As soon as the good news of Caozhou reached the monarchy, it shocked the people of King's Landing and the Great Yan court.

Because Ji Qingchen only used more than 200,000 troops to completely annihilate the more than 200,000 elite cavalry of Mo Dahan, the king of the Great Khan of Beirong, and captured Mo Dahan, the king of the Great Khan of Beirong. This is the only brilliant result that Dayan has achieved against Beirong since the rapid growth of Beirong!

When the good news reached King's Landing, Emperor Yan was in the Liangyi Palace with the ministers in the early dynasty, he heard that Ji Qingchen defeated 200,000 Beirong elite cavalry, and also captured the Beirong Khan King Mo Dahan, and captured 130,000 Beirong soldiers, he was still on the dragon chair at that time He was also excited and couldn't help himself, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

Because ordinary people may think that Ji Qingchen's victory is the key to Dayan's victory over Beirong, if it is imperative to destroy more than 200,000 elite horsemen of Mo Dahan and defeat Beirong, then Emperor Yan knows more about the significance behind this battle.

The defeat of more than 200,000 elite cavalry in this battle not only affected the future battle situation of Dayan against Beirong, but also affected the battle situation of Dayan against the Lingnan Yi tribe and Xishu, and even the battle situation of leaving the country. It is conceivable that when the Lingnan people besieging Yizhou City heard that Dayan had annihilated more than 200,000 elite cavalry in the First Battle of Beirong, what would they do, and when the news reached Xishu and Liguo, I am afraid that the tough attitude of the two countries towards Dayan would also change, right?

Emperor Yan, who was overjoyed, smiled heartily, and said to the ministers, "The battle of Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, can be said to have laid the foundation for Dayan to win against Beirong in the future. You say, Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, and the soldiers in front of him have made such great contributions, how should I reward them? ”

Emperor Yan knew very well that meritorious service should be rewarded, and if such a big victory was not rewarded, it would definitely chill the hearts of the generals and soldiers in front.

As soon as Emperor Yan asked, everyone in the hall fell silent all of a sudden.

Because in the main hall, except for Ye Qingzhi and Ye Qingchen and other very few people, the rest of the ministers are not Ji Qingchen's people, and the people they support are the second prince Ji Ping, the third prince Ji Hongchang, the fourth prince Ji Wen and the eighth prince Ji Qian, etc., they are very reluctant to see Ji Qingchen receive the reward of Emperor Yan again, because Ji Qingchen's current official position is already big enough, the king of Northern Liao, the governor of Northern Liao, the Privy Council, etc., if he is rewarded again, with his military exploits, won't he have to live in the East Palace? But now that Ji Qingchen has made such a great feat, Emperor Yan wants to reward Ji Qingchen, which is reasonable, they are not easy to stop, so they can only deal with it in silence, because Ji Qingchen's merit is too great, even if they want to stop it, they don't dare! for fear of provoking the wrath of the people!

As for Ye Qingzhi and Ye Qingchen, because Ji Qingchen is their nephew, it is inconvenient for them to speak for their nephew.

As soon as Emperor Yan's words were spoken, the ministers collectively closed their voices and fell silent.

And Emperor Yan also sat on the high dragon chair, looking at the ministers indifferently and sneering, because he knew what the ministers were thinking, because he knew that everyone didn't want Ji Qingchen to get another reward, because if Ji Qingchen's power increased by one point, the strength of the princes they supported would be weakened by one point, and their political future would be bleak.

Silent!

There was a long silence in the hall!

The atmosphere suddenly seemed very depressing!

And at this moment, Bai Jin, who was ranked first among the generals, couldn't help it, he came out and said, "Your Majesty, the king of Northern Liao and the Northern Liao army won the battle, annihilated 200,000 elite cavalry of Beirong in a battle, captured 130,000 Beirong soldiers, and captured the king of Beirong Khan. But now Meng Buge is still raging in the northern capital, Haoge is still entrenched in Shangzhou, our war with Beirong has not completely ended, Lao Chen thinks that at this time, it is the best policy to let the Northern Liao army drive Meng Buge and Haoge out of Dayan, as for the reward, it is not too late to reward Meng Buge and Haoge after defeating them. ”

"The old minister thinks so too." Prime Minister Pei Wenju came out and said, "It's just that even if we win the first battle, we shouldn't reward them, but we still have to send envoys to Caozhou to reward the three armies." ”

"The old minister agrees with the opinion of the privy envoy and the prime minister." Wang You, the secretary of the ministry, said.

"The minister agrees with the Privy Council and the Prime Minister." The military department Shangshu Liu Pingyuan said.

"Wechen agrees with the Privy Envoy and the Prime Minister." The imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Cha Shenxing, came out and said.

……

With Bai Jin's foreshadowing, Pei Wenju's suggestion, and the strong support of Wang You and Liu Pingyuan, the ministers immediately followed behind several people to admonish Emperor Yan one after another, and everyone agreed with Pei Wenju's opinion, and did not reward Ji Qingchen and the Northern Liao army for the time being, but could send envoys to reward the three armies.

When Emperor Yan saw this scene, he knew that what he had just said touched the interests of everyone in the hall, so he no longer insisted on his own point of view, but nodded slightly, agreeing with Pei Wenju's suggestion, and then he discussed with the ministers again, and asked Ye Qingchen to go to Caozhou to reward the three armies on behalf of the imperial court.

