"Your Majesty, Changrong is a rampant child, why be afraid? Twenty years ago, I was beaten by the auxiliary generals of our dynasty to kneel and beg for mercy, and withdrew from the north of Rouge Mountain, and every year I sent people to send New Year's coins into the court, and now I only need to send the auxiliary generals to go, and it will definitely be able to be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal." Several people from each of the left and right classes stood up and agreed with the proposal of Cui Wei, the secretary of the ministry.

"Your Majesty, the auxiliary general has indeed made great contributions to our dynasty, but the auxiliary general is now in his old age, and the commander of the other party is no longer the ignorant child he was back then, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run." Zhang Zhongxiang, the head of the household, stood up and retorted.

Wang Chang also knows that in the end the war still has to be short-handed, this to climb the mountains and wade through the water, the enemy situation is turbulent, the auxiliary general is the father of Fei Yun, the general of the Fenwu Fenwu in the current dynasty, Fei Wuji, although famous, but he is old, plus he has been in power for many years, the world has been peaceful for a long time, I am afraid there may not be a full chance of victory. Cui Wei, the secretary of the ministry, has always been good friends with the Fei family, and this move is nothing more than to repay Fei Wuji for his kindness back then. If Fei Wuji returns to the court victoriously, then the eldest prince will have more supporters in the court, and then the prince will spread his wings, and I am afraid that he will be the crown prince. Although the prince exhibition has talents, it is only: first, the queen still has a concubine, and the prince is under the concubine; Second, the prince's literary quality is mediocre, but he may not be able to govern the country immediately, and govern the country - cultural and martial arts are indispensable, and cultural governance must still be put in the first place, which is also the fundamental reason why Wang Chang has always favored Shuguifei but has always hesitated to make the eldest prince the prince.

"Do you have any other proposals?" Wang Chang was noncommittal and continued to ask.

At this time, Liu Tingwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, your thirteen princes have all passed the coming-of-age ceremony, and they can be regarded as adults, and the beloved sons of their parents have far-reaching plans.

It was really a word to wake up the person in the dream, Wang Chang felt the same way, but he said worriedly: "Liu Aiqing is reasonable, but the princes have no experience in fighting on the battlefield, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this great responsibility."

"Your Majesty need not be too worried. The garrison of Juyong Pass is guarded by Fei Zhong, the second son of General Fenwu, General Fei Zhong has defended the border pass for many years, is skilled in bows and horses, knows the enemy's situation, and is now just outnumbered, His Majesty can make a prince as the commander, so that the king of Nanping County (note: Wang Chang's brother, who went out with Fei Wuji 20 years ago) is the left vanguard, and General Fei Zhong is the right vanguard, and at the same time, the auxiliary general can be sent to accompany the army to consult, then the enemy can be peaceful, and the people are safe. ”

"Your Majesty, it is still up to your brothers to fight, and it is up to your fathers and sons to go into battle. Weichen asked His Majesty to allow the eldest prince to be the commander of the soldiers and horses, and the eldest prince has excellent martial arts and will definitely be able to return to the dynasty victoriously. Cui Wei proposed again.

"It's the eldest prince again, what's the difference between that and directly sending Fei Wuji, these old foxes, all of them are scheming, and they are playing their own wishful thinking in their hearts every day. Hey, I want to have a headache again......" Wang Chang sat silently on the dragon chair, "I'll just quietly watch how you guys act." ”

The air was a little still, and suddenly, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think the third prince can take on this important task."

Wang Chang looked at it, and it turned out to be Pei Ruhai, the waiter of the Criminal Department. Pei Ruhai has never participated in the party struggle in the imperial court, how can he cause this troubled water now?

Pei Ruhai continued: "The third prince has reached the age of 24 this year, and his maternal grandfather is Cui Dongge, the secretary of the military department, who is known as the elegant reputation of winning thousands of miles away in the strategizing."

Cui Wei listened, didn't this make me unable to get off the stage? Don't I want my nephew to fight and make meritorious contributions? Just use the Fei family's blood donation to dye my Cui family's robes, and use the Fei family's military exploits to decorate the façade of my Cui family, how can the Fei family give up? What's more, my sister is such a precious son, if something goes wrong on the front line, there is no hope for the glory of the rest of her life. Besides, the hot thing in the harem now is Concubine Shu, and my sister is not favored on weekdays, even if the third prince makes meritorious contributions, he can't be the prince, so why bother to provoke such a strong enemy for no reason? So, I had to play hard: "Your Majesty, although the third prince is an adult, he has always been timid, and he will be so frightened that he doesn't dare to sleep when he thunders on weekdays, so he is really not suitable for this heavy responsibility."

Will you be scared to sleep if you hit a thunderbolt? This is what happened when the third prince wore open crotch pants hundreds of years ago, everyone in the court couldn't help but snicker when they heard it, this Cui Yu wanted to protect the son of Concubine Hui (Cui Yumei), but he could still make up anything, Wang Chang also tried his best to hold back his laughter, and still didn't say a word. However, Cui Wei's statement reminded some people that there were still several fathers and brothers of harem concubines in the court, and they also wanted to recommend the princes of their own family, but now they are silent, and no one dares to offend Shu Guifei.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to recommend one person, and that is His Majesty's thirteenth prince, Prince Zhao." Liu Tingwei spoke again.

Everyone began to secretly want to scold their mother, you Liu Tingwei is really good at calculating, you don't have sisters in the harem, but your son Liu Changlin has always been inseparable from the thirteenth prince, and the feelings you have pulled in front of you are nothing more than to let the thirteenth prince be able to lead the army and make meritorious contributions, in case the thirteenth prince becomes the prince, your son will be able to sit back and relax in the future, this little abacus is too ruthless, use the Fei family's military exploits to pave the way for the thirteenth prince and your son, it depends on whether the Fei family is willing or not.

Sure enough, when Liu Tingwei said the name of the thirteenth prince, Fei Wuji, the general of the auxiliary country, began to stand up slowly, this old turtle, the front was silent, with an expression that had nothing to do with himself, but now he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and healthy, although he has the heart to serve the country, he is really unable to kill the thief, and please ask the saint to investigate."

This makes it clear, if I don't let my great-grandson lead the troops, I won't go. By analogy, if the Thirteenth Prince is really allowed to lead the troops, I am afraid that it will also chill the heart of General Fei Zhong on the front line. Therefore, the courtiers began to whisper, and the scene was a little out of control for a while. Wang Chang gasped, originally he was just hesitating, but now Fei Wuji's attitude of relying on the old and selling the old made him feel that he really couldn't let the Fei family sit big anymore, although he also knew that the Fei family didn't have two hearts, but it was a matter of establishing a reserve, and the military power still couldn't be handed over to the Fei family, so as not to lose the tail.

And Queen Yun's relatives are all civil officials, even if the thirteenth prince leads the troops to fight and make meritorious contributions, he can't shake the country's foundation, which is a good strategy.

Before Wang Chang could speak, Zuo Prime Minister Yunlong (note: the son of the previous prime minister Yun Tianxiao, the brother of the current queen Yunfeng) stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed. The thirteen princes have always been mediocre in martial arts, and they have just reached adulthood, so it is really difficult for them to take on this great responsibility. I hope Your Majesty will think twice! "Yunlong is also a calf protector, Yunlong and Yunfeng have always been brother and sister, he knows his sister Yunfeng's thoughts best, but he is such a precious son, it doesn't matter if he is a prince or not, he must be safe, live a long life and be rich.

So, Wang Chang was no longer silent, and asked curiously: "Why does Liu Aiqing value the thirteenth prince so much?"
