Chapter 1036: Attack the Court! (4)

Chapter 1036

The grand master is the head of the three princes and the leader of civil servants. Obviously, his words have already had an impact on the holy emperor. Although it was just the words "I know" and did not express his attitude, compared to the previous court struggles, this was already a great change and favor.

"Not good!"

In the hall, the hearts of all the generals were heavy. With the weight of the grand master, the holy emperor's mind obviously began to tilt towards the civil servants. The situation in Talas is urgent, and there have been several urgent letters asking for help. If the resolution cannot be passed and troops are sent to Talas, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi and the others will almost certainly be defeated.

These are the two imperial guards!

In the main hall, seeing that the situation was not good, the Holy Emperor was about to make a decision. At this moment, a breeze blew, and a stream of air flowed in from the main hall. At the same time, everyone heard a voice in their ears:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

Before the voice fell, a gentle aura, like the sun shining on the earth, suddenly appeared in everyone's perception. At the entrance of the main hall, a light flashed, an old figure with white beard and hair, wearing a white cloth robe, with a straight body, crossed the threshold and walked in slowly.

Wow, seeing that figure, the whole hall was suddenly in an uproar.

"Nine... Jiugong!"

I don't know who called it out. In an instant, all the generals were erupting, while many civil servants were stunned. Even the master who was about to turn around and sit down in the main hall was shocked, and his heart sank suddenly. .

Great Tang Jiugong!

Shengshi Xianxiang!

The most respected and respected existence in the entire Tang Empire. Even though he has abdicated for decades and lives in seclusion in the Sifang Pavilion, he still has great influence and prestige both inside and outside the court. In this aspect, I am afraid that even the Grand Master cannot compare with it.

And the word "Jiu Gong" is enough to represent everything.

"Father!"

Standing in the main hall, Wang Gen's heart was shocked. He didn't expect his father to appear at this time. Just as he was about to go, Jiugong gave Wang Gen a look, and Wang Gen stopped immediately.

"Teacher, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Wang Jiuling leaned on a crutch, looked at the hall and smiled slightly, then stepped up.

"Jiugong!"

"Jiugong!"

"Jiugong!"

...

Looking at this old figure, all the civil and military ministers in the hall, no matter whether they are literary or martial arts, bowed their heads respectfully, and retreated to the two sides to make way for Jiu Gong. Even an existence like Taishi Ling Yan Wenzhang's expression became serious, with a look of admiration on his face, he saluted respectfully, and stepped aside.

As one of the founders of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Jiugong's influence in the court is unimaginable to everyone. Even many ministers in the court grew up listening to the legend of Jiugong.

clatter! clatter!

Leaning on a white wooden crutch, Jiu Gong walked slowly towards the main hall, and the crisp sound echoed throughout the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Jiu Ling met His Majesty!"

After walking a few zhang, Jiu Gong stopped suddenly, bowed slightly, and bowed respectfully towards the figure behind the bead curtain at the top of the main hall.

"You're here too."

A voice came from the main hall, the voice was still high and majestic, but it was like a wrinkled pool of water, revealing a hint of gentleness.

Shenghuang and Jiugong, one monarch and one minister, the monarch benevolent and the minister respectful, complement each other, and jointly created the Tang Dynasty for 30 years, an unprecedented prosperity, which is passed down as a good story of the Tang Dynasty. Although Jiu Gong has resigned from the position and retired for dozens of years, it is obvious that he still has extraordinary weight in the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties and the Holy Emperor.

On the other side, the Grand Master's heart sank. Although Jiu Gong and Shenghuang only said a simple sentence, the friendship between the monarch and his ministers revealed in it made the Grand Master's eyelids twitch wildly.

"Jiu Ling, did you come here for your grandson this time?"

The grand master cut straight to the point, with extremely sharp eyes.

"Yes and no."

Jiu Gong smiled and said calmly.

"During the Tang Dynasty's regulations, during court discussions, all relevant personnel, including relatives, are all avoided. Jiu Ling must know this."

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the only person who could directly call the word "Jiu Ling" was the grand master who was the leader of civil servants. Both of them are veterans of the two dynasties, and they are also past ancient times.

"Do not avoid enemies by exercising externally, and do not avoid relatives by exercising internally."

Jiugong smiled slightly.

"However, Wang Chong is your own grandson!"

The grand master looked sharply at Jiu Gongdao.

"Hehe, Zhong Mi is still the same as before, nothing has changed."

Jiugong smiled calmly, like a spring breeze blowing, turning the Taishi's attack into invisible. The grand master has high morals and high prestige. Even veteran and important officials like Jiang Yuanrang and Yan Wenzhang, and even royal princes like King Song and King Qi, have to be respectful and respectful in front of the grand master. I am afraid that apart from Jiugong, there is no one else.

"Although the matter of Talas was caused by my stubborn grandson, what was involved was the root of the court's 'war' and 'peace'. Therefore, although Wang Chong is my grandson, he did not Don't shy away."

