Chapter 217

Seeing that Qin Jinrui actually handed over the handsome seal, a trace of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes. 【Latest chapter reading. He carefully looked at the third son, who had always been gentle and never involved in partisanship, and made a decision in his heart in an instant. After a while, he laughed loudly: "You only think about how leisurely you are, you just think that your father is embarrassing you, but it is not allowed to let you be idle. ”

As his words fell, the entire court was also stunned. To be exact, probably no one would have thought that the emperor would make such a decision. You must know that the Ministry of War has always been firmly in the hands of the emperor, and the secretary of the Ministry of War is the emperor's confidant.

And now the emperor means, doesn't it mean that what he values most in his heart is the inconspicuous three princes? Or, is this for the third prince i?

Those who can stand above the court, whose mind is not twisted and turned, can come to seven or eight conclusions with a little thought. But in the final analysis, everyone's eyes when they looked at the third prince Rui Wang were thoughtful.

Immediately, Lord Yang, who has always been the right-hand man of the eldest prince, stepped forward with a white jade wat board, knelt behind King Rui and Zhang Manchu and said: "Weichen has objections, the affairs of the military department are related to the survival of the border of Jiangshan Sheji, and there is no child's play, His Royal Highness King Rui is young, and Weichen thinks that it is not enough to take on this important responsibility." Yes, Weichen also asked the saint to think twice. ”

His words seemed to be upright and calm, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, but it made the emperor on the dragon chair cold, and a fierce color crossed his eyes.

Yang Yongtang's ability is quite outstanding, as the head of the household, there has never been a bad pool, although he is not a clean official with clean sleeves, but it is better than those who have a vegetarian meal. It's just that in the early years, he tried his best to protect the eldest prince, and even reprimanded the officials of the imperial history platform for impeaching the eldest prince, so it was inevitable that he would be labeled as the eldest prince.

But those are the private speculations of the big guys, and no one knows what they actually are. Even after some investigation, the emperor failed to find out what he was wrong with, so he turned a blind eye to him and ignored him.

And now as soon as he came out, he opened his mouth to object to the emperor's decision, and opened his mouth to say that the third prince was not worthy of the task. If it's just usual, it's just that he was born after His Royal Highness King Rui and the general of the protectorate defeated the Huns, then this is interesting.

Sure enough, watching the people of the eldest prince's faction echo each other in a few words, even the second and fourth people also argued, and they felt that the third prince was used to being idle and should not take such an important position.

The emperor on the throne frowned, his face was cold, and he said lightly: "Yang Shangshu's words are not unreasonable, but now King Rui's ability is obvious to all, and his ability to lead the army is even more undoubted. ”

Seeing that the emperor was obviously displeased, the people who were arguing below couldn't help but be silent. After looking at the eldest and second and fourth looking at each other expressionlessly, the emperor was even more indifferent for a long time, and said lightly: "This matter is so decided." ”

When the holy decree fell, Zhang Manchu also kowtowed and said: "Qi Sheng, the ministers are also the same as His Royal Highness, and return the talisman to Your Majesty." ”

When Zhang Lai took the box containing the handsome seal and the military talisman to the emperor, the emperor squinted and saw that the two of them had no other expressions, and no one could guess what he was thinking in his heart. waited until everyone was a little frightened, and they couldn't wait to kick the unknown Zhang Manho out of the court directly, and the emperor restrained his expression, glanced down, and took in everyone's expressions of doubt, joy or hesitation.

"The general who protects the country is loyal and patriotic, and he is specially given the imperial brocade robe, and the protector of the country is sealed, and the palace of the country is amnesty. In addition, it is specially allowed to go directly to the palace to face the saint and enter the study to talk about things. The emperor glanced at the civil and military officials with different expressions, and was indifferent for a long time before he said slightly gently, "I don't know what else Aiqing wants?" ”

Zhang Manchu listened to the series of titles, only felt a little dizzy, thought about it, he simply kowtowed and said roughly: "The minister has no other ideas, and he doesn't need the emperor to bother arranging any position, the minister doesn't know much about words, so he wants to be able to live with his daughter-in-law for a lifetime, so please don't reward the minister with anything, just reward the minister's daughter-in-law with a plaque, so that it will be easier for her to do business in the future." ”

The amount of information revealed by these words is too much, General Protector, oh, no, it should be the rhythm of the Protector This is the rhythm of asking beauties not to be beautiful. He said that he was a reckless person who didn't understand literature and ink, which was already a big joke in the world, and now he actually asked for a reward for his wife in front of the ministers. Partial birth, that lady is still a merchant girl?

If that's it, forget it, look at his appearance, what he said is still reasonable, the pride and joy on his face, how angry he looks.

If it was just a hint of a hoarding character from the secret music before, then now that I see it, the emperor still feels a little angry. This person who asks for a reward for his wife and speaks rudely is really the protector of the Xiongnu and even the barbarians in the north? But if you think about the words on those secret notes, he will soon understand that he is just a big old man from a mountain and countryside, and he can expect him to say what high-sounding and obedient words?

