said that the person who recommended it was not the second prince, let alone the third prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had nothing to do with Mu Yi.

"Hao'er also wants to recommend it, don't you like to fight?" Emperor Xia Yuxuan asked thoughtfully, twisting his long beard in his hand.

"Father, in the past, the sons and daughters only wanted to convince people with virtue, thinking that my Great Heavenly Dynasty was mighty and powerful, and if I gave livestock money and grain, these Tibetan countries would be grateful to Dade and no longer invade my Great Xia land. But he didn't think that the people of Fanbang would not obey the teaching, and they would take revenge. Today, the sons suddenly realized that they were wrong, and hoped that their father would give their sons and sins. After that, he couldn't kneel for a long time.

Suddenly, all the ministers in the hall had strange expressions on their faces, some were surprised, some were relieved, and some nodded and smiled, each with their own thoughts.

"It's rare that Hao'er can figure this out. The ancients said: 'It's not too late to make amends'. You are also thinking about the country, and you have not made a big mistake, what a crime. Hurry up and tell me who you recommend?" Emperor Xia Yuxuan was also very pleased, he knew that the matter of abolishing the crown prince was ominous, if the prince could really understand this, he naturally didn't have to bother. It's just that whether the prince has really figured it out or not won't be able to see for a while.

"The person recommended by my father and son is Mu Yi, a guerrilla general who made great achievements in breaking the city during the Southern Expedition. The prince got up and said.

Although Mu Yi expected that the person he said was himself, when he heard his name, his little heart couldn't help but beat.

After the crown prince finished speaking, the second prince's face was a little uncertain, while the third prince's expression remained unchanged, and the corners of his mouth kept smiling.

Before the emperor, the eunuch summoned Mu Yi to come to the court, but he had already thought about using him. It's just that the prince recommended Mu Yi, which also surprised him slightly, inadvertently, Xia Yuxuan glanced at the second prince Xia Qingmang, after all, Mu Yi was fighting with the second prince last time.

When the second prince saw his father looking at him, he thought he wanted to listen to his opinion, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "What the eldest brother said is very true, when Mu Yi and his sons broke through the new Song City, he was not only quite strategic, but also extremely brave in leading the army to attack the city, and he must be a material that can be made." ”

"Your Majesty, this Mu Yi is just a small six-rank guerrilla general, what qualifications can he command the army, and the general will not accept it. "This Shi Hu really doesn't have any brains, and he will say whatever comes to mind.

"General Shi misunderstood, Mu Yi is indeed incapable of being a commander, I just recommended him to be a general in the army, not let him lead the three armies. The prince laughed.

"Don't back down yet. Xia Wenyuan saw him talking nonsense again, and glared at him hurriedly, feeling helpless. This Shi Hu is extremely brave in battle, and he is his right-hand man, but he speaks too straight and offends many people.

"It doesn't matter, since Shi Aiqing is not satisfied with this Mu Yi, she must be willing to recommend herself. "The emperor knows Shi Hu very well, he cherishes talents, and he likes people who can fight well.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins. If His Majesty orders the ministers to lead the army to drive away the thieves, the ministers are willing to make a military order, and if they can't drive the barbarians and behead the thieves, they are willing to offer the head of the master. Shi Hu walked to the front of the stairs with a big grin, and said with an urn sound.

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Where is Mu Yi?" ”

This voice is not loud, but the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the momentum is majestic. Mu Yi was only in the court for the second time, and he was still wandering outside the world, and when he heard the emperor call his name, he panicked for a while, and he tripped and fell to the ground while walking, and fell down the stairs with a rolling belt, and his head was blank all of a sudden.

"Poof. The third prince couldn't help laughing, but there was no noise in the court, and he quickly covered his mouth again. The ministers of the palace, those who were blocked in the back row bowed their heads and laughed silently, and those in the front row facing the emperor were so red that the corners of their mouths kept twitching. The second prince was full of helplessness, and the prince opened his mouth to smile, but he never made a sound, and his self-cultivation was excellent.

His Majesty the Emperor was also amused, he didn't care about it, he looked up and laughed. The haze of war was swept away at this moment. Mu Yi's ears were so ashamed that his face was so red that he could drip blood.

"Mu Aiqing, please get up, please get up. Xia Yuxuan was still laughing out of breath, and the great eunuch Wang De hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat him on the back, and then he eased up.

