The prince was overjoyed upon hearing this and asked excitedly, "Teacher, are you serious?"
"Don't worry, I can't be wrong. I have always followed the emperor and I know his character very well.
Not to mention the current emperor, even in previous dynasties, if any prince was too powerful, the emperor would find ways to suppress him.
Not to mention that the emperor is now in his prime and the power in his hands is extremely stable.
We will never let the situation get out of control.
And he wants to suppress the Sixth Prince's influence. The Emperor's favorites are the Crown Prince and the Third Prince."
"What the teacher said makes sense. It seems I still need more experience.
When encountering a problem at a critical moment, I was too impatient."
The prince's teacher looked at him with satisfaction: "It is not easy for the prince to realize this.
As long as we can learn from our experiences and lessons, we can continue to make progress.”
While they were chatting, the prince's men brought news.
When the prince opened the note, a smile instantly spread across his face.
"Teacher is really smart, he really came right!"
The prince's teacher was stunned: "Could it be that the emperor really issued an order?"
"That's right, teacher, take a look! Father has just issued an imperial decree to demarcate all the land around Li Ye's residence.
The court sent officials to take up the posts, and they only accepted the imperial decree.
This means that Li Ye's sphere of influence is under control.
At best, he can only feed these people."
While listening, the prince's teacher carefully read the information on the paper.
Then tear it into pieces, put it in a teacup and soak it in water.
Completely destroy this news.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince can now rest assured! Once the Emperor becomes wary, his suspicions will gradually intensify.
Especially since the Sixth Prince was far away from the border, he could not express many things directly to the Emperor.
The Crown Prince can use this as an attack target and let the Third Prince's people publicize the threat of the Sixth Prince.
Over time, the Emperor will lose patience with him."
The prince clapped his hands happily and said with a smile, "This is a very good idea. Send someone to do it immediately.
As long as Father believes that Li Ye is plotting a rebellion, he will never be able to turn the tables."
The Prince's teacher continued to persuade: "Although this is good news, we cannot be proud and complacent because of it.
Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most powerful person in the capital.
Both the Sixth Prince and the Third Prince have already left the capital, and no one is a threat to you.
Your Highness should take this opportunity to win over all the officials and make them support Your Highness.
As long as he has the support of most officials in the imperial court, the throne will definitely belong to the prince in the future."
"That's right!" The prince instructed the official in front of him, "Have you listened to what my teacher said? Do your best to win over all the officials in the capital.
Whether you support Li Ye or the Third Prince, all of you should come to our side."
Such a big news quickly spread to the border.
Li Ye had a wry smile on his face when he received the message.
It seems that such a big incident cannot be covered up and the emperor is already wary of it.
Princess Ruyue couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He immediately complained: "Your Majesty, this is really ridiculous. We are all doing things that are beneficial to Dayuan.
The Jews began to suppress us."
Zhao Wudi's expression was extremely complicated.
The power they control is indeed strong enough, especially the border areas can be self-sufficient, and the emperor has no way to control them.
It would be fine if it was any other ambitious prince, but Li Ye was completely thinking about Dayuan.
Doing your best to serve Dayuan is also to be able to inherit the throne legitimately in the future.
I have never thought about rebelling.
But from the emperor's perspective, he really does not allow anyone to threaten his throne.
This situation is inherently contradictory.
Even Zhao Wudi didn't know that his ideas were actually changing.
He used to be extremely loyal to Li Xuantian. Firstly, it was because of his principles as a subject, and secondly, it was because of his admiration for Li Xuantian.
But since following Li Ye, he discovered more and more shortcomings of Li Xuantian.
Even as an emperor, he cannot escape the shortcomings of ordinary people.
Compared with Li Ye, if Li Ye were the emperor, he would definitely do a better job than him.
The more Zhao Wudi had these thoughts, the more he began to lean towards Li Ye.
Lei Zhan was extremely angry: "Your Majesty, this is too unfair. There are other troops stationed at the border.
But they asked us to protect the surrounding prefectures and counties. Are the other garrisons just for show? "
Lei Ying also frowned: "Then what should we do next?
These newly sent officials are here to limit the expansion of our power.
He will definitely find ways to cause trouble.
I'm afraid our population and army won't be able to increase any further."
Li Ye didn't feel very angry.
How to continue to develop and occupy the entire northern part of Dayuan.
Once your strength has expanded and become strong enough, you can lead your troops to directly occupy the entire grassland.
The territory under his control is almost as large as the entire Dayuan.
I'm afraid that since ancient times, no emperor has dared to allow this to happen.
Li Ye smiled and said, "We already have more than enough population and military strength.
We should welcome the officials sent here.
If they have any needs or difficulties, we will try our best to help them.
This is all for the sake of Dayuan's stability, so don't think too much.
With our current strength, we are more than capable of dealing with the enemy."
After Li Ye finished his persuasion, he thought for a while and said, "If we want to carve out a new piece of land, we must keep it secret and never let outsiders out.
We must be more careful when training our troops in the future.
In fact, what I am most worried about is that the people sent by the court are all spies of my father.
Once the power we hold is investigated, I'm afraid Father will lose sleep even more."
"That's no problem, the scope of our control is still very large.
At worst, we can just surround it with a city wall."
Lei Ying said without hesitation.
Zhao Wudi also thought of this: "I suggest that the cavalry go to the grassland for training.
We must adapt to long-term combat on the grasslands.
There's no fixed training location on the grassland, so even if someone wanted to investigate, it would be difficult to find out."
"Okay, I'll arrange this for the three of you."
Next, the border became completely polarized.
It has attracted a large number of tourists.
The inns in the village are almost full.
Business is getting better and better.
All the fruits grown are sold, and beef and mutton are also consumed in large quantities.
You know, Dayuan cattle are very precious production materials.
Slaughtering is strictly prohibited except for those that are sick or dead.
But at the border, these are the injured or too old cattle that have been eliminated.
They were all bought from the barbarians.
There's no shortage of beef here.
Tourists who come here will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
We specially select beef and horse meat to eat, which is so satisfying.
After visiting the village, we went to pick fruits and then went horseback riding to the grassland.
I feel safe under the protection of the soldiers.
