Even the Seven Princes, who have always been indifferent, and the Four Princes, who are low-key, are all supported by someone behind them.

Most of these princes are from good backgrounds, and they have enough strength from other families, and they are also very interested in the throne, but at present, it seems that the most powerful is the second prince Long Xu.

It is already extremely difficult for Zhan Ge to maintain the peace of the capital, and coupled with the difficulties of civil officials, he cannot act like before, overstretched.

Yan Wushuang saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but there was no way, the queen in the palace was sick, and she had no way to go to see it, and she didn't know what was wrong.

A few days later, the saint's health improved, and he summoned important ministers to the imperial study to discuss, from the prime minister to the various ministers, and several important military generals.

Lord Wei Guogong had something to do and was unable to participate in this discussion.

As for the war, there was turmoil in the east of the capital, and in order to ensure safety and safety, he led the soldiers of the patrol battalion to go in person, but he did not have time to rush over.

The rules of the holy imperial study are extremely strict, and the concubines are even more strict when they enter, even if they are like the queen, they are not allowed to enter without a call.

Therefore, when all the ministers and princes saw Concubine Mei standing on the side of the holy dragon chair and serving, they were all a little puzzled, but this was the request of the saint, so they could only remain silent.

There are also ministers, and between making eye contact with each other, some conspiracies have been quietly born.

"Recently, I have been unwell, and the DPRK and China still rely on your Aiqing." It's normal for the saint to speak, but for some reason, his eyes are cloudy, and his body movements are not very agile.

The prime minister observed the saint and took two steps forward to play: "Your Majesty, now that things are complicated in the court and China, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really lonely."

The saint raised his head, looked at the prime minister with a cloudy gaze, and only after a trembling scrutiny did he speak: "What the prime minister said is reasonable, among so many princes, only the second child is more capable, Xu'er, you have to assist the prince and maintain the stability of the court."

"What the father said, the sons and daughters kept it in mind, but the sons were worried that the generals of the war had a deep impact on the situation in the DPRK and China, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kind-hearted and did not have any resistance to this matter."

The second prince took two steps forward and analyzed it in a clear manner. The crown prince had something to do, he was pushed away, and he didn't come to the imperial study, and the ministers here, except for the neutral ones, most of them belonged to the second prince, and today, he had to make Zhan Ge pay the price.

Without waiting for the saint to say anything, a military department secretary came out next to him: "Your Majesty, what Your Highness said is true, the patrol battalion is controlled by the war general, some time ago, the minister asked the war general to investigate together, and he even shirked it on the grounds that it was not the task of the patrol battalion."

"Your Majesty, General Zhan is now the person who controls all the military power in the entire capital, even if it is Lord Wei Guogong, he is far behind, and the ministers are afraid that General Zhan will do something, but no one can control it, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Immediately afterward, someone submitted some forged documents, with Zhan Ge's autograph on them.

When the old saint finished reading it in a daze, he was instigated by everyone, and made a decision that he regretted afterwards: "In this case, what you Aiqing said is reasonable, and the decree is announced, and the war general will be relieved of the post of commander of the patrol battalion, and the ...... will be handed down."

For a while, the Holy Lord really couldn't think of anyone who could take on this position, after all, the duties of the patrol battalion were very important.

In this critical period, the second prince must have come out as a matter of urgency and pointed out a direction implicitly for the saint.

"Father, the war general is famous, and being able to become the commander of the patrol battalion is also admired, and now many generals in the capital can beat him, except for Lord Wei Guogong, only Lord Zhenbei can share the equals."

"Zhenbei Hou?" The saint muttered to himself, with a look of confusion in his eyes, obviously very unfamiliar with Zhenbei Hou.

The second prince gave the military department secretary a look, and the military department secretary immediately stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei played a huge role in the battle against nomadic refugees in southern Xinjiang before, and he was named the Marquis of Zhenbei, and now he has only returned to the capital for a short time, and he is the most suitable person."

"Your Majesty, what the military department said is reasonable, and when the DPRK and China are stabilized, the patrol battalion can be handed over to the general again, but the current situation dictates that the general needs to avoid suspicion."

This is the old king of this court, who has served as the prince and the prince, and he can be regarded as a respected minister.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wang said is reasonable......

With a series of matching voices, as well as Wang Yuyan's soft whispers in her ear, the saint still stamped the jade seal on the holy decree.

The smile on the corner of the second prince's mouth was unpredictable, but he was in a good mood, and even his father-in-law couldn't stop worrying when he looked at the holy decree issued by the saint in a daze.

However, even if he is the head of Ouchi, he is now overstretched everywhere, let alone passing on news to the outside, and he doesn't know who can save His Majesty from danger after the dismissal of General Zhan.

