Chapter 638: The borrowing of troops was refused
At this point, Meng Ren can't directly say that he won't borrow troops, otherwise it will be tantamount to offending Song Qi, Gongsun Shang and the emperor at the same time. He pondered for a moment www.biquge.info then said slowly: "Isn't it said that Song Qi is a rare talent?" If Song Qi can get the first place in the martial arts competition, the minister will agree to borrow troops! ”
A careful minister heard it, and Meng Ren called Song Qi by his name! You must know that whether it is Emperor Liang or the prime minister, Song Qi is called Song Concubine. It can be seen that Meng Ren doesn't take Song Qi as a colt in his eyes at all.
"This..." Liang Huang Long's face changed color slightly, and his hand on the dragon chair shook inadvertently. The reason why Emperor Liang reacted so violently was, of course, not because Meng Ren called Song Qi by his name, but because Emperor Liang knew very well how many top masters there were among the children of the royal family! Although he heard that Song Qi was a civil and military all-rounder, and believed that it should be possible for Song Qi to enter the top three, but to let Song Qi win the first place, it was simply something that could not be believed by taking away his throne. When Meng Ren said this, he directly rejected Song Qi's request to borrow troops.
Song Qi was so angry that his face turned white, and his eyes stared at Meng Ren deadly. If eyes could kill, Mengren would have died hundreds of times. Of course, his ring contained countless things that could kill Meng Ren on the spot: the Dragon Scale Sword, the Dragon Shadow Sword, the Repeating Crossbow, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow. Of course, the situation is not bad enough to kill people.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all looked at each other, and they said in their hearts, Monteiwei is really too domineering, and the emperor obviously wants to agree to borrow troops from Song Qi, but Monteiwei said this, not only rejecting Song Qi, but directly not giving the emperor a son.
"Song Qi, do you agree with my proposal? If you don't agree, you don't need to discuss the matter of borrowing troops. Meng Ren said to Song Qi in a mocking tone.
There was silence in the hall, and the needles could be heard.
"I agree!" Song Qi said suddenly. His words were like a firecracker in the hall, and it immediately blew up the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Oh my God, Song Qi actually agreed! He didn't know if it was a pit that Meng Ren had dug for him. Everyone looked at Song Qi like fools.
"Song Yuma, do you really agree?" Liang Huang asked Song Qi in a very apologetic tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Song Qi puffed up his chest and said categorically. At this time, Song Qi felt that it was hopeless to borrow troops, but he didn't want to embarrass Emperor Liang, so he agreed without thinking about it.
"Song Concubine, I can't see that you really have some ambition! Then I'll wait to lend you troops! Haha~" Meng Ren raised his head slightly, looked down at Song Qi with contemptuous eyes, and his tone was extremely mocking and sarcastic. His voice is even more unfriendly and respectful.
When the borrowed troops were refused, Song Qi was very devastated, and he felt sorry for Mingyu and even more sorry for Ling Xue. He felt very bored, and after returning to the Mingzhu compound, he locked himself in the study all day and sulked. Yan Fei and Fu Ling both knew that Song Qi was in a bad mood, so they didn't come to disturb him, and Rao Xiyan and Long Ni didn't dare to provoke him.
Of course, Song Qi didn't sulk, and in the process of sulking, he was still planning revenge.
He was sitting behind a mahogany desk, looking down in thought.
"I have 10 million taels of gold on hand now, even if I can buy an army. If you take out all the more than 400 billion taels of Tibetan silver, you can buy even one country. Why do you want to borrow soldiers! Song Qi suddenly slapped the table with his hand and said hatefully.
"Alas, even if I can afford the army and the country, but where to buy? This is a valuable business! It seems that there are things that money can't do... Song Qi sighed again.
"I can use Hutou Mountain, the territory of Fuhu, as a base, and unite Maotouling and Black Bear Mountain, and their three mountains together have tens of thousands of minions. After I went, I raised my arms and called for troops, and now I have so much wealth that I can easily recruit 100,000 troops. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Song Qi's mouth.
"Treat others the way they do! Lao Tzu is going to use Jin Zhenglei's method to destroy Jin Zhenglei, so it's cool! Song Qi had a strong obsession in his heart.
"Tuk tuk" suddenly came from outside the door.
"Who?" Song Qi asked impatiently.
"Brother Song, it's me." As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Mao Yong. On the first day that Song Qi first became a colt, everyone felt fresh and called Song Qi the master of the horse for a day, and then everyone reverted to their previous titles, whether it was Song Qi or everyone, they all felt that the title of Brother Song was more smooth and kind.
"Come in!" Song Qi said without raising his head.
Mao Yong pushed open the door and said with a smile: "A eunuch came from the palace, saying that there is a holy decree from the emperor, please go and receive the decree." ”
"Order?" Song Qi squinted at Mao Yong and frowned, "Could it be that the emperor agreed to send troops?" Of course, he knew that Emperor Liang would not agree to send troops, and he only said this to express his frustration.
"Perhaps." Mao Yong shrugged his shoulders and followed Song Qi's words and said, "You received the holy decree, don't you know?" ”
"Okay." Song Qi straightened his clothes, followed Mao Yong out of the study, and came to the courtyard inside the second gate of the Ming Zhu compound.
A white-faced little eunuch who was less than twenty years old, with steady steps that did not match his age, had already entered the second gate.
Song Qi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and asked with a smile: "My father-in-law is coming to the cold house, and I am not welcomed." I don't know what my father-in-law will bring? ”
The little eunuch smiled and exchanged a few words, and then passed on the emperor's message: "The emperor has an order: the royal martial arts conference will be held at the royal shooting ground from June 15 to 18. All royal children between the ages of 15 and 35 are required to participate in the event, and they must not be disobeyed. Please sign up now. ”
Song Qi listened to the emperor's decree and knew that it was the matter of the martial arts conference that the court said, so he hurriedly asked the eunuch: "May I ask my father-in-law, what are the items in this martial arts conference?" ”
"There are three events: the archery test, the martial arts test and the battle." The little eunuch's answer was quite concise and skillful, and it seemed that he had already visited many homes to announce the decree before entering Song Qi's door.
"Since there are three projects, there should be three first places, right?" Song Qi asked with a smile. He thought to himself that if he wanted to win the first place in archery, he still had some hope. It looks like the door to the borrowed soldiers is not completely closed.
The little eunuch shook his head and explained solemnly: "The arrow test is only a preliminary test, and only those who pass the preliminary test can enter the battle. The first place in the battle is the first place in the martial arts conference. ”
"Oh, I see!" Song Qi felt that his head suddenly widened.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, how many people will participate in this martial arts conference?"
"Including princes, grandsons, princes, princes' grandsons, county kings, county kings' grandsons, concubines and county horses, at least 3,000 people participated." The little eunuch explained patiently.
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Song Qi hugged his fists and thanked the little eunuch. He seemed to see the door to borrow soldiers suddenly close in his mind.
"Farewell!" The little eunuch waved his dust at Song Qi, turned around and left steadily.
Song Qi stood in the second courtyard, watching the back of the eunuch gradually disappearing, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is the Royal Martial Arts Conference, the royal children are the elite of the world, and it must be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." It's a fantasy for me to win first place! (To be continued.) )
