wealthy queen

"My dear friends, aren't you afraid that Xia Guozhen cannibalized Chu State and turned against Da Qin? Many people present should remember that the first prince and concubine who conspired against the rebellion was the only prince of the first emperor Xia Guo. It’s a general fact, but if they feel that the first concubine’s death was wronged and start a war on this ground, what should we do?”

After looking at them uncertainly for a while, the emperor suddenly took the initiative to bring up the matter of the former prince. Most of the people present were old officials, and they were very impressed with the prince who was named the Eastern Palace at birth. I have doubts about the matter, and feel that if the first prince does not die, Daqin will be a different scene. No matter which faction they are from, they have to admit that the first prince is indeed a rare talent for an emperor, and he is kind and loving. He has great respect for his courtiers, and never suspects anyone for no reason. There were really many people who followed him back then, but it's a pity...

No one noticed the flash of pain and hatred in Pei Yuanlie's eyes. Didn't it be him and the late emperor and queen who killed his father, father and concubine?Now he still has the nerve to show it in public and say that one day, he will use his and the demon queen's heads to pay homage to his father, king and concubine, and then dig up the late emperor's body and throw it into the fire to shatter his bones and ashes!

Keenly aware of the subtle changes in his emotions, Shen Da, who was sitting next to him, quietly pulled his robe, reminding him wordlessly, don't reveal your secrets at this time, Pei Yuanlie is not bad at anything The person who manages his emotions just heard that the emperor is so shameless at first, and the anger in his heart is hard to calm down, and he quickly returned to normal.

"Your Majesty means to raise troops?"

Sitting at the front of the left, Wei Zehang, who also did not second with those ministers, asked in a low voice. I am afraid that there is no one else who dares to ask such a question. Pei Yuanlie dares, but he may not ask. Because he has not been an official, the reason why the emperor came to him today is probably because he has military power in his hands, or it may be because of other deeper reasons.

"I do mean that."

Even if he was afraid of the Wei family, the emperor could not lose his imperial bearing on such an occasion. His eyes met Wei Zehang without hesitation.

"I don't know what your majesty will use to fight? Who will you send? Great Qin has been fighting for years, and the treasury is already empty. This year, it has suffered from floods, and there are refugees everywhere. The people are already in dire straits. Is it possible that your majesty still wants to draw out the relief food?" As the military rations in the early stage? Soldiers are also civilians. Many of their parents and relatives may be affected by disasters. Under such circumstances, how do you let them fight? In the past, I waited to guard the border, even if the food and grass were not available, and I was hungry, I would defend the integrity of the country. , now His Majesty is not trying to defend the country, but to invade others, or to help Chu State, which has harassed my northwest border for several years, to fight against Xia State. Do you not take the people seriously?"

"bump!"

"Wei Zehang!"

It can be said that Wei Zehang is not polite at all. The emperor was so angry that he shot the table, his eyes widened as if he wanted to eat people alive. Since ancient times, loyal words have been harsh, and many wise emperors may not be able to listen to all the loyal words, let alone the current emperor?Although Wei Zehang didn't say it clearly, what he said was clearly calling him incompetent and incompetent!

Many people shrank their necks in fright, and did not dare to lift their heads, but Wei Zehang suddenly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, please take it back!"

The deliberately raised voice was deafening and resounding, and all the generals present gave their thumbs up secretly. Wei Zehang was indeed impolite, but which sentence he said was unreasonable?They have no objection to the emperor wanting to raise troops, but the reality does not allow it at all, but he insists on arbitrarily doing it, not only harming the common people?Once the public anger is aroused, the Great Qin Jiangshan may be ruined at the same time.

"My minister agrees!"

Shen Dafu and his wife looked at each other, both stood up and bowed, while Ling Wei gritted his teeth and got up and said: "Your Majesty, General Wei's words are reasonable, and I agree with you!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

With them taking the lead, all the ministers who really cared about the world stood up, and the rest were almost all the henchmen of the princes. If the princes did not express their opinions, they would not be able to express their opinions casually, and there was one who did not second The most important person is Pei Yuanlie. Although he controls the military power, he has not become an official, so there is no need to join in the fun on such an occasion.

"You, you...cough cough..."

