Chapter 193: Fighting for People's Hearts
"Never!" Qin Shangzhi arched his hand to the crown prince, "Your Highness, burn and surrender the prisoners...... The nations are already dissatisfied with His Highness, and if His Highness asks His Majesty to behead General Bai again, the nations will definitely feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to pass the buck, so they will put all the blame on a woman! โ
The prince nodded imperceptibly, his eyes thoughtful.
"Again...... General Bai and the Jin army fought together in blood, and His Highness will also chill the hearts of the soldiers if he does this! In this way, His Highness will become not a human inside and out, Fang Lao pondered whether this is the truth! โ
Qin Shangzhi knew the importance of Elder Fang to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so when he said this advice this time, Zhi Jie showed great respect for this Elder Fang, who he looked down on very much, and only hoped that the prince would listen to what he said...... can save Bai Qingyan's life, then the break is worth it.
Elder Fang glanced at Qin Shangzhi and touched his goat's whiskers, probably thinking that Qin Shangzhi, who had always been unbending, had actually learned to be soft, with a bit of contempt in his eyes, and said slowly: "What Mr. Qin said is also ...... There is some truth to that. โ
"There's a plan down there! The crown prince can ask His Majesty for General Bai's merits, and ask for the title of General Bai's merits in this battle...... And Ming issued a letter in the world, proving that General Bai burned and surrendered the prisoners because the 50,000 soldiers of our Jin army were worried that the prisoners in Xiliang would rebel! In this way, the nations will know that I am after the king of the town...... There is also the resourceful and resourceful Bai Qingyan, who is like a god, and General Bai guards it! Second, His Royal Highness can also get a reputation for employing people without suspicion! In the future, why worry that no one will follow His Royal Highness the Prince! Qin Shangzhi bowed his body to the ground against the crown prince, "The war generals of the country, the sharp weapons of the country, must be brave and ruthless, so as to deter the nations!" The prince of the country, the cornerstone of the country, must be virtuous, benevolent and righteous, in order to stabilize the country! Therefore, His Royal Highness should not fight for military merit, but for character, benevolence, and people's hearts! โ
Elder Fang narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about what Qin Shangzhi said......
Yes, His Royal Highness is already the crown prince, and it is not when the throne has not yet been established that military merits are needed to increase the weight of the prince. Look at Your Majesty's princes...... King Xin and King Liang are abolished, King Wei is just a five-year-old child and he is not very smart, and the one in Luo Guifei's belly does not know whether it is a man or a woman, and now the prince's position is stable.
And, although Elder Fang was reluctant to admit it...... But Qin Shangzhi's strategy is indeed good, instead of killing Bai Qingyan and admitting his mistakes to the countries, it is better to put all the credit on Bai Qingyan in this way, and then His Royal Highness will come forward to guarantee Bai Qingyan, and he will be able to take Bai Qingyan under his command, and so on...... Fame and fortune are gained, and you can get a brave and fierce loyalty.
"Your Highness, the old man thinks that Mr. Qin's law is ...... Feasible! Elder Fang said slowly.
Seeing that Elder Fang said this, the prince was very determined in his heart, although he was unwilling to get military merits, but if he could use this in exchange for the loyal followers of a general like Bai Qingyan, it would not be too much of a loss.
The prince nodded: "Lone also thinks that Mr. Qin is very right, Lone is the prince, not a general, and his military merits are useless...... It should win people's hearts! โ
Qin Shangzhi heard the prince say this, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, ...... Bai Qingyan's fortune has been saved, right?
ยท
Bai Qingyan led 30,000 Jin troops and 10,000 Bai family troops plus the Tiger Eagle Battalion to camp on the border of Xiliang.
Xiliangjun was afraid of the black sails and white python flags that were waving in the wind in the camp opposite, and Bai Qingyan was waiting for the news of her seventh brother, ninth brother and Shen Qingzhu, so she never acted rashly.
The crown prince planned to put all the crimes of military merit and burning and killing prisoners on Bai Qingyan, and to pick him up, Qin Shangzhi had already sent a letter to Bai Qingyan quickly.
Of course, the content of Qin Shangzhi's book, in order to avoid being seen by the prince's people, is from the perspective of the prince, explaining how the prince generously felt that he could not forcibly take her military exploits, and explained in detail how the prince trusted her and would try to ensure her innocence in front of the emperor.
This is the result of Qin Shangzhi's efforts to protect her life, she knows it in her heart, and she accepts Qin Shangzhi's favor.
Bai Jinzhi took the letter from her hand and read it at a glance, and was annoyed in his heart, and said, "This prince is so shameless!" If it weren't for the burning and killing of prisoners in the Wengshan Gorge, he would definitely have won the military merit! But now that's happening...... He shamelessly said that he couldn't forcibly occupy his eldest sister's military merits, obviously because he was afraid of taking the responsibility of burning and killing prisoners! โ
"What is there to be angry about?" She can see in her heart that the royal people have always been like this, is this kind of thing done less?
Although she Bai Qingyan is not a gentleman, she is not a villain who is untrustworthy, this battle of southern Xinjiang said that the military merits were given to the prince, she really wanted to give up the military merits to him, after all, she had exchanged the military merits for Bai Jinxiu's super first-class lady in advance.
Therefore, in the battle of Wengshan, she dared to burn and kill the prisoners, and she had countermeasures and statements to relieve the prince of responsibility after the burning and surrender of prisoners.
But...... Since the prince was so uncontrollable, she also took the prince's affection seriously, and thanked the prince for her life...... Show the so-called loyalty.
She stood on the bank of the Jing River, looking at the turbulent water that still had not frozen in the middle of winter, and her heart was full of the seventh and ninth brothers who might still be alive.
Not long after, Xiao Ruojiang suddenly rode towards the Jing River.
Xiao Ruojiang didn't wait for the horse to stop, so he jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and said, "Big girl! Miss Shen...... Just sent someone to send a message, saying that Liu Huanzhang sent someone to set up an ambush, and the seventh and ninth princes were intercepted halfway before they arrived in the capital of Xiliang, and she had found out that the two were injured and fled under the cover of the Bai family's army, but they were still nowhere to be found, and Miss Shen was looking for them. โ
A few days ago, Xiao Ruojiang received news that the Bai family army led by the seventh prince and the ninth prince to raid Xiliang was annihilated, and he had been reluctant not to dare to say it to the eldest girl, but fortunately, the eldest girl asked him that day, and he was worried that the eldest girl would not be able to hold on, so he didn't say a word! Today's news...... It's a lot of fun!
Hearing this, she turned her head suddenly, her heart beating violently, and fled?! That is to say...... The seventh and ninth brothers are very likely to be alive!
Don't talk about her, even Bai Jinzhi almost jumped up when she heard it, and her eyes lit up: "Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother escaped!" That is to say...... Still alive?! Are you sure?! โ
Xiao Ruojiang's hand hidden in his sleeve tightened, and it was difficult to restrain the joy in his heart, and he nodded vigorously: "Really! โ
She suppressed her ecstatic emotions and asked Xiao Ruojiang: "Where were the seventh and ninth brothers intercepted?" Where is Shen Qingzhu now? What about messengers? Need someone to help?! โ
"Back to the eldest girl, the person sent by Miss Shen to deliver the message has not said it, and the messenger has already left!" 1603382715
