Chapter 493 Huh? He also takes the lead?
As night falls, lanterns light up dimly on both sides of the wide streets, and strings of red lanterns are hung on the ships on the Bian River.
Since the officialdom has returned to normal, Kyoto is no longer like a powder keg, and it is burning at the drop of a hat.
Although the food from Jiangnan has not been shipped yet, there is news that the food is already being loaded and will arrive in Kyoto soon.
Seeing that life is getting better, people in Kyoto have begun to take time to go shopping and buy some snacks.
On such a quiet and peaceful night, Babaili from Yunzhou came to the rescue and gave everyone another blow.
"What? The Tatar army is gathering?"
"It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of troops this time!"
"They actually have so many people, the general can Can’t hold it?”
“The people who heard the news said that everyone in Yunzhou is under martial law and preparing for war with all their strength!”
"What did the officials say?"
The news of the emergency at the border and Gu Nanxi's family letter arrived at the Yongchang Marquis Mansion at the same time.
Su Xuanming went to Cui Sanlun all night: "Yizu, the news was delivered yesterday, but the official family has not said anything."
Cui Sanlun has been infected with wind and cold recently and has not been sick. Going to court: "You will go to court with me tomorrow."
"Yes!"
At the same time, Mr. Li Ge was also anxious at home: "What are the officials still hesitating about? The other party is coming fiercely, and they obviously have no plans to be kind!"
The officials like to hear good things, and they are getting more and more popular these days. Holding him in his arms makes him do things more decently.
Li Ge was worried that if he proposed to take the lead this time, it would cause a backlash from the officials, so after thinking about it, he went to see Taishi Tong.
Master Tong was speechless: "You are the one doing the good things, and I will take all the blame!"
Mr. Li Ge kept frowning, and there was an unspeakable anxiety in his eyes.
"I can't help it. The officials will lose their sense of proportion when they encounter Gu Nanxi's affairs. If I help Gu Nanxi speak, the officials will definitely be angry. You are different. Anyway, you are talking to the officials every day. Everyone is right!"
Tong Taishi laughed angrily: "You are coaxing the child here? He is an emperor! It is a basic quality to handle political affairs calmly! A big safety event for the week!”
Mr. Li Ge said bitterly: "Isn't he still young? The late emperor left early and didn't teach him well! We old ministers, please be more patient."
"Still young?! They are all fathers!”
"Hanzhang, not everyone can be like Gu Nanxi, who can survive for decades under adversity. We always have to see the strengths of officials, and he is already learning it!"
Mr. Li Ge tried hard to persuade him, and Taishi Tong reluctantly agreed.
In addition to Taishi Tong, Yushi Jiang, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Li were also discussing overnight how to convince the emperor when he went to court the next day!
The morning light is dim, and the sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the branches, like bits of broken silver.
Most of the officials who got up early in the morning to prepare for court had darkness under their eyes.
The officials looked at each other and understood that they were all worried about the same thing.
This border emergency is different from any previous one.
In the past, the Tatars just wanted to go south to thresh threshing grass, and then left after grabbing it, and they would not go too deep. Only the Yunzhou area suffered, and at most Shuozhou.
But this time, the Tatars have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and their footsteps will definitely not stop at Yunzhou. They may reach Henan County in the middle of the river. If they are more ruthless, they will reach Kyoto!
This is no joke!
Even if we want to negotiate peace, we must first stop the masters, so as to prevent them from opening their mouths! The hair of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was about to be pulled out. If he didn't fix it properly, he would have to lose more than ten years of state treasury income!
"This is not a trivial matter. You must not be a coward!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue warned his subordinates.
Other officials echoed: "As long as the adults suggest it, we will definitely follow!"
You definitely can't be the first person, but you can follow the crowd!
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was puzzled. Who didn’t know that the official family and Gu Nanxi regarded each other as the same as fire and water? Although the officials have repeatedly expressed their kindness to Gu Nanxi these days, no one is sure whether the officials hold grudges in their hearts!
Shangshu Hube glanced at the three people gathered together, Jiang Yushi, and felt slightly relieved. Those three people would definitely be the leaders!
After the sound of whips, hundreds of civil and military officials filed in.
The officials first picked a few innocuous topics to warm up.
It's hard to fault the official's response. Looking at it this way, he seems to be a wise king.
After these few little things were finished, the entire hall fell into a strange silence.
The officials winked at each other, but no one was willing to speak first.
Jiang Yushi took a deep breath and was about to step out of the queue when he heard the official sitting at the top speak.
"Yesterday, the Duke of Yun State sent eight hundred miles to rush, saying that the Tatar army was gathering and Yunzhou was asking for a fight. What do you think?"
Ah? ?
The official now actually takes the initiative to bring up this topic! What does he mean? Does he want to fight or not?
The officials are even more afraid to say anything. If the officials are fishing for law enforcement, wouldn't it be over?
Seeing that the officials only dared to make small moves below, and no one dared to speak, the young emperor's mouth curled up, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
The next second, the young emperor put on a sincere expression: "I am the one who leads the battle! The Tatars have repeatedly violated borders and have no faith and righteousness. We don't need to talk to them about benevolence and righteousness!"< br>
Huh?
Real or fake?
Wasn’t it always the case in the past that you would oppose anything that Duke Yun supported?
You really don’t object this time?
A trace of suspicion flashed in Jiang Yushi's eyes, but he still stood up and said: "This time the Tatar army has hundreds of thousands. Even if the general is brave and unparalleled, he cannot resist the Tatars with the power of a state! I It is suggested that this time we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, should mobilize the strength of the whole country to fight against the enemy together!"
Hiss!
Many civil servants gasped and looked at Jiang Yushi as if they were looking at a dead person.
It would be great if the Holy One could agree to the war, but you actually dare to take money from his pocket!
The Holy Spirit wants to build a stargazing tower, but he doesn’t want to use private funds. He wants to use public funds!
However, something that shocked the civil and military officials happened again.
The young emperor said loudly: "This is natural! At this time of life and death, how can we only rely on Yun Guogong?!"
After saying that, the young emperor asked the generals to recommend themselves. Who is willing? Lead troops to support Yunzhou?
"Facing such a large army offensive, Yunzhou's city walls alone cannot stop it. Yun Guogong will definitely choose to go out of the city to fight."
"Looking at the entire north, it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people for a decisive battle. There are only big grasses south of Youyun Sixteen States Original. So the decisive battle should be there!"
"My request to you is very simple, take reinforcements and defend the seven towns of Yunzhou!"
The military attaches thought for a while, this mission. It's really easy.
Prince Yun is leading the army in front, and only a small group of sneak attack troops can cross the battlefield!
There are not many enemies and the city walls are high. It is not difficult to defend the Seven Towns!
In order to dispel the concerns of the military attachés, the young emperor added: "All grain and grass logistics will be transported from the states to Kyoto first, and we will inspect them before sending them to Yunzhou!"
Holy shit!
The civil and military officials looked at the young emperor with admiration. Officials are good at it, and they can resist things at critical times!
