Chapter 89: The enemy retreats and I chase

"Your Highness, get up......"

Wen Chen walked to the ancestral hall and gently patted Liu Taichang's back, and even felt that his body was still trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty is gone." Wen Chen sighed slightly.

Miao Gongzi raised his head, his face still retained a trace of panic, but it was much more decent than just now.

"It's all Xiao Wang's fault, and Gong Wen is implicated together......"

"Shhhh......h

Miao Gongzi's face was straight, and he realized it instantly.

"Yes, yes, go out and talk!"

The two got up and went out, and saw a group of men and horses slowly moving down the hill from a distance.

"Gong Wen, today's incident is thanks to you, if you hadn't helped Xiao Wang out of the siege, Xiao Wang really didn't know how to end up!" Zhao Gongzi clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply towards Wen Chen.

The corners of Wen Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and if he saw it, he still had to thank us!

"Your Highness, we are all our own people, I can't say thank you or not, now what we have to consider is whether Your Majesty really has the idea of cutting the fan!"

"His Royal Highness also saw the situation just now, the civil and military officials are passionate, if Your Majesty doesn't make any moves, I'm afraid that even if you intend to back down, you won't be able to get off the stage!"

Miao Gongzi's cheeks gradually flushed, "What Gong Wen said is reasonable, but this matter is all up to His Highness, even if Xiao Wang knows?" ”

"There are no countermeasures on the prince's side?" Wen Chen whispered to seduce.

"Alas......"

Miao Gongzi looked helpless, "The matter of my Liu family, I must have heard of it to Duke Wen, although the first emperor used some means when he ascended the throne, but his father personally promised to give up the position of the prince, and the first emperor ascended to the throne is justified, but now that I am a courtier, I usually do a little bit of action, how can I openly oppose Your Majesty?" ”

Wen Chen nodded slightly, he really guessed correctly, although the family surnamed Liu is in control, they also care about the reputation of the people.

But in this way, it didn't make sense at the beginning, since Liu Weiyong, the king of Zhennan, was able to make up his mind to exchange the lives of his two children for twelve cities later, why was he held by the first emperor when he was fighting for the throne before? Does he have other scruples?

"If Your Majesty really makes up his mind to cut it, how should the prince deal with it?"

Miao Gongzi's eyes narrowed when he heard this, "Father is not a vegetarian either!" ”

But as soon as the words fell, he retracted his expression and shook his head, "If you can avoid it, avoid it......"

Oh......

It seems that not only is the little emperor jealous, but the king of Zhennan doesn't want to tear his face in the monk capital until the last moment......

Wen Chen touched his chin and said, "Your Highness, instead of being passive in everything, the lower officials think it's better to take the initiative!" ”

Miao Gongzi's body was for a while, and he turned his head with a shocked expression, "Gong Wen, the time has not yet come!" ”

Wen Chen's heart sank, the king of Zhennan was waiting for an opportunity! Waiting for a legitimate and foolproof opportunity!

Although a clue was found in Liu Taichang's words, Wen Chen still said with a normal face, "When will it be time to show loyalty to Your Majesty?" ”

"Loyalty?" Miao Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed a few times to hide the panic in his eyes.

"What is Gong Wen's plan?"

Wen Chen smiled slightly, "After today's Imperial Mausoleum incident, the reason why the ministers suggested that His Majesty cut his head was nothing more than that the power of the prince's side was too huge, which threatened the imperial power, and even the first emperor couldn't stand it, so he lowered his holy will. ”

"What the prince has to do is to take the initiative to show weakness, and when His Majesty has not yet made up his mind, he will cut off his arm to show his loyalty!"

Miao Gongzi frowned, "Gong Wen said that the nineteen ore veins in Yuzhou will be returned to Your Majesty?" ”

"No!" Wen Chen immediately vetoed, "The ore vein is one of the main sources of the prince's finances, and besides, this thing is located in Yuzhou, Your Majesty can't move it, and handing it over not only hurts the muscles and bones, but also shows sincerity!" ”

"What does Wen Gong mean ......"

