Chapter 136: Self-recommendation
Liu Yuan pulled away the smile on his face and said with a solemn expression: "Did you really break with the prince like this?" β
Liu Yuan also saw the matter of the court this morning, but the two of them would never mention these things, and now that there are no outsiders, they have no scruples to mention it.
"Are you really going to side with Prince Gong?"
Wei Duyuan smiled: "You suddenly threw out two questions for me to answer which one is better?" β
He saw that Liu Yuan was looking at him helplessly, so he straightened up and said: "The prince can't hold his breath now, and he doesn't care about others anymore, he has no affection at all, and it doesn't mean to break with him, so I haven't stood on his side." β
Liu Yuan shook his head and smiled: "That's right." The Zhenbei General's Mansion is on his side, and he always thinks that you are also a person from his side, or that he has never opened his eyes to take a good look at you before. β
"He is too self-righteous, always thinking that only he will play with the minds of others, and over the years, he has become more and more arbitrary and can't listen to persuasion, and sooner or later he will ......"
Liu Yuan didn't finish his words, but everything was in plain sight. Sooner or later, the prince will break one day, how far can a stubborn person go? Needless to say.
"As for whether I'm on Prince Gong's side or not, what do you think?" Wei Duyuan laughed wantonly when he said this, "Do you think I will find such a person to restrain me?" β
Liu Yuan lowered his head slightly and took a sip of tea, and said, "Also, you have always been wise and far-sighted. β
Wei Du was far noncommittal, and continued: "Besides, do you think I will go against you? To put it mildly, you're my brother! β
Liu Yuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of what Wei Duyuan asked him a while ago, do you want that position? He replied hesitantly, but still said something.
It's just that the two more didn't say anything.
One is reluctant to force, the other is reluctant to say more. It's just that both of them know that no matter how the two choose this path, they will eventually leave a way out for each other.
Now......
Liu Yuan thought that Wei Du would not choose a powerless person like him, and some people even felt that he was delusional after listening to his remarks.
But he didn't laugh, he only said lightly at the time, he knew.
Liu Yuan seemed to have figured out something, and a hearty smile on his face: "What is a big rebellion, we have always been brothers, no matter what situation we are in, no matter how our identities change, we are!" β
Wei Duyuan smiled heartily, and nodded busily.
And Xiao Liu, who was listening to it, was not happy, stretched out his hand and pointed to himself and asked in a daze, "What about me?" β
Wei Duyuan and Liu Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "You will always be our little brother." β
When Xiaoliu heard this, he was satisfied, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
The next morning, the tone in the court suddenly changed, and most of them were in the main battle. Needless to say, Prince Gong still took the initiative to invite Ying.
Things finally developed in the direction expected by the emperor, he was quite satisfied with this, the expression on his face was obviously a little relaxed, and he asked casually: "Du Yuan, what do you say?" β
Wei Duyuan had already thought of a set of rhetoric, and directly stood up and asked for his life: "The minister is willing to relieve His Majesty's worries and protect the peace of my Dayu border!" β
This is the meaning of taking the initiative to ask for help.
The house was in an uproar!
But this is exactly what the emperor meant.
No, after listening to Wei Duyuan's words, the emperor's eyebrows immediately stretched, and he said several 'good' in a row, and said loudly: "It is worthy of being a good man of my Dayu, just to have such momentum." Okay, let him take a good look at the majesty of my Dayu! β
The emperor has not used this army since he set up this army that only obeys his own orders, and the Huns can be regarded as timely, just enough to train this army, and by the way, take the test for the results of Wei Duyuan's military training.
Moreover, this time the Huns came to attack, although they brought more people than before, but they were only 20,000, and the army formed by the emperor happened to have 20,000 people, which was really suitable.
At the beginning of the formation of this dragon marching army, the emperor thought that the army he wanted would no longer be large in people, and it would be fine.
This is also a kind of imperial balance.
If he really makes a big move to form an army of more than 100,000 people, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the court, and all forces will stand up to obstruct it, and maybe there will be something like the treasury is not full, the court can't afford to raise so many soldiers, and then there will be more soldiers and fewer people, and the land will be barren, and the people will inevitably complain.
And 20,000 elite soldiers are different, is it too much for the emperor to ask someone to protect him? If someone obstructs him, just put a big rebellious and ill-intentioned hat on him.
In this way, no one in the DPRK and China will dare to oppose it, and this army will also be built.
It's not easy to just do fine?
This army is not short of money, the weapons are also the best, and the soldiers are very hard, and now it is necessary to see the actual battle. But in an army that has not been formed for a long time, the soldiers are not all veterans, and they may not be sent to death when they go to the battlefield!
No, the people on Prince Gong's side seized on this matter and said, "Your Majesty, no." General Wei is still young, and he has never had the experience of going into battle to kill the enemy in the past, let alone bringing a new army that has just been formed this time? β
One of them seconded: "Yes, Your Majesty, besides, this army was originally used to protect Your Majesty, how can you send them into battle to kill the enemy?" β
One after another, many people came forward to second.
