Listening to Yan Shisong's words, the newly appointed Minister of Personnel could not help but said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yan, now that the country is in trouble, even if you save money, you have to save military expenses."

Yan Shisong looked at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel Meng Yan and said with a grim look, "Mr. Meng, it's not that my official is unconscious, but now that Dafeng is asking for money everywhere, it's really impossible to save money."

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yan Shisong disdainfully, and took the lead by flattery. He had no ability at all. He was just a hand-off manager on weekdays. He didn't know how to use the financial expenditure and income of the Ministry of Revenue. How could he curry favor with the emperor?

"Ahem."

Wen Zhe coughed twice a sudden, interrupting everyone's argument, bowed and looked at Gao Zhen on the dragon chaise, "Your Majesty, you still have to decide this matter in person."

Ning Feng shook his head helplessly. Yan Shisong was really stupid this time. Although Gao Zhen was too centralized and led to nepotism, he was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart.

Now that the Northern Barbarians are heading south, as His Majesty, how could they know that the large army's expedition requires expensive military expenditures? But compared with the land security of Dingzhou, what is this little money?

Gao Zhen stood up hard and stared down at the ministers. When his eyes were fixed on Ning Feng and Ning Xiaochuan, he obviously paused a little. Finally, he looked at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, "The Northern Barbarians invaded the south, slaughtered me.

The people will harm our country. If our Dafeng army cannot protect the people and protect the country and the country, then there will be face to stay in the world, Liu Wei."

Liu Wei, the Minister of War, took a step forward and bowed, "The old minister is here."

"In the name of the Ministry of War, General Qin Feng led his army north to Pinglao Pass to assist King Jingbei to fight against the barbarians. You must block the Northern Barbarians outside Pinglao Pass and must not let them take a step into the closing gate." Gao Zhen scolded sternly and shouted.

.

"Old minister obeys the order." Liu Wei glanced at Yan Shisong and retreated aside.

"There is one more thing..." After saying that, Gao Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the minister below, slowly reached out and grabbed the prince's hand next to him, and kept rubbing it. In Gao Yuan's eyes, at this moment,

Gao Zhen changed his usual life and seemed to be no longer an emperor, but an old father who loved his son.

The ministers bowed at the same time, waiting for the emperor to issue orders, and Han Zhongxuan, who knew everything in advance, silently turned his back and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

"I am determined to lead the imperial army in person and lead 500 imperial guards to go north with General Qin Feng to meet the enemy, and strengthen our country's prestige."

Gao Zhen's ordinary words instantly exploded in the court, and the ministers below knelt down and wailed, hoping that Gao Zhen would take his life back.

Wen Zhe leaned over slightly, his face extremely serious, "Your Majesty, the king is not under the dangerous wall. Now Dafeng's country is rich and the people are strong. General Qin Feng is even more of my Dafeng's ever-winning general. If he commands the army north, he will definitely be punished.

The evil spirits will bring peace to my north; my ministers think that your Majesty can sit firmly in the central hall, and there is no need to go north to supervise the army. My Great Fengtian Army will win."

Xue Xun, the Minister of Justice, also said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's words are reasonable. You are now the magnificent and a wealthy man. How can you easily take risks? As for the matter of the military commander, the old minister can still do it for you."

Similar words emerge in endlessly. Even the prince Gao Yuan next to him bowed down, hoping that his father would think twice, "Father, there are many government affairs in the court. If you go to the northern border, what's the matter with the court? If you consider the royal identity, then the minister will be

You can also go north to supervise the army."

The rain continued outside the window, and a bell came faintly.

Gao Zhen smiled indifferently, looked at the ministers, and tried his best to stand up. Because he tried too hard, the blue veins on his neck burst out. "I have decided on this personal expedition, so I cannot discuss it anymore. After I leave, I will be in charge of the prince.

When the country sees the crown prince, it is like seeing me, and no one can be rude."

"Your Majesty..." The ministers below shouted in mercy, and Yan Shisong was even more excited and burst into tears.

Ning Xiaochuan was about to speak, but was stopped by Ning Feng. Then he looked at Ning Feng bowing, and Ning Xiaochuan bowed his head as well.

"Okay, that's all for today. During the period when the prince was in charge of the country, I hope that all my dear ministers can spare no effort and help each other. If anyone tolerate or negligent affairs, I will definitely behead you."

Gao Zhen said sternly, to put it bluntly, he was helping the prince establish his authority. Although the officials below were respectful to him, there were inevitably people who were dissatisfied with him when the prince was young. Before the prince established his team, he still needed this father to suppress him.

Pressure.

"We are obeying the emperor's orders." The ministers kowtowed and said.

After the ministers made their statements, Gao Zhen sat on the dragon throne with satisfaction, but at this time his back was already soaked with sweat. After the ministers retreated, Gao Zhen waved Han Zhongxuan to retreat, indicating that he had something to say to the prince

explain.

After everyone retreated, Gao Zhen and Gao Yuan and his son were left in the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony. This was the first time that the father and son sat together and talked so calmly. Gao Yuan pulled his father and sweated.

The palm of his hand also had some understanding of his father's condition, and he couldn't help but burst into tears for a moment.

