After a moment's silence, Yun Zheng decided to throw the question to Emperor Wen.
"I just wanted to put down Bambu's prestige, not to reward him..."
Yun Zheng acted as if he was simple and honest.
Emperor Wen glanced at him and began to think silently again.
After a long while, Emperor Wen seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "How about this, I will allow you to privately recruit soldiers!"
boom!
As Emperor Wen finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
Yun Zheng also looked at Emperor Wen stupidly, feeling surprised and happy.
Private placement of soldiers!
This is a power only the crown prince and the prince have!
...
...
This old guy actually promised himself the right to privately recruit soldiers?
Depend on!
Could it be that this old guy saw something and was testing me on purpose?
Yun Zheng's mind was working rapidly, secretly wondering whether he should agree or not.
Of course he wants to have the power to privately recruit soldiers!
But he must be careful about the trap set by his cheap father!
If you take this wrong step, you may lose your head!
"Are you stupid?"
Seeing Yun Zheng standing there stupidly, Emperor Wen couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"this……"
Yun Zheng decided to retreat in order to advance, and shook his head repeatedly, saying: "This is not appropriate. I... I dare not privately recruit soldiers. I don't know how to train soldiers. I..."
“That’s enough!”
Emperor Wen interrupted Yun Zheng, "Aren't you afraid that people will accuse you of treason?"
Yun Zheng lowered his head and said nothing.
I'm especially afraid that you will test me!
Serving the king is like serving a tiger!
"I will give you one soldier!"
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Zheng calmly and said, "If you can successfully rebel with just one soldier, I will willingly give you the throne!"
Yun Zheng still kept his head down and deliberately didn't respond.
A song of soldiers?
Five hundred people?
It’s a little less.
But no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat!
Of course, in the era of cold weapons, it would be impossible to rebel with only 500 soldiers, but it was more than enough to ensure security.
Seeing Yun Zheng's cowardly look, Emperor Wen couldn't help but secretly shook his head, and ordered the guards: "Ask Du Guiyuan and the other three to come in!"
The guards obeyed the order.
Soon, Du Guiyuan and three others were brought in.
"Your Highness."
The three of them saluted quickly.
"No need to be polite!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand gently, "With your three talents, it's really a waste of talent to just be a guard! I have already allowed Lao Liu to privately recruit a group of soldiers. You will train this group of soldiers for Lao Liu!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although the three were a little confused, they immediately obeyed the order.
"Okay, I'll have someone notify the Ministry of Works. Send someone to get the armor and weapons tomorrow!" Emperor Wen stood up and patted Yun Zheng on the shoulder. "Remember, there's only one song! If you dare to recruit one more person, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son!"
After saying this, Emperor Wen walked out.
Yun Zheng pretended to be stunned for a while, then chased after him, "Your Highness, I will see you off!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly but said nothing.
Only after they boarded the carriage did Emperor Wen open the curtain and look at Yun Zheng. "I am not afraid of your rebellion, and I believe you don't have the ability to do so! You should understand my intention on your own!"
Yun Zheng nodded and stood there to see Emperor Wen off respectfully.
In the carriage, Emperor Wen shook his head and sighed.
After walking several dozen meters away, Emperor Wen lifted the curtain and looked back, only to see Yun Zheng still standing there, like an idiot.
"well!"
Emperor Wen sighed and murmured to himself, "I hope your five hundred soldiers will never be of any use!"
It was not until Emperor Wen and his entourage completely disappeared from sight that Yun Zheng slowly raised his head with a bitter smile on his face.
This old guy is forcing himself to use his ultimate move!
After what happened to Emperor Wen, Yun Zheng no longer had the appetite to eat that night. He ate something casually and went back to his room to think about a solution.
“Knock, knock…”
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"I!"
Ye Zi's voice came.
Yun Zheng stood up and quickly opened the door.
"Your Highness seems unhappy?"
Ye Zi asked curiously as soon as she entered the door.
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Do you think I should be happy?"
"Of course I should be happy."
Ye Zi nodded and said, "This is a special favor from His Majesty!"
Grace?
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Grace is indeed grace, but it is a bit too much.
I don’t know if this old man suddenly had an overabundance of fatherly love. Why did he give me such a favor?
"I would rather not have this favor!"
Yun Zheng rubbed his head with a headache.
Looking at Yun Zheng's sad face, Ye Zi suddenly had the urge to take off her shoes and slap Yun Zheng in the face.
Look!
Is this what people say?
If others were to obtain the privilege of privately hiring soldiers, they would probably be extremely happy!
He is so good, he is still worrying here!
Is he afraid that he can't afford to support these 500 soldiers?
Yun Zheng shook his head and looked at Ye Zi meaningfully, "If it were you, would you rather take these 500 soldiers or go to Shuobei?"
Um?
Ye Zi's heart suddenly moved, and she asked in surprise, "Your Highness means that the emperor doesn't want you to go to Shuobei anymore?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you want me to go to Shuobei, why give me five hundred soldiers?"
He was secretly happy before.
But after thinking about the key point, I suddenly felt that five hundred soldiers were not enough.
I'm going to Shuobei to seize military power!
What the hell do you want five hundred soldiers to do?
"this……"
Ye Zi was slightly stunned and suddenly speechless.
yes!
Yun Zheng’s ultimate goal is to go to Shuobei!
As long as he goes to Shuobei, he will have three thousand soldiers and horses!
Three thousand and five hundred, even a fool would know how to choose!
"That's a bit troublesome."
At this moment, Ye Zi also began to worry.
What's the point of letting Yun Zheng stay in the imperial city and giving him 500 palace soldiers?
Can he succeed in his rebellion with only 500 soldiers?
If Yun Zheng stays in the imperial city, he will never be able to move freely!
“It’s really troublesome!”
Yun Zheng rubbed his head with a headache.
This kind of meritorious service has led to bad consequences!
It hurts!
Ye Zi thought about it and asked again: "Will His Majesty give you 500 palace soldiers as your personal soldiers when you go to Shuobei to protect your safety?"
"You are stupid!"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her. "If that's what Father really intended, he would have directly drawn troops from the six imperial guards to fill the gaps between my palace soldiers! And he wants me to recruit privately? By the time I train the palace soldiers and then go to Shuobei, it will be too late!"
"this……"
Ye Zi was speechless.
It seems that this is indeed the case.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zi asked again: "So what are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do?"
Yun Zheng spread his hands and said, "Let's recruit soldiers first! I'm ready to use my ultimate move!"
This heavy fatherly love is really too much to bear!
"Ultimate move?"
Ye Zi tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.
"Don't worry about this for now."
Yun Zheng waved his hand and said, "Since my father has given me the power to privately recruit soldiers, I have to use it! Tomorrow, you can help me find a place nearby to house the soldiers. I don't need to tell you the specific requirements, right?"
"Yes, it is nothing more than a place for garrison and training."
Ye Zi thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to find such a place, but it's not easy to find one near your mansion."
In fact, it would not be a problem for Yun Zheng's mansion to accommodate 500 soldiers if they squeeze in.
But if you want to train the palace soldiers, that won’t work.
In particular, the palace soldiers had to be trained in riding and archery.
In a small place, the horses can't even run, so what's the point of riding and shooting?
"Let's look for it first! We'll talk later if you can't find it."
Yun Zheng rubbed his head, feeling extremely depressed...
