Facing Lu Yong, Guo Jia was like seeing his own nephew, and he had the feeling of licking the calf.

One is the first fierce general of the Celestial Empire, the other is the first wise man of the Celestial Empire, and they are both first-class masters, so natural intersection is indispensable, and Lu Yong is naturally treated as a son.

"Thank you Lord Guo for your concern, Yong will not lose his father's face, nor will he lose the face of the Heavenly Empire." Lu Yong replied in a macro voice.

"Okay." This time, Guo Jialian said two good words before he moved his gaze lightly and fell on the second prince Zhang Xing.

"Hehe, Lord Guo, you don't have to be sensational, Xing knows how to do it." Zhang Xing smiled and shrugged his shoulders, deliberately pretending to be relaxed.

But the more Zhang Xing said this, the more Guo Jia felt heavy. It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and Guo Jia didn't know it deeply before, but now he really has to change his mind.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how dangerous it is to go deep into the inner realm of the Western Regions to carry out a mission this time. It is said that the Celestial Empire is like a cloud, and such a thing does not require the prince to take risks at all, but Zhang Chao still let Zhang Xing go on a mission, does this mean that he doesn't trust others?

It's completely wrong, it is precisely because I believe that Zhang Xing is Zhang Chao's son that I have to do this. Think about it, even the crown prince Zhang Tian was surrounded by a lot, and when this matter came out, there must have been chaos in Jinyang City, and Cai Yan, as the queen, washed his face with tears all day long, and Mr. Cai Yong and his students also showed dissatisfaction because of this incident.

It is said that the family and everything is prosperous, and whether the royal family is united and stable has a great impact on the army and legions fighting in front. Even if Zhang Chao is extremely influential, there are times when the whip is beyond his reach, and sending Zhang Xing out to carry out a dangerous mission at this moment is the best way to deal with the uneasiness and restlessness of suppressing the imperial capital Jinyang City.

Let's see, this time it's not just the prince who is dangerous, but the second prince Zhang Xing has also been sent out to carry out a dangerous mission, so who else will say that Zhang Chao wants to abolish Zhang Tian and establish Zhang Xing at this time? This is the real reason why Zhang Chao sent Zhang Xing to fight.

Guo Jia has the title of the first wise man, so he can naturally see this. It's not just him, even Zhang Xing is afraid to see it.

But whether it is seen or not, in short, Zhang Xing is destined to be wronged this time, which is also the real reason why Guo Jia can't bear it and insists on coming here before the war. You must know that the minister has a private meeting with the prince, not the prince, and he is still an important minister, but if this matter is to be spread, it will be true. But he still came, just because he couldn't go psychologically.

To be honest, over the years, Zhang Xing's performance has been seen by everyone.

If Zhang Tian is the crown prince, it is still expected that Zhang Tian's performance will be better. But Zhang Xing, as the second prince, was also so desperate, and even relied on himself, and became the teacher at a young age, which was even more unexpected.

I have to admit that the tiger father has no dog son, Zhang Chao is so strong, and his sons are more powerful than the other. But it was precisely because he performed so well that it caused some courtiers to discuss.

If it is the son of someone else's family who has such an excellent expression, then needless to say, the father must be happy, but it happened in the royal family, then it should be another matter.

No matter how many sons the royal family has, only one person can inherit the throne in the end. If only the crown prince behaves well, there will naturally be no objection to this matter, but the second prince also performs so well, which will inevitably arouse some people's suspicions.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this sentence also applies to the situation of the Celestial Empire.

Even though Zhang Chao has incomparable cohesion and deterrence, this does not prevent the people below from talking about it. In addition, the Celestial Empire is blindly following the road of expansion, and now everyone in the DPRK and China is harmonious on the surface, but secretly, several forces have already coexisted.

Because of the different ideas, many people naturally need to find one of the like-minded, which invisibly forms some small forces. It can't even be said that it is a small force, and the influence of some forces is still hidden, except for Zhang Chao, these forces don't look at other people's eyes at all.

And among these forces, some people are very optimistic about the second prince Zhang Xing, they believe that the Celestial Empire will immediately take over the world, even if this is the case, the future emperor of the Celestial Empire should also be a fierce general. And from this point of view alone, Zhang Tian seems to be weaker than Zhang Xing.

Guo Jia has heard some rumors about these things, he doesn't believe that the emperor Zhang Chao will not know, but he has never said anything about this matter, and even some people who support Zhang Xing, he has never reprimanded or warned or anything.

In this way, it will inevitably make some people think that Zhang Chao intends to support his second son to ascend to the throne? It was only because of the saying that Zhang Xing had to be promoted to the throne first.

