I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

As for the officials who came out from the aristocratic families, none of them came out to speak.

"Quiet."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan spoke, her voice was not loud, but it made everyone feel unimaginable pressure.

General Li Lin, Minister of War Xin Shengxiang, and Minister of Rites Qin Shao immediately held the wat board and stood respectfully in the hall, waiting for the Queen Mother to continue speaking.

"Qin Shangshu, you haven't finished your sentence, have you?" Before Qin Shao could answer, the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan looked at Li Lin and Xin Shengxiang again: "What about you, let him finish his sentence first."

General Li Lin and Minister of War Xin Shengxiang held a wat board, bowed and stood aside, waiting for Qin Shao to continue speaking.

Qin Shao's heart sank, he bowed to the queen mother, and continued: "Queen mother, what I want to say is that Le Xianhou Lin Xuan was originally a remnant of the nobles of the previous dynasty, and he was freed by His Majesty's grace and was granted the title of Marquis."

"However, now that he has an army of 15 and is guarding Yanzhou, he has been able to integrate the army of refugees to such an extent that he has successively defeated King Hunyu of the Huan clan, and Jin Wuji of Chengjiang Kingdom. The defeated army alone has more than 19."

"The minister is worried that Lin Xuan will have two hearts in the future because of his previous identity. No one can guarantee this."

"..."

Qin Shao almost finished speaking in a cold sweat.

He felt unimaginable pressure in this court.

After just now, Qin Shao understood that those aristocratic families who kept saying that they wanted to kill Lin Xuan became scared after seeing Lin Xuan's record.

Another point is that Lin Xuan has made such a great military exploit, and his position will be further consolidated in the future.

For now, it's better to stop for the time being, Lin Xuan may not know that it was them who made the move.

Even if Lin Xuan wants to cause trouble in the future, it would be good to leave Qin Shao, Minister of Rites, as a target.

That being the case, Qin Shao couldn't even take a step back and brought out Lin Xuan as the big killer of the remnants of the nobles of the previous dynasty. I hope the Queen Mother can think twice.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan nodded, looked at General Li Lin, and Minister of War Xin Shengxiang: "You two, what do you think?"

General Li Lin held the wat board and bowed and saluted: "Back to the queen mother, the minister of the Ministry of Rites is just farting. In the storyteller's mouth, he is a treacherous minister who wants to harm Zhongliang, disaster!"

"..."

All of a sudden, hearing the words of General Li Lin, the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony burst into an uproar.

These words are too hurtful, not only to slap Qin Shao in the face, but also to speak extremely vulgar and disrespectful.

Qin Shao stood on the side, and when he heard such words, his face turned green and pale for a while, wishing to immediately draw his sword and fight with General Li Lin to protect his dignity.

However, he knew that he couldn't beat General Li Lin, so it was pointless to do so.

In any case, today's humiliation, he wrote it down.

As for General Li Lin, after speaking, he glanced at Qin Shao, and stood aside regardless of Qin Shao's feelings.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan's face still maintained the original expression, as if there was nothing more to say or do than General Li Lin's gaffe.

Li Lin retired, and Xin Shengxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward to salute: "I heard that there are good news in the country, so I must discuss how to reward them, so as to boost the morale of the army and the hearts of the people, but I haven't heard of any country that will hear the news on the front line. After winning the battle, we began to discuss how to kill the victorious general."

"If there is, then the country must be destroyed."

"..."

What Xin Shengxiang said was simple and straightforward, and even more allusive.

Those who are familiar with the history of the previous dynasty must know that there was a famous general who almost saved the Tang Dynasty in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, but because of his birth and his victorious victories, the royal family and court ministers of the Tang Dynasty felt the crisis. Worried about whether the other party will fight in the north and south, and after the vassals are put down, will they become emperor on their own.

As a result, the royal family and the imperial court united to kill the famous general, and even the family that led the famous general was wiped out.

What no one thought was that after the fall of the former great general, no one in the former Tang Dynasty could save the Quartet.

Overnight, the princes stood on their own and attacked each other, and the former dynasty embarked on the road of extinction.

Qin Shao is naturally familiar with this period of history. He pointed at Xin Shengxiang angrily, his fingers trembling with anger.

