Chapter 1103 Disbelief and Opposition

"Master Zhao, don't be too happy yet." Compared with Zhao Xingnian's excitement, Cai Cheng was definitely not in a good mood, "This memorial said that in addition to repelling the Blackwater Kingdom's army, Wu Fan also He also killed a member of the Shuiyue Kingdom’s royal family. Can the people of the Shuiyue Kingdom tolerate this? In my opinion, although the crisis in the Blackwater Kingdom has been resolved, the crisis in the Shuiyue Kingdom is not far away. Compared to Blackwater Country and Shuiyue Country are undoubtedly more powerful, and Wu Fan has put our Nanping Country in a more dangerous environment."

What Liu Zhenyan said before was not wrong. Although Cai Cheng has been ignored by Wu Ya, after all, he has been the Minister of the Ministry of War for many years and has been in the army for many years. He has all the connections. Compared with other Several ministers and Cai Cheng must be better informed about the news in the army.

In fact, before Pei Yu's side sent the memorial to Fengyu City, Cai Cheng already knew the situation at Shanling Pass. After all, from the end of the Shanling Pass defensive battle to the time when the memorial was sent, it took a few seconds. Hell, Cai Cheng already has his own network in the army. In addition, Wu Fan is at Shanling Pass, and he pays more attention to Shanling Pass. Therefore, these few days are enough for him to learn a lot of news. .

Because of this, Cai Cheng knew about the great victory at Shanling Pass a few days ago. This is also the reason why he is in a bad mood these days. Of course, he is in a bad mood. In addition to Wu Fan's great victory at Shanling Pass, Also because the people he sent to assassinate Wu Fan failed, and his confidants Chen Yufei and others were also eliminated. It can be said that his influence in Shanling Pass has been reduced to the minimum. In this case, he It's strange that my mood can be good.

"Master Cai is worrying too much." As soon as Cai Cheng finished speaking, Liu Zhenyan spoke: "Our Nanping Country not only borders the Blackwater Country, but also borders the Yanfeng Country. It is a barrier in front of the Yanfeng Country. , if the Blackwater Kingdom comes to attack us, the Yanfeng Kingdom may still be worried about participating directly, but if the Shuiyue Kingdom directly attacks us, then the Yanfeng Kingdom will never sit idly by and ignore it. It is impossible to watch us being annexed by the Shuiyue Kingdom. The envoys sent by the Yanfeng Kingdom have made this point clear. "

Qin Wei glanced at Liu Zhenyan slightly, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Liu Zhenyan, the Minister of Punishment, has always been a bit independent. Even when the late emperor was in power, he rarely participated in the disputes in the court. It seemed that he only cared about the things he was responsible for, and he was not willing to waste time on other things. energy.

But everything seems to have changed after Wu Ya ascended the throne. Regarding Wu Fan's previous affairs, although Liu Zhenyan did not have as strong support as Zhao Xingnian, he was leaning towards Wu Ya and Wu Fan. Now, Liu Zhenyan is He stood up again, and although what he said seemed fair, he was obviously still on the side of Wu Fan and Wu Ya.

All this seems unusual.

"Yanfeng Kingdom?" Cai Cheng sneered: "If Shuiyue Kingdom is a tiger and leopard, then Yanfeng Kingdom is a wolf! They can't really help us!"

"Regardless of whether the Yanfeng Kingdom is a wolf or not, at least under the current circumstances, if the Shuiyue Kingdom attacks our Nanping Kingdom, the Yanfeng Kingdom will never sit idly by and ignore it. The Shuiyue Kingdom will definitely be afraid of the Yanfeng Kingdom, so we Nanping Country is not as dangerous as Mr. Cai said. Marshal Wu severely damaged the Blackwater Kingdom and solved the crisis in our Nanping Kingdom. This is a great achievement. We sincerely ask your Majesty to reward Marshal Wu greatly!" Liu Zhenyan said.

Liu Zhenyan's last words were obviously addressed to Wu Ya.

Wu Ya nodded and said: "According to the descriptions of the border officers in the memorial, Wu Fan indeed made the greatest contribution in this war. He deserves a reward, a heavy reward!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!" As soon as Wu Ya finished speaking, Jiang Yun stood up and said anxiously: "Wu Fan is already a very popular minister at a young age, with the title of marquis and the title of commander-in-chief of the armed forces. It would be quite inappropriate to reward him again.”

"Master Jiang, what you mean is that Wu Fan has made such a big contribution this time, and I can't show any thanks at all? If you do this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the generals in the army? Who will be willing to work for me and the court in the future? Fight to the death?" Wu Ya said in a cold tone.

"It doesn't mean that he can't show anything at all. Your Majesty can reward him in terms of money. As for the title and official position, I think it's not appropriate to reward him anymore." Jiang Yun said. He also knew that Wu Fan had made such a great contribution. If he didn't show up at all, No, it was obviously inappropriate, but he didn't want Wu Fan's position to be improved, so he could only think of a way from the financial perspective.

Wu Ya was about to speak, but Cai Cheng spoke first: "Your Majesty, I think Lord Jiang's words are reasonable. Wu Fan was suddenly promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and was granted the title of Marquis, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people. If he continues Rewarding him with titles and positions will definitely make more people dissatisfied."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, let them go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds! If they can get the same credit as Wu Fan, then I will naturally not be stingy with rewards!" Wu Ya said coldly: "I'm afraid some people haven't done it yet. On the battlefield, you are already timid before fighting. What you think about is not how to defeat the enemy, but how to lose power and humiliate the country and want peace talks! "

Wu Ya's words made Jiang Yun, Jiao Zhiyuan and Cai Cheng embarrassed. Even Qin Wei's expression changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, you need to think twice about rewards." Although Cai Cheng was a little embarrassed by Wu Ya, he did not give up stopping Wu Ya from rewarding Wu Fan: "Wei Chen feels that there is something fishy about this matter. Wu Fan is so young. , How can we command an army of more than 100,000 people, and also rely on an army of more than 100,000 people to defeat an enemy army that is several times larger than our own? "

"What does Lord Cai mean by that? If you can't do it yourself, you won't allow others to do it?" Wu Ya mocked.

Cai Cheng's face was even more embarrassed. When the war just happened, he did say that he was not sure. He was telling the truth at that time, but he never thought that Wu Fan actually did it.

Of course, he would not admit that Wu Fan did it.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Cai said is not without reason." Qin Wei, who had been silent all the time, said: "Although Lord Wu is very capable, this matter is indeed too incredible. For the sake of safety, it is better to investigate this matter clearly. After the investigation, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to reward. At that time, I believe that no one will object to anything."

Qin Wei's words seemed impartial, but in fact, he also did not believe that Wu Fan could command 100,000 troops and defeat 400,000 enemy troops.

The atmosphere in the imperial study became a little solemn, and Wu Ya's face was almost full of anger.
