"Your Majesty is angry, but the minister does not dare. Chen Shaojie knelt directly in front of Liu Dingrui, but his expression and tone did not feel the slightest nervousness or fear at all, "The minister has overstepped, and the minister only made this advice for the general purpose of my southern country." ”

"Lone is not old enough to need you to teach Lone how to be an emperor!"

Liu Dingrui slapped the handle of the dragon chair fiercely, and the officials in the front row behind Chen Shaojie, the left minister, hurriedly knelt down in unison.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little frozen for a while, and the third prince Liu Changxi didn't say anything at all, just quietly watching everything in front of him. He was well aware of his father's temper, and although he had become much more submissive over the years, openly provoking his majesty in the court would still provoke Long Yan's anger.

Although this also shows from the side that Chen Shaojie now has enough confidence and bargaining chips to confront His Majesty, this is obviously not a good thing for both the royal family and the community.

"Ahem," it seemed that because Fang had just moved his anger, Liu Dingrui couldn't stop coughing for a while, and Gonggong Hong, who was serving on the side, hurriedly handed over the warm tea soup, and kept patting Liu Dingrui on the back to calm down, and it took a while to ease up.

"Chang Xi. Liu Dingrui, who calmed down, shouted.

"Erchen is here. ”

"You have made a great contribution this time, not only persuaded people to stop the war with reason, but also completed the reconciliation in such a way that made my southern country lose face, and helped tens of millions of people in my southern country to avoid the flames of war. ”

"Back to his father, the son just did what a prince should do, did his duty, and didn't dare to say anything. Liu Changxi's face did not change, and he said calmly, not caring at all about the fierce eyes cast by Liu Changnian and Liu Changyue. "If my father really wants to reward him, why don't he reward me with tens of thousands of large and small clans in the Tunan Kingdom, especially the clans below the middle three gates. Although these clans are small in scale, they have charged forward and made their own contributions in this national crisis, and many clans have even directly sent the most core disciples, which can be described as a great sacrifice, although they did not really participate in the war in the end, but I hope that my father can reward them for showing a fierce attitude of not fearing death. ”

"The people and the clan are the two fundamentals of national strength, and I hope that my father will not easily chill their hearts. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the three princes are reasonable. On weekdays, my Tunan Imperial Court has always only had close contact with the big clans in the Ten Jie Guild and the Elders' Church, but it has never considered the survival of the small and medium-sized clans. Right Minister Li Mu also added in due course.

"Well, what you said is reasonable, for the rewards of the small and medium-sized clans participating in the expedition this time, Li Mu, I will hand it over to you. Liu Dingrui nodded.

"Obey. Li Mu lifted the wat board and lowered his body in response.

"However, one thing is one yard, Changxi, your credit is real, and this time it can be regarded as setting an example for the people of the world, telling Dongzhou that there are also outstanding young people in the Tunan royal family, and Lone is very pleased. When Liu Dingrui spoke, he deliberately swept Liu Changnian and Liu Changyue, who were sitting in the audience, and both of them couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly at Liu Dingrui's gaze.

It's so embarrassing, it's not like it's my own child. Liu Dingrui couldn't help but think.

The eldest prince, who was shouting to go to the front line, finally returned to Luojing with a leg injury, and when he asked, he realized that he had fainted in fright while fleeing and fell off his horse. The second prince, Liu Changyue, simply pretended to be sick and bedridden to avoid being sent to the front line together.

The order of the clan expedition was still carried out by his uncle Chen Shaojie, who wanted to take this opportunity to let the second prince win over the power of the small and medium-sized clans to accumulate enough fame, but he didn't expect Liu Changyue to buy it at all, and he didn't want to go to the front line to take risks, so this opportunity fell on Liu Changxi's head.

What he didn't expect was that Liu Changxi first set up an ambush near the military camp through coordination with the Southeast Army, which was a good way to resolve the sneak attack of the elite troops in Luofeng City and avoid the dilemma of the prince falling into the hands of the enemy.

After that, the third prince brought the witnesses of Luofeng City to Luo Jing, and explained in detail in front of His Majesty that the cause of the war was a misunderstanding, and also analyzed the situation at this time. It is clear that the start of war will destroy the good diplomatic relations between the two countries for hundreds of years, and may also give the real foreign enemies in the north an opportunity to take advantage of.

There was nothing to be thin, and every sentence hit the nail on the head, and finally succeeded in convincing Liu Dingrui.

After all, if even the original assassination of the city lord of Wu City was just a misunderstanding, then this war would lose its meaning. Rather than continue to lose both, it is better to find out what happened first.

Later, as a foreign envoy, the three princes personally went to Shen'an, the capital of Wenjingguo, to meet Wenjingjian Guo, and when Yang Hanchu, the crown prince of the dynasty, won a chance for reconciliation between the two countries. His words and deeds left a deep impression on Yang Hanchu, and he even passed on a book to praise Liu Dingrui for giving birth to a good son.

As soon as this incident passed, the prestige of the three princes in Tunan's country had reached its peak. There are even many people who have begun to discuss that the position of the lord of the East Palace, which has been vacant for decades in the Tu Nan Kingdom, may be decided.

The more Liu Dingrui looked at Liu Changxi, the more satisfied he became, speaking from the heart, no matter his appearance or personality, Liu Changxi was the one who was most like himself among the three princes, which is also an important reason why his mother committed such a big crime back then, but Liu Dingrui was still very good to Liu Changxi over the years.

Since the third prince became an adult, he has solved problems for himself countless times, and his political achievements are impeccable, and he is the only one among the three adult princes who is recognized by the world.

In terms of talent, his two imperial brothers are far from being able to compare, and the only obstacle to Liu Changxi's entry into the East Palace has always been because the network resources behind him are not enough.

Although Liu Dingrui had already regarded Liu Changxi as the only candidate for the crown prince in his heart, he also had to consider the influence of the intricate eunuch forces on the court situation. If you rashly push a prince with an unstable foundation to the throne, it will only attract a strong backlash led by Zuo Xiang, and I am afraid that it will harm Liu Changxi at that time.

Therefore, Liu Dingrui has been slow to take action, he is just waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for the day when Liu Changxi will turn over.

And now that the time has come, the current Liu Changxi has prestige, and he also has the support of the right minister Li Mu's clear statement, and I heard the secret spies say that this time they also absorbed a lot of plastic talents in small and medium-sized clans and turned them into their own use, and there have been breakthroughs in all aspects. If he is pushed to an important position for a few years, it will be more justified to be established as the crown prince.

Thinking of this, how to reward Liu Changxi, Liu Dingrui already has an answer in his heart.
