Chapter 65: Choice
When An Lingsu heard this, his expression was straight.
"Dean Chen......" She looked up at the old man in front of her who deserved her respect for a lifetime, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Su Su, I also went to watch today's ring match. Dean Chen suddenly talked about it.
"You went too?" An Lingsu was a little surprised.
Around the ring, she didn't notice Dean Chen. Moreover, if Dean Chen also went, with his identity, it would definitely cause a sensation.
In fact, over the years, Dean Chen has rarely appeared in public in front of the students of the college.
"yes. Dean Chen smiled and nodded. "Susu, today, I asked Huang Jiang to stop you from doing it......"
Huang Jiang is the college teacher in charge of the big competition.
"Why?" An Lingsu didn't understand.
Just now, in the ring, she originally wanted to directly abolish Zhou Yuerong's cultivation. But the teacher glanced at her before they started fighting......
"Because," Dean Chen smiled and said softly, "Susu, your talent is very strong. However, you are still too weak now. ”
An Ling nodded thoughtfully.
She knew that the weakness in Dean Chen's mouth did not mean that she did not have the strength to abolish Zhou Yuerong, but that she ...... A person's strength also contains her identity and background!
"Su Su," Dean Zhou saw that she understood what she meant, and then continued, "Zhou Yuerong is the daughter of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is one of the top families in the Yun Zhou Empire. What's more, she is still Zhou Xingxing's granddaughter after all......"
"Zhou Xingxing?" Hearing this name, An Lingsu was a little surprised.
"Why, do you think this name is a bit strange?" Dean Chen glanced meaningfully at the girl opposite and said with a smile, "This name was taken by Empress Zhang Huang back then. ”
I see.
An Lingsu smiled.
That senior is really direct, everything is directly used, hehe......
"It's kind of weird. She smiled and said, "The name Zhou Xingxing is very ...... Lovely. ”
"Is it cute?" Dean Chen was stunned, with his age and identity, it seemed difficult to associate the word cute.
"However, Zhou Xingxing is not cute at all. He continued, "He is the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is the righteous brother of Empress Zhang Huang. Therefore, the power of the Zhou family in the court is unimaginable. If you take action to abolish Zhou Yuerong, even if Zhou Xingxing doesn't care about the face of the academy, the rest of the Zhou family can also take care of it. So ......"
"So, you're telling me to stop and let the academy take care of this matter instead?" An Lingsu took over.
"Not bad. Dean Chen nodded. "Zhou Yuerong did such a wrong thing, if the academy came forward, others would have nothing to say. ”
"Thank you, Dean Chen. An Lingsu bowed and thanked him sincerely.
She knew that the academy was doing this to protect her, so it could be said that it was well-intentioned.
"Su Su," Dean Chen helped her up, "For the academy, you are more important than ten thousand Zhou Yuerong. Of course, if you want to take revenge with your own hands, it is not impossible. It's just that the timing is not right now......"
An Lingsu frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, it's time to use troops against the barbarians in the north. Dean Chen said suddenly.
"How come?" An Lingsu was surprised.
Isn't it that since Zhang Huang was born sixty years ago, the northern barbarians have been cowering in the Mobei grassland, and they no longer dare to step into the northern frontier of the empire?
Since the other party is so obedient, why does the imperial court still use troops against the barbarians?
In An Lingsu's opinion, isn't this nothing to do?
Dean Chen looked up at the sky and said slowly, "Susu, in fact, over the years, Northern Xinjiang has not been peaceful. Since Zhang Huanghou disappeared, the barbarians have gradually become bolder. Over the years, there have been constant frictions in the Northland, and skirmishes have often broken out. It's just that because it doesn't want to cause panic among the people, the imperial court has been pressing the matter ......"
After listening to Dean Chen's words, An Lingsu finally understood.
It turned out that the northern land had long been in chaos, but the imperial court had been whitewashing the peace all these years.
But if this is the case, why would the imperial court suddenly openly wage war against the barbarians?
This doesn't make sense!
She looked up at Dean Chen.
"Susu," Dean Chen sighed and punned, "Now, some people in the palace have grown up. ”
Naturally, it is not only the princes who are competing for the crown prince, but also the emperor's gradually expanding ambition!
An Lingsu understood what Dean Chen meant, and then thought of Zhu Yuncheng's words when he left......
She couldn't help but sigh.
It turns out that the situation in the court is now so delicate and complicated?
"However, hasn't the imperial court been whitewashing the peace all these years? What will the people think about this sudden declaration of war against the barbarians? You know, the people have always thought that the barbarians in the north are very honest all these years...... Wouldn't there be any suspicion of reckless militarism when this sudden war began?" she asked, looking up, frowning slightly.
"How could it be sudden? There is a reason why these two countries are at war. Dean Chen continued, "Tomorrow, the emperor will publicly announce to the world that the barbarians are provoking first, first sending people to assassinate Zhao Shilong, the servant of the ministry, and then assassinating the eldest princess Lingyun who went out to the north in Weifu...... Therefore, the imperial court will send troops to fight against it. ”
An Lingsu was dumbfounded.
The emperor pushed Zhao Shilong's death on the body of the barbarians in the north?
"Dean Chen, why are you telling me these secrets?" An Lingsu suddenly asked after a moment.
She just wanted to practice and study in the academy, and she didn't want to participate in the troubled times of the outside world at all.
"These, too, are not secrets. Dean Chen looked back at her and sighed. "Three days later, His Majesty will issue an edict to publicize the assassination of Zhao Shilong and Princess Lingyun, and officially raise troops for the Northern Expedition. ”
"What about the Academy, what will the Academy do?" An Lingsu asked.
Dean Chen smiled.
This kid is really smart, and he asked the key to the matter at once.
"Susu, that's what I'm looking for you today. Dean Chen suddenly asked with a serious face, "Are you willing to take on the future of the academy?"
The future of the Academy?
An Lingsu was silent.
I thought that this choice would come up a long time later, but I didn't want to, it came so suddenly.
Dean Chen didn't urge, just looked at her quietly.
An Lingsu suddenly took a deep breath.
"Dean Chen, what does the academy need me to do?" she asked, looking up.
Dean Chen smiled again, very relieved and complicated.
"Susu, we hope you can end this war!" Dean Chen said slowly.
An Lingsu's mouth opened wide, and she was extremely surprised.
How is this possible?
She is not the extremely powerful senior, how can she end a war by herself?
Now she really can't do it!
"Susu, you can. As long as you can go to the barbarian court in the depths of Mobei and get one thing back. Dean Chen said.
"What's that?" An Lingsu frowned.
What is it that can be strong enough to end this war?
An Lingsu was very curious.
