"Get rid of Zhou Jianxiong?" The prince muttered to himself, a little hesitant in his heart, could he trip Zhou Jianxiong? Zhou Jianxiong's power in the capital is too great, how should he, the new prince, compete with Zhou Jianxiong, don't eat meat, but cause a commotion.

"Xianggong, you can't hesitate in this matter, you must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the matter drags on, the easier it is to change." Wang was in a hurry.

"I see, I'm going to figure out where to start." Xiao Ruiqing frowned, and the matter of dealing with Zhou Jianxiong should be kept secret, so as not to be aspired by Zhou Jianxiong.

"Xianggong, it's better to start from my father's side, no matter what happens, the final decision is still made by my father, as long as my father supports you, what can Zhou Jianxiong do, Zhou Jianxiong is now in power, how can my father not be afraid, my father is afraid that the Zhou family will come to a sandpiper to compete for the benefit of the fisherman, you just need to provoke it and leave a shadow in the heart of your father, sooner or later we can clean up Zhou Jianxiong." Wang's eyes rolled, and he approached Xiao Ruiqing and said.

"It's really my good daughter-in-law, smart" Xiao Ruiqing kissed Wang, it is rare for the daughter-in-law to be smart, it seems that she will come to Mrs. to sit here more in the future.

"Xianggong, as long as you are good, the concubine is good, you are the concubine's heaven." Wang looked at Xiao Ruiqing with admiration, with a shy face.

Xiao Ruiqing picked up Wang and walked to the big bed

*************

"The son of the emperor to say goodbye to his father" Xiao Ruiqing walked into the imperial study

"Get up," the emperor was reviewing the recital, and he couldn't even bother to raise his head.

"Father, it doesn't matter if the matter is not finished, but you have to take care of yourself. We need you to take care. Xiao Ruiqing took a few steps forward and walked to the imperial table with a look of concern.

"I know, but if I am not in his position, I will not seek his own government, since I am the emperor, I must do what an emperor should do, now that the war has not stopped, and the country has not been completely defeated, how can I relax?" The Emperor tapped his shoulder with some weariness.

"Father is tired, but the war on the front line is tight?" Xiao Ruiqing motioned for the eunuch to give his father a massage.

"yes? Although I used to think that we had enough troops in our hands. Playing this weather is a breeze. But when I really started fighting, I found that the few soldiers in my hands were really stretched, and soldiers were needed to fight on the front line, and soldiers were needed to be stationed in various state capitals in the rear. Defend our territory. Plus the soldiers who went to quell the riots of the victims. Soldiers are needed everywhere, and where can I send so many soldiers, but the newly recruited soldiers cannot be trained. What can you do? The emperor was annoyed when he mentioned this, but he begged him to send troops, but where did he have so many soldiers.

"My father has worked hard, and my son is ashamed, and I didn't do my best to help my father deal with these troubles."

"It's okay for me to work hard, as long as I can conquer this world as soon as possible," the emperor waved his hand.

"Father, since the army is so scarce now, why not use the 300,000 troops in the north, it is a lion stationed in the north, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to our Xiao family army, as long as they are mobilized, the current crisis can be solved, and the father does not need to be so anxious, and the world can be pacified quickly." Xiao Ruiqing led the topic to Zhou Jianxiong.

"I also had this plan, but Zhou Jianxiong said that the army in the north can't move, it's about to be winter, this year's grassland drought is great, cattle and sheep production is reduced, if it snows heavily in winter, the Turks will definitely go south, there are no soldiers to resist, the Turks will soon be able to hit the capital, and it will only be more troublesome at that time, so the army over there can't move." How could he not have thought about it, but he was helpless if he couldn't move.

"Father, is it impossible to move, or he Zhou Jianxiong doesn't want to move, what's the situation now, if there is no sufficient source of troops on the front line, the territory we occupy will be lost little by little, resulting in low morale and demoralization, it is not easy to regroup, as for the northern side, it is not certain whether it can be fought, there was a Zhou army stationed in the north before, even if the Turks want to fight the autumn wind, they don't dare to really attack the army, as long as the deterrence is enough, they don't dare, there are 300,000 troops over there, let's transfer 200,000, The remaining 100,000 is enough, even if there is a real fight, it doesn't matter, they are just here to grab food, and the big deal is that there will be peace talks when the time comes, and if they are given enough food, they will leave. Xiao Ruiqing pouted.

