Chapter 1967 Negotiation
But the affairs of the Ministry of Justice are not the most important thing after all, the most important thing now is the affairs of the Northland.
You know, the prince of Beirong is in the capital, and no one can guard against when he will send news back to Beirong. If Beirong learns the news of the death of King Huainan, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to attack important passes in various places in the Northland. .
If the covenant is broken and the city is temporarily lost, it will have a major impact on the entire Great Chu.
At that time, under the command of the Northern Army cavalry, I don’t know how many innocent souls will die in the war.
Sure enough, when Emperor Xuanming mentioned recommending generals to go to Beidi.
Not many officials paid attention to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
That position was impossible to settle on at once.
"I think General Fei is fine." This was recommended by Qi Shangshu.
"I think General Guo is more suitable." Taifu Deng was not to be outdone, and recommended his own people.
At this time, Mr. Zhong Ge suddenly said: "The old minister thought that the princes can go."
As soon as the words came out, all the officials in the court were quiet for a moment, and seeing that Emperor Xuanming didn't deny it immediately, they all wisely guessed that maybe this was what Emperor Xuanming meant, and they just said it through the mouth of Elder Zhong Ge.
For a while, they began to discuss in a low voice.
When Qi Shangshu heard the words, his eyes blinked, and he didn't say any more words of rejection.
This can give King Qi a workout. When he gets the military power, not to mention that Beidi is now a piece of fat. He said so much before, but in fact he just wanted to eat a piece of meat.
I didn't expect it to be so easy.
When Taifu Deng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he became anxious.
Although his Deng family also had a prince, but the fifth prince is only one year old. Such a milk baby has missed a good opportunity at his age.
But this time he rationally did not open his mouth. If the emperor wanted such a thing, he could only obey. Only in this way could he continue to be favored.
In this way.
Going up early, the matter was settled. It is true that several princes went to the Northland together, and sent there at the same time, as well as some generals.
But King Qi was left behind, and he could not set off until fifteen days later.
Mr. Zhong Ge directly raised this point in the court: "Your Majesty, I suggest that Prince Qi monitor Prince Beirong. If Prince Qi leaves now, Prince Beirong will only be aware of it immediately and will suspect us of the chaos in the North. Bei Rong got this fake news, what if he couldn't resist the temptation and suddenly wanted to tear up the covenant?"
"This will only nullify all our previous efforts. Of course, the most important thing is to avoid this matter from dragging down my great Chufa's strong footsteps." Zhong Ge's voice was loud and mellow, and he didn't look old at all.
It was extremely provocative, and those generals who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country were excited and responded with a voice.
Qi Shangshu knew that he would suffer when Mr. Zhong Ge mentioned King Qi.
Sure enough, when he heard Mr. Zhong Ge's suggestion, he almost fainted out of breath, and when he saw Mr. Zhong Ge, he wanted to tear his mouth.
"Your Majesty, if...if we don't treat people equally and let several adult princes go to the frontier to experience, wouldn't it make the prince of Beirong feel that something is wrong and guess what happened?" Qi Shangshu hurriedly spoke out, reminding him from the side.
Master Zhong Ge obviously came prepared, and took a slow look at him: "The problem you mentioned, Shangshu Qi, will be completed by Prince Qi."
"The old minister's suggestion to keep Prince Qi in the capital is to confuse Prince Beirong and his party, and let Prince Qi drag Prince Beirong along. Otherwise, wouldn't it be obvious to Prince Beirong that Beidi urgently needs generals to guard it?"
