Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 136 I Support the King

Seeing that Du Ruhui really wanted to leave, not to lie to him, Xue Shou hurriedly called him to stop.

"stop!"

Du Ruhui stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

Xue Shou sighed helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, Du Ruhui came back and said, "Guess, if you guess right, you won't have to ask the king, and you won't have to keep feeling uncomfortable."

Xue Shou gave him a gouging look, and complained a little bit. Brothers can't tell each other about such a small matter, which is really heartbreaking.

"I do have guesses in my mind."

"Yeah." Du Ruhui nodded and folded his hands.

"Your Majesty asked us to take back the Yunyang Army. It should be because the Yunyang Army is the direct descendant of the Jinyang Army. Your Majesty is not willing to hand over this army to Li Yuan. No, it should be because he does not want to hand it over to the Crown Prince. Perhaps, To put it a little deeper, the king thought it was the crown prince who was taking his military power."

"Then what do you think?" Du Ruhui asked.

"What do I think?" Xue Shou was puzzled.

Du Ruhui said: "Do you think the crown prince is taking away the military power of the king by taking advantage of the king's absence in Chang'an to plot to capture the Yunyang army?"

Xue Shou was silent for a while, then nodded silently.

Although everyone knew that the soldiers and horses of Datang belonged to saints, but in private, everyone knew who the Yunyang Army belonged to.

"Then let me ask you again, if Li Yuan defeats Zhu Can this time, will the Yunyang army return to the king's hands?"

you still need to ask?

Certainly not possible!
Xue Shou is not stupid, the prince was clear about King Chu's wooing him before.Why did the prince win over the King of Chu?It's not because of the army under King Chu and the influence in the army.Once Li Yuan defeated Zhu Can, it would be equivalent to placing a powerful pawn in the military by the East Palace. How could the crown prince return the Yunyang Army to the King of Chu and give up Li Yuan's pawn.

"No." He said sullenly.

Du Ruhui nodded, and continued: "Do you think, once the king loses the Yunyang army, will the king still be the king?"

Is the king still the king?
When Xue Shou was thinking about this sentence secretly, Du Ruhui continued: "Your Majesty's current position in the court has been achieved by him with one sword and one shot since he raised his troops in Jinyang. If he loses the control of the Yunyang Army and loses the direct soldiers Ma, when the time comes, the king will become a marginal person in the court and will no longer be able to make meritorious service."

"It's not that serious." Xue Shou said hesitantly: "The king is the son of a saint. With his talent, as long as there is a war, he can lead the army."

"Don't you know the disadvantages of Zhechong's military system?" Du Ruhui asked.

Xue Shou was speechless for a moment.

On the surface, it seems that Zhechong's soldiers only belong to the imperial court, but it is not that kind of thing at all.

For example, Yunyang Army.

The [-] soldiers of the Yunyang Army have more or less been taken care of by the King of Chu.The spoils of daily expeditions are also distributed by the King of Chu, which is conducive to establishing the prestige of the King of Chu and the recognition of the King of Chu by the soldiers of the Yunyang Army.

In other words, the King of Chu is the military leader recognized by the soldiers of the Yunyang Army.As long as the king of Chu gives an order, they will not rush forward with a frown.

But if the Yunyang Army is lost and the King of Chu leads other soldiers and horses to go out, there will be no such effect at all.

Because the other soldiers and horses are all organized. Starting from the middle-level officers, they are basically fixed. Will they absolutely obey the orders of the King of Chu?
not necessarily.

And once these people have a little selfishness, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Xue Shou didn't intend to get entangled in this matter, but instead asked, "But it's wrong for the king to resist the prince like this?"

"You mean, do you want the king to turn to the crown prince?" Du Ruhui asked his rhetorical question.

"The crown prince is the crown prince, so shouldn't he support it." At this point, Xue Shou was shocked and looked at Du Ruhui in disbelief.

Seeing this, Du Ruhui nodded, indicating that you are right.

"Your Majesty supports King Qin?" Xue Shou asked in disbelief.

Although the name of the crown prince has been determined early, all the officials in Chang'an can see the threat of King Qin to the crown prince's status.In particular, there have been rumors in the market that the sage had made King Qin the crown prince.

Du Ruhui grinned, "Mother, what's the matter with you, old Xue, how can you be so confused at this moment.

