The heavens set sail from the courtyard

The capital of Daliang Kingdom, Jinling Palace.

Emperor Liang looked at the battle report in his hand, and his face was extremely gloomy. The civil and military officials in the main hall stood in two rows, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressed.

The Minister of War was kneeling in the middle, and his forehead was slightly sweating at this time.

"You traitor!" Emperor Liang suddenly stood up and shouted: "Who gave him the courage to send troops to meet the enemy without permission, and to kill him and surrender!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War trembled all over and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court gave the order to the Beimo Army not to go out, but the Xuanjing Division reported to King Jing to send troops without permission. This is actually disobeying the emperor's order and is suspected of provoking a war between the two countries. , I sincerely request your Majesty to take back the power of Prince Jing to supervise the army and transfer it back to the capital."

Emperor Liang took a look at the civil and military officials of the court and found that most people agreed with what the Minister of War said.

"Prince, you are the brother of Prince Jing, what do you think?" Emperor Liang suddenly put away all his anger and turned to look at the person in the first row next to him who was wearing rich clothes.

The prince swallowed his saliva, took half a step forward, bowed and said to Emperor Liang: "Father, I feel that what the Minister of War said is a bit serious.

The seventh brother just happened to encounter Dayan cavalry on his way out for hunting, and the conflict between the two sides was not that he sent troops without permission as the Minister of War said. "

Emperor Liang snorted and said, "You know a lot about border wars!"

The prince broke out in cold sweat instantly.

At this time, a man walked out of the ranks of military generals, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, as the crown prince of a country, the prince wants to share your worries for your majesty, so he has been paying attention to the border battles and deduced wars with us and other military generals. Please give your majesty a clear warning."

Emperor Liang had a straight face and asked another young man next to him: "Prince Yu, what do you say about Prince Jing sending troops without permission?"

Opposite the prince, a heroic young man took half a step forward and bowed: "To inform my father, I feel that my seventh brother has no courage to send troops without authorization, and he only brought a few hundred horses with him. He should really be going hunting!"

The Minister of War glanced at King Yu strangely. Didn't he ask him to read a copy of King Jing's book when he went to court?
Emperor Liang's face softened a little, and he said to Prince Yu kindly, "You are a bit of an elder brother when you protect your younger brother."

Hearing this, the prince's nose almost turned crooked with anger. What was the difference between what King Yu said and what he said?
As a father, you can't be so biased!
Emperor Liang didn't notice at all that he had broken the heart of one of his sons, and continued to say to King Yu: "In any case, King Jing sent troops without authorization and disobeyed the emperor's order. His crime is unforgivable. He immediately sent someone to call the traitor back. The Ministry of War Draft another candidate for the supervisor."

When King Yu heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up. He had long been coveting the cavalry of the Bei Mo Army. If the Supervisor Army could place one of his own, then his power would surpass the prince's.

The Minister of War was about to accept the order when suddenly a general came to the palace with a sword and said a few words to the eunuch.

The eunuch ran to the imperial desk in a small step and handed a scroll to Gao Zhan, the personal eunuch of Emperor Liang.

After getting the scroll, Gao Zhan's expression changed, and he immediately ran to Emperor Liang's ear and said: "There is an urgent report from the Beimo Army from eight hundred miles away."

Emperor Liang's eyes widened, thinking that Beiyan had officially sent troops to attack Daliang. Otherwise, how could Beimo's military report bypass the Ministry of War and be presented directly to his case.

"Bring the military report!" Emperor Liang grabbed the scroll, opened the seal, and took out a piece of tissue paper inside.

After Emperor Liang read the military report recorded on the tissue paper, his expression changed. It was a complex expression mixed with shock, disbelief, relief and other emotions.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the military report in Emperor Liang's hand.

King Yu boldly asked: "Father, the latest battle report has come from the front line."

Emperor Liang's mouth curled up and he suddenly laughed.

"Haha, you are really my Huang Xuer."

Everyone was confused by Emperor Liang's sudden laughter?

Emperor Liang handed the battle report to Gao Zhan and said, "Please pass it on to them for a look!"

Gao Zhan held the battle report in his hands and handed it to the prince first.

After the prince read the battle report, the expression on his face became strange, and then he handed it to other ministers for circulation.

"The army of Beimo came to report that Dayan led [-] cavalry to invade, but was repulsed by King Jing's troops. In this battle, we annihilated [-] enemies, captured [-], and collected [-] horses." The Minister of War read the battle report. , the speaking voice has changed.

