Chapter Thirty-Nine The clown turned out to be me
Xijing City·Jinwang Mansion
"The commander of the Northern Expedition...will it be the ninth brother?"
In the Jin Palace, Zhao Sheng murmured to himself, as if he had never come back to his senses from the appointment of the commander of the Northern Expedition until now.
Until this moment, he could still clearly recall the scene when his father appointed the commander of the Northern Expedition...
"I was appointed Prince Qin Zhao Zheng as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition! Liangzhou Chief Gongsun Jifuzhi will be appointed as the army of 300,000! All the troops, civilians, weapons, food and fodder in Liangzhou will be uniformly allocated by the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition!"
After saying that, the father stood up tremblingly, his eyes bent on his ninth brother Zhao Zheng, and he said on the spot with anticipation.
"In this battle, you don't want to conquer cities and territories. You just need to coerce Dali and force him to retreat! If Dali finally retreats, the King of Qin will make a contribution and will be the first to do his best!"
That scene at that time was so envious in the eyes of King Zhao Sheng of Jin.
He could even hear the implication of his father's words, which was almost obvious to tell the King of Qin that he should not be greedy for merit and advance in this battle, but to focus on his own safety.
For this northern expedition, just by forcing Dali to withdraw his troops, it is considered to have achieved the strategic goal, and this plan should be used as the first contribution!
The deep love between words is uncovered and completely beyond words!
Who in the palace is not the human spirit? How can you not hear what His Majesty the Holy Emperor mean?
Perhaps when Prince Qin proposed this plan that day, His Majesty the Holy Emperor had already designated Prince Qin as the best candidate in his heart.
But who expected that General Ji Bo would make a move, but His Majesty the Holy Emperor didn't have to say much, so he had to stand the matter for the time being.
However, the final position of commander was almost tailored for Prince Qin, and he never left even a chance to others.
This is obvious only by appointing the son of Gongsun Yue, the Minister of War, who is currently the commander of Liangzhou, as the deputy general, as the assistant Prince Qin.
No one in the court knew that Gongsun Yue, the Minister of War, had a close relationship with Prince Qin, and Gongsun Yue's favorite granddaughter, the Seventh Princess Zhao Yun, was with Prince Qin every day and had a deep relationship.
As for Gongsun Yue's son Gongsun Ji, he once served as General Weihu to guard the border of Hulao, and Hulao Pass happened to be located in the Qin Dynasty.
So Gongsun Ji, who assisted Prince Qin in opening up the Hulao Business Road, naturally had a close relationship with Prince Qin and was very familiar with him.
For Prince Qin, this expedition was undoubtedly due to his advice. Otherwise, he would have no military experience, so how could he be able to command the army again?
However, His Majesty the Holy Emperor's arrangement ordered Gongsun Ji, the commander of Liangzhou, who was already acquainted with Prince Qin, to assist Prince Qin as a deputy general.
In this way, Prince Qin's only lack of military weakness was made up for.
As a descendant of the general, Gongsun Ji had been practicing military tactics since childhood and grew up in the army. In particular, he served as the general of Weihu as the country to guard the border, and was gradually promoted to the position of Liangzhou Duwei, in charge of the troops of a state.
He was in charge of the troops in Liangzhou and was proficient in military tactics and military affairs. With him as the assistant general, he even gave double insurance for this expedition, so it was almost impossible for any accidents to occur again.
Therefore, when he heard that Gongsun Ji was going to war together as the deputy general, General Ji Bo's heart suddenly became cold.
His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Love has long wanted Prince Qin to exercise, so he still insists on getting involved. Wouldn't he be bored?
So when Prince Qin received the order and took over the military talisman, Ji Bo did not say anything more, but just retreated in shame.
At this point, the position of Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition was settled!
Prince Qin Zhao Zheng won the power of unified allocation of a total of 300,000 troops in one fell swoop, and had the power to mobilize troops, horses, food and fodder directly in Liangzhou, making every effort to make all preparations for the northern expedition to Dali!
As a result, the power of Prince Qin Zhao Zheng began to expand rapidly. In terms of power alone, he had an army of 300,000, and almost no prince could compare with him!
Overnight, the situation in Dagan Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes!
As the most powerful vassal king at present, Prince Qin can be said to have made all the emperor brothers feel a great challenge!
Especially King Zhao Sheng of Jin, who was determined to be the throne, felt a sense of anxiety and crisis in his heart.
If the ninth brother, who holds such power, really participates in the battle for the throne...
But who else can compete with it?
Fortunately, my ninth brother is dedicated to his duties, but he has never had such ambition!
Besides, in this turmoil, I gained the support of the Dahang Princess and the Dahang Royal Family, and even got a county in vain!
At that time, just after marrying the Thirteenth Princess of the Great Street, you can choose any county in the rich Great Street Country!!
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but smile happily, but the little fear that had just arisen, disappeared without a trace.
"I don't know how the Thirteenth Princess looks like? What's her personality?"
For a moment, Zhao Sheng really became a little expectant of the queen he was about to marry.
