Chapter 100: The military election is postponed
Obviously, Duan Jingqi had just arrived, and when Emperor Duan was talking, he heard that Duan Jingxun was also here, so he became even more angry.
He sat behind the screen and his voice was irritable, "Didn't you say that you were okay and didn't let you enter the palace?" I can't say anything about it, I have to go to this Heart Nourishing Temple to meet me! ”
Duan Jingxun took the lead in speaking, "Erchen is here for the military election, now that the first test has passed, it is the time when the confidence of the soldiers is high, we should continue the second test according to the previous process, and the fourth brother is bothered to relieve the disaster in Seoul, we need to complete the autumn election when the imperial city is safe and sound, so as to live up to the hard work of the fourth brother, and ask my father to order the second test to prepare as soon as possible." ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Emperor Duan to speak, and saw Duan Jingqi immediately salute respectfully.
He folded his hands and raised his head, "Father, the son is also here for this matter!" ”
Before the words fell, Duan Jingxun instantly cast a surprised look, he thought that Duan Jingqi might come forward to stop him, but that was the worst plan after the matter was revealed, why did he directly stand on such a clear position without a little wind and grass now?
Emperor Duan was also curious after hearing this, "Oh? You have always been in charge of Longdu's financial affairs, how can you think of meddling in the matter of military selection? ”
"Father and Emperor Mingjian, the son is not meddling in the military, but after going back yesterday to understand what is happening at the moment, he came to dare to give advice to his father."
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Duan Jingqi straightened his posture, "Erchen thinks that the matter of the military election should be postponed indefinitely, and it can not continue until the epidemic is over. ”
"Duan Jingqi, what do you mean!" Duan Jingxun immediately glared, "I don't know when this epidemic will be completely over, you have to postpone it indefinitely, what if the imperial city is also infected?" You've got your heart on making it unavailable to the army! ”
"Jingxun!" Emperor Duan's tone was angry.
Duan Jingxun immediately realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly explained in a panic, "Erchen is confused by Jing Qi's anger, how can the imperial city be infected with the epidemic when there is a father and the emperor and the son of heaven guarding it, and our army must be invincible with talents!" ”
Looking at Duan Jingxun's cold sweat, Duan Jingqi smiled sarcastically and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to rush to compete, now is the critical moment of the epidemic, if the people in the army are unfortunately infected because of the military election, wouldn't it be because of a small loss?" ”
Emperor Duan behind the screen frowned.
Duan Jingqi continued, "This is one of them, and the other is that I heard that the Fourth Emperor Brother went out to fight with 20,000 elites, if it is decided now, it may not be too unfair to these people, since they are willing to go to the epidemic area, they are defending the country, but we directly except that their qualifications for the election are not spread out and it is chilling." ”
"That's right," Emperor Duan's deep voice said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. ”
Seeing Emperor Duan wavering, Duan Jingxun couldn't help but panic, "Father, most of those 20,000 people are Jing Yi's former personal followers, and most of those who have made meritorious contributions to the battle with him have been awarded official ranks, and they will definitely not stoop to participate in the military election again......"
"Then there are a few loyal and brave people who have no official rank, it's one thing for them to come or not, it's another thing for us to wait or not, the people see the royal justice, if it is really as the second emperor brother said, wouldn't it be criticized by the people of the world!"
"Presumptuous!" Duan Jingxun was annoyed and ashamed, "I read that you have made meritorious contributions to disaster relief to endure you everywhere, you must not forget the respect of the elders and the young just because you have merit!" ”
Duan Jingqi stepped forward and saluted the screen, "Father and Emperor Mingjian's words are all for the sake of the royal family's face, and he doesn't want to go against the meaning of disobedience. ”
"Hahaha," Emperor Duan's low laughter came from behind the screen, and Duan Jingqi's hanging heart was put back in his stomach, "Okay, Jingqi, going out to practice a circle has really made great progress." ”
"Father's ......"
Emperor Duan stopped Duan Jingxun's words, "There is no need to say any more, I have already had the intention of stopping the election, it just so happens that both of you are in the province to go to your mansion to announce the decree, I have decided to postpone the military election until Jing Yi comes back and the epidemic is over and then reopen the election, and then I will call someone to draft the decree, and you can step down if you have nothing to do." ”
Duan Jingxun hesitated and opened his mouth without giving up, but saw Duan Jingqi simply bid farewell to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Gonggong Su walked out from behind the screen, and stretched out his hand to invite while persuading in a low voice, "Lord Wang, go back, the warriors can't run away there, why bother to annoy Your Majesty." ”
Duan Jingxun was unwilling to overdo it, and finally went out, he went outside three or two steps to catch up with Duan Jingqi and stop people in front of him.
"Second Emperor Brother is still looking for me?"
His eyes were filled with anger, "Sixth brother, don't ask knowingly!" You have nothing to do with the matter of the military election in Longdu, so why bother to wade into this troubled water, you have hated Jing Yi for many years, how can you speak to him today," Duan Jingxun lowered his voice, "Have you forgotten his cold-blooded ruthlessness when he took away the former queen from your mansion?" That's his biological mother! ”
Duan Jingqi pretended not to know why, "I'm here to share my father's worries, what are you doing to others?" Second Emperor Brother, are you in such a hurry, isn't there any ulterior secret in the martial arts? ”
"You!"
Without waiting for Duan Jingxun to attack, Duan Jingqi reflexively walked away, until he walked to the place where there was no one at the palace gate, he secretly clenched his fists, he looked up at the clear blue sky, his eyes were firm and abnormal, although he didn't know what the situation of the epidemic in Seoul was, but he didn't lose this battle in the imperial city!
The night in Seoul was as cool as usual, even if it was already winter, he didn't feel the cold at all, if he hadn't seen several corpses lying on the ground with terrible deaths, Gao Nan would never have trembled like this.
Xu Yu approached with a smile and threw a bag of things into the cage.
"Look, this is a gift they brought you, if this trick succeeds, you will be the one who dies."
Gao Nan opened the cloth bag in shock, which contained not only the equipment for setting fire but also a small package of explosives, which was enough for him to die more than three times.
Xu Yu sighed and spoke, "They also worked hard to kill you, how about you now, do you want to speak?" ”
"I say I say! I'll say everything! Gao Nan's dirty hands clenched the railing, and there were only two eye-catching eyes on a dirty face.
Xu Yu gave the person behind him a look, "It's rare that the left school guard is in a good mood, why don't you hurry up and take a note on paper?" ”
Gao Nan swallowed his saliva hard, "When Lin Meng and I wrote letters, he never left his own handwriting, he said that he would write it down by his cronies around him, and he never left his name when he finally made the payment." ”
"What's the cronie's name?"
"Wang Sai, serving as the left guard in the Yongsheng Army, has the same position as my army."
"Go on."
