Please, let me be a fool

"If we don't start a war, will Gao Yang be allowed to humiliate my Great Wei like this?"

Wei Yunyi turned his head, and immediately said: "I, Great Wei, since I am the lord of the Central Plains, must show a corresponding majesty and attitude, otherwise how can I convince the public?"

"Besides, Gaoyang is only a small country. To deal with him, [-] to [-] troops from Liaodong is enough."

"As for the garrisons prepared for the northern border, there is no need to move at all, and it will not affect the overall situation!"

At this moment, there are only two things Wei Yunyi thinks about.

One is to launch a war directly, no matter what the final result is.

After going through this battle, Gao Yang and Da Wei are bound to turn against each other, so the comprehensive communication after that is completely out of the question.

In this way, in this respect, the growth of Wei's luck can be completely restrained.

The second is to start a war, which consumes money and national strength the most.

Don't you see that the army is aggressive, and it seems that it has won a lot of victories, but the national strength is deteriorating.

At the same time, he also knew that it was difficult for the current treasury of Great Wei to support two-front warfare. Even if it could, it would be completely empty after the fight.

Of course, there is another fundamental reason why Wei Yunyi launched the war, that is, he expected that with the current national strength of Gaoyang Kingdom, he would not be able to defeat Wei at all. But Gao Yangguo didn't have the courage.

That's why it is said that it is enough for Liaodong to send [-] to [-] troops.

Because what he thinks is very simple.

It is to let the Liaodong war enter a situation of pulling each other.

Firstly, they can continue to consume national power, and secondly, they dare not directly start a war with each other easily, avoiding various losses.

But there is another possibility.

That is, the [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in Liaodong can defeat Gaoyang State.

It's just that Wei Yunyi thinks that this possibility is too low. First of all, the overall strength of the Liaodong garrison is not comparable to that of the northern garrison, and Gao Yang is also a country, and there is no problem in gathering an army of 30 to [-].

Wei Yunyi didn't believe that in a situation of five to one, or even six to one, Da Wei could still win.

It can be said that this decision of mine is definitely the wisest.

Five or sixty thousand troops.

Go to war directly against a country?

Even Zhang Zhengming was stunned when he heard it.

He admits that Gaoyang country is not good, its national strength is not strong, but with only such a small number of people, it can go to war...

Is it too childish?

And the thoughts of the other ministers are similar, thinking about whether to persuade His Majesty?

But obviously, since Wei Yunyi has made a decision, he will not change it, so he looked at everyone and said solemnly: "My intention has been decided, there is no need to discuss this matter, you just need to prepare!"

This is the advantage of being an emperor. Even if there is a cabinet, once you express your attitude, it cannot be resisted.

Especially what he said was not only well-founded, but also based on the dignity of the Wei Dynasty.

If someone stood up to oppose it at this time, it would be disregarding the dignity of the country.

At this moment, the ministers didn't say much, they could only respectfully say: "Minister, please follow the order!"

At the same time, Minister of the Ministry of War paused, and continued: "However, Your Majesty, if you want to use troops against Gao Yang, who should you appoint as the commander?"

Others are also thinking about this question. The Liaodong garrison is not as good as the northern border, but there are many generals who can lead the army.

It's just that most of these generals are prepared for the northern border.

Because the northern border defense line is really too big.

Even with Marquis Shenwu here.

But in other places, there must be capable generals, right?

However, they feel that this matter is not difficult and they can transfer people from other places.

The current Great Wei, not to mention the generals like clouds, but it is not difficult to find a general who can deal with Gaoyang Kingdom.

Not to mention Zhang Zhengming, even Song Gongwen can think of several candidates.

"The coach?"

Wei Yunyi was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't thought about this question at all, after all, even the start of the war was decided temporarily.

But soon, a young candidate suddenly appeared in his mind.

Immediately looking at the crowd, he said with a soft smile: "I have made my own decision on this, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, you just need to prepare for the use of troops against Gaoyang Kingdom."

After hearing the words, several cabinet scholars didn't say much at the moment.

His Majesty has made his own decisions, just obey orders.

Master Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, took a step forward and said solemnly: "It is Your Majesty, and the Ministry of War will definitely prepare as soon as possible."

This sentence made Song Gongwen next to him startled. When you were about to withdraw from Gaoyang Kingdom and compromise, you didn't say anything. Now that His Majesty is going to start a big war, why do you still look a little excited?

"Is there anything else you need to do, Ai Qing?" Wei Yunyi asked immediately when he saw that the matter had been settled.

"I have no objection!"

The five cabinet scholars answered in unison.

Without hesitation immediately, he resigned and turned to leave the Imperial Study Room.

As for Wei Yunyi, he looked at the sky outside, it was almost noon.

Now it's meal time, so let Wang Jin drive to the empress's Kunshou Palace, and as for those excerpts, he ordered someone to send them to Concubine Ying's bedroom.

at the same time.