Although the big messenger's chest was slapped with a shocking sound, he said that the Thirteenth Princess was so beautiful, how she was so beautiful, how she was so embarrassed about the moon, and how she was a lady from a noble family.
But as the saying goes, Wang Po sells melons and boasts on her own. Could it be that this great messenger can still talk about the bad things about her own princess?
But I heard that the Queen of Daxing was known as the number one beauty in Daxing back then, and the daughter she gave birth to should be nowhere near?
As he was guessing in his heart, Zhao Sheng heard the Prime Minister Fang Chang suddenly speak, and his thoughts were interrupted.
"King, from the perspective of the minister... I'm afraid that the reason why General Ji was defeated was because of the unreasonable involvement of the marriage!"
The Prime Minister of China was worried and suddenly said with concern.
"Ah? The position of commander of the Northern Expedition...but what is the involvement in the marriage?"
Zhao Sheng was puzzled and immediately said in confusion.
"Your Majesty, think that if General Ji is appointed as the commander of the Northern Expedition, and you are married to Daxing, you will be in such a two-pronged approach... Will the Ji family, who is already a big tree, have a strong influence, and even His Majesty the Holy Emperor will probably be slightly afraid!"
As soon as this statement was spoken, Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly.
"What I said in the future is so yes... I didn't expect that I was implicated by me, which made Brother Bo miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"
When he thought about it, he suddenly felt it was reasonable. If the Ji family, who was already extremely prosperous, continue to be strong, it would be normal for him to be afraid of the eldest and fourth brothers, even if the father was slightly uneasy.
No wonder, in the end, the father would rather choose the ninth brother who was not in military affairs than choose the more suitable general Ji Bo.
"Ah... the misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and the blessing is the basis of bad fortune..."
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sigh, but he could only accept the matter helplessly.
In any case, compared to the great brother and the fourth brother who gained nothing, I still made a lot of money in this round of court turmoil.
"But His Majesty the Holy Emperor... why is he afraid of Ji, but he never fears Prince Qin?"
However, compared to King Zhao Sheng of Jin, the Prime Minister Fang Chang, had a bitter face. He couldn't figure out why His Majesty the Holy Emperor allowed Prince Qin to be so arrogant, but he turned a blind eye to it.
"Help~! Is this a matter of saying? How can the ninth brother's mother tribe be compared with the hundred-year-old Ji family?"
Zhao Sheng shook his head repeatedly without thinking about it, obviously he was completely confused about it, and even thought it was a matter of course.
After all, how could the century-old Ji family be compared with a mere merchant?
"Master, this..."
Just as I was about to speak, I seemed to be about to say something, but I heard a loud singing suddenly coming from outside the hall!
"Your Majesty's imperial order! King Xuan Jin immediately went to the palace to meet him!"
In an instant, Zhao Sheng and Zhao looked at each other just now, but both saw the incomprehension in each other's eyes.
Why did the father suddenly... he summon him alone?
With doubts, Zhao Sheng hurriedly set out and headed straight for the palace.
...
Taiji Palace·Harmony Palace
"Sons, please see the father!"
Zhao Sheng bowed respectfully, then stood aside, waiting for his father to inquire.
However, in the midst of the light, I suddenly glanced at the figure of the national teacher Bu Li, and then I felt happy and realized that it was a matter of discussing with me and having a marriage with a big deal.
"Xuanji, please tell me."
The Tai Chi Holy Emperor seemed a little tired, and immediately waved his hand and said casually.
The national teacher Bu Li immediately received the order, and immediately looked at His Highness King Jin, saluted and said.
"Your Highness, I have recently prepared for the marriage between Your Highness and Princess Daxing. Everything went well, but I still found out today..."
As he said that, Bu Li suddenly paused, but Zhao Sheng was anxious and immediately asked.
"I dare to ask the national teacher, but what did you find?"
When Bu Li heard this, he sighed first, and then said helplessly.
"But I found that your highness and the Thirteenth Princess are incompatible. I'm afraid... it's difficult to get married!"
Zhao Sheng was stunned, but he had not reacted for a long time!
What does this mean?
Why did it suddenly... the eight characters are not in line?!
Zhao Sheng was really unbelievable for a moment, so he quickly looked at his father and asked him for help.
"Father! Then what should I do about this matter??"
When Tai Chi Holy Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, sighed and said.
"Ah... At this point, I'm afraid the King of Qin will be reluctant to take on this important task..."
Zhao Sheng was stunned when he heard this, but he was unable to speak for a long time.
At this moment, his mind was mixed, but in the end he had only one thought left.
"It turns out that the clown is actually me..."
...
"In the 21st year of Shenwu, Qian Xing married.
At that time, King Sheng of Jin and King Zheng of Qin were both elegant and Princess Xing admired the reputation of King Qin for a long time and wanted to marry him.
The King of Jin was unwilling to bribe his envoys and wanted to replace him.
However, the eight characters are different, and there will be no result in the end.
The wedding of the Later Qin King and Princess Xing was a marriage made for heaven.”
