Chapter 59: Three Lives Are Lucky
Above the court.
"Today, General He Jie sent someone to report that there is turmoil between various departments, as if they are going to attack my Fengming Kingdom together, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks." The king sat in the middle of the court hall and asked with a majestic face.
On the court, there are two teams, one is the civil officials, they are all headed by the prime minister of Nangong, and the other is the military generals, they are all looking to the Hou Mansion and the horse.
"Back to the king, Weichen is willing to lead his elite soldiers to go, and he must let those barbarians know that our Fengming Kingdom is not easy to provoke." Hou Ye's face is domineering, and there is a kind of anger that the old horse is also angry.
"By no means, the minister is unwilling and does not approve of such a war, for several years, my Fengming country has been riddled with holes, and every war is a disaster brought to the common people one after another."
"Our treasury seems to be full, but in fact, it has long been beyond our means, and we can't just want to use force to rectify it." Prime Minister Nangong hurriedly retorted.
In recent years, civil officials have been unpopular in the court, and if this time, let these generals return triumphantly, then I am afraid that there will be no place for civil officials to stand on this huge court.
"Prime Minister, are you civil officials all such greedy for life and afraid of death, you must know that the entire Fengming Kingdom was brought back by us and the king in a bloody battle, and it was all piled up one life after another."
"Instead of you so-called civil officials standing here and understating two sentences, then the city will belong to us, anyway! If you don't fight, you will surrender, and the old minister will not accept it! "Hou Ye looked like he was sworn to death.
"Master Hou, don't always think about starting a war by force, you also have to think about a war that can be resolved through negotiation, why do you want to make a big move! If it's just tribes and tribes don't want to make annual offerings with us. We can also lighten their offerings. Prime Minister Nangong was still chattering.
"That's it! Your Aiqing's remarks, this king is already very clear, but I still agree with Hou Ye's idea, our country is built by our hard work, and we can't be asked to go casually. ”
"Someone! The Prince of Heshun was declared into the palace. The king said loudly.
And when the entire court heard such movements, they also began to whisper underneath.
"Why do you say that the king has announced a nest of princes entering the palace?"
"The king still wants to hear the opinion of this nest of princes! It's ridiculous! ”
A group of civil officials began to whisper, and literati like this naturally looked down on a prince like Ling Changwu who had neither brains nor military exploits.
"Master Hou, what do you think of this matter?" A military general behind Hou Ye cautiously whispered in Hou Ye's ear.
"Prince Ling Changwu is the king's favorite prince, but he is still young all these years, and now, it is not impossible to let him participate in the affairs of this court." Hou Ye rolled his eyes and looked at the generals behind him.
"But...... Master Hou, haven't you heard that this prince was hit hard by the death of his biological mother a few years ago, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since? ”
"Who doesn't have two means in the backyard of the deep palace." After Hou Ye finished speaking, he directly ignored anyone behind him, just closed his eyes and stood alone.
After Ling Changwu heard the announcement, he also put on his official uniform non-stop and hurriedly walked to the palace.
Along the way, Ling Changwu was thinking about why his father would announce his entry into the palace at this time, and he didn't understand what was going on.
"The emperor's son Ling Changwu sees his father, I wish my father a long and healthy life, and I have seen all the ministers in the court." Ling Changwu still looked a little crazy and stupid, which made people unable to see clearly and couldn't understand.
"Come, let this king take a look, my child." The king's face suddenly had some tenderness and affection.
"Your Majesty, we are now discussing negotiation or conquest." Prime Minister Nangong said directly, he didn't like Ling Changwu himself, how could he watch Ling Changwu be favored in front of the king again.
Only then did the king think that the reason why he had Xuanjin Ling Changwu into the palace this time was completely because he wanted Ling Changwu to lead the troops to fight, and this matter was still the queen's idea, otherwise the king would be reluctant to do so anyway.
However, the king also thought about it, no matter whether his children are really crazy or fake crazy, they must have a certain amount of military exploits, otherwise how can they marry a wife and have children, not to mention that this time there is a Hou Ye going together, there will definitely be no problems.
"Ling Changwu stepped forward to listen to the order!" The father-in-law standing on the side already knew what the king meant, and he directly announced it loudly.
"In!" Ling Changwu knelt directly on one knee, holding his hands together above his head, looking like he was waiting for the king's marriage, and kept smirking.
"Prince Heshun, Ling Changwu listens to the order, there is turmoil among the various tribes in the frontier today, and this king orders you and Hou Ye to go together to recover the tribe. You are the commander-in-chief, and the Hou Ye will have to take care of Ling Changwu for this king's good life this time. "The majesty of the king in front of him is now a little spoiled.
