Zhao Yuan smiled and waved to the maid in the room to clean up the mess, then retreated, and invited Zhao Jing to sit down, and then said slowly: "Your Highness, Xiao Ding's performance today is really great. So good that only

I'm afraid His Majesty is also muttering in his heart."

Zhao Jing trembled slightly and looked at the other person: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Yuan chuckled and said slowly: "Your Highness, tell me, if on the Hebei Road, if Xiao Ding commanded such a powerful army, there were 100,000, no, no, no, as long as there were 50,000, your Majesty would not

Are you worried?"

"The more powerful the army is, the happier my father will be. Now my father is thinking about the Northern Expedition." Zhao Jing blurted out, but looking at the meaningless smile on Zhao Yuan's face, he suddenly understood:

"But these armies were all built by Lao Er."

"Yes, they are all made by His Highness King Jing." Zhao Yuan sneered: "In the past few years, the documents sent back to and from Hebei Road have always praised His Highness King Jing, especially those generals. His Highness King Jing's skills are superb.

, even if they have built a strong army and fed these generals well, of course they will say good things as much as possible. As everyone knows, the more good things they say, the less stable the officials will feel, right?"

Zhao Jing clapped his hands and said: "I understand what you mean. So, my father must not let the second brother interfere in this round of battle mobilization. If even the Fourth Army has passed through his hands, how can my father sleep?"

Safe?"

"This is exactly the reason!" Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "So, Your Highness, this is a good opportunity for you. Why don't you fight for it with the officials and hold this position in your hands? The Fourth Army came out of Beijing in rotation, and the Hebei Army

It may take several years to transfer back to guard Bianliang, back and forth! Who will go first and who will go last? Even who will not go, isn't it decided by His Highness? Those returning troops will go

Wouldn’t it be up to you, Your Highness, to decide whether to station in a good place or a place with poor mountains and rough waters and a large number of unruly people? In this way, wouldn’t His Highness make up for one of his own shortcomings?”

What are Zhao Jing’s shortcomings?

Of course it's military power.

Because he had always tried his best to oppose the war in order to support the Qing Dynasty and recruit the scholar-bureaucrat class. Whenever the court wanted to increase military expenditures, expand the army, or even breed war horses, he opposed it regardless of the reason.

This indeed gained him a lot of popularity as an anti-war advocate, but it also created a lot of rift with the military.

"Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity to improve relations with the military and win over military generals." Zhao Yuan said.

Of course what Zhao Yuan said was very reasonable, but Zhao Jing still looked embarrassed.

The round battle involves too much.

Not to mention anything else, if you just want the Fourth Army with nearly 100,000 men to fight in the border areas, how big is the resistance here?

Are these people willing to go?

Of course I don't want to.

Who wants to leave the beautiful life here in Bianliang, a world of flowers, and go to a windy and sandy place like Northland to eat sand and soil? If that is all, it is enough, but there are also extremely vicious Liao people!

In war, people will die.

Naturally, these troops don't want to go. Their families don't want to go either. If these people were added together, the number would be hundreds of thousands.

Zhao Jing has always claimed to represent the public opinion. If he takes over this matter, he will have to go against these public opinions. If the time comes, he will not be a human being.

"It's quite difficult here! I need to think about it carefully." Zhao Jing looked around and talked to him.

Zhao Yuan said: "Your Highness, whenever you want to do something, you will encounter difficulties. It just depends on the final benefit and the current effort? The benefits of this matter are obvious. And even if those people hate things like round battles,

Can you hate His Highness again? This is Xiao Ding's recommendation, Chen Gui's approval, and His Majesty's approval. Your Highness can make himself the one who has to go against his original intention and take on this hard job in order to save the soldiers of the Wheel Warriors from suffering.

people."

Zhao Jing's eyes lit up: "This is wonderful!"

"There is one more important thing!" Zhao Yuan said: "The Fourth Army took turns in the battle, the Hebei Army marched to Beijing, and the army was mobilized for defense. The cost was huge. In addition to the local transportation along the way, the court also had to get a lot of money. Xiao Yu

As the third envoy, this matter is enough to make him scratch his head. If he makes some mistakes during this process, wouldn't it just fall into the hands of His Highness?"

"Wonderful!" Zhao Jing's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Even if he doesn't make any mistakes, we can force him to make some mistakes. No matter how it ends, he, the third commander, cannot escape responsibility. This person

Since taking office, it seems that Weiwei Nailao follows Xiao Gui and Cao Cao, but I feel that he is a wolf in the mountains, always watching me, and will attack whenever I have the opportunity."

"I think so too." Zhao Yuan said: "This person must not be underestimated. If he can be captured earlier, it is better to capture him earlier. Otherwise, he will find an opportunity to defeat His Highness in the Third Division in one fell swoop.

