Chapter 5
"Your Majesty, General Wang Ming'an of Zhenyuan disobeyed the emperor's order and attacked without authorization, causing our army to suffer heavy losses. His crime should be punished. I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to punish Wang Ming'an with military law, so as to boost the morale of the army!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Yuan went to court for an unprecedented time.It's not because he couldn't wait to extend his hand to the government, but because something big happened in the court.The news of the border war ahead revealed that the Dazheng Kingdom suffered a major defeat.

It's just that he didn't expect that, as soon as he went to court, someone went straight to the topic.To be able to say such a thing, it goes without saying that he knows whose idea it is.Seeing the old god at ease, with a calm expression on the prime minister Shen Yuan, Zhao Yuan couldn't help scolding the old fox secretly.

If it is about others, Zhao Yuan, who knows nothing about the government, may not be very clear.But Zhao Yuan happened to know about Wang Mingan.This Wang Mingan is the son-in-law of General Zhang Yuan.Although the ability is not very good, but the kung fu of flattering is first-class.

Wang Mingan has 37 soldiers and horses under his command, and they are currently guarding the front pass to guard against the Datong Kingdom in the south.Datong Kingdom has three counties and [-] towns under its jurisdiction, and its area is only half of that of Dazheng Kingdom, but the land is much better than that of Dazheng Kingdom, and it is relatively rich.However, the military strength is not strong. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has always focused on defense.

Even so, Wang Ming'an was often defeated, and his ability to lead the army was also evident.A few days ago, there was a rebellion in Datong country, and the internal instability.After Wang Mingan got the news, he immediately felt that the opportunity had come.

If the Datong Kingdom is brought down, the credit will not be too loud.Even if you can't fight it down, even if you can occupy a few towns, it can be regarded as expanding the territory for the country.Not to mention that he can make himself stand up, and it is enough to make himself famous, so that his father-in-law can be promoted to his official position again.

Therefore, Wang Ming'an immediately dispatched troops, and led a mighty army to invade the Datong Kingdom.But who would have thought that Wang Mingan's ability to lead the army is really appalling.Staying close to the city can still make a living, but going out of the city to fight in the field is a mess.The 2 elite army was defeated by the [-] horses that the opponent improvised.

But whoever makes Wang Mingan have a good husband, even if the battle is not good, he can still get promoted and make a fortune.For him, many people are already dissatisfied.Moreover, since Zhao Yuan ascended the throne five years ago, the three forces have been fighting each other, and they have already torn their faces.With such a good opportunity at this time, the bayonet became popular beforehand.

Wang Ming'an's fighting skills are not very good, but he is a diehard general Zhang Yuan's loyalist, and it is not easy to be bribed by high-ranking officials and generous salary.Such a useless defeat also gave the other two parties an excuse.Taking the opportunity to take down Wang Ming'an, not only to take the [-] troops in his hands, but also to cut off one of Zhang Yuan's arms.

At this moment, it is reasonable for Shen Yuan to use him for surgery, no one can fault him.Besides, General Zhang Yuan has always been partial to this son-in-law, which inevitably caused dissatisfaction among his subordinates.At this moment, even the people under the command of the general will be secretly happy.

"Your Majesty's victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If everyone has to be severely punished after losing a battle, then who would dare to serve the country. It is true that General Wang suffered a defeat, but he also stabilized the morale of the army in time. He did not let the enemy's army advance half a point. But the merits and demerits can be equalized!"

"This statement is wrong. General Wang's [-] elite soldiers were defeated by a group of mobs. Is this considered a common occurrence in military affairs? If the punishment is not severe, the world may not accept it!"

The debate had just begun, the bosses naturally couldn't speak, and the younger brothers at the bottom acted as vanguards, rushing up one by one, fighting with each other for blushing and thick necks.Even the generals were cursing, and even swearing had already been uttered.

The other party was not to be outdone, and criticized Wang Ming'an by citing scriptures.From the matter of losing the battle, it directly rose to the issue of character, the issue of the country.It seems that if Wang Mingan is not severely punished, the country will perish.Those guys really didn't use dirty words when swearing, and the straightforward generals were full of resentment but there was nothing they could do.

What's more, some people have already started to raise their arms, as if they would fight with them if they disagreed with each other.Zhao Yuan frowned as he watched the entire court hall filled with smog.Look at the two people in the front again, looking at their noses and noses, looking at their hearts, as if none of this has anything to do with me, and they don't have the slightest intention to come up to persuade them to fight.

