Chapter 364: Broken Reputation II

The eldest prince's expression was dazed, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lionheart lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of the eldest prince, and said, "An Ou's Second Snow Division and Yi Zhengqi's Chaoge Army, these two are mortal enemies. In our deal with Yi Zhengqi, we also said that we would get rid of Anou. But the situation is no longer the same. ”

"Hmph, did you let this prince do something treacherous? This prince has always been true to his word, even if it is the biggest thing, he must do it if he agrees. The eldest prince's eyes widened in anger.

Lionheart was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Don't dare." But you are not only an officer of the Far Eastern Army, but also the great prince of the Far East Empire. You have to look after the fate of the entire empire. Next, Yi Zhengqi will definitely force us to kill An Ou, as long as An Ou dies, will the Second Snow Master also come to surround the Imperial Mansion once? An Ou and Yi Zhengqi can only choose one. Although the Chaoge army is fierce, it is a civilian army after all. Second, the Snow Division is different, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Asaga.

The most valuable thing in the Chaoge Army is that it is easy to recruit it, and without it is easy to recruit it, they are nothing. But the second snowmaster is different. The eldest prince, you must distinguish clearly. When Yi Zhengqi asked us to kill An Ou, would we kill or not? If he didn't kill, what unfavorable thing would Yi Zhengqi do? If we kill, then first kill Prince Chu, and then kill An Ou. They are all imperial branches, and such an impact is not something that the current royal family can bear. ”

The eldest prince took a few steps back, and he sat down weakly in his chair not long after he stood up, shook his head and said, "I can't be untrustworthy. Who will dare to follow me in the future? Now the people in the entire war zone know that Yi Zhengqi was the first to openly join me. Because the civilians knew that Yi Zheng was my man, they trusted me along with me. Without easy recruitment, I will quickly lose the hearts of the people. I still can't do anything to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and hide the bow with all the birds. ”

"Now is not the time to hesitate. My Highness, Yi Zheng is notorious for his vengeance, and he submitted to your name to avenge it. He will definitely ask to kill Anou. However, this is not the time for civil strife. An Ou can't die, killing Prince Chu has already disgusted Huangzhi and is ready to move.

If you kill An Ou again, then all the Imperial Branches will think that you have just taken the position of supreme commander and want to get rid of them. It will be useless to explain it then. The Imperial Branch will be disunited, will oppose you, and the whole world will be flooded with layers of dregs. And Yi Zhengqi, he will not give up, he will coerce, intimidate and other means to achieve the goal.

Yi Zheng is wild and untamable, and he is not afraid of anything. You know, he is not afraid of the royal family, his Chaoge army even dares to besiege the imperial palace, he is just a civilian army against the rebel army who dares to go to war with the army of the Great Wind Holy Maiden. Anou, Yi Zhengqi, between the two, we can only choose the second snow division. In the end, as long as Yi Zhengqi dies, then the Second Snow Division and the Chaoge Army are all ours. ”

Lionheart secretly glanced up at the eldest prince, saw that the eldest prince looked dumbfounded, waited and said, "I know that the great difficulties we face are not morale, not the army, not the commander, nor the courage to give it a go. We have all of these. What we lack is a large sum of money, enough logistical resources, money to keep an army of millions running. I happened to think of where I would find this huge amount of money. Lionheart's words slammed the heart of the eldest prince one by one.

The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "You thought of killing Yi Zhengqi early in the morning, right?" You even thought about the property of the Asagaku. ”

Lionheart said in a sonorous voice: "Your Highness." To get the million-strong army running, it's not something that one or two giant businessmen can do. Only one province, two provinces combined, can do this. And this property happens to be the Heilun Province and the Horse Husbandry Province occupied by the Chaoge Army. The treasury is there. The Asagaku army frantically absorbed the property of these two provinces, reaching a terrifying number every day. We are working hard, but he is making a lot of war money, and his casual gifts are enough for a month or two of our army. ”

The eldest prince's face turned unnatural: "I have also heard what Yi Zheng has done in the two provinces. It's just that the empire is in trouble at the moment, and if he is asked to hand over his belongings, he will not refuse. ”

Lionheart's voice became stern, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, don't you still understand? Why can the Chaoge army be crazy about collecting money, but our royal family cannot? Because these places belong to the royal family, the Chaoge army doesn't care about it at all, as long as they make a lot of war money, they will finally let the royal family clean up the mess.

Let Yi Zheng hand over the treasury of the two provinces, which included all the mining, fishing, docks, markets, communications, and the long trade route from the Eastern Great Wilderness Caohai to the Helen Province. Now the Chaoge Army is a property that can't be collected even if he sits. Will he be willing to hand it over?

Suppose, he agrees. Then handing it over is equivalent to the royal family taking over. The simplest examples, can the royal family collect protection fees from the gangsters and underground forces in two provinces? Can the royal family set up toll booths on the main roads like the Song Army, and the tax on goods? Will the royal family collude with the East Great Wilderness Grass Sea for smuggling? Chao Gejun can say that this Yangtze River is under our jurisdiction, and all fishermen need to seize 30% of the day's harvest.