Gao Zhen reached out and touched Gao Yuan's head, just like when he was a child, "Yuan'er, would you blame me for letting you supervise the country without discussing with you?"

"My son dare not." Gao Yuan held back his tears and bowed his hands.

Gao Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I want to wait a few more years, wait until I solve all the troubles, and wait until you are full, so that I can be worthy of the ancestors in the ancestral hall. However, my body cannot wait..."

This was the first time Gao Zhen raised his body in front of Gao Yuan. As soon as he said this, Gao Yuan burst into tears and lay on Gao Zhen's legs and cried bitterly.

"Before I leave, I would like to remind you three things. Doing these three things will definitely ensure that you have no worries about the throne. Your strength is still not enough to compete with the Qin family now.

After I leave Yindu, the Qin family will definitely use your influence to cultivate their own power and achieve the goal of being powerful in the government and the people. Therefore, I will take your uncle away. You must make good use of this period to promote some capable and loyal people.

Minister, if the Qin family is in a dilemma, you can properly use the Ning family to achieve the purpose of checking and balance.

I also know that you have always been worried about attacking the Ning family with me. Now I don’t know. The fifth brother of the Ning family is a talent. If you can use it, use it. If you can’t use it, kill it. Do not be indecisive. Those who are the king will have great compassion and compassion.

In addition, you need to have a heart of iron." Gao Zhen said with red eyes.

Gao Yuan nodded while crying, "Yes, I remember it."

"Second, military power, no matter what, military power cannot be left behind. According to my great law, if you ascend the throne, your two younger brothers will be granted the title of King of the same surname. When you are granted the title of King, you must not let your second brother go to Suzhou, where is the Gongsun Family

If he returns to his territory, the Gongsun family will definitely not be content with oneself.

As for your third brother, I owe him a lot. You, the eldest brother, cannot treat him badly. Give him a wealthy place, let him go." Gao Zhen shed tears as he said, perhaps because he thought of himself.

I may not be able to come back as soon as I leave, so after saying every sentence, I feel inexplicably distressed.

"Third, Yan Shisong and Xue Xun should not be kept. These two people are mediocre and cannot be used, especially Yan Shisong. If you want to establish your authority, you can start with these two people.

As for Prime Minister Wen Zhe, if you have a suitable candidate, you must change it as soon as possible. This person is like a wolf in the mountains, lying dormant for a long time without asking. Once you have many actions, it will definitely shake the sky and the earth. When I am there, I can still intimidate it.

If I leave, if you cannot let him obey, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid raising a tiger." Gao Zhen said while gently patting Gao Yuan's back of his hand, which shows his kind father's heart.

Gao Yuan had already cried and nodded, unable to say a word.

The sky clears, and the sunset passes through the window and reflects on the main hall, just reflecting a dragon pattern on the pavilion of the Taihe Palace. Gao Zhen murmured, "The Central Palace is the last trump card I left for you, and I can use it forever.

”

After saying this, Gao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was because he had not spoken for a long time. He said so much at once, which made the elderly old emperor particularly tired.

...

After coming out of the palace, Ning Feng and Ning Xiaochuan frowned. The carriage that was escorting the two was stopped by Ning Feng when they were halfway through. The two brothers walked off the carriage. As they walked, Ning Xiaochuan couldn't hold it in.

, asked curiously, "Second brother, what does this Majesty suddenly commanded the army in person? Is it not worrying that General Qin Feng is unable to beat him?"

"This matter is indeed a bit beyond my expectations. By the way, have you noticed the physical condition of Your Majesty during this period?" Ning Feng stopped and said.

Ning Xiaochuan recalled carefully, and I have to say that it was indeed a bit strange. The morning court was presided over by Gao Yuan, and he was rarely seen, "Second brother, what do you mean is Your Majesty..."

Ning Feng interrupted Ning Xiaochuan and looked around, "No more words, let's go back first. I'll write a letter to my elder brother and discuss with me."

After saying that, the two brothers walked towards Ning Mansion.

...

A corner of the palace.

An old imperial doctor spitting blood on his mouth and curled up in the corner of the wall, even his front teeth were knocked off. In front of him was a woman in white gauze masked clothes. The woman grabbed the old imperial doctor.

The collar said viciously, "I will tell the truth or not, I will kill you."

The old imperial doctor looked at the snake and scorpion woman in front of him with trembling body, nodding effortlessly, "Say, I said..."

The woman then let go of the old imperial doctor. The old imperial doctor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is suffering from a terminal illness and has not been able to last for three months."

The woman heard this and frowned and grabbed the old imperial doctor's collar again, "Is this serious?"

"Really, really, heroine, please let me go. My old bones can't stand the tossing." The old imperial doctor shouted in disobedience, bursting into tears.

The woman stood up, threw away the old imperial doctor, looked around, and took advantage of the old imperial doctor's arrival, a true energy passed by, and a blood stain slowly flowed out from the old imperial doctor's neck. Before the old imperial doctor could send it out

With a sound, he fell straight into the garden, and the bodies separated.

The woman looked around and after confirming that she had not found it, she began to skillfully deal with the old imperial doctor's body.

For the huge palace, it is too common to die alone.
