Hey!How dare you take me as a substitute

Heng Mingshi pretended to be sick, so he disappeared naturally in the morning, but in fact it was the same if he was there or not in the early morning, anyway, it was not his turn to speak and make decisions.

And the thing that was discussed in the early court recently is naturally the current war in northern Xinjiang.

The severity of the battle this time obviously exceeded Queen Mother An's expectations. Those Khan troops who went south were extremely fierce this time, and they broke through three cities all the way!

A battle report spread to the palace, making Empress Dowager An, who didn't care much about the battle, start to get nervous.

After all, no one wants to be that eternal sinner who lost his country.

However, things did not develop in the expected direction.

The defeat in the border town was like losing the fate of the Yuan country.The Khan army was victorious, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, but the Yuan army was retreating steadily.

It has been a month since General Feng led his army to reinforce northern Xinjiang, but the good news still hasn't come. On the contrary, the Khan army has already broken through five cities all the way. The footsteps of the Khan army will go a little further towards the imperial city of Yuanguo.

Feng Qi couldn't hold it back, once again in the court hall, begging for a bloody battle with the sweat bandits.

Empress Dowager An refused.

Facts have proved that Heng Mingshi's guess is correct. Empress Dowager An has determined that Feng Qi's loyal object is Heng Mingshi, so she refuses to let Feng Qi get the military power again.

Previously, Old General Feng was allowed to lead the army again, firstly because the situation was really critical, and secondly because... Old General Feng was really old.

The perennial garrison at the frontier, after all, wasted his years, and the old general Feng, who was only in his early years, had pale hair and wrinkles all over his cheeks.

Let a sixty-year-old general take on the heavy responsibility at this time, why didn't Queen Mother An think about letting the old general Feng shine for the last time?

After another half a month, the military report came from Yucheng asking for reinforcements, and Feng Qi once again asked for orders to fight.

Empress Dowager An still refused.

In fact, reinforcements are necessary, the key is who can take on the important task of leading the troops. The Empress Dowager An has naturally taken a fancy to some people, but those people usually slander and flatter them, but in times of crisis like this, they shirk away , I didn't dare to take the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight.

Finally, one of them stood up, but he still wanted to cede the land and pay compensation.

Empress Dowager An was so angry that she almost didn't step forward in person, and scratched that coward into a big face!

On this point, it is rare for Heng Mingshi to stand on the same line as Queen Mother An.

Everyone is calling, asking for peace?joke!

Let alone whether people will agree or not, it depends on the dignity of the family and the country. Such cowardice and cowardice will definitely be despised by the Khanate!

Empress Dowager An regards power as her destiny, and she has been pursuing to be the leader of ten thousand people in a prosperous country all her life. It is good that she did not recruit strong men to recruit troops to expand abroad. How could she let others come to her door, and five cities were taken away?

Summoning at such a time?

Even more impossible!

Her pride won't allow it!

Empress Dowager An didn't put down her figure and rushed forward to scratch the minister who made such a bad suggestion, but frowned and shook her sleeves: "Teacher Liu is probably tired, so you should pay attention to rest in the future, so as not to lose your mind and talk nonsense."

Taifu Liu's head was full of cold sweat, "It's my minister who made a slip of the tongue, I beg the empress dowager to forgive me!"

Empress Dowager An slapped the armrest heavily, and said coldly: "How can I let those rough thieves take away every inch of my big wall! What the ancestors left behind must be protected intact! Don't give up even an inch! Otherwise! , Aren’t you going to make the world laugh? Don’t you want to make those barbarians laugh? If you go to hell in the future, what face will you have to face your ancestors?”

Empress Dowager An looked at Taifu Liu angrily: "Three-year-old children already know food protection, but you don't even know such a simple truth!"

Mrs. Liu's face turned red and pale after being scolded, as if she was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and go down.

Heng Mingshi's "sick leave" is over, but he still pretends to be very listless and sits on the dragon chair, his eyes fall on Mrs. Liu, and he vaguely remembers that he ran back crying after entering the barracks for less than half an hour His young master seems to be the concubine of Taifu Liu.

Because his concubine became a deserter, this grand master was laughed at for a long time in the imperial city.

Empress Dowager An made a fuss, and no one dared to ask for peace, but when it came to asking for a war, only Feng Qi dared to come out, and everyone else looked down at the ground, pretending that they didn't exist.

Empress Dowager An didn't want Feng Qi to lead the army, but the minister she was optimistic about didn't dare to take this life-threatening risk, so she got very angry, angrily reprimanded "incompetent and mediocre", then turned around and left, not even caring about retreating.

Heng Mingshi suddenly obtained an early court without the presence of Queen Mother An, and the other ministers were also shocked by Queen Mother An's anger. Until Queen Mother An left, the ministers did not dare to speak or move.

Heng Mingshi's gaze swept across the hall, and finally fell on the old prime minister.

"Cheng Cheng~ Do you know why the queen mother is angry?" Heng Mingshi patted his chest pretending to be scared, as if he had just been frightened by the angry Queen Mother An.

