Chapter 55 She likes this
Zongze and Lu Haowen, who had just been rescued and were standing at the back of the court in plain clothes, looked at each other when they heard this. The two old men instantly understood Qin Hui's intention.
This guy who brought disaster to the country and the people took advantage of Shen Wanshu to form a private army without forming combat power, so that she could lead the troops to confront Liu Yu head-on.
Although Liu Yu, the rebellious traitor, had defected to the Jin people, he had many elite soldiers and generals. If he really wanted to fight head-on, he might be able to destroy the 10,000+ troops she had just formed.
Shen Wanshu was defeated. Even if she could come back alive, she would be further held accountable by Qin Hui, and you can imagine her fate.
If Shen Wanshu wins, it will give him the excuse to say that Shen Wanshu is too powerful and the court cannot control it. She will also die by then, and he will not be spared either.
All in all, Qin Hui's move will benefit him regardless of the outcome.
Now what the two old men hope is that she will be smarter and not agree to this matter. After all, the emperor's order is there, and the officials may not follow Qin Hui's advice.
But these two old men guessed wrong again!A crisp sound resounded throughout the court.
"Okay!"
The ministers were shocked. Everyone in the court who was not an old fox knew Qin Hui's intentions, but this young man actually agreed for Shen Wanshu!As if this was a sure thing.
Is it that simple?No! Huaibei's envoy Han Shizhong was stationed in Xuzhou. After several battles with the puppet Qi's [-] troops, he managed to block the enemy in Shangzhou north of Xuzhou.
Who is Han Shizhong? He joined the army at that time and made many military exploits in the war against Xixia, which frightened everyone in , Wang Zhen suppressed Fangla's uprising.
After the war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty broke out, he led his troops to fight in many places and escorted the officials' family to the south. He defeated the large number with less on many occasions. He was called the Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the time.
She, Shen Wanshu, is just an ordinary woman. How can He De be compared with Han Shizhong?If she is sent to confront Liu Yu's tiger and wolf troops this time, she will definitely lose.
Qin Hui saw that the young man named Zhao Luo actually agreed. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled proudly. The young man just didn't know how to advance or retreat!Do you think Liu Yu is really a paper tiger? Even though he is a paper tiger, there is the real tiger of the golden man behind him.
Zhao Gou hesitated...
He is not stupid either. Qin Hui made it clear that he wanted Shen Wanshu to die, but if he really lost the battle, it would be the Song Dynasty that would lose face!But if she is not sent, how can we know the strength of the private soldiers she recruited?
Now that Han Shizhong has been stationed in Xuzhou for a long time and cannot defend Lin'an, if the Jin invades south again, the Song Dynasty will inevitably fight on two sides.
The two old men couldn't help it any longer. Zongze, who was standing in the last row, shouted, "If the officials really send troops to Xuzhou, the old ministers are willing to go! Don't let a woman lead the troops in the war. It will make us look like the great Song Dynasty." unmanned."
Qin Hui interrupted Zongze before he could finish his words, "Shut up! How can you lead troops to fight with a sinful body? If you are granted military power, what if you unite with Liu Yu and the Jin people to counterattack our Song Dynasty?" I am not following your wishes."
This time, Zhao Gou stood by Qin Hui! Zongze does know how to fight, but precisely because he knows how to fight, we must guard against his mutiny!It is indeed difficult for him to usurp the throne as he is older, but he still has a son, so it may not be impossible to help his son take the throne.
Lu Yihao, Zhu Shengfei and other ministers also knew the purpose of Qin Hui's idea, but they also wanted to test whether this woman named Shen Wanshu could create another miracle, so they remained silent about Qin Hui's idea.
Even if this person named Shen Wanshu did not defeat Liu Yu, they would rely on the emperor's edict to exonerate Zong and Zhao Gou glanced around, he said, "In that case, according to what Prime Minister Qin said, from now on we will not hold Shen Wanshu, Zongze and Lu Haowen accountable for their crimes. Zongze and Lu Haowen are temporarily living in Lin'an. Shen Wanshu was appointed as the envoy to the East Road of Tokyo, and her private soldiers were organized into the Dongming Army, and she was ordered to follow the imperial edict to fight against the thieves! Li Gang led the rest of Kaifeng's troops to camp north of the Yellow River, to be on guard against the Jin people waiting for an opportunity to move south."
"When Shen Wanshu returns victoriously, and Zong Ze and Zong Ze are reinstated in their posts, she will be rewarded separately for her merits."
As soon as Zhao Gou finished speaking, the officials stood up one after another and said, "Guan family, this matter must not be done. Since ancient times, leading troops in war has been a matter for men. How can Shen Wanshu, a woman under the age of twenty, lead the troops?" Decency?"
"That's right, when will the Song Dynasty need women to charge into battle?"
"For a woman to lead the army is an ominous sign..."
Zhao Yingluo saw that these pedantic officials actually thought it was an ominous sign for her to lead the army. She was so angry that she flung her sleeves and cursed, "Unknown, you big-headed ghost! Since you think there is no need for women to charge into battle, why don't you go? Kongzai The court opened its mouth and barked like a dog, are you a man? If I were you, if I couldn't put forward practical suggestions for the country and the people, I should find a rope and cut it off myself..."
The officials were confused by Zhao Yingluo's scolding. This... is this the adopted son of the Supreme Emperor?Why is it so vulgar?
Seeing that the officials were still arguing in the court, Zhao Gou immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, "I have made up my mind. Please stop criticizing and dismiss the court."
……
When Qin Hui saw that the official finally acted according to his advice, his face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile. Shen Wanshu, Shen Wanshu, you should not, you should not, you should not pay attention to my father-in-law, you can't do that 100 million acres of land. Did you get it?If you take it, what should I take? The rest of the courtiers had different reactions to this result. Some were gloating about the misfortune, some were shaking their heads and sighing, and some believed that the officials did not do things properly.
After the court broke up, Zongze and his wife were put under house arrest in a vacant house in Lin'an. The house was quite large and comfortable to live in.
After dinner, Fu Sheng had a rare half-day free. The two old men sat in a pavilion by the lake and began to criticize Zhao Yingluo.
Zongze frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and said in a complaining tone, "This girl Wanshu is really too reckless. If she is recognized, she will lose her head."
Lu Haowen sighed. He thought he knew Her Highness the Princess well enough, but he didn't expect that she would actually agree to go and attack Liu Yu in front of the officials. One general's achievements would lead to thousands of bones being withered. It was so easy to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. ?
"Old General, I'm not worried about anyone recognizing her. What I'm worried about is her ability to lead troops in war!"
"Who can help but worry? She does know how to farm, but how can leading an army in a war be the same as farming? Has she read "Six Secrets" and "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu? If she were here now, I would definitely scold her like a bastard. Shower your head."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice came from not far away, "Who wants to scold her to pieces?"
When the two old men heard this familiar voice, they were startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, stood up and looked not far away.
Under the dim moonlight, Zhao Yingluo, who was disguised as a man, walked towards the two of them with relaxed steps.
"You...why are you here? Aren't you afraid that Qin Hui will send someone to communicate with you and accuse you of 'forming a party for personal gain' in the court tomorrow?"
