Prince Han Sien

Chapter 150

As soon as Han Si'en spoke such merciless words, not to mention the other ministers in the court, but only the emperor, he felt that his face was a little bit unworthy.

He glanced at Han Si'en, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and said in a distasteful tone, "What do you mean by what Marquis Wan'an said means that you support His Royal Highness to continue the fight?"

Feeling the unhappiness in the emperor's heart, Han Si'en still said calmly: "Your Majesty, I feel that His Highness, as the crown prince, risked death or injury to personally go to the western frontier. His Royal Highness and the Xijiang soldiers have been in such a stalemate with Xirong all the time. It is nothing more than wanting to return the border people a stable, prosperous and peaceful world. The prosperous place in the capital is the world of the Great Zhou, and the western border is desolate, but the people living there are also the people of the Great Zhou. No one is inferior to anyone else. In the past, Xirong thought that the kindness of the Great Zhou was cowardly. Today, Xirong took the initiative to provoke, but the general who was attacked would not protect him and begged for mercy. I think how arrogant they were when they made small troubles at the border and hurt the people of the Great Zhou. ,Did they ever beg for mercy at that time? Probably they never thought there would be such a day. So Wei Chen felt that since they have reached this point, what does Xi Rong's begging for mercy have to do with our Da Zhou? Whether to forgive them now , so that they will not be grateful, but only resentful, it is better to take the opportunity to wipe them out, and belong to my big Zhou, so that other small countries around them can have a vigilant heart, so as not to have the illusion that they are offending me The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's kindness will not care about them. It can also be used to commemorate those soldiers who died or were injured for the peace of Western Xinjiang."

Han Sien said this mercilessly, Hubu Shangshu was the first to jump out to object, he coldly snorted at Han Sien: "The old minister disagrees with Wan Anhou's words, with Wan Anhou's words I mean, is it possible that the emperor accepted the surrender of the Lord of Xirong because he didn't care about the people on the border? The old minister still thinks that the emperor accepts the surrender to love the people on the border. Iron horses are fighting, just like Wan Anhou said that we are in the capital I can't empathize, but who has never seen the separation of wives and children. The truce at this time can just let the soldiers recuperate. Moreover, the veteran also believes that after this battle, he will be able to deter other countries. No one dares to fight again. Invading an inch of my land."

After saying this, the Minister of the Household Department looked at the emperor again, and said to the emperor sincerely: "Your Majesty, what Wan Anhou said has some truth, but it is just a joke to fight fiercely with the lives of border guards and soldiers. Agreed, the crown prince's status is precious, who can guarantee that he will not encounter any danger when entering the Xirong country? My Great Zhou has always been in harmony with other countries, and I think it is time to stop this time. Please think twice before making a decision, Your Majesty. "

Hubu Shangshu's words were agreed by the vast number of courtiers, and most of them bent down and sincerely begged the emperor to think twice.

At this moment, Han Si'en spoke, and he said casually: "You are worried that the crown prince will be injured in Xirong, so you can recall the crown prince and replace him with a general to continue the attack?"

After he finished speaking, he also said to the emperor: "Although I am weak, I am willing to recall the prince for the emperor, and lead troops to continue to attack Xirong."

"Marquis Wan An's words sound good." The Minister of the Household Department hummed: "You don't know the art of war, and you are delicate and have never been on the battlefield. It's like a child's play to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to you. The old minister is afraid that when the time comes Not only did you not attack Xirong, but you ruined the lives of countless soldiers of our Great Zhou."

To lead the army means to be in charge of the military power, and the person who holds the military power can be anyone, but it cannot be Han Sien.This is the voice of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty. There is no precedent for Han Sien to do things. If he leads the army to rebel, who can do anything to him?This is what Hubu Shangshu didn't say in his heart.

Han Sien wanted to say something else, but the emperor raised his hand and said with an inexplicable expression: "Enough, a little matter, look at your current appearance, do you treat the court as your own backyard? Discuss this matter later, and leave the court. "

After Yuan Bao yelled to withdraw from the court, Man Chaowen and Wu walked out of the hall, with Han Si'en walking last.He knew that the emperor would not let him lead troops to the western border. Although the emperor was an emperor, he was still an ordinary person after all.

The emperor has long accepted in his heart that Xi Rong sent envoys to send gold, silver and material goods to seek peace, so the matter in Xijiang has ended so far.

Han Si'en didn't feel disappointed, he didn't think about what he said in the court today, he just said what was on his mind.

In some people's eyes, his words seemed to be forcing the emperor to send troops to Xirong. If it were a suspicious and tyrannical emperor, he would probably feel that he was not measured and was too aggressive.Such an emperor should use the words of the Minister of the Household Department to call him treasonous.

After leaving the palace, Han Si'en did not take a sedan chair back to the Marquis of Wan'an's Mansion, he walked slowly on the street.

The extremely handsome face can always attract some people's attention, and there are also veils falling on him from the sky, but it is not too much after all.

Those who recognized Han Sien's face would always feel weird looking at his face, how could he have such a vicious mind when he looks so good.

In the end, Han Si'en went to the restaurant, which was the first restaurant he went to after Bai Shu lent him money back then.

Still in that room, Han Sien sat by the window, feeling that life is a bit strange.In a blink of an eye, he has been in this dynasty for several years. At the beginning, he just had no interest in living at all. In front of everyone, uncover the biggest conspiracy of this dynasty.

