Chapter 89

"Prince, the old minister thinks that it is reasonable to send troops, but King Jing's words are not unreasonable. This dispatch of troops to fight is a major matter related to the country, and there must be a precise arrangement. How many troops to send has to be counted."

Following the prince's voice, another peacemaker came.

Yan Yeling sighed: "Anyway, we shouldn't start a war first."

"Brother, I don't understand. How can we count as the first to ignite the flames of war? Isn't the life of the caravan and the people important? My Chiyan subjects are not allowed to be trampled by others. This is also trampling on the dignity of our monarch. This prince has always been this opinion. , Conquest can only be done by force, there is no other way." The prince said righteously.

"Brother Huang, the matter of the people's caravan is of course intolerable. However, what evidence shows that it was done by the Beiming army. Didn't it also be mentioned in the battle report? Is that just a suspicion? The border tension issue did not happen recently. It is not only between our country and Beiming, but the key to solving the problem is not just sending troops? Regarding the matter of sending troops, I still think that it should not be hasty. Large-scale sending of troops to Beiming will cause other borders and domestic defenses to be empty , if there is another country taking advantage of the chaos, it must be guarded against." Yan Yeling said calmly.

"Not reckless? What is not reckless? Why do we call reckless when we fight back? I really don't know why King Jing is so timid here, please give us an explanation?" The discussion on state affairs has risen to personal attacks.

"Brother Huang, I don't mean that. We can also send troops to support, but don't start a war right now. Brother Rong Chen sends someone to investigate first, and then make a decision..."

"It's okay to investigate, but who will pay for the delay of the fighter?" The prince looked at him and said.

"I will lose." Yan Yeling said firmly.

"I don't understand, this matter is obvious, King Jing, what do you want to investigate?" The crown prince changed the subject, and he argued that of course Yan Yeling would not be given a chance to persuade the courtiers.

"Of course it is to find out why Bei Ming suddenly caused trouble. I, Chi Yan, did not do anything that would damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries. What are they doing this time?"

The emperor opened his mouth: "Shut up, both of you, and listen to other people's opinions."

The ministers began to express their opinions in a hurry, and the opinions of the two princes were supported by others.

But obviously there are many main battles.

Yan Yeling's power is slightly inferior.

The prince's faction won.

Yan Yeling wanted to continue to dissuade him, but unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand and stopped the quarrel between the two camps: "Bei Ming has already gathered soldiers on our border and kept harassing us. The fault is first, not that we don't cherish the two camps." The country's friendship, since then sending troops will not be fulfilled, what do you think?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Yan Yeling took two steps back silently and said nothing more.

It was the crown prince who heard the emperor standing by his side, with a look of victory on his face.It was as if the battle was over and won.

The emperor looked at the prince with approval on his face.

Finally retreated.

The ministers walked out slowly.

He Lianyu was stopped by the prime minister.

The two followed behind the crowd, chatting as they walked.

After a few gossips, the prime minister asked, "What is General He's opinion on what happened in the court just now? You didn't express your opinion."

He Lianyu smiled, looked at the prime minister and said, "Didn't the prime minister also say nothing?"

"Then according to the general's opinion, should this battle be fought?" The prime minister asked cautiously but deeply.

"What does Xiangye think?" He Lianyu kicked the ball back.

The prime minister shook his head: "The old minister is also worried. Once the war breaks out, the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be broken. If other countries take the opportunity to make trouble, they don't know what to do. Not to mention the huge military expenditure, the casualties of soldiers, and the waste of national strength. "

He Lianyu: "It seems that the Prime Minister supports King Jing's point of view and hopes to send envoys to negotiate peace to avoid war?"

The prime minister shook his head: "It's not about who I support. I'm very conflicted. If I think about it, if we don't fight, the Beiming people may think that we don't dare to fight. It will not be as simple as causing trouble at the border. Speaking of which, we have indulged in it, and I am afraid that what will be damaged is not the national power but the national prestige, once the national prestige is damaged, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, and it is also inevitable that other countries will follow suit."

He Lianyu smiled and shook his head, this prime minister is really a prime minister.

"General He, what do you think? But do you think peace is the most important thing, and if you can avoid war, don't fight?"

He Lianyu thought for a while: "The people from Beiming are too arrogant, how can we allow him to violate the border? Soldiers are precious and fast, and these words are very reasonable. If you decide to go to war, you should send troops immediately without the slightest hesitation. "He Lianyu said lightly.

"It seems that General He is also in charge of the battle. In this way, this war is inevitable?" A trace of melancholy flashed across the Prime Minister's face.

He Lianyu didn't answer, stopped in his tracks, supported Baiyu's railing, and said thoughtfully: "Well, sometimes, some things must be done, and the decision is the same. If you stop, there will be future troubles. There is a slight hesitation, and if you miss the opportunity, you will have endless troubles. This is what a general should do, but I don’t know..."

"I don't know what?" the prime minister asked.

He Lianyu shook his head, didn't speak any more, looked at the rising sun in the sky, squinted his eyes, his handsome face had complex expressions.

The prime minister nodded slightly: "I just don't know who the emperor will send to lead the army this time. General He wants to call for a battle? If General He goes to battle, I don't have to worry about this battle. He will surely triumph."

"Master Xiang really flattered me, I have no intention of asking for a fight." He Lianyu said lightly.

"Then who is qualified to lead the army?" The prime minister said quietly, with a worried look on his face.

He Lianyu didn't speak, but when he turned around, he saw Yan Yeling behind him, so he couldn't help stepping aside, and nodded at him as a greeting.

"Master Xiang, General He, what are you two talking about?" Yan Yeling stopped in his tracks.

"It's just some idle business." He Lianyu hurriedly said.

The prime minister didn't say anything.

Yan Yeling with a calm face smiled, nodded, and passed by him. After passing by, his calm eyes fluctuated. He heard what He Lianyu said to the prime minister just now. It seems that General He completely agrees. Does the prince's actions mean that he will fully support the prince and stand by his side?

Is the attitude that has been ambiguous in the past considered clear from today?
If so, it would be worrying...

He Lianyu looked at King Jing's back as he walked farther and farther away, and said quietly: "When it comes to marching and fighting, it should be done when it is stopped, but if you want to be the emperor, you should take the overall situation into consideration and think long-term and comprehensively. At this critical moment, you must be able to bend and stretch, and you must have a broad mind and a long-term vision. As the saying goes, those who do not plan for the world cannot plan for a moment, and those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for a region.”

"What did General He mean just now? Do you mean that King Jing is more qualified to do...?" The prime minister looked at King Jing's back and asked in a low voice, with a surprised expression on his face.

But He Lianyu smiled: "Master Xiang, I'm just talking casually. If I think something is good, I repeat it again. It's so late, but I want to go back to the mansion, or go to the Military Affairs Department? There are still some things that I will not wait for you."

After speaking, he also left in a hurry.

The prime minister looked at his back, a little confused.

Yan Yeling returned to Prince Jing's Mansion with a very tired expression.

After changing his official uniform, he sat in the study, staring at the book, but didn't read a single line.

He sighed, got up, and stood by the window, watching the wind shake the branches and leaves outside, dancing and dancing, the sadness on his face did not decrease in the slightest.

His gaze pierced through the branches and leaves, and he didn't know where to look, it was very far away.

What is going up today is a weather vane.

The power of the prince cannot be underestimated.

Yan Yeling felt worried, so he opened the door and walked out.
