Chapter 195
Not long after the old man left, a chamberlain came to report that Guard Qu Guangping was already waiting outside the palace. Emperor Fengyuan regained his composure, and his posture was so upright that there was no clue about it, so he was announced to have come in.
"Qu Guangping comes to greet Your Majesty," Qu Guangping strode into the imperial study. After saluting, he said with a face full of shame, "I forgive you for your incompetence. The person who plotted against Princess Anping has not yet been found."
"Okay, everyone knows where this person is and who he is instructing. Anping also knows in his heart that she will not pursue the case. You don't need to waste energy on pretending to be serious in front of me." Emperor Fengyuan said calmly,
"I ordered you to come here because of other important matters."
Now that he had spoken out, Qu Guangping felt relieved of a heavy burden and listened to the order:
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"I heard that your love has been as strong as an ox since she was a child. She was sent to the countryside for making a mistake a few years ago. How is she doing now?" Emperor Fengyuan asked casually, "Have you ever promised to your husband's family?"
"Your Majesty, my daughter is naughty and not yet married." Although his wife announced that his eldest daughter was dead, Qu Guangping did not dare to hide it in front of the king.
I left my father-in-law's home and found a job in a bodyguard agency."
"Okay! You have backbone!" Emperor Fengyuan was happy, with a glint in his eyes, and he said happily, "Look, how are the women of Wu Chu worse than the men?! Humph, it's just those old fools with old ideas and stubbornness.
It doesn’t work!”
He couldn't answer these words, so as not to arouse His Majesty's irritation, Qu Guangping lowered his eyes humbly.
Ever since Princess Anping won the contest, the civil servants headed by Zhao Taifu had been strongly opposed to her in the main hall leading troops to rescue. No matter how patiently the emperor persuaded her with good words and quoted scriptures to refute, all to no avail.
Prince Yan agreed with His Majesty's words. Unexpectedly, as soon as he nodded, Taifu Zhao pointed at his nose and scolded him for being unstable. Because his concubine's son-in-law was Bei Yueli, he deliberately sided with others. His intentions are sinister and he should be punished!
Kill your ass!
Qu Guangping felt that Master Yan's expression at that time was very meaningful and self-evident. This man was a soft nail. When he encountered the troublesome people, he would be beaten, scolded and kicked without any response.
But I stand firm and after expressing my opinions, I will listen to His Majesty in everything.
Regardless of whether the wind blows from east to west or north to west, it will remain unmoved, as steady as green cypresses and green pine trees.
But those civil servants all claimed that they would rather let all their men die on the battlefield than allow His Majesty to break the precedent and let a woman take charge of the army!
The problem is that most of the sons and daughters of civil servants are powerless, and none of them dared to sign up for martial arts in the past. Now, in order to suppress the princess of Anping, these civil servants are rushing to push their sons to the front line and die.
Oh, they are willing to sacrifice the lives of their sons, but Your Majesty cannot bear to let his soldiers die with them.
Your Majesty is a military general. When he was young, he fought with Marquis Dingyuan on the battlefield. The two brothers were known to love soldiers as much as their own sons. Seeing that Wu Chu had lost troops and generals one after another in the past few years, he remained calm on the surface, but maybe he was beating his chest secretly.
However, Taifu Zhao relied on his status as Taifu and scolded His Majesty until his face turned blue and he sat in a high position without saying a word.
Also angered by these civil servants was Wu Taiwei. This old warrior could win his approval for anyone with outstanding abilities, regardless of gender.
In his opinion, Princess Anping was the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan. In addition to her natural fighting blood, she was raised by her father's side since she was a child. She had served in the army and fought in battles. She had dealt with many assassinations at a young age.
And survived.
How many new soldiers in the court did not hang out with the veterans for a while and then were ordered to go to the battlefield in a critical situation? Even Zhao Taifu's grandson only knew some tricks, so he went to the battlefield to try to fish in troubled waters to gain military exploits?
People like that have implicated the three armies and caused countless soldiers to die tragically on the battlefield.
Thinking that he was the grandson of the Grand Tutor, His Majesty held back and rewarded Tai Fu Zhao's family. Such an incompetent person can still lead an army, so why can't the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan do the same?
There are only a few generals among them, so every one counts them.
