Chapter 741

Tang Yin likes Han Zhan very much, which everyone can see. Even when discussing military affairs in the central army tent, he allows him to sit in as an observer.

Now when he heard that he wanted to go to war with him, Ziying was stunned at first, and then asked with a smile: "Han Zhan, does the king know about this?"

"Uncle... No, I haven't told the king yet." Han Zhan already knew Tang Yin's true identity, but it was difficult to change his words for a while.

Ziying was happy, stood up, walked close to Han Zhan, and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Zhan'er should inform the king first. If the king allows, I will take you to the battle."

"This..." Han Zhan came to Ziying privately because he was afraid that Tang Yin would not allow it. Hearing what he said, he was immediately discouraged.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "If Uncle Ziying is willing to ask the king for me, the king might agree."

Ziying also likes Han Zhan, a young man, and thinks he is talented, has a photographic memory, and is a talent worth cultivating. Although this battle is to seek defeat, it is not simple. You know, it is easy to win, but it is not easy to deliberately lose and deceive the enemy. For newcomers, such an opportunity is too rare, and you can learn a lot of experience that is not in the books.

He pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, Zhan'er, I will take you to ask the king later."

Han Zhan was overjoyed and almost jumped up in front of Ziying, shouting, "Thank you, Uncle Ziying."

Ziying was also amused by his childish appearance.

Guan Tang cleared his throat and reminded: "General Ziying, you haven't told me how our army will be defeated!"

Ziying's face became serious and he said: "On the battlefield, the situation between the enemy and us changes rapidly. I am not a god, how can I make predictions?"

"Then..."

"Take one step, see one step, guess the moves, and fight when the battle comes!" Ziying said ambiguously.

Han Zhan added: "I understand what Uncle Ziying means, there is no fixed pattern in military strategy!"

"Haha——" Ziying laughed and patted Han Zhan on the shoulder, and said to Guan Tang: "Did you hear that, General Guan Tang, you are not as good as a half-grown child who has only studied military books for a few days."

Guan Tang is honest and straightforward, and it is because of this that Ziying dared to make such a joke in front of him.

Sure enough. Guan Tang looked at Han Zhan disapprovingly, curled his mouth, and uttered a low sneer of contempt: "Tsk!"

Ziying and Guan Tang took Han Zhan to find Tang Yin and proposed to take Han Zhan to participate in this battle.

Tang Yin has always despised books and valued actual combat. He thinks that no matter how well you learn from books, it is just talk on paper. A general who can truly command thousands of troops and be invincible must be honed little by little in continuous actual combat. Hearing Ziying's proposal to take Han Zhan to the battle, he just frowned slightly and asked, "General Ziying, do you think this battle is dangerous?"

"There is no constant in war, and every battle is dangerous!"

What bullshit is this! Tang Yin rubbed his forehead with a headache. He found it really hard to like Ziying. He sighed, looked at Han Zhan again, and asked, "Zhan'er wants to go?"

"Yes, my king!" Knowing Tang Yin's identity, Han Zhan also restrained himself a lot in front of him and answered respectfully.

"Then go! I'm very relieved with General Ziying here." Tang Yin smiled at Ziying and said, "General Ziying will protect Zhan'er, right?"

"I'm willing to guarantee it with my life!"

"Yes! Sure!" Tang Yin didn't like Ziying, but he trusted his ability and admired his mind. Lin Han might be good at using strategies, but in terms of using troops, I'm afraid ten Lin Hans tied together can't be as good as one Ziying.

"Thank you, my king!" Ziying and Han Zhan saluted together, only Guan Tang muttered in a low voice: "It's so troublesome to take a child to fight, it's a hindrance..."

His voice was not loud, but Han Zhan still heard it. He snorted and said, "A defeated general, you still have the nerve to look down on others?"

Han Zhan was talking about Guan Tang's disastrous defeat in the first battle of Zhanghe.

Hearing this, Guan Tang's old face suddenly turned red, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

Tang Yin smiled at first, but then his face turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhan'er, don't be rude! In terms of age, General Guan is your elder, and in terms of military rank, he is much higher than you."

Han Zhan was obedient. As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Guan Tang and said: "General Guan, please forgive Zhan'er for his offensive words."

"Ah, hehe..." Guan Tang smiled dryly and waved his hands, shaking his head and sighing: "It's not an offense, my nephew is telling the truth."

Getting Tang Yin's approval, Han Zhan was very excited, and did not stay in the big tent for long. He followed Ziying and Guan Tang to inspect the military camp.

After they left, Qiu Zhen, who was sitting next to Tang Yin, suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to dispatch the Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army back now?"

Tang Yin shook his head thoughtfully and said, "Only when the Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army are in the south will they put enough pressure on the Ningguo court. It's too early to dispatch them back now."

"However, the Pingyuan Army suffered heavy casualties after the Chunxiao Battle and needs to rest." Qiu Zhen reminded.

"You can rest in the place captured by the Mo Kingdom!"

