If a few years ago, Yuan Zhao didn't want to get involved in the disputes of various forces, then in today's situation, he had to plan early.

Whether Yuan Zhao is willing or unwilling, his body has long been labeled as a princeling in the eyes of the world. Sometimes even he wonders if he is the right choice to be so close to Jianzhang Palace and the crown prince? The wheel of history has its own huge inertia, and if you can't control its direction, there is only one result, and that is to be shattered!

The emperors of all dynasties regarded themselves as the true dragon emperor, and the dragon is a legendary creature, but it has always been unpredictable and capricious, and it may eat people one day. The ruthlessness of the royal family is because of the need for power. The emperor himself sometimes had a strange mind, fearing that his successor would not be able to bear the burden of the dynasty, so he would do everything he could to inject strength. However, once its power is strong to a certain extent, it will worry that its majesty will be weakened, so in such a sensitive relationship, many people who want to win wealth and nobility can take advantage of it, and various tragedies in the palace come into being.

The character of the crown prince Liu Ju is really not much different from what is recorded in history, he likes to read, is benevolent and obedient. Such a character may be a good child in ordinary people, but in Weiyang Palace, he is not a good heir to the throne.

Of course, it was a bit early to talk about this, and the emperor didn't mean anything else. But in his heart, maybe he didn't even realize it, he already had a trace of hesitation!

The fact that the forces behind the Soyu Palace began to be supported in itself speaks a lot. Even if he is not dissatisfied with the crown prince yet, he wants to engage in the same balance technique in the palace as the court, and he has begun to show clues, which is a dangerous signal.

Wei Qing's ability to march and fight is naturally higher than that of all the generals of this era, but when it comes to the ability to participate in court politics, he is far behind.

Because of several victories in the war against the Xiongnu, the Black Hawk Army has grown into the most formidable army of all Han armies. And Wei Qing, who was once the commander of this cavalry, his position is becoming more and more important day by day. Because of this huge foreign aid in Jianzhang Palace, Empress Wei's position is also more solid. But at the same time, unconsciously, the emperor's gaze was filled with a lot of scrutiny.

With the talent that Li Xuanji is currently showing, it is obviously a little unqualified to serve as the chief general of the Northern Army battalion. But the emperor did just that. not only handed over these tens of thousands of horses to him, but also gave him the title of Marquis of Guan Nei last year for the merit of suppressing the rebellion of the displaced people in the county and county. To say that there is no other meaning behind this, Yuan Zhao will never believe it.

Emperor Liu Che is a master of balancing the arts! Moreover, Yuan Zhao believed that after the previous lessons, the Xifengwei spies who are now all over the army must have firmly grasped the ideological tendencies of the generals. All the wind and grass will definitely reach the emperor's ears as soon as possible. This is by no means his imagination, but a conclusion based on speculation on many things.

As the general of the Great Sima, Wei Qing actually does not have much power in his hands. Since Emperor Liu Che gradually changed the military system, following the monopoly of government power, the military power has finally been grasped step by step in recent years. The so-called great general is just an empty name, and he has no power to mobilize troops in peacetime, and only when war breaks out, will the emperor personally authorize him to lead the troops and horses into battle. This is also the reason why Yuan Zhao insisted on handing over his military power and quitting the army.

The reason why Yuan Zhao told Wei Qing about the complicated relationship behind these many powers tonight was because he wanted to tell this honest man who was only interested in war, so that he could know in advance, and not wait until a few years later, when the situation suddenly changed, he would not have any preparation and no backhand.

And the reason why I chose this time to talk to him about this is also because this is the best opportunity. Yuan Zhao knew very well in his heart that the emperor would not let him stay out of the court for a long time. Returning to Chang'an this time will definitely be a new beginning. And no matter where he stood in the court, it would never be possible for him to say these words to Wei Qing again. Because at that time, if a high-ranking official of the court and a general in the army were talking about these things with rebellious content in private, then there would be a suspicion of rebellion.

The light in Yuan Zhao's room has been on for a long time, and he hopes that his words tonight will play a certain role, so that this future pillar of the army will be firmly remembered. Compared with pacifying the surrounding enemy countries and expanding the territory, the situation in Chang'an City is the most dangerous.

Wei Qing's face was very solemn. The purpose of his visit today was originally to ask Yuan Zhao in detail about the Western Expedition. Because after hearing this news, the hearts of many soldiers in the Black Hawk Army were a little nervous. They very much hope to go to the Western Regions again to fight a good battle. Such an idea made even Wei Qing moved.

However, after listening to Yuan Zhao's words, this thought gradually disappeared in his heart. It turns out that there is such a thrilling thing behind this! This made him secretly frightened.

