The happy life of the devil and the devil

Work is the number one enemy of love.

No matter how much he tried to grind Ling Yucheng into his own hands, Yuan Shao could only plunge into endless work when he woke up the next day.The Jinwu Guard suffered heavy casualties, and the Habayashi Guard suffered heavy casualties... These are the military power directly held by the royal family, or the emperor, and the emperor relies on it to deter the whole country.If there are dead people on this side, people must be replenished immediately on the other side, and it is necessary to ensure that the combat effectiveness is formed as soon as possible.And how dare the army of confidantes and ministers with their arms and arms close their eyes to make up for others casually?

Not to mention that half of the Jinwu Guards are the grandsons and grandsons of famous families, and so many of the candidates that each family placed their hopes on died at once, even the emperor had to worry about how to appease these courtiers.

In the front hall of Zhaoxin Hall, Yuan Shao was facing the two memorials side by side in the middle of the royal case, and the two stacks of papers that were staggering to the side, and his face was gloomy, as if the memorial would grow teeth at any time Like to bite him.

"I understand what you mean. The two generals' pleading papers have already been handed over to me—" he casually pushed the two papers in the middle of the imperial case to Ling Yucheng: "As for how to deal with it, it must be in accordance with the laws of the state. Let's do it."

"Your Majesty Shengming—"

The courtiers who are qualified to stand here to participate in the Chang Dynasty, even if they are not the patriarch of a famous family, their official position is high enough to send their children to the Jinwu Guard.Great Liang was a martial artist, and there was no child who had been a child of the Emperor Zhiwu in his youth, and it would take ten times more effort to climb to a high position in the future—so almost all the ministers below were the ones who suffered, and every family had a funeral.

So many people died, even if Jinwu General Lei Yong was the emperor's confidant since he was a boy, even if Yulin General Ge Shuye was Yuan Shao's son-in-law, the emperor would have to give an explanation!

No, the impeachment of the two generals for dereliction of duty, loss of opportunity, and even deliberately putting His Majesty in danger, there are so many piles of bullets just from officials above the third rank!

Ling Yucheng looked at Yuan Shao's face, stretched out his hand to touch the memorial, and glanced at it twice.Naturally, the emperor couldn't be wrong, so who brought the team into the ditch and was buried?General Jinwu, General Habayashi, one of the two must take responsibility—this is the case now, the apology papers of the two people rushed to the imperial court today, and each of them was written in extremely painful, as if they deserved everything Death is not an exaggeration.

Not to mention General Jin Wu’s memorial, each word is the size of a walnut, and the strokes are strewn in a jiffy, forming a perfect contrast with the parallel writing, and I don’t know which staff member wrote it for him. The manuscript, just copying it, probably made him sweat profusely.

General Yubayashi's apology memorial was written in elegant lowercase script, and the article was written with sincerity, but it is said that Ge Shuye is still seriously injured and unable to get up. There are three to five hundred miles.Whether this letter of confession was written by the deputy general's staff, or whether it was written by Princess Qinghe and sent to the imperial father's desk, is worth guessing.

After just turning it over like this, Ling Yucheng began to care about it. "Your Majesty once told the ministers that the Jinwu Guard and the Habayashi Guard are both the emperor's personal army. The Jinwu Guard is on duty in the palace, and the Habayashi Guard is in and out of the retinue—then it is the Jinwu Guard who is responsible for scouting and clearing the way and sentry guards when traveling. Wei or Habayashi Wei?"

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed quickly.

The lesser of two evils, if General Jin Wu goes into captivity, there will be nowhere to find such a prestigious, loyal, and clean-born person to serve as the Imperial Guard.General Yubayashi has a lot of choices. Anyway, half of the generals are members of their Ge Shu family, and Ge Shuye himself is a son-in-law. No matter how he dealt with it, it would be very convenient for him to get up again...

Ling Yucheng's question was so serious that no one could refute it.

The Jinwu Guards are mostly infantry, and the Habayashi Guards are mostly Qingqi.This question can be answered almost without thinking - it is not necessary to let the fierce and nimble Habayashi guards follow the emperor closely, but let the stout Jinwu guards, who are known as the iron walls and iron walls, jump up and down, and rush out dozens of miles to find a place for the army to camp. Bar?

