Chapter 541 Ruling
At the end of the war, the troops of the three parties were still gathered in front of the crude reviewing stand. The people on the stage were chatting freely, all of which were words of encouragement, and the people listening to them were naturally as absent-minded as before.
The same is absent-minded, but the emotions of the three are obviously different. The winner is naturally elated, and the loser is listless.
The performances of the three princes were also different, the first prince was dissatisfied, the second prince was very unhappy but had a strange sense of satisfaction in his eyes, Gong Xiaobai excitedly talked to the yawning Chen Fang.
Following Gong Zhenglang's words of "keep it up", and announced that Gong Xiaobai was the winner of this war, the war battlefield came to an end.
The emperor and the ministers left first, followed by the third prince and his subordinates, and finally the troops from all three parties withdrew, and the battlefield of the military exercise returned to its former calm.
The imperial audience hall.
In the extremely spacious inner hall, there are tall pillars carved with various beasts, and a luxurious yet dignified throne is placed in the middle of the opposite door.
Gong Zhenglang was sitting on the throne, and the officials in the palace were lined up on both sides, just like the situation of the emperor of Lan Xing Hua Family in the early court.
Apart from the ministers, there are four princes in the main hall. They are respectively seated on the five steps on the left side of the throne, and there is one step at the top. The seats are arranged according to age from top to bottom. Gong Xiaobai sits on the fourth step.
"In this imperial court competition, I, Saner Gong Xiaobai, won the final victory. According to the previous court discussion, he will become the spokesperson of our southern human race imperial court. Everyone has no objection."
Gong Zhenglang spoke slowly, showing the majesty of the emperor.
The ministers listed in the palace were silent, and apparently no one raised any objections.
But the eldest prince was not convinced, he got up and bowed to Gong Zhenglang and said, "Father, my son is not convinced, the third brother won this time only by conspiracy and tricks, in terms of frontal strength, how can he match me and the second brother?" Brother, I ask Father and Emperor to fight again, and pray for a decisive victory."
The great emperor Gongtian bowed his head and waited quietly after finishing speaking.
"Father, I also have objections to the result. Although I was not on the field, I have been watching it all the time. Personally, I really think that the third brother is not an aboveboard duel, and the victory is not martial. Please learn from the father." Sheng also stood up to support the eldest prince at this time.
The expression on Gong Zhenglang's face after hearing this was confusing. Instead of looking at Gong Tian and Gong Sheng, he asked the second emperor's womb who was sitting upright, "Fanger, do you think so too?"
Gong Fang got up and said respectfully: "Father, my son has no objection. If you lose, you lose. Whether you lose by conspiracy or in a frontal battle, it is all because of your lack of ability. My son accept the result."
Gong Fang conceded the defeat, but in his words, he defined the strategy used by Gong Xiaobai in the battle as a conspiracy.
Before Gong Tian bluntly said that he was not convinced that he was defeated by a conspiracy, and later Gong Tian mentioned that he was defeated by a conspiracy. He obviously meant to retreat in order to advance.
Anyway, Gong Tian was unconvinced and raised an objection, and Gong Sheng assisted, if there is one more him, if there is no more, he will not see a single one, if Gong Zhenglang agrees to the comparison, he will earn it, if it is rejected, it will appear that he There is nothing wrong with judging the situation and understanding the heart of the king, and you can still earn it.
Hearing that Gong Fang said that he had no objection, Gong Tian stood up and widened his eyes in an instant. His eyes were a little disbelieving that Gong Fang was not standing on his own line, and he was very angry, "You..."
But before Gong Tian could speak, Gong Zhenglang interrupted him directly, "San'er, what do you think?"
Gong Xiaobai stood up timidly, obviously he had already won, why did the eldest brother not admit it, what kind of conspiracy, what they said was really ugly, and now he said to Gong Zhenglang a little aggrieved: "Father, I won!" Woolen cloth."
Gong Zhenglang was suffocated, but his expression remained the same, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. No matter what the occasion, these three children looked like children, and they were not afraid of being laughed at. It's really... Sigh.
"The winner of this big competition has already been decided is San'er. You are not convinced and want to start another competition. What you say doesn't count. What I said is biased." Gong Zhenglang said slowly.
"How about this, Gong Bei Wang, you have seen this big competition clearly from beginning to end, and it is up to you to decide whether there is another competition or not."
For the princes, Gong Beiwang hopes in his heart that there will be no conflicts between them and that they can support each other. In fact, he agrees with the result in his heart. The relationship between father and son has become a little indecisive, so he throws the problem to Gong Beiwang, the commander-in-chief who has always been strict and is not from any faction.
