at Wu Zhengdao without blinking.
Emperor Hongdao said: "Look, even if I know that traitors deserve to die, there are still people who dare to push me into the pit of fire! I leave my words here today. If anyone dares to let me cede territory to others in the future, there will be no need for guards." Take action, I will chop him up myself!"
As soon as Emperor Hongdao finished speaking, he saw the door of Hanyuan Hall being pushed open, and an old man strode in...
Seeing the old man who had entered unannounced, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but stand up and salute at the same time, saying respectfully: "God of war, be safe!".
Emperor Hongdao hurriedly took two steps forward and saluted: "Military God Wan'an! Why are you here, old man?"
The military god said with a cold face: "If you don't come back, your Chen family's empire will be ruined by these ignorant boys!"
Emperor Hongdao looked around at the officials coldly, then looked at the God of War and smiled: "With you here, the Chen family's empire will be as stable as copper forging iron!"
The God of War ignored Emperor Hongdao and said loudly: "Where is King Qi?"
"I'm thinking about my mistakes behind closed doors!" Emperor Hongdao replied.
The military god was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Tell him to go back to the army and reorganize the army to prepare for war. At the same time, Babaili hastily notified all counties, and each county sent 500 soldiers to assemble in Taiyuan County."
The Daqian Dynasty had 360 counties, and each county sent out 500 soldiers, which is 180,000 people. This is not a small number. You must know that there are only 200,000 elites outside Daxing City.
Emperor Hongdao frowned and said, "Did Tie Molele come out in full force this time?"
I saw the God of War took out a letter from his arms and said coldly: "This is sent by someone sent by Tie Moleh. I won't read the letter. Let's talk about the key points. Tie Moleh gathered an army of 400,000 to march towards I declare war..."
Emperor Hongdao listened to the words of the God of War, his face changed again and again, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "Is Tie Molle crazy if you ask Daqian Dynasty to surrender?"
The God of War continued: "The number of 400,000 is either true or false. Tie Moleh has tied all the tribes in Mobei and the grassland into chariots. The actual number of people who can fight should not exceed 200,000. I will send out 100,000 elite troops. Including the government troops, we can have an army of 280,000. This time I will personally take command and I will definitely defeat it."
The old man, the god of war, has spoken, and all the officials no longer need to argue, and Emperor Hongdao will be relieved. Emperor Hongdao will be relieved, but all the officials will be exhausted. A national war is a battle of life and death, and the state machine Once it was started, it was impossible to think of the parts on these machines.
