Chapter 586: Shangli Palace Discussion

After the discussion was over, Deng Sheng left Deng Hao alone. After everyone left, Deng Sheng said to Deng Hao: "Hao'er, have you ever blamed your father?"

Deng Hao shook his head and said, "My son dare not!"

"I dare not complain, but I have complaints in my heart." Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Father knows that for so many years, you have been blaming your father and mother for pampering Zun'er. Today, regardless of your ideas, he insisted on giving Qianniuwei and Anguowei to Han'er and Yu'er, right!" After that, Deng Sheng stared at Deng Hao's eyes, hoping to see something.

Deng Hao did not dare to look directly at Deng Sheng, and silently lowered his head. Deng Sheng saw this and understood it, and said, "Actually, I am fair to you brothers and others. Qian'er is my only princess. I regard her as a pearl in my hand and naturally love her more. And you five brothers, each of them is the pride of heaven, among the people. The father is very proud to have you such excellent sons. Even if I go down to see my ancestors now, I can still say with confidence that I have not let down my ancestors' entrustment. Not only will I make great Deng stronger, but I will also cultivate excellent descendants for Great Deng, so that Great Deng can be worry-free for a hundred years."

"The father is wise and powerful, far superior to his ancestors, and he should be the first king of Deng!" Deng Hao said in a compliment.

"The No. 1 Lord is just a joke from future generations. I will keep you here today just to say something to you with all my heart to eliminate the grudges in your heart." Deng Sheng said with a smile.

Despite the opposition of the ministers, Deng Sheng resolutely chose to hand over Qianniuwei and An Guowei to Deng Han and Deng Yu, which would naturally make Deng Hao feel dissatisfied. If he did not eliminate the grudges in his heart for their brothers at this time, it would be too late to regret it when a disaster occurred in the future.

Deng Sheng continued, "You are my eldest son and the crown prince of Da Deng. In the future, the entire Da Deng will be handed over to you. What about your brother? I have left all the best things to you, so of course I will compensate others a little. Zun'er and you are brothers of the same cousin. I have given him the favor you do not have. Han'er and Yu'er have neither the trust of the country nor the favor I have. Their dream is to one day be able to command thousands of troops and fight on the battlefield. How can I not satisfy them? So you don't have to worry too much. Han'er and Yu'er grew up with you since childhood and follow your leader. As long as you treat them with your heart, they will not only not become your threat in the future, but will instead be your sharp knife weapon for siege."

After saying that, Deng Sheng walked up to Deng Hao, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Being able to become a brother in this life is a blessing for a hundred generations. We must cherish it. Don't let the affairs of Xianzong (Deng Sheng's father, King Wuzhuang) repeat. I really don't want you to repeat the same mistakes."

Deng Sheng's father, six sons, and the second son died early. The third son, Deng Ju, was killed by Deng Sheng's family for plotting against him. The remaining eldest sons, fourth sons and six sons, also experienced the battle for the throne and the later Deng Ju Rebellion, gradually disappeared from the world. The brotherly relationship of the past has disappeared. Although Deng Sheng later gave many favors to make up for it, he could no longer recover the lost brotherly relationship.

Deng Hao heard this and knelt down and said in tears: "The father is so kind to me. Please redeem the stupidity of my son. It is not until today that I understand, please rest assured that my brothers and brothers will always be there. The old stories of the emperors and uncles will never repeat between us and brothers!"

Deng Sheng was deeply relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "Go and arrange the matters between Feipengwei and Taishanwei well. These are the capitals for you to control the world in the future. Don't let down your father's high expectations for you!"

"Here!" Deng Hao responded, stood up and walked out of Ganyang Palace step by step.

Looking at Deng Hao's departure, Deng Sheng was not sure whether Deng Hao understood what he said just now, but Deng Sheng only thought he understood that Deng Sheng was almost fifty years old and had no energy to cultivate another heir. Although he came from later generations, Deng Sheng also attached great importance to his body, but due to the medical level of this era, despite taking care of himself, Deng Sheng's body still had problems. Deng Sheng didn't know how long he could last. He was still here and could still suppress him. However, once he was not here, where Deng's future would go depends on whether Deng Hao understood.

Deng Hao left Ganyang Palace and returned to Shangli Palace with great thoughts. He found that all the assistant ministers of the East Palace were waiting for him in Shangli Palace.

"See Your Highness!" Everyone saw Deng Hao and quickly saluted. Since being named the crown prince, Deng Sheng made many arrangements in order to let Deng Hao stand alone as soon as possible, and selected the youngest generation of the court to enter the East Palace to assist Deng Hao, including Jiang Wan's second son Jiang Xiong, Zhang Bin's eldest son Zhang Lin, Cui Hao's second son Cui Rong, and Su Hong's youngest son Su Dan.

"Your Highness, after hearing that Your Majesty appointed His Highness the King of Jin and His Highness the King of Wei as the generals of the guard, he rushed over. This matter is a way to cause chaos and is absolutely not advisable. I also ask Your Majesty to persuade Your Majesty to give up this idea for the sake of the stability of the Great Deng Dynasty." Jiang Xiong said.

"Yes, Your Highness, Da Deng finally had such a great situation. With the stability of the country's foundation, the prince led the army. This is a disaster that shakes the country's foundation." Zhang Lin said on the side, and everyone also agreed.

