7823 Chapter 7821-
It would be great if a bastard like Sima Zhongyi could become the Prince Consort.
Not only would it not affect the fight for the Crown Prince in Hongshang Commandery, but he could also use his status as the Prince Consort of a conferred Kingdom in the long state to provide assistance!
We’ll see if there’s a date or not, and when the time comes, we’ll send them out to try!
Sima Yunfei’s mind turned and he said,””Of course. Since honorable nephew Zhong da is going to a conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state, this King will allow Zhong Yi to follow along and broaden his horizons. We can keep each other company.”
Sima Yun was instantly speechless. The son of his boss’s family was going too. He couldn’t refuse!
The problem was that when it came to the matter of finding a Prince Consort, how could the big boss’s family be a match for his own son?
At first, si MA was already very annoyed, but he couldn’t think of any reason to refute.
At this moment, a soldier rushed out of the main hall, knelt down on one knee, and shouted,””Urgent military intelligence! The black charm Commandery’s border! The exact number is unknown, urgent news from the border!”
The hall immediately fell into silence.
For a moment, everyone was confused. What was wrong with the black charm Commandery? why did they choose to start a war with the Hongshang Commandery at this time?
When the seitong Commandery sent their troops, the black charm Commandery would attack the other direction of Hongshang Commandery at the same time. This would be the most effective and force Hongshang Commandery to split up their troops to fight.
If they sent out their troops now, they would encounter the situation where Hongshang Commandery had defeated seitong Commandery and taken down five cities in the North. The morale of the entire country was high.
Moreover, the northern border did not suffer any serious injuries, so it would not be particularly difficult to deal with the black magic Commandery.
Therefore, although many high-level officials of Hongshang Commandery in the hall were surprised, they did not panic.
He even had the leisure to guess the reason why the black charm Commandery chose this time to attack.
“Father, the black magic Commandery has invaded. As the defender-general of the state, Zhong da can not leave easily. I think that Zhong da has done a good job in pacifying the war at the northern border and defeating the seitong Commandery. This time, with Zhong da as the commander, the black magic Commandery will definitely succeed!”
Sima Yunqi finally found a reason for Lin Yi not to go to the young masters “gathering in the Dragon state conferred Kingdom. He spared no effort in pushing Lin Yi to lead the expedition.
“The black charm Commandery’s equipment is excellent, which is not comparable to the selenium copper Commandery. Although nephew Zhong da has outstanding military achievements, it is obviously impossible for him to replicate the battle results against the sulfur copper Commandery.”
Sima Yunfei would definitely object to it. Not to mention anything else, he would object to whatever Sima Yunqi suggested.
Sima zhengxin pinched his eyebrows and felt his head hurt!
This time, the urgent military report was really urgent. It was sent directly in front of all the civil and military officials, so that Sima zhengxin did not have the time to hold a family meeting in advance at the Qiu Shi Palace Hall to unify the words.
Now that Sima Yun Fei and Sima Yun Qi both had their own opinions, Sima Zheng Xin was in a difficult position.
“Your Majesty, I also think that the defender-general of the state should not be taken lightly. He should just stay in the king’s city. After all, he is one of the highest-ranking generals in our Army. If the black charm Commandery only sent a small troop to harass the border, we would be a joke if we send the defender-general!”
First lieutenant Feng ruoting, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly stepped out and expressed his opinion.””In my opinion, the black magic Commandery will not easily break through the border, so the war will not be too urgent.”
“The plan now is to first investigate the situation of the black magic Commandery and then make a suitable response. Before that, we can send a Deputy general to the border with a group of reinforcements. How to deal with it depends on the situation.”
“In this way, we can easily resolve the threat of the black charm Commandery! I wonder if your Majesty thinks that this old Minister’s words make some sense?”
Originally, Feng ruoting wanted to see a good show of Sima Yunfei and Sima Yunqi, the two brothers fighting each other.
It was not in house Feng’s interest to let Lin Yi lead the Army, so they had no choice but to support Sima Yunfei.
Lin Yi was already the defender-general of the state-if he continued to lead troops and returned with a victory, what rewards would he get?
At such a young age, he had no way to be promoted. If it was someone else, they might have been suspected by his Lord and died a terrible death.
However, Lin Yi was different. He was the grandson of the king. Sima zhengxin already had the thought of abdicating, but he was still wavering between Sima Yunfei and Sima Yunqi.
If Lin Yi were to rise up at this time, his contributions would be so great that he couldn’t be rewarded, and Sima zhengxin might just skip his son and make Lin Yi the king’s grandson!
Once such a young and powerful Wang Taisun succeeded the throne, the Feng family would not have the chance to touch the throne of Hongshang Commandery for decades or even a hundred years!
And so, they couldn’t let Lin Yi lead the Army. If possible, they had to get him to attend the young masters “meeting, and find a way to make him the Prince Consort of a conferred Kingdom!
On this point, Feng ruoting and Sima Yunfei were natural allies, and they could reach a consensus without communication!
“The Grand commandant’s words are naturally the words of an old man! Pass down my order, quickly investigate the reason, scale, strategic target, and other information of the black charm Commandery’s Army. You must send it to me today!”
Sima zhengxin gave the order to the eunuch beside him, then turned to the officials below,””Before the situation is unclear, don’t send reinforcements from the capital. Send orders to the cities around the battle area to reinforce the front line.”
As for whether they would be attacked by the black charm Commandery, Sima zhengxin couldn’t care less for the time being.
In any case, with the elites of the capital at hand, it would not be a big problem to suffer a little loss in the early stages.
Sima Yunfei and Feng ruoting had more or less achieved their goal, so they didn’t say anything more.
The reward from the victorious return naturally turned into a discussion about the new war.
The people in the hall were generally optimistic. After all, the seitong Commandery was not weaker than the black magic Commandery, but they were still defeated and had to cede their land and pay indemnities.
After half a day of discussion, no new opinions came out, and they finally dispersed.
On the second day of the court session, new information was sent back by a Messenger Eagle. Sima zhengxin sat on the throne and let the eunuch beside him read the information.
“…The seitong Commandery knew that they were no match for the black magic Commandery, so they ceded all the territory that was adjacent to the black magic Commandery and had always been in dispute to the black magic Commandery. They also added two more cities as the price to negotiate peace with the black magic Commandery!”
“On the surface, this contract states that the seitong Commandery will give up their land unconditionally. But in fact, there is an additional clause in the dark. The black magic Commandery will continue their alliance and attack our Hongshang Commandery!”
“The black charm Commandery thought that seitong Commandery had taken the initiative to show weakness and withdraw their defense line. They didn’t want to fight to the death since they still had some strength. Therefore, after getting enough benefits, they turned to attack our border. They wanted to take some benefits from us while we were digesting the fruits of the battle in the northern border.”
“In summary, we can analyze that the strategic goal of the black charm Commandery is not to go deep into our territory, but to gain some benefits. It is unlikely to develop into a large-scale country war.”
