The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 305
Xie Yao felt that his father was really whimsical.

He had just carefully read the secret report on the imperial case, and it was nothing more than Xu Wentao took advantage of Beidi's unpreparedness and captured several cities in Beidi, killing nearly ten thousand enemies.

Beidi has a vast territory. For Beidi, this loss is nothing.

On Dayan's side, occupying those cities is purely tasteless.

To the north of Jinlan Pass is an endless grassland, and there is no danger at all.

Even if Xu Wentao conquered the city, it would be extremely difficult to defend it with Dayan's current military and financial resources.

Dayan's move will inevitably lead to Beidi's counterattack. At that time, Beidi will raise troops to question the crime, and Dayan may be hard-pressed to resist.

Thinking of Xu Wentao messing up the good situation of the peace negotiation, Xie Yao became very angry.

Beidi had already confirmed all the terms of the peace negotiation, and it was only a matter of the emperor agreeing.

Seeing that Dayan and Beidi turned their fighting into friendship, they have lived in peace since then, but they were messed up by this unreasonable war.

It seems that what Zhang Ruogu said is right, we still need to use erudite Confucianism to govern the country, and we can't count on this group of simple-minded generals.

But even though Xie Yao thought about it, seeing the emperor's high interest, he didn't dare to disappoint, he just said: "Father, Emperor Benevolent and Virtuous, is a rare holy master in the past and present, and future generations will have their own opinions. Beidi is insignificant. Whether he is present or not is the same as Father's holy name is not a problem."

"Since ancient times, every enlightened monarch must have achievements in martial arts and martial arts."

The emperor said: "Bei Di is a serious trouble to my confidant. If I can teach Bei Di to submit to my Dayan in my lifetime, I will eliminate the disaster for all generations. an explanation."

Xie Yao was shocked when he heard this, and his first reaction was that his father had lost his mind.

Not to mention that the military power of Dayan and Beidi is far apart, Dayan's treasury is empty at present, and the official army has been stalemate with the rebels in Guanzhong, so it has no strength to fight Beidi.

Going to war rashly will only give Beidi an excuse to raise troops.

Once Beidi goes south again, what will happen is really unpredictable.

Xie Yao felt that as the prince of a country, he could not just sit back and watch the war resume. He bowed to the emperor and said solemnly: "Father, a soldier, an ominous weapon, use it as a last resort. Our dynasty has fought with Beidi for many years, causing countless injuries. , both the government and the people hope for peace. It is rare that Beidi has the intention to stop fighting. This is a very good situation for peace talks, and we must not lose the big because of small things!"

Regarding Xie Yao's statement, the emperor was noncommittal, just waved his hand at Xie Yao, and said with a smile: "Yao'er, you don't need to say any more, this great victory in the northern border is just a small test, wait a few months, you will know Understand my deployment."

Xie Yao wanted to remonstrate again, but the emperor changed the subject and said, "I heard from Zhang Ruogu that you have made a lot of progress these days, and you have begun to handle political affairs with ease. Now I am at ease. I might as well talk to you today Let me tell you the truth, I chose Xiao Sier to assist you. When you succeed, let Xiao Sier assign people to do those things that offend others. As long as you brothers work together, you don’t have to worry about Dayan not having Zhongxing. One day."

This time, Xie Yao was even more frightened when he heard it, and suddenly raised his head to look at the emperor.

He and Xie Xi have been brothers for so many years, and he knows Xie Xi's temper well.

Xie Xi disobeyed discipline since he was a child. Not only did the masters in the study dislike him, but he also had frequent conflicts with his brothers.

After becoming an adult, Xie Xi was even more lawless, and had a reputation of being frivolous and frivolous in Beijing.

At the beginning, the emperor would reprimand a few words, but later, even the emperor was helpless.As a result, Xie Xi ran amok in the capital, and none of the civil and military officials dared to provoke him.

Xie Yao thought to himself, let such a person assist him, how will he be able to convince the ministers in the future?

However, the emperor seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said kindly: "Little Si'er has been lonely since she was a child, and she has received a lot of cold eyes in and out of the palace. He treats everyone equally. Don't worry, Xiao Si'er is a child who understands the general situation. When you succeed to the throne, he will be your right-hand man and will never hold you back."

Xie Yaoyue found that after his father's illness a few days ago, his mind was a little confused.

In the past, when dealing with court affairs, the emperor always put the overall situation first.

In recent days, when dealing with the court affairs, he began to act arbitrarily.

The emperor first asked Cao Lang to deal with a large number of officials in the south of the Yangtze River vigorously, and then Qian Minzhong sent a few trusted disciples to Guanzhong.

What made Xie Yao even more unhappy was that the emperor had been intentionally delaying the progress of Beidi's peace talks, which caused him a lot of criticism from the ruling and opposition parties.

Now that Dayan provoked the war in the northern border, how to deal with Yuan Zhan's monstrous anger gave Xie Yao a real headache.

The same headache, and the people in the cabinet.

Those old bones who have spent half their lives in officialdom are best at figuring out what they want.

But in these few months, no one could guess the emperor's mind.

According to Zhang Ruogu, even veteran cabinet ministers like Qian Minzhong and Shen Changde often complain in private recently, saying that the emperor's temper is becoming more and more unpredictable.

Xie Yao sighed secretly in his heart, the heart of heaven is unpredictable, not to mention their courtiers, even his son, did not understand what the emperor was thinking.

These days, whether it was the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the quelling of chaos in Guanzhong, or the negotiation of peace in Beidi, the emperor's actions were inexplicable.

Xie Yao felt uneasy in his heart, always feeling that the emperor was hiding many things from him.

Is the father dissatisfied with himself, or does he have other ideas?
I thought that the road ahead would be smooth after winning the crown prince's position, but from the present point of view, it is not that simple.

For a moment, Xie Yao's high spirits these days suddenly disappeared without a trace.

As the prince, Xie Xi doesn't have so many troubles.

Even with the emperor's strict order to restrict feet, it couldn't stop Xie Xi from going out.

When Xie Yao was worrying about gains and losses, Xie Xi took a large group of friends to his own Huangzhuang in the western suburbs for an autumn outing.

This time, Xie Xi was playing in the name of celebrating Xu Wentao's victory in the northern border.

But anyone who is familiar with Xie Xi knows that Xie Xi has always competed with Xu Wentao, but he would not make such a big fanfare for Xu Wentao.

In fact, Xie Xi's mind was very simple, he just wanted to find an excuse to spend more time with Lin Zisu.

When I went to the Lin Mansion in the past few days, although Lin Yuanzhi's future father-in-law's attitude towards him has changed, he has always kept that face cold. Xie Xi is thick-skinned, and feels that if this continues, the two have not waited for their wedding , Lin Yuanzhi will be thoroughly offended.

Simply taking advantage of the freshness of autumn, he found an excuse to invite Lin Zisu out alone without looking at Lin Yuanzhi's face.

Lin Yuanzhi immediately agreed to the matter, and then called Lin Wenjing to the front, and asked Lin Wenjing to go with him on the grounds of adjustment.
