The prince came to the Supreme Emperor and bowed respectfully to greet him.
The Emperor praised: "Well done."
The prince did not dare to take any credit: "It's all thanks to the good teachings of Grandpa Huang."
The Supreme Emperor nodded and looked at the Crown Prince with a smile. The Crown Prince couldn't help but feel a little worried, and quietly said: "Grandpa Emperor, what should we do?"
The prince had already seen that the guard camp on the opposite side had retreated in full, and was stepping up its efforts to build a defense line and arrange horse stakes. If they waited until they were fully prepared, it would be difficult to break through.
This stabbing of Emperor Ningkang in the back was quite psychologically stressful for the prince who had been under the control of Emperor Ningkang for so many years.
If Emperor Ning Kang could not be deposed as soon as possible, he would always be worried.
The Supreme Emperor said quietly: "Why, are you so impatient to use swords against your father?"
"My grandson doesn't dare!"
The prince was startled, and quickly knelt down and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson just doesn't want to see his father sink deeper and deeper. He wants to let his father know his way back as soon as possible. He has no intention of murdering his father."
"Get up."
The Supreme Emperor said: "Don't underestimate your father."
"He dared to attack me this time, so he obviously made a lot of preparations.
In addition to these people on the mountain, who knows how many secret hands he has left outside the mountain.
If you want to make him find his way back, you can't do it with more than 10,000 to 20,000 horses that you haven't completely mastered yet.
Just wait, I have already sent out more than ten imperial edicts, and the fastest troops and horses should be able to arrive in less than a day."
Let’s not talk about the fact that the Supreme Emperor has been in power for fifty years. Let’s just say that when he was able to ascend the throne, the country had not been established for a long time, and there were internal and external troubles. The bloodshed he experienced at that time was not comparable to that of today’s peaceful world.
He was confident that in terms of imperial skills and political methods, Emperor Ning Kang could not match him in flattering him. This time, it was just a calculation that allowed him to gain the upper hand for a while.
However, he also knew that since Emperor Ning Kang dared to take action, there was no way he would not do anything in the capital.
There are also two large camps outside the city, and I don't know what the situation is at this time.
Therefore, although the Supreme Emperor tried to obtain imperial edicts for both the capital and the northern and southern camps, he did not have high expectations for these places.
His main expectation is still outside Gyeonggi.
Juyongguan in the west, Shanhaiguan in the northeast, and even the places beyond these passes...
In the years since he abdicated, although he gradually handed over the power to Emperor Ningkang, he still kept a close eye on military power.
This can be seen from the fact that seven years later, among the six old camps of the Imperial Guard, only one commander was promoted by Emperor Ningkang.
Under normal circumstances, Emperor Ningkang did not dare to interfere with military power because he knew that it would lead to his dissatisfaction and control.
It's just that the Supreme Emperor still didn't expect that Emperor Ning Kang secretly had such a foundation.
Just now, he personally came forward and exposed Emperor Ningkang's conspiracy, just to intimidate Emperor Ningkang and make him defeat him without any attack.
But he didn't expect that Emperor Ning Kang had such control over the Protector's Camp and the Pro-Military Camp. His appearance hardly caused any commotion in the two Imperial Guard Camps.
This is one of the reasons why he said "Don't underestimate your father."
The majesty of the Supreme Emperor has been accumulated in everyone's heart for a long time, so the Crown Prince did not have any objections to the Supreme Emperor's arrangements. He honestly followed the Supreme Emperor's instructions and surrounded Emperor Ningkang's palace.
"By the way. It's your first time to personally take charge of the army. It's not appropriate to take charge of too many troops.
You can keep the men and horses in the Beijing Camp as a training exercise for you. Let others command the several thousand troops in the Infantry Camp."
"Shi Ding..."
"The end will be here."
The Emperor's words seemed to be a discussion, but in fact they were unquestionable orders.
The prince's heart thumped, and he looked at the majestic generals who came out from behind the Supreme Emperor with an ugly look on his face.
"Why, you don't want to?" The Supreme Emperor's expression became dangerous.
The prince was slightly frightened and suddenly became alert.
Yes, at this time, the total number of soldiers and horses on the mountain and down the mountain was only thirty or forty thousand, but he had more than half of them.
