"Ah? The third prince is also leading the troops?" Zhao Wudi was very surprised.
"Is the Third Prince very good at leading troops?" Lei Zhan looked even more confused.
He had only a superficial understanding of the affairs of the imperial court.
I just feel it's very strange.
Since Li Ye has already been asked to lead the troops, wouldn't it be redundant to send the third prince over?
"Doesn't the emperor trust Your Highness?" Lei Ying frowned.
This is the last thing they want to see.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, it is not scary. What is scary is that the emperor does not trust them or even suppresses them.
After reading it, Zhao Wudi gave it to Lei Ying.
Zhao Wudi said: "Based on my understanding of Your Majesty, Your Majesty should not doubt Your Highness.
Unless there is only one possibility.
That means the emperor knows that His Highness has trained 700,000 laborers into an army.
We also have a large number of weapons at our disposal."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Wudi.
Zhao Wudi was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He quickly said: "I am loyal to Your Highness. As long as Your Highness does not commit any rebellion, I will never let the emperor leak any information.
If you tell even a single lie, you will be struck by lightning and forever be damned."
Li Ye said, "Don't worry! I believe you! If the emperor knew that I was in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, he would definitely not let me come back to the capital this time.
Even if the emperor knew that I would not rebel, he would never take the risk.
Therefore, the Emperor definitely doesn't know! The news hasn't been leaked!"
Zhao Wudi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Since I let you know everything, of course I trust you completely.
If I had any doubts about you, I would never do these things in front of you."
After speaking, he glanced at everyone and said seriously, "I trust all of you without reservation. If anyone betrays me, I will take it upon myself.
Of course, no matter who betrays me, I will retaliate with all my might before I die.
That's just my personality.
As long as I trust someone, I will be unconditional, and I will be ruthless towards my enemies."
"Thank you, Your Highness. We will only be loyal to You in this life." Everyone said loudly together.
Zhao Wudi immediately said: "Although I am loyal to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Highness is the best candidate to inherit the throne.
As long as Your Highness does not betray the Emperor, I will always stand by Your Highness's side.
As long as it doesn't threaten the Emperor, I will keep it a secret for His Highness."
Li Ye patted Zhao Wudi's shoulder and said, "We have been together for so long, don't you understand my thoughts?
As long as the emperor is still alive, I won't bother to inherit the throne.
What's so good about being an emperor? You're exhausted from having to deal with so many things all day long.
We must also shoulder the responsibility of the whole world.
If there was really no other way, and the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were really too disappointing, I wouldn't bother to fight for the throne.
My biggest dream in this life is to enjoy life and live it comfortably.
Alas, ending up in such a miserable state is not what I expected.
There is no one in the world who wishes the Emperor to live longer than I do."
Zhao Wudi smiled bitterly after hearing this: "What I am most worried about is your Highness's personality.
His Highness is a man of extraordinary talent, but he has no interest in power or the throne.
If the Emperor becomes too old and does something foolish, then I hope Your Highness can seize the throne by force."
"Let's talk about it when the time comes! As long as it has no impact on the people of the world, I will not seize the throne until the last step." Li Ye said.
"Of course I believe Your Highness!" Zhao Wudi said seriously.
Li Ye touched his chin and said while thinking: "The Third Prince is coming to the border to cause trouble.
Especially since he was too close to Shi Wushuang, and Shi Wushuang had close contacts with the enemy country.
Some things must be prevented early."
Princess Ruyue's face was filled with shock. "Are you saying that the Third Prince might be colluding with the barbarians?"
"I'm not thinking the worst, it's not impossible!
Before this, Wushuang provided weapons to the barbarians, and he had the support of the crown prince and the third prince.
This time, Shi Wushuang is likely to come to the border to help the third prince.
Even if the Third Prince did not collude to satisfy his idea, Shi Wushuang would definitely find ways to persuade him.
The key is that their main opponent now is me.
As long as they can get rid of me, what means can't I use?" Li Ye said with a sneer.
"Whether His Highness is right or not, we must be prepared!"
Thunder Eagle reacted very nervously.
Li Ye is their pillar of support. If anything happens to Li Ye, they will be completely finished.
"Your Highness is right. The fight for the throne is extremely cruel, and we must prepare for the worst-case scenario." Zhao Wudi also highly praised it.
"Then I will stay by your side from now on and protect your safety! I will never allow anyone to hurt you." Princess Ruyue said seriously.
"I'm just reminding you, there's no need to act like a big enemy.
Besides, I'm not going out, so even if they have more tricks, they can't use them." Li Ye said with a smile.
"Your Highness is right! Our grain and fodder no longer go through the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.
Self-sufficiency will be achieved soon.
Even if they have the means, they can’t hurt us.”
Zhao Wudi said.
"I think we should make some preparations in advance to prevent the Third Prince from discovering our military training." Lei Ying said.
Li Ye interrupted and said, "This is a good suggestion. You guys should discuss it. We need to be more covert in training the army in the future.
Hide it as long as possible.
The power that the enemy does not know is the most deadly.
Of course, as long as we are strong enough, even if others have too many schemes and tricks, it will be useless."
After Li Ye analyzed the situation of the Third Prince coming to the border, he felt that there was not much threat.
Bring people forward to inspect the situation.
The clothing business is doing very well and we will definitely ship a lot this winter.
I'm afraid that doing it too fast will affect the quality.
The first thing Li Ye inspected was the clothing production workshop.
…
On the side of the Third Prince, Shi Wushuang quickly caught up.
The third prince was very excited when he heard that Shi Wushuang had arrived.
In order to show his respect, he even rode a horse to meet them personally.
"Wushuang greets His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
As soon as they met, Shi Wushuang and Qin Qingxue took the initiative to dismount and salute.
The Third Prince smiled from ear to ear and quickly said, "We are all family. There is no need to be polite outside."
Then he turned around and ordered his men: "Master Wushuang is my honored guest. From now on, his orders are my orders, and you must obey them."
"Yes!" The generals under his command agreed in unison.
Although Shi Wushuang's reputation has been greatly affected recently.
But he still represents Yunlu Pavilion.
Most people were still extremely respectful towards him.
Even though the Third Prince attached great importance to him, no one was jealous.
They even hoped that Shi Wushuang could help, since he wouldn't take away their credit after winning the battle.
