MTL - I Thought I Was Straight-Chapter 120 I got off the dragon bed and the minister panicked 11
What did Li Xiu think? Yan Ge didn't know at all, but the military adviser was very worried, always feeling that Li Xiu was planning some ulterior conspiracy. Yan Ge was pretending to be confused about this, he couldn't tell the military division that he was ready to die since he decided to bring his troops back to Beijing, right?
Although he was already prepared, he had to think about the people around him, after all, they were all loyal to him. Yan Ge thought that as long as he cleared the obstacles for Li Xiu and handed back the military power in the end, it should be possible to exchange his life for the rest of their lives. So he turned a blind eye to the military division's worries, and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun every day.
After Li Xiu was woken up by the minister that day, he felt very uncomfortable. For an emperor, military power and taxation are inviolable taboos. As a minister, Yan Ge occupied both of them at once. Immortal. But Li Xiu didn't know what kind of evil it was, and when she thought of killing Yan Ge, she felt that she couldn't do it no matter what.
He also comforted himself that it was a good thing that Yan Ge was helping him now, and even if the officials wanted to deal with him, he would have a reason to help him.
But now he doesn't dare to see Yan Ge often, because he is afraid that someone will say that Yan Ge is charming the Lord. Now that the country is in trouble at home and abroad, he still has to win over people's hearts, but he can't do whatever he wants.
At the same time, a major event happened in the Southwest. Because of the border with Khmer and other small southern barbarian countries, the Southwest has suffered small-scale invasions all year round. The army of the Tang Dynasty had to be stationed there, and the number of the army was not weak. Although it was far inferior to the northwest border army led by Yan Ge, these troops could not be underestimated.
Over the years, Yang Yanqing deliberately made friends with Liu Chonglin, the general soldier of the southwest, in order to deal with Yan Ge, and sent many of his confidantes to the southwest. Although Liu Chonglin did not say that he had completely become Yang Yanqing's person, he was definitely biased towards him.
This time Li Xiu took advantage of Yan Ge's opportunity to bring his troops back to the capital, not only vigorously clearing out the officials of the Yang Party in the court, but even the army began to rectify. Seeing that Yang's party was gone, and that Yan Ge was clearly in cahoots with Li Xiu, some local troops knew that trying to fight against the Northwest Army with their own strength was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Rather than being wiped out at that time, it is better to voluntarily give up military power, and it would be nice to be safe for the rest of your life.
But Liu Chonglin is different. He has also taken advantage of the opportunity of the traitorous party in the court to expand his military strength, and he has already injured hundreds of thousands of troops. It is absolutely impossible for him to voluntarily surrender his military power and become an ordinary citizen. He can't live without this kind of life that is extremely rich and rich, and he feels that even if he doesn't hand over his military power, the court can't do anything to him. At worst, he will turn against him.
Anyway, he is backed by Khmer and other countries, and then he can unite these small countries to fight against the imperial court. Isn't it more enjoyable to be an emperor than to rely on others?
So when he knew that the Yang Party was at the end of its rope and that many local armies had been deprived of military power, he discussed with several of his staff and raised the flag to rebel. The banner played is still high-sounding, saying that the current emperor listened to the slander of the villain and killed the loyal ministers and good generals. He had no choice but to rebel in order to alert His Majesty and help the emperor clear the side of the emperor.
Today's Chaotang Yang Dangdou has almost been cleaned up. Those who were promoted by Li Xiu are all advocating the recovery of military power. What does Liu Chonglin mean by this? Who is the traitor? Are we traitors?
Since ancient times, the most face-saving people are these literati. Face is sometimes more important than life, let alone being slandered like this? I couldn't help it at that time, I jumped up and rolled up my sleeves impassionedly, and I did it with one word.
Some ministers couldn't bear it anymore, it was not enough to fight, and they wanted to go to battle in person. I don't even weigh how many catties I weigh, and I want to go to battle to kill the enemy.
Li Xiu was also in a bad mood about this. To be honest, the current court situation is not very good. In order to get rid of Yang Yanqing's henchmen, the new batch of courtiers he replaced were either young or those who had not been reused for many years. Among these people, there is no shortage of talents in governing the country, but there is a fatal problem that is lack of experience. If they are given another 50 or 60 years, they will grow up, or maintain the normal operation of the country, but there will be no problem with such a big event, and their shortcomings will undoubtedly be revealed.
To put it bluntly, relying on them to suppress the rebellion is almost like courting death.
After much deliberation, Li Xiu felt that there was no more suitable candidate than Yan Ge. When he proposed this idea, he was immediately opposed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They described Yan Ge as an ambitious wolf in a more intense tone than after knowing Liu Chonglin's rebellion, and even said that they should find a way to kill him while others are in the capital, and they must not let the tiger go back to the mountain and so on.
Li Xiu was annoyed and annoyed, wishing she could slap the table to shut them up. In his opinion, if Yan Ge was the kind of person they said, there was no need to return to Beijing. Wouldn't it be better to directly rebel in the northwest?
Then he asked them three sentences, one was to ask them who will lead the troops? Second, who of you can guarantee undefeated? Third, what price are you willing to pay if you lose?
After three sentences, these people were all dumb. Since ancient times, victory or defeat has been a common matter for military strategists. Who can guarantee undefeated?
