Chapter 1,125
King Wei and King Kang already understood what was at stake, but what they were thinking about was not how to work together with Xiao Lintian to win the game.
The two of them made their own calculations.
Both of them are not as good as Xiao Lintian in leading troops, so why bother asking for trouble? This is a very important matter, and they cannot defeat Dong Qi with their abilities.
If you lose, Emperor Wu An will be disgusted and punished!
King Wei wanted to understand and rushed to say: "Father, my son is not as good as my fourth brother in leading troops, so I will not participate in the siege competition this time, so as not to make Dong Qi laugh! Let the fourth brother participate in the competition on behalf of Western Qin!"
King Kang understood what King Wei was thinking at a glance. He weighed his own strength and said: "Father, my son's martial arts skills are not as good as those of his fourth brother, and he will not participate in the competition. Let his fourth brother compete on behalf of Western Qin!"
Emperor Wu An glanced at the two of them and felt disappointed in his heart.
Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu had just been assassinated, and their injuries had not fully recovered.
But as the eldest brothers, King Wei and King Kang did not consider this and eagerly pushed Xiao Lintian out.
This is not just because I am afraid of losing the game and being punished by myself.
Emperor Wu An appeared in front of the cabinet ministers and did not expose the two people's inner thoughts. He just turned his attention to Xiao Lintian.
"Xiao Lintian, what about you, are you willing to represent Xi Qin in the competition?"
If Xiao Lintian was afraid of punishment, he had every reason to refuse to participate because his injury had not healed yet.
But Xiao Lintian didn't even think about it, and knelt down on one knee: "Father, I would like to ask you to represent Western Qin in the competition!"
Emperor Wu'an felt relieved instantly. Fortunately, he still had a son to consider for him.
Emperor Wu'an was about to speak when King Wei rolled his eyes and said: "Father, since this matter is so important, in order to encourage King Yi to go all out to participate in the competition, let him issue a military order!"
"In this way, with the encouragement of military orders, King Yi will do his best to win!"
King Kang secretly laughed, feeling that King Wei's move was too damaging. His father had already spoken before. If Xiao Lintian lost this game, he would be demoted to a commoner.
Is King Wei afraid that his father will relent when the time comes, and wants to force him to make this matter a certainty?
King Kang said nothing, he glanced at Zhao Hui.
If Xiao Lintian loses, the only person who can compete with him for the position of crown prince is King Wei.
He is starting to establish his own image now. With so many ministers here, he cannot give the impression of being a chicken-hearted person who deceives his fellow brothers.
Zhao Hui received King Kang's gaze, thought for a moment, and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I think King Wei's proposal is good. This is related to the honor of Western Qin. King Yi will issue a military order when he is ordered to participate in the competition. It can also boost morale and win glory for our Western Qin!"
Zhao Hui and his party saw that Zhao Hui had taken the lead in making the proposal, and they also followed suit.
Lu Xiang saw that people from both the King of Wei and King Kang encouraged the emperor to let Xiao Lintian issue a military order, and he was not angry on behalf of Xiao Lintian.
If you lose in a competition, you will be punished. King Wei and King Kang were afraid of punishment and made excuses to avoid it.
Xiao Lintian faced difficulties and went forward. These people were not grateful for his service to the country, and forced him to issue a military order and punish him.
This is really too much!
Angry, Prime Minister Lu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that King Yi should issue a military order!"
Ling Yu watched this scene with cold eyes, having already figured out the evil intentions of King Wei and King Kang.
She was disappointed when she saw that there were so many ministers in the imperial study but few spoke for Xiao Lintian. When she saw Prime Minister Lu coming out, she looked at Prime Minister Lu expectantly.
Who would have thought that what Prime Minister Lu said would actually force Xiao Lintian to issue a military order.
This made Ling Yu instantly disappointed with Prime Minister Lu.
She thought she had a good relationship with Lu Xiang's family. Even if Lu Xiang couldn't make so many people change their minds, she would still be grateful if he could say a few words of justice...
