Chapter 229 (1/2)

Now in the hall

Since Zhang Zhen led the Zuo Shence army to smash the fengjiang River in Bozhou and completely annihilate the anti thief reinforcements in Caozhou half a month ago, no piece of paper news has been introduced into Beijing.

On the contrary, bad news spread in Chang'an city. The thief army gathered 200000 people to attack wulaoguan, the East portal of Gyeonggi road. The memorial of Dongdu's emergency will be discussed in the court every day.

Many ministers proposed to send the right Shence army to the east capital to support Luoyang.

When the news came to the army, many young people were looking for relationships to leave the military, or simply left the camp and fled far away from the pass. Let them bully the good and dominate the market. They are good at it, but let them fight. That's a big joke.

After the emperor and his officials knew it, they really knew what the right Shence army had become corrupt. This was worse than the emperor had expected. At least Zhang Zhenke had told him that the right Shence army was only defensible and could not withstand field operations.

Unexpectedly, the situation exposed by the crisis, these right Shence army can't even defend! How can we expect them to guard Chang'an and the Forbidden City!

This incident alone made the emperor seriously ill. He had not been in the early Dynasty for many days. Until today, he just forced his body to go to the early Dynasty in order to reduce the fear of the courtiers.

Some trivial matters were handled by the prime minister. The Emperor didn't say a word, his eyes closed slightly, and he looked noncommittal.

After the trivial matters were discussed, the ministers were speechless and quietly looked at the emperor.

The emperor then slowly opened his eyes and began to look at the common people like a sleeping dragon.

”It's all over?”

The prime minister replied instead of the ministers: ”Your Majesty, the discussion of government affairs has basically ended.”

”So...” the emperor sat up straight and looked at the civil and military bureaucrats below jokingly, ”might as well discuss the matter in the east?”

All the civil and military in the court bowed their heads, and no one dared to make a speech.

At this time, the ministers did not speak, so the prime minister representing the bureaucrat had to speak.

He hardened his head and bowed: ”Your Majesty, Gyeonggi road is dangerous. The old minister thought that the urgent task should first solve the danger of Dongdu, and then find a way to send Deli scouts to Xuzhou to find out the military situation.”

The emperor looked at the old Prime Minister. In order to better control power, the prime minister today is just a microphone promoted by him. On weekdays, he only needs to be responsible for conveying the will of his majesty and dealing with some trivial things in the court, without too many self political opinions and thoughts.

Therefore, this remark can also be said to be nonsense and did not touch the core of the problem.

To solve the difficulties of the eastern capital, how to solve them and who should be sent to solve them are the real core problems.

”What's the prime minister's idea?”

After hearing this, the old Prime Minister bowed lower, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He can get to his present position, even if he is only the mouthpiece of the emperor, it is by no means what a mediocre can do.

How he didn't know the plan, but he didn't dare to say! As a microphone, if you have your own ideas and political opinions, you won't be far away.

Moreover, in recent years, he has been in a high position. In order to compete for the favor of the emperor, he has done many things to harm loyal and good people and abuse power for personal gain. If you leave office in old age and are protected by the emperor Enron, you are not afraid of being plotted against after losing power.

However, if he was forced to leave his post and lost the emperor Enron, it is difficult to ensure that no one would take this opportunity to throw him into prison for his past crimes, become a poor political loser and suffer the whole family.

”The old minister is incompetent and doesn't know military affairs. It depends on the opinions of the Ministry of war.” Directly threw the pot at the Minister of war.

At this moment, the emperor felt depressed. He found it interesting to tease the officials like this. But now, relying on the sword to stabilize the world, he has no news, which makes him anxious.
