A minister actually wants to compete with the emperor for merit. It should be done with both hands. The minister is all for the emperor.
General Iron Mask, as a military general, said this, and he committed the following sin.
Which king can endure such a general?
The brightly lit hall in early summer suddenly felt like a cold winter.
"Your Majesty." The iron-faced general looked up at the emperor, "The merits of the old ministers are all for your majesty, but now the prince is not your majesty. He is the prince and a minister. His merits are his. If they are not his, they cannot be taken away by force.
."
In fact, if a military general said this, the emperor would be very happy. After all, the emperor was also the most taboo about military generals getting too close to the princes. But when he thought of the true identity of the man under the gray robe and white hair, the emperor looked a little hesitant -
"General Yu." The emperor said earnestly, "I understand your intention, but the prince did have merit in this matter. Think about it, why did Chen Danzhu kill Li Liang? Of course it was because Li Liang was a threat enough, if not for Li Liang
, Will Chen Danzhu do this? Can Chen Liehu be exiled by the King of Wu? How can we take over the land of Wu without fighting? "
The emperor had already explained so humbly, so the general should stop. Eunuch Jinzhong couldn't help but look at the iron-faced general and wink at him. Now because of the matter of the fifth prince and queen, the emperor truly loves the prince.
The iron mask of the Iron-faced General made his whole face hard, and his voice was also hard: "Your Majesty, you only thought about the reason, but you didn't think that if, yes, Chen Danzhu was aware that Li Liang was being betrayed, he was against the Chen family and the Wu people.
I killed him because of the unfavorable situation, but at that time, the girl just killed someone out of fear and anger, and she didn’t even think about what to do after killing Li Liang.”
So? The emperor looked at the iron masked general.
"In the camp at that time, Miss Danzhu only relied on ten personal guards to control the army. Li Liang's men would definitely resist when they found out, but Miss Danzhu would not sit still and wait for death. When the time came to fight, relying on Chen Liehu,
In the name of Miss Chen Er, Li Liang's men may not necessarily be unstoppable, and Chen Liehu will definitely find something wrong. When the time comes, Wu Du's defenses will be strengthened inside and outside. Your Majesty, it is impossible not to go to war, but to go to war,
His Majesty also knows how powerful Chen Liehu is in leading the army."
Listening to the iron-faced general speaking slowly, the emperor's expression changed.
"Your Majesty." The iron-faced general's voice was hoarse and pale, "Li Liang, this is not a credit, it is a mistake. This mistake led to the complete disruption of our plan that had the upper hand. It was the veteran who stabilized Chen Danzhu and persuaded her to surrender.
It was only in the imperial court that Miss Danzhu made the King of Wu reach an agreement with the old minister without telling Chen Liehu. Your Majesty, the old minister is not domineering and monopolizing the credit. It is a fact. Your Majesty insists on thinking that this is the crown prince's credit. Li Liang has the merit. This
The lack of clear distinction between rewards and punishments chills the hearts of thousands of soldiers, and it will not give the prince much prestige, but will only cause more criticism."
The emperor remained silent.
"Your Majesty." The iron-faced general leaned over, "I understand your Majesty's painstaking care of the prince, but as a prince, he is not eager for quick success and quick gains, and his greatest reputation is his stability."
The emperor sighed softly, his voice helpless: "You, you, have always been very reasonable."
"The reason I spoke is for Your Majesty." The iron-faced general said, "I am already at this age, buried in the loess, with no children and no worries. I can see that the Great Xia is stable, the court is clear, and the prince is calm. Your Majesty
Holy Ming, I will die without regrets."
At the age of General Iron Mask, his life has begun to count down. If a person dies, all his great achievements will be reduced to dust, and there will be no great achievements to shock the master. The emperor was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I understand.
Please step back."
The iron-faced general leaned over and kowtowed again: "Your Majesty is wise, I will retire."
The emperor looked at the iron-faced general who stood up and sneered again: "Don't talk about being childless and pretending to be pitiful all day long. Don't you have an adopted daughter?"
The iron-faced general lowered his head and said: "The world belongs to your Majesty, I belong to your Majesty, and my daughter also belongs to your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hands in annoyance: "Hurry up, get out of here."
The Iron-faced General withdrew neatly this time. The emperor stood in the hall for a quiet moment and shook his head.
"Headache," he said.
Eunuch Jinzhong was startled and rushed to help him. "How are you, Your Majesty?" He asked the imperial doctor again.
The emperor was amused by him: "I have a headache because of these two sons."
Eunuch Jinzhong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "My sons are so good, being a father is also troublesome."
The emperor smiled again, and thought of his not-so-good sons. He shook his head and sighed: "I don't ask them to be good. As long as they don't do anything wrong, it's enough to be brothers, friends, and brothers."
Eunuch Jinzhong helped the emperor walk back and whispered: "Your Majesty can train him well. If you don't know the rules, lock him up and teach him. If you beat him unsteadily, you are the father and the emperor. They are sons and ministers, eh."
——In this way, Ah Xuan, the child, is the first to be sensible."
The emperor smiled again.
Eunuch Jinzhong looked at his expression and said with a smile: "I have an idea. Your Majesty, let's go sit with Concubine Xu and let her, as a mother, teach her son a lesson. Your Majesty won't have to come forward."
Yes, there is another third prince who is in good health and went out for a trip again. He thought he was calm and sensible, but what happened? When he heard about the incident involving Chen Danzhu, he was furious and ran out to report it! The emperor flicked his sleeves:
"Walk!"
Marriage and raising children is also a kind of loving interest. Eunuch Jin Zhong followed him with a smile. When he walked to the door, he saw a little eunuch peeking his head in. He winked at him and the little eunuch flew towards Concubine Xu's palace without forgetting.
He pinched his sleeves to avoid losing the benefits given by Concubine Xu.

Yao Fu was still standing outside the door of the Crown Princess. She seemed to be the same as before. She even obeyed the Crown Princess's cold eyes and scolds as before. But when the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess got up to talk to each other and walked to the study, she would curl up.
He followed her away, ignoring the livid face of the Crown Princess behind her.
"My father regretted this matter again." The prince said directly after entering the study.
Yao Fu looked surprised and uneasy: "Is it possible that your Majesty is dissatisfied with you, Your Highness?"
The prince sneered: "It's not that my father is dissatisfied with me, it's the Iron-faced General who asked to see Your Majesty, saying that recognizing Li Liang's meritorious service would mean taking credit from him."
Yao Fu's eyes suddenly widened and she grabbed the prince's sleeve: "Your Highness! This is what Chen Danzhu did! Chen Danzhu bewitched the Iron Masked General!"
Chen Danzhu, the prince thought about the woman he had caught a glimpse of that day, and he smiled: "She is indeed very charming."
The man really saw that this was the only thought in the woman's mind. Yao Fu shook his sleeves sourly: "Your Highness, you can still laugh. This Chen Danzhu has ruined His Highness's good deeds many times."
The prince said: "It should be said that it ruined your good deeds, right?"
As for smart men who cannot quibble, Yao Fu lowered his head and murmured to your highness, crying: "I am really unwilling to accept it. It has been this Chen Danzhu several times. If it weren't for Chen Danzhu, Li Liang would still be alive. How could there be so many people today?"
