To say that the two kings were noticed by the emperor because of what they did in the fiefdom, so they made a desperate bet, Huang Qiong didn't believe it at all. As for the things that the two kings did in their fiefdoms, most of the clans were doing the same. Some even did something even more out of line than them, and they didn't see the emperor punish any of them.

Everyone is a crow that falls on a pig, and no one is whiter than anyone else. As far as their actions in the fiefdom are concerned, not counting the accumulation of private soldiers, the old man will at most confiscate part of the Yongye Field. And even if the private soldiers are added, as long as they honestly admit their mistakes, the emperor may not really be determined to clean them up.

If what the old man said is true, there may be only one result. That is, someone is manipulating all this behind the scenes, forcing the two kings to rebel in order to protect themselves or something else. But who is this person and what is his purpose? Is it really as simple as getting rid of the two kings through the hands of the imperial court?

The most important thing is, what means did he have to force the second king, who was the prince, to adopt this method in order to protect himself? Since he left the palace, these things he has experienced are like a dense cloud, Huang Qiong tried to catch something several times, but he always felt that it was a little bit worse.

If this person is the prince, Huang Qiong doesn't believe it 10,000 times. Since I went out of the palace and fought with the prince many times, I have experienced. The prince's little tricks are also playing some small intrigues that cannot be put on the table. If he had this ability, how could he still be disgraced under the favorable circumstances?

Is it just this person, or who are these people? Huang Qiong: This is not the first time she has asked herself. can force the two kings to really turn against in order to protect themselves, which shows that this person's means are good. If the things that were targeted at himself before were also done by this guy, then the things that were aimed at himself at the beginning are just petty fights now.

Just when Huang Qiong was thinking wildly here, plus guessing the real cause of the two kings. The emperor, who was in a stable mood over there, suddenly spoke: "Ah Jiu, if these two kings don't listen to the dissuasion and insist on going their own way, how about I hand over King Jing of Zhengzhou to you to deal with?" ”

The emperor's words were like thunder on the ground, and Huang Qiong was stunned on the spot. Huang Qiong's first thought was that the old man was having convulsions, and the second was that the old man was digging a pit for himself. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Well, this is not good. To deal with the second brother, although the military is supplemented and political affairs are the mainstay, this dispatch of troops is inevitable. ”

"If you don't form Mount Tai on the battlefield, any appeasement is useless. It is said that the suppression is used together, but it has always been suppressed in front of the fu. Moreover, Zhengzhou is very close to the capital, and once this battle drags on, it will cause turmoil in the capital. In other words, this battle must be resolved in the shortest possible time. A veteran general who is not capable of conscription and habitual warfare cannot take on this responsibility. ”

"My son has just left the palace, that is, he has no experience in coordinating major affairs, and he has never commanded troops to fight, so he knows nothing about marching and fighting. And where can you command, those veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years in the court? The danger of a layman commanding an insider is very serious. You let your son go, and your son can't even lose Jingzhao Mansion. The son doesn't think that he has the ability of the former Tang Taizong. ”

"Besides, I have a great Qi ancestral system, and the prince and prince are not allowed to lead troops to fight. Even Emperor Taizong of that year was only a division and a supervising army, and the marching battle was still dominated by the king of Guilin. Father, this dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, and this ancestral system cannot be violated. There are many famous generals who can fight in this court, so you should choose another virtuous one. ”

Hearing that the emperor asked him to exterminate King Jing, Huang Qiong waved his hand repeatedly. He didn't want to do such a thankless job? There are so many princes in the capital, if they lead the troops to the battle, not only the prince and the king of Shu will be angry and jealous and go crazy, but the other kings will also regard themselves as a thorn in the side.

Besides, what would happen to King Jing if he really treated him. Don't look at what the old man says now, who knows if he will turn his face when the time comes? This thing is done well, and the benefits are almost not said at all, and hatred is still being pulled everywhere. If you don't do it well, the old man will definitely not be able to get any benefits, how can this be as simple as not pleasing both sides?

"Let you go, you go, where is so much nonsense. As a prince, when you need your help at this time, you are here to push me back, and you don't want to share the worries of your father, do you want to sit back and enjoy it at home? I let you go, and naturally there is a reason to send you. I also sent people to assist you, I don't have to worry, what do you have to worry about? ”

The emperor obviously seemed a little irritable, and for Huang Qiong's refusal, it didn't look like an ordinary displeasure. And those two eyes also seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and lungs, staring at Huang Qiong deadly. These two eyes were a little strange when they looked over, and even made Huang Qiong a little overwhelmed. The old man's wolf-like gaze, Huang Qiong saw it for the first time.

It's just that when Huang Qiong raised his head and wanted to refute and talk to the old man about the dangers of layman leaders, he inadvertently saw the well-concealed sadness in the old man's eyes. Seeing the sadness in the old man's eyes, Huang Qiong's heart trembled.

