The emperor was having a headache about the bandits in Liangzhou, and when he heard that the prince took the initiative to stand up and say that he had an idea to deal with those bandits, he became interested: "What kind of strategy did the prince say?" ”

Hearing the prince's words: "Father Qi, the defenders of Liangzhou City after the son are not without the ability to fight against the bandits, they just lack a capable general, although the governor of Liangzhou City was sent to serve after Lord Heng left Liangzhou, but more than a year has passed, but he has not improved at all, saying that he has no ability, if another person goes to Liangzhou to deal with this matter, he will definitely be able to be better than him." ”

The emperor nodded, feeling that what the crown prince said was not unreasonable.

The successor governor of Liangzhou City is called Xu Shi, he really has no merits after taking office, Liangzhou City not only did not improve under his governance, but even a few points inferior to Heng Xinyuan when he was in office, it can be seen that this Xu Shi really has no ability, but the emperor is a little hesitant about the candidate sent to Liangzhou City.

"Who do you think Aiqing is suitable to go to Liangzhou City to deal with the scourge of bandits?"

There was silence in the courtroom.

In fact, it is also a good errand to be ordered to go to Liangzhou City, after all, he is a minister, if he can deal with all those messy things, he will definitely be able to get the emperor's favor and reward when he returns to Beijing, maybe the official position can be raised a level, but the place in Liangzhou City is too barren, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a poor mountain and bad water, and the mountain bandits over there are so arrogant, it is not certain whether they can come back this time.

So the officials were silent, and no one dared to speak.

The emperor sat on the high seat and glared down fiercely, when he was fine, everyone was noisy, and he couldn't hold back his words when he really encountered something, he really didn't know what to do with these courtiers.

"Crown Prince," the Emperor said with a cold face, "since you proposed the plan, you must have a suitable candidate to recommend to me, right?" ”

The crown prince said respectfully: "Erchen does have a candidate who wants to recommend to his father, and that person is General Hengxin Yuanheng. ”

After this name was spoken, the emperor was stunned, he didn't expect the prince to recommend Heng Xinyuan.

If Heng Xinyuan had no real power before, it would be understandable to send him to Liangzhou to suppress bandits, but now it is different, Heng Xinyuan is a general of soldiers and horses with a military talisman in his hand, let a general lead troops to exterminate a group of mountain bandits, this is spread to other countries, wouldn't it be to think that there is no one available in their court?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that the prince's suggestion was not feasible.

Some officials saw the emperor's thoughts and took the initiative to stand up and say: "General Heng is a general of soldiers and horses after all, and Liangzhou City is just a bandit rebellion, so you need General Heng to go in person?" ”

"That's not right," the prince said calmly, "Although General Heng is the general of our dynasty, he was the governor of Liangzhou City more than a year ago, don't forget General Heng's deeds of governing Liangzhou City prosperously!" ”

"The main reason is that the bandits are now in Liangzhou City, and the people nearby have deep grievances, if they don't get rid of those bandits as soon as possible, I'm afraid that Liangzhou City will cause trouble, and send other adults to Liangzhou to deal with it, even if the local governor cooperates, it will always take a while to run in and adapt.

"But it's different to send General Heng there, General Heng is so familiar with Liangzhou City, presumably the people of Liangzhou City will also believe in him......"

The emperor nodded solemnly: "What the prince said makes sense, but I still feel that this matter needs to be thought twice." ”

He hadn't forgotten the reason why he sent Heng Xinyuan to Liangzhou in the first place, if he still sent Heng Xinyuan to go now, would he feel that I still wanted to suppress him like I did back then? If a country's generals have dissenting intentions because of unfair treatment, it is not something that can be appeased by a few simple words.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right!"

What followed was a bunch of voices echoing the prince's suggestion.

The emperor was really upset when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it here today, I am a little uncomfortable, scatter the dynasty." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Heng Xinyuan followed the civil and military officials and knelt on the ground slowly, thinking about how likely it was for him to go to Liangzhou City, when an internal official suddenly appeared in front of him.

The internal official whispered to Heng Xinyuan: "General Heng, Your Majesty has an invitation, please ask General Heng to go to the imperial study." ”

When he spoke, the prince happened to pass by Heng Xinyuan, and his expression changed slightly when he heard this, in the palace, in front of the civil and military officials, the prince was still able to endure it, but after returning home, the anger was a little uncontrollable: "Lu Ming, this palace told his father according to your plan this morning, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, his father called Heng Xinyuan to the imperial study to speak, do you think he will send Heng Xinyuan to Liangzhou?" ”

"Yes." Lu Ming said without hesitation, "Although there are still capable people in the imperial court, there is only one person who is familiar with Liangzhou City, General Heng, and the gang of mountain bandits in Liangzhou City are so strange, Your Majesty will definitely not let others go, Lord Heng is the only person he can send out." ”

The crown prince couldn't help but think of the emperor's expression before leaving, in fact, it was very likely that he would send Hengxin away.

The prince's eyes lit up, and a grim expression appeared on his face: "If the person who went to Liangzhou City this time is really Heng Xinyuan, then you have to plan it carefully, this palace wants him to go forever, and it is best not to have a second chance to be reborn and come back." ”

Lu Li lowered his eyes and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Besides, Heng Xinyuan, after being invited to the imperial study by the emperor, he bowed his head respectfully.

The emperor pressed the corner of his forehead lightly, and asked him with a headache: "You have heard what the court said this morning, General Heng, what do you think of going to Liangzhou City to suppress bandits?" ”

Heng Xinyuan respectfully knelt down in front of the emperor: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's imperial order." ”

"I don't mean that, I'm struggling with whether to send you to Liangzhou City, General Heng's loyalty to me, I understand." To this day, the emperor still clearly remembers the appearance of Heng Xinyuan helping him block arrows that day, such a dangerous move is definitely something that only a loyal and patriotic person can do, "What I want to know is whether you are willing to go to Liangzhou City to suppress bandits." ”

Heng Xinyuan was silent for a moment and said, "The minister is willing to go to Liangzhou City." ”

The Emperor was surprised by his answer, and he thought that he would not be willing to leave the capital and return to that barren little place.

He raised his eyebrows and asked puzzledly, "Why is General Heng willing to go?" "Even if he doesn't miss the prosperity of the capital, is he really willing to stay with the beautiful lady who was finally recovered?

Hearing it, Heng Xinyuan said: "Your Majesty is worried about the bandits in Liangzhou City, as Your Majesty's courtiers, you should share your Majesty's worries, and Liangzhou City is located in the border pass, the situation is indeed more complicated than the ordinary city, if you send a minister to go, maybe the difficulties encountered can be smaller." ”