If he were the Supreme Emperor, I'm afraid he would be worried that he would be just like his father...
Thinking of this, a thought that I shouldn't have suddenly flashed through my mind... But I was not stupid at all. I immediately concluded that there was basically no possibility of success, so I immediately said: "My grandson doesn't dare. What Grandpa Huang said is that my grandson is still alive."
He is young and lacks experience, so he really does not have the ability to command many troops.
It's just that on the Jingying side, although the traitor Chen Zhao and his lieutenant were eliminated, Sun'er was not completely sure of taking control of the Jingying.
Why don't the emperor let Shi Hou command the troops in the Beijing camp... Mr. Shi is extremely capable and has outstanding military exploits. I believe he can rectify the troops in the Beijing camp as quickly as possible."
Although the infantry camp only has seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, the Beijing camp and the Beida camp have more than ten thousand soldiers and horses.
But first of all, there are many of his people in the infantry camp, and he has a high degree of control over the infantry camp. On the other hand, in terms of combat effectiveness, he does not think that the more than 10,000 men and horses of the Beijing camp can compare with thousands
Well-equipped Praetorian Guards.
However, the Supreme Emperor did not discuss it with him: "Since it is an experience, it will naturally be somewhat difficult. Do you not even have the confidence to lead and integrate such a small number of troops?"
"Of course I have a grandson! My grandson obeys the emperor's grandfather's orders."
The prince smiled bitterly, how could he admit that he was incompetent in front of the Supreme Emperor? Let alone admit it, he could not even make the Supreme Emperor suspicious.
The Supreme Emperor nodded with satisfaction, called the prince over, patted the grandson's hand and said: "Don't worry, your father has hurt my heart so much, so naturally I won't forgive him easily.
Among the many children and grandchildren, you are the most well-behaved and sensible one. I have no and no other choice besides you, do you understand?"
The prince was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed solemnly: "My grandson understands. Don't worry, Grandpa Huang, your grandson will definitely live up to Grandpa Huang's high expectations!"
The Supreme Emperor then touched the prince's head.
He didn't lie to the prince.
I dare not say that among the many children and grandchildren, at least among the sons of Emperor Ning Kang, the prince was the closest to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Over the years, he has also been the most frequent visitor to Chonghua Palace. Although he rarely has free time to see him, it has made him understand the prince's character and the city.
, have a more correct understanding.
This was also the reason why he thought of starting with the prince so quickly after this incident.
Moreover, not to mention that the prince has made great achievements this time, but if he really wants to depose Emperor Ningkang, then the prince is undoubtedly the only and correct choice.
Isn't it?
If he deposed Emperor Ning Kang and established another bloodline, no matter what the reason, he would be criticized.
And establishing a prince became a matter of course.
…
Emperor Ningkang walked into the residence without saying a word.
All the confidants and attendants who were accompanying him were all frightened. Even except for Dai Quan, no one dared to follow directly without orders.
After a long time, Dai Quan came out.
"Your Majesty summons the generals, sir. Come in."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and entered in a neat order according to their status. Finally they saw Emperor Ning Kang sitting behind the desk again.
For some reason, even though they had just missed him for a blink of an eye, everyone felt that Emperor Ning Kang seemed a little older for a moment.
After bowing respectfully, Emperor Ning Kang also called out gently, and then spoke first: "Chen Aiqing is a rare loyal minister and good general. It is my fault that he has been in trouble because of my oversight."
After everyone heard this, they all comforted: "Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself. It is not your Majesty's fault for Chen Jiedu's death, it is destiny."
Besides, Mr. Chen is very loyal and courageous. If he knew that His Majesty was so upset because of him, Mr. Chen’s soul in heaven would also be uneasy."
Emperor Ningkang listened to the consolation of the ministers with a silent expression.
But he actually didn't feel too sorry for Chen Zhao's death. On the contrary, he was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhao in his heart.
Chen Zhao is a person he relies on very much. Although he is asked to assist the prince this time and pretend to be a rebel, Chen Zhao should know that his master can only be him, the emperor!
He also had military power in his hands, and at this juncture where everything needed to be careful, he was able to trick the prince and cause him to lose his troops and generals.
