Chapter 104 Talking about the Army
"Someone!"
The little maid waiting at the door heard the prince's shout, and immediately bowed over, smiling with a servile face, "Prince, the ministers have been waiting for a long time, if you don't see it, the little ones will let them disperse." ”
As he spoke, he was about to retreat, but Song Jinghe stopped him, "Stop!" When did Hongu say no-see? Change the clothes of Hongu! ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince~"
Song Jinghe's eyes turned around in this group of people, stayed on Ye Shangshu for a while, sneered, sat down first, took a sip of the teacup before asking, "Why are you here today, do you have something important?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally pushed one person forward, "Your Highness, I'm not in a hurry to wait for something, let's ask Ye Shangshu first what is important when he comes here." ”
Hmph, why else did he come?
The prince had long been dissatisfied with Ye Shangshu, and he didn't give him much of a good face at this time, so he asked nonchalantly: "Then Ye Shangshu will talk about it first, what is the important matter of finding this palace?" ”
"This ......" how he can speak! He also wants to save face, he can't say good things to the prince in front of so many people, otherwise, where will he have room to speak in the court in the future?
The others are all old foxes, looking at this posture, thinking about it, you can understand, just now the man continued to laugh haha.
"Your Highness, presumably Ye Shangshu is in trouble, and it is inconvenient for me to hear it, so I won't talk about it for now. However, the old minister has another thing to ask, since Ye Shangshu has become the prince's staff, why don't you let me wait to know, so that I can hold a reception banquet for you. ”
"Hmph, when did he become my staff? Master Li, don't be joking, go back and confirm the accuracy of the message when you have time. ”
Everyone was embarrassed, so they had to laugh and respond.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister just wanted to say something today, the little girl's house caught fire that day, and she herself was accidentally burned by the fire, and her injuries were serious~" Ye Shangshu sighed, ignoring the expressions of the people around him.
"The old minister has scruples, and there is only such a young girl, and he doesn't want her to ruin my life because of me, so she didn't explain it to the emperor in time. Since His Royal Highness has something to do now, the old minister will retire first. ”
The prince didn't stop him, and Ye Shangshu quickly left the prince's mansion, leaving a room full of people staring at each other, extremely surprised.
"This ...... Prince? ”
Song Jinghe waved his hand and didn't say much, thinking about whether Song Zhancheng had not left Beijing yet, he didn't want to offend these ministers, so it was better to find a reason to coax that Ye Shangshu first.
The prince of Jin has a staff to help, and the prince will not be less followers, and most of these people are in high positions, holding power in one side, and the means are even more ruthless.
What is shown to the emperor in the court and what is shown to the prince in private is a world of difference that cannot be described.
The emperor is not really stupid enough to know anything, but the news he received is definitely a product of layers of barriers.
Take the letter in Song Zhancheng's hand at this time, Song Zhancheng read the content on it, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the emperor of their Yiguo is really old.
"What? What's the problem? ”
After coming back to his senses, Song Zhancheng hurriedly shook his head and respectfully handed the fold to Deng Min, "Father, the son didn't see anything wrong, and asked my father to make it clear." ”
"Oops! I said, why can't you be smarter? If this kind of thing had been put on the crown prince, he would have already had a series of questions. ”
Shaking his head, he was very dissatisfied with Song Zhancheng's reaction.
"Father, the prince has the ability to govern the country and the people, and the son said that he is just a martial artist, thanks to his father's love, he was given the position of prince. The sons are already content, grateful, and do not ask for much. ”
The emperor didn't expect that as soon as Song Zhancheng came up, he directly dispelled his intention to make a fuss about the position of the crown prince, and he couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, you get up first, I know you don't mean anything else. I called you over this time to discuss the war with you, and you know everything and don't need to be restrained. ”
"The retainers obey."
Song Zhancheng sat sideways on the chair, quietly waiting for the emperor's next move, only to see Deng Min order someone to move in a pair of sand tables.
Looking at it closely, Song Zhancheng was more cautious in his opinion of his father. The sand table is full of the current situation of the war in the northwest, large and small.
But...... Song Zhancheng showed a trace of confusion on his face, looked at the sand table and said respectfully: "Father, why is there no rest area for my Yiguo army above?" ”
The emperor wrinkled his eyebrows and nodded, but he didn't say much, Song Zhancheng had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure.
"How about the army, I have my own arrangements, and I will talk about you today. Come, let me test you, if we have an army of 100,000, how can you use these 100,000 sergeants in the current form of the battlefield? ”
Song Zhancheng stood on the side of the main seat of the sand table, although the emperor did not come down to look at the sand table with him, but his action still made the emperor smile and nod, extremely satisfied.
"Enlighten the father, the emperor, an army of 100,000, and the sons will not use a single soldier."
Song Zhancheng's words were shocking, and the person on the dragon chair was shocked, and it took a long time to calm down, and he asked with interest: "Don't move a soldier?" You can see that the left side is already closed and wide open, and if you don't send troops to defend it, it won't be lost in a day. ”
It is said that with such an obvious mistake, the emperor should have been furious and scolded himself for not knowing how to use soldiers, but now his father did not get angry, but smiled and groaned.
The last trace of hesitation in Song Zhancheng's heart was gone, and he turned around with a frank smile, "Father, the strategy of using troops is not to blindly win by force, and the sons have other clever plans to make the enemy's defeat a big loss." ”
The emperor squinted at his son, and he couldn't see any meaning on his face. Deng Min smiled like Maitreya Buddha as always.
It is said that the battlefield is a man-eating purgatory, and how many people know that his court is even more prosperous, and not everyone can deal with these conspiracies and tricks casually.
His second son is brave and strategic. It's a pity, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, if the prince wants to sit firmly in the country, this two sons can't become Zhenshan tigers.
"Father?"
"Huh?" The emperor returned to his senses and sighed sadly, "I'm getting old, and I'm starting to get distracted after a while." Where did the emperor just go? Go on. ”
Song Zhancheng smiled with relief, but did not speak, only to see Deng Min lying in the emperor's ear with skillful operation, alleviating the embarrassing situation deliberately created by the father and son.
"Okay, that's it, it's not early today, the emperor is here to accompany me to eat before leaving. Go, tell people to prepare, prepare two more dishes that Zhan Cheng likes, and be happy today. ”
Deng Min received the order, beckoned over and ordered to go down, and naturally someone went to prepare.
Song Zhancheng was hung in front of the sand table like this, in fact, he wanted to say that he had promised the eldest sister to go to her. But that's it for now, that's all.
The emperor's dinner was not sumptuous, and it was not as extravagant as it was rumored, and it was even more nonsense to say what one dinner was enough for ordinary people to eat in a month.
In fact, the emperor has not had dinner normally for more than half a year, and because of his body, he must use various pills and medicinal soups to nourish him. Today is regarded as the light of the Prince of Jin, and there are only two more dishes on the dinner table.
