They all say I'm a tyrant

The situation in the Southwest at this moment is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning. It could only be regarded as a little friction, but now it will become a war between two countries, or even multiple countries. North Korea and China will send tens of thousands of soldiers to rush to support, so On the morning of the next day, Lin Ce relayed the situation in the southwest to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then said indifferently: "Fan is so arrogant that it doesn't take our Southern Wei seriously at all. All you think, what should I do?" To resolve the current crisis in Southwest China?"

You Yan stood at the head of the group of officials, showing a barely perceptible smile when he heard the words.Although he had already made a decision, Lin Ce never gave up any chance to test his courtiers.It seems that Lin Ce just initiated a discussion, but it is the best opportunity to get to know the officials.Who is in charge of the battle, who is in charge of the peace, and who is silent from the beginning to the end.

No matter how intense the courtiers' discussions were, or how far the topic would go in the end, Lin Ce just listened quietly and didn't mind them losing their composure during the dispute, because the more intense the dispute, the easier it is for people to lose their minds. The city's palace, deliberately concealed, will be wiped out, but will reveal its deepest thoughts.

Compared with the past, today's debate is actually nothing new, and there are actually not many things for Lin Ce to think about.Because in the minds of most courtiers, Fan Kingdom and its surrounding small countries were not taken seriously, and with the current national strength of the Southern Wei Dynasty, there was no problem in trying to stabilize the war situation in the southwest, and there was absolutely no reason for a small southwest country to seek peace.

Because of this, the discussions among the courtiers focused on who to send to help the southwest. Everyone who led the army was mentioned all over the court, but no one thought of Tao Jiang, who had a very low sense of presence.After all, in the eyes of many people, Tao Jiang is still You Yan's confidant. Although You Yan had handed in the military amulet before, but because he recently resumed participating in the early court, this is in the hearts of many people because he is undecided and intends to regain military power Performance.

In the eyes of many people, the southwest battle is an inevitable victory. No matter who leads the troops, the chances of victory are greater, which is equivalent to gaining a victory for nothing.As Tao Jiang is You Yan's confidant, people in the court are naturally unwilling to entrust this opportunity to him.

You Yan naturally noticed the thoughts of these people, but he didn't care at all.Although he attends the morning court every day, it is all for Lin Ce. Most of the time, he does not say a word, and he never participates in their debates. Sometimes even You Yan himself doubts whether he has really done something that crossed the line.

Lin Cegao sat on the dragon chair, quietly listening to them mention all the alternatives they could think of, and then slowly said: "I have heard all the proposals of the ministers. It is just that what you proposed just now People, and they were refuted by their colleagues, they are not suitable candidates. Therefore, I have been thinking about this just now, but I suddenly thought of a suitable candidate."

Lin Ce's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the ministers, and he said lightly, "Tao Jiang, the Central Guard, used to be the bodyguard of my royal residence, and later stepped forward to go to the northwest when I was in urgent need of succeeding to the throne, and made outstanding military exploits." , if he goes to the southwest, this battle will definitely be won."

Tao Jiang was so famous back then that he was considered a deterrent to the Northwest. Even if there was a little silence in the past few years, he would not be forgotten. The reason why everyone didn't mention it was because they didn't want to give You Yan a chance, or because they didn't want Lin Ce to misunderstand that he was with You Yan. related.But I didn't expect that it was Lin Ce who proposed Tao Jiang's name in a grand manner.

Du Daojun's mind is unpredictable, it was Lin Ce who had received You Yan's soldier amulet before, and now he wants to reuse You Yan's men, which made the courtiers confused for a while, and did not understand what Lin Ce was up to.

For things that you can't figure out, it's not easy to express your wrong attitude by keeping your mouth shut, so the courtiers who were still arguing just now quieted down.

Lin Ce raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty's order is to be obeyed."

Lin Ce smiled and said, "Well, the situation in the Southwest is critical, and there is no need to delay any further. Then Tao Jiang, the Central Guard Army, will be the commander of the march, and he will lead an army of [-], and set off on a certain day to help the Southwest."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Lin Ce patted Yuan lightly, and continued: "In the southwestern war, I had the advantage in the Southern Wei Dynasty, but it has become so passive today. Guo Zhun, the general manager of Yizhou, can hardly be blamed as the coach, but the current situation in the southwest war Zhengsheng, it is not appropriate to change the commander midway, and he is grateful that he has been stationed in the southwest for many years. , and reward again."

The courtier knew in his heart that the words had come to this point, which meant that Lin Ce had already made a decision regarding the Southwest, and no one would refute Lin Ce at this time, so he just listened quietly.

Lin Ce continued: "As for the partial general Wu Sheng, he didn't obey the command of the commander, and rushed forward so rashly that he fell into the enemy's trap, causing thousands of soldiers to die. Lingling City is recovering from injuries, and I will send them out after the war is over."

"The ministers obey the order."

Everything I wanted to say has been said, and the solution to the southwest war situation has been implemented. The future direction is no longer something that Lin Ce, who is far away in the capital, can intervene.He took a deep breath, but there was no wave on his face: "Then retreat."

