As Yun Zheng finished speaking, Emperor Wen suddenly turned his head.
"Do you believe that I can kick you into this lake?"
Emperor Wen's eyes were ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Yun Zheng said bitterly: "Father, I really need Fuzhou!"
well!
I knew that if I mentioned this matter to this old guy, he would definitely spit at me.
"Okay, tell me, what do you want Fuzhou for?"
Emperor Wen turned his head again and said, "You haven't even cleaned up the mess in the Northwest Protectorate? Are you still thinking about Shangfuzhou?"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly: "I want Fuzhou so that I can better govern the Northwest Protectorate!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng told Emperor Wen in detail the reason why he wanted Fuzhou.
...
...
Although Fuzhou is not as prosperous as the south, it is much better than Shuobei.
Before he could conquer the grain-rich basin of Guifang, he needed a piece of land that produced grain.
Moreover, developing business in Fuzhou can radiate to more places.
Another thing is to migrate the population from Fuzhou to the Northwest Protectorate, and then migrate the population from the Northwest Protectorate to Fuzhou, so as to facilitate rapid control of the Northwest Protectorate and completely turn it into Dagan's territory.
To achieve national integration, you need talented people!
Yun Zheng gave Emperor Wen many reasons in one breath.
Of course, some are far-fetched, while others are very convincing.
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Emperor Wen asked, "Have you ever thought that if you use this to force the court to hand over Fuzhou to you, your reputation in the court will be completely ruined! At that time, you will attract countless attacks! I'm afraid many people will call you a traitor..."
Nowadays, there are still many people in the court who support Yun Zheng.
Especially those from the military generals group.
After all, Yun Zheng’s achievements are there.
He accomplished for many generals in the court what they wanted to do but were unable to do.
But if Yun Zheng forced the court to give him Fuzhou, that would be another matter.
Since he has decided to pass the throne to Yun Zheng, he must consider Yun Zheng's reputation.
"I know."
Yun Zheng nodded gently, "But I really need the land of Fuzhou! In addition, if the tribes in western Mo invade again, it will be much more convenient for me to send troops from Fuzhou than from Shuobei! In addition, if my third brother causes trouble when he weakens the clans, I can also deter those people."
Is that so?
Emperor Wen thought about it again.
Yun Zheng’s two reasons are a bit far-fetched.
He has to go wherever troops are sent, so what is the use of the imperial court's troops?
However, this rebellious son is good at commanding troops. If he sends out troops, the deterrent effect may be greater than that of the imperial court.
Hand Fuzhou over to him and see how he deals with those clans and powerful families.
It is equivalent to using Fuzhou as a pilot area for him!
Emperor Wen thought about it and spoke again: "Fuzhou can be given to you, but you must show me your ability to govern the place! But if you dare to covet Zhao Ji's 10,000 soldiers, I will break your legs!"
Most of the imperial court’s war horses were in Shuobei.
There are only 12,000 elite cavalry in the northwest!
Even so, he still had to draw 3,000 elite cavalry from the six guards of the imperial city to supplement them.
This rebellious son had at least 80,000 cavalrymen, and the troops of Beihuan were under his command.
Even though he is in such a state, he still wants to take over those 10,000 elite cavalry?
What? He wants to get all the cavalry of Da Gan under his command?
Do you want to transfer all the remaining cavalry of the six imperial guards to him?
This rebellious son!
Greed is insatiable!
"Father, let's discuss this."
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Believe me, those war horses will definitely be more useful in my hands than in Zhao Ji's hands!"
"Don't talk to me about this!"
Emperor Wen glared at him fiercely, "This is my bottom line! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because I favor you! If you mention this to me again, believe it or not, I will ask you to return the 1,000 war horses you owe me first?"
have to!
This old fellow even brought up the thousand war horses that he had long forgotten about.
It seems that this old man is really angry.
Forget it, since he promised to give Fuzhou to me, I won’t have to think about those war horses!
well!
The food and fodder that I mobilized for the army were wasted!
That’s all! That’s all!
The wool comes from the sheep!
Go and get it back from the third brother!
"Your son listens to your father."
Yun Zheng smiled.
"That's more like it!"
Emperor Wen nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly stood up and roared: "Get out! Get out right now!"
“…”
Yun Zheng's face twitched and he looked at Emperor Wen in astonishment.
Is this old guy studying Sichuan Opera?
Isn't this change of expression too fast?
"I'll take my leave!"
Yun Zheng was speechless and bowed and retreated.
When Yun Zheng retreated, Emperor Wen angrily threw the chair Yun Zheng was sitting on into the lake.
Seeing Emperor Wen getting angry, the palace maids and eunuchs who followed him all knelt down in fear. Only Mu Shun trotted forward, patted the back of Emperor Wen who was breathing heavily, and wailed, "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Emperor Wen didn't say anything, just gasped for breath.
Yun Zheng looked back at Emperor Wen and was filled with admiration.
With this old guy's acting skills, in his previous life, he would have definitely become a movie emperor.
He wasn't afraid that one day he would overact and end up getting angry to death.
Yun Zheng complained in his heart while leaving with his guards with a gloomy face.
Before they had gone far, they ran into Yun Li who was leading his men towards Qingshan Lake.
As soon as the two sides met, Yun Li could no longer suppress his anger.
"Lao Liu, you are so brave!"
Yun Li shouted angrily: "How dare you send troops into the pass without the order of the emperor? What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?"
He wanted to pass on the message to Zhao Ji, but he had no chance.
The cavalry of the Northern Army had blocked the entrance to the valley.
There are also a large number of infantrymen surrounding the outside of the valley, under the pretext of military training!
Even if he mentioned his status as the crown prince, no one would let him go.
Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Yun Zheng was immediately happy.
He was just worrying about where to get the wool from!
Look, his lovely third brother has come to his doorstep.
"Third brother, do you still remember what the emperor said?"
Yun Zheng looked at Yun Li with a smile and was too lazy to even call him "Third Brother".
Anyway, there's no one else around, so there's no need to put on a show for outsiders.
What did the Emperor say?
Yun Li frowned and thought secretly in his heart.
But Emperor Wen said too many things.
He also didn't remember which sentence Yun Zheng was referring to.
"It seems that your memory is not very good!"
Yun Zheng looked at Yun Li with a smile on his face: "My father once announced in front of all the civil and military officials that I can beat anyone who dares to say that I am a rebel, except for him! If you don't agree, go find my father!"
As Yun Zheng finished speaking, Yun Li's expression suddenly changed.
Damn it!
How could I have forgotten this!
"Looks like you remembered it!"
Yun Zheng stared at Yun Li with a half-smile, "Do you want to come forward and get the beating yourself, or do you want me to do it by force?"
"You dare!"
Yun Li roared: "I am the prince!"
"As long as you are not my father, you are all the same in my eyes!"
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently and waved his hand suddenly: "Surround them!"
Following Yun Zheng's order, Yun Zheng's personal guards quickly took action.
They only knew to follow Yun Zheng's orders, and didn't care whether Yun Li was the prince or not.
“Bold!”
As Yun Zheng's guards started to move, Yuan Gui, who was following Yun Li, suddenly shouted, "What do you want to do? This is the crown prince!"
However, Yuan Gui's shouting had no effect at all.
In an instant, Yun Li's three hundred guards were surrounded.
However, Yun Li's guards are no pushovers either.
Everyone drew their weapons and quickly adjusted their formation, protecting Yun Li firmly in the middle.
Yun Zheng didn't care. He just looked at Yuan Gui in surprise, "Captain Yuan, why aren't you dead yet?"
