"My father was angry. Prince Jiang Xuan stood up.

King Wen was furious, "Prince, you are not allowed to exonerate Xue Peng, this king trusts him so much, and hands over all the left guards of the royal court to him to be in charge, is he in charge of the army like this? Let a group of rogues beat them to the point of losing their armor, but the other party did not leave a single person, lost the face of the royal court, lost the face of this king, such a waste, what is the use of keeping?"

"Father, there must be a secret in this matter, for many years, Wang Ji has been peaceful, why as soon as Captain Xue took office, there will be rogues, and there must be something strange at this time. ”

The military department Shangshu said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just entered the royal court, and he still doesn't know much about the royal court, in the Mangdang Mountain, eight hundred miles east of Wangji, many horse thieves and bandits, especially horse thieves, come and go without a trace, hiding very secretive and extremely difficult, every time the royal court moves the army, these people will hide, and when the army leaves, they come out again and start to plunder everywhere, it is a cancer. ”

"Before, Zuo Shuwei has always been hung under the name of the general, the general is famous, they dare not harass, but now, the king has enabled a son, oh, no, it is to enable Xue Xiaowei, the horse thief will inevitably despise, it is only before he dares to plunder the military food, the king, with the intention of the minister, it is better to still hand over the left guard to the jurisdiction of the prince's department, so that Wang Ji can be safe, otherwise, the horse thieves and bandits are only afraid that they will be harassed all the time, and my Wang Ji will not be at peace. ”

Crown Prince Jiang Xuan hurriedly said, "Father, Captain Xue has just led the left guard, and I am afraid that he is not skilled in military affairs.......

The eyes of the military department Shangshu lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "What the prince said is very true, Captain Xue is not skilled in military affairs, if it is changed in peacetime, it can make Captain Xue grow slowly, but now the date of Yu Mingguo's envoy to my Dacao is approaching, if you see a group of rogues who beat my guards guarding Wang Ji to the point of losing their armor and losing the face of the royal court, if Yu Mingguo uses troops against me, I will fight on both sides, which is extremely unfavorable to my Daxiao." ”

The crown prince looked at the military department Shangshu coldly, and snorted coldly, "Lord Ji, I really pay attention to the matter of Zuo Shuwei and Captain Xue, what happened in the morning, you knew it before you went to the court, as if Lord Ji had expected it a long time ago?"

The military department snorted coldly, "Then according to the prince's intentions, Weichen should ignore Wang Ji's safety?"

"Okay, don't make any noise!" King Wen shouted angrily, calmed down a little at this time, felt that this matter was a little strange, and regretted the will just now, but he couldn't say it, what he said just now didn't count, he couldn't help but set his eyes on Xiangguo Tian Feng, hoping that Tian Feng would help Xue Peng say a few words, and then said, "Xiangguo, what do you think?"

Tian Feng took a step to the left at this time and said, "Back to the king, Weichen received an urgent report from Qin this morning, and Zuo Shuwei has lost the king's grace." ”

King Wen looked at Tian Feng and said in his heart, "Tian Feng, Tian Feng, this Xue Peng is your favorite, it is you who and this king will promote him as the chief general of the Left Guard, you are good, don't speak for him at this time, but help the Ji family dismantle the king's platform." ”

King Wen snorted lightly, "Xiangguo, how did Zuo Shuwei lose the king's grace?"

Tian Feng said, "Back to the king, before Xue Peng took office, Zuo Shuwei was still a brave army three months ago, but at this time, it was already a different appearance. ”

When King Wen heard that Tian Feng had something to say, he immediately asked, "What does Xiangguo mean by this?"

Hearing this, fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, this old immortal, has he been paying attention to Zuo Shuwei?

At that moment, he couldn't help but look at the eldest prince, but seeing that the eldest prince was still as calm as a mountain, the heart of the military department Shangshu was also a lot more stable, he was the eldest prince's person, and the eldest prince would never abandon him.

Tian Feng said calmly, "Today's left guard has more than 500 infantry, 50 cavalry, dozens of archers, and a total of less than 600 soldiers, and most of them are composed of old people over 60 and underage children, not my strong soldiers." ”

When King Wen heard this, his eyes widened, and he immediately said angrily, "What, the left guard who guarded Wang Ji has become an old man and a child, and the military department is still the book, what's going on?"

The military department Shangshu hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel, "The king forgives the sin." ”

At this time, the eldest prince took a step to the right and said respectfully, "Father is angry, this matter is all to blame on the sons, and the sons' attacks on the demons were blocked, so the elite left guards were called, and the father was also asked to calm his anger." ”

King Wen took a deep breath when he heard this, and finally said, "Great Wang'er, although you are in command of the three armies, this left guard is the elite guarding Wang Ji, how can you transfer it like this?"

