    Chapter 165

    Xie Ling, as the minister of the Ministry of War of the third rank, is naturally qualified to hold court meetings. In his opinion, every court meeting is like a quarrel, especially after the factions of the Crown Prince and Prince Gong become more and more obvious, and they often quarrel.  They came with guns and sticks, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong. Sometimes when it was so fierce, Xie Ling even felt that they wanted to draw swords at each other.

    On the contrary, the two leading masters, Prince Gong and Prince Gong, seemed to be talking in a harmonious manner, but in fact, they were hiding something in their innermost feelings.

    Everyone felt that the prince had changed a lot and was more calm than before. In the past, he would have revealed his secrets within three words to Prince Gong, but now he is still keeping his airs.  Did he suddenly have an epiphany?

    Only Xie Ling knew the reason. He looked straight ahead, listening to the words of the prince and Prince Gong, like brothers and sisters, and Shi Hua's words came to his ears again: He  I remembered.

    So what if I think about it, Xie Ling thought indifferently, since I can let him die once, I can also let him die a second time, completely shattering his bones and ashes.

    "I wonder what Mr. Xie thinks?"

    At this moment, the prince suddenly called Xie Ling's name and asked with a smile.

    Xie Ling heard what they had just discussed. They were saying that although the enemy had retreated, they were cunning and greedy and were very likely to send troops again. If they did send troops, how should they respond to the enemy.

    Halfway through the discussion, the prince suddenly pointed the finger at Xie Ling. The Minister of the Ministry of War was just aside. He did not ask, but asked the left minister of the Ministry of War. His intention can be imagined.

    Everyone was stunned. Emperor Xuanhe and Prince Gong looked over at the same time. The difference was that Prince Gong had some worry in his eyes, while Emperor Xuanhe said with great interest: "Xie Ling, please tell me.  "

    "Yes," Xie Ling said respectfully, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, when the two armies are fighting, food and grass go first. If the enemy really wants to invade our border again, they must prepare enough food and grass first so as not to rush into battle.  .¡±

    The prince smiled and said: "What Mr. Xie said makes sense, but it takes time to prepare this food and grass, and it also takes time to transport it. It will take at least a month to load the carriages and horses, and transport the soldiers. How can you guarantee that the food and grass will be delivered in time?"  Where¡¯s the front line?¡±

    Everyone heard the difficulty in the prince's words. There is no guarantee that if the normal time is fine, normal transportation can be carried out, but once it encounters natural disasters such as rain and snow, flash floods, and road damage, a  It may take two or three months to complete. Who can guarantee that food and grass will be delivered to the front line in time?

    Unexpectedly, after a short thought, Xie Ling calmly replied: "What the Crown Prince said is that since the transportation of soldiers and soldiers cannot be sent to the front line in time due to the loading of carriages and horses, what about transporting them by water instead of ships?"

    This is a way. It is indeed much faster to walk by water, and you are not afraid of rain or snow. The courtiers were all moved. Their eyes changed a lot when they looked at Xie Ling. Many of them felt guilty and ashamed for no reason.  Come on, it seems that the newly appointed Minister of War has something to offer, but they underestimated each other before.

    A flash of light flashed in Emperor Xuanhe's eyes, but he heard the prince say sharply: "But there are no rivers directly accessible to our borders. If you take the waterway, where are you going to send the grain and grass? To the enemy.  ?"

    Xie Ling was still unhurried and said calmly: "Your Highness is joking, how could my Dagan's grain and grass be given away to the enemy? I have seen the map and there is indeed a river on the border of Dagan. It goes to Yulian Pass."  The place two hundred miles to the east is called Jinsha River, and beyond that is Loujiang River. All we need to do is to connect Jinsha River with Loujiang River. Loujiang River will go straight down to Jiahui Bay in the capital. Jiahui Bay will connect to Qintong River below.  From then on, if you need to transport grain and grass, you can call it directly from the south of the Yangtze River, load it on ships, and send it to the border. From departure to destination, it is roughly estimated that it only takes ten days!"

    "Okay!" Emperor Xuanhe slapped the imperial case suddenly, stood up, and praised with a smile: "This plan is very good! I deeply appreciate it, Xie Ling is indeed the pillar of the country, why has no one proposed this method before?  "

    The courtiers all looked at each other in shock and did not dare to say a word. Emperor Xuanhe said again: "The cabinet will discuss this matter carefully to see how it will be arranged and who will be assigned to handle it. The sooner the better, there is no room for delay."

    Hearing this, Mr. Lin Ge and Mr. Yuan Ge both responded respectfully. Emperor Xuanhe thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, are there any other books to write?"

    ¡­¡­

    After the court meeting was over, Xie Ling left the Taiji Hall with all the ministers. Along the way, many people smiled at him and greeted him kindly. After brushing away their previous indifference, Xie Ling responded with a smile.  .

    &nbspbsp; Xie Ling said: "Force him."

    Dou Mingxuan looked surprised: "Force? How?"

    Xie Ling smiled. He didn't say anything. He just reached out and dipped some tea in the cup and wrote a word on the table. Prince Gong and Dou Mingxuan looked at it subconsciously and saw that it was the word "force", but it was the opposite.  of.

    Both Dou Mingxuan and Prince Gong were shocked. After hesitating for a moment, Dou Mingxuan said, "But the situation is tense now. If we take action, the emperor may notice it."

    Hearing this, Xie Ling smiled, erased the word, shook his head and said, "Of course we can't let the prince take action, it's too risky."

    Prince Gong couldn't help but said: "What do you mean"

    Xie Ling said: "Let the emperor take action."

    He said, and continued: "The more the emperor values ??the prince, the more critical he will be of the prince. The prince loves success, has an impatient temper, and is unwilling to lag behind others. Once he is forced to lose his position, everything will collapse."

    Prince Gong took a deep breath, looked at Xie Ling in front of him, his eyes were bright, and said: "Shenzhi, I really didn't misjudge you at the beginning."

    Xie Ling immediately lowered his head: "It is my honor to serve the prince." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
