Vol 8 Chapter 356: Suppress

Wei Xiaode returned to his room. He had just returned from Emperor Xian. After persuading him and Liu Zhong, Emperor Xian was finally relieved. In fact, Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong had to persuade them, as Liu Zhong said, Now they really don't have the strength to support Wen Wenhai and the others. In other words, they can only watch Wen Wenhai fend for himself.
Although they can let the left and right phases adjust their soldiers to rescue each other, Wei Xiaode is very clear. If the left and right phases reach the Gufeng Mountain barracks and want to get their hands back, it will be difficult. , So they would rather allow Wen Wenhai to fend for themselves there, and definitely not allow the left and right sides to reach out to the Gufeng Mountain Barracks.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong both persuaded the Emperor Xiandi, the purpose is to make the Emperor Xiandi not worry too much about Gufeng Mountain, if the Emperor Xiandi really prepares to transfer other troops to the past, it may be even more troublesome.
As soon as he returned to his room, Wei Xiaode immediately said to the little eunuch: "Go, call Chen Xiwang." The little responded and went to call someone. After a while, Chen Xiwang went to Wei Xiaode's room and waited. After Chen Xiwang saluted him, Wei Xiaode said to Chen Xiwang, "Go and invite Zhao Hai." Chen Xiwang responded and went to invite someone immediately.
Soon Zhao Hai and Chen Xiwang came to Wei Xiaode's room. After the two saluted Wei Xiaode, Wei Xiaode said to Zhao Hai: "Zhao Hai, do you know what happened at the Great Court meeting today? "
Zhao Hai said solemnly: "My father-in-law said that I was going to check the army, right? I heard the people from the Ministry of War say that this matter has been passed, please rest assured, father-in-law, I will check the army. "
Wei Xiaode nodded and said, "Yes, it is this matter that asked you to check the military. It was proposed by the two parties. Originally, Your Majesty was not going to let you go, but if you were not allowed to go, you can only Leaving you at the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will be even more possible in the future. Isolate you openly and do nothing for you. This is not necessarily a good thing for you, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will have no choice. Speak for you."
Zhao Hai nodded, and then said: "Yes, I also thought of this. This time, Samurai Ying and the others are going through a formal procedure, but a task. If I don't take this task, it will only People look down on me, so I took this task. Father-in-law, please rest assured."
Wei Xiaode nodded, and then said: "Okay, it's okay if you understand, then I will tell you about your majesty's decision." Zhao Hai quickly responded and sat up straight.
Wei Xiaode looked at Zhao Haidao: "Since the two prime ministers of the left and right have taken power, the military in various places has been controlled by them. We don't know who the local army is and how many people there are in these years. Given you this task, although it is possible to spend you in Xiandu, it is also an opportunity, an opportunity for you to better understand those armies. This time you go there is to find out what is going on in those armies. ?Is there any problem?"
When Wei Xiaode said this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stunned, and then he shook his head quickly and said: "No problem, please rest assured, I must take a good look at the situation of those troops, but there is one thing, I want to ask the father-in-law for help. "
Wei Xiaode said solemnly: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Hai said solemnly: "I go to inspect the military, and I can also kill some people in the military by the way. After all, if the inspector fails to produce something, it will be unreasonable. As long as there is a problem with the inspection, You can do it in accordance with the military laws, so I would like to ask your father-in-law to tell your majesty. Please give me two things. One is the background information of the officers in the military to see which faction they belong to. Which faction should be suppressed, the one that retired, or the one of Sima Lang, and the one that your Majesty wants to suppress, I can kill more officers of which one. The second is, please give me the right way. The sword can be cut first and then played. If there is an officer who dares not to obey the military law, I can invite the sword of Shang Fang and behead him on the spot."
After Wei Xiaode listened to Zhao Hai's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and then he said in a deep voice: "Okay, you have a good idea. You are sitting here. I will go to your Majesty to ask questions. Come back." After saying that, he walked straight out to see the Emperor.
In a short while, Wei Xiaode arrived at the study of the emperor. The emperor looked at Wei Xiaode in confusion and said, "Wei Banban, what's the matter?"
Wei Xiaode nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave just invited Zhao Hai over and told him about his going to check the army. Zhao Hai has no objection to this matter, but he Two requests were made, and the old slave felt that the two requests he made were very useful, so he wanted to ask your Majesty."
The emperor nodded and said, "Let's talk about it, what kind of request Zhao Hai made."
