Chapter 281 Arrangement (two chapters in one)
"I have already made arrangements for this matter, Prince Yu doesn't have to worry. Mr. Su, are these children the ones who defeated Baili Qi in the hall before?" Shen Qingzhou said as he looked at the children whose temperaments had changed drastically.
Mei Changsu did not go to the palace alone, he brought three children with him. Mei Changsu wanted them to see the world, and he was really teaching the children.
Moreover, when he went to the palace this time, he would definitely make all the civil and military officials in the court accept his favor. He was very pessimistic. He was confident that he could repel Dayu, but that was going to war, and he didn't know if he could come back.
If he couldn't come back, the children would have to share a share of his contribution to the company.
As for overturning the verdict, he had already made arrangements. He thought that even if he left, Prince Jing would already know that the Red Flame Army was framed. If it were not for Shen Qingzhou and the attack from other countries, he would have been able to see it with his own eyes.
But now Daliang is in crisis, and he must complete his mission as Lin Shu.
"Yes." Mei Changsu bowed. Only now in the court could he truly realize how much pressure Shen Qingzhou could put on all the officials.
"They are indeed extraordinary. They can all become pillars of the court, especially him." Shen Qingzhou pointed at Xiao Tingsheng. Xiao Tingsheng was stunned for a moment. Mei Changsu remained calm on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart that although Nihuang and Shen Qingzhou were familiar with each other, he believed that Nihuang would definitely not tell Shen Qingzhou some things.
"Lord Shen can actually read faces." The prince said. The current prince and Prince Yu were very dissatisfied with Shen Qingzhou, so he was a little sarcastic.
"I can't read faces, but this boy has an extraordinary mind. Born in Ye Youting, he has seen the coldest and most despicable faces in the world. He doesn't show any resentment in his heart at the moment. Mr. Su has made an indelible contribution to this, but his talent is also extraordinary." Shen Qingzhou said.
"Master Shen, you are too kind." Mei Changsu said. He really didn't understand why he had accepted several children as his disciples but he didn't make it public.
"Lord Shen is wrong. What do you mean by the coldest and most despicable? Ye Youting is guilty and deserves this crime." The prince seemed to have caught something.
"Fourth brother, you are exaggerating too much. Those servants in Ye Youting are the kind of people who flatter the superiors and bully the subordinates." Huai Wang Xiao Jingli said.
"You are bold and careful, have a solid foundation, and are good at reading people's words and expressions. You should be called Tingsheng. You will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future." Shen Qingzhou said.
Xiao Tingsheng looked into Shen Qingzhou's eyes and lowered his head. He saw a look in the other's eyes that could see through everything, even though he himself didn't know his own life experience. However, he was very smart. He was rescued together with his eldest brother and third brother, but he was adopted as an adopted son by His Royal Highness Prince Jing. There must be a reason for this.
"Lord Shen knows Tingsheng quite well?" Mei Changsu stepped forward and blocked Tingsheng.
"His future is unmatched even by Mr. Su." Although Mei Changsu is capable, he is only a young marshal, while Xiao Tingsheng is the Prince of Changlin.
"Sir Shen, I don't know about the wars among the countries. As the commander-in-chief, do you have any strategies?" Prince Yu felt that Shen Qingzhou was delaying time, just a child.
"Sir Shen, the soldiers on the front line are fighting hard. It's not appropriate for us to talk about trivial things in the court," said the prince.
"Don't worry, Your Highnesses. I have already made all the arrangements." Shen Qingzhou said. This time, his strength could no longer be concealed.
"Then please ask Lord Shen to mobilize the troops." Prince Yu said, and the others were also looking at Shen Qingzhou to see how he would arrange it.
"Sand table." A sand table was pushed into the hall, and all the court officials surrounded the sand table.
"With Princess Nihuang in the southern border, Nan Chu dare not act rashly. Ye Qin has Duke Heng with 50,000 soldiers to contain them.
At present, there are only some rebellions in Beiyan, Dayu, Donghai, and Daliang. Our army has 150,000 soldiers and 20,000 new recruits. The troops are sufficient according to my plan. "
"Sir Shen, even if we have enough troops, in order to defeat a larger force with a smaller one, the generals leading the troops must be famous generals. We, the military marquises, are all old, and our most urgent task is to have a commander-in-chief and generals." said a military marquis.
"Don't worry, Marquis Huaiyi. I have my own arrangements. First of all, we will take care of the ten continents in the East China Sea. You can order General Meng Zhi to lead 50,000 troops to guard them."
"Meng Zhi." Many military officers whispered to each other. In fact, many people had guessed this. This time, more than half of the imperial guards would leave. Meng Zhi, as the commander of the imperial guards, had experience in the Red Flame Army, so there was no problem.
But many people thought that Meng Zhi wanted to deal with Dayu. Meng Zhi was still young and energetic, so he would definitely not refuse.
Meng Zhi was also confused. He actually knew in advance that he would lead troops to the battle. Shen Qingzhou had informed him in advance, but he did not expect that he would have to fight against the East China Sea. He was not good at naval battles.
