Sui Sui Jianing

The imperial palace that had been quiet was boiling again.

The imperial study room was brightly lit, and the ministers came in through the snow with heavy footsteps. When they reached the door, they looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

The atmosphere was so serious that it was breathless.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

Someone shouted, and the ministers turned around to salute, "His Royal Highness—"

The prince raised his hand, with a serious expression on his face: "You don't need to be too polite, father is already waiting in the imperial study, go in."

"Yes."

Seeing him like this, the already nervous minister became even more nervous.

When the crown prince entered the imperial study, the emperor was standing behind the desk with his hands behind his back, staring at the map on the wall in a daze.

After hearing the movement, he turned around, and coughed twice as soon as he opened his mouth, "You... cough cough——"

"Have a sip of tea, Your Majesty."

Zhong Qian came forward with hot tea and patted him on the back.

The emperor waved his hand, frowning tightly, "I can't drink it."

Before the clock had to put the tea back.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

"no."

He picked up the [-] miles on the table and hurriedly threw it on the ground, "Let me ask you, what happened to the border? A city was lost, and the news reached Jindu?"

The prince knelt down immediately, picked up the letter and looked at it, his expression became more serious, "Father, the new king of Southern Xinjiang has only just succeeded to the throne, where does he have the courage and confidence to directly send troops to Dayan?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" The emperor slapped the table.

"Your Majesty, since Southern Xinjiang has already fought, the most urgent thing is to fight first, and release the others first, otherwise the border will be in danger!" The prime minister came out and said.

As soon as the words were finished, there was another commotion outside, and Wei Jiuyuan and Chu Wuhen came in together.

The emperor glanced at them and raised his hand, Wei Jiuyuan walked over without saluting.

Chu Wuhen stood on the other side.

The prime minister glanced at him and continued: "Now that Nanjiang dares to challenge Dayan directly, he must have made enough preparations. Xu Wancheng has been guarding the border for many years and is quite experienced in dealing with people from Nanjiang. Now he is seriously injured and comatose. There may be something wrong with it. .”

"My minister seconded the proposal, but Xu Wancheng was unable to resist the surprise attack in Southern Xinjiang, and he retreated steadily. Either Nanjiang has a fierce general this time, or Xu Wancheng is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"

"If you label General Xu before the truth has been found out, you won't be afraid of chilling the hearts of the border soldiers? Please be careful, my lords!"

"Then how do you explain what happened this time—"

……

The ministers started arguing in a hurry, and you got blushed and neck thick in arguing with each other.

After hearing this, Chu Wuhen understood the ins and outs of the matter, turned his head to look at the emperor, the veins on the emperor's forehead popped up, and he slammed the table, "Shut up! Cough, cough, cough——"

After shouting, he coughed even worse. His face was red at first, but now his face was red from head to neck, and his eyes protruded, making him look very scary.

Chu Wuhen frowned, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty calm down, the dragon body is important!"

"Father calm down—"

The crown prince and princes took the lead and knelt down. Wei Jiuyuan lowered his eyes to hide his emotions.

Zhong Qian patted the emperor on the back, seeing his breathing getting heavier and heavier, he said in a panic: "Tell the imperial doctor, pass on the imperial physician—"

"Need not!"

The emperor gasped heavily, took a sip from the teacup on the table, closed his eyes, and managed to catch his breath.

"Whoever quarrels again, get out and kneel!"

After the emperor finished speaking intermittently, he opened his eyes and looked at the people kneeling on the ground, "At present, there is no one on the border to take charge of the overall situation, so we must immediately send someone to lead troops to appease the people."

"The emperor's words are very true. My son thinks that it is necessary to send a man with outstanding reputation and ability as the commander-in-chief, and then send a supervisor to exercise the power of supervision and thoroughly investigate Xu Wancheng's defeat."

Wei Jiuyuan folded his hands and looked at the emperor sincerely.

It is definitely necessary to send people, but who to send is a problem.

