Chapter 66: A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power...... It's weird
The process of ascending to the top was quite smooth, and there was not much resistance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although there are still various speculations about the cause of the Daimyo's death, Bai Qi's identity as the eldest son of the Daimyo is true, and the edict of his accession to the throne is also genuine, who can say anything?
Even Haruka Shenyue, who is the eldest princess and enjoys a good reputation in Kyoto, fully supports Bai Qi's ascension, who else will stand in the way without knowing whether to live or die?
"Pray, open your mouth, ah~~~"
In the palatial palace, Shenyue Yao held a spoon and fed hot chicken soup to Bai Qi's mouth.
She has the same long golden hair and dark green eyes as Bai Qi, as well as a flawless little face, if she is not dressed in a very gorgeous princess kimono, I am afraid that no one can distinguish her from Bai Qi in the first meeting, right?
As Bai Qi's twin sister in this life, although it was only three months, he felt that he should have seen the temperament of the person in front of him more clearly.
Dignified, elegant, has an extremely good image in front of people, and is unusually pet in private. Loves Bai Qi who is her younger brother.,Love to feed Bai Qi.,If it's rejected, it's cute and coquettish.,Although you're a member of the royal family.,But in fact, there's a bit of natural simplicity.,It's really rare.。
In order to avoid Shenyue Yao from spilling, Bai Qi had to reluctantly drink the whole bowl of chicken soup, and then when Shenyue Yao tried to serve the second bowl, he spoke:
"The Emperor... Sister, I made an appointment with the ministers to discuss government affairs, and the time is a little tight, so let's drink it next time, okay? ”
"Alas~~ How can this be?"
Shenyue Yao pouted dissatisfiedly, but he didn't stop Bai Qi after all, he just came to him by himself, and then helped him tidy up the corners of his clothes little by little.
"Okay, that's perfect, don't work too hard, pray!"
Facing Shenyue Yao's bright smile, Bai Qi had to nod indifferently.
Walking out of the door, he wiped the sweat from his head and smiled bitterly.
Coming to this world, the most troublesome thing for Bai Qi is not the power of holy light that is sealed in his body and difficult to mobilize, nor this still weak body, not the disgusting daimyo, but the seemingly most harmless Shenyue Haruka.
Because, Bai Qi has never had a sister, let alone felt the love of such pure and warm elders.
It's not enough to be at a loss, but when facing Shen Yueyao, Bai Qi is a little cramped after all, and he doesn't know how to respond to this love.
It's just that no one noticed that at the moment when Bai Qi walked out of the palace, Shenyue looked at the chicken soup left on the table, and there was nothing in his lowered eyes......
This aspect of the matter is not expressed for the time being, when Bai Qi is distracted, people have unconsciously reached their destination.
Minister Zuo, the head of military affairs, enjoys the title of general, and has a strength of more than 100,000 troops, almost three-quarters of all the armies in the entire Fire Country. Although it is said that he was born into a military family, in fact, the family has not been on the battlefield since his father's generation, and the armor that the family regarded as an heirloom has now become a real ornamental object, and it has not been used for a long time. is self-serving, poor and extravagant, brutal and unkind, second only to the ancestors in the degree of scum.
The right minister, the chief of government, is also a representative of the aristocratic forces, but he is weaker than the left minister who is in charge of the military power, and he is also a drunken and dreamy wasteman, and the previous daimyo, who has the same stink as the previous daimyo, climbed to this position by paying tribute to beauties and luxury goods.
Overall, neither is a good bird.
Bai Qi walked into the room by himself and sat straight on the main seat.
"Humph!"
The gesture of no one beside made Minister Zuo snort dissatisfiedly, that is, the daimyo of the previous generation was in fashion and wanted to give him three points of courtesy, and Bai Qi's behavior was undoubtedly despising his majesty.
But after all, Bai Qi is the current daimyo, and Minister Zuo just snorted, if he does anything more, he himself knows that he will not be able to get out of the daimyo's mansion.
Bai Qi didn't want to talk nonsense with the two, so he lifted the wine jug and poured himself and Minister Zuo a glass of wine respectively.
"Minister Zuo, I have heard for a long time that although you are from a military honor, you are brilliant and well-read, I wonder if you have heard of an allusion called 'A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power'?"
