"Oh, Prince Zhongshun, it's been a long time since I saw you." Several ministers smiled and came forward to salute, "I haven't seen you for a long time, is the prince better?"
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry to bother you, this king is much better."
Someone lowered their voices and said with a smile: "The grand meeting arranged by the sage, even if the body is not neat, the lord is also coming for the sage."
Pang Xiao squinted at this person. Those who could come to Fengtianmen at the great court meeting were all Beijing officials of the fourth rank or above.
"Lord Lin knows this king." Pang Xiao smiled lightly, making people unable to see his anger and anger.
But people with discerning eyes around him could hear that what this man said was quite ambiguous, and it was easy for people to think that he was satirizing Pang Xiao. And Pang Xiao did not show any dissatisfaction.
Seeing Pang Xiao being so forbearing, the passing generals of Xungui couldn't help but frown, and they couldn't hold back their anger.
When they were fighting outside to defend their family and the country, these civil servants only knew how to intrigue, not to help, and there were people behind their backs.
They are the ones who are fighting desperately, but it is this group of corpses and vegetarians who are in high positions.
What kind of character is Pang Xiao? That is the terrifying God of War Lord, who is called the scumbag behind his back! Now, he has been repeatedly suppressed and treated by the sage, and the troubled family has been destroyed. At this time, even the prince's temper has been worn away.
How much grievance did it take to make the prince bow his head? What is the difference between the prince who bowed his head and the tiger wolf whose sharp teeth were pulled out
The generals and nobles felt uncomfortable. Some were good at forbearance and walked over with their heads lowered. Others had a bad temper and spat on the spot. They didn't name their names, but said, "A group of silverfish!"
Pang Xiao looked amused, but did not say much. He shook his head and went to the place where the meeting of the court was, and stood in the first place of the military commander according to his identity.
These ministers in Japan and the DPRK are all concerned about the situation of the Battle of Tartars. Although Ji Zeyu has experience in defeating the enemy, but Pang Xiao is in the capital, the chances of the two of them working together are higher, so many people, whether they have a position or not, Whether or not he has been to lobby at the palace, in the bottom of his heart, he hopes that Pang Xiao can stand up and fight against the Tartars with Ji Zeyu.
Pang Xiao doesn't care about other people's thoughts, he is already mentally prepared, if the sage gives an order, he will immediately lead the order and do the errand. His mind was simple. No matter what Li Qitian did, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who wants to join forces should be prepared to have their hands chopped off. No matter how the Tartars are foreigners, he will never allow the people to fall into the Tartars. in human hands.
Today's Fengtian Temple is very quiet. Everyone has an account in their heart.
At this moment, the hoarse and high-pitched voice unique to the internal supervisor resounded in the square.
"Go to court, ministers, kneel!"
The crowd shouted long live, and knelt down and saluted.
Although Pang Xiao's injuries have not healed, and he has touched the wound several times along the way, he still looks as usual and kowtows with the others, without breaking the rules.
Li Qitian walked up the imperial steps in a bright yellow suit. After sitting in the first place, he first looked at the leader of the generals. It was true that Pang Xiao did not push three or four obstacles, but really came, and he felt a lot more at ease.
The courtiers quietly waited for the order, and only after the words of "there is a book and no book to withdraw from the dynasty", they will make a statement to the saint, and the quasi-loyal prince will go to the Tartars.
But today's Li Qitian is thinking what no one can know.
He coughed, and the internal supervisors stepped back one after another. Li Qitian stood up and said impassively: "Today's court meeting, I have a few decisions to announce."
Everyone was anxious, waiting for Li Qitian's words.
Pang Xiao lowered his eyes, looked at his nose, nose, and heart, as steady and self-sufficient as before, as if the treasured sword was still in the scabbard, as if he was not touched at this time.
Pang Xiao was calm, but some officials became nervous.
Li Qitian clearly saw everyone's performance. His words could arouse so many people's nervousness, and Li Qitian was very satisfied.
But seeing that Pang Xiao still had the same expression as before, as if nothing could shake him, Li Qitian only felt that his heart was filled with an uncontrollable atmosphere.
It's like this again, as if he has been laughing at himself, laughing at himself, and he doesn't care about his will at all!
At this time, Li Qitian is more and more sure that his decision is correct!
Li Qitian stood up and preemptively said, "We ordered Gao Wenliang to be the head coach of the Huben army, and the army of 100,000 soldiers will reinforce Huichuan!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was silent, everyone was stunned, their mouths opened wide, and they couldn't react for a long time.
The Hu Ben Army is brave and true, but the only one who can bring out the Hu Ben Army's ability to the extreme is Pang Xiao, who brings out the Hu Ben Army with one hand!
Before today's court meeting, many people believed that Pang Xiao would definitely go out on an expedition and regain control of the Tiger Ben army. It's just that no one could have imagined that the sage had become so terrified of Pang Xiao that Ning Yuan was threatened by the Tartars and refused to teach him about the Hu Ben army!
Those civil servants and military generals who hoped that Pang Xiao would go on an expedition could not return to their senses in their astonishment. And those officials who secretly belonged to the Qiu family were even more turbulent at this time, trembling nervously.
