On this morning, Chun Yu sat on the dragon chair. All the courtiers below were solemn and respectful, and stood neatly downward.

A Shangshu surnamed Ruan stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the history of the assassination in Qianzhong is urgent, saying that there are horse bandits in Panxian County who have broken through the county, and the horse bandits are rampant, killing people like hemp, although the history of the assassins in Qianzhong sent troops to rescue, but they are still not defeated by the cunning of the horse bandits, and now the gate of the county seat of Panxian County is closed, and everyone cannot enter or exit." Panxian County Linglu was taken to prison by the horse bandits, and the people of Panxian County were in danger and miserable, and Weichen also asked the emperor to send troops as soon as possible to exterminate the horse bandits. ”

Chun Yuzheng's two right-hand men in the court, one is this Ruan Shangshu, whose full name is Ruan Mu. Although he is over half a hundred years old, his face is full of wrinkles, his skin is dark, and his body is thin. But after all, he was born and died with Chun Yuzheng back then, and the hero of King Qin's escort, over the years, he has been loyal to Chun Yuzheng, and has dedicated his life to the country and the people.

"Since Panxian is a horse bandit rampant, then all the Aiqing in the court, who do you think is more appropriate for me to send to suppress the bandits?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a whisper in the court.

After a while, Chun Yudang took a step forward, knelt down and pleaded: "Father, my son is willing to go!" ”

Before the courtiers could react, Chun Yuxu also took a step forward, knelt down and said, "Father, the sons are also willing to go!" ”

Seeing Chun Yudang and Chun Yuxu competing for their lives, Chun Yuzheng also had a big head. If Chun Yudang is sent forward, then Chun Yudang can also take this opportunity to stabilize the position of the prince, but this move will cause Chun Yuxu's dissatisfaction, and if Chun Yuxu is sent, Chun Yudang will also be dissatisfied in his heart.

Chun Yuzheng looked at Bi Shangshu, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Bi Qing, what do you think?" ”

This Bi Shangshu Bi Huan is Chun Yuzheng's right arm. This person has a dark yellow complexion, is also over half a hundred years old, has a full beard, and is tall and thin. Hearing Chun Yu ask him, Bi Huan bowed, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the crown prince and the second prince are not suitable!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Tao stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the second prince is the general of Zhenxi, and he is busy with military affairs, so I am afraid it is not suitable to go to Panxian County to suppress bandits." And the prince's visit is an opportunity to hone his skills. I also asked the emperor to send the prince to Panxian to exterminate the bandits, so as to correct the dynasty! ”

A young man stood up, this man was Xi Jili's nephew Xi Qiang, Xi Qiang was strong and rude, although he had read for a few years, he was an out-and-out reckless man. He made great contributions to Chun Yu's conquest, so he was named a guerrilla general.

Xi Qiang had a rough voice and spoke loudly, but he still saluted in a proper manner, and argued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prime minister's words are wrong. The prince has never led troops to fight in actual combat, and although he has read military books over the years, he is just an empty idea of talking about soldiers on paper. Pan County horse bandits are rampant, related to the lives of the people of a county, the second prince served as the general of Zhenxi for many years, in the outside march to fight, rich experience, if let the second prince lead people to suppress bandits, I believe that in a few days, will be able to exterminate the horse bandits, but also a peace in Pan County. ”

As soon as these words came out, half of the ministers of the DPRK stood up and saluted: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

After hearing this, Ye Tao was angry, and opened his mouth to defend: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the prince has never been in battle to fight, so this opportunity must be given to the prince." The prince has been established as the prince in the court for many years, but he has not had the opportunity to share the emperor's worries, and now the court is turbulent and the people's hearts are unstable. ”

"There are many opportunities for meritorious service, so why rush this time? Horse bandits break into Pan County, they will slaughter the city, the prince has no experience, if he really goes to Pan County, what if something happens? Moreover, it is the lives of the people of a county in Pan County, is the prime minister going to gamble with the lives of the people of a county? ”

Ye Tao was speechless by Xi Qiang for a while, so he could only dodge with a look on his face, and said, "This ......"

Xi Qiang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued: "Besides, if the prince really encounters danger here, can you afford this responsibility, Prime Minister?" The prince is in danger, and the people will also be implicated, but when the time comes, the court will send people to treat it again, so will it not be more than that? ”

Ye Tao still wanted to refute, but Chun Yuzheng was already angry.

"Enough!" Chun Yuzheng said coldly

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking and retreated.

Chun Yuzheng looked at Bi Huan, who was quietly watching the play on the side, "Bi Qing, just now you said that Xu'er and Dang'er are not suitable to suppress bandits, do you have a better candidate in mind?" ”

Bi Huan took a step forward, and he glanced at Chu Huiyin, who was standing on the right side without saying a word, quietly watching the play, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor can send General Chu to suppress the bandits." ”

As soon as these words came out, the court immediately fell silent. After Chun Yu listened, his angry face finally returned to normal.

Chu Huiyin is a general of the Eastern Expedition, who has been fighting abroad all the year round, has rich experience in actual combat, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats for the Yongchun country. Sending her this time can not only exterminate the horse bandits, but also avoid conflicts with Chun Yuxu and Chun Yudang, so that they can have the best of both worlds.

