Chapter 431: The Prince Supervises the Army

The court quieted down suddenly, three days ago, someone had already put forward the idea of sending more princes to supervise the army, and the emperor did not immediately agree at that time, but today the seven princes came to the court, and the idea of the prince's supervision army was once again raised.

And both times it was the same person, Wei Zhengxian, the secretary of the ministry.

It's bold enough!

Yang Yan raised his head slightly, glanced at the second prince in front of him lightly, and already had a guess in his heart.

Wei Zhengxian came from the Wei family, one of the top ten families, and was the leading big family of the Tianyang Dynasty, and more importantly, the second prince's mother, Concubine Hui, was surnamed Wei, combined with the inexplicable words that the eldest prince said to him, Yang Yan keenly sensed the smell of conspiracy.

Emperor Yang's eyes were fixed on Wei Zhengxian, which made people unable to distinguish between joy and anger, and the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly extremely silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Wei Zhengxian lowered his head, he couldn't see the emperor's expression, but he could feel the not sharp gaze, his face was silent, but his heart was slowly raised.

After a while, just when he couldn't bear the pressure and began to retreat, Emperor Yang finally spoke: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, I am ordered by the sky, my sons are all true dragons, and it is a matter of social responsibility, and your proposal is approved." ”

"The emperor is shengming!" the ministers congratulated, and Wei Zhengxian breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of excitement.

"Since it is Wei Aiqing's proposal, let's talk about your opinion first, which prince can take on the heavy responsibility?" Emperor Yang said lightly.

"Emperor Qiqi, the minister thinks that the second prince has both ability and political integrity, and is suitable to serve as the supervisor of the South Road Army, so that the Suzaku army can come and go!" Wei Zhengxian said, and for a while, the eyes of the ministers were focused on the second prince.

The Wei family's support for the second prince is almost universally known, and it is almost impossible to say it explicitly, and it is not surprising that Wei Zhengxian made such a proposal.

The safest thing is naturally to stay in the palace, but so without merit and no fault, it undoubtedly seems mediocre in the eyes of the emperor, and only by performing well on the battlefield can he get into the eyes of the emperor and his goodwill will increase greatly.

However, it is learned which battlefield to go to.

The Northern Blood Moon Army is the most fierce and has the most troops, which is undoubtedly the most dangerous, followed by the Blue Dragon Army in the East, and relatively speaking, the South and the West, which have not yet officially started the war, are the safest.

However, the Xuanwu Dynasty in the west has the deepest heritage and the strongest strength, if it does not move, it will be enough, once the army advances eastward, it will become the most dangerous battlefield, and there is a great risk.

Therefore, the southern battlefield is the best place to go, if it can't be fought, it will be a great achievement, if it is fought, there is Wei Chi Beijian's 300,000 southern road army, and there is nothing to fear against the Suzaku army.

At this time, Wei Zhengxian continued: "The eldest prince is not only the eldest son, but also Wen Taowu's martial arts are all very outstanding, suitable for serving as the supervisor of the army on the West Road, the third prince is extraordinary, brave and good at fighting, suitable for serving as the supervisor of the army on the East Road, as for the army supervisor of the North Road, the minister thinks that the seventh prince is the most suitable candidate." ”

"Old fox!" the ministers scolded in their hearts, this old guy is very good at planning.

The best position for the second prince to go, the other west and east roads to the eldest prince and the third prince, if you can't fight or fight but successfully resist, it is a free credit to the two princes, get two favors, if you fail, you can create trouble for the two princes, weaken their influence, elevate the second prince, and you can't blame him.

As for the North Road Supervision Army's recommendation of the Seven Princes, hehe, that is to make it clear that it is aimed at the Seven Princes.

Yang Yan's gaze did not fluctuate, and he didn't even look at Wei Zhengxian, as if he was out of the matter.

"Oh, why is the Seventh Prince the most suitable for the Northern Road Supervisor?" the Yang Emperor looked at him with a smirk.

In an instant, Wei Zhengxian felt chills all over his body, and cold sweat was about to flow down, obviously the emperor was not so easy to fool, where would he not understand the mystery.

But at this moment, it is difficult to ride a tiger, if you change your words temporarily, it will be a real charge of framing the prince of the dynasty, Wei Zhengxian said stubbornly: " Back to the emperor, although the seven princes are young, their abilities are very outstanding, and they have luck, it is reported that it is precisely because the thirteenth prince Yue Wuchen suddenly took over the military power of the army, so that in January, the momentum is like a bamboo into the realm of no one, the seven princes have had a confrontation with the thirteen princes of the blood moon, and they must know a lot about him, if the seven princes serve as the supervisors, the victory rate of the northern war situation will increase greatly, which is the blessing of the people of the court, and I hope the emperor will see it!"

"Wei Aiqing is so considerate of the imperial court, I am very pleased, if you Aiqing has different opinions, you can also boldly put it forward. Emperor Yang said lightly, his eyes scanning the ministers.

"Emperor Qiqi, the minister thinks that Lord Wei's proposal is inappropriate, and the eldest prince is the eldest son, so how can he easily make a mistake? What's more, Lord Wei only let the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince serve as the supervisors, so can the fourth, fifth, and sixth princes only stay in the palace and not contribute to the country?" said one of the ministers, meeting Wei Zhengxian's dissatisfied gaze.

"Then in your opinion, what should I do?" Emperor Yang said lightly.

