Chapter 136: Preparing for the Expedition
Emperor Changping was furious when he heard the news, and slapped the handle of the dragon chair fiercely, walking back and forth anxiously on it.
"Your Majesty, now that the prince's body has just recovered, this is not suitable for sending troops to fight. According to the old minister, it is more appropriate for Hou Ye to go, Hou Ye's ability to lead troops to fight is also very good, and he has just been named Hou Ye, and he can also give the other party a strong blow! It's the safest way to do it! ”
Although Chu Feng is the crown prince, the ministers of the court are still Chu Yan's subordinates, how can they let Chu Feng do such a meritorious deed, after the prime minister finished speaking, he immediately signaled Chu Yan.
"Yes! Father! In the past, the eldest brother has always been worried about the country, but now the eldest brother is in good health, and the conditions ahead are difficult, so it should be the sons and daughters who go on the expedition, and ask for the permission of the father! Chu Yan also immediately requested.
Emperor Changping was actually reluctant to let Chu Yan go on the expedition in his heart, he didn't speak, just walked back and forth on it, as if he was still thinking about something.
"Your Majesty! The crown prince and the second prince are important figures in our court, the prince is the future prince, and the second prince is the marquis. ”
Just when Emperor Changping was thinking about it, Xiao Changxiu's words instantly calmed Emperor Changping, and Emperor Changping actually forgot that it was Xiao Changxiu who was the most heroic and good at fighting in the court.
"General Xiao! You were indeed able to defeat ten enemies with one before, but now that you have no legs and feet, how can you lead troops to fight, if you go out like this, won't it make the other party look down on us too much, is it possible that we have no one? It turned out that a lame man would be a general! Isn't that a shame! ”
The prime minister immediately sneered at Xiao Changxiu next to him, with a look of reluctance.
"Prime Minister, the minister's leg has long been healed, haven't you noticed?" Since Xiao Changxiu was injured last time, everyone has slowly forgotten about him, and the power of the Xiao family is slowly weakening, so naturally everyone can't pay attention to Xiao Changxiu.
I never thought that I could see the good Xiao Changxiu appear in front of everyone today, and the prime minister looked at the legs that were no different from ordinary people, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Haha! That's right, father, we still have General Xiao, there should be more ministers to ask Ying to go on the expedition, as the prince, the son is naturally worried about his father, and the son is almost in good health, although the conditions ahead are difficult, but the son will definitely bring good news to his father, and please ask my father to do it! ”
Chu Feng didn't go to court today, but when he heard the prime minister insulting Xiao Changxiu like this at the door, he couldn't help it, and immediately went in and said.
Cheng Cheng's face was also pale, and he looked a little unable to get off the table.
"Father! Let's go to Erchen, the eldest brother should have a good rest! Seeing the situation, Chu Yan also seized the opportunity to say.
"Alright. Okay, don't make any noise, so let's do it, this time Chu Feng will be the commander first, Xiao Changxiu will be the general, and then give you 20,000 troops, and you will go to the outside of the fortress immediately! If you need anything else, please ask the messenger to communicate when the time comes! You two, be careful! ”
Emperor Changping immediately eased everyone's quarrel, which made Chu Yan very unhappy, and Emperor Changping announced that he would go down to the court, and everyone was still talking in the court.
Chu Yan suddenly smiled and walked in front of Chu Feng first. "Big brother, you really have the courage, you are worthy of being the prince, since you don't share it for the eldest brother, then the younger brother will prepare a banquet and wait for the eldest brother to return triumphantly!"
"Haha! Okay, second brother, these days when I am not in the imperial court, you have to help your father deal with state affairs, we are one in the main and one outside the main, and it will become a beautiful conversation in the future! ”
Chu Yan and Chu Feng exchanged a few polite words and left.
"Prince, you don't have to go with the ministers, this little war, I can do it alone, besides, the emperor also gave 20,000 troops, which is enough!" Xiao Changxiu didn't quite understand what Chu Feng meant, in fact, the emperor didn't want them to go out.
"Humph! If this prince doesn't go out, how can my father know about someone's fox tail, let's catch turtles in an urn this time! "Chu Feng seems to have planned it. Xiao Changxiu didn't want to say more. "Okay, General Xiao, I have to work for you this time, without further ado, let's leave tomorrow!"
As soon as Xiao Changxiu got home, he began to pack his luggage and found the armor he had put up, and Chang Qing specially helped him put it back on.
"Haha! I really didn't expect that I would be able to go to the battlefield again to kill the enemy! As long as I can make war exploits again this time, then I can investigate how my father died unjustly! Xiao Changxiu has done so much just to give back to his father.
Qin E heard that Xiao Changxiu was going to the battlefield, and she also ran over with her stomach straight, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Changxiu wearing armor, he was so heroic and free.
"Haha... Wife! Do you look at your father-in-law? How is it? It's a bit of a behind-the-door feeling! I've finally waited for this day! Xiao Changxiu confidently teased in front of Qin E, and deliberately turned around to let Qin E look at his mighty appearance.
Qin E was suddenly a little panicked, in the last life, the Xiao family was framed as a spy because of Xiao Changxiu's defeat on the battlefield, and the entire Xiao family was also beheaded. I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"No! You can't go, Changqing, hurry up and take off the general's armor for me! Qin E was rarely serious, and stared directly at Chang Qing and Xiao Changxiu.
Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Changxiu immediately walked in front of Qin E and helped Qin E to do it. "Lady! Look at you, what's wrong with you! This! Your father-in-law is going to go on the expedition, and besides, the emperor personally named your father-in-law to go, how can you not go, besides, I am very clear about the situation on the other side, I will come back in about half a month and add the time of the war! It's going to be fine! ”
"No! Xiao Changxiu! I'm telling you, you can't go, you can't go, evergreen, hurry up and help the beater take off the armor, and then throw it out for me! How far to throw and how far to throw! Qin E suddenly looked angry, which made Xiao Changxiu and Chang Qing stunned, Xiao Changxiu hurriedly motioned to Lu He and Chang Qing to go out, and then sat down obediently beside Qin E.
While gently stroking Qin E's stomach with his hand, he gently poured Qin E a cup of tea. "Haha... Wife! Don't worry, you're pregnant, you can't be angry, we have something to say! What the hell is going on? ”