The third prince's eyes rolled and he said, "Father hasn't laughed like this for a long time. Not to mention Mu Yi's ability to lead troops to fight, just the ability to make his father happy, he will definitely be a lucky general. ”

"Luan'er is right. It's been a long time since I've been so happy. The emperor finally relieved himself, sat up hurriedly, and regained his momentum of the Ninety-Five: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?" ”

Shi Hu looked at Mu Yi disdainfully, and did not speak. The other ministers also looked at each other, and they really didn't know how to speak.

Xia Yuxuan saw that no one spoke, and said to the first person in his right hand: "Zhao Xiang, I don't know what you think about this." ”

That Zhao Cheng Prime Minister crane hairy childish, about sixty or so around, has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, he heard the emperor's roll call, did not hurry out of the column, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen only listened to the opinions of your colleagues, and there are 10,000 perfect strategies in his heart." ”

The emperor said with interest: "Zhao Xiang just talk about it." ”

Prime Minister Zhao Cheng helped the wat board in the armrest and straightened the whole court uniform: "Now that the Tocharian army is scattered into multiple streams, it is no longer possible to quell the chaos by leading the army alone." Why didn't Your Majesty order General Liu of the Zhiwei Army, General Shi of the Xuanjia Army, and this General Mu to go together. Divide with the Zhennan army and encircle and suppress on all sides before forcing the Spitfire thief army to retreat. ”

"The prime minister is right, but who among these people is the main and who is the deputy?" the emperor bowed.

"General Li is the general of Zhenguo, so he is naturally the commander. General Shi is also a hussar general of the second grade, and can be a deputy marshal. Although General Mu's official position is not large, he can fight well, so His Majesty might as well give him an elite army and act alone. Wouldn't it be the best way to deal with the scattered stray soldiers? ”

"What the prime minister said is very much in line with me, and it is not a loss to my court. Xia Yuxuan said with satisfaction.

The ministers in the hall also admired this Prime Minister Zhao, who was not offended on three sides, and was praised by His Majesty, to be able to be the prime minister, it was really an old fox.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Xiang's discussion is very wonderful, and Weichen admires it in his heart. However, it is not only a westward expedition, but also a supervising army, acting as an assistant for military affairs on behalf of His Majesty. It was Zheng Wenqi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who spoke.

"What Zheng Aiqing said is very true, I don't know if Aiqing has a candidate. ”

Zheng Wenqi is about forty years old, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and he is not easy to match at first glance: "Back to Your Majesty, the position of supervising the army should be assumed by the prince." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the prince, naturally cannot take on the post of supervising the army. Although His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not make any achievements in the last southern expedition, he already knew everything about military affairs. Why not let the second prince take on the post of supervising the army, there will be no problem. ”

The second prince was also busy at the bottom of the stairs and said, "The son is willing to take on the heavy responsibility again and share the worries of his father." This time we will definitely be able to win in order to wash away the shame of the southern expedition. ”

The emperor twisted his long beard in his hands, but did not answer.

Seeing that his father was silent, the third prince glanced at the court, and immediately a minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, Minister Liu Yanzheng thinks it can't. The second prince lost troops in the last southern expedition, but failed to occupy a single piece of land, which can be described as a complete defeat, and this time he should replace other princes to supervise the army. ”

Xia Yuxuan nodded and said, "Then I don't know who Liu Aiqing is?"

"The minister recommends His Royal Highness the Third Prince. I want His Royal Highness the Third Prince to write a martial arts strategy, not only to write a book, but also to be strong in martial arts. His Majesty also often said that the three princes were brilliant and brilliant, and the post of supervising the army was none other than the three princes. "This Liu Yanzheng is a secretary of the ministry, and his words are also very weighty. He was tall, but he was quite thin, and he looked only about thirty years old, and he was able to climb to the high position of Shangshu, and no one believed him if he had no backer.

The third prince, Xia Qingluan, also stepped forward in time and said: "Thanks to Lord Liu's recommendation, my son is willing to take on the post of supervising the army and share the worries of my father." ”

Xia Yuxuan smiled, and he also had this intention, so he nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, no. "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu *** hurriedly came out of the ranks, he was over the age of six, and he was out of breath after walking a few steps.

"Zhang Aiqing, slow down, my craftsman is still pointing at you. "Emperor Xia's right hand is stretched out, and the meaning of care is very strong. The craftsman department has always been directly governed by the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, and is regarded by Xia Yuxuan as the foundation of the country, so he is most concerned.

