Chapter 467 Emperor Wen’s Examination

The prince carries the sedan chair and the princess leads the way.

Although Emperor Wen waited outside Beilu Pass for more than a day, he entered Beilu Pass smoothly.

Yun Zheng had to sigh with emotion, Emperor Wen's move was really beautiful.

Not only did he declare his sovereignty and status, but he did not fall behind.

After entering Beilu Pass, they followed Yun Zheng and the others to the General's Mansion in Beilu Pass.

Just after sitting in the mansion for a while, Emperor Wen stood up and said: "Lao Liu, follow me to the north gate for a walk!"

Shen Luoyan was secretly worried and immediately said, "My son, please accompany your father for a walk!"

Although Yun Zheng has some martial arts skills, he is definitely no match for Zhou Dai and others!

What if Emperor Wen suddenly gets into trouble and has someone tied up by Yunzheng?

"Fine!"

Emperor Wen saw through Shen Luoyan's thoughts, but did not reveal them.

Soon, they rushed to the gate of the north gate.

Emperor Wen clasped his hands behind his back and looked quietly in the direction of Three Sides City.

After a long time, Emperor Wen asked: "Are all the troops stationed in the three side cities?"

"No."

Yun Zheng replied: "After Beihuan withdrew his troops, the three side cities were damaged to varying degrees..."

With that said, Yunzheng told Emperor Wen about the situation in Sanbian City and why he did not garrison troops.

But he was secretly wondering.

Didn’t Han Jin and the others go back?

Didn't Han Jin and the others tell their father about the situation in Three Sides City?

It doesn’t make sense!

My father has always been thinking about Sanbiancheng. How could he not ask about the situation in Sanbiancheng?

When Emperor Wen heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent.

After a while, Emperor Wen said, "You are indeed better at fighting than me."

Yun Zheng smiled and replied: "My son is suitable to be a general who leads the army. In terms of running the country, my son is far inferior to my father. I am not the material to govern the country."

"Stop talking nonsense to me!"

Emperor Wen turned his head and glared at Yunzheng, "I know you have no intention of rebellion, so you don't need to say it here."

Got it!

Then don’t say it!

Emperor Wen was silent again, then turned to tell Shen Luoyan and Zhou Dai, "All of you, retreat and be on guard a hundred steps away! Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The two took orders.

They could see that Emperor Wen had something to talk to Yun Zheng alone.

After they all retreated, Emperor Wen said to Yun Zheng: "I ordered Xu Shifu to temporarily handle the government affairs for me, and asked the third son to follow Xiao Wanchou to Xuzhou to quell the rebellion of King An. Do you know why I did this?"

Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "Father, are you going to take the exam to become a junior minister?"

"That's it!"

Emperor Wen turned his head again and said, "You can think about it carefully and then answer it after thinking about it."

Got it!

Will you take the exam yourself as soon as you come here?

Is it possible that he still wants to make himself a prince?

Yunzheng smiled helplessly and immediately said: "Other ministers don't know, but I know that with the third brother at the front, let Xu Shifu handle the government affairs, and the supply of food and grass on the front line of Xuzhou can be guaranteed."

Xu Shifu was originally the Minister of Household Affairs.

Xu Shifu is also the core figure of Lao San's faction.

Could Xu Shifu still be stuck with Lao San's food and grass?

Xu Shifu is afraid that he will risk his life to ensure the food and grass on the Xuzhou front line!

"Well, that's a little bit!"

Emperor Wen didn't even look back, "What else?"

Yunzheng thought for a while and then said: "Third brother is in the army, and Xiao Wanchou and his son are watching. Even if the father is not in the imperial city, the prince, third brother, can't make any waves..."

"Go on."

Emperor Wen still didn't look back.

"..."

Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen bitterly, "I don't know about the rest."

"fart!"

Emperor Wen turned his head and scolded angrily: "You traitor has more eyes than a honeycomb. When we were in the imperial city, I was deceived by you. You can see these two things? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I really don't know anymore." Yun Zheng shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.

He did see some of it.

