Treasure hunt with my sister

Early the next morning, early morning.

"Long live, long live, His Majesty!" After all the ministers shouted long live to the emperor, Renzong looked at everyone.

"This time our army lost at the border and let Xixia win, what do you think?" Renzong said.

The generals and ministers below are looking at me and you at this moment, and they don't want to talk.

After a long time, at this time, a minister reluctantly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have many generals in the Great Song Dynasty. Although we were defeated by the enemy's tricks this time, we will start now to reorganize the border defense. I think we will be stronger next time we fight." Defeat Xixia!"

Renzong thought to himself, it's nonsense again, how do I know whether to win or lose next time, but this minister is an old courtier after all, although his words are smooth, but after all, it is to adjust the atmosphere, Renzong didn't reprimand him.

"Then let's talk about what Li Yuanhao wants to do. Apart from seizing our city at the border and ambushing our army, does he have any other ambitions? How should we deal with it?" Renzong said.

At this time, the ministers discussed in a hurry.

After a long discussion, a minister concluded: "Your Majesty, we feel that even if Li Yuanhao has the heart to destroy my Great Song Dynasty, he does not have the strength. The Great Song Dynasty is like the Kingdom of Shu in the Three Kingdoms. Although the Kingdom of Shu is strong, it is still a small country. Therefore, even though Zhuge Liang went out to Qishan six times and won many battles, he returned without success in the end. Therefore, Xixia cannot destroy the Great Song Dynasty. , what we have to do now is to guard the border firmly like Sima Yi! Try to prevent Li Yuanhao from invading the hinterland of our Great Song Dynasty. In addition, we need to increase the number of troops near Xi'an and never mobilize them at any time, because Xi'an was the capital of ancient dynasties , if the Xixia people take Xi'an, where the capital is located, it will have a great impact on the whole situation, as long as Li Yuanhao can't take Xi'an, even if he has some small victories on the border, it doesn't matter to the overall situation!" The minister said.

"It makes sense, Ai Qing continued!" Renzong said.

"Yes, so we only need to station troops in Guanzhong, stabilize Xi'an, and then send troops to the front at any time according to the situation. Even if we lose part of the battle in the front, our troops in Guanzhong can go out to attack Xixia at any time. In this case, Li Yuanhao will not dare to attack our border for a long time, and he will retreat. This is like Kong Ming and Zhuge Liang back then. After many battles, he had to withdraw in the end, and we dealt with Li Yuanhao in the same way! In the end, he still had to withdraw, and we were able to keep Guanzhong. Then we continued to use countermeasures and other tactics based on their situation to make them fight among themselves, and We can also grasp some of Li Yuanhao's weaknesses and make step-by-step arrangements, such as letting them fight in the palace, etc., so that when we are in a favorable position, we will launch a large army to attack them, and they will fight against them no matter whether we win or lose. It will be very beneficial to us if our vitality is seriously injured!" said the minister.

"Ai Qing's words make sense!" Renzong was a little elated. He was thinking, the concubine was really a god-man last night. She could have expected that her ministers would have many ways to defeat the enemy. A woman can think of So much, it’s really not easy, it seems to treat her well, but, such a woman should not have too much power, mother, otherwise the historical tragedy will repeat itself, and it will also harm her. I, Song Dynasty, have always been on guard against generals. Although the army was a little weaker, there was no chaos after all, and some regulations should be added to the harem, so that there should be no chaos in the harem.

"Well, just according to the words of the family, do you all have any opinions?" Renzong said.

"I don't have any opinion. Master Wang is very right, just follow the plan!" The other ministers said.

"Well, how should Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan be punished? This time, they failed to fulfill their due responsibilities as the deputy envoys and chief generals of Xuanwei, so that Li Yuanhao successfully carried out such an ambush against us, which caused a lot of discussion among the people and turbulent public opinion. Their crimes are unforgivable, you say how to punish them!" Renzong said.

The following ministers were silent.

A minister boldly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, General Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan have guarded the border these years and have given the enemy a great deterrent. Their abilities are still good! I suggest that Your Majesty let them perform their crimes and make meritorious deeds! After all, new people have to go up to adapt. , Maybe they will fail due to unfamiliarity, and General Han and General Fan have experienced the tricks of the Xixia people, so let them continue to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, maybe they can guard the border better!"

Renzong was silent, he didn't know what to do, whether to punish the two generals or not.

"Your Majesty, I think so. After all, they are the chief generals. Their subordinates were defeated and tens of thousands of people died. If they are not punished, it will be difficult to rectify their discipline. Otherwise, they should be dismissed and replaced by talented people. There is no one else, and the two of them can be summoned to guard the border at any time, what does His Majesty think!" Another important minister also stood up and said.

Renzong couldn't help nodding, "If you keep them after losing the battle, it's not serious! That's it, let them resign and talk about it later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" everyone said.

"Besides, I have something to say!" At this time, an official from the household department came out to speak.

"Ai Qing said, I will leave the court after I have heard it!" Renzong said.

"I heard that Teng Zijing, the prefect of Jingzhou, abused the public money to buy people's hearts, and took out the public money without authorization to show compassion to the bereaved families of the fallen soldiers. Taking out sympathy is just buying one's own hearts, and where is the majesty of the court? It is rumored that the court is indifferent to the families of the war dead, but it is the local Teng Zijing who sympathizes with the pain of the survivors to take it Money compensation, does the emperor think that such a situation should be punished!" said the official of the household department.

"Yes, this wind can't last long!" Renzong thought, he has to wait for me to come if he wants a pension. It should be done, it must be done, but it seems to be punished, otherwise everyone will follow suit, won't they all buy favors by themselves in the future, they still have to be punished!

"Okay, let's decree that the defeat of Hao Shuichuan has a lot to do with General Han Qi. Fan Zhongyan is also an important front-line general, and he didn't fulfill his duty. He should be punished. Remove Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan's military position , go back to Chang'an and wait for your orders! Teng Zijing will be demoted and exiled for misusing public money!"