They have done their homework, and the sage has ordered people to persuade them. Who would have thought that now, the sage has not considered their thoughts at all! It is impossible to arrange Pang Xiao to fight with confidence at all!
As for Gao Wenliang, he couldn't be more shocked at this time. He used to be Ji Zeyu's subordinate, and then his career went smoothly, and he admired Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao in his heart. This is not uncommon, what general in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty did not admire Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao
But he never thought that he would one day be the coach of the Hu Ben Army!
"Your Highness. My minister..." Gao Wenliang strode out, gave a big salute, and said in a rough voice, "My minister is frightened, my minister..."
"Why, Marshal Gao still wants to resist the decree?"
Before Li Qitian could finish his words, he lowered his face and scolded in a deep voice, "Don't you want to go out for the country and fight against the Tartars with Duke Dingguo?"
"Of course I am willing, but I have little experience, so I'm afraid that..."
"It doesn't matter. You just take over!"
Listening to Li Qitian's voice, Gao Wenliang didn't dare to say any more, so he could only rush the ducks to the shelves and give them a salutation.
During this period, Li Qitian has been observing the situation of Pang Xiao. Seeing Pang Xiao standing with his hands down, his eyes watching his nose and his heart, as if nothing unexpected happened, Li Qitian became even more angry.
Isn't Pang Zhixi a native of Dazhou, and doesn't have any emotional fluctuations about the expedition? Deprived of his coaching position, he can be so calm, isn't it a deep-hearted performance
In this case, Li Qitian no longer hesitated, "Pang Zhixi."
"The minister is here." Pang Xiao strode forward and saluted respectfully.
All the civil and military people looked in the direction of Pang Xiao.
Li Qitian said: "The disaster in the south is serious. When the earth dragon turned over, you were there to relieve the disaster. You must have experienced a lot. You will be more confident in dealing with disaster relief. The people are the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. Leave it to you, you are the special envoy for disaster relief, and you are dispatched to the south to provide relief to the people, quell the chaos of the people, and avoid the suffering of the people!"
Everyone was even more exaggerated than the stunned gape just now.
We are all smart people, what is there not to understand at this time
The sage is clearly afraid of Prince Zhongshun, and he does not dare to let him get a little bit of the Tiger Ben army, and would rather let him be a god of war, who is extremely capable, and is very likely to expel the Tartar God of war to relief disasters!
Indeed, Pang Xiao had extensive experience in disaster relief. But when I went to the south for disaster relief, it was because the earth dragon turned over, and the affected area must be limited in size.
But what about now? This year, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters, and the sage took the money that was not enough to repair the emperor's tomb. The national treasury was empty and did not come up with an appropriate solution to the problem, but let it run its course, resulting in insufficient supply of food in the national treasury. At the critical moment, the granaries in various places in Dazhou could not support it!
The people have no food to eat, and there are black-hearted businessmen from all over the world who are hoarding food and selling it at high prices to make it difficult for the country to make money! The common people have to calculate their meals on weekdays, not to mention the sky-high prices sold by those unscrupulous merchants? They couldn't afford it, so they could only endure it and eat tree roots and grass. Some people escaped from the famine when they couldn't survive in their hometown, and some organizers went to attack the yamen in various places, and those who rose up and rebelled only heard about four places this month!
Now that the Holy Admiral has given this errand to Pang Xiao, it is self-evident what to do.
To defend against foreign enemies, even if you are poor, the sage will pay for it.
But when Pang Xiao went to disaster relief, if the Sage did not take out the money, the disaster relief would not be carried out. If the disaster relief could not be carried out, who would the people in the world resent? At that time, the first thing they will resent is the official in charge of Pang Xiao!
This move is too vicious. He took advantage of this chaos to want Pang Xiao to explain it completely here, so that he could have enough time to weave charges for Pang Xiao, so that he could get rid of the serious troubles in his heart.
However, at the time of such internal and external troubles, the sage was only concerned with removing the hidden danger of Pang Xiao, a threat to the throne, in order to consolidate his position. Is this really responsible
Pang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth mockingly.
Should he feel his weight in Li Qitian's mind at this moment
He should be honored to be so focused on by Li Qitian.
But does Li Qitian really care about the Tatar foreign enemies
Pang Xiao's mind changed and he understood.
It's not that Li Qitian doesn't care about the Tartars, and it's not that he doesn't want to destroy the Tartars to boost the country's prestige. What he made was a "two-pronged approach" decision. Ji Zeyu once defeated the Tatar once, and this time, the Hu Ben army joined the army. Li Qitian was sure that even if Pang Xiao was not there, Ji Zeyu and Gao Wenliang could easily take down the Tatar. .
At that time, the other places will be cleaned up, and then Pang Xiao'an's previous charges will be solved, and Li Qitian can really sit back and relax.
He smiled and thought about it in the blink of an eye, and his face was calm as never before.
"The minister obeys the order." Pang Xiao bowed and saluted, touching the wound on his hip, causing his movements to stagnate for a moment.
However, Pang Xiao stood up as if nothing was happening, and when the hall asked, "Sir, the disaster in the south is serious, how much rice, grain, silver, and medicinal materials have been prepared by the sage for disaster relief? After this order, the minister can also count it and prepare in advance."
When Li Qitian heard the words, his face darkened.
