royal palace.
Royal study room!
The three Dukes of Zhenguo were summoned to the palace by Emperor Yu, and they stood respectfully in front of the emperor, like primary school students listening to the teacher's instructions, well-behaved and dignified!
"Old Zhao, tell me how your second son performed in the southern border!"
"From the moment we enter the camp, everything is done one by one, no matter how big or small!"
Hearing Emperor Yu's words, Zhao Changying couldn't help but shine with a sparkle in his eyes, and nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, since His Highness entered the camp, he led a battalion of 600 soldiers..."
Zhao Changying recounted what Ning Fan had done on the grassland. When he heard that Ning Fan was building a temple in the capital, Emperor Yu's expression suddenly shone brightly: "Be cruel and ruthless to the enemy, but be affectionate and righteous to the soldiers under your command." !”
"good!"
Hearing that Ning Fan gathered slaves and formed a new army, Emperor Yu's face was full of admiration: "Being able to continue to grow and develop in isolation has the appearance of a famous general!"
"However, it is a bit risky after all. The son of a rich man will not sit down in the palace!"
It took half an hour for Zhao Changying to finish telling Ning Fan's story. Emperor Yu's face was already numb with shock!
He knew the general outline of Ning Fan's actions from the good news, but the details were not clear!
Now that I heard what Zhao Changying said, I was inevitably shocked!
"You mean, the second child knows martial arts?"
"He is still capable of killing dozens of Southern Barbarians, and his prowess is not weaker than Ning Chen's?"
"good!"
Zhao Changying nodded slightly, with admiration on his face: "His Second Highness's martial arts skills have at least reached the top level!"
"Although it is a bit exaggerated compared to His Highness, he is still able to command and control thousands of armies. Moreover, His Highness is brave and resourceful, and is good at using surprise troops. Now he is not as good as the weak crown, and he has the qualifications to be a commander!"
"hiss!"
Emperor Yu's face was full of shock. In his impression, his second son was the kind of dandy second generation ancestor who was a little shady and a little clever!
Although what he did some time ago impressed him, it couldn't be called too dazzling!
But now, when the group in the southern border heard Zhao Changying's story, he felt that it was not real!
A child who had never been on the battlefield actually led three thousand cavalry to attack for hundreds of miles, killed tens of thousands of enemies, broke through the Southern Barbarian King's City, and captured the Southern Barbarian royal family!
In the end, he made a strategic decision to remotely control an army of 400,000, and defeated the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop!
Such achievements and grace are truly unbelievable!
"I really didn't expect that..."
"This bitch is actually so hidden!"
"Old Zhao, in your opinion, where did the ten thousand cavalry under Yue Fei's command come from?"
Emperor Yu suddenly changed the subject, his face gradually calmed down, and his tone made it difficult to detect joy or anger!
Zhao Changying couldn't help but look condensed, and his heart trembled, and he muttered: "Your Majesty, I don't know where those 10,000 Weiwei troops came from!"
"However, His Highness did not hide this from me!"
“This great victory in the southern border was made possible by Beiwei’s army!”
"In my opinion, Your Majesty might as well make it clear and ask His Highness!"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded slightly, kept tapping the table with his knuckles, and suddenly said playfully: "In the opinion of the three of you, does the second one have any objections?"
"boom!"
Emperor Yu's words were like thunder exploding in the heads of the three of them, and even Wei Ying's expression suddenly changed.
Zhao Changying knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, King Xuanyong is loyal to the court and your Majesty, and he has absolutely no second thoughts!"
"I am willing to use my head as a guarantee, and Your Highness will have no objection!"
After hearing Zhao Changying's words, Emperor Yu's expression became more playful, and then he looked at Su Xuan and the others: "What do you think?"
"His Majesty!"
Su Xuan was about to speak, but Liu Fengping was the first to step forward: "His Royal Highness now holds the royal guards and military power, so it is inevitable that he will act unscrupulously!"
"If Your Majesty is worried, I will conduct a secret investigation!"
Emperor Yu gave Su Xuan a meaningful look, laughed and said: "You three old guys, the second one is really good at it. In just over two months, you are so impressed!"
"Hahaha!"
"Everyone, please step back!"
"Tomorrow morning, I will reward you for your merits!"
Hearing Emperor Yu's words, Zhao Changying breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Xuan looked stunned, with a hint of understanding in his eyes!
The three of them walked out of the hall together, and Zhao Changying looked at them impatiently: "Old Liu, Old Su, would you like to visit Prince Xuanyong's Mansion?"
"Don't go!"
Liu Fengping shook his head without even thinking about it. Su Xuan also pondered for a moment and said softly: "Old Zhao, it's not appropriate to go there for this matter!"
"Why did Your Majesty say this? Is it true that he is the master of great achievements?"
"Your Majesty is suspicious of His Highness?"
Hearing Zhao Changying's question, Liu Fengping glanced at him speechlessly: "Your Majesty has been doting on King Xuan Yong since he was a child. His actions in the past few years were enough to have his head chopped off dozens of times!"
"Now that we have wiped out the Southern Barbarians and wiped out 400,000 enemies, we only have 10,000 Beiwei troops and 30,000 miscellaneous troops in our hands!"
"Is this small amount of troops enough to scare His Majesty?"
When Zhao Changying heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Fengping: "Is it us that your Majesty is testing?"
"good!"
Su Xuan also smiled bitterly and nodded: "Your Majesty just asked like that because he wanted to see the attitude of the three of us towards the Second Highness!"
"If Lao Liu hadn't spoken in time, I would have stood up and vigorously defended His Highness!"
"Now His Majesty is well aware of our temptations. I am afraid that he has unknowingly put us into His Highness's camp!"
"Why!"
Zhao Changying sighed softly and showed a self-deprecating smile: "You people... are too thoughtful..."
Halfway through the words, he found that he had not left the palace yet, so he stopped again!
"Now that we have just returned to Beijing, the situation between the DPRK and China is a bit strange, so we should have less contact with His Highness!"
"It seems unusual for Your Majesty to summon all the kings back to the capital!"
Liu Fengping said something profound, and Zhao Changying and Su Xuan both nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go have a drink first!"
…
In the imperial study room.
Jian Nan bowed and stood in front of Emperor Yu, took out several secret letters from his arms and handed them over.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has collected very little intelligence on the southern border this time!"
"However, the Beiwei troops under Yue Fei's command are all rare elite cavalry, and their combat prowess is probably unparalleled among our Dayu army!"
"When His Highness was in the southern border, he falsely conveyed the imperial edict and kept King Huai's 80,000 troops in the southern border based on His Majesty's decree!"
"The three princes know all about these things!"
"My subordinates have also found out that there seems to be an organization within Jinyiwei called Black Ice Platform. His Highness was able to break through the Barbarian King's City this time because of Black Ice Platform!"
After Jiannan finished speaking, Emperor Yu held the information in his hand, flipped through it for a long time, and then slowly said: "I remember that there is a counselor in the second man's house named Jia Xu. Where is this person now?"
