Chapter 158: Kneel in the rain
Seeing that the carriage was calmed down, Xiaokui quickly jumped out of the carriage and opened the umbrella, she didn't want to run behind the young lady with the umbrella all the time, she had to strike first.
But I didn't expect this umbrella to just open, probably because the rain was too big and too fierce, and it actually smashed her oil-paper umbrella.
Aoi's heart: ??????
Qu Huashang didn't care about it at all, no matter where Xiaokui was because of the tangled mood of the three of them, she jumped out of the carriage and lifted her skirt, and walked quickly to the guard's side.
The person who looked at the guards was Qu Huasheng, the eldest lady of the Qu family, and it must have been something important to come over in such a rainy weather, one let Qu Huashang pass, and the other was to lead Qu Huashang on the way.
But today's rain is real, Daqu Huashang is walking forward, and he can also feel the rain hitting people's faces, like a hot slap.
But she can't take care of so much, she is just suffering from such a heavy rain at this moment, and Yuwen Tuo is unconscious from being injured by the enemy over there.
Because someone reported it, the emperor already knew the news that Qu Huashang asked to see him before Qu Huashang came.
Seeing Qu Huayi, who was wet and dressed in a wet dress, walked into his study, the emperor was slightly disgusted.
This woman is inevitably too free and easy, some of them can't even use an umbrella in such a rainy weather, and they make themselves so embarrassed, what kind of official lady is this, it's completely like a girl in the countryside.
However, thinking that it was the daughter of General Qu, a person who had been in the army since he was a child, the emperor was also relieved.
"I don't know what kind of thing Miss Qu is coming to me on a rainy day and is in a hurry to ask to see me?"
The emperor went straight to the point, and Qu Huashang naturally did not ink at all.
"I heard that Yuwen Tuo was injured over there, and now he is still unconscious."
"Whether it's for Yuwen Tuo or for my brother, or for the entire Dayun Kingdom, the emperor should always send out a new general to replace him, even if Yuwen Tuo wakes up, with his mental state, there is no way to command the army anymore, even if his ability is superb, but now that his body is injured like that, he should recuperate."
"That makes sense, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" The emperor nodded, the green beard was unheard, he was also thinking about this matter just now, and now he was suddenly injured, but he can't be without generals on the battlefield for a day, so he is still thinking about who should replace Tuo'er's position.
However, the emperor didn't expect that after Qu Huashang heard his question, he knelt down in a wet skirt.
It's a great gift.
"What are you...?" Before the emperor's words came out, Qu Huashang had already answered.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have the courage to recommend themselves, and now the courtiers think that there is no more suitable candidate for a general than the courtiers in Dayun China, and the enemy has killed my brother, injured my lover, and even invaded my country, this revenge must be avenged by my own hands to relieve my anger."
After listening to Qu Huasheng's words, the emperor didn't think about it, so he refused.
"So you are indeed a powerful person, but a woman has never been able to be called a general, and you should know this."
"Women are too emotional, although you have the strength of the body, but you will inevitably be swayed by feelings, I think the reason why you will recommend yourself to become this general, more because you want revenge, is carried away by hatred, if she lets someone like you go, it is not necessarily a good thing, and you have never had the experience of leading 2 million troops to fight alone, it's not that you don't agree to let you go, but I really can't believe you, and there has never been a precedent for a woman in command in Dayun Country."
The emperor was quite patient, and patiently explained why he didn't agree.
"If you really have the heart, then think about who is the most suitable candidate, stop trying to recommend yourself to come up, now you are in a state of resentment, so the emotions are inevitably a little excited, I want to be eager to recognize the enemy, I understand your feelings, but such impulsiveness is not feasible."
"I'm not impulsive." Qu Huasheng's expression was extremely calm, "This matter is something I have been thinking about for a long time, these days, I have been chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha in the temple all day long, thinking about it every day, what is what I should be doing now, now I finally think about it, I also want to be comfortable here all day long, and I am afraid all day long, it is not a rational performance, what I should do is to use my talents where they are needed, I am a woman with a talent for generals, I should be used, on the battlefield, When the country is in danger, you should stand up for me. ”
"What you said is very reasonable and inspiring, but this kind of thing is really unprecedented for a woman to be handsome and a woman to be in charge, I can't agree with it, and the ancestors of the Great Cloud Kingdom can't agree either."