Hou Ye nodded and didn't say anything.
Wang Shang could naturally see this subtle change, and then said, "Master Hou, now that you are old, it is natural to let these younger generations know how hard we worked back then, so that we can lay down the country, today, I let Ling Changwu follow you, just to let him learn from you." ”
"The danger on this battlefield, as well as your invincible, invincible, and invincible momentum, also let these younger generations learn from our Hou Ye, the majesty of the commander." The king also tried his best to appease the Hou Ye's emotions.
After all, this is an old minister of several dynasties, and he can hold hundreds of thousands of Fengming Kingdom's army in his hands, and the military power is also in his hands.
Hou Ye also nodded, and said softly, "Yes, the old minister is indeed old, of course, let these young people also experience it." Hou Ye did not express the displeasure in his heart, but still followed the king's wishes.
But he understands it more clearly than anyone else in his heart, and he also knows that a king is a king, and a minister is a minister, there is no righteousness and affection to say, and there is no friendship between life and death on the battlefield.
After all, he was just fighting the whole world for the Ling family.
"Father, I don't know if my son can go with my seventh brother." The second prince, Ling Huai, suddenly stepped forward and demanded strongly.
He was just afraid that Ling Changwu would encounter an accident on the way to the battle.
Wang Shang shook his head, "You have already made military achievements, and you will soon marry the young lady of the Prime Minister of Nangong's family, it is better for you not to go far, and your younger brother has moved out of the palace since he became an adult and set up another mansion by himself, and soon he will marry the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister of Nangong's family." ”
"If so, now that he has no military exploits, he is naturally not worthy of Miss Nangong." Wang Shang said with a smile on his face, and also glanced in the direction of Prime Minister Nangong.
It seems that he is also relieving the mood of Prime Minister Nangong, but where can Prime Minister Nangong look at Nangong Jin'an.
On the other side, Hou Ye glanced at Ling Changwu with a serious face, he looked at the man in front of him, there was a different momentum in his eyes, and the calmness on his body made people shudder.
"Today, without retreating from the court in advance, you will also go back and pack your luggage, tomorrow, we will be ready to go together, and the king will personally see you off, and I wish you a triumphant return." After the king finished speaking, he was supported by his father-in-law beside him and went down to court.
And the people above the court naturally dispersed, leaving only Ling Changwu, Ling Huai, Hou Ye, and the angry Prime Minister of Nangong.
Ling Changwu looked at Hou Ye, he stepped forward, folded his hands, bent down and said cordially, "Prince Heshuo Ling Changwu has seen Hou Ye. ”
"This little Wang, I have already heard of Hou Ye's prestige, and today, I have the honor to fight the tribe with Hou Ye. It is the three lives of this prince. ”
Hou Ye nodded, patted Ling Changwu's shoulder, and said softly, "Such a child, Ben Hou is already very happy to have this kind of insight and cognition. ”
Then, Hou Ye walked to the side of the Prime Minister of Nangong and said softly, "I don't care about the affairs of the court today, put away your useless appearance of a scholar, I haven't worried about my daughter's affairs, but I heard that Jin'an came back some time ago." ”
"Why, don't you go to my house to report. Or are you afraid that I will see Jin'an, let Jin'an tell me something, now my precious granddaughter has a chance in your house, I must make you look good. After speaking, Hou Ye shook his sleeves and left the scene angrily.
At this time, Prime Minister Nangong was happy, "The son-in-law sent his father-in-law away." Of course, Prime Minister Nangong's happiness is not groundless, as long as he sees Hou Ye's angry appearance, he is very happy.
Prime Minister Nangong turned to Ling Changwu and Ling Huai again, and said softly, "Second prince, it's better for us not to participate in a war like this, not to mention that what the king said is also right, soon you and Ruoruo will get married." Prime Minister Nangong looked happy.
Today, not only did it make Hou Ye suffocated, but also let Ling Changwu, who was the most uncomfortable looking at him, stay out of his sight.
Ling Huai didn't speak, he had always been most unaccustomed to being a person who only knew how to escape when he encountered things, and he didn't even understand why Prime Minister Nangong would sit in the position of prime minister.
"What the prime minister said is very true, but just now my father also promised me to marry Miss Nangong Yan, she will be a person from my Ling Changwu Mansion in the future, and she will naturally be blessed by my Ling Changwu Palace." Ling Changwu said with a serious face.
There is no need for everyone to say the meaning of these words clearly, everyone must know it.
"If you have to come back alive, you can hold a marriage."
