Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li's face suddenly turned pale.
Let him, the crown prince, go to the front line to quell the rebellion?
However, there is some truth in what my father said.
Lao Liu is such a good fighter. If I don’t know anything about military affairs, what if this bastard rebels in the future? I can’t rely on these generals in the court for everything!
By that time, many veterans may not be around anymore!
After thinking silently for a while, Yun Li bowed and said, "I obey your order! I will definitely not let you down!"
"Well! That's settled then!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand gently, "By the way, Yuan Cong and his son seem to be still in the Heavenly Prison, right?"
"yes!"
Yun Li bowed.
...
...
Yuan Cong lost Beilu Pass, but not in the hands of foreign enemies. Under the pleading of his ministers, Emperor Wen gave up the idea of killing Yuan Cong's nine clans, but he threw Yuan Cong and Yuan Gui, father and son, into Tianlao, intending to execute them in the autumn.
Emperor Wen pondered for a moment and said, "The court is in need of talents, so I don't want their lives for the time being! You take them with you and let them serve as your vanguards and make meritorious contributions while serving your crimes! You can decide how to tell them!"
Yun Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and he bowed quickly, "I, your son, thank you on behalf of Yuan Cong and his son!"
Emperor Wen has explained it so clearly, why doesn't he understand?
How to tell Yuan Cong and his son?
He must have said that it was because I pleaded for them that my father gave them this opportunity!
My father wants to help me completely subdue Yuan Cong and his son and make them my confidants!
“Study hard!”
Emperor Wen waved his hands and sighed, "When I am in power, the Sixth Brother will not rebel! If I die one day, I don't expect you to defeat your Sixth Brother. Just don't let your Sixth Brother lead the army to break through the Fuzhou defense line..."
Emperor Wen sighed as he spoke, and then announced the adjournment of the court.
After leaving the hall, Emperor Wen suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.
Sixth brother, ah, Sixth brother!
You really make me proud!
It didn’t let my hard work go to waste!
Evil beast!
When you were in the Imperial City, you acted like a coward in front of me and tricked me around!
Do you think that if you run to Shuobei, I won't be able to deal with you?
This time I have to go to Shuobei to beat you up, you evil beast!
Emperor Wen walked quickly to the imperial study while thinking about all sorts of things.
After laughing for a while behind closed doors in the imperial study, Emperor Wen's excitement finally subsided a little.
"Someone, come! Tell Qin Liu to rush into the palace!"
…
"What? Your Majesty is going to Shuobei?"
Upon learning that Emperor Wen was going to Shuobei, Qin Liugan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Emperor Wen immediately glared at Qin Liugan with his eyes bulging. "Isn't Shuobei my territory? I can't go to Shuobei? I don't believe it. If I go to Shuobei, this bastard Lao Liu dares to chop me down!"
“No, no…”
Qin Liugan waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, even if you want to go to Shuobei, you have to make good arrangements! If you rush to Shuobei in such a hurry, what if there is trouble in the imperial city?"
Emperor Wen raised his eyes slightly, "Otherwise, why do you think I summoned you here?"
“…”
Qin Liu was dumbfounded.
So, the emperor wants me to stay at home again?
He just ran out to hang out by himself?
He thought the emperor wanted him to go with him!
Emperor Wen smiled and glared at Qin Liugan, then said, "At the court meeting tomorrow, I will announce that in order to guard against Lao Liu in Shuobei, I will go to Fuzhou to inspect the defense line, choose a place to build a fortress, and let Xu Shifu, Duke of Jingguo, temporarily handle the affairs of the court on my behalf..."
"What?"
Qin Liugan was shocked, "Why would His Majesty let Xu Shifu..."
"I say, how old are you? Why can't you think straight?"
Emperor Wen interrupted Qin Liugan and said meaningfully: "Let him handle it, then I will feel relieved!"
"this……"
Qin Liugan touched his head and looked at Emperor Wen blankly.
But he knew that Prince Yun Li could be deposed at any time.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Wen actually let Xu Shifu handle state affairs on his behalf?
