The two hurried into the palace, and when the servants arrived at Chengqian Palace, Feng Gonggong, who was beside the saint, was standing outside the palace. When he saw Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng coming, he hurried over and said in a low voice: "My lord, my little lord!" , The Holy Dragon is sick, and has already fallen asleep after taking medicine."

Ling Xiao nodded, and said in a low voice: "Then I would like to trouble my father-in-law to come back and pass it on. His Royal Highness has already come to greet you."

"It doesn't matter." Eunuch Feng sighed, "The Holy One urgently summoned the King of England and the Young Lord to discuss the northern affairs. I heard that..."

Ling Xiao often rewarded Eunuch Feng, and he didn't hide it, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, do you know why you are so eager to announce our entry into the palace?" Seeing Eunuch Feng's face with embarrassment, Ling Xiao said lightly: "You don't need to be like this, Eunuch. The Holy Majesty will definitely say it when he sees me and the prince later, and it's not at this moment. It's just for peace of mind."

Eunuch Feng thought for a while and nodded, and said in a low voice: "Young Lord, let me tell you the truth, the northwestern wind is marching to report urgently at Yinshi today, and the Huns have raised their troops to overwhelm the border. I'm afraid they have already fought with our northern army, and..."

Eunuch Feng took a step outside and said softly: "Your Majesty has been in a bad condition since he was young. Hearing about this this morning made him even more angry. He really can't get up. Now the crown prince is summoning the ministers to the council hall. His Royal Highness and Young Master come with me."

Ling Xiao couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, the north side must be against him, every time the old emperor has to rush to make things happen when he is not in good health!

Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng followed Eunuch Feng to the council hall, and Eunuch An, who was beside the prince, came over to salute and said, "Please wait for a while, the lord and the young lord, there is a lot of trouble inside, you two, please wait for a while."

Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced, and King Hui's valet was waiting outside the hall.

Ling Xiao suppressed his anger. When he returned to the court, the prince ordered Yan Shi to leave [-] soldiers to garrison. Now it seems that it is useless.But now there are not many generals who can be used in the court. After Zhang Ji's death, Wei Zhengfu is naturally the leader. But the royal family can't let Wei Zhengfu go to the front line. No matter how unbearable the situation is, Wei Zhengfu will If she was left in the imperial city to protect the royal family, then looking down, she would be Fu Jieqin in terms of seniority, and Chu Yifeng in terms of military merit.

Ling Xiao glanced back at Chu Yifeng. Chu Yifeng has always been very sensitive in military matters. He must be thinking deeper and farther than himself at this time. Chu Yifeng met Ling Xiao's gaze, nodded and said softly: "Grandfather and father I should be sent out, with Fu Jieqin as the lieutenant general...there should be Wu Ji, but I probably won't be allowed to accompany you again."

Ling Xiao closed his eyes, Chu Yifeng thought really well, Chu Yifeng has been to the north to be familiar with the environment and terrain there, and he has made military exploits there, so he is probably the most suitable candidate, what's more...Although Chu Yifeng is a prince, but There is not only one prince in the Chu dynasty, nor is there only one son for the crown prince. Even if he died in the north, it would not be a big deal. The court fully accepted the loss.

Chu Yifeng felt the change in Ling Xiao's mood, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be like this, even if they don't say it, I will ask for a fight..." Ling Xiao shook his head lightly. It wasn't this that he was angry with, the court had almost confirmed it. Let Chu Yifeng go on an expedition, and called them in such a hurry, but after calling them, they were not allowed to enter the main hall to discuss matters!

King Hui can discuss matters in the hall!On the premise of protecting his own interests, he was discussing the military force and food to be equipped for Chu Yifeng!But they have to stand here, waiting for the decision of the cabinet.

Maybe Ling Xiao's status is not enough to enter the main hall, but what about Chu Yifeng? !He is the orthodox emperor's grandson, a general who will be relied on by the imperial court, but the crown prince, but the imperial court did not give him the respect he should have.

Ling Xiao heard some orders from the little eunuch who had served him in Fengge. Ling Xiao sneered. Originally, he wanted to slowly save the country and seek power for Chu Yifeng. Now that they don't take Chu Yifeng seriously, Ling Xiao He won't take others seriously any more. What kind of strategy or the art of power-seeking is his own. Ling Xiao has never asked for face when others are shameless. How can such an active general power be sent up? Accept the truth? !

The two waited outside the hall, and not long after, many relatives and noble ministers came one after another. After waiting for an hour, they finally negotiated in the hall. Everyone outside the Prince Xuan Hall entered the hall, and Ling Xiao followed Chu Yifeng.

When Ling Xiao entered the hall, he glanced away from the corner of his eye. The prince and King Hui had different expressions. Ling Xiao sneered in his heart. Who paid attention to this incident today?That's right, they wanted Chu Yifeng to pacify the Huns' invasion but also didn't want him to gain more military merits, so they were very hesitant.

