Chapter 111: Not suitable
Seeing this, the prince of the East Palace on the side moved his lips slightly, but he didn't know what he thought, and in the end he didn't make a sound, and still stood silently.
Emperor Chen looked at Yuan Kai condescendingly for a moment, the Son of Heaven was silent, who dared to say more?
Yuan Kai obviously felt the oppression from above, and there was a trace of panic on his always calm face, but fortunately he lowered his head and no one noticed it.
At this time, there was a rush outside the door, and Manager Li walked in from the outside with small steps, approached the bright yellow figure, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the son has arrived." ”
As soon as Emperor Chen heard that Mo Shen had arrived, he gradually put away the angry appearance just now, nodded to Manager Li, and motioned for him to come in.
Mo Shen's arrival seemed to make the air in the imperial study much fresher, his pace was unhurried, with a kind of comfort, as if he was walking in his own garden, and the depressing atmosphere in the hall gradually disappeared because of his arrival.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Flat."
Mo Shen slowly stood up straight, ignoring the gaze cast by the prince on the side, and quietly waited for the king to speak.
Hearing only a long sigh, the king's helpless voice immediately came, "Some time ago, the disarmament proposed by the Tobe Shangshu was very much in favor of the prince at that time. ”
"Well, Chen remembers that this incident also caused a sensation in the government and the opposition at that time." He paused and raised an eyebrow, "But the progress of this matter has been blocked?" ”
Emperor Chen waved his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Yuan Kai, it's up to you to tell me what happened in this situation." ”
Yuan Kai was silent, raised his head slightly, and said: "The Chifeng Army in Dongying rioted and disobeyed military orders, so that now Dongying has been controlled by the chaotic army, and the hearts of other military camps are gradually becoming restless. ”
"How could this happen?" The man's voice was visibly surprised, but he quickly calmed down.
"If this is the case, then the top priority now must be to stabilize the morale of the army."
Yuan Kai nodded, "The general has ordered his subordinates to pay attention to the situation of each battalion as soon as possible, and once there is any disobedience, they will be strangled immediately." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mo Shen's brows furrowed obviously, "General Yuan has always been like this?" Strict management of the army? ”
"What's wrong with that? The army has always been like this, is it possible to play tricks and govern the army with softness? There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Sure enough, Wenchen is Wenchen, and he will only talk about big truths and be unrealistic.
Mo Shen naturally heard the dissatisfaction in his words, and he chuckled indifferently, "General Yuan has his own way of governing the army, otherwise the border would not be so stable in the past few years. ”
Yuan Kai raised his chin a little smugly when he heard his words, but then Mo Shen's words changed, "But has the general ever thought that in this situation, just strictly governing the army is not enough to stabilize the army's morale, and it will backfire if it is not good." ”
"Then the boy said, what should I do now?"
"The matter of disarmament and reduction of military salaries is already detrimental to their interests, and it is also appropriate to have a grudge against them, and if we severely punish them at this time, it will inevitably appear that I Chen Guo is not close to people and does not treat them as human beings."
At this time, Emperor Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, "What does that son think?" ”
Mo Shen first glanced at Yuan Kai with an uncertain expression, then turned his head to look at Emperor Chen, and raised his voice slightly, "For the current situation, in my opinion, General Yuan is no longer suitable to come forward. ”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of several people in the hall changed unpredictably, and Mo Shen ignored their changes, and then explained: "General Yuan has only returned to the imperial capital from the border for only half a month, and his prestige in the army is far inferior to that of other generals in the imperial capital. ”
"Before the Dongying riots occurred, the soldiers were hindered by the fact that General Yuan was personally ordered by His Majesty to manage them, even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they still endured it, but when this incident broke out, the general's prestige in the army was greatly reduced."
"As far as the urgency of this matter is concerned, General Yuan is no longer suitable to come forward."
His voice always kept a small volume, not loud and powerful, but it made people feel powerless to refute for no reason.
Yuan Kai listened to what he kept saying, and his eyes gradually sank.
What does Childe Mo mean? Is it really just thinking about it?
The prince of the East Palace on the side nodded in agreement with Mo Shen's words from time to time, he felt that Gongzi Mo was very reasonable, he didn't dare to think about it, wouldn't it be blatant to offend him if he wanted to replace General Yuan at this time?
Emperor Chen first stared at Mo Shen's face for a long time before asking, "Oh, who does that prince think should be involved in this matter?" ”
Except for Yuan Kai, who is quite prestigious in this imperial capital city and is most suitable to deal with this matter, the best candidate is undoubtedly Luo Qi.
As soon as the idea of the emperor appeared, Mo Shen's voice sounded, "General Luo Qi." ”
Mo Shen clearly felt that the gaze of the king above falling on him became sharper and sharper, his eyes flashed, and his face still had that casual expression.
It seems that the outcome of this matter has nothing to do with him, he just brought it up.
Indeed, the decision-making power still belongs to the king of the Chen State above.
"What does the prince think?"
Caught off guard by his father, the prince chuckled in his heart, he first looked at Mo Shen and Yuan Kai next to him, and then turned to look at the bright yellow figure above.
"Father, father, son-in-law thinks that what Gongzi said makes sense, or it should be handed over to General Luo to deal with!"
He didn't know why, his father would call him today, he rarely got involved in these things on weekdays, and now he dared to talk casually about such an important matter!
However, Gongzi Mo is quite reasonable, he is still the favorite of his father, and it must be right to echo what he said.
The crown prince nodded secretly, but when he raised his eyes to look at the king above, he found that his father's face was cold, and there was coldness in his eyes when he looked at him.
He looked back suspiciously, he didn't say anything just now!
Emperor Chen glanced at him with hatred, and when he saw that he lowered his head and stopped talking, he looked at Yuan Kai, "What does Yuan Aiqing think?" ”
"Minister, obey Your Majesty's will!" He didn't say he agreed, but he didn't object, he just showed that he obeyed the will, didn't fight or grabbed, put himself in the safe zone, and was a smart person.
Chen Huang picked up the two beads on the desk, held them in his palm and rubbed them, his eyes swept over the bodies of the three people below one by one, and finally his gaze fell on Mr. Li, who was hunched beside him.
"Li Sheng."
"The minions are here!"
"Spread my will, all military affairs in Yuan Kai's hands will be handed over to Luo Qi, and in addition, immediately announce Luo Qi's entry into the palace."
"Yes, the minion obeys!"
After Manager Li left with his small steps, Emperor Chen waved his hand and dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and successively sent the prince and Mo Shen back, but Yuan Kai was left behind.
The door of the imperial study was closed, and in addition to ambergris incense in the air in the hall, it was also mixed with a bit of solemnity.
