Chapter 210 Argument in Court

above the hall.

The emperor circulated the secret letter to all civil and military officials, and there was an uproar.

"You have such a wicked ambition! You are such a scoundrel from the Western Regions! How dare you massacre our soldiers? Damn it!"

The first to speak was General Gao Zhenyang, the Protector of the Nation. He was a man of broad build, eight feet tall, and his old face was filled with anger, as if he wanted to rush over and kill him.

"This is intolerable! Your Majesty, please issue an order. This general is willing to go and conquer the Western Regions!" General Zhenbei was unwilling to be outdone. He looked gentle and refined, but had a very loud voice.

The roar was so loud that many people covered their ears.

The other generals also clasped their hands together and asked to go into battle.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

The people of the Western Regions changed their minds and started killing civilians and soldiers for no reason. The brave generals were all glaring and ready to fight.

In comparison, the civil officials were much calmer.

After Prime Minister Wang's lineage was eliminated, many new nobles emerged in the court.

For example, the above-mentioned people in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were all newly promoted.

The two men looked at each other, and the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Tianzheng, stepped forward first. "Your Majesty, I truly believe we should conduct a more thorough investigation before making a final decision!"

"Since ancient times, before the army moves, food and fodder must be sent first. Moreover, if a single move affects the entire body, if something really breaks out, the people will ultimately suffer. Moreover..."

Although there was a lot of silver in the warehouse, there was not enough food and fodder.

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

The emperor looked at him indifferently, and finally his gaze fell on the Minister of War Li Guangyang.

Seeing he couldn't escape, the Minister of War stepped forward and said, "I second the proposal. Chen also believes that a thorough investigation should be conducted before making a final decision!"

"Old man, you cowards, have you become stupid from studying? The enemy has already come to your doorstep, and you are still making decisions? If you want to make a decision, do your own research. I can't stand it, I'm going to charge!"

"Right, right, right, you guys are just cowards. You only know about Zhihu every day and never think about the people in the world. Those people died to protect the people. Do you want them to die in vain?"

The generals were all on one side, they rolled up their sleeves and looked like they were ready to charge forward immediately.

As for the civil officials, they were indignant when they saw that they were all rude and ignorant of etiquette.

"You warriors only know how to wield swords and spears. Do you know how much money a large army will need once it goes to war? How much silver is needed?"

"If the treasury doesn't have enough money, taxes will have to be increased, and in the end, the people will be the ones who suffer!"

Civil officials and military generals have always been at odds.

For a moment, the two sides started arguing.

They exchanged sharp words and neither side gave in.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides almost came to blows.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, his majestic gaze falling on everyone, and finally glanced at Xu Feng.

He knew that these officials in the capital were used to a stable life and did not want to fight.

But what is tolerable is intolerable.

After the civil and military officials argued for a while, the emperor threw the teacup heavily to the ground.

"Minister of War, let me ask you again, do we have enough soldiers and weapons now?"

The Minister of War thought carefully and nodded, "Your Majesty, we have sufficient weapons and troops."

The emperor turned his gaze to the Minister of Revenue and asked, "I am asking if you have sufficient food and fodder."

"This……"

The Minister of Revenue hesitated for a moment and said, "The treasury has enough silver, but no granary!"

There is nothing you can't buy with money.

Xu Feng glanced at the Minister of Revenue indifferently.

Some people are drifting.

The Minister of Revenue has children in the palace.

In the past, Prime Minister Wang’s family was the only one in power in the court, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Since the fall of Prime Minister Wang, the Minister of Revenue has been relying on the Empress in the palace to start his own affairs.

Now I am starting to have some small ideas.

If I'm not mistaken, they want to slowly take the Ministry of Revenue's money for themselves.

Sadly.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

But some people's ambitions grow too quickly.

Xu Feng was thinking when he felt a cold gaze looking at him.

As his thoughts returned, he heard the emperor's voice, "Prince Fuguo, what do you think?"

Of course not.

As the emperor, since he couldn't convince others, he wanted him to be the gun god.

Really speechless.

I only eat the king's food and share his worries.

Since we are enjoying the nourishment of the country's destiny, we must contribute our part.

Xu Feng stood up with his hands clasped together, "I believe we should send troops and will not tolerate traitors!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were quickly opposed by the civil officials. They were all filled with righteous indignation, and their saliva flew everywhere, as if they were the enemy who killed their father.

It is not an exaggeration to attack them in groups.

Especially those white-haired old men, who all cited scriptures as their arguments.

I wish I could just crush him to death.

Xu Feng knew that he had been too prominent recently and had caused people to hate him.

But I didn't expect that I would become the enemy of the people without realizing it.

It would have been fine if the civil officials scolded him, but the military generals also looked like they were watching the fun.

I was isolated without realizing it.

Xu Feng cleared his throat and fired at full force, "You guys are so hypocritical, but you're just afraid of death. Since you won't help those soldiers get revenge, how about letting you guard the border?"

He walked up to the Minister of War and said, "You are well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics and have so many profound truths. Why don't you go and talk to them and see if they can be convinced by you?"

The Minister of War was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You you you you..."

"Alright, alright, you can't even speak clearly. If you really can't do it, just go home and retire! Do your job! You're so greedy for life and afraid of death, and you're still trying to be the Minister of War. The soldiers are ruthless, and the generals are ruthless. People like you are not fit to be officials."

"you……"

The Minister of War was so angry that his eyes widened and he couldn't breathe.

Plop.

Passed out.

Xu Feng jumped three feet high and quickly retreated, keeping his distance. "Look carefully, he fainted because he was weak. It has nothing to do with me. Come, carry him away quickly!"

Knock one down.

Xu Feng set his eyes on the Minister of Revenue again. "You are in charge of the country's money and grain, but you don't care about the people and soldiers at the border. Otherwise, I will send you and your family there and see if you can use your eloquence to make the Western Regions behave themselves."

"Special matters require special treatment. Those ambitious people in the Western Regions should be suppressed with lightning speed, rather than whining non-stop here. If you can speak, I'll send you over there to tell them!"

"you you you……"

The Minister of Revenue is over sixty years old and his fighting ability is astonishingly poor.

The round is not over yet.

He rolled his eyes and fainted.

He angered two ministers in succession.

Xu Feng defeated ten opponents with his own strength, and raised his chin proudly, "These people are too weak. If anyone wants to say anything, I will take him to the Western Regions to have his say!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar below.

Those people were filled with righteous indignation and discontent in their hearts, but on the surface they did not dare to say another word.

They studied poetry and books for many years in order to serve the court, not to lead troops to fight.
