Chapter 268 Sleepy Dragon!
The smoke and dust were rolling, and the sound of horse hooves was broken. As soon as the knight in red armor jumped out of the teleportation point, he quickly put on the fast-moving vest, and the people and horses rose up and rushed straight to the Zhenghua Gate of Bianjing!
"One hundred thousand is urgent, the chicken feathers are in a hurry, the blocker will be killed without mercy!"
He rushed into the inner city and the imperial city. Long Xiangwei, who was responsible for guarding the imperial city, was a little slower, and was beaten to the ground by a horse whip by the knight. "So quickly report to the prince. The military situation in front is urgent, and our army is defeated and trapped!"
Long Xiangwei, whose blood mark was drawn on his face, was about to draw his weapons, but he immediately became angry after hearing this. He saw the horse's hairpin above the head of the knight, half a foot high, two steel whips and slanted on his shoulders, and he shivered with a chill.
"It's the young master of Huyan's family! Immediately call the corner! Notify the brothers guarding behind, don't talk nonsense, just let go, and say something more, it's worth it if you're chopped down!"
Looking at the red rabbit rouge beast wrapped in flying vests wrapped in four hooves and rushed into the imperial city like lightning, the Long Xiangwei remembered what Mr. Hu Yan had just said.
"The military situation ahead is urgent, my army is defeated!"
What's going on?
Yesterday, there were still many good news ahead, saying that our army was trapped in Youzhou and had retreated to the five reinforcements of the Demon Kingdom in the North. They could take down Youzhou soon and release the northern grasslands. Just one day passed, and it turned into a critical military situation?
There are a total of 500,000 troops on the front line of Youyun, who are more than half of the elite troops of Da Gen! If this is broken, I will be in danger...
Two quarters of an hour later, the "scud legs" of the Eunuch and Long Xiangwei ran all over the city. All the senior officials from the second rank and above received news that the court meeting would be held again, and even Bao Zheng, the Kaifeng Prefecture main hall was no exception.
The Constitutional Secretary of the court held the law and did not usually involve major military and political affairs. Now even he was named to the court, which shows how critical the situation is.
Bao Zheng sighed after receiving the news. As he expected, the government would inevitably make a quick move for personal use. Once the Northern Demon Kingdom launches a war of defense, the defeat will only be in an instant. However, the Zhao government family will be defeated. What are the soldiers on the front line?
Zhan Zhao doesn't have to rush to marry the little jade rat from Xiankong Island. The country's crisis is his best excuse, but Zhan Zhao, who came to Ju'an Xiaozhu after receiving the news, looked worried. It can be seen that the old cat really agreed with Dagen and regarded this place as his home.
"grown ups....."
Zhan Zhao hesitated and said, "I wonder if Zhan may volunteer to go to the front line of the northern country to fulfill his loyalty to the country?"
Bao Zheng glared at him: "What are you thinking?
If the front line is defeated, those who are interested will take advantage of the situation. Do you think there is no manpower arrangement for the Northern Demon Kingdom in Bianjing?
Just want you to stabilize your side and kill demons. The front line is the military’s business, what does it have to do with you?
I will enter the court now. You can go back to Kaifeng Prefecture and start with Mr. Gongsun to arrange everything to investigate whether there are any demons who take the opportunity to cause trouble in Bianjing and the demons in the northern country. Why don’t you leave?
Golden cicada, open the door!”
"Immortal Master, there is also one standing at the door..."
As soon as Liu Jinchan opened the yard door, she saw Lin Feng standing in front of the door with a vicissitudes of life. She probably wanted to knock on the door and had concerns, so she simply waited foolishly.
"Mr. The military situation on the front line is urgent. It is the time for a good man to make achievements. I would like to support him and let Lin Feng go to the front line of the North Country to show his regret."
Bao Zheng glanced at him: "You, let you assist Yan Chasan on Sichuan Road. You can tell that he divided the fields and the people, and he didn't know how many local powerful people would offend. Even if he was a disciple of this official, it would be difficult to protect him and no one would attack him secretly.
