Chapter 123 Why Are Everyone Silent Today?

After hearing what Emperor Xia said, all the ministers dared not believe it, because it had completely overturned their cognition.

Even if the King of the North was not a waste, it would be difficult for the soldiers of the North County to even defend Yancheng.

Now they were told that the King of the North not only defended Yancheng, but also swallowed up the 300,000 troops of the barbarians! ! !

Who dared to believe this?

At this time, the princes in the court were all stunned! ! !

Isn’t the ninth brother the most useless one among them? Hasn’t he been hollowed out by wine and sex?

Only he can lead the soldiers of the North County to defeat the 300,000 troops of the barbarians?

Is this something that a waste like him can do? ? ?

Everyone in the court suspected that they were still dreaming, so they dreamed of such a ridiculous thing.

The court was full of Daxia people. Originally, they should have been very happy after hearing such a shocking war report, but at this time, no one in the court was happy.

If everything Emperor Xia said was true and could be confirmed, it meant that Daxia was going to change! ! !

Killing 200,000 barbarians and capturing 100,000 barbarians is enough to rival the military exploits of Emperor Xia in destroying the State of Chen!

With such great merits, who dares not let the King of the North be the crown prince?

The King of the North has even reached the point where his merits are greater than his master!

At this time, everyone was confused, that is, how did the King of the North do it?

Secondly, the ministers were very worried. The King of the North, who had always been regarded as a waste by them, would not really return to the capital and become the crown prince?

In the court, there are the Eighth Prince’s faction, the Great Prince’s faction, and the forces of other princes, but there are no officials from the Ninth Prince’s faction.

Now even the Chu family officials in the court are already from the Eighth Prince’s faction.

As a result, they were told at this time that the Ninth Prince was going to return to the capital to be the crown prince! This is equivalent to making the investment of all the ministers in the court go down the drain.

They absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen.

Emperor Xia also saw from the faces of the ministers that they didn't believe it, or dared not to believe it, so he continued: "According to the intelligence from all sides, the Northern King has at least 50,000 heavy cavalry. Just a few days ago, the Northern King sent 5,000 heavy cavalry to the south to bring all his wives, concubines and children back to Yancheng."

When Emperor Xia said this, it set off an uproar in the court again.

Five... 50,000 heavy cavalry? ? ?

How is this possible! ! !

How could the Northern King have so many heavy cavalry! ! !

How could the ministers not know what heavy cavalry represents.

When Emperor Taizu of Xia conquered the world, 3,000 heavy cavalry directly chased after 100,000 peasant soldiers.

Now there are only 20,000 heavy cavalry in the whole of Daxia. Heavy cavalry requires a lot of resources. At least three excellent horses are needed for one cavalry.

In addition to horses, the most important thing for heavy cavalry is armor.

A set of armor for heavy cavalry may not be made by a craftsman in a month, and it takes at least three months.

How long has the Northern King been in Beijun? How could he have 50,000 heavy cavalry!

What does it mean to have 50,000 heavy cavalry?

This means that now the Northern King can directly declare his independence from Daxia and establish himself as the emperor!

And if the Northern King really has 100,000 barbarian captives, it means that even if the court knows that he is likely to rebel, the court still dare not do anything to him at this time, but can only appease him.

Logically speaking, the Northern King does not have the time and resources to build 50,000 heavy cavalry, so where did his heavy cavalry come from?

Since multiple intelligence has confirmed the existence of these 50,000 heavy cavalry, this question is very big.

Once the Northern King's 50,000 heavy cavalry is revealed, it means that he not only has the ability to rebel, but also the intention to rebel.

In Daxia, especially when Emperor Xia was reducing the power of the vassal states year after year, a vassal king built 50,000 heavy cavalry. What else can this be if not a desire to rebel?

At this time, Zhao Wenhan couldn't bear it any longer, so he asked directly: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, is it true that the Northern King has 50,000 heavy cavalry?"

Emperor Xia said coldly: "This information was sent back by the Governor General, and it was also confirmed by my shadow guard."

Hearing this, the ministers took a breath.

So, this is true?

The Northern King really has 50,000 heavy cavalry?

No wonder the previous battle report said that the Northern King led the Northern County soldiers to kill 200,000 barbarians overnight!

But then again, it is absolutely impossible for the Northern County to have only 50,000 heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry has an overwhelming advantage when fighting against infantry, especially peasant soldiers, but when fighting against barbarian cavalry, the advantage is not obvious, and there may even be a disadvantage.

Because heavy cavalry is more clumsy than the barbarian light cavalry, it is not easy to catch up with the barbarian light cavalry. If the barbarian soldiers want to escape, it should be easy.

If the battle report that the Northern King led his soldiers to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers is true, it must mean that the Northern King has something in his hands.

As for whether this thing is a weapon or an army, it is hard to say.

At this time, the court fell into a dead silence again.

It stands to reason that someone should impeach the Northern King for wanting to rebel, but the timing of the appearance of the Northern County Heavy Cavalry is really too good, just when the 300,000 barbarian troops are heading south.

The Northern King has just led the Northern County soldiers to defeat the barbarians, and you jump out at this time to say that the Northern King intends to rebel, isn't that courting death?

Who dares to come out and accuse the Northern King at this time?

This is the greatest military achievement since the founding of Daxia!

Who can accuse the Northern King?

Seeing that no ministers spoke in the court, Emperor Xia said coldly: "Why, didn't you even eat breakfast when you came to court, and you don't have the energy to speak? Aren't you usually very energetic? Why are you all mute today?"

As soon as Emperor Xia finished speaking, Zhao Wenhan immediately knelt down, then bowed to Emperor Xia and said: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is brave and good at fighting. He led the soldiers of Beijun to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers and captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers. He is the third person after His Majesty Taizu Xia. His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has made such a great contribution, and he must be rewarded. However, ordinary things are not worthy of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince's contribution. I beg Your Majesty to allow His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince to return to Beijing and make His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince the Crown Prince!"

After hearing what Zhao Wenhan said, some ministers cursed Zhao Wenhan in their hearts, saying that he was really an old fox. He knew that Emperor Xia was young and strong, but he was reluctant to make the Crown Prince because he was afraid that the Crown Prince would have other thoughts.

Zhao Wenhan jumped out to establish the crown prince at this time, and he had never thought of letting the King of the North be the crown prince. He was just disgusting Emperor Xia and trying to sow discord between Emperor Xia and King of the North.

After hearing what Zhao Wenhan said, Emperor Xia did not speak immediately. He glanced at the ministers in the court.

He was waiting.

Waiting for another person to speak.

At this time, Lin Gaoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly understood what Emperor Xia meant. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has made great contributions, I think that the matter of establishing a crown prince is a serious matter and should not be so hasty."

Emperor Xia still did not speak, and his eyes fell on the princes in front.

At this time, several princes were sweating profusely and dared not breathe.

Especially the eighth prince Lu Shuyun.

He has completely awakened.

He finally knew why his assassination failed every time, and finally knew who bloodbathed his mansion.

Their ninth brother is really hiding too deeply!

Everyone in Daxia was deceived by him!
