Chapter 171: The military power is fragrant, and I want to take a bite
In the coffin of His Royal Highness the Prince's army, could it be the body of the second prince?!
Song Qin thought of this, but he didn't mean to make a statement.
Because he could hear that when His Majesty learned that he had brought back 40,000 recruits, he did not praise a word, but was very critical, and when he did not explain that 20,000 of them were from Jinling, His Majesty was like this.
It shows that His Majesty is deliberately targeting him.
Or, it was deliberately aimed at the Song family.
Song Qin raised his head and looked at the powerful families who followed the imperial family back to Jinling, but he couldn't see the family emblem of the "Song family", and he already had a guess in his heart.
Father, I'm afraid there will be more than one luck.
Even the entire Song family wanted to abandon it because of the emperor's disgust.
"Juncheng, don't worry."
Zhang Chengqian deliberately left Zhang Juncheng by his side, just waiting for this moment.
He wants to use the mouth of others to hold the rebel accountable.
"Father, the son is willing to lead 20,000 troops and send troops to Jinling to crusade against Zhang Junlin, the sinner who killed the second emperor's brother!"
Zhang Juncheng is not stupid, he deliberately came out of the limelight, in addition to obeying his father's will and expressing his father's advance and retreat, more importantly, he wants military power.
As early as after Chen Shanhe exchanged 5,000 soldiers and horses for Jiang Cheng's 20,000 Zhenzhou defenders, he also had the same thought.
His father ordered Jinling and Zhenzhou to recruit troops at the same time, and in his opinion, even if he couldn't gather 20,000 soldiers and horses, at least half of them could be achieved.
At that time, he instigated his father, the emperor, to treat Jiang Cheng with a crime of disadvantage, and took advantage of the situation to take over the military power of the recruits.
It was indeed unexpected that Song Qin was able to bring back 40,000 soldiers and horses, but at the same time, it could also bring him a huge gain.
My father is now happy to get 40,000 recruits, and he will reward him half, isn't it too much?
Of course, Zhang Chengqian knew the careful thinking of this eighth son.
If the second child is still alive, he will definitely consider the trade-off, or cut the eighth child's 20,000 to 2,000.
But the second child is not there, the Chen family has made many moves recently, and the Jingji Battalion now has 45,000 men and horses, and he can no longer hand over the soldiers and horses to Chen Shanhe.
"I ...... with the same people"
"Father, my son has something to tell!"
Without waiting for Zhang Chengqian to agree, the eldest prince Zhang Junji stepped forward and pointed at Zhang Juncheng and shouted.
"Father and Emperor must not hand over the military power to the wolf ambitions, in case the incident of Xia Guozhang causing trouble in Zhenzhou happens again!"
mentioned Xia Guozhang's crime again, and Zhang Chengqian suddenly knew what he was going to do.
Encountering this kind of brotherly wall-to-wall thing, Zhang Chengqian did not intend to stop it.
The second child is dead, and the rebel son will also die, and after returning to Jinling, if you want the people to forget the rebel, you must choose a new prince as a replacement.
It's not bad to make a decision at this time.
"Brother Emperor, don't be unscrupulous, my grandfather's accusations were completely fabricated by Zhang Junlin!"
Where could Zhang Juncheng have thought that he didn't specifically mention his grandfather in front of his father, not that he didn't want to avenge his grandfather, but that he didn't plan to use his father's hand to do this.
Other than that.
He knew that his grandfather wanted to support him in the upper ranks, and he might use extraordinary means.
Anyway, there was enough reason to crusade against Zhang Junlin, so he didn't mention the matter of his grandfather, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother would use this matter to attack him!
Thanks to his life, he sent the news of the death of the second emperor brother to Jiazhou City, and the eldest emperor brother was so unbrotherly!
"Eighth brother, I don't know if Zhang Junlin fabricated the evidence of Xia Guozhang's crime, but Xia Guozhang did gather gold and silver in many places, secretly buying and selling excess slaves, according to my investigation, there are nearly a thousand people!"
Thousand!
When Zhang Chengqian heard this number, his eyes couldn't help but froze, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where are these thousand people now?" ”
Finished!
