Thinking back to the years when he was King Chen, he didn't have such a temper at all. No matter whether he could succeed or not, as long as it was good for the people, he would definitely try his best.

But after he became the prince, his mentality changed a lot.

He began to pay attention to reputation and took into account more things. Although he still wanted to do things for the people, he was somewhat constrained and no longer had the impulse of the past.

He originally thought that as long as Dongting was given more time, they would be able to make the right choice and thus avoid a fierce battle. However, he did not expect that the other party would become so rampant and not take care of it at all. They take it seriously.

If the other party is unkind, then there is no need for him to talk about loyalty.

Just as he was about to send someone to summon some of his trusted courtiers to discuss countermeasures, someone came to report that Lu Baichuan and his wife had entered the palace.

The little eunuch said anxiously: "Mrs. Lu went directly to the emperor, but General Lu came to our side."

This is to ask both sides. .

The prince suddenly felt guilty. The attitude of Lu Baichuan and his wife before was to fight, which was suppressed by him, but now they still have to reach this point.

If he hadn’t been hesitant, Zhu Lian would not have died, and Kang Tanhua would not have had to suffer this disaster.

“Let him in.”

The prince waved his hands, looking like he was not in good spirits.

Lu Baichuan came in quickly. After saluting, he was about to speak when he was interrupted by the prince: "I know what you are going to say, but the national treasury is empty and there is insufficient food and grass. It can only support the army for half a year at most. , war is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so you have to stock up on food first."

This is what he has been hesitating about before. Although he has not officially ascended the throne, all the powers are in his hands, and he has even more things to worry about. too much.

And now it is not just a matter of hoarding food. These old emperors came to power and neglected the management of the army. The soldiers led by other generals were not much better. Although he paid special attention to it after he came to power, the army also had They have made progress, but the time is too short and the method is not entirely correct. The soldiers do not grow that fast.

There are too many things to consider when fighting this time.

Lu Baichuan said: "I would like to share the worries of His Highness, and I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain today."

The prince shook his head: "Isn't it overkill for you to transport grain? This is The battle must be fought, and the soldiers and horses must be strong. I will give you a hundred thousand elite soldiers to train, and you will be much stronger than you are now in a month. I will find a way to help you."

"Yes! "

The prince said again: "If there are generals in the new army who are dissatisfied, they can be killed first.Afterword! ”

At the moment of the war, he was in no mood to adjust the relationship between his generals. Since ancient times, the capable man has been the king. If anyone is dissatisfied, fight with Lu Baichuan. If you can't fight, then lead the troops yourself and fight. But either obey Lu Baichuan's discipline or die.

Lu Baichuan once again felt the prince's trust in him, clasped his fists and said: "Yes! "

"Did Mrs. Lu go to her father to complain? It just so happens that I have something to ask her for help. Please come with me. ”

The prince smiled faintly, with a bit of doting in his eyes. He knew He Jiuniang’s temperament, and she must have been a little disappointed with his attitude before, so she didn’t come to him this time. I want to ask my father about his attitude.

But as we all know, now my father almost obeys He Jiuniang’s words. Even if he knows that the treasury does not allow it, his father will still agree.

After all, no matter what, the pressure will be transferred to him in the end.

Who told his father to ignore the government affairs long ago?

He suddenly remembered what He Jiuniang said before An adjective of: Big wronged person.

Isn’t it him?

He sighed, keeping a business is more difficult than starting a business. It’s really hard to be the prince!

And here, He Jiuniang also arrived at the place where the old emperor lived, and broke in without waiting for anyone to report. The eunuchs and maids were so frightened that their faces changed, and they hurriedly followed behind.
< br />"Madam, wait a minute, let me report it! "

"Madam..."

Before he could stop her too much, He Jiuniang had already broken in.

Fortunately, the old emperor spared his life. During this period of time, I have been stoic and paid great attention to physical maintenance. I am practicing Tai Chi in my small garden at the moment. I have not done anything indecent. It is okay for He Jiuniang to break in like this.

　“Hey, why are you here so early in the morning? Where is the dog? "

The old emperor didn't know about Kang Tanhua yet. When he saw He Jiu Niang coming, he thought he finally remembered to come to greet him. He was in a good mood and smiled.

"Your Majesty , something happened, do you know? ”

He Jiu Niang’s face was sullen and her tone was terrifyingly calm.

The old emperor had never seen He Jiu Niang like this before. He subconsciously looked at the eunuch beside him, wanting to ask what happened. .

The little eunuch also shook his head. They don’t care about world affairs in this deep palace, so they really don’t know what happened.

He Jiuniang took the initiative and said: "People from Dongting Yesterday, I was killed as a Jinshi of Chaoxinke and Mr. Kang was kidnapped.They sent me a severed finger this morning. The meaning is very clear. If we don't let the third prince go, they will torture Mr. Kang to death. "

The old emperor was stunned and said: "Is this the man who visited the beauty this year? ”

　“Yes. "

The old emperor lowered his face and said: "Dongting is so rampant. Do you really think that I, Bei Yan, is easy to bully? "

"My wife came here to ask the emperor, is this tone of tolerance or intolerance? If the emperor says to be patient, the wife will ask her husband to resign immediately and return to the country, and never set foot in the capital again. Who cares about this mess! If the emperor can't bear it, I can make the Dongting royal family pay the price with blood! ”

The old emperor was frightened by her momentum, but he also knew that she did have this ability. After all, when the palace changed, she was the one who defeated so many people with just a few bottles of powder. Naturally He has confidence.

The old emperor is not stupid. He knew that He Jiuniang came to him. There must be something going on with the prince. However, this matter is not just a matter of two new scholars, it is actually two countries. The biggest fuse in the world, if he swallows this breath, Dongting will only go further in the future.

“Of course we will fight! ”

Before the old emperor could speak, the prince’s voice came from not far away. He Jiuniang turned around and glanced at him, but said nothing.

The matter of Kang Tanhua, He Jiuniang was resentful towards the prince.

If he hadn’t been so indecisive before, how could Kang Tanhua, a scholar, have suffered so much?

And Zhu Lian, even a You are a bastard, but you are also from Beiyan. Even if you continue to bastardize, it will not be the Dongting people's turn to take action.

This is the capital of Beiyan, and they dare to cause such trouble, let alone other cities.

The people of Beiyan have been tortured for many years, but the prince has been hesitant. It is really a waste of all her previous help.

The prince also knows what He Jiuniang is angry about, let alone He Jiuniang. He was also very angry with himself for being hesitant before, so after coming to He Jiuniang's side, he took the initiative and said: "Before, I didn't see the situation clearly. I always felt that with the third prince in hand, Dongting didn't dare to mess around. Who would have thought that they would I can't stand it if I, Beiyan's new scholar, are attacked, so this battle must be fought. "

"It's just that there are still many things that need to be prepared, so we can't be impulsive. The first task now is to rescue the Tanhua Lang and then do his bidding. ”
