Xue Poye was a little embarrassed, and the little emperor was a little angry. Seeing that Song Fei blamed his master in front of the ministers, it was difficult, but Lan Wuqing had already said: "Mr. Song, when the royal family rebelled that day, and when the Yulin civil strife, Mr. Xue entered the city alone to quell the Yulin civil strife, coordinated the Yulin three camps, guarded the imperial city, and used thousands of Yulin's power to block the offensive of tens of thousands of rebels, and waited for the reinforcements of the late emperor. You should not forget this matter?"

That incident was also the famous work of Xue Poye. All officials in Kyoto knew about it, so Song Fei naturally knew it very well.

"Marty Xue is brave and resourceful, why do you admire the subordinates?" Song Fei said with his neck straight: "But... but the Prime Minister also knows that the two armies are facing each other, and hundreds of thousands of troops are intertwined, which is not comparable to the tens of thousands of royal rebels. Moreover, the battlefield changes rapidly. Without the experience of the old Taoist on the battlefield, it is really difficult to deal with that situation. The old minister requested to go to war, not to be greedy for merit, but to consider the country and be loyal to the emperor!"

Lan Wuqing said seriously, "Lord Song is commendable, and this is indisputable." After a pause, he said respectfully to the little emperor: "Master, the biggest problem facing my great Chu army is how to coordinate Yin and Yang and condense the soldiers of each state into a powerful combat power. In this regard, Mr. Xue, who once coordinated the three battalions of Yulin, could take this position. On that day, the royal rebellion, and Mr. Xue faced it calmly, which was also a model for generals. Now, hundreds of thousands of troops in our great Chu army only need to gather together. The northwest rebels will be unable to resist." He glanced at Song Fei and said slowly: "Of course, if you lead the army to fight, you must march and set up formations, and you must not experience the old generals. I think Mr. Song can take this position, and take Mr. Xue as the chief and Lord Song as the deputy, and work together to quell the northwest rebellion!"

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, and many ministers were also stunned.

Looking at the current situation, the relationship between Mr. Xue and Song Fei is obviously a bit stiff, and on the battlefield, the most taboo thing is the discord between the generals. Today, the prime minister not only wants to hand over the power of the general to Xue Poye, but also requires two generals who have already had a rift to go to war together... Is the old prime minister so confused?

Song Fei was also a little surprised. He was about to say something, but the little emperor who knew Lan Wuqing had a deep meaning had already waved his hand and said, "No need to say it. I issued an order. From now on, the Privy Council will issue a transfer order to mobilize... 200,000 troops from each state gathered in Taizhou, and the Ministry of War was equipped with equipment, food and grass, and fire was transported to Taizhou. As for the commander-in-chief, Xue Poye was appointed. Song Fei was appointed as the deputy commander and set off on his way to Taizhou. Once there is a change in the northwest, he immediately led his army to the northwest to quell the rebellion!"

The emperor had already spoken, and with the support of the prime minister, Xue Poye's gangsters in the court were very powerful, so as soon as the young emperor's words fell, the ministers consciously knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Only Song Fei, with annoyed look on his face, glared at Xue Poye fiercely and kowtowed to thank him.

...

...

In Taihe Palace, Xue Poye and Lan Wuqing sat on both sides of the little emperor, one left and one right.

"Prime Minister, I... I really don't understand what you mean. You are...what are you doing?" Xue Poye smiled bitterly: "I really know nothing about marching and fighting."

"In addition to Song Fei, there are also Yang Yijun and Liu Xiao. These two people were selected from local military generals by me. They are very proficient in marching and formation. If the Marquis is not clear, they will mention them, and there is no need to worry about this afterwards." Lan Wuqing looked solemn and said calmly: "The Marquis should pay attention to it. As I said, it is to coordinate yin and yang and condense the soldiers of various states together. The Marquis may not know something, the army gathered this time has been gathered. , was preparing to select from the twenty-three states of Great Chu, all of which were the most elite soldiers in each state, from the north and south of Great Chu. Although the southerners and northerners belonged to the people of Great Chu, their temperaments and lifestyles were very different. They were not easy to get along with each other because of their geographical relationship. It was a big difficult task to make them unite. If a war broke out and our army could not unite, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Xue Poye sighed: "Since Song Fei has led his army to fight, this matter of coordinating yin and yang should not be a problem?"