At this time, another young eunuch entered the palace and whispered a few words in Gao Zhan's ear.

Gao Zhan excitedly ran to Emperor Liang and said: "Xuanjing Division has come to report that Dayan has sent envoys to sue for peace and prepare to redeem his soldiers and horses."

Emperor Liang was happy again now, smiling like a child weighing nearly [-] pounds.

The prince took the opportunity to say: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. This is Dayan admitting that he has lost!"

King Yu rolled his eyes and said: "Congratulations to my father. This great victory of our dynasty will surely shock all countries and shock all directions." Emperor Liang became happier as he listened, but then an inappropriate voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, the battle report said that King Jing severely attacked the Yan army. He violated the imperial order!" The Minister of War said excitedly:
"The imperial court requires defense, but Prince Jing dares to attack. This is contempt of imperial power. This is..."

"Shut up." Emperor Liang shouted angrily: "The Beimo Army won a great victory. Are you dissatisfied?"

The Minister of War was agitated, sweating profusely, and couldn't help but look to King Yu for help.

King Yu wished he could give this fool a slap in the face. Didn't he see that his father was in high spirits at this time?Why are you talking about this?

And if you are looking at me at this time, don't you tell everyone that you, the Minister of War, are the ones I want to honor the king!
At this time, Emperor Liang also noticed the eyes of the Minister of War, and his eyes became colder and colder.

King Yu quickly interrupted: "Father, my seventh brother has made great contributions, and the court should reward him heavily. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the border officers and soldiers."

Emperor Liang hummed and said: "What contribution can he make as a supervisor of the army? It's not because Fang Wu has commanded well and passed on my oral instructions. Fang Wu was granted the title of first-class military marquis and will command Liang Yan's border army in the future."

As for that traitor, get out of here and go back to Jinling immediately. "

"Father, the Holy Ming!" King Yu said with a smile.

After going to court, the prince returned to the East Palace and lost his temper. He even scolded several eunuchs and maids with a stick, almost beating them to death. It was not until Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ning State, asked to see him that he stopped.

Xie Yu was the person who had just spoken to the prince in the main hall.

"Mr. Xie, thank you for speaking for me in the hall today." The prince calmed down slightly when he saw Xie Yu.

Xie Yu glanced at the chaotic East Palace and reminded: "The prince will behave in a low-key manner from now on. If this reaches His Majesty's ears, he will inevitably be reprimanded again."

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "Have I been reprimanded less since I became the prince?"

Xie Yu said: "The prince is the crown prince of a country, and his reputation is extremely important. If there is a reputation for tyranny, wouldn't it give King Yu an opportunity to impeach you?"

The prince sat down dejectedly and said: "My position as prince will be given to Prince Yu sooner or later, so why should I care so much."

Xie Yu looked at the decadent prince and felt a little resentful that iron could not turn into steel.

"Prince, please cheer up, you are the crown prince of the country and the future of Daliang."

Xie Yu encouraged the prince with a few words and finally cheered him up.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, should we try to win over Prince Jing when he returns to Beijing this time?" The prince said sinisterly, "He is also a bit of a general."

Xie Yu shook his head and said: "Prince Jing is an upright man and there is no way he can become our man."

The prince snorted coldly: "Since he can't be used by me, I can't let him become the second Prince Yu."

King Yu and the Crown Prince are in a rivalry and are competing for the throne. It is well known throughout the whole court. Today, the courtiers in the main hall are divided into two factions, which can be seen from the fact that the two kings are fighting each other.

Xie Yu looked around in surprise and reminded the prince: "Be careful, the walls have ears."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xie, everyone in this East Palace is my confidant, and our words will never be spread outside!"

Xie Yu was still worried, so he took out paper and pen and wrote: "Be careful in everything, don't be careless, and never let any confidential information reach the ears of a third person."

After writing, Xie Yu burned the paper.

The prince also took a pen and paper and wrote: "I am worried that Prince Jing will threaten the position of crown prince in the future. You should find a way to get rid of him."

Xie Yu wrote: "Assassinating the prince is no small matter. Besides, Prince Jing is always in the army and protected by a large army, so it is difficult to assassinate him."

"It is impossible for him to bring too many people with him on his way back to Beijing," the prince wrote with a sinister smile.

Xie Yu shook his head and said: "This matter is really difficult to handle!"

The prince squinted his eyes and said, "When the deed is accomplished, I will be grateful."

Xie Yu struggled for a long time and finally nodded.
