Your Majesty, please do not

In the early morning, Deng Zhi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, played, and the Chaduo army captured two cities in Yongzhou. General Ye Tingshu of Pingxi died in battle, with no bones left.The [-] Ye family army was in chaos without a leader.

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Zuo Lin Zhuhui was so frightened by the news that his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Zhuhui was helped down to rest, and the person who was supposed to be in charge of the military department was not there, so Ouyang Qing could only take over this responsibility, and asked Deng Zhi: "Didn't you transfer several people from the south before, and Ye Tingshu originally had a deputy general, why is there no one to lead him? "

Deng Zhi replied: "The [-] soldiers are called the 'Ye Family Army'. Those few people have been at odds with General Ye, so no one will listen to their leadership."

"Ridiculous!" Ouyang Qing said angrily, "Ye Tingshu's soldiers are all supported by the imperial court, how dare they call them 'Ye Family Army'?!"

Deng Zhi didn't answer, Ouyang Qing knew it was useless to ask him.For so many years, the imperial court has always trusted Ye Tingshu, who is invincible. If he wants to take those military forces as his own, he will let him go. Anyway, as long as he can resist Chaduo people, he can do whatever he wants.

But who knew that Ye Tingshu would die in battle one day?

"What's Chado's plan?" Liang Huan asked.

Deng Zhi said carefully: "The momentum is like a broken bamboo, I'm afraid I won't let it go."

Now everyone was stunned, which meant that they had to continue fighting.

Continue to fight, what if there are no generals?

Ouyang Qing thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up at Liang Huan, and had an idea.

But the idea was not for him to speak.

Liang Huan looked back at him and thought of the same idea.

However, he just asked the Ministry of Rites to take care of Ye Tingshu's funeral.As for who will go to war, he said: We will discuss it later.

Watching the other people leave Suyin Hall, the statement didn't move at all.He was used to it, every time Liang Huan asked everyone to leave, he was not included.If he really left, Liang Huan would have to call him in front of everyone, it was too embarrassing, so he might as well not leave.

Liang Huan dragged him up to the attic.It was going to be winter, so he asked Lu Yin to set a pot of charcoal fire in the attic, and the two of them sat on the bench near the charcoal fire.

Seeing Liang Huan's preoccupied appearance, before he could open his mouth, he couldn't bear the statement: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Xingli," Liang Huan grabbed his arm and said very seriously, "I've got to discuss something with you."

Statement Zhi smiled helplessly, discuss?What did he say, how could he disagree?

"Actually, it has nothing to do with you. It's my business. But now I think I should discuss my business with you."

Liang Huan then told the story about Ye Tingshu mentioned in the court.

Hearing the statement, he was very surprised. How could Ye Tingshu, a God of War figure, die if he died?But those ministers didn't care how Ye Tingshu died at all.

They don't care, and they can't care if they state it.He could only ask along the way: "Your Majesty, is there a way?"

Liang Huan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I was thinking, if Ye Tingshu's soldiers refuse to accept, then I have to go. If they refuse to accept me, then there is no need to fight this battle."

He is going to lead the army?There was a slight turmoil in the heart of the statement, and it was hard to say what it was.

"And...the place they took is your home."

In the past, Liang Huan never cared about the border wars.Never cared about it, didn't want to, didn't know how to handle it, didn't need to, in short, never asked.Even if he could build the Suyin Hall to deal with Ouyang Qing, even if he sympathized with the common people's concern for the people's livelihood, he never thought of intervening in the war.

Until one day, Chen Zhizhi told him that his hometown was taken by Chaduo and his family disappeared under the hands of Chaduo.Liang Huan didn't know where the impulse came from, but he suddenly wanted to take care of this matter.

He kept telling himself that this is what he should do, for the dignity of this country, and for the stability of the border.He tried his best to convince himself with those high-sounding reasons, so as to cover up the original intention that he couldn't show.

Hearing this, the statement was shocked, got up and knelt at his feet, lowered his head and said in a solemn voice: "Since your majesty said it was a discussion, the minister said a few words to disagree. You think so, I am very grateful, But you must put your own safety first, and you must not put yourself in danger because of your minister."

