Chapter 493: Losing Three Battles in a Row!
"This ...... Isn't there something wrong? Tang Xinyi is a woman after all, and since ancient times, there seems to be no precedent for a woman to be a marquis. Bai Zhenshan coughed and decided to struggle a little more.
"Not bad! Since the establishment of my Qingyun Empire, there is indeed no precedent for a woman to be a marquis, but in the same way, our Qingyun Empire has no precedent for a woman to be the emperor! Xu Wenchuan seemed to have expected Bai Zhenshan to say this, and said unhurriedly.
But as soon as Xu Wenchuan's words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were immediately silent, and all of them showed surprise. Bai Zhenshan's complexion changed even more in an instant, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable anger.
What does Xu Wenchuan mean by this? This is clearly a naked threat! Okay, didn't you Bai Zhenshan refuse to give Tang Xinyi the title of marquis on the pretext that there was no precedent? Then your daughter, Princess White Butterfly, does not want to inherit the throne after you are a hundred years old. For what? There is no precedent!
Xu Wenchuan's blow really hit Bai Zhenshan's soft underbelly. Who is the emperor who doesn't want the country to be passed down forever in the hands of his children and grandchildren? Bai Zhenshan only has one daughter, Bai Die, if Bai Die can't sit on the emperor because he is a woman, then wouldn't his Bai family's country be handed over to others for nothing? This is unacceptable to Bai Zhenshan no matter what!
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to say that in this world, not everything has to follow precedents? Moreover, our Qingyun Empire has always paid attention to equality between men and women. Now there are many women who take on heavy responsibilities in various positions in the empire. And it turns out that they are no worse than men either. Therefore, Weichen thought that the emperor did not need to have any worries about giving Tang Xinyi the title of marquis. ”
"That's what King Joyama said! According to the laws of our empire, there has always been only one rule for the title of marquis and knighthood, and that is to reward meritorious service! Tang Xinyi's attack was well known to everyone in the Manchu Dynasty. Named a woman's marquis, it is well deserved! ”
In the past few years since Bai Zhenshan's illness, Tang Xinyi and Princess Bai Die have confronted Qiu Wanli together, and what hardships and difficulties have they faced? But Tang Xinyi has never flinched, and on this basis, it is not an exaggeration to be named a 'women's marquis'. But after Bai Zhenshan recovered from his illness, instead of rewarding him for his merits, he severely beat Tang Xinyi, removed him from all official positions, and expelled him from the palace, so that many people in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were aggrieved by Tang Xinyi. Xu Wenchuan stood up and wanted to stand up for Tang Xinyi, and most of the ministers still agreed with it in their hearts.
As Bai Zhenshan expected, Hu Jingqi made such a statement, Wujin Soul, Guo Yi and other factions of the Xu family echoed one after another, and soon, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty sided with Xu Wenchuan.
With Xu Wenchuan as the leader, Wujin Soul, and Hu Jingqi as the right-hand man, this almost forms an iron triangle, which is unbreakable!
Since Bai Zhenshan became the emperor, he has never been so cowardly. Being bi and bi like this, what has he become, puppet? As a king, what could be more humiliating than being a puppet and being at the mercy of others?
Humiliation to humiliation? But Bai Zhenshan had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Alright! I should be clear about rewards and punishments, otherwise I will be rebuked as unjust. I will issue an edict, Tang Xinyi will be promoted to the third level, and he will be promoted to the title of 'Female Marquis', with a bounty of 10,000 taels and a Hou Mansion! I hope he will do his best to protect the country and the people! ”
Bai Zhenshan is not a faint monarch after all, and his thinking is still very clear. Since this loss is a loss, you have to eat it, and you have to eat it if you don't eat it, so it's better to be generous, not only to seal the marquis, but also to reward it, so that you can look better and earn more word of mouth by the way.
"In this way, the princess of the courtiers, thank you to the emperor Longen!" Bai Zhenshan said this, but he didn't really mean to thank him. In Xu Wenchuan's opinion, this is what Tang Xinyi deserves, and there is nothing to thank.
Looking at Xu Wenchuan's expression, Bai Zhenshan knew what he was thinking. It's not that Xu Wenchuan doesn't have a city government, and his joy and anger are all on his face, it's really that Xu Wenchuan is so domineering, he just wants to show your emperor's face, can your emperor not look at it?
"Now that Tang Xinyi has been promoted to the title of Lady Marquis, it is inconvenient for her to take on the position of Feng Xiangwei's commander. I decided to appoint Juan as the commander of Feng Xiangwei, what do the ministers think? ”
Bai Zhenshan suffered a loss, so he wanted to get it back from somewhere else. This position of Feng Xiangwei commander, although it is not very big, is a real lack of military power, and it is related to the safety of the royal family, and it is naturally Bai Zhenshan's wish to send a trustworthy person to serve as the commander.
Bai Zhenshan thought that he had already given Xu Wenchuan face twice before, first expelled He Zhen from the council hall, and then promised to make Tang Xinyi the marquis of women, no matter how it can be said, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, if Xu Wenchuan is sensible, he should repay the favor and agree to the appointment of Juan.
But Bai Zhenshan obviously thought wrong, Xu Wenchuan not only wanted to smash the field today, but also seemed to smash it to the end.
As soon as Bai Zhenshan's words fell, Xu Wenchuan shook his head directly and said, "Your Majesty, no!" ”
As soon as Xu Wenchuan's four words came out, Bai Zhenshan was so annoyed that he almost didn't jump up from the dragon chair and have a life-and-death with Xu Wenchuan. I promised you those two big things, such a little thing, but you Xu Wenchuan blocked it horizontally, what do you mean?
