For Huang

On the second day, the battle situation in the northwest was directly sent to the capital through official channels, and the whole court was shocked for a while.Before this, they never thought that Old General Feng would die, nor did they think that a foreign race could force Yun Chao to this point.However, all the impossible things happened at this time!

There is no shortage of smart people in the court.At this time, the number of people chasing generals and refusing to participate in their dereliction of duty has been reduced. The question now is, what should Yun Chao do next?Once General Feng died, Northwest urgently needed someone to stand up and take charge of the overall situation. This cannot be delayed.Then who should this person be?

Even though Gong Qing already had a decision in her heart, she didn't open her mouth in the early court, and just listened silently to everyone's suggestions.

Gong Qing's body did not recover, but she used lip balm to cover up her pale lips, and deliberately painted her eyebrows a little heavier, making her look much more energetic.This makeup was done for her by Su Yunzhi. What Su Yunzhi is best at is making up healthy people into sick people, and vice versa.Gong Qing sat on the right side of the little emperor, this position was too special, when she was silent, she seemed to be detached from the entire court.

Things happened just as Gong Qing expected, because the old General Feng suppressed the young generals too much, even though the ministers put forward candidates for succession one after another, none of them could convince the public.He dispatched generals from other military regions, but he was unable to command the Feng family's army.

A person who can preside over the overall situation must have both status and ability.

The young generals under Old General Feng have the ability, but the status is not enough.

That being the case, it is enough for Old General Feng's successor to have status.As long as his status is high enough, even if he has no ability, his existence itself is a deterrent.With such a person controlling the situation, the real war can naturally be handed over to capable people.

So, sure enough, someone mentioned Yujia's personal conquest.

Of course, this proposal had only just surfaced, and was immediately suppressed by others.

This kind of development was all expected by Gong Qing.Her eyes swept over several ministers who hadn't left the stage yet, these were considered important ministers in the court.Once something happens in the DPRK, these people are often not the first to roll up their sleeves and end the debate.But they are the ones who can lead the development of things.These are all old foxes, just by looking at their faces, you can't tell what they are thinking in their hearts.

Gong Qing got a headache from the noise.In other words, her head was already hurting, so her attention was inevitably a little distracted.

Gong Qing reached out and rubbed her temples.The Chinese medicine she drank in the morning left her tongue still bitter.

When Gong Qing came back to his senses, he saw several ministers besieging a young servant.This little servant is surnamed Zhu.Gong Qing had paid attention to this person before. He didn't seem to have any serious backing behind him, but he climbed up to the position of servant step by step, which shows that he is scheming and has means.The reason why Gong Qing noticed this person was because when searching through the archives of previous years' memorials, he found a document that had been suppressed.

That booklet was written by Zhu Shilang, and it is already a few years ago.At that time, Emperor Qianqing was not yet married, and he had almost no power in his hands; at that time, Zhu Shilang should still be a newcomer to the officialdom, probably still harboring the inherent innocence of a young man.The note Zhu Shilang submitted was about land reform.After Gong Qing read this brochure, she felt that Zhu Shilang had a lot of ideas, but it was a pity that this brochure had been buried for many years.

But, then again, if Emperor Qianqing, who had little power in his hands, met a relatively immature Zhu Shilang, even if Emperor Qianqing at that time had seen the meaning of land reform, the relationship between their monarchs and ministers Cooperation will not succeed.Because this land reform obviously violated the interests of the aristocratic family and the powerful.Emperor Qianqing was reluctant to protect himself, but could he still protect a servant Zhu?

For a good minister to become a good minister, it is not enough to have a king who appreciates him, but also to have the right time, place and people.

Gong Qing squinted her eyes and listened for a while, and soon figured out why Zhu Shilang was besieged.

Zhu Shilang also seemed to have raised the issue of grain and grass reserves in the hands of foreign races, so he proposed to conduct a thorough investigation of grain depots in various places.However, many people felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.At this moment, everyone is concerned about the war in the Northwest, but you, a little servant, proposed the matter of auditing the accounts, which seems to be logical, but is it necessary to check the accounts? Do you know how cumbersome the process is? Do you actually want to Want to help the aliens divert their attention?

Wen Chen's mouth is very powerful, and he can spray people with pots of dirty water out of nothing.

"The Ai family is also very curious about where the food and grass in the hands of the foreigners in the Northwest come from." Gong Qing stopped the farce, "However, the adults are also right, and now it is useless to pursue these things, but ...Who will take over the post of General Feng, what can you discuss?"

