Many people think that it should be King An, because he is Honglu Siqing and the status of a prince, and it is most appropriate for him to go.

However, this matter always exudes a strange atmosphere, which is naturally because the relationship between Xianbei and the Northern Tang Dynasty has gradually broken down, although it is said that Xianbei has been replaced by Su Guo, but the country name can be changed, but people are still Xianbei people.

Chu Shoufu saw the clues, and gradually understood why the emperor snubbed the prince first and let him be grounded for sin, because the prince was guilty of sin, and he could easily refuse the invitation of Su Guo.

Emperor Ming Yuan's vision should be based on the accuracy and precision of the intelligence, and the accuracy and precision of the intelligence is also based on Hong Lie's early planning, and after planning for a few months, it will definitely not be a celebration.

And Hongye Gongzi and Hong Liexing originally set up spies in the Northern Tang Dynasty, so this scene must be done in a fake show, and the prince was forced to make trouble in the palace, and the emperor damaged his reputation to protect the prince, if he discussed it with the prince in advance, the prince would not be able to do this scene.

This scheming and sacrifice was also moved by Chu Shoufu.

Sure enough, the emperor convened cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, and the candidates proposed, King An and Prince Rui had the highest voices.

Emperor Ming Yuan did not make a decision, and after withdrawing from the discussion, he left Chu Shoufu and Calm Yan in the imperial study.

"Two Aiqing, what do you think?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the list, and the two of them also recommended King An.

Calmly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers recommended King An, according to the secret investigation in the past two months, Xianbei's dark line has gradually surfaced, they have always had dealings with King An, no matter what big move Su Guo held back this time, they will not easily hurt King An, because we did not find out the dark line, they thought that it was not exposed, and there was more time to use King An in the future." ”

"Where's Shousuke?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Chu Shoufu and asked.

Chu Shoufu said: "The minister agrees with Lord Leng's statement, no matter what the purpose of Su Guo this time is, it is definitely not as simple as a celebration that can be predicted, Prince Rui is suitable, but Prince Rui is not very clear about the situation, and it is easy to be controlled by others." It's just that King An and Xianbei Hongye colluded, and if they sent King An this time, they could discuss major matters in a justifiable manner, which was also a hidden danger to my Northern Tang Dynasty. ”

Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were filled with anger, "No matter what he is planning, when he comes back from Suguo, he will seize power and issue back to the fiefdom, order people to closely monitor it, and deploy garrisons around it." ”

Chu Shoufu bowed, "Then everything will be done according to the emperor's wishes." ”

Calmly said: "Your Majesty, there is another thing that is worrying, that is, if the relationship between the two countries breaks down this time, or the soldiers meet, but our weapons have not yet been made, but Hong Liexing of the Su State has already obtained the map of the army, if their weapons are made, it will be a great threat to our Northern Tang Dynasty, and although we have formed an alliance with the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou is now the general and his wife are going to the battlefield separately to deal with the war, but we have no arrangements." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan smiled faintly, "The close connection with the Great Zhou, you don't have to worry about this, do you really think that the prince is just grounded in the mansion these days?" His people had already been out of activities for a long time, and the military supplies Leng Siye had started preparing three months earlier. ”

Chu Shoufu was stunned, "Really?" Isn't the prince in the palace all day long? He didn't know ...... he had done all these things. Can you hide it from him? Chu Shoufu really felt that he was old this time, and he couldn't see through the emperor or the prince.

"I let him be grounded and leave Jingzhao Mansion, just to let him completely withdraw to do these things, between father and son, there is no need to say, he knows that the crisis is approaching, after all, he is already a mature prince. However, the most worrying thing at the moment is the military map, and I don't know if the people he sent out have destroyed the military map, and the Great Zhou side, there is no new soldier map, if there is a soldier map, with the current financial resources and manpower of my Northern Tang Dynasty, a batch can be produced in two months, so why should Su Guo and the Northern Desert be afraid? ”

Chu Shoufu was slightly stunned, with the current financial resources of the Northern Tang Dynasty? Is he confused lately? This year's tax revenue doesn't seem to be much better than last year's. Could it be that he realized this situation later, and he didn't even know that there was suddenly more new income in the country?

"Your Majesty, this financial ...... Where to start? Chu Shoufu asked cautiously, he really didn't remember such a thing.

Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at him and said steadily: "I have a son-in-law." "A son-in-law who is rich enough to rival the country.

"Oh......" Chu Shoufu and Calm Yan glanced at each other, this stinky shameless!

"At the moment of national crisis, nature will help each other!" Emperor Ming Yuan saw the deep meaning contained in the sound of the two of them, and said dissatisfied.

"Oh......"

"Retreat!" Emperor Ming Yuan was slightly annoyed.

An Wangfu set up a banquet to entertain Sun Wangfu's family today, saying that it was hospitality, but in fact, it was a confession, the two brothers had a personal grudge, and then because of the third child, Sun Wang was angry with King An for a long time, although Sun Wang did not hold grudges, but this anger was also in his heart for a long time.

The reason for King An's banquet is also very simple, to turn hostility into jade silk, after all, the two are now officials in the same yamen, and they see each other day and night, and if there is unhappiness, it will affect official business.

King Sun was a businessman and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he agreed to take Princess Sun to the banquet with him.

During the banquet, King An kept persuading him to drink and make amends, saying that he was a bastard, and he shouldn't have treated the third child like this, which led to the destruction of the third family, and he even said that when the third child couldn't chase and beat him, he didn't fight back, because he knew that he deserved it.

Seeing that he was sincere, and that he was a brother, he couldn't hold a grudge like this anymore, so he said: "It's all over, don't mention it again in the future, brother, there is no overnight feud, and when the third child comes back, you will admit your mistakes to him in a down-to-earth manner, and I believe that the third child will not blame you again." ”

King An was in tears, and toasted again, and drunk King Sun for seven or eight points, before he said: "Su Guo Celebration, my father must have sent me there, but, second brother, you also know, I can't go, if I go, it will take away the edge of the prince, and the prince and I have finally calmed down now, if I fight again because of this matter, it is really not what I want." ”

King Sun naturally knew about this, and said: "The fifth child is grounded now, he can't go, and you can't be regarded as taking away his edge, everything still has to be arranged by the father." ”

King An sighed, "That's what I said, but I can't stand those who pinch me, second brother, you don't know, after all, I have a criminal record, even if the fifth child knows that I have no ambition now, but the people around him don't know, this matter will be infinitely magnified, and if the fifth brother has a dislike for me, then I really can't wash it away." ”

King Sun was a little dazed, and after hearing King An's words, he felt that it was very reasonable, and said, "In this way, you are indeed not suitable. ”

"Yes, in fact, I really want to go, we are in charge of Honglu Temple for diplomatic matters, it is reasonable for me to go, and I can also see the customs of the Su Kingdom by the way, or do something to change the Xianbei people's view of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately for this reason, it is not good for me to go, second brother, why don't you go, recommend yourself to your palace tomorrow morning, and the younger brother will definitely strongly second!"

"Okay!" Princess Sun listened beside her, and when she heard King An's proposal, she suddenly responded and touched King Sun's arm with her elbow to make him agree.
