The atmosphere in the main hall was a bit deadlocked, and the sudden coughing of the twelve princes became extremely abrupt and clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What General Jin said is indeed true, but what the prince considered also has its truth." The voice of the twelve princes was very soft: "King Rui won the battle, who is unhappy in the Manchu Dynasty?" But as the prince said, fighting a war is indeed a hard work, although we have no experience in the battlefield, but we also know that once a war starts, the treasury will be tight. ”

The Twelfth Prince paused and continued: "Military expenditure is not a small amount. An army, rations, weapons, medicine...... Which of these things does not cost money? What the prince thinks is that if he can't fight, he should not fight. At the end of the year, it should be the time of family reunion, and no one wants to face this fatal thing in the war, right? ”

The crown prince listened comfortably, and it was rare to give the twelve princes a gentle look, thinking that this little twelve seemed to be the person of King Rui, and he could still stand on his side and speak, so it was possible to turn against him?

Liu Tong listened quietly, and secretly made another gesture.

Seeing this, the fourteenth prince stood up and said in a rushing tone: "What does the twelfth brother mean is that this battle is still not fought?" ”

The Twelfth Prince shook his head: "Fight or not, even if the father emperor makes a holy ruling now, Yanbei Guan will not be able to receive it and execute it immediately." What's more, now that the Yanbei Army has penetrated deep into the Xianbei realm, even if the holy decree reaches Yanbei Pass, it must not be able to reach the commander. ”

The Twelve Princes sighed lightly and arched their hands to Emperor Yuanwu: "Father, the sons just feel that there is no point in arguing about this matter, what the prince said is reasonable, and what General Jin said is also reasonable." Since the war in Yanbei has started, there is always a border commander staring at it, we don't need to be in a hurry, just wait for the result. ”

The prince didn't hear what he said, why did he go around and come back?

The fourteenth prince still snorted: "According to what you say, whether you fight or not, then we can't help it?" ”

"Whether we fight or not, it is not us who can put ourselves in their shoes and make decisions." The Twelve Princes have always spoken gently, and it is the same at this time: "If the father wants to stop the war, he can also make a holy decree and send it to Yanbei Pass for 800 miles." But in the end, whether the Yanbei army can receive the holy decree and whether it can cease the war at the right time depends on the specific situation, right? ”

Emperor Yuanwu was a little hesitant in his heart.

It is true that he doesn't want to fight this battle, but he also knows that it is not easy to stop now. Whether it is the courtiers or the sons of the ranks, they all have their own reasons.

He had to admit that even if he issued a holy decree to let the Yanbei Army retreat, the Yanbei Army was not so easy to retreat. Maybe with his holy decree, as soon as the Yanbei army retreated, the Xianbei people counterattacked, but they lost the original good situation.

After arguing for a long time, Emperor Yuanwu finally did not issue any holy decree, only said that the matter would be discussed again.

After the court, the crown prince deliberately narrowed the distance between him and the twelve princes.

The twelve princes did not refuse, and the prince invited him to go with him, and he followed him.

The fourteenth prince glared at him hatefully, and turned to approach Liu Tong.

Liu Tong's eyes were heavy, and he glanced at the twelve princes and left, his pace was slightly larger, and the fourteenth prince hurriedly followed.

The crown prince sneered, and his attitude towards the twelve princes became more and more gentle.

All the way back to the prince's mansion, Liu Tong told Hua Ze to do a few secret things, and then went into the study with the fourteenth prince to spy on them.

The fourteenth prince rubbed his hands, a little hesitant and excited: "Ninth brother, can the prince really believe in the twelfth brother?" ”

Liu Tong took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "The prince doesn't believe in anyone, he only looks at interests." ”

The fourteenth prince sat down, still a little unable to sit still, and the whole person seemed to be boiling: "Why did the twelfth brother pretend to join the prince's camp?" Can the twelfth brother dig up the news from the prince's mansion? ”

Liu Tong laughed: "Who said that I let the twelfth brother vote for the prince's camp?" ”

"Huh?" The Fourteenth Prince was surprised: "Didn't Brother Jiu bring a letter before, saying that when he received your gesture, he asked me to sing against the person who spoke before this?" The person who spoke before that was the twelfth brother, and that must have been arranged by the ninth brother. ”

Liu Tong didn't deny it, and after a deep sigh, he said softly: "It's not for this reason to let the twelfth brother show favor to the prince. ”

"What's that for?" The Fourteenth Prince asked curiously.

The personality of the fourteenth prince is slightly similar to that of King Zhu, both of whom are more reckless and impulsive, but the fourteenth prince is warm-hearted, and King Zhu goes to two extremes, because his mother was favored by Concubine Xian when she was alive, and if it were not for the help of Concubine Xian, the Fourteenth Prince might not be born smoothly. Before the death of the fourteenth prince's mother, she revealed that she wanted him to follow King Rui closely and make friends with King Rui. Therefore, the Fourteenth Prince is an out-and-out Ruiwang party.

But he has a tendon, thick nerves, and many details are not suitable for him.

Liu Tong thought for a while and said, "Don't ask so much, you just need to know that the twelfth brother has his business to do." In the future, when you see the twelfth brother, you still maintain a non-yin and non-yang appearance on the surface. ”

The fourteenth prince agreed, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why did the twelfth brother show favor to the prince?" ”

Liu Tong could only answer him vaguely: "In order to confuse the prince." ”

"Why confuse ......"

"Alright." Liu Tong had a headache: "Fourteenth brother, I still have something to hand over to you, and you can put aside other things for the time being." ”

The fourteenth prince hurriedly responded, rubbed his hands and said, "If there is anything you want me to do with Brother Jiu, I will definitely do it properly." ”

Liu Tong leaned close to the ear of the fourteenth prince and whispered for a while.

The fourteenth prince was surprised when he heard this, his eyes widened from time to time, and in the end, he smiled, patted his chest and promised: "Brother Jiu, don't worry, these things are on me." ”

Liu Tong reminded him: "Don't show traces, let people know that you did it on purpose." ”

"Don't worry." The fourteenth prince looked proud: "I can be regarded as the first overlord of the capital, and it is not unusual to do such a thing." ”

Liu Tong shook his head amusedly: "Then you go, remember, calm down first, and find the right time." ”

The head of the fourteenth prince should be.

Liu Tong sent the fourteenth prince away, and was bumping into Chang Runzhi taking Liu Jingyang out for a walk. The fourteenth prince smiled and gave Chang Runzhi a salute, and teased Liu Jingyang to call him the fourteenth uncle, and after getting the sweet and greasy title of "fourteen crisps", he left satisfied.

Liu Tong hugged his son and walked side by side with Chang Runzhi.

Chang Runzhi saw that his face was better, so he knew that the result of today's morning dynasty was okay, and asked him with a smile: "Did anything happen in the early dynasty?" ”

Liu Tong laughed and told him about the invisible sword light and sword shadow that he had been looking at the morning for a long time.

Liu Tong never hid these things from Chang Runzhi again.

Chang Runzhi pondered for a while and felt that Liu Tong was laying out.

She didn't mean to inquire about Liu Tong's layout, but just asked, "King Rui's procrastination trick has succeeded again...... However, why did Your Majesty listen to your quarrel and not give you a word of permission to issue a holy decree? ”

Liu Tong was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Fifth brother said that my father is old, and what I am most afraid of is that I will not be able to protect the evening festival and leave a stigma in the history books. Whatever he does, whatever he decides, he thinks about it again and again...... He was too steady, so he seemed hesitant. ”

Chang Runzhi listened, and only felt that King Rui's ability to guess people's hearts was really terrifying. (To be continued.) )
