The situation in the court is always unpredictable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe mother family of the prince and the king of Duan are both important families in the Great Zhou, so the court also vaguely shows the situation of confrontation.

Xiang Ye is a neutral faction, he has not been partial or suppressed any prince for so many years, or he is only loyal to the saint, as long as these princes are sincerely working for the saint, then Xiang Ye will also assist them wholeheartedly.

The court has gone through ups and downs several times, but Xiangye can still stand, and the relationship with other officials is not close or far, and the relationship with several princes is not bad, so if it comes to being an official, Xiangye is definitely a model of a Great Zhou official. Just because he doesn't stand in line, a few princes can't do anything about him, which is really admirable.

And today's court, because of the war in the northwest, the two factions argued with each other.

The crown prince, who has not been in the court for a while, also came over today, presumably because he heard the news that Mu Zhao was going to be crowned king. Seeing that his face was blue and his eyes were black, it seemed that he was really sick, and the saint asked a few words compassionately.

When the two factions in the court were fighting each other, the emperor set his eyes on several princes.

The prince and the courtiers are different, they all stand together, wearing their own court clothes, among which the prince, the king of Chu, the king of Duan, the king of Rui, and the king of Ning are already young talents, and Mu Zhao only started to go to court a few years, so his stature is shorter than that of several other princes.

The emperor is over fifty years old, and in recent years, he has been worried about state affairs, and his temples have turned white, but it can still be seen from his face that he should have been a handsome man in his early years.

"A few emperors, what do you say, how should this war in the northwest be handled?"

Hearing the emperor's question, the prince is the eldest, and he must stand up first.

Taking a step forward, although the prince's voice was weak, it was very firm: "Back to my father's words, the sons and daughters think that the northwest barbarians cannot be tolerated, and they will be beaten back hundreds of miles beyond the border, and see if they dare to be arrogant!"

"Ahem...... It's all because Erchen's recent wind and cold have been too severe, otherwise Erchen would definitely lead his troops to take command and teach those barbarians a good lesson! cough cough ......"

The emperor saw that he was coughing really badly, but sighed and waved his hand: "That's it, if you have this heart, it's enough." ”

Then he looked at the others: "What about the other princes?

The faction of the king of Chu and the crown prince naturally had the same idea as him, as for King Ning and King Duan, they both have military power in their hands, such generals can only fight and not surrender, and recently they have been arguing in the court because of this stupid question, and they are also angry in their hearts.

And King Rui and King Ning are always on the same line, and they will not agree to make peace.

So only Mu Zhao stood up alone: "Back to my father's words, my son thinks that he should send someone to negotiate peace." ”

The emperor's face did not change, but narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?

King Ning and King Rui weren't looking at each other this time, but the corners of King Rui's mouth had already hooked up a smile.

Mu Zhao was still talking: "The barbarians in the northwest are not enough to worry about, in previous years, as soon as the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty arrived at the border, they fled when they heard the news, and presumably this year will not be an exception! Since they are so afraid of the Great Zhou, let's send a few envoys to deter them, not afraid that they will not surrender!"

In fact, at the beginning of the war in the northwest, the emperor had already sent envoys, and at this time it was almost time to come with news. And among the envoys, there are also officials who have some relationship with Mu Zhao's mother's family.

As soon as Mu Zhao's words were finished, a guard rushed directly to the main hall, knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Your Majesty! The envoys we sent were actually beheaded in public by those barbarians!"

"What!" The emperor stood up suddenly, slapped his hand on the chair, and made a heavy sound, and the people in the hall were obviously stunned, and many generals scolded directly.

The emperor was so angry that the muscles on his face were trembling. "These barbarians are so bold! I really think that Da Zhou will not dare to touch them, right?"

As soon as the emperor's words were finished, King Duan stood up, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to the battle, and return me to the Great Zhou Qingming Dynasty!"

When King Ning first started the war, he had anger in his heart, not because of the open and secret fighting between the court and the emperor, but because he was worried about the people on the border. He joined the army in his early years, knowing that the people there lived a very hard life, and now it is about to celebrate the New Year, but there is a war.

It is rumored that he is cold, but he can't see his homeland being so ravaged and his people being bullied like this.

So he also stepped forward and knelt in front of King Duan, although he knew that it was impossible for the emperor to send him troops, but he still had to fight for it.

"Father, the sons and daughters are also willing to do their part, and they will definitely expel those barbarians for three hundred miles, and they will not be returned if they are not broken!"

Compared with these two princes, the King of Chu and the King of Rui also took two steps forward, although they are civil officials, but at this juncture, they cannot relax at all. If they can't go to the battlefield, they can also make logistical arrangements to ensure that the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing on the front line.