"His Majesty!"

The emperor didn't expect that the Wei family's appeal among military generals was still so strong. He pointed his fingers back and forth like chicken claws, and couldn't help coughing violently before he could say anything. Yang An, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward immediately , the princes also flocked to express their filial piety.

"What a good General Wei, if the Xia Kingdom grows stronger in the future, and it really turns against Daqin, what will General Wei say?"

After taking two sips of ginseng tea, the emperor finally stopped coughing, clutching his chest and glaring at Wei Zehang fiercely.

Is he going to throw the responsibility on the Wei family?

Everyone at the scene heard what he meant. It is a fact that Xia Guo and Da Qin have grievances. If they become stronger, it is foreseeable that they will stand on the opposite side of Da Qin. But because Wei Zehang told the truth to prevent him from raising troops, he It would be a bit shameless to push all possible problems to him, and many people frowned because of this, especially those military generals, no matter whether the Wei family was in the imperial city or not, they would always be the leaders of the military family.

"Since the emperor wants to go his own way, I have nothing to say, but I still want to remind your majesty that if it arouses public anger and forces the people to rebel, our Wei family will not send a single soldier to suppress the people. It will be the same this time. The emperor will use troops." , as long as the surname is Wei, he also refuses to fight."

Who does Xia Guo's hatred come from?

It is impossible for the Wei family to take the blame for him, and Wei Zehang's attitude can hardly be said to be tough.

"you?!"

The emperor was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, did he still have the emperor in his eyes?

"This king is not good at fighting or anything, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with this king. Your majesty, why don't you let me go first?"

Pei Yuanlie, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stretched and stood up, and the emperor became even more angry when he saw this: "Yuanlie, your armored guard has been cultivated for many years, shouldn't you strike hard at this time?"

It turned out that his purpose was here.

Hearing this, everyone understood that the emperor was not stupid. He knew the current state of the Great Qin, so he directed his idea to the Iron Armored Guards who had been recharging their energy for many years. He needs to specially prepare food and grass for them, and at the same time prevent him from marrying Shen Liang.

Fortunately, he could think of such a shameless method, but how could Pei Yuanlie do what he wanted?

"Uncle is really good at joking. Could it be that you forgot that I have blood in my body, so it is impossible to go to the battlefield?"

A hint of sarcasm quickly slipped across the bottom of his eyes, and Pei Yuanlie smiled casually, insulting his parents and still want him to send troops?Daydreaming!

After staring deeply at him for a while, the emperor said gloomyly: "Then you hand over the armored guards, and I can send other generals to fight."

As soon as the words fell, the entire imperial study was silent. Who didn't know that the Iron Armored Guards only listened to the orders of Qingping Kings of the past?The Daqin royal family stopped paying them military salaries several generations ago. How could he have the nerve to ask them to hand over their military power?Not to mention the ministers, even the princes felt that this move was too unreliable.

"Okay."

Unexpectedly, after a brief silence, Pei Yuanlie actually took out a black tiger charm and threw it over.

"bump!"

"Give it to whomever you like, uncle."

The tiger amulet hit the dragon case dully, and at the same time, Pei Yuanlie's indifferent voice sounded. Everyone, including the emperor, couldn't help but feel a little confused. It took a while to realize that the other troops mobilized It is true that tiger talismans are needed, but the Iron Armored Guards are not necessarily. Even if they hold tiger talismans, no one can mobilize them without King Qingping's order, so he doesn't care at all who owns the tiger talismans. This tiger talisman can be abolished.

"Is uncle all right? I'll go first. There are a lot of wedding things waiting for me to worry about."

After all, no matter how the emperor reacted, Pei Yuanlie really turned around and left, and everyone was sweating. Even if the emperor made him unhappy, King Qingping would be too unruly.

"Bastard, bastard!"

The emperor himself was trembling with anger all over his body, but when he saw the tiger talisman, his eyes couldn't help flickering, and he calmly motioned Yang An to put it away. Seeing this, the generals All of them sighed in their hearts, the emperor really became more and more disorganized, which made these generals more and more chilling.

"I don't know which lover is willing to be in command?"

