The eyes of all the princes fell on the six princes in unison.

During this period of time, the news from the Huangzhuang made all the princes jealous and hateful, and they wanted to replace them. As soon as the six princes returned to the palace today, they all sulked.

didn't think about it, before they could provoke and find fault, the six princes were given a cold reception......

What's going on?

Didn't Emperor Xuanhe favor the Six Princes very much? How could he suddenly embarrass the six princes in front of everyone?

Under the scorching gaze of the princes, the faces of the six princes were still calm, and they withdrew from the hall after receiving the order.

The night was low and the sky was full of stars.

The palace lamp shimmered softly, illuminating the path underfoot.

The six princes did not stop, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their steps even became brisk.

His father was angry and snubbed him in front of everyone. This is exactly what he wants. The brothers won't be staring at him all the time.

……

As soon as the six princes left, several princes had no time to think about it, and immediately entered the main hall by order.

Emperor Xuanhe had already carefully inquired about the war, and at this time he was looking down at the latest battle report sent today.

This time, the Tatars tore up the truce and sent troops on a large scale, breaking through three border cities, burning, killing and looting, killing hundreds of people and destroying their families. The border army suffered heavy casualties, and several mid-ranking generals died.

The Duke of Ping Guo personally wrote a memo, asking the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements, and as for the cost of grain, grass, heavy weapons, and military salaries, it was a very staggering figure.

The officials of the household department and the military department have been eager to eat and sleep in the yamen for the past two days. Especially up and down the household, one by one, the hair fell straight out. Liang Shangshu of the household department has not slept for two days in a row.

After all the princes entered the palace, they bowed their hands together: "The son has seen his father. ”

Emperor Xuanhe raised his head and said casually: "Don't be polite." ”

Emperor Xuanhe was not in the mood to chat with the princes, so he opened his mouth and asked the eldest prince: "You have been on an errand in the military department." In your opinion, who should be sent to lead the reinforcements? ”

The eldest prince had obviously thought about this issue for a long time, and said: "The Duke of Weiguo and the Duke of Jingguo are old, and the four marquis are all in their prime. Pingxi Hou is brave and good at fighting, and the prince of Heping is Uncle Lang. It stands to reason that Pingxi Hou led the reinforcements to the most suitable. However, last year, there was a rebellion in Ludi, and the Hou of Pingxi fought unfavorably for a long time, and later it was Jinning Hou who led the reinforcements to quell the rebellion in Ludi. This time the border army was in an emergency, and Erchen thought that it would be more appropriate for Jin Ning to wait. ”

The military generals will stand up for their military exploits. Every time there is a war, it is the time for the military generals of the DPRK and China to shine.

Jin Ninghou is the uncle of the eldest prince, and it is natural for the eldest prince to recommend Jin Ninghou.

However, when Pingxi Hou heard the words of the eldest prince, his nose was almost crooked. Good you big prince! If you want to hold Jin Ning and wait with you, it would be too unauthentic to step on me by the way!

Pingxi Hou couldn't swallow this sullen breath, and took a step forward and said, "The last general is willing to lead the troops to the border pass for reinforcements." If you don't make an inch, the end will be at the disposal of the emperor, and there will be no complaints! ”

The eldest prince tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his tone revealed a hint of ridicule: "It's a matter of border stability, and there must be no mistakes." Once the military situation is delayed and the country is unstable, can Pingxihou afford such a heavy responsibility? ”

Pingxi Hou had an upright temperament, and was so angry by these words that he replied stiffly: "The generals lead the troops to fight, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one dares to assert a steady victory." According to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, can Jin Ning wait to lead the troops to ensure that nothing goes wrong? If you lose the battle, shouldn't you cut off your head? ”

Jin Ninghou was caught in the middle, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and said: "What Pingxi Hou said also has some truth. His Royal Highness the Great Prince raised his love, and the last general was grateful. However, no one dares to say that they are very sure of the war, so they can only do their best! ”

Emperor Xuanhe didn't say a word, and asked the second prince: "Who do you think is appropriate?" ”

As expected, the second prince recommended Yong'an Hou: "Yong'an Hou is loyal and never makes mistakes when he is on errands." Erchen recommended that the Marquis of Yong'an lead the troops to the border army for reinforcements. ”

The four princes followed closely with the eldest prince and recommended Jin Ninghou. The fifth prince recommended the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

The Duke of Weiguo is already old, and most of his sons, nephews, and descendants are in the army, and there is no shortage of outstanding people. However, compared with Pingxihou and others who were in their prime, they were far behind.

The military attaches great importance to military exploits as well as seniority. The only people in the court who are qualified to lead troops to the border pass for reinforcements are the four marquis.

The princes all have their own selfishness and try their best to recommend their uncles. The foreign family is powerful, and the princes naturally have countless benefits. The harem is related to the court, and it has always been like this.

Emperor Xuanhe didn't put anger on his face, but he sneered in his heart. The words of the six princes suddenly flashed in his mind.

The strife in the palace is surging, all because of the position of the prince......

The East Palace will be established as soon as possible, and the people will naturally be stable......

Emperor Xuanhe said lightly: "I will consider this matter and discuss it again tomorrow." It's getting late today, so get out of here! ”

Wei Guogong and the others responded respectfully and quickly retreated.

The princes refused to leave, especially the eldest prince, who said with a sincere look of admiration: "My father has been away from the palace for a few months, and my sons have been thinking about my father in their hearts. Let Erchen stay tonight and talk to his father! ”

The second prince also has a filial piety and sincerity: "The son also wants to be by his father's side." ”

The four princes and the five princes were not far behind, and scrambled to say: "The sons are also willing to stay." ”

The filial piety of the sons, how much truth and how much falsehood is there?

Emperor Xuanhe's gaze swept over the faces of the princes, and he thought of the six princes in his heart.

When he couldn't stay in his illness, the six princes sat beside him obediently and read softly to relieve his boredom. Serve him daily with medicinal food. When he was able to stay and walk around, the six princes helped him walk around the bedroom.

Compared with the six princes who were clear and sincere, the filial piety shown by several older princes suddenly seemed vain.

People's hearts are partial.

In the past, Emperor Xuanhe loved the eldest prince the most, and it was good to see the eldest prince in everything. Now, Emperor Xuanhe's heart has been biased towards the six princes. The outspokenness of the six princes today really annoyed Emperor Xuanhe.

However, as soon as the anger passed, Emperor Xuanhe guessed the true intentions of the six princes. simply cooperated once, deliberately showing the snub to the six princes.

Then, the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince, thinking that they had a chance to take their place, didn't they scramble to perform?

"I know the filial piety of several of you." Emperor Xuanhe said lightly: "However, I am tired today, so I have to rest early." Stand down, too! ”

As soon as Emperor Xuanhe sank his face, all the princes were silent, and obediently took the order to retreat.

Emperor Xuanhe pressed his waist and abdomen with his hand, and frowned: "Xuancheng Imperial Doctor Du Ti came here." ”
