As soon as Zhao Wenyu left, there was a silence in the Eastern Palace. The prince and Xiao Dezi looked a little bad.

"Your Highness, what do you think of the Emperor's will!"

After a while, He Yuansheng opened his mouth to break the silence, but his tone was a little cautious.

"The father issued an order, and I can only obey!"

The current prince never thought of resisting the authority of Emperor Yongchang. Even though he knew that this imperial edict would lose power and humiliate the country, he still agreed to this matter.

"Your Highness, have you not seen the trap in the will!"

"Commander He, you have something to say!"

Xiao Dezi spoke, and he also felt that this will was not right, but he just didn't understand the reason.

"On the surface, it was just a decree that was willing to marry and pay tribute in order to seek peace. However, the Dagan Dynasty had never happened in two hundred years since its establishment. If this condition was used to exchange for the Yuan Dynasty's withdrawal, what would the people in the world think!"

"hiss!"

Xiao Dezi took a deep breath, his face changed drastically, and he understood everything in his heart.

“Is there any problem here?”

The prince did not think of the meaning of it. He just thought that after fighting for so long, although he could not defeat the Yuan Dynasty's troops, he could still remain undefeated. It was a bit unworthy to exchange for the other party's retreat by marrying and tribute.

"Your Highness, you are the one who supervises the country now. This kind of marriage and tribute will be left behind. At that time, the people will be excited. The court will find someone to take responsibility. Have you forgotten that when you give up the place outside the pass, Shilin's reaction..."

Speaking of this, He Yuansheng stopped talking, and the prince understood and his face turned pale!

Because of the last incident, it caused quite a stir. If the dead old emperor had not taken the blame, there would have been a scapegoat.

After a long time, the prince asked with hope that he would be inadvertently, "Father, my father will not put the responsibility on me, right?"

"If you don't want your highness to take responsibility, why do you use secret orders and hide them from the court officials!"

He Yuansheng broke the prince's fantasy and then changed the subject and said: "When the Yuan soldiers retreat and the emperor will rebel against the capital, all the pressure will be borne by His Highness, and your throne will also be in the Emperor's thoughts!"

Emperor Yongchang's secret decree was definitely to shirk responsibility and let the prince take the blame, otherwise he would not have sent people back to Beijing without hiding the cabinet and presided over the peace talks.

As for whether the position of crown prince will be abolished, He Yuansheng couldn't say it, because the crown prince in front of him was still very filial, and Emperor Yongchang had not many descendants and had no special favorites, so he couldn't tell it.

However, with this imperial edict, he can help He Yuansheng achieve his goal, so he must be more serious. Only by giving the prince a rebellious heart can the current situation be resolved.

In fact, He Yuansheng didn't know that, although Emperor Yongchang did not think of abolishing the prince, he felt the threat. Because the Yuan soldiers went south and the prince guarded the capital and protected the territory and the people, he would undoubtedly have a great increase in prestige.

Moreover, He Yuansheng's resignation and a series of actions made Emperor Yongchang cautious and vigilant.

With the three main forces of the camp, they are now under the control of the prince. Emperor Yongchang, who is far away from the mountain, subconsciously wants to suppress it. Before Zhao Wenyu returns to the east, he secretly gives in and writes a secret decree.

"Your Highness, Commander He's words are not false. If you exchange the Yuan Dynasty for retreating troops at a huge price, your reserve position will be really within the emperor's thoughts!"

Xiao Dezi also agreed. He had lived in the palace for a long time and was well versed in the ways of power and strategy. He Yuansheng pointed out flaws and he could naturally react.

"The father has issued an order, what can I do?"

Emperor Yongchang had too much shadow on the crown prince, and he did not dare to resist at all, nor did he think about resisting.

"Your Highness, since it is a secret decree, you don't have to admit it. Let Zhao Wenyu do whatever he wants to do in peace!"

Xiao Dezi didn't want to do things according to his will, because the future was too great, and the crown prince's position would be unstable. It would be better to pretend not to know and shirk responsibility.

Anyway, it was not a formal order, and even if Emperor Yongchang was angry, he could not do it publicly.

"If you do this, can your father spare me?"

The prince was a little scared because Xiao Dezi said that Emperor Yongchang would take the blame by himself, and the prince would not take the blame.

Although this move is not accused of being accused of, it will make Emperor Yongchang angry and endanger his status.

"The emperor is dissatisfied, better than being criticized on his back. Anyway, your highness has already gained a lot of prestige in fighting the Yuan Dynasty. As long as you don't make mistakes, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he will be useless to deal with you!"

Xiao Dezi continued to persuade him, but he knew that the crown prince's throne was completely planned and did not come from Emperor Yongchang at all.

In addition, the Yuan Dynasty's troops went south, giving the prince the opportunity to control military power and cultivate prestige. Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with it and had no appropriate reason, he would have no tricks on the prince.

"this……"

The prince was a little hesitant. After all, he was in power for the first time, and even after some training, he did not have that great courage.

