"What?!"

Yu Hao was shocked in his heart, staring at the old eunuch, and Lu Xiaoxiao on the side had weak legs and sat directly on the ground.

Seeing this, the smile on the old eunuch's face became even stronger, and he returned to his previous high-spirited appearance.

"Yu Hao, you flirt with the princess, Your Majesty also left you the title of baron, you should thank the emperor for his grace, don't know what to do!"

According to the law of the Great Qian, the son and the father are all demoted by one level.

Now that Yu Yi is dead and has been demoted to a viscount, he will be automatically demoted to a baron because Hao inherited the title.

Don't look at the same nobles, but the status is very different, and the baron doesn't even deserve to have a fief.

Yu Hao clenched his fists tightly, and the green tendons on his head were exposed.

The Yu family has just defeated the Huns, the edge is too strong, and the merit is high!

He couldn't see that the Yu family was calculated!

Yu Hao had just molested the princess, and Yu Yi was assassinated, how could it be such a coincidence?

But looking at the Royal Forest Army staring at him, I am afraid that if I resist, I will be killed on the spot!

After thinking about it again and again, Yu Hao still gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Yu Hao received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

"Little grandfather, let's go, follow our family into the palace."

A sense of powerlessness surged into Yu Hao's heart, even if he knew that entering the palace this time was auspicious, he had to obediently follow the old eunuch.

"Young Master......"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Hao's distant back, and tears fell uncontrollably.

……

Imperial Palace, Taihe Palace

Emperor Zhu Song sat high on the main hall, with two eunuchs standing beside him, and two palace maids holding peacock feather fans behind him were fanning Zhu Song in the breeze.

Under the main hall knelt two messengers in armor, and the civil and military officials around them were arguing, pointing at the two messengers from time to time.

But Prime Minister Sun Xiao lowered his head and didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Zhu Song looked at the eldest grandson and smiled, his face was gloomy to the extreme.

Three days ago, news came from the border, Yue Guogong Yu Yi defeated the Huns, annihilated 50,000 enemies, Zhu Song was overjoyed, just wanted to inform the whole country, the whole country celebrated, the eldest grandson Xiao hurriedly entered the palace, and met Zhu Song alone in the imperial study.

The eldest grandson smiled and told Zhu Song that the Xiongnu were resentful of this defeat, and gathered 100,000 troops to watch the border, and at the same time the Xiongnu made conditions, as long as the Daqian handed over the head of the resolute, the Xiongnu would be willing to stop the army and make peace, and no longer invade the territory of the Daqian.

As a generation of kings, how could Zhu Song exchange the heads of heroes for peace?

The Huns prescribing such conditions are tantamount to humiliating Zhu Song and humiliating Daqian!

Zhu Song immediately ordered to mobilize a large army, and even planned to fight to the death with the Xiongnu in person!

But the eldest grandson's next words made Zhu Songru be struck by lightning, and his back was cold.

Yue Guogong Yu Yi was assassinated on the way back to Beijing, and his head was in a different place!

And the eldest grandson Xiao actually made a decision for Zhu Song, and gave Yu Yi's head to the Xiongnu without authorization!

This is a demonstration against the emperor and a trampling on the imperial power!

As an emperor, he couldn't see that this was a plan by Changsun Xiao, the purpose of which was to get rid of Yu Yi.

Zhu Song was so angry that he wanted to cut off Changsun Xiao's head immediately, but he didn't dare to do it, and he couldn't do it.

The eldest grandson Xiaogui is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, an official worships the prime minister, and is the head of the cabinet, the head of the civil officials, and the disciples and protégés are all over the world, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person!

During the period of the first emperor, Changsun Xiao was already in power, and his foundation was so deep.

Even if he Zhu Song is not a mediocre emperor, he has just ascended the throne for three years, and his foundation is still shallow, and it is impossible to get rid of Changsun Xiao for a while.