All the people inside were uprooted, and it was too late for us to regret it.”

The most important thing for a country is its personnel, financial power and military power.

Zhao Jing felt that he could control people and money, and he had been working hard over the years to win over and install many people among the three envoys. Naturally, he could not allow Xiao Yu to destroy it.

"I will write a note today and ask my father for this job!" Zhao Jing said, slapping his thigh.

"No, no, no!" Zhao Yuan waved his hands and said: "Your Highness, there are many people who want this position. The princes of the two houses will definitely stare at this position like black-eyed chickens. Everyone knows that there is a huge opportunity here.

The interests lie. So, now you just watch and let them fight. If they fight to the end and are locked in a stalemate, if His Highness takes action at this time, he will definitely hit with one hit."

"What if my father approves one of them in advance?" Zhao Jing asked worriedly.

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly: "Break the bones and connect the tendons, and the blood is thicker than water! Don't the officials know the military power, personnel, and finance involved here? It's strange that your highness has never had anything to do with the military in the past, but instead

It was a bit dirty, but now it has become an advantage. So, as long as Your Highness hands over the information at the critical moment and is willing to help the officials solve their problems, this position will definitely be yours."

Zhao Jing burst out laughing: "Ziyu is indeed my Zhang Zifang. As you said, let's first see which husbands will want to get involved! They are already very powerful ministers. If they still want to do this,

, I’m afraid it will make the officials unhappy.”

"That's right!" Zhao Yuan said.

Zhao Jing sighed again and said: "Back then, I thought I was driving the second son out of the capital, but unexpectedly, he was like a fish in water. Now when he comes back, he will know that Kaifeng Mansion, Ziyu, this is Kaifeng

Mansion! Tell me, does my father have a plan in mind?"

"No!" Zhao Yuan said flatly: "Although Kaifeng Mansion is of special significance, Your Highness, don't forget that Your Majesty is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period now! King Jing has made great achievements on Hebei Road. If he returns to Beijing this time, if he doesn't give

The reward he deserves is unjustifiable. As His Highness King Jing, it seems that only the Kaifeng Mansion can accommodate him. The more he behaves like this, the more the officials will be afraid of him. Moreover, if there are some unknown

The official who did the matter misunderstood the official's intention and kept posting it. I am afraid that it will not be a good thing for His Royal Highness King Jing. Your Highness, please tell me, Your Majesty would like someone who has a very high reputation in the army and now has a high reputation in the army.

A prince with a large number of supporters among the civil service?"

"Is it possible that the higher the praise, the harder the fall?" Zhao Jing said with infinite longing.

"It's very possible!"

Suddenly he thought of Xiao Ding again for no reason, and Zhao Jing became upset again: "This Xiao Ding is really a disaster. First, Zhang Kuo was removed from the post of pacifier by His Majesty for no reason, and now Zhang Chao and Huang Chun were

And Ma Yanshang, the commander of the Long Wei Army, apologized and resigned. Ziyu, tell me, when my father met with Xiao Ding, he first promoted him to the commander and then told him to stay in Bian first.

Liang, if you have another appointment next, will your father let Xiao Ding take over the Dragon Guard Army? Although Zhang Chao and Huang Chun failed in their mission this time, with their status, they will not collapse.

Ma Yan must take the blame."

"It is possible!" Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said: "If Xiao Ding is allowed to be the commander of the Dragon Guard Army, it will be a big trouble in the future. Regardless of whether or when the Dragon Guard Army will take turns to fight,

He will eventually return to Bianliang. Your Highness, you must find a way to kick him out of Bianliang."

"What can you do?" Zhao Jing said.

"Not only must we kick out Bianliang, we must also kick him out of Hebei!" Zhao Yuan said: "In this case, the possibility of him serving as the commander of the Dragon Guard Army is gone. Your Highness, you have people on Shaanxi Road, why not let these people

Recommend Xiao Ding to Ma Xing, the newly appointed pacifier of Shaanxi Road? Ma Xing is now bent on conquering Hengshan and getting rid of Ding's army. Xiao Ding is in the ascendant and a powerful general with a world-famous reputation, so Ma Xing must be very happy."

"What if Xiao Ding is allowed to make new achievements?"

"Your Highness, when the time comes, we will find a way to ask Xiao Ding to take Guang Ruijun with him. Haha, Guang Ruijun is a native of Hebei. He brought his family to Shaanxi all of a sudden. He must have resentment in his heart. Moreover, wherever he goes in Shaanxi, he will give

They caused some trouble. Xiao Ding, a military general, was afraid that he would be in a hurry and it would be too late to clean up the troubles. He still had time to fight! After he had handled these things properly, he was afraid that a year or two would have passed. Like this

If you leave him alone for a year or two, your Majesty may forget about him by then," Zhao Yuan said.
