Pick up a princess

Chapter 144 The First Game (5)

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly—" A young talented man did not agree with the Fifth Prince's words, and frowned, "Although General Huo Guang is old, he has won the hearts of the army. It is inevitable that many soldiers in the army will be cut off like this." Dissatisfied, and Huo Fei, the son of Huo Guang, is young and promising, let him lead the army, not only to stabilize the court, but also to suppress the enemy..."

"Huo Fei has no experience as a general, everything is like talking on paper—" the fifth prince Qing Ming once again clasped his hands and argued, as if he didn't like the rumored general Huo Fei.

Emperor Ming waved his hand, turned his eyes to the eighth prince Xiyan who had been silent all the time, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Xiyan, what do you think?"

Emperor Ming's question made everyone's eyes turn to him, while the interrupted Fifth Prince Qing Ming's face was dark and unclear.

"Although Huo Fei has no experience as a general, if he is endowed with a leisurely job in terms of military intelligence and military strategy, he will inevitably be overqualified. In addition, his father Huo Guang's military power has been reduced. Not only the Huo family, but also the whole court think that his father has become suspicious... ..." The Eighth Prince Xiyan spoke calmly, and he was able to maintain a calm posture under the scrutiny of many people, which made Shen Qing admire him.

"General Huo Guang has made great contributions to our court and is loyal. If he is cut off power rashly, I am afraid that the generals and the soldiers will be disappointed. My son thinks that the father can reward the Huo family with a title of loyal minister, which will not hinder military power. Gradually withdrawing it will not make the ministers of the court panic..."

After Xi Yan finished speaking, Emperor Ming's face became much clearer, and even a few young courtiers nodded in agreement.Listening to their words, Shen Qing probably understood the cause and effect.

The emperor wants to centralize power, but he is afraid that it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction. If it is serious, it may overthrow the court... Just like Kangxi's cutting the feudal clan back then, it also caused panic among the feudal princes...

"Then what does the eighth brother think that Huo Fei should be in order to silence all the ministers in the court?" Qing Ming, the fifth prince, asked calmly, with an aggressive posture towards Xi Yan.

"General of the Imperial Forest Army..." Before the Eighth Prince could answer, Shen Qing blurted out without thinking.As a result, everyone's eyes turned from the eighth prince to Shen Qing.

She is not so pushy, looking at the weird eyes of those people, it could be that there is no such organization as the Imperial Forest Army, right?Then she's going to make a joke!
