Chapter 242: Countermeasures

After a while, the ministers heard the voice of Xi Suosuo: "The deputy national teacher is so powerful, he even knows the things in the backyard of the king of Wuchen so clearly, do you see the face of the king of Wuchen?" Obviously, the deputy national teacher is right......"

Dark Rin ignored the discussions behind him, he raised his eyes and glanced at King Huainan with a slight provocation, before he said: "Weichen's grandfather was a hermit and was good at astrology. ”

Of course he wouldn't give Zhen Ninghou the opportunity to take over the military power, and now that the princes have given all their elite soldiers to Chu Yuanlang, isn't that equivalent to giving Chu Nian the right to the army in disguise? He didn't believe that Chu Nian and others could be trapped under the hands of Hutong for a long time, and it was obvious that Chu Nian would definitely come back.

During this period, what he had to do was to bring back to the original form what Chu Nian's subordinates had, and now that he was away from Chu Nian, the prince naturally had nothing to fear.

As if seeing through the dark intentions, Ming Xiu's eyes sank slightly, he turned his eyes to the emperor and said: "Father, the son feels that this matter is more conservative, and at the moment, the national teacher is just guessing the affairs of the two princes' families, and the son does not think that the national teacher can understand state affairs." ”

The prince spoke, and the king of Huainan immediately seconded: "Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks that the prince's words are true, state affairs are not child's play, and you can't use the national teacher's words to sway, you know, the barbarians have always been brave and good at fighting, and the younger brother doesn't think that the remaining soldiers and horses can resist it." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone seconded the proposal, and the emperor seemed to ponder for a while, then nodded and said, "This is reasonable. ”

Dark Rin's face sank slightly, and after a while, he raised his eyes and said, "If you have to wait for Shao Zhen to go to the frontier...... The minister felt that this matter was inappropriate, after all, Shaozhen Ning Hou was still young, although he was very intelligent, but in the end he was inexperienced, and what happened on the way to lead the army, I was afraid that it would be difficult to parry, and Weichen thought that at least an experienced general should be sent to accompany him. ”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at Liu Qidao: "I heard that General Liu has been in command of the Imperial Forest Army for a long time and is familiar with the art of war, Weichen thinks that General Liu should be the best choice. ”

Liu Qi glanced at Dark Rin in some surprise, and when he saw that Dark Rin narrowed his gray-white eyes slightly, he quickly lowered his head and responded: "What the National Teacher said is that the last general is willing to go out with the army. ”

The King of Huainan on the side glanced at Dark Rin with some inquiry, and then glanced at Liu Qi, then withdrew his eyes, turned his eyes to look at the emperor above and said, "But if General Liu goes on the expedition, what is going on in the imperial city, who will take care of the Imperial Forest Army?" ”

Ming Xiu, who had been silent on the side, flashed slightly, and saw Chen Lao take a step forward and said: "General Liu can't take away the Imperial Forest Army when he goes to lead the troops, and the Imperial Forest Army still has to guard the Imperial City, so the old minister thinks that it is better to temporarily hand over the Imperial Forest Army to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be in charge, and the affairs of the military department will be in charge of the military department, so that it is safe." ”

As soon as Chen Lao spoke, all the ministers echoed him, and at this moment, the Wang family faction did not dare to participate in this matter, so they had to quietly squint in the court, and the disciples watched the dark Rin and the prince faction deal with each other.

Dark Rin's face sank, and he turned his eyes to sweep over the ministers who were whispering along with Old Chen's proposal at the moment, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he really didn't expect that Ming Xiu would win the support of so many courtiers in a short period of time.

Counting it carefully, almost all the courtiers who were originally neutral were on the side of Ming Xiu, and some of the others who were originally in the Wang family have already defected to the Ming Xiu faction, not to mention the princes, at this moment, the king of Huainan has long been on the side of Ming Xiu because of Chu Nian's relationship, since it is a truce, it is natural to stand on the side of his own people, the Wang family is just a foreign surname, but he vainly tries to control the Ming dynasty, which is naturally despised by the princes.

And Ming Xiu actually took advantage of his proposal, but deprived Liu Qi's subordinates of the rights to his own hands?

Seeing that Dark Rin had a calm face and did not speak, the corners of Ming Xiu's mouth rose slightly, and then he looked up at the emperor who was above him and said: "Father Qi, Erchen is willing to take on this important task instead of General Liu, if General Liu can return to Beijing with military achievements in the frontier, Erchen will return the burden to General Liu." ”

The emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and at the end, he nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Liu Qi's face was not very good-looking, he forgot to glance at the dark with his sideways eyes, opened his mouth, and finally held back his voice.

In the Empress Dowager's palace, at this moment, Dark Rin was standing silently in front of the hall, and the Empress Dowager at the top frowned and looked at the silver figure standing by the window: "What should we do now?" The Chu family's military power has also been obtained, and the resources in Liu Qi's hands have also been deprived......"

