At this moment, the emperor took a serious look at everyone, clenched his fists and said angrily: "Sirius Kingdom invaded our dynasty, and I have repeatedly given in. King Uda is still not satisfied. My dear friends, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Father, the ambition of Wolf Son of Tianlang Kingdom is obvious. This battle is unavoidable. I request to lead troops to Konggu Pass to support General Zhou Han." The eldest prince suddenly stood up and said.
The eldest prince has many advisers around him, so this recruitment of troops must be under the guidance of an expert, and he wants to lead the army. If you ask him to find a woman, he will be very happy. If you ask him to lead troops to fight, it is called nonsense. Even though the Queen has paved many roads for the eldest prince and suppressed many of his ridiculous things, the eldest prince is still unable to support him. Adou.
Seeing him take the initiative to ask for a job now makes people look at him with admiration.
The frontier fortress of the Northern Dynasty had already been under attack some time ago. Fortunately, Mei Yunfeng was in charge and kept the border fortress safe. Mei Yunfeng had just settled down, so it was impossible to recruit him to support Konggu Pass. If the enemy attacked from the east and west, they would be caught off guard and let They destroyed the fortress and lost more than they gained.
The emperor has many sons, but they were all born in a peaceful and prosperous age. In Nangong Nan's heart, although the eldest prince is the legitimate son of the queen, he is not a general. Letting him lead troops in war does not mean that he will give up his land to others.
Nangong Nan thought about it in his mind, but did not agree to the eldest prince's request, "You should step back first."
After a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind and said coldly: "Xiao Luzi, go and call Nangong Yuanyi."
At this time, everyone was asking, "Look at me, I look at you, what does the emperor mean? Why did you ask Prince Nangong to come here?" Nangong Yuanyi didn't get along with the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, but I heard that he walked around the streets all day long and had a lively fight with the merchants and common people. Although he will inherit the throne of Prince Yu in the future, and his status is noble, he may be able to live quietly as an idle prince, but now he has not married and had children, and has no achievements at all. Prince Yu also has two sons, who can say The position of King of Yu in the Qing Dynasty must belong to him. Besides, according to his temperament, who would be willing to marry his daughter to him.
I don’t know how long I waited, but the feet of the officials in the court were sore from standing. It was also past lunch time, and Nangong Yuanyi had not come yet. Just when the emperor announced his withdrawal from the court, Nangong Yuanyi came with a polite and respectful look. He bowed to the emperor and said, "See you, Your Majesty. I wonder what the Emperor wants from me?"
Although Nangong Yuanyi has a good family background and is a relative of the emperor, he does not hold any official position and is completely an idle prince, and he is the most leisurely prince in Kyoto. Logically speaking, he should address the emperor as "uncle".
Other princes could more or less be able to get a job, be an official, and live with a salary, but Nangong Yuanyi didn't want to, but it's no wonder who asked him to have such a squandering capital.
As soon as he entered the main hall, the emperor sat up slightly with his slanted body, staring closely at the face, secretly thinking that King Yu had a military power of 500,000. In the future, if Nangong Yuanyi was crowned king, this military power would naturally fall. In the hands of Nangong Yuanyi, this was the guarantee left to him by the late emperor. Those 500,000 soldiers would always obey the orders of Prince Yu's palace.
The emperor smiled lightly at Nangong Yuanyi. Over the years, Nangong Yuanyi had silently done a lot of things for him. The emperor knew that he had that talent, but was unwilling to show it. He always gave people a ruffian attitude.
The emperor said bluntly: "I am going to send you to fight against the Sirius Kingdom."
Nangong Yuanyi already knew the intentions of the Sirius Kingdom. As early as before the Lantern Festival, the Sirius Kingdom was ready to make a move. None of this could escape his nationwide contact network.
The emperor also knew everything he had done over the years, openly or covertly.
As soon as the emperor said these words, he was opposed by all the ministers. Among them, Lord Wu Shangshu was the first to say: "Prince Nangong has no experience. Please think twice, your Majesty." What he resented was that Nangong Yuanyi broke his son's tendons. , but he could not redress his grievances to the emperor, so he had to eat coptis as a mute.
Another minister echoed: "Your Majesty, please think twice. The prince is young and inexperienced. I heard that the people of the Sirius Kingdom are violent by nature. I am worried that the prince is no match for the Sirius Kingdom."
What he meant was that Nangong Yuanyi had a pretty face, but at first glance he looked weak and had little combat experience, but he knew that Nangong Yuanyi was in a position where he dared not directly offend him, so he said it more vaguely.
Another person then said: "Yes, if Prince Nangong is allowed to go, he will not take the initiative to throw the white flag."
Everyone spoke loudly, the public said the public was right, the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right, but no one supported him.
Nangong Yuanyi glanced at everyone coldly, with a cold smile on his lips. Next, they were going to recommend their favorite candidate.
Nangong Yuanyi's prediction was indeed correct. Nangong Heng, Nangong Hao, and Lin Ji were all on the recommended list, but only Nangong Yuanyi, who was favored by the emperor, was not among them.
The emperor's brows were furrowed, his eagle eyebrows were slightly raised, and he exuded a fierce anger. Although he did not advocate war, fearing that the foundation of the country would be shaken by the war, it did not mean that he was weak.
Just when everyone was arguing in full swing, Nangong Yuanyi steadily ordered someone to move a chair and sit down. He waited until they had argued enough and the emperor had finished speaking before he decided whether to leave.
I saw him wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with dark and shiny hair hanging casually on his shoulders. His exquisitely carved facial features were clearly defined, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, a bunch of civil servants were so angry that they blew Hu Hu stared at him, what kind of Confucius and Mencius did he learn? It was too treasonous.
The admonishing doctor looked at Nangong Yuanyi's appearance and said angrily: "Please take back the emperor's order and choose another person with virtue to take on this important task."
In an instant, everyone said in unison: "I ask the emperor to take back my order."
The eldest prince did not say anything this time. Although he often interacted with Nangong Yuanyi, Nangong Yuanyi was very good at controlling the distance between him and them. He was not far or close to every prince. He lived a carefree and unrestrained life. He was unrestrained, but his father still condoned his behavior.
Nangong Yuanyi's father was a sibling of the same mother as the current emperor, but the Queen Mother was not their biological mother, so the Queen Mother's closeness to them was superficial. The Emperor's biggest help was the Palace of Prince Yu. Although Nangong Yuanyi was useless on the surface, But he is the emperor's nephew, so it is reasonable to indulge him a little.
Among the emperor's sons, except for the demoted sixth prince, fourth prince, and eldest prince who had official positions, the rest had not officially entered the court. The second prince died a few years ago, the third prince was not in Kyoto, and the fourth prince was banned. Without the emperor's summons, he did not dare to enter the palace at will. Even if his mother concubine summoned him, he would still have to intercede with the emperor.
The emperor frowned deeply and said angrily: "Retreat from the court."
Then he said angrily to Nangong Yuanyi: "Follow me to the study."
