Chapter 709

"Hou Junji is the first to kill him and then report!" Changsun Wuji grabbed Huma pancake in his hand and ate it in a big mouthful, while criticizing severely.

"Indeed, I'm just doing this with him, so I won't be confused." When Wang Gui, the Secretary of the Central Committee, said this, he looked at Qin Lang with special eyes. It was obvious that there was something in his words. Qin Lang was the representative of killing first and then reporting, and he did this more than once. It can be said that this chaos was not started with Qin Lang, but he made up the trend.

Ma Zhou, the Minister of the Secretariat, looked worried, "Although Hou Junji has also been the Minister of War and has been the prime minister, he was just a saint's personal guard general in his early years. He has never personally led troops to fight, let alone commanding one side to stand alone. Now that the war in the Western Regions has begun, it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. In such a big battle, Hou Junji did not listen to the unified coordination and dispatch of the court and sent troops privately. I am afraid that he may not be able to control the situation!"

When Qin Lang attacked Tuyuhun, although he was a little bit decisive and then reported, the problem was that Qin Lang had made sufficient preparations, and the Longyou Army had been sharpening their knives for a long time. Hou Junji did not have such conditions, or ability.

There are few prime ministers who will be optimistic about Hou Junji at this time, or in other words, no one really believes in Hou Junji's ability.

Although he was the Minister of War and the Prime Minister, he was still entitled to the title of General of the Right Guard, everyone knows what this person can do to rise to power. That is because he was the emperor's confidant, the emperor's old friend when he was young, and he also had a loyal guard who had fought with the emperor in many years, and the great contribution he made on the day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

"Hou Junji couldn't even shoot arrows well, and he never brought more than 10,000 troops to command the entire Western Regions. I don't think so." Wei Zheng said in public unceremoniously.

Hou Jun is famous for his poor shooting skills. This guy is quite brave. He is very powerful with a horse spear and a steel whip. However, he was under the emperor's command before, and he was indeed a servant. He never said he had commanded the troops alone. When he was the Minister of War, he did not show any talent as a general.

He was looked down upon by the prime ministers in the political affairs hall.

"The war in the Western Regions has begun, and our Tang Dynasty must interfere, but the distance is too far and this battle is difficult to fight, so we have to choose an excellent general to command Fang Xing, but Hou Junji cannot!"

Qin Lang sat there without saying a word. His relationship with Hou Junji was as powerful as water and fire, and it was very irresistible. However, the emperor was particularly favored by Hou Junji. The two had conflicts, and the emperor mediated several times. Although Hou Junji's appearance was just a preface, he was willing to train him in the northwest.

At this time, even if Qin Lang speaks correctly and objectively, those who are interested will think that he is taking the opportunity to retaliate. Instead, it is better not to say it, and it will make him generous.

Anyway, Hou Junji has always been looked down upon by the prime ministers and lacks qualifications and prestige in the army. Even if the emperor deliberately asked Hou Junji to learn military tactics from Dai Guo Duke Li Jing, this fact could not be changed.

The emperor intended to help Hou Junji come up, but in fact it was nothing more than Hou Junji being a confidant, loyal and easy to use. He also intended to learn from Li Jing with Hou Junji, who was also from Guanlong, to replace Li Jing as the leading position of the generals in Guanlong.

The opposite of this is of course the group of upstarts of military merit, and the most powerful group of upstarts of military merit in the Tang Dynasty is of course the Shandong tyrant. Now the leader is Qin Qiong, because Qin Qiong is low-key, after the Battle of Longyou, Qin Lang, who has become the general and prime minister, has become faintly the core of the Shandong tyrant.

The emperor valued Qin Lang, but he also tried his best to support Hou Junji, which clearly wanted to continue to reuse Li Jing before, and balance the style of respecting Qin Qiong's achievements.

