Chapter 402: Checks and Balances
It was an old eunuch who carried the message.
After the eunuch entered the hall, he first saluted Jin Ling and Qi Huan respectively.
"The old slave came to announce the decree on the order of the Empress Dowager, and asked the three of them to kneel down and listen to the decree."
Jin Ling and Qi Huan didn't agree yet, so Mrs. Liu knelt on the couch.
Qi Huan held Jin Ling's hand and slowly knelt down.
The old eunuch cleared his throat and preached: "The recovery of Great Xia, the eldest princess Xia Jiu'er, Qi King Qi Huan, and Qi State Taifu Liu Tao have made great contributions. However, Great Xia has just been recovered, there are Turkic invasions outside, there are unresolved military rebellions inside, and there are even more ruins waiting to be rebuilt at home. The new monarch is young, and he still relies on the eldest princess and the king of Qi to assist him. For this reason, the mourning family intended to bring the soldiers of Qi, Lu, and Chu under the command of Qi Huan, the king of Qi, and made him the general of the protector of the country, and Taifu Liu Tao was appointed as the deputy general to assist the king of Qi in the whole army. In addition, the troops of Liang and Wu and several other countries were brought under the command of Liang Guangzhen and were named the general of Xingguo, and the edict was conveyed at the same time. I hope you will work together to bless the peace of the world. ”
After the old eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he handed the holy decree to Qi Huan, "Congratulations to King Qi, now there are three soldiers and horses, and King Qi is the strongest." ”
Qi Huan looked at the holy decree and did not accept it.
Perhaps seeing that Qi Huan was injured in one hand and holding Jin Ling in the other, the old eunuch handed the holy decree to Jin Ling again, "If King Qi is injured, there will be Princess Lao." ”
Jin Ling didn't accept the holy decree, but pulled Qi Huan to get up slowly: "Is this what my grandmother means alone, or is it the result of her discussion with the emperor?"
The old eunuch hurriedly smiled and said: "The meaning of the empress dowager is the meaning of the emperor, the emperor is the most benevolent and filial, and the troop transfer talisman will come soon." The Empress Dowager has also issued an edict to the King of Chu and the King of Lu, asking them to hand over the military power to His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”
"Your Royal Highness! Take it. Mrs. Liu said hurriedly, "The Empress Dowager is so trusted, how can you disappoint her." ”
Jin Ling stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, no matter what, he can always take the initiative with the military power in his hands.
"The will of the old slave has been conveyed, the old slave has to go back to give the queen mother a life, don't dare to delay, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess take care."
The old eunuch walked away, and Mrs. Liu sat on the bed and stretched out her hand to Jin Ling with an excited face: "Her Royal Highness the princess can let the old minister take a look?" ”
Liu Taifu didn't know that the imperial court wanted to take back the prefectures and counties and soldiers and horses before. Now that a holy decree has given the troops of Lu and Chu to Qi, Taifu Liu is naturally happy.
Jin Ling sighed helplessly and handed the holy decree to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly unfolded it, read it word by word, and then took a breath and said, "That eunuch just said that there are three ways of soldiers and horses? We go all the way, King Liang all the way, and the rest of the way is Yingtian...... Lao Chen understood! ”
Mrs. Liu suddenly looked angry again: "It must be that Lufu!" He held the prince hostage and seized the military power. Niangniang is afraid that he will rebel! ”
"Isn't it obvious enough!" Qi Huan said with a smile, "One moment you have to withdraw the soldiers and horses, and the next moment you have added so many more soldiers and horses." Niangniang is also messing up this time. ”
"What take back the soldiers and horses?" Mrs. Liu was very keen to grasp the news in Qi Huan's words that he didn't know. "What else are you hiding from the minister?"
Jin Ling sighed and told the last edict completely.
After listening, Mrs. Liu didn't move for a long time, and finally sighed for a long time: "So, the country of Qi is gone......"
As he spoke, Mrs. Liu looked at Qi Huan with red eyes and said, "Fortunately, your father went in time, otherwise he would be so sad." Lu Ziying, this liar! ”
Mrs. Liu bit for a long time to calm down her anger, and then sighed a long time: "Fortunately, Niangniang is wise, and the soldiers are divided into three ways to contain each other, so that they can be balanced." Lu Ziying just has that thief's heart, but I'm afraid that it will be disappointed. ”
"Taifu!" Qi Huan stretched out his hand and patted Mrs. Liu's shoulder: "In this way, the matter of the whole army will be handed over to you, the deputy general." It is not suitable to work alone and injured. Please, that, tip-off, secret report or something, you should continue to read it. It's not early, so I'll leave first. ”
Hearing that he could receive the secret report, Mrs. Liu instantly came to his senses: "Go, go, go!" The old minister can still resist. ”
Coming out of Mrs. Liu's place, Jin Ling smiled: "You are a shopkeeper who is slippery!" Do you feel at ease? ”
"Those who can work hard!" Qi Huan smiled, "You haven't seen Lord Taifu haggard these days. As soon as I heard that there was something to do, I was more than a decade younger in an instant. ”
Jin Ling sighed: "You are really blessed to have such a hard-working old minister!" ”
"It's us!" Qi Huan took Jin Ling's hand and walked towards the garden, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet my young sister next door." You can also be contaminated with some fireworks in the world. ”
"Sister next door?" Jin Ling's voice couldn't help but rise, "You took all your sisters next door into the palace?" ”
Looking at Jin Ling's expression, Qi Huan was suddenly happy: "Yes! She was a master of bone grafting, and she gave me this arm at the time. She said that she promised that there would be no sequelae. ”
"The wound she treated you?" Jin Ling even stopped, "She followed you all the way?" ”
Qi Huan is the parent who went to his hometown to be buried, and he was also injured over there. It's been almost two months. He hadn't even told her about it. Sister next door! Hearing this title makes Ran think about it.
"Hmm!" Qi Huan continued to laugh, "That's right! Then I took her to the palace and stayed there. ”
No way.
She and Qi Huan are not married, did he start to take in the harem?
Seeing that Jin Ling's face changed, Qi Huan hurriedly smiled: "Not only her, but also her husband and children have been brought here." To be exact, it was received from Linzi, and it happened that the splint needed to be changed today, and their family entered the palace. She's been nagging to see you for a long time. I'll have to satisfy her. ”
It was different if the husband and the child were picked up together.
"She is a year younger than me, and she chased me when I was a child, but now that I see her, I still want her to treat my injuries. I lied to her at first, I was just a businessman. She also scolded me, and scolded her for treating her injuries as soon as I met. When she came to Linzi and knew that I was the king of Qi, she first didn't believe it, then she was afraid, and then she was ecstatic. She said that with a brother next door like me who is the king. Not only is she not worried in this life, but even her children and grandchildren are not worried. Her child had just left, so I arranged for ......."
Looking at the look on Qi Huan's face, Jin Ling couldn't help but smile.
She's really getting more and more troubled by gains and losses.
Originally, she planned to be an episode with Qi Huan, she was still doing her business and making her money, but now she is focusing on Qi Huan. Everything revolves around him. That's not good.
"What's wrong?" Qi Huan squeezed Jin Ling's hand, "What do you want?" Rest assured, we won't have children that early. This kid is really worrying. ”
Jin Ling smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, let's go, I think the child is very cute......" It doesn't seem right to say this, it seems that she wants the child very much, Jin Ling hurriedly changed her words again, "Other people's children look very cute." ”
"Don't be envious!" Qi Huan smiled, "The child will have it in the future." Let's go see the other kids. ”