Zhao Yuan sighed helplessly, that's how he behaved.No matter how big the country is, they have to be wiped out.The foundation of the Dazheng Kingdom over the years is probably exhausted in these battles.You must know that Dazheng Kingdom is not a big country, and the surrounding countries are all eyeing it.Once weakened, I am afraid that everyone will pounce on it and eat it.

"Enough!" Zhao Yuan, who was sitting high on the top, couldn't bear it any longer, and he roared angrily, which also made the people on both sides stop.

"Look at what each of you looks like. This is the court hall, not the vegetable market!" After taking a deep breath, Zhao Yuan immediately looked at the two people in front, and asked slowly, "What do the prime minister and the general think about this matter?" How to deal with it?"

"I think that although General Wang suffered a defeat, his heart to serve the country is very commendable. What's more, at this moment, the army of the Datong Kingdom is pressing every step of the way. Changing generals at this moment may make the army's morale unstable and cause even greater defeats. From this general's point of view, it's better to let him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

"En!" Nodding slightly, Zhao Yuan turned to ask, "What does the prime minister think?"

"I think that although what the general said is reasonable, the crime of dereliction of duty must be punished. What's more, I have some doubts about General Wang's ability to command the army. The army led by General Wang has been defeated repeatedly. If he leads the army again, I'm afraid that not only the army ahead will suffer consecutive defeats, but they may even lose their way through customs!"

"Give it up, you're talking nonsense! How could Ming'an's ability to command troops be casually commented on by a civil servant like you who doesn't know much about military affairs?"

"No nonsense, everyone knows that the general is not trying to be selfish, right?" Shen Yuan replied in a neutral tone, and immediately said loudly to Zhao Yuan, "The minister proposes that Wang Ming'an should be dismissed from the position of General Zhenyuan, and another Send an old general to the border to lead the army!"

"Hmph, changing generals just before the battle is a big taboo in the army. Who will be responsible for the defeat at that time. What's more, Ming'an passed the customs a few years before he commanded the army, and the army's prestige is very high. If you change generals rashly, tens of thousands of soldiers may be dissatisfied If something bad happens at that time, I wonder if the Prime Minister can afford it?"

"you"

Hearing this, not only Shen Yuan snorted coldly, but even Zhao Yuan frowned slightly.Zhang Yuan didn't care about the overall situation at all, and he ignored the reasoning when he knew he was wrong, so he directly changed the threat.If it doesn't go according to his wishes, I'm afraid he will really make the soldiers under him rise up and make a fuss. This is a war, and it will be a lot of fun!
It's no wonder that the two sides have been fighting for so many years, and the treacherous and cunning Prime Minister Shen Yuan has never been able to completely overwhelm him.It is really hard to explain why a scholar meets a soldier.If you can't say enough, people will be unreasonable at all.

Military power is his lifeblood. If someone really moves him, I'm afraid Zhang Yuan will really jump his feet.Besides, as long as he backs down, he doesn't think that the enemy will really take the overall situation into consideration and not threaten again, and he will not know how the whole family will die at that time.At this point, all of them have no choice.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. Let General Wang command the troops to defend against the enemy first. We will discuss this matter after the enemy's army has been repulsed!"

In the end, it was Zhao Yuan who made the decision.Although he was very unwilling, Shen Yuan seemed to have acquiesced and no longer expressed his opinion.But Zhao Yuan could tell that at this moment Shen Yuan must be plotting secretly, and it will explode soon.

To be honest, Zhao Yuan was also moved at this moment.Who wants to command the [-] Frontier Army, but he has no manpower to take over now.If you intervene hastily, it will not only arouse the vigilance of all parties, but will only be taken advantage of by others in the end.It's only a matter of time that this matter can be delayed, it's better than being divided up by others directly.

After a morning, except for the fierce verbal battle at the beginning, the rest is all nonsense.It makes people feel that the previous battle has exhausted everyone's energy and made them all dormant.

Walking on the avenue of the imperial palace, Zhao Yuan felt very worried.Early in the morning, I wanted to go to the court to find out the bottom line, but I didn't expect that things were far beyond my imagination, and Zhao Yuan refreshed his understanding of them again.The three parties above the court are fighting for power and profit, and I am afraid that they have reached the point of unscrupulous.If they are allowed to continue to make trouble, I am afraid that the country will not be far away!

The biggest problem now is that there is no loyal manpower. In the past, Zhao Yuan didn't care about the affairs of the court at all, and let them go.This also led to the fact that in the entire court, Zhao Yuan has no idea who can use him, and he is still loyal to him, the emperor.Who are the diehards of others, there is no way to win over them.

Now he has a few usable eunuchs in his hands, but there are no usable people above the court, let alone the generals.It seems that the road to regaining power still has a long way to go!
