Even though Xing Zhang's deputy commander was right in front of him, the prince still found it unbelievable.
Or, it is difficult to accept this fact.
But this is true.
You can also put it another way, that is, even if it is fake, the prince has to be on guard.
Since ancient times, emperors have always held military power firmly in their hands, right?
If the military power is not in your own hands.
He is the false emperor.
You have to listen to other people's wishes in everything.
As for Xing Zhang, King Zhenbei, and even Prince Yu Rui and Xin Rulong, they were all extremely honest during the period when there was no war.
They were afraid that the imperial court would issue a decree and punish their crimes.
At that time, they didn't even dare to resist.
To be precise, you can also resist.
However, that kind of resistance is meaningless.
Because people's hearts are stable.
Now, the world is in chaos, they have capital, and they have this opportunity.
And the change in this is that the people's hearts are confused and their hearts have also changed.
They will feel that if they have such doubts in their lives, will Jingyang continue to exist?
Will it also perish like other dynasties?
It is precisely because of this idea.
Careerists fueled the war to help them confirm this idea.
As long as chaos is created, the people hope to settle down as soon as possible, and this becomes the capital for the separatist forces.
The people don't want a war.
Who can bring stability to the people, even if it is only temporary stability, the people will be willing to accept it.
They can't see the long term,
After all, war is too cruel.
No one wants to face it.
There are too many tragedies in which wives and children are separated and families are destroyed.
The result is that more and more people are separatist.
The world is becoming more and more chaotic.
Because they all claim that they are the destined emperor and that they can bring the long-lost peace to the people.
No matter whether people believe it or not.
They all have to accept it.
In other words, they have to accept it, and only time will prove everything.
The price of proof is to allow troubled times to continue for a certain historical period.
Now, Jingyang is facing a historical juncture on this issue.
If handled well, the dynasty can continue.
If it is not handled well, then China will turn into a war-torn land or a pasture for the East Vietnamese.
Lives were reduced to ashes, and blood flowed into rivers.
The prince suddenly felt that she had no strength, and she slowly sat down on the chair.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaole stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, we have to take precautions, and since Xing Zhang has a disobedient heart, I am willing to punish him on behalf of Your Highness!"
Zhao Xiaole said confidently and in an affirmative tone.
It seems that Xing Zhang is just a kid.
Removing his head is as easy as picking something out of a bag.
And his attitude almost affected the prince.
The prince sighed, his eyes gradually became firmer, he looked at Zhao Xiaole and said, "Xiaole, you are right."
"No matter whether the other party has this kind of intention or not, we have to guard against it."
"Next, let's discuss countermeasures!"
"yes!"
Zhao Xiaole replied.
Not long after, Qin Sining and Li Lin, as well as Liang Dajiang, the Minister of Justice, all rushed over.
These are the same people.
It's still them.
Although other officials have also been promoted accordingly, on this occasion, the prince can still trust them.
After they arrived, the prince told everyone everything Zhao Xiaole had said before.
Naturally, everyone couldn't believe it.
However, Xing Zhang's deputy commander had already rebelled and was standing in the main hall of the East Palace. They couldn't help but not believe it.
Then, the prince said: "Now, I appoint the Marquis of Zhen Guo as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, in charge of all military affairs!"
"In time of war, everyone must obey his orders."
This title is what Zhao Xiaole wants.
With the title, he can do whatever he wants.
And this appointment shocked several people again.
Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, this is an official position that is only set up by the imperial court during times of war!
It means that he has total control over all military power in the world.
Even the emperor must obey his orders and make arrangements.
However, everyone took it for granted.
Now, Heng Hou is still in Chuzhou. Except for Zhao Xiaole, several others have too little battlefield experience.
Although Li Lin was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was only a civil official.
He is not a marshal who leads troops to fight.
However, everyone still hesitated after hearing this.
Qin Sining was worried about Zhao Xiaole and worried that his great achievements would overwhelm the master, while Li Lin and Liang Dajiang had some doubts.
The prince naturally noticed it and said, "Master Li, if you have any doubts, you can just ask."
Li Lin glanced at the adjutant, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness, although someone snitched on you."
"But isn't this a little too arbitrary?"
"If Xing Zhang is really hesitant and indecisive, then if we press too hard, might it be self-defeating and force him to rebel?"
After all, we have too few soldiers.
With only 10,000 people, fighting against an opponent with 200,000 people is definitely looking for death!
The prince also understood what he meant.
It was Zhao Xiaole who answered, and Zhao Xiaole said: "I have discussed this issue with the prince just now."
"Which side Xing Zhang will choose, you only need to look at his position to know."
Li Lin and Liang Dajiang were puzzled.
Zhao Xiaole explained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I have sent agents to monitor Xing Zhang. If his army leaves the station, it will be a rebellion!"
"If we continue to stay at the station and help the Dongyue people resist Jiayuguan, then everyone will naturally be happy."
"However, this does not affect our preparations in advance."
In other words, once Xing Zhang's army sets off after the arrival of King Zhenbei, it can be understood that he has made a choice.
Liang Dajiang and Li Lin sighed.
There is nothing wrong with Zhao Xiaole's analysis.
Now it seems that this is the only way.
Zhao Xiaole glanced at the prince, saw her nodding, and said: "Okay, I will assign the task now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sining and others immediately looked at him solemnly.
Now the life and death of everyone is involved.
It's impossible not to be energetic.
Zhao Xiaole ordered: "Li Lin, continue to be in charge of the city guard and strictly check the people entering and exiting. If you get the order from me, you will directly seal the city gate to resist the enemy's attack!"
Li Lin flicked his sleeves and stepped out to take orders.
Then, Zhao Xiaole looked at Liang Dajiang again, "Liang Dajiang, when things have reached this point, the black-armored guards of the West Factory will cooperate with you to manage the order of the capital."
"No matter who violates discipline, they will be arrested. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Liang Dajiang flicked his sleeves and went out to take orders.
Finally, Zhao Xiaole looked at Qin Sining and said, "I'll leave all the logistics to you. Thank you for your hard work!"
When Qin Sining heard this, he also flicked his sleeves and went out to take orders.
After Zhao Xiaole finished the assignment, he sat aside, closed his eyes and said, "The King of Zhenbei is almost at Jiayuguan."
"If the expert discovers anything unusual about Xing Zhang, information will come back immediately."
Everyone was silent after hearing this, and then at the prince's signal, they also sat down and waited for the first information.
