Chapter 80: Final Considerations
"The child remembers." Min Ruoying deferentially should be.
"On the side of the Eastern Border Army, are you going to take down Cheng Wuben and replace that Luo Liang as the coach?" The emperor looked at Min Ruoying and asked slowly.
That's what the child is going to do. My father also knew that Cheng Wuben had never liked his son very much, the Eastern Frontier Army was the foundation of my Great Chu, and the 200,000 army was the backbone of my Great Chu. Min Ruoying raised her head, on top of this question, he was not ready to compromise with his father.
"Luo Liang, this person!" The emperor sighed and shook his head, "The ability to lead the army is not bad, but there is one point, this person is too ambitious, he wants to go down in history and do a great career, such a person, if he is placed in the eastern border army, he will inevitably provoke an incident with Dongqi, Ruoying, do you really think that we have the ability to compete with Dongqi?" ”
"Father, Dongqi is eyeing my Great Chu, and he is bent on annexing my Great Chu, and the two families will have a war after all." Min Ruoying's eyes showed a frenzied light, "Since there is bound to be a battle, what is there to avoid?" Luo Liang is not only a grandmaster himself, but his ability to lead troops is far stronger than Cheng Wuben, why can't he replace Cheng Wuben? ”
"Do you know why I put Cheng Wuben as the commander of the Eastern Frontier Army? It stands to reason that his ability to lead troops is even worse than Zuo Lixing's, and his personal cultivation is only a ninth-level cultivation, but for more than ten years, Cheng Wuben has been able to stand proudly in this position, why should I do this? ”
"My son understands that Cheng Wu is stable, what this person wants to do is to hold the eastern frontier of Dachu steadily, and he has no forward ambitions, so he naturally runs the eastern front line like an iron bucket, so that the Eastern Qi has no gaps, and the Eastern Qi has also tried to attack over the years, although it seems that we are losing consecutive battles on the front line, but the Eastern Qi is simply unable to advance westward, unable to shake the eastern front." Min Ruoying explained.
"It seems that you are not confused." The emperor exhaled a long breath, and his eyes became a little cloudy again, this son has always been ambitious, dreaming of dominating the world in his hands, and achieving the great cause that Emperor Li Qing had done back then, and now he is full-fledged, and he can speak well, how many copies can he listen to, and he really has to draw a question mark. But how much can I manage? As soon as his eyes were closed, his spirit was ethereal, at that time, he couldn't let him do what he wanted to do, and he could only tell him again and again, hoping that he could be cautious.
"Since my father values Cheng Wuben so much, the ministers will take Luo Liang as the main and Cheng Wuben as the deputy, and the two will attack and defend each other, and the eastern front will be balanced." Min Ruoying lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
"Fart!" The emperor suddenly burst into a foul mouth, which made Min Ruoying's brows jump slightly, "Are you fooling me, or are you really confused?" Cheng Wuben has been in the Eastern Frontier Army for more than ten years, if he doesn't leave, how Luo Liang will take power, with Luo Liang's temperament, he will inevitably kill him, kill Cheng Wuben, and the Eastern Frontier Army will be chaotic. If Luo Liang could endure and not kill Cheng Wuben, he would not be able to take power in the eastern border army, and the two would fight each other, and they would really be defeated. These two people attack and defend, and they are just the tip of the needle, and they can only save one person. ”
Min Ruoying was silent, he originally wanted to fool the old emperor and make him happy, but although the old emperor was seriously ill, he was very sober.
"Luo Liang should be used with caution." The old emperor sighed: "This person is a double-edged sword, he can kill the enemy and hurt himself. And Cheng Wuben is an iron shield, although you don't like it, but it can be a barrier for Dachu. Decide for yourself. ”
"My son must be cautious, walking on thin ice, and dare not slack off in the slightest."
"The civil service system has always been uninterested in you, but after you come to power, you must remember that these literati are deliberately trying to win over, relying on the army to fight the world, but relying on them to govern the world, Yang Yihe has already left his post, who are you going to let take over the post of Zuo Xiang?"
