Empress Fenghua

Chapter 417
Linhua Palace.

Zhong Lichen looked at the few people in front of him with a somewhat helpless expression.Xue Wuhen ate grapes with his legs crossed, spat the grape skins all over the ground, smiling unconsciously, and didn't feel the slightest contempt from everyone.

"The army of the Snow Country invaded the country, what good strategy do the ministers have?"

"Your Majesty, the Snow Country has already occupied the border city of Amo. The sudden battle seems to be very unfavorable to our unprepared army. I think that the Snow Country will attack the city of Saar next to the city of Amo again. It should be in the city of Saar Take precautions."

"Your Majesty, I think that Saar City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Snow Country will definitely attack the Yuechi generation on the edge."

"No! Although the generation of Yuechi doesn't need the dangerous terrain of Saar City, the climate is ever-changing, and the Snow Country will not lose sight of one or the other."

"..."

"Enough!" Zhong Lichen stopped the ministers who had different opinions in a cold voice, "I called you here to discuss a good plan, not to listen to your opinions. Officials in the same dynasty should seek common ground while reserving differences, and come up with suggestions for the stability of the country. Is it true? Do you still want me to personally teach you the way of being a courtier?"

"The emperor appeases his anger, and the minister waits to be convicted!"

Su Ningzi thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now, and the stability of the country will help to appease the hearts of the people. I think it is better to let the prince out of the East Palace regardless of past suspicions, so that the monarch and ministers can work together to make suggestions."

Zhong Lichun couldn't help frowning, Su Ningzi was the father of the Crown Princess Su Yan, this was clearly biased against the Crown Prince.After finally suppressing the crown prince's arrogance, if he fails to seize the opportunity to win over the courtiers in one fell swoop at this moment, then he will wait for the next time, and he will not know when it will be!

"Master Su is right. The crown prince is the crown prince of a country. If the crown prince is not around in this situation, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of all the officials." Wang Shilun agreed, "Although His Highness the crown prince has made mistakes from time to time, after all, he is talented and intelligent. The mind is calm. At this moment, I will be able to relieve the emperor's worries!"

"Then do you mean that if you believe in the king, you can't share the worries for the emperor?"

Everyone was shocked, and quickly lowered their heads to make way.A smile appeared on the corner of Xue Wuhen's mouth, looking at the white-haired woman who walked in slowly, she couldn't help being in awe.

"The ministers are waiting to see the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Wanan!"

The Queen Mother Fang snorted coldly, "Wan'an? The Ai family wants Wan'an, but look at you trash, how is the Ai family safe? Let the Xin Wang who is in the palace ignore it, but thinks that someone who has made a mistake and will be imprisoned Princes in the East Palace, what are your intentions?" The Empress Dowager Fang's eyes froze, "Are you making suggestions for the stability of the country? Or are you forming a party for your own future prosperity and wealth?"

"I don't dare! The Empress Dowager atones!" The loyal ministers quickly knelt on the ground, no matter how powerful they were in the court, they were all in awe of the tallest elder in Dingguo.

Wang Shilun said, "The empress dowager, the ministers are also considering the country, the country, and not forming a party for personal gain. If the prince can personally conquer, it will definitely boost morale..."

"That's nonsense!" Queen Mother Fang snorted coldly, "If it's according to what you said, how can His Highness the Crown Prince be in a dangerous situation? Idea! If only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can stabilize the morale of the army and make suggestions, what use does this palace want you for?"

"Eating the royal salary and receiving the mighty emperor's favor. Don't be in this position without seeking political power!" The Queen Mother Fang glanced at the crowd, and finally landed on Xue Wuhen, "Who is this?"

Xue Wuhen swallowed the grapes in his mouth, and spat the skins onto the ground with a puff, "Wuhen has seen Queen Mother Fang!"

"Ok?"

"Mother, this is the prince of the Snow Country, Xue Wuhen, and his identity at this moment is the proton!" Zhong Lichen said indifferently.

Queen Mother Fang looked Xue Wuhen up and down, and rolled her eyes, "No wonder you look like a monkey!"

puff--

Xue Wuhen spewed out all the tea in one gulp. She had never heard anyone make such a comment before, so she shocked the world!
"The head of the five sages in the world?" Queen Mother Fang sneered, "It's nothing more than that. But Aijia is very curious, if you change places at this moment, what will you do?"

