Chapter 554 Support Countermeasures
But now is the time to add insult to injury?Is this person stupid or looking for trouble on purpose!The eldest prince looked on coldly, sighing inwardly. Normally, since Zhao Wuji was still around, he certainly couldn't pay too much attention to the government affairs. He only felt that the entire Wu Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous. Something out of the ordinary.

It was only when he saw it today that he discovered that there are people who don't know the current affairs and don't know how to advance or retreat, not to mention the place, even in this temple hall!

Empress Shangguan on the side frowned and said, "We'll discuss this later! The most important thing now is the war in the south. Master Li, do you have any specific news?"

Although Empress Shangguan didn't know the grievances between the speaker and Old General Ji, she also knew that now was not the time to discuss this. After all, Old General Ji was still fighting in the south!
Li Chengji bowed and said: "Go back to your mother, according to the news, after the defeat of General Ji, he has retracted his defense line and retreated from Pengze County to the rear of Ganzhou. ...But according to Old General Ji, Zhao Chen will not let go of such an opportunity, and will definitely send his troops to the north, so that the court can make plans early."

Many people really panicked now, Zhao Chen could really call over!If some of them who panicked just now did it on purpose, then it's not acting, but really scared!

The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "How about the loss of General Ji? Can you explain the reason for the defeat in the battle?"

Li Chengji shook his head and said: "The information did not detail it, it just said that the loss was not small. As for the reason, it was not mentioned in the letter."

Regarding this point, Li Chengji can guess why, after all, Old General Ji is also the Generalissimo of the imperial court. He has fought all his life and has few opponents. How can he be reconciled to suffering such a big loss at the hands of the second prince now!One is embarrassment, and the other is of course just trying to get back the scene.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Queen Shangguan asked.

None of the people below made a sound, Empress Shangguan snorted coldly: "I told you, why are everyone dumb! Do you really want to watch Zhao Zhen call?"

Seeing the empress Shangguan getting angry, all the officials quickly knelt down to plead guilty, but they wanted to speak out, but still no one spoke.

In the end, the eldest prince couldn't stand it anymore, so he called out his names directly: "Shangshu of the Ministry of War, what suggestion do you have?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was named Jia Shiyuan. Upon hearing the words, he quickly said: "His Royal Highness, there are rebel forces in various places now, and it is really difficult to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the place. Of course, General Ji also needs to provide support. The veteran has two suggestions."

"Please speak!" The eldest prince raised his hand slightly, signaling the other party to speak quickly.

Jia Shiyuan said: "The old minister feels that the supporting troops can only come from two places. One is Shangjing. There are still 50 elite soldiers in Shangjing. Now Zhao Chen is still far away. It is entirely possible to send some troops to support Ji. The old general, in addition, the soldiers and horses from several states and counties near Ganzhou can be assembled to support the old general Ji."

After Jia Shiyuan finished speaking, Li Chengji in front stood up and said: "I think it's wrong! The soldiers and horses in the capital should not move lightly! Once they move lightly, the defense of the capital will be empty. At this time, it is easy to be taken advantage of! Especially There is still a Seventh Prince in Huizhou who is watching! So I think it is better to directly gather troops in Ganzhou."

The First Prince nodded slightly, feeling that what Li Chengji said was very reasonable, he turned to Empress Shangguan and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Empress Shangguan nodded and said: "Then do as Master Li wants!"

Jia Shiyuan sighed secretly. In fact, he felt that the 50 elite soldiers in Shangjing could allocate another 30 to [-] people to support Old General Ji. After all, the city of Shangjing is so high and thick that it would be difficult to capture even a million soldiers. Besides, the queen still has so many guards, so there is no need to be afraid!It's a pity that now that Prime Minister Li Chengji has spoken, the First Prince and Empress Shangguan obviously listen to Li Chengji more, so it's hard for him to say anything more.

Seeing that his opinion was adopted, Li Chengji bowed again and said: "Madam, Your Highness, in addition to letting the states and counties around Ganzhou gather troops, we can also let the Seventh Prince of Huizhou send troops. The Seventh Prince is stationed in Huizhou, isn't it just to deal with the Zhao Chen? Now is the time for the opponent to take action!"

The First Prince frowned, it's no wonder that the Seventh Prince was able to send troops!Li Seungji would not be ignorant of what was going on with the other party, so why bother?

Empress Shangguan nodded when she heard the words: "Master Li is right, the Seventh Prince is willing to share the country's worries, and this is the time to repay him. After all, the Seventh Prince is not like Zhao Chen, who dares to rebel and stand on his own!"