Wei Xiaode replied: "The first request that Zhao Hai said was to ask for a copy of the information about the officers of each army. We still have these information. He wants to use these information to find out and see if the army is Who belongs to that line, is it retired from one line, or Sima Lang? At the same time, I want to ask your majesty, which line of people your majesty is going to suppress, and his majesty is going to suppress people in that line, he will kill more. The first line of officers, the second is that he wants to ask your majesty to give him the sword of Shangfang, you can cut it first and then play it. If anyone does not obey the military law, he can invite the sword of Shangfang to kill that person on the spot."
The immortal emperor was stunned when he heard Wei Xiaode say this, and then his eyes lit up, and then he slapped the table vigorously and said: "Okay, great, Wei Banban, you go call Zhao Hai, I Ask him in person." Wei Xiaode responded, then turned around and returned to his room, and immediately led Zhao Hai back to the study.
The two of them arrived in the study, and after giving the gift to the emperor, the emperor looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, you have made two requests. Wei Banban has already told me about my two requests for you. , Is also very interested, you can talk about it carefully."
Zhao Hai replied and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this way. If your Majesty wants to divorce him and Sima Lang, he must suppress one of them. We must suppress them from all aspects, so the minister thinks, This time the inspection of the military is an opportunity. As long as we suppress one of the generals, there will be conflicts between them. When the time comes, it will be easier to separate them."
The immortal emperor nodded and said: "You are right, but it is not easy to suppress them. Which line of people do you think is better for us to suppress? Is it easier to cause conflicts between them?"
Zhao Hai thought for a while, and said solemnly: "The minister feels that it is more appropriate to suppress those who retired."
Zhao Hai’s answer went beyond the immortal emperor’s expectations. He thought that Zhao Hai would suppress the people of Sima Lang's line, but he did not expect that Zhao Hai was actually going to suppress the people of He retired line. This made him very It was an accident. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why?"
Zhao Hai said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been observing and understanding He Tuizhi and Sima Lang these days. Originally, there was a contradiction between these two people, so your Majesty let them become the two sides of the left and right, but later this Sima Lang actually took the initiative to make peace with He Tuizhi, and he relied on He Tuzhi’s deputy everywhere. This allowed their contradictions to be resolved slowly. It can be said that their union, He Tuzhi made it very mys. Sacrifice, this is where we are today."
The immortal emperor nodded and said: "Yes, I also know these, so I should suppress Sima Lang. Sima Lang has sacrificed so much, and his heart must be unbalanced. We suppress him, maybe he will fall out with He Fei. Yes, why do you want to suppress and retreat? But what are your different ideas?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Exactly, your Majesty, after understanding this, the minister has an idea. The minister found that Sima Lang is a person who cares about the overall situation. He can make some sacrifices for the overall situation. Make some concessions. This kind of person is very minded than ordinary people and is a person who does big things. On the contrary, how to retreat is different. This person's heart is not broad enough. He has been fighting with Sima Lang for power before. When he wanted to get along with him, he had insulted Sima Lang. This person's heart was really not broad enough. If we suppress Sima Lang, Sima Lang may be more closely linked with He Tuizhi. , Because he knows that Your Majesty is trying to separate them, so he will not easily get away from him."
Having said that, Zhao Hai stopped for a moment, and then he said: "But if we suppress He Retreat, it will be different. He Retreat is really not a good person, and our heart is not broad enough. Suppress him, he will definitely feel angry. If we let Sima Lang's lineage take over the position of his subordinates, he will definitely be even more angry. No matter how Sima Lang gives up, I am afraid he will not. I easily contacted Simalang, and he was sure of being eccentric. Therefore, the minister believed that it is better to suppress Simalang than to retreat."
After hearing what Zhao Hai said, the Emperor Immortal was also taken aback. Then he thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It makes sense, what you said makes sense, He Tuizhi, this person is really the kind of scorn For those who are profitable and hopeful, if we suppress his people, who are in favor of Sima Lang, even if Sima Lang speaks a lot of good things then, I am afraid that he will not be able to believe in Sima Lang as before. There will be problems with the alliance between them. This is our opportunity."
Zhao Hai and Wei Xiaode responded in unison, and the emperor turned his head and said to Wei Xiaode: "Wei Banban, after you go back, immediately sort out the information about the officers at all levels to Zhao Hai." Wei Xiaode responded, and then As soon as the emperor waved his hand, a long sword hung on the wall of the study was in his hand. The long sword in his hand was in front of Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, this sword will be rewarded to you. With this sword, you can cut it first and then play it. If you are not convinced, please use this sword to cut it. When you leave, I will issue a clear order to tell the whole world about this sword. Then there will be no I doubt the authenticity of this sword. This time you must check the army for me and see how many troops are loyal to me." Zhao Hai responded and took the sword with his hands up high.
