Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 959 I really can’t sympathize
The emperor's intention was naturally to send Lu Baichuan, Qin Jian and some experienced old generals there. Let the experienced old generals be the commander-in-chief and Lu Baichuan be the deputy commander-in-chief. They would join forces and beat Dongting to tears, so that stability would be achieved. how many years.

But people in the court were not unanimous, and many people were dissatisfied. As soon as the emperor mentioned this matter, many people stood up to oppose it.

There were many reasons for opposition, saying that Lu Baichuan had no experience in leading a team and should not take risks.

He said that the old general was old and should take care of himself and not be so tired.

He also said that the emperor's partial favoring of Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian was a sign of the country's demise.

Yan Guan was like a mad dog in the court, not afraid of anything and biting anyone he saw. Anyway, Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian were the ones bitten the most.

This war had been expected for a long time, and the emperor had already decided on the manpower to send out, so he nervously asked Qin Jian to get married as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time to go to the border.

As a result, these officials stood up to stop it and said such treasonous words.

"Your Majesty, I do not deny General Lu's ability and merits, but General Lu is young and has relatively few qualifications. He cannot joke with the lives of tens of millions of soldiers!"

"This matter needs long-term consideration. We Beiyan don't only have these two generals. The emperor always gives other generals the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"

"Your Majesty, in the court, you must not favor one over the other. This will chill the hearts of other generals!"

……

These officials were very good at sowing dissension with their clever words. The military generals who had not originally had this idea were also incited and felt that the emperor was indeed too partial. They were also generals. Why were the opportunities for meritorious service only given to the Lu family?

The Lu family has made so many achievements now, why can't they give the opportunity to others?
Everyone feels that this negotiation has greatly frustrated Dongting. Even if a war breaks out, Dongting will not be Bei Yan's opponent. Who doesn't want such a great military achievement?
At first, only the civil servants were making noise, but later the military generals who were provoked became dissatisfied, and the noise in the court was like a vegetable market.

The emperor was very worried. These civil servants were really worried that the world would not be in chaos, so they actually provoked a civil war at this time. What were their intentions?

If there were more suitable candidates, would he keep sending Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian?
It was clear that the others were not capable enough. Even if they could win, it would only consume more food and the lives of the soldiers. As an emperor, he just wanted to minimize the sacrifices and let the soldiers suffer less.

"Humph!"

When the commotion was getting heated, the crowd let out a cold snort.

Lu Baichuan knew without turning around that Mr. Kang couldn't hold it in any longer.

Sure enough, Mr. Kang walked out of the crowd, looked at the officials who were talking nonsense, and said in a very contemptuous tone: "You sirs have been serving the imperial court for so many years, don't you even have any self-awareness?"

"Dongting was originally the leader of the four countries. Even if it has been damaged by our Beiyan attacks in recent years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Who can guarantee that he will win? In other words, who dares to say that he is better than Lu? Is the general powerful?"

"General Lu comes from a grassroots background. He became a second-rank minister at a young age. It was all due to his own ability. Last year, General Lu and his wife easily resolved the palace incident. Who among you here has such ability?"

"Not to mention Lord Qin, who just came back from the border. He defeated tens of thousands of enemies with just a few dozen men and came back completely. Who can have this ability?"

"My lords, what you are saying is really funny. Please ask General Yuan to lead the team. You said that you are too old to suffer anymore. Please ask General Lu and Lord Qin to accompany you. You said that he is too young, but you all have your own opinions!"

As soon as Mr. Kang came out, he asked if there was any.

Lu Baichuan felt that his ability to study in the Hanlin Academy was really unworthy and that he should be allowed to go to the Censor's Office. In the entire court, he was the most sharp-tongued and no one else could speak to him.There was a quarrel in the court, and the emperor didn't want to pay attention to it. Seeing the commotion, he immediately announced his withdrawal from the court.

Of course, I still called my close courtiers to go to the small meeting hall to discuss the matter carefully.

Before the emperor became the prince, he lived a poor life, and he was slowly raised by his confidants, so even if he got angry in the court, he would always smile when he arrived in the small meeting hall.

It was already dinner time. He understood that everyone was hungry and directly asked people to serve the food. The monarchs and ministers sat together at a table and talked while eating.

"General Yuan, what do you think?"

The emperor personally brought food to General Yuan. General Yuan thanked him respectfully, and then said: "This matter is obviously aimed at the two young generals Lu and Qin. They are both in the limelight, so it is understandable that they will be embarrassed. .”

"In my opinion, they just don't hit the wall and don't look back. Let them try it themselves and they will know how hard it is."

General Yuan has been fighting on the battlefield for most of his life. He takes these things very lightly. Even if he is told something, he is not angry at all.

Someone is rushing to die, why should he stop him?
He could think so, but as the king of a country, the emperor couldn't think so. He sighed: "But I can't gamble with the lives of the soldiers."

But Lu Baichuan said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to let them try it, so that I can spend more time with my wife and children."

Qin Jian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I am about to get married..."

It's not that they don't have sympathy, it's just that they can't sympathize.

Originally, they planned to frighten the Dongting directly so that they could go home and have their wives and children on the hot bed. However, there was no unity between the DPRK and the Central Government, and they always felt that the emperor was partial and even said something about the destruction of the country. So what else could they fight for? They were not allowed to be scolded by the civil servants. Can't hold your head up?
Before attacking outside stations, it is best to deal with the selfish people in the court, otherwise if a traitor appears, the consequences will be disastrous.

The emperor was so worried that he had a headache, but each of them was more worried than the other, and suddenly they lost their appetite at all.

"What do the other beloved ladies think?"

The emperor didn't want to look at them and looked at someone else instead.

Others expressed their own ideas in turn, such as asking Lu Baichuan and others to bring those outstanding generals with them. The more people they have, the more powerful they will be.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor: "No, there are too many generals and they will be defeated before fighting."

They are all generals who can serve as generals. If they were allowed to work under Lu Baichuan, would they be convinced?
Furthermore, not only this one border needs to be guarded, but other places cannot be ignored. Everyone is sent to resist Dongting, what about other places?
Isn't this a riot?
The emperor had a cold face, put down his chopsticks, looked at the table of people who made him miserable with an expressionless face, and asked: "Are you all full?"

Qin Jian said honestly: "Not yet, I just picked it up..."

"Now that you are full, dear ladies, please go back."

"..."
