Chapter 42: The Emperor's Thoughts

The queen's words are very level, as much as possible to reduce the responsibility of Xiao Dugu Jin, and say that he has to mobilize the army privately, as long as His Majesty relaxes, Jin'er will be fine here.

Even if Her Majesty had an idea in her heart afterwards, she asked Jin'er to find the fathers of the officials of the young masters and ladies who were rescued to come forward to thank her, and said that it was the emperor's grace to transfer troops to save people.

The emperor took the lid of the cup and gently frosted the rim of the cup, squinted slightly at the queen who was kneeling on the ground, did not immediately go to help her, and mobilized the army privately, committing his taboo, this time he mobilized five hundred, next time, is it going to transfer troops to rebel?

The power of the Dugu family is getting bigger and bigger, in the future his son will ascend the throne as the emperor, there is such a powerful mother family, maybe not a good thing, the dictatorship of relatives is not uncommon in history, relatives are the power he uses to balance always, if the tail is not big, what he leaves his son is a disaster, relatives don't care about good or bad, if you use it well, you can assist the emperor to govern the world, and if you don't use it well, it is chaotic.

It seems that the power of the queen's family is to be reduced, and finding a strong concubine for the crown prince and supporting the new descendant is the best balance.

In an instant, the emperor's heart had turned countless thoughts, and he stretched out his hand to help the queen up, "Empress, you and I have been married for many years, there is no need to be like this, as for Dugu Jin's unauthorized transfer of troops, I also have to punish him, otherwise others will follow his example in the future and treat me as the emperor?" It is also good for young people to give him advice and lessons, so that he can have a longer memory. ”

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is that you should teach that child a hard lesson." The queen had a look of deep hatred on her face, and her heart chuckled, it seemed that Her Majesty had an idea in her heart.

"Let people beat him for thirty boards, lest the queen feel distressed if he fights too much." The Emperor laughed.

"Your Majesty, how dare the concubine complain, you help the concubine educate your nephew, it's too late for the concubine to be grateful." The empress leaned on the emperor's shoulder and said softly.

The Emperor patted her on the shoulder, not knowing what to think.

Outside, Zhou Jianxiong knew that the emperor would have dinner in the next court, so he waited for a while before coming to see him, and he also came to confess, but he was intercepted by Dugu Jin outside.

"General Zhou, I have taken all the blame for the transfer of the army, and General Zhou should not take responsibility for himself."

"Why?" Zhou Jianxiong frowned. If Dugu Jin takes all the blame, then he just changes his excuse, and the emperor won't say anything, it's just why Dugu Jin did it.

"You just owe me somebody." Dugu Jin smiled self-deprecatingly.

At this time, the eunuch came out and said to Dugu Jin: "Lord Dugu, because of your mistake, Your Majesty ordered the guards to hit thirty boards as punishment. ”

"Weichen obeys the order, thank you for Your Majesty Longen." was beaten, and I have to be thankful obediently, but this is already the best result.

Dugu Jin obediently followed the eunuch to receive the punishment, but he knew that he was the queen's own nephew, and the guards would not be ruthless, but he looked bloody on the outside, but in fact, it was not a big deal, just lie down for a while.

Zhou Jianxiong was about to ask the eunuch to pass the courtesy, but the queen walked out of it and bowed and saluted, "I have seen the queen's mother"

"Well, General Zhou, Your Majesty is inside, go ahead." For Zhou Jianxiong's identity, the queen is naturally polite, and her son still points to generals like Zhou Jianxiong to guard the country.

The queen over there was distressed and arranged for someone to carry Dugu Jin out of the palace and arranged for the imperial doctor to follow.

Zhou Jianxiong entered the main hall, and the emperor was watching the recital, kneeling on the ground and saluting, "See Your Majesty"

"Get up, come on, take a seat," the emperor waved his hand, "Jianxiong, it's been a few days since you came back, how is it, how is the inspection?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the situation is not too good, the combat effectiveness of the army stationed near the capital is not strong, the soldiers are lazy, and the generals will only fight for power and promotion, such an army, if there is a big battle, there is no resistance." Zhou Jianxiong told the truth.

"Alas, I also know this situation, although the country has only been founded for more than 50 years, but people have forgotten the difficult life during the war, the eunuchs only know extravagance and enjoyment, corruption and bribery, and now they have begun to corrode the army, although I have worked hard over the years, but the life of the people at the bottom is not too good, can not withstand any toss, the army is the fist of the country, and there is no room for any difference, Jianxiong, I called you back, and I also hope that you will change this situation, I am old, and I want to give the prince a stable mountain, and not a mess full of holes. The emperor frowned, while he was still alive, he could still suppress some of the people below, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

"The last general will do his best to live up to His Majesty's expectations." Zhou Jianxiong got up.

"What are you doing here?" The emperor asked casually.

"Your Majesty, the last general is here to ask for sin, when General Dugu came to move the rescue troops yesterday, the last general happened to be in the barracks, and he didn't stop General Dugu from asking for help." Zhou Jianxiong knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Oh? Zhou Jianxiong, aren't you such a good talker? "The emperor wondered, if he went to a random person, he would be able to transfer into the team in front of Zhou Jianxiong, he definitely didn't believe it, even if the prince went, he couldn't do it, let alone Dugu Jin, which really surprised him.

"Because the last general's daughter was also washed away by the heavy snow, the last general was in a hurry, so he led the soldiers with General Dugu to save people, please atone for your sins."

The emperor was silent, walked up to Zhou Jianxiong, and looked at Zhou Jianxiong who was kneeling on the ground, "You are talking about the daughter of your wife." ”

"Yes, it is my most beloved daughter and my only spiritual support, as long as she is good, it doesn't matter what I do." Zhou Jianxiong said from the bottom of his heart.

"You are still so dedicated, it hasn't changed at all over the years, it's just that, for the sake of your love for your daughter, forget about it." The emperor patted Zhou Jianxiong on the shoulder, what he valued was Zhou Jianxiong's dedication, such a person would not easily rebel.

"Your Majesty," Zhou Jianxiong got up.

"Your daughter isn't young, isn't she?" The emperor asked casually.

"Well, it's exactly sixteen today."

"It's time to get married, Jianxiong, this is your baby daughter, don't be too casual about this marriage." The Emperor said meaningfully.

Zhou Jianxiong's brows furrowed slightly, what does Your Majesty mean by this, could it be that His Majesty wants to interfere in his daughter's marriage.

"Alright, you can step aside." The emperor sat back and waved his hand.

Zhou Jianxiong came out of the palace full of concerns, and he had been wondering what the emperor's words meant, if His Majesty wanted to intervene, the marriage arranged for his daughter was definitely not an ordinary family, even a prince, and now his identity is here, with so much military power in his hands, it is impossible for the emperor to push him to someone other than the next emperor, do you want his daughter to marry the prince? But the crown prince already has a crown princess.

Zhou Jianxiong was very bored in his heart, as soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, it was a place to eat people, how could he be willing to let his daughter marry into the palace, face the days of intrigue all day long, and grab a man with so many women, but where is Your Majesty? Alas...
