Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Scramble

In the past few days, there has been a lot of turmoil, and not long after the matter of the Xie family, news suddenly came from the other side of the frontier, saying that several small affiliated countries were about to move and planned to join forces to regain the territory they had lost.

And the guards on the frontier disappeared and despised the generals of the small dependent countries, so they were overwhelmed by a sneak attack, and their situation can be described as a big defeat.

Originally, such a thing happened, and the generals stationed on the frontier immediately reported the matter, and the imperial court immediately sent people over to suppress the small dependent countries, and there would not be much movement.

It's just that the general stationed on the frontier was a quick-tempered and extremely strong, and used his power to suppress this matter, and organized a part of the soldiers to fight for the land that was invited back, so as to atone for the crime.

It's just that what he never expected was that the generals of today's small affiliated countries are all extremely intelligent young people, and the routines are deeper than the other, and the general suffered a hardship, and none of the more than 300 soldiers he brought returned.

Until this moment, there was no way to cover up this matter, so he sent 100,000 people to report this matter to Jinling in a hurry.

When the emperor learned of this, he was very angry, he didn't expect that today's officials would be so bold that they would dare to make a decision in private! Even disregarding the safety of the Great Song Dynasty!

But the things that made the emperor a little distressed, looking at the court, there are not many generals who can be sent to use it now, and many generals are now performing their duties, and no one can leave, and no one can go away.

And those old generals have retired early, and they are hiding at home one by one to enjoy their old age, where can they still use the big knife?

Because of this incident, the crown prince was also released from the East Palace early, he had already heard about this matter in the East Palace, and seeing that the emperor was so troubled at this moment, he couldn't help but step forward and propose: "Father! Erchen has a suitable candidate to recommend, but I don't know if King Ding will be unhappy? ”

"Huh? You recommended the right person to me in order to stabilize the country of the Great Song Dynasty, why would King Ding be unwilling? The emperor glanced at the prince a little strangely, and he couldn't help but have something in his heart, because he knew that he had a lot of eyes in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of moth he was going to produce at this moment......

When King Ding on the side heard this, he had actually guessed in his heart**, if the prince could say this, he must want to recommend Chang Jiyang to the emperor. To tell the truth, I have accumulated a lot of contacts in this court for so many years, and there are many people who are willing to paint their hearts and brains, but ......

The people who have heavy troops in this court are originally a minority, and the king has never had the opportunity to get acquainted with generals with heavy troops, Chang Jiyang is a special case, because he has never had any power, and he has climbed to a general with a military camp.

Therefore, letting Chang Jiyang go out to suppress the border is definitely very unfavorable news for King Ding.

Even if his heart was not far away, he would not say anything inconsiderate at this time, but asked the prince with some doubts: "I don't understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means by this, but if there are generals who can serve the Great Song Dynasty, I am naturally very happy, why don't you want to?" It's not good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wronged me like this......"

"Actually, it's not an unusual character, it's Chang Jiyang, who was given the title of general by his father, this person is young and promising, and he knows people, and he wants to deal with those chaotic ministers and thieves, which is very suitable." When the prince said this, he paused, and subconsciously looked at the emperor's expression, but he found that the emperor was not moved at all, obviously Chang Jiyang's candidate was not in line with his mind at all.

King Ding naturally paid attention to the emperor's expression at all times, and immediately rushed to say: "I don't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would recommend Chang Jiyang?" He is indeed very young, but what is the situation on the other side of the frontier, none of us knows, rashly recommend Chang Jiyang to go, in case something uncontrollable happens, what should we do? Moreover, I don't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that I was unwilling just now, there is no special relationship between Chang Jiyang and me. ”

"What is not a special dealing? You are so close to the Chang family, who is in this Jinling City and I don't know who I don't know! What's more, it's not a shameful thing, so why are you in such a hurry to deny it? Could it be that my father will blame you for this incident? ”

The crown prince looked at King Ding viciously, and refused to give in at all, King Ding snorted coldly when he saw this, and couldn't help but speak to the emperor sideways: "Father! Erchen thinks that His Royal Highness King Su is a very good candidate, His Royal Highness King Su is not only young and promising, but he is also very experienced in war! He doesn't know how many wars he has experienced in the years outside, although he is young, he has already experienced a hundred battles, which those old generals can't compare! His Royal Highness King Su must be the best candidate this time! ”

Hearing that King Ding recommended King Su, where was the prince willing, he immediately retorted: "Your Royal Highness King Ding, can't you talk nonsense with your eyes open?" How important is the safety near Jinling City, it has always been solved by His Royal Highness King Su! Besides, the current King Su has been seriously injured and has no way to walk upright, so he is naturally not as good as Chang Jiyang for marching and fighting! This candidate must be Chang Jiyang, how can it be His Royal Highness King Su? Dingwang, don't make such jokes! ”

"Who is joking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should know very well in his heart, this clear-eyed person knows that His Royal Highness King Su is definitely more suitable than Chang Jiyang for this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that His Royal Highness King Su is now seriously injured and cannot walk upright, but I can see that His Royal Highness King Su not only walks normally, but has been going to the military camp to train! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking nonsense, but he is really better than anyone else! King Ding retorted without showing weakness, and a pair of murderous eyes stared at the prince tightly, and the prince stared at King Ding as well.

"You say these things, it's not all because His Royal Highness King Su and I are getting closer, so you want to support King Su......"

This time, the crown prince's words could not be continued again, because the emperor couldn't help but frown and interrupted him: "I called you here, not to say these meaningless words, nor to hear you recommend some people to me casually, it's time for this!" You don't have to fight anymore, and quickly find a way to find a suitable candidate for me! ”
