The dazzling sunlight stretched over the court, and tiny dust could be seen floating in the air in the light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the prince's argument made Xiao Wenxuan feel irritable for a while.

He knew as well as everyone else that the Great Yu Kingdom was not an opponent of the barbarians now, and King Zhao entered Beijing a few days ago, and his words were all jealous of the barbarians.

Although King Zhao's intention was also to give money and food for Xiao Wenxuan, King Zhao, who was once known as one of the iron curtains in the north of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, had already shown that he was powerless.

And King Liang and King Yong were even more tired of dealing with the attacks of the barbarians, and over the years, the money in the treasury and the equipment of the equipment department were basically given to the three vassal kings in the north.

Coupled with the annual tribute, the treasury of the Great Yu State is empty, and now it is no longer able to support Xiao Ming, and it is precisely because of this that this forbidden army cannot be easily used, because this is the last garrison of Chang'an City.

So the words of the second prince spoke to his heart, the words of the fourth prince made him a little unhappy, and the words of the prince to the four princes were exactly what he wanted to say.

"Okay, don't quarrel, I've made up my mind, I can't add more tribute this time, now the treasury of Dayu has been unable to make ends meet, how can I get money and barbarians, besides, blindly retreating, it will only make the barbarians despise my Dayu country more and more, this time I don't want to defeat the barbarians, just let them understand that my Dayu country can't let the barbarians take it."

"The emperor is wise!" Luo Quan and some other generals said in unison.

At this time, many civil officials were like mourning and approval, all of them were pale, they were afraid in their hearts, afraid that the barbarians would come to Chang'an, and at that time, they would no longer be able to enjoy this glory and wealth, and the gentle daughter would be fragrant.

"Your Majesty, you can't fight!" Cui Hao suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Then half of the ministers knelt down among the civil officials, and they all shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't fight, this dispute will be together, there will be no peace in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and the Jiangshan Sheji will be destroyed in one fell swoop......

"Your Majesty, you can't fight." At this time, many of the military attachés also knelt down.

"You guys!"

Xiao Wenxuan's heart suddenly rose with anger, in the past, it was only civil officials, but this time, there were so many generals among the military attachés who did not dare to fight because of the threat of the barbarians.

He suddenly had a sense of sadness, when did the whole country of Dayu be full of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and who were reluctant to steal their lives.

"Father, the son has a plan, which can prevent the barbarians from going south, but also prevent the barbarians from being angry with the court."

The third prince suddenly said at this time.

Xiao Wenxuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Hurry up." ”

"Father, it's inconvenient to say this plan in the court." The third prince hesitated and said.

Xiao Wenxuan waved his hand and said to the ministers: "Retreat from the dynasty, this matter will be discussed tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The ministers got up and left the Chengqing Hall in order.

When the ministers left, only the three princes were left in the main hall.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: "What can you do?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, this time the barbarians went south just to add tribute, to attack Cangzhou, threatening the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Cangzhou is the fief of the king of Qi, and further south is the fief of the king of Wei, for the safety of their respective fiefs, the king of Qi and the king of Wei will do their best to resist the attack of the barbarians, so that if the king of Qi and the king of Wei can defend Cangzhou, the barbarians will naturally go back in disgrace."

"If the King of Qi and the King of Wei can't hold Cangzhou, then before the city is broken, it's not too late to make peace with the barbarians, after all, if the King of Qi and the King of Wei can't stop the barbarians, the forbidden army and the armies of other vassal kings will probably not help, and the Great Yu Kingdom is in danger at this time, and at this time, it will be clear that the King of Qi and the King of Wei disobeyed the emperor's orders and used troops to punish them without authorization, in order to appease the barbarians in exchange for the peace of the Great Yu Kingdom." The third prince said slowly.

After saying this, the third prince was slightly proud, in his opinion, this is the wisest thing to do at present.

"Bastard, how can I have such a vicious son as you!" Xiao Wenxuan suddenly burst out, picked up the piece in his hand and smashed it at the third prince, "You are making me betray my siblings, betray my son, and betray the whole world, although I Xiao Wenxuan is not as good as Gaozu Shengming, but I can't do such a despicable and shameless thing." ”

The third prince was calm as usual, as if he had already expected Xiao Wenxuan to have such a reaction.

He said: "Father, can't you see clearly above the court today? Behind this lord and minister stood the king of Zhao, the king of Liang and the king of Yong, who were afraid of the barbarians, if the father and emperor insisted on going his own way, they were afraid that the northern vassal kingdom and the Great Yu kingdom would have different dreams in the same bed. ”

Xiao Wenxuan's face changed, over the years, the royal family of the Great Yu Kingdom and many vassal states have gradually drifted apart, and the intimacy between the Gaozu vassal state and the royal family is no longer the past.

In particular, the feudal kings with different surnames have been passed down for generations, and their relationship with the royal family has become more and more sparse, and they are faintly not obeying the royal orders.

It is precisely because of this that since Gaozu, the emperors of the Great Yu Kingdom basically maintained their relations with each other through marriages with many vassal states.

The words of the third prince are not impossible.

Everyone in the Great Chongqing Kingdom knows that he and Prince Zhao are like brothers, but in fact, the more this is the case, the greater the drama between the two.

This King Zhao is the barrier of the northern part of the royal family, if he secretly colludes with the barbarians, the barbarians can directly take Chang'an City, and it is precisely because of this that he is very jealous of King Zhao.

The establishment of Empress Zhao as the queen and his nephew as the crown prince were all to appease the king of Zhao.

After all, among the many vassal states, King Zhao's army is the most powerful, and if used well, it is a useful chess piece, and if it is not used well, it is a sharp blade that kills.

King Liang and King Yong are like this, in order to guard against the barbarians over the years, the treasury has given a lot of silver to the three vassal kings, if this is the time......

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenxuan couldn't imagine it, and the ambition in the court slowly cooled down.

He is now more than fifty years old, and he has long lost the enthusiasm of the year, calm down, he suddenly felt a little afraid, he was not willing to lose the throne in front of him, the glory and wealth in front of him.

The third prince saw Xiao Wenxuan's expression in his eyes, and he sneered in his heart, he knew his father too well.

He loved the throne more than anything else.

"Father, the barbarians have repeatedly attacked and harassed, and it is impossible not to return the color this time, but if there is really a full-scale war with the barbarians, the Great Yu Kingdom is likely to face the risk of falling apart, after all, the vassal kings of the world have their own thoughts, so the sons and daughters proposed this plan, all for the sake of the Great Yu Kingdom, for the sake of the father, besides, at that time, it was just a pretense to punish the barbarians and give an account." The third prince said again.

Xiao Wenxuan was weak for a while, he waved his hand, "Rong Zhen think about it carefully, you go out first." ”

The third prince answered yes and bowed away.

Outside the imperial city, Li Zhong was waiting for the third prince Xiao Zhen, and when he saw the third prince coming out of the palace, Li Zhong stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