"Stop talking!" Deng Hao was a little upset by everyone and said loudly.

When everyone saw Deng Hao getting angry, they hurriedly stopped talking.

Deng Hao said with a gloomy face: "King Jin and King Wei are all brothers of my palace. They grew up with me. I know their nature better than anyone else. They will never be the ones who are superior. As long as I am in one day, even if they command the world's troops, there will be no thoughts. I don't want to hear you slander King Jin and King Wei in front of me in the future. Do you understand?"

"Here! Please rest assured, Your Highness!" Everyone said hurriedly.

Now, Deng Hao nodded with a smile, and then said, "It is a foregone conclusion that the King of Jin commanded Qianniu Guards and the King of Wei commanded Anguo Guards. Don't say such words in the future. It would be bad if you make King of Jin and King of Wei unhappy. Since you have received the news that King of Jin and King of Wei will be the general of the First Guards, you must also know that Your Majesty has handed over Feipeng Guards and Taishan Guards to this palace. Let's discuss the arrangements of the two guards."

"Your Highness, since Your Majesty has appointed the generals of Feipeng Guard and Taishan Guard to Your Highness, I hope that Your Highness can control these two guards. Then we have selected from the generals who are friends with the Eastern Palace, so that you can ensure your highness's control over the two guards." Su Dan said.

Deng Hao thought it made sense. Since these two guards belonged to him, they should be led by his own people. When he was about to agree, Cui Rong opposed it.

Cui Rong said, "Your Highness, no, although Your Majesty handed over the two guards to Your Highness, he will definitely not want these two guards to become your highness's private soldiers. Moreover, although the generals who are good at being friends with our Eastern Palace are quite capable, most of them have low qualifications and low prestige in the army. Moreover, there are still a large number of veterans in the army now. If Your Highness skips them and directly appoints young generals, it may cause dissatisfaction among the generals in the army and will be unfavorable to Your Highness in the future."

Deng Hao was shocked when he heard this and almost caused a disaster. The person in charge is still Deng Sheng. No matter how anxious he is, he can no longer directly capture the two guards at this time. The prince is the way to cause chaos, and the prince is a taboo in the emperor, let alone, if he offends the generals in the army and leads them directly to Deng Han and Deng Yu, how can he fight against these two younger brothers in the future?

"Cui Qing's words are reasonable, but who do you have a good impression of my East Palace? Over the years, in order to avoid suspicion, I have never interacted with the generals in the army. I really can't think of a candidate at this time." Deng Hao said helplessly. As a prince, if he had a close relationship with the generals in the army, it would easily cause suspicion. Deng Hao knew this well, so he never took the initiative to date the generals in the army.

"Your Highness, there is a candidate for your subordinates." At this time, Zhang Lin, who had been silent, said: "Guan Ling, the General of Yongping Guard, is not very old, but has good abilities. Moreover, he has made immortal contributions in this battle of the Central Plains. Although he lacks qualifications, he is not inferior to other veterans in terms of merit. Moreover, he is the nephew of Guan Yu, the General of Yongping Guard. If His Highness can hold him to the position of General of the Guard, he will not only get Guan Ling, a tiger general, but also gain Guan Yu's favor. In the future, Yongping Guard will definitely follow His Highness's lead."

"Guan Ling? He is indeed a good candidate, but he is just a rising star. He has only been a general of Yongping Guard for a few years and has little experience. He rashly promoted him to the general of the First Guard. I am afraid that the veterans in the army will not be convinced." Deng Hao thought for a while and said, although Guan Ling is very good, he is a junior after all. If he wants to defeat a group of veterans and ascend to the position of general, it is probably difficult for people to convince.

"Your Highness, don't worry!" Seeing Deng Hao's concern, Zhang Lin said: "Guan Sheng, the father of General Guan Ling, had a good relationship with many generals in the army, and Guan Sheng died to save General Yue Yun. Your Highness recommended General Guan Ling, so General Yue would definitely not object. With General Yue here, others would have to accept even if they were not convinced."

In the battle of Changshe, in order to save Yue Yun's life, Guan Sheng blocked the fatal arrow from the former Wei general Wei Bu and died on the battlefield. At this point, Yue Fei and his son took special care of the Guan family, so Yue Fei is likely to support Guan Ling to take office. After all, among the younger generation, Guan Ling is also one of the best.

Deng Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's keep the bell. I will have a good talk with General Yue in the future. Guan Ling is one, is there anyone else?"

After setting the bell, it was only the candidate for the General of the Guard, and there was another person.

Cui Rong thought for a while and said, "Since General Guan Ling can do it, then his subordinates think that General Wudangwei Chang Mao is also a good candidate. General Chang Mao is the son of Chang Yuchun, the general of the chariot and cavalry. He studied under General Feihu Li Cunxiao. He is the best among the younger generation in terms of force. Compared with General Li Pingzhang, the son of General Li Cunxiao, he has made many military achievements in Wudangwei, and is enough to convince the public in terms of ability and contribution."

"There is also General Xue Dingshan!" Jiang Xiong also said: "General Xue Dingshan is the son of General Xue Rengui of Yingyangwei. It is said that General Yue will retreat in the past two years. In the future, he will be General Xue Rengui who will take over the position of General General's General's Office. If he can make good friends with General Xue Rengui, he will not be able to make any trouble with General Jin and Wei."
