Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 422 Standing, court dispute

As the person involved, Ye Huan was much calmer than others.He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Ye Jing with a strange light, as if he understood everything.

For a moment, the hall became silent.

Yuan Meng glanced at Ye Jing and saw that he was calm, so he said to Ye Huan: "Fifth Prince, why don't you accept the decree to thank you?"

Ye Huan took two steps forward, smiled lightly, knelt down and raised his hands above his head, and said in a deep voice, "I obey the order."

Yuan Meng handed the imperial decree to Ye Huan, then looked at Manchu civil and military officials, and said, "Your Majesty has explained that if there is any disagreement on important matters, you can go to Detian Palace to play at any time."

"The ministers wait to obey the order!" All the ministers took the order.

Yuan Meng looked at Ye Huan, took two steps back, and invited him up the jade steps: "Fifth Prince, Your Majesty said that the affairs of Shenyue Kingdom will be handled by you."

Ye Huan frowned slightly, looked at Ye Jing opposite, and said, "Fourth brother, what do you think about the matter of Shenyue Kingdom?"

Ye Jing raised her eyes lightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Father let you deal with it, it is recognition of your ability, you just let go, don't worry about anything."

Ye Huan looked at Ye Jing steadily, then nodded solemnly, turned his gaze back to the ministers, and said, "Your lords must have learned about the Tiandan Pass. This morning, there was the latest news from over there." According to the news, the 30 troops led by the crown prince have already launched an attack on Ziyue Pass of the Shenyue Kingdom, and the battle is fierce, with serious casualties on both sides."

Ye Huan's news was already very well-informed, and as soon as this statement came out, everyone started discussing again.

Shen Lanfeng was expressionless, and did not participate in any whispering, and said: "Although His Royal Highness's move is a bit rash, it is a good thing for Yutian. If Shenyue Kingdom can be destroyed in one fell swoop, Yutian's territory can be expanded." Expand to the largest in the world!"

After Shen Lanfeng finished speaking, there was a gasp in the crowd.

For any Yu Tianren, such impassioned words are extremely provocative.Who doesn't want their country to be the strongest?Who wants to be a member of a country that is bullied by others?

Although Ye Hao's actions did not comply with the rules, but from another perspective, he was also doing it for Yu Tian, ​​so it was much easier to accept.

"What Lord Right said is very true. Yutian has been silent for many years, and there should be some movement, otherwise other countries will think that Yutian is easy to deceive!" Rong Wuhou said suddenly, expressing his attitude.

Marquis Rong Wu was also a military commander, and these years of stability and peace had already sharpened his edge. At this time, when he learned that Yutian sent troops, he felt an inexplicable impulse and excitement.

Shen Lanfeng nodded lightly, looked at the other courtiers, his eyes were menacing and seductive, and finally fell on General Xu.

At the same time, the eyes of some irrelevant courtiers also fell on General Xu.Although their official positions are not high, their eyesight is nothing to say. After all, those who can enter the court as officials are not fools.

General Xu looked troubled, looked at Ye Huan and Ding Wang, then at Shen Lanfeng and Rong Wuhou, he was in a dilemma for a while.

Now that the emperor is sick on the couch, whether he can get up or not is still a mystery, he has to make a choice.

Marquis Rong Wu didn't participate in any factional disputes originally, he probably had his own plans, after all he had a daughter who was a concubine in the palace, and he also had a five-year-old eighth prince.But now that the emperor suddenly fell ill, he was forced to make a choice.

Shen Lanfeng is backed by the prince, and now he has 30 soldiers and horses as his backing. It is indeed very wise for Rong Wuhou to choose the prince's side.

But what about him?Although my daughter also gave birth to a prince this year, she is too young to have any hope.If he made a wrong step, the glory of the Xu family for more than a hundred years might be lost in one day.

For a long time, North Korea and China were mainly divided into two factions.One is led by Shen Lanfeng, who fully supports his nephew Ye Hao.The second is led by King Ding, who desperately supports the fifth prince Yehuan.

King Ding is in charge of 20 troops in Gyeonggi, and Ye Huan has accumulated a lot of power over the years, and he has the strength to compete with the prince, and he is superior to the prince in terms of talent and strategy.

Sometimes, with one careless move, everything is lost!

General Xu looked at some courtiers with low official positions, and suddenly felt a little envious of them who didn't need to express their position.Because of their position, they cannot change the overall situation.

Suddenly, General Xu looked at Chu Qingzhou beside him and said, "I don't know Master Chu, what do you think?" Chu Qingzhou is the most valued by the emperor among the younger generation of courtiers. The emperor has been elected as the next empress.

Chu Qingzhou's position is absolutely correct.

Chu Qingzhou looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his eyes. He smiled calmly, looked at General Xu and said, "If the crown prince dispatches troops privately, if it is serious, it is a crime of treason! General Xu doesn't know about this? ?”

General Xu was startled, cold sweat rolled down his back, he couldn't speak for a while.Did Chu Qingzhou choose the fifth prince?
Chu Qingzhou turned to look at Ye Huan, and said, "Since His Majesty has chosen the fifth prince as the agent of the government, I will naturally assist with all my strength."

Ye Huan smiled slightly, bowed his hands to everyone, and said modestly: "Ye Huan is inexperienced, please give me some advice."

"Fifth Prince, you are being polite." Everyone returned the salute.

Ye Jing glanced at Ye Huan, walked down the jade steps, and stood quietly by the side, watching everything quietly with the attitude of a bystander.

Ye Huan stood on the jade steps, Yuan Meng moved a chair for him, but he refused to take a seat, and just stood there to discuss with the ministers.

Time went by bit by bit, and the expressions of the crowd went from being humble at the beginning to being serious and cold at this moment, and the tension in the air instantly rose, as if it was about to suffocate.

"Fifth Prince, you are just taking power for the first time, and you are thinking of attacking your own brother!" Shen Lanfeng's face was stern, and his words were so fierce that he almost pointed at Ye Huan's nose.

Ye Huan said indifferently: "Master Shen, this prince is only acting according to the law. The prince's elder brother mobilized troops without authorization, which is already a big treason, and this prince acts as an agent of the government. What's wrong with ordering him to return to the court immediately?"

"Did you really order him to return to court? You are the escort! And what will happen along the way, the fifth prince must be very clear!" Shen Lanfeng's eyes were as cold as a knife, full of sternness, and he did not hesitate at all whether he was inappropriate.

Ye Huan didn't argue with him too much, but looked at the officials and said, "Your lords also think that what Ye Huan did was wrong?"

King Ding was the first to answer: "The fifth prince is decisive, and I don't think there is any problem. In the name of patrolling the river, the prince secretly went to Tianxianguan first, and sent troops to attack Shenyue last night. Countless soldiers and civilians were killed or injured, this is a serious crime! The fifth prince just ordered him to return to Beijing immediately, what's the problem?"

Shen Lanfeng's face was ashen. He naturally knew that Ye Hao was too eager for quick success, but the matter had come to this point. If he could delay for a while and defeat this, the 30 soldiers would be subdued by him, and everything would be worth it.
