   Chapter 299 Officials (2)

   Old Qiao Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

   He is willing to assist two generations of emperors and achieve his reputation as a civil servant. Never want to see the crown princess reach out to do politics.

  Elder Qiao Ge was slightly relieved, and Lu Lin felt a little unhappy, and asked deliberately, "I don't know when the princess said about the special situation?"

   Before Lu Mingyu could answer, Li Jing had already opened his mouth and said, "Next year, I will go out with the army to conquer Yan and Chu. At that time, everything in the Eastern Palace will be decided by the Crown Princess."

   As soon as the words fell, Qiao Ge was the first to change his face, and he objected without thinking: "The emperor personally led the army to go out, and as the prince, His Royal Highness should be the guardian of the country."

  There are some things that can’t be said, everyone understands. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. In case the emperor has three longs and two shorts, and a prince sits in the court, Da Wei can quickly settle down.

  Luo Shangshu stroked his beard and opened his mouth to agree: "Qiao Ge's old words are reasonable. The old minister also thought that His Royal Highness should stay in the capital."

Lu Lin's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "The emperor has established the world with his military exploits. As a son of man, His Royal Highness should share the worries of his father. Besides, the first prince and the third prince will definitely go out with the army. A reputation for fear of war."

   As soon as these words came out, Qiao Ge Lao Luo Shangshu was suddenly dumbfounded.

The truth of    is also obvious.

  The Great Wei has not yet been able to unify the Central Plains. The eldest prince and the third prince went to follow the birth and death of Emperor Yongjia to make military exploits, and the prince was indeed safe to guard at the rear, but in the future, when the first prince and the third prince were rewarded, the first prince and the third prince were even better, suppressing the crown prince's limelight.

   Emperor Yongjia was in his prime. According to the lifespan of a normal person, it would not be a problem to live another ten or twenty years. Without enough merit, can the crown prince hold down the rest of the princes?

  Fang Zizhan and others are still young, and they can't talk about such important events for a while. On the other hand, Sun Langzhong stroked his sparse goatee and said, "There is a pavilion in the court, and I can't make waves."

  Yes, all the generals went to war, and those who stayed in the court were all civilians. With the ability of Qiao Ge, leading the six Shangshu is enough to suffocate the court.

   Qiao Ge was hesitant for a while.

Li Jingwen said: "I have made up my mind, to conquer Yanchu, I must go. Today I specially tell you about this, so that you have a psychological preparation first. You can know about this matter, but not for the time being. The rumors."

  Li Jing's voice was gentle, but his attitude was firm.

  There are differences between rulers and ministers. Qiao Ge was not happy, so he had to surrender first. I made up my mind that I must persuade the prince in private.

  A gentleman does not build a wall of danger. War and other matters are handed over to the wise and wise emperor and a group of generals. It is better to take less credit than to save yourself first.

  …

   When everyone met on this day, apart from this one incident, there was no other major event. Li Jing and the crowd said a few words one by one, and then ordered the crowd to disperse first.

   Only Qiao Gelao and Lu Lin were left.

  Lu Mingyu knew Li Jing's intentions, and said to Lu Lin with a smile: "Dad rarely enters the palace, come with me to see brother and sister Xuan!"

  Lu Lin nodded happily.

   As soon as the father and daughter left, only Li Jing and Qiao Ge were left.

   "My grandfather is worried about my safety, and I understand it in my heart." Li Jing said to Qiao Ge in a low voice, "It's just that my position as a prince is not secure."

   "There is no one else here. My grandfather and I said a few words from the heart. The father and the emperor have always preferred the elder brother. This time, the elder brother will lead the army, and the Meng family will have a chance to turn over."

   "If I let it go, I will become a confidant in the future."

   "So, I must go."

   "I am the crown prince established by my father. I want to sit upright as my crown prince."

Li Jing said it decisively, and Qiao Ge was a little moved, and sighed: "I understand what Your Highness means. It's just that His Highness is not good at leading troops, and marching and fighting is not a joke. Real swords and real guns will kill people. Yes. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

   Qiao Ge always really thinks about Li Jing.

   Li Jing was moved for a while, and whispered: "If you want to achieve great things, how can you be afraid of your head and tail? My grandfather will be left to me! With my father-in-law and uncle, I will be fine."

Seeing that Li Jing's mind was firm, Qiao Ge couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh: "Well, the minister is old and has no spirit, and it is not the same as what His Highness thinks. Your Highness insists on going, just go! The minister will meet in private. The King of Xingyang will talk about it, wait for the expedition next year, and go with the Xingyang army."

   On this side, Lu Lin and his daughter were also whispering about this.

   "The battle to conquer Yanchu is imperative. This battle must be a fierce battle." Lu Lin's voice was low and his eyes were shining: "However, the more this is the case, the easier it will be to make military exploits."

"His Royal Highness's thoughts are not wrong. The emperor prefers the eldest prince, and the Meng family is not hurt. If Meng Hui makes great achievements and restores his title, the eldest prince will become a complete wing in the army, and I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future. Your highness It’s better to lead the army together.”

  As a military commander, it is common to lead troops to fight, and life and death are a matter of time. Lu Lin and Qiao Ge had the opposite thoughts, and he appreciated the prince's decision very much.

   If it is the Taiping era, the prince is a qualified prince if he makes good use of civil servants.

   Born in troubled times, one has to fight to the death and make meritorious deeds in order to secure the throne of the prince.

   If you want to inherit the throne without effort, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world.

  Lu Mingyu looked at Lu Lin, who was so eloquent, thinking that his father died on the battlefield in his previous life, and his heart burst into bitterness: "Father, you..."

   After you finished the word, you didn't say the next word for a long time.

  Lu Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced over Lu Mingyu's complicated face: "What's wrong?"

  Lu Mingyu swallowed "don't go" back.

   Great Wei went on an expedition across the country. Except for the imperial guards who stayed in the capital, the rest of the generals had to lead their troops to fight. The Xingyang Army was the most elite army of the Great Wei, and Lu Lin was a famous general of the Great Wei. How could there be any reason to avoid war?

   "You have to take care of yourself." Lu Mingyu calmed down and warned, "Don't blindly take the lead in wars. Yan Chu also has good generals and elite soldiers, so don't be careless."

  Lu Lin didn't think much, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry! The person who can beat your father in this world hasn't been born yet."

  Lu Mingyu's heart tightened, and he whispered: "When you arrive in Yandi, pay attention to a person named Yan Tuo."

  Lu Lin never lost a battle on the battlefield, and his only defeat was because he was caught in an ambush by the Yan army. That one time, he died.

   This Yan Tuo, who is not well-known among Yan generals, is actually very skilled, cunning and insidious. He privately trained a thousand dead men.

After    Lu Lin was introduced into an ambush, Yan Tuo led a thousand dead men and rushed to Lu Lin. The guards around Lu Lin fought to the death, but failed to hold on, and were eventually broken through by the dead soldiers. After Lu Lin killed dozens of people, he finally died under the chaos of the sword.
