Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Xiao Jie looked at Wu Ji with piercing eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask General Wu, you led three thousand soldiers into Mobei to fight for more than two months. During this period, was there any one who was afraid of the enemy? Was there one who fled? A traitor to the enemy?"

Wu Ji's face turned red in an instant, and he pointed his three fingers at the sky, and said loudly to Xiao Jie: "I, Wu Ji, can swear to God, that among my three thousand soldiers, there has never been one who feared the enemy and fought timidly! Never one has run away in battle! There has never been a single person who defected to the enemy!"

Xiao Jie nodded, and then said to Xiao Ji: "Father, the way of loyalty is never in words, but in heart and deeds. Although most of these ordinary soldiers are illiterate, they are far inferior to the princes in the court. They haven't read a book of sages, so they can't say much, but no one can deny that they also have loyalty."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jie glanced at all the civil and military officials in the palace, and finally his eyes fell on Shang Shuling Wei Zhe, and said coldly: "Dare to ask all the gentlemen present, if you go deep into Mobei alone, surrounded by enemies, you will be killed every day." Facing a near-death situation, facing such a desperate situation, can you fight without fear of the enemy? Not flee before the battle? Not traitor to the enemy?"

Wei Zhe yelled in his heart that it was not good, but he could only bite the bullet and nodded in agreement: "You all read the books of sages and sages, follow the ways of sages, and naturally know what loyalty and integrity are. lives, and do things that disgrace."

Xiao Jie sneered coldly, and said mercilessly: "That is to say, Wei Shangshuling also knows that the princes in the palace would rather die than surrender on the battlefield because of their loyalty, not because they received the imperial salary, let alone because they obeyed the imperial order. If so, then why does Wei Shangshuling think that the reason why the soldiers who died in battle would rather die than submit is not because they were loyal, but because they ate the court's salary and obeyed the court's military orders, because they did not read as many books as the princes? ?”

Wei Zhe secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that he had been defeated, he bowed his hands and bowed to Xiao Jie, with a hint of shame on his face, and said in a painful voice: "Listen to what your Highness said, the old minister is ashamed! Empowerment, like waking up from a dream, is that the old minister is superficial, and the old minister is really ashamed."

Xiao Ji, who had been silent all this time, nodded slightly, glanced at all the officials in the palace, and said with a smile: "But there is any Qing family who has a different opinion. At the banquet, everyone can speak freely, and I will never punish anyone for their words. "

Even though Xiao Ji said so, even Wei Zhe and other veterans were defeated in front of Xiao Jie, and the others dared not make fun of themselves, they could only echo in unison: "The ministers agree with the words of King Qi."

"Okay!" Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Xiao Jie, and his eyes clearly showed approval, "Since you all agree with King Qi's suggestion, then I will follow King Qi's words and build a heroic hall for the 570 soldiers who died in battle. Inscribe their deeds on the inscriptions for the world to admire."

As the Son of Heaven, he certainly knows that the return of soldiers' hearts is related to the long-term stability of the country, and building the Hall of Martyrs for the soldiers who died in battle will undoubtedly help him buy people's hearts, but this somewhat touches the interests of the aristocratic family, after all, they have always liked Every day they talk about "be courteous to ordinary people", and their objection is also reasonable.

It's just that he didn't expect his son to do such a good job. He could refute Wei Zhe and Du Hao, two veteran ministers, to the point of being speechless, forcing other ministers to agree with his suggestion.

Wu Ji also got up and left his seat, walked to Xiao Jie's seat with a glass of wine, and said solemnly: "I, Wu Ji, took the place of the 570 soldiers who died in battle, thank you for your righteous words."

Xiao Jie also got up, picked up his wine glass and said back to Wu Ji: "Where is General Wu, these soldiers are all fighting to the death for Daning. I am also deeply impressed. Now they are just doing what they are supposed to do. It's not worth it." It's not worth mentioning."

The other people in the hall watched Xiao Jie and Wu Ji pushing cups and changing glasses, and then saw the obvious approval on the emperor's face, how could there be any displeasure, and they couldn't help but have strange thoughts in their hearts.

King Qi was originally Wu Ji's bole. If he hadn't had his insight, after tonight's banquet, Wu Ji would be even more devoted to him.Although Wu Ji is only a third-rank champion general, he is deeply appreciated by the emperor, and the emperor will definitely entrust him with great use. Sooner or later, he will be able to command the army and frighten one side.

Now King Qi Xiao Jie's father-in-law Su Jing and general Ye Qiu are in charge of the military power in Jiaozhou, and Gao Yang is acting as the deputy governor of Youzhou to represent Youzhou's soldiers and horses. In this way, the actual military strength in the hands of King Qi is already extremely terrifying , it can be seen that the emperor has no dissatisfaction or suppression at all, obviously he has acquiesced in this matter.

Since the emperor values ​​and trusts King Qi so much, I am afraid that it will not be too long before King Qi is formally appointed as the crown prince. Shouldn't they have made plans earlier.

Some people are still hesitating in their hearts, but Wu Tai has already picked up a glass of wine, got up and walked to Xiao Jie's seat, with a bright smile on his old face: "The old man also wants to offer a toast to Your Highness. And recommendation, there is no chance to make such a great contribution, His Highness's support and support, the Wu family will never forget...Come, this old man offers His Highness a glass of thin wine to express our gratitude."

While speaking, Wu Tai kept staring at Xiao Jie, his eyes were clearly showing a trace of nervousness, and his heart was very weak. After all, since Wu Ji was instigated by Xiao Jie to run away from home, Wu Tai scolded Xiao Jie frequently on various occasions. , scolding so much that one doesn't care about it, how hearty and happy it is.

But now that Wu Ji returned to the capital safe and sound, and made great contributions to the court, he was granted the title of marquis and general at a young age. Wu Tai's scolding of Xiao Jie in the past seemed a bit ridiculous. Wu Tai himself felt a little embarrassed and worried This will cause Xiao Jie to hold grudges, and on the contrary, it will implicate Wu Ji.

Xiao Jie didn't know the kind of smallness in Wu Tai's heart, so he raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Where is uncle, we are a family, and we should support each other."

Wu Tai smiled even more when he heard the words, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, family, family."

Speaking of this, Wu Tai looked around, leaned down and said in a low voice: "I don't know when Your Highness will pay a visit to the Wu Mansion again. The old man has something to ask His Highness for advice."

"Grandfather, is there anything that you can't talk about now? Why do you have to go to the Wu Mansion? What a waste of time." Before Xiao Jie could speak, Wu Ji who was on the side asked a little puzzled.

For some reason, upon hearing Wu Ji's words, Wu Tai became so angry that he couldn't get angry in his heart, but he couldn't get angry in front of the emperor and so many ministers, so he could only scold him in a low voice: "Shut up, if it wasn't for Why should I bother His Highness about your business?"

Wu Ji was naturally a little unconvinced when he was scolded inexplicably, but he couldn't talk back to his grandfather with so many people present, so he had to suppress his unwillingness and returned to his seat.

There was a knowing smile on Xiao Jie's face, he already guessed that Wu Tai came to him for Wu Ji's marriage.