Xue Wuhen raised the corners of his mouth, "If they are relocated, I think these ministers are indeed as the Queen Mother said, and their salaries are for nothing!"

Everyone looked at Xue Wuhen with complicated eyes.

"Don't look at this young master like this, this young master is just telling the truth." Xue Wuhen raised the corner of his mouth, "But this young master wants to give Xin Wang a chance, Xin Wang, what do you think should be?"

Zhong Lichun bowed, "This king thinks that the household department should mobilize food and grass, and the military department should mobilize soldiers and horses, and choose a capable minister to go to Saar City to fight against Snow Country. Although Saar City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also difficult Not necessarily to the point of natural danger, not to mention that the people of the Snow Country have a special thing, that is, they like bitterness first and then sweetness! Take down the places that are difficult to break through, and the remaining troops can directly occupy the first generation of Yuechi. Soldiers!"

"As the saying goes, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. As far as I know, Snow Emperor is a man with good plans. Therefore, he will definitely implement benevolent policies in the captive system and captured cities to win the hearts of the people." Zhong Lichun said with a smile , "I am afraid that the people affected by the disaster at the border will all support it. Therefore, this king believes that the first thing we should do is to stabilize the hearts of the people!"

clap clap-

Xue Wuhen clapped his hands and praised, "Do you know why some people can only be virtuous ministers while others can be monarchs?"

Several ministers frowned, looking at Xue Wuhen with complicated eyes...

"Because a virtuous minister only knows how to fight the world and how to defend the country with a family name. But a king has the people of the world in his heart!" Xue Wuhen is as humble as a valley, as if at this moment he is an invincible king who cares about the world!
"Do you still think that His Highness the Crown Prince should be invited out of the East Palace this time?" Queen Mother Fang snorted coldly, "King Xin, who do you think the officials of the Manchu Dynasty should recommend to Saar City?"

Su Ningzi and Wang Shilun secretly looked at each other, and Su Ningzi hurried forward and said, "Queen Mother, I think..."

"The Ai family asked Xin Wang, and did not ask Mr. Su to speak!" Queen Mother Fang waved her hands impatiently.

Zhong Lichen frowned, "Mother, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. Although King Xin has great wisdom, he is not familiar with everyone's abilities in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty..."

"It's okay, Aijia is just asking, if it's okay or not, let's discuss it!" Queen Mother Fang said nonchalantly, "Aijia knows what you think in your heart, but Aijia has never been controlled by gossip. If a little crazy talk can make Aijia change his mind, then the country of Dingguo may be in turmoil long ago! Aijia is old, and I am afraid that the deadline is only a few years. But Aijia cannot let the country of Dingguo be destroyed. In my hands, even if blood flowed like a river, the Ai family will guard the Zhongli clan, this is what the Ai family promised the late emperor, otherwise the Ai family would have gone to accompany the late emperor long ago!"

Everyone couldn't help sighing, "The queen mother has worked hard, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves!"

"My own country, what can I do if I don't work hard?" Queen Mother Fang's old voice was a bit majestic, but also a bit self-deprecating, "Although it is said that the emperor and the courtiers, if the country really changes hands, only the royal family will be unlucky." My son. Should you be a minister or a minister, should you be a commoner or a commoner. As long as you live and work in peace and contentment, the common people are simply indifferent to who will be the emperor."

Zhong Lichun frowned. The Queen Mother Fang's words seemed to touch a certain nerve in his heart, "Grandmother, grandson thinks it's okay to be alone!"

"Who?"

"Gong Shu Bo's grandson—Gong Shu Guan Lei!" Zhong Lichun said firmly.

"No!" Wang Shilun frowned, "This person is weak and often sick, and he just returned to court recently. How can such a person become a general?"

"But Mr. Wang, don't forget, he is also the grandson of General Gongshu!" Zhong Lichun reminded, "General Gongshu has made great contributions to Dingguo, and this king feels that his grandson must not be an ordinary person!"

Su Ningzi looked serious, "Your Majesty, I don't think Gong Shu Guan Lei can take on such a big responsibility!"

"The same is true for the ministers!" Everyone kowtowed to the ground, feeling that the sunny young man could not bear the pain of war.

Huaide pushed open the door and walked in, "Your Majesty, Lord Gongshu kneels outside the hall and begs to be summoned!"

"Which Lord Gongshu?" Zhong Lichen frowned.

Huaide leaned forward and said, "Gongshu Bo's grandson—Gongshu Guanlei!"
