This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 722 Fighting for Power
Yanjing City.

Eunuch Cheng, who was standing next to the emperor, had just finished reading the victory report sent by Jinling, when the court suddenly exploded!

Since the beginning of the war, the mood of the officials in the court can be described by the word ups and downs. First, there was a great victory in the north. An explosion killed more than 2 Huns. Their mood flew directly to the sky.Afterwards, it was reported from Pingyang Pass that General Yang Zhong personally ordered to shoot and kill the people of Yangzhou, which made their mood drop to the bottom.

But before they could slow down, the news of Bajiaopo's great victory came again. They won more with less, and they defeated the [-] troops of Southern Chu with the loss of [-] to [-] troops. soar into the air.

Some elderly officials couldn't take it any longer, they stood in the hall and kept touching their chests and panting heavily.

Some young officials couldn't hold back and cheered directly in the court hall. Such a rude behavior would inevitably be punished in normal times, but today the Emperor Zhou didn't say anything to reprimand him.

Not to mention these young officials, even the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the group of officials didn't have the time to stand up and reprimand those who cheered at this time. In fact, they also wanted to cheer a few times at this time.

At that time, some civil servants couldn't restrain the excitement in their hearts and stood up to plead for Wen Ruyan's life, asking Emperor Zhou to confer His Royal Highness Prince Jing as a prince, and asking for beads for him.

It's still here, these people really are still ruthless, and the enemy is still thinking about fighting for power!

The smile on Zhou Tianzi's face dissipated immediately, and Chen Ling, the Duke of Zhen who stood in front, also had a gloomy look in his eyes. He couldn't help but look at the prince beside him, Wen Ruyu. Wen Ruyu just shook him slightly. Shaking his head, he didn't say anything.

The official did not back down after saying this, but just stood there bowed and waited for Zhou Tianzi's reply, when Zhou Tianzi was about to speak, Prime Minister Su Dinghe suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is inappropriate."

The official was anxious at that time, looked up at Su Dinghe and asked: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with this? The current empress is the biological mother of His Highness Prince Jing, and at this moment His Highness Prince Jing has made such an indelible contribution, so Emotionally speaking, being a Prince Jiazhu is more than enough, right?"

"Master Zheng!" Su Dinghe turned around and looked at him calmly: "Prince Jiazhu only appeared when I was courting Emperor Taizu. Before his death, Emperor Taizu said that this title should not appear again, so After Emperor Gaozu succeeded to the throne, he completely abolished this title. As a descendant, how can His Majesty establish a prince again? Are you going to trap Your Majesty in an unfilial position?"

Mr. Zheng was at a loss for words at first, and then said with a blushing face, "Of course I don't dare, but His Highness Prince Jing has made such great achievements. If there is no award, won't His Highness's heart be chilled?"

"Master Zheng, if an outsider robs your family's property, shouldn't your second child stand up and resist? Isn't this what he has to do? Could it be that he did this kind of thing just to get your reward? If you don't reward Shouldn't he have done it?"

"This..." Su Dinghe's continuous questioning made Mr. Zheng feel embarrassed. He blushed for a long time and was about to answer his question, but was interrupted by Zhou Tianzi who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Okay, stop arguing." Zhou Tianzi interrupted their argument at that time: "I have made my own decision on this matter, let's retreat."

Outside the palace gate.

Chen Ling caught up with the prince Wen Ruyu who was walking in front, stepped forward and said directly: "Your Highness, you have seen what happened in the court today, those people have not given up, why don't you let the old minister speak? If the prime minister hadn't stood up, I'm afraid that the surname Zheng would force His Majesty to make an order."

Wen Ruyu turned her head to look at him, and said calmly, "So what if you make your second brother a prince?"

"His Royal Highness!" Chen Ling became impatient: "In the past two years, King Jing has made a lot of military exploits one after another, and now he has won the support of many people in the world, plus the group of people above the court Are you really not worried about people fanning the flames?"

Wen Ruyu's expression was still calm, and she said: "Father must have warned you about what happened last time, and I have also warned you, if you want to live the rest of your life in peace, then don't say anything , don’t do anything, we will take care of our own affairs!”

Leaving these words behind, Wen Ruyu got into her carriage and drove off on her own.

After he left, several nobles walked up to Chen Ling and asked, "What did the prince say?"

Chen Ling snorted softly, and said: "The crown prince is really blinded by this ridiculous kinship of the Tian family, and he is in a dangerous situation without knowing it. If this continues, I'm afraid that Prince Jing will really catch up with him! "

Yunzhou.

The news of the great victory at Bajiaopo naturally also spread. Jing Yichuan and Yang Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard such a victory. At this time, the governor of Yunzhou, Xing Xinhe, came over with two wine jars.

You must know that the army led by His Royal Highness King Jing is all his soldiers from Yunzhou, and the soldiers of Yunzhou have made such incomparable achievements. How can he, the governor of Yunzhou, be unhappy?
Yang Ping took the wine jar and directly opened the seal and took a big sip. Sometimes young people can't control their emotions when they encounter happy things, but Jing Yichuan is going to be much better. After taking the wine jar, he just put it on the On the table in front of him, it was not opened.

"Why doesn't Shuai Jing drink heavily? Are you unhappy to hear such a great victory?" Xing Xinhe asked curiously.

Jing Yichuan chuckled, and said: "The commander is not allowed to drink alcohol when he is away on an expedition. This is the iron law set by His Majesty."

Yang Ping, who was drinking heavily from the wine jar, suddenly became embarrassed, and put the wine jar down resentfully.

Jing Yichuan smiled again: "It's okay, you are the deputy commander."

In fact, Jing Yichuan just felt that since the general personally ordered the shooting of the people in Yangzhou and aroused the anger of the whole world, Yang Ping had a very bad time, and he had been feeling aggrieved for his father in his heart. Finally, he felt much better, and it was good for him to drink some wine and relax.

Yang Ping's face darkened at first, and then he picked up the wine jar and drank it regardless. After taking a few more sips, he said excitedly: "With thirty-five thousand against eighty thousand, the damage will be three to four thousand. The enemy is [-], and the enemy is more than [-] captured, it sounds really exciting! I really wish I could go together with His Highness to build such an incomparable achievement!"

"Yes." Even Jing Yichuan felt a little emotional at this moment. He has fought for many years and won many battles, but he has never encountered such an exaggerated record.

Looking at the famous generals in the world, which one did not become famous in the first battle?

Xing Xinhe had never led troops to fight, so he naturally didn't understand the feelings of Jing Yichuan and Yang Ping, so he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, you two, there will be opportunities in the future, but at this moment, you still need the two of you to stay in Yunzhou. The virtuous king is dead, and tens of thousands of Xiongnu elite were killed, but the defense of the northern border is still indispensable."

The three chatted for a long time again, and after Yang Ping finished drinking the wine in the jar, Xing Xinhe planned to leave.

Just when he got up, a scout covered in injuries suddenly ran in from the outside and fell straight in front of Jing Yichuan and the others.

"Report, Grassland. The Huns army was found on the grassland!"