The third child can't make waves. Xu Shifu can't be stupid enough to rebel. Under such circumstances, Xu Shifu can't do his best to show off and handle the court affairs well?

If Xu Shifu takes the opportunity to form a party for personal gain, it will be much easier for his father to clear obstacles for the new emperor in the future.

Even if you see some things, you may not necessarily say them out.

The current situation between father and son is quite good.

No need to add extraneous details.

"Are you afraid that I will be suspicious of you?"

Emperor Wen directly expressed Yun Zheng's concerns.

When Yun Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

You already know this, but you still ask?

Why bother!

"Go on!"

Emperor Wen looked coldly, "You command an army of more than 200,000, and you are so good at fighting. Do you think I won't be suspicious of you just because you are pretending to be stupid? Haven't you done enough bastard things? Are you still afraid that I will be suspicious of you? ?"

"Why aren't you afraid?"

Yunzheng grinned and said: "Father, our current situation is quite good! When you govern the country, your sons and ministers will not care about the throne or the position of the prince. They will guard Shuobei for their father. In a few days, My son will lead his army to continue fighting Beihuan. As long as Beihuan is completely defeated, our northern border of Daqian will be stable for at least several decades..."

"you……"

Emperor Wen suddenly raised his palm.

After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Wen's slap did not fall after all.

"What do you think of Lao Jiu?"

Emperor Wen asked angrily.

When Yun Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Do you want to make Lao Jiu the crown prince?

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "My son doesn't know much about Ninth Brother, so it's hard to say! However, Ninth Brother is still young after all, and my father is now starting to train Ninth Brother, so that he can avoid detours."

Emperor Wen was silent, then stared at Yunzheng with burning eyes, "If Lao Jiu succeeds to the throne, will you rebel?"

"As long as the ninth brother doesn't act recklessly, why would I rebel?"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Father, I have always felt that it would be boring for my family to fight with my own people! If you have the ability, just fight with foreigners! If you fight with foreigners, no matter life or death, you can still be regarded as a national hero, right?"

Emperor Wen stared at Yunzheng's eyes for a long time.

After a long time, Emperor Wen sighed silently.

"Actually, I want to make you the crown prince."

Emperor Wen breathed out a breath, "But what I am most worried about are the clans and clans in the pass. The power of these people is intertwined. Even many important officials in the court are members of clans and clans. If you don't get the support of these people, he will If you succeed to the throne, there will be civil strife in Daqian!"

"We must suppress these clans and clans, but we cannot kill them all at once."

"If all these people are killed, no one will stop talking about anything, and the foundation of our work will probably be shaken!"

"When the time comes, all the tribes in Desert West and even the Yu Kingdom will be eyeing my Dagann..."

The Moxi tribes and the Yu Kingdom are not fuel-efficient lamps either!

They are not moving to Daqian now because Daqian’s national strength is at its peak.

Once Daqian's national power declines, those countries will be ready to take action.

For example, six years ago, when Daqian had just experienced the defeat of Shuobei, the tribes in Moxi were ready to take action.

If Daqian had not ceded territory to seek peace and quickly mobilized forces to return reinforcements, the tribes in Moxi would have taken action against Daqian.

There is also Yu Country. Even though Yu Country is isolated overseas, it is always thinking about the rich land of Daqian.

When he first succeeded to the throne, the Yu Kingdom frequently invaded coastal areas.

Later, it was Xiao Wanchou's plan to wipe out more than 7,000 people from the Yu Kingdom who landed on the coast in the first battle, and the Yu Kingdom finally settled down.

"Isn't this simple?"

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Since my father is worried about those countries, let's take advantage of Daqian's strong national strength and directly mobilize the army from the Fuzhou front line to destroy them first!"

"You think the defenders at Fuzhou's defense line are an eyesore, don't you?"

Emperor Wen was both angry and amused, "Do you want me to hand over all Fuzhou, Juzhou, and Suizhou to you? Or, I can make you the Grand Marshal of the Army, and control an army of millions. You can fight wherever you want." Hey, I will be your money and food officer?"