"Let's go."
After the emperor finished speaking, he only left Qu Huashang with an indifferent back.
"Your Majesty..."
Qu Huashang wanted to tell the emperor to try to change his mind, but the old eunuch next to the emperor was already looking at him with a smile.
"Miss, the emperor is tired, now is the time to rest, please move and leave here."
Qu Huashang had no choice but to walk towards the door, but Xiaokui, who originally thought that Miss was like this and was willing to adjourn the court, did not expect that Miss would walk into the heavy rain and kneel in front of the door of the study.
"Your Majesty, I will prove it to you, I am definitely not impulsive, but sincerely for the sake of the Great Cloud Country, and I sincerely do not want the enemy army to invade our Great Cloud Country, please, please give me this opportunity, I will definitely prove it to you."
Looking at her eldest lady kneeling in front of the study, Xiaokui was a little overwhelmed, and then she was stunned, and knelt beside the young lady.
"Your Majesty, Miss is measured in everything she does, and now he naturally brings up such a thing, he is definitely not messing around, please ask the emperor to take a look at our Miss, listen to our Miss's opinion, give our Miss a chance, give our Miss a chance!"
looked at Xiao Kui Qu Huashang who was kneeling beside him and glared at her.
"Go back, Xiaokui doesn't have to suffer here with me."
"This kind of thing is brought up by me alone, and I will bear it alone, Xiao Kun, your injuries are not completely healed, don't kneel with me here, otherwise, your knees will hurt from kneeling, and you will also get cold, which will be very bad for your injuries."
Looking at her own young lady, although she was talking to herself in a blunt tone, and she was also walking towards yourself, but in fact she was all concerned about herself, Xiao Kui shook her head persistently.
"Xiao Kui is not going anywhere, as long as Miss wants Xiao Kui, she will definitely follow Miss to help Miss."
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded to leave, Xiao Kui Qu Huashang could only give up, still kneeling there, her upper body was straight, drop after drop of jade smashed down, smashed on his head, and dripped into his eyes, whether it was an important test for people psychologically or physically, but Qu Huashang seemed to be completely unaware of the scene around her, and was still persistently kneeling there.
"Are the two of them gone?" The emperor listened to the sound outside becoming quieter, so he asked the little eunuch beside him.
The little eunuch looked through the crack in the paper window, and at a glance, the two people were still in the rain.
"No, those two actually knelt up, look at this look, the emperor doesn't agree, they really can't afford to kneel for a long time."
"That's it, let them kneel, I guess these eldest ladies will leave when they feel tired on their knees."
Although the emperor said so, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, after all, how could someone from the Qu family be a casual official lady?
The thought of two men kneeling outside in the wind and rain, waiting for his answer, made him feel very irritable, and in order to relieve the irritability in his heart, he beckoned the little eunuch over.
"Don't look at those two people there, go out to the imperial dining room and let them prepare dinner, I see it's almost time."
"Deller."
The little eunuch received the order, and went out in a hurry, and when he went out, he saw Qu Huashang and Xiao Kui, those two people had been beaten by the wind and rain, and the headdresses on their heads had been knocked off, and their hair was scattered aside, how embarrassed and embarrassed they were, but those two people still had straight backs, kneeling there straight like Yang Song.
He sighed and quickly turned to leave.
After the little eunuch left, the emperor thought about it and walked to the place where the little eunuch was standing just now, which was just right here, and he could see the situation outside, but the people outside couldn't see inside.
I don't know why, the rain was even heavier than just now, and the lightning and thunder in the air seemed to be wailing.
It had been decades since the Great Cloud Kingdom was in his hands, and this was the first time he had seen such a heavy rain, even if it had never accumulated water, his garden was now flooded.
The two cupboards were clearly visible, and their knees were all soaked in water.
Kneeling is sad enough, let alone kneeling in such a downpour, and the legs below the knee are still soaked in cold water.
Just thinking about it, the emperor felt that Qu Huashang kneeling outside was really courageous, and even felt a little unbearable.
If it were him, he might not be able to stay there on his knees for so long, but Qu Huashang was...