You are so good, the news is very informative. You arrived in Bianjing just two quarters of an hour after Mr. Huyan’s military newspaper. Even if you borrow the teleportation array, there is absolutely no such quick reason.
Say, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Feng lowered his head and said, "Two days ago, my father-in-law died of illness. The lower official took a leave of absence and returned to Beijing. It just so happened that there was a disciple of the lower official in Longxiangwei who was on the imperial city today..."
"My father-in-law is new. If you don't comfort your wife at home, you have to go to the front line to fight. Are you not afraid that your wife will be dissatisfied with you?"
"My wife said, if a real man cannot fully express his gratitude, what is the difference between a piece of bacon? My wife supports me, so please be kind..."
"Okay, it seems that you are loyal and loyal... well, just wait for my news in Ju'an Xiaozhu."
Bao Zheng shook his head. He could understand Lin Feng's mood. He was a second-grade martial arts master. He had never been able to become the military because of his ancestors' small mistakes. He could only be a 800,000 imperial guards in charge.
Now that the military situation on the front line is urgent, all the officials in the court are afraid that they will be red from the eyes. Some are loyal ministers who are really worried about the officials, and some are planning for their own selfish interests. They probably want the officials to die in the northern country so as to support the new king, and they all become ministers who follow the dragon...
The bigger the official position, the less thoughtful the outside world will be. How many real gentlemen are there in the Dagen court?
Send troops to help the officials?
Bao Zheng doesn't think Dagen can send troops in the short term.
All dynasties have always been guarding the inside but not the outside, and they all understood the principle of "the internal must be settled first when fighting the foreign countries". The military system of Dagen was nominally dominated by the Privy Councilor, but in fact it was divided into three major factions: the imperial guards, the wing army and the border army.
The emperor actually directly controlled the 800,000 most elite imperial guards, including the north, south and west. There were permanent border troops stationed in various places. The famous Hu family generals, Yang family generals, Gao family generals, and Pan family generals were all representatives of the border army. This time, the Zhao official family was able to send troops to the north despite the opposition. It was because they received the support of the three border troops of Hu, Gao and Pan.
In addition, the wing troops in various places have low combat power and serious impersonation and payroll, but the court still relies on them to stabilize the place and gradually the slaughter of the border troops in various places with strong military power. The court used it and relied on the imperial guards to suppress it.
Zhao Heng took away 300,000 elite imperial guards during this Northern Expedition. If he was mobilizing the imperial guards to relax his aid, who would suppress the troops in various places? If someone took the opportunity to cause trouble, the world of Dagen will be in danger.
Therefore, it is impossible to mobilize the imperial guards. The border troops in various places have garrison tasks, and they are still asking for more troops, but they cannot be mobilized. Could it be that those local wing troops who are powerless in fighting and are more active than anyone else in the fight?
Not to mention that the prince is unstable now, he doesn't know whether he really wants to save him. Even a filial son is probably not enough to be adjusted. To be honest, Bao Zheng even felt a headache for him.
"In any case, Dagen cannot be in chaos. The Zhao official family can be defeated or even died. These 500,000 elite soldiers are the family of the human race and the support of the human race royal court. This time I cannot stop it."
Bao Zheng sighed secretly. He came from the modern blue star, so he was naturally not a fool like Lin Chong. In his eyes, loyalty to the emperor and the country was the stupidest behavior. So when he swore to Zhao Laoda and Zhao Laoer, he just said he was loyal to this land and the people on this land.
However, the Legal Avenue must first establish itself in the court, and he still cannot watch the human royal court collapse. This is a matter of his own interests.
I can't say that I'm going to help the Zhao family again this time...
