Later, I became the prince of the group

The rebellion of the king of Pingcheng County was logically instigated by the thieves in the Southern Jin Dynasty, causing the king of Pingcheng County to make a mistake. General Hussars was fined for one year because of his ignorance, and he was temporarily dismissed from his post at home. The bachelor returned to the court with his original post.

The concubine of Pingcheng County is still in prison, no one cares about how to deal with a dying person, even the Lu family dare not plead for her, after all, it is true that she was bewitched, but it is true that the princess almost couldn't survive the poison .

Everyone in the court is concerned about what to do with Liangzhou now, and what attitude they will have towards Nanjin.There are quarrels every day at court, and even a day of quarreling can't be sure of the letter.

After several days of endless arguments, Emperor Chengxing was already a little bored. He watched the group of people headed by Cheng Guogong talk about fighting every day, and he couldn't help doubting the loyalty of these people.

Is it really like what they said, "The Southern Jin Dynasty deceived people too much, which is a serious problem and should be punished", or do they want to rely on what is happening now to make themselves, the emperor, dependent on them and cannot do without them so that they can firmly hold military power Hold it in your hand?

Emperor Chengxing looked at these people coldly, glanced at the sons below from the corner of his eye, and said, "Okay, don't argue, third child, what do you think?"

The ministers who were in charge of the battle looked at Chu Rui in unison, hoping that he could say a few words to make His Majesty make up his mind.

Chu Rui thought for a while and said: "I think what the ministers said is not unreasonable. The current situation in the Southern Jin Dynasty is chaotic, and the internal fighting cannot be stopped. Naturally, I want to ensure that there is no threat from foreign enemies. Now it is necessary to provoke Liangzhou against the imperial court. I want us to have internal conflicts in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so that we can hold back our army. If the Southern Jin Dynasty can provoke Liangzhou today, it may provoke other people tomorrow. If they really succeed, it will only waste money and food for Northern Qi , so it is better to directly send troops to the Southern Jin Dynasty, but it can suppress the Southern Jin Dynasty, so that the Southern Jin Dynasty has no time to play tricks."

Emperor Chengxing glanced at Li Pingrui calmly. The right minister was born in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Whether he supported sending troops or not, he was easy to fall into the trap of others.Therefore, he has not participated in these debates in the past few days, and when he was dragged into the water occasionally, he withdrew calmly, as if he had made up his mind not to get involved in this matter.

Chu Rui and Prime Minister You are close. Emperor Chengxing knew it clearly, and even acquiesced in it. He thought that Chu Rui would have the same attitude as Prime Minister Right, at least to remain neutral, but this is not the case, and he didn't know what to do. You should be happy.

Emperor Chengxing was silent for a moment, and suddenly called Chu He's name again.

Chu He had just lifted his foot restraint not long ago, and heard that Chu Yan was released after being imprisoned for less than seven days. Aware of Emperor Chengxing's partiality, he was very silent and cautious in court.

He could see that Emperor Chengxing was dissatisfied with Chu Rui's answer, so he turned to ask him, but Chu Rui's answer was no different from what he thought. He couldn't figure out what answer Emperor Chengxing wanted, so he could only ask him. Bite the bullet and said: "I just heard the arguments of the adults, and I feel that there is something contradictory. Since we can't fight internally, why should we deal with Liangzhou? Isn't this exactly what the Southern Jin Dynasty wanted?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Rui snatched the words: "Second brother's words are wrong. There is no conflict between attacking the Southern Jin Dynasty and attacking Liangzhou. The plan of the Southern Jin Dynasty is to arouse the hatred of the King of Pingcheng County, and then raise troops secretly. Ma, it will take at least two or three years until we have the strength to raise an army. Now that the matter has been exposed early, with Liangzhou's current strength, our army cannot be shaken by an inch, and it is not a matter of internal friction. Attacking Liangzhou at this time , but to extinguish the flames in the cradle, it is a safe view. The so-called peace of mind before fighting against the outside, and pacification of Liangzhou, so that we can send troops to the Southern Jin Dynasty with peace of mind."

Chu He barely suppressed the corners of his twitching mouth, and pulled out a smile that was not a smile: "It's still the third brother who is far-sighted, and even considered the future troubles."

