The morning court was still a cliché rule. The ministers called long live the mountain with loud voices, and the emperor called the ministers as calm as water. Then he officially began to discuss state affairs.

Fang Zheng quietly moved his body back, moved to a blind spot in the sight that the emperor could not see, leaned against the big pillar, and began to take a nap. Before he could finish the hangover, his head still hurts, and he was seriously lacking in sleep, which was as uncomfortable as if he had been in an Internet cafe all night in his previous life.

Fang Zheng gradually fell into a half-dream and half-awake, but the atmosphere in the court began to become warm.

Wei Chengde, Minister of War, took the lead in replying: "Report to the emperor, General Feng Qiudao, who was raiding the grasslands by the sage, returned to Beijing last night. General Feng won a great victory in this battle, defeating dozens of Turkic tribes, forcing the Turkic army to withdraw troops. The thousands of people in our China Dynasty survived the war. General Feng and all the soldiers made great contributions to the state. The old ministers believed that the emperor should reward him."

The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Wei Aiqing is right. Feng Qiudao and the 20,000 soldiers he led really live up to my expectations. I should indeed reward you for this battle."

After pondering for a moment, the emperor said, "Why would you rather be appointed as the general of the Longwu Army, and be granted Yiyong Bo, with a fief of 500 households, and command the entire Longwu army. General Fan of the former Longwu Army was transferred to the Ministry of War to serve as the Right Minister. All the soldiers who went to the expedition were rewarded according to their military merits. What do you think?"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other. The emperor's reward was a bit wrong. Although Feng Qiudao did make great contributions to the court, there is no reason to be promoted so quickly. This person was in his twenties and carried out a mission to raid the grassland. He actually became a general who commanded tens of thousands of troops. There was already a Lord Fang Zheng in front of him. Now there was another Feng Qiudao. What happened to the emperor? Could it be that the emperor has preferred to promote young ministers in recent years?

Among so many ministers, the one who can't understand the most is General Fan, the commander of the former Longwu Army. He made no mistakes and was greedy for money. He removed his military power for no reason. He felt uncomfortable if he changed him. But he couldn't object to it. After all, military power is more sensitive. A general is reluctant to let go while holding on to military power. What's your intention?

The ministers were still thinking about the emperor's words word by word. Pan Shangshu came out to report: "Your Majesty, is the old minister thinking that the reward is too heavy? It is true that General Feng made contributions, but he is still young after all, how can he hold the power of tens of thousands of soldiers? Besides, just leading the army to the grassland to kill a few unarmed old, weak, women and children, this... cannot be considered too great a merit, right? If another general can do it, the old minister thought that it is acceptable to be awarded titles, and it is not necessary to give the general the position. There are also those soldiers who went to war, which can be awarded according to their normal military merits. It seems a bit of a big deal to give the reward to the emperor. "

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and fell into thinking. Military power is no better than anything else. For the emperor, it is both a sharp spear and a spike that is stuck in his heart. Therefore, the topic of military power has always been taboo to talk about in the court. What Pan Shangshu said was also a vague reminder to the emperor that it is best not to hand over military power to such a young general. Compared with qualifications and loyalty, Feng Qiudao is far inferior to General Fan, who has been in charge of the Dragon Martial Army for more than ten years.

The ministers also began to whisper and whisper. I am afraid that only Old Shangshu Pan is qualified to talk about this sensitive topic with the emperor several times.

Of course, except for those young young men who are just starting out.

There happened to be one of the young masters. This person is Master Fang.

Speaking of which, Master Fang was sleeping comfortably, but he could hear "Turkish" and "Feng Qiudao" in his ears. Fang Zheng woke up immediately. For nothing else, Feng Qiudao is his friend, and he should care about it. Since the time traveled through time, Fang Zheng has only made two friends, one is a fat man, and the other is Feng Qiudao. Fang Zheng has always been heart-wrenching towards his friends.

As a result, after he heard what Pan Shangshu said, his nose was almost irritated. This old bastard was probably in conflict with this young master. Since he beat Pan Shangshu's son last time, the two of them have disliked each other, and this time he has plotted against Feng Qiudao again.

Master Fang was unhappy and his stubbornness turned off. Seeing the ministers whispering to each other, no one stood up and said a few words to Feng Qiudao. Even Wei Chengde, who is famous for his integrity, stroked his beard and closed his eyes without saying anything. Fang Zheng snorted coldly, "You old people don't say anything, I will say it!"

Fang Zheng may hesitate for whom he went to the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire, but if he didn't even dare to say a few words to his friend, Fang Zheng himself felt unfaithful. Besides, how hard the battle Feng Qiudao led his army to fight was and how much sacrifice it cost, others didn't know, but Fang Zheng knew clearly how could he allow irrelevant people to steal the reward Feng Qiudao should have received in order to fight for power and profit?

Seeing that the emperor was speechless, as if he was a little moved by what Mr. Pan said, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be anxious. He couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the emperor opened his golden mouth, it would be difficult to change it again.

"Report to the emperor, I have something to say." Fang Zheng had already started speaking before he even stood up. Although the voice was not loud, he was like a thunderclap in the court. The ministers looked around and wanted to find the master who spoke.

