Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

New Khan, Marriage Proposal, Gu Chiyuan?

What do you mean?

This is to let Gu Chiyuan, the emperor's own son, go to the grassland tribe to get married?

Shen Rongci felt that his heart had received a very strong shock, and after the shock, he felt a deep sense of crisis.

Although the officials looked dignified, they didn't show much resistance, which showed that they didn't directly reject Khan's marriage proposal, and even thought it was feasible.

Thinking about it, the new Khan is young and strong, and he put a lot of pressure on the court just after he succeeded to the throne.But if an unfavored prince is exchanged for decades of peace without bloodshed, this condition is naturally very exciting.

As for the meaning of the emperor, there is no need to think about it.A father who can sacrifice his son's health for his own longevity can give up him again for a country.

The prince knew this even more, so he intentionally angered Gu Chiyuan on the important occasion of handing over the military talisman, making him completely disappointed the emperor at this juncture, and maybe he would agree to Khan's marriage in a fit of anger proposal.

No wonder...

No wonder the prince was not angry when he learned that he was approaching in a false way.Because he expected that after today, Gu Chiyuan would never hinder him again.

The prince is so ruthless, he must be determined to win today.

Shen Rongci looked at Gu Chiyuan, but found that the other party was also looking at him.

Gu Chiyuan just stood in the middle of the hall indifferently, and the comments and gazes of the ministers around him didn't seem to affect him at all. He just looked at Shen Rongci quietly like that, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance into his own body. heart.

——Gu Chiyuan was saying goodbye to him.

As soon as this thought flashed through Shen Rongci's mind, his body had already reacted first.

The emperor looked at Shen Rongci who stepped forward to salute, and asked, "What do you want to say, Major General?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the general thinks that if he really agrees to the marriage, he will really lose all face of me."

Chen Yushi said bluntly: "Young General Shen is so opposed to the marriage, is it because he is afraid that after the truce, the imperial court will not have enough troops, and the overwhelming power of the Shen clan will be handed over to others?"

This Chen Yushi is backed by the crown prince's mother's family, and he is also an official who advocates honest words and harsh words. He has never had any scruples in the court, even if Chong Ninggong is present, he is right, and he is not polite when speaking to Shen Rongci. .

"Doctor Yushi's words are wrong. If it is really possible to ensure the peace of the Holy Majesty's country for thousands of years, the soldiers will no longer have to live a life of licking blood, and the soldiers can also be reunited with their families. Willingly."

The military officer is not good at words, and he has never been able to speak eloquently, so he has suffered a lot in the court.But Chen Yushi didn't expect that General Shen was so eloquent, and he couldn't find any words to refute for a while.

Shen Rongci continued: "If Khan wants a princess, that's fine. There are so many princesses of the right age in my dynasty, but he chooses Prince Shu. Isn't it intentional to humiliate him? Prince Shu has to lie under the leadership of the grassland tribes to ensure the peace of the country, won't people laugh at the court for its cowardice and incompetence?"

"Presumptuous! Major General, don't talk nonsense!" Dr. Chen Yushi blew his beard angrily, "The grassland tribes have already said that if they don't agree to the marriage, they will invade the frontier territory. If it is not for the sake of the people's livelihood, the Holy Majesty will How could you be willing to watch Prince Shu go out of the fortress? It is a last resort to agree to get married, but you are a martial artist, Major General, and you still think things are too simple."

Shen Rongci looked around and suddenly laughed.

The prince looked at him, frowned unconsciously, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

Chen Yushi asked: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you sour masters who only know what's going on all day long, and you don't know how to adapt."

The major general in battle armor was tall and straight, with a wicked smile on his face, and his fox eyes stared at Gu Chiyuan who was at the side, showing a look of disdain.

"Although Prince Shu's temperament is dull and boring, this appearance is so upright that even the new Khan who is far away in the grassland is overwhelmed by him. As long as Prince Shu is called by name... Heh, I have only heard of beauty in ancient times, but I didn't expect this man to be able to It caused disaster. It is really a pity that the prince is just a barren man in this life."

Chen Yushi was really speechless this time.Where does this major general help?

"Major General, what exactly are you going to say?" the emperor asked.

Shen Rongci knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Please ask your majesty to give you a marriage for the last general."

Chen Yushi: "I'm afraid the major general is drunk, we are discussing marriage, don't talk about changing the subject!"

Shen Rongci was not in a hurry: "Doctor Yushi, don't forget, today is the handover of the military talisman, and the discussion of the marriage was only halfway through. This time the Nancheng bandits were suppressed, the Holy One had already promised to reward the last general, and the last general was just begging What's wrong with receiving grace?"

Chen Yushi wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Alright. Let me tell you, Major General, which girl do you like?"

Shen Rongci nodded, raised his firm jaw line, opened his thin lips lightly, and uttered three words one by one:

"Excuse me, Prince."

In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.All the officials were talking in a hurry, and they were arguing with each other, but no one could understand what they said.

The prince looked at him incredulously, there was hatred in his eyes that the plan was disrupted, and more of an inexplicable sadness, as if he had been betrayed.

But he clearly knew that Shen Rongci had no intention of assisting him.

