As Dongfang expected, Emperor Qianwen really left her in the imperial study. Emperor Qianwen's personality and thoughts, how can she, as a prince, not understand, at this moment, no matter which prince comes to the imperial study, he will be left behind. In his previous life, he had no intention of being a throne, nor did he have the intention of being a powerful prince, he just wanted to live his life leisurely. But now they are to act according to the calculation of the character of all men, even those closest to them.

Dongfang Du sighed secretly, and arched his hand and said, "Yes, Father." "Retreat to the side and quietly listen to a few ministers discussing the war in the Western Xuan Kingdom.

"Where?" Emperor Qianwen glanced at the three of them and asked coldly.

"Back to the emperor, it's time to talk about conscription." The military department Shangshu replied tremblingly in a cold sweat. This conscription was proposed more than ten days ago, and the plan was to recruit 100,000 new soldiers, but now, less than half of them have been recruited.

"In more than ten days, only more than 30,000 recruits have been recruited, and my Dongqian Kingdom, more than 80 million people, how can I not even recruit these 100,000 soldiers?" Emperor Qianwen looked at the military department Shangshu coldly, "It's really a waste, what's the use of raising you, it's better to drag it out and cut it directly." ”

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......" The military department and the household department knelt down together and lay on the ground. Your Majesty, now at the end of the year, it is indeed difficult to recruit soldiers, this battlefield, it is nine deaths, and the people just want to stay at home for a good year. What's more, two days ago, Xixuanguo suddenly sent troops to attack our Dongqian Kingdom, and also occupied Jizhou City, but I was afraid that the people would panic, and no one dared to apply for the next draft. The military department explained.

"Give you half a month, no matter how panicked you are, you will recruit 100,000 new soldiers for me, if you can't recruit another 100,000 soldiers, don't blame me for not remembering Aiqing's past achievements." Emperor Qianwen waved his hand with a cold face, "Stand down." "The military department and the household department were like being amnestied, and hurriedly retreated.

After the two Shangshu of the military department and the household department withdrew from the imperial study, there were still hussar generals left. Dongfang Du quietly looked at Zhang Shaocheng, the hussar general, and saw that he was standing in the hall without being humble or arrogant, and he had not spoken, and he was very curious.

"Zhang Aiqing, what do you think of the loss of Jizhou City?" Only then did he get off the morning court, and he received an urgent report from the border pass for 800 miles. When I opened it, I found that the border city of Jizhou had been lost. This good thing does not go out and the bad thing spreads thousands of miles, and the war is chaotic together, I am afraid that within five days, the people of the entire Dongqian Kingdom will know about it.

"Back to the emperor, my western defense army has a total of 220,000, guarding the western defense line of the two states of Jijiao, there are six cities in Jizhou, and now the border city of Jizhou is lost, and there are still five cities, just one city, the last general is willing to lead the troops and recapture the border city." General Zhang knelt down on one knee and said with his fists clenched.

Dongfang Du, who was standing on the side, heard it, and then realized that it was just the border city of Jizhou that was lost, and after listening to what Banlan said, he thought that the entire Jizhou was lost, and he thought about how Xixuanguo was so powerful, and he could capture the entire Jizhou in one day.

"It's not enough to recapture the border city." Looking at Zhang Shaocheng who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Qianwen said with a chuckle.

This is obviously lost a city, Emperor Qianwen can still laugh, Dongfang Du doesn't understand her father a little. Listening to the meaning of Emperor Qianwen's words, he not only wanted to recapture the city, but also wanted to counterattack the Western Xuan Kingdom. I suddenly thought of the conscription, which had started more than ten days ago, indicating that Emperor Qianwen had already planned to attack other countries at that time. Even if there was no plan to attack other countries, they had long expected that other countries would attack Dongqian.

Dongfang Du secretly glanced at Emperor Qianwen sitting on the dragon chair with his peripheral vision, and wondered in his heart: "Why are you different from the father emperor in the previous life who only defended the territory and did not open the frontier?" ’

"The last will understand."

"Get up." Emperor Qianwen smiled meaningfully, and turned his head to look at Dongfang Du who was standing aside, "Du'er, are you willing to go to the border with General Zhang?" ”

Dongfang Du found an excuse to come to the imperial study at this time, originally wanting to take the opportunity to invite himself to go with the army, but he didn't think about it, and before she could speak, Emperor Qianwen spoke first.