They just said that Prince Gong should go.
To say that Wei Duyuan and Prince Gong are also passable now, and there is a tacit understanding between the two, they are not their own people, but they are not enemies, but why does Prince Gong obstruct this matter in every way?
Wei Duyuan understood that this was Prince Gong's concern that he would become bigger.
Prince Gong wanted to borrow his hand to make it convenient, but he didn't want to see him become stronger, because he was not his ally, so maybe one day he would turn against the water.
But there is still a variable in the court today.
Wei Duyuan had a smile on his face, stood in the ranks of military attachΓ©s with his head slightly down, and only heard the emperor ask what the prince meant.
Sure enough, what the prince said today is different from yesterday, and his position is very clear: "Erchen thinks that General Wei will definitely be able to take on this great responsibility when he is young, after all, the tiger father has no dogs." β
"Besides, if the Long Marching Army can't even accept the mere 20,000 Huns, dare to ask, how can they better protect the safety of their father?" The crown prince glanced around the ministers standing in the hall, and continued, "Of course, the dragon march will definitely not live up to the expectations of his father, and the father sent the dragon march because his father loves the people like a son, and he can't bear to watch the people on the frontier suffer!" β
As soon as the prince's words came out, it really attracted the joy of the dragon's heart, and he was praised by the emperor again.
Isn't that, not only following the emperor's intentions to state his position but also patting the emperor's ass, can it be bad?
Prince Gong has always been disdainful of this, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, but he said on his face: "Young people really need to be sharpened, but Father, I must send someone who is familiar with the battlefield and proficient in the art of war to assist General Wei." β
Hearing this, the prince immediately continued: "Erchen thinks that the soldiers who guard the frontier are the most familiar with the battlefield, and as for those who are proficient in the art of war, General Wei must be very good since he was a child. It's just that a proper military advisor is needed. β
This is much more pleasant to say than Prince Gong, although it is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, but if you put it in another way, you will often receive different effects.
No, the emperor's brows that were originally wrinkled by Prince Gong's words eased a lot, and he felt that he was quite reasonable.
But who will be sent?
Everybody wants to get someone in, but there's only one spot.
"Father, my sons are willing to relieve my father's worries."
No one expected that Prince Shun, who had always been silent in the early court, would suddenly take the initiative to speak in the court, and what he didn't expect was that as soon as he opened his mouth, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire hall was quiet.
The prince didn't expect this stubble, and his face changed immediately.
He calculated very well, and the emperor was really dissatisfied with Prince Gong's performance today, so this face was naturally given to him. But who would have expected that he would bite the gold halfway, and before he could speak, this person would intercept his words.
Obviously, the emperor didn't expect Liu Yuan to take the initiative to invite Ying, but it was exactly what he wanted, and he didn't wait for anyone to say more, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay, I'm very pleased, my Dayu is really talented, Yuan'er, don't disappoint me!" β
Liu Yuan immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Wei Duyuan peeked at the prince with his spare eyes, and saw him standing at the emperor's head, his face was a little ugly, but he tried his best to endure it, it was really funny.
The prince's abacus played well, where did he think that Liu Yuan would come out and insert a bar. In fact, they hadn't discussed it earlier, and he was surprised that Liu Yuan could stand up, but everything was so natural.
Liu Yuan is the one who wants to earn that position, and it's time to come out. And in order to prevent the prince and Prince Gong's two parties from attacking him, Liu Yuan will also take the initiative to ask Ying.
In this way, he is also fortunate to have fewer constraints on the battlefield.
Of course, in the future, the emperor still promised the prince some benefits, but he still wouldn't let him interfere in the matter of the dragon marching army.
As for Xu Shun Prince Liuyuan, he probably just thought that he had no support from his mother's family behind him, and he didn't form gangs, and he had no power or power, but in the end, he was his own child, and he was only able to rely on himself, and he was not afraid of any second thoughts.
And Liu Yuan caught the emperor's thoughts before he dared to recommend himself in the court.
Wei Pan thought about the emperor's intentions, and Princess Shouchun also mentioned it to him, but he didn't expect that Wei Duyuan would take the initiative to go to the frontier to fight the enemy regardless of the two factions of the prince and Prince Gong, which can be regarded as pushing himself to the center of imperial power.
In the future, he will only sink deeper and deeper.
Where did Wei Pan want to see such a scene happen? He couldn't help but feel a little resentful about the crown prince, and he really didn't care about the bloodline of their Zhenbei General's Mansion at all.
Princess Shouchun was only silent when she heard this, one is the royal brother who has loved her since she was a child, and the other is her husband and child, what can she say?
Besides, she was also very powerless, and could only watch the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the prince's faction drift apart.
