202 Enemy Invasion (and updates.)
In the end, it was a sister and brother who grew up together since childhood, and Xi Niang was able to say these words to Qi Hui, the big man smiled and blushed, and responded: "If you don't understand this, you don't deserve to be a father, and if you don't read anything else, when her belly grows, it's very hard to watch." ”
Xi Niang smiled: "I know you love her, but she loves you even more, you ......" She smiled and didn't finish her words, in the end, men and women don't want anything. After that, he remembered his own affairs, picked up the shawl and turned around and said, "I'm going to withdraw from the Closed Moon Pavilion, I'm picking new girls these days, you know that an Oiran is the pillar of a green building, and when I choose someone who can replace me, I'm leaving." It's easy for me to walk alone, but I scattered there, dozens of people have no livelihood, what will I do in the future. ”
Of course, Qi Hui was happy, and said busily: "My sister left the Closed Moon Pavilion and came to live at home." ”
Xi Niang waved her hand: "I have my own place to go, the days in the palace are so boring, I have already learned during the New Year." Xiangxiang can sit still and study, I can't sit still, in the future, she will take the child, I come to play every three or five days, and I should have a headache when I look at it every day. Even your children are noisy. ”
"What if it's my sister's own child?" Qi Hui asked.
"My, with whom am I going to give birth? Silly boy. Xi Niang felt a little cold, wrapped the shawl tighter, and said as if talking to herself, "I drink so many cold contraceptive pills every year, I definitely can't regenerate." ”
"Sister......
"Mu Qing's matter, you don't have to worry about me in the future, after a long time, I will let go of him, as long as you don't dislike me, I won't cut off contact with you, look up and don't look down to see each other in the future, can't you hide from each other for the rest of your life?" Xi Niang smiled bitterly, "When he gets married, he won't be entangled, it's best to leave this matter at that, don't make it known to everyone, you have a new sister-in-law in the future, you should hate me." ”
"Sister, I asked people to prepare hot pot because you like to eat, they don't talk about cousin anymore, come back and sit, it's cold outside." At this time, Xiangxiang came out of the door, seemingly knowing that she was pregnant, and now she was acting more carefully than before, Xi Niang was also busy catching up, and said with a smile, "I know that you still come out when it's cold, don't freeze my little nephew." ”
Xiangxiang smiled: "I don't even have a shadow yet, where can I freeze." She turned back to her husband and said, "Come quickly, what is the pestle doing there?" ”
But before the words fell, the subordinates hurriedly ran over, stood in the courtyard and said to Qi Hui: "Lord, there is an urgent move in the palace, please enter the court immediately." ”
Xiang Xiang stopped and frowned slightly, Qi Hui shouted what the guards were saying, and Xi Niang said in her ear: "That emperor is really troublesome." ”
But this time, it was not the emperor who deliberately called Qi Hui into the palace, Qi Hui had not changed his clothes, and the people of Pang Mansion also came to find Pang Shifeng, and then the people from the household department found Jian Mansion, and Jian Mansion found the palace again, and the three brothers were called away, until the family who sent the prince into the court rushed back to report the news, and everyone knew that there was an enemy invasion on the border, and the defenders had been severely damaged.
Facing the hot meal on the table for a while, the women lost their appetite, Xiangxiang was worried about her husband, Shen Yan was worried about Shifeng, and Mrs. Jian sent someone to ask what was wrong, so they simply gathered around Mrs. Jane.
In the court, the emperor looked indifferently at the civil and military officials below, since he ascended the throne, he has been secretly resisted by these stubborn ministers everywhere, people say that once the son of heaven is a courtier, but he has never been able to subvert the situation of the first emperor's reign, these ministers still control the power of the court, and he, the emperor, is less and less valued after several seemingly flamboyant but ineffective big moves. He began to resemble the first emperor in all aspects, with personality, temper, and treatment above this court.
Well, now the enemy has come in.
"The border defenders have always enjoyed the best military salaries in the imperial court, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, and every year there are new recruits sent to replenish the manpower, why was it defeated all of a sudden, and now the defenders have retreated ten miles to re-fortify, is it possible to retreat ten miles after defeating once, and retreat to this Jinluan Palace?" The emperor said coldly, "The mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles has always been our natural barrier, and they have never really penetrated into it, who will tell me which mountain has been hollowed out?" ”
The emperor's voice echoed in the Mingde Palace, these words were all said by Qi Hui to the emperor, and he mentioned them in his report on the garrison of the three armies. It was a good thing that the emperor could remember it, and saying it at this moment also made the retreat of the defenders seem suspicious. Qi Hui has probed the strength of the border army, it is easy to defeat the exhausted enemy who crosses the mountains and mountains, and he has not allowed them to cross the mountains all along, and every time he has blocked them on the way up the mountain, what is wrong this time, will let the enemy drive straight in?
