Chapter 192 Don’t blame me

But this guess was denied by him as soon as it came out.

If my father was worried that I would be too powerful, he would definitely try every means to guard against me and reduce my power.

Since ancient times, all emperors have used this method.

But now my father not only did not reduce my power, but let me preside over all military and political affairs in the North.

Not only that, he also gave me the military power to form a new army.

So the guess that I was worried about my achievements was not very correct, because it was completely unreasonable.

Since he was not worried that I would be too powerful, why did my father let people block such an exciting victory?

He couldn't figure it out...

Lu Fan was too lazy to think about it, and continued to look at Jiang Shang on the side, motioning him to continue.

Jiang Shang nodded and continued: "Your Majesty cannot not understand the significance of this great victory, but he still banned this news. Obviously, Your Majesty has other arrangements."

Jiang Shang knew that Lu Fan had guessed who was covering up the news, so he didn't hide it at this moment and said it directly.

"It's just that the arrangement of His Majesty cannot be told to the lord, so someone sent such a secret decree as a compensation to the lord."

"Compensation?" Lu Fan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he kept repeating these two words.

"Yes, it should be compensation." Jiang Shang nodded first, and then said: "Of course, this is just my guess, one of my guesses."

"The first guess?"

"Yes, this is my first guess, it is His Majesty's compensation to the lord."

After saying this sentence with great certainty, Jiang Shang pondered for a while and continued: "In addition, His Majesty did not use the imperial decree, but used the secret decree to compensate the lord. Obviously, he did not want others to know."

"So my second guess is that there should be some problems inside Daqian. The known legions are all in the open. If there is any action, it will be known to everyone.

Therefore, His Majesty used the secret decree to allow the lord to expand the Zhenbei Army or form a new legion.

The purpose may be to prepare a secret force to deal with some changes."

After saying the second guess, Jiang Shang did not stop, but continued to tell the story.

"In addition to these two points, the reason why His Majesty issued a secret decree to let the lord expand the army must be to deal with the counterattack of the Tianwu Dynasty."

"The Tianwu Dynasty suffered such a big loss this time, and it will never give up.

In the short term, due to internal conflicts, the Tianwu Dynasty will not take any action.

But this internal conflict will definitely be resolved, so the Tianwu Dynasty will still invade, and the next invasion will be more fierce.

Other legions in Daqian cannot be mobilized, or His Majesty does not want to mobilize.

So it is very necessary to form a new legion. This is my third guess."

Jiang Shang said three guesses in one breath, which immediately convinced Lu Fan.

Worthy of being Jiang Ziya.

I thought hard and didn't think of the intention of my cheap father to issue a secret decree.

But Jiang Shang not only had a guess, but also three guesses in succession.

Although it was just a guess, these three guesses were probably true.

Lu Fan was secretly shocked, and Gu Qing looked at Jiang Shang with surprise and awe that could not be concealed.

When he was at the General's Mansion in Beimang Pass, he judged that Jiang Shang was very unusual from Lu Fan's attitude towards him.

After listening to Jiang Shang's analysis and speculation, he finally knew why Lu Fan valued Jiang Shang so much.

At the same time, he was convinced by Jiang Shang.

Judging the intention of Emperor Qian from the content of the secret decree alone, this ability should not be underestimated.

At this time, Jiang Shang's face became slightly more solemn, and he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, in addition to these three guesses, I have another guess, but this guess is not good for you."

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of Lu Fan and Gu Qing, and also made Lu Fan frown.

"Not good for me... Tell me, how is it not good?"

Jiang Shang did not keep the secret, and said directly: "Military power is extremely important to your majesty, and it will never be easily divided, even if it is divided to the lord, the prince."

"If it is an open imperial decree, there is naturally no problem, but this time it is a secret decree passed to the lord."

At this point, Jiang Shang's expression became more solemn.

"If the lord successfully formed a new legion or expanded the Zhenbei Army, the civil and military officials would definitely impeach the lord for the crime of rebellion. At that time, the lord would be very passive."

After these words came out, Lu Fan's face looked a little ugly.

He had thought about this when he first received the secret order, but he quickly suppressed it.

After all, this secret order was sent by his cheap father.

But at this moment, after Jiang Shang expressed this concern again, he couldn't ignore this problem.

The royal family is ruthless.

For the emperor, the most important thing is his own rights and the stability of the country.

In order to maintain his own rights and the stability of the country, everything can be sacrificed.

If the civil officials and military generals impeached him for the crime of rebellion, how should the cheap father deal with it?

If he ignored it, it would be equivalent to telling others that they could also secretly annex, so there would be too many rebellions.

But if the cheap father agreed to let the civil officials and military generals convict him, wouldn't he become a scapegoat?

He didn't need to think about it to know that if the civil officials and military generals really impeached him for the crime of rebellion, the cheap father would be furious and punish him.

Because my father would never allow anyone to have the idea of ​​rebellion, nor would he allow anyone to secretly station troops.

In this way, I might become the chicken that is killed to scare the monkeys.

After thinking this through, Lu Fan took a breath of cold air.

Too cruel.

Could it be that my father wanted to deliberately harm me, so he came up with such a method.

This is not compensation for me, it is clearly harming myself and digging a hole for myself.

However, after these thoughts flashed through Lu Fan's mind quickly, a trace of coldness and fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Whether it is compensation or digging a hole, since I have been given such a secret order, I can't blame myself."

Just as Lu Fan made a decision in his heart, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

[Ding, triggering the side quest: forming a new legion; quest rewards: 300,000 sets of new armaments, dragon and tiger body forging technique, four-elephant killing battle formation. ]

[Ding, do you want to accept the task? ]

Listening to the triggered task, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This mission reward is really thoughtful."

Although recruiting people is difficult, it can be solved. On the contrary, armaments are a bit difficult.

After all, he doesn't like ordinary armaments, he can't afford elite armaments, and he doesn't have the resources to forge them.

The mission that is triggered at the moment solves this big problem.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan didn't hesitate at all and said in his heart: "Accept the mission!"

If you don't accept such a thoughtful mission, you will be struck by lightning.

Just when Lu Fan accepted the mission, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Lu Chuan's roar came from outside...
