Chapter 186: Argument
King Ya said respectfully, his actions attracted the attention of the courtiers, and all the ministers showed a look of surprise, no one thought that this prince who had always been on the edge of imperial power would give away his hard-won military power, did he really care about power,
The prince was stunned at first, smiled randomly, and was very happy to take over the transfer of troops from the forbidden army outside the palace from King Ya, and King Ya's actions made the prince feel very satisfied.
This is not only because he has obtained the military power of 20,000 forbidden troops outside the palace, but more importantly, what King Ya did was tantamount to telling the crown prince that he had no ambition and would not pose any threat to his position as the crown prince in the upcoming battle for the crown prince in the near future.
Invisibly dispelled the prince's concerns about his potential threat, and the prince rarely showed a rare smile to this royal concubine who had never been in his eyes.
"The emperor's brother has a heart, the five-day appointment you made with the court is good, not to mention the whereabouts of the winner's son, but also to find out the troublesome forces behind him in one fell swoop, I have written down this credit, and when I return from the expedition to the west, this prince will definitely have a reward",
King Ya chuckled and hugged his fist at the prince,
"Thank you Brother Huang for that",
After the matter was stopped, after the three divisions of the East Palace and King Ya set an example, the civil and military officials seconded the proposal, clarified their positions, and supported the resolution of the imperial court to send troops to the west and encircle and suppress the winner's army.
There are only three important ministers in the main hall who have not yet made a stand, namely King En, Taiwei and ...... When the prime minister Yang Pavilion of the court, Taiwei's face was solemn, and he could see that he was still worried about something in his heart, and King Enwang was in deep thought, looking hesitant,
And Yang Pavilion was the same as before, outside the court, silent for a long time, without saying a word, at this moment his expression was slightly disappointed, and there was a trace of indescribable indignation in his eyes,
The three important ministers each had different expressions, which naturally attracted the attention of the emperor and the crown prince, and the prince first looked at the prince and asked the latter,
"Lord Taiwei, do you have any other objections to the decision to send troops to the western border?"
The latter's face was solemn, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and said slowly to the prince,
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, once we send troops to the west to encircle and suppress the winner's army, it will take at least a few months or even longer, which means that once the war starts, the 300,000 army will inevitably fall into the quagmire and cannot get out.
"Then it will be extremely dangerous to guard the empty border, and the border will be suddenly reduced by 300,000 defenders, and then the towns will take advantage of the opportunity to make chaos and invade the border, and we will not be able to quickly return to help, what should we do if this passive situation occurs?"
Taiwei expressed his concerns, the border transfer of troops will actually face the same problem as the Jingshi region, once the garrison is insufficient, the foreign races and the town jiedu envoys will inevitably take the opportunity to invade and threaten the rule of the dynasty.
The emperor was silent on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly observing the form above the court, and in the face of the Taiwei's questioning, the prince was not in a hurry, and looked very calm,
He was silent for a moment before replying to the latter,
"You can rest assured, this prince promises that during the period of sending troops to the western border, the envoys of the towns and the southern barbarian forces will never invade the border."
The prince swore an oath, and the prince was stunned when he heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the latter subconsciously,
"Why is that",
The latter explains,
"My transfer of troops was carried out in secret, the army practiced normally during the day, strengthened the city defenses, and secretly transferred away from the border at night, the outside world only knew that the prince returned to the court this time, but did not know that I brought 300,000 troops back from the border."
The prince swore that the latter's transfer of troops back this time was indeed carried out in secret, and even the emperor did not know when he transferred the army to Wuguan, and it was impossible for the envoys of the towns and the southern barbarian forces to know.
The ministers whispered, and they all praised the prince for taking precautions and acting carefully, and the prince sighed, he still wanted to say something more, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back,
He has been coordinating military affairs for many years, and he is much more cautious about military border defense than other courtiers.
Even if the crown prince's transfer of troops back was carried out in secret, it was impossible for such a practice to eliminate hidden dangers on the border of the dynasty, and to put it bluntly, it was just a trick to use a blind eye on the enemy forces.
Not to mention how long it can confuse the Nanban and the towns, once the enemy army sends troops to attack, the dynasty frontier will not be able to deal with it at all, but the Taiwei knows in his heart,
No matter what he says now, it is useless, he can see that the emperor and the crown prince have made up their minds to send troops to the west to exterminate the forces of the winner's army, even if they know that this dispatch of troops will cause hidden dangers on the border, they will not change their decision.
The prince no longer spoke, and the prince naturally didn't defend anything, but turned his head to look at King En,
"What about you, what do you mean",
King En's face was solemn, and he looked very embarrassed, and after being silent for a long time, he still hugged his fist at the latter,
"Brother Huang, I have thought about it again and again, but I still feel that it is not suitable to send troops to the western realm now",
"What",
As soon as King En's words fell, the entire court instantly fell silent,
Hearing King En's answer, the prince's face instantly became gloomy, and he looked at the latter and asked in a deep voice,
"When you wanted to commit a criminal in the imperial court, you did not do well, and now you oppose me to send troops to the west, what do you mean, do you still remember the old brotherly relationship in the past",
The prince asked coldly, King En's face was ugly, and when he heard this, he hurriedly explained to the latter,
"No, Brother Huang, you listen to me",
The latter's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he looked at King En's anger and said,
"I want to hear what you want to say."
King Eun let out a long sigh and looked at the prince randomly and explained,
"Brother Huang, I have once arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass and have had some contact with the Winner Army, and I still know a lot about this force."
King Eun paused and continued randomly,
"This army is highly disciplined, and it is deeply loved by the people in the western land, it is not easy to exterminate such an army, even if this army really exterminates them, the dynasty army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and by then the army will be sharply reduced, and the national strength will be lost, what do we use to resist the envoys of the towns, I am worried that this campaign will shake the foundation of the imperial power."
King En's words were serious, his words caused His Royal Highness and the ministers to think about it, I have to say that King En's remarks are quite reasonable, the winner army is powerful in the west, and the court will be considered a victory when it sends troops this time.
It was also a disastrous victory, and the rule of the dynasty after the Great War was bound to face great hidden dangers, but the crown prince had his own different views on this.
