The Invincible Sixth Prince

The next day, Emperor Wen, who was still in the court, received the news that Zhao Ji sent someone back.

The tribes in Moxi have already begun to retreat.

But Zhao Ji still doesn’t know the reason.

Zhao Ji thought that the Moxi tribes just wanted to lure them into pursuit, so he did not go to war.

After receiving this news, Emperor Wen and his ministers were both angry and funny.

What's trying to lure them into pursuit?

It was clearly a fire in the backyards of the Moxi tribes, and they had to retreat!

However, Zhao Ji cannot be blamed for this.

After all, Zhao Ji didn't know that Yunzheng had already led his troops to raid Hungu.

With the news of Zhao Ji coming, it also indirectly confirmed Yun Zheng's battle report.

There were people in the court who were happy and some who were worried.

Even if all the elite troops of the Beifu Army were lost, Yunzheng could reorganize the army at any time after surrendering so many enemy troops.

Yunzheng is getting bigger and bigger, and it is now impossible for the court to restrain Yunzheng.

Now that Yun Zheng has not raised his troops to go south, the court should be thankful.

Emperor Wen suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Mu Shun with a dark face, "Draw up the decree and order Xiao Wanchou to lead an army to help Prince Jiaolu suppress the rebellion, and deliver the head of the traitor Guo Si to me in the imperial city!"

Emperor Wen hated Guo Si deeply.

If Guo Si had not rebelled and surrendered to the Moxi tribes, the battle in the southwest would not have been so difficult.

Now that the Moxi tribes have retreated, it’s time to settle the scores!

Mu Shun did not dare to neglect and quickly wrote the edict.

"Okay, let's talk about the traitor Lao Liu!"

Emperor Wen rubbed his head with a headache, "Dear ladies, do you think I should agree to Lao Liu's request and allow him to establish the Northwest Protectorate?"

Emperor Wen's question immediately raised the eyebrows of all the ministers.

This is not something that Emperor Wen is sure of!

Now, Yunzheng is in power in Shuobei and is completely out of the control of the imperial court. Could it be that Emperor Wen didn't let him establish the Northwest Protectorate, so he wouldn't have established the Northwest Protectorate?

Even if he didn't establish the Northwest Protectorate, wouldn't it be the same if he changed it to another name?

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Sixth Prince is currently at the height of his military power. I think it is better to comply with His Highness's invitation as a token of appeasement."

Xu Shifu was the first to speak up.

Anyway, Emperor Wen's approval and disapproval are the same.

He might as well express an attitude first.

"Mr. Jingguo's words are reasonable. This year has been full of disasters for our dynasty. It is beyond the reach of the imperial court. It is better to establish the Northwest Protectorate at the invitation of His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

"Yes! No matter what the relationship between the imperial court and His Highness the Sixth Prince is, this is an expansion of territory! The imperial court should give it a formal recognition so that the land legitimately belongs to me, Dagan!"

"Yes, one code equals one code! His Majesty, His Highness Zhun Liu, is asking me to do this for the benefit of my future descendants!"

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed with the establishment of the Northwest Protectorate, and no one opposed it.

Moreover, there is no point in opposing this matter.

This is opening up territory!

As long as Yunzheng did not establish another country for a day, the land he conquered would nominally belong to Daqian.

Anyone who opposes this may be called a national traitor by those loyal ministers.

Just when everyone was in agreement, Tang Shu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up and said loudly: "I believe that the Holy One can approve the request of His Highness Sixth Prince, but officials at all levels in the Northwest Protectorate should be dispatched by the imperial court!"

"That's wrong!"

An official immediately objected, "Master Tang, do you think His Highness the Sixth Prince will accept officials appointed by the imperial court?"

Tang Shu replied calmly: "If His Highness the Sixth Highness does not accept it, it means that His Highness has a disobedient heart, and the court should make preparations early!"

"If the officials appointed by the imperial court are subdued by His Highness the Sixth Prince, wouldn't that mean they are sending officials to His Highness the Sixth Highness?" Another person objected.

As the man finished speaking, many people nodded.

If the imperial court sends officials there, won't they become meat buns beating dogs?

In the face of everyone's opposition, Tang Shu said calmly: "You can't say that. Is it possible that even though I am a powerful official, there is no official who is loyal to the court? If I send you to go, will you all go to His Highness the Sixth Prince?" "

Lore!

As Tang Shu finished speaking, the officials were immediately speechless.

Tang Shu has said this, who dares to answer the question?

No matter how many people are willing to object, they can only shut up.

Otherwise, if Tang Shu slapped a big hat on him with his backhand, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Emperor Wen frowned, seeming to weigh the pros and cons again.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Wen raised his eyes and looked at Yun Li: "This matter needs to be cautious. I have to think about it carefully! You first draw up a list of appointed officials with the Ministry of Personnel!"

"My son, I obey."

Yun Li happily accepted the order.

Let him and the officials handle this matter, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents?

"Okay, now it's time to talk about how to reward Lao Liu and the Beifu Army."

Emperor Wen sighed softly: "Lao Liu and the Beifu Army have made such great contributions. If the court does not reward them, I am afraid that the people of the world will fight for them..."

After listening to Emperor Wen's words, the ministers also had a headache.

Yes!

For such a great contribution, there is no way that the imperial court would not express it at all!

But Yunzheng now supports his troops and respects himself, how can the court reward him?

"Now that His Highness the Sixth Prince has no reward left, His Majesty can reward His Highness the Sixth Highness's biological mother."

Tang Shu took the initiative to speak again.

When Emperor Wen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Wen nodded: "Then he will make his mother Wang a noble concubine and move her to the imperial mausoleum!"

"Holy Saint!"

All the ministers agreed.

Anyway, Yun Zheng's biological mother has been dead for many years.

It's better to give his biological mother a false name than to reward the powerful Yun Zheng heavily, right?

Emperor Wen thought for a moment and then said slowly: "The marriage between Lao Liu and Princess Gayao has been decided for a long time, but the wedding date has not been decided yet. He ordered the Ministry of Rites to finalize the auspicious date as soon as possible and hold a wedding for them in Fuzhou! "

"In view of Lao Liu's outstanding achievements, I will take the prince to Fuzhou to attend their wedding as a show of favor!"

"Officials of all sizes in the DPRK should prepare a decent gift..."

As Emperor Wen's words fell, all the ministers were shocked.

Emperor Wen and his prince went to Shuobei?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

"Our country has been experiencing repeated wars and disasters this year. Although the plague in the south is now under control, there are still a large number of victims who need relief. It is really not appropriate to hold a wedding for His Highness the Sixth Prince and Princess Gayao at this time..."

"I sincerely ask Your Majesty to postpone the marriage of Princess Gayao and His Highness Sixth Prince, and show mercy to the people!"

"I also sincerely request..."

For a time, all the ministers gave advice one after another.

Da Qianchao has spent enough money this year!

Thanks to the accumulation over the years, although Daqian has not yet reached the point where the national treasury is empty, there are still many places where money will be needed in the future.

If you continue to spend money so lavishly, the national treasury will soon be stretched thin.

Yunzheng and Gayao's wedding is a marriage between the two countries!

No matter how shabby it is, it can't be shabby!

If it were handled by the imperial court, and it was done in Shuobei, it would cost millions of taels of silver.

If this money is used to provide relief to the victims, those victims will be much better off.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Emperor Wen suddenly let out a loud shout and said with a black face: "I don't need money from the treasury! I pay for it myself! At worst, I will sell these items in the palace!"

As Emperor Wen's words fell, the ministers suddenly looked at each other...
