Chapter III: Refusal

The coachman whipped his whip and set off, and in the carriage, Changqing looked at Rong Heng with a loveless expression, "Your Highness, wake up." ”

Rong Heng's eyelashes trembled, opened his eyes, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Give me a drink." ”

The prince who left the palace to open the palace could not suddenly enter the palace for no reason, but fortunately, he was highly poisonous and could vomit a mouthful of blood at any time.

Night falls.

The palace at night is a little less majestic than during the day, but a little more treacherous.

The evening breeze of late spring and early summer blew into the imperial study along the cloister, and in the imperial study, the emperor was excited, looking at the Pingyang Marquis standing in front of him, "So, your iron cavalry has been trained?" ”

Pingyang Hou nodded, "The courtier Su Qing is good at field training, with his help, the training that originally took three years was shortened to one year, and the effect was even better than the previous minister's estimate, three thousand iron cavalry, individual combat and collective attack, are very strong." ”

"How tough?" The emperor's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable hot light, and he was ready to go.

"Everyone can reach three-tenths of Su Qing's." Pingyang Hou said proudly.

The emperor got up with a sigh, "So powerful?" ”

After speaking, the emperor went around the book case, and his eyebrows flew excitedly, "Over the years, Nanliang has been riding on my head with an iron horse, and has endured many provocations, and now, I finally have my own iron horse!" The left hand clenched his fist and smashed it on the palm of his right hand, full of hesitation, "It's just one chance away." ”

Pingyang Hou smiled and said, "That, the minister has created an opportunity for His Majesty." ”

The emperor looked at the Marquis of Pingyang in confusion.

Pingyang Hou explained: "Just before the minister entered the palace, Su Qing went to the Broken Flower Building, and I heard that in front of the Broken Flower Building, the envoys of the Southern Liang were robbing people on the street. ”

When the emperor heard this, a strange look appeared on his face, and he looked at the Marquis of Pingyang, "You mean, Su Qing wants to have an unpleasant relationship with the envoys of Southern Liang?" ”

Su Qing is a good hand at fighting, but he is perverse, and when he sees the envoys of Nanliang robbing people on the street, he will definitely come forward.

The envoys of the Southern Liang have always been domineering again.

They made an unpleasant scene, and the scene should be relatively large......

As he was talking, a small chamberlain outside replied, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Nanliang asks to see you." ”

The emperor frowned and glanced at the Marquis of Pingyang, and sat back behind the bookcase, "Biography." ”

After the words fell, the envoy of Nanliang limped and walked in with a blue nose and swollen face, "Your Majesty is the minister in charge!" ”

As he spoke, the emperor saw that he was missing one of his front teeth, which was a little leaky.

Rao had a certain amount of psychological preparation before, and when he saw his miserable appearance, the emperor was still taken aback, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Seeing that the Marquis of Pingyang was also there, the envoy of the Southern Liang said arrogantly: "Su Qing, the son of the Marquis of Pingyang, regardless of my identity as the envoy of the Southern Liang, just quarreled with me on the street, and killed me." ”

Pingyang Hou looked surprised, "You are like this, my son beat you?" ”

The envoy of Nanliang looked at the Marquis of Pingyang and said angrily: "Of course, Su Qing is notorious, I will never recognize the wrong person, when he killed me, many people saw it, this matter, you can't rely on it, I am the envoy of Nanliang, and if you beat me, you will slap Nanliang in the face!" If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, we Nanliang will never give up! ”

Pingyang Hou frowned, his face still full of disbelief, "Didn't you have two top masters of Nanliang as guards?" My son beats you, will they stay out of it? Or can't the two of them beat my son alone? ”

This is a bit poignant.

It's not just that it can't be beaten, it's not fought at all.

If the envoys of Southern Liang tell the truth, they will destroy their own prestige and increase the morale of others.

If you don't tell the truth...... That is, his subordinates were indifferent to seeing him beaten?

"You don't care about him!" After the words fell, the envoy of Nanliang looked at the emperor, with a forced look in his eyes, "When the minister enters the palace today, he is begging His Majesty to give an explanation, otherwise, the minister will not be able to explain to the Nanliang court and the people of Nanliang!" ”

With a strong iron horse, the emperor now has a very hard waist.

"I can't listen to you, you came to our court this time, with the top masters of Nanliang, this is well known, I really can't imagine how Su Qing beat you like this in front of your two masters, you go back first, and when I find out, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."

It is a reasonable explanation, not a satisfactory explanation.

The envoy of Nanliang was suddenly surprised.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has always dared not form a relationship with Nanliang, and he treats the envoys with great respect, so how can he put up a shelf today.

After thinking about it, the envoy of Nanliang decided that he did not put the threatening words in place.

So he endured the pain and said fiercely: "If Your Majesty can't give the minister a satisfactory explanation, the minister will return to the court and let me ask 100,000 iron horsemen from Nanliang to help the minister ask for an explanation." ”

It's a pity that his front teeth are leaking, and his fierce face is really a bit funny.

"Okay, then this matter is decided, if you are not satisfied with the results I give you, let you come with 100,000 iron horses from Nanliang." The emperor looked at the black incisors of the envoy and said with a smile.

The envoy felt a little suffocation in his chest.

Is this emperor braining to squeeze the door?

The fox glanced at the emperor suspiciously, and the envoy threw up his sleeves and left angrily.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Pingyang Hou smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that Qing'er's martial arts have grown again!" Your Majesty, now there is a fair and honest reason, as long as his conditions are not met, Nanliang will definitely be overwhelmed by a large army. ”

The emperor nodded, "The grain, grass and military salaries are all ready-made, this time, I am waiting for you to win!" ”

Pingyang Hou hugged his fists and said: "The minister must live up to his mission." ”

After a pause, the Marquis of Pingyang looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this expedition, the minister has an army of 200,000, only 100,000 can be taken away, and the remaining 100,000, the minister wants to stay in Kyoto and let Su Qing continue training." ”

Although Su Qing was not in tune, he led the troops to fight, just like the Marquis of Pingyang, they were all a must, and the emperor had no objection and agreed.

But just agreed, and then a question came to mind.

Su Qing is the son of the Pingyang Marquis, although he has a lot of military achievements, only because he is still young, and has no position in the army, this time the Pingyang Marquis led the troops to the expedition, Su Qing stayed to train the soldiers, and the people in the army recognized Su Qing, but it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous people who take the opportunity to make trouble.

I have to give Su Qing a real job.

The actual job of training 100,000 troops must be a major general, to say the least.

Thoughts flashed, and the emperor said to the Marquis of Pingyang: "Aiqing can rest assured that he will go on the expedition, tomorrow morning, I will reward Su Qing as a major general, and when you return triumphantly, I will give my Princess Yunxia to Su Qing in marriage." ”

Since ancient times, those who hold military power have to marry the royal family, so the military power can be regarded as royal.

When the Marquis of Pingyang heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he knelt down, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare!" ”

The emperor's face also looked ugly, "What, are you dissatisfied with the position of major general or dissatisfied with my marriage!" Yunxia is my princess! ”

I haven't disliked your son for visiting the kiln and the gambling house, but you don't like it?
