Frankly speaking, Li Chengzhi did not sit back and wait for the army to break into chaos, thereby causing a catastrophe. Instead, he acted vigorously and decisively, which can be said to be "taking into account the overall situation" and "knowing the general situation".
Therefore, the situation has not yet reached a serious level. As Cui Guang said, if word spreads, the most it will do is make the courtiers and people criticize for a while.
But we can't take it lightly, otherwise we will lose the support of the people. Therefore, we should appease and reward when we should, so as to settle the troubles as soon as possible.
The question is, who to send?
Don't think about Yuan Ying, Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Jia. Their absence will only intensify the conflict.
If you don’t read the letter from Gao Zhao that Li Chengzhi warned, the wording is so stern: If you insist on going your own way, don’t blame me, Li Chengzhi, for turning against me and having no relatives.
This is clearly a warning to Gao Zhao, if the army dares to enter the pass, I will lead the troops to attack you...
No matter how unbearable Gao Zhao is, he is also the obedient father of the Queen Mother and Gao Wenjun, and had a close personal relationship with him in the past. Why is Li Chengzhi suddenly so ruthless?
It seems that Li Chengzhi was already extremely angry because of this matter, so if someone like Yuan Ying acted like a servant to comfort him, it would only make matters worse.
As for You Zhao, Cui Guang, and Liu Fang, they were already angry, thinking that since they had to avoid us for a certain period of time, why did they think of us when they were dealing with the aftermath?
If you don’t take pleasure in others’ misfortunes, adding insult to injury would be the end of your kindness and righteousness...
And apart from these six, the weight of the others is far behind. Not to mention Li Chengzhi, I am afraid that even Li Shao can't see his good face, so how can he be comforted?
That's why it was so quiet for a while, and no one wanted to answer.
Fortunately, Gao Ying is no longer Wu Xia Amen. Although he has no quick wit, he still shows strength to him.
She glanced slightly, skipping the important ministers, and finally landed on Cui Guang's face: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Therefore, if your father is worried, the ministers should solve the problem... What does Cui Shangshu think?"
/p>
Cui Guang has a toothache.
He knew that if he talked too fast today, he would definitely cause trouble, so what?
But if he is allowed to pretend to be deaf and dumb, it will still feel like a lump in his throat or a ray of light on his back.
So he let Cui Zuchi off the hook for Li Chengzhi, impartially, and truthfully reported to the court his contribution to the city's surrender, and he had to accept his favor.
Otherwise, why take such a big risk and quietly ask Wei Zijian to go north overnight?
That's all, why not go there again...
He sighed slightly, bowed his hands and said, "What the Queen Mother said is true!"
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this: "Would you like to be the minister?"
"The Queen Mother has an order, and Guang should obey it, but there is one thing that we must ask!"
Cui Guang replied, raising his brows and looking at Yuanying as if provoking: "Is Guang going here to give orders or to prophesy?"
Yuanying's chest bulged, and she was almost knocked out in one breath: This thief is really hateful, will it be over?
Even Yuan Cheng and Yuan Jia looked sad and resentful: You know clearly that Yuan Ying’s words are harsh, so why bother with them?
Li Chengzhi has repeatedly made extraordinary contributions. If he is not rewarded, he will be held accountable. Even if he does not rebel, he will be forced to rebel...
Therefore, although they were in the same boat, when Yuan Ying wildly shouted that he wanted to punish Li Chengzhi for the crime of disrespect, both Yuan Cheng and Yuan Ying remained silent.
Gao Ying's eyebrows were lightly knitted, showing anger: "This matter is of great importance. Is it true that the minister knows this and asks the question?"
Liu Fang hurriedly touched Cui Guang's arm, and Cui Guang smiled: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it's my lord Meng Lang!"
"In this case, please Cui Shangshu set off as soon as possible without any delay. It is up to you to decide the rewards for one of the troops. Submit the memorial as soon as possible, and I will give it to you..."
"I obey the decree!"
"Then let's break up!"
"No!"
All the ministers stood up, bowed their heads respectfully, and watched Gao Ying enter the back hall. Then Cui Guang flicked his long sleeves, ignored Yuan Ying and others, and walked away.
Liu Fang hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh, bowed her hands towards Yuan Ying and the others, and left the hall.
When he turned around, he realized that You Zhaolong had already walked down the stairs with his sleeves hanging. He was actually even more rude than Cui Guang, not even able to wave his sleeves.
Seeing this, Yuan Jia inevitably regrets: If he had known that he would shoot himself in the foot, he should not have been persuaded by Yuan Ying and Yuan Cheng.
Now he not only hates Cui Guang, You Zhao, and Liu Fang, but also makes the Queen Mother very angry.
Gone are the days when we were like light and dust, light, wind and bright moonlight.
What made him regret even more was: If he knew that Li Chengzhi had the power to recover, why would he bother to be such a villain?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Yuan Jia suddenly stood up: "At this time when life and death are at stake, don't create complications and cause trouble again. When Su Pingxiao is young and Ou Yu is clear, it won't be too late to start arguing again..."<
/p>
After saying this, he went straight out of the hall without waiting for Yuanying and Yuan Cheng to respond.
Yuan Cheng sighed sadly: "Li Chengzhi has been wronged, but he is able to take the overall situation into consideration and seek compromise after suffering. It is extremely rare. From this point of view, this son is not an ambitious person, let alone aspirants... This time it should be me
Waiting for Meng Lang..."
"When Wang Mang was humble and not compiling, he knew people but not their hearts. How dare Dao Zhen'an make such a conclusion?"
Yuan Ying's face was livid, and she lowered her voice: "This man keeps claiming to be loyal to the late emperor, but secretly has an affair with the empress dowager. He is really worse than a beast. From this we can know that this thief is
With the face of a human and the heart of an animal, with a secretive tongue and a sword in his belly, he is actually not a kind person..."
"Now it's just you and me chasing rumors. Can we take what we hear from hearsay? Moreover, even if this is true, it is just like Li Chong during the time of Empress Dowager Feng. With Li Chengzhi's talents, he might not be able to cooperate with the Holy Lord like Li Chong.
To serve the young emperor and help the country..."
"What kind of character is Li Chong: loyal, gentle, wise, benevolent, respectful, trustworthy, and benevolent? And what kind of character is this son: arrogant and unscrupulous? The late emperor dared to call him by his name in person, which shows his ambition to treat barbarians?" Yuan Ying's eyes were cold and stern, "If this were not the case, why did the late emperor claim that Tian Lei's words were false rumors when pressed repeatedly, and even used chickens to deceive him? But when he arrived in Beizhen, Su suddenly appeared in the world, and he established this
Amazing achievement? I just want to take advantage of this battle to establish prestige and fame, and to seize power and gain..."
Yuan Cheng looked strange: So, Li Chengzhi worked hard and used all possible means to win the battle, but shouldn't he?
But to be fair, what Yuanying said is not unreasonable: in addition to Tianlei, there is also the origin of the Hexi Relics, which makes people suspicious and has to be on guard.
With only a few thousand soldiers, Du Lun's tribe was wiped out in ten days... But with such a strong army, Li Chengzhi commanded them like an arm, coming when they were called, and going away when he waved them off?
Every time I think about it, I shudder...
"But as King Guangyang said, the overall situation should be the most important thing now. Therefore, let's put it aside for the time being. When his master returns to the court, the tiger will enter the cage and the goshawk will fold its wings. It will not be too late to make further calculations then...
”
"Don't worry... This time it was really unexpected. I didn't expect that he would be able to turn the tables and not win? It will never happen again in the future..."