"Song Fei has a bad temper and may not be able to handle this matter well." Lan Wuqing said slowly: "But the old minister recommended the marquis to lead the troops to the war, but he had other considerations. Does the marquis not understand the old minister's thoughts?"

Xue Poye shook his head: "The lower official is ignorant, and I really don't understand the meaning of it for a while."

Although Lan Wuqing was old, his eyes were filled with this wise light. He looked at the only little emperor, Xue Poye and himself, and then said calmly: "The old minister doesn't want to have an accident. This time, the most important thing for the candidate for the general is only one word, that is 'loyalty'. When it comes to loyalty, the emperor should belong to him."

This made Xue Poye feel very comfortable and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is keen to recognize people, and admires them." After a pause, he realized the profound meaning of the words, and asked softly: "Major's meaning is that Song Fei is not reliable?"

Lan Wuqing shook his head and said, "Song Fei is a straightforward and rude person, but if he is unfaithful to the court, he is wrong. Over the years, he can be considered loyal."

"Then... why is the Prime Minister..." Xue Poye said strangely.

Lan Wuqing said seriously, "The old minister is guarding, that's the case." He paused and sighed, "Actually, my Chu Dynasty has valued literati far more than military men over the years. A secret saying circulated in secret is called 'General without guns, and the deputy general without horses'. Although it is a bit presumptuous, except for the Beizhen Army, the warriors have indeed been in a state of inaction over the years. If the Yulin Guard and the three former garrison camps were not guarded, they would probably be respected... On the contrary, on the territory of the Mingyue King of Northwest, the identity of the warriors is extremely noble. They believe in force. Whoever has the ability will be respected by everyone and will enjoy the most luxurious life. This is true. In everyone's opinion, the northwest is where the warriors can raise their heads."

The little emperor and Xue Poye listened carefully, exchanging strange eyes.

Xue Poye quickly thought of the so-called "one country, two systems". Although Yongzhou is in the territory of Great Chu, its system and environment are completely different from other places.

"It is precisely because of this that the northwest is attractive to the warriors." Lan Wuqing looked solemn: "If the King of Mingyue sent a lobbyist to secretly lobby Song Fei, I cannot guarantee that he will not change his qualities. When the late emperor was there, he did not have too much favor to Song Fei, and the lobbyists under the King of Mingyue were extremely powerful. If there was a situation that I didn't want to see, then the Great Chu State would be in danger."

Xue Poye seemed to understand and said, "The Prime Minister was worried that Song Fei would be lobbying successfully, so he recommended me to command the troops in the court?"

Lan Wuqing said slowly: "The relationship between the Marquis and the Emperor must be loyal. If Marquis Xue is in charge of military power, there will be no big accident. However, the old minister said that the Marquis has the ability to coordinate yin and yang, and hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the Great Chu, they really need a smart and capable general to unite them. As long as our Great Chu Xiong Army, as long as we work together, the Yongzhou rebels can fight, they will never be able to defeat us."

Xue Poye stood up and bowed to the little emperor, then bowed deeply to Lan Wuqing, and said sincerely: "The Prime Minister is dedicated to the country, and Poye swears to serve the emperor to the death and serve the Great Chu. If the rebellion cannot be quelled, come and see you!"

Lan Wuqing stood up and bowed to Xue Poye, sighing: "Marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, different from other things, the marquis is careful about everything. As for Song Fei, Yang Yijun and Liu Xiao, they belong to three different factions and will not be connected. The marquis can even use the three to restrain each other... However, these three people are really talented in marquis and wars. If the marquis is good at using them, they will be invincible and invincible. As for the rear of the court, the rear will be assured. The old minister will also assist the emperor in protecting the safety of the rear, so the marquis do not have to worry about the rear."

