The crown prince didn't expect the emperor to put the decision on this matter in his hands, and a flash of joy flashed in his heart: "Back to my father's words, the son thinks that it is better to give the position of the general of soldiers and horses to the eldest son of the old general." ”

Seeing that there was no objection on the emperor's face, the prince continued: "After all, over the years, General Shen has accompanied the old general through countless battles, and he must have been carefully cultivated by the old general, and his strategy must be better, but the main reason is that General Shen is the eldest son of the old general, and most of the generals in the army are personally selected by the old general. ”

Hearing the prince's words, a little displeasure flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Although there is some truth in the prince's words, the emperor feels that if things are done according to his wishes, there will definitely be hidden dangers.

In all dynasties, the most taboo thing for kings is that the general supports the army and stands on his own, so those generals who sit in the position of commander of the three armies generally do not sit for too long, the old general is an exception, the emperor and the old general have known each other for many years and know him very well.

The one who has always put the people of the world first, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing as seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne, to put it bluntly, the old general is a little stupid and loyal, but it is this foolish loyalty that saves his life.

But the old general's son is different, the emperor doesn't trust him very much, although he is now a person under Li Gaozhan, but that doesn't mean that Li Gaozhan can suppress this ...... What's more, the hereditary inheritance of the commander of the army has a great impact on who the military wants, if that General Shen has a different heart and trains the country's army into their Shen family's own private soldiers, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the imperial court in the future?

The emperor knew the calculation in Li Gaozhan's heart, but he didn't expect him to have such no sense of the overall situation.

"What the prince said makes a lot of sense." The emperor nodded and said with a slight smile.

At that moment, the prince almost thought that he had really been praised, and for a while he was a little fluttering.

But in the next second, he fell into the abyss.

"However, I still think that Lord Heng is more suitable for the position of General of Soldiers and Horses."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "As Zhang Aiqing said, Lord Heng has not yet recovered his memory, but he has made great contributions on the battlefield, although he has not been cultivated by the old general, but I believe that he has experienced so many battlefields and must have learned a lot, so I decided to give the position of the general of soldiers and horses to Lord Heng." ”

"But Your Majesty, Lord Heng is a civilian official after all, and he has only been in the army for more than a year, how can he serve as the commander of the three armies?"

The emperor looked a little dissatisfied, waved his hand and said, "I think it can be done, you Aiqing don't need to say more, I have already made a decision." ”

In this way, the people in the hall understood the true meaning of the emperor, although he was asking at the beginning, but he must have already decided on the candidate in his heart, and the general of the soldiers and horses was determined to be Heng Xinyuan, and the emperor's inquiry was just to test them. ”

Thinking of this, no one dared to point fingers at Heng Xinyuan's succession.

Heng Xinyuan knelt down on one knee: "The minister receives the order." ”

As soon as the words fell, an attendant beside the emperor walked up to him with a talisman in his hand: "Please Lord Heng to receive the talisman." ”

"The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty showed a surprised expression because of the reversal of things, because Heng Xinyuan became the general of soldiers and horses, some people were happy and some were worried, and the most hated person was His Royal Highness Li Gaozhan, the crown prince of the dynasty.

He never thought that the emperor would beat himself like this in front of many ministers, how happy he was when the emperor asked him about the position of the general of soldiers and horses at the beginning, and how ugly his face was now.

As soon as Li Gaozhan returned home, he immediately locked himself in his room. ，

"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried about?" Lu Ming pretended to be confused, and came all the way to the prince's bodyguards.

When the guard saw that it was him, he was defenseless.

"The subordinates don't know, after His Highness went down to the court today, people have been sullen, it should be that something happened to him when he was in the court, Su Yiyi is in a bad mood."

The guard glanced worriedly at the prince's study.

Since the last invitation was rejected by Heng Xinyuan, Li Gaozhan's temper has become worse and worse, and he is about to get angry at every turn, and the objects in the study have not been smashed by him many times, and now I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the doom.

"Who's out there?"

Xu is Lu Ming and the guard's voice reached the study, and Li Gaozhan suddenly asked.

Even if the other party couldn't see it through the door, Lu Ming was still respectful: "Subordinate Lu Ming." ”

"You come in."

Lu Ming entered the prince's study as he said.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw the miserable situation in the room, almost everything that could be smashed was thrown to the ground by Li Gaozhan, and the whole study was as miserable as a typhoon.

"Meet Your Highness......" Lu Ming saluted respectfully.

The crown prince was a little impatient with his cautious style, and waved his hand directly and said: "You don't have to care about those false courtesies, and tell the palace about your future plans, today my father beat the palace in front of hundreds of civil and military officials." He seemed to ask the palace to express his opinion on the affairs of the general, and the palace recommended the general's son, and he changed his face to the palace, and seemed to be very dissatisfied, and then, the father and the emperor raised Heng Xinyuan, do you say that the father is not dissatisfied with the palace? ”

The position of the crown prince was won by Li Gaozhan with great difficulty, and he was absolutely unwilling to let this position fall into the hands of others.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is not necessarily dissatisfied with Your Highness, this may just be a knock on Your Highness." ”

Li Gaozhan's eyes lit up: "How do you say this?" ”

"General Shen is a person of His Royal Highness, Your Majesty must be very clear about this, he is unwilling to let General Shen succeed to the throne, perhaps because he is afraid of the influence of the Shen family on the army, after all, all dynasties and dynasties have thought about how to weaken the strength of military generals, and there is no reason to help them consolidate their power, right? His Majesty just didn't trust General Xiao Shen, and His Royal Highness was put on a face in court, perhaps because he didn't see the overall situation clearly. ”

Li Gaozhan patronized the struggle for his throne without regard to the overall situation, which the emperor did not want to see.

Li Gaozhan clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "You're right, it's the palace that cares too much about personal gains and losses." ”

As the king of a country, he should focus more on the big picture.

Because of Lu Ming's words, the prince's mood turned cloudy, he not only praised Lu Ming in every way, but even rewarded Lu Ming with a lot of gold and silver treasures, Lu Ming left the study with a thousand thanks, and after stepping out of the prince's mansion, he suddenly changed his face again.

When Lu Ming got into the carriage, the coachman asked him, "Childe, where are we going?" ”

Lu Ming's eyes darkened, and he said with a complicated expression: "Red Music Fang." ”

Heng Xinyuan successfully sat in the position of the general of soldiers and horses, that person will be very happy, while it is still early, it is better to go and congratulate her, by the way, it is good to reminisce about the past.