I don't know how long it took before the emperor's fury calmed down. Just when everyone thought the matter would be over, the emperor jumped directly to commanding the expedition, regardless of the objections of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, no, the treasury is now empty, and the people are struggling to survive. It is not appropriate to raise troops!"

Elder Xie Ge knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, Elder Zhao Ge followed closely behind: "What Elder Xie Ge said is reasonable, Your Majesty must not resort to military force, my Great Qin cannot afford war."

Now in this form, it would be good if others don't invade them, why does he have to send troops?Even if Xia Guo is strong and powerful, it is possible to target Da Qin, it is not like this!Could it be, is there really something else behind the death of the former crown prince?That's why he was afraid that Xia Guo would become stronger, and he wanted to stop it at all costs?

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers knelt down, including Wei Zehang and Mrs. Shen Dafu.

"Father... can you not fight?"

All the princes didn't want to offend him, and they didn't dare to go along with the ministers. Only the third prince, Qin Yunyi, asked cautiously. Even he knew that it was not appropriate to raise troops now. The Northwest finally calmed down. The disaster had just passed, and the people needed to rest.

"To shut up!"

The emperor sternly shouted, the third prince who was always afraid of him couldn't help shrinking his neck, bowed his head and stepped aside, Ling Wei, who was kneeling below, sighed helplessly, the third prince is a good one, but unfortunately, his heart is not on state affairs , the other princes, alas...

"The Wei family doesn't want to be in command, so what about Shen Aiqing and Huo Aiqing? Are you willing?"

The emperor only wanted to destroy Xia Guo's plan, and he didn't care how many people stopped him, so he simply called names one by one. Shen Dafu and his wife looked at each other, and Huo Yelin raised his head and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the two ministers, husband and wife, You can't call this handsome!"

"good very good……"

The emperor, who had expected it for a long time, laughed angrily, and turned his gaze to Ling Weize: "My general Ling, how about you?"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Ling Wei kowtowed deeply and didn't expressly refuse, but the meaning was already obvious.

"General Wu..."

Next, the emperor really asked one by one, as if he wanted to find someone to be in command, Wei Zehang couldn't stand it, suddenly got up, raised his head to meet everyone's puzzled eyes, and said: "Your Majesty really doesn't care about all the officials. To dissuade them, must there be a rebellion?"

"So what?"

The emperor is also determined, his eyes are full of prey and persistence.

"Then I can only report back to my father and let him ask for the imperial edict of the Holy Ancestor!"

Facing his cold eyes, Wei Zehang did not back down a single step.

The imperial edict of the Holy Ancestor? !

Is there such a thing?

After the words fell, everyone in the audience was shocked, even the emperor's eyes widened. It was rumored that the Emperor Shengzu trusted the Wei family so much that he even thought about giving up the throne to the descendants of the Wei family, but was rejected by the military god and his wife. , not only gave them the iron coupons of Danshu that can protect the safety of the family for generations, but also left them a pair of golden maces to beat down the faint king and the treacherous ministers, and a will to depose the emperor at any time.

Since the past dynasties, iron coupons of Danshu have been enshrined in Wei's house. Many people have seen them. Gold maces have also appeared many times. Not to mention, the former prince conspired against the rebellion, and the first emperor directly destroyed the East Palace without asking why. Old Wei The general once sacrificed the golden mace and rushed all the way to the palace. Many people saw it with their own eyes. As for whether the golden mace was hit on the late emperor, no one knows, but the edict has never been published. , even if everyone knows that the Wei family has the authority to dethrone the emperor, if they haven't seen it, they still have doubts. How wise is the emperor?How could it be possible to leave that kind of thing to restrain his descendants, but who would have thought that today Wei Zehang would directly say so.

If the edict really existed, even 300 years had passed, it would still be effective for the Qin royal family, otherwise, it would be a joke for the Great Qin to govern the country with benevolence and filial piety.

"You...well, very well, hum!"

The emperor pointed at him with trembling fingers, he was out of breath, and finally walked away with a dark face, and the matter really came to nothing. The princes and ministers who were left in the imperial study were all because of the emperor The matter of the will was difficult to calm down, no one said a word, and when they left one after another, they became more silent than one another. This matter was too big, and they needed enough time to digest it.
