Vol 2 Chapter 855: Be more honest

"I understand Liu Zhao. Fight with Bei Rong, he can't sit still."
Emperor Wen De was very sure that Liu Zhao couldn't wait to go to the battlefield and make a contribution, so he did a little action by the way.
Gu Jiu blinked, looking innocent and blank.
"Daughter-in-law, what is your Majesty talking about?"
Emperor Wende was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.
"Don't pretend to be stupid in front of me. Liu Zhao's thoughts, I don't believe you don't know anything."
"Daughter-in-law really doesn't know, Liu Zhao never mentioned it to me."
Gu Jiu pretended to be very realistic, but the emperor didn't believe it.
Snapped!
Emperor Wen De slapped the table.
Reinstall!
Pretending to be addicted, isn't it?
"Either tell me the truth. Or just go back and tell Liu Zhao how far you want him to go. This war, nothing about him, tell him not to worry."
Gu Jiu hesitated.
Emperor Wen De sneered.
Gu Jiu was weak and weak: "My daughter-in-law does not spit out a few truths, so I am afraid that it will make your majesty unhappy if you say it.
Emperor Wen De expressed his stance greatly, "Although I say, I forgive you not guilty."
Believe your ghost!
Gu Jiu is not really silly and sweet.
She continued weakly and said: "Although Liu Zhao has never expressed the idea of ​​wanting to fight in front of his daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law knows that he wants to go to the prairie and wants to go to the battlefield. Who in the dynasty is familiar with Bei Rong, not Liu Zhao It must be.
When he stayed in Beirong for nearly a year, he basically knew all the people in the royal court of Beirong, and he knew everyone's temperament and preferences. In addition, he is indeed a fighter, and the right person should be in the right place. From the overall situation, my daughter-in-law thought that your majesty could consider sending Liu Zhao to the battlefield. "
Emperor Wende got up, with his hands behind his back, walking around in the main hall.
At the same time, he said in a cold voice, "Shall I remind you, the ancestors ruled that the prince must not be in control of the military."
"Daughter-in-law knows the rules of the ancestor. But special circumstances, special treatment."
Emperor Wen De sneered coldly, "You really want to send Liu Zhao to the battlefield, are you afraid that he has three long and two shortcomings?"
Gu Jiu calmed down and said, "My daughter-in-law just wants to support Liu Zhao's ideas, and doesn't want him to leave regrets. As for other things, life and death are rich and rich, and they can't hide."
Emperor Wende sneered, "I don't even know, you are so cruel to Liu Zhao."
Gu Jiu retorted in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law doesn't think that leaving him in the capital is a virtuous and virtuous person. It is a wise thing to raise a person who is determined to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, just to let him live a few more years. . People have to dream and pursue a little while alive.

Emperor Wende frowned, "Are you dissatisfied with my approach?"
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. My daughter-in-law is just stating some of her own opinions and thoughts. It may violate most of the cognition, but she promises to tell the truth and naturally cannot hide it."
Emperor Wen De was choked.
Dare to be here waiting for him.
Emperor Wen De said strongly: "The rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. You should understand this, and Liu Zhao should understand. From the beginning, he should not have thoughts that he shouldn't have."
"My daughter-in-law understands why the ancestors made this rule, because he was afraid that once the prince took control of the military, he would support himself and even rebel."
"Since you know, are you still talking nonsense here?" Emperor Wen De was very disgusted.
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, and it was obvious that the other party asked him to stay, which would have become her fault instead. As if she wanted to stay on purpose.
It's really beeping.
Gu Jiu said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, my daughter-in-law is not talking nonsense. My daughter-in-law has said that special circumstances, special treatment. In the northwest, it is almost the same as Luhou. The governor of the northwest is one person, and I am afraid that Luhou cannot be controlled in a short time. After all, Lord Li is a civilian, not a general.
Without establishing meritorious service on the battlefield, Lord Li would not be able to really get the support of the army, and he would not be able to form a strong suppression of Luhou. Your Majesty, the war has started. At this time, we must consider sending someone to the Northwest to help Master Li seize the military power. It is best to win a battle and wash away the shame of the Northeast Border Defense. Everyone knows that the fighting army is not only the Northwest Army, but also other frontier troops. "
Emperor Wen De asked directly: "The best candidate in your mind is Liu Zhao?"
Gu Jiu had a frank expression without any concealment, "Except for Liu Zhao, my daughter-in-law can't think of a more suitable candidate than him. Zhen Guohou is old, and Zhu Guo is also old. As for the honorable children of the various houses, Pei Meng is alone. It is enough to slap all the children of Jingcheng Xungui. The daughter-in-law did not deliberately raise Pei Meng's ambition, the daughter-in-law just told the truth.
Compared with the noble children who talked about soldiers on a dry paper in Beijing, Pei Meng, who has been on the battlefield all year round, is much better than them. It can even be said that even Liu Zhao has spent more time on the battlefield than a honourable child in the capital.
Moreover, Liu Zhao has advantages that other honorable children do not possess. He is the prince and his status is higher than Pei Meng. Although Pei Meng was unhappy, he had to dismount to salute when he saw Liu Zhao. This is a psychological suppression. When people are angry, they are always more impulsive and make wrong decisions. The victorious general may have a big defeat. "
Emperor Wen De snorted coldly, "Dare you expect the ever-victorious general of the court to fight a defeat?"
