Prosperous advisors

Chapter 881 Soldiers suppressed the situation, Rong Jin arrived (2)
"Prime Minister, what do you say?" Ge Shujun waved his hand and looked at Prime Minister Bai, who was the head of the civil servants standing in the front.The civil and military officials of the Northern Han Dynasty, the civil official was naturally Prime Minister Bai, but the generals were headed by Lie Wang Ge Shuhan.It's a pity that although Prime Minister Bai has a good life to be the head of officials, he can't compare with Ge Shuhan in terms of reputation and status, not to mention that the Northern Han Dynasty itself valued martial arts and despised literature.

Prime Minister Bai thought for a moment, before he said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I believe that it is absolutely inappropriate to use force with Xiyue at this time."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a lot of opposition.In the Northern Han Dynasty, the main war faction will always be more than the main peace faction.Immediately, a general stood up and said, "Prime Minister, what does this mean? Could it be that our Northern Han is afraid of Xiyue?"

Prime Minister Bai said: "Naturally, we are not afraid of Xiyue, but now Lie Wang is far away in Huaguo and has not returned. Although the Northern Han Dynasty has already occupied half of Huaguo's territory, the customs and habits of our Northern Han people are very different from Huaguo, and they are not good at governance. As time goes on, the survivors of the Hua Kingdom may not be willing to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty. And the northern barbarians have not yet settled down. If we go to war with Xiyue again at this time, it is easy to say now, but we may not be able to bear it after a long time."

The general snorted softly and said, "So what if you don't want to surrender? Could it be that those weak Chinese people can still rebel?"

Prime Minister Bai glanced at the arrogant man on the opposite side and shook his head, "They may not rebel, but the people can flee to the south and surrender to Xiyue."

"Isn't that just right? The land of the Northern Han Dynasty should be enjoyed by our Northern Han men." Most of the men in the Northern Han Dynasty looked down on the frailty of the men of the Hua Kingdom, and they could kill two of them with one punch. It was impossible to live on the grasslands of the Northern Han Dynasty.Although half of the land in Hua Guo is occupied by them now, the people living on that land are still those who are weak in culture and culture. What's the point?
"Prince Bai is right to be worried. We in the Northern Han Dynasty have a vast land and few people, and we are not good at farming. If these people refuse to submit, who will grow the large land in the Northern Han Dynasty? Where does the food come from?" Xiao Xiao who had been silent all the time Ting suddenly said.

Everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Ting in surprise, Xiao Ting was too young, although he was already a third-rank official, but he didn't talk much in the court.Those military generals with outstanding military exploits didn't pay him much attention.What surprised everyone was not that Xiao Ting spoke, but that Xiao Ting would echo what Prime Minister Bai said.Empress Xiao has a prince, and Bai Jieyu also gave birth to a prince last year.Although Bai Jieyu's status is not high, the Bai family is a big family in the Northern Han Dynasty.Prime Minister Bai is a civil servant, but it doesn't mean that the Bai family has no generals.But the Xiao family is exactly the opposite of the Bai family. Empress Xiao is the head of the six palaces, but the family background of the Xiao family is a little thin. If not, there is no need for Xiao Ting, the son of the Xiao family, to go to Huaguo to be a spy in person.Under such circumstances, no matter how unscrupulous the Northern Han people were, they knew that these two families were destined not to deal too hard.

Looking at the noisy officials in the hall, Ge Shujun sighed helplessly.In the early years when the various divisions of the Northern Han Dynasty were divided, it was a good thing that the generals of the Manchu Dynasty were brave.But now when the Northern Han Dynasty has already set its sights on the world, it can't be like this.Although conquering the world depends on generals, generals who can only rush forward sometimes have to hold back.It's not that the emperors of the Northern Han Dynasty did not want to change this situation, but the people of the Northern Han Dynasty favored martial arts, and it was much easier to make military exploits on the battlefield than to read poems and books that they didn't like bitterly.Moreover, all the families of military generals have made outstanding achievements and have high positions and weights. Even if there are a few civil servants, they can't change the situation at all, but they have made a mess of them.This is also the reason why Ge Shujun vigorously supported his younger brother Ge Shuhan as soon as he succeeded to the throne.He would rather believe in Ge Shuhan's character and loyalty, and in the future he will have another emperor brother with great achievements, and he doesn't want to endure these families of generals anymore.

But now it seems... still not enough.Other countries put more emphasis on culture than military, and there are no generals to use when fighting.He puts more emphasis on martial arts than literature, and there are too many generals who are not smart.Being an emperor...is not easy.

"Could we just let Rong Jin bully him like this? Even if we don't go to war, who knows if Xiyue will strike first?" Someone muttered unwillingly.

"Xiao Ting, what do you think?" Ge Shujun asked with downcast eyes.

Xiao Ting thought about it for a moment, before he said: "I think that if Rong Jin really wants to go to war with Rong Jin's character, he won't talk nonsense at all, just crush him with an army of millions. Since he is just Chen Bingbai Wan is on the border. That means he doesn't want to go to war either. After all...Mu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown now." They all knew that Mu Qingyi was definitely not dead. Damn it too.

Ge Shujun's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Tingdao: "My minister thinks that Emperor Xiyue may have come to the Imperial City of the Northern Han Dynasty at this moment."

"This..." Ge Shujun couldn't believe it, Rong Jin really took Mu Qingyi so seriously.Is it possible for the majestic emperor of a country to risk himself?

However, Xiao Ting was obviously very confident in his deduction, "Your Majesty, don't forget that Xiyue still has Nangongjue. Even if Emperor Xiyue came to Northern Han himself, he might not be afraid." The millions of troops that went to the border of the Northern Han Dynasty really needed to think carefully if they wanted to move Rong Jin.What's more, Rong Jin himself is a peerless master, and it is not so easy to want his life.

Speaking of Nangong Jue, the generals in the palace gradually calmed down.The most popular general in recent years is Ge Shujun.But if it was put 20 years ago, Nangong Jue's reputation would have been even worse.If Rong Mutian, the then emperor of Xiyue, hadn't suddenly given up on Nangongjue, I'm afraid the current situation of the world would not be like this.

Ge Shujun raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the guards on the border are ordered to strictly guard and be ready to deal with the enemy at any time, but...don't fight Xiyue lightly."

"My minister obeys the order." Although some people had different ideas in their hearts, no one objected after all.Waving his hand, Ge Shujun said in a deep voice, "Back off. Prime Minister and Xiao Ting stay."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone looked at Xiao Ting and Prime Minister Bai, and bowed respectfully.

The hall suddenly seemed a little empty. Ge Shujun sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the two of them. He frowned and said, "Is there any news about Prime Minister Mu's whereabouts?" Prime Minister Bai shook his head. I can confirm that Mu Xiang is indeed no longer in the imperial city."

Xiao Ting also pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty, please come down."

Ge Shujun frowned irritably and said, "What are you talking about now? Finding Mu Qingyi is the most important thing. If I knew that such a thing would happen, why would I arrest her?" There was no way to threaten Rong Jin.For some reason, the thought of facing Brother Rong Jin Shu Jun always felt a little creepy.
