"It turns out that His Highness King Heng of the Beidi Kingdom personally brought people to arrest us little minions. He really thinks highly of us." The general stretched out his hand and drew the sharp blade, and warm blood dripped down the sword and fell to the ground, as if he felt No pain.
Amidst the flash of swords and shadows, several heads fell to the ground.
General Ning Yuan stepped on the general's head and said, "My lord, these people are probably sent by Linyue Kingdom."
One mouthful of Beidi country means that they are not from Beidi country.
Li Yuheng looked at the corpse and said, "Carry them all back. Father is still waiting for news from us."
When the group returned to the Royal Hunting Camp, Li Yuheng learned that after he took his people away yesterday, another group of people assassinated Li Jingxing, which also happened at the entrance of the camp.
Li Yuheng winked at General Ning Yuan, and the two of them walked into the camp, "Father, all those who shot the arrows have been killed. I suspect that they are killers sent by Linyue Kingdom."
Li Jingxing leaned on the soft chair, his face dark, and his eyes were as sharp as swords, "The people who attacked the camp yesterday, King Che also suspected that they were sent by Linyue Kingdom, but unfortunately no one was left alive. ”
Li Junche looked at the emperor and said: "Father, the Linyue Kingdom knows that it is no match for our Beidi Kingdom on the battlefield, and also knows that the war between the two countries is imminent and unavoidable, so they resort to these insidious and cunning tactics. It is to cause civil strife in Beidi, weaken our national strength, and delay time."
The Prime Minister echoed: "The less they dare to go to war, the more evidence and evidence they will leave behind."
Li Jingxing thought long and hard, "If the two countries start a war now, we, the Beidi Kingdom, will definitely win, but the price will be very high."
Li Yuheng stood up and raised his hands, saying loudly: "Father, if we don't start a war, Linyue Kingdom will definitely take action frequently, and things like yesterday will happen again."
The emperor hesitated. This was far from his previous plan. Even if he wanted to capture Linyue Kingdom, he did not want to pay too much cost.
The last peace talks were forced to cease the war midway due to insufficient food and military supplies.
"You guys tell me." The emperor looked at the six ministers.
During this spring hunt, all the governors of the three provinces were left in the imperial city to handle official duties and were not brought with them.
The Minister of Household Affairs: "Back to the emperor, although the treasury is still insufficient in money and food, this year will definitely be a good harvest year. I think this battle can be fought."
The Minister of Rites: "I think it would be better to delay it for another year. First, the planting of sweet potatoes and corn has just begun, and the people have not yet tasted the fruits. Starting a war at this time will inevitably increase the burden on the people. Second, we and Linyue State have just begun. The armistice has been less than two years, and if we cannot ensure a 100%25 victory, we may be tempted to go to war. "
Minister of the Ministry of War: "Linyue Kingdom has repeatedly provoked troubles. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they will think that we are easy to bully, and they will be even more emboldened in the future."
The Minister of Civil Affairs said: "I also agree that this battle should be fought."
The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Industry were in a dilemma.
The Prime Minister and the Minister of Rites stood with King Che, the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of War stood with King Heng.
How should the two of them talk to each other appropriately? Offending people on both sides.
But how could the emperor let them go? "What are the opinions of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works?"
The Minister of Punishment had offended King Heng before because of the marriage between his children, and he almost offended King Che because of the murder of Princess Lin. At this time, he was really conflicted in his heart.
Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry also knew that his brother-in-law was in a dilemma. For the sake of his daughter-in-law, he finally stood up and responded: "Back to the emperor, I think we should wait for another year. After one year, we will attack." The best time for Linyue Kingdom.”
The Minister of Punishment breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I second the proposal."
Li Yuheng glanced at the three ministers, originally thinking of taking this opportunity to drive Li Junche out of the capital and let him go to the battlefield.
The battlefield is ruthless, and if you lose your life, you will have no chance to compete with yourself for the throne. Unexpectedly, the two neutral ministers disagreed.
The emperor already had a plan in his mind, "Then we will wait another year, but we can't do nothing. Since Wen Yanru used such despicable means, then we will treat him the same way he did. , I heard that the three princes of Linyue Kingdom have also moved to separate residences, so I will randomly kill one or two to teach him a lesson."
Everyone present lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. I am looking for trouble to kill my son. This is really a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Could it be that the emperor himself abandoned a son and wanted to let the emperor of Linyue Kingdom also feel the feeling of losing a son.
If Linyue Kingdom had not been instigating behind the scenes, the third prince Li Zhilin might not have committed such a serious crime and be demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life.
Li Yuheng glanced at Li Junche for the first time.
Li Junche looked at the emperor in silence.
Previously, Prince Wenxin was ordered by Wen Xianyue to assassinate Wen Jinhe, but was killed by the secret guards sent by Li Junche.
Although it was difficult for him to kill a prince who lived outside the palace, the success rate was still very high.
However, this matter was ordered by the emperor and must not come forward, otherwise it may arouse the emperor's suspicion.
The Prime Minister was hesitant in his words, "Your Majesty, it is very difficult to send assassins to the empire to assassinate people."
"Of course I know that it is very difficult and must be done. The majesty of the royal family of Beidi cannot be violated by others. Even if you can't kill them, you still have to scare them. King Heng, King Che, what do you two think?"
Li Junche lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "My father asked my son to lead the army in the war, and my son will definitely take the lead. However, leading people to assassinate is really not my forte."
Li Yuheng stared at Li Junche strangely. He actually showed weakness and refused.
There are times when cold-blooded killing weapons don't want to see blood.
"Is it possible that the three princes of Linyue Kingdom are the brothers of Princess Che, and the second brother can't do it?"
Li Junche turned his head and looked at Li Yuheng, "Jinhe is now my king's princess and my brother's sister-in-law. Please be careful what you say."
When the emperor saw the two people openly quarreling, he felt extremely irritated. He was just talking about dealing with Linyue Kingdom, so why did he drag Princess Che into the water again? "Princess Che and Prince Che played the harp in harmony, and they loved each other. Don't mention these words again in the future." ”
Li Yuheng shut up, feeling a little angry and dissatisfied. How could a princess from an enemy country be worth such protection?
Li Junche was just a man who was bewildered by his beauty and was mentally infatuated. Why did his father also be so protective of Wen Jinhe?
Could it be because she offered sweet potatoes and corn seeds?
Li Jingxing looked at the crowd and said, "Since you don't have anyone suitable to recommend, let's look at the performance of the military attaches during this spring hunt."
General Ning Yuan stood behind Li Yuheng. He originally thought about coming in to ask for credit from the emperor. Maybe he would have the military power of the western suburbs camp. Now he wished that Li Jingxing couldn't see him.
