[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

The prince has always been gentle, but he suddenly made such a tough statement, everyone was taken aback.

Emperor Jianming was also a little surprised. He looked at the prince and asked, "Why?"

"Father, my son thinks that the barbarian came to Beijing this time so arrogantly, he must have no intention of asking for peace. If the eldest prince dies this time, even if the third prince didn't gossip after returning, the barbarian's Khan will blame us. It might be time to take advantage of the opportunity and send troops south. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to wait for peace with war!" The prince's words are quite reasonable.

Emperor Jianming twirled his beard with appreciative eyes and nodded.

Zhang Heng was greatly relieved.

As a king, you can be kind, but not too kind.

To the enemy, he should be as free as severe cold and scorching heat, and the prince has already set out in this regard.

Tu Lu did not take it seriously, "Father and sons thought that what the emperor said was true, but he was biased. Now the barbarian is showing the intention of making friends. If we rashly raise troops, I am afraid it will ruin the current good situation. .Besides, fighting a war will inevitably cost the people and waste money. At that time, the common people will have no means of living, mourning everywhere, and the peaceful and prosperous world under the rule of the father may be ruined at once."

There is some truth in what Tu Lu said.

Emperor Jianming showed hesitation in his eyebrows and eyes.

Nowadays, Haiyan and Heqing are all over the world, although the savage knocks and harasses him from time to time, but it's only small troubles, and no major incidents have happened.

And if there was a real fight, the barbarians' cavalry were all brave and good at fighting, and if one could stand against ten, their chances of winning were not great.

"Let's think about it, you go down first." Emperor Jianming waved his hand, signaling for everyone to retreat.

Although he intends to make meritorious deeds and his name will last forever, he is also afraid that this "peaceful and prosperous age" will be destroyed once.

"Yes!" Everyone retreated unwillingly.

Along the way, Zhang Heng did not speak.

The prince glanced at him secretly, "Uncle, are you angry?"

"No." Zhang Heng said lightly, "His Royal Highness behaved very well today, why am I angry?"

The prince's eyes rolled, he was almost brought up by Zhang Heng since he was a child, he couldn't tell when he was telling the truth and when he was telling lies, he was obviously angry now, but he said no.

Seems to be outraged.

"Uncle, the emperor must have his own considerations." The prince thought for a while, and said: "Actually, it makes sense whether it is war or peace. The barbarian's cavalry is indeed very powerful. To be honest, I also feel that peace may not be possible." No."

Zhang Heng glanced at him, "You really think so?"

The prince was dumb, and shook his head helplessly.

It was so hard to lie in front of my uncle.

"You're clever." Zhang Heng said.

He actually knew something in his heart, and with Emperor Jianming's indecisive character, it was not difficult to understand why he made this decision.

It's just that the barbarian may not be as he wants.

"Uncle, the third prince will have to leave in a few days anyway. It will be clear whether it is war or peace." The prince's heart is like a mirror.

"Is it war or peace?" Jia Amnesty frowned at Jia Daishan in confusion.

Jia Daishan nodded and said: "In your opinion, peace should be fought?"

Jia Amnesty was silent for a moment, but in an instant, he gave his own answer: "Fight!"

He answered decisively, without leaving an inch of leeway.

This caused Jia Daishan to ask suspiciously: "Why?"

He was not surprised by Jia Amnesty's answer, but by his determination and not leaving any room.

Jia She lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows. He didn't smile, but his face was serious and determined, "Because barbarians are like wolves and tigers. Once they show their cowardice, they will be smashed to pieces. If this is the case, we shouldn't raise wolves and tigers. It’s time to cut the weeds and root them out when they are still young!!”

Jia Daishan was awe-inspiring, with mixed feelings in his heart, and finally turned into a silent movement.

He nodded.

Agree with Jia She's words.

In war, there will inevitably be sacrifices and bloodshed.

But waiting for war with peace can only fatten the enemy and make the enemy bigger!

In fact, many ministers also understand this truth in their hearts.

But no one dares to risk their own reputation and future.

Sue for peace, even if something happens, they won't be held accountable.

Begging for war, once you lose the battle, you must be liquidated.

When the two are compared, many people have to blindly seek peace for their own sake.

"If there is a fight, do you know that Da'an's chances of winning are not great?" Jia Daishan asked persuasively.

Jia She nodded. The barbarians are arrogant and vicious, but they are indeed capable of being arrogant and vicious. Their horses are the best horses in the world. Yes, they are more relaxed on horseback than on land, and they can be said to be soldiers of the whole people, even the old and weak, women and children can ride on horseback to kill the enemy.

In such a strong atmosphere of advocating martial arts, the barbarians have changed from the barbarians who were completely ignored by Da An to become their confidantes now.

Da'an is now mainly infantry.

The lethality of infantry is far inferior to that of cavalry.

If it weren't for General Huang guarding the frontier, the barbarians would have sent troops south.

But Feng Tangyi is old, General Huang has known his destiny, no matter how brave and good at fighting, he can't last much longer.

However, Jia She had an idea in mind.

He thought for a while, then opened his lips and said: "I don't know if the master knows that there was something called Zhentianlei in the previous dynasty!"