"The original right Xiangma to the east, both talent and morality, Erchen thinks, enough to hold this position."
"Although it is far inferior to Yang Yihe, but now the only one who has the ability and can win your trust is Ma Xiangdong." The old emperor nodded. "Be kind to the old minister."
"Yes! These old ministers are all old men who have followed their father for many years, and they have made great contributions to Dachu, and their sons will never treat them badly. Min Ruoying nodded repeatedly.
"One last thing, what are you going to do with your big brother?" The old emperor turned sideways and looked at Min Ruoying with a fierce gaze.
Min Ruoying hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said: "Father, although not many people know about this matter, they have to give an explanation to the world, and only the eldest brother can take care of this matter." ”
"If this matter is put on your eldest brother, will he still have a way to live?" The old emperor said coldly: "You only have two brothers, if you don't kill him, won't you be reconciled?" ”
Min Ruoying lowered her head, her face uncertain.
"If this matter is finally announced to the world, and the Great Chu royal family actually does such a big thing that defies the world, how will the Great Chu world view the royal family? Have you ever thought about it, as a result, the prestige of the royal family will inevitably fall to the lowest point, how much time will it take you to re-establish the prestige of the royal family? ”
"Father?" Min Ruoying looked up and wanted to argue again. The emperor waved his hand, "This is your last exam question, you go down and think about it, how to properly handle this matter?" Give you three days, and then come back to me, if you can satisfy me, after three days, there will be a holy decree announced to the world, and you will be appointed as the prince of the prison country, in charge of the government. ”
Ten miles outside the capital city, more than a dozen carriages stopped on the side of the road, Yang Yihe was dressed in white, and looked back at the towering city wall of the capital city with regret, beside him, standing side by side with him was An Ruhai, the commander of the internal guard.
"Like the sea, ten miles to send each other, there will be a farewell, the road ahead is boundless, I'm afraid we will never have a chance to meet again." Yang Yihe sighed.
"Where did Zuo Xiang come from, but there was a slight setback, Zuo Xiang just went back to his hometown to live for a few days, and there was always a chance to make a comeback." An Ruhai comforted.
Yang Yihe smiled, "I, after all, I still have a soft heart, if I ignore the prince's pleas at that time, and don't care about this matter, maybe I can end up with a good ending, but after all, I still stretched out my hand, and I couldn't retract it anymore. After the emperor's death, I am afraid that I will follow him as well. ”
An Ruhai lowered his head a little ashamedly, that day, if he stepped into the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, would the result be different?
"Like the sea, you don't have to feel guilty about this." Yang Yihe smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Even if you enter the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion that day, things won't change much, it's just that there is one more of you, we all underestimate the Second Highness." It's a blessing that there's only one of you left. ”
"His Royal Highness has killed me!" An Ruhai whispered.
Yang Yihe was stunned, and then laughed, "Ruhai put his heart in his stomach, if His Royal Highness really wants to do something, he will never kill you, but you can't be the commander of the internal guard, go back and pack your things, and prepare to go to the western border to work, right?" ”
"You mean?"
"Rebuilding the Western Frontier Army, such a laborious and thankless thing, and often having to carry the black pot, of course, has to be done by a guy like you!" Yang Yihe burst out laughing. "Ruhai, please ask you for one thing."
"Please give me the command."
"I have only one son, Yang Zhi, but he is very much to do, and he is spoiled by my wife and old mother. This time I went to the western border and suffered a big loss, I hope it will be of benefit to him, and if I am not there in the future, please take more care of him. Do not seek glory and wealth, but seek peace and stability. I have already written a letter to the old man holding the sword, and when everything is settled, I will let him out of the school. ”
"Okay, if it is as you say, I will go to the western border army, and then I will take Yang Zhi with me, and I will definitely keep him safe." An Ruhai nodded and said, "But Zuo Xiang, you're thinking too much, right?" You are the head of the civil officials, and your prestige is spread all over the world, but not your second highness? ”
"Here's why!"
