I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

After finishing the official business, the envoys went back to the embassy, ​​and then it was time for Di Chao monarch and ministers to discuss.

A few angry officials stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the request of the cunning country is too outrageous and arrogant! They must not be spared lightly!"

"Yes! How can I, Di Chaoshangwei, commit such an offense lightly!"

"Have they forgotten my Da Di's million-strong army?"

Of course, there are also many officials who disagree: "The Cunning Kingdom has been raising soldiers and horses secretly in recent years, purchasing ironware, and the number of cavalry has increased greatly. This time it is so blatant to come here, so it must have something to rely on."

"I, Dadi, have become more and more difficult to spend on military expenses in the past few years. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to use force lightly at this time."

Those who spoke earlier retorted:

"Do you eat the salary of the imperial court, or the salary of the cunning country?"

"Our dynasty's army has been reduced every year, and now it is directly facing Shangcun, and the outcome is still unknown."

The Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became noisy like a vegetable market.

Li Jinyu sat on the dragon seat, and leaned back into the dragon chair with some timidity.

Human beings are horrible, with such chaotic, complex, noisy sounds.

Fortunately, he was familiar with the following courtiers, knowing that they would not pose any threat to him, and he was used to the atmosphere in the court, so the fear did not last long.

Try to take a few deep breaths, and slowly relax your body.

Huo Caiyu had been silent since the envoy left, and at this moment he suddenly raised his voice and said softly: "What does the quarrel look like in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

The ministers suddenly became quieter.

Although their young regent has only taken over the power not long ago, he has shown extremely high talents and means in handling various affairs.Even the backbone of the prime minister's faction, after suffering Huo Caiyu's losses several times, dare not despise him because of his age.

Seeing that the hall of Supreme Harmony had calmed down, Huo Caiyu said, "Since we each have opinions, we should go back and make plans, and report them together."

This matter could not be resolved for a while, General Meng and Prime Minister Ye did not express any objection, and the meeting was hastily adjourned early in the morning.

Many officials who had just been filled with righteous indignation were still a little confused when they walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony: What is the attitude of the regent towards this matter?Could it be that they are actually peacemakers?

……

Li Jinyu is the least worried about this issue - it can be seen from the original book that Huo Caiyu is extremely resolute in defending the country and will never harm any national interests.

He thought that Huo Caiyu would slap his face hard without hesitation in the morning, but he didn't.

Huo Caiyu seemed to see Li Jinyu's doubts, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty thinks that I have the intention of betraying the country and seeking safety?"

Li Jinyu said without hesitation: "How is it possible?"

A smile appeared on Huo Caiyu's lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Li Jinyu blinked, a little dazed: huh?What did he trust?

Huo Caiyu gently poured a cup of tea for His Majesty, and said in detail: "If the Di dynasty is still the Di dynasty ten years ago, and the cunning country is still the cunning country ten years ago, the minister will definitely send the envoy to the court without hesitation. Refute it and go back; it's just that there is not much difference between the strength of my Da Di's army and that of the country's army—and we just ended the counter-insurgency against the Southwest a while ago."

The large-scale dispatch of troops by the imperial court is not just as simple as mobilizing money, food, manpower, and roads. Even if they win the battle, it is no less than a serious injury, and it will take at least a period of recovery;

Today's border troops can barely maintain a normal defense by relying on the city walls. If the cunning country decides to attack the border, the current border guards are naturally insufficient, and internal troops must be dispatched.

Now Dadi is just beginning to patch up the loopholes left by the smoky past, and the army is no exception.

At this time, the outcome of the battle against the cunning country is indeed unpredictable.

The war faction in the early morning court who shouted "We must teach the cunning country a lesson" may not necessarily be a good official who is loyal to the country, and the peace faction who keeps silent or advocates appeasing the cunning country for the time being may not necessarily be a corrupt official who betrays the country and seeks glory. .

"On the other hand... there may be ministers in the court who have accepted bribes from the cunning country." Huo Caiyu's face darkened slightly, "The envoys of the cunning country know the position of our officials very well in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and they are definitely not newcomers."

