Chapter 667: Reason and Law Disagree
The Eighth Prince looked out the window at the scenery and sank into a trance, he wanted to know what the situation on the battlefield was like now. But after the death of the sixth prince, those ministers who were co-opted by him in the court still had to solve it by themselves, and they never had time to ask Hui Shangyi about the situation on the battlefield today.
It was also since the last time the soldiers brought the news of the battlefield to the imperial city, and no new news came. Although the mood was nervous, it couldn't be revealed, although the eighth prince felt that Hui Shangyi would have a way to solve those things, but he was still a little relieved.
I don't know if the scenery outside the window led him to some thoughts, the eighth prince stopped looking out of the window, turned back to the imperial chair and sat down, picked up the paper and pen on the table and began to write a letter.
The letter written by the Eighth Prince this time was sent to Hui Shangyi, and he sent it to Hui Shangyi because he wanted to know the latest situation on the battlefield, and he also wanted to know if the battlefield needed his help...... Just as the Eighth Prince was writing here, the pen paused for a moment, but soon started to write again. The pause was as short as if it hadn't appeared at all.
After thinking about it, he started to write about Xiao Wanyin in the letter. After Xiao Wanyin was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, she and the six princes were buried together. Due to the unforgivable mistakes committed by the six princes, his status as a prince was deprived, and Xiao Wanyin and the "six princes" were buried together as civilians.
As for the way they were buried, it was not solemn, and the whole process was in the way of civilian burial. There was no trace of addition, nothing was hastily done, no one knew, and the few people who came were just people who arranged the burial.
Only a few people know about how to bury the "Six Princes", because it is still about the face of the royal family. For this problem, everyone was not sloppy, but they did not come up with any good solutions, and finally had to take a compromise solution. Depriving the "Eight Princes" of their royal status will not lose their royal face, and the problem can be solved as soon as possible......
When the letter was written here, it was over, and the eighth prince glanced at the handwriting on the paper and put the pen down. Although the "Sixth Prince" is dead, his remaining remnants in the court have not been completely resolved, and the Eighth Prince can be regarded as having made a bloody investment in this matter, after all, those people are also relatives of the emperor, and it is not so easy to solve it.
There are many unknowns waiting for you after that...... The thought of the Eighth Prince's brow furrowed, but he quickly came back to his senses. Folded the letter on the table and handed it to the attendant next to him, "This letter is sent to Hui Shangyi on the battlefield, don't lose it." The eighth prince said a few words to the attendant, hoping that he could deliver it in time to protect the envelope and not lose it.
"Yes! Eighth Prince, I'll go now, I won't miss the hour. After listening to the words of the Eighth Prince, the attendant on the side said that he would do his best to complete the task assigned to him by the Eighth Emperor without delaying the opportunity. After saying this, the attendant also said goodbye to the Eighth Prince, turned around and left the palace, and ran towards the battlefield.
"Hmm...... Let's go" Looking at the departing figure of the attendant, the eighth prince began to think about his next move, this time he planned to solve all the henchmen who defended the six princes in the first place. I didn't solve them last time because I wanted to give them another chance, and I also hoped that those henchmen could be owned by themselves. Unexpectedly, only a few people surrendered, and most of them were still firm in their original ideas and did not submit to the Eighth Prince.
When he first sent people to woo those ministers, they all rejected him, and said that he wanted to remain neutral. At that moment, the Eighth Prince had a murderous intention, and since he couldn't submit to himself, he couldn't let them stay here. You have to be ruthless with these people, or it will be your own disaster, and you may be able to attack yourself at some moment.
"Report ......" Hui Shangyi, who was sitting in the camp tent, was planning the tactics with Dugu Yin in the later stage, when he suddenly heard news from someone. After thinking about it, he guessed that it was sent by someone from the Eighth Emperor's Imperial City, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers outside the door to let people in.
"Yes!" After hearing Hui Shangyi's order, the soldiers outside the gate obeyed the order to open the camp tent and let the people in, without hindrance.
"General Hui, this is the news that the Eighth Prince asked me to bring to you from the Imperial City." The attendant walked in from outside the tent, and when he saw Hui Shangyi on the stage, he knelt down. Explain to him his intentions, and give the envelope handed to him by the Eighth Prince.
After Hui Shangyi saw the envelope, he put down the pen, "Fortunately, you go down and rest first." After saying these words, he motioned for his soldiers to take his attendants down to rest. Love me
After waiting for the attendant to go down, Hui Shangyi opened the envelope. He wondered if something had happened in the capital, otherwise how would he have passed the news. When he read the letter, he knew that he was overthinking.
