Chapter 58: Conscription of Monks and Soldiers (1)

In the end, it was Empress Xu who proposed in front of the emperor to let the eldest prince and the second prince go out together, and the two princes led the army at the same time, which can not only boost the morale of the army, but also train the two princes!

The emperor felt that this idea was still feasible at that time. Because other princes really can't show their hands.

Even these two may not be very reliable, but it is better than letting yourself go on the expedition! That's on the battlefield, but he will die at any time, he hasn't been a good emperor yet, and he doesn't want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at all!

The emperor felt that it was finally a big deal, but Xu Guifei and Xu Shuyuan exploded.

She didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will on the surface, but secretly she was looking for a back door everywhere, hoping that the emperor could take back her order and not let her eldest son lead the army to the battle!

You must know that she is old and decrepit at the moment, and she can no longer get a little favor from the emperor, unlike her sister who is good at bewitching, she is firmly in the position of queen with her own charming, and her eldest son is already in the position of the prince, it can be said that her position in the harem is as stable as a rock. Unlike her, she is just an unfavored concubine so far! She didn't seem to have any hope except for her two sons, and at this moment the emperor wanted her eldest son to lead the army into battle, and when he heard it, he scared off half of her life.

Not to mention going on an expedition, even in the harem, the son who doesn't know how to protect himself will definitely be unlucky on the battlefield! Thinking of the bloody battlefield, Xu Guifei was angry and anxious at that time, it must have been the fox spirit who made a statement to the emperor in order to sweep away hidden dangers!

She is not satisfied that her own son has become the crown prince, and she still wants to send her eldest son to the battlefield to die? It's really too insidious and vicious!

It's just that her strength alone can't change the emperor's mind at all, so she hurriedly sent someone to invite her father to the harem, and begged her father to ask the emperor if he could change people to go on the expedition?

As a result, Xu Yingcheng reluctantly told her that the emperor would never change people easily. It's just that Xu Yingcheng saw that his daughter was really pitiful, so he proposed a compromise plan to her, saying that it was impossible to let the emperor take back his fate at this moment, but he could persuade the emperor to send another commander with a higher title than the emperor's eldest son Yun Yibai, and when the time came, the commander would command the three armies, and the eldest prince would not be allowed to go to the battlefield, so that Yibai's life would not be in any danger. Don't be afraid, when you get over there, your younger brother Xu Zekun will take care of him, don't worry too much, in case they go to fight and become famous, it is unknown if the emperor will look at him differently when he comes back, so you just want to open up and let him go happily.

Xu Shuyuan especially wanted to talk about Xu Shuyi's vicious intentions in front of her father, but when she thought that her father always favored this favored sister in the past, she didn't dare to say those words anymore at this moment, so she could only obey her father's arrangement and see who the emperor would send!

Of course, it seems that in addition to the crown prince, the only one who holds the title of Prince Rui is the Nine Emperor Uncle Yun Pengfei.

Although he is a full wine bag and rice bag, and he has no ambitions, he has a high title, his age is longer than those princes, and he is also a high-ranking person in the court, so Xu Yingcheng can only recommend him to the emperor to lead two princes who have no practical experience to go on the expedition, so as to show that our dynasty attaches great importance to this war!

Of course, there is another reason, because Yun Pengfei does not have any ambitions except for eating, drinking and having fun on weekdays, so the emperor thinks so highly of him. gave him a high-ranking official, not to mention, but also entrusted him with important tasks. Therefore, Xu Yingcheng also felt that letting him go to Minhekou would not be a threat to his son, saying that he was the prince and the boss. But everything is decided by his son, and when the time comes, if he really wins, it will be the honor of their Xu family, and if he loses the battle, it will be the responsibility of the boss! Therefore, Xu Yingcheng pushed Yun Pengfei to the front line without any scruples.

And the other two princes, one is his nephew, who will definitely listen to his uncle when he arrives at the border. Another one? I don't have any background in the palace, and I haven't been favored in front of the emperor since I was a child, so there is no threat at all!

Let him go just to be a companion for his grandson, to put it mildly, in case of defeat, he is a good substitute for the dead, and in case of victory, it is a good stepping stone.