"Tell them what happened just now." The crown prince leaned tiredly on the chair under the dragon chair. King Hui knew it, and told the military report from Feng Marching recently, and said again: "The Xiongnu have assembled a hundred thousand Dajun, Master Yan may have already confronted the Xiongnu at this time. This new Shanyu has never had a good relationship with our dynasty, and there is no reason to rush out this time. The most likely reason is that the lack of food and grass came to plunder. Of course We still need to send people to investigate this, the most important thing for now is to send generals to support Master Yan."

The prince rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and said in a low voice: "Is there any good general who volunteers to go?" Having said that, many people in the hall looked at Chu Yifeng.

"I want to go willingly." Chu Yifeng took a step forward, and Ling Xiao also took a step forward, bowing and saying: "In the past when Zhang Ji's rebel army was put down, I served under the King of England. Now that the Huns have invaded the country, I am willing to serve the British again." The king serves dogs and horses."

Chu Yifeng's guess was right, the prince immediately disapproved of Ling Xiao's words, Ling Xiao was not moved by it at all, your father is not dead yet, it doesn't matter if you are willing or not.If you have the guts to send guards to stop me like last time, Ling Xiao sneered, but it's a pity that you can no longer stop the current Young Lord Ling from going to court.The title of second-class general is here, and it stands firm and tenable.

The prince nodded: "Quasi."

Then, as Chu Yifeng expected, the crown prince appointed His Royal Highness Chu Yifeng as the general to command the whole army, appointed Fu Jieqin as the general of the hussars, appointed Wuji as the general of the chariots, and appointed Ling Xiao as the general of the guards.

No matter what, this hot potato can be followed by someone. Many generals in the palace sighed secretly. Going to the north to fight against the Huns is really a hard nut to crack. , if you lose your head there, it would be too worthless. Even if you come back from a near-death victory, you will have a headache like a master of merit. Just look at the current king of England. After returning to the court after the first battle in the north, the crown prince treats him well. Ever had a good face?

The prince went on to talk about the dispatch of food and grass, and after discussing everything, Ling Xiao stepped forward and said loudly: "I have something to do, please play."

The prince looked at His Highness Ling Xiao and sighed in his heart. He watched Ling Xiao climb up to today's position step by step. He liked his talent and was annoyed by his disobedience, but there was nothing he could do.

Ling Xiao said loudly: "Different from the last time when Zhang Ji's rebel army was put down, this trip to the north is unusual. This is against the Xiongnu Shanyu, and the Huns King personally suppressed the border. We also need a person of great authority to go to the north. Tianwei."

The prince's heart trembled, and when he was about to interrupt, Ling Xiao continued: "I propose to confer His Royal Highness King Ying as Prince Cong Yipin Zhen Guozun."

Chu Yijin almost gritted her teeth when she heard the words.Chu Yifeng was also taken aback. Ling Xiao didn't mention this at all when he was outside the hall. Ling Xiao shook his head lightly at Chu Yifeng. Chu Yifeng understood and nodded without saying a word.

There is a difference between the kings and kings of the Chu Dynasty. Although there are kings of Hui and Ying on weekdays, their salary and food are all the same.

Of course, there are higher ranks of princes, such as Prince Xingguoyu of the third rank, Prince Yuguofeng of the second rank, Prince Yuguozun of the second rank, Prince Zhen Guozun of the first rank, and Prince Jianguo Zunsheng of the first rank.

And Ling Xiao is now inviting for Chu Yifeng, this is Prince Zhen Guozun from the first rank.

Before Ling Xiao got up, the brave general came out: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Governance out of the list: "Senior ministers."

Wu Ji went out: "The minister seconded the proposal."

An Taihou came out: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhen Lizhi came out: "The minister seconded the proposal."

……

The crown prince never expected that so many people would support Chu Yifeng's request for the title with such an open mouth, even Marquis Antai. He is Chu Yifeng's father-in-law, and Chu Yifeng was granted the title of the first-rank Prince Zhen Guozun, his deceased daughter. Even from the first-rank Zhen Guozun Wangfei, it can be said that the administration followed the second proposal. The Shi family and the Ling family have been married for generations, so they are closer than others, but what is Wuji and the brave general? !And Zhen Lizhi actually seconded it!The crown prince glanced at King Hui fiercely, even his own Yue family couldn't manage it well!Actually asked to seal it for someone else!

Ling Xiao chuckled softly as he watched a person in the palace appearing for secondment, the prince, did you think this was a few years ago?Do you still think that Chu Yifeng is the unpopular and heartless grandson of the emperor?Things have changed over time, and it's not yet time to change the dynasty, and even if something happens one day, you have to weigh it carefully, whether Chu Yifeng is still as easy to manipulate as before!

The prince pondered, and smiled: "It's very good, so that I can appease my border soldiers and deter the barbarians of the Xiongnu."

Chu Yifeng glanced sideways at Ling Xiao, nodded, and knelt down to thank Ling Xiao.

After the court meeting was over, the paperwork for several major events that had been settled was drafted and sent to Chengqian Palace, and the old emperor approved it on the same day, all of which were approved.