The silver figure suddenly looked back at the Queen Mother and said, "Don't worry, this is still an opportunity." ”

The queen sank, looked at the dark Rin with some surprise, and said, "What chance?" ”

The dark gray-white eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his eyes to look out the window and said, "Since they want it, then give it to them, but what they took will be returned after all." ”

He looked back at the Queen Mother on the phoenix throne: "The Queen Mother thinks that the King of Huainan only has 10,000 guards?" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, she lowered her head in contemplation, and after a while, she raised her eyes in some surprise and looked at the dark and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Dark Rin smiled, his pale face became a little weaker, with an inexplicable sense of vulnerability, but his voice was vicissitudes and firm: "It is understandable that the Queen Mother does not know, the King of Huainan is an ambitious person, since he was sent to Huainan by the Queen Mother, in Huainan for so many years, is he really just idle?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head silently: "The spy only said that he was training soldiers, but it was only 5,000, and the mourning family still wondered, where did he get 10,000 guards." ”

Dark Rin sneered, then looked out the window again and said: "That's not the case, that's just a means for King Huainan to faint, conservatively estimated, King Huainan has at least 50,000 to 100,000 troops - he still has the military power to go to Huainan, adding up to 200,000." ”

Hearing this, the queen was stunned, and then saw Dark Rin pacing towards the table, picked up the steaming teacup and took a sip: "Above the court, the king of Huainan said that it was the 10,000 guards who lent it to Zhenninghou, but later said that when Zhenninghou passed by Huainan, all the elite soldiers in Huainan were dispatched by Zhenninghou, and the queen mother thought, how many soldiers and horses are this?" ”

The queen was stunned, "King Huainan has something to say, Zhen Ninghou was personally taught and raised by Chu Nian, and it is impossible not to understand the meaning of King Huainan's words." ”

"Hmm." Dark Rin looked sideways at the Queen Mother, her gray eyes flickered slightly, and even though she turned her head and said no more, the Queen Mother muttered to herself.

"In other words, on this trip, the Chu family has grown more than a little bit, in addition to those military powers, there are also ......"

Dark side eyes: "There are also war exploits." ”

The Queen Mother looked stunned, and then saw that the darkness continued: "If this trip to Zhen Ninghou makes war exploits on the border, it will be more than these military powers, but I am afraid that the status of the Chu family in the court will be close to the Wang family." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother suddenly panicked, and she looked at the dark and said, "What should I do now?" ”

Dark's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked out the window: "It's not that we don't have a way to deal with it, the Queen Mother, a few days ago, the housewife of the Chu family, but she was courting the Queen Mother?" ”

The Queen Mother suddenly remembered Xiao Chen, who entered the palace with Chu Yuanlang that day, and after a while, she frowned: "It's just an insatiable woman, and she can't be trusted by Ning Hou, what can she do?" ”

"Huh." With a light smile, he put down the teacup, slowly sat down on the Taishi chair, looked at the Queen Mother with a pair of eyes, and her face was calm: "Now that Chu Nian is not at home, if Zhen Ning Hou goes on the expedition, the Chu family will only be left with those guilty ministers recruited by Chu Nian, and the Queen Mother thinks that when the time comes, who will be in charge of the Chu family?" ”

The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead and fell into deep thought, and after a while, she spoke: "Xiao Chen? But what Xiao Chen wants, isn't it the prosperity of the Chu family? ”

But seeing that the dark eyes narrowed slightly, he stretched out his hand to support his chin lazily, and looked at the Queen Mother with a pair of gray-white eyes: "The Queen Mother has been in the harem for so many years, is it not clear what a little backhouse woman wants?" Don't forget, now, if Chu Nian returns home, no matter how much Xiao Chen's family protects the Chu family, Chu Nian will not look at her squarely. ”

"You mean ......"

"I heard that this Xiao Chen was the murderer who killed Chu Nian's biological mother, and since Chu Nian experienced that change, his temperament has changed greatly, Xiao Chen's parents and children were poisoned, and the death of the predecessor Zhen Ninghou ......"

As he spoke, Dark Rin's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were meaningful, "The rise and fall of the Chu family all happened after Chu Nian's temperament changed greatly, and the Queen Mother felt that who was secretly controlling these things?" Lord Wang? I don't think Lord Wang will be the one who can do such a big thing. ”

The queen was slightly dark, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at the dark rin and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Dark Rin smiled before saying, "I think that this matter will be handled by Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen will naturally know what to do, and what we need to do is to wait and see what happens." ”

The words fell, the teacup was empty, and he turned his eyes to look at the Queen Mother and said: "This is also an opportunity to exploit the strength of the prince, the Queen Mother, this opportunity should not be missed......"

……

Chu Nian waved his hand, a little black cat jumped into her arms, she leaned on the soft edge tiredly, her hands gently stroked the furry in her arms for a while, the kitten rolled in her arms, after a while, Xu was too comfortable, and fell asleep, this stall, Chu Nian picked up his clothes that seemed to be a little stinky, and frowned helplessly.

This is already her last change of clothes, and she has been served by someone since she was a child, and after becoming Chu Nian, Mother Zhu and Mei Xiang are busy behind her ass, and she can't do things like laundry.

At this stall, there was a sound of snow being trampled outside the door, Chu Nian looked up silently, and saw Li'er carefully pushing open the door, holding a plate of snacks and a small burden in her hand and walking in, Chu Nian looked at Li'er who came into the door with some surprise.

"Why are you here?"

Facing Chu Nian, Li'er seemed to be a little nervous, and she hesitated for a long time before she could barely say a word: "County master, slave maid ......"
