Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1738 Xue Yantuo Kou Bian
As long as the charges against the Jiangnan gentry are solid and the evidence is solid, even if the Guanlong Group wants to support the court, it will not be able to do so.Without the help of the Guanlong Group and Shandong Haoqiang, the Jiangnan gentry were like playthings under Fang Jun's hands and let him be rounded and flattened. In the past, the Jiangnan gentry suffered from Fang Jun's side, which has already proved that Fang Jun is a stick. , is also a good hand...

Dou Dan rolled his eyes, glared at Yang Xu and said, "You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, Fang Jun naturally won't touch your Hongnong Yang family, but we have a deep grudge against him, who knows if this stick will come out? Crazy? Our property in Jiangnan, but no one has a lot of it!"

Yang Xu said helplessly: "Do you think that someone is talking sarcasticly? Anyway, that's all there is to say, whether you like it or not."

He was a little annoyed.

His father belonged to the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Xiong, the "King of View", who was deeply trusted and respected by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. In the eighth year of his great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo. Yang Xiong accompanied the army and died of illness.

The Hongnong Yang family gradually withered after entering the Tang Dynasty. His nephew Yang Sixuan is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Another nephew Yang Sijing married the daughter of the great ancestor, Princess Anping. Princess Guiyang, in the early years of Zhenguan, she was appointed as Taichangqing and servant, with a bright future.It's a pity that first, his son Yang Yuzhi had an affair with his aunt, Princess Fangling, and was lynched and killed by his uncle Dou Fengjie. Then his wife and his ex-husband's son, Zhao Jie, participated in the "Queue Case" in Lishan Bieyuan, which angered His Majesty Li Er. Thunder was furious, and it was thrown away, and it was no longer reused.

However, what Dou Dan said about Fang Jundong would not touch the Hongnong Yang family, but it has nothing to do with the Yang family's power, but because Yang Xu's uncle, Yang Da, had a daughter who married the Guoguo Duke warrior Xun, and then gave birth to him A girl named Wu Meiniang became Fang Jun's concubine...

Anyone in Guanzhong, who doesn't know that Fang Jun pampers this concubine too much, and entrusts him to manage and control all the property in the family. He is called a concubine, but he is actually his wife?

But even so, Yang's purpose is still to get close to the Guanlong Group, and he didn't flirt with Fang Jun because of his closer relationship.At this moment, Dou Dan, a foolish person, sarcastically made Yang Xu very dissatisfied, and naturally he was a little annoyed.

For the sake of you, I went on to remind you, but in the end I became a donkey with good intentions...

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to dissuade him: "Brother Yang, why bother? Our guards rely on our help, and we should work together as one. Don't let your loved ones hurt your enemies because of a few inappropriate words. "

He also felt tired.

The current court situation is turbulent and cloudy. As His Majesty Li Er no longer trusts him, even the entire Guanlong Group seems to be marginalized, and it is no longer the mainstay of the past that can influence the court situation.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to appease the Jingzhao family and the Hedong wealthy family. The Guanlong Group must not be disintegrated. Only when everyone gathers together to keep warm can they compete with the rising Shandong wealthy and poor students, otherwise they will gradually be thrown into idleness. Dispersed, snatching away some of the privileges that belonged to them.

However, where there are interests, there will be struggles. The Guanlong Group has its own ideas and plans. It is not easy to unite them tightly?
Yang Xu didn't express any clear words of comfort to Changsun Wuji, he just nodded slowly, his eyes wandering...

"Dangdang" There was a knock on the door.

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Come in."

An old steward pushed open the door and entered. He first apologized to everyone, and then said: "Patriarch, the report of the Northern Xinjiang battle has just arrived at the Ministry of War, and Guo Fushan, the servant of the Ministry of War, handed it into the palace."

Several people tensed up and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

The old steward shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Changsun Wuji was silent.

Once upon a time, the Guanlong Group controlled almost five or six out of ten of the Tang army's upper echelons, and the imperial military was under control. However, now they can't even know the content of a battle report from Northern Xinjiang. It can be seen that the Guanlong Group is in the army. How weak is its influence.

If some measures are not taken, I am afraid that the Guanlong Group, which used to be the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, will disappear...