"Transferring 200,000 troops?" The emperor was a little hesitant, it was because there were so many soldiers in the north that he could ensure that the grassland was not chaotic, and if he was really transferred, would there really be no danger? The ambitions of the people on the grassland must have eyeliner in the north, and as long as the soldiers are mobilized, there will definitely be abnormal movements over there.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Xiao Ruiqing continued: "Father, are you really not guarding against Zhou Jianxiong? In the future, the world must be our Xiao family, Zhou Jianxiong has so many soldiers in his hands, and the 300,000 troops are listening to him, we can't help but prepare early, father, now the front line has become white-hot, and we don't have enough soldiers in our hands, if we really wait until we are both defeated, the Zhou family will come to a fisherman to profit, then we are really making wedding dresses for others, and now we are moving 200,000 troops, but also to test Zhou Jianxiong, to see if he really wholeheartedly surrenders to our Xiao family, the war will be lost, these 200,000 troops will go up, It was Zhou Jianxiong's soldiers who were killed and wounded, and it was our army that survived, as for the remaining 100,000, let the Turks fight, so that Zhou Jianxiong's forces could be eliminated at once, so that the emperor's country would be stable. Xiao Ruiqing kept analyzing.

The emperor, glanced at his son, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, his son has really grown up and matured, and he said at once that he was in his heart, and now for Zhou Jianxiong, he is indeed on guard and trust, but now that there are wars everywhere, he really can't take care of Zhou Jianxiong's side, but what his son said also makes sense, he really has to prepare early.

"Okay, then you can write a recital, and mention it at the court meeting tomorrow," the emperor finally nodded.

"Yes, Erchen obeys" Xiao Ruiqing clenched his fists, covering the smug look in his eyes.

The next day, Zhou Jianxiong returned to the house early, Zhou Xiya didn't go out today, and all the relatives who should be transferred were transferred in the past few days, and she happened to rest at home today.

"Father, why did you come back so early today?" Zhou Xiya's words fell, and I saw that the second brother also lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Father. Second brother, who are you? What happened? "Why did the second brother come back at this point?

"You got the news too?" Zhou Jianxiong spoke.

"Yes, the news from the court spread quickly, and I came back when I got the news." Zhou Guangxun nodded.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Xiya stomped her feet, very anxious.

"Xiya, what are your plans for the future, or what are your plans for Xiao Jingqing's future?" Zhou Jianxiong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Zhou Xiya frowned, how could her father ask like this, he was busy these days. She really didn't have a chance to talk to her father about her plans. But she won't hide her father, anyone in this world can harm her, only her father won't.

"Dad, I want Xiao Jingqing to ascend to the throne. My son is the next emperor. In this world, I Zhou Xiya is bound to win. Zhou Xiya made no secret of her ambitions. She is no longer the woman of the family who did not understand the world at the beginning, she is now a princess and a wife. It's a mother, she wants to plan for her husband and children, and she has reached such a moment, either you die or I live, and there is no room for kindness and hesitation.

"Okay, it's not my daughter, since you have this, then the Zhou family will naturally fully support you, we will support Xiao Jingqing to ascend to the throne, and my grandson must also be the emperor." Zhou Jianxiong smiled, although he has no ambition to conquer the world, but his grandson can have it, as long as Xiya is the queen and the queen mother, then the Zhou family will be prosperous within a hundred years, so he will have an explanation for the family.

"Father, you haven't said anything about what happened, you and your second brother are hurrying home?"

"Your father-in-law wants to attack the Zhou family, regardless of the crisis in the north, he insists on transferring 200,000 troops from the north to the front line, he not only wants to test the Zhou family, but also wants to consume the Zhou family's troops." Zhou Jianxiong did not hide it.

"Second uncle, we have to deal with it quickly, the military power in our hands is our reliance, and the military power cannot be handed over." Zhou Guangxun is very worried, why the Zhou family is standing tall depends on the military power in his hands, this time the dynasty has changed, how many big families in the capital have been destroyed, not because there is no foundation.

"I understand" Zhou Jianxiong's mind turned around a few times, the military power cannot be handed over, but how can he resist the emperor's order, after all, the Xiao family is now in power.

"Father, it's all daughters who are unfilial, and they have affected the family" Zhou Xiya was very sorry.