"But our supplies and medicines cannot be transported there, and the Mo Army may not be willing to help. Your Majesty should write a letter to Shao Fang to let him know first."

"Yeah! That makes sense." Tang Yin nodded, secretly praising Qiu Zhen for his meticulous thinking. He said, "You can do this, and write the letter in my name."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhen responded, and then he stared at Tang Yin without saying a word for a long time.

Tang Yin was very surprised. He didn't know why he was staring at him and asked, "Qiu Zhen, do you have something to say?"

Qiu Zhen pondered, thinking about how to speak. After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, Han Zhan is from Ning and he has not formally surrendered to the army. It is not very good for your Majesty to keep him in the army and send him to go out with the army." It’s appropriate, should the king give him a military rank?”

When Tang Yin mentioned this matter, he suddenly remembered something. He patted his head, smiled, and said, "I have also considered this matter, and I am also planning to discuss it with you!" After a moment of pause, he asked, "Qiu Zhen, What do you think...how about I adopt Zhan'er as my adopted son?"

When Qiu Zhen heard this, his expression suddenly changed, he raised his hands and said, "It's absolutely inappropriate."

Unexpectedly, he would object so directly. Tang Yin was stunned and asked: "Why is it inappropriate?"

"The king has no heirs now. Once he adopts Han Zhan as his adopted son, he will become the crown prince of Dafeng. If a Ningren is appointed as the crown prince of our country, how will the people be convinced? How will the ministers in the court be convinced? If you do this, you must If it causes trouble, it may lead to internal disputes in our country and affect the king’s throne!”

Qiu Zhen knew that Tang Yin had a stubborn temper, and if he blindly went against him, it would be counterproductive. He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Besides, the king is young, and it is not appropriate to accept the almost adult Han Zhan as his adopted son. I will take a step back. Even if the king really wants to do this, now is not the time."

"How long will it take?"

"When the king has an heir. If the king has an heir first, he will be my crown prince, Dafeng. Then, if Han Zhan is adopted as his adopted son, no one will gossip." Qiu Zhen said with a smile.

"Yes, it makes sense." Tang Yin's original idea of ​​accepting Han Zhan as his adopted son was dispelled by Qiu Zhen's casual words.

Qiu Zhen opened his mouth and wanted to speak again, but in the end he swallowed his words.

Seeing this, Tang Yin asked curiously: "Qiu Zhen, what do you want to say?"

Qiu Zhen said in embarrassment: "I shouldn't say this, but I have to say it... The king has three wives, why not let the three wives give birth to a son and a half for the king? The king has great ambitions and often personally He will lead the troops to go on an expedition, but if... uh, I mean if an accident happens, wouldn't the king... wouldn't he..."

"No one has a successor?!" Tang Yin finished his words for him.

Qiu Zhen lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

He only dared to say this because of his close personal relationship with Tang Yin. At that time, it was taboo for ministers to interfere in the monarch's private affairs, especially the issue of heirs. One mistake could lead to death.

Fortunately, Tang Yin didn't care much about this, and he really needed to find someone to discuss some things. He sighed softly and said, "Qiu Zhen, you should be able to tell that I like Yin Rou. To be more precise, I love Yin Rou very much."

"Yes!" Anyone can see this.

Tang Yin said: "The future throne of Feng Kingdom must be inherited by Rou'er and I's children. If the three ladies and I have children together, it will be a big trouble in the future. Abolish the elder and establish the younger, whether it is the royal family or the royal family. This is a big taboo, and the disputes, murders, and fratricidal killings caused by this are everywhere. Qiu Zhen, how dare I not guard against it? "

"This..." Qiu Zhen didn't expect Tang Yin to think so deeply, nor did he expect that his feelings for Yin Rou would be so deep. Before the two were married, he decided that the crown prince would be their children.

It can't be said that Tang Yin's thinking was wrong, it can only be said that he thought too much.

Qiu Zhense said: "In short, I think that the king has no heir, which is a hidden danger." If there is a dispute within the Feng Kingdom in the future, it will definitely be caused by this incident. The second half of his sentence remained unspoken.

Tang Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't die before I marry Rou'er."

Qiu Zhen blinked, lowered his head, and did not answer. Sometimes, injuries can also affect fertility! He added silently in his mind.

After finally being able to find someone to talk to, Tang Yin felt much more relaxed. He stood up, stretched his muscles, and said quietly: "After Ning is defeated, I will formally propose marriage to Yin Zhun."

Qiu Zhen was shocked, not because of what Tang Yin said, but because of the way he called Yin Zhun. Even in private, calling the Emperor by his first name was disrespectful. This shows how far the Emperor's status in his heart has dropped.

In Qiu Zhen's view, with Tang Yin's ambitions and ambitions, he would never be satisfied with annexing half of Ning State. It would be a matter of time before he deposed the emperor and replaced him. Of course, he was also happy to see it happen. If Tang Yin could really sit on the throne of emperor, he would Maybe I’ll laugh even in my dreams!
