Abandoned daughter by a genius doctor: King Leng's favorite concubine

Chapter 826 To send troops or not to send troops

Mu Li took the secret letter into the palace to meet the emperor, the emperor frowned after reading it, and did not speak for a long time.

"Father, I think this matter has yet to be verified."

The emperor put the secret letter on the table: "The letter said that the old emperor of the Shang Dynasty was critically ill, there was internal turmoil in the middle of the dynasty, and the side branches were looming to seize power. If this is true, it would be a good thing for our court."

"Father, my son heard earlier that the prince of the Shang Dynasty is not an idler. He has participated in all the affairs of the Shang Dynasty in these years, and he has shocked many courtiers by means of thunder."

"But the news you gave me last time was that he disappeared."

"Yes, the Shang Dynasty has not been moving recently, but this does not mean that he will not go back to stabilize the overall situation in a critical moment. If we send troops at this time, it will mean that the two countries will collapse, and the war will not be avoided."

"I don't want to trigger a war, and let the people in the border towns be in dire straits, but the wars in the border towns continue, and the two countries have no intention of reconciliation. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to our development."

"Father means, send troops?"

"I haven't decided yet, how about this, call the ministers into the palace, I want to listen to their opinions, come, go to the East Palace, and call the prince too."

This conversation led to the scene where Ye Chengping was urgently called into the palace.

The imperial study room was full of people, the emperor said something, and all the ministers whispered to each other, all sighed.

The old emperor of the Shang Dynasty was old, and this day would happen sooner or later, but it came so suddenly that they didn't have time to think about it. Obviously, the matter was already in front of them, and they had to think of the best countermeasure in a short period of time.

Although it is a matter of the enemy country, they do not understand the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

But they still have doubts. If the internal situation of the Shang Dynasty is resolved soon, then they may not be able to obtain any benefits.

In other words, if you want to attack, you can't tolerate any mistakes.

The emperor looked at the prince: "Prince, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

"Father, the matter is so important that I dare not say it casually. I am still thinking whether to fight or not to fight."

The emperor frowned in dissatisfaction. What the crown prince said meant that he didn't say anything. In fact, he was afraid that if something went wrong in this matter, he would be blamed at that time, so he didn't want to get involved.

"Third, tell me!"

"Father, my son still means as before. It is not appropriate to send troops. Even if you want to send troops, you have to observe and observe again. Only when the Shang Dynasty becomes uncontrollable can we break through in one fell swoop."

When Mu Li said that he would not send troops, the prince would naturally tell him the opposite: "But this time is my best chance to win the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"Father, the Shang Dynasty was once the most powerful dynasty in this continent. You don't need to tell me why you know the reason. I think that underestimating the enemy is the result of the defeated army."

The implication is that the crown prince's thinking is too simple. If the timing is not the best, he must grasp it. If he loses everything by stealing chickens, the entire Mu Dynasty will be ashamed!
The prince was naturally dissatisfied with Mu Li's statement, but he didn't dare to say anything more, because there was no way to refute what he said.

The emperor still swayed from side to side, and finally locked his eyes on Ye Chengping: "What does Ye Hou think about this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised. Ye Chengping was in charge of the household department, and he only needed to cooperate in marching and fighting. Usually, when did the emperor take the initiative to ask his opinion on such things.