But Yan Ge can, this is not Yan Ge himself, but Li Xiu is doing it for him. Li Xiu himself didn't think he was bragging, he had blind confidence in Yan Ge. He used this full of confidence to appease the courtiers, and assured them that Yan Ge had no intention of disobedience.
When Yan Ge heard about this incident, he immediately felt that this was a great opportunity. For Li Xiu, the problems in the court had almost been resolved. As long as the problem of military power was resolved, he would have no other problems. At that time, he should also contribute Retired. But he has been thinking about how he should quit. At first, he thought that if Li Xiu was still afraid of him, then he would find a reason for him to kill him, and then he would naturally quit.
Moreover, his generals are very loyal. If Li Xiu kills him, no matter what the reason is, they will definitely be dissatisfied with Li Xiu, and there may be many disasters at that time.
Now he has a new idea, if he dies to fight for him, he will no longer be afraid of hating himself, and it will be easier for him to ask him to treat his old team members kindly. And I can also take this opportunity to escape, it really kills three birds with one stone.
He gave a memorial that day. He first expressed his loyalty, and then said that for His Majesty and Datang, even if he was a sick minister, he would arrest that traitor Liu Chonglin to the capital for His Majesty.
When Li Xiu saw the memorial, she was moved to tears. Manchu civil and military are not as caring as Yan Ge, woo woo woo he is really my lucky star. But he still said that Yang Ge didn't have to force himself, the body was important.
Yan Ge immediately threw off the quilt and jumped out of the bed, put on the court uniform and walked into the palace, showing with actions that the minister is fine, and that the minister can still fight for His Majesty for another fifty years.
Li Xiu immediately issued an imperial decree to Yan Ge, naming him the governor of the Southwest and the general marshal of the rebel army in the Southwest, saying that the court would do its best to support him.
Then Yan Ge ordered troops immediately, and even dispatched 100,000 troops from various garrisons, and another 300,000 troops from the northwest, and headed for the southwest region in a mighty way amidst the worries of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Not two days after Liu Chonglin rebelled and enjoyed the taste of the emperor, he heard that Yan Ge personally led troops to attack him. He was so frightened that he called the emperor crazy, isn't he afraid of Yan Ge's self-respect? Then he said in his heart that he couldn't do it. Yan Ge had countless good generals under him, and he had no advantage in the number of troops. This battle would not be so easy. He immediately sent people to seek help from Khmer and other countries.
How do you know that Khmer and other countries are not optimistic about him, and it is even more useless. If Liu Chonglin loses, won't they also receive the wrath of Datang? So they decided to watch the fire from the other side, and help whoever has the upper hand when the time comes.
Liu Chonglin received their envoys. Seeing that they were awkward, he just kept talking. Knowing that they were unreliable, he said in his heart that he could only do his best to stand still.
The generals under Yan Ge's command are all those left behind by his father who really know how to fight. The army is already discussing how to fight the war when it is still on the road. They didn't rush to march along the way, because they knew that Liu Chonglin had stayed in the southwest for more than ten years, and no matter how they got there, Liu Chonglin was just waiting for work. If you go slowly, the army will not be tired from the hasty march, and since you have time to send people to the southwest to investigate the situation, in short, you will never fight unprepared battles.
Li Xiu personally acted for Yan Ge at Suzaku Gate, telling him to be careful, which made the ministers beside him very angry.
Yan Ge smiled at Li Xiu: "Your Majesty, just wait for the good news from me."
In Li Xiu's reluctant eyes, he was wearing a black battle armor, riding on a red sweat horse, and headed to the southwest.
Li Xiu watched Yan Ge leave, feeling empty in her heart, as if something was missing. From that day on, he would have nightmares every night, always doing things that Yan Ge encountered danger on the battlefield. Every time I wake up sweaty, I can't sleep anymore, and I have insomnia all night long.
After a long period of time, everyone was exhausted, and the ministers saw him, thinking that he was worried about the war, so they comforted Li Xiu not to be in a hurry and to take care of his health. Li Xiu couldn't explain, so he could only smile wryly.
After discussing with each other, they felt that Li Xiu was not too young. If there was a caring woman around her to persuade her, they would not be so exhausted, so they wrote letters one after another to ask Li Xiu to choose a concubine. Li Xiu was in a bad mood, and reprimanded them severely for the reason that the frontier war was tight, but you still thought of such a thing.
The minister said that marrying the queen can't be now, but your majesty can accept the concubine first. There is no need for any ceremony and it doesn't cost much money. Li Xiu thought for a moment that he had indeed reached the age to get married. It's just that when he thought of a woman sleeping on the same bed as him, he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
That night when he was lying on the bed, he thought of Yang Ge, and when he thought of that night when he was lying on Yang Ge's bed, and his body was in contact with Yang Ge, not only did he not feel disgusted at all, but he felt very comfortable and at ease.
Thinking of Yang Ge, he gradually fell asleep. The first time he dreamed of Yan Ge was not because he was on the battlefield. Instead, he dreamed that he was on the bed with himself, and the posture of seeing each other frankly was extremely intimate and lingering. When he woke up, his pants were still soaked. He sat up and lowered his forehead with his hands. He couldn't tell whether he was happy to see his own heart, or worried about his future.
At some point, he actually had this kind of thought about Yang Ge and his general.