There is also the sea of grass in the East Great Wilderness. We all know that the Far Eastern Empire and the nomads are incompatible, but the Chaoge Army is able to do business with the nomads. The most powerful and mouth-watering thing about the nomads is a large number of war horses. Even the Emperor of the Great Wind was about to reach out and snatch the war horse. These horses are exactly what we lack.

In the name of the Asaga, we can throw a large number of war horses into our battlefield. This matter can only be done in the name of the Chaoge Army, if it is done in the name of the imperial family, what will the other neighboring countries think of us? Once there is a war, put everything aside? The royal family is an imperial law that has not interacted with the homeless in the past dynasties, and if we go to buy war horses from the homeless at this time, doesn't it mean that the royal family will touch the dark for themselves?

There are so many things that the royal family can't do, and neither can other military departments. Only the Asagaku Army can do it. Because everyone regards the Chaoge Army as the biggest gangster force, and at the same time regards the Chaoge Army as a heroic army. They are accepting in disguise. However, once the royal family collects taxes, they have to collect 30% of the fishermen's fruits on the same day, and there is no need to wait for the next day, and there will be a riot that night. It's messed up.

I can't imagine any kind of magic that Yi Zhengqi could make the two provinces willing to be sucked by his blood, and in these two provinces, the commoners only know the Chaoge Army, and there is no royal family at all. As long as the Yi Zheng is removed, then all these possessions can be quickly taken over. We have a strong capital and can counterattack in a big way.

At the same time, because it was collected in the name of the Song Army. In the end, we recovered the Far Eastern Empire, and we didn't have to clean up the mess of the two provinces at all. All of this was provoked by the Chaoge Army, so it's good that our royal family doesn't settle accounts with the civilians of these two provinces. Your Highness, don't you know the choice at this moment? ”

The eldest prince was tired all over, and said in a deep voice: "You told me before that Yi Zhengqi is a genius that has not been encountered in a thousand years, as long as there is Yi Zhengqi and Yi Zhengqi is reused, you can keep the extreme east undefeated." Why are you still insisting that I kill him? Are you jealous of his talents? ”

Unmoved, Lionheart said, "I am willing to give up all power in order to show my sincerity. Yi Zhengqi's value is too great, and sacrificing him now can unite the Far Eastern Empire, let the royal family continue, and let us all defend against the beast soldiers together.

The Heavenly Prison Bloody Case, the Imperial Majesty, the Imperial Branch Rebellion, the strength of the Second Snow Division, the unification of the An'ou and Shangrou War Zones, and the huge amount of property and funds used as military expenses, Your Highness, these are too many to count, as long as we kill one of Yi Zheng, we will be able to obtain them. It's not a win-win, it's a win-win, one-hundred-pronged, and there is no harm. It is the best way to solve the problem in front of you. ”

The eldest prince said: "Who said that there is no harm? In this way, Yi Zheng will be ruined. ”

"If you keep it and recruit it, it will be to ruin the entire Far Eastern Empire. Just killing him alone can be exchanged for a bright future. We will all silently remember Yi Zhengqi's dedication, blame only his bad fate, and he is cleverly combined with too many things. Let him bear the infamy alone, kill him alone, and save everyone in the world. ”

The eldest prince stood up and walked all the way to the window, looking to the east, where it was still dark, but it would not be long before it would glow slightly and rise with a rising sun. He said slowly, word by word: "For the sake of the Far Eastern Empire, for the sake of the imperial family, for the sake of everything, Yi Zhengqi, I'm sorry for you." ”

The eldest prince's expression slowly became cold, and he ordered: "Lionheart listens to the order-"

"The lower official is here!" Lionheart's heart skipped a beat and she fell to her knees again.

"You plan well, as soon as Mu Anchen arrives with his troops, it will be the time for us to act. Always be careful. The order of the eldest prince did not mention Yi Zhengqi at all, but both of them understood it in their hearts. As long as Mu Anchen arrives, the overall situation has been decided. Then it's time for Yi Zheng to sacrifice.

"Yesβ€”" Lionheart replied loudly.

Lionheart waited in a daze, and after a long time, he didn't see the eldest prince speak. He raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any other orders?" ”

The eldest prince waved his hand and said, "My father once told me that those who say big things are not informal. As a prince, the future Kayun XVII, I should be iron-blooded and selfless, and I don't talk about any feelings. I even dared to kill my imperial uncle, I scared the imperial brother to flee to Beidian, and scared the imperial sister like a stranger. My imperial sister is right, I will not be a benevolent monarch, nor will I be a tyrant. I'm so tired, you can go back. ”

Lionheart stopped talking, sighed at last, gave a military salute, turned around, and strode out resolutely.
