Another pavilion elder was also a helper, "Yes, Your Highness, the court is empty, and the entire Great Wei is looking forward to your return to Kyoto as soon as possible, announce to the world, and ascend the throne as the emperor!" Let's get going! ”

But the sixth prince waved his hand and refused to agree.

"It's not that His Highness wants the two Pavilion Elders to delay here, it's really a matter of priority. The Rakshasa devils outside the border pass are cunning and vicious, if they can't be defeated at one time, they will definitely become the henchmen of our Great Wei in the future! Not to mention that they attacked the border passes, just by harassing the border every year, thousands of mountain people and hunters were burned and plundered by them. The people in the border area are even more panicked all day long, and the border troops have to patrol and guard all the time, which consumes great financial and material resources.

"Now that most of the war has been going on, and the grassland has also sent troops to join forces, it is really a rare opportunity, and we must completely eliminate the Rakshasa devils, at least to ensure that they will not dare to approach Dawei again for ten years.

Otherwise, even if His Royal Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, he will be worried about the border pass. The border is peaceful, and the people of the north live in peace, which is also a congratulatory gift from His Royal Highness to the ancestors, please rest assured that the country will be handed over to His Royal Highness! ”

These words can be said to be reasonable, and the war outside the border is indeed the key point, and the two pavilion elders glanced at each other, both helpless.

This is not the first time such a plea, but it has clearly failed again.

As courtiers, they naturally hope that the new emperor will return to Kyoto as soon as possible, but as the new emperor who has been fighting at the border for many days, they naturally also hope that there will be a beginning and an end and drive the enemy thousands of miles away.

At this time, the general stood up at the right time and became a peacemaker.

"Elders, please take a seat, we can talk slowly." After that, he poured tea for everyone, and said, "Your Highness grew up in the Northland since he was a child, and he knows too well the importance of the border pass, so he can't help but see Bian Anning with his own eyes to rest assured." But the elders of the cabinet are also dedicated and loyal to the country and the people......

"Well, why don't I make an opinion. It's better to wait another month, and after a month, no matter whether the Rakshasa devil is completely annihilated or not, His Royal Highness will enter Beijing with the elders, and the border pass will be handed over to me, a stupid general, to continue to lead the troops to fight, what do you think? ”

The two elders were immediately happy, and there were a few more folds on their faces, and they responded one after another.

"Okay, okay, the general's proposal is good. The general has guarded the border pass for many years, so he will naturally keep the border pass peaceful. ”

"Yes, yes, if you need money and food at that time, the general can only send the news to Kyoto, and the six departments will definitely help."

The sixth prince frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied, but looking at the two old ministers looking at him, he also compromised.

"Okay, just listen to the general, for a month."

The big stone in the hearts of the two old ministers has completely landed, and they can finally explain to Kyoto. In fact, they are not afraid of waiting, they are afraid of waiting without end. Every time Kyoto sent someone to ask questions, they were a little embarrassed.

After all, it was their heads sharpened that they grabbed this errand, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to complete.

Thankfully, we finally saw the light of day today!

Thinking like this, they looked at the general gratefully, and suddenly felt weak about the previous deduction of money and food from the border army......

After a few more gossips, the elders withdrew with great eyes, leaving the general and the six princes to discuss the "military situation".

The general was amused and said in a low voice, "When these two pavilion elders first came, their chins were raised to the sky, but now they have completely bent their backbones. The sooner they understand the situation, they will be able to suffer a little less. ”

The sixth prince snorted coldly, a touch of contempt flashed in his eyes, "The first emperor was mediocre, and the government was almost controlled by them, so they would naturally have pride." I'm afraid that I'm still thinking about it now, and I want to use me as a puppet in the future! It's delusional!

"Stretch them for a while, sharpen their temper, and when I go back to Kyoto, I can talk, so that they don't have to plan all day, it's better to think more about how to let the people live a good life."

When the son's actually said that Lao Tzu was mediocre, this was really not respectful, but the general didn't seem to hear it, and responded, "Those people in the court have been like a day for many years, their glory and wealth are important, when did you think about the life and death of the people!" Presumably, when His Highness goes back later, I'm afraid I'll have a lot of headaches, but unfortunately I can't help.

"Your Highness, don't forget to promise me, in another three years, I will pick a son, and Your Highness will definitely find a good person to take over. I'm going to accompany my wife to see all the mountains and rivers in the world and take care of my old age. ”

The sixth prince heard him say this more than once, and couldn't help but laugh, "I remember, I promised you, it definitely won't count." It's just that Yongan is still too young, and after you step down, He Xiong will have to hold on for a few more years before he can be handed over to Yongan. ”

"Okay, no problem. He Xiong is still young, and it is most suitable for him to assist Yong'an. The general responded in one bite, without asking for He Xiong's opinion at all.

In the logistics tent, He Xiong sneezed loudly, then rubbed his hands and continued to roast the fire, and said to Old Man Tai with a smile, "Uncle, it's really cold this day. Fortunately, the rations were brought back, otherwise they would have suffered on the way. ”

Old Man Tai had just brought people to transport the last batch of grain, and the road was windy and snowy, so he had to suffer some hardships. At this time, Yonglu was taking ointment to smear the frostbite on his grandfather's hands, and Yongyue was making hot tea for his grandfather and putting ginger slices.

Old Man Tai laughed and responded, "The year before was the coldest time, and it would be good to wait for the first month, and it will be warmer and warmer." In April, we will be able to plant budding rice! ”

He Xiong thought of the large area of budding rice, and his heart was also hot, "When the time comes, I will really not be afraid of starvation anymore!" ”

Tai Yongyue interjected and said, "When the time comes, will my sister and aunt be able to come back?" Big brother doesn't have to go out to fight anymore? ”

"Definitely!" He Xiong lowered his voice and laughed at this silly boy, "When the time comes, your cousin will be the emperor!" Who would dare to bully your family! The border is even cleaner, and your eldest brother is afraid that he will be bored every day! ”

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue both laughed, but the old man Tai looked very bland, "Nothing else matters, just get together and live a good life together." ”

He Xiong admires the old man the most, if it is someone else's family, I am afraid that the tail will be raised to the sky, but the Tai family is what it should be, without the slightest arrogance.

It was the two pavilion elders who bumped into the six princes talking to the old man yesterday, and they were curious to inquire and find out the identity of the Tai family.

The biological mother of the sixth prince died early, and the grandfather's family is gone, so it can be said that the Tai family is the only relative. The Tai family can get glory and wealth by enjoying their achievements, but they are the whole family, young and old, no, the whole clan went into battle to help transport military rations and kill Rakshasa devils!

After this, whoever wants to crook their mouth and say a sour word, I'm afraid it won't work!

At this time, Tai Yongan rushed in from outside with a cool air, pulling a rabbit in his hand and shaking it, "Grandpa, look, I hit a rabbit on the way back!" Grilled and eaten! ”

The Sixth Prince then followed in and replied with a smile, "I heard that you went out and killed more than fifty Rakshasa devils this time?" You don't show this, you actually treat rabbits as treasures! ”
