What the prince never expected was that Emperor Yuanwu followed his question, answered his question directly, and let the next courtier do the work.

"I am more familiar with the Xianbei army or the Yanbei generals, the military department did not come to Yanbei to understand the actual local situation, how to talk about the army on paper and make a plan to use the army? What's more, it is not known whether Xianbei has intruded on Yanbei Pass. I asked Qin Tian to monitor the year, and the next three years should be a year of good weather and rain, and the weather will not be too cold in winter. If Qin Tianjian's calculation is correct, then the Xianbei people must be able to stop for a while. ”

Emperor Yuanwu spoke in detail and said, "However, it's always good to be prepared. I will allocate a sum of military expenses to the Yanbei garrison, and cotton clothes, food, and new weapons will also be transported to Yanbei as much as possible. ”

After Emperor Yuanwu finished speaking, he asked if there were any courtiers to do something.

The prince stood in place, his eyes straight, and he was stunned.

Although Liu Tong didn't know why he looked like he had been hit by a huge blow, when he saw that his face was not good, he knew that he was unlucky, and a sense of relief suddenly surged in his heart.

King Rui thought thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded in a sudden understanding, and then shook his head with a smile.

Liu Tong hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, what did you guess?" ”

King Rui smiled and said softly: "It's not appropriate to say much here, I'll talk to you when I'm free." ”

Liu Tong was naturally busy nodding.

This time the morning came to an uneventful end.

Liu Tong followed King Rui out of the hall and walked on the palace road, and most of the ministers he met on the road would say hello to King Rui. King Rui also responded one by one.

Liu Tong couldn't wait to ask, "Fifth brother, what's wrong with the prince?" ”

King Rui sighed lightly, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no way that anyone was eavesdropping around, so he said: "The prince mentioned Xianbei today, and then talked about the military department, and asked my father how the emperor's military department used troops against Xianbei...... My father specially broke it up and explained it to him word by word today. ”

"Why?" Liu Tong was puzzled.

King Rui said: "Because the prince asked a stupid question. ”

King Rui paused and said, "How long has Xianbei been suffering?" Every year in winter, the imperial court has to start to sweat for Yanbei, for fear that Xianbei will come to disturb again, what if they really cross Yanbei Pass? There is no need to discuss such an issue as Xianbei's use of troops. Great Wei has always been Xianbei and invaded, so he sent back such soldiers. What's more, for Xianbei's use of troops, the front-line strategy of using troops is always a matter for the Yanbei garrison, and the military department has never intervened, so what does it have to do with the military department? ”

Liu Tong suddenly said: "That father ...... emperor"

"Naturally, the Emperor would have guessed his intention in asking this." King Rui said: "Most of my father thought that the prince wanted to join the military department. ”

"My father rejected him." Liu Tong said, thinking about it and feeling strange: "Why? Didn't my father know that the prince was a little difficult to move in the household department? ”

King Rui frowned, knocked on his head, and sighed: "The prince is looking for a new way for himself, and he can't intervene in the other parts, so he can only focus on the military department...... The crown prince only mentioned the military department, and his father probably didn't think about it so much, just thinking that he had taken a fancy to the power and convenience of the military department, so he didn't respond. As for the situation of the four ministries of officials, rites, criminal affairs, and industry, my father should also know a thing or two. Probably, the father is waiting for the prince to find a way to solve it. ”

King Rui said softly: "My father has governed the territory of the Great Wei for nearly 20 years, inheriting the legacy of the ancestors, and also leaving hopes for all generations. It is impossible for the father to hand over the Great Wei Jiangshan to the crown prince. If the crown prince can't even balance the struggle for power between his brothers......"

When King Rui said this, he was in a trance for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's all the prince's consideration, let's not guess." Let's go, let's go to the Fifth Brother's Mansion for lunch today. ”

Liu Tong responded, looked at the back of King Rui, and gently clenched his fist.

During lunch, King Rui suddenly thought of something, and said to Princess Rui: "Xiao Jiu and your sister-in-law's wedding date is coming, and now that the prince's grounding has been lifted, can she go to the prince's mansion to unload?" ”

Chang Mu was stunned, and then said, "If you don't say it, I really haven't remembered it." ”

King Rui reminded: "You still have to have a beginning and an end to do things, if your sister doesn't go to resign, let her go quickly, don't leave anyone to talk about." ”

Chang Muzhi hurriedly responded, and Liu Tong volunteered: "Don't bother the fifth sister-in-law, I'll go and talk to Runzhi!" It just so happens that I'll be fine for the next day. ”

Chang Muzhi suddenly laughed and said: "I passed on the word to my sister-in-law, what kind of trouble?" I don't like to hear what the ninth brother says. ”

Liu Tong knew that this was his fifth sister-in-law making fun of him, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed on his face.

"Okay, let Xiao Jiu go." King Rui smiled: "When he came back from your sister-in-law's Zhuangzi before, he was stunned, I was afraid that it was three autumns a day, and I felt that I hadn't seen your sister for a long time." ”

Chang Muzhi: "The old lady in the house made a special trip to call Runzhi back, saying that she shouldn't have been too close to the ninth brother before marriage. The old lady is more old-fashioned in this regard, and the ninth brother wants to go to the door of the Yue family in the future, I'm afraid it will not be so easy. ”

"Huh?" Liu Tong's expression froze, and seeing that the corners of his mouth that were originally raised were about to droop down, Chang Muzhi smiled and said, "I'm joking with you." If you want to go to the door, how can the old lady be embarrassed to stop you? Even if you and Runzhi want to say a few words, the old lady will most likely agree. It's just that it restricts you and doesn't get too close. ”

Liu Tong didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Chang Muzhi say this, his face involuntarily turned slightly red.

The smile in Chang Muzhi's eyes deepened.

After Liu Tong had lunch, he went to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

In the afternoon, Chang Runzhi was taking a nap according to Xiao Han's instructions, lying a little dizzy, hearing the news of Liu Tong's door, he couldn't react for a while.

"What is he doing here?" Chang Runzhi said: "Didn't the old lady send a message and not let me meet him?" ”

Yao Huang said softly: "The Nine Emperor Princes may have something to do, the wife is talking to him at this moment, and the wife asked the girl to ask the girl, do you want to go ahead to meet the Nine Emperor Princes." ”

Chang Runzhi sat up immediately, and just got off the bed to go to his shoes, he paused for a while, and glanced at Wei Zi, who was snickering on the side, and said, "You girl, are you laughing at your master for not being reserved?" ”

Wei Zi waved his hand again and again: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Chang Runzhi snorted lightly, and his cheeks were slightly covered with a layer of redness.

"Yao Huang, you say...... The old lady knows that I am going to see her, will she preach again? Chang Runzhi asked his confidant softly.

Yao Huang laughed: "What is the girl afraid of, the wife is still there, and she is not alone with the Nine Emperor Princes, and the old lady can't find fault with you." What's more, there is a wife who is on top of it. ”

"That's right." Chang Runzhi got up and freshened up a little, and went to the front of the hospitality. (To be continued.) )
