Chapter 417
Zhang He was frightened into a cold sweat by his words, this idiot, doesn't he know that Beiguan is now the crown prince's world?If you dare to speak ill of the prince so blatantly, if you don't want to live, don't drag him to be buried with him!He still has a wife and children!
"Lord Zhou, the situation in Beiguan is serious now, and the two armies are about to fight. At this time, the prince really can't go back! Just wait for a few more days, and wait for the prince to lead troops to capture Tongcheng and drive Beimeng back. , and go back with you to return to your life, it’s not too late these days!” Zhang He persuaded earnestly.

If Zhou Song is smart, he should know that the current situation in Beiguan is not dictated by an imperial decree.

The emperor recruited the crown prince back to Beijing at this time because he was afraid that the crown prince's prestige in Beiguan would be too high, which would affect his status.But everyone knows that the emperor's body is no longer good, and he may not be able to survive for a few days. Although they obey the emperor's order, the emperor's order is important, and so is life!If he was in the capital now, and the emperor could threaten his life at any time, then of course he would listen to the emperor.But now they are in Beiguan, and the one who can control their lives is the crown prince.

"General Zhang, how long have you been here in Beiguan? Could it be that you have already taken refuge in the prince? You and I are both working for the emperor. You should know that the person the emperor prefers is the second prince. If you help the prince at this time, you are not afraid. , when the second prince ascends the throne, will you be punished?" Zhou Song snorted, "Don't tell me, you won't understand the emperor's intention of recruiting the prince back to Beijing. If so, then even I can't help you. "

Zhang He frowned: "Lord Zhou, for the sake of our acquaintance, I also want to say a few heartfelt words to you. It is true that the emperor prefers the second prince, but now that the second prince is not enthroned for a day, the outcome is uncertain. Now the battle of Beiguan has been half successful, and it seems that the army of Beimeng can be driven out of the imperial kingdom. It is not a good thing for the emperor to recall the prince and replace the general at this time. If Beimeng takes advantage of the momentum to pursue, all the efforts before It’s wasted, when the time comes, the people will rebel and the empire will be in jeopardy! If Master Zhou can see the situation clearly, he should know how to choose at this time. That’s all I can say.”

Zhang He only found out after he came to Beiguan that the people had long been dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, and there had been continuous uprisings before. In addition, Luo Cheng only wanted to kill people, so many people secretly scolded the emperor for his inhumanity.If the prince hadn't come to Beiguan to try to turn the tide, and seized the lower city in one fell swoop, avenging the people, the current Beiguan would not know what chaos it would be like!

No matter how stupid Zhang He was, he knew that, first, the crown prince was not to be messed with.Second, the common people are even more annoying.If the common people rebel, it will be a series of incidents, and the troubles will grow bigger and bigger, and no one can deal with them.

After saying this, Zhang He didn't want to say any more, and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, General Zhang!" Zhou Song was really out of breath, what's going on?All of them don't pay attention to the emperor's will?
"What other orders does Master Zhou have?" Zhang He asked politely.

"Take me to see the crown prince!" He wanted to see, if the emperor's imperial edict had been delivered to him, he would still refuse to accept it!

Looking at Zhou Song's furious look, Zhang He knew that he hadn't heard his words at all, and since that was the case, he had nothing to say.
