As soon as the news of South Vietnam's intention to attack on a large scale and the fall of King Zhennan reached Beijing, the court blew up the next day.

The courtiers discussed a lot, but fortunately, the more unanimous view was the main battle, and no one put forward the main peace without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The main reason is that the Holy Lord is not a cowardly and timid person, and even if he does not declare it, he will definitely not agree to compromise with South Vietnam.

As a courtier, it is a necessary lesson to perceive the holy will, and you can have your own ideas in the details, but you can't be wrong in the general direction, otherwise you are looking for death.

Don't look at the expression of the saint and don't distinguish between joy and anger, but when he was young, he was also a decisive king, but in recent years, he has become more gentle.

But the courtiers still didn't dare to pluck the feathers.

Even if a tiger doesn't bite, it's still a tiger, and if you don't know when you can't tell you, you'll devour people in one bite.

In the court, the Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the dragon chair at the high end, said in a deep voice: "Now that the old illness of the King of Zhennan has relapsed, although the sons of the King of Zhennan are all brave and good at fighting, but the deterrent effect of Nanyue is not as good as that of the King of Zhennan after all, what do the Qing family think?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a young Wenchen was anxious to behave: "Qiqi Sheng, the minister thinks that he should immediately order Dingbei Hou to go to Pingling Pass, with Dingbei Hou here, Pingling Pass will definitely be safe and sound." ”

Some generals couldn't get used to him, and immediately said: "You are just a fart, Dingbei Hou went to Pingling Pass, Pingling Pass was saved, what should I do about Yannan Pass, you go to defend it!" ”

The young Wenchen was unconvinced, flicked his sleeves, looked disdainful of being with him, and said arrogantly: "Vulgar, it is insulting to Sven in front of the saint, and the Northern Qi Dynasty did not use troops against the big cadres, Yannan Pass is good now, and he will take care of Pingling Pass first." ”

The military general laughed with a snort, pointed to the other party's nose and said: "You are really naïve, if the Northern Qi does not attack Yannan Pass today, can you guarantee that it will not fight tomorrow, in case the Northern Qi suddenly launches an attack, can the Dingbei Hou have time to rush back from Pingling Pass?" Or can you make the Northern Qi retreat with your mouth, or let the Holy Lord send you to Pingling Pass this time, as long as you Lord Zhang is there, you will definitely be able to make the South Vietnamese retreat, and maybe you will have to pay a few cities to Daqian in shame. ”

"You ......"

The young Lord Zhang was so frightened that he was red-faced, and he knew that he really didn't think about it.

An old man from the same faction as Lord Zhang stood up and said for him: "Shengshang, although Lord Zhang's proposal is a bit reckless, it is not a bad way, but this method is a bit risky after all, it is better to compromise and send a prince who can fight well, the prince represents the saint, and will definitely be able to pacify the three armies, deter the enemy, and promote the prestige of our country!" ”

These words were said beautifully, and the emperor's face was obviously softened.

The person who said this just now is Prime Minister Yun, who has great prestige in the court, especially Wenchen, almost half of whom are looking forward to his horse.

He is a sleek, old fox for many years.

But everyone knows that Lord Yun supports the Great Prince, which is almost a secret that everyone knows.

Needless to say, Lord Yun is trying to create an opportunity for the eldest prince.

Although the king of Zhennan fell, the children and grandchildren of the king of Zhennan are still in Pingling Pass.

The tiger father has no dog sons, the king of Zhennan now has five sons and more than a dozen grandchildren, almost all of whom are good at fighting, there is no shortage of generals in the army, if the prince goes, he will not be in danger, even if he goes out, there must be a heavy guard, as long as he survives for a few years at the border, he will earn military merits just around the corner.

When the time comes, the eldest prince will be the first prince to go to the battlefield, and other princes are far from being able to compare with him.

And the most important point is that this time to Pingling Pass can be friendly with the Zhennan Palace, the Zhennan Palace, with heavy troops, the saint is extremely dependent, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a courtesy of three points.

If you can make friends with the Zhennan Wangfu and let the Zhennan Wangfu support the eldest prince, it will be easy for the eldest prince to ascend to the position of prince in the future.

It would be a fool not to do such a good deed with one stone.

The emperor then asked, "Which prince does Yun Aiqing think should be sent?" ”

Prime Minister Yun Cheng seemed to be completely selfless and said: "Enlighten the saint, the minister thinks that the eldest prince can be worthy of the office. The eldest prince has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, is a steady person, is the queen of the middle palace, and is the first prince of the saint, the heaviest among the princes, and the minister thinks that the eldest prince is the most suitable candidate. ”

All the ministers are old foxes for many years, and no one is worse than the other, and Prime Minister Yun is not the only one who sees the opportunity.

Now the battle for the prince is not white-hot, but almost all of them have already chosen their sides, so they naturally have to fight for the prince they are optimistic about.

So they said:

"Qi Qi Sheng, the minister thinks that the eldest prince is not good at martial arts, or the second prince is suitable, and the second prince is only one year younger than the eldest prince, he is also stable, and his martial arts are far better than the eldest prince."

"The minister thinks that the three princes are more suitable, the three princes are both civil and military, and Corporal Lixian will definitely be able to calm the hearts of the army."

"The minister thinks that the five princes are the best candidates, and the five princes are the most emperor by nature, and they will definitely be able to return home on behalf of the Son of Heaven."

"The minister thinks that the six princes look the most like the emperor, and it is the destiny of heaven."

……

The reasons for the courtiers' recommendations are varied, searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, and lo and behold, even the emperor looks like the emperor and said it.

However, the emperor listened carefully, and it seemed that no one recommended the fourth prince to conceive the king!

All the princes have been recommended all over again, why don't they recommend his Yu'er, how can this be reasonable, who is this looking down on?

So the Son of Heaven was a little angry, looked at the noise below, and suddenly slapped the dragon case.

All the courtiers were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "The Holy One is angry, and the ministers deserve death!" ”

In fact, the courtiers were also quite confused, and they often argued in the early days, and the saints all watched them quarrel, why did they get angry today?

The emperor didn't call the courtiers to get up, so he quietly watched them kneeling, and only after a while did he ask a minister: "Song Aiqing, do you have anyone you want to recommend?" ”

The minister who was suddenly named was a little confused, what did it matter to him, why was he suddenly named, is it because he didn't speak just now?

Helplessly: "Qiqi Shengshang, the minister does not, the minister's father and eldest brother are all in Yannan Pass, and there is no one to recommend in the Dingbei Hou Mansion." ”

It turned out that this was the second son of the Marquis of Dingbei, that is, Song Hansheng, the second uncle of King Huai.

Because he was weak since he was a child, he was not suitable for practicing martial arts on the battlefield, so he took the path of the imperial examination and became a civil servant, and is now the secretary of Dali Temple.

The emperor was a little depressed.

I've given you such an obvious hint, you still don't understand? Hurry up and recommend your good nephew, you are the second uncle.

Song Hansheng naturally understood what the emperor meant, but he couldn't.

The Dingbei Marquis Mansion can't be involved in the dispute between the princes, let alone let King Huai get involved, so don't do this feat.

Seeing that the hint didn't work, the emperor could only make it clear: "Song Aiqing, my fourth son, King Huai, has the highest martial arts among all the princes, even if all the princes are combined, they can't be compared, why don't you recommend King Huai?" ”
