"Your Majesty, since the northern border has been frequently invaded by the Huns for many years, and I can only defend myself, but I can't take the initiative to attack. I think..."

Seeing Wu Tianxu's spitting appearance, Emperor Qing was unhappy for a while and asked.

"What do you think?"

"I think Your Majesty, have you forgotten about my people in the north, and have you long stopped taking the safety of the people in the north in your eyes!"

"Presumptuous!"

Yang Wenyuan scolded sharply.

But he was stopped by Emperor Qing.

"Wu Tianxu, I will allocate a large amount of money and food to the north every year, as well as the transfer of soldiers stationed in the defense, and at the same time, I have also specially carried out a channel for trade with other countries in the north, which is really to improve people's livelihood."

"Can't the people see what I've done, and I haven't forgotten them?"

Wu Tianxu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Majesty, your kindness, of course, is remembered by the people of the North."

"But no matter how prosperous the inside, it is difficult to offset the troubles caused by external troubles, although Your Majesty has opened the passage, but my Daqing caravan, from time to time, will be plundered by the Huns, without official documents, the people dare not trade with other countries outside."

"Also, the people in the north can be said to hate the Xiongnu to the core, they frequently attack the north, making the people miserable, and the homeland has just been built, which will make them completely fragmented."

"How many men in the north died under the invasion of the Xiongnu because they were stationed at the border passes. How many families are shattered because of the raids of the Huns! ”

Emperor Qing was heartbroken when he heard it.

He didn't expect that what he had worked hard to do was not what the people in the north really wanted.

It can even be said that all this he has done, even if he has done so much, is so insignificant compared to the extermination of the Huns.

At this time, a minister, seeing Emperor Qing's sad look, felt that this matter might have to change.

was worried that the emperor would change his mind, so he restored Liu Qi's status as the crown prince, so he immediately stood up.

"Lord Wu, what do you say have to do with the crown prince?"

Wu Tianxu turned his head to look at him and faced Emperor Qing again.

"Your Majesty, of course it has something to do with it.!!

"From the time the prince led the troops to Pingcheng, the people rekindled their hopes, and felt that the imperial court had finally not forgotten the people in the north."

"However, the imperial court has also sent many ministers over before, and they have all talked about the Xiongnu, but they have never done anything practical."

"But the crown prince, but he came to the north, and it didn't take long for him to lead his troops to defeat the coalition army of the Xiongnu and the country of India, when they heard this, the people were not to mention how happy, they finally thought that the court was serious this time."

"And after the prince returned to Pingcheng, he asked the storyteller to talk about the various despicable behaviors of the Huns, how heroic I was in Daqing, and threatened to hang the Huns on the tower of Pingcheng to ask for guilt, and even set up straw men dressed as Huns in Beipingguan and so on."

"It seems to be extremely ridiculous, but it is very big, and it has inspired the hearts of the people of Pingcheng and even the entire northern border!"

The people finally thought that the court had not forgotten them, let alone forgotten, and had taken revenge on the dead soldiers and civilians in the north. What the prince has done one after another has already made them think that the court has moved seriously, and it is finally no longer seeking peace with the Huns, but with real swords and guns with the Huns, and do a good job! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, especially Emperor Qing, and then his hands trembled.

No one thought of it. Liu Qi's seemingly absurd behavior played such a big role in the north.

No one thought that maybe it was because they had stayed in the court for a long time and couldn't see it.

Unexpectedly, the people in the north have hated the Xiongnu to such a degree.

It's not over yet.

At this time, I saw Wu Tianxu escape from his arms and escape a stack of papers, which seemed to have nearly a hundred. It's very heavy.

Emperor Qing asked.

"Wu Tianxu, what is this?"

"Your Majesty, what Wei Chen holds in his hands are all the people of the north, as well as local officials, and some representatives of the people, whose names are written on them personally, as well as their handprints."

"After hearing that the prince returned to Beijing to ask for the guilt, the people were worried that no one would ever go to confront the Huns, so they avented the prince, and then there was this petition of the people, please the emperor is lazy to read!"

Petition of the Peoples?

Hearing these five words, Emperor Qing's heart trembled.

At the same time, Yang Wenyuan's expressions also changed suddenly, showing that it was so unnatural.

Laifu took the petition and put it on Emperor Qing's dragon case. Even if you are already very careful, you can make a "bang" sound

Emperor Qing picked it up and looked at it one by one, although the paper was light, but it made him feel that it was so heavy. It was so heavy that he seemed to be unable to lift it.

Every person's name, and every handprint he has touched, are all pounding on his heart.

The prince, who the people trusted so much, was now called to Kyoto to ask for the guilt, and when the people heard about it, they petitioned one after another to avenge the grievances of the prince.

Emperor Qing let out a long sigh, he could even feel that maybe in the eyes of the people, he was already a faint king, right?

Seeing Emperor Qing's sad expression, and seeing the petition of the people in his hand, Yang Wenyuan and everyone knew that if they took this matter again, they would not be able to convict the prince.

So, after thinking about it for a few seconds, Yang Wenyuan immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, the people have this thought, and they are petitioning for the prince, it is indeed us, and it is true that we have wronged the prince."

"However, Rao is like this, when the Xiongnu army attacked Beiping Pass, he did not report to the court in time, and did not lead troops to support in time, surrendered to the Xiongnu, made peace privately, and all kinds of future affairs, how should the prince explain?"

Liu Qi smiled.

Because after Wu Tianxu finished speaking, he knew that Yang Wenyuan and they would definitely stand up and say so.

He wasn't panicking at all, he wasn't in a hurry at all, everything that was going to happen next was all in his plan...

As soon as Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, Jia Siming also echoed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Su's death was all caused by His Royal Highness's lack of timely support, and General Yu, who was beheaded on the spot by the prince in front of so many people, this is all in everyone's eyes, how can it be that we have wronged him? Even he himself didn't admit it! ”

After Jia Siming finished speaking, the guards of Beiping Pass, as well as Wood's most proud general, General Cheng Rong, followed and stood up.

First Cheng Rong spoke.

"Your Majesty, the last general can explain what the crown prince has done."

"The reason why the prince didn't let the imperial court send reinforcements is because he had already expected that the Xiongnu would not send troops to my Daqing, it was just a bluff."

"In this way, if my Daqing reinforcements rush to move troops, won't it be a waste of our country's money and food."

"If the Huns really wanted to invade my Daqing, they would have acted a long time ago, why not wait until more than ten days later, when my Daqing's reinforcements arrived, they began to move troops, and they also came to me and other generals twice to send a message."

Speaking of which, the Beiping guards on the side will stand up.

"Your Majesty, for this matter, the last general can testify, His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really like a god, the Huns have frequently approached my Beiping Pass several times, but the prince is not panicked at all, only said that it is a bluff for the Huns to come over this time, but for many days, it will inevitably send someone to talk."

Sure enough, the Huns whistled twice, saying some arrogant words, but in action, there was no change. In this way, for the sake of the safety of the north, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave in to the Xiongnu in his personal name and said some convoluted words, which made the Xiongnu withdraw directly..."

Before the words of the Beiping guard were finished, Li Shouting stood up and laughed.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"The Huns sent so many soldiers over, it can be said that they are the soldiers of the whole country, how can it be a bluff?"

However, at this moment, Wu Tianxu, who had just spoken, stood up again.

"Your Majesty, there is evidence for what Lord Li asked!"