"Your Majesty, the minister inquired that there was an enemy army of more than a dozen people sneaking into the capital, and he had wandered in front of Prince Shuo's mansion a few days ago, and I don't know if he had any dealings with Prince Shuo." Pang Jun suddenly said coldly, "Those dozen people can sneak into the capital, it can be seen that they have already successfully crossed the mountain range and broken through the defense, maybe it is not right to invade our dynasty today, that is, sneak in along their route and catch our army off guard." ”
There was a humane below: "If it weren't for the internal and external responses, how could you not find the traces of the enemy until the fight started, if the words of the prime minister are true, please also ask Prince Shuo to give an explanation." ”
This is something that the emperor didn't expect, Pang Jun suddenly pointed the finger at Qi Hui, at this time he listened blankly, and quickly flipped the pros and cons in his mind, if he stood in the wrong line this time, the rest of the life would not be easy, is it to unite Pang Jun to destroy Qi Hui, or to unite Qi Hui to destroy Pang Jun first?
Unexpectedly, Qi Hui smiled faintly and calmly responded: "Those dozen or so people are not enemy troops at all, they are still headed by a woman, she is the descendant of the princess's mother's family, the story of the Mu family must have been heard of by everyone, the mother's last wish is to find the descendants of the Mu family, and now it is the leaf to return to the roots." Huge man, do you want to go with this king and see that cousin? ”
Pang Jun was a little surprised that Qi Hui directly announced the existence of the Mu family.
Qi Hui clasped his fists upwards and said: "If the enemy comes to attack, although he will be punished from afar, he will be held accountable for his mistakes, but the expulsion of the invasion is the top priority." I also asked the emperor to send elite divisions to the border to support, and it was urgent to do so. ”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, which general do you recommend?" ”
Qi Hui took the lead and said: "The first emperor has been in power for decades, and the prime minister has assisted the first emperor in his literary and military affairs to ensure the long-term stability of the country. ”
When the emperor heard these words, he was a little happy, and secretly rejoiced that he was his sibling brother, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but spit in his heart, what sibling brothers, they are all wild seeds from nowhere.
But at this moment, Qi Hui put Pang Jun to death, he was happy, and immediately responded: "This matter will be handed over to the prime minister, give me an answer before sunset, and the supporting army will assemble and set off before dark, and it will not be delayed for a day." Let them taste the sweetness this time, and next time it will not be a problem that can be solved by going back ten miles. ”
Pang Jun didn't speak, and none of the people behind him and his sons came out to argue with Prince Shuo. In fact, they all understand that since Prince Shuo entered the court, he has always asked the emperor for and made suggestions in such a majestic manner, no matter who he faces difficulties and meanness, he can answer them fluently, and he relies on his upright spirit to overwhelm everything, so that all those who want to rebel against him feel that they will be spurned by the world.
This is the incomparably powerful momentum on his body, if he sits on the dragon chair in another position, this world will definitely change the day. At the same time, everyone was worried in their hearts, and they also pinched a sweat for the emperor on the dragon chair, maybe one day, Prince Shuo asked the emperor for the throne in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.
The courtiers dispersed, since Pang Jun was responsible, he had to hurriedly deploy what happened after that, he had been the prime minister for so many years, and no one dared to provoke him like this, even if he was a member of the royal family. He was accustomed to everyone's obedience, but he was forced to be speechless by Qi Hui, who had no intention of cultivating but had achieved the talent of saving the world.
Jian Feng was taken away by the Hubu Shangshu, as soon as the army asked for money, Lord Shangshu was eager to hang himself, Jian Feng could settle those accounts for him, and he couldn't let him go at this time. And Shi Feng had to leave with his father and brother, and glanced at him in a hurry, and there was a tacit understanding between siblings in that faint smile.
Qi Hui also rushed home, Pang Jun's words reminded her that Mu Yin claimed to have climbed mountains and waded through rivers to come here, and they all ignored one thing, since she was from abroad, how to sneak into the capital, that is to say, it is really very likely that those enemies who came to attack were following Mu Yin's road over the mountains.
He rushed home, and when he came to the courtyard where Mrs. Jian was, he heard Juan'er's scream, and he immediately broke in as soon as his heart was tight, but he saw Mu Yin brandishing a long sword and stabbing at Wei Meng, but the tall man was motionless and let her assassinate, Qi Hui was just about to make a move, but saw Mu Yin pick up the long sword, a long snake was thrown on the ground and twitched a few times, Mu Yin rushed forward and cut it into several pieces neatly, while Juan Er over there shouted: "Are you okay, are you poisoned?" ”
Qi Hui looked again, Xiangxiang and several people were standing well under the eaves, Xi Niang stopped in front of the door and didn't let them out, it should be a snake that came out of nowhere, Wei Meng was bitten when he went to catch it, Mu Yin waved his sword to save it, but Qi Hui misunderstood that it was Mu Yin who hurt people, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to tear Wei Meng's clothes first. But Mu Yin has already said: "This snake is not poisonous, haven't you all seen it?" ”
Juan Er was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, crying loudly, Wei Meng saw that she was not poisoned, so she dared to move, stepped forward to pick her up and said, "Don't cry, the snake is dead." ”
