Chapter Three Hundred and Sixtieth Escalation of Contradiction
As the sound rang out, a person came in from outside the tent. When Xiahou Wanqi saw this person, he couldn't help but frown. When Xiahou Wenda saw the person coming in, he immediately said happily: "Prime Minister Li, you are finally here. If you come one step later, you will not be able to see me."
At this time, Li Shuwen did not take away Xiahou Wenda's words. He only saw him holding an imperial edict in his hands and said, "Your Majesty has an imperial edict. Xuan Xiahou Wenda will go to the palace to meet. He also granted Xiahou Wenda the title of General of the Great Yong Kingdom, and took over all the people and military powers inside and outside the Eastern Capital. Please ask General Xiahou Wenda to come forward to receive the edict."
At this time, Xiahou Wenda, who was still kneeling on the ground, immediately knelt down in great pleasure after hearing Li Shuwen's declaration of the imperial edict, and thanked him: "My dear Xiahou Wenda received the imperial edict, long live Your Majesty." As he said that, he opened his hands and took over the imperial edict.
The most embarrassing person at this time was Xiahou Wanqi. He was about to dismiss Xiahou Wenda's armed forces just now, but he did not expect that the court issued an imperial edict and directly announced Xiahou Wenda as the general of the Dayong Kingdom. Isn't this embarrassing their Xiahou family? And what's even more hateful is that the court actually let Xiahou Wenda take over all the people and military power inside and outside the Dongdu City, which simply did not take their Xiahou family seriously.
If Xiahou Bo or Xiahou Xiaoye were still alive, the court would never dare to do this. Just as Xiahou Wanqi was gritting his teeth, Xiahou Wenda laughed blushed and said, "Prime Minister Li, thank you for your great help. If you hadn't arrived in time, maybe I would have entered the prison of the clan at this time, hahaha."
Looking at Xiahou Wenda who was laughing endlessly, Li Shuwen couldn't help but smile and said, "General Wenda, congratulations on becoming the general of our dynasty. If you have any problems in the future, please take care of the general."
"Prime Minister Li is so polite. If you want to take care of me, the Prime Minister will take care of me. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's recommendation, I, Xiahou Wenda, wouldn't have been as glorious as I am today. By the way, Prime Minister, please wait a moment and wait until I handle the matters in the army before going to see Your Majesty with you?"
"It's okay, even if the General is going to do your business, Your Majesty is also busy dealing with state affairs at this moment, and he will not care about you for a while."
After hearing Li Shuwen's words, Xiahou Wenda felt relieved. At this moment, he came to Xiahou Wanqi and said, "Clan leader, it seems that I can't go to the Hui tribe with you. If you have anything to do, wait until I have seen Your Majesty. By the way, I have recorded what you announced just now, but I am now a general of the court, and the affairs of this lion army are also within my jurisdiction. Therefore, from now on, I will station the lion army permanently and take over all the affairs of the army." As he said that, he ordered several of his confidants to take over the affairs of the army immediately.
After watching Xiahou Wenda take over the military affairs unscrupulously, Xiahou Wanqi was so angry that he stopped him and said, "Xiahou Wenda, I think you are crazy. The Lion Army is the private army of my Xiahou family. Who dares to interfere in the affairs of my Xiahou family? Don't think that you can point fingers in front of me if you are a general. Our Lion Army will never accept any orders from you."
After hearing Xiahou Wanqi's words, the soldiers in the army immediately surrounded Xiahou Wenda and others. At this time, Li Shuwen saw that the signs were wrong, and immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? Do your Xiahou family want to be n? Don't forget that this is the Dongdu City, and your Xiahou Mansion is still in the Dongdu City. By the way, when I came, I had already notified the garrison of Beidaying. I believe they are rushing here at this time. I want to see if your Xiahou family really wants to rebel."
At this time, Xiahou Wanqi calmed down and hugged Li Shuwen and said, "Mr. Li, this is the camp of our Xiahou family. I don't think you, an outsider, need to interfere in our tribe. Since Your Majesty has granted my cousin the general, please trouble Lord Li to take him away. We can't tolerate him, the general."
"Class of Xiahou, what do you mean by saying this? Don't forget that this is the land of my Dayong Kingdom. As the saying goes, all the world is the king's land, and all the land is the king's minister. Is the chief of Xiahou really going to oppose the court?"
"Mr. Li, you can only talk to us. If you have the ability, go and tell Yang Lingshan, Mu Ye and the others. As long as they come to Dongdu City and bow to His Majesty, they will bow to His Majesty.
I am sanctioned, my Xiahou family is willing to be the first to stand up and accept any orders from His Majesty.”
Xiahou Wanqi's words made Li Shuwen so angry that he was so cold that he was about to scold Xiahou Wanqi for his bad intentions, Xiahou Wanqi sneered and said, "Mr. Li, our Lion Army has served many times since its establishment. There are countless children in our clan who died on the battlefield, but why did Lord Li refuse to let my Xiahou family go? Do you really want to let the disciples in our clan die and you are willing to die? I wonder when my Xiahou family formed such a deep hatred with Lord Li. If Lord Li insisted on being aggressive, then my Xiahou family would never let it go."
Xiahou Wanqi said that on purpose. In fact, his real meaning was to target Yin Rui'e and her so-called court. Now Xiahou Wanqi finally understood why the court had granted his cousin the general, and his purpose was to take over their Lion Legion. But the Lion Legion is the support of their Xiahou family, so how could it be handed over to the court? Once Yin Rui'e and others took over the Lion Legion, their Xiahou family would really become fish and meat that could be slaughtered.
At this time, Li Shuwen also knew the meaning of Xiahou Wanqi saying these words, but he still didn't dare to break up with the Xiahou family immediately. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Lion Legion is not comparable to that of the new recruits in the Beida Camp. Although they are already stepping up training the new recruits, they still cannot gain any advantage when fighting against the Xiahou family, so Li Shuwen could only bear this tone and said, "What a Xiahou clan leader, I will report what you said today to Your Majesty. Then your grandfather will make a decision on your Xiahou family." After that, Li Shuwen took a few guards and left the barracks.
After Xiahou Wenda saw Li Shuwen leaving, he suddenly lost his temper. He glared at Xiahou Wanqi with hatred and followed Li Shuwen out of the military camp. However, this time Xiahou Wanqi did not stop Xiahou Wenda. After all, Xiahou Wenda's identity is different now, and the leader of the Xiahou family really can't take care of this general, so he let Xiahou Wenda leave the military camp.
When Li Shuwen brought Xiahou Wenda to a small conference room, he saw Yin Rui'e waiting for them. At this moment, Li Shuwen hurriedly stepped forward to salute Yin Rui'e and introduced Xiahou Wenda to Yin Rui'e. It was the first time Yin Rui'e saw Xiahou Wenda, so after she said Ping, she asked Li Shuwen: "Mr. Li, how is the matter dealing with today? Have you taken over the lion army?"
At this moment, after wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Shuwen told everything about his life today. After listening to Li Shuwen's story, Yin Rui'e immediately said furiously: "It seems that the Xiahou family is really going to rebel. They don't take the orders of the court and me seriously. What's the use of me keeping them?"
As she said that, she also looked at Xiahou Wenda and said, "General Wenda, I have just given you an official position, but I didn't expect you to be driven out of the military camp by the Xiahou family. You are too disappointed. Since you cannot fulfill my expectations for you, then stop the position of this general. When will you help me fulfill your wish, I will not be too late to restore your official position."