"Master Lin!"

Song Gongwen who just left the imperial study.

After privately agreeing with Zhang Zhengming to meet later, Zou hurriedly caught up with Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although he is also a member of the cabinet, in fact, he does not have much affection for Mr. Lin.

Because this person was born in the south of the Yangtze River, although he is not that kind of big family, not even the four major families in Longyang, but in fact, he also belongs to the gentry faction.

Song Gongwen even heard that when he was promoting the reform before, after the other party also submitted a memorial, his favorability plummeted.

But Nai He really had some doubts in his heart, so he had to catch up.

"Master Song, what's the matter?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of War is surnamed Lin, and his first name is Yuansong. He looks very old-fashioned.

After being called to a halt, his face was slightly displeased, but he did not leave.

"Master Lin," Song Gongwen cupped his hands slightly, and said, "Forgive me, I do have a question, that is, today's meeting before the imperial court, to discuss matters concerning the Gaoyang Kingdom, why did you not express your attitude before?"

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, the opponent's words are very important in this matter.

In particular, the matter of Gaoyang Kingdom was also brought up by the other party.

But the problem is that this person has not spoken in the early stage.

But finally at the end.

When His Majesty decided to use troops against Gao Yang, he asked about the candidate for the commander.

In Song Gongwen's understanding, it is obviously not the wisest choice for His Majesty to suddenly start a war now.

Others also expressed their views.

But the only thing missing is the Minister of the Ministry of War who is most qualified to speak, so he doesn't say anything.

If the other party can also oppose the dispatch of troops like other colleagues, maybe His Majesty will change his mind, but the other party has not done anything.He was naturally surprised, and wanted to ask why.

Although I also know that it is a bit abrupt to speak directly like this.

Beside, Lin Yuansong frowned slightly after hearing the words.

"Lord Song, you should know that I also belong to the gentry faction, and I don't agree with your promotion of sharing the income from the family to the mu. I have also made several memorials, imploring His Majesty to take back the order of the reform, so I, to you, also Unsatisfactory."

"Master Song please forgive me, I just speak so straightforwardly."

Straight, you must be straight!

Available in Majesty

Song Gongwen was silent to himself, but there was still a smile on his face, and he said immediately: "Of course I know what Mr. Lin is like."

Lin Yuansong nodded, and then continued: "But I also know that it's just that you and I have different factions and political opinions. I'm dissatisfied with you only because of business, not private."

"As for the question raised by Mr. Song, I will naturally not pretend to be profound, and it's okay to tell you."

Having said that, his expression became serious, and then he said: "I, Lin Yuansong, am Minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Song, since I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, how can I compromise with others? Is it a small country like Gaoyang?"

"It's their shamelessness that comes first, so don't blame us for being unrighteous, so I absolutely agree and support His Majesty's decision!"

"Even though this decision may have some consequences, as Minister of the Ministry of War, I not only want to safeguard the dignity of Wei."

"More importantly, I also represent all the soldiers of Great Wei. Under such circumstances, I must not compromise!"

"Master Song, do you understand now?"

Lin Yuansong finished speaking.

Immediately ignoring the other party's reaction, he turned and left.

It was just this remark that made Song Gongwen stunned on the spot.

all the time.

He thought that as long as he supported the gentry faction, he was extremely selfish and would not consider it for the country.

But today, because of what Minister of the Ministry of War said today, Song Gongwen's concept has changed.

As the other party said.

Different political opinions are public to public.

But now it is a matter of national dignity, and we must be consistent with the outside world.

Song Gongwen looked at the back of the other party going away, didn't say much, just bowed slightly.

Yes, this is the real courtier of Wei.

He suddenly felt.

Perhaps His Majesty's decision is correct.

Great Wei is the lord of the Central Plains, so he must show his majesty.

Unknowingly, his eyes also became firm. For this war, he must do his best!

Thinking like this, Song Gongwen turned his head and walked outside the palace.

...

Kunshou Palace.

The rich vegetable fragrance wafts around.

The queen was sitting in the courtyard, and from time to time someone brought some more delicious food.

But soon, Song Youwei frowned slightly, turned her head to look to the other side and said: "Hongzhi, the food is ready, why don't you come over to eat."

Although today is not the 15th day of junior high school, it is Song Hongzhi's [-]th birthday.

So she made the decision directly and asked her younger brother to come to Kunshou Palace for dinner.

It's just that Song Youwei at this moment feels a little strange.

On weekdays.

As long as this younger brother smells the aroma of the dishes he made with his own hands, he will just ignore them, and he will start to gobble them up when the dishes are not ready.

It's just that today, she has been standing by the side, and now that the dishes are all served, she still doesn't move...

"I'm coming here."

Not far away, Song Hongzhi also came to his senses when he heard his sister's shout.

Immediately turned around, walked to the table and sat down, but that look did not fall on the food.