Bao Zheng remembered that the two Martial Saints emperors in the Buddha Bone Tower had something to do. Something happened to his children and grandchildren. I didn’t see how anxious these two were? I was afraid that most of them would hope that the world would be in chaos so that they could clean up the old mountains and rivers again. If they couldn’t take it, they would make another breakthrough because of this?
When you reach the realm of the True Immortal Martial Saint, you really treat sentient beings like ants, and I am afraid that even their bloodlines will be no exception.
What's more, after experiencing a large army to conquer Qingcheng, Emei, Bao Zheng is also very aware of the combat power of this fairy tale world. Even the true immortal martial saint can only compete with tens of thousands of troops with his own strength. But even if you can compete with the 100,000 military formation, then what about 200,000? What about 500,000?
Even if the two martial saints of Dagen are willing to take action, they will be at risk of being defeated in the face of the true demons of the North and hundreds of thousands of troops!
......
Before he could enter the Golden Hall, Bao Zheng actually heard the quarrels in the hall. The temporary court meeting was this virtue. The military situation in the front was in critical condition. The ministers arrived early and late. They couldn't wait for everyone to arrive and began to discuss the military situation on the front line. In addition, they were the prince's supervisor. How could these old ministers take a child who was still stinky?
For their own interests, we naturally have to open our arms and fight.
When the little yellow gate saw Bao Zheng coming, he opened his throat and shouted: "Quanzhi of Kaifeng Prefecture, Bao Zheng Bao Wen, the first-class majestic Marquis Bao Wen entered the hall!" Then he hung his head and continued to act deaf and dumb. They have seen such scenes for a long time, and they have long been used to it.
Bao Zheng walked into the Golden Palace and saw a young general standing in a corner of the hall, with his eyes staring like a copper bell, and he was looking at the quarrels with murderous eyes. Seeing his posture, fortunately, weapons are not allowed to be carried in the Golden Palace, otherwise he would have drawn his sword and chopped people long ago.
Young people just couldn't hold back their anger. Among the Huyan family's children, Huyanqing is the most famous. Although Bao Zheng did not take charge of military affairs, he also recognized it. It is said that this kid got the top martial arts scholar at the age of sixteen and beat Pang Bao, who was referring to the same period. From then on, the Huyan family and the Pang family have formed a grudge.
The old lady of Tianbo Mansion warned Hu Yanqing with her eyes and bowed to Bao Zheng and said, "It's good that Marquis of Weiwu is here. Now the court has been arguing about sending troops. We are about to hear what Hou said."
Hearing the old lady's words, the court's controversy suddenly became quiet and looked at Bao Zheng; the prince Zhao Mian was leaning listlessly against the dragon throne, but he actually straightened his body.
Bao Zheng was slightly stunned and instantly understood that this was the huge impact of the case of the Old Dragon of Jinghe. Nowadays, ordinary people may not know much, but all the officials in the court knew that the youngest first-class sect leader in Dagen history went to the demon country in person and killed the demon saint. Although he received the help of the demon emperor, he probably did not rely on his own skills, and he also killed a demon saint!
Since the establishment of Kaifeng Prefecture, although Dagen has claimed to kill demons and eliminate demons and suppress national destiny, when has a demon saint been killed?
Although Bao Zheng is only a second-rank official now, he already has the right to speak in the minds of the ministers.
Bao Zheng smiled and first participated in the prince of the regent, saying, "When I walked into the Golden Palace just now, I heard the quarrels between the masters and the ruthlessness. Do you dare to fight for the sake of sending troops?"
Grand Master Pang secretly gave the prince a wink, and the prince nodded and said, "What Bao Qing said is exactly, the father is trapped now, and the army is in danger. Gu originally wanted to send troops, but his beloved ministers have different opinions. Gu is the prince of the governor. Although he is worried about his father, he dare not neglect the state affairs, and it is difficult to decide for a while.
Bao Qing is my pillar of the great Gen, can he relieve his worries for the lonely?"
Bao Zheng smiled.
Sure enough, with the old tactic Pang as the dog-headed military advisor, the prince was much smarter.