When Zhang Juncheng heard his father's question, he knew that no matter what the result was, his grandfather's actions had been suspected of disloyalty by his father, but the whereabouts of these thousands of people ......
"They were originally in Jinling, disguised as tenants and distributed in the various granges of the Xia family, and later after Jinling was attacked by the Western Chu army, they except for hundreds of people who stayed in Jinling, the rest pretended to be homeless people, followed us all the way from Jinling to Zhenzhou, and only took hundreds of people when Xia Guozhang parted ways with us."
It's a good account.
Zhang Chengqian looked left and right vigilantly, and his tone was calm.
"The slaves of Xia Guozhang's trade are among these people?"
"Yes."
Zhang Junji actually had a way to capture all the people who were in contact with Xia Guozhang in one fell swoop.
But the queen mother said.
It is necessary to leave some sense of threat to make the father more frightened, and thus, even more angry.
"After investigation and evidence collection, Erchen only captured 90 people, of which 80 people committed suicide by biting their tongues when they were captured and confronted, and only 10 people were still alive, but they were a gang of 100 people, so there were not many people who knew each other."
Smack!
Zhang Junji clapped his palms.
Immediately, the palace guards escorted ten young men dressed in different classes of costumes to the front.
"Get on your knees!"
The palace guards kicked their knees hard to force them to kneel, and grabbed them by the collars behind them, forcing them to look up.
Zhang Juncheng saw that these people were tattooed on their faces, and some of them even cut off their noses and ears, and they jumped to their feet in a hurry.
"Brother Emperor, are you trying to bend into a trick?!"
"No, it's just that they are stubborn and stubborn, so they have to do it as a last resort, everything is for the sake of their father's safety."
Zhang Junji's words choked Zhang Juncheng half to death.
He was originally a military general, and he was not good at words.
was caught off guard by the eldest brother again, and at this time, the confrontation had not yet reached the most intense moment, and it was already frustrated.
Song Qin, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a sore knee, looking at the two brothers who fought among themselves before the war started, and His Majesty the Emperor who deliberately fanned the flames, the last glimmer of hope in his heart also disappeared with time.
Fight it.
For the 40,000 recruits sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let's fight to the briety.
He wanted to see who would end up being the unlucky one to lead the recruits.
No matter who it is, he, the prison army, must not be replaced!
"Your Majesty, it seems that the two princes will still have to argue for a while, whether the last general can bring the generals of 40,000 new soldiers first, and ...... Tell me to go down and bury the pot to make rice? ”
These words made Zhang Chengqian pay attention back to Song Qin.
The two sons have not yet argued about how to divide the military power of these 40,000 recruits, but no matter who is the main general, Song Qin, the overseer, has meritorious service and cannot be replaced for the time being.
If Song Qin is replaced at the moment, it is tantamount to telling others that he is very resentful.
When the time comes, to scare all the powerful businessmen and gentry who once wanted to contact the rebel to the camp of the rebel is to shoot himself in the foot.
"Song Jianjun is reasonable, since these 40,000 recruits were brought by Song Jianjun, the heavy responsibility of the overseers on the battlefield must be handed over to Song Jianjun."
Zhang Chengqian's eyes were full of calculations.
No matter how stupid Song Qin is, he can see that this is a pit.
But for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for the sake of South Vietnam, he is indomitable!
"Your Majesty Xie appreciates that the last general will supervise these 40,000 recruits to move forward bravely on the battlefield and make great achievements for South Vietnam!"
Song Qin received the order, and decisively anointed oil on the soles of his feet to settle the recruits.
Zhang Junji and Zhang Juncheng were left in place, staring at each other with big eyes and anger.
The brothers competed, and in the end, Song Qin continued to be the supervisor of 40,000 recruits.
Knowing this, they would definitely tell the winner before Song Qin spoke!
"Father, now that Xia Guozhang has arranged for His Majesty to be around, the eighth brother should avoid suspicion, and it is not suitable to lead the troops at this time!"
Zhang Junji was anxious and said the ultimate goal.
Zhang Juncheng viciously glanced at Zhang Junji, who was usually inconspicuous, but gave him a fatal blow when he needed military power the most, knowing that he couldn't get rid of his grandfather's affairs, and immediately decided to break the net.
"Father, the son also wants to expose the crimes of the Chen family!"