Besides, it's such a rectum, and there is no big hope, and it can be used for his own use, deterring small countries in all directions, and it is not safe to worry that he will be promoted and favored.

Thinking of this, the emperor was not surprised, only laughed twice, and said loudly: "Aiqing is really a true temperament, but Aiqing, the protector of the country, should not refuse." Come, the intention is to promote the family members of the Duke of the Kingdom to stay in the Mansion of the Protector of the State on the same day, and the Duchess of the Kingdom will be promoted to a first-class order, and will be given splendid embroidery, jade shaft horns and other things"

Originally, it was surprising enough to say that the emperor crowned the protector general as the protector of the country. It is said that it is sealed, but in fact, the protector of the country, who has confiscated the military power, basically has no real power, what is the difference between it and derogation? The partial emperor then added another sentence that the Duke of Protector was allowed to enter the palace at any time to face the saint, and he could enter the study to discuss matters. This can be considered, if it is said that the emperor is afraid of the protector, but he shows the will of closeness and trust. If you want to say that he trusts the protector, he has received the talisman again.

In contrast, the matter of Zhang Manchu asking for his wife's life just now did not really make any waves, except for the secret jokes and ridicule in the hearts of many people. At best, it is just a few words that people mumble in private, which does not hinder the overall situation.

However, after hearing the will, General Xiong's face directly darkened. Although his daughter is the daughter of the Auxiliary General's Mansion, in terms of rank, she is far inferior to the title of Mrs. Yipin. At most, his daughter was praised a few more words,

If you look at it this way, even if your daughter enters the Guogong Mansion, she can't replace the status of the wife of a small rural peasant woman. But he was reluctant to let his daughter be a small side room.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but squint, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor's face was a little weird, and seeing that he still didn't know each other and wanted to speak, the emperor immediately said coldly: "Above the court, if what is played is not a state affair, don't mention it." After that, he stroked his beard and warned Zhang Manchu on the ground, "I will remember that you enter the court for the first time, don't care, if there is a next time, you will be severely punished." ”

After these words, General Xiong really blocked a mouthful of old blood in his throat, and he could only retreat for a while. He can't disobey the emperor's wishes, but he should mention his daughter's marriage again at this juncture.

After the court was over, the emperor rubbed his forehead tiredly, and then waved his hand to retreat. It's just that before everyone came over to congratulate King Rui and the protector, they saw Zhang Lai, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, coming in a hurry, and after saluting respectfully, he said that the emperor invited His Royal Highness King Rui to go to the study to discuss matters.

And Zhang Manho, who was the only one left, listened to the flattery, and felt strange and boring, so he simply ignored it and strode directly outside the palace gate. When I arrived at the front of the palace and saw a few of the six sons, I went out of the Xuanwu Gate again to lead people out of the palace.

Of course, in front of the palace gate, I happened to run into General Xiong and others who were leaving. Zhang Manchu thought of some rumors outside, thinking that this matter would have to be resolved sooner or later, he had no intention of falling into a benefactor and a predicament, but he would not compromise on this. If General Xiong was willing, he pondered that it would not be difficult to suppress those few words of tongue in the capital.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and told General Xiong to slow down. After being polite, he saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he waved his hand and asked the six sons to stay close, and then said bluntly: "The battlefield is goodbye, and the general is fine." ”

These sour words, he still learned from Zhu Neng. Before entering the palace, Zhu Nengke taught him that if he heard that people made his heart, he should just not know, and he didn't have to give anyone a good face when he left. As for the flattery of old acquaintances who can't be avoided, just pick up polite words like this.

Seeing that Zhang Manchu took the initiative to step forward, General Xiong's cold and hard face turned slightly better. However, in words, he has not been able to recover his strength, let alone be respectful.

Zhang Manchu didn't care, he was in a hurry to make his words clear, and went back to find his daughter-in-law, where is there time to pester him, does he have a good face?

"General, there have been some rumors in the capital recently, and I am also quite confused. I also hope that the general will help me suppress those rumors with the friendship of my comrades, firstly, I will only recognize my daughter-in-law in this life, and secondly, it is also for the sake of Xiǎo Jiě's reputation. Zhang Manchu said categorically, "We are not people who like to play with spears, and I won't go around the bend to say it, what the general told His Highness before, His Highness told me, but I can't agree." ”

Seeing what he said bluntly, General Xiong frowned coldly, and the bull's eyes with big copper bells couldn't wait to eat Zhang Manho.

"What's the matter, my daughter is not worthy of you?"

"Naturally not. It's just that the general must know that the wife of the knot cannot be abandoned, and although I am rude, I am not the wolf-hearted person. My daughter-in-law treated me wholeheartedly when she was self-trapped and reckless, and this friendship is not comparable to anyone. xiǎo jiě and I have a life-saving grace, but that kindness is, to put it bluntly, just the meaning of His Highness, plus my identity. If I am still the villain of Pthalen Tree Bay, does the general think that xiǎo jiě will go to the rescue of me? Or will the general come to His Highness? ”
