"Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa are reversed?!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall were shocked, and all the ministers hurriedly gathered around to take a look, only to see that Cai You's secret recital was written very clearly, since the last time Zheng Linfeng embarrassed Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa outside Weizhou City, only a few days later, Zheng Linfeng suddenly announced that in order to commend Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa for their outstanding performance in the northwest battlefield, he would appoint Pang Wanchun as the deputy commander of the Tiandao Army, and Liu Fa as the chief of staff of the Tiandao Army.

A deputy commander and a chief of general staff, this seems to be a promotion, but in fact, it is not, because Zheng Fei also announced that the two will no longer serve as commanders of the Independent Army and the Sixth Army. This means that although Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa have been promoted to officials, they have no military power, and this official is still a false position, in fact, they are promoted and surrendered secretly.

As a result, on the night when Zheng Linfeng announced this order, Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa suddenly led the Independence Army and the Sixth Army, a total of 50,000 people, to leave Weizhou overnight and went to Dengzhou.

It is said that Zheng Linfeng sent five military orders to Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa overnight, ordering them to return immediately, but these orders were as unresponsive as if they were sinking into the sea. Although there is no conflict between the two sides, and Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa have not declared a rebellion clearly, the current situation on Jingdong Road has suddenly become tense.

However, Cai You also said at the end of the secret recital that this incident happened a little too suddenly, Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa were a little too straightforward, and this matter was full of doubts, and he did not dare to make a judgment, so he urgently submitted the secret recital, and truthfully stated the current situation of Jingdong Road for the Holy Lord's judgment.

After all the ministers looked at it, some were overjoyed, some frowned, some bowed their heads and pondered, and some couldn't bear to congratulate the emperor.

"Congratulations to the emperor, our divisive plan seems to have worked, and the thieves are really in civil strife." Liang Shicheng said with a happy face,

Wang Hao and several others also congratulated the emperor in close succession.

The emperor nodded again and again with a smile on his face, only to feel refreshed, he had not been so comfortable for a long time,

But at this moment, I heard someone say again, "Father, son-in-law thinks...... This seems to be quite strange. When the emperor saw it, it turned out that it was the prince who spoke,

Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao and others glanced at each other, and secretly sneered in their hearts, secretly saying No wonder the prince is not liked by the emperor, as the emperor's son, but he doesn't understand the emperor's character so much, the emperor is happy, but he has to pour cold water, even if this matter is strange, what can the emperor do, the emperor has been depressed by bad news for so long, it is rare to be happy today, why do you say you have to sweep the emperor's interest? Can the Emperor like you?

Sure enough, the emperor's smile suddenly froze when he heard this, and he slowly put away his smile and asked the prince, "What did the prince say about this?" ”

The crown prince saw that the emperor put away his smile, and a trace of panic flashed on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, "Father, the son previously knew that Pang Wanchun was Zheng Linfeng's henchman, and he was extremely trusted by Zheng Linfeng. Erchen is a little confused? ”

"Yes, Shengshang," Zheng Juzhong also stepped forward and said, "Cai You also said in the recital, he also felt that this matter was full of suspicions, and the minister thought that it should not be trusted!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he frowned slightly, and was silent in thought,

"The prince and Lord Zheng mean that this is a scene that Zheng Linfeng deliberately played for us to see?" Liang Shicheng said with a smile, "Why do they want to play this scene for us?" ”

Zheng Juzhong immediately replied, "This is also the place I suspect the most, we have been talking about how to let Zheng Linfeng send troops to the southeast to quell the rebellion for the past few days, and at this juncture, then Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa will be opposed." If they are really against it, of course it is a good thing, but if they are false, don't they just give Zheng Linfeng a reason to refuse to send troops to the southeast to quell the rebellion in the name of a fire in his rear? ”

"It can't be!" Wang Hao said, "Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu of the southeast are enemies, and if you want him to quell the rebellion in the southeast, isn't it an opportunity to take revenge?" How could he deliberately refuse? ”

"Oh? Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu are enemies? What do you mean by that? "The Emperor Qidao,

Wang Hao glanced at Zheng Juzhong proudly, and said to the emperor, "This is what the minister heard from the people, according to legend, Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu were originally in a group, and that Qishan was also Zheng Linfeng's, and then Zheng Linfeng went down the mountain to do things, and this was more than half a year, when he returned to Qishan, Qishan had already been controlled by Zhu Wu and set him up, Zhu Wu even wanted to kill him, as a result, Zheng Linfeng escaped from death and escaped from Qishan with a group of cronies, and then went to Liangshan to occupy the mountain as the king. Last year, when Zhu Wu had just raised troops in the southeast, he announced a reward of 100,000 yuan for Zheng Linfeng's head, and Zheng Linfeng immediately announced that he would offer a reward for Zhu Wu's head to show his contempt. ”

The emperor and all the ministers suddenly realized that there was such a thing between Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu.

