Chapter 9:-for-tat

"Compared to the Marquis of Dingyuan, I am nothing. ”

Yang Ding glanced at Wang Hao lightly, and his expression was quite arrogant.

He was born in a noble family, with pure blood, and has always looked down on ordinary princes like Marquis Dingyuan, although he served under the latter's account before, but the two have always had disagreements, especially after being almost ruined by Marquis Dingyuan.

Fortunately, in the end, Yan Ninghou came forward to let the plan go ahead as usual, otherwise Yang Ding would not have had a chance to make a great contribution, because the relationship between him and Dingyuanhou in this matter fell to the freezing point, how could he have a good face for Wang Hao at this time.

"Compared to my father, the general is indeed a little worse. ”

Seeing this scene, Wang Hao couldn't guess that his father and Yang Ding had made a feud, and his tone became stiff after knowing that he was powerless to change.

"As far as I know, now is not the day to report on duty, and the general should not return to Beijing early. ”

It is a felony to return to Beijing early, Wang Hao grabbed Yang Ding's sore foot and showed his edge.

"Little Marquis doesn't know, General Yang's return to Beijing this time is related to a big figure in Confucianism, and the incident is suddenly too late to report, and there is indeed a war breaking out at the border pass of the Western Regions, and the edict of the eldest brother should have arrived in the Western Regions by now. ”

Before Yang Ding could respond to the Seventh Prince, he explained with a smile that he had already learned that Yang Ding and the Marquis of Dingyuan were not on good terms, and he was not surprised by the appearance of this scene.

"Confucian bigwigs, isn't it?"

Wang Hao's heart moved.

The Three Princes and the Sacrificial Wine are both Confucian leaders, but the Three Princes, as important ministers of the imperial court, will never know the law and break the law, so the identity of this Confucian big man is already obvious.

"How can Yang Ding have anything to do with sacrificial wine, could it be that the person who gave him the order was not the master?"

Wang Hao thought of a lot of things at once, but he was still silent on his face, and there was nothing abnormal.

"General Yang guards the Western Regions, and the barbarians in the Western Regions don't dare to cross the border at all, why is there a sudden war this time?"

Having said that, in fact, Wang Hao already knew what had happened at the border pass.

According to Yang Ding's statement, the barbarians of the Western Regions suddenly launched an attack and caught the border garrison by surprise, but fortunately, he reacted in time, struggled to block the invasion, and killed one of the princes of the barbarians in one fell swoop.

This credit is very great, the barbarian royal family is scarce, but everyone is a genius, Wang Hao also knows that the one who died in the hands of Yang Ding is the third prince of the barbarians, who is deeply valued by the barbarian emperor, and there are signs of becoming the crown prince.

All of a sudden, it was equivalent to the death of a future barbarian emperor, and such a record alarmed the government and the opposition, so some people in the court began to propose that Yang Ding be made a marquis.

But Wang Hao knew that this was not the case.

Yang Ding first learned the traces of the three barbarian princes through intelligence, and then deliberately used tens of thousands of border guards as bait to attract the three barbarian princes to take the bait, and when the barbarian army was killed and wounded, Yang Ding suddenly led the army to appear and lock in the victory.

This is indeed a victory, but in addition to killing the three princes of the barbarians, the Celestial Empire has no record at all, and tens of thousands of soldiers who were used as bait suffered heavy casualties, but only hundreds of people survived, in order not to be caught, Yang Ding will also give the only remaining hundreds of people to death after the victory, and the insidious and vicious heart can be seen.

This is also the reason why Wang Guang opposes Yang Ding's marquis, how can such a person with such a heart become a prince of the Celestial Empire?

"This matter is not top secret, the barbarian invasion of the Western Regions is very sudden, if I could have gotten the news earlier, I wouldn't have ended up in such a field. ”

Yang Ding pretended to be remorseful.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince on the side immediately spoke: "We have made a truce with the barbarians of the Western Regions, but they have reversed their word and suddenly violated the treaty to invade, and the general has sent troops very quickly, otherwise the losses of the Celestial Empire will be even greater." ”

Obviously, the Seventh Prince doesn't know the truth yet, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to excuse Yang Ding like this.

Wang Hao smiled coldly when he heard this, and then said: "But the news I got is not the case, does General Yang mind hearing another explanation?"

Yang Ding's face changed slightly, he didn't know if Wang Hao really knew about the border pass, after all, the Marquis of Dingyuan knew everything about this matter.

"The court will soon give a conclusion on this matter, and the little marquis bothered. ”

Yang Ding snorted coldly, and then left directly.

At this time, even if the Seven Princes didn't know how unclear they were about the battle at the border pass, they guessed that the truth might not be the same as what Yang Ding said, and there must be something hidden in it.

"Little Marquis, the affairs of the DPRK and China are very involved, and Yang Ding's ancestors are the founding generals after all. ”

The Seventh Prince mentioned a little and didn't say much.

Even if there is really a hidden situation in the border war, the DPRK and the central government will still pretend to turn a blind eye.

Of course, Wang Hao understood what the Seventh Prince meant, so he didn't plan to tell the truth now.

The banquet did not last too long, Yang Ding and the Seven Princes left early, and Wang Hao also chose to leave soon after.

"It is not an easy thing to seal the marquis, Yang Ding's military exploits are enough, but the cultivation is lacking, if you really want to be the marquis, you have to wait for him to break through to the Seven Star Realm, and it will not be able to become a climate for the time being, no accident The father's twists and turns should have been sent to Shangjing quickly, with him opening his mouth, Yang Ding's time for the marquis has to be delayed. ”

Wang Hao thought that at this stage, Yang Ding was not enough to pose a threat to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the attitude of sacrificing wine made him a little puzzled.

"Confucianism implements benevolent governance and pays attention to moderation, while the army represented by the prince wants to expand the territory, which is destined to have a relationship with each other, but why does the sacrificial wine look at Yang Ding differently?"

Wang Hao couldn't figure out the reason.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and a team of soldiers in armor directly stopped Wang Hao.

"Dare to ask if it's Wang Hao's little marquis?"

One of them spoke, as if he were the leader.

"Forbidden Army?"

Through the armor on these people, Wang Hao had already guessed their identities.

The forbidden army is a royal guard, and almost no one can be mobilized, and there are not many people in the capital who have this ability.

"Little Marquis, please come with me, we have no malicious intent. ”

After the leader of the forbidden army finished speaking, he led the way in front, not giving Wang Hao a chance to refuse at all.

Wang Hao sneered, and then followed, he wanted to see what these people had in mind.

"This is going to the Imperial City?"

Wang Hao became more and more puzzled in his heart, if no one was summoned and no one was allowed to enter the imperial city, could it be that these forbidden troops were sent by Emperor Tianwu?

Soon a majestic wall appeared in front of him, imposing, like a prehistoric beast coiling over the earth.

This is the Imperial City of the Han Dynasty, and the entire city wall is made of meteorites outside the sky, which is impregnable.

"Little Hou Ye, please. ”

The leader motioned for Wang Hao to enter the city, but the latter stood still, unmoved.

"I don't dare to enter the Imperial City. ”

Wang Hao smiled, at this time he had already understood the thoughts of these people.

If he enters the imperial city now, I am afraid that a large number of forbidden troops will immediately rush up and directly capture him for trespassing, or even execute him on the spot.
