Inside the Qiande Hall.
The ministers looked around, and Prince Xiang Baichuan was in a dilemma for a while, unable to say a word.
In fact, many times, silence already represents the answer.
It's just that due to the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince, the courtiers did not show it.
But there was some care in his heart. Even Emperor Renxuan raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes.
In his mind, although King Yuan was brave, he was always reckless.
On the contrary, Prince Xiang Baichuan has always been stable and deeply loved by the courtiers, who regard him as a future wise king worthy of their trust.
This is why, even though he preferred Prince Yuan more, he never thought of establishing another prince.
But now...
Collecting grain, grass and iron ore is indeed not an easy job, but I am afraid of comparison in everything.
When King Yuan recruits troops, he has to go to various counties and counties in person to take care of many matters!
In comparison, the prince's job is obviously easier.
But the result was...
In the depths of Emperor Renxuan's eyes, a hint of disappointment could not help but appear.
Seeing the prince's embarrassment, Wei Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that everything has rules and regulations, especially in governing the country."
"Now, there are still three full days before the day we agreed to pay for food and fodder."
"In this case, the right way is to pay the grain, grass and iron ore after three days!"
"His Royal Highness, King Yuan, handed over the recruited soldiers to the Yulin Supervisor in advance, but it disrupted the Yulin Supervisor's work rhythm and easily caused trouble."
"The old minister thinks that with His Highness the Crown Prince's ability, it is no problem to raise only grain, grass and iron ore."
"The reason why I didn't pay in advance is probably because I saved up such a layer to consider it."
As soon as Wei Qing said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
All the courtiers were talking about it, and some people suddenly realized it and secretly sighed: "It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince still has such considerations. We really have wrongly blamed His Highness."
To be honest, the Imperial Forest Supervisor and Lieutenant Zhang Lang, who were responsible for the statistics of troops and horses, or Hao De, who was responsible for the food, grass and baggage, all had original tasks.
Like King Yuan, who sends the recruited people over without even saying hello, it will indeed increase their burden.
But there is nothing that can be done about it, after all, he is a prince.
Some people didn't quite believe it and looked at the prince carefully, with a questioning light in their eyes.
When Emperor Renxuan saw this, he raised his brows slightly and his eyes became deeper, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
"What Wei Qing said is true. The state has national laws and the family has family rules. I now order the prince to hand over all the grain, grass, iron ore collected to the chief minister, Hao De, in three days. There must be no mistake."
"Do you have any objections?"
Xiang Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief. Three days should be enough for Gu Beichuan to return from Jiuyuan.
He nodded and said, "My son, I have no objection."
Upon seeing this, Hao De, the great minister, also stepped forward: "We must assist His Royal Highness to register the grain, grass and iron ore collected so that they can be deposited into the national treasury."
"It's so good, I'm tired."
Hearing this, Zheng Ying understood the words and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Retreat from the court!"
After all the civil and military officials had left, Emperor Renxuan was still slumped on the dragon chair, with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
It is late autumn now, and the air is crisp and very cool.
No matter how hot you are, you shouldn't sweat.
Emperor Renxuan's appearance is really abnormal.
When Zheng Ying saw it, he was immediately frightened and wanted to call the imperial doctor.
However, he was stopped by Emperor Renxuan, who waved his hand and said with some disinterest: "You should also step back."
"No! I resign, this slave."
Zheng Ying knelt down and respectfully exited the Qiande Hall.
If what we saw today spreads out, I'm afraid the entire Daqian will be in turmoil.
If something really goes wrong with His Majesty's dragon body, what should we do?
Emperor Renxuan's eyes reflected the vast sky outside Qiande Hall. He didn't say a word and just sat there like this for a long, long time!
"This sky is boundless, but I don't know how many clouds there are, which belong to Daqian." At this moment, Emperor Renxuan no longer had any energy in his body, only twilight remained.
"Who can listen to my thirty-year ambition?" He asked, his voice echoing in the hall for a long time, but no one answered.
"Haha! Hahaha!" The next moment, he laughed.
But this laughter is full of self-deprecation.
…
Three days later, Rooster Ridge!
This is a recognized good place for ambush!
However, Yuan Xionghuan did not choose to ambush. Instead, he led 800 troops and set up a formation in the middle of the road in a majestic manner.
There is quite an aura of one man being in charge and no one being able to stop him.
Da da da!
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and the scout's voice sounded: "Report! The enemy has marched three miles ahead!"
"About a thousand people!"
When Yuan Xionghuan heard this, he immediately grinned and revealed a sinister smile.
"Return to the team! The whole army will charge with me. This time, we must annihilate all the enemy troops!"
"Chop off their heads and serve them as food and drinks!"
After saying that, he waved his mace, rode his horse forward, and galloped away!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
When the cry of killing came, "Gu Beichuan" dressed in white raised his head with a look of fear on his face, and his tone was full of panic: "Why did King Yuan send someone here again?"
"Set up a formation! Quickly set up a defensive formation! Stand ready!"
Yuan Xionghuan, who was leading the way, was holding a mace and his eyes were red, like a violent bear.
At this moment, after hearing these words, the killing intention in his eyes became even stronger.
"kill!"
"The one in the white robe is Gu Beichuan. If you kill him, whoever can kill him, I will be your captain!"
When many soldiers heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened.
You know, although Yuan Xionghuan is said to be a good drinker and beats and scolds the sergeants when he is drunk, his character in some aspects is still excellent, such as: honesty!
Since he said he would give up the position of school captain, it means that if you can really kill that "Gu Beichuan", this position can really fall into your hands, provided that you have the ability.
And the position of captain is not low in a university!
Some people may be difficult to reach throughout their lives.
Now, this position is so obvious, hanging on the head in white.
"Ouch!"
In an instant, the eyes of the eight hundred soldiers were red, like wild wolves, howling and charging out.
In contrast, the troops under "Gu Beichuan" seemed to have low morale and had no desire to fight with them.
Instead, they used their shields to form a military formation on the spot, as if they were trying to be a coward.
As the commander, Gu Beichuan was as timid as a mouse and huddled in the formation without any intention of coming out to kill.
When Yuan Xionghuan saw this, he immediately became furious. He is a murderous and aggressive person, and what he hates most is such a shrinking tortoise-like opponent.
Suddenly he took the lead, holding a mace, and hit a soldier's shield hard.
He smashed him and his shield, and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Then he transformed into an arrow, led eight hundred wolf soldiers into the formation, and headed straight for Gu Beichuan, who was huddled in the formation!