Wang Hao continued, "Therefore, the minister does not think that Zheng Linfeng will refuse to attack Zhu Wu. Moreover, how could Zheng Linfeng know what we were planning, unless someone would give him a message, but who would give him a message? It's impossible! ”

The Emperor nodded repeatedly.

Zheng Juzhong looked at the prince, only to see that the prince was also looking at him, his eyes were full of hesitation, Zheng Juzhong nodded secretly to the prince,

The crown prince felt Zheng Juzhong's encouragement, and he mustered up the courage to step forward and walk up to Wang Hao and said, "Lord Wang, do you know what it means to 'raise your own respect'? ”

Although Wang Hao clearly supported Jiawang Zhao Kai, he didn't dare to be rude in the face of the prince, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "This ......, back to His Royal Highness the Prince, of course the minister knows that raising the Kou is self-respecting, which means that the generals who go out to fight deliberately keep the enemy from destroying it, so as to make their role important, and take the opportunity to ...... to the court," As he spoke, Wang Hao suddenly understood what the prince meant, and he couldn't say it anymore,

The emperor raised his eyebrows, but he also understood what the prince meant, he couldn't help but look at the prince with wide eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes,

The prince glanced at Wang Huang, his eyes were extremely sharp, Wang Hao couldn't help but bow his head at this moment, and the prince bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, the son feels that although it is not Zheng Linfeng who is quelling the rebellion in the southeast, he is so cunning, he must be worried that the war in the southeast is over, and we will start to deal with him, so he will deliberately find an excuse not to go to the southeast, in order to raise his own respect!" ”

"Holy Lord, the minister thinks what the prince said is extremely true!" Zheng Juzhong immediately agreed, and then several more people came out to agree with the prince's opinion.

The emperor nodded, and smiled slightly at the crown prince, "Heng'er has been reading the military book recently? ”

The phrase "Heng'er" made the prince's heart hot, and it had been a long time since he had heard such a title from his father......,

"Yes," the prince said respectfully, "In addition to the Four Books and the Five Classics, Erchen also read some military books. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "If there is a rebellion of thieves today, I often reflect, as the king of a country, it is useless to just read the books of sages, the two emperors of Taizu and Taizong were also in the world immediately, and the results were transmitted to me, if I can also be proficient in military affairs, and can give the correct orders to Tong Guan and Gao Yu in time, the southeast rebellion will not last until now, and Gao Aiqing will not die ......," the emperor couldn't help but choke a little when he said this, and the prince and the ministers hurriedly knelt down and begged the emperor to mourn,

The emperor wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, let the ministers get up, and continued to say to the prince, "You have done a good job! You are the crown prince, the eldest son of me, and the elder brother of the younger brothers behind you, so you should play an exemplary role! ”

After that, the emperor said to everyone, "Spread my will, from now on, the princes must not only learn the book of sages, but also try their best to learn the art of war, the Great Song Dynasty not only needs benevolent monarchs and wise monarchs, but also needs emperors who are both civil and military!" ”

The prince and all the ministers claimed to be,

"Heng'er, I'll ask you again," the emperor said to the crown prince again, "how should we deal with the current situation?" ”

The prince replied, "Father, Erchen thinks that he should still send a will to Jingdong Road as planned, and ask Zheng Linfeng to send troops to the southeast to suppress bandits. Let's let him be proud for a while, and then ......,"

The crown prince said categorically, "The son is willing to go to the southeast in person to help his father put down the rebellion!" ”

"Good!" The emperor was happy in his heart, during this period of time, he was very disappointed in the ministers around him, he never thought that the one who was willing to stand up for himself at the critical moment was the prince who had not been liked by him!

Looking at the prince's excited and slightly frightened face, the emperor's heart couldn't help but rise a little guilty, and for a moment, he remembered the queen who was snubbed to death by him, and also remembered how much he once loved this son who brought him happiness as a new father.

"I'm really sorry for this kid!" The emperor sighed secretly in his heart, and then he continued, "Everything will be done according to the prince's wishes!" ”

The prince hurriedly thanked him deeply, and his heart was surging ......!