The official ignored Wei Zhengxian's cannibalistic eyes, and said: "The minister thinks that the eldest prince should sit in the palace or serve in the Fifth Route Army of Marshal Ye, and it is more appropriate for the second prince to serve as the supervisor of the East Road, the third prince to serve as the supervisor of the West Road, and the fourth prince to serve as the supervisor of the South Route Army." ”

As soon as the words fell, another official came out and said: "The minister also has a different opinion, the third prince has been trained in the army, is full of strategy and is brave and good at fighting, so the minister thinks that the northern battlefield is the most suitable for him." ”

"Lord Li's words are wrong, and the minister thinks it's ......"

"The minister has different opinions, and the minister thinks it is ......"

“......”

It seems that the Yellow River has burst its banks, and the ministers in the palace have spoken, recommending various princes for their own positions, and fighting with each other.

Emperor Yang looked at this scene with a smile, and did not speak out to stop their quarrel until it was almost over, and looked at the princes in the middle of the column who were out of place with the surroundings, and said lightly: "My emperor, I want to know your own wishes. ”

The eldest prince took a step forward, bowed down and said: "As the eldest son, Erchen has an unshirkable responsibility, and Erchen is willing to serve as the supervisor of the North Road, carry forward the imperial prestige of this dynasty, and deter the enemy!"

Emperor Yang nodded slightly and looked at the rest of the princes behind him.

The second prince spoke: "Erchen is willing to serve as the overseer of the East Road, and punish the enemies who come to attack!"

The third prince said simply: "As long as you can go into battle to kill the enemy, no matter which way you oversee the army, your sons are willing." ”

The fourth prince said: "Erchen is willing to serve as the overseer of the North Road. ”

The fifth prince hesitated for a moment on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Erchen is willing to go to the East Road!"

The sixth prince grinned and said, "None of them chose the south road and the west road, so the ministers will go to the west road." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiang Yangyan and said, "Seventh brother, let's go to the South Road, it's safer." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Yan, and said secretly: "No one on the South Road robbed him, it seems that the Seventh Prince is determined to go to the South Road to be a prison soldier, and Lord Wei's abacus is afraid that it will fail." ”

Yang Yan raised his head, his eyes were like torches: "Father, the son wants to go to the North Road, I hope that my father will be gracious!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed the golden mountain and knelt on the golden luan hall, his back was straight, and his eyes did not fluctuate.

Determination, like iron!

Seeing this, the ministers were in an uproar, and the rest of the princes did not mention the South Road, which did not mean that they did not want to go to the South Road, and they chose the North Road, East Road and West Road with high risk coefficient, just to advance and retreat.

If the Seven Princes choose to go to the South Road, although the impression in the hearts of the emperor and the ministers is not as good as that of the rest of the princes, no one can say anything about him.

Unexpectedly, the Seven Princes did not choose the least dangerous south road as they thought, but went to the north road, which is really incredible.

Wei Zhengxian and the others sneered in their hearts, and glanced at Xiang Yangyan's gaze with a little contempt, as expected, they were still too young to know the stakes of the matter.

But you stupidly plunged into it yourself, and even if something goes wrong, we can't blame it!

Yang Huang Meiyu tightened slightly, looked at Yang Yan and said: "What you said is from the bottom of your heart? You must know that the North Road is facing the ruthless Blood Moon Army that will be slaughtered in every city, and it is 200,000 against a million army, are you sure you want to go to the North Road?"

The ministers' eyes flashed, it seemed that the emperor did not attach great importance to the Seventh Prince, and did not want him to go to the North Road to risk his life.

"The Seventh Emperor Brother has to think about it clearly, as the eldest son of the Emperor, it is my duty to go to the North Road, you are still young, even if you refuse to stay in the palace, it is a good choice to go to the South Road, it is a matter of time before the Vermilion Bird army invades, why should you be in a hurry to serve the country?"

"Seven Emperor Brothers, don't be impulsive!" the rest of the princes also persuaded, and some of them were sincere.

Yang Yan's expression was unwavering, and he said lightly: "Thank you for reminding my father and the royal brothers, Yang Yan has made up his mind and will never change it." ”

"Old Seven, tell me why you went to the North Road. Emperor Yang frowned and said, the ministers and princes once again showed different colors, and their eyes were different from each other, which was very complicated.

"The blood moon is cruel and unreasonable, violating my territory, doing things that are indignant to people such as slaughtering the city, Erchen is the prince of the dynasty, and he must not sit idly by, as Lord Wei said, Erchen and Yue Wuchen have had several confrontations, and they know a lot about this person, if the Blood Moon army is really led by this person, Erchen will make him have no return. Yang Yan Zhengse said.

There are two other reasons he didn't say, one is the flaws in his swordsmanship pointed out by Bing Ruoyan, the fierce killing battlefield is the best place for him to sharpen his swordsmanship, and the north side with the most fierce attack is undoubtedly the best choice.

The other is Yue Wuchen, the scene he saw that day has always made him uneasy, and this time he went to the north to serve as a supervisor, just to take the opportunity to seek answers.

"You've made up your mind?" Yang Huang asked again with a brow stretched.

"No hesitation. Yang Yan said word by word.

"Okay, good!" Emperor Yang said hello three times in a row, and smiled with satisfaction: "It is worthy of being my emperor, and he is responsible!"

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and Yang Yan instantly felt a lot of cold chills invade his whole body.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not hinder you, from now on you will be appointed as the overseer of the North Road, and in three days you will set off with the North Road army, and in addition, I will send you an additional team of personal guards, on the premise of not hindering their duty to protect you, you can dispatch you!" Emperor Yang said slowly.