"Meng Zhi." Prince Yu and the Crown Prince frowned slightly, but they had already guessed that Meng Zhi would definitely not be in Jinling City. In the eyes of outsiders, he was loyal to Emperor Liang. If Shen Qingzhou left Jinling City, his martial arts skills were unmatched. Does this mean that Shen Qingzhou was afraid of something and transferred him away? He himself would most likely not be able to stay in Jinling.
"Next, it's Northern Yan. Tuoba Hao led 50,000 soldiers into the Hetao area, rushing all the way. There must be some logistics problems.
He is going to the battle this time to gain prestige for the Seventh Prince, so he must fight quickly and decisively. I know a general who is good at fighting fast with fast. He has 50,000 soldiers, and the army and the people in Tanzhou are united. With 20,000 soldiers, 70,000 troops will definitely be able to resist Tuoba Hao. "Fight fast with fast", Mei Changsu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these four words.
"Lord Shen, this is a battle of life and death. I wonder which famous general it is?" Prince Yu reminded.
"This famous general does not want to reveal his name, but he is definitely well-known throughout the world. However, he needs the assistance of the Xuan Jing Division. Where is Xia Dong from the Xuan Jing Division?" Shen Qingzhou said.
"Xia Dong is here." Xia Dong was a little puzzled. Because of Xia Jiang's disappearance and Shen Qingzhou's intention to marginalize this department, she had not attended the court for a long time. It was Xia Chun who came, but today, she was suddenly ordered to go to the palace.
"I'm going to let you go with the army. This famous general has admired you for a long time." Shen Qingzhou said.
"Lord Shen, please be careful with your words. Xia Dong is a widower." Xia Dong raised her head and looked at Shen Qingzhou viciously. At the same time, Mei Changsu, Prince Jing and others felt disgusted with Shen Qingzhou. However, Mei Changsu was too smart and he had a terrible guess in his heart.
Shen Qingzhou has always been an upright person. Even though he is said to be a powerful official, he really takes care of the people in everything he does and is not a bully.
"Your Highness, please invite General Nie into the hall." Shen Qingzhou said without paying attention to others.
"Xuan."
When the name Nie came out, Mei Changsu felt very excited. Many people looked outside the hall to see who this famous general was.
I saw a creature wearing a white robe, but his hair was extremely thick and all white, and he looked like a monkey.
However, it can be seen that this person has a firm look in his eyes, as if he has seen a lot of things. When Mei Changsu saw this person, he recognized who he was at a glance, and his eyes were full of surprise.
At the same time, Xia Dong recognized at a glance that this was the person he had been thinking about for many years, and for a moment, tears welled up in his eyes.
After Nie Feng entered the palace, he saw Xia Dong and was excited. Although he knew that he would meet his wife at this time, he was still a little excited even though he was prepared. He also looked at a man dressed as a scholar. At this moment, he did not recognize that the other person was Lin Shu. It was Mei Changsu who took the initiative to say that the Qilin Concubine, and Prince Jing's mother could recognize her after various tests.
When he arrived in front of the sand table, he saluted Shen Qingzhou and King Huai. He was rescued by Shen Qingzhou, so he naturally knew that he would lead troops to fight against Beiyan. He was not unwilling to go to the battle with Xia Dong, and Shen Qingzhou was willing to reverse the verdict for the Chiyan Army in the future, so he was extremely happy.
"General Nie has encountered a great change. Now, he has just recovered and is not able to speak, but he admires Lord Xia Dong. I think Lord Xia Dong will be able to communicate with General Nie. Northern Yan's expedition depends on you two. Xia Dong, do you have any objection to letting you join the army in the northern expedition?" Shen Qingzhou said.
"I will follow the commander-in-chief's orders. Prime Minister Shen, rest assured that Xia Dong will live up to the mission." Xia Dong's attitude surprised all the officials in the court. The change was too fast.
"Sir Shen, who is this?" Because of Xia Dong's attitude, many people noticed something was wrong.
"I am the commander transferred to Beiyan. Everyone, next is Beiyan, which is also the country with the greatest threat this time. Everyone, is there anyone willing to lead the troops?" Shen Qingzhou said, not giving them the chance to doubt. Let them guess, what is there to be afraid of now?
His words made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. Who would go? Shouldn't you go? In fact, even if he said that he could win the battle, all the officials, including Prince Yu, believed him. Shen Qingzhou was in charge of the military department, and everything was in order, so it was known that he was a man who knew military affairs.
"Sir Shen, my father has ordered me to be the regent of the country, which is a heavy responsibility. Since all the military marquises are old, I am willing to lead the troops to the battle myself and will definitely not let Daliang lose an inch of our territory." Xiao Jingli's words made many people's CPUs burn.
Where does your confidence come from? Can you lead troops? Do you know how to set up camp? Do you know how to resist Dayu?
"Sixth brother, you must not do that."
"Your Highness." Many people were trying to stop him. This was not a game of house. Although everyone had their own thoughts, and even there was some tacit understanding about this matter, no one had thought of selling out the country.
