Gao Shaoyi dismissed his entourage and stood next to Prince Ding to salute.
The engagement prince did not say a word, and turned to look at Gao Shaoyi with a look that seemed to be able to see through Gao Shaoyi's heart. Gao Shaoyi's heart was pounding at the moment. He didn't know what the old uncle in front of him wanted to say, and he always felt uncomfortable all over his body.
.
"Are you in favor of moving the capital or not?"
It took about two or three minutes before Prince Ding said this. There were many palace maids and eunuchs walking around, but after seeing the official uniforms on their bodies, they all avoided them. Everyone knew these two people.
They are important officials of the imperial court. The two princes are talking here. If you want to get closer, then use your own neck to test whether the knife of the axe-hand is strong enough.
"Why does uncle speak like this?"
Gao Shaoyi couldn't figure out what his uncle meant, so he could only pretend to be confused for a while. In front of others, Gao Shaoyi might be a calm young man, but when Gao Shaoyi lost his father when he was young, the person in front of him seemed to be his own father, so
Gao Shaoyi always felt a little embarrassed when facing his uncle.
"Do you know the way you asked just now? If your uncle couldn't help it and directly issued the imperial edict to move the capital, do you know what the entire empire would look like? How much impact would your suppressing army suffer?
Really? I know your wings are stiff now, but how big a shadow do you think your wings can have?"
Prince Ding rarely spoke to Gao Shaoyi in such a tone. This was clearly blaming Gao Shaoyi. In fact, in Prince Ding's heart, neither Gao Shaoyi nor the emperor were sensible enough just now, in front of so many court ministers.
Son, the two of you are so tit-for-tat. If Prince Duan hadn't come out to fight with Xini, I'm afraid neither of you would be able to step down.
"I know that the Suppression Army is developing very fast, and many of you don't take the imperial court seriously, but have you ever thought that although the imperial court's strength has declined drastically, after all, the imperial court still controls many more areas than you.
Once the imperial court blocks your recruitment channels, for example, for example, it does not allow anyone to serve as a soldier in the Suppression Army, and someone's family member serves as a soldier in the Suppression Army, the court will immediately arrest the whole family, and with the cooperation of other warlords..."
After hearing what Prince Ding said, Gao Shaoyi's face changed drastically. If the court really did this, it could be said to be the biggest crisis since the establishment of the Suppression Army. The soldiers in the Suppression Army were from all over the country, and some of them were in their own country.
They were recruited from the occupied areas, but some were recruited from all over the country.
If the court really does this, the soldiers in the area they occupy can feel at ease because their families will not be threatened, but the same is not true for soldiers across the country. For the safety of their families, they are likely to leave the town with hatred.
The captive army.
From a small perspective, the Suppression Army will lose some of its outstanding officers and soldiers, resulting in a decline in its combat effectiveness. From a large perspective, these people will not stay in the Suppression Army for a short period of time, and various combat methods
The training methods are almost complete. If they leave from the Suppression Army, they will bring this advanced method to all parts of the country.
Although the weapons and equipment cannot be compared with the Suppression Army, if other aspects are advanced, the Suppression Army's pace of unifying the country will slow down, and it may even bring about a huge crisis. By then, those who fight us will
They are no longer enemies, they are our former brothers.
"You know you're scared?"
For a long time, no one has been able to see the place where the imperial court checks and balances the Suppression Army. Many people say that the Suppression Army spent its own money to form an army and has nothing to do with the court. However, when Prince Ding said this, Gao Shaoyi felt the consequences. It makes my back feel cold. If the imperial court really implements this policy, then the combat effectiveness of the suppressing army will drop by at least 30% overnight.
However, Gao Shaoyi is also a smart man. Prince Ding has always been the cornerstone of the imperial court. He must have thought about this method. The reason why it was not implemented is because the collapse of the suppressing army would not be of any benefit to the imperial court.
The Daqian Empire is now relatively stable, at least maintaining a superficial unity. If something like this happens to the Suppression Army, Gao Shaoyi will definitely disclose such key to the press. The common people have just seen a glimmer of hope in the past two years. , if the imperial court uses conspiracy and tricks to defeat the suppressing army, then the imperial court's credibility will plummet.
Therefore, until the moment of death and death, such a thing will never happen. The court also needs to consider slowly when doing things. Prince Ding said this today, and he also hopes that Gao Shaoyi will not go too far. Once the two sides are in confrontation, The situation is not good for the imperial court and the suppressing army. You are indeed the strongest now, but it does not mean that we have no way to check and balance you.
Prince Ding's words can indeed make Gao Shaoyi retreat, but such a thing can only be used once. It is estimated that starting from tonight, the internal reforms of the Suppression Army will appear. The soldiers recruited in the areas occupied by the Suppression Army In the future, they will definitely become the core force of the suppressive army. As for the soldiers recruited from all over the country, they will probably fall to a lower level.
This may prevent some talented people from being used, but in order not to be controlled by the court, Gao Shaoyi can only choose this way. This is not a good thing for both parties. Although he knows that the court will not use it easily, but As the commander-in-chief of millions of men, any danger must be taken into account, and solutions must be considered.
"Uncle, please clarify."
Gao Shaoyi said speechlessly, it seems that this conflict with the imperial court will end in vain. As long as the emperor does not move the capital, then we can only endure it. In this matter, Gao Shaoyi is indeed unwilling. He wanted to use this incident to let warlords everywhere see clearly that the Suppression Army had the ability to suppress the imperial court, but after a few words from Prince Ding, Gao Shaoyi knew that he could never break up.
"Just give up your palace in the capital and replace your current residence with a palace according to the wishes of the court. The court should give you double compensation, and you can spend your own money to renovate the palace."
Prince Ding said expressionlessly, if Gao Shaoyi did this, it would mean that the confrontation was lost this time. What the court wanted was such a result. Everything Gao Shaoyi did in the court just now was of no use. Maybe I will Gao Shaoyi naturally felt uncomfortable because he had to apologize to others, but how to resolve this matter?