The emperor was silent for a moment, the red on his face gradually faded, showing a bit of fatigue, "In your opinion, who should we send?"

Wei Jiuyuan said in a deep voice: "My son is not talented, I am willing to do my best for Dayan!"

"How can this be done? Your Highness is a dragon son, with a high status, how can you put yourself in danger?"

Some ministers jumped out to oppose it, while others supported it, "It is the dragon son who can appease the hearts of the people, let the people know the attitude of the royal family, and can also inspire the army. I think His Royal Highness's words are feasible!"

"My minister agrees!"

"I object to this!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the prince suddenly said, "Royal father, I think that if you want to send someone of high status, I will do my part."

The officials were startled and stared at his back without having time to speak.

"My son is the crown prince, the heir of the country. No one can represent the attitude of the royal family better than this son. What's more, my son has practiced martial arts since childhood. He has never been abandoned for many years. He has the power to protect himself. He will definitely be able to command the army and take back Great Yan. For the city, please complete the imperial father!"

He clasped his hands together and kowtowed heavily.

Wei Jiuyuan followed closely, "Father, since the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, there should be no difference. The son is no match for the prince. Whether he lives or dies, the foundation of the country will not be shaken. Let the son go!"

He also kowtowed, and the officials didn't know who to support for a while.The emperor also frowned, looking at this and then that, hesitating.

The prince and Wei Jiuyuan insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.

Chu Wuhen also squinted his eyes. If Wei Jiuyuan went to the border and made military achievements, he would definitely replace the prince in the future!Even if the crown prince went up by himself, it was impossible for Wei Jiuyuan to go.

Now Wei Jiuyuan is only one military power short, and he has more southern borders than the prince. Once he is released to the border, he will be like a fish in water.

And let the prince go, there must be a net of heaven and earth, the prince is afraid that he will never return, and Wei Jiuyuan can be justified in his position.

Either way, it's a dead end.

Many thoughts flashed through Chu Wuhen's mind. Xie Shuangge's words were still in his ears before he left, but now he can only break his promise.

Tightening his hands tightly, amidst the commotion, he raised his voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to southern Xinjiang on behalf of the prince—"

As soon as these words came out, the imperial study room suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The ministers looked at each other, and then all looked at Chu Wuhen.

The prince also looked at him in surprise: "Marquis Changping, leading troops to fight is not a joke, have you thought it through?"

The emperor also stared at him closely, "Marquis Changping, although you are very skilled in martial arts, fighting is not a one-man job. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, let alone thousands of troops? If you have three strengths and two weaknesses, what will Jianing do? ?”

"Furthermore, you have no marching experience, that's not right."

The emperor subconsciously objected.

However, Chu Wuhen has made up his mind, "Generals are not born to know how to fight, they are all acquired. I still know a little bit about this aspect, not to mention that there are no generals available in the court, either old or far away, and cannot be dispatched in a short time. The situation in southern Xinjiang is urgent and there is no need for delay, and this minister is the best choice."

The emperor frowned, "General Peng returned to Jindu, he..."

"General Peng is stationed in northern Xinjiang. Now that southern Xinjiang is invading, it is difficult to guarantee that other small countries will not have dissent. If General Peng is asked to leave the north and go south, who will guard the northern border?"

"Besides, the customs and terrain of northern Xinjiang are very different from those of southern Xinjiang. Instead of letting General Peng adapt to the northern border, and then sending other people to adapt to the northern border, it is better to let General Peng return to the northern border immediately just in case. If you go to the southern border, even if you cannot retreat The enemy will not give up the city and land, even if Princess Jianing knows about it, she will praise her loyalty."

The emperor hesitated to speak, but he had nothing to refute. Chu Wuhen made every sentence reasonable. He weighed for a moment and stood up.

"Feng Chu Wuhen is the general of Zhenguo, leading three thousand brocade guards, leading ten thousand five-color battalion soldiers, escorting food and grass, and immediately setting off for the southern border!"
