"What the Fourth Prince said is absolutely right." Wanyan Xiyin, the deputy prime minister of the capital, also expressed his attitude in front of several Han officials. "After all, can we still give up the tens of thousands of soldiers in Yan'an Prefecture?"
"That's right." The eldest prince, Wanyan Oben, who was sitting in the first seat, thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly. "If peace talks are not going to work, we can't show weakness to the Song people."
"Of course I know this." Erliduo sneered, and seemed to be still angry. "But if Huo Nu lets her troops and horses stay in Hexi again and again, what will happen?! Those troops and horses cannot be let go, and we have no intention of letting go. Has the logistics, military pay, and rewards been reduced in Hexi? But Huo Nu must come up with an explanation, otherwise the disaster will be even worse in the future..."
Everyone present, from the three princes, to several central royal ministers, to internal reformers such as Wanyan Xiyin, including Qin Hui, Han Fang and Hong Ya, the surrendered ministers who had just become the chief secretary of the capital province, almost all nodded in agreement.
Huo Nu has indeed crossed the line. If he is not dealt with, where is the central authority?
What if the Daming Prefecture follows suit? And will Balisu use this as an excuse to ask for political rewards from the central government?
However, as I just said, the matter of Huo Nu is not that simple... If they really want to deal with Huo Nu, I'm afraid one of the Third Prince or the Fourth Prince will have to go to Yan'an in person. In this way, as long as Huo Nu doesn't have the heart to rebel, the matter will be almost accomplished.
But the problem is, who can guarantee that the living woman will not rebel? The three princes in power also need to maintain a balance. Why should one of the third or fourth princes abandon such great power and go to the front line to take risks?
"I'll go for my third brother!"
Holding the document in his hand, Wanyan Wushu thought for a while, and finally sighed. "Brother, third brother, continue to take charge of the overall situation. The reform of Hebei Meng'an will be slowed down. I will go to Yan'an to see Huo Nu and deal with the war on the western front. We must not let northern Shaanxi become a wound to the Great Jin Kingdom."
The other two princes looked at each other, relieved. However, many Jurchen nobles below the two princes were a little stunned. Some Han officials, however, were in a trance and sighed.
PS: Thanks to Yun Ge’s fans for their support, and thanks to other big guys for their support… I admit my mistake. This month’s words should have been more than 130,000, but in the end it was more than 10,000 words short. This month’s goal was a complete failure.
However, I still want to wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.
