wealthy queen

The Wei family's expedition is imminent, and both inside and outside the court are busy. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Even if the Wei family army is stationed in the southwest, all the military supplies need to be quickly gathered and sent to the southwest. In recent years, the emperor has continued to increase taxes. Many people's homes were raided in a row. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households were still very fast in preparing food and grass, but when it came to the issue of escorting food and grass, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to argue again.

Where is the Southwest?

The famous hometown of poison mansion, no one can use poison from 80-year-olds to three-year-old children. There are even rumors among the people that the air in the southwest is full of poison. In such a dangerous place, who would Dare to risk your life?In the past, how many people survived the delivery of food and grass to the Wei family army?Not to mention that now that the Southwest King is rebelling, the food and grass may be intercepted halfway. Even if the whole army is not wiped out and survived by luck, not everyone can afford the crime of losing food and grass.

Seeing the civil servants recommending them by name one by one, and the generals finding all kinds of reasons to reject them, the emperor sitting high on the dragon chair darkened his face. Just when he was about to explode, Prince Qin Yunshen stood up and proposed: " Father, as far as I know, when Old General Wei and the others came back with Prince Wei, they also brought back more than a thousand soldiers. Why don't you ask Old General Wei to work harder and personally escort the food and grass to the southwest, and let them Wei Xu and Wei Yang, who guarded the southwest, lead troops to welcome them, so it should be safe."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

As soon as the words fell, the prince and his party stood up to support the proposal, and the civil and military ministers immediately discussed it. Many people thought this proposal was good, and a small number of people thought it was too much. It is right for the Wei family to lead troops to fight. They have to come for the escort?If everything depends on themselves, what is the use of the court?

"Father, my son thinks it's wrong."

Qin Yuntian, who has always been at odds with Qin Yun, bowed out: "Soldiers are expensive, and Old General Wei is the head coach. The rest of the generals are also the core figures of the Wei family army. They should rush to the southwest as soon as possible to preside. In the big picture, how can you walk with food and grass leisurely?"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Not surprisingly, the fifth prince and his party also stood up, but Qin Yuntian's words made sense, and some neutral parties also agreed, so Qin Yunshen turned around calmly: "Since this is the case, the Ministry of War has always been responsible for escorting food and grass. Yes, then please ask Sun Shangshu to send someone to go."

This was his purpose, even if it was impossible for Sun Shangyi to go there in person, once there was any problem with the food and grass, none of the military department could escape, especially Sun Shangyi.

"The prince and the emperor will really make things difficult for Sun Shangshu. The generals of the whole dynasty dare not take on the job. You let Sun Shangshu be responsible. It is a trivial matter for the people in the Ministry of War. If the food and grass are gone, the emperor may be responsible?"

Qin Yuntian was able to fight against him for so many years without falling, not only because he was the empress's son, and his mother's family and his wife's family were powerful.

"This palace made a suggestion, and the fifth emperor didn't veto it himself? It is the matter of the army department to deliver food, grass and military supplies to the army on the battlefield. As the Minister of the Ministry of war, Sun Shangshu should be duty-bound."

Qin Yunshen had been prepared for a long time, so how could he let him fool him with just a few words?

"Brother Prince..."

"enough!"

It's such a time, and the two brothers are still fighting each other. Not only the civil and military ministers who remained neutral were disappointed, but the emperor was also furious: "Prince, you are the heir, have you never learned the words "soldiers are precious and fast?" Fifth, Sun Aiqing You haven't made a statement yet, why are you in a hurry? You are afraid that the King of Southwest will not be able to fight to the imperial city, are you?"

The emperor stared and scolded angrily. No one was showing favoritism. This is a common scene in the past three years. He personally supported the fifth prince, but he dared not trust him anymore because of Ling Yulin. No matter who he focuses on supporting, the other party will soon end up copying his family and exterminating his family. Now only the prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince are left to have a family. The only person the emperor can support is the seventh prince.

"Father calm down!"

Qin Yunshen and Qin Yuntian both bowed, and Zeng Ge stood up before the emperor got angry again: "Your Majesty, I do have a suitable candidate."