Seeing that the old man only used a hairpin, and his hair was half white, Huang Qiong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Two months ago, when the old man came to his house for the first time, although the old man was already in his forties, he still didn't have a single gray hair on his head.

Unexpectedly, in just two months, the old man has already changed half of his head into white hair. lost three sons in a month, no matter how resolute the emperor's temperament is and how many sons there are, this blow will definitely not be small. The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and no one can bear it if they change. He was not only an emperor, but also a father.

What's more, among the three sons, the cause of death of at least two sons will make the old man feel more painful. Cannibalism is so extreme, this scene is the last thing he wants to see as an emperor or as a father. But these things happened right in front of his eyes, and this pain was heartbreaking, even Huang Qiong could feel it.

Before the pain of losing three sons in a row passed, the queen who accompanied him for most of his life with his young husband and wife passed away. This kind of blow came one after another, and it was difficult for the old man not to get old. Coupled with the intensification of the situation, and even the two sons are almost on the verge of fighting each other, I am afraid that the emperor is now exhausted.

Looking at the faint sadness in the old man's eyes, Huang Qiong suddenly understood the old man's true intention of wanting to send herself. If you go by yourself, at least you won't do too much. King Jing may not be able to keep it, but there is no problem in keeping King Jing's bloodline.

But if you change to other brothers, or those ministers who blindly meet them, or cater to the intentions of the master behind them. I'm afraid that this Jingwang Mansion can't even have a piece of scum left. Today's old man has reached the point where no one trusts him.

If King Jing and King Duan really rebelled, no matter how many troops they had, they would be re-appeased or not re-suppressed.

Under such circumstances, the imperial court is bound to send a civilian prime minister, rather than simply a military attaché. The fiefs of King Jing and King Duan are all in the territory of Henan Road. The two kings have come to the point where they are today, and the pacification envoys and envoys of Henan Road cannot escape at least one charge of dereliction of duty.

Therefore, the ministers sent this time will definitely be selected from the DPRK. But the background of the Chinese official in the DPRK is complicated, although the old man has been trying to find a way to clean it, but where can this kind of thing be cleaned up in a short period of time? If there is someone behind the selected civil officials, then these guys who uphold the concept of cutting grass without removing roots and giving birth in the spring breeze are estimated to be unable to leave even the roots of the two kings.

These civil officials are ruthless, sometimes far more than those military generals who are rectum. The old man wants to send himself, I'm afraid that's the idea. looked at the old man's black hair in a short period of time, half of his head was white. Looking at the sadness in the old man's eyes, Huang Qiong's heart at this time suddenly had a trace of pity for the old man.

At this time, the old man, there is still a trace of the emperor's demeanor? What is the difference between it and ordinary fathers who are worried about their sons and worried about their sons? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong's heart softened. Forget it, let's do what the old man expects. As for whether it can be done, it depends on whether God can open the face.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong stood up and nodded to the old man slowly but firmly: "If the father is really determined, then the son will do his best." But as for whether it will succeed or not, my son is really not sure now. After all, the second brother is a big living person, and his son doesn't know what he can do. ”

As soon as this was spoken, no clear commitment was given. But Huang Qiong felt it, and the old man was obviously relieved. However, after hesitating for a moment, without waiting for the old man to speak, Huang Qiong said again: "If the father really asks his son to go to Zhengzhou, the son also has a few small requests, I hope the father can meet them." ”

"Do you want to bargain with me, or do you want to take the opportunity to blackmail me?" The emperor, who was relieved to see Huang Qiong nodding, was finally relieved, but after hearing Huang Qiong's later words, the hairs on his body stood up again. looked at Huang Qiong with a sharp, almost penetrating eye.

"The son doesn't dare, but to meet his father's expectations, a few things that the son asks are necessary." Regarding the old man's questioning, Huang Qiong said unequivocally. Although the emperor in front of him is resolute, he also has a suspicious problem that most emperors in the past dynasties have, but Huang Qiong has not forgotten it.

If there are some things that you don't say in advance, make them clear in advance. At that time, it may not be just King Jing who will be unlucky, and he doesn't want to become another martyr. Especially once the old man made up his mind, let himself prime minister this matter. Although he was not the first prince of the Great Qi Dynasty to lead the troops, he was the first prince to lead the troops in this dynasty.

Presumably, he is charging and fighting in front, and there are definitely not a few people in the back who are red-eyed and tell the truth. Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Although rumors stop at the wise, but if a lie is repeated a thousand times, doesn't it also become the truth? The lethality of rumors is not ordinarily powerful. It is estimated that if you enter the barracks on the front foot, there will be rumors on the back foot.

The emperor did not answer him immediately, but stared at Huang Qiong for a long time. It wasn't until he looked at Huang Qiong's questioning eyes on him, with a calm face that he didn't have half a point of weakness, that he said in a voice that was almost squeezed out of his teeth: "You say, as long as it's not too out of line, I will promise you." ”
