Hearing Zhao Xiaole's name, the prince felt some confidence in his heart and immediately said: "Hurry up!"
Amidst the eunuch's shouts, Zhao Xiaole and Qin Sining walked in one after another and met the prince together.
No one else has come yet.
Both Qin Sining and Zhao Xiaole met with Li.
The prince nodded and asked them both to get up and sit on the stools that the eunuch brought to the side.
After the prince met Zhao Xiaole, he was somewhat embarrassed.
However, seeing that Zhao Xiaole had no intention of mentioning that incident, she decided to just pretend that it never happened.
Although she likes Zhao Xiaole very much.
But she knew that Zhao Xiaole was an eunuch.
Even if he was a normal man, it would be impossible for the two of them.
She will continue to pretend to be the prince.
This identity cannot be exposed.
Inexplicably, the prince sighed secretly in his heart.
Don't know why?
There was an inexplicable pain in my heart.
However, she didn't show it at all on her face, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaole."
"I have heard that you have done very well in the south, and the King of Minnan moved to Xunyang, which can be regarded as a worry for me."
Indeed, Zhao Xiaole was in the south and had everything settled.
Things in Chuzhou are basically relatively stable.
Now, the imperial court can fully respond to the situation in the north.
This is inseparable from Zhao Xiaole’s contribution.
Zhao Xiaole said seriously: "I just relied on some luck. It's all thanks to His Highness' great blessing."
The prince shook his head, "It's your credit, it's your credit. However, the current situation is more serious, and you still need to continue to work hard. After the war is over, will I grant you a big reward?"
Big? How big?
Zhao Xiaole thought of this and couldn't help but glance at the prince's chest, and the prince immediately noticed it.
Her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
The feeling of that first kiss came back again.
I boldly kept this sentence in my chest and was about to scold him, but just in time, the little eunuch outside the door came to the rescue in time.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, General Xing, General Feng, and Xin Rulong would like to see you!"
When the prince heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "Xuan!"
Soon, with the eunuch's fawning voice, four men walked into the East Palace hall one after another.
The leader was a man with a majestic face and rich robes.
He is none other than Emperor Jingyang’s brother, Prince Rui Zhao Heng!
Behind him, the dark-skinned man in armor was Xing Zhang, the president of the Beijing Army and the general of the auxiliary country. Next to him was the old silk man who could walk shoulder to shoulder with him, advancing and retreating together.
It is exactly a Xin Rulong with three elements and six aspects.
The last one is also a general wearing armor. His name is Feng Dachuan, and he is the president of Jiayuguan!
After the four people entered the main hall, they greeted the prince one after another.
Later, he also sat on the stool brought by the eunuchs.
After everyone took their seats, the prince said: "You have come from afar, and I think I have seen them before. These two are the prime minister and the prince of the country respectively."
The prince introduced the four of them.
However, when he heard the words "Zhenguohou", Xin Rulong snorted in dissatisfaction.
He has one sect, three virtues and six aspects.
In other words, from generation to generation, six people have been prime ministers in Jingyang, and three have been granted public titles.
Among the many gentry, he was considered the most prestigious.
Even Liu Bo, who was the prime minister at the time, dismounted his horse in advance and paid homage solemnly when passing by his house.
This shows that the Xin family has high prestige among many officials.
Even today, many officials in the imperial court are not from the Xin family, but they must be inextricably linked to the Xin family.
Either there are in-laws, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt are from the Xin family.
Or maybe I met my godfather at the Xin family or something.
In short, at Xin Rulong's age, many officials in the court were either his godsons or distant nephews.
And Zhao Xiaole had killed so many officials in the capital.
Many of them are related to Xin Rulong.
Of course Xin Rulong was unhappy when he heard Zhao Xiaole's name.
It's just that he didn't have an attack, but he kept a cold face and said nothing.
Seeing this, the prince also knew some of the reasons, so he said: "What we are discussing today is only military affairs, nothing else!"
"Everyone knows the current situation. The north has been trampled by East Vietnam, and the country has fallen into the hands of others."
"Even though I have no virtue, I still want to defend the territory for my ancestors. Now you can each have your own opinion on how to retreat the troops!"
"Those who can repel the barbarians will be rewarded heavily by this palace. Even if they are given the title of king, I will not begrudge you anything!"
After the prince said this, everyone was surprised.
He does not grudge the position of king and nobility.
What does this mean?
That is to say, once anyone can make a great contribution.
The prince is willing to be crowned king!
Everyone's breathing became heavy at first, and then gradually calmed down without making a sound.
Wang Jue is certainly good.
But, that’s only possible if you can get it.
The Dongyue people's cavalry is so powerful, and the north happens to be a plain area. Since the King of Zhenbei didn't stop the Dongyue people, what can we do?
Seeing that everyone was silent, the prince called out by name: "General Xing, you are the commander-in-chief of the 200,000-strong Beijing army. What are your opinions on expelling the East Vietnamese?"
Hearing this, Xing Zhang had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, the East Yue people are now at their peak and it is extremely difficult to resist them. The lower official's idea is that it is better to rely on Jiayuguan to resist for a year and a half, and the East Yue people will naturally retreat."
Having said this is like saying nothing.
The prince asked, how to withdraw the troops?
Xing Zhang replied, waiting for them to retreat on their own.
What does the horse rider want from you, the commander-in-chief?
The prince looked at Feng Dachuan again. He was the commander-in-chief of Jiayuguan. He might have a different view.
"General Feng, what do you think? If we rely on Jiayuguan, can we repel the East Vietnamese?"
Feng Dachuan groaned and said: "Your Highness, Jiayuguan Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is extremely difficult for the East Vietnamese to capture it!"
"But it is extremely difficult to repel the East Vietnamese. The number of our Jingyang cavalry is too small, and we are no match for the East Vietnamese."
"In my opinion, in addition to continuing to wait, I also need to persuade the King of Zhenbei. He has cavalry under his command that are capable of conquering and fighting. If we join forces with him, we will definitely be able to repel the East Vietnamese."
Joining forces with King Zhenbei is indeed a good idea.
However, is King Zhenbei willing to take action? Or when will he take action? There are still big questions in everyone's mind.
Zhao Xiaole even felt that if King Zhenbei was really seriously injured, the Dongyue people should eliminate him in advance.
Why has nothing happened between the two sides? Can the East Vietnamese go south with confidence?
Unless there is some ulterior deal between them.
However, he did not say anything, but planned to continue observing.
As Qin Sining said, today is different from the past. Once these heroes support their troops and stand on their own, there will be a situation where the heroes are divided.
In the current situation, the priority is to stabilize them.
