Chapter 237: This Battle Must Be Won
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord Wang is indeed not suitable to go to the front line, he is inexperienced, and the affairs of the north are very important, so you must not be so rash." Jing Ninghou also stood up and said.
Wang Chang got an official position by virtue of his identity as a cloth cloth, and was promoted to Shangshu, which has long accumulated the power and status of the family. Jingning Houfu and other places have long looked down on him.
The emperor originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to let Wang Chang go, but these words penetrated into the inside, and they really pointed to Wang Chang's sore spot.
No matter how good his martial arts are? However, it is only on paper, and there is not the slightest combat experience on the battlefield.
And Wang Chang is in an extremely isolated position in the court. At this moment, he was questioned, but it was difficult to find someone to speak for him.
Chu Nanyue thought about it for a while, then stood up and defended Wang Chang: "No one is born to be good at fighting. Although Lord Wang had no battlefield experience, he also went with the last general to quell the bandit rebellion. When it comes to the study of the art of war, Lord Wang has unique insights. If he can be given a chance, wouldn't the court have another talent? ”
Chu Nanyue's words are really reasonable, and people can't help but believe it.
"Talent can be cultivated slowly, but it should not be risked on such an occasion." Donglin Yan suddenly opened his mouth.
When he spoke, his eyes unconsciously tilted towards Chu Nanyue, as if with a smile and arrogance.
And Dongling Yan's words folded the emperor's original self-confidence, and he was somewhat afraid.
"What King Qi said is not all exaggeration. The wolf ambition of the Xiongnu State, if it is really defeated in this battle, it will inevitably leave a laughing stock. The Emperor said in a deep voice.
Chu Nanyue has been on the battlefield for a long time, and although he can't exchange news with the emperor in time when he fights in peacetime, he has probably figured out the emperor's thinking.
For example, this time, the emperor wanted to succeed in one fell swoop and dampen the spirit of the Xiongnu State, and if he really only allowed to win, not to lose, then he really would never allow any risks to arise.
"Your Majesty thinks that Lord Wang is young and risky? Then I will feel ......," Chu Nanyue pondered.
Dongling Shuo quickly stood up and took Chu Nanyue's words: "Father, the son is willing to fight for this main general, Lord Wang can be the deputy general, and the two of us will work together to quell the Xiongnu rebellion." ”
He spoke so fast that he was still gasping heavily, but that was because he was too nervous.
Tanglin Shuo understood too well what Chu Nanyue wanted to do. Even if Emperor Fang Cai didn't want Chu Nanyue to fight, if Chu Nanyue insisted on going, and it happened that there was no one in the country to go, then the emperor would definitely agree.
Tanglin Shuo believed in Chu Nanyue's ability, but he was unwilling to let Chu Nanyue take risks.
They always regard Chu Nanyue as a victorious general, invincible, but she is also a mortal, five years of hard work, can this situation be repaired in less than a year?
"No! His Royal Highness is the heir of the emperor, how can he be in danger? Prime Minister Xie Xun was in a hurry first.
He is not for the side, just because Tanglin Shuo is the barrier of the Xie family, and in the future, Donglin Shuo may marry the daughter of the Xie family, if Donglin Shuo has three long and two short, then how about Xie Yinhua? What about the Xie family?
You must know that no matter how noble the queen is, she now has only one child. If Donglin Shuo dies, although the queen is a mother-in-law, she has no parent-in-law. How can he have the ability to keep the Xie family?
"The emperor's heir can't take risks, it's a joke." Donglin Shuo sneered at Xie Xun, and then said respectfully to the emperor, "Ruo'er Chen remembers correctly, how much my father was praised by the people when he drove the imperial expedition, and how much the soldiers in the army were inspired, everyone remembers this." Since the father can, so can the son. As for Lord Wang, since he will marry the royal family, he will also be considered a royal person. ”
When Chu Nanyue heard this, she instinctively looked at the emperor, and when she saw the emperor smiling and bowing her head, she knew that the matter had already become more than half.
The most taboo thing for the royal family is not that they receive less courtesy and preferential treatment, but that they only enjoy preferential treatment, but let their subjects suffer and die.
In order to alleviate the contradictions, the emperor's personal expedition, and now Dongling Shuo and Wang Chang's initiative to ask for help, are all a good way.
Although the emperor did not take the initiative to speak, he led the words to Chu Nanyue's body and said, "General Chu, since you have been on the battlefield for five years and have rich experience, it is better to tell me your own opinion." ”
Chu Nanyue glanced at Donglin Shuo, and saw that his eyes were firm, and he looked extremely relieved about himself, so he said: "Back to the emperor, the last general thinks that if His Royal Highness is the main general, it is indeed suitable." His Royal Highness the Sixth had been in the army for a whole year, which was unique among other princes. His Royal Highness is smart and wise, and his wit is outstanding, if he can be the main general, the Tanglin army can be stable. ”
The emperor was listening, so he pointed to the person who was kneeling down and asking for his life: "That Wang Chang ......"
"Isn't it right for Lord Wang to be a deputy general? Since all the adults feel that after the experience, Lord Wang will definitely be able to become a talent, then the best place for training is the battlefield. Chu Nanyue said.
After she finished speaking, she saw the emperor's deep worry, so she thought about it and took the initiative to add: "Or does Your Majesty have no confidence in the Sixth Highness?" The victory of the Sixth Highness on the battlefield back then, the master book in the account of the last general remembers clearly, this one-time, in fact, His Majesty has also seen it when he rewarded military merits. ”
"General Chu, you don't have to say it, I already have an idea." The Emperor said.
As he spoke, the emperor's eyes became more and more determined, looked at Chu Nanyue, and said, "I think General Chu's words seem to be the most secure now. The sixth prince is right, since the son of the common people needs to be conscripted, and then go to the battlefield, my prince should also go to the battlefield, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
When he saw that the ministers next to him heard this, they still wanted to continue to persuade them, so he didn't give them this opportunity at all.
And Chu Nanyue looked at this situation, and he was relieved.
She knew that this was a big breakthrough for the emperor. Compared with the emperors of other countries, the emperor is smart and understands the overall situation, and understands the pros and cons, in fact, it is not that he doesn't care about the life and death of Donglin Shuo, but he has a grasp in his heart.
If he was really unsure, the emperor would not really agree.
Seeing that the emperor's attitude was like this, the wood was already in the boat, and these ministers finally gave up the idea of stopping.
"Sixth, I will follow General Chu's suggestion and order you to be the main general. Wang Chang is the deputy general, assisting by the side. Remember, you two must win this battle. The emperor said resolutely.
"Yes, Father!"
"Wechen obeys!"
Both of them were happy, and they responded in unison.
Chu Nanyue noticed that there were many people in the main hall who were not happy. Dongling Hong and Dongling Yan both have no battlefield experience, and they are not qualified to go to the Xiongnu for the emperor, so they can only watch as Dongling Shuo is about to make war exploits.
And it's not just the envy of others.
Chu Nanyue saw the worry in Xie Xun's eyes, and knew that he still had a slight dispute with Dongling Shuo.
