Xiao Yang nodded, looked at Yelu Beichen, and gave a definite answer: "No one can say for sure what happens on the battlefield. If the eldest prince loses his life and sacrifices his life for the country, he can't blame others, right?"
Yelu Beichen was stunned for a moment, and realized what Xiao Yang meant. There was a hesitant look on his face, and he said tangledly: "Chu Qi, he is my flesh and blood after all. It is right to contribute to the country, but if he is allowed to lose because of this, How can I bear to take my own life?"
Xiao Yang replied calmly: "Your Majesty will also say that the eldest prince is your flesh and blood, so it won't make much difference whether he or the second prince will inherit the throne in the future, right?"
Yelu Beichen was choked and speechless, and he put away his hypocritical hesitation.
After a long while, he smiled and said, "The position of great unification cannot tolerate any negligence. Besides, it's not that I don't look down on the eldest prince. It's actually that the Ashina family behind him is too great a threat. For the sake of the Great Liang Kingdom, I can only You can make sacrifices."
In just a few words, Yelu Beichen glossed over the fact that he decided to kill his eldest son and made it look like it was excusable.
It's so disgusting to be hypocritical.
It's a pity that the person who heard his words was Xiao Yang. He has always been a person who keeps his emotions and anger secretive, and even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he will not show them.
At this time, he just glanced at Yelu Beichen and continued: "A battle between Liang and Rong Di is inevitable, and if we don't make an effort to drive Rong Di away from the border of Liang, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
Yelu Beichen deeply agreed and said sadly: "You are right, but in the past few years, the Liang Kingdom's national strength has been limited, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers who can actually go out to kill the enemy.
I want to kill the enemy, but I have no choice but to choose an unscrupulous general. There is really no other way! "
Xiao Yang: "I heard that General Meng Jue just returned from victory not long ago and is a good general and wizard."
"But he is from the Ashina family after all!" How could Yelu Beichen not know how powerful Meng Jue was, but because of this, he became more and more fearful.
The more Yelu Beichen thought about it, the more upset he became, and he once again set his sights on Xiao Yang.
He said with a smile: "Since you mentioned this matter, you must have found a way to completely drive Rong Di out of our country so that they don't dare to commit crimes again! In this case, please tell me quickly, Ayang, so that I can save myself every day. I can’t eat or sleep well at night because of this!”
Xiao Yang said calmly: "If the king wants to win a big victory, he will beat Rong Di so hard that he will not dare to commit any more crimes. Naturally, he needs to pay some price to let Rong Di see the determination of the Liang Kingdom to resist foreign enemies."
"Determination?" Yelu Beichen hesitated for a moment and then said: "Our country has already sent the eldest prince to the battle. Isn't determination not outstanding enough?"
Xiao Yang: "How do you know that Rong Di has not sent Tianhuang nobles to fight?"
Yelu Beichen asked: "What do you want?"
"The imperial commander personally conquers!"
"What!"
Yelu Beichen was shocked. His first thought was to shake his head and refuse, "I am the Emperor of Great Liang, how can I..."
These words were speechless in Xiao Yang's calm but powerful eyes.
"I remember that before the emperor ascended the throne, he led troops to conquer Mo State in the east and Wei State in the south several times. He also fought against Rong Di many times. He had great military exploits and was deeply loved by the late emperor. He was also very familiar with Rong Di. Ways of fighting.
how? Now that Your Majesty has been in power for a long time, does he no longer dare to face the enemy? "
Xiao Yang spoke leisurely. He was not aggressive, but the underlying meaning of his words made Yelu Beichen blush with embarrassment.
yes!
Thinking back then, Yelu Beichen was also a famous warrior in Da Liang, with outstanding military exploits. Even today's General Meng Jue could not compare to him.
But after so many years, he became the emperor and took the position he had fought endlessly for, but he gradually began to fear death.
Needless to say, Yelu Beichen himself was embarrassed.
He didn't want to show his timidity in front of Xiao Yang, even though he was really scared in his heart, he still forced a smile and said: "A Yang, you are joking. Since I was able to order the soldiers to beat the shit out of Rong Di, I will be fine this time." .”
As he said that, he found a perfect excuse for himself, "I'm just worried that if I go on a personal expedition and Meng'an is left unguarded, there will be trouble. Rong Di, my son, anyone can easily drive these thieves out of the Liang Kingdom." At the border, if this ruins the long-term peace and stability of Meng'an, it will be too bad!"
He obviously didn't dare to accept the challenge, but he packaged himself as a wise and wise monarch who was brave, resourceful and far-sighted.
If Shi Qingxue were here, she would definitely laugh at Yelu Beichen.
But the only person who heard these words was Xiao Yang.
His face was expressionless as usual, and he just said slowly: "The king of the country is going to conquer the country personally. Naturally, Meng An will leave a few close ministers to handle daily affairs. There will definitely be no trouble in a short time."
Yelu Beichen still didn't want to go to the border to fight, but Xiao Yang had finished talking. He really couldn't find any other excuse, so he had to grit his teeth and agreed, "In that case, then A Yang, go and pass on my command: rectify Regarding military affairs, I will take the eldest prince with me to conquer the Rongdi in person soon!
Those thieves just wait to die! "
Xiao Yang: "..."
Liang Guo, who started his career by burning, killing and looting, said such words, which is enough to make people speechless.