"Brother Yuan, I understand what you mean. In other words, the Black Eagle Army must not be allowed to dominate the Han Army. Am I right? ”

Yuan Zhao finally laughed, and he nodded.

"Yes, that's it. As long as the Black Hawks can remain undefeated when the war mission comes, that's fine. As for taking the initiative to strive for more meritorious deeds, hehe! You can't do that anytime soon. ”

"However, there are many generals and colonels in the army who want to compete for this opportunity to fight! This is also for the benefit of the Han Dynasty, if you let the elite soldiers strong, you don't need to ...... I'm afraid it will cool the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"There will still be a chance to play. Didn't I already say it before, once this war spreads, the Huns will definitely go out on both sides. Then while we march westward, the defense in the north must be strengthened. The Black Eagle Army, who dares to fight, can go out of Yanmen Pass with all the armies and drive directly to the north of the three cities of the Hetao grassland, forming a positive deterrent force for the Huns. In this way, they will not dare to act rashly, and the military pressure on the Western Expeditionary Army will certainly be greatly reduced. Hehe! If you only deal with the two evil kings of Hugh Tu, a big victory can be expected! ”

Wei Qing lightly high-fived and admired, this is really a foolproof strategy. He asked the last question that came to him

"But...... Is it possible to overcome the generals in the army and come out on top to worship the generals? ”

"I promise, foolproof! Hehe! When the day after tomorrow when the military competition of the school wins, if there are brave people in the Black Hawk army who want to compete, you don't have to stop them. My original intention this time was to let her take this opportunity to shock the whole army in one fell swoop and be a veritable champion! ”

"That's ...... Are some of the requirements for going to the disease too high? I'm afraid of ....... ”

"Nothing to be afraid of! This first disciple trained by my Yuan Zhao is to have this kind of edge! If the Red Fire Army is gradually able to take charge of the Black Hawk Army in the future, then the pressure on you will be much less. Oh, I'm not talking about fighting against foreign enemies, I'm talking about being above the court! ”

Needless to say, Wei Qing already understood the meaning. He had a lot of helplessness and loss in his heart, but also a lot of relief. The Xiaoice who used to lie on his shoulder and affectionately call him uncle has grown up, she is no longer the yellow-haired girl who is always bullied and seeks his protection, she has the ability to lead an army to fight the world alone. Maybe he will grow into a hero even better than him in the future! He looked at the person in front of him who was talking eloquently, and couldn't help but feel extremely glad that he carried that girl on his shoulder to see Yuan Zhao more than ten years ago.

"Oh, I almost forgot to say it. That, that...... Hey. ”

Yuan Zhao raised his head in surprise, not understanding why Wei Qing, who had always done things uprightly and brightly, was staggering.

"Just say anything, is there anything else that is difficult to express here! Is it hard to say...... Brother Qing, you are going to marry a daughter-in-law? Ha ha! ”

He was meant to be a joke. Unexpectedly, the tall man seemed to have heard the most incredible thing. Staring at him in surprise, he opened his mouth and finally said what he wanted to say.

"You can guess that?! Empress Wei just sent me a letter the day before yesterday, and you already know about it? Could it be that the prince told you in advance?"

The expression on Yuan Zhao's face was also a little sluggish, this, what is the situation? He suddenly remembered some anecdote from the history and seemed to understand it. And Wei Qing mustered up the courage to continue to finish speaking.

"Alas, I will not hide it from you anymore. Back then, our sister and brother were both servants in Princess Pingyang's house. Sister is a singer, and I am a slave...... None of this is a secret. I just haven't mentioned it to you. ”

The man who has been awarded the title of Marquis of Changping Wanhu for a few years has a very calm expression on his face when he talks about these unbearable things and looks back on the past. Although Yuan Zhao was already familiar with these things, he didn't show it at all, just nodded slightly and listened to him.

"At that time, I never thought that I would get to where I am today. Hehe! Princess Pingyang has always been very good to our sister and brother. Therefore, over the years, Sister A has never forgotten her kindness, and there have been many exchanges between Jianzhang Palace and the princess's mansion. Since the princess was newly widowed a few years ago, Sister Ah saw that she was widowed, and I don't know what the reason is, so she implicated this matter on my head. It's just that I think I, Wei Qing, was originally from a humble background, how can I be worthy of ....... ”

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Zhao had already laughed and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Congratulations! Brother Qing, don't be presumptuous, you are now a world-famous hero in the Han army, the dry city of the country! With such an identity, how can she not be worthy of Princess Pingyang? It's a match made in heaven, so you don't need to think about it anymore! ”