Unsurprisingly, he got a look of disdain with his actions.

The old prime minister, Shu Qingyun, came out of the line, clasped his hands and responded: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother is worried about the frontier war, but right now there is no suitable person to lead the reinforcements, so she is really worried and anxious."

Heng Mingshi held his face in both hands: "But, didn't Feng Fengzi just say that he wanted to go?"

Hearing this, Feng Qi, who had already bowed his head back to his position, suddenly raised his head and looked in Heng Mingshi's direction, his eyes sparkling brightly.

The other ministers couldn't realize who the "Feng Zi" Heng Mingshi was talking about at first, but when they realized it, they immediately covered their mouths with their sleeves, and couldn't help laughing.

A fool, calling the former general a lunatic, is there anything more ridiculous than this?

Everyone looked in Feng Qi's direction, expecting to see Feng Qi's expression of hidden anger.

Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed.

Because, not only was Feng Qi not affected by this not-so-good-sounding title, but he also showed... an expression of expectation?

and many more!

Expectation!

Could it be that this Feng Qi was expecting the Holy Majesty to let him lead troops into battle?

LOL!Even if he could really use the oracle as a shield, where would the soldiers come to bring him?Summoning an army is not something this foolish emperor can do!It seems that Feng Qi is also in a daze, to have such unrealistic expectations!

Shu Qingyun did not express his emotions so clearly like those ministers. In other words, he always looked like an old god, and never expressed contempt or flattery to Heng Mingshi, but just discussed the matter. What Heng Mingshi asked , He just answered, with a calm and calm attitude: "Back to the emperor, I dare not speculate on the meaning of the empress dowager. The empress dowager does not allow Xiaofeng to general, and the empress dowager has her own reasons."

It's a very watery answer, no one can offend.

Heng Mingshi pretended to be ignorant and blinked: "Why? Is Feng Fengzi not good enough? Is the person the queen wants to find better than Feng Fengzi?"

Heng Mingshi said while looking at one of the ministers: "Are you better than Feng Fengzi?"

That civil servant: "..."

That civil official: "Your Majesty, the so-called martial art has a specialization. In terms of martial arts attainments, my humble official is really not as good as Feng Xiaojun."

So Heng Mingshi looked at one of the generals, who was actually a general of the Empress Dowager An's faction, Heng Mingshi said: "What about you? Are you better than Feng Fengzi?"

Without waiting for that person to speak, Heng Mingshi said again: "I haven't been able to catch crickets for the past few days, and I want to see them fight, but I can't. It's just right, you can compete."

The general who was compared to an amused bug: "..."

The general refused to answer, Heng Mingshi didn't care, leaned his body, and lay back on the dragon chair, without any demeanor at all, he said: "All loves, do you think I am better than Feng Fengzi?" ?”

All the ministers: "..."

Does this question still need to be asked?Isn't this obvious?

However, when I want to return to my thoughts, I can't speak directly, or even tell the truth.

Although everyone thought in their hearts: Can you, a fool who doesn't understand anything, compare with other people's brave generals?

But he still complimented Heng Mingshi: "Of course the Holy One is even more powerful!"

After complimenting Heng Mingshi, some courtiers who were at odds with Feng Qi even cast a mocking look at Feng Qi, as if saying: Haha!It's been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. You used to be so majestic, but now you are not compared with a fool?

However, as soon as their mocking eyes were thrown away, Feng Qi knelt down on one knee to salute, and said loudly: "The emperor is talented, versatile in both civil and military affairs, knows people well, is lenient and strict, and is witty and brave... The humble minister is no better than you!" He is a reckless man, what virtue and ability, how dare he compare with the Holy One? If it is really necessary to be compared, then the Holy One is the sun in the sky, so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it, and the humble minister is the man in the ditch Rotten stone, day after day I look forward to the day when I will be blessed by the scorching sun above my head!"

Everyone: "???" In terms of slander and flattery, their eloquence actually lost to a general? ? ?And this general's surname is Feng! ! !

Even the always calm Shu Qingyun raised her wrinkled eyelids and took a look at Feng Qi.

The corner of Heng Mingshi's mouth twitched invisibly, he endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back, and said: "Feng Fengzi really looks like a rock." Big and Y.

I don't know if the four words hidden in my heart were interpreted by Feng Qi, but Feng Qi's ears turned red uncontrollably.

Heng Mingshi: "Then, dear friends, do you think there is anyone here who is more powerful than me?"

With Feng Qi proofing, even if most people don't take Heng Mingshi seriously in their hearts, they still have to compliment him on the surface, so as not to be accused of committing the following crimes and be referred to a book, which will be troublesome .

Isn't it just to compare who can speak nice words?They are very familiar with this!

However, just after they racked their brains and competed with each other to compliment Heng Mingshi, they heard the idiot emperor sitting on the dragon chair laughing and saying: "In this case, I will lead the army to go out in person to share the mother's worries." Bar!"
