Jingyang City.
In the early morning, all the officials were silent, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.
Wu Ding stood solemnly, and then glanced at Zeng Yu. At this time, the prime minister was looking at his nose, his nose, and his heart, with a look of silence.
He naturally knew that this person was a great talent, and was highly relied on by the Queen Mother, but his brows were slightly frowned, obviously he was also worried about major issues.
'The rebellion of the Southwestern barbarians was originally a trivial matter... But the northern border and the East China Sea have been destabilized one after another. When did these barbarians connect together? '
As the prince, Wu Ding naturally knew much more than others, and knew it faster, so he was very puzzled.
"The saint is here!"
While thinking about it, accompanied by the voice of a eunuch's male duck, all the officials were shocked.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Even though Wu Ding is a son at home, but in this hall, he is still a minister, and he has to kneel down, shouting long live.
"My lords are free from courtesy!"
Wu Pheasant was wearing the nine phoenix imperial robe, with a crown on his head, and a little powder and daisy, covering his younger face, looking graceful, slowly sat down on the dragon chair, waved his hand again, and the sound resounded throughout the hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In front of this empress who, in the body of a woman, pushed the world flat and was even rumored to have destroyed a celestial being, the officials did not dare to breathe too much, and thanked her repeatedly before slowly getting up.
Wu Ding and Zeng Yu are located very close to each other. At this time, you can naturally see that beside Wu Zhi's dragon chair, there is another chair, which is parallel and tall, but it is empty. This is what Wu Zhi insisted on preparing for Wu Ming. In order to carry it forward, a group of old and stubborn people were reprimanded.
"Originally, my plan was set at the beginning of Dawu, and the people needed to rest and recuperate. What's more, the people of the Southwestern Yi, if they were enlightened and joined, they would also be the people of our Celestial Dynasty. It was just now that they were given a chance of life. Unexpectedly, those chieftains and kings would be so frantic!"
Wu Zhi sneered and opened his mouth directly, very direct, making Wen Wu below seem to see the old dictatorial, domineering and decisive lord of the feudal town again.
"Who is willing to share my worries today and destroy this beast!"
She said coldly, but the officials below immediately felt chills behind their backs, and a thought came to their minds: "It seems that the saint has also been secretly angry for a long time, and he is ready to solve this problem completely!" '
"Willing to die for His Majesty!"
As soon as the words fell, a row of military generals on the right came out to express their opinions one after another, and they were even more eager to fight.
They are all veterans who came out of fighting the world together. In terms of military affairs, no one is afraid, but a little eager to try.
"Chen Jingzong!"
Wu Zhifeng swept his eyes and seemed a little satisfied, but in the end he chose one of the civil servants.
"His Majesty!"
This Chen Jingzong is a sage of military strategists, who uses soldiers like a god. He made many military exploits in the early days of Wuzhi's career, and later changed to a civilian job to pave the way for his nephew, but his influence in the army at this time is also amazing.
Of course, he was old at this time, and he only wanted to beg for the bones for the elderly with peace of mind after serving as Minister of the Ministry of War. With Wu Zhi's generosity, conferring and honoring are indispensable, and it is also a great honor for the ancestors.
But in the face of Wu Zhi, Chen Jingzong felt that he had become an ordinary person with no cultivation at all. With just a short sentence, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Tianwei unexpected! '
Wu Ding looked at this scene, but he murmured in his heart: "Mother's cultivation has really become more and more unfathomable. Just by calling a name, a Minister of the Ministry of War, a first-rank official, and a saint of the military family have become in this way… "
He is very clear that this is not only a deterrent from the throne, but also a martial arts bonus for Wu Zhi himself.
"Ai Qing thinks who should be the general?"
Wu Zhi asked quietly.
"Your Majesty is in complete control of the universe. In my humble opinion, it's not as if it's just in case..."
Chen Jingzong took a deep breath: "All the generals in the court can quell the chaos, but the southwest is remote, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to regain the county, you need a large army of 20,000 and 100,000 civilians. If you want to sweep the caves, To get rid of those chieftains and fan tribes in one fell swoop, we must have an army of 100,000 and civilian husbands of 500,000!"
This conclusion was more sophisticated than Lin Feichong's, and some views coincided with each other, making Wu Ding nod secretly.
"Hiss..."
It's just that many civil servants and generals gasped a little after hearing this.
An army of 50,000, 100,000 is nothing at all, but enlisting hundreds of thousands of civilians? I'm afraid that the entire Great Wu will be hurt, and if you don't pay attention, it will greatly damage the country.
"Since ancient times, good soldiers and good generals are easy to get, but it is rare to have a well-organized logistics..."
Wu Zhi pursed his lips, sighed, and said with a slightly heavier tone: "It's just Chen Qing, it seems that he hasn't said who he wants to recommend?"
"Your ignorance, Zhang Ting, Bao Guo, and Chen Shuncheng are all generals and military governors!"
Chen Jingzong kowtowed.
"Sure enough, you can't avoid relatives if you move inside!"
Wu Zhi smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, I have my own report!"
At this time, a civil servant suddenly came out of the crowd and kowtowed.
"Huh? Wu Yue, Minister of Rites?"
