Chapter 229 The Second Prince Takes the Initiative to Ask for Reincarnation
Everyone was frowning, and Yun Ransheng's initiative to ask for reincarnation surprised everyone.
Yun Hongxiao looked at this son who was sometimes smart and sometimes confused, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. "Father, I also want to save the people from danger. I have practiced martial arts well. Although I am not as good as you generals, I have been practicing hard in recent years. Besides, marching and fighting do not rely on personal strength, but on the proper command of the generals. I think General Qin is an old general with rich experience. He is the commander-in-chief, and I am just leading the troops to support and cheer. There will be no problem in lending a hand." Yun Ransheng said sincerely, and he also put himself in a very correct position. He just led the troops to boost the morale of the army, and the command depended entirely on the old general. "Father, since the second prince has this intention, give him a chance. As a member of the royal family, you must always keep the country in your heart. It is rare that the second prince has this courage. Last time, his sister-in-law was reluctant to let him miss the opportunity to make achievements. This time, I hope that his sister-in-law will not make trouble." Yun Ranzheng stood up to help intercede. But Yun Ransheng was embarrassed by what he said. "Brother Crown Prince is right. Father, I really want to make achievements. This time I am going to help my father-in-law, and Bi Yue will definitely not do anything bad again." Yun Ransheng said with some shame. "Your Majesty, the second prince's going there can indeed boost the morale of the army to a great extent. As a prince, he can rush to the front in times of national crisis. This sincerity is worth showing." Prime Minister Wu Manjiang also supported it. Yun Ranzheng glanced at his grandfather. The two of them are in cahoots? Yun Ranzheng knows this imperial brother very well. Isn't he just going there to get military merit? If it weren't for General Qin guarding the border in the northeast, how could he dare to go there ? That's his father-in -law. But fighting a war does rely on the commander-in-chief's command. Yun Ranzheng doesn't dare to say that he has talent in marching and fighting. Even if he goes, he has to rely on the commander-in-chief. So it's the same for him to go there as for the second imperial brother. But we must always give the second imperial brother a chance to let him grow up and see what greater great things he can do. Suppressing someone blindly is not necessarily a good thing. Just like Brother Lu, the father's approach is the same. Yun Ranzheng has experienced the fight against the epidemic, and his mind, mind, knowledge, and the height of looking at problems have been greatly improved. Looking at Yun Ransheng now, it's like looking at a disgusting thing, but you have to tolerate it, after all, he is born of the same father. When the other ministers heard that the prince and the prime minister agreed, they also expressed their agreement. The command really depends on General Qin, not the second prince. He only needs to bring the soldiers and provide assistance. The biggest problem at present is money and food. When marching and fighting, reserve military supplies are the top priority. "In this case, I will give the second son this opportunity. Immediately select 100,000 troops and go there quickly. When you go, you must obey the command of Qin Aiqing and don't make random mistakes." Yun Hongxiao still recognized Qin Fei's ability. He has been dealing with the Ice and Snow Country for many years and knows the Ice and Snow Country very well. And he is also the second son's father-in-law. "Yes, I obey your order." Yun Ransheng knelt down again to receive the order. Yun Hongxiao gave him the token to mobilize troops on the spot. He told him to go back to the mansion to prepare and set out within two days. Speed is the key to military operations, and there can be no delay. As soon as Yun Ransheng disappeared from everyone's sight, the study room was once again plunged into discussion. This time, everyone's focus was on the urgent issue of returning troops. The Minister of Finance Qin Pengcheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. Since Loulan is on good terms with our country, maybe we can borrow some military supplies from them?" However, the Minister of War Zeng Yuwei disagreed with this proposal and retorted: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. The princess of Loulan has just arrived in our country, and we are borrowing money from them. This is a bit unreasonable." Borrowed money means that it needs to be repaid in the future. And this debt is undoubtedly a heavy burden for the country. Qin Pengcheng frowned even more when he heard this. He turned to look at Zeng Yuwei and asked: "What do you think?" Zeng Yuwei was speechless. He knew the importance of military supplies, but he also knew that increasing taxes would only make the people complain and their livelihoods suffer. Seeing this, the emperor also understood the thorny nature of the military supply problem. He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Forget it, let's borrow from the merchants first. The Ministry of Revenue will write an IOU and make sure that the merchants believe that the court will repay the money on time." There was a trace of fatigue and helplessness in his voice. Last year's fight against the epidemic caused merchants to bleed, and it is not known whether it will go smoothly this time. Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads silently. They knew that this was the best way at present. Although borrowing is not a long-term solution, it can at least temporarily alleviate the urgent need for military supplies. The next morning, the Feng family gathered in the lobby of the main courtyard, waiting for a young couple to serve tea. The young couple got married last night, and I wonder if Yuanhan knows how to be gentle with women. Song Shuqing was a little worried. She often saw her second son bullying his daughter-in-law. In the past, Chen Huizhu always liked to challenge Feng Yuanhan, and he always beat her up. Every time Song Shuqing saw him, she would scold him, but when she was not in Feng Mansion, she didn't know how many times he bullied her. Feng Yuanhan also often went to Chen Mansion to learn military tactics and how to march and fight from his father-in-law. "Here you are, here you are." Nanny He trotted in with a smile. Sure enough, a few moments later, a newlywed couple walked in. Chen Huizhu changed out of her wedding dress and put on a new red dress. The bride wears red for the first three days of her wedding. "Second sister-in-law." Feng Tianxing was the most active, and she ran forward first to hold the other hand of the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law's hand was really warm. Looking at her face again, it was red all the way to her ears. This is the shyness of the new daughter-in-law. When Song Shuqing saw the shy face of the new daughter-in-law, she knew that the two had a good time last night. Her request was very simple, as long as the family lived happily together and everyone was fine. Follow the steps, serve tea, and give gifts. From then on, Chen Huizhu was a member of the Feng family.
Feng Tianxing automatically put her in his circle of protection.
Feng Zuwen only asked for leave for the morning court, and heard the latest news as soon as he started his duty.
After a while, the emperor sent someone to invite him to the palace.
As soon as he saw Yun Hongxiao, Feng Zuwen asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, why send the second prince to lead the troops?"
Feng Zuwen always remembered the thoughts of the concubines, saying that Yun Ransheng finally ascended the throne, his ambitions were overflowing, and he only wanted to conquer the world.
If such a person was sent to the battlefield, he would definitely fight a lot.
"My dear Feng, do you think it is not appropriate to send him?" Yun Hongxiao asked back.
"It's not that it's not inappropriate, but I think he still needs to learn." Feng Zuwen touched his nose embarrassedly.
"Well, you are right, my dear minister. He needs to learn. My dear minister Qin is a veteran and will not let him act recklessly. I will let him lead an army of 100,000. If he is commanded properly, he should be able to resist the enemy. Defending a city is easier than attacking it. I can only give so many troops."
Yun Hongxiao trusts Qin Fei, not Yun Ransheng, who is leading the troops for the first time.
However, it is indeed a boost to the morale of the army to have the prince go.
It is rare that the second son did not retreat like last time, but took the initiative to stand up.
"I hope so."
"My dear minister Feng, the main problem now is military supplies. Although we borrow from businessmen, what is borrowed is borrowed after all, and we have to pay it back. And it is impossible for businessmen to borrow too much. They only donated once last year to fight the epidemic."
