Chapter Seventy-Nine: Controversy in the Palace
"The matter in Miss Ben's courtyard, please don't interfere too much! Miss Ben knows it! β
"Little sister?!" Mu Xijun was shocked.
Little sister, little sister has never spoken to herself like this!
Why? Why is that?!
"Okay, little sister, big brother knows," Mu Xijun said coldly, "I hope little sister, don't be taken away by some indifferent guys, you must know that you are from Mufu, second miss!" β
Smackββ!
Everyone looked at Mu Xiyao, who was supposed to be sitting on the stone bench, and a fierce man came up to Mu Xiyao and slapped him fiercely!
"Little ...... Little sister ......" Mu Xijun looked at her incredulously.
"Get out!" Mu Xiyao roared exhaustedly.
Mu Xijun turned around, his eyes were blank, and he left in despair-
He couldn't believe it until he walked back to his quarters.
Mu Xiyao actually beat him!
He slowly stroked his flushed face, which was fanned by Mu Xiyao, with a cold expression.
"Little Sister ......"
And after Mu Xijun left, Lian Yaoxuan-
Mu Xiyao stood there, stretching out a hand, just stiff, and her body trembled a little.
She...... She beat her eldest brother who has loved her for more than ten years......
But what he said......
I really don't know whether to live or die!
Yu Laodao's quietly raised hand slowly put it down again.
Just now, he really had murderous intentions towards Mu Xijun.
Because that guy talked about his past.
He was hating, and after five or six hundred years, he still couldn't forget the stain of the past.
In the past, Yu Laodao was indeed a person, some, who lived a life of no three or four.
It's not that he doesn't dare to kill mortals.
It was only because of the presence of the medicine shadow that he didn't make a move.
"Okay," Yaoying said lightly, "If the little girl's palm didn't go down just now, then her so-called eldest brother would indeed not be able to get out of this gate, but-"
He paused, "The old man still gave him a small lesson." β
Mu Xiyao turned around, bowed lightly to Yao Ying and Yu Laodao, "Thank you, two old gentlemen, for your kindness to my brother." β
"Miss," Shuang'er glanced at Mu Xiyao with some distress.
She knows why Mu Xiyao became like this.
When she was beaten, Mu Xijun did not plead.
And when he and the young lady both fainted, he didn't care.
After so many days of healing, the man came, but he did not come to visit the young lady, but only brought a holy decree.
Whoever it is, they're going to be angry, right?
Moreover, he also said such heavy words-
"Miss Ben is fine," Mu Xiyao glanced at them listlessly, and gave an eviction order, "Miss Ben is tired, I'm sorry everyone, Shuang'er, send off-"
"Miss, you haven't ...... yet"
"Can't you hear what Miss Ben says?!"
"I ...... Yes," Shuang'er seemed to want to say something, but she stopped and saluted everyone, "Everyone, please get up, my young lady is not feeling well, so ......"
"It's understandable," Ye Shuqiu was not there, and Yao Ying became the main person among the crowd, "Then, old man, let's not bother, and say goodbye-"
"Well, thank you for your understanding," Frost nodded, sending everyone out.
Mu Xiyao lay weakly on her boudoir.
One of her wrists was gently placed in front of her forehead.
His eyes looked blankly at the beams of the houseβ
Myself...... What's wrong......
How...... You can do it......
What to say...... It seems to be a little heavier too......
I
She slowly closed her eyes, and unconsciously, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Miss," Shuang'er looked at Mu Xiyao, who seemed to have fallen asleep, with both hands over the quilt, gently covering Mu Xiyao's body, and sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Sleep well, the frost will wake you up when the hour comes."
Frost looked up in the direction of the palaceβ
And the palace at this time.
The old emperor also summoned several highly respected ministers and commanders to hold a private court.
"Ahem, this is a battle report from the border pass, you all have to take a look at each other!" Emperor Xia handed a fold to Gonggong Chen beside him, and Gonggong Chen handed it to the people below.
And standing below, there were Mu Junlan, Qin Sheng, and that Qian Long, as well as the ministers of the Household Department and the Military Department.
After Mu Junlan saw it, he frowned a little, so he handed it to Qian Long.
Qian Long looked at it, and handed it to Qin Sheng again with an expressionless face.
After Qin Sheng saw it, he was overjoyed, and he was reluctant to hand it down for a long time, and someone urged him to give it to them reluctantly.
"Zhong Aiqing, how do you feel after reading it?" Xia Huang coughed, but he was actually clearing his throat.
Mu Junlan didn't make a sound, but his eyes gestured to a person behind him, who understood, stood up and bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, according to the minister's opinion, this is the Qin general, but to ask for no merit, only to be without fault!" β
"Oh?" Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, and said slowly, "How do you say this?" β
Before the man could speak, one of the generals under Qin Sheng's command became angry, "Wu Dao Lao! You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk! The little general has such a great merit, if he robs the four cities! What is offset by a sentence of merit and fault?! β
That Wu Dao ignored the general, and said respectfully to Emperor Xia, "Back to the emperor, the little general captured Nanruo, it should have been a merit, butββ"
Before the words fell, the general came out again, "Just do it!" What's the use of saying so much?! β
"A reckless man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind," Wu Dao disdained.