"It's none of your business, such a thing will come out sooner or later, the emperor will not allow the Zhou family to hold such a heavy military power in his hands, now it's just that the emperor wants to consume the power of the Zhou family, the Zhou family has been in the court and the place for so many years, and it will not have such a little adaptability." Zhou Jianxiong smiled indifferently, he couldn't transfer the pressure to his daughter.

"Second uncle, who brought up this matter, is there someone operating this matter behind the scenes, the emperor should not make a temporary decision." Zhou Guangxun said the key.

"It should be that the King of Han is playing ghosts, this matter is not only simply the emperor's jealousy of our Xiao family, but also the battle for the crown prince between Xiao Ruiqing and Xiao Jingqing, so we can't back down, let Xiao Jingqing and Xiya's side be weak, which is not good for the future." Zhou Jianxiong is not a bad minister, and he analyzes the situation very clearly.

Zhou Guangxun and Zhou Xiya glanced at each other, there are so many things here.

"This Xiao Ruiqing is really hateful, I will never spare him." Zhou Xiya gritted her teeth.

"Xiya, remember Dad's words, no matter how much you hate Xiao Ruiqing, you can't deal with him directly, Xiao Jingqing and Xiao Ruiqing are brothers, and no matter how discordant they are, they are also brothers, you can fight to the death, but you can't allow you, who is a wife, to calculate his brother, this will be a big gap between your husband and wife, if you want to do something, you have to come secretly, and you must not directly participate in dealing with Xiao Ruiqing, do you understand what Dad means?" Zhou Jianxiong explained uneasily, who said that men have no mind, in this world, not only women's minds are strange, but men's minds are also unpredictable, so he has to mention his daughter.

Zhou Xiya had no choice but to nod, she knew that her father's words made sense.

"Second uncle, what should we do now?"

"If there is a war in the north, where will we transfer 200,000 troops then?" Zhou Jianxiong touched the beard under his nose.

"Second uncle, you mean?" Zhou Guangxun's eyes widened.

Zhou Xiya looked at her father and brother suspiciously

"Although we have been fighting with the Turks for decades, but we don't really have to live or die, we are hostile to them, and we also have some friendships, some things can't be put on the surface, the court is unwilling to fight, and will send them some food and materials in winter, so that they don't make trouble, and maintain harmony on the surface, these things are all we do, so the Turkic emperor and the Zhou family still have some relationship, as long as they are given some benefits, they will be willing to come out and make trouble, this year there are few cattle and sheep in the grassland, and the herdsmen are not good to live, Let them come out and make trouble, so that they can ask the court for some benefits. Zhou Jianxiong had to use such a method.

In fact, he is also very helpless, as a general, who doesn't want to fight happily, but this war is not so easy to fight, there is not only black and white in this world, but also gray areas, sometimes pay some benefits in exchange for a short period of peace, it can only be a helpless move, war is a matter that involves the whole body, as long as the war starts, it is burning money, and the cost is much higher than giving out, so the court can only choose this way, the country must develop people's livelihood, and cannot put all its energy in the war, Although this will feed the appetite of the other party, the country is recuperating, and as long as the national strength is enough, it will definitely fight hard.

Zhou Guangxun nodded, now it is true that he can only do this, as long as the border war starts, then he can refuse the emperor's order.

"Send a message to your eldest brother, handle this matter quickly, you must be fast, you can't give the emperor a chance." Zhou Jianxiong ordered directly

"It's 'Zhou Guangxun who left after being ordered.

"Father, my daughter has embarrassed you."

"Silly girl, dad doesn't worry about who you worry about, you are daddy's only daughter, everything in the future is yours, I don't ask for anything else, as long as you are good, daddy will be satisfied, although the road you choose is glorious for a lifetime, but this road is not easy to walk, dad will not stop you, I can only do my best to support you and help you achieve what you want." Zhou Jianxiong patted his daughter's head, and in a blink of an eye, the little girl in his arms became a big girl and the child's mother.

"Dad" Zhou Xiya leaned on her father's arms, as long as her father was there, she was not afraid of anything.

***************

On the front line, although it is dark now, the war still does not stop, Xiao Jingqing is commanding the soldiers to attack the city, and he must take this city today

On the city tower, Fu Jiayue's battle robe was stained with blood, looking at the enemy army below, seeing that the city could not be defended, she couldn't help but take a step back, and the blood in her eyes made her unbearable.

"Princess, hurry up, Your Majesty told you to leave quickly, you can't hold it here." A soldier came to pull Fu Jiayue. (To be continued.) )
