Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

He complained in his heart, but Marquis Liyang still reported the strategy he had discussed with Chu Ye yesterday to the emperor.

When Lu Yunkui heard this, he was overjoyed. It would be a good thing to retreat from the enemy without using any soldiers. He immediately agreed to Li Yanghou's proposal.

Marquis Liyang was afraid that he would drift away again, so he went out to remind him: "Your Majesty, although this strategy may work, it is not a long-term solution. Now it seems that there is an alliance between Dongyi and Xirong. Next time they will do it at the same time If we send out troops, with the strength of our country, it will be difficult to resist, so I ask your Majesty to agree to the recruitment of troops."

Marquis Liyang's request for conscription has been suppressed by the emperor for a long time.

He has long felt that raising so many soldiers would consume too much national power.

The national treasury is too poor to provide that much military pay.

But this time the Dongyi people suddenly attacked and taught him a heavy lesson.

Emperor Chengzong immediately asked his ministers to start discussing whether to expand the army, where would the money come from, and how much could be expanded.

Ye Linxuan has always opposed military expansion, but this time he actually agreed to Li Yanghou's proposal.

However, he proposed that the army should be expanded on the eastern front, that is, the Li family's army should be expanded.

But at the court meeting, no one would mention the Li family or the Chu family, only distinguishing between the east-west line garrison and the local army.

Most people close to the Li family and the Ye family are in favor of expanding the troops on the eastern front, and the reasons are very good. This Dongyi raid showed the emptiness of the defense on the eastern front, and the troops should be increased in time.

Marquis Liyang had no clear objection to this.

He is not a person who strives for power by nature, and from a strategic point of view, it is also correct to expand the military strength on the Eastern Front.

However, he still mentioned that this time the Chu family's army assisted the Eastern Front and suffered serious battle losses, so it was necessary to increase its troops in time.

Finally, the decision was quickly made, and the emperor agreed to recruit one hundred thousand troops, of which twenty thousand would be added to the western defense line.

The other [-] were added to the Eastern Front.

These [-] troops will be distributed according to the garrison points. For example, Linhai City, which was emptied out, will definitely account for the majority and will be allocated a quota of [-].

The specific operation is a matter for the Ministry of War, and there is no need to discuss the details at the court meeting.

At this time, some ministers mentioned that the soldiers who had made a great victory in the Eastern Expedition should be rewarded based on their merits.

Normally, Ye Linxuan and his close ministers would definitely come out to oppose it.

They would at least say that the war is not over yet, and the situation in Jiaozhou is still unclear. They should at least wait until the war is over and the army returns to the court to discuss merits and rewards.

In fact, every battle is done this way.

But this time it was different. This time there was Lu Zhaoling in the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Ye Linxuan and his comrades were eager to build momentum for Lu Zhaoling first, so they all agreed that they should reward the Eastern Expeditionary Army first to encourage them.

Everyone also knows that the reward this time is just some relatively empty title encouragement, and there will be no substantial reward.

The real reward must be based on military merit after returning to the court, with a certificate submitted to the Ministry of War for approval.

The emperor was not stingy with these empty titles. He even took Wu Ningbo's book and asked everyone to discuss who should be rewarded.

After Ye Linxuan learned about the victory on the Eastern Front last night, he wrote a memorial. He mainly praised the emperor's idea of ​​using military supervision as a wise and powerful idea, and proposed that the system of military supervision should be continued.

Of course, he also praised the fourth prince Lu Zhaoling for his perfect completion of the task of supervising the army, and suggested that he should be rewarded.

He stepped out of the queue and took out the memorial from his sleeve and reported: "Your Majesty, I have my own intention to report."

When the emperor saw it, he was overjoyed. Look, Ye Aiqing is prepared. Let's hear what he has to say.

The imperial eunuch took the memorial from Ye Linxuan and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the memorial with a smile, and then the expression on his face began to solidify.