Originally, Yu Yi could still contain him when he was there, but now that Yu Yi is dead, the big cadres are worried about internal and external troubles, and Zhu Song has to think about what the consequences will be if he moves the eldest grandson Xiao.

For a time, it was difficult for Zhu Song to ride a tiger.

The eldest grandson Xiao had already seen Zhu Song's concerns, and he used Yu Hao's recent flirtation with the princess to keep the flames.

In the end, Zhu Song had to grit his teeth and agree to the plan of the eldest grandson Xiao to make peace.

In order to keep the last single seedling of the Yue Guo Mansion, Yu Hao, promised to cut Yu Yi's title.

But who knows, news came from the border that the Xiongnu not only did not stop the army and make peace, but mobilized 100,000 troops to counterattack.

Yu Yi died, and the 100,000 troops stationed at the border pass were leaderless, and the whole army was annihilated!

Zhu Song hates!

hated the Huns' rebellion, deceived people too much, and hated the eldest grandson Xiao's collaborator and traitor, ignoring the imperial power!

But now that the eldest grandson is smiling in the court, he covers the sky with one hand, and Zhu Song wants to get rid of him, but he is already more than willing to do it.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhu Song opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know which Aiqing has a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

The audience was silent.

Zhu Song's gaze swept over the civil and military officials one by one, but none of them stood up, and every minister lowered their heads after coming into contact with Zhu Song's gaze.

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhu Song's eyes, and his gaze finally stayed on Changsun Xiao.

"I don't know if the prime minister has a good way to break the enemy?"

The eldest grandson took a step forward with a smile and said expressionlessly: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the old minister, it is safest to seek peace, the Xiongnu are just a barbarian race, nothing more than to ask for gold and silver women, send a messenger to ask the Xiongnu what conditions they have, we can meet them." ”

Listening to the words of the eldest grandson, Zhu Song couldn't help but sneer secretly.

You, an old man, met the conditions of the Huns, but as a result, they destroyed my 100,000 army after they changed hands!

Zhu Song knew very well that once peace was sued, Daqian would face a huge amount of compensation, in addition to gold, silver and jewelry, cloth, grain, and minerals were also indispensable.

At that time, the imperial court will place a large number of orders on private merchants, and with the status of the eldest grandson, it is easy to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

He tried his best to ask for peace, just to make a fortune and fill his pocket.

"How can I wag my tail and beg for mercy from the Huns? What is the difference between the prime minister's words and betraying the country? Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to go out and kill all the Huns to avenge the old country! ”

A strong man with a black face in armor stepped forward, his face full of murderous intent.

"Kill the Huns? What a big breath! Liu Changdao, you generals claim to be invincible in the world, but you have fought with the Huns for so many years, when have you ever won? The 100,000 troops on the border have been annihilated, and if they do not sue for peace, the Xiongnu will soon be able to set foot in the Central Plains. ”

Wu Xia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pursed his lips idly, his face full of disdain.

The generals were flushed, but they couldn't find the words to refute, after all, each of them had suffered a lot of defeats.

Liu Changdao's black face turned dark red, and he said stubbornly: "Then you can't ask for peace, people beat us and want us to lose money, how can there be such a reason!" ”

Zhu Song nodded, he didn't want to make peace in his heart, and it was impossible to cede the land and pay compensation!

For a time, the court was divided into two major factions, one side was the main peace faction headed by Changsun Xiao and Wu Xiaxian, and the other side was the main battle faction headed by Liu Changdao and other generals, and the two sides quarreled.

Wu Xiaxian and others are all literati, all kinds of quotations and classics, yin and yang weird connotations of Liu Changdao and others.

And Liu Changdao and others have no culture, they are scolding when they open their arms, and they specially greet each other's families, and all kinds of human organs are flying all over the sky.

"Shut up!"

Seeing that a few grumpy generals were about to make a move, Zhu Song finally couldn't help it and slapped it on the dragon chair.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded from outside the main hall, "Yu Hao, the son of Yue Guogong Yu Yi, asks to see Your Majesty!" ”
