Chapter 137
Yan Lu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly and said, they are all small people in the market, and they are thousands of years old when they go out to fight, and they really have never seen the world
Brother Yan, why bother to meet them in general. Besides, at the moment of the great enemy, we have to share the same hatred, and we should support General Jing a lot. Jia Peng pretended to say, and raised his chopsticks, took a piece of braised pork, put it in Yan Lu's bowl, come, eat vegetables.
I'm just an emperor's favorite and a general, and I can't kick my nose in the face
During Jing Tingrui's time on duty, Zeng Shangben participated in his poor supervision of weapons, resulting in the inventory of iron bows and arrows not being in the right quantity, and hundreds of pairs were missing.
This kind of thing has existed in previous years, lack of manpower, tight construction period, complex process, etc., there are always reasons for the delay in delivery, at this time, as long as it is delayed for some time, even if it is a few months later, it is not a big deal.
But Jing Tingrui actually went to the court, and said in a heartfelt manner, the emperor's armory warehouse is related to the safety of the palace, and it should be delivered in time.
Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, but only confiscated his three-month fortune and ordered him to step up manufacturing and replenish the inventory as soon as possible.
But this incident really shocked him into a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded Jing Tingrui for inviting merit, so he grabbed other people's pigtails and didn't let go, he was a hypocrite, a real villain
Now, seeing Jing Tingrui wearing the eagle armor given by the emperor and made by their Ministry of Industry, such a beautiful and ambitious appearance, he is even more angry, and with the strength of wine, he complained to Jia Peng again and again, a stunned young man, what is there to be proud of, come back with a defeat another day, I will see how he will die
Hey, what you said is getting more and more unkind Jia Peng stroked his long beard, but the words in his mouth changed his head, but even God can't help with the things on the battlefield, let alone the emperor who is far away.
Yan Lu was so drunk that he couldn't understand the intention of Jia Peng's words, but he just nodded with a smirk, and before he lost his temper in front of the emperor, Jia Peng called a guard, helped him down to rest, and sobered up.
In the yellow curtain, the lanterns and candles became brighter and brighter, and Jia Peng's mind was also very clear.
Jing Tingrui became a general, and instead of regretting that he was given such a big opportunity to make contributions, it was better to take advantage of the time when he was out of the palace to collect the heart of the young man.
The emperor didn't even discuss with him, so he appointed Jing Tingrui, which is not in line with the system of the dynasty, and the other ministers said that the matter is urgent, and the emperor is also thinking about the overall situation, so he will immediately go to the army.
But Jia Peng understands very well that in the final analysis, the emperor didn't take him seriously.
It's not that the emperor doesn't know the sky and the earth is thick, but he is too young and only knows how to read people's appearance. It is undeniable that Jing Tingrui's appearance is quite outstanding, and at today's ceremony, the posture of the coexistence of majesty and elegance does not know how many girls' hearts will be intoxicated.
Coupled with the friendship that accompanied him as a child, the emperor will fall for him, and it is natural to spoil him in everything.
It's just that this kind of grace not only did not make Jing Tingrui fall into the situation of a courtier, but took advantage of the emperor's support behind him
The higher you climb, the more awe you are of him, this is the last thing Jia Peng wants to see in the middle of a love game.
Back then, Ke Weiqing was a pet, and at that time, his situation was much more miserable, and everyone could poke his nose in front of him and insult him to serve the king
With the same status, now that he has changed to a different person, how can he be in such a different situation Jing Tingrui is obviously more popular, and others don't know how he did it. Even Jia Peng himself thought that he was unsympathetic in his work, and he deserved to offend many people.
But before he knew it, almost all the generals became his followers, and even the officials applauded him.
Jia Peng's officialdom has been up and down for decades, and he knows that a truly powerful opponent will not declare his presence and threat with his teeth and claws, and the invasion like a boiled frog in warm water makes people shudder
I'm afraid that even if he dies at his hands, I don't understand how he died.
Jia Peng was also afraid that he wanted to send assassins before, so he ended Jing Tingrui's behavior. Because this will not only not let Jing Tingrui die, but may affect himself.
Even Prince Jing's Mansion can't control Jing Tingrui.
As a veteran of the two dynasties, it is not enough to rely on the emperor's grace. Sometimes, those deep-rooted royal relatives are also the most powerful support behind it, and Jia Peng is well versed in how to please those rich and idle old men.
It's time to win more hearts and minds.
If you go out, don't come back. Pinching the wine glass in his hand, Jia Peng secretly thought that winning the battle was to be fought, and Dayan could not lose the city and land again, but if he could die in battle, it would be better.
