Chapter 118: It's hard to stand alone

The prince meant to let everyone's faces soften slightly.

As long as you train hard and gain a firm foothold in the imperial city, you can also establish great achievements like General Lian and win a higher position for yourself!

After Li Yunxing left, there were bursts of discussion in the school field.

Some rejoice, others frown.

But no one dared to question it, although Li Yunxing had only been the crown prince of the country for more than three months, he had a strong prestige.

Before this, how many once powerful generals were deposed, belittled, and even beheaded for public display!

It's a bloodstained path!

Since the news of the military system was unsealed in the palace, it also reached Liufu at a very fast speed.

At that time, Liu Zhongqing was practicing calligraphy in the study, and he said that words were like his person, and a good hand of words could also reflect his character.

His calligraphy is quite Confucian, strong and powerful.

"Heaven rewards ......"

When Liu Zhongqing wrote the last stroke of the Qin, a drop of ink slipped onto the paper at an inopportune time, staining the entire handwriting.

Liu Zhongqing frowned, put down the brush, took the brocade and carefully wiped the drop of black ink, looking focused.

In the study sat several ministers, all fidgeting and worried, as if they had something urgent to discuss with him, but they did not dare to interrupt.

Finally, after a while, Liu Zhongqing wiped off the ink stains, put the towel on the shelf next to him, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said lightly: "What are you looking for the old man?" ”

One of them, a tall, bronzed, military-uniformed man was the first to speak.

"Lord Liu, my father has been overworked recently and his body is heavy, so he has to send me here to discuss the prince's rebellion with Lord Liu!"

This person has a rough appearance, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and looks like a tough guy.

His surname is Han Minghai, and he is a member of the Han clan in Gangneung Prefecture.

The Han clan has a long history, and the ancestor was the founding prime minister of the Wu Dynasty, although it gradually declined after several generations.

But Han Yihai was originally supposed to be the son-in-law of Liufu, and Hanfu has been friends with the Liu family since he was a child. But Liu Ruxu entered the palace and became the queen, and a childhood sweetheart marriage with Han Yihai came to naught.

Liu Zhongqing has always admired Han Yihai, so he recommended him to enter the court and become the supervisor of Zhengjiupin of the Weiwei Mansion.

The position is not high, but Han Yihai is also motivated, but after seven years in the dynasty, he has climbed to the position of Shaoqing.

If it weren't for Lang Zhong ordering Zhao Gao to rush in on his own, in a vain attempt to deceive the saint, he gave the prince the opportunity to punish, not only took away the military power of the palace and the capital, but also dismissed the official and demoted him to the ninth grade, which weakened Han Yihai's career resources.

Otherwise, Han Yihai's current position would probably have surpassed him long ago.

Han Yihai is a typical military general, full of war sand table and fighting.

If it weren't for his father Han Rui telling him not to act without permission, I am afraid that he would have made trouble in front of His Majesty the Martial Emperor at this time.

Han Rui is different from his son Han Yihai, although he is also a military general, he is a commander in the army, although Lian Zhan's Lian family army was one of the best heroes in the Wu Dynasty.

But Han Rui is good at planning and calculating, and the Qin family camp to which he belongs is also a family of military generals, and it is deeply rooted in the court.

Han Yihai has an upright temperament, and he is invincible in the charge, but he lacks strategy, and he has suffered a lot over the years.

Han Rui also persuaded his son not to participate in the party struggle, but Han Yihai was stubborn, and what he recognized, let alone Han Rui, even if the Martial Emperor wanted to stop him, he couldn't do it.

"Han Gongzi, the wall has ears, be cautious!" Liu Zhongqing shook his head and said with a smile.

Han Yihai was born in a family of military generals, he was short-tempered, and he didn't understand the world, but he respected Liu Zhongqing very much, and when he heard Liu Zhongqing's words, he immediately scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment.

On the other side, Chen Shan, who used to be a doctor under Lang Zhongling Zhao Gao, said with a flickering eye: "Lord Liu, you also know that today's Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer the ignorant and immature child of the past. ”

"This time, the prince overhauled the military system in the capital, not only reduced the forbidden army in the capital, but also replaced a lot of guards and patrols in the palace, leaving only the most elite forbidden army, and also built a military camp outside the city, making it clear that the ministers of the court and the central government will no longer control the military and political power of the capital!"

"Now he has 3,000 armor soldiers, 10,000 crossbowmen, 500 elite soldiers, and royal worship. If you continue to let it go, I'm afraid it will endanger the community! ”

Chen Shan said worriedly.

The others also nodded, and the prince didn't seem to be fighting Liu Zhongqing, but he had been reducing Liu Zhongqing's power.

"Since the death of Master Su, this Jingzhou has also become a mess of scattered sand, no one obeys anyone, each has a ghost, and most of the silver taels that can be collected are also missing." Qianyue Mountain, who had joined the army under the command of Su Tianyang, the assassin of Jingzhou, opened his mouth and agreed.

"The prince's move is clearly to purge the dynasty and firmly hold the military and government of Jingzhou in his own hands, so as to prevent someone from usurping the throne, which can be described as sinister."

When Qian Yueshan said this, his eyes couldn't stop glancing at Liu Zhongqing.

He has a close relationship with Su Tianyang, and after Su Tianyang's death, he was also implicated.

Although the prince did not ask him for his guilt, Su Tianyang's matter had made the prince lose trust in him.

"Since the prince intends to cleanse Jingzhou, why don't you gather your ministers and crusade against the traitors together, you have to engage in these small means." Han Yihai was puzzled.

"Hmph, don't you think he really has the ability?"

Qianyueshan was a little puzzled, "Lord Zaifu, what do you mean by this?" ”

If they don't hurry up to solve the problem, I'm afraid that their group of old guys who support Liu Zhongqing will be reduced to ordinary noble ministers and will no longer be able to hold the power of the DPRK and China.

"You only saw the prince shouting and shouting to kill, but you didn't see that he didn't dare to let go of power."

"Now the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, although it is not all in the hands of my Liu family, at least half of the important ministers of the court support me. The remaining half, even if they are active, only dare to play some tricks in secret. ”

Liu Zhongqing's tone was calm.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Indeed, although the crown prince is the prince, he has no soldiers in his hands and refuses to let go of power.

If we really want to thoroughly clean up the government and the opposition, we will inevitably mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it, and then the government and the opposition will be chaotic and the people's will will fluctuate.

When the time comes, they will take advantage of the situation, and perhaps they will be able to make a profit.

And now the prince is just shouting and shouting and killing, and he doesn't really act, just taking into account the existence of their group of people.

In other words, it is estimated that Liu Jaefu's influence in the imperial court.

Ning Hanyu, who had been silent for a long time, replied, "Liu Zaifu wants to say that the prince is no longer available?" ”

"That's right, the prince's ambition is very big, but it's hard to support it alone, just rely on a milky doll that hasn't dried up, can he hold up the banner of the Wu Dynasty?"

Liu Zhongqing snorted coldly when he heard this, and did not hide the disdain in his heart at all.

It is true that Li Yunxing took over the military power of the Northwest Battalion, but he sent a Zhanjun to fight for the position of general, which is simply wishful thinking.
