As soon as this statement came out, many ministers echoed it.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Shangshu's strategy to recruit peace is to seek the country through old age."

He Shen stood up and seemed to have forgotten that he and Zhao Kuangyin were not able to deal with each other.

"It's exactly what the Lord said."

"Before the flood, the followers of the White Lotus Sect were all common people. They were coerced."

"The White Lotus Sect still has hundreds of thousands of believers, and more than half of them dare to fight. If we suppress them blindly, when will we be able to calm down?"

Officials from Heshen's faction also spoke according to the prevailing situation.

"No!"

A sharp shout interrupted He Shen who was about to say something more. The person who spoke was Wang Fangqing, the Minister of Personnel.

Wang Fangqing, whose real name is Lin, is also given the courtesy name Fangqing.

This Wang Fangqing was an old minister of the late emperor. When Li Zhao was born, he served as a soldier in the Prince's Mansion and was later promoted to be a member of the Prince's Mansion.

He can be described as a die-hard princeling.

Now that Li Zhao has ascended the throne, Wang Fangqing first served as the chief historian of Jingluo, and then was promoted to the official Diao Guanglu. Now he is ranked as the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, with a rank of third rank.

In court.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in charge of the promotion and removal of officials, Wang Fangqing has great authority.

It is said that this person's ancestor is more famous.

There was a man in my ancestors named Wang Xizhi.

"Your Majesty, the thieves of the White Lotus Sect are very powerful. If they are easily recruited, they may be resurrected!"

Wang Fangqing opposed this policy of recruiting peace.

"Wang Shangshu, do you know that the national treasury is short of money and food, and it is no longer able to supply the Beijing camp to fight again!"

When He Shen saw this stubborn old man speaking, he felt a little troubled in his heart, but he immediately started to explain.

Wang Fangqing did not accept this trick and began to use the usual methods of court disputes.

"My lord, I am impeaching Heshen for taking bribes and violating the law. His members are taking advantage of their power for personal gain. Their family members' clothes, carriages, horses, and living quarters are all over the limit!"

Wang Fangqing went straight to full fire, and his spit almost flew to He Shen's face.

Sure enough, when the impeachment came out, the court was in an uproar.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that these are all lies!"

"That is, if you are dedicated to serving the public good, how can you say that you are taking bribes and perverting the law?!"

"These are all things that are being exploited by unscrupulous people. Why does Wang Shangshu use these things to attack his colleagues?"

He Shen's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he immediately kowtowed and apologized.

At this time, Heshen's party members also stood up and began to defend Heshen.

"I impeach Wang Fangqing, the Minister of Civil Service, for his nepotism and dereliction of duty!"

"you!"

"alright!"

When Li Zhao heard the noise, he suddenly felt irritated and waved his hands to scold them.

Immediately.

The court fell silent, and the atmosphere among the ministers seemed a bit strange.

As a fourth-grade titled general, Lin Chen was considered to be a high-ranking military officer.

Because of this, he was naturally able to participate in the court meeting.

For him, what he saw and heard today was an eye-opener.

You must know that these people now are all important officials of Li Tang, managing a vast empire.

This kind of people criticize each other like shrews, which is rare.

Of course, if Lin Chen had attended more court meetings, he might have known that this was not such a rare thing.

"Wang Shangshu, if you don't accept peace, how will you quell the White Lotus Rebellion?"

Li Zhao looked at this trusted minister and his tone became softer.

"Reporting to your majesty, General Zhao Kuangyin of the left is not doing well in the war. How about appointing General Lin Chenjia as the commander-in-chief?"

Although Wang Fangqing was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew that Lin Chen's vest belonged to the Prince's Mansion.

Rounding it off, it is equivalent to being a comrade in the Prince's Mansion.

So when Li Zhao asked about strategies to quell the chaos, he pushed Lin Chen out.

Good guy.

Lin Chen, who originally only planned to eat melon, called him a good guy.

Is this the old fox's way of being an official?

These words directly took Wang Fangqing out and let Lin Chen, an unrelated person, get involved.

Lin Chen, who only had 10,000 MMP words in his heart, had no choice but to move a step to the left and bow to Li Zhao under the gaze of many people.

"General Lin, no courtesy."

Li Zhao's tone was calm, with a hint of cordiality.

From this point of view, anyone would believe that Lin Chen is Li Zhao's confidant.

"Your Majesty, it is taboo to change generals on the spot."

Lin Chen's ghostly face was hidden, and it was not clear what his face looked like.

But judging by the voice, it sounds like he was speaking righteously.

Only Wang Fangqing heard this and glared at Lin Chen angrily.

It seems to be asking him why he is shirk? Is it possible that you are afraid of going to the battlefield?

"..."

After Lin Chen noticed the sight coming from behind him, he felt a little surprised. "Does this little old man really not understand, or is he planning to do something against himself?"

Doesn't Wang Fangqing know that Zhao Kuangyin's name is about to be written on the capital camp?

If Lin Chen was really ordered to take over the capital camp. Even if he is an acquired master, he may die from a hidden arrow from behind.

When the time comes, wouldn't it be beautiful to report that General Lin died in battle for his country?

so.

Lin Chen would never accept this.

"What General Lin said is absolutely true."

He Shen felt happy when he heard what Lin Chen said.

Nowadays, apart from Zhao Kuangyin, the only one who can be regarded as a general in the DPRK is Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was unwilling to take over, so he could only let Zhao Kuangyin continue.

However, Zhao Kuangyin made it clear that he could not suppress the followers of the White Lotus Sect in a short time, and asked the court to recruit them.

Fortunately, Li Zhao was also aware of the twists and turns in the Beijing camp and did not express his attitude on this matter.

After all, the matter comes back to recruitment.

As He Shen said, the national treasury really doesn't have much food.

And Lin Chen speculated that even if Zhao Kuangyin had the ability to quell the White Lotus Rebellion, he would still hold him back.

Lin Chen finally understood that the purpose of Zhao Kuangyin's plan was to recruit people.

If Zhao Kuangyin's proposal is followed, the followers of the White Lotus Sect will be incorporated into the 150,000 forbidden army and merged with the Beijing camp into one army.

This means that Zhao Kuangyin is in charge of 300,000 well-trained troops!

No emperor could agree to such a threat.

However, things turned out to be helpless, and Li Zhao might have to hold his nose and admit it.

Zhao Kuangyin is a conspiracy.

First steal the grain from Beida warehouse, and then use the White Lotus Sect to eliminate dissident voices in the Beijing camp.

After this, Zhao Kuangyin has become a success.

Just like Grand Master Dong in the Three Kingdoms, what he wants to do at that time all depends on his mood.

No, even Li Zhao is about the same age as Liu Bian.

Coupled with the fact that there are many kings with different surnames in the world who have ulterior motives, maybe the world of Li Tang will be torn apart again.

only.

Zhao Kuangyin's plan was a perfect one at the right time and place, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to be killed in the middle.

He single-handedly killed the White Lotus Sect's 60,000 elite troops, forcing the opponent to defend the city.

and!

Before Lin Chen left, he almost captured Xianping City.

Now that Zhao Kuangyin has led more than 100,000 troops in the Beijing camp to fight the White Lotus Sect like this, he has suffered a lot of criticism.

After all, Lin Chen Zhuyu was there.

Furthermore, the imperial court has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to recruit peace.

When Lin Chen thought of this, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that Zhao Kuangyin is worried now.

After all, if they don't recruit people, the followers of the White Lotus Sect will have no food to eat.