Liang Huan raised his eyebrows and pulled him up, "Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't kneel for a day? Even without you, this matter is up to me."

When he said this, there was no reason for his refusal.He got up and sat next to him, "Your Majesty either discussed it with the minister, or made up his mind. Come and inform the minister."

Liang Huan thought about it, it seemed right?

"I also have something I want to discuss with Your Majesty." Chen Zhi faced him and spoke very seriously.

"You said."

"I want to go with His Majesty."

Liang Huan frowned and said, "You don't know anything about war, and you won't be able to help if you go there. Why bother to suffer in the bitter cold of the border."

I don't know where I suddenly thought of, and Chen Zhi lowered his eyes, "It is precisely because I don't understand, so I want to take a look and learn. Yongzhou is the hometown of the minister, and I am used to living there."

Liang Huan thought about this matter for a while. Although he stated that he was a civil servant, watching a war from the sidelines was an excellent opportunity to broaden his horizons. After returning to the court, his vision would be different.If he wants to do great things, this experience will be of great benefit to him.

He raised the statement's chin, stared at him and said, "I'll take you there if you go and listen to me in everything."

"I always listen to you in everything." Chen Zhi pursed his lips.

He didn't know why he suddenly came up with such an idea, even if he wanted to practice, he didn't have to go to the battlefield.What else could it be?He himself doesn't understand very well.

Soon Liang Huan announced that he would march to the northwest and lead [-] soldiers to fight against the Chaduo army.During his absence in the capital, the two prime ministers were in power together.

When this news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were full of surprise.In the eyes of most courtiers, the young emperor has not done anything serious since he took the throne.There is no martial arts, let alone martial arts.

So everyone felt that Liang Huan was going to Yongzhou to play.

There was also a censor who tried to persuade him symbolically, but of course he rejected them all.Everyone knows that if he insists on going, no one can persuade him.

Only Prime Minister Zuo Lin Zhuhui fully supported his decision from the very beginning, made all the preparations for him, scolded away all the opposing censors, and only hoped that he could repel Chaduo people.

Liang Huan knew that the ministers of the DPRK and China were right, he really didn't understand war, but he decided that the imperial conquest was not really about going to war by himself.He went there to make the [-] soldiers recognize him as the commander and to prevent civil strife in the army.The second is because he wants to take a group of people to the army.

Ye Tingshu originally had an army of [-], and [-] remained after [-] died. This is a force far greater than that of Chaduo's army.However, in actual combat, he was defeated one after another, and the reasons for this were never clearly explained to him.This matter must be ascertained before it is possible to continue fighting.

So this time he brought people from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Taipu Temple, in addition to the generals in Beijing and the people in charge of related affairs from the Ministry of War.

Because there were so many and mixed people, no one noticed that there was an unqualified head of the military department who made a statement.

Because many of the group were civil servants, they chose to travel by car.It took ten days to arrive in Yongzhou. The weather turned cold and the wind and sand were heavy.

The [-] troops were stationed in the city of Qingyang Prefecture in Yongzhou, and a group of people from Beijing were going to meet them there.At night when there were still two days to reach Qingyang, they camped by a lake.

The road is full of wilderness and mountains, and it is rare to see the lake.After Chen Zhi settled himself down, he went out to stroll along the lake.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, and the moonlight has only a shallow layer.However, Yongzhou is sparsely populated, and the lake is clear, still as bright as a mirror, and the underwater scenery can be seen clearly.

Both father and sister went to the capital, but he set foot on the land of Yongzhou again.He also knew that it was almost impossible to regain his hometown this time, the battle line had already been pushed to Qingyang Mansion, and Huaiyuan County, where his home was located, had already been in the pocket of many people for a long time.

He was looking at the calm lake water and meditating, but at some point, he suddenly noticed something moving in the water.He hurriedly went to the water's edge to check, and the moving thing seemed to be...a person.

He didn't know how to swim, so he didn't dare to rush into the lake, so he hurried back to the camp and called two guards who were warming up.Those two people jumped into the water, and sure enough, two people were fished out of the water.