The holy decree was sent all the way to the patrol camp by Father-in-law An in a low-key manner, and Zhan Ge just came back from dealing with things, dressed in armor and dust, and there were still blood stains on his face that had not been cleaned up.

The summary of this operation is being carried out in the main account, in his opinion, the outbreak of this incident is sudden, without any warning, it must have been planned by someone else, but I don't know, what is the purpose?

"General, there is a eunuch in the palace who has come with a holy decree and is coming over now." The ink merchant came in from outside and whispered in Zhan Ge's ear.

The movements in his hands stopped abruptly, and Zhan Ge's pupils suddenly constricted: "Holy decree? Is it even father-in-law? ”

"No, it looks a little strange, and I don't know which eunuch it is? It's just that the Hou of Zhenbei is also following behind, and if there is an incident, his subordinates will inform him first. ”

Mo Shang's expression was serious, and he vaguely felt that this matter was extraordinary.

"General, isn't there a change in the palace? Otherwise, how could it be so abrupt that a eunuch came here. ”

The patrol camp is important, and the saint usually declares the decree in secret, so with such fanfare, there are doubts. At the moment, there were adjutant generals who raised questions.

Although Zhan Ge was in his twenties, he had been in command of the patrol battalion for several years, and these lieutenants were basically older than him, and it took some time to conquer them.

When the capital is in danger, if the commander of the patrol battalion is temporarily replaced, this is a fatal factor.

Even if they are all big and coarse, they can detect the smell of conspiracy in them.

Zhan Ge shook his head, his heart trembled: "No matter what happens, you must remember not to have any panic, the role of the patrol battalion, you know better than me, it doesn't matter who Zhenbei Hou is, the important thing is not to become someone else's handle."

Let the ink merchant go to the door to guard first, and Zhan Ge quickly explained some things to stabilize the morale of the army.

"General, if you don't command the patrol battalion? The brethren will not be convinced. ”

The deputy general also didn't look at the Hou of Zhenbei, and the matter of southern Xinjiang back then, how much water there was in these soldiers knew it.

It's just the guilt of the saint for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion that made them marquis, and the former virtuous concubine bought such an honor for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion at the cost of her own life.

Zhan Ge waved his hand to calm them down: "Remember what I said, if there is any weird behavior, remember to let someone contact me, and I will find a way to solve it." Everything is based on the safety of the capital. ”

"Yes, General."

All the lieutenants in the main account had serious faces, and they admired Zhan Ge's unhurried performance, and they also kept what he said in mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the ink merchant came from outside the door: "Father-in-law, please wait a while, let his subordinates report to the general."

A sharp voice belonging to a eunuch came in, with a thick disdain, but it was somewhat familiar.

"What general, our family is here to announce the decree, you have eaten the gall of a leopard, and you dare to stop our family."

"General, it's Grandpa An." Someone heard the voice and said to Zhan Ge.

Zhan Ge immediately thought of a eunuch he had inadvertently encountered, who was whipped by himself for bullying the palace maid, and his heart suddenly became clear.

walked out with everyone, looking at the arrogant Gonggong An outside, and the taciturn Zhenbei Hou behind him, as well as several other palace guards, his face was dark.

"Father-in-law An This is a big shelf, the saint once said that the patrol battalion only declares secret decrees, and moreover, it is forbidden to make noise, and those who violate it will be killed."

As soon as he saw the figure of Zhan Ge, An Gonggong Ma Pi smiled without smiling, and he remembered the whip clearly.

"General Zhengbei, commander of the patrol battalion, our family doesn't know about this, but this holy decree is a jade seal personally built by His Majesty in front of the ministers, our family has the courage to disobey the saint."

Facing the menacing gaze of the lieutenant generals behind Zhan Ge, Gonggong An shook his hand, unfolded the holy decree in his hand with a proud face, and glanced at Zhan Ge from the corner of his eye.

"Okay, let's not talk about the superfluous, General Zhan, all the soldiers, take the order."

Zhan Ge gave the lieutenants behind him a comforting look, and everyone endured the anger in their hearts, knelt down on one knee, and greeted the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The general of the expedition to the north has made great contributions...... The Marquis of Zhenbei took over the post of commander of the patrol battalion and must not be violated. Chin this. ”

After reciting the holy decree, Gonggong An was satisfied to appreciate Zhan Ge's suddenly gloomy face, and the anger of the lieutenants behind him who dared not speak, which was extremely leisurely.

"The minister takes the order." Zhan Ge's face was gloomy, not because of the lack of his leadership position, but because of the insecurity of the saint, he knew that the saint was confused, but he didn't expect that he would be confused like this.

How many dirty things have these princes done behind this, do they really want to put the capital in turmoil?

Gonggong An looked at Zhan Ge with a smile, and sent the holy decree to Zhan Ge's hands with both hands: "General Zhan, take the decree."

"Grandpa An has worked really hard."