Yelu Beichen had no consciousness at all, but became more and more excited as he talked.
After thinking for a while, he added: "Since the imperial commander is going on a personal expedition this time, he must do something big. Chu Qi is going to the battlefield. As the second prince, Chu Feng should naturally go to the battlefield to train!"
When Xiao Yang heard this, he knew that Yelu Beichen wanted to gain military merit for Yelu Chufeng!
But as to whether some people will appreciate it, it’s hard to say.
Xiao Yang said calmly: "Of course the king can negotiate with the second prince!"
Yelu Beichen did what he said and immediately ordered someone to call Yelu Chufeng.
Yelu Chufeng was frustrated by Xiao Yang just yesterday. Although he had no reason to complain to Yelu Beichen, he really didn't give Xiao Yang any good looks.
He just reluctantly shouted: "Father!"
Yelu Chufeng didn't pay attention. Instead, he told Yelu Chufeng about the Western Expedition to Rongdi with great interest.
As a result, before the benefits were mentioned, Yelu Chufeng shook his head like a rattle, "Father, my son and I are staying well here in Meng'an, so we don't want to go to such a barbaric place to endure hardships!"
All Yelu Beichen's excitement was blocked by Yelu Chufeng's ignorant words, which almost choked him to death!
"You idiot! As the second prince and a nobleman from Tianhuang, how can you be so ignorant of childbirth and ignorance! Look at all the ancestors, who didn't lick blood from the tip of a knife or roll on horseback? of."
Yelu Chufeng scratched his neck and said: "Huh! No matter what the dead people did, I am living comfortably in Meng'an anyway. Whoever wants to go to that kind of ghost place, I won't go anyway!"
Yelu Beichen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, especially in front of Xiao Yang. He felt even more embarrassed. He was so angry that he stood up and shouted: "Evil son! I am your father, how dare you disobey my orders?" !”
Yelu Chufeng shrank his neck after being scolded, put on a pitiful expression, and begged: "Father, good father, I really can't bear the hardship, please spare me!"
"You!" Yelu Beichen didn't expect that his second son would be like this and completely unable to understand his good intentions.
Yelu Chufeng was so angry that he no longer cared about his mood, and snorted angrily: "You evil son! I wholeheartedly pave the way for you, but you don't even know the slightest bit about my good intentions. Hey, whatever, you Now go to your mother and let her teach you!"
After all, he didn't want to take care of Yelu Chufeng and directly asked the eunuch to send him to the queen.
Xiao Yang watched the whole process, but didn't say a word. From beginning to end, he acted like it had nothing to do with him.
Yelu Beichen, on the other hand, looked bad and said angrily: "I made you laugh."
Xiao Yang replied calmly: "If the king has nothing else to do, then I will go back first."
Yelu Beichen had long been accustomed to Xiao Yang's indifference, and he was no longer surprised at this time. In addition, he was so angry at Yelu Chufeng just now that he had no time to chat with Xiao Yang anymore, so he nodded and agreed casually.
——
Although Yelu Beichen was angry at Yelu Chufeng's clumsiness, he was actually planning for Yelu Chufeng.
No, within two days, the news spread that Yelu Beichen wanted to go to war personally, and that he would take the twelve-year-old eldest prince Yelu Chuqi with him to the battlefield.
The name is to build up the national prestige and reputation of Daliang, so that the Rongdi thieves know that Daliang is not so easy to bully.
As for privately, Yelu Beichen still made a big and beautiful cake for Yelu Chuqi - as soon as Yelu Chuqi returned victorious from the battlefield of Rong and Di, he would immediately make Yelu Chuqi the crown prince.
When Shi Qingxue heard the news, Meng Jue happened to be present.
Meng Jue is a military general and has no objections to this at all. He also greatly agreed: "The men in our Great Liang are all good men on horseback. Those who have never been on the battlefield cannot be considered as belonging to my Ashina family." Man. If you want to secure your position as the prince, you must go to the battlefield to gain experience!"
The more he talked about it, the more satisfied he became. He even said some good things about Yelu Beichen, saying that he finally looked like a father and would consider Yelu Chuqi.
Shi Qingxue just acted as a good listener at first, but as she thought about it, her beautiful Liu Yemei frowned deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, an idea flashed.
"No, this is probably a trap!" Shi Qingxue said suddenly.
The other two people were startled by her words, especially Abao, who originally had a smile on his face.
After hearing what Shi Qingxue said, she was surprised and confused, "Sister Xue, what's wrong?"
Shi Qingxue grabbed Abao's arm and said urgently: "I said this battle between Rong and Di is probably a trap. If you go, your life will be in danger. You can't go!"
Before Abao could speak, Meng Jue frowned in displeasure and said in a cold voice: "Why did Miss Shi say that? Men should go to the battlefield to train. Could it be that because of danger, they could be like that coward from the Zena family who retreated from battle?" Awesome!"
Meng Jue had obviously found out that Yelu Beichen had asked Yelu Chufeng to go to the battlefield together, but the latter refused to go because he could not bear the hardship.
Meng Jue despised such a courageous man the most, and would never allow his nephew to have stage fright.
Shi Qingxue remained calm and composed in the face of Meng Jue's aggressiveness. After Meng Jue lost his temper, he slowly said: "If it is an ordinary danger, of course we cannot escape it, but what if it is a danger deliberately set for Abao?"
