Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 879 The yellow-faced man is not stupid!
Outside the Xuanzheng Hall, Liu Ge and others were crying in pain. The guards who executed the execution were all Dugumou’s subordinates. , but they who have rich experience know that this kind of howling is the best for them who are being tortured.

Ignoring the howling outside, Li Chengqian asked Heng Lian to eat and drink. He stayed up most of the night, and both he and Qin Qiong had a bad stomach. No matter what happened, let's talk while eating. Let's save the nonsense of not talking and sleeping without talking to fool Li Xiang and the others!
After drinking a bowl of millet porridge happily, Qin Qiong put down the bowl in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, do you feel that the old minister's words just now are a bit inappropriate, which makes you unable to step down?"

The crown prince has been in command of the army for many years, and he has always been one-sided in the army. He governs the army more strictly than the emperor.According to common sense, Qin Qiong should not stand up against the prince who has already issued an order. This is not the way of a minister, even if he is the prince's teacher.

But if these people were killed tonight because of breaking into the palace, the situation would be irreversible, and it would be extremely detrimental to the prince's future.The reason Qin Qiong gave was simple, Yuchi Jingde was the emperor's absolute confidant, even more so than him and Cheng Zhijie.

Whether it is from the official position or the degree of favor, it can be clearly seen that this has also caused more and more people in the army to rely on Yuchi, and the relationship has become more intertwined.

Since entering the Zhenguan Dynasty, Yu Chigong's status in the army has risen sharply, and his status is only a little lower than Li Jing. But when it comes to power, he is indeed a person who can say nothing. Although Li Ji and Hou Junji's reputation is great, but Yuchi, whose buns have pleats where stuffing doesn't exist, is much better than them.

Especially after the establishment of the Northern and Southern Yamen, the generals and schools that Yuchi voted for him are like crucian carp crossing the river, because everyone thinks that Yuchi is the emperor's first confidant, and taking refuge in him is equivalent to taking refuge in the emperor; of course, this has to be said Among them was the emperor's move to fuel the flames, the purpose of which was to weaken Li Jing's power in the army.

To put it bluntly, at least [-]% of the generals and schools in the Twelve Guards of Nanya came from Yuchi's sect, and today these few are just drizzle, and they are the least intelligent among them.If the crown prince really wanted to slaughter these guys for a while, it would be tantamount to offending the entire Yuchi line of generals.

Qin Qiong has led soldiers and fought battles all his life. He understands too well that even if the prince's military attainments are extraordinary, he won many battles and his reputation shakes the world.But for a place where the army is so emotional, they can be convinced with a little prestige and noble status.

To put it more clearly, take the Xuanjia Army currently stationed in the Daming Palace as an example. The prince can order them to act, but he cannot make them submit willingly, because this army belongs to the emperor alone, but only the emperor ordered him to obey. .

That's right, the emperor has promoted the nationalization of the army in the army for many years. In addition to delineating the northern and southern yamen, he also implemented a corresponding promotion system in the army, just to dilute the influence of the generals; It can't be cleared up in a day or two, or with some means.

What's more, this is a method of weakening the combat effectiveness. The consequences of not knowing the general and the general not knowing the soldier are likely to cause Datang to fail in the next or next war, so the emperor was very careful when he did it. Take it lightly from time to time, like handling an egg.

Tonight, as long as the heads of Liu Ge and others fall to the ground, even if there is no mutiny, the generals of the Nanya Weichi line will complain in their hearts from now on, so that those who are interested will take advantage of it, and from then on they will secretly and deliberately oppose Donggong , became a stumbling block on the way to the crown prince.

Happy is happy, but the price paid is too expensive and not worth it, so Qin Qiong would rather let him hurt face than let the prince do such a stupid thing. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

As for the cause of the incident, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong suggested to issue an edict to reprimand him, and let him go to the mansion to read it out in person, chat with this old brother well, and he will be able to actively cooperate; he has been a brother with Yuchi for so many years, Qin Qiong does not believe him Do things that damage the dignity of the elders just to meet the sons and daughters.

In any case, this misunderstanding must be resolved as soon as possible, so as not to cause any irreparable rift between the emperor, the crown prince and Yuchi, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Teacher, you are very calculating. When it comes to this, what else can Gu say!"

Li Chengqian understands what Qin Qiong said inside and outside the meaning, this road to the sky is already extremely bumpy, he doesn't want himself to make too many enemies because of the battle of emotions, so as to make this road even more difficult.

"However, please tell the teacher to tell Duke E that nothing can be done. The royal family's grace is always in abundance. Today, the orphan can just look at the teacher's face and forget it.

If there is trouble again, not to mention some generals in the Nanya, no matter how great the meritorious veterans are, they will never tolerate them alone!The imperial power is supreme, the generals can be abolished, and the country cannot be shaken. "

After finishing speaking, he got up and came to the case to write a letter, stamped the prince's seal and handed it to Qin Qiong, indicating that he could leave.

It is true that Li Chengqian sympathizes with Yu Chigong, but there is a prerequisite for this, and it must be under the condition of ensuring the stability of the government and the army, otherwise no one can talk about it.

After Qin Qiong left, Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yizhi, who had finished the beating, also came in. Seeing the prince sitting on the steps waving, the two also shook their purple robes and sat at the prince's feet, looking up and waiting for the prince's order.Shi Ye, Shi Ye, since the situation in the army has changed, the mission of the two of them to be on guard should be revoked, right?
"From now on, the Sixth Commander will be in a state of combat readiness, and all activities such as vacations, retirements, and family visits will be stopped. People will not remove their armor and horses will never leave their saddles; all Zhechong Mansions under the Sixth Commander's jurisdiction will be on standby at any time. The two of you will each have half of the soldiers and horses." , waiting for Gu's orders at any time."

After hearing the prince's military order, Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yizhi both took a deep breath. Since the sixth rate was transformed into a field guard rate, the prince has never issued such an order, even when the battle is fierce. Never touched so many people.

The Zhechong Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Six Rates is different from the military mansion in the usual sense. The soldiers under the jurisdiction here are all veterans who have retired over the years, and they must be in the prime of life. In addition to the farming season, they also accept three months of high school. Intensive training and full military pay.

Once these retired veterans are recalled, the army directly under the Six Commands will at least double in size. The prince's use of so many soldiers and horses shows that he is afraid of Yu Chigong, a great commander, to a certain extent.

"Remember, you must send the best scouts to watch the Nanya camp twelve hours a day. Don't think this matter is over, or the teacher won't go there in person. Yu Chigong is a loyal minister, but loyal ministers are somewhat Time is the most unbearable grievance, so take precautions before they happen!".
