Chapter 57: Hug if you disagree
Chapter 57: Hug if you disagree
Su Luo has done a good job in governing officials.
Therefore, he has gained a good reputation both among the people and among the ministers, and his prestige is even higher.
In short, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has made some achievements in political affairs.
The emperor is naturally very pleased that he has made such progress.
It's just that the power of the prince's side is growing.It is bound to suppress the factions of Prince Rui and Prince Xuan.
In such a situation, it might be possible for Prince Rui and Prince Xuan to unite.
However, from today's early court, it seems that Prince Rui and Prince Xuan still have a hostile relationship against Maimang, but this does not rule out the possibility of their alliance in the future.
Therefore, the current situation of Su Luo and the others is really not optimistic.
There have been no new faces in this morning, after all, the rotation of officials does not happen overnight.
So the early court is still a scene of two factions competing, but Su Luo is also pleasantly surprised to find that he also has supporters, although there are only one or two.
Su Luo also knew that the court official had already divided into factions before he left the cold palace, and it was simply impossible to snatch someone from Prince Rui and Prince Xuan.The ministers of the neutral faction are all old and stubborn, or smart people who are wise and safe.Most of them are watching the contest between the three kings.
The emperor still prefers the prince, and gave Su Luo a lot of things to do, maybe he wanted the prince to establish the prestige of the crown prince in political affairs.
But this is a mixed bag of joys and sorrows for Su Luo.He doesn't like to deal with tedious political affairs at all.On the contrary, if he is allowed to lead the army to fight now, he will be very happy.
Perhaps it was because his resentment was greater than his strength, but in the end, someone actually took the urgent military report of eight hundred miles to the temple.
"Report, the Xianyao Kingdom has gathered fifty thousand troops on the border of our country, with the intention of invading our country. General Huwei led the people to stand ready. But there is a huge gap in the number of the two sides, so I implore the Holy One to send troops."
Xianyao Kingdom is located in the northwest of Qixia Kingdom, bordering the two countries.The Xianyao country is small and has few people, and most of the country is desert grassland with little arable land, so they often encounter the problem of food shortage.And there is a Goddess Lake on the border of Qixia Kingdom, where the water and grass are abundant, and the food variable is also high.So some people from Xianyao country would pretend to be bandits and go to harass them.
These soldiers and bandits are all small fights, so even if the envoys of the two countries discussed and negotiated on this issue many times, they ended up without a problem.It is clear that he, Xian Yaoguo, deliberately connives and covers up.
This year's snow disaster, I am afraid that the rare arable land in Xianyao country will lose all crops.Therefore, these barbarians simply tore up their faces and generously sent troops to harass them.
"It just doesn't make sense."
Hearing this, the emperor was furious.
"These barbarians have repeatedly invaded the frontiers of our country. I think that the two countries are neighbors, and they have the intention of good neighborliness and friendship. But they took my kindness as connivance. How dare they send troops to suppress the border, when there is no one in Qixia Dynasty ?"
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
The emperor was afraid that he was really angered this time, and he was bound to send someone to suppress it.
But it is well known that Xianyao's army is notoriously tough and tough.If it is not a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he will suffer a lot if he goes.
In addition, the [-]-mile urgent military report obviously had a lot of irony on the road.The military situation at the border is changing rapidly, now it is imperative to decide who to send to lead the army!
"All the generals, is anyone willing to teach Qi Xia a lesson for these barbarians for me?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he found that no military officer dared to respond. "The emperor calm down, listen to the old minister. This expedition will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. This year's cold winter has really caused me a lot of losses in Qixia. It is really inappropriate to use the power of the whole country to send troops to crusade."
"That's right! Your Majesty, those people from the Xianyao Kingdom just want some food and money. Send an envoy to bring these to negotiate peace."
"Lord Li, this statement is wrong. Our Yangyang Qixia was afraid that those bandits would fail. The emperor believes that this battle must be fought according to the old minister. If the emperor does not dislike it, then send the old minister to lead the army to fight."
The old man who spoke was the Zhennan King of the imperial court and the emperor's own uncle. He lived an upright life and made outstanding military achievements.But now that he is getting old, Su Luoke saw the old prince dozing off several times during the morning court.I didn't expect that this mention of leading troops to fight would have such ambitions.
Su Luo admired it, but he would never agree to let the old prince go.
Since ancient times, once there was a war, the imperial court was divided into two factions, one faction and the other faction.The two factions will have to discuss whether to fight or not for at least half a month.If this continues, the battle is over.
"That's enough. What else do you want to say? Prince?"
"Father, according to my son and minister, there is no need to discuss this matter. The people of this natural disaster will not suffer. Just a few days ago, the father sent the elder brother to help the disaster! The people in his own country can't eat enough If it is not warm, why should this gold, silver and food be given to other countries for nothing. This battle must be fought, and it must be fought. And I implore my father to let my son lead the army to fight."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made an impassioned speech, but he did not expect to ask to personally lead the troops into battle.This made the ministers unexpected.
The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and if the crown prince goes on an expedition and suffers any damage, it will be a major event that will really shake the foundation of the country!
