Another pavilion elder also chimed in, "Yes, Your Highness, the court is empty, and the entire Wei Dynasty is looking forward to your early return to Kyoto, announcing to the world, and enthroning the throne as emperor! Please set off as soon as possible!"

The sixth prince waved his hand and refused to agree.

"It's not that His Highness wants the two pavilion elders to delay here. It's really because of priorities. The Rakshasa devils outside the border pass are cunning and vicious. If they can't be defeated at once, they will definitely become a nuisance to our Wei Dynasty in the future! Let's not talk about them attacking the border pass. Every year when they harass the border, thousands of mountain people and hunters are burned, killed, and plundered. The people inside the pass are even more anxious all day long. The border guards have to patrol and take precautions all the time, which consumes a lot of financial and material resources.

"Now that the war is more than half over, the grasslands have also sent troops to join forces. This is a rare opportunity. We must completely eliminate the Rakshasa devils, and at least ensure that they will not dare to approach the Wei Dynasty again for ten years.

Otherwise, even if His Highness ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will still be concerned about border issues. The border is peaceful and the people in the north live in peace. This can be regarded as a gift from His Highness to the ancestors. Please feel free to leave their country to Your Highness! "

These words can be said to be reasonable. The war outside the border is indeed the key point. The two pavilion elders looked at each other with helplessness.

This was not the first time such a plea had been made, but it obviously failed again.

As courtiers, they naturally hope that the new emperor will return to Kyoto as soon as possible, but as the new emperor who has been fighting at the border for many days, they naturally also hope that they will finish the battle from beginning to end and drive the enemy thousands of miles away.

At this time, the general stood up at the right time and became the peacemaker.

"Gentlemen, please sit down, and we can talk slowly." After that, he poured tea for everyone, and said, "His Royal Highness grew up in the North, and he is too clear about the importance of border passes, so he has no choice but to see it with his own eyes. Only when you see peace and tranquility can you rest assured. However, the elders of the cabinet also consider the country and the people with their utmost care and are commendable for their loyalty...

"Well, let me put forward an opinion. Why don't you wait for another month? After one month, regardless of whether the Rakshasa Japs are completely annihilated or not, His Highness will go to Beijing with the elders, and the border will be left to me, a stupid general, to continue to lead What do you think about the military expedition?"

The two pavilion elders were immediately happy, with a few wrinkles on their faces, and they all responded.

"Okay, okay, General, this is a good suggestion. General has been guarding the border for many years, so he will naturally keep the peace at the border."

"Yes, yes. If money and food are needed at that time, the general can just send the message to Kyoto, and the six ministries will definitely help."

The sixth prince frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied, but seeing the two veterans looking at him eagerly, he compromised.

"Okay, just listen to the general and let it last for one month."

The two old ministers were completely relieved that they could finally explain to Kyoto. In fact, they are not afraid of waiting, they are afraid of endless waiting. Every time someone from Kyoto came to press for questioning, they felt a little embarrassed.

After all, they had sharpened their brains to get this job, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to complete.

Fortunately, fortunately, we finally saw the light of day today!

Thinking like this, they looked at the general with gratitude, and suddenly felt guilty about having deducted money and food from the border guards...

After a few more small talk, the elders withdrew with a wink, leaving the general and the sixth prince to discuss "military affairs." The general was amused and said in a low voice, "When these two elders first came here, their chins were lifted to the sky, but now their backbones are completely bent. If they understand the situation earlier, they can eat less." suffering."

The sixth prince snorted coldly, with a flash of contempt in his eyes, "The late emperor was fatuous and the government was almost controlled by them, so they will naturally be proud. I'm afraid they are still thinking of using me as a puppet in the future! It's simply a delusion. !

"I'll give them a little more time to temper my temper, and I'll be able to talk to them when I get back to Kyoto. I'll save them from scheming all day long. If they have this in mind, why don't they think more about how to let the people live a good life."

The son actually said that I was fatuous. This was really not respect. However, the general seemed not to notice and responded, "Those people in the court have been doing this for many years. Their glory and wealth are important. When did they ever think about the lives of the people?" ! I’m afraid your highness will have frequent headaches when he goes back later. Unfortunately, I can’t help you.

"Your Highness, don't forget to promise me. In three years' time, I will give up my job. Your Highness must find someone to take over. I'm going to accompany my old wife to see all the world's mountains and rivers, and retire well."

The Sixth Prince heard him say this more than once, and couldn't help but laugh, "I remember, I promised you, and it will definitely not count. However, Yong'an is still too young. After you leave office, you have to congratulate Xiong again." It will take a few years before it can be handed over to Yongan."

"Okay, no problem. He Xiong is still young, so it is most appropriate for him to assist Yong'an." The general agreed immediately, without any intention of asking for He Xiong's opinion.

In the logistics tent, He Xiong sneezed loudly, then rubbed his hands and continued to warm himself by the fire. He smiled and said to Mr. Tai, "Uncle, it's really cold today. Fortunately, the military rations have been transported back, otherwise it would have been very difficult on the way. Suffered."

Mr. Tai had just brought his people to transport the last batch of grain. The road was windy and snowy, so he had to endure some hardships. At this moment, Yonglu was taking ointment to apply frostbite on his grandfather's hands, while Yongyue was making hot tea for his grandfather and adding ginger slices.

Mr. Tai chuckled and responded, "It's the coldest time of the year, so we'll be fine in the first month. It's getting warmer. In April, we can plant corn!"

He Xiong's heart was filled with excitement when he thought of the vast fields of corn, "When the time comes, I will really no longer be afraid of going hungry!"

Tai Yongyue interrupted and said, "By then, will my sister and aunt be able to come back? My eldest brother won't have to go out to fight?"

"Absolutely!" He Xiong lowered his voice and laughed at this silly boy, "When the time comes, your cousin will be the emperor! Who dares to bully your family! The border is even cleaner, and your eldest brother will probably have to shout every day boring!"

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue both laughed, but Mr. Tai looked at it very calmly, "Nothing else matters, as long as the family members get together in peace and live a good life."

He Xiong admired this aspect of the old man the most. If someone else's family was afraid that his tail would be raised to the sky, the Tai family would do as they should, without any arrogance or arrogance.

Even the two pavilion elders who saw the sixth prince talking to the old man yesterday were surprised to find out the identity of the Tai family!

The sixth prince's biological mother died young, and his maternal grandfather's family is no longer around. It can be said that the Tai family is his only relative. The Tai family could enjoy the glory and wealth by enjoying their achievements, but they chose the whole family, young and old, no, the whole family to go into battle to help transport military supplies and kill Rakshasa devils!

From now on, whoever wants to say something mean with a crooked mouth will probably fail!

At this time, Tai Yongan rushed in from outside with a cold air, holding a rabbit in his hand and swinging it, "Grandpa, look, I killed a rabbit on the way back! Roast it and eat it!"

The Sixth Prince then followed in and responded with a smile, "I heard that you went out and killed more than fifty Rakshasa Japs this time? You don't show it off, but you actually treat the rabbit as a treasure!" (End of Chapter)
