Chapter 38: Impact
As soon as Xiao Chumo heard Mo Baozhou's words, his heart sank, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The minister has no such intention, he just thinks that it is just a civil unrest and there is no need to send elite troops to encircle and suppress it." ”
Seeing that he had changed his words, Mo Baozhou immediately snorted, "Diao people are making trouble, trying to shake the society of the country, how can such a ghost not use elite soldiers?" If you don't let them know the power of the court, won't you lose the majesty of me, the majesty of the court! ”
Xiao Chumo wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mo Baozhou, "You don't have to say any more, I have made up my mind, if you don't want to go, I will arrange for someone to be there, there is no need to push back here!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chumo knew that there was no turning point, so he had to bow his head and accept his orders.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers who had not spoken out to dissuade Mo Baozhou before, a few stepped forward to comfort him, but a few looked at him from a distance and sneered, feeling that he didn't say a word at the beginning of the matter, but now it has reached the point where it is out of control, but it is already too late to dissuade him.
In the face of the reactions of all parties, Xiao Chumo did not argue for himself, and after meeting with a few adults, he went straight home.
Without waiting for Yu Panxi to ask, Xiao Chumo said what happened in the court by himself, and his face was even more worried, "Why did the civil unrest start, everyone knows it, and the teacher is unknown, who is willing to go." Even if someone is willing to go, they all want to show their faces in front of the emperor, and when they are eager for quick success and quick profit, when they quell the civil unrest, they will definitely not be merciful, and when the time comes, it will be a bloody storm, so I will still take it. ”
"It's just ......" he paused and held Yu Panxi's hands, "It's just that this expedition will definitely damage my reputation, I don't care about myself, it's just that I will be scolded by the people!" ”
Yu Panxi smiled slightly, "How many thorns have been said in this kind of thing, you and I are husband and wife, what is not involved, no matter what the result is, I will advance and retreat with you." ”
Xiao Chumo hugged her into his arms and said softly: "Having said that, I can't stand you after all." ”
"Don't talk about that." Yu Panxi patted him lightly on the shoulder and asked, "Can you say when you will go on the expedition?" ”
Xiao Chumo let go of her and said, "Set off in five days, these days to order troops and prepare food and grass, I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time at home." ”
"It doesn't matter." Yu Panxi paused, looked at him again and said solemnly: "I want to go with you." ”
Xiao Chumo thought he had heard it wrong at first, and frowned: "What? After Yu Panxi solemnly repeated it again, he immediately said categorically: "No! ”
"Why not!" Yu Panxi's voice couldn't help but raise a few points, "Could it be that you really went to war?" These chaotic people can't survive anymore, they are forced to live, and you don't know the reason, do you really do it to them? ”
Xiao Chumo was dumbfounded by her question, of course he couldn't do anything to the innocent people, but the military order was like a mountain, how could he refuse, after weighing left and right, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "If he could have tried his best to stop the emperor at the beginning, now he ......"
"Xiao Chumo, why do you have to deceive yourself!"
Yu Panxi couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said angrily:
"You knew from the beginning that the construction of Shuiyun Palace was imperative, at that time, even if it was the lives of a group of old ministers, or even your own life, Shuiyun Palace would still rise from the ground on your bones, and now that things have developed to this point, it is the emperor who has pushed himself into the abyss step by step, why do you insist on taking these things on yourself to maintain an emperor who has already been hopelessly deaf!"
Xiao Chumo was shocked by her words, obviously he hadn't realized that there was anything wrong with his thoughts before, and he was even more shocked by Yu Panxi's boldness.
Yu Panxi slowed down his tone and said:
"I have been walking in the palace for many years, I have seen a lot of obscure things in the palace, and I am even more clear about the emperor's personality.
"In the years he has been on the throne, he has eaten all the old books accumulated by the first emperor when he was there, and at this point he has exhausted the mountains and rivers. I understand that your Xiao family has been loyal and brave for generations, and you are even more loyal to the emperor, but I believe that you are not a foolish and loyal person. This day is going to change, but there is another saying that if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful! ”
Her words had a great impact on Xiao Chumo, and she was speechless for a while, and then she didn't say a word, and she didn't eat, so she went directly to the army.
Seeing his reaction, Yu Panxi was also a little helpless, although Xiao Chumo was not a pedantic person, but he was educated to be loyal and patriotic since he was a child, so over the years, although he had seen all the injustices in the DPRK and China and Mo Baozhou's absurd actions, he had never had the slightest sense of rebellion.
If she allowed, she also wanted to slowly reverse his thoughts, but the speed of things was something that even she didn't expect.
In the previous life, the construction of Shuiyun Palace was delayed for some time due to the strong dissuasion of several courtiers and Xiao Chumo, and the construction officially started only after the treasury was slightly full. At that time, it was even more in accordance with the process, taxes and forced labor, although the project was still heavy, but there was no phenomenon of a large number of people dying of exhaustion, and even if there were, they were compensated and appeased.
But she just influenced Xiao Chumo's decision, things were like a horse that had taken off the reins, and it was no longer under control, which was very different from her previous life, and even she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Yu Panxi also understood that this life was completely different from her previous life, and things would change dramatically because of her small changes, and then she had to be careful every step of the way, plan well, and no longer rely on the memories of her previous life to take it lightly.
After Xiao Chumo came back that night, he still didn't say a word, and he was extremely cold to Yu Panxi.
Yinling and Chulu looked at each other on the side, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.
Yu Panxi didn't get angry when he saw him like this, nor did he take the initiative to talk to him, but just silently picked up vegetables for him.
Yinling was anxious to see on the side, and saw Yu Panxi sandwiching a sweet and sour fish, so he said: "General, this is the fish that Mrs. personally went to the fish market yesterday to order from the fishermen, and sent it this morning, and it was kept in the kitchen, and it was still fresh when it was slaughtered......
Yu Panxi glanced at Xiao Chumo's silent appearance, raised his hand to stop Yinling's words, shook his head at her slightly, and motioned for her to stop talking.
Silver Bell had no choice but to frown and step aside.
Fortunately, Xiao Chumo did not resist Yu Panxi's talent, there was not a single bite left, but he still didn't speak, ate in silence, and went to the study, which was very interesting if he didn't go back to the room to sleep.
Although Yu Panxi didn't say anything about his move, Yinling was very annoyed, "What's wrong with the general, Madame thinks about him in everything, treats him so well, how can he be angry for no reason, even if there is something dissatisfied, he has to say it, what to do so coldly." ”