After Xu Yingcheng arranged everything here, he sent a secret report to his son, telling him about the upcoming several coaches, and he asked his son not to play now, so as not to get injured. As for the recovery of Xihai City, we will talk about it after the army arrives.

The emperor, who was a little annoyed and angry, did not hesitate to mobilize troops from other places to reinforce in order to succeed in one fell swoop. And I also heard that there are a group of warrior monks with strong martial arts in Linggu Temple in Fengqi Mountain, who are not only strong in martial arts, but also very good at actual combat.

Just because the reinforcements were intercepted twice on the territory of Lan Zhaoguo, the emperor who was so happy with his achievements felt embarrassed, so this time it was necessary to ensure that the reinforcements were smooth all the way, and there must be some people with strong martial arts to clear the obstacles for the reinforcements on the way, so as to ensure that the reinforcements could reach the battlefield smoothly.

Therefore, the emperor ordered to send people to Linggu Temple to pass the decree, saying that at this moment, when the country was in danger, it was necessary to recruit those monks and soldiers with strong martial arts to fight on the battlefield to cooperate!

Except for the young, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the rest of the warrior monks of Linggu Temple all went to the battlefield with Prince Rui's army!

Linggu Temple in June is the time of the unbearable heat.

According to the past practice, the monks are practicing some of the most basic martial arts routines in the backyard at the moment

Although the scorching sun is on the head and the wind is hot, it is the most basic prerequisite for these warrior monks to practice in winter and summer.

It wasn't until a group of people came to the monastery with the holy decree, gathered all the monks of the monastery, and then read the holy decree aloud by one person, that they knew that they were going to be conscripted into the army, and went to the mouth of the Min River with reinforcements to participate in the battle to recapture Xihai City.

Yun Yichen was also dragged by Yun Pengfei to read the holy decree with him this time, and selected monks and soldiers who could be recruited and fought well in their opinion, as for those old, weak, sick and disabled monks, they were also sent to death if they were recruited.

The presiding officer of the temple has been informed, and even if he does not agree at this moment, there is no way, because the emperor's holy decree has come, and if they do not obey, they will be punished with the decree, and no one dares to stand up and say no at this time.

Yun Yichen didn't expect that there would be so many warrior monks in Linggu Temple!

The variety of names registered in the register is dazzling to look at.

The whole temple is full of monks!

The head of the white flower flower from a high place shines golden in the summer sun.

"These monks all look the same, who knows whose martial arts are powerful? Who's sick? How does this make people choose? Yun Pengfei, who was dizzy, whispered in Yun Yichen's ear.

"I don't know how you choose, anyway, you are the boss, you are in charge of the task of selecting monks and soldiers this time, I am just an errand boy, it is useless to ask me." Yun Yichen squinted his eyes and said.

To be honest, today's sun is so poisonous, his cheeks hurt from the sun, not to mention that these monks are bare in the sun, so much of his hair is hot, and his bare face is really scorched!

"I knew you were following to see the fun. In this way, let them all practice here, and let me see which ones are really good at kung fu and which ones are indiscriminate. After Yun Pengfei finished speaking, he walked up to the elders who accompanied them in selecting troops: "Because the emperor has an order, as long as those monks and soldiers who are strong and have strong martial arts, can they show some skills here?" Shall I pick some of the best soldiers? ”

"What Prince Rui said is extremely true, there are some warrior monks who have just come to this temple, and their skills are definitely not very strong, let them show them one by one, if Prince Rui likes us, he will write down their names, and let them continue to study in this temple if they don't like them?" After the elder finished speaking, he folded his hands and recited a Zen phrase.

Yun Pengfei had no choice but to nod, such a hot day, let him choose? It's really life-threatening.

It's just not okay if you don't choose, even if you are stupid and incompetent, you don't dare to be careless at this moment, because at this moment it is a major event related to your own life! chose those who don't know martial arts to go to the battlefield, not to mention their lives, and it is difficult to protect their lives, so Yun Pengfei is riveting this time and wants to recruit some elite soldiers and strong generals to ensure that he can return to Jinling City after he goes on the expedition!