"Since Your Majesty wants me to make the decision, I think the third prince will win the competition." Gong Beiwang said sonorously.
"Uncle..." The eldest prince was interrupted just as he spoke.
"Above the court is called Marshal!" Gong Beiwang sternly corrected him.
Gong Beiwang is not Gong Zhenglang's brother, but a clan brother. Because of his status and military power, the princes all call him uncle in private to show their closeness.
"Marshal, the third brother's use of insidious tricks in this military battle is not to defeat my army head-on. As far as this is concerned, I hope it is fair." Gong Tian said.
Gong Bei glanced at Gong Tian, "When you were fighting generals before, Your Highness and Second Highness joined forces to attack Third Highness. In your opinion, this is a means."
"Third Highness, what do you think?"
"shameless."
Gong Xiaobai didn't expect Gong Beiwang to ask himself suddenly, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "They bullied me together, I was so angry at that time, two elder brothers bullied younger brother together, it's too shameless, hum."
Thinking of all the situations where Auntie Mei and Sister Jimo were injured in the battle field, Gong Xiaobai became more courageous because of his anger.
"..."
Everyone present was speechless about Gong Xiaobai's expression, and those who supported Gong Xiaobai even covered their foreheads.
My Highness, can you pay attention to the occasion and stop being so cute in your words, please?
"cough cough"
Gong Beiwang coughed to ease the embarrassment of the situation, "Your Highness, do you mean that they teamed up in the field of generals, and their methods were not bright enough, and they didn't give you an equal opportunity, which is unfair."
"Is there? There is a three-party fight. If you want to win, isn't it just to unite one party to attack the other to decide the winner? Although I am angry with them bullying me together, I don't think there is anything wrong." Gong Xiaobai said seriously, this is What Chen Fang mentioned before, he wrote down and said it here.
Gong Beiwang's eyes lit up, but they disappeared in an instant.
"Third Highness, do you really just think it's too much, and don't think it's unfair?"
"What's unfair, they didn't bribe the referee to blow the whistle, and they didn't poison my people off the field to make my people unable to show their strength. They just joined forces on the spot and played some tricks. There is nothing unfair about it." Gong Xiaobai sent to Say it from the heart.
Gong Beiwang nodded, although what Gong Xiaobai said was unexpectedly not what he wanted, but it made him look at Gong Xiaobai with admiration.
"Your Highness, why do you say that His Highness the Third Highness is using conspiracies and tricks? Where are you unconvinced?" Gong Beiwang asked.
"The third brother asked me to form an alliance before the war, saying that he would defeat the second brother together, but after the war started, he joined forces with the second brother to attack us, and even sent people to sneak attack on my castle. This is a violation of the contract, it is shameless, I am angry It's a frontal confrontation, I have absolute strength to win, but I was defeated by my third brother's tricks and tricks, and I didn't show my true strength, I don't accept it." Gong Tian said angrily.
Childish, Gong Beiwang felt disdainful when he heard this.
"My uncle said that soldiers never tire of cheating, whoever told you to believe it, who is to blame." Gong Xiaobai muttered in a low voice.
Soldiers never tire of cheating? Interesting, Gong Beiwang glanced at Gong Xiaobai.
"Your Highness, not all battles are resolved by brute force. The Third Highness uses tactics to make you fight against the Second Highness, sending people to sneak into the rear and cut the flag. This is great wisdom. Conspiracies and tricks are for you, but for him To us other onlookers, it is just a means of winning with weakness, and it would be too much of our own position to say that it is a trick."
"If you want to become the spokesperson of my royal family, you only need a strong army, and you need to have a strategy."
"In other words, His Highness the Third Highness showed resourcefulness that you did not show in this battle, and that is the reason why I ruled that His Highness the Third Highness won." Gong Beiwang said slowly.
"How can the third brother be resourceful, he relies on his subordinates, I can also find smart people." Gong Tian still refused to accept.
"After the fact, Zhizhu, Your Highness, not everything can have another chance."
"If this time it's not a military exercise but an actual combat, you're already dead."
"The next thing we have to face is not the battle between man and beast in the past, but the struggle between man and man. There is only one victory, and if you fail, you will face unbearable losses or even death. You think there will be opportunities to regret it, the enemy Will you have another chance?"
After Gong Beiwang finished speaking, he saluted Gong Zhenglang and left.
Gong Tian couldn't refute, his face became ugly, he understood that the result could not be changed.
"Okay, since the commander-in-chief has made a ruling, there is nothing to say, and we all back down."
Gong Zhenglang waved his hand and turned to leave. The prince and ministers saluted.
