Chapter 484 The Prince ([-])

The prince lay on the bed all day, but he knew everything inside and outside the palace.With just one mouthful, the biggest concern of Yuan Qing and Yuan Hai was hit.

"My grandfather has been in charge of the frontier army for decades, and my uncle has been the chief general of the frontier army for more than ten years. The Yuan family's contribution to Daqi is always remembered by my father."

Zhu Yun said slowly: "As for the frontier army, my father will definitely choose another suitable leader."

As soon as Zhu Yun's words came out, Yuan Qing and Yuan Hai's heart sank.

According to the prince's voice, the position of the commander of the frontier army probably will not fall to Yuan Jiaerlang.

Yuan Hai calmed down and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there are no outsiders here, so I just speak up if I have something to say. My second and third brothers are all in the frontier army, and there are twenty members of the Yuan family's sons and nephews serving in the frontier army." There are more people. In terms of qualifications and military merits, the second brother of the minister is enough to serve as the chief general of the frontier army. Of course, there are so many strong generals in the court, and those who can take on this important task can also pick out three or five people."

"I just don't know who the emperor is interested in."

Yuan Qing's eyes also fell on the prince's face.

His Royal Highness the young crown prince finally showed his demeanor as a crown prince: "The tranquility of the border is very important. Father will definitely choose the most suitable general. Uncle don't have to worry about it, and father-in-law can rest assured."

He is the prince of Daqi first, and then the son-in-law of the Yuan family.He could intercede for Yuan Qing and exonerate him, but he would not defy Qing'an Emperor for the continuation of the Yuan family's military power.

In fact, from the emperor's point of view, it was the correct decision to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the military power of the Yuan family.

The prince's reaction was unexpected, and Yuan Hai was speechless.

Yuan Qing let out a sigh of relief: "Your Highness's words are very true. I am deeply favored by the emperor. Now that I have served as an official, I will take good care of you. I have my own sacred heart to judge the important affairs of the court."

Zhu Yun smiled slightly: "Uncle is really open-minded."

Yuan Hai had no choice but to express his position, saying that he would definitely support the emperor's decision.

Half an hour later, Yuan Hai and Yuan Qing left the palace together and returned to the Yuan Mansion, and went to see the elderly General Yuan first.

Yuan Hai told General Yuan what happened in the palace today, his tone could not help showing a little sullenness.

General Yuan frowned, and glanced at Yuan Hai: "You are dissatisfied, do you think the emperor is ungrateful for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?"

There were only three people in the study, father and son, Yuan Hai didn't mean to hide it, he snorted softly and said, "Isn't it?"

"Back then, he was the King of Yan. He was not the eldest son, his birth mother died early, and he was not the most favored prince. If it weren't for the strong support of our Yuan family, how could he stand out among the princes and become the prince, and why should he sit on the throne smoothly? Dragon chair. It has only been more than a year now, and we have forgotten the credit of our Yuan family, and want to take the opportunity to weaken the Yuan family's military power. Isn't this ungrateful and ingratitude?"

Yuan Qing frowned, and before he opened his mouth, General Yuan snorted coldly: "If you think so, it means that the Yuan family's loss of military power is not wronged at all!"

"The Yuan family fully supports King Yan's ascension to the throne. Could it be that the emperor didn't reward the Yuan family generously?"

"The Yuan family came out of the queen and the concubine. The prince has the blood of the Yuan family on his body, and the future grandson will also be the same. As a courtier, the honor of the Yuan family has reached its peak. You still want to hold on to military power? Let it go, is it possible to become Wang Mang!"

Yuan Hai's complexion changed suddenly: "Father! I am completely loyal to the emperor, and I will never betray my heart."

Cold sweat also broke out on Yuan Qing's forehead: "Father is serious. Our Yuan family is loyal to the court, and the emperor will not be suspicious of us."

General Yuan said coldly with a sullen face: "People's hearts are separated by belly. I am the father of both of you. I dare not say that I know what is going on in your heart. Your Majesty is bold and scheming, and he is wary of the Yuan family." That's the truth."

"Think about it with your heart, if you change positions with the emperor, can you do what the emperor does?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yuan Qing: "As a general, you have lost battles one after another and killed and injured countless soldiers and civilians. General He died in battle, and the crown prince was injured. The emperor did not punish you, but let you serve as a general. Isn't it the emperor? En mighty?"

Yuan Qing: "..."

General Yuan's finger changed direction and pointed at Yuan Hai's nose: "You always regard yourself as the prince's father-in-law, make friends with courtiers, and secretly encourage the prince to go to the border. Does the emperor have any doubts or blame you? Is he being extra tolerant to you? ?”

Yuan Hai: "..."

Yuan Qing and Yuan Hai were speechless.

General Yuan snorted heavily: "The emperor has treated our Yuan family with great kindness. Both of you should calm down honestly, don't ruin the fortune of the Yuan family, let alone embarrass the empress and concubine in the palace. "

Yuan Qing and Yuan Hai were scolded by General Yuan, and responded in a disgruntled manner.

……

In the East Palace, Zhu Yun was also whispering to Yuan Min.

"...Min'er, I understand what my father-in-law means. However, I also have difficulties. I can't change what my father decides. Moreover, from the standpoint of the East Palace, I also feel that the frontier army needs to change."

Zhu Yun recalled the few months in the frontier army, and heaved a long sigh: "The frontier army has lost its blood and courage. If it weren't for the imperial court sending reinforcements one after another, if it wasn't for General He's bloody battle to burn down the food and grass of the Tartars. Whether the war can be won or not is hard to say."

Even in the subsequent pursuit of victory, it was Shen You who suggested General Meng to lead the soldiers, which shows how far the frontier army has come.

Yuan Min listened silently, wiping Zhu Yun's forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.After Zhu Yun finished speaking, he said softly: "I don't understand the important affairs of the court. There are always reasons for the emperor to make decisions."

"I am the daughter of the Yuan family, and even more the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. From now on, the power of Daqi will pass to our son sooner or later."

"Which is more important, I can tell clearly."

A torrent surged in Zhu Yun's heart, and he held his wife's hand tightly: "Just don't blame me."

There was a flash of water in Yuan Min's eyes, and his voice was a little choked up: "How could I blame you. If you hadn't insisted on going to the border to get rid of uncle's crime, you ended up being hit by a poisonous arrow and injured like this..."

Yuan Min turned his head aside, weeping.

Zhu Yun's right arm was injured, and he couldn't move it. He raised his left hand, but he couldn't reach it. He said helplessly, "I can't wipe your tears for you. Wipe your tears yourself, and treat it as a help for me."

Yuan Min was full of sadness, and was stunned to burst into tears by Zhu Yun's teasing: "What time is it, you still have the mood to joke."

Zhu Yun really laughed: "I'm in good shape now, I don't have any missing arms or legs, so why can't I be joking."

After a pause, he said softly: "If I can't lift the pen with my right hand in the future, I will use my left hand instead. Even if the handwriting is ugly, no one will pick it up, let alone hinder me from being a prince."

It turned out that he knew everything.

Yuan Min trembled all over, tears welled up in his eyes.