Moreover, the prince has been favored by the emperor since he was a child, and he has never had the experience of leading troops, let alone going to the frontier to fight.
Therefore, it was opposed by the vast majority of people.
Even His Royal Highness' uncles stood up against him.
In addition, it also made the two princes in the court really puzzled. If the leader of the army made a mistake in the battle, he would die without a place to bury him. Did the prince stay too comfortably in the Hall of Renxin?
"I think it's inappropriate for the prince to lead the army. If the emperor trusts me, let me go. My hands are itchy after a general has been idle at home for many days. I beseech the emperor for permission."
Su Changan?
Didn't he just come back from beating the Dijong clan a month ago?Why are you going now?
This is what Su Luo wanted to ask, why is there something about him everywhere!
"Father, my son thought that Prince Su had just returned from the battlefield and was going to the battlefield again. It is too tiring. It is also not conducive to the battle ahead. Let my son lead the army."
Weird.
How could King Xuan come to intervene.How could King Xuan, who was weak and scholarly, be able to lead the army to fight?
"Okay. You guys are making my head hurt. How about this. Su Qing will be in command, General Huwei will be the vanguard, and the crown prince will lead [-] soldiers and horses every day as the supervisor. The Ministry of War will plan the expedition in detail. The issue of food and grass Hand it over to the Ministry of Accounts."
The emperor also felt a headache, so he was called to retreat and left first.
But it seems that His Royal Highness Xuan Wang has something to say?It's just that now it can only be done.
When Su Luo returned to the Hall of Renxin, he found that everyone in the palace was busy.Don't know what to do?
"Hey! You wrap up all these clothes for the prince."
"Also, have you prepared the food that His Royal Highness usually likes?"
"and also……"
What's wrong with Xiao Fuzi? He's in a hurry.And there are so many things in the hall, is this going to be moved?
"Cough cough."
Su Luo coughed twice on purpose, Xiao Fuzi and the palace servants noticed, and then saluted.
Su Luo only let them get up.
As a result, the little Fuzi started shouting there.
"His Royal Highness! You can let the servant say what you are good at? When others mention that leading soldiers to fight, you can't hide in time. Your Highness, you are so stupid that you are so stupid. The servant heard that the people of the Xianyao Kingdom are all taller than one Zhang, Kong Wu is powerful and vicious. With His Highness's small body, how can he bear it?"
Are you stupid?Small body?
If he didn't know that Xiao Fuzi was doing it for his own good, he would have given him a lesson long ago.
The little eunuchs of other people's family are submissive, how can the little eunuch of his family be more arrogant than the master!It is time to strengthen education.
"You dead slave. Dare to scold the prince. Do you want your head? Besides, why do you always have so little confidence in the prince! This palace is King Yihuang. What can a mere Xianyao country do to this palace! This will make others’ aspirations destroy one’s own prestige. I’ll hang you on our battle flag.”
"hehe"
He suddenly heard a muffled laugh, and when he turned around, he saw his father standing at the gate of the palace, and the eunuch Li Dezheng beside him covered his mouth with his sleeve and was laughing backwards and forwards.
"Join the emperor."
"See your father."
The emperor restrained himself, so Li De naturally didn't dare to laugh anymore.But fortunately, the emperor said "flat body" and made everyone retreat.
Only their father and son and their attendants Li De and Xiao Fuzi were left in the hall.
"Father also doesn't like those people from the Xianyao Kingdom, and wants to send someone to file their vigor so that they can be more peaceful. But father didn't think about letting the prince go to war. Besides, there are many generals in this court, and the prince Why take the risk yourself. I only agree to see that you are bound to win."
The emperor is also a human being, and now he is approaching the age of knowing his destiny, so he naturally hopes to take care of his children and grandchildren around his knees.But being born in the royal family, he enjoys the best of everything in the world, so naturally he has to give up the family happiness of this ordinary family.
It's just that he really can't let go of this child!
"The minister thanked the royal father there. The royal father, just wait for the good news of the triumphant return of the minister in the capital."
His prince was as proud and arrogant as he was when he was young, sharp as a sword.
Since the son has this idea, the father has no choice but to support it.
He also only told Xiao Fuzi to take good care of him.
"Little Fuzi, you are a good boy!"
Seeing that Xiao Fuzi almost knelt down in gratitude, Su Luo said he didn't know him.
After the emperor left, Su Chang'an reappeared out of nowhere.
Su Luo almost wondered if there was a secret passage to the palace in the backyard of the Hall of Renxin, but this person didn't have that kind of ability.
It's just that the man's complexion is not very good today.It seems to be looking for unhappy.
"His Royal Highness is getting more and more wings now, and he doesn't pay attention to Su Mou as an ally at all. It is such a big matter to lead the army to fight, and it is decided without discussing with Su Mou. His Royal Highness is very capable!"
"How could it be? Didn't I want to regain control of the East Palace as soon as possible? I have made political achievements, but I don't have any military merits and I can't convince the public!"
Su Luo's words were hard-coded on the spot, how could he think so much under the circumstances at that time.
But he didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, the man would pull himself into his arms with all his strength.It's not that kind of tender hug, he obviously wants to strangle himself to death.
When did you provoke him again?
