Chapter 26: The Temple Crisis

"Lord Xie, if we rush to send troops, we don't have much chance of winning!" Xiahou Yong was a little helpless.

"Master Hou, didn't the battle report you uploaded say that you took three thousand iron cavalry to defeat two thousand Huns? He also beheaded more than a thousand, how can he say this now? Xie Xian was visibly angry.

"Lord Xie, it's true that I defeated two thousand Huns, but you don't know that the three thousand soldiers I led were carefully selected from the 200,000 troops of my Tiger Ben Army, with complete armor and well-equipped, those two thousand Huns are just a small tribe's cavalry, not to mention armor, most of them don't even have decent clothes, and their weapons only have short knives, just like that, I also lost hundreds of people, and the combat power of the Huns cannot be underestimated!" Xiahou Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xie Xian, who had always been calm, was a little incredulous, "The Huns are so strong? ”

"The words of the last general are true. If we rush into battle, the odds of victory are not in 10%, and it is the best policy to defend the pass! ”

Hearing this, Xie Xian was instantly lost, but then asked, "In your opinion, how are the Turks compared to the Huns?" ”

"Only strong, not weak!" Xiahou Yong's words made a trace of despair flash in Xie Xian's heart.

"Does the heavens want to destroy my great flowers?" Xie Xian's eyes were hollow.

"Why did Lord Xie say this? What's wrong? Xiahou Yong was a little puzzled.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Xie Xian, Zhou Tai, and their descendants were all unswerving imperial parties, and Xiahou Yong was also Zhou Tai's confidant, so Xie Xian was also at ease with him.

"The one in the south is not willing to be lonely!" Xie Xian said expressionlessly.

"What, he still doesn't give up?" Xiahou Yong was incredulous.

Xie Xian smiled disdainfully, "When did he die, for so many years, he has been coveting this position, but he is afraid that the Shandong Rebellion will have nothing to do with him, and now he has found that he has close contact with the Turks." ”

Xiahou Yong was completely shocked, "This, how is this possible?" He is also a dragon son and grandson, how can he hook up with the Turkic barbarians, isn't this ruining his own country? ”

"What can't a person like him do for the throne? The emperor's body is not as good as a year, since the prince fell from a horse and died, the two princes and the third prince have been fighting openly and secretly in the palace. **If it weren't for the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it would have been chaotic a long time ago. If the emperor can't clean up these messes, once he has any accidents, who of the two princes has the ability to reign in the world? When the time comes, once it is not handled well, my Dahua will have the disaster of destroying the country! Xie Xian couldn't help but tremble when he said that he was at the end, and he was obviously very worried.

Xiahou Yong bowed his head and was silent, his heart was naturally surging, and now His Majesty trusted him and let him guard the Jade Gate, but once His Majesty left, could the new monarch still trust him like this? He has a heavy army, and he will definitely be suspicious, and the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe when the time comes, and there are countless examples of this in history.

"It seems that the day the new emperor ascends the throne, I'm afraid it will be the time for us old ministers to go down to serve the emperor!" Xiahou Yong looked up to the sky and sighed.

"The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, if a death can save the family, why should I Xie Xian be afraid of it!" Xie Xian has a bit of integrity.

"The emperor didn't discipline the two princes?" Xiahou Yong is a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the education of the emperor's family should not be bad. How did you teach these two ungrateful princes?

"It's just that the prince is too virtuous!" Xie Xian was always full of regret when he mentioned the crown prince.

"Is the prince really that good?" Li Mingyuan, who had been unable to interject, finally spoke.

Xie Xian smiled bitterly, "Prince Wencai is not under your Mingyuan, he is generous and benevolent, uninhibited, he is a rare king of Zhongxing, but it is a pity that he is jealous of his talents and died prematurely!" Otherwise, how could Dahua do this! ”

Xiahou Yong also nodded in agreement, "Prince Yunwen Yunwu, if he governs the world, I am afraid that he will never become the second Martial Emperor in ten years!" "Xiahou Yong is naturally referring to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty during the Han Empire.

Hearing what the two of them said, Li Mingyuan also understood that the prince was so good, so the other two sons were naturally a sheep-herding education, after all, there was only one son of heaven, and it was not a good thing that several princes were excellent. It's a pity that the prince's early death has broken all plans.

"Princess An Ning is very favored by His Majesty!" Just when the three of them were silent, Xie Xian suddenly spoke.

"So what, no matter how pampered, the princess is also a daughter!" Xiahou Yong was very discouraged.

Xie Xian glanced at Li Mingyuan, and then said, "Your Majesty is not a pedantic person, as long as it is his bloodline, it doesn't matter who inherits the throne!" ”

"You mean?" Xiahou Yong seemed to understand something.

"Master Hou is cautious, cautious!" Xie Xian shook his head and motioned for Xiahou Yong not to make a noise, after all, it was a bit too early to talk about this.

Originally, Xie Xian wanted to discuss with Xiahou Yong about going out to crusade against the Huns, when today's son is still a saint, the previous emperors are all arrogant and lascivious, so happy people, will be a strong Dahua is to play all over the field. The people are struggling to make a living.

After the Son of Heaven succeeded to the throne, he worked hard, and after decades of recuperation, he has basically recovered his vitality, but there is still a gap compared with his heyday. Originally, the emperor wanted to lay a foundation for his son, but now it seems that it will not work, if two princes are allowed to succeed to the throne, no matter how powerful the country is, it will still be able to play. It's better to solve it yourself while you have a breath, so that the new monarch has no worries, but how can you be in a hurry when governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh? So Xie Xian didn't plan to continue, and he would explain to the emperor after he went back.

"Mingyuan is not young anymore? Which girl did you like? If you have one, I will ask Master Hou to give you a dowry! Xie Xian turned the topic to Li Mingyuan and said with a concerned face.

Li Mingyuan, who had been in a daze, came back to his senses and said casually, "Yes!" ”

"Ah, which one?" Xie Xian said excitedly.

Seeing Xie Xian's fuss, Li Mingyuan was very puzzled, who he likes has nothing to do with you, why are you so excited? But thinking about it, of course he can't say it, after all, he has a crush on the daughter of the big boss, and he can't say it until he has a good relationship.

"It doesn't matter, because I'm not going to marry now!" Li Mingyuan said righteously.

"Oh, why is that?" Xie Xian was a little puzzled.

"The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be home!" Li Mingyuan was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

"Well, Mingyuan has good ambitions, but you're not afraid that the person you want will be snatched away?" Xie Xian knocked on the side.

"Don't be afraid, no one can snatch him!" Li Mingyuan was arrogant, joking, he couldn't cherish it in his previous life, he regretted it before he died, and he had to marry her in this life.

Li Mingyuan has such an attitude, Xie Xian is relieved, as long as he doesn't get married for a day, he still has a chance, and when he returns to the capital, he will definitely find a way to transfer him to the capital, and then he will find a way to match, and good things will come true.