"I want to tell me that the court should transfer troops from Longyou Hexi to the Western Regions, and we cannot rely solely on those Hu people." Changsun Wuji made a loud statement after eating Huma pancakes.

Qin Lang smiled and continued, "I think Duke Zhao's words are very reasonable. Not only should he send elite troops from Longyou Hexi, but he should also send a prime minister to coordinate the overall situation. I think Duke Zhao should be invited to Yiwu personally to take charge, command all the Han and foreign soldiers to jointly encircle and suppress Ashina's power."

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Qin Lang to push him out. He was a little confused for a while. Changsun Wuji followed Li Shimin for many years and was definitely a confidant, but one of his shortcomings was that he lacked military merits. Although his father Changsun family has been in the past generations, his father Changsun Sheng was still a famous general.

But Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were friends with common people. They have always been the masters and have never fought a war. If they had a little decent military merit, they would have been firmly in the position of Right Pushe.

"Duke Zhao, I think this strategy for the Western Regions is to focus on destroying power. After capturing the Destroy power, the Western Regions will need to re-establish order. This involves all aspects. You must have prime ministers and officials like Duke Zhao to go to the scene of conquering the situation."

"As for military affairs, it is secondly. I suggest that the second general of the General of the Grand Governor of Liangzhou, Li Daozong, and the second general of Lanzhou, Cheng Yaojin, will be appointed as the deputy, and then the vanguard of Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche will be the vanguard of left and right. From Longyou and Hexi, 20,000 elite troops will be dispatched to Yiwu, and the camera will drive away the troops of Kucha, Yanqi, Shule and Gaochang, so that they can join our Tang Dynasty."

Qin Lang's proposal made Changsun Wuji feel a little moved. What he regretted the most was his lack of military merits and no prestige in the military. Qin Lang now gives him a chance to assist these famous generals, Changsun Wuji doesn't have to worry about military affairs.

Anyway, he is in charge, and he obeys these powerful generals in specific battles, so he just wants them to fight.

"I think it's better for Duke Wei to take charge personally. Duke Wei has made great achievements in military affairs and is also famous in the Western Regions. Duke Wei will definitely succeed if he takes action." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

"I, forget it. The situation in the Western Regions is just a small way to fight. The real thing is to be able to intimidate and serve the tribes. Moreover, I heard that Ashina Ni came to Chang'an and became sworn brothers with the saints. At that time, Duke Zhao also had a good relationship with Ni San."

"It's okay." Changsun said.

The two sang together, but they were in harmony.

The right servant Gao Shilian could naturally see that Qin Lang intended to ask Changsun Wuji to go to the Western Regions to earn military achievements. It was obvious that he was to gilt. He was Changsun Wuji's uncle, so of course he supported this matter. Anyway, as Qin Lang said, now there are Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Eastern Turks and Dangxiang tribes who have joined the Tang Dynasty. This time they will send troops to cooperate with the use of troops.

There are also elite soldiers in Longyou, and the people are now betrayed. Xiao Yili Khan was killed and Nishu fled to Yanqi. He was already desperate. The Tang Dynasty invited all the younger brothers to surround him, and one beaten him to pieces.

Anyway, the purpose of the Tang Dynasty's troops this time was not to destroy the Western Turks or to occupy the Western Regions, but to attack the unjust Siye Hu Khan.

Therefore, the Western Turks, such as Nishu, and the Western Regions countries that surrendered to the Western Turks, would also cooperate with the Tang army this time. Therefore, even if Hou Junji was allowed to fight in such a battle, there would be no problem.

Of course, Qin Lang's reason was that destroying the power was a small matter. The focus was on re-adjusting the power to the Western Regions after pacifying the power, saying that a prime minister had to go there. First, the prime minister was sufficient, after all, he was facing the khans, kings, etc. of various countries, and secondly, he also suggested that Hou Junji did not have this ability.

The right servant Gao Shilian agreed with the Minister of Personnel, and the chairman of Pingzhang, Sun Wuji, went there.

