Many people think it should be King An, because he is the minister of Honglu Temple and has the status of a prince, so it would be most appropriate for him to go.
However, this matter always has a strange atmosphere. This is naturally because the relationship between Xianbei and the Northern Tang Dynasty gradually broke down. Although the Xianbei Kingdom has been replaced by the Su Kingdom, the name of the country can be changed, but the people remain the same.
Xianbei people.
Chu Shoufu saw the clues and gradually understood why the emperor had snubbed the prince in the first place and ordered him to be grounded because the prince was guilty and could easily reject Su Guo's invitation.
Emperor Ming Yuan's foresight should be based on the accuracy and precision of the intelligence, and the accuracy and precision of the intelligence was also based on Hong Lie's planning for several months, so it would definitely not be a celebration.
Mr. Hongye and Hong Liexing had originally set up spies in Beitang, so this scene had to be fake. When they forced the prince to make a rebellion in the palace, the emperor was sacrificing his reputation to protect the prince. If he had discussed it with the prince in advance,
Well, the prince can't do this scene.
Chu Shoufu was also moved by this scheming and sacrifice.
Sure enough, the emperor convened the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter, and among the candidates recommended, Prince An and Prince Rui had the highest voice.
Emperor Ming Yuan did not make a decision. After withdrawing the proposal, Chu Shoufu and Ling Yanyan were left in the imperial study.
"Two dear friends, what do you think?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the list. They also recommended Prince An.
He calmly said: "Your Majesty, I recommend King An based on the secret investigation in the past two months. Xianbei's hidden secrets have gradually surfaced. They have always had contacts with King An. No matter what big move Su Guo has suppressed this time
, they will not hurt King An easily, because we have not uncovered the hidden clue, so they think it has not been exposed, and there will be many times in the future when they want to take advantage of King An."
"Where is the chief minister?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Chu's chief minister and asked.
Chu Shoufu said: "I agree with Master Leng. No matter what the purpose of Su State this time is, it can be predicted that it will definitely not be as simple as a celebration. Prince Rui is suitable. Prince Kerui is not very clear about the situation and is easily controlled by others.
It's just that King An has colluded with Xianbei Hongye. By sending King An here this time, they can legitimately discuss important matters, which is also a hidden danger to us in the Northern Tang Dynasty."
There was deep anger in Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes, "No matter what he is planning, when he comes back from Su, he will seize power and return it to the fiefdom, order people to monitor it closely, and deploy troops around it."
Chu Shoufu bowed, "Then everything will be done in accordance with the emperor's wishes."
He calmly said: "Your Majesty, there is another thing that is worrying, that is, if the relationship between the two countries breaks down this time, or there is a military conflict, but before we have made weapons, Hong Liexing of Su State has already obtained the military map.
If their weapons are manufactured, they will be a great threat to us in the Northern Tang Dynasty. Although we have formed an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty, the generals and their wives of the Zhou Dynasty have gone to the battlefield separately to deal with the war, but we have no arrangements.
"
Emperor Ming Yuan smiled faintly, "You don't have to worry about the close connection with Dazhou. Do you really think that the prince will just be confined in the palace these days? His people have been out and about for a long time, and the military supplies, Fourth Master Leng, have been there three months ago.
Start preparing."
Chu Shoufu was startled, "Really? Isn't the prince in the mansion all the time? After doing these things..." He didn't know? How could he hide it from him? This time, Chu Shoufu really felt that he was old and couldn't see through it.
Even the emperor cannot see through the prince.
"I grounded him and left Jingzhao Mansion just to allow him to completely withdraw from work to deal with these things. Between father and son, there is no need to explain that he knows that the crisis is approaching. After all, he is already a mature prince. However,
The most worrying thing at the moment is the military map. I don’t know if the people he sent out have destroyed the military map. And there is no new military map sent from the Zhou Dynasty. If there is a military map, based on what we have in Northern Tang Dynasty now,
With the financial and manpower, a batch can be made in two months, so why should Su Guo and Bei Mo be afraid?"