Xue Poye knew that Lan Wuqing was giving him a reassurance, and he was even more moved and gave him a deep gift.

...

...

While the emperor and ministers of Taihe Palace were discussing major events, the eldest princess was in a small pavilion in the garden of Hengxiang Palace where she lived. This pavilion was located in the plum blossom forest. As the wind floated gently, the inside and outside of the pavilion was filled with the strong fragrance of flowers.

The eldest princess was holding a snow-white kitten in her arms and gently stroked its soft fur. The cat seemed to enjoy it very much, lying quietly in her arms, looking very quiet.

No one dared to enter and exit this garden except the eldest princess.

In addition to the eldest princess and the kitten, there was also a strange man standing quietly opposite the pavilion. He was wearing a wide black robe and his shape was extremely strange. Even the mask was an extremely strange shape. The whole person looked like a huge...bat!

This bat man appeared in Liuheyuan and even saved Liu Jin from Jia Dao. Although Liu Jin died, his strange body movements are unforgettable.

The pavilion seemed very quiet, and neither of them spoke.

A gust of wind blew, and another rich fragrance of flowers was swaying.

"Men..." The eldest princess sighed faintly, with a little sad expression: "Why can't we live a good life in peace?" She raised her head, her beautiful face with a faint smile, and her beautiful eyes stared at the batman with a wave of beauty, and said quietly: "You said, can I be considered a beauty?"

The batman's body shook, and the exposed lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The eldest princess sighed, shook her head, and said softly: "It seems that I am really not a beauty anymore. No wonder, no wonder he would do that."

The batman's hoarse voice finally said: "Princess, you...you are the most beautiful...the most beautiful woman in the world..." His throat seemed a little dry, and his voice was trembling.

The eldest princess had a sad and bitter smile on her face: "Really? Do you really feel that way?"

The Batman nodded vigorously: "Yes, princess, in my heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world... No one can compare with you..."

The eldest princess shook her head and interrupted the Batman: "Then why did he do that? Am I not enough to calm him down...Isn't he afraid that I will be sad?"

The Batman sighed and shook his head, "Maybe, he has other ideas."

The eldest princess frowned, and although her voice was soft, the coldness in her bones was also revealed: "He is still with the bitch?"

"yes!"

"Last time you said, was he letting Mingyue go?"

"Yes." The bat said slowly: "Although he immediately ordered his servants to deal with the carriage after seeing Mingyue off, the nails placed inside had been checked before the carriage was burned, and there was indeed a gap under the seat that could accommodate a person."

The eldest princess sneered, "For that bitch, he really dared to do anything. I really underestimated him before." She glanced at the Batman and asked softly, "What do they want to do next?"

The bat said calmly: "Recently, Lan Wuqing and Xue Poye have focused on the northwest. She has quietly inserted many new eunuchs and palace maids into the palace. It seems that after Xue Poye and the others left, they began to take action."

"That bitch is really calm." The eldest princess stroked the white cat's hair and sighed softly.

Batman said: "They have never taken action. First, Xue Poye is still there, and the military power in Kyoto is still in Xue Poye's hands. They dare not act rashly. Second, they have more sinister plans."

“What plan?”

"They may have guessed that once the northwest mutiny changes, Xue Poye is likely to go to the northwest battlefield. Maybe he is not the commander, but the emperor must have a confidant in the northwest supervision army. Xue Poye is undoubtedly the most trusted person and the most suitable person. At the court meeting that just dispersed, the emperor had issued an order to go to the battle with Xue Poye as the commander of the Northern Expedition Army. In other words, their guesses became a reality, and in their opinion, opportunities also arise."

"What are the benefits for them when Xue Poye leaves Kyoto?" asked the eldest princess lightly.

The batman's voice was very slow: "After Xue Poye left the capital, the military power of the Yulin Camp, the four admiral's palace and the garrison army will appear temporarily. No one can hold the military power of these three yamen in their hands in a short period of time. In this way, there will be no joint force. Han Min has the identity of the empress dowager. If she wants to use the power among them, it will be easy to achieve her goal. At least the four admiral Hou Jingzong has shown signs that she is her person."