"You!" The general was furious, "You come out and talk to us!" That's a lot of work! But what but! β
"Cutβ"
Emperor Xia looked speechlessly at the commotion below.
Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?
What's the fuss?!
Seeing that he was about to fight, he shouted angrily, "Above the court!" What a system! Shut up! β
And so, it was quiet down thereβ some.
"Wu Aiqing, you go on," Emperor Xia rubbed his temples, these old oilers, "but what? β
Wu Dao continued, "According to what the minister has seen, General Qin Xiao should be guarding Nanruo, not rushing forward with five thousand iron horsemen, if he is rash and Nanruo is lost, thenββ"
He continued to glance at the strong man with disdain, "Then, the little general is not only useless, but also has had!" There is a big mistake! β
Hearing this, Emperor Xia nodded slowly, "This is very reasonable...... What do Zhong Aiqing think? β
The ministers standing behind Mu Junlan stood up one after another and said in unison, "Minister, second!" β
Seeing that this group of old horsemen were so neat, the generals on Qin Sheng's side were angry and a little flustered.
The generals who came out to quarrel before stood up with a big grin, held the admonition card and said, "Your Majesty! Minister, dissent! β
"Objections?" Emperor Xia was stunned, "Where does the dissent come from?" Huan Aiqing, please speak. β
"Please wait for the ministers to come along," Huan Yun is the general on Qin Sheng's side, and he is also experienced in a hundred battles, his voice is loud, and the hall seems to be shaking, "The minister knows, led by General Qin Xiao, but more than 10,000 iron cavalry, it is better to attack the city but not to defend the city, if you really defend the city with iron cavalry, it is a big mistake!" β
When Emperor Xia heard this, he also nodded, "This is also reasonable!" What do you think? β
Mu Junlan's side was silent, but Qin Sheng's side stood up in unison, "Minister, second!" β
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xia opened his eyes and closed his eyes and said, "Then this matter is decided, General Qin Xiao has a merit in capturing the city!" But! If you don't go out of the city without following the military order, even if you capture four cities, you have also had it! Therefore, the merits and demerits are offset, and the matter is so decided! Hugh has to talk about it again! β
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! No! β
"Why not?" Xia Huang said lightly.
"Your Majesty, this will cool the hearts of the soldiers!" The generals said in unison.
"They first committed a crime of military law! Military law is like a mountain! It's already okay not to punish them! Emperor Xia closed his eyes, "Okay, the next topic-"
There was still commotion in the court.
The civilian officials mocked the generals, and the generals also scolded the civilian officials.
"A bunch of reckless men! To know! The military order is like a mountain! Thank God for not being punished! β
"Whew! You sour books and rotten people! I can't see that we have been working hard to pressure you! Jealous of meritocracy! β
"It's a time of peace! It's also a fight and a kill! What kind of system?! β
"your brew! Without those of us who are desperately working in front of us, where would you have any peace! To hell with it! β
"The exit is dirty! What a system! What a system! β
"I'm speechless! Hahaha-"
Xia Huang slapped angrily, "Enough! You think it's a wet market! It's going to be noisy, and then it's going to be noisy! β
The three biggest officials were closing their eyes, as if the quarrel had nothing to do with them.
And yet?
Mu Junlan has always been thinking about gains and losses-
The military must be weakened!
At least! I want the military to be cold to the emperor!
In this way, you can reduce your pressure by half!
And what about Qin Sheng?
There was some joy in my heart, but also some nervousness.
It was his own son who won the victory.
However, if the emperor really loses the reward, I am afraid that it will cool the hearts of those soldiers on the front line.
If it is really not good, he should first take out part of his family wealth and use it for military purposes.
You can live a hard life, but you can't let the soldiers chill!
Speaking of which, the oldest god is Qian Long.
At least the emperor said that the merits and demerits are offset by each other, to put it bluntly.
As the Minister of Finance, he is much less busy.
We are only in charge of money, and we will let the military and government bigwigs quarrel about other things.
Let's just watch the excitement.
"The next topic," Emperor Xia rubbed his temples, "do you want to publicize this matter to inspire people?" β
This emperor is really difficult to do, he is more than half a hundred years old, and he still has to take care of this.
The big one hasn't decided on the princess yet, and the small one isn't sober, and he doesn't dare to hand it over!
I really envy the old brothers, who vacated their positions early.
Alert like a ghost!
Watching them quarrel can be exhausted!
Before Huan Yun could speak, Wu Dao came out again and said, "Return to the emperor!" The minister thinks, no! β
"Why not?" Emperor Xia didn't bother to understand the meaning of their words.
"Back to the emperor, now it is customary to practice martial arts," Wu Dao Lao paused and continued, "Most people like to dance and play with swords, but they have forgotten the book of the ancestors, the book of the ancestors, is the four books and five classics!" β
"Reasonable, reasonable," Emperor Xia nodded approvingly.
Wu Dao received Mu Junlan's approving gaze, and seeing that the emperor had no objections, he continued, "Since they all practiced martial arts, academies such as private schools have been abandonedββ"
"You! Put! Fart! Another general scolded, "Wu Dao'er, you don't have a good heart!" People love to practice martial arts, what does it have to do with publicizing it?! β
yes, what does it matter?
"Naturally, it has something to do with it," Wu Dao nodded, "Fengyang, you listen to me and tell you in detailβ"