Although it is just a small flower hall in the courtyard, the people here are already prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall. If you can unify your opinions here, the matter will be decided, and only a report from the Political Affairs Hall is left.

Wei Zheng suggested that it would be more appropriate for Qin Lang to go. He thought that Qin Lang was familiar with Longyou Army. Qin Lang refused and said that his physical injury had not healed yet. He was not suitable for long journeys and bumpy roads, and he was not suitable for commanding troops to fight. He also said that his diplomatic mediation was not enough, and he was far inferior to Changsun Wuji.

It was only then that the bell rang.

The palace gate is open.

The Censor came over to remind the prime ministers to lead all officials into the court.

So Qin Lang and others tidied up their lower clothes and stood up.

In front of the palace gate, the guard of the gate was verifying the door talisman.

Qin Lang took out a golden fish talisman from his goldfish bag. There was only half of the fish talisman, and the other half was in the hands of the guards. They checked Qin Lang's official position and took out the half of the fish talisman to verify. There was a word on the fish talisman, which was Qin Lang's name, official title, half of the negative text and half of the positive text. There was also a same character in the middle. The two pieces were combined and the strict silk was a contract.

There is actually no one in the palace who knows a prime minister like Qin Lang, but the system cannot be changed.

Previously, Changsun Wuji was summoned to the palace once, but he forgot to remove the sword on his body and took the sword to the face of the saint. He was impeached by the censor. In the end, the emperor said that he would pardon Changsun Wuji, but the guard guard was sentenced to death for his dereliction of duty. Later, several prime ministers pleaded for mercy, so Changsun Wuji was fined the salary, and the guard was exempted from the death penalty and demoted to the palace.

Duke Li Jing of Dai was also ordered to court today. The eunuch at the palace gate specially prepared a chariot for him. Four little eunuchs carried Li Jing to court, which was a special honor.

Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian led all officials to enter the palace and went to court.

It was lightly bright.

Qin Lang finally entered the hall with a staircase.

Above the Golden Palace, all officials kneel down according to their ranks.

The three divisions and three ministers are at the forefront, under the emperor's stairs, each with seats, above the prime minister.

Then there were the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall. No matter their rank, they were second only to the third division and three dukes, and each had their own seats.

After the prime minister, he stood in two groups of civil and military officials.

In general, the officials are ranked by the level of officials, and the officials of the same officials are ranked by the top of the title, and the titles are ranked by the same ranking.

Several censors were responsible for supervising etiquette. If they stood in the wrong position, they would be registered. Even if they dared to make noise, they would be charged with the name.

The Grand Marshal Qin Qiong was not in Beijing, Situ Changsun Wuji was the current prime minister, Sikong Gao Shilian was also the prime minister, and the prosecutor Sikong Qin Lang was also the prime minister.

Therefore, today's court meeting, the prime ministers were directly at the forefront. Li Jing, who was in charge of the three affairs of Kaifu Yi and Pingzhang, and Yang Gongren, who was in charge of Kaifu Yi and Pingzhang, were also among the prime ministers.

All officials were arranged in order, and officials above the third rank sat in the Golden Hall, while those below the third rank could only be arranged outside the hall.

Qin Lang sat in his own position, smelling the incense burning in the hall, and enjoyed it. The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were treated well, and there were seats in court and there were soft cushions. Officials under the Kaifuyi and the Third Division could only kneel down and sit on the cushion in the hall.

Of course, compared to the Song Dynasty who could only stand and even kneel down to worship in the Qing Dynasty, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were still very superior, especially the prime minister, who really sat with the emperor to discuss the truth.

The ritual officials sang harmony, and the crown prince Chengqian arrived.

After the prince arrived for a while, the emperor finally arrived.

The officials lined up in two rows, facing the mountains and shouted long live. When they heard the emperor shouting for free, the officials turned around and faced the hall.

The Grand Court Meeting officially begins!
