After Zhao Zheng thought for a while, he saw through the conspiracy of Prime Minister Yu Zhong. This old man saw that he was a useless emperor. He had not learned anything since he was a child, and he did not even have the skills to talk on paper. He was sure to be dead once he went to the battlefield.
However, Yu Zhong had calculated everything, but he did not expect that Zhao Zheng at this time was no longer the puppet emperor Zhao Zheng.
He is a time traveler and was an ace peacekeeper in his previous life.
Marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, these are his strengths!
"Hmph, you wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let me die in Beimang's hands, but I just happened to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and took this opportunity to take back the military power of the Daqian Dynasty."
Zhao Zheng was thinking secretly in his heart.
Since ancient times, political power has emerged from the barrel of a gun. Whoever holds military power is the real master.
Nowadays, the reason why Zhao Zheng is ignored by the Yu family and his daughter can only be regarded as a puppet emperor with no real power. The most important reason is that the military power of Daqian is controlled by Prime Minister Yu Zhong.
Now Yu Zhong suggested that he take charge of the expedition in person, which is equivalent to returning military power to Zhao Zheng. As long as he wins this battle, Zhao Zheng can take the opportunity to secure his country.
Wanting to understand this, Zhao Zheng agreed without saying anything:
"The emperor guards the gates of the country, and the king dies in the country! Prime Minister Yu said it well!"
"As the king of the Daqian Dynasty, how can I hide in the harem and seek pleasure? Just as Prime Minister Yu said, I will go to the camp in the north of the city tomorrow to count the troops and horses, and I will go on a personal expedition soon, so that the foreign tribes in Beimang can see me. The bravery of Emperor Daqian!"
When Prime Minister Yu Zhong saw Zhao Zheng agreeing so happily, a look of contempt flashed across his face. In his eyes, Zhao Zheng was just a big fool.
However, this person was very deep in the city and would not be exposed easily and deceived Zhao Zheng. He also pretended to have an expression of admiration and said approvingly:
"Your Majesty cares about the country and the country. It is a blessing for me! With your Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess, this battle will be a complete victory. The Beimang who were killed abandoned their helmets and armor and fled. They will not dare to attack our country again from now on." territory!"
Zhao Zheng chuckled, pretending to be arrogant, and followed Yu Zhong's words and said:
"Not bad, not bad! I have been familiar with military books since I was a child. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies" are all treasures in my family! It must be just a matter of fact! I will win this battle!"
After speaking, he pretended to be casual and stretched out his hand towards Yu Zhong and said:
"Since you want me to lead the expedition in person, please quickly bring up the military talisman for dispatching troops and generals!"
Yu Zhong was already prepared. He held out the military talisman with both hands and said with a smile on his face:
"Here is the military talisman. I respectfully wish your majesty a triumphant victory!"
Zhao Zheng took the military talisman, looked at it for a moment, yawned, and said impatiently:
"Okay, it's getting late. If Yu Xiangruo has nothing else to do, I'll go back to bed first!"
Yu Zhong quickly replied: "I have nothing else to do. Your Majesty, please rest early."
Zhao Zheng nodded, played with the military talisman, then left the hall, turned around and walked towards Concubine Gu's bedroom.
Looking at Zhao Zheng's careless back, Yu Zhong sneered secretly and whispered:
"You are indeed a loser. You have no self-awareness at all. Do you really think you are a born warrior?"
"Beimang's soldiers are unparalleled in cavalry and shooting. How much suffering has Da Gan suffered at their hands over the years? I'm afraid that your son will die under Beimang's iron hoof on the first day. Hehehe..."
…
That night, Zhao Zheng stayed in Gu Qianxi's bedroom and held her for an in-depth conversation for most of the night. In the end, Gu Guifei was tortured so much that she begged for mercy.
Early the next morning, Zhao Zheng, who felt refreshed and refreshed, had breakfast, washed up, and then gathered his entourage and headed straight to the camp in the north of the city.
The most elite team in the entire empire is stationed in the camp in the north of the capital of Emperor Daqian.
This team has a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, divided into three armies: the left army, the middle army, and the right army. The commander of the three armies is the Zhonglang General of the three armies.
As soon as Zhao Zheng arrived at the camp in the north of the city, the three lieutenant generals all went out to greet him.
Hearing that Emperor Daqian planned to command the three armies and personally conquer Beimang, the three lieutenants and generals were all dumbfounded. They thought this matter was extremely ridiculous.
Xiong Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army, was a tall, muscular man with tanned skin and the most outspoken personality.
As soon as he came up, he said straightforwardly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying so bluntly. Marching and fighting is no longer a child's play. On the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable. Your Majesty has a body of millions of gold, so it is better not to go to the front line!"
Yuan Mou, the lieutenant general of the right army, was a Confucian general with an elegant appearance and fair face without beard. In addition to his identity as Zhonglang General, he also had another identity - the son-in-law of Prime Minister Yu Zhong and the brother-in-law of the Queen Mother.
Because of this layer of nepotism, Yuan Mou always walked sideways in the imperial city. Not to mention the ordinary officials of the court, he even ignored the puppet emperor Zhao Zheng.
After all, according to seniority, Zhao Zheng had to call him uncle when he saw him.
This Yuan Mou was used to being arrogant, and he actually acted like an elder in front of Zhao Zheng, and said in a lecturing tone:
"Absurd! You are just a puppet emperor. You even need the help of the Queen Mother to handle government affairs, and you still want to lead a personal expedition to conquer Beimang? Isn't this nonsense? Haven't you heard that an incompetent general will kill the entire army! You Do you want to tire us all to death?”
"In my opinion, get up early and drive back to the palace, hide in your heart-nurturing palace, and eat, drink and have fun with your charming concubines! Don't be an eyesore in front of us!"
At this time, another person followed and said:
"Exactly! I've heard long ago that you are an ignorant and unscrupulous king. You are uneducated and morally corrupt. You have done one ridiculous thing after another. All you want to do is make love and sex. Are you worthy of commanding the three armies?"
The man who spoke was named Yu Fan, and he was the most distinguished Zhonglang General among the three armies. In addition, he was also the biological son of Yu Zhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the younger brother of the empress dowager, Yuan Mou. You have to be three points shorter in front of him.
Facing the doubts of the three lieutenants, Zhao Zheng smiled coldly and said calmly:
"To tell you the truth, it was the idea of Prime Minister Yu Zhong, oh, the father-in-law of the Right Army Zhonglang General and the Zhonglang General Dad of the Zhongjun General, for my personal expedition. If you have any objections, go to him directly. Stop talking nonsense in front of me!"
Upon hearing that this matter was Yu Zhong's idea, the three lieutenants who had been chattering just now were all stunned. Yuan Mou couldn't help but asked questioningly:
"really?"
"This matter was actually Prime Minister Yu's idea?"
Zhao Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense and took out the military talisman from his arms and waved it in front of the three people.
Seeing Yu Zhong's military talisman, the three of them didn't dare to say anything at all.
It seems that letting Zhao Zhengyu drive the expedition in person was indeed the prime minister's intention!
