Since Cao Cao suggested military reform, let’s try it.
Just some details that need to be changed.
Otherwise, why would they take advantage of this incident to do something foolish and ruin the country?
Ying Yuan said in a deep voice: "I have a plan in mind."
"But then again, when I came here from Wu State, I heard that you stationed your troops here."
"I thought it was you, Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, who had some rebellious intentions and wanted to kill me here."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were immediately horrified and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying:
"I am loyal to Your Majesty, and it is clear to all that I have no such intention!"
"Your Majesty, my husband has no intention of being unfaithful to you."
Ying Yuan just made a joke, but he didn't expect the couple's reaction to be so big.
So, he had no choice but to help Zhu Di up, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:
"I understand your loyalty. But you, you guys, they, don't understand me."
As soon as the words fell.
Ying Yuan turned around.
What he secretly thought was, how great it would be if Zhu Di could carry out the Jingnan Rebellion like he did in his previous life.
Unfortunately, he knew that there would never be such an opportunity again.
Paused.
Ying Yuan then asked, "King of Yan, if the military reforms Cao Cao mentioned go through, it will greatly shake the status of you kings of different surnames."
"To be fair, do you, or Dong Zhuo and the others, want this to happen?"
When Zhu Di heard his words, his mind was suddenly filled with thoughts.
Your Majesty said we don't understand him. What exactly do we not understand? Do we not understand Your Majesty's humor?
[Or is it that what Your Majesty needs is not loyalty, but the ability to get things done?]
[Yes, that's definitely the case. Your Majesty always appoints people based on their talents!]
What's the point of being loyal? The most important thing is to work for His Majesty and serve the country!
[Your Majesty, I understand your good intentions!]
Thinking of this, Zhu Di bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty's heart is as vast as the heavens and the earth. How can ordinary people like us guess your Majesty's intentions?"
"As for Dong Zhuo and his men... I don't know what they will think, but I will always support your majesty's decisions."
Ying Yuan frowned and said, "I don't want to hear these hypocritical lies, and I don't need your flattery. What I need is the truth."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "Ever since Your Majesty released the military power with a toast, the power of the various kings has been greatly reduced."
"I will definitely support your majesty's decision, but as for the other princes, whether they support it or not, I dare not speak rashly."
Ying Yuan understood.
What he meant was that all the kings must have complaints about this matter.
Even if it goes wrong, it may cause opposition from the other kings except Zhu Di.
However, when Zhu Di mentioned the incident of "releasing military power with a cup of wine",
Ying Yuan felt helpless.
At first, he didn't want that at all.
Because of this, I felt uncomfortable for a long time.
After a moment, Ying Yuan nodded and said, "I have already made up my mind. It's late now, so you two should leave for now."
"Yes." Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other and planned to retreat one after another.
After taking only two steps, Zhu Di suddenly turned around, bowed to Ying Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more request."
Hearing this, the latter asked curiously, "A request? It's truly rare for the dignified Prince of Yan to ask of me. Tell me about it."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Your Majesty, when you go to Jin, you must leave two people with you to handle affairs. Your Majesty has met my two children, Gao Chi and Gao Xu."
"These two children have long relied on you, Your Majesty. They hope to learn something during this period by serving you."
"If Your Majesty has any instructions, please feel free to ask my sons to do it. We should also train them well so that they can serve the country in the future."
"I wonder if your Majesty is willing?"
Hearing this.
Ying Yuan and Xu Miaoyun were both surprised.
The former said, "Is that it? I quite like that fat guy Gao Chi. In that case, I will agree to your request."
Zhu Di's face lit up with joy, and he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Yuan waved his hand.
Zhu Di then withdrew.
Leaving Ying Yuan’s tent.
Xu Miaoyun asked in confusion, "What do you mean by letting Gao Chi and Gao Xu stay with His Majesty?"
"Could it be that you intend to use these two children as 'hostages' for His Majesty?"
"In exchange for His Majesty's trust in you?"
Zhu Di looked around, took Xu Miaoyun's hand, and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, what you said today is that you suspect I have a close personal relationship with the Prime Minister. I'm afraid this has violated Your Majesty's taboo!"
"Furthermore, Your Majesty also asked me about the impact of the military reform on the various kings of different surnames. The meaning is self-evident!"
"Miaoyun, I have no choice. Only by doing this can I ensure that Youyun is safe!"
Hear this.
Xu Miaoyun felt terrified when she thought about it, and couldn't help but gasp.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:
"How long has it been since we last parted in Xianyang? Your Majesty's imperial mentality has reached such a terrifying level!"
