"Yan Shouzhan has such a big appetite, so he is not afraid of choking?"

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, was indignant.

Although he has not yet made a formal will, deep down, he has regarded himself as the prince and the future master of the Great Wei River.

Yan Shouzhan wants to blackmail the court, which is tantamount to digging his corner, how can he not hate.

Whoever digs the corner of the wall should be damned.

Emperor Yongtai sighed, "You have to remember that the family and the military generals are all the henchmen of the imperial court. In the future, you will sit in my position, don't follow my old path, and don't try to use the power of the court to deal with the family or the generals.

The family and the generals seem to be harmonious, but in fact, they have long been disagreeable with each other. As long as there are no external worries, sooner or later there will be a fight between them. What you have to do is to use the generals to suppress the family, and at the same time use the family to suppress the generals. You must learn from my lessons, don't take it personally, and don't take it lightly. ”

Xiao Chengyi bowed down to receive the order, "Son, remember the teachings of the emperor!" ”

Emperor Yongtai muttered again, "Emperor Zhongzong opened the imperial examination back then and used Hanmen scholars, this move is right." The imperial examination was a fatal blow to the family. It's a pity that the first emperor abolished the imperial examination, and I couldn't afford to open the imperial examination again. ”

"Father doesn't need to be angry, one day the Great Wei court will hold another imperial examination."

"You also approve of the imperial examination?"

"Erchen naturally approves. The benefits of the imperial examination are self-explanatory. ”

"Yes! The benefits speak for themselves. Of course, the family can see the benefits that we can see, so they have spared no effort to suppress the imperial examination and suppress all those who dare to support it. Do you know what the real mistake 'Prince Zhangyi' made back then? It was he who openly supported the imperial examination and made the family panic. ”

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt a sense of fear.

"What does my father mean, the reason why 'Prince Zhangyi' failed because he openly supported the imperial examination?"

Emperor Yongtai did not shy away from nodding his head and admitted, "The root cause of his failure is here." So, even if you support the imperial examination in your heart, don't show the slightest hint of it in front of others. Even in front of the people around you, don't show this meaning. Don't forget, the harem and the imperial family have always been one. The Huangmen attendants in the palace don't know how many people have been bought by the family. ”

Xiao Chengyi subconsciously looked around to confirm that there was no one, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you father for mentioning it, my son must remember." ”

Emperor Yongtai patted him on the shoulder, "I don't want you, when you fall asleep in the middle of the night, you lose your life unconsciously." ”

Xiao Chengyi jumped up in shock at these words.

He smiled embarrassedly, "According to my father's intentions, wouldn't the palace become a tiger's den in Longtan." ”

Emperor Yongtai smiled, "Almost!" You will treat the palace as a tiger's den in Longtan, don't be careless at any time! ”

Xiao Chengyi's heart was a little empty, "Could it be that my father's side also has the eyes and ears of the family." ”

Emperor Yongtai said casually: "This is not accurate! I have cleaned up the people around me several times, but I can't ensure that everyone in Xingqing Palace is clean. As for you, if you can use the elderly, try to use the elderly, and the newcomer will let the old man train and screen. You have to guard against Princess Chengyang planting eyes and ears around you. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, my son must be cautious."

"And keep your queen mother from planting eyes and ears around you."

Xiao Chengyi's face turned pale, "Where is the queen mother?" ”

Emperor Yongtai said earnestly: "On the one hand, you will need the support of your mother in the future. On the other hand, you have to prevent her from interfering in government politics and influencing your decisions. You can't want to be your mother's puppet! ”

"Father said he was laughing!"

No one wants to be a puppet.

Emperor Yongtai waved his hand, signaling Xiao Chengyi not to be too nervous.

"Let's go back to Yan Shouzhan, this matter is really a bit tricky. The word 'soldier' mentioned by Zhuyang, you have an idea. ”

"Erchen thinks that no matter what, he can't waver in military affairs, that will make Yan Shouzhan take advantage of the situation, and the court will be difficult to suppress."

"However, Bohai County must be reclaimed."

Xiao Chengyi frowned, "Can you let the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou drive away the soldiers and horses of Youzhou who are defending Yan?" ”

"No! This is a no-brainer, and it will never work! A single mistake can have serious consequences that are incalculable. ”

Emperor Yongtai directly rejected his proposal.

Xiao Chengyi was a little worried, "Erchen really can't think of a better way, please ask my father for advice!" ”

Emperor Yongtai took out a few secret folds from the secret compartment and handed them to Xiao Chengyi, "There have been spies who have reported that Yan Shouzhan has been secretly expanding the army, but it is limited to financial resources, and the scale of the expansion is not large. How many soldiers and horses should there be in Youzhou, the imperial court has a fixed number. He secretly expanded the army, saying that it was serious, and this was the crime of killing the head. Zhuyang's word 'soldier' reminded me. To deal with Yan Shouzhan, you can use this handle to force him to comply. ”

"How do you force him to comply?"