After the end of the early dynasty, the ministers left the Liangyi Palace, and the princes who supported each other were the main ones, and they organized and converged to discuss the countermeasures to suppress Ji Qingchen.

Because today's Emperor Yan of the Early Dynasty wanted to reward Ji Qingchen when he heard the good news from Caozhou, through this they determined how important Ji Qingchen's position in Emperor Yan's heart was, and Ji Qingchen's military exploits also made them afraid of Ji Qingchen, because they realized a problem that was enough for them not to ignore, that is, with Ji Qingchen's current ability and strength, if he was allowed to fight a few more battles, it was estimated that with his military exploits, it would be enough to defeat the princes and stay in the East Palace.

Among them, the most frequent activities are none other than Wang You's father and son, who support the second prince Ji Ping, and Cha Shenxing, who supports the eighth prince Ji Qian. In addition to discussing their own countermeasures, the two parties have also been running in many ways in the past few days, trying to unite the strength of the princes in King's Landing, and everyone will deal with the growing Ji Qingchen together.

Because the First World War established the battle situation of Dayan against Beirong, everyone unanimously targeted Ji Qingchen, which Ji Qingchen never expected.

However, because there is competition between the princes, and the parties are very conflicted because of each other's fighting, although there are the efforts of Wang You's father and son and Cha Shenxing, the strategy of uniting everyone's strength to deal with Ji Qingchen has little effect.

This is a blessing in misfortune for Ji Qingchen!

……

"Father, what should we do now? You can't just watch the Nine Emperor Princes walk into the East Palace step by step! In Wang You's study of the Ministry of Shangshu, Wang Wenhe thought about his father and said, his tone was gloomy, and he was obviously very resentful of Ji Qingchen.

"With the brilliant results of this battle, the following Nine Emperor Princes want to lead the remaining Northern Liao army to defeat Beirong, this is already a fact that cannot be changed, and the war between Dayan and Beirong is related to the life and death of Dayan, if we interfere in it and annoy Your Majesty, it will not be beneficial to our Wang family." Wang You said lightly, "However, the contradiction between us and Ji Qingchen now is also the contradiction between the third prince Ji Hongchang, the fourth prince Ji Wen and the eighth prince Ji Qian and Ji Qingchen. ”

"What do you mean, Father?" Wang Wenhe asked as if he didn't understand.

"Now the Nine Emperor Princes Ji Qingchen is deeply favored by His Majesty, in this case, we can't be arrogant to think that only our strength can prevent Ji Qingchen from entering the East Palace, this is unrealistic, the only way is to unite the power of the princes to deal with the Nine Emperor Princes Ji Qingchen was crowned the crown prince, and we all work together to prevent him from entering the East Palace." Wang You said gloomily.

"But father, you have also seen that we have not made efforts in this area in the past few days, but with little success!" Wang Wenhe sighed and said, when it came to the fact that in the past few days, when their father and son and Cha Shenxing lobbied the princes to deal with Ji Qingchen together, even Wang Wenhe, who has always been very conceited about his talents, was a little helpless.

"Since you can't come openly, you can only use stratagem!" Wang You said with a gloomy smile.

"Scheme?" Wang Wenhe was reminded by Wang Youyi, and immediately understood the meaning of Wang You's words, and couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that my father already has a countermeasure in his heart?" ”

"Hehe, our king of Northern Liao is excellent in commanding troops and fighting, but he lacks it in other aspects, especially the intricate relationship he left when he left the country as a hostage, which is not difficult for the old man to come up with a plan to deal with him." Wang You said with a yin smile, "My father got the news that the secret agent who left the country has arrived in King's Landing City, is a woman named Jiang Rou, I heard that she is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Xiao, when Ji Qingchen left the country as a hostage, the Empress Dowager Xiao had a grudge, and the military god of the country has just passed away from Li Qingyi, and the new monarch has lost the most relied on military generals, which has greatly increased the power of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and without the support of Li Qingyi, it is probably impossible for the new monarch to protect Ji Qingchen as before, and at this time, this name Jiang Rou suddenly sneaked into King's Landing City, There must be some secret mission, and I guess for my father that this mission may be related to the Nine Emperor Son Ji Qingchen. ”

"What my father means is that you want me to send someone to contact this woman named Jiang Rou to see if I can use the hands of the people who have left the country to stir up the relationship between the princes and Ji Qingchen, so that they will become mortal enemies, and force us to cooperate with us to deal with the Nine Emperor Princes Ji Qingchen?" Wang Wenhe said understandingly.

"It's better to use your strength than to contribute yourself!" Wang You said, "This is the only way to protect yourself!" ”

"Don't worry, father, I understand, then I'll do this?" Wang Wenhe asked, he saw that there was a plan to deal with Ji Qingchen, so he suddenly came to his senses, and immediately asked Wang You excitedly for his life.

"Yes, go ahead!" Wang You said, "However, you have to pay attention to secrecy, even if Ji Qingchen's heat is in Caozhou, but he left two secret guards in King's Landing City, after a year of development, coupled with the efforts of Guo Quan and Zhang Rang, the strength of these two secret guards has now become very strong, we can't underestimate them." ”

"Yes." Wang Wenhe received the order and strode out of the study.