Even the "seriously ill" prince came forward and expressed to the emperor that even if he is sick now, he is still willing to go to the battlefield, even if he fights to the last breath, he will expel these barbarians!

Mu Zhao was completely dumbfounded. What's going on? It's completely different from what I imagined!

As early as a few days ago, he heard from his mother that the emperor had the idea of making him the prince, but because he had a relationship with Yuan Jinyu, the little concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago, the time was postponed.

But today he has learned that the emperor is going to issue a decree in the Jinluan Palace and crown himself as the prince!

That's why he just stepped forward and said something like that. But now not only is he not appreciated because of those words, but also because he has just finished speaking, and the war is tight! For so many years, what small country dared to behead the envoys of the Great Zhou, but this northwestern barbarian did it! And he had to say those words himself!

Mu Zhao's brain is almost unable to turn now, he doesn't know what is going on, but the cold sweat keeps falling, and his body is cold as if he is going to die.

In the main hall, there are constantly military generals coming forward, enthusiastically saying that they want to go to the battlefield.

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "I already know the hearts of all Aiqing and the prince, and I will not let your intentions go to waste! The barbarians in the northwest occupy my border and deceive my people, and they must not be tolerated! King Duan, King Ning, come forward to listen to the order!"

King Duan took a step forward when he heard the emperor's words, and King Ning looked at the emperor's mouth and found that he had also named his name, and he was a little surprised, but he was still a little excited to step forward.

"King Duan, I have named you the general of Zhenxi, leading 200,000 soldiers and horses, and is bound to recapture the land and protect the people!" The emperor's sonorous and powerful voice sounded in the Jinluan Palace.

King Duan knelt down and received the order: "The son must live up to his father's trust!"

"King Ning takes the order!" The emperor looked at King Ning again, King Ning knelt down, and he continued: "I have appointed you as a deputy general, assist your imperial brother, and defeat the enemy army!"

"Erchen commands!" The corners of King Ning's mouth unexpectedly brought a smile to the ground, and King Rui stood behind, and his heart was also extremely happy.

The crown prince is relieved, although he does not go on the expedition this time, the emperor may have a grudge against himself, but it is better than going out on his own expedition and earning credit, keeping him awake at night, and then abolishing himself as the prince.

These schemes were originally made by the king of Chu for the crown prince, so the prince did not go on the expedition, which was within his expectations, but he really didn't expect that the emperor would send King Ning as a deputy general.

If he wins this time, it must be a great credit, and now the military power in the hands of King Ning has already made King Duan and the prince jealous, if he returns victoriously, then it will be repaid?

The king of Chu was a little helpless, but at this time, he could no longer stop it.

When the dynasty was about to disperse, the emperor glanced thoughtfully at Mu Zhao, who was still frozen in place, and his voice was unusually cold: "King Duan, King Ning, the two of you will order troops in the school tomorrow, and within three days, go to the front line!" As for Mu Zhao, you should study in the academy for a few more years, as a courtier, you are really too unqualified." ”

King Duan and King Ning became the winners this time, while Mu Zhao lost miserably in a daze.

The emperor's meaning couldn't be clearer, this time he was crowned king, he didn't think about it, if he didn't behave well in the past two years, he might be an idle prince in the future.

How could Mu Zhao be willing! As soon as he got to the court, he went straight to his mother's concubine.

Shen Guifei was well-informed, and when the early dynasty dispersed, she already knew the news, and she couldn't stop being angry in her heart.

Since Mu Zhao, she has been angry and said to Mu Zhao: "What the hell is going on! Who told you to say that!"

Mu Zhao felt a little aggrieved in his heart: "What did you call it, isn't it the mother concubine that you found a few staff members for your sons?" They have always insisted from the very beginning, whether they want to fight or not, and the father and emperor also sent people recommended by their sons before, and the sons naturally thought that he was towards their sons! Mother, what should I do now?"

Shen Guifei had just sent out all the people in the palace, and at this time, in the beautifully carved palace, there were still precious spices, and Shen Guifei was dressed in brocade clothes, and her whole body was an irrepressible momentum.

"In the past, the emperor was still a little wavering, but the mind of thinking about the necessary war did not take a day or two to get up, but we didn't notice the changes in the emperor, and we really guessed wrong. Also, Zhao'er, your staff members should also have problems. Shen Guifei said her thoughts: "I can guess that the emperor wants to send troops to the court, how could those people not know and even persuade you to make peace?"

A hint of gloom appeared on Mu Zhao's good-looking face: "Mother, you mean, my staff members are already disloyal to me, so should I ......" Speaking of this, Mu Zhao just made a decapitation action.

A cold light also appeared in Shen Guifei's eyes: "It's clean." ”
