"You have a leg disease, how can you go to the battlefield?" The emperor was incredulous.
It's no problem for the eldest prince to help him deal with some things, and he is very trustworthy in doing things.
He has good abilities, which always makes him satisfied. He is much more capable than the second and third brothers.
The battlefield is not like the capital.
Until now, the emperor doesn't know that the eldest prince's leg has healed.
However, this does not affect the emperor's use of the eldest prince.
He can still order people around as he pleases.
On the contrary, it is more convenient.
The second prince has a mild temperament and he hasn't learned martial arts yet.
The third prince is a bit impatient and his brain is not very bright.
In the emperor's heart, only the eldest brother is the calmest.
䮍㳔Now the emperor still thinks that the eldest prince is the most suitable for him. He just takes one look at his legs and sighs in his heart.
Then he thought of his eldest grandson, and he felt better.
"Father, I am Ziqi's military advisor and will not be on the battlefield myself. It doesn't matter whether my legs are injured or not."
What the eldest prince said made a lot of sense and it was impossible to refute it.
But if he loses the fight, he won't even have time to escape.
But you can bring more guards to protect him.
The emperor thought about it and asked Shangguan Ziqi.
"What do you think, Prince Rong?"
"I am indeed in need of a military advisor with both talent and integrity."
Shangguan Ziqi certainly did not object. He knew that the eldest prince was a good person and that he needed such an opportunity to increase his prestige among the people.
"Okay, since Jinqi wants to go, go ahead. Bring a few more guards to protect yourself. Come back to me the way you went."
The emperor felt relieved with Shangguan Ziqi around.
After the expedition has been settled, we can start talking about other things.
Shangguan Ziqi left the capital as soon as the court was dismissed, and arranged for departure at the military camp.
But the prince followed the emperor into the imperial study.
The way they get along as both king and minister and friends is very interesting.
The emperor was both amused and angry at the way Prince Rong entered the imperial study as if it was a matter of course.
"What's the matter?" The emperor lifted his skirt and sat on the chair in front of the window.
The prince didn't say anything, but looked around.
The emperor understood immediately.
"Eunuch Hai, take the people out of here."
Eunuch Hai was very sensible. He took the two servants away and even asked the imperial guards to move away.
The prince took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and placed them on the small table in front of the emperor, motioning for him to look at them.
The emperor was curious when he saw his mysterious and cautious expression.
He picked it up and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became.
Because it is written very clearly above.
"Haha, good, good. Great. It's finally opened." The emperor laughed.
"It was really your daughter-in-law who opened it?" The emperor stopped laughing.
The prince nodded.
"You married a great wife. I also have contributed to this. In order to protect her, I specially mobilized a large number of troops to attack the Huguo Temple." The emperor also wanted to make his presence felt.
The prince looked at him with contempt.
"Your Majesty, I have to leave the capital to handle this matter. There are still spies in the capital that have not been cleared out."
The emperor raised his eyebrows. They both understood what he meant.
We can’t let spies investigate and then cause sabotage, and we have to catch Canglan off guard.
"Due to Canglan's invasion this time, the military supplies consumed are too great. I guess the Ministry of Revenue should be in a tight spot, right? Your Majesty, please issue an order to reduce the taxes of the common people and provide some meat for the soldiers fighting on the front line. How can we kill the enemy without strength?" The prince said faintly.
"What did you say? You want me to impose heavy taxes? Do you want to cause a popular uprising? It only happens once every year, how can the people bear the heavy burden?"
"Then you should empty your private treasury and buy more uniforms for the soldiers." The prince was not polite at all.
"You are such a good fellow, Shangguan Hongyi. Why don't you empty your private treasury? Don't forget, it is your responsibility to protect the Wei Dynasty."
......
The two men started arguing over the issue of military supplies in the imperial study, and the argument became more and more intense.
In the end, the emperor was so angry that he ordered the prince to be beaten with a stick, and he had to beat him ten times.
The prince was beaten so badly that he could not get up, and the guards carried him back to the palace.
On the way back to the palace, the prince was still shouting that he would never go to court again, even if the emperor came to invite him personally.
When he returned to Prince E's palace, he went to the princess to complain that he had been beaten.
Then he was going to leave the city to recuperate, and take the princess and daughter to the farm to recuperate and relax at the same time.
The princess couldn't resist, so she called Yu Yuanzheng over and briefly explained to her that she would temporarily take over the household affairs of the palace after her death.
Yu Yuanzheng was a little confused.
Why was my father beaten during the last morning court session?
And he needs to leave the city to recuperate.
"Mother, is father okay?" Yu Yuanzheng asked with concern.
"Don't worry, Zheng'er. He has a thick skin and will be fine after some care." The princess said indifferently.
Then the princess began to hand over the household supplies of the palace.
All the managers were called in and the keys were handed to Yu Yuanzheng in front of them.
The princess scolded him a few more times and that was it.
It seemed like if it was too late, Yu Yuanzheng would push it back to her.
While Yu Yuanzheng was still in a daze, the princess had already started packing her things for her vacation out of town.
After lunch, the princess took the beaten prince and daughter out of the palace.
There were more than thirty guards and ten maids accompanying him along the way.
This news soon spread to a three-courtyard house in the city. This was the residence that the third master Shangguan Hongzhe, who was in mourning, bought for himself after leaving the palace.
The third wife, her two children, and several servants all lived here.
He also knew that after Qiyayuan burned down, Yu Yuanzheng moved to the courtyard where the third old lady used to live.
That day, Shangguan Hongzhe called his wife and two children to his side.
"Madam, your husband has to go on a long journey, so I'll leave the two children to you."
Shangguan Hongzhe looked at his wife Rong Rong. She had been married to him since she was seventeen and had given birth to three children for him. It was impossible to say that she had no feelings for him at all.
In order to protect her and for her safety, he never let her know about his affairs.
He also didn't dare to add more women to his room. If there were more women, there would be more things to do, and it would be difficult to keep secret what he and his mother did.
Over the years, they, mother and son, have done so much and paid so much for the great cause of Canglan Kingdom, especially his mother, who gave up her status as a princess and went to Wei to become a concubine of Prince Rong.
He admired this sacrifice.
"Where does my husband want to go?" When Rong Rong heard this, a feeling of uneasiness immediately surged in her heart.
"Don't ask too much about men's affairs. Just take care of the two children. Ziling is almost eighteen years old. You can find a good family for him and marry him off. Yan'er will be ten years old soon. You should also worry about her marriage. I will leave you 100,000 taels of silver, which is enough for you to live on. You should also spend it frugally."
Shangguan Hongzhe made arrangements as if he was making arrangements for his funeral.
He didn't tell his son to study hard.
Once he leaves, his affairs will sooner or later be known to the Rong Palace. He can no longer care about what will happen to his son in the future.
The son is his father's grandson. Based on this fact, the prince would never kill him.
It is basically impossible for my son to enter the officialdom.
"Dad, when will you come back?" Shangguan Ziling asked worriedly.
If his father were not around, he would have to take care of the entire family, but now the whole family has to mourn for their grandmother and can't do anything.
