Chapter 264: Want to take action against the emperor?
"The eldest prince, Wu Yuan, is gifted with outstanding talent and can be both literary and military. He led three thousand elite soldiers to the three border cities until they recovered the three cities. After returning to the palace, he resumed his position as the crown prince and took charge of the government."
Emperor Wu's decree was quite informative and shocked all the ministers.
Even Prime Minister Wen and Chen Yuan were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.
First of all, these three thousand elite soldiers are simply a joke.
Including the previous strength of the fifth prince and the second prince, there were only 10,000 troops.
How can such a small force face the combined forces of Tianli, Dayu and Qianlu Chamber of Commerce?
It sounded like he was asking Wu Yuan to die.
But the rewards that followed made people feel that the reason why Emperor Wu was so harsh was just a test for Wu Yuan.
If Wu Yuan really does it, he will be the real crown prince when he comes back, and other princes will never have any chance.
But isn't this test a bit too harsh?
This is an unwinnable battle, otherwise Emperor Wu would not have wavered in You Ye's proposal before.
Now that we only have such a small amount of troops, it's really puzzling.
"Does the eldest prince have any objections?" Emperor Wu asked expressionlessly.
Wu Yuan only replied: "My son, I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
After hearing Wu Yuan's answer, everyone didn't know whether they should admire him or say that Wu Yuan was stupid.
At this time, General Wenhu said: "Your Majesty, this battle is of vital importance to me, Dawu, and we must not take it lightly. I am willing to assist the eldest prince in going together."
However, Zhao Wenhu's words were immediately rejected by Emperor Wu, "The eldest prince is not in a hurry, so why are you anxious? Or is it that you, Zhao Wenhu, have no confidence in the eldest prince?"
Zhao Wenhu wanted to say more, but Wu Yuan took the lead and said: "General Zhao, although you are an old general, don't look down on others."
Zhao Wenhu frowned, but in the end he said nothing more.
Emperor Wu snorted and gave Eunuch Su a look.
Eunuch Su immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat!"
After finally retreating from the court, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's court meeting was thrilling throughout, and it finally came to an end, and the result was beyond all expectations.
After going to court, Prime Minister Wen approached Wu Yuan again and asked straight to the point: "I wonder what the chances of the eldest prince winning?"
Obviously Prime Minister Wen came here to test the situation. To be fair, he hoped that Wu Yuan would die there.
"Of course there is no chance of winning. I wonder if Prime Minister Wen has any good ideas?" Wu Yuan chuckled.
Of course Wu Yuan would not tell the truth when dealing with this old fox.
"Haha, if I have any good ideas, I wish the eldest prince will become famous in this battle and win."
After that, Prime Minister Wen left with satisfaction.
In his opinion, the reason why Wu Yuan took on this hard job was because of You Ye's pressure. If he hadn't made a desperate move, Wu Yuan would have become a bargaining chip and given to the Qianlu Merchant Guild.
After Prime Minister Wen left, Wu Yuan saw General Wen Hu.
I thought that the general would also come to find me, but I didn't expect that he just glanced at him and left.
And there was undisguised disappointment in that look.
This also made Wu Yuan confused for a while, "General Zhao, please stay!"
Wu Yuan took the initiative to stop Zhao Wenhu.
Zhao Wenhu stood still, "Is there something wrong with the eldest prince?"
"It's nothing serious. I'd like to thank General Zhao for coming here to intercede today." Wu Yuan said sincerely.
However, Wu Yuan put his hot face on his cold ass.
"You don't need to thank me. If it wasn't for Ruyan, I wouldn't have cared about you. Even now I regret it, not because I violated His Majesty's taboo, but because the eldest prince is not worthy." Zhao Wenhu didn't give him any face.
At this time, Wu Yuan was also angry.
"General Zhao is really direct enough. Why don't you tell me why I, Wu Yuan, am not worthy?"
Zhao Wenhu was also rude and said immediately: "You are arrogant and don't know how high the sky is. There is only one fate for underestimating the enemy, which is to destroy yourself. It is a pity that all those ten thousand soldiers will die on the battlefield with you."
Hearing this, Wu Yuan sneered, "General Zhao said I was arrogant, but I think you, an old man, are nothing more than that."
"What did you say?" Zhao Wenhu suddenly blew his beard and stared.
Wu Yuanze asked in reply: "May I ask General Zhao, if you were given 10,000 troops and horses, would it be possible to win in such a situation?"
"This is simply impossible." Zhao Wenhu replied without thinking.
Then, Zhao Wenhu added, "With these 10,000 soldiers and horses, we only have a chance of winning against Dayu, but our opponents include Tianli and the Qianlu Chamber of Commerce. Let alone 10,000 soldiers and horses, even with 100,000 soldiers and horses, we may not win.
"
This is still very pertinent.
Wu Yuan asked again, "If that's the case? Then why does General Zhao call me arrogant?"
Zhao Wenhu was also very angry, "Because you shouldn't agree to this kind of thing. If you want His Majesty to invite troops, you have to recruit at least 50,000 troops to be able to fight. But what about you? You agreed so casually, are you going to do it?"
Trap and kill all those ten thousand soldiers."
After Zhao Wenhu finished speaking, Wu Yuan smiled.
Seeing that Wu Yuan could still laugh, Zhao Wenhu was even more annoyed.
But this time, Wu Yuan didn't want to listen to his wordy words anymore, and said directly: "General Zhao, if you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either. I will wait for my triumphant return someday. General Zhao, remember to treat me to a drink to make up for today."
sin."
"What? You said you can win?" Zhao Wenhu glared at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan waved his hand, "General Zhao, just wait and see."
After saying that, Wu Yuan left without looking back. Looking at Wu Yuan's leaving figure, Zhao Wenhu felt depressed again, "Humph, if you lose this time, then brother should make up his mind."
Everyone dispersed, and outside the palace, a figure with a flute was walking on the street.
This man is none other than You Ye, who was demoted to a commoner.
You Ye never thought that he would end up like this.
Now his plan has failed and he has gained a reputation as a traitor.
He understood that Emperor Wu treated him like this in order to save his face.
But he was unwilling to do so.
Staggering back to the mansion, everyone in the mansion was dumbfounded when they heard the news, especially You Dequan, who was still recovering from his injuries. They couldn't believe their ears, let alone accept this fact.
"Dad, should we just forget it?"
You Ye was beaten up by Wu Yuan, and his face still hurt.
He looked even more ferocious at this moment, "Forget it? How could you just forget it?"
Hearing this, You Dequan suddenly became energetic and said, "Dad, what do you want to do?"
You Ye's eyes were sinister, "Over the years, the Criminal Department has been completely in my hands. Now it's time to do something."
You Dequan was a little excited, "Dad, do you want to assassinate Wu Yuan?"
Unexpectedly, You Ye actually said: "Son, it was not Wu Yuan who really brought our father and son to the bottom."
You Dequan was stunned for a moment, then looked horrified, "Dad, do you want to attack the emperor?"