"Your Majesty Xie," *** took a breath, "Although His Royal Highness the Third Prince is brilliant in literature and strong in martial arts, he does not have much research on the art of war. Weichen recommended His Royal Highness the Four Princes. Although His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is young, he has not yet been crowned king. But since he was a child, he liked the art of war, and His Majesty often praised him for having the style of a general, and intended to teach him to be a general in the future. Why not take this opportunity to go into battle with the army. ”

"Your Majesty, what Zhang Shangshu said is very ridiculous, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is only twelve years old, how can he lead the army to fight. Liu Yanzheng, the secretary of the ministry, was busy.

"The minister also thought that the fourth prince was young and could not join the army, and the second prince was the most appropriate, who was familiar with military affairs and the art of war, and was older enough to lead the army. ”

"Your Majesty"

"Enough. Xia Yuxuan frowned and drank coldly, and the ministers naturally hurriedly shut up.

"I don't know what the prime minister wants?" the emperor pondered for a long time, then looked up and asked Zhao Hong.

"Back to Your Majesty, all the princes are all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and they are all qualified for the post of supervising the army, Your Majesty can choose any person, so why worry. "This Prime Minister Zhao Cheng is really good at kicking ball, and he actually kicked this problem to the emperor!

Xia Yuxuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it, the expedition here should be dominated by three generals." In the last southern expedition, Mang'er didn't listen to the words of the two generals, and delayed the fighter, which led to failure. In this westward expedition, there will be no supervising army. I hope that all the generals will work together to protect our country. ”

When the second prince heard the emperor say that his last southern expedition was unfavorable, his face was really unbearable, and his face was full of chagrin.

"Spread my will, this western expedition, the general Liu Yuanshan is the main commander, and the hussar general Shi Hu is the deputy commander. Mu Yi was promoted to the rank of general of Zhengsi Zhongwu, leading 20,000 elite soldiers, who could act freely without restraint. From tomorrow, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army will be 400,000 Weijun and 200,000 Xuanjia Army, and the Western Expedition will quell the chaos. Xia Wenyuan, the general of the protectorate of the country, led an army of 400,000 troops to guard the Beijing division. ”

"Yes. ”

"If there is nothing else to do, let me retire today. Xia Yuxuan was tired all night.

When the great eunuch Wang De saw that no one was playing, he shouted to retreat from the court and led the emperor out of the palace. The ministers waited for the emperor to leave the main hall before withdrawing from the court one after another.

Mu Yi stupidly occupied most of the day, and only reacted when he saw that everyone was gone. The three princes passed by him, and they all raised their hands and patted him on the shoulder, making Mu Yi dizzy, and he didn't know what he meant.

When the ministers in the hall were gone, Mu Yi dared to walk out of the palace gate, but he saw that there was still a minister wandering outside the door, seeing Mu Yi coming out, he looked left and right, and walked quickly to Mu Yi's side.

"Congratulations to General Mu for being promoted to four levels in a row, and he can still lead the army alone, he has such an honor at a young age, and his future will definitely be immeasurable. "The person who came is Zhou Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhou Mao is dignified and a beautiful man. Mu Yi was quite strange when he saw him come to congratulate him. When he went to the second prince's mansion for a banquet, he saw this Zhou Mao. But in the palace, this secretary of the Ministry of Rites did not speak, but now he was the first to come to congratulate.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great appreciation for General Mu, but there are many people and it is inconvenient to come and go. In the future, if you need the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please ask me, and His Highness will do his best to help. Zhou Mao whispered beside Mu Yi.

Only then did Mu Yi understand that this Ministry of Rites Shangshu was actually ***, not a henchman of the second prince. Thinking of Yue Ting's words again, he hurriedly whispered: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your appreciation, I will definitely repay the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today." ”

When Mao heard this this week, he said goodbye with satisfaction.

Mu Yi walked from the gate of the Taihe Palace to the palace gate, but only a few hundred meters, there were more than 20 ministers who came one after another to congratulate him. When he entered the palace, it took Mu Yi less than half an hour to go all the way, and Mu Yi walked for half an hour all the way back.

As the saying goes: "It's a blessing not a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." "Mu Yi, a small strategist, was originally humiliated in the army, but he inadvertently made great achievements and was involved in this undercurrent whirlpool, which is really a blessing and a curse.