"The son is guilty. ”

"It's good to know the guilt, transfer the left guard back as soon as possible to protect Wang Ji. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work. The eldest prince said, "Zuo Shuwei is the elite of the elite, the sons are incompetent, it is all by the bravery of Zuo Shuwei, in order to suppress the demons, if there is no Zuo Shuwei, I am afraid that our army has to retreat, decades of hard work will be wasted, and the transaction with Yu Mingguo is afraid that it will not be able to be carried out." ”

Tian Feng glanced at the eldest prince, and knew that the eldest prince was taking the opportunity to seize the power of the army by attacking the demons, and now that the power was in his hands, it was impossible for him to hand it over.

The eldest prince continued, "Father, even if there is no left guard, the son can protect Wang Ji's safety, as long as the father decrees that the son will lead 50,000 tigers back to defend Wang Ji, the son will definitely level Mangdang Mountain in one fell swoop this time." ”

Tian Feng's heart sank when he heard this, and he looked at the eldest prince, "Lead the army back to the royal court, do you want to protect the royal city, or do you want to take the royal city?"

Foreign troops must not enter the royal city, when Tian Feng said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince's 50,000 tiger army is my elite army, deterring Yu Mingguo, how can you easily return to the army, as long as you let Captain Xue train the new army, within a year, the new army will be refined, you can sweep away the vast and wandering soldiers, and at the same time, it also plays a role in training, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Since ancient times, foreign teachers are not allowed to enter Beijing lightly, King Wen doesn't know this truth, and then said, "What Xiangguo said is reasonable, but now that the envoy of Yu Mingguo is imminent, this king can't wait for a year, this king only gives Xue Peng a month to recruit new soldiers, he can be selected from various armies, fill the left guard, the military department shall not interfere, and the military expenses will be paid by the military department."

The military department Shangshu said at this time, "Back to the king, the military department can send troops, but the spirit stones are all supplied to the general to attack the demons, and the military department has no extra spirit stones." ”

When King Wen heard this, he slapped the king's chair angrily and said angrily, "This royal court is still not the royal court of this king." ”

Hearing this, the military department Shangshu knelt on the ground, "The king is angry." ”

King Wen leaned back weakly and glanced at the eldest prince, but saw that the eldest prince stood respectfully, his eyes lowered, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

King Wen looked at Tian Xiangguo again, "Xiangguo, how do you think we can solve the problem of the spirit stone?"

Tian Xiangguo heard this, "Your Majesty, this matter is easy. ”

When King Wen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Xiangguo, hurry up." ”

Tian Fengdao, "The royal court has never allowed court officials to be businessmen, but raising soldiers cannot do without spirit stones, according to the will of Wei Chen, Xue Xiaowei lifted the ban on businessmen, and let him raise spirit stones by himself to support Zuo Shuwei." ”

Hearing this, the military department Shangshu hurriedly said, "The king must not do this, if so, the royal court will lose the greatest constraint on an army, once the left guard will grow stronger in the future, there will be no more constraints, the royal court's order, he wants to listen to it, if he doesn't want to listen to it, he won't listen to it!"

The ministers below also said, "Your Majesty, don't, this method must not be!"

King Wen thought about it carefully, and now there is only this way, so he paid attention to it, and immediately said, "If you think this method is not working, then you can take out the spirit stone, who can take out the spirit stone?"

All the ministers were silent, and King Wen said in a loud voice, "If you don't have any opinions, then shut up the king." ”

"Decree, Peng, as the chief general of the Wangji Zuo Shuwei Captain, discarded the grain and grass, killed and wounded sergeants, according to the military law, the cane was punished eighty, and he was demoted and retained, but because of the matter, the eighty military staff remembered, temporarily led the captain and the chief general, lifted the restrictions on the trade of the Zuo Shuwei, and ordered him to recruit and train new soldiers, within a month, the king will see him lead this new army to exterminate the Liukou in the vast mountains, if it doesn't work out, he won't have to be a captain, use his head to have some royal grace!"

After the end of the early dynasty, the Qin Cha took the holy decree and rushed to the camp of the left guard and read the holy decree.

Xue Peng said respectfully, "Weichen leads the decree, my king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

After receiving the holy decree, Xue Peng sighed in his heart, he was really a companion like a tiger, but he thought about it again, this incident was an opportunity.
