Emperor Lingzhou immediately summoned several close ministers to discuss countermeasures.
"Xiangya has surrendered to Lingzhou for so many years, but now he dares to provoke us because of a princess. What does Lingzhou have to fear?"
One minister had a look of disdain on his face and didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"When Lingzhou attacked Xiangya, which one was not easily defeated?"
The other adults didn't think so. They looked at Emperor Lingzhou with a dark look and swallowed what they wanted to say.
Emperor Lingzhou did not want to fight, but when he thought that Xiangya would suddenly start a rebellion, it was most likely Chu Xuanzhi who instigated it behind his back.
"This matter is inseparable from King Xuan, so King Xuan should be allowed to resolve this matter. Wasn't it the same in previous years?"
Someone said something that touched the heart of Emperor Lingzhou, and he immediately cast a look of admiration.
"Your Majesty, in the past King Xuan was known as the God of War and had a great reputation, so he was invincible in battles. But now, King Xuan is half-disabled and poisonous. He will not survive long at all."
The adult looked at Emperor Lingzhou cautiously when he spoke: "If the emperor lets King Xuan go to war, it would be easy to win. If he loses, I will worry about losing Lingzhou's face."
Several countries will soon come to pay homage to Lingzhou, and most of these people were beaten into submission by Chu Xuanzhi.
Once Lingzhou and Xiangya are defeated, other countries will definitely be ready to take action.
The smile on Emperor Lingzhou's face gradually faded.
"How can Mr. Wang enhance other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige?" The arguing adults squinted at Mr. Wang and did not agree with what he said, and added: "The loyal followers of King Xuan back then were all in Haozhou. Which one is not?
He is brave and good at fighting. As long as King Xuan gives the order, he will go all out. This battle can only be won but not defeated. Otherwise, King Xuan will be punished for neglecting his duty!"
This is a bit unreasonable.
But Emperor Lingzhou happened to have this intention as well, and nodded in approval.
So after preliminary agreement, the matter was brought up in the morning again.
Prime Minister Jiang glanced at Emperor Lingzhou, who was above him, confused, wondering what he meant.
But it wouldn't do him any harm, so he kept his acquiescence.
Emperor Lingzhou issued an edict and handed over the matter of training new soldiers to fight against Xiangya to Chu Xuanzhi.
"Pooh!"
Jiang Yunxu held a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and every word was full of yin and yang.
"So thick-skinned!"
She was so angry that she let a person with weak legs go to fight. What did she think?
My brain must have been caught in the door.
"When training new recruits, there is no mention of where the soldiers and horses come from, nor of food and grass. This is obviously a deliberate attempt to embarrass you!"
Yin Fengqi couldn't help but let Emperor Lingzhou do all the good things.
His prince is responsible for all the bad things.
In the past, as long as the emperor gave an order, the prince would go through life and death and fight. Everyone only knew the prince, the god of war, and a few people knew that the prince was covered in scars.
"Hiss!" Jiang Yunxu gasped.
Are there any such shameless people in this world?
Even the city walls are not as thick-skinned as Lingzhou Emperor.
Chu Xuanzhi had his own considerations, and said unhurriedly: "Recruit and train your own troops. Even our people are not all bad."
It is a good thing to recruit troops and train confidants openly.
"I'm going out in the next two days."
It's time to meet your former subordinates.
"Your Highness is going to meet Mr. Jiang in Liuzhou?" Yin Feng asked.
Chu Xuanzhi nodded. This man was a very smart man who was once his military advisor. After his leg was injured, all the subordinates around him were dismissed. Some left on their own, and some were demoted to the bitter cold.
land.
Some of them were won over by the Lingzhou Emperor. They were high-ranking officials with generous salaries, had no worries about food and clothing, and worked hard for the emperor.
Mr. Jiang is one of them.
"Master Jiang is now in charge of the operation of the coast and has several large warehouses. There must be grain in them, but will Master Jiang obey you?"
Yin Feng was suspicious.
Chu Xuanzhi smiled and said nothing.
The night was as dark as ink, and Chu Xuanzhi was wearing a long black robe, with a strong figure flowing into the black clothes and riding a horse.
I don't know how much time passed, but Chu Xuanzhi held the reins with one hand to rein in the horse's hoof, and raised his eyes to look at the majestic Jiang Mansion.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how much Mr. Jiang has embezzled!"
Yin Fengqi couldn't help but, in his eyes, Mr. Jiang had betrayed the prince.
Chu Xuanzhi didn't say anything, jumped up and searched around the eaves, and soon found the direction of the main courtyard.
The house was brightly lit, the door was open, and a man was sitting on a chair. There was a woman beside him who was talking to him, which made the man laugh from time to time, and his fingertips also touched the woman's pretty face.
Suddenly, two black figures fell from the sky.
"Ah! There is an assassin!" The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The man glanced at the two of them. After just one glance, he immediately waved his hand and slapped the woman: "What are you calling? Where is the assassin? Get out of here!"
The woman ran away with a look of horror on her face.
The man said to the guards who were attracted by the woman's cry: "Get back, no one can break in without my permission."
Reluctantly, the guards all retreated.
It was quiet all around.
The man suddenly knelt on the ground and held his hands in his hands: "We all welcome the prince."
Yin Feng raised his eyebrows, how did he recognize it?
Chu Xuanzhi stepped inside, then sat on a chair and looked at him with a smile: "Long time no see, Sir Jiang. How are you?"
Jiang Han smiled without hesitation: "Wei Chen has been waiting for this day for a long time, and finally the prince is here."
Chu Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows.
"Everyone feels that Wei Chen betrayed the prince and took refuge with the emperor. They don't understand Wei Chen, but Wei Chen knows that one day everyone will understand Wei Chen."
Jiang Han looked magnanimous.
If he had not taken refuge with Emperor Lingzhou back then, he would not be where he is today, and he would not be able to protect his family.
Moreover, Jiang Han had already reminded Chu Xuuzhi that he must not return to Beijing.
Otherwise, your life will be in danger.
It was a pity that Chu Xuanzhi still went back, but not long after, news came that his legs were disabled and his life was almost lost.