"Your Highness, you are worried about the emperor, but the emperor may not be able to come back in Shaanxi!"

At this time, He Yuansheng felt that it was almost done and decided to reveal some news.

This statement also changed the color of the prince, and Xiao Dezi also narrowed his eyes and had some thoughts.

"What does Commander He mean?"

Before the prince could speak, Xiao Dezi asked first, with a little expectation in his expression and a little nervous.

This situation made He Yuansheng feel nervous.

Seeing that the prince was not at all displeased, but instead became accustomed to it, I thought to myself that Xiao Dezi and the prince were so close that such a taboo did not cause dissatisfaction.

"The chaos in Shaanxi is getting worse and worse. Before entering the palace, I received news that the rebels had captured Tongguan and cut off the emperor's way back to the east!"

Although he felt a sense of urgency in his heart, now is the time to deal with external things, and He Yuansheng cannot take action against Xiao Dezi.

After all, many things need to be helped to persuade the prince, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

What's more, the other party is close to the prince, but he does not have real power, and he is not a big concern.

"Tongguan was occupied by the rebels, wasn't the emperor trapped in Shaanxi?"

Xiao Dezi was a little excited and subconsciously wanted to say something, but he was a little worried and did not speak.

"No, the emperor will not be able to come back in a short period of time!"

He Yuansheng gave a positive answer, paused, and added a few more words: "Tongguan is a natural danger, and one man is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Even if the court sends a large army to attack, it may not be able to take it down in a short period of time."

In fact, He Yuansheng has received this news for three days, but he has not considered what to do so, so he will not send it.

As for local officials, most of them are foolish and incompetent. Even if they notice something abnormal in Tongguan, they dare not verify it.

After all, the civil unrest in Shaanxi is too serious and the scope of the impact is very large. Some local officials are busy protecting themselves and cannot take care of too many things.

So the imperial court has not received any news of the fall of Tongguan. Of course, there are some reasons, because the imperial court's attention is all on the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty.

"The father is trapped in Chang'an!"

The prince's body became soft and he sat on the chair, looking a little lost and didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, He Yuansheng stopped talking, but communicated with Xiao Dezi with his eyes.

The same is true for Xiao Dezi. The expression on his face was very excited, and the ambition in his eyes was obvious at a glance.

Half an hour passed, and the prince recovered a little, and whispered to himself: "What should I do if my father is trapped, what should I do if I am alone..."

Although his voice was low, Xiao Dezi still heard it and immediately spoke, "Your Highness, now is your chance to take power."

He paused: "Only if you have the power, you can dominate your own destiny."

The prince revealed some intentions, but hesitated. After all, Emperor Yongchang was his father. Although he ignored him, he did not abuse him personally.

Children who lack love always want to get the care of their fathers, so the prince has a complicated mind for Emperor Yongchang.

"Your Highness, the emperor's secret decree is to take the blame. Even if you are willing to take responsibility for it without hesitation and are willing to take responsibility, the troops of the Yuan Dynasty have been blocked by us. If you exchange them for withdrawal at a huge price, will you be willing..."

Seeing that the prince was hesitant, Xiao Dezi continued to persuade him, and even gave He Yuansheng a wink, asking him to help persuade him.

However, He Yuansheng did not speak out. His relationship with the prince was not so close, so he naturally had to avoid being irritated later.

He Yuansheng didn't say anything, and Xiao Dezi could only persuade him alone. Fortunately, his words were very strong. In the end, the prince made up his mind: "For the sake of the people of the world, I can only disobey the will of my father!"

He Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Dezi also felt relieved. Then the three of them began to discuss how to control the government and control military power as soon as possible.

After this period of training, the prince was already familiar with the government affairs and had several teams, so he immediately chose some people, intending to arrange these people to the six ministries and several important departments.

As for the army, He Yuansheng is the main one, after all, the prince's strength in the army is very weak.

At this time, you cannot appoint your personal personalities at will, otherwise you will have nothing if you lose.

After the discussion was settled, Xiao Dezi suddenly thought of Zhao Wenyu and said, "Your Highness, Zhao Wenyu is a troublesome. Why not find a reason to imprison him!"

The prince was about to agree when he heard He Yuansheng's voice: "Eunuch De, Zhao Wenyu is of some use!"

The prince swallowed what he wanted to say, and Xiao Dezi also looked at He Yuansheng.

"The Yuan Dynasty soldiers were dragged here by us, and they were in a dilemma. Now the reinforcements are coming soon. I think they are likely to withdraw their troops. If Zhao Wenyu is used to hold the Yuan soldiers back for a while, they may find an opportunity to defeat them!"

He Yuansheng was absolutely unwilling to give up and let the Yuan Dynasty retreat smoothly. Now that reinforcements are coming, it is better to design something and strive for a big victory.

In this way, not only will the prince's prestige increase greatly, but it will also help him control the military power, and he can also regain some robbed people and property and reduce losses. It can be said that he will win three goals in one fell swoop.