"Xin Shengxiang, you are spitting blood!"

Chapter 142 Otherwise, what do you think I want the navy to do? 6K

Xin Shengxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked so proud that he didn't even glance at Qin Shao, Minister of Rites, because he had been upset for a long time.

Since Qin Shao is going to make trouble today, it's okay to simply step on him severely.

What's more, Qin Shao really stepped on the bottom line of their generals this time, and even wanted to point fingers at the front line?

If you are making a suggestion, the military commander can readily accept it, use it if you can, and it’s okay if you can’t.

But you, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, have bad intentions and target the general? !

If Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, succeeded, who would dare to lead the army in the court in the future?

If you lose a battle, you may be killed by the enemy.

If you win a battle, you may be killed by your own people.

How ironic would this be?

In addition, at the beginning of the founding of the Dagan court, there was a tradition of appointing civil servants to serve as military commanders. The relationship between civil servants and military commanders was in some respects much more harmonious than that of the previous dynasty, Wei and Chu, and would not be tit-for-tat.

Therefore, after Qin Shao spoke like this, even if some people wanted to kill Lin Xuan, they would not speak at this time.

Rather than saying that they gave up on Qin Shao, it is better to say that Qin Shao committed suicide by himself.

Even though they would call him "Duke Qin" to show their respect when they met in private, it didn't mean that they obeyed him. Qin Shao was the leader of the great families.

Having one leader, Sima Zhao, was enough, they didn't want a second.

Everyone is a sensible person, who wants to ride one or two more on the head?

No.

That's why Xin Shengxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, said this on purpose, using the old affairs of the previous dynasty to attract the attention of the Queen Mother Li Ningyan. Although he didn't say it too clearly, Qin Shao understood it. I believe that other ministers in the court would not have understood it. , the queen mother will not fail to understand.

Well, General Li Lin didn't understand...

It seems that he is still in a state of confusion.

Because General Li Lin glared at him clearly.

At least to say that the death of the front-line coach may lead to the destruction of the country, General Li Lin understands.

"Okay, I have understood what you guys mean." Empress Dowager Li Ningyan quelled the debate, and said: "Le Xian Hou Linxuan led the Xiangzhou Army to win two consecutive victories in Yanzhou. If you have made meritorious service in expanding the territory, the Pojun Mansion will calculate the military merit and reward it on merit! The rest of the generals of the Xiangzhou Army will be rewarded together!"

"Also, Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!"

"Chen is here!"

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was startled, holding a wat board in his hand, and bowed in salute.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan didn't mention Lin Xuan's status as an aristocratic survivor of the previous dynasty at all, nor did she express any concerns, but just called him out...

He couldn't help thinking of the matter that His Majesty the Empress ordered Yang Xiu, the servant of the Ministry of officials, to be the chief secretary of the Xiangzhou Army. Could it be that he was also sent out of the Xiangzhou Army?

"Since Emperor Gaozu, there has been a tradition of civic officials serving as generals. I heard your remarks just now, and also heard what the general and the minister of the Ministry of War said. Aijia feels that there is a tendency of misunderstanding among civil servants and generals within the court. .”

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan said unhurriedly: "The Ai family feels that it is necessary to coordinate this matter to resolve such misunderstandings."

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, had cold sweat streaming down his forehead, but he still bowed and saluted: "The empress dowager is wise!"

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan waved her hand slightly: "The Ai family is just an ordinary old woman, there is nothing holy or not, but this great country belongs to His Majesty, when His Majesty is away, the Ai family will take care of it."

"The Ai family asks you, the south is the state of Chu, and the state of Chu is about to take back the land they lost in the near future. Maybe you will guard this state?"

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head: "I can't."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan nodded: "Then, can you guard a whole county here?"

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head again: "Go back to the queen mother, minister, I can't."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan pondered: "Emperor Gaozu said to those civil servants that there is always a first time, and you will know if you can do it if you bring a large army to the battlefield. However, the situation forced Emperor Gaozu back then. Force these civil servants to go to the battlefield to lead the army and guard the Quartet."

"However, the situation is different now. Aijia feels that he cannot force you."

"Aijia asks you again, there are Yu Kingdom and many small countries to the west, and Wei State, Grassland and some small countries to the north. If you don't want to go to a state of Chu State, are you willing to go to the west and north? "

In the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard.