Unfortunately, Fang Zheng's grade was too low and he was ranked at the last position. If he wanted to leave the shift, he had to squeeze out a way from the two rows of ministers in the front two rows of shifts. Therefore, after the emperor and the ministers heard this person talking, they had not seen the adult who had something to say standing up for a long time.

"Which love is talking just now? Why are you so unruly?" The emperor was impatient after waiting for a long time, and couldn't help but scold him with a calm face.

Fang Zheng was even more anxious when he heard this, so he had to respond loudly: "Your Majesty, it's me, it's me! I'mhere!" In a hurry, even English popped out.

Then Fang Zheng walked forward and shouted, "Hey, sir, let me go, let me speak, can I give it to Takashi'er?" The scene was as embarrassing as if I had squeezed into a bus in my previous life.

After finally squeezing out, his forehead was sweating. Fang Zheng walked forward a few steps and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's me, uh, no, it's a good minister. I have something to say."

As he said that, he pointed to the position of his standing shift: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, that's what, I've squeezed a little..."

The emperor glared at Fang Zheng fiercely and said angrily: "I know, just say anything Fang Aiqing has."

Fang Zheng coughed clearly and said seriously: "I think what Mr. Pan said just now is a big mistake!"

When Mr. Pan saw Fang Zheng coming out, he knew that this guy must have nothing good to say. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Oh, I would like to hear that Lord Fang is very proud."

Fang Zheng said: "Shangshu Pan said that General Feng is too young to be in charge of the Longwu Army. I don't agree with this. Why can't he be in charge of the Longwu Army at a young age? Who stipulates that the general who leads troops must be older? Can't I find a young handsome man to stand alone? As the saying goes, "Ambition is not about being old, but without ambition is a hundred years old." Does a person have the ability to lead troops, can he convince the public, and whether he is loyal to the emperor? Does this have anything to do with age?"

"Also, Shangshu Pan said that General Feng led his army into the grassland just to kill a few unarmed elderly, weak, women and children, which is not a great contribution. I don't agree with this sentence. I want to ask all my colleagues in the court, do you know how many people were left when General Feng led 20,000 elite cavalry to raid the grassland this time? Do you know? There are more than 6,000 people left when he came back! In other words, there are 14,000 passionate men in my Huachao died in battle on the grassland. Shangshu Pan, there is some love.

Besides, if you don’t understand, the official advises you not to make random conclusions. Unarmed old, weak, women and children? Hum! Joke! The Turks are so powerful that even the elderly, weak, women and children are good at riding and shooting. The more than 10,000 people killed in our army are proof of iron and firmness! This shows how huge the General Feng and the soldiers led by him paid to complete the raid mission. If this is not a great contribution, it is better to ask Shangshu Pan to make a greater contribution to me, Hua Chao, how about it?"

Pan Shangshu sneered: "Hmph, how could you know that General Feng was not inappropriate command on the battlefield, which led to heavy casualties among the soldiers?"

Fang Zheng said furiously: "Then go and try commanding? Do you think the Turks are all made of mud, and they will be broken when they touch them? Don't you know that the Turks are all soldiers, even if they are old, weak, women and children, they are much stronger than the soldiers of our Huachao? How many times have our Huachao fought with the Turks in more than a hundred years? This time, General Feng led his army to raid. Although there were heavy casualties, he won after all. Such a great contribution should have been rewarded. But what is your intention? Such actions will make our Huachao soldiers feel disheartened to the court and make the soldiers who died in the grassland die with their eyes open? How should the emperor deal with themselves when facing the remains of these soldiers? Wouldn't you betray the emperor's ruthlessness and ruthlessness?"

I licked my dry lips, why is there no tea service in the court?

Fang Zheng looked around and saw almost everyone in the court looking at him in amazement. The emperor stroked his beard with interest and waited for him to continue talking. However, Pan Shangshu was so angry that his face turned pale and his lips and beard were trembling. If he had a fire, he would probably die suddenly on the spot.

Fang Zheng suddenly realized, did you offend people too harshly? This does not conform to my principle of being a low-key person.

When he looked at Pan Shangshu's resentful eyes, Fang Zheng's scalp was numb. As for, it was just different political views. It was like my young master digging his ancestral tomb. This old man was too narrow-minded and would definitely not live long...

After thinking about it, I have offended so thoroughly anyway, so I will just say a few more words. If I can make him angry to death, wouldn’t my buddy save a lot of trouble in the future?

So Fang Zheng continued: "Before I entered the dynasty, I heard that when the Turkic army invaded our Hua Dynasty, Shangshu Pan strongly advocated peace with the Turkic, and said that the Turkic army was invincible and unstoppable. He advised the emperor to make a long life with aggrieved and seek fullness. Humph, Shangshu Pan had a good plan! If the Turkic destroyed our Hua Dynasty, Shangshu Pan advised the emperor to give up resistance, and was naturally a great hero in the heart of the Turkic people. If the Turkic retreated, this was the contribution of the peace between the Secretary Pan and the Secretary Pan, and naturally a great hero in the heart of the Emperor. Nowadays, there are not many things to please both sides. Shangshu Pan knew the current affairs. When the Turkic came, he was afraid of it like a tiger, and after the Turkic defeat, he despised it as a soil. Pan was so versatile as an official, which was actually a blessing for our Hua Dynasty, haha."

After looking around, Fang Zheng licked his dry lips again, and he really wanted to drink water...
