In recent days, it has been rumored that Emperor Yang wants to set up the seventh prince as the prince, but whether it is from the ancestral training of "establishing the eldest and not the young, and establishing the eldest prince but not the long", or in terms of personal moral cultivation and ability, the eldest prince of the eldest son is the best candidate for the prince.

Although the ministers of the court did not show their willingness to stand in line on the surface, as long as Emperor Yang had the heart to establish a prince, at least half of them would make their positions clear to support the eldest prince.

In addition to the eldest prince, the third prince is also very good, and there will definitely be no fewer people who are willing to support him.

Now that the three princes have met, although the eldest prince is praising the seventh prince on the surface, no one knows what he really thinks in his heart.

Joy and anger are invisible, it is a compulsory lesson for every prince, and no prince will be simple.

"Brother Great Emperor has won the prize. Yang Yan's face did not change color, and he said lightly.

"Hehe, don't be humble Brother of the Seventh Emperor, I think my Tianyang Imperial Family has been squeezed out and oppressed by all forces in the City of Chaos, you have done a good job this time, it is really happy. The eldest prince said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.

"If the eldest brother and the third emperor brother are here, they will definitely be able to do better. Yang Yan said lightly.

"Huh. The eldest prince smiled noncommittally, and changed the subject: "Do you know why my father suddenly ordered me to wait for the court to discuss politics today?"

"Yang Yan doesn't know, could it be that the eldest brother knows?" Yang Yan shook his head and asked.

The eldest prince suddenly smiled and sighed: "Do you know that when you and the second emperor brother entered the land of trials, the Blood Moon Dynasty sent a million troops to invade the south, attacking the city as if it were no one, burning and looting everywhere they passed, and slaughtering the city was like a commonplace, not to mention a river of blood. ”

"Beast!" Yang Yan's eyes flashed with an incomparably rich murderous intent, and the third prince next to him glanced at him in surprise.

"Not only that, the Qinglong Dynasty also sent 500,000 troops to attack from the east two months ago, and successively captured the border passes of Ningjin, Donglin Province and Taiyuan Province, and the Xuanwu Dynasty and the Suzaku Dynasty each sent 300,000 troops to cross the line and station, beating drums day and night, the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed, and now this dynasty is embattled, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are buried in the battlefield, the situation is extremely grim, the civil and military officials are fighting and making peace, and finally although the father and the emperor decided to fight to the end, but there is no way to retreat from the enemy!"

"Hundreds of civil and military officials, no one has offered advice?" Yang Yan frowned.

"Yes, there is, the military department Shangshu Lu proposed a five-way operation, divided into a generalissimo and a four-way marshal, respectively, to the southeast, northwest four battlefields, the fifth route army by the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses directly controlled, responsible for the center of the strategy, the overall situation of the battle, but first, this is only the overall strategy and there is no specific way to retreat from the enemy, second, the marshal of the four-way army is always difficult to finalize. The eldest prince sighed.

Yang Yan is silent, thousands of troops are easy to get, one general is hard to find, and the marshal who can command the three armies is even more rare, this battle situation is very grim, the choice of people can not be sloppy, not to mention the selection of the commander of the first army.

The Tianyang Dynasty has a large number of generals, and it is not difficult to find a general who dares to go into battle to kill the enemy, but the difficult thing is to have the ability to stand out in all aspects, not only to win battles, but also to have a handsome talent who knows how to advance and retreat with a sense of the overall situation.

Such people are too rare.

"My father suddenly ordered me to wait for the court, it must be for this matter, and the Seventh Emperor Brother should take care. The eldest prince patted Yang Yan on the shoulder and walked in the direction of the Jinluan Palace.

The third prince glanced at Yang Yan lightly and walked by.

As soon as the two princes approached, the court officials who were originally around the second prince rushed over one after another, and compared to contacting the second prince who was indifferent by nature, the obviously approachable eldest prince and the taciturn but not pretentious third prince were more willing to approach.

For a while, the place around the second prince seemed to be even colder.

The Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince didn't have any ideas, although there were many people around them who left and went to the side of the Great Prince and the Third Prince, but there were not many ministers who stayed to continue talking.

Yang Yan thought about the words of the eldest prince, and always felt a little meaningful, and fell into thought, and just dealt with the officials who came to win favor without being salty, neither enthusiastic nor too distant.

"Brother Seven Emperors, don't come unharmed. At this moment, a strange voice came from behind him.

The surrounding officials turned their heads to look at the people, and suddenly their faces were different, except for a few one or two people, the rest of the people stayed away silently, it is better not to get involved in this kind of thing.

"Congratulations to the Fifth Emperor Brother on his recovery. A hint of discoloration flashed in Yang Yan's eyes, and he said lightly.

The person who came was none other than the Fifth Prince, Yang Batian, who was not lightly attacked at the beginning, and he was able to move around normally after more than half a year, and it seemed that Concubine Lan had spent a lot of elixir on him.

When the fifth prince heard this, a trace of gloom fell from his eyes, and he said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Thank you for your concern, and I am grateful for my brother! The seventh emperor brother is now in the limelight, maybe he can become the crown prince in the future, and don't forget to be a brother at that time." ”

"Naturally. Yang Yan said lightly, as if he didn't notice the deep meaning of his words.

The fifth prince snorted coldly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Then you can rest assured that you are a brother." ”

The officials around who heard their conversation were all different, did the Seventh Prince really want to be the crown prince?

Rumble...... Prosperous!

At this time, the door of the Jinluan Hall suddenly opened, and the sharp voice of the eunuch Zhang Dechang, the master of ceremonies, came far away.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the ministers are here!"