Minister Zuo was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”
Bai Qi smiled when he heard this, just like a begonia in full bloom, dazzling.
"Then let me explain it to you. It is a story that takes place in a distant and ancient kingdom, where the king is incompetent and incompetent, but there is a general who has a great military record and a million soldiers.
The great general was invincible and invincible, and after another great victory, his men felt that their general was much stronger and more reliable than their king, so they put on his royal robes and encouraged him to usurp the throne and establish himself as king.
The general became the new king. After becoming the king, the general worked hard, and the country was indeed recuperated and gradually became stronger.
But the king had a heart disease, and the few people who supported him on the throne later became generals and had strong troops, just like him at the beginning.
So the king began to fear, fearing that one day, one of them, with the support of his subordinates, would rebel against him and replace him as the new king.
So the king summoned the generals, drank with them, and then raised the issue at the banquet and persuaded them to lay down their military powers, accept rich rewards, and live out their old age in peace.
The generals drank their wine and surrendered their military power with great convincingness, and the king rested at ease. This is the story of 'a glass of wine releases military power'. ”
When Minister Zuo heard the end, his face was already gloomy as water.
"So, is the Daimyo going to emulate the king and make me drink this glass of wine and then lay down his military power?"
"Yes, yes, I want to emulate the 'glass of wine to release military power'...... It's weird! ”
Bai Qi stuck out his tongue and grimaced at Minister Zuo, and then a black light flashed in his wide sleeves.
"Huh!"
The knife fell, and another round head rolled to the ground. Hey, why do I say "again"?
Bai Qi wiped the blood that splashed on his face, then picked up his wine glass and drank all the two glasses of wine he had poured.
"Where are the Guardian Ninja Twelve?"
Twelve figures appeared in the room, and Bai Qi beckoned to one of them.
"And horses, come here."
"Yes!"
A middle-aged ninja named Kazuma with a somewhat gloomy temperament stepped forward.
"Reach out."
“…… Be! ”
Although he hesitated for a moment, Kazuma obediently stretched out his right hand.
Bai Qi then smiled, put the dagger stained with the blood of Minister Zuo in his hand into his hand, and then said:
"Minister Zuo bullied the orphan at a young age, intended to rebel, brought a dagger to the audience, waited for the opportunity to assassinate, fortunately the guardian Ren and the horse rescued him, and the orphan was able to save his life, I am really grateful."
“…… This is the duty of the following, so please don't take it to heart. Although Hema was flustered for a while, he quickly reacted to Bai Qi's plan, so he took the credit.
"Lone likes smart people." Bai Qi said, the smile on his face did not decrease: "How can you not repay the grace of saving your life?" Lone has now officially appointed you as the head of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, so please continue to serve Lone wholeheartedly in the future! ”
"Thank you for the importance of the daimyo, and you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire."
"You don't have to go to the soup, there is a task for you right now."
Bai Qi said, grabbed the head of the left minister on the ground, and brought it to the front of Hema.
"Minister Zuo intends to rebel, I'm afraid there are other back-ups, you take his head, take my soldier to lead the troops to surround the entire general's mansion, raid the house, hand over the property to the treasury, the prime of life men are put into labor, the elderly, children and women are driven out of Kyoto, but there are those who resist, don't count as killing."
"Yes!"
Kazuma said solemnly, took the head and the talisman, and left without looking back, leaving the other guardian ninjas with a bewildered face.
'What's the matter, this is the head? 'Presumably these people are like this Spartan in their hearts at this moment, right?'
"What are you doing around, disturbing me and the right minister to drink, it's all gone!"
Bai Qi waved his hand, as if to repel mosquitoes.
Under Bai Qi's disgusted gaze, the guardian ninjas left depressedly.
Then, Bai Qi walked up to the right minister with a smile, grabbed the wine jug again, and poured a glass of wine for each of them.
"Plop!"
The right minister suddenly knelt on the ground and said profusely: "Daimyo, the minister is absolutely loyal to you, the sky can be seen, please see the daimyo!" ”
Bai Qi stretched out his hand and put it on the right minister's shoulder, making the right minister tremble suddenly.
