As soon as the emperor said these words, the expressions of everyone in the hall became a little subtle!
The emperor just asked General Xi to hand over his military power and let General Zhao lead the entire southern army!
It seemed that he was not surprised by the emperor's move. Although the expression on Old General Xi's face was a little cold, he was not surprised.
He raised his eyes lightly, and his voice was as deep as thunder, with majestic momentum: "I think General Zhao needs more training. He acts too aggressively and often puts himself and his soldiers in danger."
Perhaps because the emperor had already talked about it, he didn't bother to cover it up and directly exposed the stupid thing General Zhao had done.
"If it hadn't been for General Ji's timely rescue this time, General Zhao, who was afraid of pursuing the enemy too deeply, would have been carried back to the capital. If the Southern Army was handed over to such a general, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before the Nanlin Army could Directly march northward."
General Ji is one of the two deputy generals of the Southern Army. However, unlike General Zhao, who was a close confidant sent by the emperor, General Ji was promoted by General Xi, and he has been a brother of General Xi for many years.
General Xi spoke bluntly and without politeness, and his words were full of disgust for the so-called General Zhao, almost saying that he was a fool who was lured into the enemy.
The person whom the emperor praised was so undermined by General Xi, so the emperor's face naturally didn't look good.
From what General Xi said, he knew that the emperor would not be able to get the military power of the Southern Army for the time being, unless he wanted to ignore the overall situation and directly fall out with General Xi.
Even if the emperor could keep all the Xi family in the capital, there would probably be chaos on the southern side.
You must know that those soldiers have been trained by General Xi for many years. They say they are the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in fact they recognize General Xi.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the emperor has never dared to forcefully seize military power, but instead deployed people to slowly encroach.
If the Xi family was inexplicably deprived of military power by the emperor in Beijing, General Ji in the southern military camp would most likely directly rebel and kill General Zhao on the spot. Such cases were not unheard of.
The emperor was about to get angry when Old General Xi said this. The prince, who had been silent until now, rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his voice.
He said to the emperor: "Father, I think that General Xi is also thinking about our great Zhou."
"Since General Xi is worried about General Zhao, why not arrange for General Zhang to go to the south? The Si family in the northwest simply won't let General Zhang go to help."
It was obvious that the northwest did not need so-called support, but as the prince told it, the northwest family refused to let General Zhang go.
With such a quick talk, the Queen Mother just raised a faint sarcastic smile and looked at the Prince with eyes full of sarcasm and displeasure.
The Queen Mother didn't bother to pay attention to the prince. In her opinion, the so-called prince was really like a clown who would only embarrass Zhou and cause trouble.
Look at the good things he has done, and look at the worms under him. They are simply not worthy of the position of prince under his ass.
The prince did not dare to irritate the queen mother too much. He just stabbed and hinted at the emperor.
In this regard, General Xi just raised his eyes and glanced at the prince, without saying anything else. It seemed that he had no objection to General Zhang going to the south.
Although the emperor's recent dissatisfaction with the prince is about to reach its peak, this idea is exactly what he likes.
He immediately made a decision and said: "The prince's words make sense. If that's the case, then send General Zhang to the south..."
Before the emperor finished speaking, King Qin stood up and raised his voice: "I would like to inform my father, I think it is indeed necessary to send a general to assist General Zhao, but General Zhang should not be sent. "
The prince's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes towards King Qin seemed to be quenched with poison!
The emperor was stunned for a moment. He was very unhappy to be interrupted one after another, but after hearing the meaning of King Qin's words, he still asked: "Why can't you send General Zhang?"
"Because General Zhang's wife is a concubine from the Fengguo Palace, and was promoted by His Highness the Crown Prince. However, His Highness the Crown Prince has been involved in a lot of things recently. It seems that most of the officials who were raided are His Highness the Crown Prince. Get promoted!"
As soon as King Qin said this, the expressions of both the emperor and the prince changed.
The prince stared at King Qin with a vicious and resentful face, while the emperor was dissatisfied and hesitant.
Because after the King of Qin reminded him, the emperor also remembered the recent bad things that happened to the prince, and once he thought about it, he couldn't forget it. It was like a stick in his throat!
Thanks to the "blessing" of the prince, the emperor has recently received a lot of discounts from the deposed prince, and he is not in a good mood!
On the other side, after seeing the hesitation on the emperor's face, King Jin immediately followed suit and continued: "This situation is serious and concerns the safety of our great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, such an important matter must be handed over to reliable people."
"But the person promoted by the prince now is really hard to make people feel at ease, so I also seconded my third brother that General Zhang should stay in the capital."
Now not only the prince's face was dark, but also everyone in the prince's camp had ugly faces, because the words of King Jin and King Qin had brought in all the people under the prince's command!
As for why the King of Jin sided with the King of Qin, it is easier to understand. As long as they can weaken the prince's power and prevent the prince's people from contacting the southern army, it is possible for them to join forces further.
The prince's lungs were about to explode with anger!
With such a rare opportunity this time, how could he watch helplessly as King Jin and King Qin came to disrupt the situation? !
Therefore, when he saw the emperor's hesitation, he immediately wanted to make amends: "General Zhang is brave and good at fighting, and he has made great military achievements for our great Zhou Dynasty. This is obvious to everyone..."
King Qin sneered at the side and interrupted: "Brother Emperor, you'd better deal with Master Xia's affairs first, and then worry about other things."
King Jin also smiled and agreed: "Yes, brother, you always praised the excellence of the people under you in the past, but what happens now? Those people who you once praised as the pillars of the country are now a Something happened to everyone."
The prince's face was gloomy and terrifying. Unexpectedly, his two royal brothers were becoming more and more arrogant! It has actually reached the point where he interrupts his speech in class and mocks himself again and again!
As for Xia Zhihe, who was named, his face was also very different. He was even frightened when he heard the news!
So far, he still doesn't know who took away the evidence hidden by Mrs. Xia, let alone when this matter will be exposed!
At this moment, he was suddenly mentioned by King Qin, and he felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat! A strong uneasiness arises in my heart!