"You keep talking!"

"As soon as Kyoto is in chaos, she has the opportunity to take advantage of it, and she can even use frame-up methods to transfer their conspiracy to other forces." The Batman's voice was solemn: "At that time, Xue Poye led the Northern Expedition Army to fight in the northwest. Once Han Min and his conspiracy succeeded, the news of the murder of the emperor reached the front line, the morale of the Northern Expedition Army would be greatly reduced, and it is very likely that they were defeated by the Northwest Army. In this way, Han Min's ultimate goal will be achieved."

"It's really cruel." The eldest princess sighed: "Is this called being in the inside and outside? Unfortunately, the two men were played with by her and applauded without knowing it. Men..."

Her beautiful face showed a slight sense of fatigue.

After a moment of silence in the pavilion, the eldest princess said quietly: "You are the leader of Guigu, and I will leave the safety of the emperor to you."

The Batman said solemnly: "I will be loyal to the Lord to the death." He paused and asked, "What should Han Min and the others do?"

The eldest princess pondered slightly before sighing: "The fox always reveals her tail. After all, she is the queen mother. There is no conclusive evidence. Don't act rashly... You can protect the emperor well. When they show their true colors, I have my own solutions."

"Yes." The Batman replied: "Will you continue to follow the prince consort?"

The eldest princess smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, he is just a tool in Han Min's hand. When he wakes up... it's too late. I'm tired, you go down first."

The Batman was silent for a moment, stared at the eldest princess, and was stunned for a moment, and finally retreated.

The eldest princess looked at the figure of the batman and showed a faint smile, murmured: "Your heart, I know, but... it's impossible for us after all...!"

...

...

Two days later, Xue Poye, on behalf of the little emperor, officially went to the general's mansion to propose marriage and prepared a generous gift.

The marriage between the emperor and the General's Mansion had obvious political purpose, but by heart, the people in the General's Mansion were still satisfied with this marriage.

Not to mention the identity of the little emperor, just the intelligence and wisdom of the little emperor and his age similar to Ren Xue can be regarded as a real handsome man.

Although the young emperor was still young, his imperial power in the court became increasingly powerful, and his handling of political affairs gradually moved from being unfamiliar to becoming mature. What is more important is that although the young emperor is still dealing with the affairs of the court with the assistance of his ministers, sometimes he often expresses his views on the political situation in the court, which often makes the ministers look forward to the future of the emperor.

Everyone hopes that the emperor is a wise ruler and a talented emperor.

The little emperor's words and deeds are just to move towards a wise ruler.

After deciding on this marriage, the Imperial Heaven Supervision will choose a good day and prepare for a wedding in two months.

According to the rules of the Great Chu, when the general goes to war, the emperor must worship the general at the altar and give the military talisman. The day of worship is set to be three days later.

The troops of each state were transferred from the Privy Council and began to gather in Taizhou. The information obtained from the northwest was that King Mingyue had returned to Yongzhou, and the Northwest Army began to reorganize the army and prepare for war.

As for the rumors spreading in various states, although they were not controlled, they did not spread too violently. Although some riots occurred in several states, the officials of various states still handled them in a gentle manner according to the court's instructions, but the leading guys secretly hunted and killed them.

The court also selected several eloquent officials to Hangzhou, Hedong, Xichuan, Bai Gechenyin, Li Shao and Qiuying, and persuaded them to come forward to preside over the battle of right and wrong.

Xue Poye naturally wrote a letter in person, and the content of the letter directly explained the interests of the literati, indicating that once the Mingyue King gained power, the literati's life would be difficult, so he sent someone to Hangzhou.

Of course, considering that there may be a long time to work with Song Fei in the Northern Expedition Army, Xue Poye even put down his head and went to Song Fei's mansion to visit him in person.

Although Song Fei was unwilling to be the head coach, Xue Poye came to him personally, which gave him great face, so his resentment calmed down a little.

However, Xue Poye could feel that the gap between the two could not be cleared overnight.dd