"My son, Zhao Ling, thanks to the emperor's favor, has become the supervisor of the army..."

Emperor Chengzong became more and more disappointed, and the more he watched, the more angry he became.

Especially at the end, Lu Zhaoling dared to blame himself, thinking that he should not have sent him, a person who did not understand military affairs, to mess around in the army.

Emperor Chengzong's face was so angry that he was left speechless for a while.

Ye Linxuan stood under the imperial steps, also feeling uneasy.

According to the emperor's habit, if he reads the book and agrees with it, he will chuckle "haha".

If it makes him angry, he will huff and puff.

Ye Linxuan heard the sound of breathing and was full of doubts:

"Why is Your Majesty so angry?

Could it be that His Majesty actually disapproves of the military supervision system?

No, what king doesn’t want to control military power in his own hands?

Now that I have come up with such a wonderful method for His Majesty, so that he can legitimately control the army in the future, why is he still so angry? "

Chu Ye felt secretly happy when he saw the emperor's expression.

He also followed the queue and said: "It is the duty of our Ministry of War to submit to Your Majesty a list of meritorious rewards.

However, due to sudden events, although there was a great victory, the army had not yet submitted the list of meritorious officers, and the Ministry of War was not prepared.

Since Ye Shangshu has a proposal, please forward it to me for a look so that I can wait for the advice of the staff. "

The emperor was already angry. He was just about to say that he didn't need to read anymore, when he saw Marquis Liyang also coming out and echoed:

"I second the proposal. I also want to hear Ye Shangshu's proposal. After all, this Eastern Expedition involves a pair of my children. I hope that your majesty will make my old father proud."

Emperor Chengzong really wanted to yell, "You asked me to fulfill your pride as a father, so you can't let me, the father, make a fool of yourself in public, right?"

The other generals, seeing that Li Yanghou and Chu Ye had both come forward, also joined in the fun. They felt that everything should be a good thing today, so there was no harm in joining in the fun.

If something were to go wrong, the memorial was written by Ye Linxuan anyway. It would be good to listen to what the grandson was beeping in order to prevent him from playing dirty tricks.

Therefore, most of the generals came out and shouted in unison: "I second the proposal!"

At this time, Emperor Chengzong could not step down.

He angrily threw the memorial to Chu Ye: "If you want to read it, just read it yourself!"

He felt that he had made it so obvious. Chu Ye had read it himself and should not have made the contents of the memorial public.

Unexpectedly, after Chu Ye picked up the memorial from the ground, he read it loudly.

"My son Zhaoling...oh, so it's a memorial from the fourth prince?

The Fourth Prince is the supervisor of the army accompanying the army this time. He must have come to tell His Majesty the good news of the great victory in the Eastern Expedition.

Your Majesty, shall I read it to everyone? "

Chu Ye ostensibly asked for the emperor's opinion, but in fact he continued to read aloud as soon as he finished speaking.

His voice was full of emotion and his words were eloquent. Those who didn't know it might have thought that he was going to change his career to sing in an opera theater.

When Ye Linxuan heard that this was the fourth prince's memorial, he guessed that Li Yanghou had replaced his memorial.

He hadn't yet considered that the memorial was a fake memorial.

What he was thinking was how could Marquis Liyang guess that I was going to submit a memorial today to continue the military supervision system and deliberately change my memorial?

As for why the fourth prince's memorial was used in exchange, Ye Linxuan hasn't figured it out yet.

The fourth prince was indeed with the Chu family. Perhaps the fourth prince's memorial was sent back to Beijing with the Chu family's messengers.

What he was thinking was that the Eastern Front would be a great victory anyway, and Lu Zhaoling would just do nothing, and nothing would go wrong. Therefore, he was not particularly nervous at the first moment.

Ye Linxuan is still thinking about the military supervision system in his mind.

But when he heard the following content, Ye Linxuan panicked and exclaimed: "Fake, this is fake, how could this be written by the fourth prince?"