Before everyone could speak, Gong Qing said again: "... Aijia knows what each of you thinks. It's just that there are few foreigners. Even if they have a little reserve of food and grass in their hands, they can delay the war again. Last year or two, can they drag it on for three or four years? But, don’t forget that two cities in the northwest have already fallen! If we continue to let the aliens run rampant, they will burn, kill and loot all the way, and they will be able to get us all the way. The common people have grabbed supplies of food and grass! You procrastinate! Procrastinate again! Procrastinate to the end, Aijia will see how you end up!"

These words were so loud that it took too much energy for Gong Qing.After she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing.

Gong Qing weakened the question raised by Zhu Shilang, not because she didn't want to agree with Zhu Shilang's point of view, but she just didn't want to make the people behind the scenes vigilant too early.If there were really serious problems in Yunchao's officialdom, then this important Beijing official present was not worthy of trust.If no one is in the middle of the court to cover the sky with one hand, can small fights in the local area really single-handedly lead the battle to the current situation?

But some people dismissed what Gong Qing said.

They felt that the situation Gong Qing said was impossible to happen, and thought it was a woman's unfounded worry.As long as the foreign races do not really attack the capital, they will always maintain the pride of "Shangguo" in their hearts, thinking that even if they lose one city or two cities now, the foreign races will still be repulsed by Yun Chao in the end.In the eyes of these people, fighting a war seems to be an easy task, and they don't even see the corpses strewn all over the battlefield.

Gong Qing sighed inwardly.

People in the court have different thoughts. Even now, there are still very few who can truly serve the country and the people selflessly.

Bad money drives out good money everywhere.From Gaozong's death to the present, it has only been a short period of 20 years. 20 years is just enough for a generation to grow up, but the Qingming Dynasty created by Gaozong has already become a mess.When upright officials die and good ones scatter, what is left is those who flirt with their beards, bully the weak and fear the hard, play wise and protect themselves, and despicable villains and the like.It's not that there are no good officials now, but the current environment is really bad.

After going down to court, Gong Qing returned to Zhaoyang Hall.

Su Yunzhi was still busy, Sony and Apple surrounded her and made plans.

"The porridge is hot on the stove, you should drink some first. Then go on to sleep well." Su Yunzhi looked up at Gong Qing and said.The porridge has been simmering for a long time, and the rice is ground very finely, and it is slowly boiled bit by bit over a low fire.A thick layer of porridge oil was boiled on the porridge.

"I'm much better now." Gong Qing said.

"If you can't fall asleep, let Sprite make you a recliner and lay it next to me. I allow you to sit and admire my beauty, but I don't allow you to do that kind of exhausting thing again. You You must also want to get better soon, right?" Su Yunzhi blinked at Gong Qing.

Gong Qing didn't speak, but just let out a "huh".

Sprite quickly brought out the porridge, along with some side dishes to go with the porridge.According to Gong Qing's taste, each side dish is not prepared much, but when cooking, it tries to maintain the taste of the vegetables themselves, as if they were boiled in clear water and then sprinkled with a little salt.

Gong Qing said: "Go and get two more sauced meat. Oh, the white meat cut last time is good, prepare some too."

"It's rare! You've even changed your taste when you're sick?" Su Yunzhi joked.

Gong Qing shook his head: "As expected, you are so busy that you ignore the time... Today's morning is a bit late, so it's rare that you haven't felt hungry yet?" At this time, people usually only eat two meals a day.Su Yunzhi had already had breakfast, but she got up too early today because her schedule was completely different from usual, so she didn't eat anything at all.And she has been concentrating and busy for so long, she probably feels hungry now.

Su Yunzhi put down her pen and rubbed her stomach: "You said that..." His stomach growled.

Gong Qing shook, with a little doting on his face, and said: "Come and drink porridge with me, I won't prepare anything else for you."

"Well...then you should eat first, don't wait for me. It will take a while for Sprite to come back." Su Yunzhi said again.

Gong Qing was not polite, so he ate first.She also ate some food in the morning, and then she was fed with traditional Chinese medicine, and her appetite is still not very good.Therefore, when Xuebi came back with a few dishes of Su Yunzhi's favorite dishes, Gong Qing had already eaten them.

Gong Qing signaled Sprite to put the side dishes on the table, then changed a pair of chopsticks and spoons, scraped a spoonful of white porridge at the right temperature with the spoon, handed it to Su Yunzhi's mouth, and said, "Shall I feed you? Save you You have to wash your hands. I think you are so busy that you don't even have time to eat."

Su Yunzhi lowered her head and took the porridge in her mouth.

"You feed me? You will definitely trick me into eating a lot of vegetables." Su Yunzhi swallowed the food in her mouth and muttered.

"You don't want to?" Gong Qing couldn't help laughing.

"Well, I have a beauty to serve me once, even if I am willing to eat bitter gourd. Vegetable tofu is quite delicious." Su Yunzhi blinked.