Gu Jiu whispered: "My daughter-in-law believes that your majesty is also looking forward to it."
"presumptuous!"
"Daughter-in-law convicted!"
Emperor Wende became furious, "What good will Pei Meng defeat for the court? What good will it do for you? I have forgotten that if Pei Meng loses, Liu Zhao can take advantage of the situation to rise. For his own personal gain, betray the court's interests, yes. How shameless is it?"
"Your Majesty's words, my daughter-in-law cannot agree."
"You still dare to quibble. Isn't it you who is looking forward to Pei Meng's defeat?"
"The daughter-in-law is just an analogy. No matter how shameless the daughter-in-law is, she cannot betray the court's interests. The war between Dazhou and Beirong, the daughter-in-law knows better than anyone. This is a national war that determines the national fortune of the two countries. My daughter-in-law is indeed a selfish person, but she will never betray her national interests, let alone hope that Pei Meng will lose to Bei Rong on the battlefield. If she loses, she will lose in her own hands."
Emperor Wen De's expression eased a little.
It is better to lose to one's own hands than to lose to the enemy.
He waved his hand, "Retreat. It's good to settle the refugees, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
Gu Jiu understood the truth in moderation, so she bent back and left Xingqing Palace.
...
Emperor Wen De was in a bad mood.
After Gu Jiu left, he has been sitting in a chair thinking deeply, and has not moved for a long time.
Chang En was a little worried, but didn't dare to bother.
I had to change the tea again and again to make sure that the temperature of the tea was just right whenever the Emperor Wen De wanted to drink tea.
A long sigh!
Emperor Wen De finally changed his posture and made a little movement.
Thank goodness.
Chang En cried with joy.
Emperor Wen De frowned slightly, obviously worried.
In the hall, Chang En was the only one serving.
Emperor Wen De can speak with confidence.
"I know Liu Zhao's abilities better than anyone. But he is the eldest prince. I cannot trust him, let alone give him military power."
"Your Majesty can select generals from the Beijing camp and go to the northwest to help Master Li."
Emperor Wen De shook his head, "All the people in the Beijing camp, whether it is military exploits, seniority, or prestige in the army, can't suppress Luhou."
If Pei Meng is to sling all the noble children, then Luhou is to sling all the noble generals of the Great Zhou.
The title of Marquis Lu was earned by himself.
The Pei family was originally a first-class man.
After Lu Hou inherited the title, he went to battle to kill the enemy, made contributions, and used his blood to forge his merits and marquis.
The promotion of Pei's family from earl to marquis was all the merits of Lu Hou.
Da Zhou was founded more than a hundred years ago and has entered the middle of the dynasty.
Being a military commander at this time is not comparable to the old guys who found the country. It is very difficult for the generals to rely on military merits.
In the decades before and after, there was only one person from Marquis Lu. Zheng'erba was promoted from earl to marquis by military merits.
Luhou is a real cow, not to brag about it.
Emperor Wen De knew this very well, so he always treated Luhou and the Northwest Army carefully.
The war is here.
How to do?
Watching the Northwest Army helplessly, once again made outstanding achievements. From now on, from the emperor to the court, no one can suppress Luhou.
It is still to send cadres to share the military merits of the Northwest Army to suppress the sharpness of Luhou and Pei Meng.
Everyone in the DPRK knows that if they want to drive Bei Rong away, and even fight against the Bei Rong army, they can only count on the Northwest Army for this difficult task.
The other frontiers are good defensively, but offensively.
The cavalry set up faced the Beirong cavalry, and I wonder if they could insist on three charges.
The cavalry still had to count on the Northwest Army, especially the Sirius Army.
Emperor Wen De was very depressed.
He screened all the military commanders in North Korea and China, and selected ten or twenty military commanders, ready to send them to the battlefield to experience.
But to choose a person to suppress Luhou, who should he choose?
"Zhen Guohou can't use it, Zhu Guo has already come..."
Emperor Wen De was disappointed.
Chang En shared the worries for Emperor Wende, "His Royal Highness cannot be in charge of the army, can he be a supervising army? The supervising army does not control the military, but has the right to restrain the generals, and can be the master of the generals when necessary."
Emperor Wen De frowned and glanced at Chang En, "How much benefit did Gu Jiu give you?"
Chang En was in a cold sweat with fright, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty has shown that the old slave has no benefit of accepting the edict. If the old slave has a lie, he will be struck by thunder and five horses."
"Confiscate his benefits, why do you speak for Liu Zhao."
"The old slave sees your majesty's distress, and wants to share the worries for your majesty. The old slave is dull, the old slave deserves to die!"
Chang En lifted his palm and hit him on the face once and again.
Soon, the cheeks on both sides swelled up high, like purplish red steamed buns.
"enough!"
Chang En stopped his hand and repeatedly thanked Huangen.
Emperor Wende said: "You must remember that you are my person and you can only be loyal to me. If you dare to betray me, I will punish the nine families of Li."
"Old slave abide by the order! Thank your Majesty for not killing."
"Get up!"
"Old slave, thank you Majesty."
