Chapter 286 Argument
"Send the report!"
At this moment, Li Mujun's voice came from the main hall, with a look of shock on his face.
Although he had heard Taiwei Qin explain yesterday that Prince Xuan might ask the court for help at this time, Li Mujun was still a little surprised when the result came.
In an instant, there was silence in the hall. Everyone looked at the secret guard who delivered the message. They saw the secret guard stand up, walk through the center of the hall, and walk upwards. In Li Mujun's eyes, the guard on one side stood up. Liu Jin walked down and took the report very wisely, and then handed it to Li Mujun.
While Li Mujun was quietly reading the memorial, all the officials below had different expressions.
Especially Li Heng, Lin Shufan and many other ministers, it was so surprising that Prince Xuan asked the court for support at this time.
Who would have thought that Prince Xuan would ask the court for support?
The eyes of the ministers flickered, and their minds kept thinking about the meaning of Prince Xuan's move. The atmosphere in the hall changed again and again, and was filled with a sense of tension.
After a while, Li Mujun from above put down the memorial and said in a deep voice:
"The situation in Danzhou is indeed critical. King Xuan knew that it was difficult to resist, so he asked the court to send troops."
As soon as Li Mujun's voice fell, all the officials immediately raised their heads and looked above the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Then the next step is to discuss whether to send troops to support.
The officials' eyes flickered, observing the situation of the people around them. Although they remained calm on the surface, everyone was eager to stir up their hearts, and there was an undercurrent in the hall. As soon as the eldest princess took up the post of supervising the country, Prince Xuan asked the court for support.
This turned out to be a big problem.
They all know that there are people from Prince Xuan, Prince Yu, and Prince Ming in the court, secretly or covertly. What do they think?
Especially the officials of King Yu and King Ming were extremely shocked. They never expected that King Xuan would take the initiative to request the court. Doesn't this mean that King Xuan gave up?
The situation was urgent, and they could not report it to King Yu and King Ming behind them, so they could only be vigilant secretly.
Li Mujun glanced at the silent ministers. She knew they were all waiting for her to speak, "What do you think of Prince Xuan's request?"
"Princess, I think this matter is important and we should send someone to Danzhou to investigate carefully before making a decision!"
Lu Xun was the first to speak, and he came out to perform the sermon with a serious look on his face.
As a representative of Emperor Yao's faction, he naturally would not easily allow the imperial army to be sent out.
Now it is natural to use the drag-and-drag method to see how the situation is in Danzhou.
Before anyone else could speak, an official jumped out and said loudly.
"No!"
"Eldest Princess, soldiers need to be quick. Since Prince Xuan seeks help from the court at this time, he is already in dire straits. If we waste any more time, I'm afraid it will be too late to provide support by then."
Hearing this voice, Lu Xun was furious. Just as he said that he needed time, someone immediately refuted that he was wasting time.
Damn it! I want to see who is going against me at this time!
Lu Xun's eyes were sharp and he turned to look at the speaker, only to reveal a sneer at a glance.
Zhang Gao!
Lu Xun originally thought that the person who dared to speak immediately after he expressed his position was at least a minister or minister of the Sixth Department, or at least an important member of the second rank, or even the second rank, or the first rank, but he never expected that he was actually a third rank. A junior official, a junior member of the Ministry of War.
The most important thing is that Zhang Gao has always belonged to King Xuan's side.
King Xuan requested, and his people naturally wanted to help.
"Haha, Master Zhang, isn't this inappropriate? Everyone knows the relationship between Prince Xuan and the court. As soon as Prince Xuan asks for support, our court will immediately go to support him?
Don’t we need to know the situation in Danzhou? You are ignoring the safety of the soldiers of the imperial army. What are your intentions? "
At this moment, an unceremonious voice sounded. Not far from Zhang Gao, Liu Zhao, a third-grade official in the Ministry of Etiquette who had a similar status to him, suddenly stood up.
Zhang Gao's face turned red when Liu Zhao said that, and he couldn't help but said angrily:
"Liu Zhao, what are you talking about? What is the relationship between Prince Xuan and the court? Isn't Prince Xuan the prince of our Dayu Dynasty?
Could it be that King Xuan will harm the imperial army? Now King Xuan is dealing with the rebel general Chu Junxiong for the safety of the Yu Dynasty. Now he is in crisis. If you make sarcastic remarks in the whole hall, you are not afraid that the kings of the Yu Dynasty will be chilled! "
"Haha, you know whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Do you think everyone doesn't know your intentions?"
Liu Zhao was not afraid at all. He felt Lu Xun's gaze, and he raised his chest and raised his head. Now in the court, the party behind him has the majority, what should he be afraid of.
Seeing Liu Zhao's unyielding attitude, Lu Xun showed satisfaction in his eyes and nodded slightly.
"What are my intentions? There is a war in Danzhou now. Shouldn't the imperial army go to redress the rebellion?"
"Did I say I won't rehabilitate myself? We need time..."
"Time? Soldiers are valuable and quick, do you understand?"
"Hey, you are still an official of the Ministry of War. Don't you know that the most important thing in war is intelligence?"
The two soon got into a heated argument.
The ministers and important ministers in the court watched their quarrel with dull eyes and did not express their opinions.
But some of the civil and military officials around them were miserable. They were all uncomfortable, as if they were on a stove. They wanted to leave the two flames, but everyone's station was fixed and they couldn't. Move around.
At the front, Lin Shufan and Lu Xun looked at each other, let's make a noise.
It's better to quarrel, so that we can make peace with each other and drag them through the court today, and everything will be easier to handle.
Lu Xun lowered his eyebrows and stood quietly. No matter what method he used, it would be good if he could achieve his goal.
Many ministers also understood Lu Xun's thoughts, and half of the court fell silent.
The officials who belonged to Li Heng's side watched Li Heng remain silent and hesitated to speak. They wanted to speak, but were wary of speaking. They watched the argument between Liu Zhao and Zhang Gao silently.
When I went to court today, there was an evil nature inside and outside. Many people who wanted to protect themselves closed their eyes one by one.
Just express an attitude, don’t listen or watch!
"Princess, I think what Zhang Gao said makes sense. Prince Xuan's request for support from the imperial court has already shown that Danzhou is in its most critical moment and there is no need to delay. We should send troops immediately!"
Just as the two were arguing fiercely, a loud voice suddenly overshadowed the two of them and rang in the hall.
Zhu Youwu, the Minister of War, suddenly stood up and said.
The court suddenly became much quieter. When Liu Zhao saw Zhu Youwu speaking, his heart trembled, he closed his mouth and lowered his head.
Zhang Gao's face showed surprise when he saw Zhu Youwu speaking out.
Li Heng and Lin Shufan, who had remained calm, suddenly opened their eyes and looked at Zhu Youwu in shock.
Zhu Youwu actually agreed to the imperial court sending troops to support Prince Xuan immediately!
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that everyone in the court knows that Zhu Youwu is Taiwei Qin Yi's favorite disciple.