Wu Ding glanced at the civil servant, and immediately recognized it: "This person has no reason, what kind of hands did he intervene, it is so puzzling?"
It's just that what the other party said next made him even more restless.
Wu Yue said loudly: "Generals Zhang Ting and Bao Guo are both generals of the imperial court, not to mention General Chen Shuncheng, how can we use a butcher's knife to kill chickens? To deal with these barbarians, as long as my imperial court soldiers arrive, they will surely bow their heads and bow down... I recommend the prince Lin Feichong, the captain of the government school, will be the main general! We will be able to win the battle!"
"Prince?!"
For a split second, Wu Ding only felt a lot of doubtful eyes lingering on himself and Wu Yue.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, this Wu Yue is not his at all!
However, even if it wasn't his person, Wu Yue's appearance at this time seemed to sound the charge. From the civilian camp, more than a dozen people came out in unison, and they all knelt down: "The minister waits for the second opinion."
"you… "
A red light flashed in Wu Ding's eyes, and he barely held it back. Looking at Zeng Yu again, he saw that the prime minister was looking at the kneeling civil servants below, and even the generals who continued to join him, with a look of worry flashing across his face.
'It's really... really...'
The indignation in his heart is truly indescribable.
Knowing that Wu Yue is going out this time, many people think that they mean it. The 'Prince faction' moved after hearing the news, and when they moved, some fools followed suit. The most terrible thing is that in the chaos of fish and dragons, I can't tell who is loyal and who is traitor. .
What's more, doesn't Wu Ding understand Wu Zhi's temperament? The subordinate's move is like forcing the palace, and it will definitely make him secretly angry, and then he will definitely spread his anger on himself.
After all, even if he explained that he didn't mean it, who would believe it
And what would the emperor's reaction be when he saw the prince's response
"What do you think, prince?"
Sensing Wu Zhi's gaze falling, Wu Ding took a deep breath and stepped out, "I... I think that even though Lin Feichong has the ability, but his position is low, he might not be able to do anything..."
"Since the talent is quite good, the stamina is there..."
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhi waved his hand: "And I have seen this person's resume. He is not without foundation, low-ranking and low-ranking. The imperial court added it, recorded my will, ordered Lin Feichong to be the general with power to break the barbarians, and gave the king's order flag. Lead an army of 10,000, and the local government recruits 100,000 civilians to go to the southwest to quell the chaos!"
Even though he was just a miscellaneous general with the addition of a 'Quan', which means temporary, this promotion still made many veterans look envious.
After all, since the establishment of the new dynasty and the establishment of the rules, such extraordinary promotions have been rare.
"My son obeys the order!"
Wu Ding heard this, but his expression was startled, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
After all, Wu Zhi's unreasonable playing of cards made his thoughts even more chaotic.
…
After the court.
Originally seeing Zeng Yu's carriage, Wu Ding wanted to step forward to ask a question or two, but seeing the sharp eyes of Zhi Jinwu around the palace, he endured it again and went all the way back to the prince's mansion.
"Refer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the humble position!"
Lin Feichong was found, and after hearing the news, he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Well... I don't have much to say about other things. This is your chance. If you succeed, you will fly to the sky! If you lose..."
Wu Ding leaned on the soft chair, sipped the sour plum soup, and rubbed the space between his eyebrows, a trace of tiredness appeared on his face.
"His Royal Highness, please don't worry, even if you are a humble official, you must earn face for Your Highness!"
Lin Fei said loudly.
"You are from my prince's mansion, so I naturally miss you too...just, be careful!"
Wu Ding smiled wryly, and urged again and again.
In fact, he is already the crown prince, and he is extremely honored and favored. Even if Lin Feichong wins this time, what good will it do him
On the contrary, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Once they lose and are criticized, they will inevitably become incidental. At least one evaluation of "knowledge of people" cannot escape.
What will happen to the crown prince of a country if he is labeled as an unknown person
At least Wu Ding does not want such a large amount of negative political assets.
"The humble job knows!"
Lin Feichong's face was serious, obviously he also heard the key point.
"Well, you go out first and let Zhang Hanlin come in!"
Wu Ding waved his hand, sent Lin Feichong away, and met Zhang Hanlin again. He suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the quiet room, and his eyes were even more murderous: "Wu Yue, Minister of Rituals, check it out for Gu. Check this person, remember, check to the end!"
"Obey!"
Zhang Hanlin naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and answered solemnly.
…
"A big deal has been done!"
Just when Wu Ding was worried about this, in a secret room, several Taoists gathered secretly, with happy faces on their faces.
"That Wu Yue, is there any problem?"
"certainly!"
Another Taoist replied with a smug look on his face: "Because he is not one of us at all! He even claims to be a loyal minister of His Royal Highness, but he is a bit stupid and can't see the situation clearly. Let me give you a little hint. The influence of side-talking made him immediately think that the prince must make military achievements in order to consolidate his position...haha...the fish took the bait!"
"Great goodness!"
"Seamless!"
Several Taoists stroked their beards and smiled: "Leave no trace, even if the incident fails, we will not be found. Such a loyal minister, it depends on how His Highness the Crown Prince will deal with it... Haha... Anyway, if the poor Taoist has such a person under his hands, he must be killed sooner or later." It's just people's hearts... Haha..."
