Chapter 257 The Unfulfilled Emperor
257 A staff officer said to Hu Hao that the commanders are in place now and asked Hu Hao to come over to preside over the meeting. Hu Hao heard it, nodded, and then said to the staff officer: "You ask them to wait for me for a few minutes. I am still considering the appointment of officers. I will go over and discuss with them later!"
"Yes, Brother Hao!" The staff officer nodded when he heard this.
At this time, in the capital, the prince and the emperor had just finished their lunch. The prince accompanied the emperor to the garden. Now that His Majesty is old, he is not afraid of the sun but is afraid of the cold. The prince can only follow him.
However, the garden is still very cool. After all, it is a royal garden with many big trees for hundreds of years, and there are shade everywhere.
"Just just had dinner, your mother and your minor brothers are here, I didn't ask you, what do you think of Hu Hao?" His Majesty walked slowly in front, and the prince followed behind.
"I don't have much contact with Hu Hao, but I have heard a lot about him. When I was fighting in school, I went to fight Mu Zhifu's son to use electricity, and to recruit soldiers privately.
Based on his performance today, he should be a very loyal person, not a turn, and he is very impatient!" The prince thought for a moment and spoke.
"Haha, it's pretty accurate, but this person is very smart. Do you admit it?" His Majesty said to the prince when he heard it.
"Well, he is very smart. He can escape punishment every time. He has courage and strategy. I heard that this person is very loyal and has nothing to say to his brother!" The prince nodded and said.
"Remember this sentence, this person is loyal!" His Majesty heard it and said to the prince.
"Why? Is there any explanation?" The prince heard it and looked at his father and asked.
"Of course there is an explanation. Think about Li Jinsong, this person has vision, and Jiang Kai also has it. Putting aside other factors, they recommend Hu Hao, and they trust Hu Hao, which proves that Hu Hao is capable, right?
And this time, I want Hu Hao to promote the list. You have not thought of it at all. Li Jinsong is definitely in the lieutenant general's sequence, so there are two lieutenant generals in Li Tianyuan's family.
Li Tianyuan is actually unable to become a general. One is that he is old, and the other is that he has no remarkable results!" His Majesty said while standing there.
"Yes, but why did you propose to release the organization of five armies? You said you wanted Li Tianyuan to come up, and I thought you would really get him promoted!" The prince looked at his father in confusion and asked.
"Li'er, my father is old, I feel a lot older recently. My father is unable to do anything. There are some things, my father wants to tell you and teach you. There are two reasons why I raised it.
First, Hu Hao is a civilian. I now need to set an example for civilians to see and for the children of aristocratic families to see and let them know that civilians can all become generals. So as long as those children of aristocratic families can fight, they will definitely become generals.
The second is that the father needs to block the general and the others' mouths and let them choose people by themselves. I only have Hu Hao!" His Majesty walked in front, and the Prince followed behind.
"Why?" The prince felt a little shocked. He felt as if His Majesty had played the generals again.
"When will the children of aristocratic families not consider the interests of the family, and when the interests of the empire are taken into consideration, I will let them get everything they want. Otherwise, I will not mind destroying the aristocratic families and giving up their positions to those civilian generals,
Li'er, as the prince, you must be cautious. Not everything you can say to people outside. This is related to the security of the empire. I know what you are worried about and those brothers are snatching your position. But, ask yourself, what have I taught you in addition to personally teaching you? Well? Governing the country is not that simple.
As an emperor, you must be generous and stingy. When you encounter something, don’t be anxious and keep it steady first. For example, this time we were invaded. I know that many people have suffered. If I am anxious, the people below will be even more anxious, and the officers below will be anxious, and they will be in chaos.
What is stingy? It means rewarding when it should be rewarded, but they are too greedy and should be cured.
You are the prince, the future emperor, the general is a mediocre person,
I have told you that he cannot assist you in governing the world. However, this Hu Hao really surprised me a little. Today, I was quite surprised and surprised by his performance. He is generous, simple, petty, and not panic when encountering problems!
He knew everything he should and what he should not, and he knew very well. Such a person is a talented person. If you have time, communicate more with this student. He is your student and use it first. If you find something wrong, you can deal with him.
