I really didn't want to be emperor

Outside Jinling city.

The mountains and plains are full of black armored cavalry, tens of thousands of horses galloping, like the water of the Tianhe River, unstoppable, making the world tremble.

A short while.

A scout appeared below the city.

The sizzling wind rides the horses and roars.

"Prince triumphant!"

"Prince triumphant!"

.............

Jinling Long Street.

The crown prince appeared, sitting on the white horse, tightening the rein in his hand, fully clothed.

The golden armor, black python robe, waist-hung broad sword, holding a silver spear, are majestic and dazzling.

Behind the divine strategy army is also black armor, and the soldiers are shining with silver light, and wherever they pass, a powerful iron and blood swept through.

Such a group of people walking on the Jinling Long Street is hard to think about.

Compared to Ye Jun quietly returning to Beijing.

But the prince made the limelight.

On horseback.

His long hair pouring down like a waterfall, the stars in his eyes are shining, with a bit of breathtaking domineering.

The intention of this move is very obvious. It is to tell the people of Jinling City that King Yong rebelled and led the army to quell the chaos.

Jinling City is at the feet of the emperor, and the prince needs the support of these people.

He also enjoys this kind of highly anticipated feeling.

.........

Inside the Imperial Study Room.

Huang Huang received Gothe's report and showed a slight anger on his face, "Going back to the city, making a big fanfare, the city is full of wind and rain, afraid that others will not know, he will come back from Yongzhou?"

"It's still so overjoyed, can't you learn to keep a low profile?"

"It is a glorious thing for King Yong to rebel?"

Originally, Emperor Xia was very satisfied with the prince's performance in Tongzhou this time, and vowed to guard Hukou Pass to the death to prevent the rebels from overtaking the thunder pool.

For this reason, the entire army was almost wiped out, and he was scarred and almost buried in the wilderness.

The prince did not know.

The goodwill gained in exchange for life was due to the fact of entering the city, which made his position in Xia Huang's heart return to the original point again.

If he knew this, the prince would definitely not listen to Chang Shenghou's advice.

at the same time.

On the Great Street of Jinling City.

Han Ling appeared, leaving him with one arm, standing among the crowd.

When the prince saw Han Ling's moment, he halted his horse and quickly leaped off his horse. "Sir, why don't you heal in the house?"

Han Ling whispered: "If I don't come, Your Highness will make a big mistake."

The prince's face changed slightly, "Sir, what's the explanation for this?"

Han Ling signaled that the prince was walking towards the side restaurant, "His Royal Highness, entering the city with such a big fanfare will probably arouse the displeasure of the Holy One, and the merits of his hard work will become less valuable."

"Why!"

"The solitary exploits are all made with real swords and guns."

The prince had a cold look, and he was obviously a little unhappy. Shence Jun's robe was in a bloody battle at Hukou Pass, and he had the victory of today's east.

Why can't they let them return to the city?

Han Ling said: "His Royal Highness, don't forget the rebellion of King Yong in the East, and King Xiaoyao is involved."

"You can hear that your Majesty is very satisfied with His Highness this time, and now that His Highness's move will make the Holy Master feel that he is deliberately proclaiming credit."

The prince squinted his pupils, and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Will is unpredictable!"

The voice fell.

He turned and returned to the front of the soldiers and horses, and his eyes fell on Ye Qianzhan.

Ye Qianzhan bowed: "The final general understands!"

...........

Afternoon.

Inside the Imperial Study Room.

The crown prince and Lu Bu appeared, and the war in the east was over and they returned to report on their duties.

Emperor Xia sat on the head, his face sinking like water, and his eyes flicked over the two of them, "Prince, I'm back."

"My son-in-law pays homage to my father!"

The prince bowed and said in a deep voice.

then.

He took out the military report, raised his hands slightly, and continued: "Father, this is the report from Yongzhou."

Emperor Xia glanced sideways at Gothe, who moved forward and took the report and placed it on the Long Case.

Xia Huang picked up the memorial report, frowned, and quickly scanned it again, "In the first battle at Hukou Pass, the Shence Army and Changsheng Army suffered such heavy casualties?"

The prince looked sad, and said in a deep voice: "Father, in the first battle at Hukou Pass, hundreds of thousands of rebels and Dongban soldiers are all elite teachers."

Emperor Xia put down the report, "The Shence Army has suffered heavy losses, and the follow-up care must not be sloppy, and the widow of the Shence Army must live a good life."

The prince nodded, "The child minister thanked his father Huang Longen."

Emperor Xia said again: "Prince, you must have contributed to the battle at Hukou Pass. Tell me what reward you want."

The prince said: "The father has already rewarded the children."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Father, in the First Battle of Tongzhou, more than 20,000 rebels were captured. The sons and ministers hoped that his father gave an order to kill them all to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in Xia."

Hear the sound.

