Chapter 262: Blizzard
In the end, the eldest prince couldn't find a capable general after checking around, so he could only rest on his head. During this time, although his father had ascended the throne, his body was still weak, and he always wanted to recuperate in the harem, and he had not been to the court much. Those princes and ministers already had opinions, but because they handled things properly, they didn't make a big fuss. In fact, none of the noble ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the real ruler of the Great Li Dynasty today was the Great Prince, not the emperor who was recuperating due to illness.
Because of this, when the eldest prince recommended his maternal uncle to quell the rebellion, although those ministers had opinions in their hearts, they still couldn't express them after all, but now with such a good excuse, how could they not use it?
Speaking of which, everyone in the world is the same, and when they can benefit themselves, they don't want to give this benefit to others after all. And as a Qingliu minister who has worked hard to climb to this height, he doesn't want to watch others climb so high just because he has a little nepotism with the superior. This is too unfair to them, so if they can seize the opportunity, they definitely don't want the eldest prince's mother family to enter the field of vision of the ministers again.
Originally, it was only because of a little blood relationship and enough luck that the current prince became the actual ruler, but is it because of this that those incompetent people have to climb to a higher position? It's unfair.
There are not a few courtiers who think like this, and if they can't be suppressed this time, their majesty will be greatly damaged in the future.
Of course, the eldest prince is not a fool, the son of a daughter, he can't sit down, of course he understands this truth. The danger of going out to quell the rebellion by yourself is still too high, so you have to find a foolproof plan......
In the end, the eldest prince still threw his eyes for help on Mu Lian, who was cultivating herself. And Mu Lian was actually not surprised that the eldest prince would come to him at this time, he could almost be said to have watched this eldest prince grow from childhood to adulthood, no matter how well he disguised himself on weekdays, he could still see through that layer of skin what was going on in the child's heart. At this time, the eldest prince did not want to let go of the power he had already acquired, nor did he want his reputation among the people to be hindered and smeared.
People who want to grasp both like this often end up with neither.
Mu Lian didn't refuse to give him advice, but she also explained all the risks clearly.
"I have a few people under my command who can fight, but their skills are not as good as those of orthodox and educated generals, and they can barely say that they can kill. There are also a few people who can disguise themselves to fight in your form. The outcome of the war will naturally be on your head, but the risk of doing so is indeed great. I'm just making suggestions, and the final decision is up to you. I can give you enough time to think about whether or not to do this, and then answer after thinking about it, so as not to regret it halfway, and then neither side will please either. ”
The eldest prince thought about it for a long time, but finally did not agree.
Because there are gaps in this plan. For example, you don't have to let Mu Lian's people make up their own appearance. You can let them be the talents you find out with your own discernment, so that the achievements they have made still have to be attributed to themselves, so that he can sit in the capital justifiably, and no one can say anything wrong.
In this way, there are also fewer conflicts that may arise due to disguise. Like this method of quietly replacing someone, the eldest prince is really worried that it will be used on himself. But since Mu Lian has already mentioned it, how could the eldest prince not ask for such a strange person? And Mu Lian didn't refuse, he just looked at the eldest prince meaningfully.
"Since the eldest prince thinks so, of course I, as a courtier, can't have objections, but the world is complicated and treacherous, and I ask the eldest prince to be able to bear all the things he has done."
“…… Mr. seems to mean something, I wonder if you can answer the students' questions? ”
"I, a person trapped in the deep palace and without freedom, what advice can I give to the eldest prince? It's just that I ate a few more bites of rice and a few more bites of food than others. What's the big deal? I can't talk about advice, I just hope that the eldest prince can smoothly take charge of this country, so that the people at the bottom can also have a chance to breathe. ”
And so the conversation ended without a hitch.
And the eldest prince thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't go into battle in person, after all, this is too dangerous. And the people given by Mu Lian are really useful, especially the one who helped him lead the troops to fight, what is called Zhong Xiaowolf, when he fights, he is called a brave and desperate, and several rebellions were quelled by him. Soon after, he gained a good reputation and evaluation among the ministers and the common people.
It's just that the eldest prince didn't have time to be happy, and then a rare snow disaster broke out in the Central Plains.
You must know that it is already spring, and some of the wildflowers that bloomed earlier have now bloomed, and it is the time of spring, and no one expected a snowstorm to come so suddenly, almost covering the entire Central Plains!
However, the terrain in the Central Plains is flat, and even if the snow melts, there is no place to flow, not to mention that now this snowstorm is called a violent one, and some low-lying houses are covered. In this case, it is necessary to get disaster relief from the imperial court and organize a large number of people to rescue people in order to prevent greater losses.
But the eldest prince has been taking over the mess of the Great Li Dynasty for a long time, and he clearly knows that there is no extra money and food in the treasury now. Otherwise, there would not be so many rebel forces throughout the country.
The eldest prince stared at the flat land in the Central Plains and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The Central Plains region has a flat terrain, abundant water sources, and grain production is not low, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.
Once the courtiers went to the court, they only knew what they were twitting, and they couldn't even come up with a useful measure, and when they said that they wanted to raise donations, their heads shook faster than the other, for fear that they would be caught if they shook a little slower.
Alas, with such courtiers, how can their dynasty still rise? Obviously, they were very powerful before the Great Li Dynasty. But now, after a long period of devastation, it is almost extinct in the long river of the times.
But the eldest prince couldn't ignore it, because of such a severe snowstorm, the people were displaced, and people froze to death and starved to death in the cold every moment. If we don't care about it at this time, then there will definitely be more and more people who rebel.
