There was only one thing the emperor cared about most, and he widened his eyes and asked, "Who made the first move?" ”

Gao Shenghai submitted the military report, "It was said above, it was dawn, and it seemed that they were all hands moving together." ”

The emperor unfolded the military newspaper and took it to the lamp to read carefully, a few lines, he stared at it for a long time, sat back in the chair after reading it, was silent for a moment, and said, "Please come over." ”

Gao Shenghai answered, bowed and withdrew.

The emperor sat for a while, but he still fought, even if he didn't do it, the king of Chu would also move, so it was okay, blocking the mouth of the people in the world, it was not that he tore up the gentleman's agreement, it was the king of Chu and the crown prince, who were brothers at the bottom, and attacked at the same time. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, he transferred Bai Changjian to Weishui, they may have guessed his thoughts, so they decided to strike first, fortunately, Bai Changjian's reaction was not slow, as soon as the war started, there was a draw, which was unique in the contest with the King of Chu, the words of the national teacher were really right, Bai Changjian was his lucky general, and he could help him achieve a great cause.

The previous seemingly stable partition was actually a whitewash of the illusion of peace, there are no two monarchs in the country, they all know this truth, the reason why they agreed, because there is no certainty of victory, now everything is ready, it is time to see the difference.

Prime Minister Bai also just got the letter, and hurried over, his face was a little not very good.

The emperor asked, "Does the prime minister know?" ”

Prime Minister Bai naturally knew what he was asking, so he leaned over and replied: "Yes, the minister also just heard that General Bai and the King of Chu had a fight." ”

"Does the prime minister know who picked the head first?"

"This ......" Prime Minister Bai Cheng sweated on his forehead, the emperor did not give an order, Bai Changjian started a war without authorization, and it was a capital crime to talk about it.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister has received news that it was the people of the king of Chu who attacked a place called Xiaomanzhen, and then General Bai burned their ships. ”

The emperor laughed, "The two places are far apart, and it will take more than half a day to disappear, the king of Chu attacked the town in the morning, and General Bai also burned the ship in the morning, almost at the same time, what did the prime minister say about it?" ”

Prime Minister Bai was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "The emperor is sage, the dog is bold and reckless, and the minister has no way to discipline him, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

The emperor personally went over to help him up, "Prime Minister invited, I didn't mean to blame, on the contrary, General Bai's head was opened well, I was too indecisive before, General Bai didn't do it, and they couldn't hold it back, so very good, you personally drafted the declaration of the world, the king of Chu declared war, and I was forced to fight, so that the people of the world could understand my helplessness." ”

When the emperor transferred Bai Changjian to the edge of Weishui, Prime Minister Bai knew that there would be such a day, and he could only laugh at the emperor, and he didn't forget to do superficial work and put on a benevolent face.

"Yes, I obey." Prime Minister Bai pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu is cunning and cunning, and he is a good hand at marching and fighting, compared to General Bai, after all, he is young and vigorous, and there are still shortcomings, the minister thinks that he should send a few experienced generals to sit in battle, what does the emperor think?" ”

The emperor didn't think so, and glanced at him, "Prime Minister This is to grow the ambition of others, destroy his own prestige, his son still can't believe it, I am full of confidence in him, besides, there are many people who do not agree with each other, but it is not good, General Bai is the general of Dianyuan personally appointed by me, it is not good to send people to bind his hands and feet, it is a good thing to be young and vigorous, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, to deal with the king of Chu, General Bai is not afraid of things." ”

Prime Minister Bai wanted to send someone to go, because he was afraid that if he lost the battle, he would not want Bai Changjian to take the blame alone, but after thinking about it, if he was really defeated, the king of Chu would definitely fight to Lin'an in one fell swoop, and the emperor himself could not be protected, so how could he still have the heart to cure Bai Changjian's crime. In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't be governed, the king of Chu hates the Bai family, Emperor Gong stepped down, and he must deal with the Bai family for the first time, but it's a pity that Qianfan is gone, otherwise, he can still say a few words for the Bai family......

Thinking about this, Prime Minister Bai suddenly realized something, the last time the King of Chu raised troops, it was because the emperor lied to him that he had caught the princess, this time, the princess returned to heaven, and the King of Chu provoked a civil war again, could it be ...... The king of Chu thought that the death of Princess Chu was related to the emperor?

The hatred of killing his wife is not shared, and without Bai Qianfan, the king of Chu will become a wild horse that has escaped...... Prime Minister Bai shivered coldly, in this battle, I'm afraid they will be more auspicious......

"Does the emperor know the motive of the King of Chu for suddenly sending troops?"

"Their motives are naturally the same as mine," the Emperor said slowly, "There are no two kings in the country, and it is nonsense to say that the river is divided and ruled before. ”

"The emperor forgot, Princess Chu has just mourned ......"

The emperor frowned, "What does the prime minister mean that the king of Chu sent troops because the princess of Chu died?" But what does this have to do with me, could it be that I killed Princess Chu? ”

"Obviously, someone misled the king of Chu like this."

The emperor finally understood, "You mean the crown prince?" The crown prince killed the princess and blamed me, so the king of Chu waved his army to the north to seek justice? ”

"I'm afraid so." Prime Minister Bai said, "As long as we find evidence to prove that we were framed by the prince, the king of Chu will definitely turn his gun against the prince, why don't the emperor borrow the hand of the king of Chu to get rid of the prince once and for all." ”

The emperor pondered for a long time and asked him, "Then, when the king of Chu gets rid of the crown prince, how will I place him?" ”

"Kill the prince by the hand of the king of Chu, welcome the king of Chu back to the dynasty, set up a Hongmen banquet, as long as he enters the palace, immediately block the palace gate and kill him."

The emperor opened his mouth slightly, obviously shocked by his plan, and said half-loudly: "With those previous things, I am afraid it is not easy to lure the king of Chu into the palace, and besides, the prince has always acted without leakage, how can we find evidence that he killed the princess?" ”

Prime Minister Bai said, "It's not difficult, there is no evidence, we won't make one," his eyes flashed, "Even if there is no such thing, we will do it for him." ”

The emperor has the pride of the emperor, if he can, he is unwilling to rely on the king of Chu anymore, and finally got rid of the shadow of the king of Chu, and now he has to go back to the past, he is not happy, besides, he is still full of confidence in Bai Changjian.

"There is some truth in what the prime minister said, but the two armies have been fighting side by side, time is pressing, it is not easy to make the king of Chu believe in our evidence," the emperor's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table: "What I mean, prepare with both hands, if you win, take them down in one fell swoop, everything will be over, if you lose, then throw the evidence out, let the king of Chu decide for himself, what does the prime minister want?" ”

Prime Minister Bai smiled bitterly in his heart, he said so much just to save his life, his life is gone, what else do he have to do, the emperor still can't see through it...... I only hope that King Hou Chu can look at Bai Qianfan's face and leave him a way to live.