All the ministers of civil and military affairs stopped talking, solemnly sorted out their clothes, and lined up to enter the Jinluan Hall in order of official uniforms.

On the white jade ladder, the flow of people is divided into three columns, the military generals are on the left, the civil officials are on the right, and the seven princes walk in the middle in order, the eldest prince walks in the front as a matter of course, followed by the second prince and the third prince、...... Yang Yan ranked seventh, the youngest of the seven princes, and walked last.

The Jinluan Palace is the place where the morning court goes on every day, not only covers a wide area, but also decorates it extremely gorgeously, it is the most luxurious in the building of the outer court, even worse than the palace of the inner court, Yangyan is still the first time to enter the Jinluan Palace.

On the top of the nine stairs, the dragon chair, which symbolizes supreme authority, has a majestic figure with the appearance of an emperor.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" the ministers stood in order, knelt down in unison, and the seven princes also bowed.

"Flat. Emperor Yang said lightly, and the ministers said "Thank the Emperor" before getting up.

"There is a fast play, but there is no retreat!" Zhang Dechang shouted as usual.

Hundreds of civil and military officials don't know that there are important matters to discuss in the court today, and the seven princes have all appeared in the court for the first time, of course, they will not retire from the court so soon.

"Playing the emperor, the minister has something to play!" Lu Housong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was the first to come out and said.

"What's going on?" asked the Yang Emperor.

"Your Majesty, regarding the candidates for the four road marshals who went to the four major dynasties, the ministers carefully screened and finally came up with the following list, which needs to be judged by the emperor. ”

"Oh? Yang Huang raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile.

"Yes, General Yang Jiye will be the marshal of the West Road, General Wu Jie will be the marshal of the East Road, General Lu Feng will be the marshal of the North Road, and General Wei Chi Beijian will be the marshal of the South Road. Lu Housong said slowly.

When the words fell, the civil officials discussed a lot, and the people who were named among the generals showed joy, and the rest of the generals had different expressions, including loss, envy, jealousy and disbelief.

"Lord Lu, the last general is not aimed at anyone, it is just a matter of social affairs, and there is something unclear about the last general, please ask Lord Lu to solve your doubts. Among the generals, a general with a square face and thick eyebrows walked out and said.

Lu Housong frowned slightly, and said, "General Zhang, please speak." ”

"I don't know what criteria Lord Lu used to select them, General Yang and General Wei Chi both have great military exploits, and the last general has nothing to say, but Wu Jie and Lu Feng have no experience in leading an army alone, and they are too young, why make them handsome? General Zhang said bluntly.

"First of all, this official just proposed, whether to use them or not still need the emperor's holy judgment, secondly, the selection of this official is fair and strict, from all aspects, although the two generals Wu Jie and Lu Feng have not served as marshals, but they have outstanding records, and the martial arts cultivation is profound, it is a rare handsome talent, this official believes that they have the ability to be competent as the two marshals in the northeast. Lu Housong said unhurriedly.

"Lord Lu......"

"Alright. Emperor Yang suddenly spoke, and the hall instantly fell silent, and General Zhang swallowed back the words he was about to speak.

"Youth has nothing to do with ability, Wu Jie once annihilated the 20,000 Blood Moon Army with 3,000 remnants of soldiers in Hangu Pass, and Lu Feng also went alone several times, beheaded the enemy's main general and retreated, I think the two of them can be used. Yang Huang said lightly.

"Your Majesty!" several civilian, military and military generals spoke in unison.

"Yang Jiye, Wei Chi Beijian, Wu Jie, and Lu Feng received the order to listen to the seal. Emperor Yang ignored it and said directly.

"Chen Yang Jiye!"

"Lieutenant Chi Beijian!"

"Chen Wu Jie!"

"Chen Lu Feng!"

"Order!"

The four generals walked out with excitement on their faces, knelt on the ground to receive the order, and said loudly.

"I will immediately seal Yang Jiye as the marshal of the West Road, leading an army of 500,000, Feng Wei Chi Beijian as the marshal of the South Road, leading an army of 300,000, Wu Jie as the marshal of the East Road, leading an army of 500,000, and Feng Lu Feng as the marshal of the North Road, leading an army of 200,000, and set off in three days, there must be no mistake!" Emperor Yang simply ordered.

"The minister's decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The four of them received the order, and the other three were all full of joy, but Lu Feng was a little depressed.

Now the most fierce offensive is the Blood Moon Dynasty from the north, the million army is violent, the emperor ordered him to be the marshal of the North Road, but only allocated 200,000 troops, which is too worthy of him Lu Feng.

What made him even more depressed was that in the west, where there was the smallest movement, the Xuanwu Dynasty only sent 300,000 troops to suppress the border, but allocated 500,000 troops to Yang Jiye, which was a ......

The ministers of the DPRK and China also showed puzzlement, but since the emperor had issued an order and the matter was a foregone conclusion, they had no choice but to cast sympathetic glances at the newly sealed Marshal of the North Road.

"Congratulations to General Lu for getting his wish and being named Marshal of the North Road. General Zhang smiled at Lu Feng with some schadenfreude.

"A certain must live up to the holy hopes, expel the enemy, and regain the lost territory!" Lu Feng glanced at him lightly, and arched his hand in the direction of the Yang Emperor.

"Hmph!" General Zhang snorted through his nostrils, very unhappy.

At this time, a first-class official came out of the ranks and said to Emperor Yang: "The minister implores the emperor for permission to send the prince to supervise the army, so as to correct the morale of our army and break the attacking enemy!"
