Hey!How dare you take me as a substitute

In the court hall the next day, Empress Dowager An really mentioned this matter.

After all, when it comes to the loss of the country, the matter is of great importance. Even if you know that the disaster is caused by that useless thing in your family, you still have to speak out. At least take back the border town first, and then talk about other things.

Old General Feng took the initiative to ask for orders, expressing his willingness to lead troops to the northern border, to reinforce the army trapped in the snow-capped mountains, and to regain the lost border town.

Feng Qi also asked to send troops.

The two came out one after the other, and they didn't scold the young master named An who failed to accomplish anything, and didn't directly mention the peril of the people in the frontier, let alone the ruin of the country's prestige, but directly mentioned: In the past two months Come to recuperate at home, quietly study and observe the mysterious works, and occasionally have some puzzles, then go to a higher school to do the math, and know that the luck of this year is all at the beginning of the new year. If the beginning of the year was rough, this year will be rough.

In layman's terms, labor and management have done their fortune-telling. The national fortune for the whole year depends on the beginning of the year. If the beginning of the year is good, the whole year will be good.

These remarks were written by Heng Mingshi last night and asked Old General Feng to recite them. It would be better to have a few tears attached to them. Wipe them with his sleeves, and the display effect will definitely be better.

It's a pity that neither General Feng nor Feng Qi could squeeze out tears, so they could only give up.

Fortunately, the final rendering effect is still good.

At least, Empress Dowager An really started to think about whether to let the old General Feng lead the army to the northern border for reinforcements.

Heng Mingshi knows Empress Dowager An too well. At this time, if Old General Feng said, "This is because of the incompetence of the An family, who has harmed the people in the border city", then Empress Dowager An will definitely think that Old General Feng is alluding to her. If you are not good at generals and employ people improperly, you will definitely feel unhappy in your heart.

In the same way, if Old General Feng and Empress Dowager An said that the people were in deep water and fire, or that the country's prestige was damaged as a result, Empress Dowager An would definitely feel that Old General Feng was mocking herself.

Only when the matter was involved in metaphysics, could the Empress Dowager An go down the stairs.

She can blame that it's all God's will, and it has nothing to do with her.

Anyway, I just can't lose her face, otherwise she will hold a grudge.

Old General Feng gave Empress Dowager An a step, and Empress Dowager An would consider whether to let Old General Feng lead the army for the last time.

Originally, when Heng Mingshi went to discuss with Old General Feng overnight and brought out these scripts, Old General Feng refused at first. It was not until Heng Mingshi explained the stakes to him clearly that Old General Feng sighed: " Your Majesty really has a seven-aperture exquisite heart!"

Heng Mingshi shrugged: "It's a pity that I can't escape the life of this string puppet."

Turning her gaze back to the court hall, Empress Dowager An got the old general's step, and other courtiers came out to show her attitude of sending troops to reinforce and take back the border town. The 30 Imperial City Army went to northern Xinjiang to rescue the border guards trapped at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and then regained the lost border town in one fell swoop.

However, Empress Dowager An only agreed to Old General Feng, but did not agree to Feng Qi, Feng Qi still had to stay in the imperial city.

Heng Mingshi sat on the throne, looking at Feng Qi who bowed his head and retreated silently.

Speaking of it, Feng Qi has stepped down from the position of general for more than three years. The position of "imperial bodyguard" sounds nice, but in fact, he doesn't even have real power. The soldiers were all dispatched by Empress Dowager An, and they also listened to the orders of Empress Dowager An. Just like in the previous assassination incident, those personal soldiers looked very mighty around Heng Mingshi. In fact, what happened to them? , run faster than anyone else.

The Eagle Guards raised by Heng Mingshi only obeyed Heng Mingshi's orders, and they had a working relationship with Feng Qi at most.

Before Feng Qi, at any rate, he relied on beheading the heads of thieves and bandits, and accumulated military exploits. At a young age, he relied on military exploits to sit on the position of general. Confined in the palace, serving as a bodyguard with little real power for a fool emperor.

Feng Qi must have had some expectations for this challenge, right?

I look forward to being able to sit on the horse again, pick up the spear, go into battle to kill the enemy, repel the thieves, and regain the lost border town.

It's a pity that things backfired. Empress Dowager An was determined not to let him have the slightest chance of gaining military power.

----

The 30 troops quickly assembled and set off two days later.

Time is running out, very urgent.

What is even more worrying is that half of the 30 troops are troops stationed in the imperial city for a long time. They have never actually been on the battlefield, and they have never seen the bloody ferocity of the battlefield, let alone the ferocity of the Khanate army.

That is to say, what can actually be used is the 15 Feng Family Army brought back by Old General Feng two months ago.

The Feng family army was brave and good at fighting. When the old general Feng came back, he left nearly 50 people stationed in the frontier. Now that the border city is broken, I don't know what happened to the Feng family army stationed in the border city.

