All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao took a deep breath: "The 800,000-strong army, almost all of the country's soldiers and horses, still lost in the end?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "At first, when the emperor led troops for the first time, he was willing to follow the advice and arrangements of Duke Ning. After a few victories, the emperor was inevitably arrogant. The Duke led troops to rescue, but was ambushed by the Di people and died on the spot, the Prince of Ningguo desperately rescued the emperor, but also died of serious injuries."

Yu Youyao couldn't believe it: "Since Ning Guogong and his son died to save the emperor, why would Ning Guogong's family be convicted later?"

No matter what crime Ning Guogong's mansion committed, the two lives of Ning Guogong's father and son should be dealt with lightly.

"If that's just the case, then Duke Ning and his son are naturally loyal ministers, and the emperor will definitely want to posthumously, but," said this, Zhou Linghuai's tone was also a little sighed, and he sighed: "Ning Guogong and his son are in the army. The prestige is very high, because of their death, the army's heart is unstable, the heart is broken, and there are rumors of dissatisfaction with the emperor in the army."

After saying this, Yu Youyao understood: "The dog emperor is too small. Hearing these words, he will definitely become angry and angry. Not only will he not feel guilty for Ning Guogong and his son, but he will also blame them."

Really wolf-hearted.

"That's right," Zhou Linghuai changed the topic and continued: "Three days later, the leader of the Di army led a 200,000-strong army to the city. The emperor sent troops to fight in a hurry, and the 800,000-strong army was completely wiped out. , desperately brought a thousand elite soldiers and escorted the emperor to escape back to Jingzhao."

Speaking of this, Yu Youyao can already guess why Ning Guogong's mansion was later convicted and imprisoned: "The dignified king of a country, who is in charge of the army, but in the end the entire army is wiped out, like a lost dog, fleeing in panic, if this kind of thing is Spreading it out, for the emperor, is simply a great shame, not only damaging the majesty of the heavenly family, the emperor's reputation, but also causing instability among the people, changes in the vassal king, and many other consequences."

Speaking of this, Yu Youyao was already cold all over his body, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he used all his strength to speak out: "So, the fault of the imperial army's personal defeat cannot fall on the emperor. People took the blame and took all the blame, in order to preserve the majesty of the Tian family and the face of the emperor!"

Her voice began to tremble, and her throat choked with panic: "This is an army of 800,000, not 10,000, nor 100,000. It raised half of the country's soldiers and horses, and the entire army was wiped out like this, how could it be any one? Humans, what about the faults that people can bear? Only the mistakes of the masters can cause such tragic consequences.”

Therefore, in the end, all these faults became the father and son of Ning Guogong.

The 800,000 army was completely wiped out, and the emperor had to give the world an explanation. Even if Ning Guogong and his son were dead, the emperor would still punish the rest of Ningguo Gong's mansion, etc., to complete the scene.

Pity the father and son of Ning Guogong, who were full of loyal souls. After their death, they were covered in stigma, and even the Ning clan was sent to exile.

Zhou Linghuai knew that she was not feeling well: "After returning to Beijing, General Xu Jun, the great general of the expedition to the North, participated in the performance of Duke Ning and his son, delaying military aircraft, improper command, and ineffective supervision of battles, and more than ten crimes."

"It directly refers to the intelligence mistakes of Ning Guogong and his son, which caused the emperor to be besieged by the Di people and fall into danger, etc. To put it more bluntly, although Ning Guogong and his son tried their best to save the emperor, they can be blamed for their merits, and the guilt of intelligence errors can be exempted. "

"However, due to the death of Ning Guogong and his son, the army's heart was unstable, the hearts of the people were broken, and the entire army of 800,000 troops was wiped out. This crime cannot be tolerated."

Yu Youyao was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.

The fault of the imperial expedition, although the father and son of Ning Guogong had to bear it, the courtiers knew that the Ningguo Gongfu had already undertaken all the faults for the emperor.

This is the dog emperor, the fundamental reason for not abolishing the queen and re-establishing it.

The reasons she thought before, as her cousin said, are all obvious.

The Dog Emperor used the whole family of Ning Guogong's mansion, and also used the Queen's concubine to establish a deep and righteous image for himself, which was disgusting.

Zhou Linghuai continued: "Since then, General Xu has been promoted to Duke Xu all the way because of his great achievements in rescue and driving. It was also the loss of this battle, which directly emptied the treasury, resulting in an empty treasury and a decline in national strength. And empty."

An army of 800,000 soldiers, food and grass, swordsmen, armor, war horses, etc., is not a small number in normal times.

By wartime, the wear and tear increased exponentially.

And because it is the emperor's personal expedition, the equipment should be the best, but if there is a little mistake, it will be lost.

If you win a battle, you can also plunder the enemy's swordsmen and horses to support the battle.

Once defeated and plundered, it becomes oneself. At that time, a large number of herbivores, soldiers, swordsmen, armors, etc., did not exist in ten.

Fortunately, 800,000 to 300,000, the most sophisticated equipment and the most elite army, also consumed a lot of Di people's troops, causing the Di people to also hurt their vitality and have no successor.

Otherwise, the Di people would send their troops north, and the consequences would be disastrous.

However, the aftermath of the war was a huge project.

The entire army of 800,000 troops was wiped out. Afterwards, it needed a lot of money to sympathize with the families of the soldiers. The emperor was the first to ascend the throne, so there should be no ambiguity in this matter.

The country has lost 800,000 troops, and it is necessary to recruit and train troops again, requiring a large amount of food, grass, equipment, and so on.

This is another huge sum of money.

It was also a good thing. Later, Yu Zongshen proposed to open the sea ban, and then the Xie family helped. The sea ban was relatively smooth and could be filled.

However, maritime trade was only enough for the expenses of the imperial court.

Yu Youyao sneered: "It's all like this, the vassal king has not yet rebelled, and the court has not been in chaos. It is thanks to Emperor Dog that he has a good brother who is willing to do his best."

If it hadn't been later, King Li of Zhou guarded Youzhou, defeated the Di people, and shocked the vassal king and Chao Gang, how could there be a good day for the Emperor Dog to sit firmly in the country?

But in the end, King Li of Zhou was just another Duke Ning!

Really ridiculous.

Zhou Linghuai smiled without saying a word.

Yu Youyao calmed down the anger in her heart, and as soon as she thought about it, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened later? How did the first prince die?"

Emperor Gaozu was born in Caomang, and he was very orthodox. The direct descendant inherited the system, which is Confucian orthodoxy. Therefore, this dynasty placed great emphasis on direct descendant.

The dog emperor is not a direct descendant, two is not a direct descendant, and three is not a concubine. This is also the biggest source of his unstable position after he ascended the throne.
