Chapter 1558 The Prince's Order
Qi Huang nodded slightly, and gave the prince an approving look, but he didn't express his opinion immediately, he needed to hear if there were any different voices.

Li Yuanchang, the Duke of Lu, stepped forward and said: "What His Royal Highness said is very true. With such a two-pronged approach, the rogue bandits and refugees living abroad must be calmed down soon."

Next, several ministers stepped forward to second the proposal, and they all agreed with the prince's proposal.

Xiao Yichen stood below, and didn't speak for a while, because there was indeed nothing to be picky about the prince's proposal.

Seeing that so many people agreed with the prince's proposal, Emperor Qi nodded and said: "I also think that this method is feasible, so who is worthy of this important task?"

The prince immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead the army to fight against the bandits."

As soon as the crown prince said this, Li Yuanchang immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your highness the crown prince is the heir apparent of the country, and you must not lead troops into danger."

Prince Xiao Ziyu just asked for orders to fight against the bandits, but he didn't mean it sincerely, he just wanted to show his bravery and fearlessness in front of Emperor Qi.

So, when he heard Li Yuanchang come out to speak for himself, he lightly touched Chu Yi next to him with his right elbow, turned his gaze to look at him, and beckoned him to come forward and ask for orders.

Chu Yi's gaze was like water, and he stood there motionless like a mountain, as if he didn't understand the meaning in Prince Xiao Ziyu's eyes, and he didn't have any intention of going forward to ask for his order.

At this time, Meng Xingyu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Meng Xingyu is willing to lead troops to fight against the bandits, please allow me."

With that said, Meng Xingyu knelt down, clasped his fists and begged the emperor for orders.

The reason why Meng Xingyu asked for his life on his own initiative was based on several considerations. Firstly, since he first returned to the Meng family, he wanted to be the future head of the Meng family, so it is very unnecessary to make meritorious deeds; It is very likely that the matter will fall on Xiao Yichen, and in three months' time it will be the day of Xiao Yichen's big wedding with Miss Ling. At this time, he should naturally stay in Qidu and make good preparations for the big wedding.

Emperor Qi took a look at Meng Xingyu, nodded slightly, and said: "Xingyu is extremely talented, and his cultivation is extraordinary, so he is worthy of this job. I will now designate you as the general who will defeat the bandits. In three days, I will lead [-] elite troops to Nanning City to fight against the bandits. .”

Meng Xingyu bowed his head to thank him, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The prince was very depressed, but now he didn't care about the depression, he stepped forward and said: "Father, let the ministers help the refugees."

Qihuang also wanted the prince to do this in his heart, because helping the refugees is a matter of showing merit, and the prince is the future monarch, so it is naturally most suitable for him to do such a thing.

This is also the reason why Emperor Qi didn't agree immediately when the crown prince asked for orders to fight against the bandits.

Emperor Qi nodded and said: "Prince, I will appoint you as a relief ambassador. Three days later, I will set off with Meng Xingyu, the general who conquered bandits, to relieve the refugees."

Xiao Yichen suddenly stepped forward and said: "Father, the refugees are scattered and fleeing in all directions. If only Brother Huang goes there, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them. I think we should send another person to assist Brother Huang."

Xiao Yichen suddenly realized that one of the reasons why the crown prince is so concerned about helping the refugees is that he can get a lot of benefits from it, and these benefits, to a certain extent, can also complement the crown prince's last time. Misappropriation of the state treasury.