I also know that it is more unfortunate than fortunate.

Heng Mingshi stood at the gate of the imperial city, routinely seeing off the departing army.

It is not the first time that Heng Mingshi has practiced for the army. After all, as a golden mascot, he is always there.

Watching the army go away, the horse's hooves kicked up the billowing smoke, Heng Mingshi raised his hand and pressed his heart.

There, the heart was boiling like a drum.

When will he be able to sit on the horse, wave his long whip, and leave the imperial city, which is like a prison to him, amidst the billowing dust and smoke?

The city gate was just under his feet, and the distance he left this bustling cage was actually just a wall away.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao screamed in horror, and the ministers who came with the emperor to practice for the army turned around, and saw that the foolish emperor in the golden dragon robe was actually taking advantage of no one's attention. Time to climb the walls!

At this very moment, the golden figure was standing on the city wall, and the city was several feet high under one foot.

The long wind blew up with a whirring sound, and the crown was knocked in the wind, making a burst of noise, and the golden robe flew wildly, as if it could take him down the high city in the next moment, and he would be smashed to pieces.

But at this moment, Heng Mingshi's gaze was still looking into the distance, as if he was unaware of his dangerous situation, and even took a step forward!

"Emperor..." Eunuch Gao was too frightened to shout out, for fear that the sound would disturb the people in front of him and cause the Holy One to fall down the high wall.

The other ministers also held their voices and held their breath, some were really worried that the Holy Majesty would fall, some watched the show in silence, and some were startled by the scene in front of them, unable to recover for a while.

Has this idiot emperor grown up?

Back then, the little emperor who had just ascended the throne was nothing more than a skinny carrot head.

These veterans rarely look in the direction of the foolish emperor when they go to court, but now looking at the golden dragon robe blown up by the wind and the figure outlined by the golden dragon robe, they can vaguely see the tall and straight man. radians.

The eight words "thin and petite, unsuitable for use" were blown to nothing under this golden back, under this fierce gust of wind.

At this moment, what remained in the eyes and hearts of all the ministers was a brand new image.

Born plump and handsome, tall and straight, this appearance inevitably made some ministers who had assisted the late emperor feel in a daze for a moment.

When the first emperor was young, he was also an extraordinary handsome man!

Is this the power of the bloodline?

The trance was only for a moment, and soon someone reacted and shouted, "Escort! Escort!"

At the same time, a black shadow suddenly flashed past, brought a gust of wind, and came to the city wall where the golden figure was standing. He raised his hand and grabbed the person who seemed to be about to step out of the city wall in the next moment. middle!

The golden figure was embraced by the black figure, and returned to the wall. After a false alarm, everyone could see clearly that the one who saved the Holy One was the second young master of the Feng family, the former little general Feng Qi.

"Your Majesty, it's windy on the wall, be careful of the dragon's body." After Feng Qi carried him down, he put Heng Mingshi on the ground, and saluted with his hands clasped.

However, Heng Mingshi didn't seem to realize how dangerous his actions were just now, and said: "Dear friends, I just now heard a lot of voices and saw far, far away."

All the ministers looked at each other, but most of them didn't take Heng Mingshi's words seriously.

The wind is so strong that you have to speak louder to hear it. How can there be many other sounds besides the wind?

As for seeing far, isn't that because they are standing tall now?

But at this moment, Heng Mingshi suddenly covered his head with his hands, groaned in pain, and then fell into Feng Qi's arms!

Feng Qi quickly hugged him firmly, and stretched out his hand to Heng Mingshi's nose, but felt his finger was bitten lightly.

Feng Qi: "..." Very good, it's just an act.

Since Heng Mingshi chose the angle of "fainting", everyone didn't see Feng Qi's finger that was originally trying to detect Heng Mingshi's breath was lightly bitten. It was true that Heng Mingshi fainted at that time, and quickly summoned the imperial physician.

Fang's imperial physician cheated, and Heng Mingshi had a "serious illness" as a matter of course.

At the same time, some public rumors gradually spread in the imperial city, saying that after being practiced by the army, the emperor suddenly climbed onto the city wall as if he was being haunted by something, standing just one step away from From the place where he fell, he watched from a distance, and after being rescued by General Feng, he said some strange words, and then fell into a coma and fell seriously ill.

Some people think this is an ominous omen, while others think that the emperor has received the guidance and heard the voice of heaven.

In short, no matter what was said inside or outside the palace, Heng Mingshi made up his mind to pretend to be sick.

With Imperial Physician Jiang and Imperial Physician Fang present, Heng Mingshi was not worried that his "illness" would be discovered,

Heng Mingshi's pretending to be sick this time was not a temporary idea, but a premeditated one.

Empress Dowager An seems to have noticed something recently, and there are more and more temptations to him. Rao Heng Mingshi is very confident in his acting skills, and he is a little bit too much.

In this case, it is better to pretend to be sick.