"Soldier power!" Wen Chen Zhengse said, "The prince has 400,000 troops to guard southern Xinjiang, but now that Nanqi is recuperating, he has no idea of starting a war with me in the near future, these soldiers are a threat in the eyes of His Majesty, as long as the prince hands over part of the military power and shows that he has no disobedience, he can shake His Majesty's determination to cut down the domain, and he can also block the mouths of those old ministers!" ”

Hiss –

Miao Gongzi took a breath of cool air, Wen Chen's thoughts can be described as the extreme!

If it is an ordinary vassal king who has no ambition to hand over his military power, it is just that, but his father is a person with great intentions, how can he cut himself down and strengthen the enemy at this time?

Wen Chen looked at Mrs. Liu's thoughtful appearance, and knew what kind of ideological struggle was going on in his heart.

chuckled lightly and continued, "Your Highness doesn't seem to have figured it out yet, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again!" ”

Miao Gongzi raised his eyebrows, "Xiao Wang is willing to hear about it!" ”

"First of all, there has been no war in southern Xinjiang in recent years, the prince raises so many soldiers, and the annual military salary is a large expense, especially the older the soldier, the higher the military salary, the prince can hand over this burden to others by handing over the military power!"

Miao Gongzi's eyes lit up, right!

The right to hand over the army does not say whether it is a veteran or a strong soldier, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army have no blood at all every time they go to the battlefield, and they are far less good than the young people, but they still receive a higher salary than others, which has always been a big headache for the father!

"What should happen if there is another war in southern Xinjiang in the future?"

Wen Chen chuckled, "There are millions of people in southern Xinjiang, and there are countless strong men, and if you pick up a weapon, you are soldiers, is Your Highness still worried about the lack of people?" ”

Miao Gongzi nodded lightly, but immediately frowned again, "But if Your Majesty is still not at ease when you see your father handing over the military power, and you want to be determined to cut it, although those veterans are not strong, they are still a sharp weapon against your father in Your Majesty's hands!" ”

Wen Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Who said that you want to hand over the military power to Your Majesty?" ”

Miao Gongzi was stunned, "Who will it be handed over?" ”

"Liu Weiheng, King of Pingbei!" Wen Chen said, "This is the second of the two wins that Xia Guan wants to say!" ”

"Although there has been no war in southern Xinjiang in recent years, but there are frequent wars in the northwest frontier, although the king of Pingbei can fight well, but the northwest is desolate, there is a shortage of manpower, and it seems powerless to fight against the Xiongnu, if the prince hands over the military power at the same time to advise His Majesty to transfer these soldiers and horses to Yizhou to resist the Xiongnu, not only can Your Majesty not use the blade cast by the prince, but also inherit the favor of the king of Pingbei, isn't it beautiful?"

As soon as these words came out, Miao Gongzi's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and he clapped his hands and applauded, "Gong Wen is really a great talent of the country!" ”

His father was worried about how he could establish a strong alliance with Liu Weiheng, the king of Pingbei, without making the current saint suspicious.

If you do it according to Wen Chen's ideas, not only can you make friends with the king of Zhenbei justifiably, but also dispel Emperor Jingren's doubts, plus the saved military expenses, where is this killing two birds with one stone, it is simply killing three birds with one stone!

The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more wonderful it becomes!

Just pay a small price, you can solve all these messy things, Wen Chen must stay under his command!

"Duke Wen, Xiao Wang will rush back to Yuzhou, and I implore my father to do what you want!"

Wen Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, just do it, there are lower officials in Shangjing City here, as long as the prince can act according to the plan, the lower officials can ensure that none of the ministers dare to mention the word "slashing!" ”

"Good, good!" Miao Gongzi shouted three good words in a row and patted Wen Chen's shoulder, "Don't worry, Duke Wen, with your heart, Xiao Wang will definitely not treat you badly, and in the future, there will definitely be a place for Duke Wen by Xiao Wang's side!" ”