Whether it was deliberately provoking the relationship between the regent and the emperor, or greeting the prime minister, the general, etc., the eyes of the envoys showed no hesitation or curiosity. Obviously, they had even seen the appearance of any specific minister in advance.

If the military is weak alone, it can be solved, and if there is an insider leaking the news, then we have to take it seriously.

Li Jinyu didn't expect that the relationship between countries would be so complicated, and tried to clarify Huo Caiyu's thinking: "Then Huo Aiqing is also a peacemaker?"

It was hard for him to imagine that Huo Caiyu, whose father died fighting to defend the frontier, would choose to swallow his anger.

"No." Unexpectedly, Huo Caiyu shook his head, his expression suddenly cold and serious, "My minister's opinion is that we must fight. Peace talks are a favor bestowed by the victors to the losers. Under the premise of excellence."

"Is that... to fight or not to fight?"

Huo Caiyu suddenly looked helpless: "For the issue of armaments, General Meng started preparations last time after he asked for his soldiers' pay from the household department. Now he has Dong Jixiang's new armor, which is much stronger than before; the key question is... whether there are soldiers or not?" Will."

Li Jinyu put down his teacup, and the surprise on his face became more intense: "Isn't there?"

"Your Majesty, you mean General Meng?" Huo Caiyu poured tea for His Majesty, and sighed, "General Meng is indeed a talented general with a strong fighting style—but there is only one general in our Dadi army In the past ten years, if the cunning country is not too stupid, it will definitely study the tactics of General Meng carefully in order to make a breakthrough."

There was another sentence that Huo Caiyu didn't say.

General Meng is old.

General Meng is nearly fifty this year. Although ordinary royal family members are still healthy under the care of various doctors and medicinal materials, for generals, they have passed the golden age of the most advanced.

Over the years, Da Di almost relied on him for his battles. He had accumulated secret injuries for many years, and was repeatedly made things difficult by Prime Minister Ye, so his health was not as good as before.

Huo Caiyu's father had sighed to Huo Caiyu when he was still alive, saying that if something happens to General Meng, I don't know who can take up this heavy burden.

It stands to reason that the generals of the Di Dynasty should not be so green and yellow, but in order to weaken the strength of the generals, Prime Minister Ye insisted on military expenses and food supplies, making many talented young generals like General Huo Yi hate the frontier , leaving only General Meng alone.

During the Southwest Rebellion, Huo Caiyu knew privately that General Meng was still injured.

Huo Caiyu was very worried that General Meng, who had been studying General Meng for ten years, would deliberately attack him.

Li Jinyu didn't understand Huo Caiyu's implication, but he wasn't referring to General Meng either.

"I'm talking about you."

Huo Caiyu is indeed a rare genius, capable of fighting in battle and governing the country.If it weren't for such a genius, it would be impossible to overthrow the decadent Dadi Dynasty in a short period of time and rebuild a new order on the ruins.

—I'm talking about you.

Huo Caiyu met Li Jinyu's normal gaze, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

He had read a lot of military books when he was at home, and was taught many military techniques by his father, but he had never been on the battlefield before.His Majesty actually thinks that he can be the chief general?

Fighting against a cunning country is no trivial matter!A little carelessness leads to the breach of the border, and the people of the Central Plains will face the crisis of dying!

Why does His Majesty trust him so much?

Huo Caiyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she met Li Jinyu's confident eyes, she suddenly couldn't speak again.

His majesty's eyes are full of pure confidence and expectation without any gloomyness, as if there is really nothing in this world that Huo Caiyu can't do.

Infected by such gazes, Huo Caiyu suddenly felt a sense of confidence and courage coming from nowhere.

For his majesty, maybe he can really do anything.

After a long silence, Huo Caiyu put down the already cold teapot and nodded cautiously: "I will do my best."

Looking at His Majesty's undisguised joy, Huo Caiyu suddenly had a strong impulse and speculation in his heart.

