If the harem is a battlefield for women to fight, then the court is a battlefield for men's power planning.

The third prince was surrounded by officials rushing around.Seeing that the third prince has the hope of being established as the crown prince, there are not a few people who come to burn the stove of the third prince now.

The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince also had a few familiar officials greeting each other.

Only Ziqi stood there quietly, avoiding all directions.

However, Ziqi was as motionless as a mountain, with no expression on his face.

Many officials just took a few private glances, and saw that the prince was much calmer than before, but the fact that the prince was about to fall was well known, so no one dared to approach him again, for fear of becoming cannon fodder.

The whip sounded three times, and the emperor came in his imperial chariot.

A few censors secretly glanced at the prince several times, they were gearing up and preparing to be the first team to take down the prince.

The emperor sat on the throne, looked around, and couldn't help yawning greatly.I got a little tired after arguing with the imperial concubine yesterday.

The personal eunuch watched his words and expressions, and immediately sang: "Report if you have something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

Several censors immediately rolled up their sleeves and were about to hand over the memorial.

However, one general took the lead and handed over the memorial.

The emperor yawned again, and instead of reading the memorial, he said to the general, "Tell me."

After saluting, the general simply reported: "Our army fought against the Nanzhao Kingdom. General Wang Che died in the battle, and our side killed and wounded over a thousand soldiers." "Defeated?" the emperor shouted.

"Isn't Wang Che good at fighting? Huh?" the emperor snorted coldly.

Many generals in the dynasty bowed their heads.

The censors who wanted to discuss the dismissal of the prince quietly backed away.

The third prince in charge of the Ministry of War came out, his tone full of anger.

"Father, the reason for this defeat is not Wang Che. On the day when we fought against the Nanzhao Kingdom, Wang Che ordered the three armies to set fire to the Nanzhao Kingdom's barracks, but was stopped by the supervising army, which led to our army's defeat. Before the battle, With one enemy against a hundred, Wang Che bravely won the three armies, and died of exhaustion."

The third prince's tone became more and more excited. "If you lose this battle, you will punish Wen Zhong, the supervisor."

Since the emperor came to the throne, he has issued an order.Appoint an eunuch as the supervisor of the army, and the commander-in-chief is not allowed.Over the years, the eunuch's position in the barracks was unshakable.

Because compared to generals, His Majesty obviously trusts eunuchs more.

The emperor's personal eunuch's eyes twitched slightly, Wen Zhong was his godson, the third prince is hot-blooded or did he do it on purpose?He wanted to see how much the third prince could make a fuss before His Majesty died.

With the third prince in front, civil servants and generals immediately stepped forward to help.

Civil officials talk about the past and satirize the present, and say that eunuchs are in danger of seizing power.

The generals were excited, and finally pointed out that Wen Zhong should be killed, and the civil officials seconded.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, more than half of the officials knelt down and begged His Majesty to kill Wen Zhong.

The third prince added fuel to the fire and said: "Father, please dismiss the commanders and supervisors and recall them to the palace."

It has become a difficult situation to ride a tiger.

Prime Minister Right thought to himself, Wen De, the personal eunuch who followed the emperor back then, cooperated internally and externally to help the emperor force the palace, and successfully ascended to the throne, he is a veteran who is used to the situation.The third prince protects his subordinates, and the noble concubine Wen Shu protects them, and the gods fight with villains. This calamity may be terrible, and I don't know how many people will be involved.

He looked around and saw that the fourth prince, fifth prince and the courtiers around him bowed their heads like quails, as if they were calming down and there was no need to get burned.He felt a little bit resentful towards the irresponsible fourth prince and fifth prince.

His eyes couldn't help turning to the prince, who was as bright as the bright moon and as tall and straight as a green pine, as if he could stand still even in the wind and rain from all directions.This majestic uprightness is trustworthy.

At this time, the emperor asked, "Your Prime Minister, tell me what to do?"

The Prime Minister on the right blurted out: "What does the prince think?"

Above the court hall, all eyes were on the prince.

It was only then that Prime Minister Right suddenly realized that he spoke out what was in his heart without choosing words.It really caused a disturbance to the prince for no reason.Right Xiang felt ashamed.

Prince, if the right minister hadn't told the prince, no one in the court would have cast their eyes on the prince. At the moment when the queen was deposed, everyone sentenced the prince to death, and everyone ignored the prince for their own sake.

Ziqi saluted slowly under the sudden, disdainful, contemptuous or pitying gazes of the crowd, and said, "Gu remembers when I was young, Wen Zhong rode a horse for Gu. The maids didn't let Gu eat candy, Wen Zhong also secretly fed Gutang to eat..."

Ziqi smiled lightly, as if recalling the past when he was young.

"Wen Zhong is a loyal and honest eunuch. When he went to the frontier, he made an oath that in order to repay his father's kindness, he would take good care of the frontier general for his father."

"Prince, don't just talk about ancient times..." Yu Shi retorted.

Ziqi raised his head slightly, and said to the emperor: "I believe that this matter needs to be investigated carefully, and Wen Zhong cannot be wronged, nor can General Wang Che be wronged."

Only then did the heart that was held on the right gently let go.

Being impartial can also allow both parties to have a step down.Look, that smiling tiger Wende's complexion is much better.

The third prince continued to insist, and said again: "My son begs the emperor to dismiss all the supervisors of the marshals of the armies."

The third prince is not as caring as Concubine Wen Shu.Wende thought to himself.

