His Royal Highness, King Yan, is a man who devises strategies and cares about his family and country. He feels that this is the reason why Yu Jingdu was able to sit in that position in the end.

There is no shortage of planning and calculation in this dynasty, but if you want to become the master of the country, it is not enough to have these things...

Yu Jingdu looked at the sleeping boy beside him, his heart was full of indescribable softness.

The next morning, he set off and returned to the palace.

The emperor has probably been overwhelmed these days, because after discussing with Xue Cheng for a long time, he could not find a way to solve the private army stably.

"Jingdu, you are here." When the emperor saw Yu Jingdu, his brows stretched a lot.

"Royal father didn't sleep well, and his face didn't look very good." Yu Jingdu said with concern.

The emperor sighed and motioned him to sit down, "If you don't say anything about Yuzhou, you should know who did it, right?"

Yu Jingdu nodded and didn't hide it. A fool could guess such a thing, and he didn't need to avoid suspicion.

"Now that there are tens of thousands of people in this private army camp, how to deal with it is a big problem." The emperor said: "If a little carelessness leads to a mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous, and the people of Yuzhou will definitely suffer."

The private army is raised by the prince, and the best way is to let the prince deal with it.

But the emperor has already been completely disappointed with the prince now, and it is impossible to give him this opportunity again.

"If the private army camps with tens of thousands of people really fight, Yuzhou will definitely be in trouble." Yu Jingdu said: "If it spreads to the border at that time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not attract the attention of the enemy, and maybe the border will be in chaos for a while."

By then, it would be a real worry.

When the emperor thought of this, the prince was even more disappointed in his heart.

"My son has been thinking about this all these days." Yu Jingdu said: "If you want to control the private army, the safest way is to break it from the inside, and catch the thief first."

The emperor thought about it and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's hard to say you're sure, but you have to try it." Yu Jingdu said, "Has your royal father sent someone to check their details?"

"The people from Xuecheng went to do it." The emperor said.

"It's best to find out the details of all the officers of the private army, pick a few who have weak points and hold them, and the rest who are not easy to hold, just kill the chickens and show the monkeys." Yu Jingdu said.

When he said this, his expression did not fluctuate, and he seemed a little cold-blooded.

But the emperor showed an expression of admiration. In his opinion, a person who is a king should be like this.

Be kind to the people, but never condone those who should be killed.

"What about the people who stayed behind?" the emperor asked: "Instigate them? But they are people who have turned against them. How dare they use them?"

"Royal Father, this private military battalion is not necessarily against the will." Yu Jingdu reminded: "Their soldiers are just salaried to do things, as for the generals, the master they follow is the prince, that is the future of the country. The master. So in their hearts, they might see themselves as the same as other regular camps."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, but did not refute.

It's just that when he thinks of the prince's thoughts, he feels embarrassed.

He is not dead yet, his son has raised private soldiers and is ready to be the master of the country at any time.

Obviously he never hid his secrets, and Prince Yu has always been condoning, why did he get these in exchange?

"At that time, find a powerful general to be the head coach, and in time, you will be able to use the private army revenue for your own use." Yu Jingdu said, "After all, although the private army camp is not justified, it is also the prince who stole the money from the court to raise it. Yes, it's a pity to give up."

Hearing this, the emperor was amused by his "planning" attitude.

"I don't see that you can live a good life." The emperor teased.

"My son has been in the army all the year round, and I know it's not easy to raise soldiers." Yu Jingdu said: "If you kill them all at once, it will be shocking, but how many people in this dynasty need such shocking? With such a thief’s heart, they don’t have such strength and courage. It’s better to give them a thousand pounds, and when they are subdued, whether they are scattered to various camps or sent directly to the border, it is better than killing them.”

There is another reason why Yu Jingdu thinks so.

That is what Li Feng mentioned in the news brought back, many soldiers of the private army battalion did not even know that they were private soldiers.

When the prince recruited troops, he must have used some words, which caused many ordinary soldiers in the private army camp to think that they were staying in a secret camp. After all, the military salaries they received, and even the military uniforms they wore were no different from those of the regular army.

In other words, most of them, not only have no remorse, but may even be loyal to the court.

"Very good, Jingdu." The emperor reached out and patted Yu Jingdu's shoulder, "I will leave this matter to you."

Yu Jingdu was stunned for a moment, "Royal father? You are not afraid of your son..."

"If the royal father can't even trust you, who can this country be entrusted to in the future?" the emperor said.

The implication of what he said was too obvious, and it was almost as if he was expressing it in Jingdu.

Once the prince is deposed, Yu Jingdu will undoubtedly become the most suitable candidate for this position.

When Yu Jingdu heard the words, he showed a little surprise and confusion at the right time, and even a little flattering in his eyes.

The emperor said with confidence: "Among these sons, you are the most similar in temperament to me, so I understand you. You have the ability and ambition, but you won't be blinded by lard like the prince. You are the same as me, no matter what. How much I want to get rights, but always remember to put my country and people in my heart, this is the reason why I trust you."

Yu Jingdu's eyes reddened at the right time, got up and gave a big gift to the emperor, "My son, thank you for your trust."

"Don't have any burden in your heart, let go and do it." The emperor said: "If something goes wrong, I will give you the bottom line."

If the prince heard these words, he would probably go mad again.

But Yu Jingdu was very moved, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
