"I'll go and rest first, and after you finish drinking, rest early." Bai Jiujiu wanted to recover the consumed spiritual power as soon as possible, so he walked back to the room alone and secretly breathed.

Her mind couldn't help but be a little heavy, Zhao Feihuai would find a chance to deal with herself sooner or later, the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light, I was afraid that I would be unable to guard against it.

The next day, Xu Huaiqing went to court as usual, he saw the emperor's gloomy face, sitting on the dragon chair, and couldn't help frowning, he knew very well that if the emperor could be like this, something big would definitely happen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received an urgent report from the border region. The local guards colluded with other countries with the intention of rebellion. "The frontier rebellion is undoubtedly a big deal.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers talked about it. Since ancient times, rebellion has been a very serious matter, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to cause serious disasters.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, rebellion cannot be tolerated." Hearing the news, the crown prince couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Although he is now in power, he has never achieved success. The ministers were on his side, but the generals didn't buy it. It is better to take this opportunity to buy a wave of people's hearts.

The emperor nodded, he naturally would not leave the rebellion on the frontier alone. It's just that who to suppress is a difficult problem for him.

"What Aiqing is willing to go and suppress the rebellion?" The emperor glanced at everyone.

"My son is willing to go." As soon as the emperor spoke, the crown prince stood up first and said, "My father cares about the people in the frontier, and my son is willing to share my father's worries and go to the frontier to suppress the rebellion." ”

The emperor bowed slightly, and in his heart, he also wanted to hand over this task to the prince.

Now that the heir is about to be seized, although the emperor did not say it explicitly, he did not want his prince to fall off the horse. If the crown prince can successfully suppress this rebellion, it will undoubtedly make the generals look up to him. Making such contributions will greatly increase his success rate in winning the heir.

"Although the crown prince has never led troops, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he must be able to successfully suppress the rebellion, I don't know what everyone Aiqing thinks?"

Although the emperor made it clear that he wanted to appoint the crown prince as a general to suppress the rebellion, some ministers stood up and retorted, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter needs to be carefully considered." Leading troops into battle is not child's play, although the prince is familiar with military books, but has no battlefield experience. Compared with the crown prince, the minister thought that the king of Wei was more suitable. ”

With the person who took the lead, the rest of the ministers echoed it, and the ministers were of the same opinion. King Wei has commanded troops for many years and has extremely rich battlefield experience. If the king of Wei had come out, he would have been able to suppress the rebellion easily. ”

Listening to the words of the ministers, the emperor couldn't help but hesitate. Although he hoped that the crown prince would take this opportunity to increase his prestige, if the suppression failed, it would be a great blow to morale. Moreover, the surrounding countries have also been ready to move, and if they know that the war is defeated, they may take this opportunity to invade the border in one fell swoop.

And although King Wei has never shown his edge, he has won several battles before, and it is not bad to leave this matter to him.

The prince's face froze, and he knew very well in his heart that the suppression of the rebellion in the frontier was very important to the seizure of the heir. Even if he doesn't go, he must not let King Wei go.

"Father, the emperor, the sons can make a guarantee, and they will be able to successfully suppress the rebellion." Ignoring the obstruction of the ministers, the prince said to the emperor, "If it fails, the sons are willing to take responsibility." ”

The emperor still hesitated, this matter was very important, and he did not dare to jump to conclusions. This is, the emperor found that Xu Huaiqing on the side had been standing quietly without saying a word.

"Xu Aiqing, I don't know what you think about this?" Seeing Xu Huaiqing, the emperor decided to ask his opinion, "Do you think this rebellion should be suppressed by the crown prince, or should the king of Wei be sent to it?" ”

Seeing the emperor asking him, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He knew very well in his heart that he was already on the cusp of this matter. Although he did not take a clear side before, his answer now must be clear. If he supported the prince's visit, then the king of Wei would definitely think that he was the crown prince. party, and vice versa.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Huaiqing took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that suppressing the rebellion is not a child's play. Although the prince is familiar with military books, his ability is extraordinary. But the emperor should have heard the story on paper. The situation on the battlefield is instantaneous, and it is by no means something that can be controlled by relying on a military book. In the humble opinion of the ministers, it is more appropriate to send the experienced King Wei there. ”

Hearing Xu Huaiqing's words, the courtiers were in an uproar. Prior to this, Xu Huaiqing had not stood in line, and no matter how other forces tried to win him over, he refused to nod. With these remarks just now, even if he didn't want to support King Wei in his heart, he was afraid that he would fall into the ears of others, and he would have to stand on King Wei's side.

The crown prince frowned even more, he had already wanted to move Xu Huaiqing before, but because he was deeply appreciated by the emperor and did not clearly state his position, he did not do it. didn't expect that at this critical moment, he became a roadblock that hindered his way to succession.

"Father, Xu Huaiqing's words are biased." The prince knew that Xu Huaiqing's words would make him fall into passivity. He hurriedly retorted, "Who has experience in the battlefield for the first time?" Please ask your father to believe in his son, this time he ordered his son to suppress the rebels, and he will definitely succeed. ”

King Wei, who had never spoken, could no longer sit idly by, and finally Xu Huaiqing spoke for himself, he would never miss this opportunity, "The prince should not take the war too simply. You know, a war is about the lives of thousands of people, and if you lose, how do you account for the families of those who fell in battle? ”

The prince snorted coldly, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while. I can only show my determination to the emperor again, "Father, the son will definitely not live up to the great trust of the father, please believe in the son." ”

Seeing that the crown prince and the king of Wei were arguing above the court, the emperor snorted coldly and stopped the two.

"You don't have to ask for more, I have my own decision." Although the emperor connived at the princes to fight each other on weekdays, above the court, he couldn't let the two quarrel in front of him.

What Xu Aiqing said is extremely that the prince lacks battlefield experience, and it is indeed difficult for people to feel at ease when he goes on the expedition. According to your words, I ordered the King of Wei to lead his troops and go to the frontier to suppress the rebellion. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, although Xu Huaiqing didn't say anything on the surface, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The emperor clearly pointed out that it was because of his own words that he decided not to use the prince and sent the king of Wei to the frontier, which undoubtedly made him a thorn in the side of the prince and his henchmen.

The prince glared at Xu Huaiqing viciously, and he regretted it in his heart at this time.
