Murong Bao's expression changed and he shouted directly: "Father, you must not do this, you are..."
Murong Chui's eyes suddenly burst out with a dazzling cold light: "I'm not dead yet!"
This suppressed Murong Bao so much that he no longer dared to say a word. The room was so silent that even the sound of breathing was gone. The sound of flying swallows chirping on the eaves outside was clear. Murong Chui could only be heard. His voice was calm and gentle, but with dignity: "Alin has the talent of a general, and he is the only one who can withstand Tuobagui's attack. I let him go to the grassland, and he will no longer pose a threat to you. If you continue to Can't you tolerate a younger brother who helps you protect you from the evil wolf in the north? Or would you rather face Tuoba Gui than have your own younger brother in the north?"
Murong Bao gritted his teeth: "But Bingzhou..."
Murong Chui said in a deep voice: "Bingzhou is bordered by the Later Qin to the west, the Eastern Jin to the south, and the Kengang Grassland to the north. It is a battlefield. Years of war have already made this place dilapidated. It is separated from Hebei by the Taihang Mountains. Whether it is rescue or tax collection, it is a battlefield. You are of no great use, but you can support Alin in his fight against the grassland. In addition to Bingzhou, we also need you to continue to support the whole nation for the benefit of Dayan, do you understand?"
Murong Bao sighed: "I have no choice but to obey my father's will. I also hope that Brother Lin can live up to his father's high expectations and loyally guard the country's borders."
Murong Lin said sternly: "The child swears by the spirit of his dead mother in heaven that he will be absolutely loyal to Dayan. He will never have any dissent in his life. I just ask the prince and brother to promise that I, Murong Lin, will conquer the territory that I have established on the grassland, conquer the slaves, and tribes." , are all under my control. In my life, I shall not be called by anyone, whether it is you or your descendants!"
Murong Bao gritted his teeth: "Do you want to separate yourself?"
Murong Lin said loudly: "I must earn some reward for my hard work."
Murong Chui said in a deep voice: "I'm sure, Murong Lin, remember what you said."
Murong Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly knocked on the ground: "My dear father, thank you very much. May your father be healthy!"
Murong Chui waved his hand: "Go down, I still have something to say to your brothers."
Murong Lin's figure disappeared outside the door. Murong Chui looked at Murong Nong and Murong Long: "Nong'er, Long'er, the north is given to Alin, the south is to fight against the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the task of entering the Central Plains is left to you, Qilu The land, sliding platform, and Liyang Ferry will be guarded by your separate forces. Once we survive this wave of Wei army's attack, you can expand the territory southward."
Murong Nong frowned: "The Jin army is fierce, and Liu Yu is the most powerful general in the world. Even my father may not be able to defeat him. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to attack Jin."
Murong Chui sighed: "Qinglong is dead. The civil war in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is about to break out, and Liu Yu can't stop it. Once the civil war breaks out, with his life, he will definitely be disarmed and return to his fields. Regardless of military matters, you, you have to take advantage of this moment to send troops to the Central Plains. Capture Luoyang and push the Jin army back to the line between Huaibei and Nanyang. In this way, the south of Dayan will have peace with the Central Plains as a buffer. You can move the Central Plains people to Hebei and enrich the household registration in each city. Only by solving this problem Only the Northern Wei and Later Qin can discuss the southern expedition, do you understand?"
Murong Nong and Murong Long looked at each other, kowtowed and said, "I understand."
Murong Chui waved his hand: "Back off."
When the two of them left the room, Murong Chui's eyes fell on Murong De: "Ade, you can do your job, I can rest assured. The imperial guards of Yedu and the core force of my Dayan, the remaining 20,000 With all the armor and cavalry in place, I leave it to you. I hope you can protect Dayan with your life and soul just as you promised me this time."
Murong De said in a deep voice: "With my brother here, I will ensure the continuation of the Yan Kingdom Zuo. Brother Huang, rest assured."
Before Murong Chui could say anything, Murong De turned around and left: "Brother, if you have anything to say to the prince, please hurry up and tell me. I will go and make arrangements for the new king's enthronement and protection."
Murong Chui's eyes fell on Murong Bao, and he sighed faintly: "Ah Bao, I will make you the crown prince, and I will rule out all objections and let you ascend the throne. I only hope that you can do three things. If you fail to do any of them, , then even if I die, I will not rest in peace."
Murong Bao said quickly: "Father, please speak out. I will do it to my death."
Murong Chui said seriously: "First of all, my father made you the new king because he wanted to imitate the Han people's respect for concubines and let this system be passed down forever to prevent Dayan from falling into sibling disputes again. Therefore, you ascend the throne. At that time, we must also establish a prince. If the prince is established, the world will be at peace."
Murong Bao nodded: "Sheng'er is the son of my concubine Duan. He has always been brave and courageous. It is most suitable for him to be the prince. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Murong Chui sighed: "You really can't reassure me. Although Murong Sheng is good, he can never be made a prince. It's because his mother is Duan!"
Murong Bao's eyes widened: "Mr. Duan? What's wrong with the Duan family? My father's two empresses, my mother and my aunt are both Duan family members, and my concubine Duan is also the niece of your mother who was personally selected by your father. It’s a kiss upon kiss.”
Murong Chui gritted his teeth: "The Duan family and our Murong family are both from a large Xianbei tribe. They were conquered by our ancestors, so we sent our daughter to seek peace. We follow the Han system and establish legitimate sons, but we must not imitate the Han Dynasty's way of raising relatives with relatives. The act of occupying the magpie's nest. The emperor's father showed so much love for the Duan sisters, just to appease people's hearts. In fact, the most important thing to guard against is not Tuoba Gui or Liu Yu, but these close relatives who are also most of Xianbei. The tribe, the Duan family, and the Lan family are the real enemies who will kill our great Yan. You must remember this. Therefore, the prince you want to establish must not be Murong Long, but your second son. , Murong Hui!"
Murong Bao frowned: "Hui'er? Hui'er's mother, Fu, was just a daughter of the clan of the former Qin Dynasty. She is of no use now. Her sons and ministers are not very close to Fu. Although Hui'er has good abilities, she has not been able to do so for a long time. Guarding the old capital of Dragon City in western Liaoning for Dayan, this time he also quickly dispatched Dragon City elite cavalry to support him during the national crisis, but with these military exploits alone, how can he convince the public if he is not as good as his uncles?!"
Murong Chui nodded: "He is quite talented as a general, but his ambition is hard to control. Just like Murong Lin, you have to use his strengths and suppress his weaknesses. Since he is ambitious, just make him the prince. From now on, the world will be peaceful." If you give it to him, he will naturally not be dissatisfied. As for Sheng'er, let him replace Alin after the situation stabilizes."
Murong Bao said in surprise: "But, I just made an oath not to take away Alin's grassland."
Murong Chui's eyes flashed coldly: "Idiot, you are using Ah Lin because at this time, he is the only one who can stop Tuoba Gui. Once you survive this battle, is it possible that you still want him to come over with the prairie soldiers and horses? To seize your kingdom?"
