The emperor issued a decree.

Only then did Prince Chun make a move. He looked solemn and could not get up from his knees. Bearing the grief of losing his second brother, he proposed to the emperor that General An's accident might cause greater turmoil in the north.

Now the Lin family army is leaderless and the morale of the army is easily disturbed. He is also worried that the Lin family army has lost its leader and is now red-blooded. The soldiers will conflict with the 100,000 elite soldiers brought by the prince, and they will disobey the new general.

If this is not arranged in time, it will lead to civil strife among the soldiers and generals, which is not conducive to the prince's subsequent command.

Prince Chun spoke categorically: “Since my brother’s accident, the Lin family’s army has been leaderless, its morale has fluctuated, and the country’s safety is paramount, and there is a risk of something changing.

The minister suggested: When the prince and the eighth prince arrive in the north, and after completing the handover with Lieutenant General Tan of the Lin family army, immediately let Lieutenant General Qin lead the remaining troops to fight in the western border to support Lin Junxiu, and let General Xiu take command to securely defend the western border and protect the Li people.

This move will not only maintain national stability, but also appease people's hearts and protect people's livelihood. "

The courtiers heard a sense of urgency in Prince Chun's words and were deeply afraid that the Western Region would be invaded again.

The discussion quickly spread throughout the court again.

Some ministers expressed their agreement with Prince Chun's suggestion, believing that now is a critical moment and that quick action must be taken to prevent the army from falling into a greater crisis due to civil strife.

Snow disasters, droughts and lack of food and grass in Western Xinjiang have already resulted in the loss of many soldiers and horses.

General Xiu now has less than 20,000 troops left, and everyone in the court knows it. It would be best if they could be gathered together. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that the Tatars will not turn to attack the Western Xinjiang after the troops from the Northern Xinjiang invade the border. , catching them off guard will be dangerous.

The prince was even more eager to agree to Prince Chun's suggestion. All the Lin Jiajun were barbarians and not easy to lead. He did not want the results of his hard-earned battle to be blamed by the people on the Lin Jiajun. Since the Lin Jiajun could not He might as well let them die directly.

At that time, it would not be too late to allocate 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses from his hands to seize Lin San's military power. By then, almost all the military power of the Dasheng Dynasty would be in his hands.

Some courtiers stood up and said: "Prince Chun's words are reasonable. The army is leaderless and the morale of the army is unstable. If someone does not guard the western border as soon as possible, there may be even greater chaos.

"General Xiu is a fierce general in our court with extraordinary intelligence. If he can lead the rest of the army to continue to protect the territory, it will undoubtedly be the best choice and can also appease the Lin family army."

However, there are also some courtiers who hold objections. They are worried that if the Lin family army leaves, although the western Xinjiang guards can be saved, the northern Xinjiang may lose solid support. In the final analysis, they still believe more in the strength of the Lin family army and still have confidence in the prince's ability. Be skeptical.

But the prince strongly agreed with Prince Chun's statement.

He also pointed out that there were currently less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xinjiang, and the troops were thin and needed to be replenished with food and grass. He also took the initiative to help the Lin family army obtain a batch of food and grass, demonstrating his generosity and tolerance.

He knew very well that the loyalty of the Lin Family Army did not belong to him. Even if the Lin Family Army gathered together in Western and Northern Xinjiang, they would only have less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and they were stationed in the coldest part of Western Xinjiang. Prince Chun's Mansion would never be able to make any waves again. .

With the prince's encouragement, Prince Chun's proposal was quickly adopted.

But the emperor's other decree caused an uproar in the Shunguo Palace.

"I actually want you to escort the grain and fodder? Is the emperor crazy?"

Mrs. Yan's voice was high-pitched, and she was obviously very angry. She threw her chopsticks on the table in disbelief.

The sound of "pop" startled Chu Chu and her two brothers.

This is not like the usual grandmother's character at all. The three of them haven't woken up yet, they only know that something is wrong.

Since Chu Chu came back, the family's dinner was always served in the old lady's courtyard. Their family didn't divide the table, and they could always have dinner peacefully as a family.

The atmosphere at the dinner table is usually very harmonious, but tonight it was broken by Yan Guogong's words.

He said: The emperor decreed that he would escort the first batch of 500,000 kilograms of grain and grass to northern Xinjiang.

The old woman was furious: "There are no people in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs? Why is it your turn to be the Minister of Industry to escort the food and grass? Isn't this bullying?"

Li Yan also found it unbelievable, nothing felt right, and the consignment three days later was the first batch of food and fodder for the army of 100,000 people, so there was no chance of any mistakes.

"Isn't it because our Duke Shun is getting closer to Prince Chun's palace that he wants to single you out? He wants you to die?"

If anything goes wrong in the transportation of grain and grass, everyone will be beheaded. Everyone knows this.

Moreover, the emperor's decree was made only after the court went down, without any discussion in the court.

When the old lady said these words, Chu Chucai suddenly raised her head and looked at her father sitting on her left. She had just been immersed in eating chicken legs, not paying attention to what the adults said, nor carefully observing her father.

"Father, you can't go."

Chu Chu suddenly dropped the chopsticks in her hands and threw herself into Duke Yan's arms. She was trembling a little, as if she was frightened. Tears immediately flowed down, and she was crying so hard that she was out of breath.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, Chu Chu? Grandma is not angry with you."

What happened to this child? The chopsticks thrown by grandma shouldn't be so frightening, right? The old lady regretted a little. Why did she get so angry for no reason? Look, it scares the kids! She quickly explained to Chu Chu.

"Uuuu, father can't go. Uuu, father can't escort the food and grass."

Chu Chu suddenly seemed to have lost control, her tears kept falling down as if she wanted no money, and she couldn't stop coaxing her. This phenomenon was something they had never seen before. At this time, Shun Guogong and his wife were on the left and right, and they couldn't stop coaxing them. Chu Chu can’t stop being coaxed.

Chu Chu hugged Yan Guogong's neck tightly. How could he be so close to him normally? Just to hold her under his knees, he had to see her happy. After Chu Chu came in, Duke Yan only had to hold her two or three times.

"Chu Chu can't bear to leave his father? It's been less than two months since his father left and back. He will be back soon before the year."

The old lady felt very distressed and regretted throwing away the pair of chopsticks, scaring her granddaughter and leaving the whole family unable to eat.

The twin brother also stood up, walked to the opposite side, and reached the three of them, but he was too busy to help, and he didn't know how to coax his sister.

"Mother, grandmother, and father can't go. Chu Chu won't let his father go."

Chu Chu turned around and pounced on Li Yan on the right. The crying look made their hearts ache. How clingy this child was to her father. Li Yan felt both distressed and jealous.

But Yan Guogong's heart is still quite warm. This child knows that he feels sorry for his father. He originally thought that she was also cold and it would take some time to warm up. He didn't expect that this time his father would have such a big reaction when he left.

But after all, flesh and blood are connected. Chu Chu cried so hard that their hearts ached, but how could they be so coaxing? The emperor's order is naturally irreversible, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't go.
