After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

When Hu Gao saw the emperor saying this, he returned to the emperor and said:

"The emperor is right. Marquis Dingyuan is indeed loyal to the country, but he is old after all. The emperor must also sympathize with the hard work of his ministers. I suggest that his grandson Jiang Feng should replace him. Marquis Dingyuan will definitely try his best to help. This not only supports his descendants, but also shows His Majesty's concern for him."

The emperor repeated it again:

"Isn't Jiang Feng Jiang Chen's concubine brother? He is a little-known scholar, what qualifications does he have to be a high official? You want to recommend Jiang Chen, and I will definitely agree. After all, he is rare. Someone who has the talent to govern the country and secure the country. And that Jiang Feng, although he is also on the list, how can he be compared with Jiang Chen. The Dingyuan Marquis is guarding an important gateway to our north. Once the guard is not effective, the people from the north will If we march straight in, our Xuanwu Dynasty will be in danger."

When Hu Gao saw that the emperor was not optimistic about Jiang Feng at all, he quickly defended:

"Your Majesty, Youdao is a general, and although this Jiang Feng is not on the top of the list, he is also a very talented person. I believe that under the guidance of Marquis Dingyuan, he will be able to fulfill the responsibility of guarding Northern Xinjiang. .”

The emperor shook his head repeatedly and said:

"Since you recommended Jiang Feng, it would be fine to let him go to Northern Xinjiang for some training. But it is impossible for him to be the coach. If it is proposed that Marquis Dingyuan be relieved of his command, the position of coach should be taken by his son Jiang Xiaotian. , after all, he had followed Jiang Rong for many years and knew everything about the border issues, so he asked Jiang Feng to follow his father to practice again, and wait a few years to see how his ability is determined. This matter is settled, You can discuss the specific matters with the prince when the time comes. You go down first, I am a little tired and I need to rest."

After saying that, he lay down again under the service of the palace maid.

Hu Gao saw that the emperor actually vetoed his proposal, which had never happened before.

In the past, it could not be said that the emperor obeyed his advice, but as long as it was proposed by him, the emperor usually accepted it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But the emperor had said so. No matter what he said, he couldn't change the result, so he had to retreat angrily.

When he came to his daughter Li Fei's palace, he told her and the King of Wei about the matter. Li Fei said in surprise:

"The Emperor doesn't agree with Jiang Feng being the head coach, so wouldn't our work be in vain?"

King Wei also said to Hu Gao:

"The Emperor really said that."

Hu Gao nodded, looked at him, and said displeasedly:

"This can still be false. I just came out of the Emperor's Palace of Cultivation of the Heart. He proposed that Jiang Xiaotian be the commander-in-chief, and Jiang Feng could join the army to gain experience, but he is not optimistic about Jiang Feng."

When King Wei saw him like this, he comforted him and said:

"That's not necessarily the case. Jiang Feng's qualifications are too low to be the head coach. I didn't think enough about it. But as long as Jiang Feng can get to the border, there is hope that he can contain Jiang Xiaotian. After all, he is a descendant of the Jiang family. I I think he will be useful when the critical moment comes. At least he can put an insider there and know the movements of Marquis Dingyuan and others. The most important thing now is how we deal with the prince. Prime Minister, don’t forget, your hands There is also the trump card of Li Susu, which can be played at the critical moment. But we still don’t know whether Jiang Chen died after being hit by the arrow."

When Hu Gao heard what he said, he looked at him and said:

"If that Jiang Chen dies in the Northern Kingdom, we will save a lot of things in the future. On the contrary, if he comes back safely, he will cause us a lot of trouble. As long as he can be in the Northern Kingdom and help the Northern Emperor, Judging from the fact that Yeluhan has captured a large number of soldiers, he is a very difficult person to deal with. What's more, since the prince has been acting as the government, some ministers have begun to fall to his side. This will be more and more detrimental to us. "

Even Concubine Li couldn't hold back her anger. She quickly interjected:

"Father, if I don't get rid of this prince, I won't be able to live in peace for the rest of the day. Hurry up and arrange actions. Let Liu Gu lead his troops and surround the capital. Everything will be solved. Why bother just saying no all day long? Do it, if Jiang Chen comes back and finds that you have imprisoned his mother Li Susu, it will be strange if he doesn't join forces with the prince to deal with us. How can you let you do something so simple as killing the prince? It’s getting more complicated.”

Hu Gao looked at his daughter Li Fei and said:

"Fortunately, you have lived in the palace for more than twenty years, but you can't even speak beyond your brain. Do you think it is so simple to kill the prince? Don't forget, there is a man with two hands beside him. Yu Jian, the nine-door admiral with tens of thousands of troops. If we act rashly, we will be killed by Yu Jian before Liu Gu's army comes to siege the city. Now you know the importance of having heavy troops, right? If we don't plan such a big thing first, are you going to let us fall into a point of no return? Do you think your empress dowager is so easy to be? Maybe the empress is also planning behind the scenes like us. She also wants to be the empress dowager, so it depends on who can outsmart her and who will finally ascend the throne."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left the palace of his daughter Li Fei. Surrounded by a group of guards, he got on a sedan chair and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Only the mother and son were left, looking at Hu Gao's leaving figure and looking at each other. Li Fei looked at her son in front of her and said:

"The prime minister just left angrily. Did I say something wrong about my mother-in-law? I have been planning for you to be in power for the past few years, but these nine or eighty-one difficulties have come to pass. In the end, your uncle Your life is on the line, and there is no foolproof plan yet. I think the Prime Minister is becoming more and more reluctant to let go. If he had to show the same ferocity that he used to kill the entire Li family, he would have put you on the throne long ago. Always looking forward and backward like this, when that Jiang Chen comes back, things will become even more difficult."

King Wei also felt that what his mother-in-law said was reasonable. He nodded in agreement and said:

"The Prime Minister is old. He always looks forward and backward when doing things. Little does he know that if he continues to make mistakes, he will be disturbed. It seems that it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. It is better to simply do it without stopping and send someone to look for the prince and find a suitable one. Chance, wouldn’t it be over once and for all by getting rid of him?”

When Concubine Li heard what King Wei said, she immediately became interested. She nodded in agreement and said:

"My son still has a plan. The New Year is coming soon, and the prince will inevitably go to various places to worship on behalf of the bedridden emperor. You only need to send people to watch carefully and attack him in secret. He is not possessed by Vajra. Who can guarantee that he can escape every time. As long as we can succeed once, it will be successful. We have to do everything. How can we succeed if we are afraid of the tiger in front and the wolf in the back? Do you think I am right? .”

King Wei looked at his mother and praised:

"My concubine is right. I agree with you very much. There are many sacrifices during the Spring Festival, which is indeed a very good opportunity for assassination. I will arrange for someone to go and prepare in advance. As long as I find a suitable opportunity, I will attack him. .”

Li Fei quickly said to her son:

"King Wei, you must not use your people to assassinate the prince this time. You have to find some experts from outside. If they fail and something happens, they will not be blamed on us. You must instruct your subordinates. People, please don’t tell me that you are behind the scenes, otherwise you will be in big trouble.”