Even Guo Jia was puzzled about this, and he couldn't guess what Zhang Chao meant. But as soon as today's incident came out, he finally knew Zhang Chao's true thoughts. He never wanted to make Zhang Xing the crown prince, and other people's suspicions were just suspicions. Otherwise, he would not have let his second son Zhang Xing take risks when his eldest son was in danger.

Zhang Chao told everyone with practical actions that he had no intention of abolishing Zhang Tian, which proves nothing more than any statement. But in this way, the most disappointed person is Zhang Xing, I believe he also saw his father's intention through today's events, and he must be a little disappointed in his heart.

Guo Jia came here to comfort Zhang Xing. To tell the truth, although he appreciates Zhang Xing's outstanding performance all the time, he is still very supportive of the theory of establishing a long son. This is an idea that has been passed down for many years, but it can be changed if it is not changed.

But if you don't support Zhang Xing, it doesn't mean that you don't support Zhang Xing, so Guo Jia still came. When he looked at Zhang Xing, tears even overflowed in his eyes, "Second prince, your performance has always pleased the emperor and made the old ministers admire, I hope that this time you can return safely and make new contributions." ”

"Master Guo, Xinghui, thank you for your concern. In addition, when I can't come back this time, please tell my mother that I have always been proud to have such a father and mother, and I will never regret being their son. As he spoke, tears flowed out of the corners of Zhang Xing's eyes.

Zhang Xing's mother is Bai Tong, the concubine of Degui, who is the earliest woman Zhang Chao knows, and also controls the friendship of Skynet. Therefore, there are many intersections with Guo Jia in his work. Now that he is a little entrusted to Guo Jia, he is naturally an extremely suitable candidate.

"The second prince said with a smile, you have your own blessing, and there will be no problems. The old minister is waiting for your safe return. Guo Jia really didn't know what he was talking about, he even had the idea of turning his head and running away, facing Zhang Xing, he felt that he owed too much, not to mention the emperor Zhang Chao.

Not to mention what Guo Jia wanted to say and what else he would say, in the imperial tent, Xu Chu came to report, saying that after Lord Guo went to the military tent of the second prince, Zhang Chao stood there with a blank expression and was stunned for a while.

It is said that since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, and originally he thought that this was just an excuse, a way to say it.

But when I really got to this position, I realized that everything was true. Between the trade-offs, people are really hesitant and hesitant.

The eldest son, Zhang Tian, has performed well, he has known etiquette since he was a child, and he is filial piety and humility, such a person is naturally the best candidate for the future emperor.

But the second son Zhang Xing is also good, brave in battle, active in brain, humble and generous, if the Celestial Empire is handed over to such a person, I believe it can also be glorious.

But here's the problem, if it's just one of the two, it's a good thing. But when both of them are occupied, how to choose is a headache.

Now Zhang Tian is surrounded and in danger. Maybe it is the opportunity for Zhang Xing to rise, and if he is replaced by other emperors, he may be able to obey the mandate of heaven and follow the will of heaven. But Zhang Chao didn't, what he chose was to put the two sons of hope outside, he wanted to see who could take the opportunity to really rise.

This is naturally dangerous, if there is a crisis between the two of them, I am afraid that Zhang Chao will not have a suitable successor for a while, but fortunately, he is still young, and other sons are also growing up, he can also wait. But what he hopes more is that through this Xian Li, both sons can grow up quickly.

What kind of ending will it be, Zhang Chao himself doesn't know, history has already changed, and there are not many things he can predict. In this case, just leave everything in their own hands, and become kings and queens depends entirely on their own ability and luck.

Shaking his head, he put his son's matter aside first, and then Zhang Chao stared at the huge Western Regions sand table in the tent, and said in a voice that only he could hear, "Western Regions Alliance, this time you take the initiative to provoke, even if this is the case, I will not let you go, if I lose something because of this, you should repay it a hundred times!" ”

No one knows that Zhang Chao is so ruthless, even if he knows, I'm afraid that no one will take it seriously. Because of the current situation in the Western Regions, the Celestial Empire is indeed at an extremely dangerous disadvantage.

Outside the city of Jiaohe in the country of Cheshi, under the fierce attack of the four coalition armies, the army of the Celestial Empire on the periphery of the city has been basically swept away, although the price paid by the Western Regions is not small, but the victory seems to be in sight, only need to fight for three or two months, Jiaohe City will be broken, at that time, the army of the Celestial Empire can be kept away from the Western Regions, without internal troubles, the Celestial Empire will be much more difficult if it wants to invade the Western Regions.
