As he spoke, the third prince quietly observed the emperor's reaction with his peripheral vision. He saw that the emperor nodded from time to time, and seemed to be very satisfied with his plan, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Once the royal family goes to war with the Holy Sect, the second brother will be out of the game, and it will not be in vain that I have been planning for so long. ", he thought excitedly.

Even if he had always been calm and cautious, his body was trembling slightly at this time, and the third prince tried his best to control his body and not let himself lose his temper.

The long-standing goal is about to be realized, not to mention that the reward is the throne that everyone dreams of, at this moment, no one can still maintain the ancient well in his heart, and it is quite rare that the third prince can still control himself at this time.

"Third child, what you said is quite reasonable. The emperor said, a smile appeared on the face of the third prince, and when he thought he was about to succeed, he suddenly heard the emperor's words.

"However, let's wait a little longer for the dispatch of troops. ”

"What!Wait?", the third prince was shocked, and even Reinhardt, who was holding the wheelchair, couldn't help but exert his strength to offset the wheelchair by a certain distance.

"Father, the church has been acting more and more arrogantly all this time, and if it were only the church, the church would not have paid attention to it. Negotiations without the backing of force are just a flash in the pan and do not work in the slightest. If you want to contain the Holy Sect at the negotiation table, the dispatch of the city guards is indispensable. The third prince hurriedly said, he didn't know what was wrong with Grievous the Great, couldn't he even see such a simple truth?

The Great Emperor coughed lightly twice, shook his head, and said, "Unauthorized use of sword soldiers is a bad omen. It's almost the day of Sophia and Reinhardt's wedding, and I don't want to make waves and ruin this wedding during this time. ”

When the third prince heard this, his heart was even more angry. "Do you love Sophia more than this country?", he thought with annoyance.

"Father, in this country, our royal family can't afford to wait any longer. The Third Prince shouted, "When we have nothing to do and nothing to do, the Holy Sect is not so idle. ”

"They will take the opportunity to bulldoze more nobles, loot more land and wealth, and expand their influence among more commoners. It can be said that with every minute and second, the strength of the Holy Sect becomes stronger and stronger, and the strength of our Violet Royal Family weakens more and more. Even if you use the city guards after a while, it will be too late. ”

"At that time, there will be a risk that the world will be upside down and the country will change hands!"

"It's only half a month, and there won't be such a serious result. ", the emperor said nonchalantly.

"But my father ......"

"Well, I've made up my mind, so don't say any more. The emperor shook his hand impatiently and motioned for the third prince to step down.

The third prince knelt on the ground for a long time, and seeing that the emperor had never changed his determination, he finally got up from the ground trembling and left the flower room with a full of loss and pain.

Reinhardt looked at the back of the Third Prince, Xiao Suo, and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is reasonable, in fact, your sending troops will not affect my wedding with Sophia.

"As for the bad omen, I come from a military background and don't believe in such rumors. ”

"Haha, after all, it's a big day for you and Sophia, and it's also the most important day in Sophia's life, and I don't want your wedding to have any accidents. ", the Emperor said with a smile.

"As for the Holy Religion, it's just a chicken, a dog. The land, the wealth, and the property they have plundered these days have only been deposited with them for the time being. They have gained a lot, but they will not be able to increase their strength much in a short time. As long as he defeats the Holy Sect one day, everything they have plundered will obediently return to my hands. ”

"I see. Reinhardt said suddenly, and he said with some concern: "It's just that it is said that the Holy Sect is extremely powerful now, and it may not be easy to completely eradicate them. ”

"About this......", the Emperor suddenly took Reinhardt's right hand, "Rontide, you are half of my son, can I trust you?", he asked.

"What are you talking about! I have already sworn by the honor of my family that I will always be loyal to you. Long Taide hurriedly knelt down and swore an oath.

"Good!good!", the emperor happily said two good words in a row, he pulled up Long Taide, and soothed: "I naturally believe in you, and it is precisely because I trust you that I am so confident." ”

"If the situation really comes to an imminent point, there is no point of recovery. You lead the northern army southward, and at the same time I recall the northern legions, coupled with the strength of the city guards, how can these three powerful forces be resisted by the Holy Sect, and when the time comes, it will be like pouring ice and snow in the soup, and it will be easy to defeat the Holy Sect. ”

Only then did Long Taide know that the emperor had such an idea. When he thought about it, it was indeed a good idea, and it was the essence of the art of war.

However, the third prince did not think so, and he thought that it was a stupid plan.

When he returned to the palace in despair, he was visited by Duke Luke, so the third prince told Duke Luke about his conversation with the Emperor.

"Could this be Your Majesty's strategy to kill people with a sword?", Duke Luke analyzed, "These local nobles have always disobeyed the royal discipline, acted arrogantly and recklessly, and disobeyed the royal law, causing the people's livelihood to wither and the people to resentment everywhere. The royal family has always wanted to punish them, but firstly, there is no good excuse and name, and secondly, these nobles have the protection of the Elders' House, and small punishments cannot cure their muscles and bones, so the kings of the past generations have not done anything. ”

"But if you let the Holy Sect eradicate these local nobles, and the royal family will eradicate the Holy Sect again, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone?" the more Duke Luke said, the more he felt reasonable.

"Your Majesty has always acted wisely, and he is not so mediocre that there is only one explanation for it. ”

"It's just...... Your Majesty is so sure that you can defeat the Holy Sect in one fell swoop?", but as he spoke, Duke Luke was puzzled again, and he thought about it in his heart for a while, and he couldn't think of the certainty of victory.

"Your Majesty is not a gambler who gambles with red eyes, and he will never bet on the kingdom as a bet, I think your majesty will not make a move without eighty percent certainty. Duke Luke said suspiciously.

"Hmph, I guess he's sure it's Reinhardt. ", the third prince snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"That's what I'm worried about, the old man shouldn't be clever but be mistaken by the smart. ”
