Chapter 739 Boosting the Wave 3
As time is approaching, the hall of Xuanzheng Hall is full of courtiers, but there is no whispering before the morning. Some are just quiet and solemn, but there is a faint sense of tension in this solemnity, because the vast majority of well-informed ministers are aware of the extraordinary sound of today's morning. Perhaps it will be the weather vane of where the Tang Dynasty will go in the next few years. No one dares to take it lightly.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
In a dead silence, a shrill shout suddenly sounded at the corner of the apse. Even when she saw the Empress Wu, surrounded by a group of eunuch maids, she walked into the hall with her head held high, and the prince Li Xian slowly walked out of the corner a few steps away.
"I'm waiting to see the Empress!"
As soon as they saw that the Empress Wu had arrived, the ministers and workers did not dare to neglect a little, and they hurriedly saw their own big gifts.
"All the loves are in peace!"
Empress Wu walked slowly to the front, and a group of little eunuchs sat down in Zailong**. She looked around at the courtiers with awe and cried in a peaceful tone.
"Thank you, Queen Mother's kindness."
Since the Empress Wu had opened his mouth, the courtiers did not dare to be very rude. They hurriedly thanked them according to the rules of the court, and fell into positions separately. The early morning was officially begun.
"Let's play the Empress, Weichen has a book to play."
Just as the ministers were in a good position, a minister in a light purple official robe suddenly flashed out of the civilian queue and shouted loudly. It was the Qingyuan of Hongyu Temple.
"Hum..."
Although the ministers had long expected that the Hou party would make trouble in the early morning, they didn't expect that they would be so impatient. They didn't even wait for Cheng Denggao, the eunuch, to announce his voice according to the customs. Yuan Wanqing had already appeared, and for a moment, the voice of private discussion couldn't help but rise.
"Well, what's in charge of this chapter, Aiqing? I'm listening."
Empress Wu did not stop the private discussion of the ministers. She sat leisurely on the dragon **. It was not until the sound of the private discussion stopped for a while that she spoke slowly.
"I will abide by the mother-in-law's order." Yuan Wanqing thanked him respectfully, and then took out the folds covered with yellow silk from his wide sleeves, slowly spread it out, and announced it in a cadence: "Weichen Yuan Wanqing, Your Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother did not give up, and was able to take up the position of Hongyu Temple, conscientiously guarding, and did not dare to make a difference. Now, there is a big eater, send an envoy. When I came to the Tang Dynasty, the national letter had been handed over, and the inside was full of absurd words. Unexpectedly, it was said that my Tang Dynasty violated its border, which was actually a reversal of right and wrong, its behavior was also contempt, its words were also fallacy, and its heart should be killed. Therefore, Weichen thought that he should reject the request for peace in the country and send heavy troops to suppress it, which showed that the power of the Tang Dynasty was immeasurable! As above, smell it!"
"Oh? What's the matter? Where is the national letter?"
As soon as Yuan Wanqing's voice fell, the courtiers talked about it again, but this time Wu Hou did not wait much. He pressed his hands majestically to stop the chaotic discussion of the ministers. He glanced at Yuan Wanqing with his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"If you go back to the mother's words, the national book is here. Weichen has ordered the interpreter to translate the translation, which can be inquired by the mother at any time."
Yuan Wanqing bowed respectfully, and then took out two folds from the wide sleeves again, and held them together, holding them with both hands and raising them high above his head.
"Hmm!"
Queen Wu raised her hand and squeezed out a word from her teeth, with an awe-inspiring expression on her face.
"No!"
Cheng Denggao, who was waiting next to him, saw that the Empress Wu's face was wrong. He didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly answered, trotted down the front, took the two folds in Yuan Wanqing's hand, and returned to the front, holding both hands to the Queen Wu.
"Xuan!"
Queen Wu ignored Cheng Denggao's attentiveness, but waved her hand and said indifferently.
"No!"
After the Empress Wu said something, Cheng Denggao did not dare to delay at all. He hurriedly stood up straight, spread out the translation, and opened his mouth and said, "The true god is above, the caliph of our great food country, Avie Iben Abby Su Fuyang, to greet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There are no old grievances between our two countries, and we have business exchanges. Friendship, why did the soldiers violate my border, disturb my subjects, and fight without proclamation, which is so rude..."
"Arrogance, this great food country should really be destroyed, and you dare to say so arrogantly!"
"Such a wild and small country can stand side by side with me. It's ridiculous and should be killed! The old minister implored the Empress to issue an order and send out all his troops to destroy this!
"Yes, what Jia Xiang said is very true. These barbarians are not ashamed at all. The defeated country also dares to claim to be respected. I beg the Empress to issue an edict and send troops to suppress it!"
......
I don't know if the original text in the Great Food National Book is like this, or there is something wrong with the sentences that have been translated. In a word, this national book is full of arrogance, and the face is really abominable. Before Cheng Denggao Xuan is finished, Jia Chaoyin has jumped out and took the lead in opening the first shot. Immediately, the later parties also came to support each other, and everyone shouted Fight, shouting and killing, for a moment, the hall was full of war clouds, and the momentum was really scary.
"The Empress is clear. Weichen thinks that Jia Xiang's words are very inappropriate. The soldier has a saying: Soldiers, the major event of the country, and the way of life and death, must not be noticed. Today, the food is far away from thousands of miles away. What should I do with my soldiers? What's the intention of fighting because of words and ignoring the survival of the society?