This time, the news from the Eighth Prince was mainly to ask how the battle was going on his side and see if there was anything he needed help with. When he saw this, Hui Shangyi knew that he was asking himself if he was sure to fight this battle.
Seeing this, Hui Shangyi naturally showed a wry smile, things on the battlefield are not something that you can decide, everything here is not certain, and there may be a turn for the better in the next second. After all, the enemy generals who fought against him this time were no longer the ones in the past, but Dugu Yin! Although he has always been the victorious side when he fought against him a few times ago, he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case......
Thinking of this, Hui Shangyi shook his head and continued to read the next content of the letter. At the back of the letter, the Eighth Prince wrote about Xiao Wanyin and the "Six Princes". After reading these contents, Hui Shangyi frowned casually. He couldn't understand why he deprived the sixth prince of his royal status, although the sixth prince had made some mistakes, but he was still the brother of the eighth prince after all...... It's really not appropriate......
Although he also knew that the Eighth Prince was not doing it right, Hui Shangyi couldn't help it...... After all, when the Sixth Prince was alive, he was the Eighth Prince's biggest competitor. They have done a lot of things to damage each other's interests in order to sit on the throne, and now that the six princes have committed another crime and died, the eighth prince naturally wants to abandon him far away, and try his best to vent what the six princes did to themselves.
Depriving the Six Princes of their royal status is the most effective and discouraging way...... Hui Shangyi sighed deeply and expressed his helplessness. After all, this is also an internal matter of the palace, and it doesn't play a role in a martial artist by himself, even if he wants to say it, but it's over, the eighth prince has already buried Xiao Wanyin and the "six princes", and it's too late.
After reading the entire letter, Hui Shangyi pondered for a while, quickly picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper. Regarding the matter of the "Six Princes" just now, Hui Shangyi did not write anything, nor did he plan to say anything, after all, it has already passed, and if he has to say something more about the past, the Eighth Prince will definitely be bored and will be estranged from himself. It's better not to mention it yourself, so that both sides are fine.
The tip of the pen began to move, and Hui Shangyi told the Eighth Prince the truth about the situation on the battlefield in our favor. After thinking about it, he told him about the battle with Dugu Yin, and the connotation of it was also to tell him that the strength of the enemy fighting against us this time was too strong...... After that, Hui Shangyi told Dugu Yin about sending noble soldiers to fight.
The process of fighting with the ghost soldiers was really thrilling, and Hui Chongde was also sent out in that battle, after all, there was really nothing to do. Fortunately, Dugu Yin was dragged back in the end, and he had no way to attack other places, so he could only deal with our soldiers. Yu Zhuoqi, who was sent to attack our formation, also ended up being injured, and in the end, he was also injured on top of injury, if he didn't have a ghost general to help, then he would definitely die on the spot.
Because of that battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses, although our soldiers were also wounded, but the casualties were really not worth mentioning compared to the enemy. After that battle, both sides were reorganizing their forces and trying to recover, but the enemy suffered heavy losses, and they were worried about being attacked all day long, and it is estimated that their vitality has not recovered until now. However, our side is well organized, and there are elite soldiers and strong generals arranged around the camp, and we are not afraid of a surprise attack by the enemy, and the natural vitality recovers faster and better.
The soldiers who went to the enemy's camp to reconnoiter informed themselves of all the actions of the other side, and after learning the news of the enemy's army, Hui Shangyi also held a meeting to discuss the next move with the other generals. Most of the generals felt that they should take advantage of the victory and chase them and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, after all, our soldiers were almost rested, and if we took advantage of this opportunity, we would definitely be able to win a great victory.
In fact, Hui Shangyi didn't think about the thoughts of other generals, but he was afraid that the enemy army would have other ideas, so he didn't have any plans, just waiting for the opportunity to spy on them if they would have any inside information. But now our generals want to take advantage of the enemy's great vitality to attack.
After thinking about it this time, he decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the enemy, believing that under such a favorable opportunity, the attack on the enemy would be successful. After all, it is also hoped that the Eighth Prince will defeat the enemy army as soon as possible, and there is no need to worry about the destruction of the country. Hui Shangyi did not intend to continue to let Dugu Yin advance towards the imperial city, in order to make the eighth prince feel at ease and protect the country and the people more, then this battle was inevitable.
Hui Shangyi handed over the reply letter to the attendants, and asked him to return to the capital and hand it over to the Eighth Prince himself, and not to pass it on to others.
The Eighth Prince had been waiting for Hui Shangyi's reply in the capital, and as soon as the attendant who had returned from the battlefield handed him the letter, he couldn't wait to open it and read it. After reading all the contents of the letter, his heart hanging in the air was also relaxed, and with Hui Shangyi's affirmation, then this war would be won.