——Your Majesty always treats him unexpectedly well, and the degree of trust he gives him has far exceeded the maximum degree an emperor can give to his subjects...

——Is His Majesty really only treating him as a courtier?Or is it that His Majesty treats him differently, the kind that is deeper and more unique than the general friendship between monarchs and ministers...

Inexplicably flashed in my mind what the princess of the cunning country said - "When you meet someone you like, you can speak directly, and you can be straightforward and clear about success or failure. How can it be like Di country who likes to go around three circles with one sentence?"

Huo Caiyu opened his mouth, his blood was rushing up, eager to confirm his feelings with His Majesty.

How much he longed for this long, sweet, painful, and happy secret love to be gently picked up by his majesty and put in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

Huo Caiyu's words had just begun, when His Majesty seemed to think of something, and suddenly added: "By the way, Chi Zhongming can also be the chief general."

Huo Caiyu: "..."

……

The matter of assistance has been delayed for the time being.

The Dadi court postponed the matter indefinitely on the pretext of discussion among the officials.

Huo Caiyu wants to use this time to investigate who in the court sold the news to the cunning country and how much.

Only in this way, the envoy's request to compete with General Dadi in martial arts could not be refused.

It is said that it is a martial arts competition, but it is actually a very delicate matter.

If people at the level of General Meng and the Regent end up on the stage, no matter whether they win or lose, Da Di will appear very stingy—they only bring a few guards, and you go straight to the top, losing your status and losing face;

If only ordinary soldiers and generals are sent there, they are very likely to lose. People in both countries know the state of Di Dynasty's army in the past few years. Those in the capital are naturally people who can't stand on the stage.

In case of losing, it will lose the face of the whole Dadi, and then there will be no need to fight at the border, and the disappointment of the whole world will make the border soldiers retreat without a fight.

Moreover, the envoy of the cunning country clearly stated that he wanted to challenge the generals of the Di Dynasty, so it was not good to cheat and replace them so shamelessly.

In order to give Huo Caiyu some time, and to separate the suspected traitor from the corresponding forces, Li Jinyu immediately decided: move to the palace!

The Summer Palace is a must-go place for emperors in summer in previous years. It is cool and pleasant to dissipate the summer heat.

The ministers also went with their families.

There is an extremely wide hunting ground in the palace. Generally, when autumn comes, the emperor hunts here once, returns to the capital with the prey, and comes back in midsummer the following year.

This hunting ground can just be used as a test place for the envoys of the cunning country and the general Dadi.

In fact, preparations for moving to the summer resort began a long time ago, but a series of arrangements after the scientific examination, the counterattack sent by the prime minister, and the reception preparations for the envoys from the cunning country have been delayed.

Now His Majesty decided to set off, and the officials immediately responded to the call.

……

The journey to the Summer Palace was not too far away, but the speed of the emperor's imperial car and the accompanying officials was naturally not fast, and it took half a month to arrive safely.

The palace is surrounded by a green hill in Beijing, and the clear spring on the top of the mountain trickles down, skillfully surrounds every palace in the palace, and nourishes the broad-leaved long forest in the palace.

The hunting ground is just to the south of the palace, and there are special guards to ensure that there will not be too dangerous beasts in the hunting ground to threaten the safety of the palace;

Going south through the hunting grounds, you will come out of the wild land. In the past, when the emperor hunted, he would rush to the real mountains and forests to look for pure wild prey.

Of course, there are a large number of guards to protect.

Li Jinyu had no interest in hunting at all, and sat on the viewing platform with a hamster cage filled with glutinous rice balls, yawning boredly.

It is not known how much intention Qiao Guo wanted to compete with the generals of the Di Dynasty in martial arts, but obviously he couldn't let the other party take the rhythm away.

Huo Caiyu suggested with a smile: "If you fight directly, the sword has no eyes, and if you hurt your country's envoy, you will be in the name of my etiquette. You might as well use hunting as the topic first, and see which side can catch more prey."

Hunting is simply one of the best skills for the people of the Cunning Country. Even if they are in the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are not worried about their lack of confidence, so they naturally agree.