"Your Majesty has never supported the King of Qin. You should be very clear about this."

The king doesn't support the king of Qin, and he doesn't support the prince, what does he want to do.

Support King Qi?

This is impossible, my king is not a fool, it is impossible to support King Qi.

Thinking of this, no matter how stupid Xue Shou is, he can figure it out.

So, he took two steps back, his eyes widened, as if he saw something that shocked and frightened him.

Du Ruhui touched his chin and asked curiously, "Are you afraid?"

nonsense!

This kind of thing should be feared by everyone.

"Your Majesty, he wants to compete for the heir?" Xue Shou stuttered, confirming to Du Ruhui in disbelief.

Du Ruhui smiled slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze.

No answer, no negative.

But in Xue Shou's view, this is an admission in disguise.

"Your Majesty is crazy, so are you!" Xue Shou broke his defense immediately.

Du Ruhui asked: "Why do you say that?"

Xue Shou took a deep breath and remained silent for a while.

Du Ruhui knew that for this kind of thing, Xue had to be given time to react.So, he silently watched Xue Shou digest the news, without disturbing him.

After half a stick of incense time passed, Xue Shou returned to his senses. He looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Do you know that it is impossible for the king to succeed at all."

"Why?" Du Ruhui asked back.

"Why?" Xue Shou was amused by this question, and he said: "Since ancient times, the position of the crown prince has been established either as a heir or an elder. The king is neither an heir nor an elder. How can he enter the East Palace? Could it be that you have to fight A risky move to seize the position with soldiers?"

Speaking of this, Xue Shou was shocked all over his body. He finally understood why the King of Chu wanted to hold on to the Yunyang Army. It turned out that he wanted to forcibly seize the throne!

"You are crazy, even if the king has a hundred thousand troops, but the Tang Dynasty still has the king of Qin, the king of Qi, and all the clans, you will never succeed! Keming, listen to my advice, let's go to the king immediately, Let the king stop, it is not too late!"

Xue Shou really couldn't think of where King Chu could win. Once King Chu seized the throne by force, King Qin would be the biggest obstacle, let alone King Qi and others.

The king of Chu is fighting for the heir, there is no chance of winning!
Seeing the flustered Xue Shou, Du Ru said indifferently: "Brother Xue, you are overthinking, the king has never thought of using soldiers to win the throne."

Having said this, Du Ruhui felt a little guilty, because he and King Chu never ruled out this option.However, they unanimously put this choice at the end, and they would not do so unless it was an emergency.

"That means there is no hope at all." Xue Shou repeated coldly, "There is no hope at all!"

Apart from winning the throne with soldiers, Xue Shou couldn't think of any other way to get the King of Chu to the top.

Du Ruhui smiled, and said easily: "Is the distinction between the eldest son and the eldest son really that important? Is the second emperor of Qin the eldest son? Was Xiaowen the first son of the former Han Dynasty? Was Xiao Zhao the first son of the former Han Dynasty? People, since Ji Zhou, how many heroic masters have not been born as descendants. You and I are today, why should we stick to these things."

"Hehe, what you said sounds like a celebrity's white horse is not a horse." Xue Shou snorted coldly.

"But what I said was the truth, wasn't it?"

Xue Shou said coldly: "Even if what you said is true, but you are from the Jingzhao Du family, don't you understand that this world is not the world in the past, and it is not a world where anyone who has soldiers in his hand can sit firmly!"

"You are right. This is a world governed by the emperor and the family. Of course, I am very clear about this."

"Since you know why you don't persuade the king!" Xue Shou couldn't suppress his anger, and asked him, "Don't you know that the prince's east palace is all the children of the Shandong family. Behind the king of Qin, the Guanlong family gathered together. Where is the king? Your king Who is there to support? Even if the king can really seize the throne by force, the family will not be united, and the position of the king will be secure! Do you want the world to be in chaos again!"

"The world is in chaos now." Du Ruhui said.

"Enough, I'm talking business with you!"

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Of course I know what you said, but you have to know that it depends on human effort."

"It's a matter of human effort." Xue Shou laughed angrily, "Could it be possible that the king can win other people's support?"

"Why not?"

"Who supports the king?" Xue Shou was puzzled.

Du Ruhui nodded his nose, "Me."
