Chapter 349 Military Order
Upon hearing this, Jing** also looked towards the eldest prince.
There was a questioning look in her eyes, as if she was waiting for him to speak.
The eldest prince suddenly felt like backing out.
If he had just done it in one go, maybe people wouldn't have thought too much about it.
But he was interrupted by Yun Fuling and Xiao Jingyi.
If he continued to follow the original plan, his intention against Yun Fuling would be very obvious.
Anyone present who is not a fool can see it.
But it would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity.
After the eldest prince pondered over it secretly, he finally made up his mind.
So what if my thoughts are seen through?
Yun Fuling was the one who said the big words herself; he didn't force her to say them.
Besides, even if he did nothing today, wouldn't others think that he and Xiao Jingyi were friendly brothers, and not on a hostile stance?
Stop being funny.
He and Xiao Jingyi are both princes and are natural rivals.
I'm sure my father is well aware of this.
Even if it hadn't happened today, he and Xiao Jingyi would still be rivals.
The eldest prince made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:
"The smallpox epidemic in Shuozhou is of great importance and should not be taken lightly."
"It's not that I don't trust my seventh brother's wife, but although she is a skilled doctor, she has always only acted as a doctor and has never presided over local political affairs."
"It is hard to believe that Father has entrusted the entire responsibility for the Shuozhou smallpox epidemic to my seventh brother and sister-in-law."
Having said this, the eldest prince paused.
Yun Fuling thought to herself, here it comes.
The pit dug for her is about to come.
The eldest prince saw Yun Fuling's calm expression and had no intention of responding.
Xiao Jingyi stood beside Yun Fuling with a frown on his face.
The third prince looked confused, as if he didn't understand what he wanted to do.
But there was a hint of excitement in his eyes as he watched a good show.
The eldest prince felt a little tired for a moment and couldn't help but glare at the third prince.
I used to work well with him, how come I don't know how to cooperate with him now?
Without the third prince to support him, the eldest prince had no choice but to play his cards right.
"In my opinion, it would be better for my seventh brother and his wife to sign a military order."
"If the epidemic in Shuozhou is resolved, my seventh brother and sister-in-law will be the first to contribute."
"But if my seventh sister-in-law cannot solve the epidemic in Shuozhou as she said and make smallpox extinct, she will be punished according to military law!"
The third prince had just been glared at by the eldest prince and was feeling puzzled.
Hearing the eldest prince's words at this time, it was as if a fog had been cleared, and they secretly praised the eldest prince for his brilliant move!
Since Yun Fuling dared to volunteer, she must have someone to rely on.
Maybe he really has a prescription for treating smallpox.
If this is the case, then their previous concerted efforts to force Yun Fuling to go to Shuozhou was exactly what she wanted, and they were doing her a great service.
If they could get Yun Fuling to sign a military order in front of the emperor, they would be able to do more.
Whether it was letting Yun Fuling get infected with smallpox in Shuozhou and die, or secretly sabotaging her so that she could not resolve the smallpox epidemic in Shuozhou and was finally dealt with by military law, they would like to see it.
In this way, you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.
The Third Prince was overjoyed and immediately agreed, "Big Brother is right."
"This is a serious matter and needs to be treated with caution."
"Sister-in-law, you just boasted that you could solve the smallpox epidemic in Shuozhou and even eradicate smallpox in Daqi."
"In this case, I wonder if you dare to issue this military order?"
Yun Fuling had some guesses in her mind just now, but she didn't expect the result to be the same as she guessed.
Once she issued the military order, the eldest prince and his men could do something secretly to destroy her achievements in Shuozhou, and then use the military order to hold her accountable.
What a good plan.
It was a pity that the actions she and Xiao Jingyi had just taken had allowed the eldest prince to succeed in his move.
But the eldest prince refused to give in and insisted on going all the way.
This made the move appear in the open, and the lethality was not that great.
Yun Fuling glanced at Jing** who was sitting at the top.
Then I saw that his brows were furrowed. Although there was no expression on his face, one could feel that he was unhappy.
Yun Fuling was secretly happy in her heart.
Whether the eldest prince's move could be used to target her and Xiao Jingyi was not the point, but he was sure to lose the emperor's favor.
Under the overall situation, the eldest prince and the third prince did not think about how to solve the problem and share the emperor's worries, but only knew how to use some inferior means to plot against their brothers. Where do they put the people of the world?
With neither vision nor perspective, how can one be competent for such an important task?
Not to mention that Jing ** had already chosen Xiao Jingyi as his successor, even if Jing ** had not made up his mind and had considered them, after what happened today, he would have crossed them both out of the list of candidates for the crown prince.
As soon as the eldest prince and the third prince asked Yun Fuling to sign a military order, everyone in the hall had different expressions.
Although no one dared to speak, they exchanged glances with each other, their hearts filled with excitement.
The eldest prince and the third prince were brave enough to dare to speak in front of the emperor to encourage Princess Yi to issue a military order.
As if His Royal Highness Prince Yi doesn't exist?
I wonder how Princess Yi will respond?
Should Princess Yi establish this military order or not?
Xiao Jingyi just felt that his bottom line was being challenged again and again today!
Bullying his wife in front of him, do you treat him as a dead person?
Xiao Jingyi was furious.
He was about to speak when someone suddenly pulled his sleeve.
Xiao Jingyi turned his head and saw Yun Fuling gently shaking her head at him.
She moved her lips soundlessly.
Xiao Jingyi looked at her lip movements and understood what she meant.
She was saying, "Never mind, just watch me!"
Yun Fuling took a step forward, approached the eldest prince, and said with a smile: "Big brother and third brother, do you want to make a bet with me?"
Yun Fuling did not directly say "issue a military order", but instead changed the concept and referred to it as a bet.
Since the eldest prince and the third prince wanted to plot against her, she would just ignore them and plot back against them.
When competing on the same stage, what matters is who has better skills.
The result is that whether you win or lose, you have to swallow it yourself.
The Third Prince didn't realize that Yun Fuling had changed the subject, and asked immediately, "How do we bet?"
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Yun Fuling smiled slightly and said, "If I cannot resolve the smallpox epidemic in Shuozhou and make smallpox extinct in Daqi, I will lose. Naturally, I will be punished by military law according to the wishes of my eldest and third brothers."
"But if I solve the smallpox epidemic in Shuozhou and find a way to eradicate smallpox, then I will naturally win."
"If I lose, I will be punished by military law, but what if I win?"
"Since my eldest and third brothers want to gamble with me, they should offer some prizes. This will be fair!"
The Third Prince thought for a moment and said, "If you win, my hot spring resort in the eastern suburbs will be yours."
After the Third Prince finished speaking, he turned to look at the First Prince, "Big Brother, what are you betting on?"
