Chapter 123 Why are everyone mute today?

After hearing what Emperor Xia said, all the ministers couldn't believe it, because it had completely subverted their cognition.

Even if the North King is not useless, with the few soldiers in Beijun, it will be difficult to even defend Yancheng.

Now he actually told them that the Northern King not only defended Yancheng, but also killed the barbarian's 300,000 troops! ! !

Who dares to believe this?

At this time, several princes in the court were stunned! ! !

Isn't Ninth Brother the most useless one among them? Hasn't he been drained by wine and sex?

Can he still lead the few soldiers from Beijun to defeat the barbarian army of 300,000?

Is this what a loser like him can do? ? ?

Everyone in the court wondered if they were still dreaming, so they dreamed of such ridiculous things.

The people in the court were all Daxia people. They should have been very happy after hearing such a shocking battle report, but at this time no one in the court was happy.

If everything Emperor Xia said is true and can be confirmed, it means that things will change in Great Xia! ! !

Killing 200,000 barbarians and capturing 100,000 barbarians, this is enough to compare with Emperor Xia's military exploits when he destroyed the Chen Kingdom!

With such great achievements, who dares not to let King Bei become the crown prince?

King Bei has even reached the point where his achievements are so great that he can surpass his master!

At this time, everyone was confused, that is, how did King Bei do it?

Secondly, the ministers were very worried. The Northern King, who had always been regarded as a waste by them, would not really return to the capital and become the prince, right?

In the court, there were the Eighth Prince's faction, the First Prince's faction, and other princes' factions, but there were no officials from the Ninth Prince's faction.

Now even the Chu family officials in the court are members of the Eighth Prince's faction.

As a result, they were told at this time that the Ninth Prince was returning to the capital to become the crown prince! This is equivalent to wiping out the investment of all the ministers in the court.

They will never allow this to happen.

Emperor Xia also saw from the faces of the ministers that they did not believe it, or could not believe it, so he continued: "According to the intelligence from all parties, the King of the North has at least 50,000 heavy cavalry. A few days ago, the King of the North sent five thousand heavy cavalry south and brought all his wives, concubines, and children back to Yancheng."

As soon as Emperor Xia said these words, the court exploded again.

Five...fifty thousand heavy cavalry? ? ?

How can this be! ! !

How could King Bei have so many heavy cavalry in his hands! ! !

How could the ministers not know what the heavy cavalry represented?

When Xia Taizu was conquering the world, three thousand heavy cavalry directly chased and killed other people's one hundred thousand peasant army.

There are only 20,000 heavy cavalry in the entire Great Xia. Heavy cavalry requires a lot of resources. Each cavalry requires at least three excellent horses.

In addition to horses, the most important thing for heavy cavalry is armor.

A set of armor for heavy cavalry may not be made by a craftsman in a month. It will take at least three months.

The King of the North has only been in Beijun for a long time, how could he have 50,000 heavy cavalry!

What is the concept of having 50,000 heavy cavalry?

This means that now the Northern King directly declares his separation from Daxia and establishes himself as the emperor. There is no problem!

And if the Northern King really has one hundred thousand barbarian captives, it means that even if the court knows that he may have rebellious intentions, the court still dare not do anything to him at this time. Instead, it can only focus on appeasing him.

It stands to reason that King Bei doesn't have the time or resources to build 50,000 heavy cavalry. So where did his heavy cavalry come from?

Since multiple sources of intelligence have confirmed the existence of these 50,000 heavy cavalry, this problem is huge.

When the Northern King's 50,000 heavy cavalry were revealed, it meant that he not only had the ability to rebel, but also had the desire to rebel.

In the territory of Daxia, especially when the Emperor of Xia reduced vassals every year, a vassal king built 50,000 heavy cavalry. Isn't this an attempt to rebel?

At this time, Zhao Wenhan couldn't bear it anymore, and he asked directly: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, is it true that the King of the North has 50,000 heavy cavalry?"

Emperor Xia said indifferently: "This information was sent back by the Wang Governor, and it was also confirmed by my shadow guard."

Hearing this, the ministers took a deep breath.

So, is this thing true?

Does the King of the North really have 50,000 heavy cavalry?

No wonder the previous battle report said that the North King led Beijun soldiers to kill 200,000 barbarians in one night!

But having said that, it is absolutely impossible for Beijun to simply have 50,000 heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry has an overwhelming advantage when fighting infantry, especially peasant soldiers, but when fighting barbarian cavalry, the advantage is not obvious, and it may even be at a disadvantage.

Because the heavy cavalry is more clumsy than the barbarian light cavalry, it is not easy to catch up with the barbarian light cavalry. If the barbarian soldiers want to escape, it should be easy.

If the battle report that King Bei led his soldiers to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers is true, it must mean that King Bei has something on his hands.

As for whether this thing is a weapon or an army, it's hard to say.

At this time, the court fell into deathly silence again.

It stands to reason that someone should be impeaching the King of the North and wanting to rebel at this time, but the timing of the appearance of the Beijun heavy cavalry was really perfect, and it happened to be that the barbarian army of 300,000 was moving south.

Someone else, King Bei, led the soldiers of Beijun to defeat the barbarians. Now you jump out and say that King Bei intends to rebel. Isn't that asking for death?

Who dares to come out and accuse King Bei at this time?

This is the greatest military achievement since the founding of Daxia!

Who can blame King Bei?

Seeing that no ministers were speaking in the court again, Emperor Xia said coldly: "Why, did you not even eat breakfast when you went to court and have no energy to speak? Aren't you usually very energetic? Why are you today? Are all of them mute?"

As soon as Emperor Xia finished speaking, Zhao Wenhan immediately knelt down, then paid homage to Emperor Xia and said: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is brave and good at fighting. He led the soldiers of Beijun to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers and captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers. He is actually the Taizu of Xia. The third person after Your Majesty, His Highness the Ninth Prince has made such a huge contribution and cannot be ignored. However, ordinary things are no longer worthy of His Highness the Ninth Prince's contribution. I sincerely request Your Majesty to allow His Highness the Ninth Prince to return to Beijing and establish His Highness the Ninth Prince. For the prince!"

After hearing what Zhao Wenhan said, some ministers cursed Zhao Wenhan in their hearts. He was really an old fox. He knew clearly that Emperor Xia was young and strong, but he had been reluctant to establish the crown prince because he was afraid that the crown prince had other ideas.

Zhao Wenhan jumped out to establish the crown prince at this time. He had no intention of letting King Bei become the prince. He was simply disgusting Emperor Xia and sowing the father-son relationship between Emperor Xia and King Bei.

After hearing Zhao Wenhan's words, Emperor Xia did not speak immediately. He glanced at the ministers in the court.

He is waiting.

Wait for the other person to speak.

At this time, Lin Gaoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly understood what Emperor Xia meant. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, although His Highness the Ninth Prince has made great achievements, I believe that the establishment of a crown prince is a serious matter and should not be so hasty."

Emperor Xia still didn't speak, and his eyes fell on the princes in front of him.

At this time, several princes were sweating profusely and did not dare to breathe.

Especially the eighth prince Lu Shuyun.

He has completely woken up.

He finally knew why every assassination attempt he made failed, and he finally knew who had bloodbathed his mansion.

Their ninth brother is so well hidden!

Everyone in Daxia was deceived by him!