Even if Shen Qingzhou didn't go, everyone thought it would be Prince Jing. However, no one knew whether he would take the initiative to go. After all, from the previous few times, he had never thought about leading troops.
"Your Highness Prince Huai is indeed a member of the royal family, full of passion and strong character. At this moment, the other military marquises are too old to lead the troops, but Your Highness can take the initiative to go to the front line as a prince to fight against Dayu.
His Highness Prince Huai is acting as regent for Your Majesty, and the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country. Your Majesty really didn't make a mistake in choosing him." Shen Qingzhou echoed the words without hesitation.
Especially this sentence, his tongue was as loud as thunder. In the palace, Emperor Liang's bedroom heard Shen Qingzhou's words, and many people outside the imperial city also heard it.
"The emperor guards the national border and the king dies for his country. Haha, the emperor guards the national border, Xiao Jingli, Shen Zheng, your literary talent is unparalleled in the world, but haha." Emperor Liang wanted to laugh, but he also felt emotional about these ten words.
"The emperor guards the national border." Prince Yu and the Crown Prince's faces changed drastically. Even Mei Changsu could not remain calm. Shen Qingzhou's ten words were a bit too foul. If Xiao Jingli returned victorious, how great would his reputation be.
However, many people immediately felt relieved. They wondered whether Xiao Jingli had the ability to lead troops to fight.
"Your Highness, you must not do that. Lord Shen, what are you thinking? Your Highness is the regent. If he goes to the front line, what will the court do, unless His Majesty is asked to leave." Marquis Huai Yi said.
"Marquis Huai Yi, there is no need to say more. The country is in a critical moment right now, but my father has been ill for a long time and has not recovered. However, now we have the cabinet, Lord Shen, and all the princes and ministers, so nothing will happen for a while." Prince Huai said.
"This." Many people felt uncomfortable. Everyone knew that Prince Huai was a mascot. As long as Shen Zheng was there, there would be no change in the court.
Mei Changsu was also watching the excitement. He didn't expect that Shen Qingzhou had already made all the arrangements, the most important of which was Nie Feng.
He looked at Shen Qingzhou. Although he didn't know his plan, he felt that since he was able to find Nie Feng back and had his abilities, he didn't seem to need him much.
It is certain that Nie Feng can deal with Tuoba Hao. By using speed against speed, General Swift Wind is not just a name.
As for Meng Zhi, naval battles are indeed not his forte, but he can still defend. As for Dayu, Xiao Jingli has some backup plans.
"As for the rebellious provincial government, I am stationed in Jinling and can suppress it single-handedly." Shen Qingzhou's tone was full of confidence.
"Sir Shen, your marching formation is too dangerous. If Sir Shen goes to the battle personally, we have faith in his ability, but."
"I am the commander-in-chief of this mission. I am willing to take all the responsibilities. If anything goes wrong, I am willing to surrender myself and become a commoner, and sacrifice my life for my country." Shen Qingzhou said.
"The border is about to be breached, but your death cannot offset it."
"My Lords, if there is anyone willing to take the initiative to go to the battle, please feel free to recommend yourself." Shen Qingzhou said, but no one responded.
All the civil and military officials in the court were suppressed by Shen Qingzhou and Prince Huai, but many people were already a little desperate. One was a famous general who came from nowhere, and the other was a prince who was famous for eating, drinking and having fun. Only Meng Zhi was reliable. What should they do?
"Everyone, the army is dispatched, please cooperate with us fully. General Nie, Commander Meng, please follow me and Your Highness to the Ministry of War." Shen Qingzhou said. What else could everyone say?
Today, Jinling is controlled by Shen Qingzhou, and no one can do anything about it. Who is he? Is he really not afraid of the country's destruction?
Prince Yu and the Crown Prince tried to find a way to meet Emperor Liang, but unfortunately, Prince Huai had already ordered all the imperial guards to protect them.
"Sir Shen, Mr. Su is extremely wise. I think he has some solutions to the war." Meng Zhi took the initiative to speak up for his good friend.
As for Prince Jing, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he couldn't bring up this issue now. As for Mei Changsu, he planned to test the waters later.
"I was just about to invite Mr. Su." Shen Qingzhou didn't care.
In a carriage, Xia Dong held Nie Feng's hand. She was no longer pretending.
"I was in the mountains before, and I was not in my right mind. After I was caught, Lord Shen saved me in some way. I woke up some time ago. Lord Shen said that the price of curing me is to be able to meet you, and if there is a chance, I can also overturn the case for the Red Flame Army.
I wanted to see you, but I couldn't speak, and I was afraid of ruining Lord Shen's plan." Nie Feng took out a piece of paper with everything written on it.
"I know, I know." Xia Dong couldn't help but hugged Nie Feng, regaining what he had lost.
……
"You said that was Nie Feng. No wonder I felt so familiar with him. General Nie, who uses speed to fight speed. General Jifeng, will not let Tuoba Hao have an easy time." Meng Zhi was surprised when he learned Nie Feng's identity from Mei Changsu.
(Are you really unwilling to support next month's votes? I beg you.)
