Chapter 237: Suspicion

General Jin's words stood on the commanding heights, and it was a matter of great Wei prestige, and Emperor Yuan Wu was not able to reply immediately for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For Emperor Yuanwu, the war was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Emperor Yuanwu was very old, and he longed to see a peaceful and prosperous era, so he naturally did not want to see the destruction of life in his old age.

He wanted to leave a good name in history.

Seeking stability is his first choice in dealing with all things.

In matters within the Great Wei, he could use some vigorous and resolute means to quickly resolve contradictions and disputes. For example, in dealing with the affairs of Langxi, he taught the prince a lesson, and dealt with the aftermath quickly, but did not make the matter more impactful.

But in external matters, things that are beyond his control, he doesn't want to face.

Just like this time, Xianbei raised troops.

At the beginning, the reinforcements marched towards Yanbei Pass, and he did have the idea of hoping that the Xianbei people would retreat after seeing the strength of the Great Wei army.

But he didn't expect that a moment of hesitation would lead to the current situation.

The two armies officially began fighting.

Although it was the Great Wei side that had the advantage, Emperor Yuanwu still couldn't stop worrying.

What if the war gets out of control?

What if an advantage becomes a disadvantage?

As for the battle in Yanbei Pass, Emperor Yuanwu, who was in the capital of Great Wei, even if he knew the details of the development of the war, he had no way to immediately formulate a strategy to deal with it.

Emperor Yuanwu didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that he couldn't reach the Yanbei Pass war.

Things are getting a little out of hand.

Emperor Yuanwu sat on the throne, holding his head on one side, and let the courtiers under the rank quarrel endlessly.

The pearl tassel hanging from the crown obscured his vision, and Emperor Yuan Wu looked at the people below without saying a word.

The argument is red-faced, the one who stands on the neutral side is calm, and the one who looks anxious...... There were a lot of courtiers, but it seemed that he had seen all the things in the world.

Emperor Yuanwu thought that he was also a wise and martial generation of virtuous emperors, but he was a little at a loss at this moment.

He recruited talents and gathered all the talented people of the Great Wei Dynasty in this Hanyuan Palace, but in the end he found that these courtiers who he thought were indispensable to the Great Wei Dynasty were just some ordinary people who were concerned about their own interests......

Emperor Yuanwu sighed softly.

The person on his side thought that he was going to say something, but when he heard the words, he bowed lightly and waited for his orders.

Emperor Yuan Wu waved his hand, his eyes flashed, and he saw the Nine Emperor Princes who had not participated in the discussion from beginning to end, and his eyes had been lowered.

Emperor Yuanwu frowned slightly, holding the hand of the temple man and slowly sat up straight.

Seeing that the one on the throne had reacted, all the ministers immediately became solemn and stood up to him respectfully.

Emperor Yuanwu coughed and said, "Nine Emperor Princes, tell me that King Rui was seriously injured in the attack, so that the Yanbei garrison started a war against Xianbei, is there really a hidden reason in this?" ”

Liu Tong paused before standing up, and in the silent hall, he responded in a steady tone: "Back to my father's words, although the sons and daughters have been friends with King Rui since childhood, they have never been in contact with the march and war. Whether there is a secret in this matter, Erchen does not dare to talk nonsense. ”

Emperor Yuanwu was not very satisfied with Liu Tong's answer, and asked: "Since you are friendly with him, according to what you have seen, with the nature of King Rui, will you fabricate about your own injury, so as to cause the two armies to fight?" ”

Liu Tong's heart froze, and he fixed his mind and said: "Back to my father, with the wisdom of King Rui, it is not surprising that he made this plan." ”

Emperor Yuanwu nodded thoughtfully, and was about to speak, when he heard Liu Tong say: "However, the sons privately think that even if this matter is made up by King Rui, it can be said like this externally, but internally, King Rui will not hide from his father." ”

The implication is that King Rui's injury is fake, and he will definitely state it in the palace newspaper that he will not deceive Emperor Yuanwu. And since there is no such report in the Di newspaper, it is a fact that the king of Narui was seriously injured in the attack.

