    "Our army in Qinghe Province was defeated, and the loss of our teachers humiliated the country. If we don't pursue the responsibility and all the troops follow suit, the country will be ruined!"

    When Prime Minister You heard that the generals in the General's Mansion not only shirked their responsibilities, but demanded a lavish burial of the defeated Governor Zhou Wen and others, he immediately refuted loudly.

    "Your Majesty, our army in Qinghe Province was annihilated, and the General's Mansion is also to blame. The generals in the General's Mansion are guilty of dereliction of duty! Please be severely punished!" Prime Minister Zuo also took the opportunity to attack.

    Hearing that the two prime ministers sang and impeached them, the faces of the four generals were particularly ugly.

    The prime minister's mansion and the general's mansion have always been at odds, and now the two prime ministers, who usually fight openly and secretly, rarely advance and retreat together, trying to use this incident to bring down the four powerful generals.

    The four generals in the General's Mansion have been in charge of the General's Mansion for so many years, but they are not vegetarians.

    Facing the attack from the prime minister's office, they immediately stood up and retorted. Soon, the two sides began to argue and shift responsibility over the issue of responsibility, making their faces red.

    At this time of national crisis, instead of sharing the old emperor's worries, the prime minister's mansion and the general's mansion quarreled in the palace, which upset the old emperor Longhe.

    "enough¡ª¡ª"

    The old emperor Longhe, who rarely got angry, was also very angry, and immediately opened his mouth to scold him.

    The two prime ministers and four generals who were shirking their responsibilities heard the old emperor's scolding, and they, together with the prince Long Jun, fell to the ground in unison.

    "Your Majesty calm down, the ministers are guilty."

    "Cough coughcough"

    The old emperor's face was flushed with anger, and he, who was already weak, coughed heavily.

    The surrounding servants beat their backs in a hurry, and those who invited the imperial physician invited the imperial physician, causing chaos in the hall.

    After a while, the old emperor Longhe stopped coughing, and slowly regained his composure, lying on the bed, panting heavily.

    "Jun'er, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

    After drinking a cup of decoction, the old emperor cast his cloudy eyes on Prince Longjun who had never spoken.

    Prince Longjun is also in a difficult situation now. The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are the two major power institutions of the Far Eastern Dynasty. If he wants to rise to power, he cannot do without their support.

    "My son thinks that the left and right prime ministers and the four generals are all right."

    Now Prince Longjun can't afford to offend anyone, so he also played tricks, that is, he was impartial and became a peacemaker.

    After hearing the words of Prince Longjun, the old emperor Longhe couldn't help but let out a sigh, and he didn't know what the sigh was.

    "Although what the left and right prime ministers and the generals said is reasonable, I believe that the most urgent task now is not to pursue responsibility, but to discuss a regulation to deal with the bandit army."

    "Qinghe Province is adjacent to Gyeonggi Province. Once the bandit army invades Gyeonggi Province, the capital will be shaken and the world will be uneasy. I think that you should send a large army to conquer"

    Prince Longjun did not continue the topic of responsibility, but changed the subject and grasped the key point of the current problem, that is, how they should deal with the defeat of Qinghe province.

    After hearing the prince's words, the old emperor's cloudy eyes showed satisfaction, and he looked like a prince.

    "Jun'er is right. Who does the General's Mansion think should be sent to lead the army?" The old emperor looked at the four generals again.

    After the four generals heard this, they all fell into deep thought. If it was normal, they would definitely be scrambling to recommend their sons and nephews to lead the army in order to gain military exploits.

    But now even Zhou Wen, Governor of Qinghe Province, and Zhang Chao, General of the Black Cavalry Battalion, have been defeated by the rebels. If the people they recommend lose again, they will also be implicated.

    ?These four generals were also brave and good at fighting back then, but the years are not forgiving. Now they have become old people, and they no longer have the courage to go into battle in person.

    The four generals all looked at me and you, and no one spoke, and the hall fell into an eerie silence for a while.

    "Could it be that the General's Mansion can't even send a person to command the army?"

    Seeing the four generals whose teeth were about to fall out, the old emperor suddenly felt powerless.

    "My son is willing to personally lead the army to conquer the rebellion¡ª"

    At this time, Prince Longjun stepped forward in time and began to recommend himself.

    "No."

    "The army is dangerous and dangerous. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent of our court. How can you go to the dangerous place yourself?"

    ?Prince Longjun wants to lead the army in person, wants to show off on the battlefield, and at the same time wants to take the opportunity to control some confidant troops to pave the way for his succession.

    However, Mr. Long's thinking was too simple, and he encountered unanimous opposition from the left and right prime ministers.

    Now the old emperor Longjun is very weak, and he may die at any time. If the crown prince Longjun is not in the court by then, there will be big troubles.

    Of course, the left and right prime ministers would not say these words, and they could find any reason to prevent the prince from leading the army in person.

    Prince Long Jun faced the obstruction of the two prime ministers, and was about to speak out to justify and fight for himself, when a general from the General's Mansion stepped forward.

    "His Majesty, I have someone to recommend."

    "My love, please tell me."

    "The fourth prince, His Royal Highness Long Tian, ??has always been an expert soldier, and has experienced several years of experience at the border. If the fourth prince leads the army, he will be able to wipe out the bandit army in one fell swoop." The general said.

    The general's daughter married the fourth prince as his concubine, so at this time, he took the opportunity to elect the fourth prince.

    After hearing this, the expressions of the two prime ministers all changed. They supported the prince.

    They prevented the prince from putting himself in danger because they were worried that after the death of the old emperor, the prince would not be able to come back in time, and people who snooped on the throne would take advantage of it.

    But unexpectedly, they prevented the prince from taking risks, but the general's mansion elected the fourth prince, Long Tian, ??to lead the army.

    You must know that the fourth prince, Long Tian, ??was one of the strong contenders for the crown prince back then, and he had strong support in the army.

    They have been trying their best to weaken the influence of the fourth prince Longtian in the army these years. If Longtian is used again to lead the army to go out, wouldn't these years of effort be in vain, and there will be a tendency that the tail will never be lost.

    "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's status is beyond words, and the battlefield is dangerous and dangerous. If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince makes a mistake, who can afford it? Your Majesty, I object to the Fourth Prince's army going out."

    Prime Minister Zuo jumped out in time to prevent the fourth prince from leading the army, because he did not want the fourth prince to rise again and threaten the status of the prince.

    "As the saying goes, brothers fight tigers, and father and son fight in battle. When the country is in crisis, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince replaced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and led the army to conquer the bandits. This is enough to demonstrate our determination to unite and put down the bandits!"

    Prime Minister Zuo still wanted to stand up and say something, but the weak old emperor didn't want to hear their dispute anymore, so he waved his hand directly to stop him from speaking.

    "The decree is to order the fourth prince, Long Tian, ??to lead the army to go out. The prime minister's office is responsible for dispatching food, grass and military equipment. The general's office selects elite soldiers, and the bandit army in Qinghe province must be put down within a time limit" (Remember this site URL: www  .hlnovel.com