Hearing that Empress Shangguan was also talking nonsense with her eyes open, the Eldest Prince was slightly taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he finally understood why the two of them said this in unison here. Empress Shangguan and Li Chengji obviously knew what was going on with the Seventh Prince. Asking the opponent to send troops is just to disgust the opponent. Didn't you say you want to deal with Zhao Chen?Now that the opportunity has come, you should take it!

It is unlikely that the Seventh Prince will come, but if he doesn't, it will be against the decree and he will leave a handle. Once Zhao Wuji wakes up, it will be a big crime!The eldest prince secretly sighed, Prime Minister Li is still taller!He quietly created a trouble for the seventh prince, although even if he didn't do this, after the father woke up, he probably wouldn't let his seventh brother go.

After discussing some recent events, the people announced that they would go to court, and the orders given to the Seventh Prince were sent out quickly.

In less than a day, the Seventh Prince received the decree from the imperial court. After reading it, he smiled coldly and said, "Is this me being the spearman? I really don't know if the elder brother is really stupid or just confused. I'm here in Huizhou , can he not know why I am here?"

Sima who was sitting next to him smiled silently and said, "Even if the eldest prince doesn't know, Queen Shangguan and Prime Minister Li are not ordinary people, so you can't tell? Besides, I heard that the fifth prince also left Shangjing and went to Liaozhou. If you still don’t know what’s going on, the world would have already…”

He was going to say that he had already moved to another house, but when he thought that his master was also from the Zhao family, he quickly stopped talking and did not continue.

The Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen didn't know if he didn't hear what he said, or pretended not to hear it on purpose, and asked: "Then they know I won't go to the south, why did they send such a decree?"

Sima Wuyan pondered slightly, and said: "It's nothing more than wanting to disgust Your Highness. After all, when His Highness came to Huizhou, he said on the surface that he wanted to fight against the Second Prince. Now let His Highness go to the south. If you don't go, then But it is against the decree, although the imperial court will not do anything to you now, once His Majesty wakes up, it will be an excuse to pursue it."

What Sima Wuyan was thinking coincided with Li Chengji's. He was really extraordinary to be able to grasp Li Chengji's intentions so quickly.

The Seventh Prince Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "Then what should I do? It's better not to lose my tongue."

Sima Wuyan smiled and said: "This is easier to handle. If you want to go, but you have no choice but to go."

"Oh? Brother Wuyan, what do you mean..." The Seventh Prince pursued.

Sima Wuyan said: "Your Highness only needs to find an excuse to hold back the court. It's really simple. Your Highness, you can reply that Huizhou is not a safe place. There are many rebellions in various counties and counties. Leading troops to suppress, I really can’t get away, as long as the rebellion in Huizhou is suppressed, I will definitely go to the south to support Old General Ji!"

The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Brother Wu Yan, this plan is good! As for when the rebellion will be wiped out, it's up to us, so let's reply like this!"

Sima Wuyan nodded with a smile. In fact, he still felt a little disapproving of this. As he said before, the court's move was nothing more than to disgust the Seventh Prince. Even if the Seventh Prince ignored it, the final result would be fine. It's different, because since the Seventh Prince left from Shangjing and came to Huizhou, his fate has been doomed!

Either he took advantage of the situation and finally ascended to a high position, or Zao Wou-ki came to his senses and wiped out all parties, and his seventh prince could only fall short and die with hatred. Apart from these two possibilities, it is difficult to have any other endings, but The Seventh Prince is still delusional about the possibility of turning back, which really makes him a little at a loss as to what to say.

For this point, the seventh prince is really inferior to the second prince. Of course, since he chose to assist the seventh prince, it is better not to say these words.

The letter from the Seventh Prince's side was quickly forwarded to Shangjing, and it was in the hands of the First Prince. After reading the reply from the Seventh Prince, the First Prince threw the letter away and said coldly, "What a good excuse! Did he wear the same pair of trousers as Lao Wu? We also cleared up the rebellion, Huizhou was completely monolithic by his Lao Qi, what rebellion is there!"

Although Li Chengji, the prime minister next to him, didn't read the letter, he could guess what was written on it from the words of the eldest prince, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be angry, we didn't expect to go to Qi Prince, it’s just to disgust the other party, as for whether the other party will unite with the fifth prince, His Highness does not need to worry, in fact, no matter whether it is the fifth prince or the seventh prince, as well as Zhao Chen in the south, it is impossible to unite. "

The reason why he said that was because these princes all wanted to ascend the throne in the future, but this emperor could only have one person. If they cooperated, who would ascend the throne in the end?As for dividing the land and ruling, that's not possible, because they are all princes of the Wu Dynasty. Even if they are rebellious, they will never see the whole world because they are torn apart. At least it is not a last resort. things happen.