Two men in their 50s and [-]s, one of them choked on water.The guard hurriedly called the doctors accompanying the army, and the two doctors tossed the two men over and over, making them spit out water, and then they worked together with the guards to carry them into the house, changed their clothes and leaned against the brazier.

There are two doctors and two guards, none of whom can make decisions, so he didn't want to disturb the officer at night, so he just guarded here by himself.

At midnight, when he was about to sleep, one of them opened his eyes.

The first thing he said was: "It turns out that the head of the underworld looks like this." He was about to get up and get down.

Chen Zhi hurriedly pushed him back on the bed, "Uncle see clearly, this is still the world. It took a lot of effort to fish you two out of the water."

Gu Hongen stared at him blankly for a while, and tears filled his eyes, sobbing to himself: "What are you doing saving us...we should have died long ago, what's the point of procrastinating..."

Chen Zhi felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he just comforted him: "Don't be sad, we are from the capital, and there are people who can make decisions here. What difficulties do you have, since we saved you, then we Might not be able to help."

"I can't help you anymore." Gu Hongen shook his head, "In that case, I won't hide it from you..." He looked at the person next to him who hadn't woken up yet, "He is the prefect of Pingliang, and I am a county magistrate below. The entire Pingliang Mansion was taken over by thieves, and the two of us fled out of fear of death, but now we find that there is nowhere to go, and it just so happens that there is a lake here..."

One of the statements was startled, "Which county is Pingliang?"

"Huaiyuan."

"...Is your surname Gu?"

"how do you know?"

Chen Zhi stood up and bowed, respectfully said: "Student Chen Zhi, I pay my respects to the county lord."

"Are you stating it?" Gu Hongen was also very surprised, and returned a half bow, "No wonder you look familiar, I heard that you were awarded a Jinshi last year, and now..."

It was several years ago that I last saw the county magistrate.The first stage of the scientific examination is sponsored by the county, and the county magistrate is the instructor of each pilot.Later, when he was mentioned in the statement, County Magistrate Gu had dinner with him, and there was no contact after that.But the magistrate of Pingliang Prefecture is new, and Chen Zhi doesn't recognize him.

He slowly recalled Gu Hongen's face, with mixed feelings in his heart, and persuaded him: "Don't worry about me. Since you escaped at that time, why bother to think about it. The fall of Pingliang is a matter of military generals, which round will get you all A prefect and a county magistrate come to seek death? Even if you want to judge the crime, you have to go to the capital to go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment, and you can’t sentence yourself to death first.”

Although he used to be Gu Hongen's student, but now Chen Zhizhi has more status than him, and he doesn't pay much attention to his words.He was also worried that this time, there was no one from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment, so there was no way to clear him of his crimes on the spot.If he were to go to the capital, he would have died countless times on the way.

"I have no face to live..." Gu Hongen sighed.

The guards of all the counties in Pingliang Mansion are under the responsibility of the Ye Family Army, and it doesn't matter to these two people if they fall.Even if they are sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, those who are responsible will be degraded, and those who are not responsible will be fine.

But they are the highest officials of the prefecture and county, and their territory is occupied by the enemy, so some people think that their death can bear the responsibility for the loss.

There is no specific person in charge here, and the prime minister who handles everything is not here, so...

Alas, forget it, I have saved everything, let's help people to the end.

"Wait a minute, I'll find someone who can make the decision." Chen Zhi said and went out, and asked the doctor outside to help watch them, don't accidentally look for death again.

It took a lot of effort for the statement to let the guards at the door go in and report. In fact, there is no need to tell such things in the middle of the night, but he is afraid that there will be too many people during the day, let alone seeing them.

Liang Huanzheng was sitting on the bed, researching how much chrysanthemum and how much water to put in chrysanthemum tea is better to drink.When he heard the notification, he only told him to come in, but he didn't get up to greet him. Instead, he put down the teapot, fell on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

The author has something to say: Liang Huan: There is nothing interesting about fighting, why do you have to go?

Statement: I am not afraid that you will die on the battlefield.
