Chapter 2655

Gu Zhong lowered his voice and hinted, "Your Majesty wants to ask Lord Zhou to ask for a pulse and tell the princes that your majesty is strong and not afraid to go far."

Man Bao understood in an instant. He still wanted to fight in person.

Man Bao looked at Tang He and could only follow Gu Zhong to the imperial study. He whispered, "isn't Xiao Yuan there?"

Gu Zhong whispered, "if one more adult speaks, the princes will naturally be more convinced."

That's strange. One doctor can say such a thing. Who wants two doctors to testify?

Aren't you afraid there are no 300 taels of silver here?

Xiao Yuan must have refused to testify.

Man Bao weighed it up in his heart. After seeing you later, what should we say?

She has a headache. Why should she be involved in this kind of political struggle?

The moment he stepped into the imperial study, man Bao remembered what Mr. Zhuang had told him before. As an official in the dynasty, he should not spend public affairs privately. No matter how selfish he was, he would face any bad consequences. The word justice was the most important.

Man Bao raised his eyes. Well, that's fair.

As a imperial doctor, she only needs to tell the truth. As for other things, she doesn't care.

Man Bao calmed down, walked into the imperial study, swept his eyes, and stood behind Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan looked at her slightly and didn't speak.

Man Bao looked up and saw Bai Shan standing aside with his hands tied. They looked up, blinked at each other, then bowed their heads and obediently listened to the leaders' discussion of politics.

The emperor was calmly directing the Chamberlain to hang up the map. There were two maps in total, one was a map collected in the Imperial Academy a long time ago, and the other was a map of the present.

Pointing to the northeast, the emperor said angrily, "compare yourself. How long has this area been separated by Koguryo? It was just before. Now the country is stable and the Treasury... Is not so poor. Why can't we fight?"

The ministers said they could fight. They are not opposed to sending troops, but to your leading troops.

Even Duke Zhao, who has always been on the side of the emperor, couldn't resist the euphemistic hint. Don't confuse it. We didn't say no to fight, but just refused your imperial expedition.

As soon as the emperor heard that they all agreed to go to war, he directly glanced back and said, "since they all agreed, let's call the troops. It's August now. We must end the war before the twelfth month, otherwise it's too cold for the soldiers to stand. I personally took 20000 forbidden troops to postpone. "

Courtiers:

Lord Tang had to stand out and say, "Your Majesty, Koguryo is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's not easy to fight. My minister meant that we might as well rest a little and send troops next year."

The emperor shook his head. "The speed of war is precious. It will be left for next year. Koguryo will slow down. It's even harder to fight. He wants to attack when he is attacked from the back and the back."

Yin Li said, "Your Majesty, Xinluo and Baiji are against each other."

The emperor twitched his mouth. Yan Li told him the news last night. He didn't know what to do when he knew it.

He really didn't understand the two vassal states. It was more than a success than a defeat.

Make a good alliance to fight Koguryo. Even if you want to criticize each other, you have to wait until Koguryo comes down?

As a result, in the middle of the war, they robbed each other of their territory, and they didn't talk about the morality of their allies at all.

The emperor felt that the two vassal states were not only not smart, but also had a bad character. Originally, he wanted to beat Koguryo down and reward them in Pyongyang. After all, that part was too far away, I'm afraid it was a little difficult to manage.

But now the emperor changed his mind.

He said, "then secretly send envoys to Xinluo and Baiji to let them stop the war for a while and fight Koguryo first."

"Your Majesty, now the envoys of Koguryo seeking peace are still living in the post station of Honglu temple. How do they send them?"

"I see, if Koguryo is willing to take a step back, it's not that he can't make peace." After all, sending troops is simple, but a trip is food and grass, armament and heavy money.

Before the emperor objected, some ministers shouted: "no, Koguryo has no reputation. Three years ago, their prince was still studying in our Imperial College. They dared to send troops to attack Yingzhou and seek peace after being defeated. How long has it been before they want to occupy Yingzhou? How can they believe their peace?"

The emperor hated it even more and said with a pursed mouth: "when the last emperor of the former dynasty, it was because Koguryo captured Liaodong that the last emperor sent troops to Koguryo and fought back and approached Liaodong City dozens of times, but every time they wanted to attack the city, they pretended to surrender. It's hateful that the last Emperor didn't have a long memory and always believed again and again. This gave them an opportunity. How can I make the mistake of the last emperor again?"

Speaking of it, the emperor and the last emperor still have a little kinship. They are cousins. The emperor hates the cruelty of the last emperor, but in this world, he hates Koguryo's backwardness. Therefore, he said: "let Honglu Temple send someone to contact them, hold them first, and don't allow them to pass any news back."

"Hum, feigning surrender is not only for them. First give them a message and say that I intend to respond, but they are not sincere enough. Then restrain their information and take them with me when I fight in person."

Courtiers:

There's no problem with the front, but can you not add the last sentence?

The ministers were tired and once again expressed their opposition to the last sentence.

The emperor pointed to Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhou man and said, "Xiao Aiqing and Zhou Qing are here. If you don't trust them, you can ask them to ask for my pulse to see if I can mount a horse to kill the enemy."

Wei Zhi said calmly, "Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. You are a Ming gentleman. Don't you even understand the most basic truth?"

The emperor said, "I can't go to the front, only in the rear."

"What is the significance of your Majesty's personal expedition?"

"Naturally, it's morale boosting," said the emperor with a heavy face. "At the end of the previous dynasty, the emperor made three eastern expeditions to Koguryo, but he failed to win Koguryo. Although Koguryo king was ostensibly obedient, Zhu Qing looked at it. From the previous dynasty to the present, which King Koguryo was willing to be called into Beijing? Tribute is sometimes absent and arrogant. "

"I can conquer East Turks, West Turks, Gaochang and Huihe. Why can't I win a small Koguryo alone?" He said: "since the founding of the people's Republic of China, I have also sent troops to recruit Koguryo twice. In the end, it came to no avail. This time, I will take it whatever I say."

The emperor said meaningfully, "why don't the soldiers who follow me in the eastern expedition rest assured?"

Wei Zhi pursed his lips and asked, "how many troops does your majesty intend to send? What results do you want? If the loss is more than half, there will be no result. Will your majesty advance or retreat?"

Is afraid that the emperor, like the last emperor of the previous dynasty, invested his troops without restraint.

It can be said that the people's resentment was boiling in the former dynasty and later. The eastern expedition to Koguryo was a big reason. Many people voluntarily cut off their brothers and sisters in order not to be recruited.

Wei Zhi will never allow such a thing to happen in Dajin.