Emperor Chengxing was impatient to hear their quarrel, and simply looked at the last person: "Chu Yan, what do you think of this matter?"

The ministers all slandered, what could King An say?His Majesty must be impatient with their disputes, so he asked the prince everywhere to divert his attention, so whether they want to discuss it later...

Chu Yan stood up, glanced at the steps calmly, and deliberately showed a hint of confusion on his face: "Actually, I have never thought about it..."

Minister: Sure enough, alas.

Chu Yan: "How come the adults are either positive or negative, either with the blade or the back of the blade. Is it not advisable to retract the sheath?"

Emperor Chengxing became a little interested: "Oh? What do you mean?"

"Take the matter of Liangzhou as an example. I heard that some people said that they sent troops to attack the rebels, and I also heard that they sent people to negotiate a contract not to go to war." Chu Yan sneered, "But who said that Liangzhou Need to attack?"

"The King of Pingcheng learned that everything was a conspiracy, and now he's probably thinking about self-preservation. Of course, even if he thinks to the extreme, he thinks that a hero must die on the battlefield, but the [-] soldiers and horses behind him are also from the Northern Qi Dynasty. Soldiers and horses, if the court guarantees that they will be safe, who is willing to follow Liang Wang to do the inevitable rebellion?"

The ministers froze for a moment.

This... this statement makes sense!

"In my opinion, Liangzhou soldiers and horses can be directly taken back and dispersed into other armies. The king of Pingcheng County can have an order from his father to keep them alive and escort them back to the imperial city or confine them on the spot in Liangzhou. Chu Li still retains the clan. treatment, or exile the king of Pingcheng County to the northwest, Liangzhou sent a new Zhizhou to go there, Chu Li and the old Liang King took them back to Beijing and put them under house arrest as hostages, and kept the clan treatment. Choose one of the two, and you will be guaranteed Pingcheng County Wang obediently surrendered, after all, what he wants now is to save the lives of his father and son so that they can live well in this life, as long as it can be achieved, he will not be so stupid as to fight a useless battle."

Hearing this, the stubborn minister wanted to refute on the spot.

Naturally, there is no problem with confinement, but as the son of a traitor, Chu Li has no right to retain the treatment of the clan!

But Emperor Chengxing didn't care about the opinions of the people below. Finally, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he asked again: "What about the Southern Jin Dynasty?"

Chu Yan said: "I think you can't send troops now."

There was an uproar.

It's not that no minister has thought this way, but so far, only Chu Yan has said so carelessly.

Emperor Chengxing felt relieved and asked, "Why?"

Chu Yan smiled lightly: "Unlike your lords, I have so many reasons to say, I just know that if it is feasible to send troops, the father has already given the order, and the father has not yet made up his mind. There must be other considerations for my idea, so why should I come up with an idea to embarrass my father."

The Manchu minister who came up with an idea: "..."

Chu He and Chu Rui, who made things difficult for the emperor: "..."

Just now I was secretly amazed in my heart, thinking that Wang An was a bystander, and what he said made people suddenly understand, but now I find that Wang An is really lucky and has the ability to flatter, unreliable or unreliable.

Several older adults immediately took a step forward holding the wat board, wanting to argue with Chu Yan.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Yan saw this scene, he sat back directly, and said repeatedly: "Masters, be merciful, you can't convince me, and I can't convince you, let's save some time, go to court early, and do things early. "

The few ministers almost didn't come up at one breath, and it was not good to really drag King An to argue. If it is meaningful to argue with others, but to argue with King An, heh, they think it is a waste of time.

After Chu Yan spoke nonsense like this, Emperor Chengxing not only didn't even give a symbolic reprimand, but the eyebrows were completely stretched.

He glanced over the crowd below, and without hiding his thoughts, he said sarcastically: "It's such a simple truth. You have read poetry and books, but you can't figure it out."

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, for a while they were a little dazed, but a few people understood the meaning and bowed their heads peacefully without saying a word.

What Emperor Chengxing wanted to hear was nothing more than "Your Majesty has his own considerations", but unfortunately, the people standing below couldn't even see through this point.

No, it's not necessarily all invisible.Emperor Chengxing glanced at Prime Minister Right, with Li Pingrui's ability, he probably figured out the reason why he didn't want to send troops.

