Chapter 024: Before Leaving for Werewolves
Death-like silence shrouded the imperial study, no one spoke, everyone was thinking, as the king of a country, what he was most afraid of was this time, no one admonished means that no one cared about this matter, the monarch sighed, and said, "On weekdays, everyone is-for-tat for some trivial matters, but now in the face of foreign enemies, but they don't say a word, why is this?
Prime Minister Zhang Cheng arched his hand and said, "Guoguojun, there is an interesting thing in the Buddhist scriptures, saying that the Buddha is to cross the eagle, not let it eat meat, cut his own meat to feed the eagle, in order to educate the eagle, but has never succeeded, according to the minister's opinion, such barbarians, only conquer by force, do not hurt it, he will not stop there, just think about the werewolf, what benevolence and righteousness can be said?"
The monarch nodded, turned to Prince Duanmu and said, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you today? Why don't you say a word?"
Duanmu Cheng saluted and said, "Two years ago, on the order of the monarch, I led the troops to the wolf castle, the place of the werewolves, and had a very good relationship with the king of the wolf clan, and discussed with the king of the wolf clan, and cultivated for eternity, but I don't know what the reason is this time, why do they want to commit my northeast border, there must be a reason, according to the minister's opinion, since the king of the wolf clan is reconciled, no matter what the reason, you should first meet with the king of the wolf clan to further understand the reason, the person who leads the troops, the most taboo is that the division is nameless, the division is nameless, this is unrighteousness!"
Hearing this, the monarch nodded, but how did he decide? Prime Minister Zhang Cheng wants to conquer by force, and Duanmu Chengyi values peace, how should this be good? He turned to the other prince and said, "Third brother, tell me what you think!"
The monarch has three brothers, the eldest brother is Duanmu Chengyi, the monarch is the third, the third Duanmu Chengsan, but this prince generally only asks about political affairs, and is accompanied by wine all day long, even now, he is still drunk and smoked, seeing the monarch ask him, he said in a daze, "Hey, if you want to fight, what's the use of chirping crookedly here, can you tell the werewolf away?"
When Prime Minister Zhang heard this, he nodded, and said, "The third prince is reasonable, even if we convince the werewolves now, what's the use? One day, they will bite us in turn, in my opinion, send 20,000 troops, and eradicate them all with lightning speed, so as to prevent future troubles!"
Qin Luyao said, "What the Prime Minister said is extremely true, now that Qianfeng City no longer exists, there will be a battle with the Heavenly Star Kingdom sooner or later, and now the werewolves are coming, after all of them are eliminated, the northeast of my Yuanyue Kingdom will be peaceful, and we can concentrate our forces to confront the Heavenly Star Kingdom!"
When Scar saw it, he was about to step forward to say something, but was stopped by Duanmu Chengyi, and the two didn't say a word.
The monarch nodded and said, "In this case, okay, let's send 20,000 troops, and use a month to annihilate them, Lord Qin, this time to send troops, with you as the commander, the two royal brothers and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng each sent 4,000 troops, and the insufficient part will be supplemented by the Ministry of War, and it will be unified under the command of Lord Qin of the Ministry of War, and set off on the same day, everyone will go back and prepare!"
After the monarch gave the order, after Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, Qin Luyao, and Duanmu Chengyi got the order, they all retreated, Duanmu Chengsan was very drunk, stood up crookedly, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the monarch, and the monarch said, "Third brother, why are you drunk like this? This is the imperial study, the widow wanted to ask you, but you were drunk like this!"
Duanmu Chengsan opened his eyes slightly, smiled, and said, "What does the monarch want to ask?"
Guojun said, "Big brother has always liked to admonish, but what's wrong today? Prime Minister Zhang and Qin Luyao ridiculed him so much, and he didn't reply, he didn't want to send troops to attack the werewolves, why didn't he oppose it?"
Duanmu Chengsan didn't seem to listen to the monarch, he looked intently at the big plaque of "Zhongzheng Renhe" on the monarch's dragon chair, and sighed, "The monarch really has the vision, hanging such a big plaque in this imperial study, the righteous person is impartial." Benevolence, benevolence and harmony, it is really beautiful, magnificent!"
The monarch shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the widow made his courtyard half smaller, does he hold a grudge?"
The two are almost talking to themselves, the monarch is talking about political affairs, and his younger brother Duanmu Chengsan is talking about the plaque of "Zhongzheng Renhe".
The monarch sighed and said, "Well, it seems that the widow is really going to become a lonely person, look at it, how drunk he is, how can he solve the problems for his brother?"
Duanmu Chengsan staggered forward, smiled, and said, "What do you mean by this, am I really drunk?"
The monarch said, "Look at you, you can't even walk steadily, and you're not drunk yet?
Duanmu Chengsan laughed and said, "It seems that he is drunk but not drunk, everyone in the world is drunk, I am drunk alone, what the monarch sees and hears, is it true? I am not my name, my name is not my name, what does the monarch think?"
Duanmu Cheng's words couldn't help but make people think deeply, after hearing this, the monarch didn't react for a long time, but he smiled and said, "Monarch, aren't you going to escort me back to the house? Why haven't you called someone yet? Do you want to keep me in your imperial study for the night?"
The monarch hurriedly called someone to escort Duanmu Chengsan back to the house, but he sat under the plaque of "Zhongzheng Renhe", looking blankly, this is the place he goes to every day, why didn't he take a serious look at it?
Duanmu Chengyi returned to the mansion, and before he could speak, Scar started nagging, "Your Highness, I really don't understand, what the hell is going on? What's wrong with you today? You obviously know that sending troops to werewolves is extremely dangerous, and you and the wolf king have been friends for two years, why don't you dissuade you?"
Duanmu Chengyi's face was extremely grim, he smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Do you think my words are useful? Look at what the monarch thinks of me when I come back from Qianfeng City?
Duanmu Chengyi's words made Scar's back cold, he shook his head, and said excitedly, "No, Your Highness, you were born and died, always and everywhere for the sake of Yuanyue Kingdom, and the monarch will not doubt you because of these little things!"
Duanmu Chengyi sighed and said, "Accompanying the monarch is like accompanying the tiger, once the monarch loses confidence in you and loses interest, everything you do is superfluous. ”
"But what about the wolf king? Do you really want to kill all the werewolves?" Scar has personally witnessed the relationship between the werewolf and the prince, and personally participated in the wolf war two years ago.
Duanmu Chengyi sighed and said, "This time the king will not go to the wolf clan. He carefully took out a yellow silk handkerchief from his arms, opened it respectfully, took out the golden wolf tooth, handed it to Scar, and said, "You take the prince's army of four thousand, go out with Qin Luyao, and after meeting the wolf queen, give him this thing, ask about the situation, I hope you can calm down the war!"
Scar knew very well in his heart that once the war started, there would be casualties on both sides, and if the war could be quelled, it would naturally be beneficial to both the Yuan Yue Kingdom and the wolf clan, so he respectfully put away the wolf teeth and came to the vegetable garden side by side with the prince.
