Chapter 129: A Small Request
"Huaibei County? Wechen doesn't have a suitable candidate in mind? Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin. "Qiu Mubai really couldn't think of a suitable candidate in his heart, so he first said the candidate from Mengbei County, not from Huaibei County.www.biquge.info After all, Huaibei County is the western gate of Jinling, and you must be cautious in selecting people, otherwise, you will take the initiative to provide the best opportunity for your political opponents to attack you.
"Don't you even have the right person in mind?" Hearing Qiu Mubai's words, Xia Qi's brows furrowed tightly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent and can't share the emperor's worries." Seeing Xia Qi's somewhat lost eyes, a strange feeling appeared in Qiu Mubai's eyes, and there was a look of sincere fear on his face.
"It's not your fault." Although he felt a trace of grief and anger in his heart, Xia Qi, who had not yet lost his mind, did not blame Qiu Mubai or others, after all, the person behind all this was himself, if he didn't let his sons seize power indiscriminately at the beginning, he would not have caused today's situation, if he didn't think about cultivating a successor in this way at the beginning, the court would not be torn apart, and it would be impossible for those gate lords and big clans to flourish with the help of their sons' strength, let alone let them secretly control the direction of the government.
Isn't there anyone in the Manchu Dynasty who is suitable to go to Huaibei County? Has Great Xia under my rule really reached such a predicament? Can't even a suitable general be chosen? Or do you need to be personally conscripted?
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a small idea, I don't know if it's appropriate?" Seeing the strange quiet atmosphere in the Qinzheng Palace, Shen Yan felt a little uncomfortable, or seeing the emperor's lost eyes, or Shen Yan wanted to leave Jinling temporarily for a period of time and take the Great Xia Royal Army for actual combat exercises.
"Oh, Shen Yan, what do you think?" Hearing Shen Yan's voice, a trace of surprise appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, he asked Shen Yan twice before who was the right person, this cunning kid has been avoiding talking about it, or playing tricks on himself, but at the most critical moment, this kid took the initiative to say that he had a small idea, is this to see me pitiful, or does this kid not want to see me embarrassed and find out with his conscience?
"Your Majesty, you know, Wechen has been training a special army in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing for some time recently, and Wechen has always believed that only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can they truly be worthy of the army number granted by the emperor himself, and can they really serve the emperor, quell those ringworm diseases for the emperor, and guard the frontier for the emperor." Seeing the emperor's approving look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, since he wanted to fight for a chance for himself, he should face it bravely, and not hide it, otherwise, the opportunity would pass quietly from his fingers.
"I know, but the army under your command is only 500 men, how can it take on such a heavy responsibility?" Seeing Shen Yan's spirit of taking the initiative to ask for help, a trace of inexplicable emotion appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, and there was a feeling of seeing the truth in adversity and dying for his confidant, although this feeling was absurd, but it really flowed in Xia Qi's heart.
The emotions between people, sometimes just a small look, a small greeting, will make people feel warm, touched, and unforgettable.
"Your Majesty, Weichen's idea is that Weichen will take them as a vanguard force, mainly for two purposes, one is to let them experience the baptism of blood and fire, promote their rapid growth, and then complete the bet between Weichen and the emperor, and Weichen still wants to win the emperor's last game." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, seemingly naughty and sincere.
"I don't care about your gambling money." Hearing Shen Yan's seemingly naughty words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qi's mouth, knowing that this was Shen Yan easing the atmosphere in the hall, and at the same time, he was sincerely thinking about me, which was enough, so in some details, why should I care too much about some of Shen Yan's subsections, "The second purpose?" ”
"Your Majesty, the second purpose is that Weichen wants to ruthlessly kill a few White Lotus bandits who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and to kill one more real White Lotus Sect bandit is to return Huaibei County to a quiet paradise." A confident and indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, "Of course, due to the limited strength of Weichen, it is impossible for Weichen to sweep away the White Lotus Sect bandits in the entire Huaibei County, so Weichen said that he was willing to be a vanguard force and go to a mansion in Huaibei County, and the emperor will send another army to sit in the town, and the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County will no longer be a problem for the emperor." ”
"I grant your request." After listening to Shen Yan's suggestion, Xia Qi pondered for a while, feeling that it was not impossible for Shen Yan to take the Great Xia Royal Army to Huaibei County, from the meaning expressed by Shen Yan, Shen Yan would only go to Wuzhou Mansion, which was closest to Jinling, Lingnan County of Wuzhou Mansion bordered Ningjiang County of Jinling, and it was only a day's journey, so it should not delay the bet between Shen Yan and me, besides, Shen Yan was more interested in this bet, and he desperately needed to realize his value through this bet, unless the White Lotus Sect mobilized a large army to besiege Shen Yan in Wuzhou Mansion, but in just a few days, it was a question of whether the people of the White Lotus Sect had this awareness and courage, and how could they so coincidentally dispatch a large army to besiege Shen Yan.
"Thank you to the emperor for giving Weichen this opportunity, Weichen will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." Hearing the emperor's permission, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and a strong confidence flashed in his eyes, although it is not the best time now, but he can take advantage of this opportunity to make a break with the Shen family, and investigate the inside story and reason why he was framed when he first crossed.
Shen Yan was so eager to bring the Great Xia Royal Army to Huaibei County, in addition to the two reasons mentioned before, the most real reason was that he wanted to investigate the truth about being framed and set up in the first place, and to return his innocence, which is also something that Shen Yan has always been thinking about.
Shen Yan never stopped wanting to investigate the original truth when he woke up in the forest, but at that time he had no power and powerlessness, so he could only choose to stay away from Lingnan, and it happened that he met Qiu Yingxue and others just after he came out of the forest, and he was seriously injured by inadvertently saving Qiu Yingxue, and he fell into a coma, if it wasn't for Gao Yong who brought him to Jinling City, he would not have such a small achievement as today, otherwise, he really doesn't know if there is a chance to return to Lingnan County in this life to investigate the original truth.
"Your Majesty, Weichen still has a small request, do you still hope that the emperor will approve it?" Gently shaking off the thoughts that had been lingering in his mind, a faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he raised his head and glanced at the emperor, with a faint look of request in his eyes.