If he had not been loyal to him, Emperor Ningkang would definitely punish him severely.
What really made Emperor Ning Kang sad and devastated was naturally the prince's defection in battle...
He raised his hand to stop everyone from talking, and Emperor Ning Kang asked seriously: "In the current situation, do you have any good ideas for me?"
"Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince is rebelling against justice, His Majesty still has the Pro-Army Camp and the Protector-Army Camp in his hands. Together they are far more than ten thousand, which is enough to resist the Xiaoqi Camp and the troops in the Prince's hands. Therefore, Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. The situation is not for us.
In other words, it’s not too disadvantageous.”
It is not too unfavorable, that is to say, tailwind is reduced to contrarian!
"Your Majesty, although we still have the pro-army camp and the guard-army camp in our hands, with the prince's rebellion, your majesty's previous plans have almost lost their effect.
Although they have not taken action against us at the moment, they are stepping up construction and surrounding areas outside the palace. It is obvious that they want to trap His Majesty in the palace, cut off contact with the outside, and then wait for reinforcements.
Your Majesty, I feel that it would be very detrimental to us if we still stay on the mountain at this time.
I feel that I and others should escort His Majesty out of the mountain before the situation gets too bad.
As long as we get down from the mountain, Your Majesty can calmly mobilize troops from all over to reverse the situation."
Emperor Ning Kang was noncommittal and looked at the others.
Although others also felt that breaking out of the encirclement and going down the mountain was a good strategy, after all, no matter what, this incident was initiated by their side.
They all knew that Emperor Ningkang not only deployed heavy troops in Tiewang Mountain, but also had many ambush troops outside the mountain to guard against reinforcements that the Supreme Emperor might recruit.
Because the prince rebelled, the encirclement set up for the emperor turned into his own encirclement, which suddenly put the situation at a disadvantage.
But as long as they can go down the mountain, the advantage is naturally on their side.
only……
As close ministers of the emperor, they all knew that it was not easy for the emperor to "escape".
On the battlefield, it would be shameful for a general to run away, let alone an emperor.
Moreover, evacuating Tienwang Mountain at this time would undoubtedly be a sign of weakness and surrender to the Supreme Emperor, and Emperor Ningkang would not be willing to do so.
As Emperor Ningkang's close ministers, they knew more or less the reason why Emperor Ningkang forced his way into the palace by force.
Sure enough, after they each gave their advice, Emperor Ning Kang shook his head and asked, "Where is Feng Sheng?"
"Commander Feng is leading the military camp and is stepping up efforts to build a defense line to prevent any eventuality."
"Well... the situation is not that bad yet, we can discuss the evacuation later.
All the leading generals will go to cooperate with Feng Aiqing in setting up defenses, while the others will stay."
"yes."
The generals stood up and left, while the civil servants and advisors stayed behind.
"Your Majesty, the longer the current situation continues, the more detrimental it will be to us.
After all, that side has dominated the world for too long, and most of the generals in power in the world will obey its orders.
Now that the incident has begun, if the war cannot be settled as soon as possible, I am afraid that when the time comes, all the soldiers and horses from all over the world will come to Beijing to serve the king, which will be very detrimental to His Majesty.
Moreover, now our external contact has been cut off by the prince..."
There is no way around this.
Emperor Ningkang faced the Supreme Emperor, and his son faced Lao Tzu, which was a natural disadvantageous situation.
They thought to themselves that if they were the ones in charge of the army, it would be hard to tell them behind their backs. If it were in front of the two saints, I am afraid that most of them would choose to side with the Supreme Emperor.
Emperor Ning Kang naturally understood this truth.
But he's not too worried about that.
The soldiers and horses of the world march to Beijing to serve the king? It sounds bluffing, but it is really difficult to implement it.
In the current situation, even if the Supreme Emperor can successfully mobilize the garrisons from all over the world, he, a just and righteous emperor, still has many ways to hinder him.
But since he is planning something big, he will naturally not be careless.
As for the interception of communication...
If the traitor really thinks that his father can be controlled so easily, then he is totally wrong.
And Father, just wait, I will wait for my son to ask you for advice!