You Yan knelt down along with the crowd to thank Lin Ce, and then slowly got up when he watched Lin Ce disappear. It seems that Lin Ce is getting more and more calm.

He smiled and shook his head. As usual, he watched all the officials leave before slowly leaving the palace gate, but was stopped by You Li who was waiting at the gate.You Li has been in Dali Temple for several months, and it seems that he has adapted more than You Yan imagined, but it is probably his first entry into the officialdom, although it is smooth, but there will always be some small troubles, and there is no one in the mansion to talk about, After You Yan lived in Changle Palace, the number of times he returned to the mansion was much less. Although they could meet with their uncles and nephews every morning, they didn't have a chance to talk, so You Li often waited for You Yan after the court was over, and his uncles and nephews chatted briefly. After a few words, You Yan sent gifts all the way to the gate of the imperial city, and then returned to Changle Palace in a leisurely manner.

In You Yan's eyes, those little troubles of You Li are not worth mentioning, but he is also happy to solve his nephew's problems, and occasionally he can't help feeling that You Li is young after all, although he is young and immature, he is also precious.If at any time he also becomes like those scheming courtiers in the court, then You Yan will have a headache.

Compared with the past today, there is nothing special. You Li talked about some trivial matters in Dali Temple, and then couldn't help complaining that his grandmother sent some portraits of young ladies to his room all day long, and even sent two portraits yesterday. You Li, a maid, didn't know what to do with the old man's kindness, so she had to ask her uncle for help.

You Yan comforted his nephew, promised to go back to the mansion to rescue him in a few days, then sent him out of the palace, turned back to Changle Palace.

The Southwest matter has been concluded for the time being, but the matter of Chunwei has not been resolved yet. You Yan wanted to know what Lin Ce was doing at the moment. As he walked, he thought about whether to let the imperial chef add soup for lunch, so he arrived at the gate of Changle Palace , only to find that there was a man kneeling there.

Lin Ce usually doesn't like to be disturbed by others, and the courtiers rarely come to Changle Palace when they have no business, and he has never seen such a wanderer before.As he was thinking, he approached, only to realize that the kneeling man looked familiar.

Gao Yong was leaning over to comfort Lin Xiu, he looked up and saw You Yan coming, as if relieved, he walked quickly to You Yan, and said softly: "General, please help me quickly, can you persuade the princess to go back? Your Majesty just I said, he won't see her, but the princess said that if His Majesty refuses to see her, she will always kneel here."

You Yan lowered his eyes slightly: "Why did she come here?"

"What else can I do? Although the one in the southwest made a big mistake, she is still the princess' sweetheart. She must have come to intercede for him."

"Thousands of soldiers who died in vain, who will intercede for them?" You Yan did not deliberately lower his voice like Gao Yong did, these words clearly reached Lin Xiu's ears, her back was stiff, as if she wanted to turn around and face He took a look at You Yan, but he still didn't have the courage.

You Yan waved his hand towards Gao Yong, motioning him to step back, and walked in front of Lin Xiu a few steps: "Princess must see the Holy Majesty today?"

Lin Xiu raised her head to look at him, and said in a shy voice, "Yes, I have something to say, and I must meet the emperor."

"How could the Holy Majesty not know what the princess wants to say? As for the attitude of the Holy Majesty," You Yan turned his head and glanced at the closed palace door, "The princess should also understand. Although the princess is Wu Sheng's sweetheart, but Even the princess of the Southern Wei Dynasty, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the people of the Li people in the Southern Wei Dynasty are closely related to you. Wu Sheng holds a great weight in the princess's heart, but don't the rest have any weight at all?"

"I don't have that intention, it's just..." She licked her dry lips, "It's just that he went to the southwest for me. He was too eager to make achievements, he wanted to win a big victory as soon as possible, and he wanted to marry me as soon as possible." .So I should share half of his guilt."

"The princess will share the burden for him?" You Yan chuckled, "Not to mention that the princess is innocent, even if there is, you are sure that the Holy Majesty is not willing to hurt you, that's why you said that you should share half of it for him." If you say so, it’s just to keep him from being punished. It’s like your Majesty has made it clear that he doesn’t want to see you, but you insist on kneeling here, but it’s just that he won’t bear it if he’s determined, and he doesn’t want you to suffer here.”

You Yan squatted down in front of her: "You seem to be expressing Wu Sheng's determination, but in fact, you are just using yourself as a bargaining chip to blackmail your brother. You kneel here today, don't you just want to Show him that if anything happens to Wu Sheng, is it possible for him to lose your sister as well?"

"Actually, it is very easy to avoid Wu Sheng's guilt. Because the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly when marching and fighting, even a person who has fought for a long time will inevitably make mistakes. It is true that Wu Sheng refused to obey the general order, but he was defeated. The reason is that the enemy is cunning. Although Wu Sheng is wrong, he will not die, and the princess doesn't have to be like this." You Yan said lightly, "It's just that if he doesn't even have the responsibility to bear his own mistakes, at this time he still wants to Let you, as a princess, use your blood relationship with the Holy One as a threat to save your life, this kind of person, I advise the princess not to marry."