Jiu Gong stretched out his crutches and continued to walk forward.

In the court hall, everyone's eyes turned to Jiu Gong one after another. Jiugong walked very slowly, but very steadily. Looking at the figure, everyone felt a strange sense of harmony in their hearts, as if the spring rain moistened things, silently, and integrated with the whole world.

Above the main hall, the grand master's face had already turned ashen. This is not an ordinary court dispute, but involves the root of civil and military disputes. At this time, the last thing he wants to see is Wang Jiuling.

"Jiu Ling also heard what the Grand Master said just now. This time, Jiu Ling made an exception and left the Sifang Pavilion and set foot in the court. He only wanted to say one thing, 'peace can survive through war, and peace can perish through peace'. So Back then, when the old minister was prime minister, the East and West Turkic Khanate invaded the frontiers. Although he could choose peace talks, the veteran still led the army to the Turkic prairie without hesitation and defeated the Turks. It was because of this battle that the success of the next ten years was achieved. Taiping, the Turkic people dare not invade the border easily."

"The big cannibal has never had any contact with the empire. If he seeks peace without a war, it will inevitably make the other party feel neglected and underestimate the Tang Dynasty. The future wars may be endless. Therefore, for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty and for the people of the world, the veteran thinks that Therefore, it is the best policy to rush to help Talas as soon as possible."

After saying the last sentence, Jiu Gong straightened his body, flicked his sleeves slightly, and bowed respectfully.

Needle drop can be heard on the main hall, Jiugong is highly respected and famous all over the world. He is a virtuous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the founder of the prosperous age. In his capacity, these words are truly loud and have extraordinary weight. Because this is not only his point of view in the Talas incident, but also his experience in governance that he has shared for decades, which no one can deny.

Denying Jiugong is tantamount to denying the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the current peace.

For a moment, the entire hall was extremely silent, and everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces, even Yan Wenzhang, Zheng Chengli, Zhou Taiqin and others were silent and thoughtful.

"Very good."

Under the porch pillar, King Song heaved a long sigh of relief. Even he didn't expect that Jiu Gong would leave Sifang Pavilion and arrive at this time. The grand master is a veteran of the two dynasties, and his status is extremely important. Even he, a prince, speaks in front of the grand master, and his weight is not enough. If it weren't for Jiugong, I'm afraid the matter of Talas would be settled and the troops would really withdraw.

Datang's operation in the Western Regions will be completely destroyed. The tripartite alliance of Dashi, Uzang, and Western Turks will destroy the previous hard work, and the disaster will never end.

"Damn old thing, spoil my good deeds!"

The one who was most annoyed at this moment was King Qi, he gritted his teeth with an extremely resentful look on his face. Originally thought that with the help of civil servants this time, he could completely suppress King Song and the Wang family lineage, but he didn't expect that a Jiu Gong would immediately make him fail. And the Grand Master Zhan Zhongmi in the main hall already had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"Jiu Ling, don't forget, you are from the line of civil servants!!"

Zhan Zhongmi finally couldn't help reminding.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, the most serious civil and military dispute in history, the final turning point did not come from martial arts, but literary methods, which Zhan Zhongmi never expected.

"Hehe, it's been so many years. Zhong Mi was like this when he was with the teacher. How come he still doesn't understand and is still sticking to the views of civil and military? In Jiu Ling's heart, there is no distinction between civil and military, only the unity of family and country. Everything The Tang Dynasty, the country, the country, and the common people are the most important things. The only way to achieve peace in the affairs of Taros is to ask for war, and if you ask for peace, there is only war. This is why Jiuling supports the rush to help the Northwest!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Jiu Gong's voice was resounding, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Do not avoid enemies when exercising externally, and do not avoid relatives when exercising internally", there is no distinction between civil and military in the heart, everything is family and country, this is Jiu Gong!

——This is easy to say, but how many people can do it?

"Buzz!"

As soon as Jiu Gong's voice fell, the court hall was buzzing. All the ministers looked at each other and talked a lot. Everyone only knew that Jiugong and Taishi belonged to Wen Dao, but according to Jiugong's meaning, the two were still classmates at that time. This relationship made everyone stunned.

"Your Majesty, the veteran objected! Although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike! Years of wars in the Tang Dynasty have cost the country a huge amount of money. It is not appropriate to start a war with Dashi!"

The grand master said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I seconded the old master!"

At this moment, a sonorous voice sounded. Beside the Panlong Pillar, King Qi's face turned cold, and he came out suddenly, echoing loudly. Jiugong's words in the court hall are too heavy, and King Qi is worried that if he doesn't speak now, he will have no chance later.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

...

With the Grand Master and King Qi speaking, among the civil servants, the resolute anti-war faction spoke again, but the number of them was far less than before. Obviously, Jiugong's prestige and influence in the court began to play a role.