He accompanied the emperor step by step. If it was said who knew His Majesty best in the world, Wen De believed that he would dare to say that he was the second, and no one would dare to say that he was the first.His Majesty likes Concubine Wen Shu and dotes on her to heaven, but he doesn't favor the third prince much.

When the emperor was a teenager, he was confined outside the palace.Extremely distrustful of people, especially siblings in the royal family.After the emperor came to the throne, he killed all the people in the royal family.The emperor can dote on the women who are attached to him, but he has no preference for his more than ten princes.

Only those who can make His Majesty feel comfortable can be favored.

Those who make His Majesty feel threatened will only cause trouble.

Look, the emperor ignored the third prince, but looked at the prince.

The emperor tried his best to open his eyes and looked at Ziqi: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Ziqi said: "It is not necessary to dismiss all of them, but it is enough to choose eunuchs who are prudent and loyal to serve as military supervisors."

The emperor felt that this sounded pleasing to the ear, the eunuch was someone who followed him and made great contributions to him, so of course he couldn't be dismissed casually, wouldn't this be a slap in the face of himself.

"Okay, then tell me, who should supervise the army?"

Ziqi knelt down on the ground: "I'm a guilty person, I dare not associate with eunuchs, and I don't know which one of them is virtuous. I hope that the emperor can be recommended by the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies."

"Yes." The emperor yawned again and nodded, agreeing with him.

The imperial censor was indignant, but His Majesty actually agreed. This is the complete defeat of the third prince.

He immediately criticized: "What if the supervising army still takes power and the general dies in battle?"

Ziqi replied softly: "If the military supervisor they recommend is not qualified, then the eunuch recommended by the supervisor of ceremonies will be guilty of the same crime."

"I'll leave everything to my father and emperor." Ziqi finally said.

"allow."

Then he ordered: "Recall Wen Zhong, and I will inquire personally. Wang Che is dead, and the Ministry of War discusses a candidate to replace Wang Che. That's all, let's retire."

The emperor, who was used to wind and rain, felt that these trivial matters should not bother him.The emperor got on the imperial chariot, went straight to the bedroom, and went to catch up on sleep.

After the emperor woke up, Wen De immediately knelt on the ground, reprimanded Wen Zhong, and then confessed his feelings for His Majesty.Finally, with snot and tears, he said: "Your Majesty, the slaves request the dismissal of the eunuchs who oversee the army."

The emperor was a little confused, so he asked, "Why?"

Wen De immediately said: "Except for the Nanzhao Kingdom, there are still wars, and the rest of the country is under His Majesty's dragon prestige. The servants feel that this eunuch is not of much use outside, and they all look forward to seeing His Majesty Longyan again day and night. "

Wen De presented letters from eunuchs from all over the country begging to return to the palace.

The emperor immediately remembered the past with these eunuchs, "Okay, let's call them all back."

"Your Majesty, we still have to wait. They are old and immortal. We have prepared gifts for you. Hey, don't let the slaves tell His Majesty."

The emperor smiled, "Oh, they were sold by you. Xingzhen will wait and see, you can go to the right minister to make an order and recall them all."

"Okay." Wende immediately agreed.

"Concubine Wen Shu is waiting for you, Your Majesty."

The emperor agreed, and immediately went to the banquet of Concubine Wen Shu.

Wen De went to the side hall to pour himself a cup of tea, and immediately the little eunuch beat his back and legs.

"Grandpa, are you really withdrawing?"

"Withdraw, all withdraw." Wende said meaningfully. "So many years of money..." There are mountains and seas of money donated to people from all over the world. If they are withdrawn, where will they go to get the money.

"You know nothing." Wende kicked the little eunuch.

The prince's soft knife kills people without blood. If he doesn't withdraw, he will be caught by the courtiers sooner or later, and he will also be unlucky.Withdraw now, but let those civil servants let go, and don't have to spit out the money for so many years.

"The little one ran this trip for Grandpa?" "You go, I will talk to the prime minister myself."

Wen De got up and went to find the right minister in Wenshu Pavilion.

The Prime Minister on the right was sorting out the government affairs. When he saw Wen De coming in, he immediately put down what he was doing and said, "Why are you here?"

Wen De said with a smile: "Why don't you welcome me? I have good news for you. Your Majesty is going to withdraw eunuchs from all over the country. Please draw up an order." "Are you kidding me?" Nine points of belief, one point of doubt, but still said so.

"I don't believe that you don't have any thoughts in your mind after you go to court." Wende poked the right phase.

The Prime Minister on the right smiled, and when the crown prince finished speaking, he inevitably had his thoughts moved, and immediately asked people to investigate the faults of the eunuchs, and gave them hard evidence.

Unexpectedly, Wende was an old fox, so he easily picked off this hot potato.

However, it is also a good ending to let the eunuch solve this disaster by himself without bloodshed.

Wen De looked at the fox tail that could not be concealed by the Prime Minister on the right, cursed the old fox secretly, and then said: "As for the other things, the prime minister please hold your hands high."

But the right minister stretched out two fingers, splitting the bill.

Wen De put down one finger of the right minister, and divided the bill.

The two reached a tacit agreement, and the right minister wrote the will.The whole world knew about the patient's return to Beijing.

The favorability of some generals in the Ministry of War for the prince has skyrocketed, while some veteran officials in the court are impressed by the prince.As soon as Ziqi made a move, he bribed countless ministers.

Only the right minister sighed, the crown prince's tricks are brilliant, and his political skills are extraordinary.It's just that Wende's financial resources have been cut off, and Wende's enemy has been formed, and life in the future may not be easy.