What's more, she is going to save people. Once the danger of the Hussar General is relieved, the power of the army will automatically fall into Bei Yueli's hands! By then, she will fight with the army, and the brothers and sisters will go to the front line together. Wouldn't the Shanxi camp be even more powerful?
Such a good thing, I really don't understand what those old officials are so upset about.
The above are all Taiwei Wu's rebuttals, but Taifu Zhao ridiculed him for being so sick that he rushed to the hospital and sent a woman to the battle, and he was not afraid of the enemy laughing at him for being a broken man.
These words made Taiwei Wu so angry that Taifu Zhao almost got blood splattered on the spot.
In short, Taifu Zhao gave up his words, saying that he would rather die than let His Majesty do something stupid that will be ridiculed by everyone in the world! In Qu Guangping's eyes, it is not easy for His Majesty to calm down his temper and withdraw from the court. He dare not
Stimulate him again.
"Qing Qu, I have something to ask of you..."
Ah?! Qu Guangping was stunned, and immediately knelt down, panicking:
"Your Majesty can't do it, I can't afford it! No matter what your Majesty orders, I will do my best and dedicate myself to it!"
"In that case, Qu Qing, please come forward."
Qu Guangping stepped forward without hesitation, knelt down and listened to the king whisper a few words, then took a copy of the secret decree and put it in his arms, bowed and left.
After he left, Prince Fengqiu came in. Seeing his father's tired face, he couldn't bear to say:
"Father, it's getting late. Why don't you take a rest first? My son's matter is not urgent. We can discuss it tomorrow morning."
"It's okay, let's talk." Seeing that the prince was here, Emperor Fengyuan was slightly shaken. With his son's support, he returned to the bed and lay down for a while, "How are you preparing for things?"
"My son has sent people to Lingchuan to prepare the luggage. Song Hao is one of ours and will definitely make the arrangements."
"That's good. Although Anping's surname is Beiyue, the purpose of her trip is the same as ours, so there can't be any mistakes."
"I understand." Fengqiu nodded. After his father lay down, he knelt down and asked, "When does your father plan to let her set off?"
"She is seriously injured and needs to rest for at least two days."
I can only rest for two days at most, no more. As she said, saving people is like putting out fires, and I believe she can't wait any longer.
"But those senior officials in the court reacted violently. If they find out, I'm afraid something big will happen..." Fengqiu was at a loss for those senior officials.
"Then don't let them know!" Emperor Fengyuan said angrily, "What a joke, as an emperor, I can't help a bunch of old stubborns? My dear, don't be too honest, especially as an emperor, the court is like a battlefield. You have to adapt to changes and understand.
don't know?"
"My son, I understand." Fengqiu smiled as it was rare to see his father acting rogue.
"You don't understand." Emperor Fengyuan was not as optimistic as he was, "Son, you have never fought in a war. My father is afraid that you will not be able to suppress these old guys in the future!"
Although the prince has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has never been on the battlefield. He has always lacked a majesty that is condensed with murderous aura. Ah Zhao has it in her body. She stood quietly in front of Xiao Ba with that calm and majestic aura that made her
It scares people.
Xiaoba's master was right, keeping her would be like raising a tiger to disaster.
It's a pity that there is no way, history is always surprisingly similar. Just like me back then, I begged the late emperor to keep Bei Yueyan to help him stabilize his country.
"Father, that little eighth brother..." Fengqiu felt extremely sympathetic when mentioning this poor eighth brother.
Emperor Fengyuan couldn't bear it either. He hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Send him back to the countryside first, and then make arrangements after he recovers..."
After all, he was injured again after a father-son incident, so the arrangements should be slowed down a bit to avoid making things worse for him.
"Okay," Fengqiu nodded. Seeing that his father was worried and wanted to explain, he smiled and said, "By the way, father, something happened today..."
In order to enter the palace to watch the battle, Feng Wu, the son of Prince Duan, searched everywhere for a way. He couldn't find it, so he had to give up. Feeling that he was losing face, he simply went out to the city to hunt with some of Xiu Mu's colleagues.
"...I don't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but they encountered a few crazy wild boars. They were hit by several arrows and were not killed. Instead, they kept chasing them..."
As a result, a group of young people were all injured.