With just this question, most of Lei Yong's responsibility has been taken lightly.

"Encountering a natural disaster is, after all, a crime not caused by war." Seeing Yuan Shao lower his eyes, pick up the tea and blow the light smoke from the cup, You Zhu Guo Yuanjin immediately stood up to speak, and was immediately asked by Zuo Zhu Guozong. The leading officials collectively glared, we know that you belong to the clan, and none of your own children and grandchildren died in this accident, but don’t you stand on the side of the emperor so clearly?

"In the 12th year of the former Ninghe Dynasty, Yongyi Bo Yang Yucai led his army to the southern border." Ling Yucheng's face was cold, "Marching to Pingling Pass, camped by the river, unexpectedly the river embankment was destroyed by the heavy rain upstream, and [-] soldiers and horses Caught off guard, only more than a thousand people survived. Afterwards... Yang Yu was dismissed from his post, the Earl of Yongyi seized his title and destroyed his certificate, confiscated his family property, and ordered him to return to his hometown. The Earl's Mansion, which was founded to help the country, fell into a slump."

Non-war crimes?

Say this sentence to the soldiers who died, and to the comrades and citizens who were killed and injured because the army failed to arrive in time!

As a general, with no knowledge of culture or geography, let the troops under his command camp in a deadly place, how dare he say anything that is not a crime of war!

"That's right!" The old national abbot Namyan slammed his fist on his thigh.One of his beloved little grandsons had just been selected into the Jinwu Guard last year, and died in the landslide before he could make a name for himself. If he didn't deal with the culprit severely, how could he be so angry?

The Right Privy Envoy Li Bingguo turned his head, exchanged glances with Zuo Pingzhang and Shen Shiliang silently, and at the same time looked at Namyan with the eyes of an idiot.It's all right to be dismissed, seize the title, destroy the certificate, and confiscate the family property?Have you forgotten that you are a son-in-law, or you should feel at ease to save His Majesty's face!

Any family that can be passed on for several generations has a relationship of cooperation and checks and balances with the emperor.

When the royal family was powerful and the emperor himself had a high prestige, they obediently submitted to him, and at the same time fought for a chance to show their allegiance to the emperor.Once the emperor's family weakened, although they would not be tempted to usurp the throne immediately, it did not prevent them from taking a serious bite and tearing off a large piece of meat from the emperor's share.

Naturally, no one who can become emperor is a good stubble.With one hand holding and fighting, with the other hand cultivating forces that are loyal to oneself, and with the other hand disintegrating and drawing checks and balances among the aristocratic families.Promotion and demotion, succession to the title, and even marriage and concubine, the iron plate can also be pried out, not to mention that it is impossible for any big family to be monolithic?

It's just that a more understanding emperor spends seventy percent of his attention on governing the country and strengthening the army, simplifying talents, and increasing his own strength; a more understanding family head, even if he fights with the royal family, will not shake the foundation of the country.If the emperor is replaced by a dull and weak emperor, or the imperial family itself is weak, and there are more powerful ministers, then they can only play some small tricks...

The same goes for Yuan Shao.Like Jinwu General Lei Yong and Xiongwu General Yi Lishu, they were cultivated by the emperor himself and placed in high positions; like Yubayashi General Ge Shuye, although he came from a family, he was raised by the emperor himself. Also wholeheartedly towards the emperor.Such a person, even if he got into trouble, the emperor must protect him if he can.

Therefore, Ling Yucheng didn't even roll his eyelids at the speeches made by the head of the country, and just continued to speak plainly:

"Back then, Yongyi Bo Yang Yucai was escorted back to Beijing, and the three divisions discussed the crime. The Ministry of Punishment proposed that he was dismissed from his post and demoted to the noble for the crime of not fighting in the flood. Dali Temple caused the war situation ahead to be corrupted, and the town Nan, Lingxiao, and Pinggu Passes fell into the enemy's hands. Tens of thousands of defenders were killed or captured, and one hundred thousand people were taken into captivity. It was suggested that I should be given death. Before the exile army."

