Chapter 697: Imperial Sword
"I'll wait for your news!" Yu Fu said with a smile, turned around and floated out.
The prince watched Yu Fu's figure leave and slowly sat back in the chair. It will take a lot of twists and turns to get the ministers of the court and the emperor to agree to this matter.
They will not believe in a Jianghu person of unknown origin like themselves, let alone easily use military forces to intensify civil conflicts.
Even if Yu Fu, who had made great contributions to the imperial court last time, he saw his father in person, but his father did not necessarily believe him......
The crown prince carefully weighed the various possibilities and pros and cons, and if he was not well prepared, he would not only attract the opposition of some ministers in the court, but also shake his foundation......
In order to make the emperor believe and support this matter, the prince even made a plan to attack Dongting Lake in private.
That night, the prince was busy in his study until dawn.
The next day, in the middle of the court, in the Jinluan Palace, the prince just threw out the topic of cutting off the martial arts, and everyone discussed it to their heart's content.
As a result, the ministers of the DPRK and China were divided into three factions.
One of them believes that the imperial court is not strong enough to worry about external and internal troubles, so it is necessary to stabilize the foundation first, and not to hurt the people's hearts, so he opposes the attack on Wulin.
Second, he believes that he must first secure the interior of the country, and strive to get rid of the martial arts elements that affect the national foundation.
Third, he believes that the people of the outside world will be self-determined and actively prepare for war with Xianbei, and when the time comes, the people in the martial arts will regain confidence in the imperial court......
The prince listened to these people's arguments and did not say a word.
The emperor also saw some clues from this, and did not worry about facing such a controversy as in the past. He was even more curious about why the prince raised such an issue, but he did not join the discussion.
This is a bit unreasonable!
"I'll talk about this later, I'm a little tired today!" the emperor couldn't get what he wanted, got up and yawned and left.
Everyone retreated, but the prince went to the Shang study room alone to see the emperor.
"The Emperor's ......"
The eunuch came in from outside, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by the emperor.
"Did the prince ask to see him?" said the emperor without raising his head.
"Yes!" the chief eunuch was a little stunned, and retreated abruptly.
How did the emperor know the prince's thoughts? Could this be the legendary father-son connection?
"What is the emperor's attitude?" the prince asked the chief eunuch with some anxiety.
The chief eunuch shook his head and said, "The saint's mind slave can't guess it, he seems to have known that you would come!"
The prince was inexplicably a little nervous, as if he had done something wrong and was discovered. He entered the hall with trepidation in his heart.
"The sons and daughters see their father, and today they have caused a controversy among the ministers in the court, and they are here to ask for guilt!" the prince knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Get up, say it straight!" said the Emperor, without even lifting his eyelids, turning through the table full of musicals.
The prince was even more uneasy in his heart. He was nervous that in order not to let the plan fail, he was in the court......
But the emperor's attitude made it impossible for him to judge his attitude at all.
The more you care about something, the more likely you are to be influenced by what you care about. The crown prince at this moment is like this, he is afraid that he will make a mistake and let the whole thing run aground.
If you miss this opportunity, you can only "regret" it as Yu Fu said.
"You seem to have something to say! Just say it!" The emperor was not at all surprised by the prince's abnormality.
It was as if everything he did was under his control. Even he had seen Yu Fu and the battle plan he had planned in his heart had seen through it.
"Erchen has received information that the Jianghu Rebellion Party led by Gongsun Hu is going to fight in Junshan in the middle of Dongting Lake!" The prince hesitated for a moment and directly stated the main reason for the incident. Success or failure is in one fell swoop, rather than suffering from gains and losses, it is better to spread things out directly.
"When did you associate this word with those Jianghu people?" the emperor asked with some surprise, but there was a playful smile on his face.
"The heroes of the rivers and lakes are thinking about the difficulties of the society and worrying about the king. The whole world is not the king's land, and the guest of every inch of land is not the king's minister. The people in the rivers and lakes headed by Gongsun Hu have no regard for the laws and disciplines of the imperial court, so they are naturally chaotic parties!"
"Hmm! ”
"Erchen is willing to personally lead the troops to encircle and suppress Dongting Lake and wipe out those rivers and lakes. Give me peace to the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" said the prince.
"It's not so easy to exterminate the people in the rivers and lakes, how did you get the news, and why are you so confident?" The emperor no longer embarrassed the crown prince, but asked the doubts in his heart.
After a pause, the emperor continued to say earnestly: "You can think clearly, if this is a trick of the Jianghu people, when the imperial court sends troops, they gather people to rebel, when this time of internal and external troubles, it will be a great threat to the foundation of our country." ”
The crown prince finally knew his attitude in the emperor's tone. If you are not completely sure, it is better not to move.
If you don't move, you can maintain the status quo, and if you move, you will set yourself on fire.
"The source is extremely reliable, I wonder if my father still remembers Yu Fu?" the prince asked cautiously.
Back then, Yu Fu broke into the palace alone, which made the emperor extremely jealous.
In the past few years, he has not been ruthless in using martial arts, just because of Yu Fu.
Yu Fu's strength is not as good as Gongsun Hu, Yu Fu can easily enter the palace, then Gongsun Hu can do the same.
If he really angers Gongsun Hu, if he breaks into the palace, his net worth and life are worried.
"Remember, is he still alive?" the Emperor asked, looking at the crown prince with a complicated expression.
"The news came from Yu Futuo. Gongsun Hu and his masters, Yu Fuhui designed to lead to other places. At the same time, he was sure enough to get rid of this scourge. As for his henchmen, Yu Fu hopes that the imperial court will take action and get rid of ...... in Dongting Lake."
The prince carefully recounted what Yu Fu had said to him.
The emperor didn't speak, he carefully considered Yu Fu's personality and his strength, and then calculated the benefits of doing so for himself.
If it can really be like what Yu Fu said: In the future, under his own rule, there will be no such powerful forces in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the country will be aspiring, and Xianbei and Miaojiang will not be in trouble.
The crown prince looked at his father worriedly, as if waiting for the final verdict, and the anxiety in his heart was displayed on his face at a glance.
"I think we can try, but we can't listen to all of him, we need to know where their last battle is!" the emperor said suddenly.
The crown prince didn't know what his father meant, and asked tentatively, "Does my father want to annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
"Yes, it's still a disaster to stay! Who can guarantee that he won't be the next Gongsun Hu!" said the emperor categorically.
"But if we do this, it will inevitably make Yu Fu's heroes feel cold, if we miss, we will ...... in the future," the prince whispered hesitantly.
"Emperor! You must know that the whole world is ours, and whoever we want to die will have to die! You can't even control a single Yu Fu in your own hands, how can you let me deliver this great country to you!"