"Oh? Ai Qing, please tell me."

The old general Wei will be in command in the next day, and before that, the grain and grass must go first. The emperor had to let go of the opportunity to suppress the two, and sat back full of anger.

"Your Majesty, the person I'm talking about is Princess Qingping, Shen Liang."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent, Xie Ge, old Zhao Ge, and old both frowned unrecognizably, the Wei family hadn't left yet, how dare he hit Shen Liang's head?Is he old and confused?

"How do you say this? Aiqing is sure that she is talking about Princess Shen Liang, not King Qingping?"

The emperor was also puzzled, and asked Shen Liang to escort the grain and grass. Old General Wei was afraid that he would depose him as the emperor before he left. How could he fall short at this juncture after he endured it for more than three years?As soon as the Wei family left, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Pei Yuanlie and his wife. He would not be really stupid to run into the knife, but his proposal reminded him of Pei Yuanlie. Isn't his armored guard just idle? Well, escorting food and grass should not be considered embarrassing him.

"No, what I'm talking about is Princess Shen Liang."

Looking up, Elder Zeng Ge shook his head. Seeing that he still didn't understand, he went on to say: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the princess is the Lord of the Nether Dark Guard, and the origin of the Nether Dark Guard must not be elaborated by me. Back then, Mrs. Military God led the army They were the vanguard when they invaded the Southwest, and if there is anyone else who can deal with the poison in the Southwest besides the Wei Family Army, it must be the Nether Dark Guards in today's world."

So it turned out that he was playing the idea of ​​the Nether Dark Guard.

"Elder Zeng Ge's words are reasonable, and I have heard that their medical skills are also outstanding. That day, the wife of Major General Ling gave birth prematurely, and the child could not be born. It was the elder of the Nether Dark Guard who cut open his stomach and took the child out. , General Ling, is what I said true?"

Xu Qinping, a scholar of the cabinet and an old and proud student of Zeng Ge, followed closely. After speaking, he turned to Ling Weize, who was opposite. The emperor and all the civil and military officials all looked over at the same time. In the past three years, he has rarely actively participated in the discussion of politics. Ling Wei had no choice but to come out: "It is true, but..."

Ling Wei did not deny that this was no longer a secret, but after he paused for a while, he suddenly changed the subject: "But Elder Zeng Ge, Mr. Xu, have you forgotten that the Nether Dark Guard does not belong to Daqin?" The regular army is the concubine's personal guard, even the emperor has no right to order him to hand over the dark guards."

When it comes to the end, Ling Wei is not unstern. These people are crazy, and their idea is on the head of the Nether Dark Guard. Do they dare to think better?

"General Ling seems to have misunderstood it. I have no intention of asking the princess to hand over the dark guards. I just hope that the princess can do me a favor by sending the dark guards to escort the food and grass. Now the Southwest is about to go into chaos, and the princess is kind." If you are famous, you will not just watch the people in the southwest suffer and suffer, and you will definitely not refuse."

Elder Zeng Ge has been in the court for decades, and he has become a fine old fox. He explained clearly and at the same time set Shen Liang in a trap. If he refuses to agree, it will be hypocrisy. Few people sighed secretly that he was really old-fashioned, but Ling Wei frowned because of this. Did he not give the princess a chance to refuse?With this one time, there will be countless times in the future. Their ultimate goal is definitely to snatch the Nether Dark Guard.

"Father, my son thinks what Elder Zeng Ge said is very true. The princess Shen Liang is loved by the people, and she probably doesn't mind doing something for the people."

Qin Yuntian, who had just stopped for a while, stood up again, Nether Dark Guard, that is a big piece of fat!

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Not only the henchmen of the fifth prince, most of the officials in the court also bowed and seconded, and they also felt that the Nether Dark Guard was the most suitable candidate. The emperor did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought cautiously. The first two times he targeted Shen Liang, He was almost deposed twice, if it happened again, Old General Wei would never let him go, therefore, as long as it was related to Shen Liang, he had to be cautious.

Didn't Shen Liang do much for the people of Daqin?