Shen Rongci looked back at Gu Chiyuan.

Amidst the din of people, Gu Chiyuan raised his eyes and looked at him with burning eyes.

Shen Rongci's face was calm and unmoved, but his heart started beating wildly, and he quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Gu Chiyuan again.

The emperor had a headache from the noise of the officials, so he shouted impatiently, "Silence!"

The officials had no choice but to shut up.But they looked at Shen Rongci, as if they had thousands of words to drown him alive.

"Major General, tell me, why do you want to marry Prince Shu?" The emperor's voice could not be heard, but the majesty remained the same, which made people's hearts beat.

Shen Rongci didn't change his face, and said: "As long as the prince has a marriage contract, it's not considered a refusal to marry, and Khan can't invade the frontier because of this, can't he?"

"That being said." The emperor looked at him condescendingly, his tone suddenly severe, "Then why do you have to marry Shen Rongci instead of choosing another daughter from the official family for Prince Shu? How did I know that you, Shen Rong Is the resignation really for the sake of the country, not to satisfy your own selfish desires?"

The emperor was intimidated, and all the officials knelt down in fright, and kept silent like a cicada.

Shen Rongci still knelt there neither humble nor overbearing, but his palms were already covered with sweat.

It would be a lie to say that he has no selfishness.In this case, he wants to protect Gu Chiyuan, but there are other better ways.

He admitted that he was outraged when he heard that the Khan had asked for the prince's marriage.

Because of this, he was even more sure of one point - he didn't want Gu Chiyuan to be snatched away by others.

Asking to marry the prince in front of the emperor would be death no matter what.But he is the most hated person in this world, the rebellious minister and thief of this court.He wanted to save Gu Chiyuan, but also to make Gu Chiyuan continue to hate him.

So, what's wrong with him, a rebellious minister who fears the world will not be chaotic, who has evil intentions against Prince Shu?

"The Holy Majesty may not know that the people of the grassland tribes are tough. If the man the superior is looking for has a wife and children, he can also take it by force. If it is for Prince Shu to betrothed to his daughter's family, I am afraid that he has not been married for a long time. Princess Shu I will be a widow."

This matter was so shocking that some ministers directly exclaimed: "Is that true?"

"of course."

He was lying.

But those present were all civil servants who had never been to the front line. Their daily battlefield was the three-acre land of the court, and they must have never left the capital in their entire lives, let alone the border.

When it comes to understanding the grassland tribes, no one present has a better say than Shen Rongci, who has been stationed at the border for nine years.

It was because of this that Shen Rongci dared to speak nonsense without shame.

Sure enough, all the officials in the hall believed in what he said, and they all showed expressions of horror. Even Chen Yushi opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

Shen Rongci strikes while the iron is hot: "So, only when Prince Shu's husband is a strong man, Khan will make a concession sincerely. In terms of age and ability, only the last general in the Manchu Dynasty has this qualification. It not only protects the prestige of the court, but also prevents the frontiers from being invaded for no reason, killing two birds with one stone."

The prince, who had been silent all this time, said, "Your general's words are wrong. If Khan doesn't get the person he likes, it's not impossible to throw his troops in a fit of anger. How can the major general conclude that this move can completely wipe out the grassland tribes?" Wolf ambition?"

He said this eagerly, and he had long since lost his usual smooth strategy.

yes.Shen Rongci had to admit that what the prince said was indeed impossible, and his proposal was not a perfect solution.

But he had to gamble.

Shen Rongci took off the jade ring around his waist, put his hands over his head, raised his head and looked straight at the emperor sitting on the throne, his eyes were determined: "If you can marry Prince Shu, you will end up guarding the border for the emperor forever. The minister will not return to the capital for a day. If I can save my face and protect the safety of my family and country, the soldiers of my Shen family will definitely stay there without complaint or regret."

The crown prince looked at him, the mask that had always been gentle finally cracked a crack, looked at him with tearful eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Shen Rongci, are you really so infatuated?"

"Prince, speak carefully."

The emperor's light words made the prince shut his mouth unwillingly, and the ministers also withdrew their madman-like gazes from Shen Rongci, and chose to remain silent.

This Young General Shen just said something rude to Prince Shu. What he said was contemptuous and contemptuous of Prince Shu's seduction of men. He turned around and acted like an infatuated person. Who would believe it?

Maybe he just took a fancy to Prince Shu's beauty, so he wanted to lock him in his backyard to do meddlesome things and humiliate him many times.

And for his own selfish desire, he still made a promise never to return to Beijing, he is really crazy.

But no matter how much the ministers despised Shen Rongci's behavior, no one would stand up and say "no".Just like when Khan proposed marriage, no one would speak for Gu Chiyuan.

Forgive the prince, it's not worth their risk to offend anyone.

They just waited quietly for the emperor to make a decision.

The emperor looked at the jade ring held in Shen Rongci's hands, and at a certain moment his thoughts seemed to drift far away.

Immediately, above the silent hall, the undeniable voice of the emperor came down.

"I agree."

With a loud sound, it hit everyone's heart heavily.

"Major General, remember your promise to me today."