Yuan Shao kept silent, allowing Ling Yucheng to talk freely.The most hated thing in this world is actually not the quarrel between the two sides, but the complete ignorance of people.Look at his former father-in-law, his old face has turned purple... The next court meeting, should we ask the imperial doctor to stand by outside the palace?

Seriously speaking, he should have discussed with Ling Yucheng yesterday about who to protect and who not to protect, and what reason to protect.It's just that things started in a hurry, and both of them used their energies in other places. Ling Yucheng got up this morning and was awkward, not to mention talking to him actively, and he didn't even turn his eyes to him.It's rare that the court council cooperated so well, and every word and every word was in line with his wishes... Otherwise, how could he be his queen!

"At that time, the two sides argued endlessly, and finally convinced everyone was the conclusion of Zuo Du Yushi and later generation of famous minister Yao Jingzhi. He said that although the general was not at fault for the natural disaster, he knew that it was rainy in the south in summer. We can’t take more precautions, so that the entire army will be exhausted, and Yang Yu’s death will be unavoidable. What’s more, the loss of teachers and territories in the front, and the burden of the people will not be enough to atone for his crimes.”

Before any of the courtiers had time to speak, he glanced down sharply, forcing everyone to speak back:

"It's just that after all, it's a crime other than war. If this is the case, the whole family will be exiled. If the descendants have poor command, fear of war, and violate military laws, it is difficult to become a Yi tribe? If there are any traitors who surrender to the enemy, how will we deal with them?" ?”

Speaking of this, no matter how much dissatisfaction everyone has, they have to swallow it back.The incidents that happened during the royal tour to the north were indeed not small, but compared with the previous ones - the number of casualties on the spot was only a small half, and there were no such things as the subsequent battles were corrupt and the people suffered heavy casualties.The most important thing is to put the emperor in danger, but seeing that the emperor has no intention of pursuing responsibility, it is estimated that it is not very useful to take this one out.

Comparing with the previous examples, it is unlikely that a title will be destroyed by a noble family. It is so easy for a famous family to lose its title... The emperor can cut his son-in-law today, and any family can be cut tomorrow.More than ten years ago, the head of the state, Na Muyan, was defeated at Jianmenguan, and he was just dismissed. Two years later, he was awarded another official post, but the title of title has not been changed!

As for copying property?Have you confiscated any property with the princess mansion?

If you copy the emperor, you can change hands and get a double copy, okay?

Everyone in the room stared at Yuan Shao, looked at Yuan Shao, and then looked at Ling Yucheng—no matter how beautiful and "frozen" the face of a person is, after two years, they are used to it. Not sure.A few quick-witted people who don't like that face have already turned the corner: Now it's clear that the empress is the one who says something difficult for His Majesty, and what the Empress says is equal to what Her Majesty wants to say...

Well, ever since these two people teamed up, the lethality has never been one plus one equals two!

"I believe that the natural disaster was not a crime of war, and the two generals rescued the dangerous place by His Majesty himself. The punishment is too heavy, and His Majesty's benevolence is violated."It is clear that His Majesty will not punish severely, so instead of worrying about how to issue a ticket, it is better to get more benefits from His Majesty!

With such aspirations, the punishment decision came out quickly.General Jinwu Lei Yong was dismissed from his post and stayed on in order to see the future effect; General Yubayashi Ge Shuye was dismissed from his post, fined for three years, and banned for half a year for self-reflection.Then the monarchs and ministers quickly moved on to the next topic: "The martyred soldiers, please give me a lot of compensation..."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion..."

Come on guys!Take advantage of His Majesty!

"The minister...also seconded."

From the top of everyone's heads, a calm and calm voice came from beside Yuan Shao. Then, everyone watched Ling Yucheng get up and stand aloofly facing Yuan Shao. He took out a memorial from nowhere, and spread his hands...

Even the pension plan has been written?So fast!

You two discussed so many things at once, how long did you sleep last night?

The author has something to say: Yuan Shao: I wanted to hug him for a while...but the morning court or something...

Xiao Ling: When you say you don’t force me, you mean you can do it as usual?

Yuan Shao: As for how long I slept last night, I actually hope I didn't sleep all night...

Xiao Ling: What else do you want?

Yuan Shao: I suddenly remembered that there are still many things that I haven't communicated with you in advance...
