Chapter 777: Obey or Die
Thinking about the years when he was the king of Chen, he was not such a character at all, no matter whether he could succeed or not, as long as it was for the good of the people, he must fight hard.
But after he became the crown prince, his mentality changed a lot.
He began to pay attention to fame, and he took more things into account, although he still wanted to do things for the people, but he was somewhat constrained, and he no longer had the impulse of the year.
He originally thought that as long as he gave Dongting some more time, they would definitely be able to make the right choice, so that they could avoid a vicious battle, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so rampant that they didn't take them seriously at all.
If the other party is unkind, then there is no need for him to talk about righteousness.
I was about to send someone to find a few courtiers who were close to me to discuss countermeasures, but I heard someone come to report that Lu Baichuan and his family had entered the palace.
The little eunuch said anxiously: "Mrs. Lu went directly to the emperor, but General Lu came to our side." ”
It's going to be asked on both sides.
The prince suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, the attitude of Lu Baichuan and his wife before was to fight, and they were suppressed by him, but now they still have to come to this point.
If he hadn't been hesitating, Zhu Lian wouldn't have died, and Kang Tanhua wouldn't have to suffer this catastrophe.
"Let him in."
The prince waved his hand, and he didn't look very good.
Lu Baichuan quickly came in, and after saluting, he was just about to speak, but was interrupted by the prince: "The palace knows what you want to say, but the treasury is empty and the grain and grass are insufficient, and it can only support the army's consumption for half a year at most. ”
This is what he has been hesitating about before, although he has not officially ascended the throne, but all the power is in his hands, and there are more things to worry about.
And now it's not just a matter of hoarding grain, these old emperors are in power, the management of the army is abandoned, and the soldiers led by other generals are not much better, although he attaches great importance to it after he takes office, and the army also has strengths, but the time is too short, the way is not all right, and the soldiers do not grow so fast.
There are so many things to think about when it comes to fighting a war.
Lu Baichuan said: "The minister is willing to share the worries for His Highness, and he will go to the Jiangnan area to transport grain on the same day." ”
The prince shook his head: "Wouldn't it be overkill to let you go to transport grain?" This battle must be fought, the soldiers and horses must be strong, this palace will give you 100,000 elite soldiers to practice, and it will be much stronger than it is now within a month, and other palaces will find a way. ”
"Yes!"
The prince said: "If there are unsatisfied generals in the new army, you can cut them first and then play!" ”
At the moment of the war, he is not in the mood to adjust the relationship between his generals, since ancient times, the capable is the king, if there is anyone who is not convinced, he will fight with Lu Baichuan, and if he can fight, he will lead the troops himself, and if he can't fight, he will either obey Lu Baichuan's discipline or die.
Lu Baichuan once again felt the prince's trust in him, and hugged his fists and said, "Yes!" ”
"Mrs. Lu went to her father to complain, right? It just so happens that the palace also has something to ask her to help with, so you can go with the palace. ”
The prince smiled faintly, with some pampering in his eyes, he knew He Jiuniang's temperament, and he must have been a little disappointed in his attitude towards him before, so he didn't come to him directly this time, but asked his father's attitude.
But as we all know, now my father is almost obedient to He Jiuniang, even if he knows that the treasury does not allow it, his father will still agree.
After all, no matter what, in the end, the pressure will be transferred to him.
Who made his father ignore the government a long time ago?
He suddenly remembered an adjective that He Jiuniang said before: big injustice.
Isn't that him?
He sighed, it is more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, this prince is really not easy to be!
And here, He Jiuniang also arrived at the place where the old emperor lived, and broke in without waiting for anyone to report, and the eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that their faces changed, and they hurriedly followed behind.
"Madam, slow down, let the slave go and report it!"
"Madame......"
didn't have time to stop it too much, He Jiuniang had already broken in.
Fortunately, the old emperor spared his life, during this period of time, he was pure-hearted and had few desires, and he also paid great attention to the maintenance of his body, and he was practicing Tai Chi in his small garden at this time, and he didn't do anything indecent, and He Jiuniang was okay to break in like this.
"Hey, why are you here this morning? What about dogs? ”
The old emperor didn't know about Kang Tanhua, and when he saw He Jiuniang coming, he thought that he finally remembered to come to greet him, he was in a good mood and smiled.
"Your Majesty, something happened, do you know?"
He Jiuniang's face was calm, and her tone was terrifyingly calm.
The old emperor had never seen He Jiuniang like this, and subconsciously looked at the eunuchs beside him, wanting to ask what was going on.
The little eunuch also shook his head, they didn't ask about the world in this deep palace, and they really didn't know what was going on.
He Jiuniang took the initiative to say: "The people of the Eastern Court killed me yesterday and kidnapped Mr. Kang, and sent me a severed finger this morning, the meaning is obvious, if we don't let go of the three princes, they will torture Mr. Kang to death." ”
The old emperor was stunned and said, "Is that the Tanhualang this year?" ”
"Yes."
The old emperor sank his face and said, "The Eastern Court is so rampant, is it really easy for me to bully Beiyan?" ”
"The courtiers came to ask the emperor a word, this tone, is it to endure or not? If the emperor says forbearance, the courtiers ask the husband to resign immediately and return to the field, and never set foot in the national capital again, who cares about this! If the emperor can't bear it, I can make the Dongting royal family pay the price of blood! ”
The old emperor was frightened by her momentum, but he also knew that she did have this ability, after all, when the palace changed, she was able to knock down so many people with a few bottles of medicinal powder, so she naturally had the confidence.
The old emperor is not stupid, he knows that He Jiuniang came to find him, there must be a situation on the prince's side, but don't look at this matter as just a matter of two new science and technology scholars, in fact, it is the biggest fuse between the two countries, if you swallow this breath, the Eastern Court will only be more excessive in the future.
"Naturally, you have to fight!"
Before the old emperor could speak, the voice of the prince came from not far away, and He Jiuniang turned to look at him, but did not speak.
In the matter of Kang Tanhua, He Jiuniang had a grudge against the prince in her heart.
If it weren't for his indecisiveness before, how could Kang Tanhua be a scholar, how could he suffer so much?
And Na Zhulian, even if he is a bastard, but he is also a person from Beiyan, even if he mixes again, it will not be the turn of the Dongting people to make a move.
This is in the capital of Beiyan Kingdom, and they all dare to make such a fuss, let alone other cities.
The people of Beiyan have suffered from poison for many years, but the prince has been hesitating, which is really in vain for her previous full help.
The prince also knew what He Jiuniang was angry about, not to mention He Jiuniang, he was also very angry that he was hesitant before, so after coming to He Jiuniang's side, he took the initiative to say: "Before, the palace didn't see the situation clearly, and always felt that there were three princes in hand, and the Eastern Court didn't dare to mess around. ”
"It's just that there are still a lot of things to prepare, so you can't be impulsive, and the first task now is to rescue that Tanhualang and do it again."