Emperor Yongtai smiled, "You can privately promise him to expand his army by five thousand, which happens to be stuck on the number of people who secretly expand the army." ”

Xiao Chengyi didn't agree, "Father really wants to promise him to expand his army by 5,000? ”

Emperor Yongtai sneered, "Didn't I promise him that he wouldn't expand his army in private?" I know what you're worried about, and you're worried that he's going to use the 5,000 places to continue to expand his army. But you ignore one point, Yan Shouzhan doesn't have the money to raise so many soldiers and horses. Otherwise, after so many years, it would be impossible for him to secretly expand his army by 5,000.

Compared with Bohai County, 5,000 soldiers and horses were given to him, and he couldn't afford to turn over the wind and waves. But when Bohai County fell into his hands, it was different. He only needs to operate with his heart for a few years, not to mention the expansion of the army by 5,000 soldiers and horses, even if it is an expansion of 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is possible to have 20,000 soldiers and horses!

Therefore, you have to limit the territory of the generals to the death, and not let them have a chance to expand. Once a military general has a larger and more territory, he is no longer a simple military general, but a local warlord. ”

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Emperor Yongtai knocked on the table, and he already had a basic strategy to deal with Yan Shouzhan.

This time, you must not make a clear order, and you can only secretly promise the other party in private.

"I hope that Yan Shou will be interested in fighting and will not force me to use the Northern Army."

If the talks fail this time, Emperor Yongtai is likely to completely solve the Yan Shouzhan before he dies.

In any case, he would not leave the trouble of Yan Shouzhan to the third prince, Xiao Chengyi.

Yan Shouzhan is an old fox like this, and when he deals with the new emperor, he is simply handy.

On the other hand, the new emperor is always unable to deal with the old ministers.

……

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, came out of Xingqing Palace, and then went to Weiyang Palace to ask for peace.

Empress Tao had already prepared a meal and waited for him.

"What did your father teach you today?"

"It's still the same, helping my father deal with the music and doing some trivial things."

Empress Tao asked, "Didn't mention the things in the northwest?" ”

Xiao Chengyi shook his head, "My father is in a depressed mood, I want to talk about the northwest, but my father obviously has no thoughts." It may be a few days. ”

Empress Tao nodded, knowing it in her heart.

She was holding a teacup, seemingly absent-minded.

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, couldn't help but ask, "Does the queen mother have any troubles?" ”

Empress Tao came back to her senses, "I heard that Princess Chengyang sent people to your mansion again." ”

Xiao Chengyi smiled, "If she wants to send it, I'll take it." Anyway, the people she sent were not allowed to get close. What to do with those people is to worry about Shuyun. ”

"You're too careless! Do you think that if you don't let those people get close, everything will be fine? You'd better keep an eye on it. This palace has prepared a few people for you, you bring them back, and let them deal with Princess Chengyang's people. ”

After speaking, Empress Tao nodded slightly towards Young Eunuch Mei.

Young Eunuch Mei immediately clapped his hands, and soon, more than a dozen people appeared in the main hall.

There are palace maids, eunuchs, and grandmothers......

Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the words that his father had mentioned to him.

Not only to guard against Princess Chengyang, but also against the queen mother.

Sure enough, my father was right.

Before he was officially established as the prince, Princess Chengyang and Queen Mother couldn't wait to install someone beside him.

He looked down and smiled, his eyes full of sarcasm.

His father taught him hand-in-hand and treated him sincerely, but he never planted anyone around him.

Ay......

A sigh!

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

He accepted this "kindness" with a smile, as for whether to use it or not, others can't control him.

Empress Tao smiled with satisfaction, "These people arranged for you by this palace, you can rest assured that your mansion will be made into an iron wall, and it will be difficult for others to interfere." As for you, listen to your father's errand with peace of mind. ”

"It's not mine to worry about me after being tired."

"It's too much to say that! This palace has worked hard for most of his life, for what? It's not for you. You are at ease, you go smoothly, and you finally sit in that position, which is better than anything else. ”

Xiao Chengyi smiled and gagged his mouth with food.

Empress Tao mentioned another matter, "This palace heard that your second brother has been bedridden for a long time, and I am worried that his condition will worsen. When you have time, you go to see him, unravel him. ”

"Second brother has something on his mind?" Xiao Chengyi asked curiously.

Empress Tao laughed, "Who doesn't have anything on their minds." Your second brother is just too heavy to get over the hurdle in his heart. You go and see him, after all, you are brothers. ”

Xiao Chengyi nodded, "When I leave the palace in a while, I will go directly to visit the second brother!" ”