The ministers present watched the conversation between the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan and the Minister of Rites, Qin Shao, and could tell that the Empress Dowager must relegate the Minister of Rites, Qin Shao.

The ministers of the aristocratic families who had always supported Qin Shao in the past were secretly relieved to see this scene.

What happened this time is really not to blame for their inhumanity, it is really Qin Shao who drifted away by himself.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Shao did the most to seize Xiangzhou's army food and grass.

After several times, no one expected that the Ministry of War would arrange for the newly trained Beiluo New Army to escort food and grass.

The Beiluo New Army is a new army in name, but after passing the training, it will be the Beiluo Forbidden Army under the command of His Majesty the Empress. Anyone can mess with it, except the Beiluo Forbidden Army.

Therefore, this time, the person in charge of the food and grass resolutely released the food, and even provided a little more food than usual.

It was around this time that Her Majesty the Empress did not go to court.

Things in the world will not have so many coincidences.

Those who knew said nothing, though.

Correspondingly, Qin Shao didn't know either.

Anyway, if something really happened, they also thought of a shield, such as Lord Mo Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce.

As for Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he probably didn't even notice that the wind direction had changed.

It's really self-inflicted, you can't live.

Here, many generals who were angry just now also reacted. They all watched the scene in front of them quietly, waiting for the moment when Qin Shao was relegated.

At the same time, they worshiped the queen mother Li Ningyan and the empress Ji Handan more and more, and they were full of confidence in Daqian.

With such a majesty and such a queen mother, what is there to be afraid of when going to the battlefield in the future?

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, felt his back was covered with sweat.

Holding the wat board in his hand, he bowed and replied, "I...don't know how to lead troops."

If you don't know how to lead the army, how can you do this?

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan looked at Qin Shao, her expression still unchanged.

To be honest, the queen mother is very angry today, and the good news sent by Yanzhou is so exciting and joyful to read!

However, Qin Shao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to stand up and pour cold water on her, not to mention pouring cold water on her future son-in-law Lin Xuan intentionally or unintentionally. If you don't die, who will die?

In addition, you, Qin Shao, are so targeted, it is hard to guarantee that the family that assassinated Lin Xuan before was your Qin Shao's family.

It's just that the masters sent by the royal family failed to catch the corresponding assassin and failed to wipe out the clan.

Also, isn't it the idea of ​​you aristocratic families to use the ancestral motto of "no military exploits, no marquis" to blackmail the Empress and arrange for Lin Xuan to join the Xiangzhou Army?

Are you thinking that both Lin Xuan and the 15 Xiangzhou Army will be buried in Yanzhou?

Either be destroyed by the Chengjiang country, or be destroyed by the Huan clan.

No?

These things are so obvious, do they really think they don't know?

Or, if it is true that the aristocratic families in Beiluo, the capital of the world, are all monolithic, can they call the wind and rain in the court?

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan looked at Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites indifferently: "In this case, Aijia will help you choose one."

Minister of Rites, Qin Shao's hand holding the wat board was trembling: "Queen Dowager, minister..."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan said: "Emperor Gaozu said that there is a first time for everyone, and you will know it after fighting on the battlefield. Otherwise, how would you know if you can do it?"

"There is a war at the moment, which will allow you to enter the battlefield as soon as possible. The Ai family took a look, and it is now Yanzhou."

"The Xiangzhou Army believes that you will not be willing to go. The Yanbei Army is under great pressure and needs some reinforcements. However, if you go to the Yanbei Army, Feng Wuzhi has a bad temper, so he may not be willing to accept it."

"How about this, Aijia remembers that there are a few small towns on the border of Yanzhou, if you don't want to be a state shepherd or county guard, just make a city order."

"Soldier, you can use the slaves of the Qin family. In addition to slaves, the Ai family will give you 1000 prisoners."

"The Pojun Mansion will write down this matter together, and that's it."

"Retreat!"

It seemed that it was rare to say so many words, the queen mother Li Ningyan coughed a few times after she retreated from the court.

The old eunuch Yu Jingyi immediately helped the queen mother Li Ningyan, arranged for the rotating imperial doctor to come, and sent the queen mother away in front of the courtiers.