Chun Yudang glanced at Chu Huiyin, "General Chu, then this time Panxian suppressed bandits, please ask the general." ”

Chu Huiyin stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister, you will not be dishonored!" ”

After a fierce court quarrel, Chun Yuzheng announced his retreat from the court.

In the imperial study, Chun Yuzheng was sitting on a chair flipping through books, and a voice came from outside the door, "Minister, Chu Huiyin, meet the emperor!" ”

Chun Yuzheng put down the book in his hand, "Come in!" Chu Huiyin stood aside, waiting for Chun Yuzheng's order.

"General Chu, I'm going to Panxian here, I still have something to ask for!"

Chu Huiyin knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The minister is afraid, the emperor has an order, despite the order, the minister will not hesitate to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

Chun Yuzheng got up, walked to Chu Huiyin's side, helped Chu Huiyin up with both hands, and said with a sad face: "General Chu, my twelve princesses were abducted by gangsters, and their whereabouts are still unknown. There is also the county lord of Jianing who was also robbed by gangsters, and there is no news so far. General Chu is going to Panxian here, and he must pay more attention to me along the way! ”

After hearing this, Chu Huiyin's eyebrows tightened, but he still saluted and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, along the way, the ministers will definitely search carefully, and strive to find the princess and the group leader as soon as possible!" ”

Chun Yuzheng nodded and sighed lightly, full of helplessness and worry, "You go down first!" ”

"Whoa!"

After Chu Huiyin responded, he quickly retreated.

In the evening, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the county government in the county seat of Panxian County was full of many men with slight figures. They wore cloth hats, loose and unkempt hair, wore tattered clothes, and held large knives in their hands, and their expressions were fierce, and they knew at a glance that they were horse bandits who had broken into the city.

The hall of the county government was messed up by this gang of horse bandits, and after the group of horse bandits took care of the county government hall, except for a chair in front of the hall that could be sat on, the whole hall became empty and empty.

A man of medium build, who was over the age of six, with white hair and a white head, walked over, and the man was blind in one eye and covered it with an eye patch. The man sat on a chair with a big knife in his hand, and the horse bandits in the hall all knelt down and said in unison: "Great boss!" ”

This big boss is the boss of the horse bandits, Ma Peng! Ma Peng captured Pan County, thinking that he could win a county and be the emperor of a soil, and Ma Peng also had an adopted daughter - Ma Qin! Ma Peng doted on this woman and named her Ma Qin, originally thinking that he could let his daughter learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be a knowledgeable young lady, but he didn't expect that the young lady didn't do it, but developed a big grinning temperament who likes to dance knives and guns.

Ma Peng glanced at the kneeling brother and said with a smile: "Get up!" ”

When the bandits heard this, they all stood up.

"In the future, the brothers will be a family, don't be so restrained and polite, in the future, we will have meat to eat together, wine to drink together, and from now on we will be a local emperor in this county, and show off our might!"

Ma Peng's words were full of fighting spirit, and they all raised their hands to applaud. Outside the door, a little girl of about eighteen years old ran in and said angrily: "Before entering the county seat, I told you not to hurt the people, did you take my words as wind in your ears?" ”

It was Ma Peng's daughter Ma Qin who ran in to reprimand people. Ma Qin is tall, has a round face, and has average facial features, which is very popular, but if you can apply rouge gouache, you can also amaze everyone. It's a pity that she likes to dance with knives and guns all day long, her temperament is as strong as a man, and she only thinks it's troublesome to wipe rouge and gouache, so she rarely touches those things.

Hearing Ma Qin's scolding, there was silence in the lobby. Because, everyone knows that Ma Qin has a big temper, and everyone would rather offend the big boss than offend Ma Qin, otherwise, although Ma Qin will not kill him, he will also use some small tricks to kill him. Ma Qin's lecture, everyone can only listen. Because, after she finished speaking, she would leave, and when she was angry, the matter would pass.

Ma Qin ordered: "In the future, be polite to the people of Pan County, and from tomorrow, we will open a warehouse to release grain." Also, from tomorrow onwards, notices will be posted everywhere so that the people can continue to do business, and the streets will return to the old order. You know? ”

After hearing this, the bandits glanced at Ma Peng, Ma Peng nodded helplessly, and Ma Peng was helpless against Ma Qin, a girl. When the bandits saw this, they nodded their heads and echoed: "Yes, yes, these things, brothers will do it tomorrow!" ”

Ma Qin continued: "Also, in the future, you have to be reasonable with the people, don't spend all day long, holding a knife, wandering around the streets, you don't look at your own ghostly appearance, all fierce and vicious, and you are not afraid to scare the people." You must remember to me that you are not allowed to commit murder again, and if anyone I leave to kill people wantonly on the street, bully the weak, burn and loot, and do all kinds of evil, I will kill them on the spot to set an example! Do you understand? ”

Everyone nodded again, and respectfully agreed: "Understood, understood!" ”

"Finally, the ammunition and artillery we smuggled into the city must be hidden and not leaked, you know?"

Everyone smiled again and agreed: "I know, I know!" Miss, do you have any other instructions? ”

Ma Qin thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing to command, so he turned around directly and strode outside. Ma Peng shook his head, sighed softly, and said secretly in his heart: Little girl, I am really spoiled!

After being reprimanded by Ma Qin, Ma Pengfu said a few more words, and then everyone dispersed.
