Chapter 861 Too Honest

Imperial City.

The eight hundred miles that Yunzheng sent back were rushed to the imperial city three days ago.

Because of this incident, Emperor Wen began to attend court again.

However, Emperor Wen still rarely spoke in the court.

The daily court meetings were still presided over by Yunli, the prince of the country.

There was still a lot of noise in the court today.

The main war faction headed by Xue Che and Xiao Wanchou had a fierce quarrel with the conservatives headed by Xu Shifu and Gu Xiu.

The main war faction believes that now that the Moxi tribes are aggressively attacking Xing'an Fort and sending troops to support Da Yue, there must be insufficient defenders on the border. In this way, they can just take revenge for last year's attack.

But conservatives believe that we must not actively seek war at this time.

On the one hand, it is because Yun Zheng sent the military intelligence report back, so it may not necessarily be credible. Maybe Yun Zheng is counting on the imperial court and the Moxi tribes to beat him to a bloody head so that he can benefit from it.

On the other hand, the court's lack of money and food was simply not enough to support a large-scale war.

Also, because Yun Li forcibly weakened the powerful clans, the pass was very unstable, and civil strife would break out if not careful.

In order to suppress those clans and clans that were ready to make a move, Yunli directly ordered Xiao Dingwu to lead 30,000 elite troops to guard Yunzhou to guard against rebellion by the clans in the south.

Once they take the initiative to start a war with the Moxi tribes, even if the imperial court wins, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

At this time, the imperial court simply could not withstand such torment.

The main reason for the main war faction to fight is to take revenge!

The conservatives have very good reasons.

Since then, the main war faction has been completely at a disadvantage.

After two days of quarrel, many people even within the war faction sided with the conservatives.

Now, only a few generals such as Xiao Wanchou and Xue Che are still persisting.

Although the generals had loud voices, they could not stand up to the large number of conservatives. Xiao Wanchou and the others were unable to quarrel at all and were often silenced.

Regarding the quarrel in the court, neither Yunli nor Emperor Wen spoke to stop it.

For Yun Li, this situation is something he likes to see.

He always kept in mind Emperor Wen's teachings.

In the court, you are not afraid of making noise, but you are afraid of not being able to make a noise.

"Okay, okay!"

After a long time, Emperor Wen finally spoke, "Everyone, please rest first! My ears are going to be deafened by your noise!"

As Emperor Wen spoke, the court gradually became quiet.

However, Xiao Wanchou and Xue Che still stared at Xu Shifu and others.

"Everyone calm down!"

Seeing Emperor Wen speak, Yun Li also followed suit, "I know that you are all doing this for the good of the court, so there is no need to argue in a red-faced manner! What everyone said is reasonable. Whether to fight or not to fight, we have to consider the long term..."

Yun Li said something very official, but even if he said it, he didn't say it.

He has not made up his mind whether to fight or not.

Of course, this was the result Yunli wanted.

Of course Yunli didn't want to fight, but he couldn't say it.

Xiao Wanchou and Xue Che both have high reputations in the army. If he vetoed the initiative to go to war in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be tantamount to offending these two veterans?

He originally needed the support of these veterans, so naturally he couldn't do anything to offend others.

It would be the best choice to use people like Xu Shifu to quarrel with these two veterans, and when the time comes, he would step forward as a peacemaker.

"Correct!"

Emperor Wen agreed: "It's not a big deal if the quarrel continues like this! Didn't the Ministry of War send a letter of inquiry to Zhao Ji? When Zhao Ji's reply arrives, let's take a look at the situation and discuss it in detail!"

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone spoke together.

"Okay, let's retreat!"

Emperor Wen stood up and said, "We have been arguing for a long time. Go down and drink some tea to moisten your throat! I am so dizzy from your noise that I have to find a place to be quiet!"

After saying this, Emperor Wen called Yunli to leave the court with him.

"Retreat from the court..."

After Mu Shun announced loudly, he quickly followed Emperor Wen and Yun Li.

After leaving the court, Emperor Wen took Yunli directly to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

"Do you think we should take the initiative?"

Emperor Wen asked Yun Li.

"I think now is not the time to take the initiative."

Yun Li said seriously: "The imperial court does have many difficulties now. It will be detrimental to the imperial court to start another war."

"Well, I think so too." Emperor Wen nodded, "But I'm still a little worried about you."

Worried about yourself?

What do you have to worry about?

Hasn’t the arrogance of the clans and clans been somewhat suppressed?

What else are you worried about?

Could it be that he was worried that Lao Liu would be bad for him?

"My son is stupid, please let me know clearly."

Yun Li stopped and saluted respectfully.

"The human heart!"

Emperor Wen patted Yun Li on the shoulder and said, "Lao Liu has been opening up new territories, but we always dare not fight or cannot fight because of various difficulties! If this goes on for a long time, the hearts of the world may no longer be with you!" "

"This……"

Yun Li was speechless, his face full of bitterness.

It’s not like he doesn’t dare to fight!

I really can’t fight!

The imperial court still owes Lao Liu food!

The autumn harvest is still far away.

If you have no money or food, what can you use to fight?

We can't let the soldiers on the front line eat dirt, right?

However, the people of the world don't care how many difficulties the court has.

The people in the world only know that Yunzheng wins battles all day long and destroys the country at every turn.

But the imperial court was submissive and looked like a coward.

They won't even think about it. The reason why that bitch Lao Liu won so many battles is also due to the imperial court and him!

He gave both money and food, which is a huge credit!

Although, he did not give all this money and food willingly.

"I know your difficulties, and I came here the same way."

Emperor Wen smiled slightly and said: "If it is determined that the troops of the Moxi tribes on the northwest border are insufficient, we still have to fight. Even if you are just making a show, you have to make a move. Do you understand?"

Make a show?

Yun Li's heart moved.

That's true!

Anyway, it doesn’t cost much food to make a show.

It can also block everyone's mouth.

"Thank you, Father, for your advice!"

Half of the worries in Yun Li's heart dissipated instantly.

"Let's not talk about this between father and son."

Emperor Wen smiled and sat down in the pavilion in front. "To be honest, I used to think you were cheating and had some evil intentions! But now I realize that you are still too honest! Many things require cleverness. , don’t use brute force!”

Listening to Emperor Wen's evaluation of himself, Yun Li couldn't help but panic.

So honest!

Why does this sound like a curse?

This is like being cruel and cruel and doing a lot of bad things, and sometimes you feel guilty about it.

In the end, others will tell you: That's it?

No matter how I listen to it, it doesn’t feel right!

Yun Li suppressed the depression in his heart and said respectfully: "My son, please remember your father's teachings!"

"When it comes to doing things, learn more from Lao Liu! As a person, be yourself!"

Emperor Wen gave a serious lesson and asked, "Have you pressed your uncle too hard recently?"

"This... doesn't happen!"

Yun Li was suspicious, "Why does my father ask this?"

"Nothing, just asking." Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled, "Your uncle is still a very talented person! Looking at the entire Daqian, there are really few people who can manage the household department in an orderly manner like him! You If you keep pressing him down, he won’t be able to do things well! Sometimes, you still need to comfort him appropriately.”

Ok?

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li became even more suspicious.

Could it be that Xu Shifu went to his father to sue him?

Humph, is this called suppressing him?

Could it be that he wanted the imperial court to be his voice so that he wouldn't be oppressed?