"Erchen is willing to follow General Zhang to the border pass, contribute to the country, and relieve his father's worries." Only when you go out with the army can you have the opportunity to get military power and cultivate power in the army, and those newly recruited soldiers are the best training targets.

"Okay, well, then follow General Zhang and be a deputy general." Emperor Qianwen turned his head to Zhang Shaocheng and continued: "Zhang Aiqing, Du'er will follow you to learn how to arrange troops and deploy troops, teach him well, don't treat him as a prince, he should be strict, if he violates the rules of the army, he will be punished, and there is no need to show mercy." ”

"The last general commands."

"The son will live up to his father's expectations." Dongfang Du was shocked in his heart, he didn't know that Emperor Qianwen would suddenly cultivate her like this.

"Zhang Aiqing, five days later, take the 40,000 mobile troops in the mobile battalion on the outskirts of the city and go to Jizhou, one qiē, and act according to the plan. Go back and prepare. Emperor Qianwen also sent Zhang Shaocheng away, leaving only Dongfang Du alone.

'Acting on a plan? Dongfang Du was shocked, he really had a plan, otherwise Emperor Qianwen would not be so calm at this moment. Suddenly thought of the reaction of the Hubu Shangshu and the Bingbu Shangshu when they were there, "Could it be that the father is making a show for the two Shangshu lords?" ”

I thought that with the extra memory, I could calculate others and plan the overall situation, but I didn't think about it, and I still didn't know what kind of person my father was. But once you set foot on this road, with the idea of seizing the throne, there is no way to stop.

When only Dongfang Runhao and Dongfang Du father and son were left in the imperial study, Dongfang Du cleared his throat and shouted: "Father~" Since it is father and son, there are some words that can still be asked in person.

"Du'er, do you wonder why your father would let you go out with the army and let you go to the army for training?" Without waiting for Dongfang Du to ask, Emperor Qianwen spoke first. Seeing Dongfang Du's stunned expression, as if he had been right, Emperor Qianwen smiled and continued: "Did Du'er always think that his father only valued Xi'er, and never valued your other brothers? ”

Emperor Qianwen got up, stepped off the dragon chair, and put his hand on Dongfang Du's shoulder, "Du'er, you must know that the rivers and mountains of the Eastern Qianguo cannot be defended by one person. "Emperor Qianwen remembered that his brothers had died one by one, and they all died at his hands, so he regretted it, and he was afraid that Dongfang Xi would follow in his footsteps, so he could only find a way to let the other princes hold something that could protect themselves, such as military power.

"Erchen understands, it's just, why did you suddenly choose me?" Dongfang Du raised his head and looked at Emperor Qianwen seriously, waiting for his answer.

"Because the person standing in the imperial study at this moment happens to be you." The implication is that if it was another prince standing in the imperial study at this time, Emperor Qianwen would also give him this opportunity to go to the army for training.

"Erchen understood." Dongfang Du nodded.

"Okay, go back and rest for a few days, and prepare to go out with General Zhang in five days." Emperor Qianwen withdrew his hand, turned around and returned to the dragon chair, "I still have a fold to be approved, you can go down too." ”

"Yes, father, the son and the emperor are retiring."

"Little Dark Cloud has really become Du'er's shadow guard?" Emperor Qianwen lowered his head and asked casually. As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow flashed, kneeling on the right side of Emperor Qianwen, and replied, "Yes"

Emperor Qianwen nodded, "Then you don't have to stare at Xiao Dark Cloud anymore, let her go." He turned his head to look at the dark shadow kneeling beside him, "Other little dark guards, don't let this happen again." "If you see that a prince has one less secret guard, I am afraid that the other secret guards in the organization, no matter how much they fall in love with someone, they will follow the dark cloud and quit the organization. There can only be one exception, and there can be no more.

"Yes, the subordinates will strengthen the domestication of the secret guards." The shadow replied and vanished.

As soon as Dongfang Du left the imperial study, he quickly returned to his Fengqing Palace, which was a major event with the army, and the first thing that came to mind was to sue the dark clouds. After seeing the dark clouds, I have to start arranging other things. It's only five days, and I don't know if it's too late.