"Joyama King tell me why!" Bai Zhenshan's voice was low and terrifying, and it made people tremble when he heard it.
Xu Wenchuan ignored it, and raised his voice, "Feng Xiangwei is the Praetorian Guard who guards the palace, and there are not many people, but the burden he bears is not light. It is reasonable to find a person with both prestige and ability to be the commander. Juan, although he has a certain talent, is not from Feng Xiangwei after all, and he has no prestige in Feng Xiangwei at all, how can he lead Feng Xiangwei to protect the safety of the royal family? ”
"Prestige? Juan is my own seal, isn't that enough? Bai Zhenshan's face became more and more gloomy.
Xu Wenchuan smiled slightly and said, "Just because Juan was personally sealed by the emperor, the result may be worse." Your Majesty, you must know that Feng Xiangwei was brought out by the Women's Marquis, and they have extremely deep feelings for the Women's Marquis. Compare your heart to your heart, if the emperor is also a member of Feng Xiangwei, how would you treat Juan? ”
"What King Dingshan said is ......" As soon as Xu Wenchuan's words fell, Hu Jingqi stood up again.
Bai Zhenshan's head buzzed, and it almost didn't explode. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, Lord Tiger doesn't need to say it, I also think what King Dingshan said makes sense." So King Dingshan, in your opinion, who is the most suitable person to serve as the commander of Feng Xiangwei? ”
"Di Xiang, the former deputy commander of Fengxiangwei, is calm and cautious, and has a certain prestige in Fengxiangwei, so he can take on this important responsibility!" Xu Wenchuan did not hesitate and blurted out. It seems that the candidate for the commander of Feng Xiangwei has been wandering around in his mind, and he is afraid that it will not be a day or two.
When Bai Zhenshan heard this, he couldn't help but scold his mother. He devised a trick to drive Tang Xinyi out of the position of the commander of Feng Xiangwei, and he wanted to replace him with a person he trusted, rebuild Feng Xiangwei, and make it a strong force that is completely loyal to him, but now, everything is in vain.
Who is Di Xiang? is Tang Xinyi's follower at all, and it can be said that Tang Xinyi is dead. There is no difference between letting Di Xiang be the leader of Feng Xiangwei and letting Tang Xinyi do it.
"Hmmm! Di Xiang is indeed a good person, and he should be able to take on this heavy responsibility! Ugin Soul said seriously.
Bai Zhenshan's brain couldn't help but feel a sharp pain. I'm afraid that the same situation will be staged for the third time.
Sure enough, as soon as Ugin Soul spoke, he and his ministers expressed their agreement one after another. It seems that he is late to express his position, as if he is not close to Xu Wenchuan. It was the first time that Bai Zhenshan discovered that this Manchu Dynasty civil and military was so united, it was simply a family!
Many people envy the emperors in ancient times, thinking that whatever they say is what they say, and they control all the power of life and death in the world, so they are not prestigious. But in fact, the emperor's helplessness is far more and more painful than ordinary people. Just like Bai Zhenshan now, he is the emperor, but what is there that he can really say?
Today, Xu Wenchuan really taught him a lesson, and the topic is - if you make the Xu family anxious, even if you are the emperor, you can only stare angrily!
"Alright! Since this is the case, then listen to the king of Dingshan and seal Di Xiang as the commander of Feng Xiangwei! ”
Bai Zhenshan suddenly felt a little tired, and even more bored.
This time in the court, it was really an eye-opener for the ministers. Bai Zhenshan and the Xu family clashed three times, but the result was that they lost three times in a row and fell into a disadvantage. If it weren't for the witnesses of all this, I'm afraid no one would believe it. Why, is the current Xu family already strong to this point?
"Your Majesty, the minister still has a book to play!" Just when the ministers were shocked, Xu Wenchuan spoke again.
The ministers, who were still talking about it just now, immediately held their breath again. Why, the smoke of the third battle has not yet dissipated, and Xu Wenchuan is about to launch a fourth attack? What kind of rhythm is this, do you want to put Bai Zhenshan, the emperor, the rhythm of life and death?
When Bai Zhenshan heard that Xu Wenchuan still had a plan to play, the whole person was also stunned. There must be a limit to this slap in the face, again and again, do you have to beat me into a pig's head, is there a courtier like you? Is it okay for the emperor to let you sit down?
"Xu Aiqing, what else do you have to play?" Bai Zhenshan's voice was very trembling, and it was almost pitiful.
"Your Majesty, after Xuanyou's death, the army under his command has been supervised by General Guo Yi Guo, which is not a long-term solution after all. The minister thought that someone should be sent to fill Xuanyou's lack as soon as possible. Xu Wenchuan didn't care what kind of expression Bai Zhenshan had, but he couldn't be pitiful, and said with his mouth open.
Not to mention, Xu Wenchuan's performance is also something that Bai Zhenshan has been thinking about in recent days, and he can't sleep. The three armies defending Gyeonggi are really important. Whoever controls these three armies will be tantamount to mastering Cloudsdale. Wujin Soul has completely fallen to Xu Wenchuan, Guo Yi is also getting closer and closer to Xu Wenchuan, and now if he doesn't hold the army that originally belonged to Xuanyou in the palm of his hand, he Bai Zhenshan will completely become the fish and meat on Xu Wenchuan's sword.
The relationship is so powerful, Bai Zhenshan can't sleep, and it is also a reasonable thing.