Doesn't this give Xu Shifu an opportunity to form a clique and engage in personal gain?
Seeing that Qin Liugan still hadn't come to his senses, Emperor Wen couldn't help but smile helplessly.
After a while, Emperor Wen stood up and took out a letter from the secret compartment in the imperial study and handed it to Qin Liugan. "The people on this list are all those in the army who have close contacts with the Third Brother. Keep it well! Tomorrow I will order you to temporarily take charge of the Shenwu Army and Yulin Guard. As long as these people are not too serious, you should not touch them and just pay more attention to them!"
"Isn't this... bad?"
Qin Liugan looked at Emperor Wen bitterly, "How about I go to Shuobei with you, I..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Emperor Wen immediately extinguished Qin Liugan's thoughts, "I feel relieved when you are in the Imperial City!"
Qin Liu dared to pause slightly and could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Okay!
After he comes back, I will go to Shuobei by myself!
It’s not a big deal!
Well, that evil beast Qihu really makes me proud.
He actually chopped off Hu Jie's head with his own hands?
Yeah, I’ll go back and burn incense to my ancestors later!
Emperor Wen gave Qin Liugan some instructions before letting him leave with the list.
After Qin Liugan left, Emperor Wen calmed down a little and then called Han Jin, who had rested for a while, to question him.
Han Jin didn't know much, so he could only tell Emperor Wen a general idea.
When Emperor Wen heard this, he was immediately furious: "I asked you to stay in Shuobei, and you really just stayed to watch the fun? The Sixth Brother and his wife have already gone to fight the enemy with swords, how can you have the nerve to watch the fun?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Han Jin knelt down with a bang and lowered his head and said, "We are so afraid of death. Is it because the Sixth Prince doesn't allow us to join the army?"
"You are not allowed to follow the army?" Emperor Wen frowned. "Why, Lao Liu is afraid that you will kill him first in battle?"
“No, no…”
Han Jin quickly explained, "The Sixth Prince was afraid that if he sent someone else back to deliver the message, they would be detained, so..."
After saying this, Han Jin didn't dare to say any more.
But Emperor Wen already understood what Han Jin meant.
"This bastard is really thoughtful!"
Emperor Wen was so angry that he laughed, but he couldn't help but curse to himself: "What a bastard, are you really on guard against me everywhere?"
Han Jin didn't dare to respond and just buried his head.
"Okay, get up!"
Emperor Wen glanced at Han Jin calmly and asked, "Are Lao Liu and the others injured?"
Han Jin stood up and said with his eyebrows lowered: "I heard that the Sixth Prince and the Princess were both injured, but they should be fine..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen could not help but curse himself: "What a bastard! He is in charge of an army of more than 200,000 soldiers, yet he personally puts on armor and goes into battle?"
After learning about the situation in Shuobei from Han Jin, Emperor Wen allowed Han Jin to go down and rest.
After driving Han Jin away, Emperor Wen sat there alone again. Sometimes he couldn't help laughing foolishly, and sometimes he looked worried.
Later, Emperor Wen strolled into the Southern Study.
The South Study is where the princes and princesses study.
A small number of meritorious children who were granted special permission by the emperor could also study in the Southern Study with the princes and princesses.
Emperor Wen briefly inquired about the academic performance of each prince and princess, and then began to assess the academic performance of the princes and princesses individually.
However, when it was the ninth son's turn, Emperor Wen did not test him with anything from the books.
After briefly explaining the situation to Lao Jiu, Emperor Wen asked Lao Jiu with the intention of testing him: "Do you know why I let Xu Shifu handle state affairs on my behalf?"
Lao Jiu thought for a moment and said respectfully, "My son is stupid, please forgive me, father."
"I won't tell you, figure it out yourself!"
Emperor Wen shook his head slightly and said seriously: "Think about it carefully. When I come back from Fuzhou, I will ask you for the answer! Don't ask others! Otherwise, I will punish you!"
"Your son obeys your command!"
Lao Jiu respectfully accepts the order...
