Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 207 The second prince should also go to the border to gain experience.

In Murong Jiu's previous life, although the news that the Xiongnu had secret weapons was reported back to the capital very early, people did not take it seriously.

Just based on imagination, who could have known that "Fire Thunder" would have such terrifying power?

Although the "Fire Thunder" sounds like a small name, it is actually like a explosive bag. It can be lit with a fire stick and thrown into the enemy crowd. It will instantly kill or injure more than half of the people, and everyone will be blown to pieces.

The Xiongnu possesses the "fire thunder" killing weapon, which can be said to be invincible, and they also deliberately conceal it. When the fire thunder is used, no one will be left alive.

So Dayan could only hear the sound of the explosion, but could not imagine how terrifying the explosion would be.

When the news reached the capital, people were even more indifferent. People were only angry that the soldiers at the border were incompetent and lost one city after another. News of the defeat would be sent back within a few days.

But after Murong Jiu told Jun Yuyan about the power of "Fire Thunder", he made many arrangements that day. Not only did he send a message to General Fu, but he also ordered people to secretly spread the news in the capital that the Huns had secret weapons.

As people discuss more and more, it is revealed how terrible the Huns' weapons are and how many lives an explosion can take away.

The power of public opinion among the people is powerful. In recent days, the teahouse has been crowded with people talking about Huns weapons.

Some people say that if the Xiongnu were allowed to sweep away like this, the Central Plains would be bulldozed sooner or later, and even the capital would not be spared.

You know, less than a month has passed since the war started, and six cities in Hexi have already been lost, with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing. At this rate, one day it will affect the capital.

As soon as such remarks came out, everyone was immediately in danger.

What's more, the price of food in the capital has already risen. It's not winter yet. When winter comes, the price of food will only be higher. Now that there is a war, food and grass must be given priority to the border soldiers. The price of food will rise several times by then. Fan.

even……

If the war never ends, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, and the people will suffer from famine.

The people in the capital became increasingly panicked, and officials also heard about it.

This morning, the reason why some officials proposed to cede territory and seek peace was for this reason.

Some officials did not speak, but they agreed with this person's words in their hearts. The Xiongnu's secret weapon was so powerful. No matter how many soldiers Dayan had, they would still be beaten into a pulp. How could flesh and blood be able to withstand the terrifying force? Fire thunder?

However, no one in the morning court expected that King Ling would suddenly speak and request for an expedition.

You know, after the capital knew that the Huns had secret weapons, many military attachés did not dare to go to the battlefield, fearing that they would never return.

The emperor was also surprised.

But he was very pleased. He did not agree to cede territory and seek peace. Dayan had fought too many victorious battles in recent years and occupied other countries' lands. If he had ceded territory to seek peace while he was in power, he would definitely be infamy.

If the emperor cares about his reputation, he will never cede territory to seek peace.

Jun Yuyan stood up just right and blocked the civil servant's mouth.

The emperor nodded happily and said loudly: "No matter what powerful secret weapons the Xiongnu have, I believe that my eldest prince will be able to repel the Xiongnu! Yu Yan was the God of War of Dayan in the past, and he is also now! Drive away the small thieves of the Xiongnu Go back to their tiny land in Mobei!"

The second prince was also in the court today, and he was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although the third prince is his archenemy, Jun Yuyan is also his opponent. The Huns are coming fiercely, and it would be best if Jun Yuyan dies on the battlefield.

Even if he didn't die, he could take advantage of his departure to conquer his power and then recruit Murong Jiu into his trap.

He had been wavering on the issue of whether to kill Murong Jiu or not.

<divclass="contentadv">It's okay now, there's no need to kill him. Jun Yuyan is not here, so there can't be so many people protecting Murong Jiu. If Murong Jiu doesn't want to follow him, just grab him!

Jun Yuyan, Jun Yuyan, I didn’t expect that you are really a good prince who serves the country and the people, and you go to the battlefield without fear of death. You are no longer the God of War back then, so don’t even think about coming back.

Has anyone seen a crippled God of War?

However, the second prince did not say any compliments after the other ministers. He wanted to lower his presence now so as not to displease his father.

However, if you don't want something to come, then something will come.

The emperor's eyes fell on the second prince, and he suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Second brother, you are already in your prime. Your eldest brother went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. By the time you were your age, you were already known as the God of War. However, you are unknown and you are a middle-aged man. A legitimate son is too mediocre."

The second prince pursed his thin lips tightly and knelt down with his hands folded: "Brother, the emperor fought on the battlefield and defended his family and country. Only then have we enjoyed the peace and prosperity of these years, and have the mediocrity of our sons and ministers been possible."

The implication is that he is not mediocre, it is the lack of use for him in recent years that makes him appear mediocre.

"Now that the Huns are invading, in order to train you, I have decided to let you go with the army to the border. You will follow your imperial brother and start as a young military attaché, just like your imperial brother did back then."

As soon as the emperor said this, the second prince's expression changed, and the expressions of the second prince's party also changed drastically.

"Absolutely not possible, Your Majesty!" A party member of the second princes said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous to go to the Xiongnu. The royal family will not have many heirs. If the first prince is gone, and then the second prince is gone, then only the third prince is left. I’m in the capital with the fourth prince!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think again! The Second Prince's talents lie in the court, not in leading troops in war. There are still many things in the capital that the Second Prince must do."

However, the ministers kneeling down one after another did not make the emperor change his mind. No matter what they said, the emperor made up his mind to ask the second prince to go to the border to practice, and said that he would be crowned king when he came back.

Yes, the second prince still has no title, the third prince has been granted the title of Prince Rui, and a few days ago, the fourth prince was also granted the title of Prince Jing. Of the four princes, only the second prince has been left alone.

Now it is even more clear that only the second prince who has gone to the border can be crowned king when he returns.

It is impossible not to go.

The second prince could only hold his nose and accept the order.

Jun Yuyan's deep eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything to stop him. The second prince went with him to the border, and he only started as a junior official. He didn't have to worry about "Huo Lei" being discovered. Even if the second prince didn't go, he wouldn't He personally carried Huo Lei, but asked his confidants to go ahead in secret.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Jun Yuyan saw Murong Jiu at the door.

The weather has cooled down. She is wearing a long water-red dress with a cape of the same color on her shoulders. She has smooth black hair. She is not wearing any makeup, but she has a breathtaking beauty. However, the frown between her brows adds to the beauty. A fragile temperament.

Jun Yuyan got off his horse and quickly took her into his arms.

"Why are you here? Why don't you rest in the house?"

"I thought you were about to go to court, and I had nothing to do, so I wanted to come and greet you."

She was uneasy and forced herself not to worry too much, but she still couldn't help but worry.

Thinking that Jun Yuyan would go to Hexi soon and spend a little more time with him, he came to the door and waited.

"Father, has he agreed?"
