Misfortunes never come singly. Just when the imperial court discovered that the border troops stationed in the north had made some changes and had not yet taken any countermeasures, the imperial spies stationed at the border once again sent back the news that the grassland people in the north had made some changes.
Originally, Zeng Yi and others were ready to pack up and head to the north. After all, the prince's family was so powerful that it had some influence on the northern frontier army. It had less than 100,000 troops, and it was also a frontier army. For the imperial court, it was not a big deal.
It is not too difficult. As long as the imperial army is dispatched, it will not take long to wipe out those troops who intend to rebel.
At this moment, the old prince sent someone to inform Zeng Yi and others to go to the palace immediately. Seeing the people coming in a hurry, Zeng Yi knew that something bad must have happened again, so he immediately finished watching the old prince with Shan
When they arrived at the mansion, the two of them knew that in addition to the changes in the northern frontier army, even the grasslands began to make some movements.
When Zeng Yi learned about this, he was a little unconvinced at first. After all, Xiao Feng is now the leader of the grassland people at the border. Although Xiao Feng is very powerful, because of his relationship with the Central Plains, he will never take the initiative to provoke friction. However,
Zeng Yi later learned that the grassland army that had made some changes this time was not Xiao Feng's army, but the grassland nation, the Khitan tribe.
"Khitan tribe! Yelu Hongji! How could he do this!" Zeng Yi actually knew very well about those things in the grassland. The Khitan tribe can be called the second largest tribe in the grassland, second only to the Mengge tribe in strength.
Meng Ge has always been on guard against the Khitan tribe, and the two sides only maintained a superficial relationship! It is absolutely impossible for the Khitan tribe to sacrifice their lives for Meng Ge.
"It's not impossible. Now the Khitan tribe's 100,000 troops have been stationed at the border. Together with Xiao Feng's 100,000 troops from the west, the grassland people now have 200,000 troops stationed at the border!" Guo Juxia said worriedly.
"Two hundred thousand!" Zeng Yi was also surprised. The imperial army in the north only numbered more than 100,000, and now those northern troops are very likely to be tempted by the prince's family to rebel. If that really happens,
Regarding the matter, the northern part of the Central Plains can be said to have a wide open door, allowing hundreds of thousands of enemies to march straight in.
"Then, what should we do? Hurry up and dispatch your troops!" Zeng Yi became a little anxious at the thought of hundreds of thousands of cavalry marching in.
"The Ministry of War has begun to deploy troops and generals, but with hundreds of thousands of troops, this will take time!"
"The army in the northwest! Aren't there still hundreds of thousands of troops there?" Zeng Yi looked at the old prince and others and said.
"Those troops are on guard against Xixia. Once those troops are transferred from the northwest, do you think Xixia will miss this opportunity? And, I dare say, Xixia must have taken some action now."
"Then, what should we do?"
Everyone looked at the old prince. The old prince was the supervisor of the country and could be said to be the temporary emperor. He was the only one who could make decisions at this time. The old prince was silent for a while and then said: "The most important issue now is the border army in the north.
, if there is no problem with the northern army, with these 100,000 troops, the grassland will never dare to act rashly. Even if they really want to start a war, then the 100,000 troops can rely on the fortress to resist for a while, which can also allow the army to gather.
Buy some time. But if there is really any problem with the one hundred thousand army, the imperial court will not only have to face the two hundred thousand grassland army, but also the one hundred thousand army!"
Zeng Yi was all silent. Zeng Yi couldn't help but say: "Does the prince's family really have such great influence on the army in the north? With just one word from them, the 100,000-strong army will listen to them?"
Guo Juxia sighed, "Of course the impact is not that big, but it has a great impact on the leading generals in the north. It doesn't make much difference."
"No, the difference is huge! If those leading generals die suddenly, I believe that as long as the court sends new generals, the northern army may not really rebel!"
As soon as Zeng Yi finished speaking, Zhuge Shenhou shook his head, "We have already thought about this, but with so many armies, and most likely protected by martial arts masters like Yue Buqun, if you want to assassinate those generals, it is basically impossible.
impossible!"
"Although it is difficult, this is currently the best way to solve this crisis. How can we know if it will work if we don't give it a try?"
The old prince slapped the table, "Yes, if you don't give it a try, how will you know if it can work? Even if it just delays it for a while, it will be very beneficial to the court!" As he said, the old prince looked at Zeng Yi and Huantian, "
At present, several masters of Jinyiwei are stationed at the border. The six gates must guard against the internal affairs of the Central Plains. The imperial court can no longer send any masters. This matter can only be left to your pro-military captain's mansion.
.I wonder if you can take on this task?"
Zeng Yi looked at Huantian on the side. The two were silent for a moment, and then Huantian said: "Old Prince, we are the princess's people. If the princess gives the order, we will die without mercy." This guy Huantian,
She would seize the opportunity and clearly force the old prince and others to recognize the status of the little princess.
As soon as Zeng Yi heard what Shaotian said, he understood the meaning of the pro-army captain's mansion, and then said: "Yes, old prince, strictly speaking, Her Royal Highness the Princess is only a white-clothed one now, and the pro-military captain's mansion is also
It’s just a non-governmental organization, so for us to handle such a big thing is a bit unjust and unjust.”
The old prince frowned, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled and said to Zeng Yi and Hantian: "The matter has come to this point. In fact, the court is already discussing restoring her to the status of princess."
"I wonder what the adults in the court think?" Things have come to this point. Two of the three princes have been eliminated, and only one is left. Although he has fled the capital, he is now preparing to rebel. He has basically lost the fight for the right to inherit the throne.
Chances are, the only heir is the little princess. This is for the sake of the emperor, so naturally the cunning ministers in the court will not have any objections.
"My lords, you all feel that this is what should be done. As the only direct descendant of the royal family, she should resume her status as a princess."
Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Zeng Yi's face: "That's no problem. Her Royal Highness is a direct member of the royal family. Naturally, we are also members of the court. It is our duty to solve problems for the court! Old prince, you
Don’t worry, our pro-military governor’s office will go all out to strive for a smooth solution to the problem of the northern frontier army.”
"Then I'll leave it to you all!"
Once the little princess's status as a princess is restored, people like Zeng Yi and others will become her retainers. In a sense, Zeng Yi has finally regained her status as a court eagle.
