Reborn Emperor's House

After coming down to court, the second prince returned home with a lot of worries.

"Everyone go down, don't bother me." The second prince sat in the study, just wanting to be quiet.

The servants all retreated, the second prince repeated the situation of the early court over and over again in his head, the third prince fought over it, the eldest prince shirked it, and the prince waited and watched.

Just as he was thinking, the door creaked and was pushed open.

The second prince raised his head and saw a woman, holding the door lightly, stepping in.

"Zitong." The second prince called her softly.

"Your Highness." The woman's voice was soft and seemed to soothe one's mind.

"Hey, Zitong, today, in court, for some reason, everyone is weird. After all, I'm actually asked to lead the army to fight." The second prince smiled wryly.

"Your Highness is benevolent, I'm afraid..."

"Zitong, don't comfort me. What kind of benevolence? I know I'm not that kind of material." The second prince sighed, and then said, "People who are up to the top always have traps in their words, and they have a purpose in everything they do. This time, I still don’t know what kind of scapegoat I will carry.”

"My servant thinks that this time it was just an accident." Zitong walked gently to the second prince, who took her hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Go ahead." The second prince said.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince is supposed to avoid suspicion, while the crown prince has always been lukewarm. On the third prince's side, the emperor does not nod, presumably there is a reason for the emperor."

"So...this time, I took advantage of it and won the military power?" The second prince's face became brighter.

"Your Highness...want military power?"

"Naturally, if you were born in the royal family, you have to protect yourself even if you don't have any ambitions. Although the power of your mother's family is not small, most of them are local powers. It's better to have military power in your hands." The second prince explained.

"So..." Zitong nodded without saying anything.

"Zitong, do you have something to say?"

"Slaves don't know whether to speak properly or not."

"Zitong, don't be fooled, just say it."

Zitong thought for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, this servant thinks that it's not easy for His Highness to take over this matter."

"Why? This is obviously an opportunity."

"Your Highness, at this time His Highness is safe and sound, mostly because His Highness has always been neutral and has never had any relationship with any party. Although the power in his hand is not great, it is enough to protect himself. Others dare not easily harm His Highness. But if you get it this time Military power, Your Highness seems to have more military power, but in fact it is more dangerous, Your Highness, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Zitong said.

"That being said, but..." The second prince hesitated a bit, and after thinking about it, he said, "If you have military power, you can be more stable. Your business, maybe..."

"Your Highness," Zitong interrupted him, "Your Highness knows, Zitong never cared about these things."

"But I still want to give you a title." The second prince said.

"Your Highness, Zitong was born in a brothel with a humble status. His Royal Highness favors him. It is a blessing to have a safe place to live. I dare not ask for anything else." Zitong smiled softly, "Your Highness, please don't bring it up again. Zitong understands it in his heart." .”

The second prince held her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

"Okay, I'll write a letter to my father right now."

The palace, the imperial study.

The second prince's notebook was placed on the table, saying that he did not have the talent to lead soldiers, so he did not dare to take on this important task.

"Wu Qing, what do you think of the son of the second prince?" the emperor asked the old minister beside him.

"I think it is not the best policy to send the second prince."

"Oh." The emperor snorted without expressing anything.

The old minister could only bite the bullet and continued, "I think that this matter cannot be delayed any longer. The second prince has more talent than courage, leading troops to fight... It is really difficult for him."

"Then how many generals will I send?"

"Your Majesty, military matters should not be so hasty. It is about the life and death of soldiers and the safety of the common people. I think, I think..." The old minister hesitated for a while, but said, "I think, some things are more important than state affairs."

"Ai Qing is blaming me..."

"I dare not."

"Ai Qing, state affairs are the most important thing, why don't I know it, but now, if the power falls into the wrong hands, there will be endless troubles."

"Your Majesty, the military situation is like a fire, I'm afraid I can't take much care of it."

"Hmm..." The emperor pondered for a while, "Then Ai Qing thinks, who is the right one?"

"Elder prince. There are many generals in the eldest prince's mother's family, and His Royal Highness has also practiced martial arts since childhood. I think he is suitable."

"He, he is making it clear that he will not go now, in order to avoid suspicion. What's more, his family's military power is not suitable for more." The emperor shook his head, "He will not risk becoming sand in my eyes for the sake of the people. of."

"Your Majesty, at this point, His Royal Highness..."

"Prince, prince," the emperor put his hand on his forehead and rubbed it. "The prince is indeed more responsible than others, but the Jiang family is a problem after all."

"Your Majesty, I think that the prince is not someone who seeks personal gain for the Jiang family. Over the years, the boundary between the prince and the Jiang family has gradually become clearer, so I think that I can send the prince to this matter."

"Wu Qing, this prince and tutor is really not in vain."

"The emperor was joking."

"In this case, let the prince go. This military power should be compensated for him. After marrying the princess of the Yi country, and sending troops to the Yi country, in the end, he also obeyed my arrangement." The emperor thought for a while and then Said, "This child has never disobeyed my arrangement. He hasn't even taken a testimonial."

The emperor nodded, "Well, let the prince go. Give him the military power, not only that, but also give him some of the soldiers of the family. The eldest prince doesn't want to go, doesn't he want to avoid suspicion? Hmph, I will let him avoid it." .”

"Yes. Your Majesty, the Third Prince..."

"Don't worry, this evil person, let him have some more time." The emperor took a deep breath, "Forget it, you go down."

"My minister retire."

After the old minister withdrew, he also wondered in his heart, how could the second prince suddenly refuse to go, and the military power he obtained was given up again. If he said that the second prince was afraid of hurting the people, he didn't believe it. The second prince has not yet reached such a level. .So why?

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think about it anymore, that's all, let the prince go, it would be an eye opener, and it would save the deaths of soldiers and civilians.

At Xu Jijiu's house, Ren Zishan looked at the note that had just been delivered, and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, the second prince won't be going, that's for sure."

"In this way, the crown prince is more confident." The shopkeeper said.

"Well, that's right, the second prince is a coward, how can he lead the army? No matter what, the prince has been handed down by me for so long, so it's no problem to fight a battle." Ren Zishan was proud.

"Don't say it so lightly, it's going to kill you." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him, "It will be even more difficult for the prince to take the military power in the future. We have to prepare early."

"Okay, okay, prepare, prepare, how do you say to prepare." Ren Zishan shook his head to express his support.

The shopkeeper was speechless, "Just calm down."

The next day, in the early court, the emperor announced that the prince would lead the army to go out.

Above the court, some people are happy and some are sad.

After the court, everyone from all parties quickened their pace and went back to make arrangements.