Following Emperor Chengxing's statement, the matter of the Southern Jin Dynasty and Liangzhou has temporarily come to a conclusion - the former is temporarily pressed, and the latter is handled according to the method Chu Yan said.

Those who refused to give up and wanted to discuss it again were all bypassed by the emperor and talked about other things.

Among these "other things", it was decided that Chu Hefeng would leave the palace.

On the surface, it is a very simple thing for the prince to become king, but there is actually a turbulent situation hidden behind it.Chu He is not like the relaxed Chu Yan. Behind him is the Zhu family, and there are many courtiers and staff who are attached to the Zhu family and stand on his side, so when he writes a letter to the king, the attention of the court is very distracted.

The topic of Nan Jin gradually faded away.

When the emperor mentioned the autumn hunting, the ministers completely gave up.

It is a big event every year for the royal autumn hunting to go to the palace. The elders, juniors, and female relatives of the high-ranking ministers can accompany them for half a month. The emperor carries his seal with him and discusses affairs in the palace. Shou is in Beijing to handle affairs, and this year it happens to be the left prime minister's turn.

The princes and princesses in the palace, except the eighth prince and the seventh princess who are still young, all go to the palace together.

The news of Autumn Hunting came down half a month in advance, in order to let the ministers who need to accompany you arrange the matters at hand in advance.

During this period, the batch of customizations that Tao Lefang had previously received was completed, and Liu Qi took a pair of each set of chess and cards, and sent them to the Liu family as promised.

Hearing that his mother was at his grandmother's place, he went to his grandmother's yard, and when he reached a corner, he had a clear vision, only to find two strange women walking along the road with a group of maids not far away.

Liu Qi paused, trying to avoid suspicion when he overheard the conversation on the other side.

"Sister Qing, how about I pretend to be your maid then?"

"No, Sister Zhen is the cousin of the Liu Mansion anyway, so I don't dare to let you be my maid. When the time comes, you can just go with me. Since I promised you, I will guarantee you to go."

"Then thank you, sister Qing."

"But since you're going to Autumn Hunting, you'd better say hello to Mrs. Hou in advance."

"That's natural."

Liu Qi didn't pay much attention, he took a detour to his grandmother's yard, and as soon as he entered the main room, he saw his mother and grandmother waiting.

Seeing the two get up, Liu Qi hurriedly told them not to salute: "Why are you all relatives of my elders, how does it make me feel better every time you come here like this?"

Mrs. Liu heard that there was a little bit of grievance in his tone, she couldn't help but feel distressed, and sighed: "You are a member of the royal family after all, and the etiquette cannot be dismissed."

Liu Qi curled his lips, and couldn't help but insisted: "It's also from the Liu family."

As the privilege of a husband and wife, although his name has been included in the Royal Jade Spy and has since been under the control of the royal family, his name has not been erased from the Liu family tree, but only his name remains, and he will not be able to inherit the Liu family's family business in the future. of.

Mrs. Liu saw that he was unhappy, so she stopped mentioning this matter, and said with a happy smile: "The house is very lively today, not only the girl from Cen's mansion came, but also A Qi came back, and even the prince himself came to the door."

Liu Qi thought of the person he met on the road just now, and was a little curious about the girl's background, but when he heard the latter sentence, he was a little confused: "Huh? Where did the prince come from?"

Mrs. Liu wondered: "...His Royal Highness King An came not long before you, don't you know?"

At the same time, Liu Wen and Chu Yan talked hand in hand.

Chu Yan's moves were well-behaved, and he seemed to be following the script. Liu Wen had easily won a game earlier, and in the second game, he was fascinated, and then continued the unfinished topic: "So it's not that your majesty has no intention of attacking the Southern Jin Dynasty, but is just waiting for the opportunity. .”

Chu Yan let out a "hmm", thought for a while and said, "It's not accurate to say that waiting, Father wants to create opportunities."

Seeing his firm tone, Liu Wen couldn't see through him for a moment.

Chu Yan didn't say much, and Liu Wen didn't dare to ask. He was a little absent-minded in this game, and Chu Yan won it back.

Liu Wen stared at the chessboard silently, and suddenly felt that Wang An was like these two games of chess. You thought you were sure of winning in front of him, but you would be overturned by him inadvertently.

Just look at what he wants to show you.
