42. Chong Guan is angry and red-faced
"When I go back, I'm going to lead troops to kill this nest of bandits." After I calmed down, I solemnly said to Yan Xiaoran.
Yan Xiaoran sneered: "This kind of thing, just listen to it, you can know that it is fake at a glance." ”
I pursed my lips.
The story continues, but I'm not interested in listening to it anymore. I looked around and there were mostly young men sitting here, each holding a book in their hands and reading.
"This gentleman, what you just said is not right." A man who looked like a scholar didn't know when he came to the storyteller, and said seriously: "No matter how good a thief is, he won't give up robbery because of a song." ”
The storyteller stopped telling his story and glared at the scholar: "What's right, the poor scholar is going to stay there coolly." ”
"Xiaosheng thinks it's cool here." The scholar shook his head and said, "Sir, the deeds of the girl you just said are not right. ”
The storyteller was shocked: "Everyone, this scholar came to make trouble, obviously only jealous of Lin Xueyue's talent." ”
"Woo ......" There was a laugh in the hall, and some people threatened the scholar to get down.
"However, what he said is indeed wrong, why don't everyone question the logic?" The scholar seems to have made up his mind to let the family accept his statement, which is really a bit dull.
Yan Xiaoran said: "This kind of rigid person is very suitable for the court." He doesn't look at people's faces, he has anything to say, and if there is something, he will give direct advice, and there is no crooked bowels. ”
I nodded thoughtfully.
There are still a few days left before the imperial examination, and at this time, no minister dares to do anything on the imperial examination, after all, it is on the cusp of the storm. After the results of the imperial examination came down, I transferred the information of the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, and found that the backgrounds of these three people are very simple.
The champion Li Liang stayed in the capital to serve, and Bangyan and Tanhua were put in the place. I also paid special attention to the student's grades that day, which was not bad, and he was one point away from passing, so I kept him.
The changes in the court have obviously made some ministers realize that it is time for them to take sides, and I intend to cultivate Li Liang to become a force led by me. After the next day, I was in a good mood.
"陛xià, 陛xià, etc...... You wait. ”
Someone called me behind me, and I stopped, only to see that it was the scholar. The scholar's name is Zheng Duoyan, and I laughed at the name of this scholar with Yan Xiaoran at that time, and his words were really not ordinary.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Xiaguan...... I want to ask Your Majesty, why did you give me the official position? ”
"I'm happy."
Zheng Duoyan looked at me with a frightened expression: "Your Majesty, the woman that Xia Guan likes is not a good man." ”
Me: "......" Yan Xiaoran is right, he doesn't know what to say when he looks at people's faces, but he can still kill people. "Which eye did you see that I am a good man?"
Zheng Duoyan analyzed with me seriously: "If you don't like my beauty, with my grades, how can you stay in the court?" ”
I held my forehead: "You are really confident in your face." ”
"Since it's not, then why did His Majesty leave his ministers?"
"Because you're stupid." I didn't bother to talk to him anymore, I turned around and left, I already regretted leaving him behind.
After I went back, I briefly told Yan Xiaoran about the court, and I just said half of it. The eunuch came over and sent an urgent report from the border gate.
I'm going to open the urgency, and the description above is very simple. Probably speaking, the old emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom died, and Duan Shuyan, the great prince of the Western Xia, successfully ascended the throne as the emperor. After Duan Shuyan ascended the throne, he subdued all the courtiers of Western Xia by thunderous means, and then he actually came to give me a provocation letter.
Yan Xiaoran and I glanced at each other and opened another letter of provocation. After reading it, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly: "Yan Xiaoran, you still said that you and Duan Shuyan don't have a leg, and they both came to ask for someone with me." "Duan Shuyan made it clear in the letter that I robbed his beloved woman and asked me to return it to him, and if he didn't pay it back, he would use force.
The woman he loves is Yan Xiaoran.
Yan Xiaoran laughed angrily: "Is Duan Shuyan mentally retarded?" ”
The person at the border gate is Gu Chen's, and Gu Chen must have read this letter. With Gu Chen's temperament, he will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. I can even imagine Gu Chen's laughter when he saw this letter.
"Your Majesty, there are many ministers who ask to see."
I shrugged my shoulders and told me to guess. These ministers have just come down to the court, and they have come over again, and the eight achievements are for the border affairs.
Yan Xiaoran pinched my chin: "Shu'er, are you going to give me away?" ”
I looked at him stunned: "It depends." ”
He leaned over, bit me, and said viciously, "If you dare to agree, I will make it impossible for you to get out of bed for the rest of your life." ”
Threats can be related to that kind of thing, and only Yan Xiaoran can do it. I rubbed him: "I will protect you with all my strength." ”
Satisfied, he went behind the screen and hid.
