Chapter 310 Fire at the City Gate (2)

After Grand Master Bai left, the prince sat behind the desk, the more he thought about what the old man said, the more annoying he became, and he complained to Chen Qi who was beside him unconsciously.

"Sometimes Gu wonders whether this grand master is Gu's grand master, or the two good brothers of Gu."

Chen Qi was about thirty, with a white face and no beard, wearing a sunflower collared shirt with a chest and back. Hearing what the prince said, he half bent over and said vaguely: "The grand master is probably too worried about your highness. After all, you are old. .”

Thinking about it, it is also rare to live at seventy, and the Taifu is almost seventy now, no wonder he is so long-winded all day long, and people are becoming more and more confused.

"Then you also feel that Gu has made a mistake and is very confused?"

It seems that Grand Master Bai's words have no effect on the prince, but because of face, he still feels nervous in private, so he rarely mentions these things to those who serve him.

The crown prince didn't expect Chen Qi to answer, after all, a eunuch, a rootless person, can understand anything.

Who knows that Chen Qi pondered for a while, but replied: "The servant also thinks that the Grand Master is a bit alarmist. After all, His Highness is the crown prince, one person is under ten thousand, and it is only natural to ask to reduce the military power of the vassal king." After a pause, he hesitated and said: "What's more, His Majesty is old, so it's normal for His Majesty to have such thoughts, after all, take precautions before they happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qi's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said in panic: "The slave made a slip of the tongue for a while, please make atonement for the prince."

The prince waved his hand, "Get up, you are the one asking alone, forgive your innocence."

Chen Qi is an eunuch who emerged from the prince's side in recent years. Most of the eunuchs in the palace entered the palace at a young age, and they didn't know a single word, let alone knowledge. But this Chen Qi is quite proficient in writing and ink, and he is very insightful, and the opinions he repeatedly put forward will always coincide with the crown prince. The prince loves talent, so he brings him to his side to serve him. Up to now, he has been regarded as a relatively useful person around the prince. Occasionally, the prince will talk to him about some problems.

After Chen Qi stood up, he said again: "The grand master's opinion is to maintain stability, but now the situation is staring at you, your highness, you have been in a passive state. If you can use this time to find out what your majesty thinks, at least you can advance Make some preparations."

At the beginning, the words Chen Qi said, the prince just felt that they were quite in line with his own wishes, but the words he said later made his eyes shine brightly, which seemed to be quite impressive. As for an eunuch like Chen Qi, he could think so deeply, the prince was amazed and greatly appreciated.

Because of the crown prince's invitation to play this time, there was a lot of turmoil in the court, some people agreed, some people opposed, and for several days, all civil and military officials quarreled in the court.

Everyone expresses their own opinions and each has their own reasons. Those who agree say that the vassal kings are getting bigger and bigger, and the soldiers are strong and strong, lest they threaten the imperial power, so it is reasonable to reduce military power. The objection is that this is the rule of the Taizu. Although the vassal king has local military power, he only listens to the order of the court.

At this moment, Emperor Xi also made his own reaction to the prince's request.

The book that the prince arrived was criticized by the Zhubi with the words "no brotherhood", and it was rejected.

Even though he was prepared in his heart, the prince was still shocked and furious.

What was shocking was that Emperor Father really valued those two low-classes, and what was angry was that Emperor Xi only valued those two low-classes and could not see the actions of these two people in private in the feudal land.