You said he was loyal before, and you said, "You are kind to him, who will he not follow you, or other princes?" He is not stupid, if the ready-made prince does not follow him, he would rather follow other princes to take risks. Besides, if you treat him well, he is yours, do you know?" His Majesty was tired and sat down on a stool under a big tree.
The prince originally wanted to stand, but His Majesty slapped the side and the prince sat down.
"Yes, the father taught me a lesson!" the prince nodded and said.
"General, I am too greedy. I have given him a lot. He thought I don't know what he is doing? I don't know what the empire is doing? Sometimes, I just turn a blind eye. There is no chaos below anyway, but now it's a war period, and I'm going to move his position! As long as there is a suitable person, I will replace him!" His Majesty sat there and said.
"But if he is replaced, what will the outside world say to me? They will definitely say that I am out of favor, the prince's position is unstable, and he even intends to deliberately send out the news!" The prince sat there and spoke.
"Ma Zhenling also needs to be replaced!" His Majesty turned his head and looked at the prince.
"Ah?" The prince heard this and looked at His Majesty in surprise.
"Silly boy, I said that your greatest support is me. Oh, you have a slow mind reaction, but you are loyal and considerate of your own people. I know!
But now it is a chaotic world. I hope you can show this loyalty to those who are truly useful, rather than to the wastes of the generals!" His Majesty sat there and said.
"Yes, the child disappointed my father!" When the prince heard this, tears were almost falling. Putting aside the others, he, the prince, was indeed favored by His Majesty.
"I hope that in my lifetime, I can help you fight the coalition forces out, stabilize the current situation, and then hand over the position to you. Oh, if it is really, I will hand it over to you now. I guess I don't know how many people will rebel. Just Tang Long, he will be the first to rebel, do you know?" His Majesty sat there and looked at the prince and said.
"He? Will he rebel?" The prince heard this and looked at his father in shock.
"What do you think? The general has been passed down in our Dongling Empire for hundreds of years, and its power is spread throughout the Dongling Empire. Their population is no smaller than our royal family. Think about it, if you can't stabilize the situation, he will be the first to rebel. I know them too much!" His Majesty sat there and said.
"I understand!" the prince said.
"The general you can really use is Jiang Kai. Jiang Kai. If you don't force him, he will not have any intention. Other war zone commanders are in trouble. They don't have that ability!" His Majesty continued.
"But he can't control so many troops?" the prince said.
"Why do you want to give him so many troops and make his troops controllable?" His Majesty looked at the prince and said.
"That's right!" The prince nodded when he heard this.
"What I worry most is Hu Hao. If Hu Hao follows Jiang Kai, then once I leave, the general will rebel. Jiang Kai has Hu Hao, and he may also rebel.
Hu Hao is capable, you must conquer Hu Hao. If you have Hu Hao in your hands, then if you rebel, you can let Hu Hao go, maybe you can kill them even if you can.
I may not have much time left, maybe three or five years, I hope I can help you clear out all the possible threats!" His Majesty said in a sigh.
"Father, it's not that serious now, right?" the prince said immediately.
"Not that serious? The royal families in the entire Central Region may all be reshuffled in this war. I am old. If I can make me 10 years younger, I will definitely expand the territory of my Dongling Empire by more than twice!" His Majesty said to the prince.
"Ah, now, they have not been invaded now?" the prince said to look at His Majesty.
"Do you know what is going on sooner or later? What is going on sooner or later!" His Majesty said.
"So, our reinforcements may also go back?" the prince thought of this and spoke.
"Why do I need to form five armies?" His Majesty said to the prince.
"The child really didn't expect this, which disappointed the father!" The prince was quite shocked.
He never thought that the empire would destroy the country. Although he said it, he thought it was impossible. The Dongling Empire was so big and so rich, how could it be destroyed? So half of the territory now occupied, as long as the troops were reorganized, they could be killed immediately.
"After going back, select some of our royal children and let them go to Hu Hao's side!" His Majesty said.
"What? Go to Hu Hao?" The prince heard this and looked at His Majesty with some confusion.
