One year ago, Emperor Great Liang weakened the military power of Ping Liang in the north. Since then, there have been rumors that the imperial court and Ping Liang were at odds, and that Ping Liang's army was like a piece of sand.The various countries in the country have repeatedly provoked, trying to provoke disputes and conflicts, and trying to test the forces in Ping Liang's army.

In the eyes of those tribal countries, Ping Liang in the north is obviously a big piece of fat. They are always eyeing this piece of fat. As long as they find an opportunity, they will not let it go.

At this moment, the ministers in the Taiji Hall are in full swing for this matter.

"Your Majesty, Ping Liang is not as good as before. It no longer has much deterrent power to the surrounding tribes. If we don't take action, I'm afraid... we will be overwhelmed by then!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace. If war comes, we can prepare in advance."

"Your Majesty, the King of Pingliang has to be a treasurer in an important position, which leads to slack in the army and low morale of the soldiers. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous!"

...

A sentence of remonstrance made the emperor frowned. He sat on the throne with his palms on his forehead, frowning and meditating for a long time.

"The matter has come to this point, and the king of Pingliang can't absolve himself of the blame. It's just that the problem of the soldiers in the army is difficult to solve in a short period of time. Do you have any suggestions?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, one of them stepped forward and said, "Right now we can only send one person who is both famous and able to calm them down and convince them."

"The minister seconded the proposal. Since the king of Pingliang can't lift it up, he has no choice but to abandon it. If he uses it again, it will make him more confident."

"Yes, how can the royal majesty allow him to provoke?"

...

Several courtiers seconded each sentence.

"Then this candidate..." The emperor glanced at the crowd in embarrassment.

"Naturally, he can live in the King of Pingliang, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by the King of Pingliang."

"Then who is willing to go, dear friends?"

Asking such a question, the person who had been discussing fiercely just now seemed to be choked by the throat, and suddenly became quiet.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" The emperor turned his finger on Prime Minister Qin who had never spoken.

After being silent for a long time, Prime Minister Qin said: "It would be the most suitable for the crown prince to go, but now that the position of crown prince is vacant, I'm afraid... there is no suitable candidate for the time being."

"The Prime Minister is right, why don't your majesty take this opportunity to appoint the crown prince..." One person just agreed, but was interrupted before he finished speaking, "absurd, canonizing the crown prince is a trifling matter, right now is the critical moment, canonizationHow can the prince say that he can be canonized by canonization."

Chaos broke out in the hall again, and when everyone was at a loss, someone said, "Your Majesty, I do have someone to choose, but... I'm afraid it's not suitable."

"Zhang Shangshu, but it's okay to say."

"His Royal Highness Li Wang."

Hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

Shen Li stood in place with an extremely calm expression, and he didn't show any other expressions because of his words.

"Zhang Shangshu, it's not that you don't know that His Highness is not in good health, how can he bear the fatigue of traveling all the way?" The prime minister turned his eyes and gave Zhang Huai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, a sideways look.

"This... Your Majesty is also considering the current situation. His Highness once stayed in the Ping Liang Army when he was young. He advised the soldiers and won many victories. He has already won the respect and love of the soldiers. Although it has been many years, Your HighnessHis reputation has not dissipated, and the officials believe that His Highness is the most suitable candidate, and... His Highness has also been to Ping Liang before..."

"You still have the nerve to mention this, how did His Highness come back? He was assassinated and seriously injured and carried back, can't you forget?" The prime minister pointed at him and said angrily.

"This……"

"Zhang Shangshu, although what you said is very reasonable, but...His Highness's health is really bad, we can't ignore His Highness's health because of this matter, if something happens to His Highness, we can't bear the responsibility."
