Chapter 130: The Second Prince's Backing
"This change has a very great impact on the seven cities of Sichuan County, a month ago, a large number of demon beasts poured out of the Black Mist Forest, thousands of first-grade and second-grade demon beasts, and even third-grade and fourth-grade demon beasts existed, forming a tide of demon beasts, directly entering Sichuan County, and the city 'Meicheng' in the west of Sichuan County suffered heavy losses, causing the Meicheng defenders to lose thousands of people.
Later, the demon beast was reluctantly repelled, but ten days later, the demon beast tide invaded again, this time not only made Meicheng lose, but even spread to the other six cities, suffering varying degrees of losses, and then the situation was even worse, there was a demon beast tide every five days, and now Meicheng is miserable, and the defenders are about to be unable to support it, so they have to ask His Majesty for help. ”
After He Shizhong finished speaking, the emperor continued to add: "The armies around Sichuan County have been sent to resist the tide of demon beasts, but there are more and more demon beasts, and the level is getting higher and higher, if it is not completely solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the entire Sichuan County will be destroyed by demon beasts, and millions of people will suffer by that time!"
"There has never been a tide of demon beasts in the Black Mist Forest, and now that it has appeared, it means that there must be a problem inside, Father, have you sent someone into the Black Mist Forest to investigate the situation?" Qin Shan asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, according to the information conveyed back by the Sichuan County, they have sent no less than ten groups of people into the Black Mist Forest to investigate the situation, but all of them have not returned. A minister responded.
Hearing the minister's words, Qin Shan fell into thought.
"Ministers, this matter has been discussed for many days, which of you has a good plan to resolve it?" the Emperor asked, glancing at his ministers.
Everyone looked at each other, and then a minister arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to let the Great General of the Protector send 200,000 troops from the border directly into the Black Mist Forest, and thoroughly investigate the problems in the Black Mist Forest, so as to prevent future troubles!"
The emperor shook his head: "It is simply not realistic to dispatch 200,000 troops from the border, not to mention the distance of thousands of miles, if you casually mobilize the border soldiers, then the neighboring countries will take the opportunity to invade and the gains outweigh the losses, even if you want to dispatch men and horses, you can only transfer them from nearby counties." ”
At this time, the prime minister glanced at the second prince next to him.
The second prince understood instantly, and then stepped forward and said, "Father, the son has a plan!"
Say. ”
"The vicinity of Sichuan County is the fief of the Three Emperor Uncles, the Three Emperor Uncles have hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands, the Father Emperor can use the Third Emperor Uncle's army to enter the Black Mist Forest to investigate the situation, and even eliminate those annoying demon beasts in one fell swoop, and the retainer is willing to personally lead the troops to assist the Third Emperor Uncle to ensure that this matter is solved perfectly!" said the Second Emperor with a serious face.
"Let the third prince make a move?" the emperor frowned slightly.
Emperor Qin Zhengjiang knows his third brother very well, the third prince is known as 'King Heng', he competed with Qin Zhengjiang for the throne when he was young, and he was Qin Zhengjiang's biggest competitor.
It's just that later, because King Heng's mother had an accident in the harem to compete for favor, she was thrown into the cold palace, and King Heng was also implicated, and finally passed by the crown prince, if it weren't for this incident, the current throne is likely to be King Heng's.
Since this incident, the first emperor's attitude towards King Heng was not very good, and King Heng also gave up competing for the throne, and finally the throne was in the hands of Qin Zhengjiang.
Later, King Heng was named the prince, with his own fief and his own army, with his profound cultivation and extraordinary wisdom, he helped the Shengtian Dynasty expand a lot of territory, and his own fiefdom also increased.
Now King Heng has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and there are several large counties in his fiefdom, governing more than a dozen cities, which can be regarded as the country of the Shengtian Dynasty.
For King Heng, the emperor is now afraid of three points, he has been thinking about how to weaken King Heng's strength, but there is no way, and he can't directly order the recovery of King Heng's military power, if it is really forced, it will definitely make King Heng rebel and rebel, and the consequences will definitely be unimaginable at that time, so the emperor can't move King Heng casually.
Now that the second prince mentioned this matter, the emperor was very entangled in his heart, if King Heng solved this matter, it would make King Heng more prestigious, and it would be more threatening, but if King Heng was not allowed to solve this matter, Sichuan County would be in danger, and it would be a dilemma.
Seeing that the emperor hesitated, the second prince continued: "Father, it is the most appropriate choice to let the third emperor uncle make a move, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer, after all, it is related to the safety of Sichuan County, please ask my father to make a holy decree!"
At this time, Prime Minister He Shizhong also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Second Prince said is extremely true, what is needed for the current plan is for the third prince Heng Wang to take action, and only he can solve the predicament of Sichuan County! ”
"The minister seconded!" Suddenly, all the ministers around him echoed.
The emperor sighed, although he didn't want King Heng's power to become bigger and bigger at this time, but now that Sichuan County was in dire straits, he could only let King Heng take action for now.
"Since all the ministers think it is appropriate to let King Heng make a move, then I will ......"
"Father, the son thinks it's inappropriate to let the Third Emperor Uncle make a move!" Suddenly, Qin Shan stood up and said.
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Qin Shan in surprise, and even the emperor looked puzzled.
When the second prince saw Qin Shan come out to sabotage, he immediately pouted and said, "Brother Huang, what you said is inappropriate, why is it inappropriate?"
"Yes, Emperor, what do you think is wrong?" the Emperor asked.
"Although the fief of the Third Emperor Uncle is next to Sichuan County, it will take at least four or five days to mobilize a 100,000-level army, and then it will take a few days to rush to Sichuan County, and it will take at least ten days, so that Sichuan County will be attacked by at least two waves of demon beasts, and it is still a question whether it can hold on, so it is not appropriate to let the Third Emperor Uncle make a move!"
Qin Shan naturally knew that King Heng was supporting the second prince, and he didn't want King Heng to continue to grow, otherwise there would be a huge threat to the soldiers in the future, so King Heng must not be allowed to make a move in this matter.
The second prince suddenly smiled disdainfully: "Brother Huang, you said that the Third Emperor Uncle's action was inappropriate, do you have a clever plan? This matter can only be handled by the Third Emperor Uncle, otherwise it will not be solved at all! Imperial Brother, don't always go against me, there is no other plan in this matter." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what His Royal Highness the Second Prince said is extremely true, the best countermeasure to this matter is to let King Heng take action, and other methods will not work. The prime minister chimed in.
The other ministers were muttering below.
"Yes, the third prince's shot is the best and the most effective. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely raising the bar, just trying to go against the second prince. ”
“......”
The emperor looked at Qin Shan with a serious face and asked: "Emperor, King Heng's move is not the best plan, but now the situation is grim, and King Heng can only save Sichuan County, but if you have a good plan, you can also put it forward, is there one?"
"Yes. Qin Shan replied sonorously.
