According to the laws of Dali, members of the royal family are not allowed to leave the capital or their own territory at will without the emperor's permission, let alone other countries, even tributary countries.

Goguryeo is nominally a vassal state of Dali, but in the past few years, it has been rioting at the border and plundering people. Anyone can see that it has broken its original agreement, and now it is an enemy rather than a friend of Dali.

Logically speaking, a prince from Dali should not appear on the land of Goguryeo.

Those who break the law, even members of the royal family, will lose some of their original rights.

Therefore, if His Royal Highness Emperor Xin, Prince Yu, leaves his territory without the permission of the emperor, the original obligation of the people of Dali to protect his safety becomes the obligation to assist the government in finding his whereabouts and arresting him.

As for the subsequent sentencing, that is a matter between the emperor and Dali Temple.

It may be a heavy sentence, or it may be just a few words and everything will be fine.

This is the restriction imposed by the emperor on other members of the royal family who have the right to inherit.

However, Di Xin was not only a prince, but also a border general who was given the power to send troops by the emperor.

Having the right to send troops means that as long as he does not rebel, he can lead his troops to leave his territory for reasons such as expanding territory or fighting barbarians.

In other words, he just could not lead his troops into the land of Dali that did not belong to Northern Xinjiang without the emperor's permission, but the land that did not belong to Dali was not within the scope of this restriction.

Therefore, although he was a member of the royal family, his appearance on the land of Goguryeo did not violate the laws of Dali.

There is no violation of the laws of Dali. As a member of Dali, even if he is not from Northern Xinjiang, it is his duty to protect Emperor Xin's safety.

Based on the principle of proximity, although the border officers in the east of Dali could not be mobilized at will, they could send troops to Goguryeo in the name of protecting His Royal Highness King Yu.

Worried not by scarcity but by inequality, Emperor Xin offended most of the generals in other border areas because of his personal expedition.

Except for Northern Xinjiang, the soldiers at other border gates now have some complaints about Emperor Xin, so they are very willing to watch Emperor Xin suffer. It is impossible to expect them to actively support him.

Unless Di Xin was really defeated and chased by the barbarians, expecting them to come to his aid would be worse than seeing whether the sow could climb the tree.

To put it bluntly, since it is an obligation rather than a responsibility that must be shouldered, as long as there is a reasonable reason, there is plenty of room for maneuver. Even if Di Xin is defeated, they can still watch Di Xin die on the excuse of not being able to rescue him, and

No need to bear any responsibility.

But at that time, it was pointed out that Di Xin did not ask for help.

If Emperor Xin, as King Yu, takes the initiative to borrow troops from the eastern border to protect himself, then they can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Military generals may only think about fighting and killing, but for civil servants, the Law of Dali is their tool for eating. It can be said that no one is more familiar with the Law of Dali than them.

Therefore, Di Xin only gave a little mention, and Hou Chengjie found a feasible solution from the laws of Dali.

According to the laws of Dali, as long as Emperor Xin writes a letter in the name of King Yu, then the eastern border must borrow troops to protect His Royal Highness King Yu.

As for what Di Xin would do after getting the troops, as long as he didn't rebel and send them to their death, the eastern border gate would have no right to interfere for the time being.

Therefore, it is feasible to borrow troops from the eastern border to garrison the current city, and the same can be done for the land that will be conquered later.

However, there is a prerequisite for this.

As soon as many officials in the hall became excited, Hou Chengjie poured cold water on them.

He frowned and said, "It's just that, according to the information we have now, with the exception of Goguryeo, the barbarians around Dali have already deployed their troops on the border, ready to go, and are ready to invade the territory of Dali at any time."

"Under such circumstances, the first priority of the border gates should be to defend against barbarian invasion. Even if His Highness writes a letter, they can still refuse to borrow troops from Your Highness on this reason."

"Given the attitude of the border gates towards His Highness, I'm afraid that nine out of ten people will do the same thing."

With a snap, the hall fell into silence for an instant.

The officials who heard Hou Chengjie's words looked at each other in confusion.

Hou Chengjie is right. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Given the dissatisfaction of His Royal Highness Prince Yu with the personal conquest of the border areas, they will push things here and there even if there is no reason, let alone if there is a legitimate reason now.

It is extremely difficult to borrow troops from them.

"Yes, now that the barbarians are sending troops to the border, I'm afraid they won't be willing to borrow troops!"

"What should I do?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a member of the royal family, and they are too bold..."

"Why did we offend so many people during this personal expedition..."

"Then how should we do it?"

"or……"

After the silence, whispers began again in the hall.

But this time, what was revealed in his words was his disapproval of the borrowing of troops.

In their opinion, even if His Royal Highness Prince Yu personally repairs the book, it may not have any effect. In the end, it is necessary to leave some troops to personally garrison it.

If we continue to do this in the future, I am afraid that the best result is to capture Goguryeo, and then King Yu's personal expedition will have to be declared over.

Although the capture of Goguryeo was a great achievement, compared to their original expedition plan, it was more than that.

During the discussion, everyone unknowingly focused their attention on His Royal Highness Prince Yu.

His Highness Prince Yu should also be aware of the situation they knew. With His Highness's intelligence, it is impossible for him to not have thought of the fishy nature of this. But since he still made this suggestion at this time, he should have a solution.

Otherwise, proposing plans that cannot be implemented will only increase worries.

Hou Chengjie obviously understood this better than others, so he did not discuss it with other officials after raising his confusion. Instead, he looked at Di Xin from beginning to end, waiting for His Royal Highness King Yu's answer.

Seeing Hou Chengjie's performance, Di Xin couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

As expected of the candidate highly recommended by Shen Qianhua, he is indeed smart and sharp. I am afraid that he just pointed out the problem to the point of his heart because he was not really confused about it, but to give him some advice and guide him to come up with his own solution.

Di Xin would not go out of his way to express himself deliberately for this reason.

In the past two years, the news that his foundation has been destroyed has been spread outside, and he usually shows a look of loss of vitality and blood. Under such circumstances, the officials in Northern Xinjiang are still loyal to him, which has proved that he has established a good reputation in their hearts.
