Chapter 203 Xiang Wang
Han Zhen watched the emperor bestow a Shangfang sword to Xiao Xun, and he was furious. Originally, he planned to let his son Han Luo take the military merit this time. Huang Xin underestimated the enemy, and now it fell into the hands of the bandit leader. Here, the three thousand soldiers were said to have lost the battle, but it was only because they were not familiar with the terrain that they were defeated.
No one died, as long as the imperial court sends people to wave their arms on Shaohua Mountain, are they afraid that those deserters will not come back? Assemble together, it is another powerful army.
The opponent, only six or seven hundred people, with perfunctory equipment, as long as they don't underestimate the enemy, this can be said to be an easy achievement. Compared with going to the south and north to kill the enemy, it is easier and easier to earn credit, and there is no danger of life.
Obviously Han Zhen was in charge of suppressing the bandits this time, but the booklet he handed over never reached the hands of the emperor, and finally this opportunity was snatched by Xiao Xun, a young boy.
Han Zhen was trembling with anger. He seemed to feel the mocking gazes of civil and military officials on him. If he didn't do something this time, would anyone be able to bully him in the future?
Thinking of this, Han Zhen couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know whose proposal it is that the king of Chenjun will suppress the bandits this time?"
Lu Yan was wearing a red embroidered unicorn robe, and his black cloak was fluttering in the wind. An eagle with outstretched wings was about to soar for nine days.
He raised his eyes and looked at Han Zhen. Xie Mei's eyes were upturned and dark.
Xiao Xun was not happy when he heard it, he put the wine glass on the plate held by the little eunuch, and kicked Han Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, "I'm going to suppress the bandits, what the **** are you doing What do you mean? Do you think I am unworthy? Do you think whoever you say should be let go? Are you the emperor or the emperor is the emperor? This world belongs to your Han family?"
This is heartbreaking!
Han Zhen didn't dare to say anything, so he kowtowed when he got up, and cried, "Your Majesty, I have no such intentions. I just think that the king of Chenjun is young. The last time he went to Ganzhou to quell the chaos, the main force of King Yue had been defeated at that time. There are some rogue soldiers left, it is not surprising that the prince of the county has made contributions, but now it is different, the thieves occupying Shaohua Mountain, everyone has their lives on their hands, and they are extremely fierce. In a dangerous situation, shouldn't the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang be worried?"
If Xiao Xun suppressed the bandits this time, where would Han Zhen put his face?
Xiao Xun kicked Han Zhen in the face. Han Zhen is also a military general. He was defenseless that time. Who would have thought that the county prince would be so arrogant that he could beat a nobleman at will in front of the emperor?
This time, Han Zhen would not let him succeed no matter what, he scrambled and dodged, angrily said, "Your Majesty, you and I are officials in the same dynasty..."
"Who is an official in the same dynasty as you? This king is not yet fourteen years old and has not yet reached the age of entering the court. You are really shameless. If you compete with a child like me for military merits, who will you beat if this king doesn't beat you?"
Is this unreasonable?
Han Zhen could not agree with Xiao Xun, so he complained to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am really wronged through the ages!"
The emperor was in a dilemma. What Xiao Xun said was not unreasonable. Wasn't Han Zhen being too lenient? The person he chooses is not capable of defeating the bandits, and if he chooses the person himself, he still has to babble around. But Xiao Xun is really too domineering, Han Zhen is a marquis after all, even if he wants to hit someone, can't he avoid it? Not in his face.
"Prince Chen, do you know the crime?"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, he heard a burst of crying. King Xiang came out of nowhere, he was dressed in sloppy royal clothes, and wiped his tears while crying, "Han Zhen, you are so old! Yes, you bully my son, and I tell you to bully my son! Are you dead when you are my king?"
When the ministers heard this, everyone felt a headache, and they were full of resentment towards Han Zhen. A dignified veteran, what kind of military exploits are you fighting for? Is it not good to fight for the Eastern Sea, the Southern Border, the Western Regions and the Northern Territory? It's really shameless to argue with a child, and now it's alarming the parents, it really deserves it!
King Xiang threw himself at the emperor's feet, "Brother emperor, are you just watching him Han Zhen bullying my son? You actually help him, an outsider."
The emperor wanted to cry, he wanted to say, there are no insiders and outsiders in this court, but if he dared to say that, his brother, who has always played cards unreasonably, would go crazy with him .
As a last resort, the emperor had no choice but to say, "Han Zhen, I don't need you to speak to who I appointed to suppress the rebellion. Who told you that the previous military achievements of King Chenjun were picked up?"
"Huh? Han Zhen, you are so bold that you dare to say that my son's military achievements were picked up. I will fight with you!"
King Xiang was about to rush over, Xiao Xun hurriedly pulled his father up, "Father, don't tell me, a dog bites you, and you really rushed to bite the dog? Besides, he said that my military achievements were picked up, so what? It means that Uncle Huang does not distinguish between merit and demerit, anyway, I was awarded the title of County King by virtue of that military merit, and if he refuses to accept him, he deserves it!"
The more the emperor listened, the more angry he became, and finally he raised his eyebrows coldly, and did not dare to speak to King Xiang and his son, so he had no choice but to yell at Han Zhen, "If you didn't know people well this time, and the general was incompetent, why would my three thousand sons fall? Ah Yan, according to my will, the Marquis of Huaiyuan should be responsible for the defeat of the bandits, and the Six Departments will discuss it, and hand it over to the Third Division for conviction!"
Han Zhen wanted to complain, but before he could open his mouth, Lu Yan glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile, and hurriedly took orders, and reminded, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, and it is time for King Chen to leave!"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, this farce was finally over, he waved his hand, "Go, be careful, your grandmother and your father are still waiting for your safe return in the capital!"
"My nephew knows, my nephew won't let Uncle Huang get into trouble."
These are probably the most ingenious words ever said by the emperor when he saw off the soldiers on a trip!
To the emperor, when Xiao Xun went to war, winning or losing was not important, what was important was his safety, mainly because this kid had shown a brave spirit of daring to die rather than surrender since he was a child.
At that time, a little prince from Beiqi came to meet the world with the mission. Xiao Xun was only six years old at that time, and the little prince was already thirteen years old. was beaten half to death.
Xiao Xun was dressed in silver armor like snow, riding on the flying clouds, his red cloak billowing in the wind, behind him were the soldiers who accompanied him this time, before he took to the street, the cheers on the street flooded like a tide Come.
"Sister, look quickly, look quickly, the brother of the county king is here!"
Beside Suzaku Gate, in the restaurant facing the street, Xie Zhiwei and Xie Mingxi occupied the best private room, under the window is the spacious Royal Street, with the sound of horseshoes, Xie Zhiwei hurried over, and at a glance, he saw the young man as hot as July, The spirit is high and the momentum is like a rainbow.
