Chapter 45: Promise to Compete
Duan Mufeng, dressed in official uniform, walked in from outside the hall and arched his hand at Xie Wuyi.
"Your Majesty, the minister is late, please forgive the emperor."
"Prime Minister Duan doesn't have to be polite, you have done a good job in curing the plague, you just came back today, you should have a good rest in the mansion." Xie Wuyi's voice was gentle.
Duan Mufeng stood up straight and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the post of commander of the Imperial Forest Army was elected today, and the minister specially came here to recommend the Seventh Prince to serve as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. ”
"Oh?" Xie Wuyi raised his eyebrows, "Why does Prime Minister Duan want to promote the Seventh Prince?" ”
Duan Mufeng spoke: "The Seventh Prince's training of recruits in the military camp before was quite effective, and it is not a problem to lead the Royal Forest Army. Moreover, the minister heard that when he encountered an assassin, the Seven Princes sacrificed their lives to save him, and with such a will, he would definitely be able to protect the safety of the palace with all his heart. ”
And after Duan Mufeng spoke, some ministers who had been silent before suddenly stepped forward to speak and seconded Duan Mufeng.
All of a sudden, the situation in the Jinluan Palace changed greatly, and the people who recommended Xie Changye suddenly accounted for the majority.
Xie Changye chuckled in his heart, no wonder Xie Wuyi didn't have a big reaction just now, it turned out that he was waiting for Duan Mufeng to appear.
"Since so many ministers agree, then I ......"
"Your Majesty, no!" The minister who had just objected spoke again.
"Lord Hu, just now a few of you strongly objected, I considered the opinions of the courtiers, and I wanted to change the candidate. But now that so many courtiers agree, I naturally have to consider their opinions. Or does Lord Hu think that only your opinion is the most important in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and I can only rely on your will to act? ”
Xie Wuyi's tone was slightly cold, revealing the innate imperial majesty, and as soon as these words came out, the cold sweat on the backs of several people who listened to it instantly fell.
"Don't dare!"
"Don't dare!"
"Hmph." Xie Wuyi snorted coldly, "Then do you still have any opinions?" ”
Several people looked at each other and did not dare to speak again.
However, just as Xie Wuyi was about to make an announcement, Mo Ze stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the general will have something to say."
"What is General Mo's opinion?"
Xie Wuyi looked at Mo Ze, and it seemed that he finally couldn't help it.
"Your Majesty, the last general also thinks that the Seventh Prince is a suitable candidate, but for the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, in addition to the two points that Prime Minister Duan said just now, martial arts are also very important. Therefore, the last general proposed that it would be better to let the Seventh Prince, General Han, and Su Shizi compete with each other, and finally judge by the results, so that they can be more convincing to the public. ”
Xie Wuyi frowned, "Seventh Prince, he is injured......"
"Your Majesty, of course, the last general is not talking about now, but after the Seventh Prince recovers from his injuries. The last general's proposal is also to make the commander of the Royal Forest Army convincing. ”
Mo Ze lowered his head and spoke, if it had been placed before, he would naturally not come forward to speak. However, the position of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army is very important, and the Mo family has spent so much effort to definitely not be taken advantage of by Xie Changye.
Xie Wuyi looked at Mo Ze, as soon as the other party's words came out, if he insisted on appointing Xie Changye, there would inevitably be rumors that would be unconvincing to the public.
"General Mo proposed so, seventh brother, do you agree?" Xie Wuyi looked at Xie Changye.
Xie Changye couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, nonsense, she didn't want to compete with others. But in this case, if he refuses, it will be clear that Mo Ze has a reason to continue to object.
"Brother Huang, since General Mo wants to die and struggle, the younger brother will agree."
Mo Ze glanced at Xie Changye, Xie Changye immediately patted his head and said, "I'm really sorry General Mo, how did this king accidentally tell the truth in his heart." ”
Ministers: "......"
Although he had already agreed to the competition, Xie Changye didn't take it to heart, and after returning to Feiyuxuan, he still should eat and drink, and he looked like he didn't take anything to heart.
Xie Wuyi asked Sui Feng to carefully select two guards with strong martial arts skills and arranged to go to Feiyu Xuan, wanting to temporarily make up for Xie Changye.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed, and seeing that the time for the competition was approaching, Xie Wuyi took Sui Feng to Feiyu Xuan.
Outside Feiyu Xuan, through the courtyard gate, I heard a sound of breaking wind inside, which sounded like it should be practicing boxing.
Xie Wuyi felt a rare burst of relief in his heart, pushed the door in, and was just about to see how Xie Changye's kung fu was doing, but when he saw the situation in the courtyard, the whole person was stunned.
The two guards he sent were fighting in the courtyard, and on the side of the stone table, Xie Changye was watching with relish, and the melon seeds and peels were set up on a whole table.
Dare to thank Long Night for a long night, is this regarded as watching juggling on the street?
"Xie Changye!"
"Brother Huang, why are you here!" Xie Wuyi saw Xie Changye, threw down the melon seeds in his hand, and said hello with a smile.
And Xiao Linzi and the two guards beside him also hurriedly stopped and saluted.
Xie Wuyi walked up to Xie Changye with a cold face, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm watching and learning kung fu." Xie Changye immediately spoke, and after speaking, he said to the two guards, "Don't stop, you two, this king is watching wonderfully, continue to continue!" ”
The two guards glanced at each other and proceeded with the order.
And Xie Changye greeted Xie Wuyi without any weakness and said, "Brother Huang, sit down." ”
Xie Wuyi originally wanted to get angry, but thinking that Xie Changye had saved himself after all, and the injury was just right, he finally sat down with a cold face.
"I asked them to come here to teach you kung fu, have you been watching them fight all this time?"
"Of course not!" Xie Changye shook his head.
Hearing this, Xie Wuyi's face softened slightly, and it seemed that Xie Changye was still a little measured.
"Actually, they're not bad at sword dancing, oh yes, and the performance of crushing boulders on their chests can even surpass the street show!"
Xie Wuyi: "......" should not have illusions.
"Xie Changye, there will be a competition in two days, the South Korean army has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, but it is not easy to deal with, do you understand these?"
"Understood." Xie Changye nodded as he picked up a turquoise orange and peeled it, "So is the imperial brother ready?" ”
"I'm ready?" Xie Wuyi was stunned for a moment, "Xie Changye, shouldn't it be you who prepared?" ”
"What kind of joke is the imperial brother, how can the younger brother defeat the Korean army." Xie Changye had a ghostly expression, "You haven't thought about what to do yet, have you?" ”
Xie Wuyi choked for a moment, "How do you want me to prepare?" ”
"Of course it's a black hand behind the scenes!" Xie Changye replied with a serious face, "For example, poison him, chin beans, and incense, or take advantage of the moon and dark wind to beat him up and let him lie in bed for a few days, anyway, he can't appear in the competition as scheduled!" ”
The corners of Xie Wuyi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xie Changye with complicated eyes, "Xie Changye, how did you do it so justifiably to play tricks behind your back?" ”
Xie Changye blinked, and said more confidently: "Of course, it's because, the younger brother is all for the imperial brother!" ”