To be honest, who is the prince is not in a hurry to die?
Not to mention that Dagen is almost without any troops to adjust now, even if the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, I am afraid that this prince may not want to send troops. What is the point of being the prince of the country? How can he be the emperor directly?
I am afraid that most of these ministers who oppose sending troops are hidden deep princes, waiting to change the dynasty by the demon kingdom.
"Haha, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, all the same courts, now that the government is trapped, reinforcements must be issued. I think there is no need to dispute this, otherwise I will suspect that some people are hoping that the government will die and will be responsible for the Constitutional Department!"
Bao Zheng smiled and glanced at Chen Yuting, the new Minister of Revenue who was still arguing with Kou Zhun, who was the second-ranked Jinshi in Kang Cheng in the third year, but because he was a fellow townsman of Taishi Pang, his promotion was as fast as the Rockets.
In just thirteen years, he went from an eighth-rank county magistrate to a minister of the Ministry of Revenue and a first-rank senior official. Speaking of which, Chen Yuting would have to thank himself. If he had not investigated and dealt with the case of the Restoration Society, he would not have had this opportunity.
"Just just now, I seemed to hear that Shangshu Chen was opposed to sending troops?"
Chen Yuting suddenly felt chilled and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The man in front of him is a cruel person. In the case of the Reforge Club, there are nearly ten first- and second-rank officials involved, and even more than the third-rank ones. The mighty man's hands are covered with the blood of the ministers in the court.
And he was really wronged. He just took office and was able to argue with Kou Zhun, an old spoiler? It wasn't his mentor's secret explanation that he wanted to try to delay the dispatch of troops...
Grandma, Da Gen's official system is inexplicable. The Minister of War was clearly the same as him as the sixth minister, but no one would ask him about his opinion on sending troops. Who made the Ministry of War a decoration, and the one who was the real mastermind?
The Privy Councilor Pan is now trapped with the official family. The Privy Council's attitude is not to be asked, and his stance is firm in sending troops and his mentor cannot control him. As a result, he is the only one who is left to withstand the thunder?
"Mr. Bao...I am an official..."
Just as Chen Yuting was about to tell the difference, Kou Zhun rushed over, but he didn't know when he took off his official boots and smacked his face with the sole of his shoe.
"I beat you to death, a treacherous minister without a king or a father! Lord Bao, what did this guy say just now?
Now that the official family is trapped, Dagen is in danger, hoping that reinforcements will be like a drought, and the pretty widow will miss your husband..."
The ministers shivered when they heard this. Madman Kou was crazy again. We have to stay away from him. When he was crazy, he loved to bite people.
Kou Zhun grabbed Chen Yuting's collar with reluctance and sprayed his saliva on the other side: "As the Minister of Revenue, he actually said that there is no military expenditure. Lord Bao, this is a good thing to others. If you tell you, you should be beheaded him on the spot!"
Chen Yuting's legs were weak, and he looked at Bao Zheng with a pale face and said, "Mr. Bao, don't listen to the gang... Heavenly official's nonsense, I am saying..."
"You want to say that Dagen investigated and punished grain transfer envoys from various places in the Fu Yao Society, and once dug out many corrupt officials. Although they received hundreds of millions of taels of silver, they did not take your hands. Instead, they were included in the army treasury by the officials. Even if there is still a surplus, you have no right to mobilize them, right?"
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Also, although Dagen has been quite peaceful over the years, he has not had much deposit. The accounts given by the Privy Council are also unbearable, right?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Bao is really a soulmate of the officials. It's not that the Ministry of Revenue has no money, it's because it's not that the money is not enough!"
In desperation, Chen Yuting even forgot that he was one rank higher than Bao Zheng, and he was called "lower-official".
Bao Zheng nodded and looked at the new deputy envoy of Privy Councilor and said, "Mr. Di, I wonder how much military expenditure the Privy Council has issued to the Ministry of Revenue?"