Emperor Yuanwu's mood was a little complicated, and the prince couldn't stand.

According to the Nine Emperor Princes, this is true. King Kerui is only a prison army, for the sake of a prison army, pour all the strength of Yanbei Pass to meet the Xianbei cavalry......" The prince said coldly: "I'm afraid, the entire Yanbei Pass has been loyal to King Rui, right?" ”

Emperor Yuanwu frowned, Liu Tong squinted slightly, slowly stood up straight, and looked directly at the crown prince.

"The order of King Rui to lead the army to Yanbei Pass is pointed out by the prince and determined by his father. When King Rui arrived at Yanbei Pass, he was carrying the order of the Son of Heaven, which was equivalent to Qincha, and seeing it was like seeing his father. The people ordered by the emperor were coerced by the lives of the Xianbei people, and the Yanbei army used this as a reason to ride out of Yanbei Pass to meet the Xianbei barbarians, shouldn't it? Or does the prince think that even if King Rui dies of his injuries and dies in Yanbei Pass, it doesn't matter? ”

"You!"

"There is also what the prince said, Yanbeiguan is loyal to King Rui's words, and the younger brother of the minister cannot agree." Liu Tong knelt down in his robe, and said to Emperor Wu of Yuan: "King Rui went to Yanbei Pass on the orders of his father, what the Yanbei Army values is the trust of the Great Wei Imperial Court in them, they are loyal to their father, what does King Rui have to do?" ”

The prince's face was pale, and he pointed at Liu Tong and gritted his teeth.

King Qi and King Li looked at each other and smiled.

Emperor Yuanwu sighed slightly, waved his hand and said: "That's it, the general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, the war in Yanbei has started, just wait for this battle to be fought first." If it wins, then talk about the truce. ”

Emperor Yuanwu felt tired and glanced at the temple people, who cleverly shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

"Long live my emperor."

Emperor Yuanwu went to the apse, and the ministers rushed out, and the prince walked up to Liu Tong in a few steps and grabbed his collar with one hand.

The prince was impatient.

Liu Tong was expressionless: "Prince, this is in the palace, do you want to let the imperial history participate in you and kill the name of your compatriots?" ”

The prince endured great anger and finally threw Liu Tong away.

But even so, Liu Tong still left a circle of red strangulation marks on his neck.

"Ninth brother, are you challenging me?" The prince asked Liu Tong coldly.

Liu Tongwan'er shook his head and said: "The prince is too worried, the prince didn't see it, am I helping you?" ”

"Help me? Scold. The prince's eyes were gloomy: "Are you confused with me?" You're the fifth one, help me? ”

Liu Tong bowed: "At least in this matter, the younger brother is helping the prince." ”

Liu Tong covered his neck and coughed, and then continued: "The prince is just afraid that King Rui will not be under your control in Yanbei Pass, but King Rui is seriously injured in an attack, what threat does he have to the prince?" On the contrary, it is the crown prince, who can't hold his breath, I'm afraid...... It's going to let King Qi and King Li take advantage of the loophole. This capital is not an iron bucket for the prince, and there are many potential threats. ”

Liu Tong bowed down and said: "That's all the words of the minister, the prince should think about it." ”

Liu Tong turned around and said goodbye, and waited until he left the palace and entered the mansion before he unloaded his still defensive heart.

Chang Runzhi asked him what had happened, and he told her what he had said to the prince.

Chang Runzhi frowned and asked, "Will the prince believe your words?" ”

"No, it won't." Liu Tong shook his head dryly, poured a whole cup of tea, and said, "However, he will waver, he will waver." Once he swings, his decision-making will be affected. ”

Liu Tong chuckled: "After all, he is suspicious." The fifth brother said that this is his biggest weakness. (To be continued.) )