Li Jinyu was slightly puzzled, and asked Huo Caiyu in private: "Aren't you afraid that we will lose?"

Huo Caiyu responded in a low voice: "Hunting in the palace, our side has a greater advantage."

Although the elites of the Di Dynasty were all guarding the border, it was not worth rushing back for such a thing, but General Meng's men were not completely empty-they lacked a general who could lead the army and formulate strategies, and people who were capable of pure force Not a lot.

Moreover, these generals from the capital had all come to the palace to hunt in the past, and they were very familiar with the geographical distribution of the palace—otherwise, how could they conveniently transfer their prey to the emperor and others, and flatter them without any trace?

General Meng discussed with Huo Caiyu and selected several middle-level generals, two of whom belonged to the Meng family and the Han family.

These generals can be said to be a model of "talking about soldiers on paper". They lead troops to fight without any rules, and rely on their personal combat power and family cover to barely get mixed up with young generals.

General Meng knew how much they were worth, and he never led them to fight key battles, let alone intervene in the defense of the capital.These few people have nothing to do, and they can only go to the hunting ground to hunt every day to pass the time.

Now it just comes in handy.

Li Jinyu was sitting on the viewing platform, Huo Caiyu was on the left, and the envoy and Princess Tamar were on the other side.

The cunning Princess Tamar wanted to sit directly next to Li Jinyu, but Huo Caiyu refused: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is precious, so don't touch it."

Tamar blinked and pouted: "You Di Chao always have so many rules."

However, she changed places with the envoy and sat next to Huo Caiyu, closer to Li Jinyu.

Huo Caiyu sullenly straightened her waist to block her frequent glances at His Majesty.

Tamar was originally very interested in that pretty little emperor—most men in the cunning country have thick and dense beards, and they admire power and strength, and it is rare to see such a handsome and lovely person as Emperor Dadi.

Tamar was not very happy about being sent as a tribute to Emperor Dadi this time.

Who knows if Emperor Dadi is an old, ugly and disgusting old man?

But looking at this young and beautiful emperor, Tamar suddenly felt that marrying Dadi was also a good choice.

——When the time comes when the father breaks through Dadi's capital, he can still ask his father to keep the emperor's life, and let him live in his own home.

It's just that she wanted to get close to the good-looking Emperor Dadi, but was always stopped by the regent.

Tamar put her eyes on the regent, looked over carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

——The regent's appearance is also very good.

Compared with the weak and handsome emperor over there, the regent's appearance was evenly matched, but he was like a strong pine tree, with a straight and strong temperament, and the slight alienation on his face only deepened his charm.

Tamar suddenly started thinking again.

Unexpectedly, all the men in Di Chao's power are so good-looking.

The regent deliberately blocked himself from contacting the emperor, and even straightened his waist in front of him to pretend to be like this. Could it be that he is interested in himself?

Tamar immediately felt a little disdainful and somewhat complacent about the thoughts of these hypocritical Dadi men.

She approached Huo Caiyu and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness the Regent, who do you think will win the hunt between our two countries?"

Huo Caiyu glanced at her lightly, without saying yes or no: "It's too early to say at this time."

Both teams had just set off.

Tamar laughed coquettishly: "The regent's words sound like he lacks confidence in Dadi."

"This king just doesn't casually draw conclusions about things with unknown results."

"Does the regent think that our two countries can reach an agreement this time?"

"The ministers are still discussing this matter."

Huo Caiyu's indifference did not make Tamar flinch, but instead pestered him with more interest to ask questions.

The envoy on the other side noticed this, frowned, nodded Tamar's back, asked her to come over, and asked in a low voice in a cunning language: "What are you doing? Didn't you ask you to find Emperor Dadi? "

"I think the regent is also very good-looking." Tamar also replied in a low voice in a cunning language, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "Watch me take him down."

The envoy frowned: "But..."

"Anxin, isn't the purpose of my father's sending me here to sow discord among the high-level officials in Dadi?" Tamar brushed her hair disapprovingly, "Isn't it best to make the regent and the emperor jealous for me?"