Lu Bu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the 20,000 prisoners have already surrendered, and they will think that they cannot be killed."

The crown prince looked at Lu Bu and said angrily: "The rebels are very evil. They are killing the people and helping the people in the local area. They are really malignant tumors. Such people of despicable conduct must not be kept."

"Father, please order to kill the rebels!"

Lu Bu said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, don't kill!"

Emperor Xia's expression became cold and looked at the prince and Lu Bu, "You two have contributed to the rebellion of Emperor Yong. What is the style of making noise?"

at this time.

An attendant entered the hall, bowed slightly, "Have a letter to your majesty, see you by King Xiaoyao!"

Huang Huang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Quickly declare!"

When Ye Jun entered the hall, his figure appeared on Lu Bu's side, "My son, pay respect to my father."

Emperor Xia raised his hand slightly, "You don't need to be polite, the third child is here at the right time. Regarding the capture, your emperor brother and General Huwei will express their opinions.

"One person kills, one insists not to kill, what do you mean."

Ye Jun looked solemn, "Can't kill!"

Talking.

He looked at the prince, and continued: "Brother Emperor, in Tongzhou City, if it were not for the protection of General Gu Jiu, the prince would be the dead soul under the sword of Emperor Yong."

"A person who is not a sage can do nothing, and if he knows his mistake, he can improve it."

"God has the virtue of living well. Killing is not the best way to solve the problem."

The crown prince was not weak, and said sharply: "Gu Jiu has the merits to save you, and the merits and demerits can be offset. Others have never done so. They absconded with the daughter of King Yong."

"If it weren't defeated, how would you surrender?"

"Such a thief must not be tolerated."

"Emperor father, the traitor is outside the imperial study room, and he also asked the emperor to make an order to kill a hundred, so as to be like you, so that it can shock the world."

Xia Huang thought for a moment, "Gothe, let Golden Dragon Guard take the traitor into the palace."

In a flash.

Gu Jiu, Ren Tianxiong was taken into the imperial study room, the second general knelt in the center of the hall.

"Sin general Gu Jiu, see your majesty!"

"Caomin Ren Tianxiong, see your majesty!"

Xia Huang stared at the two of them, "Rebellion is a serious crime for destroying the Nine Clans, you will know that."

The two lie on the ground, motionless.

The mighty imperial coercion shrouded them, and the two of them were terrified.

Emperor Xia said: "The third child, tell me why not let the rebel prisoners be killed!"

Ye Jundao: "Father, killing prisoners can only act as a deterrent for a short time, but it will leave a name of cruelty to the people. On the contrary, pardoning prisoners is a benevolent government, and the people will know that the father is the king of benevolence and righteousness. Can be embraced by more people."

"But the only important thing in the country is reward and punishment. Rebels' help is already a big mistake. Capital crimes are unavoidable, and living sins cannot be forgiven. It is not a beautiful thing to reorganize the rebel captives and let them perform their merits."

Emperor Xia looked at the prince, "What do you think?"

The prince was silent for a moment, and said grimly: "If the rebel prisoners are forgiven, how can the world be shocked, and how can the soldiers who died on the battlefield be stunned?"

Ye Jun knew that the prince's plan to kill the prisoners was to avenge the Shence Army.

He is not kind.

It shouldn't be the way for the king.

Killing to stop killing is only a special method in a special period, and now it is the matter of Tongzhou prisoners.

It doesn't need to be so.

Gu Jiu, Ren Tianxiong is a rebel, but they are the people who know Dongman best.

The crown prince asked Chang Shenghou to guard Yongzhou, could he really defend the city and stop the Dongman army from outside the city?

With the existence of Gu Jiu and Ren Tianxiong, Yongzhou will have a little more protection.

In addition.

The border town of Yongzhou has a pitiful small population. The two thousand prisoners sincerely returned to their homeland.

Whether it is in military power or the emperor's propaganda, there are great benefits.

These Ye Jun did not inform Emperor Xia.

Because he firmly believes in Emperor Xia, as the king of a country, he has his own thinking.

Too much talk is counterproductive.

Emperor Xia groaned and issued an order, pardoning the rebel prisoners.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Jun and Lu Bu quickly thanked the emperor for his grace. Below, Ren Tianxiong, who was kneeling on the ground, said solemnly: "Thank your Majesty for not killing.

Emperor Xia said: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to, thank Xiaoyao King. He saved you and saved 20,000 rebel prisoners."

Ren Tianxiong looked at Ye Jun, and the latter waved his hand, "The general is a brave general. He can know his way back when he is lost. The future is promising, and he must not live up to the expectations of the Lord.",

Xia Huang waved his hand, and the two were taken by Jin Longwei.

then.

Emperor Xia's gaze fell on the prince, "He Saburo learns something, this is called the technique of power, the technique of controlling people, and it is very profound."