However, those people who had good relations with Prince Qingping's Mansion frowned when they heard the words, and felt deeply worthless for Shen Liang. Over the years, how many people have been supported by their shop, how many people have been found jobs for them, and how many people's lives have been saved. life?Two years ago, a commoner's daughter-in-law had dystocia and almost killed two people. She had no choice but to ask Princess Qingping. Shen Liang went there in person without saying a word, and successfully saved the mother and child. More civil and military than the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, the fifth prince actually said to do "something" for the people. Compared with Shen Liang, who only knew about fighting for the throne, he should think about the people more.

"Your Majesty, I feel that something is wrong."

After thinking and thinking, Mr. Xie Ge still came out, and the emperor raised his head to look at him: "Why does Xie Aiqing think it's wrong?"

"Report to Your Majesty, regardless of whether Princess Qingping is just a back-home person, even King Qingping has not yet entered an official position. Now that the battle is imminent, the morale of the army is very important. If the Wei family army knows that the imperial court has sent the princess's personal guard to escort food and grass, What would they think? Cowardice before the battle will inevitably lead to low morale, which is a taboo for military strategists. Besides, who doesn't pay attention to the Southwest War nowadays? They don't even know the reason. If they see that the concubine is escorting the food I will definitely think that there is no one in Daqin, and even such trivial matters as escorting food and grass have to work for the princess's private guard. Rong Chen said something disrespectful. It must be unstable, Your Majesty!"

After Xie Ge finished speaking, he knelt down and fell on the ground. In the past few years, because the emperor has continued to increase taxes, there have been public complaints. There have been several peasant uprisings. He is definitely not alarmist. Leading to an irreversible result, as the elder of the three dynasties, even if the emperor had already separated from him because of his grandson's thanks, he couldn't bear to see the world in chaos and the people dying.

"presumptuous!"

What the emperor was most afraid of was that someone would say that his country was not stable, so he would stare and sternly scold him on the spot. Elder Xie Ge, who was lying on the ground, felt his heart go cold for a while, and once again had the idea of ​​resigning from his old age and returning to his hometown. What's the use?Rather than watching the Great Qin Dynasty collapse, it is better to return to the hometown with the whole family, and see nothing for nothing.

"My minister agrees!"

At this time, the one who dares to stand up is definitely a hero. Everyone followed the voice and looked at the past, only to see Marquis Lin'an coming out and bowing: "Your Majesty, although what Xie Ge said is a bit disrespectful, it is not unreasonable." , Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

With him taking the lead, Yang Wanli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also stood up. They were not stupid. Elder Zeng Ge and the Fifth Prince were clearly trying to plan the Dark Guard of the Netherworld, and they would definitely not let them do what they wanted.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Since ancient times, civil servants have died and military generals have been shrouded in corpses. Xie Ge's righteousness has infected many upright ministers, and they all came out, including Ling Weize and others who had a good relationship with the Qingping Palace. Seeing this kind of battle, the emperor The anger is still there, but he is thinking about Xie Ge's words over and over again in his mind. Leaving aside his last disrespectful words, what he said earlier is very reasonable. As far as his personal wishes are concerned, he doesn't want to provoke Shen Liang at this time either. The future is long, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"All Aiqings are flat."

The emperor, who had made a decision in a moment, waved his hands and sat back. Xie Gelao and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. It seemed that he had listened to their words.

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead my troops to escort the food and grass to the southwest."

It was inevitable that he would attack the Iron Armored Guards again, but Ling Wei took the initiative to plead for orders. The Wei Family Army is his own, so it doesn't matter to run for them.

"really?!"

Finally, someone was willing to take over this hot potato, and the emperor's face showed surprise. Elder Zeng Ge and others who had returned home looked dissatisfied at Elder Xie Ge, with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Yes, please give your Majesty an order."

"Okay, Ling Aiqing is worthy of being a loyal minister and general of the Qin Dynasty!"

Once again confirmed by him, the emperor stood up happily. Now he doesn't want to make troubles. He just wants to send away the Wei family who has been crushing him for almost five years. I don't worry at all, the emperor of Daqin is like this, he is afraid of the Wei family and can't do without their protection.