The envoy was silent for a while, then sighed, and warned: "You have to be careful, the success of our country's long-term plan depends on this one time - a Dadi person who can sit in a high position is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Tamar waved her hand perfunctorily, and continued to tease Huo Caiyu.

Huo Caiyu looked away from them expressionlessly.

He understands lip language.

He also understands Chinese.

My father is the general who guards the frontier. Although translators can be equipped, it is still very necessary for him to know the Chinese language in many cases.

Huo Caiyu made rapid progress in learning poetry, calligraphy and art of war when he was a child, so his father taught him the language of the country by the way.

Just now Tamar turned his back to him and couldn't see Tamar's words, but he could clearly see every word of the envoy.

——Cunning country's great plan?

Huo Caiyu's thoughts turned slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

If you think with your toes, you can also know what the "great plan" of the cunning country is.

This time I came to pay my respects, I was really uneasy and kind.

Huo Caiyu was even more determined that the princess should not be allowed to approach His Majesty.

Among other things, among the many descendants of the late emperor, only His Majesty is healthy and growing up today. If Tama sacrifices his life to assassinate His Majesty, Di Chao will be plunged into storm immediately!

Thinking about how to speak to His Majesty and let His Majesty refuse Tamar to enter the palace, Huo Caiyu suddenly heard Li Jinyu's doubtful voice: "What's wrong?"

Huo Caiyu immediately turned his attention back to His Majesty.

……

The viewing platform where they sat was the top of the highest tower in the palace, with an excellent view, overlooking almost half of the hunting ground.

Looking down from here, the two teams of Di Chao and Qiao Guo set off in different directions, hunting wild or stored prey respectively.

These prey are all to ensure today’s hunting effect, catch them a few days in advance, eat and drink them for a few days, and only feed them with water in the last two days to ensure that they are wild enough to find food after they are released from the cage.

In order to ensure fairness, the prey distribution points are relatively uniform and distributed in different positions.

But looking down at the past, most of those preys actually went towards the direction of the cunning country?

Huo Caiyu frowned.

This is obviously not normal.

He glanced at the envoy.

The envoy smiled and did not speak.On the contrary, Princess Tamar gently brushed her curly long brown hair, and said with a charming smile: "The regent is curious why my cunning warrior is so lucky?"

Huo Caiyu remained expressionless and did not answer.

Tamar was not annoyed, and continued graciously: "Our cunning warriors are blessed by the cunning god, and we have bathed in the cunning god's holy water since birth, so we can be invincible and our wishes come true."

This kind of nonsense can also deceive ordinary people, and Huo Caiyu naturally doesn't believe a word.

The cunning country believes in the strange beast "cunning" in ancient legends. It is said that cunning "has a shape like a dog and a leopard inscription, its horns are like a cow, its sound is like a barking dog, and when you see it, your country will be big." People in the cunning country think it is their ancestor .

But after so many years, I have never seen the cunning god they believe in really show any power, so Dadi naturally sneered at this.

Huo Caiyu gathered his inner strength and focused on the hunting ground.

The Dichao generals in the hunting ground obviously realized that something was wrong.

They are very familiar with the terrain of the hunting ground, so they naturally know that the trajectories of the prey are completely different from before.

Fortunately, these few people specialize in hunting, and soon they have a countermeasure, following the trend of the prey's actions and chasing after them.

Judging from the current situation, the gap between the two sides is not particularly large.

Huo Caiyu was a little relieved.

"From this point of view, I'm afraid Dadi will lose this game." The envoy of the cunning country suddenly said, with a smile on his face, "What did Dadi say? Accepted, His Royal Highness the Regent."

The ministers who accompanied the view showed a hint of anger.

The situation in front of them is obviously caused by the cunning people, but they don't know how to find out.

Huo Caiyu remained expressionless: "The hunt is not over yet."

His words seemed to be a signal, and several generals of Di Chao in the hunting ground below suddenly made new moves.

The author has something to say: Remarks: The description of "cunning" comes from "Shan Hai Jing".