Just as he was feeling emotional, he heard another noise outside the door. A servant quickly stepped inside and saluted: "Your Majesty has a decree to call the head of the family into the palace to discuss the war."

Several people in the room were suddenly moved. This is about to break out a big war...

*****
His Majesty Li Er moved to the Hall of Liangyi and called all the ministers to discuss matters.

Li Ji, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Li Daliang, Changsun Wuji and other civil and military ministers entered the hall one after another, and when they sat down, they saw a copied battle report on the table in front of them. .

Entering October, Xue Yantuo crossed the desert with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from Tongluo, Pugu, Huihe, Mohe, and Yu, stationed in Baidaochuan, and could go south with his whip to invade Shuozhou at any time!
The military situation is urgent, and the situation is like fire and water.

It's just that after carefully reading the battle report, everyone in the palace focused their eyes on the strong young figure...

All of you here are important officials of the imperial court, and everyone has some information connections in the imperial palace. The story that just happened in the imperial palace has already been passed on to the ears of individuals. For Fang Jun, the most popular person in the dynasty, everyone has mixed feelings In my heart, I can't tell what the impression is.

But there is always one thing, admiration is certain.

Regardless of other things, just being able to make the emperor fly into a rage every now and then, as if he was fine afterward, has to be admired from the bottom of his heart.

If someone else had provoked the emperor so much, it would no longer be a question of whether to lose his official position. I am afraid that he would have been flogged to death by the emperor...

His Majesty Li Er looked around for a week, and finally looked at Fang Jun, who was very obedient and obedient with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Beijiang Zhanbao, Fang Jun, as Minister of the Ministry of War, tell me, how do you deal with it?"

Although Fang Jun was pardoned for the death crime just now, he was unable to escape the crime of living. His Majesty Li Er issued an order to flog him fifty times.Even so, after more than a dozen lashes, his hips and back were on fire...

Hearing the words at this moment, I moved my body a little bit, grinned my teeth in pain, and said: "Your Majesty, along with the battle report, there is also a secret letter sent by the Ministry of War to Xue Yantuo's internal work. Soon, the regent of Goguryeo, Damo Lizhiyuan Gaisuwen, sent his eldest son, Yuan boy, to various tribes of Xueyantuo. It can be seen that Goguryeo promised some interests, and the two sides colluded with each other in an attempt to delay our plan of the Great Tang Expedition."

Everyone was stunned, no wonder the news of the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo has been rampant in the past two years, and the army was mobilized to collect food. Even the common people know that Goguryeo has never moved. Trick...

In fact, this trick is quite useful.

Some of Datang’s elite troops had just returned from suppressing the rebellion in the Western Regions, and their morale was low. Some were in Yizhou, Qianzhou and other places to guard against the rebellion.

Xue Yantuo invaded the country at this point in time, and the troops in Shuozhou were weak. The only way to mobilize those who had just gone west to suppress the rebellion was to move over, and the combat power would inevitably be reduced.

Only by gathering the strength of the whole country to resist Xue Yantuo's invasion, otherwise the whole area of ​​Shuofang will be trampled by Xue Yantuo's horseshoes, which is absolutely unacceptable to Tang Dynasty.

In this way, Goguryeo can naturally relieve the pressure and breathe a sigh of relief, and even the thunderous Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty will suffer changes because of this.

I have to say that Goguryeo's trick of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" is indeed very clever.

It seems that the stick is not all a single tendon...

In any case, Datang must not sit idly by and ignore Xue Yantuo.Baidaochuan is next to Shuozhou, which is the gateway to the northwest and the key to the north. Once Xue Yantuo's cavalry breaks through Shuozhou and drives straight in, the endless plains in the Hetao area will suffer.

In history, the Huns and Turks entered the Central Plains from here countless times, burning, killing and looting, which made the Central Plains Dynasty turbulent and the people suffered heavy casualties...

His Majesty Li Er's face was calm, and he didn't show much anger. He looked around at the ministers and said indifferently: "What do you think should be done?"

The Ministry of War can be in charge of the construction and distribution of weapons, as well as the promotion and promotion of officers and the deployment of troops, but no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to have too much say and decision-making power in the military affairs of such a super battle.

No matter how big the Ministry of National Defense is, it is no bigger than the Military Commission...