"Let the ministers in."
Almost all the ministers who had shown their faces in front of me came, and as soon as they came, they chattered about the threat of the Western Xia Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, Xixia is harassing me on the border of Nanling...... The officials below have already written to ......"
"Your Majesty, I heard that you robbed the beloved woman of the Western Xia Emperor......"
"Your Majesty, you will return the woman to others......"
I listened to them first, and when they were all finished, there was nothing more to say, and then I said, "Do you know who the new emperor of Western Xia is, the beloved woman?" ”
The ministers suddenly stopped talking, and it seemed that they all knew.
I slammed the case: "The barbarian of Western Xia, the queen who wants to be me!" ”
A minister stepped forward: "Your Majesty, there is something that the minister doesn't know whether to talk about or not." ”
"If you don't know if you want to talk about it, don't talk about it." I gave him a blank look.
“…… The minister heard that when she was in Dayan, the queen mother had already known the current emperor of Western Xia, and if it wasn't for the fact that Niangniang came to our Nanling and kissed later, it was estimated that Niangniang would marry to Western Xia. ”
And this kind of thing? I glanced at the place where Yan Xiaoran was hiding, and snorted, "So you mean, I'm the one who robs other people's beloved women?" I'm going to give him back now? ”
"Minister......
"The queen has been married to me for a year, and now she has come to talk to me about people, this Western Xia emperor is just looking for an excuse to provoke me Nanling, he is a wolf ambition."
"It's just Majesty...... My Nanling has just experienced the palace change, if I fight with Xixia at this time, we will suffer. Another minister stood up and said: "Our Nanling troops are insufficient, if we really fight with the fierce Western Xia Kingdom, I am afraid there is no chance of victory." ”
"That's it, Your Majesty, please think twice, if we exchange the queen for the opportunity to recuperate in my Nanling, we can snatch the queen over again when the time comes." I know this minister, the one who recommended himself with his own daughter before.
Me: "......" makes too much sense. I snorted coldly: "If I can't even protect my own woman, how can I be worthy of being the emperor of this country?" Giving away his wife to others, isn't that ridiculed by the world? ”
"Your Majesty is right!" Zheng Duoyan stood up: "A manly man, if he can't even protect his family, he is not worthy of being a man!" ”
I nodded: "You see, there is no new person who knows the reason. ”
"What are you going to do?" Another minister asked cautiously.
"Fight!" I got up: "The Western Xia barbarians have bullied me Nanling to this point, do I still have to retreat from Nanling?" ”
This battle must be fought, it is related to the dignity of me, the emperor, and the face of Nanling, and there can be no concession. However, Yan Xiaoran's reputation is not very good, since this incident happened, some people say that the queen is really happy, the emperor is willing to fight and is not willing to give up the queen, and some people say that the queen is the enchantress who brought disaster to the country and the people, which made Nanling fall into war.
I said these words to Yan Xiaoran, and looked at his beautiful face: "Your face is really a disaster for the country and the people, how did you hook up with the last paragraph?" ”
Yan Xiaoran tugged at the corners of her mouth: "It was Yan Xiaoran who hooked up, not me...... If there is a real war, our chances of victory are not good. ”
I nodded, "I know that." I joked, "It's okay not to fight, I'll send you away." ”
"Hmph, are you dreaming?" Yan Xiaoran snorted and said: "Now go to the conscription, talk about the matter a little more bitterly, and tell the people that the Western Xia barbarians are coming to rob their queen and arouse the common hatred of the people, maybe there is a little chance of winning." ”
I lay on the table: "Annoying...... "I can't send Yan Xiaoran away, the war may not be victorious, am I going to be destroyed if I haven't been the emperor for a few days?" Yan Xiaoran is really a red face.
Yan Xiaoran pinched my cheek: "What's the trouble, I'm here, I'll let you lose?" ”
I jerked my head up, "You have a way to do this?" "The national strength of Western Xia is stronger than that of my Nanling, first of all, we are a big step behind in terms of troops. Although there are many battles in history in which fewer won more, I think that those generals who led troops to fight must have been burned with more incense in their previous lives, which is pure luck.
Yan Xiaoran laughed: "Fool, Lady Luck is for you." ”
With Yan Xiaoran's words, I suddenly felt at ease, he said that he would win, then he would definitely win. The next day, I posted the Emperor's List of conscripts, posted the fact that Nanling was going to fight with Western Xia, and exaggerated the matter.
When the people saw the emperor's list, they were very excited, thinking that I was a good emperor with affection and righteousness, coupled with the previous incident of Mo Qingyi's sue for the emperor, my sincere attitude towards the people has left a good impression in the hearts of the people.
This time, Emperor Nanling was angry at the crown and became red-faced, such a good name should be able to be passed down through the ages, haha.