At that time, he didn't have anyone in his eyes at all, no matter the strangers who passed by, or the maids and servants who had been by his side all the time, they didn't leave the slightest trace in his heart.

Second, looking at the people coming and going outside the window, and listening to the yelling of small merchants, Han Sien felt that no matter in modern times or in this ancient time, the most ordinary people lived hard.

These ordinary people may be selfish and indifferent, or have vicious thoughts, but most of them are living earnestly and hard.Thinking of this, Han Sien turned his eyes away and suddenly smiled.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room, Han Sien lowered his eyebrows, and said lightly to come in.

After seeing the person coming, Han Si'en called out to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince Ji Fan's stature is a bit fatter than a few years ago, and he didn't care about Han Sien's rudeness.In other words, when there is no emperor to speak in this capital, few people will care about these things.

When Ji Fan got across to Han Si'en, he looked a little cautious.He just saw Han Si'en going to the restaurant, he hesitated for a while before following him.

But when he really looked into Han Sien's eyes that seemed to know everything, Ji Fan felt that he couldn't say anything.Ji Fan sat there awkwardly, moving his body back and forth.

In the end, it was Han Sien who couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Is the eldest prince looking for this little minister for something?"

Ji Fan hesitated and said, "It's nothing, but I just got a good sword. I heard that Young Master Bai likes long swords the most. I think I'll give it to him after he returns to Beijing. How does Marquis Wan An think?"

The corner of Han Si'en's mouth curled slightly and said: "The eldest prince has a heart, and Bai Shu is indeed more comfortable with the sword. Since it was given by the eldest prince, he must like it."

After hearing this, Ji Fan said, "I'll have someone deliver the sword to Wan'anhou's mansion in a while." Ji Fan and Han Si'en didn't know each other well at all, so after saying this, the two of them had nothing to say. But Ji Fan still bit the bullet and did not leave.

The smile on the corner of Han Sien's mouth deepened a little, but his eyes remained cold. He said leisurely: "The eldest prince is too polite. In fact, His Royal Highness only has the elder brother of the eldest prince. The prince is generous by nature. As long as he is not very If it is too much, the crown prince will not care about it when he returns to Beijing."

Ji Fan didn't expect Han Si'en to say that, he was stunned for a while, his hesitant heart calmed down little by little, and finally he said with a smile: "Thank you Wan Anhou, I'm the one who was stunned." After saying this, Ji Fan bid farewell to Han Sien.

Han Si'en looked at his back and lowered his eyelids slightly. As the great prince of Zhou Dynasty, Ji Fan liked force and his mind was always simple.Although he has a long word, but he has self-knowledge, he has not thought about competing with those brothers for many years, and he has not wooed the officials in private.

But with Ji Luo's life and death in Xijiang unknown, and Ji Huai and Ji Rong under house arrest, he was the only prince with a clean background and a good name in this big week.

Having self-knowledge doesn't mean that you don't have the idea of ​​wanting to climb high, but you know that you don't have the ability, so you automatically avoid those troubles.But after Ji Luo's accident, those who kept trying to win Ji Fan over suddenly realized his greatest advantage.

As a prince, no one dislikes the throne.Now all the obstacles are gone, the bones are covered with a wedding dress made for him by others, and he is the only one in the high place.One can imagine Ji Fan's mood, like missing a peerless treasure in a fake antique toy market.

As the eldest prince, Ji Fan could not be hated by the other brothers, and he safely withdrew from the fight for the prince because he thought clearly enough.He was no exception to Ji Luo's disappearance. Although he was a little happy in his heart, he hadn't accepted the courtship of those officials.

He thought that he would make plans only after getting definite news from Ji Luo.Then he waited for Ji Luo to be safe and sound, and even joined forces with Bai Wenhan to defeat Xi Rong.

Ji Fan said in his heart that it was impossible not to lose, but this result was also within his expectations. He didn't lose anything, he just returned to his original position.

But the things that have been done will always leave traces. Those officials have wooed him, and he has hesitated.These things became a knot in Ji Fan's heart. He didn't know what Ji Luo thought of this matter after returning to Beijing.

So when he saw Han Si'en just now, after some hesitation, he finally went upstairs.

Ji Fan and Han Si'en had nothing to say, so they had to mention Bai Shu.In fact, this also shows from the side that Ji Fan is indeed simple-minded. If he puts it on others, he might hate him even more because of it.

Ji Fan wanted to express his position to Ji Luo through Han Sien, but he didn't know how to speak. He didn't expect Han Sien to speak like that.

Ji Fan suddenly realized, yes, any prince would be tempted in that situation.Ji Luo only has her own elder brother, so she can't just make things difficult for her because of these things, she must have some reputation, right?

After Ji Fan left, Han Sien left the restaurant himself.And from that day on, Han Si'en began to complain of illness and stopped going to court. The emperor sent an imperial doctor to check his pulse, rewarded him with some things, and never summoned him again.

Three days later, the emperor ordered Xijiang to accept the letter of surrender from Xirong. Xirong cut off two cities occupied by General Xi in Dazhou.

Another half month later, the capital city received the news that Ji Luo was leaving from the western border, and Han Sien received Ji Luo's private message again.The letter was sent in Ji Luo's name, but the handwriting on it was indeed someone else's.

Han Si'en looked at the ugly words, and slowly opened it. There was only one line of big characters on it, which said, Han Si'en, I will return to Beijing soon.