Who said it wouldn't come true
Jia Peng couldn't help but smile, holding a glass and wanting to toast the emperor, but he looked around but didn't see anyone, stopped An Ping and asked, only to know that the emperor accidentally drank too much, went down to rest, and came later, so he went back to sit again.
Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming.
Xiao Dezi stood outside a silver-white embroidered dragon curtain and reminded in a low voice.
I see. Ai Qing sighed, he finally got out of the banquet, and pulled Jing Tingrui to talk alone for a while, and the time was very tight.
Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. Jing Tingrui stretched out his hand and gently stroked Aiqing's face full of reluctance, and said softly, the end will go as soon as possible, and he can also come back as soon as possible.
Well, I just want to look at you two more times. Aiqing raised her head, and by the bright candlelight, she couldn't wait to carve Jing Tingrui's appearance stroke by stroke and imprint it in her eyes. Fortunately, when I missed Jing Tingrui, I immediately appeared in front of me, as if he was by my side to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
The emperor should take care of the dragon body, don't work too hard. Jing Tingrui resisted the urge to kiss Aiqing, just pinched the slender fingers and admonished.
Well, you too. Aiqing smiled slightly, by the way, I have something for you to bring.
It was Jing Tingrui who saw Aiqing reach into the sleeve of his shirt, and then found out a delicate box.
The inside is an iron box, and the outer cover is carved from camphor wood, which is insect-proof and moth-proof, and is coated with varnish and waterproof. And the box is carved on five sides, and the lid of the box is a double dragon playing with pearls, which is really difficult for craftsmen, but on the palm size of the box lid, each piece of dragon scales is carved and painted vividly.
There is also a bronze lock on the top, and a key is extremely delicate.
This is the secret box, which only I can open to see. Aiqing smiled slightly and said, there are two keys, and now I will deliver the box to you, but I have to send it back often.
The secret box has been around since ancient times, and when the secret agent sent by the Emperor Taishang came back with a letter, he used such a box.
When the agent had finished writing the letter, he put it in the box, fastened the lock, and when the messenger sent it back to the Emperor, he would take out the only key and open it for inspection.
And different secret agents, with different boxes, the color represents the grade, and now this double dragon play bead, that is the highest.
Jing Tingrui knew that Aiqing gave him this, not to ask him to secretly play the military situation, but he still deliberately said that the last general must obey the order, and it must be very detailed
Leak, truthfully report the situation of the war.
I didn't ask you to write this.
Aiqing was really anxious, and said with a red face, Of course, I want to know about the military situation, but if there is something about you, I can also write it inside, I also
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jing Tingrui's eyebrows and eyes slightly constricted, and his smile grew.
You Aiqing couldn't help but beat Jing Tingrui's chest, but the back of his hand hurt because of the armor carved with an eagle.
The emperor's affection for the last general, no matter where he goes, the last general will never forget. Jing Tingrui held that hand, pulled it to his lips and branded a kiss, and said in a deep voice, I will remember you in my heart.
Aiqing wanted to say something, but after all, she was too excited to speak.
Xiao Dezi didn't want to disturb them, but he had to urge them again and again, Aiqing took two deep breaths, and then went out with Jing Tingrui and announced his departure.
I should have been protecting you.
At the banquet, some courtiers greatly praised Jing Tingrui for going out for the emperor, which was a note of wine and koji. But in Aiqing's heart, she couldn't help but think like that.
I am the emperor, you are the general, it is reasonable, the emperor should send the general out to fight. But in my heart, I was reluctant.
I am the emperor, you are the general.
Aiqing climbed the city wall and muttered to himself as he watched the mighty marching procession go away. I never felt that there was anything wrong with this, even if I was the emperor and Rarity was the general, it wouldn't stop them from loving each other.
But at the moment when Jing Tingrui left, he really felt that the emperor and the general had different statuses and different responsibilities, even if they wanted to protect him wholeheartedly, they still had to send him to the battlefield.
The contradiction in his heart was so deep, and he had never minded the difference in identity so much before.
A gloomy mood that he had never felt before also enveloped Aiqing's heart, but he quickly shook his head and calmed down the chaotic emotions.
Rarity isn't your average general, and I have to be a good emperor and can't worry Rarity. Aiqing cheered herself up, but she couldn't get anything done because she left Jing Tingrui.
This time the difference made Aiqing have the consciousness of being an emperor. In the days that followed, he learned new knowledge without sleep or food, and was no longer the naughty prince who scribbled on the book as soon as he picked it up and wrote poems