Although the Hou party's momentum is strong, it can't really scare those who dare to speak. No, without waiting for the Empress Wu to make a statement, Xiao Ming, the imperial historian, has robbed it from the side and rudely accused Jia Chao of secretly misrepresenting the country.
"How did Xiao Zhongcheng say this? In the previous time, our 20,000 army could kill the people of 150,000 people with big food. They were famous and asked the thief to gather the army and dare not move a little. Now if tens of thousands of soldiers are transferred immediately, why don't you worry about the food being destroyed? As for the heavy grain, this summer's harvest, there is already the fear of rice to hurt farmers. Why not take this opportunity? To raise soldiers and beg for thieves, one can promote the power of our Tang Dynasty, and the other is to keep the stability of grain prices. Why not be happy with the best of both sides?
The post-party people dare to openly call for war in the hall. Naturally, they have long been prepared for the relevant situation. As soon as Xiao Ming's voice fell, the other party refuted it back without showing any weakness. It was as if it was really the master of the art of war.
"Yuan Hongyu's words are not good. Our Tang Dynasty is a brilliant upper country. How can we use swords and soldiers recklessly because of our words? Isn't that the same as the barbarian country? Now, the great food country comes thousands of miles away, and it has the sincerity to seek peace. Even if the words in the national book are a little bit, I'm afraid it is not a reason to start the war? Yuan Hongyu ignores the life and death of the generals and soldiers, and he is forced to fight. What is his intention?
As soon as Yuan Wanqing's voice fell, Lin Mingdu, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, had stood out from the side and rudely refuted Yuan Wanqing.
"Lin Shangshu's words are a big deal. If he really intends to seek peace, then he should be humble and be righteous. Now he has a lot of words in the national book, I'm afraid it's not the way to seek peace?"
"Yes, Lin Shangshu's words are misleading to the country. How can I tolerate the wild and small country to be so offended!"
"Jia Xiangsi's words are very inappropriate. The saint has a way to forgive. Today, Da Shi has sent an envoy to negotiate peace. If I ignore it and blindly want to fight, I'm afraid it will be different from the words of the saint?"
"That's right, what Liu Shilang said is very true. The callers only care about gaining their own reputation, but they don't care about the life or death of the army, which is a fallacy to mislead the country!"
......
With the appearance of Xiao Ming and Lin Mingdu, the officials of the prince's first series refused to lag behind and spoke one after another. For a while, the war faction and the Xuhe faction quarreled. They criticized each other endlessly, and the hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.
"Enough, don't you forget that you can't be rude before the emperor, huh?"
Looking at the quarrel like this, I'm afraid that there is no reason for this court discussion. The Queen Wu's face looks a little bad. As soon as she patted the copy, she scolded her rudely.
"The Empress is angry, and I know the guilt."
With such an attack, both the Hou Party and the prince's officials did not dare to say anything more. They could only bow down and apologize.
"Humph!"
Queen Wu glanced at the ministers coldly, looked at Li Xian, who was sitting firmly under the front, and said unhappily, "Xian'er, what should you say about this matter?"
Ha ha, this old thief is going to dig a hole again and let us jump!
As soon as he heard the Queen Wu's name, Li Xian couldn't help scolding in his heart. With his ability, how could he not know what the Queen Wu was calculating? It was just for Li Xian to express his position in public, and then take the opportunity to attack him. Of course, it's obvious. In the face of Wu Hou's name, Li Xian can't help but do this. The head.
"Mother Queen Mingjian, the child thinks that this matter must be discussed in the long run. Since the Great Food Country has come from afar to negotiate peace, if I ignore it, I will lose my demeanor. This is not what I should do in the Tang Dynasty. As for whether the discussion can be achieved or not, I have to say two things."
As soon as Queen Wu's voice fell, Li Xian had stood up from the brocade, turned around, faced Queen Wu, bowed, and answered slowly.
"The Empress is clear. The old minister thinks that what His Royal Highness said is right. It is war or peace. In the end, it is necessary to make a final determination after the discussion!"
Not waiting for Wu Hou to comment on Li Xian's words, Liu Rengui had stood aside and echoed loudly.
"The Empress Mingjian, seconded by Wei Chen!"
"Mother, the saint has a saying: if you salute first and then soldiers, then the teacher will be famous. Don't be careless!"
"What Liu Xiang said is very true, and I also agree with it!"
......
Liu Rengui is the old minister of Zai Fu. Although the ranking in the political hall is not at the forefront, his qualifications are undoubtedly the first in the literature and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty. At the beginning, many old ministers also stood up. At the end, even Pei Xingjian, Pei Yan and others generally do not easily participate in the battle between the party and the prince. The Zaifu also echoed one after another. Under the large number of people, the momentum is far greater than that of less than 40 people.
"Well, the words of Zhu Aiqing are reasonable, so let's discuss it first. It's just that who should preside over this peace matter? Is there anyone to choose?"
Wu Houyuan also knew that if he wanted to fight without discussion, it would be difficult to get through the plight of the court. Seeing that the situation was indeed as expected, he immediately changed his attitude and threw out a thorny problem, which immediately made the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty lose their voice, and the hall was strangely quiet...
