Chapter 8 Sending troops to the north
Qingguo is still immersed in the happy event of the marriage of the two princesses, and the emperor has decided to ask Gong Zhu to marry after the end of the sacrifice ceremony. Looking at the book w?w?w・1?ka?n?shu is busy with the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, and the wedding of the two princesses, the Shangli Bureau in charge of these things is really busy. Only the emperor of Qingguo was alone, and he was panicked in his heart. The emperor was holding the letter of state that had just been sent by the Northern Qi Kingdom, and he didn't know what to do.
On the side of the Northern Qi Kingdom, although some people heard the news of the emperor's upcoming wedding, the government did not make a clear announcement. Even the hundreds of officials in the court did not receive any news. When Bai closed the door and went to the court suspiciously, he only saw the emperor they hadn't seen for a long time above the court.
In the past, the emperor did not go to court, unless he encountered something serious. Even if he encountered something big, the emperor just nodded and shook his head, and never said anything. In the past, when the court was supposed to be up, the three auxiliary ministers took everyone to discuss the matter, and after the deliberations were over, they were presented to the Queen Mother for sealing.
Could it be that the Queen Mother is going to court today?
Some ministers are beating drums in their hearts like this, and there have been cases like this before. When the emperor first ascended the throne, the queen mother came out to the court, and the emperor would come early to sit on the lower seat and wait.
But today, the emperor is the main throne.
When the ministers who came saw the emperor sitting on it, they were puzzled, but they still saluted and stood where they should stand. When the last auxiliary minister came slowly, the door to the court was closed. A look at the book?? w?ww?・1?k?an?sh?u?
The inside of the main hall became as dim as Zhengyang Palace. The emperor who was sitting on it still lowered his head and did not speak. One of the older auxiliary ministers was pushed out,
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the emperor has to come to this court to order today. Just say it. ”
The ministers are all old, and they have all done a lot of bad things, and the room suddenly became so dim, and the emperor who I had heard about before seemed to have some quirks, and they were very uneasy.
Northern Qi sat on the throne, and with his head down, the ministers couldn't see the emperor's face at all. The flower face stood beside Beiqi. It's a real sight.
He could see very clearly that Beiqi was laughing.
The corners of Bei Qi's mouth were upturned, because he saw through the panicked hearts of those people below. Although he looked down on those people below, there was no way for the fairy.
Beiqi raised his face. Sit up straight and look at the people below.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all okay?"
The ministers thought it was amazing, and many of them had never heard the emperor speak. Didn't think about it. The emperor's voice was so refreshing, completely different from such a strange atmosphere, and even seemed a little out of place. Want? See?? Book w?w?w?・1 book k?a?nshu
"Your Majesty, the ministers are okay, but the emperor's body is fine."
"Haha, I'm so good, you don't have to remember it."
Beiqi laughed heartily twice, and the originally dull hall became so active. Some ministers had the audacity to look up at the emperor's face, and a smile was smiling on their clean and tidy faces. It's not as feminine as a woman, and it's different from the pleasure of ordinary men. It's an expression that only appears on a teenager's face. Only now did they know that their emperor was such an energetic young man.
"But I'm not here to see you today just to greet your body."
One by one, the courtiers were still immersed in the youthful words of Northern Qi just now, and immediately this sentence of Northern Qi tore the skin of the sun. The room is still so dim, and the emperor is still so cold. The courtiers didn't dare to speak anymore, and they all lowered their heads and played Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
"I came today to tell you good news. I wonder if you've heard of it? Today, the north is frequently harassed by barbarians on the grasslands, border cities have been robbed, the people have been bullied, families cannot return, and some women dare not marry. ”
The ministers looked at each other. I don't know how to answer. Or another assistant came out,
"Your Majesty, the old ministers have heard about this matter, and about half a year ago, these barbarians on the grassland began to harass the people of our border city. The barbarians of the steppes were skilled in horseback riding and bowing and arrows. We ordinary soldiers can't stop them at all. However, after this period of investigation, we have also figured out what happened. It is said that the current leaders of those barbarians themselves thought that they were not right-minded, and after killing their predecessors and family members, they became leaders themselves. Now this person's greed is even more insane. He actually wants to fight the idea of our Northern Qi Kingdom, and wants to be the emperor himself! ”
The expression on Bei Qi's face became very subtle, and he didn't know what to say about his old ministers. Obviously, the matter is so clear, but none of it is done well.
"That's good. Then I went on to ask, for such a barbarian child, despise the imperial power and harm the people. Can you come up with a way to fix them? ”
"This ......"
The one who spoke was choked and couldn't speak. Indeed, as I said just now, the people on the grassland are fierce, and although their army is much smaller than that of the Northern Qi army, the soldiers of the Northern Qi are far inferior to those barbarians on the grassland. And they have recently received definite news that the leader is menacing this time, and he is fully prepared. The armies that attacked the border cities were only a small part, and there were many more capable armies that did not appear.
"Hmph."
Bei Qi suddenly snorted loudly and slapped the armrest of the royal chair hard.
"The emperor is angry."
One by one, the courtiers knelt down to apologize, and everyone kept staring at each other, not knowing what to do. All the eyes were finally projected on the three assistants. These three people are also passing the buck to each other, and none of them are willing to be the first bird. Because it is true that everyone has been discussing this matter for a long time but there is still no answer.
Bei Qi looked at the people below angrily, and after a while, a smile changed to a smile on his face. The smile floating on the corner of his mouth unconsciously sounded, and the laughter became louder and louder. It can be heard by the flower face, as big as the three auxiliary adults in the front row, and as big as all the courtiers. Beiqi laughed so rampantly, even holding his stomach, as if he was about to lose his breath from laughing.
After a long period of time, the ministers thought that the emperor had been depressed for too long and had gone crazy, and Beiqi finally stopped smiling. Beiqi wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and tidied up his clothes again.
"Look at the scared looks of all of you, rest assured, I won't blame you. I know that not all problems can be solved by you. ”
The courtiers still didn't squeak, and they knelt on the ground in Beiqi, their hearts full of pity. He shook his head,
"I often don't go to court, and I only ask about political affairs. You're taking care of this country, I know. So, this time I'm going to help you solve this problem, and you say, isn't that good news? ”
Bei Qi smiled so cheerfully, it can even be said to be a little exaggerated.
"I have decided to send the elite soldiers I have been secretly training to the north to destroy the people of the grasslands."
The entire hall reverberated with the voice of Northern Qi, as if it came from outside the sky. The courtiers all thought that their emperor was crazy, and contrary to them was the confident smile and expectant eyes of Northern Qi. (To be continued.) )
