Chapter 1166 Anger
Zhao Xun walked back and forth there, looking worried and anxious, like an ant on a oil pan.
"They haven't come yet?"
"The ministers have not arrived yet, Prince."
Zhao Chengde quickly replied.
"Go and urge, go quickly."
Zhao Xun pointed to the door and shouted loudly.
"Yes, the emperor."
Zhao Chengde responded and ran away from here.
When Zhao Chengde left the hall, he saw that ** had already walked to the door.
**'s face was also very heavy, even a little ugly. Things about the Western Regions were sent back to Fengjing in the early morning. Not long after ** got the news, someone from the palace told him that he would go to the palace immediately and the emperor summoned him.
"Why is Eunuch Zhao so anxious?"
** asked out loud.
Zhao Chengde smiled bitterly and said, "The incident in the Western Regions was passed back, and the emperor was shocked and summoning all the ministers to come and discuss the matter."
After saying that, Zhao Chengde glanced at **, came over and whispered: "The emperor was very angry after seeing Huang Hongliang and *** the memorials of the two of them. He was angry at this time. Li Xiangguo would better wait outside and go in with other ministers later."
"Thank you, the manager, I am grateful."
** nodded and thanked him.
Zhao Chengde didn't say anything, and left quickly.
**Walking to the entrance of the hall, he stopped and looked silent.
Although Zhao Chengde did not say anything explicitly, there were some hints that the memorial between Huang Hongliang and *** must have said something extremely unfavorable to him. This is probably a revenge, because he did impeach Huang Hongliang in the previous Xizhou incident and had serious consequences for him.
**I am not a person who likes to escape, so I just pondered for a moment, then reached out and pushed open the door and walked into the hall.
"My minister, **See the Emperor."
**Bow and bow.
Zhao Xun looked at ** with a very cold look: "You already know everything about the Western Regions, right?"
"I already know."
** nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Dashi's attack on the Western Regions has obviously been planned for a long time. First, he sent an envoy to Fengjing to show his alliance, and then sent 30,000 troops to attack Persia. All these are illusions, in order to confuse us. Therefore, *** and Yuwen Zhen were neglected to prevent and were successfully attacked by Dashi, which eventually led to the current situation."
Zhao Xun looked at ** and didn't say anything.
** continued: "Now, Dashi has arranged 20,000 troops in Juyan City to rebuild the city and consolidate the defense. It is obviously preparing to hold a military stalemate with Huang Hongliang, to withdraw the main forces to deal with the northern and southern regions of the Western Regions. I suggest that the emperor immediately order Huang Hongliang to concentrate his troops and launch an attack while Juyan City has not been built and the defense has not been consolidated. Once Juyan City is taken down, the initiative in the war will be returned to our hands."
After hearing **'s words, Zhao Xun still had a gloomy face and said with a smile: "**, you know more about the situation in the Western Regions than I do. Oh, I forgot that you have raised a large group of people and set up a secret guard organization. I just don't know if you did this for yourself or for the country?"
**A little stunned. Zhao Xun obviously didn't listen to a word about what he said just now. Instead, he questioned himself with sinister words. Why is this?
** said: "Your Majesty, I have never had selfishness."
"No selfishness?"
Zhao Xun put the memorial in his hand on the ground and said viciously: "Is this your selflessness?"
**He glanced at Zhao Xun, went up to pick up the memorial, and looked at the contents inside.
This is a memorial jointly issued by Huang Hongliang and ***. They explained the current situation in the Western Regions in detail, and then impeached a series of people such as Yuanhe, Lei Wanhai, and Zhao Zhang. These were all old generals of ***.
Dashi gathered 50,000 main forces in the northern part of the Western Regions, and was commanded by Hamery. Huang Hongliang ordered Yuanhe to lead the army to defend Chengzhou. He himself would lead 30,000 troops to Chengzhou and fight against Hamery. However, Yuanhe did not obey the orders, ignored the overall situation, led 8,000 soldiers, abandoned the city and left, and fled without fighting.
In the memorial, Huang Hongliang complained that he had insufficient money and food, and asked the governor of Xizhou Lei Wanhai to supply food and grass, but was refused. The officials he sent to negotiate were also seriously injured.
Huang Hongliang's accusations against Lei Wanhai were the most severe. He said that he was self-respecting and asked Lei Wanhai for money and people, but the other party ignored it. Lei Wanhai also protected and favored many Dashi merchants in Xizhou City.
Lei Wanhai had close contact with Dashi people, and he might have a different intention.
As for Zhao Zhang, Li Zhaodi and others, they had nearly 20,000 troops, but they did not fight in one battle. They fled in a glance and handed over the entire southern part of the Western Regions to the Dashi people.
**After reading the memorial in his hand, he cursed Huang Hongliang's ancestors in his heart. This bastard said that he was like a saint. The reason why he did not send troops is mainly because he was afraid that Lei Wanhai had a strange intention. Once he sent troops, Horan would be empty, and Lei Wanhai might send troops to attack. At that time, he would be attacked from both sides and the situation would be even worse.
Huang Hongliang remained silent and fought passively. He was the most ambitious person, but he said it beautifully. He pushed all the responsibilities on Lei Wanhai, which was extremely shameless.
** said: "Your Majesty, you can't just listen to Huang Hongliang's words. Zhao Zhang and Lei Wanhai also uploaded memorials to the court. They have already said it very clearly. It's not that they are greedy for life and fear of death, but that the Dashi people came too suddenly, and the army is in full swing, and the enemy is large and we are few. Retreat for a while, and preserve the vitality and achieve success in the future. The best choice is to defend and fight hard. Just to destroy yourself."
** said again: "Yuan He has a letter to me. Although Xingcheng is strong, it is too large. He only has eight thousand soldiers in his hands, which is difficult to defend. Moreover, there are many ambitious people in the city. If Dashi people come to attack, there will inevitably be ** in the city. At that time..."
"Enough."
Zhao Xun interrupted **'s words and said angrily: "So many reality are in front of you, you are still quibbling there, and you still have the face to say this and that. No matter what Huang Hongliang's intention is, put aside him, the situation in the Western Regions is so corrupt that it is so corrupt. Lei Wanhai has millions of money and food, but he refuses to take it out or obey Huang Hongliang's orders. The entire Western Regions are almost gone. He guards Xizhou City and guards so much money and food. What exactly does he want to do?"
"There are also Zhao Zhang and Yuanhe who eat the king's fortune and receive the king's kindness. The enemy is facing a great enemy. Instead of wanting to serve the country, they flee without fighting. I wish I could kill all of them, such greedy people who are afraid of death and ungrateful."
At the end, Zhao Xun almost roared.
