Chapter 663: Resistance to the Decree
When the first emperor was still alive, he made Tang Guixi the county lord and divided Xiangtai into her fiefdom.
Since the war with the Chen army, everyone called Tang Guixi General Tang.
It had been a long time since she had heard the title of Xiangtai County Lord.
At this time, Wei Yu called her the county lord of Xiangtai, which was nothing more than a reminder to her not to forget her original identity.
After Wei Yu finished speaking, he waited for Tang Guixi to kneel down and listen to the order.
As a result, Tang Guixi had no intention of kneeling at all.
She stretched out her right hand with a normal expression: "Give it to me." ”
Wei Xiao: "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”
Tang Guixi's tone was cold: "In my territory, my words are the rules." ”
Wei looked at her for a moment.
Just when Yu Yuanxuan thought that they would tear their faces, Wei Yu smiled suddenly: "Okay, since the county lord has said so, then it's up to you." ”
He handed over the decree.
Tang Guixi took the holy decree with one hand, unfolded it on the spot, and read the entire content at a glance.
There are a lot of words written in the holy decree, most of which are nonsense without nutrition, and in the end, it can be summed up in three points-
First, the emperor thanked Tang Guixi for leading his troops to repel the army of Chenguo, rewarded the first two gold, gave the county lord, and asked her to return to Beijing as soon as possible to receive the reward.
Second, after all, she is a daughter, and it is not suitable for her to be in charge of the army, and the imperial court will send someone to take over the Eastern Expeditionary Army and Liaodong County, and ask her to prepare for the handover in advance.
Third, Xiao Ti and Yu Yuanyuan are wanted criminals by the imperial court, and Tang Guixi should have been severely punished for hiding fugitives, but in the credit of Tang Guixi leading the troops to block the enemy army, as long as she can send the two important criminals to the imperial court, the emperor can not blame her for the past.
Wei Xiao obviously knew the content of the holy decree for a long time, and he clenched his fists and saluted politely.
"Congratulations to the county lord, you will soon become the county lord.
When you arrive in Yujing, the emperor will have more rewards for you.
You'll be in the best of luck and won't have to risk fighting people on the battlefield.
If General Tang is still alive, he will definitely be glad for you. ”
Who knew that Tang Guixi actually threw the holy decree at Wei Xiao's feet with a casual flick of his hand.
"I appreciate the emperor's kindness, but I'm sorry, I'm used to living in Liaodong County, and I don't plan to move the place, please go back with the holy decree, and don't come again in the future."
Wei Yu couldn't help frowning, and reminded in a deep voice: "County Lord, this is a holy decree, and resisting the decree is a capital crime!" ”
Tang Guixi seemed to have come back to his senses just now, and said suddenly.
"Yes, as a courtier, you can't ignore the emperor's will."
Wei Xiao bent down to pick up the holy decree, patted off the dust on it, and offered it with both hands again: "Since the county lord knows, please do what you do." ”
Tang Guixi smiled: "Then I won't be a courtier." ”
Wei Yu was stunned: "What did you say?" ”
Tang Guixi took a step forward and said word by word.
"At the beginning, it was Shen Zhuo who took the initiative to give up the Eastern Expeditionary Army and Liaodong County, and now he wants to rely on a holy decree to take the Eastern Expeditionary Army and Liaodong County back, dreaming? You go back and tell him that since you have decided to give it up, don't think about getting it back, from now on, Liaodong County is my territory, and everything here is up to me. ”
Wei Xiao's expression became difficult to see: "You want to rebel? ”
Tang Guixi learned the way Yu Yuan spoke before, spread his hands, and said almost like a scoundrel.
"If you have to think so, I can't help it
Wei Yu had long expected that this trip would not go well, but he didn't expect Tang Guixi to be so tough, not only resisting the order, but even wanting to rebel.
Wei Xiao continued to press.
"You have to think about it, even if you have the military power of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in your hands, but now you only have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses left, if the imperial court wants to send troops to suppress it, can you really bear it?"
Tang Guixi was not afraid, but showed a confident smile.
"Then let's fight, and see who dies in the end."
She made it clear that she would not look back.
It was useless to say more, Wei Yu put away the holy decree and prepared for the worst in his heart.
"The county lord told me such an important matter, I'm afraid he won't let me go back to Yujing alive."
Tang Guixi: "Don't worry, you let go of Xuan Xuan and Xiao Ti before, they owe you a favor, I won't kill you today, just treat it as a favor for them, you go, go back and tell Shen Zhuo for me, Liaodong County will not be under the control of Dayan in the future." “
Speaking of this, she paused, since Liaodong County has been separated from the wild goose, it can't be called a county.
She turned her head to look at Yu Yuanyuan and asked, "Let's change the name of Liaodong County, what do you think is better?" ”
Yu Yuan thought of the red flag fluttering on the city wall, and on the flag was the word "Tang" with a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and said.
"The word Tang is very good, we are located here to the east of the wild goose, let's call it Dongtang."
Tang Guixi's eyes lit up: "Okay, it's called Dongtang!" ”
Then she looked at Wei Yu again.
"Do you hear that? In the future, this will no longer be Liaodong County, but the Eastern Tang Kingdom, which is the territory of my Tang Dynasty. ”
Wei Xiao: "......"
At this time, his mood was very complicated.
He didn't know whether to be angry about Tang Guixi's rebellion, or to complain about their almost child's playful way of naming names.
Tang Guixi sat down on the main seat and raised his right hand: "Master Wei, please go back." ”
Wei Xiao knew that this place was not suitable for a long time.
But he didn't move.
He looked at Yu Xuanxuan and asked.
"Can you take a step to speak?"
Xiao Ti frowned: "Is there anything you can't say here?" ”
Wei Yu ignored him, and looked at Yu Xuan with fixed eyes.
Yu Yuanyu didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, so he said: "It's the same here." ”
Wei Xiao: "Don't you want to know how your father and younger siblings are doing?" ”
Yu curled her lower lip, hesitating in her heart.
She really wanted to know how Yu Sheng and Yu Huanhuan were doing now?
Tang Guixi interjected: "If you really want to say something, it's the same right here, why bother to talk elsewhere?" Didn't you deliberately find it unpleasant for the little couple? ”
Yu curled his head, indicating that what Gui Xi said was reasonable.
"You can talk about it right here."
Wei Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself.
"There's really no hope left for me, well, I'll just tell you. For your sake, the emperor sent someone to monitor the people of the Yu family, but it was not unfavorable to them. ”
Yu Yuanyu: "Thank you." ”
Wei Xiao: "Actually, the emperor didn't want to send me to Liaodong County this time, it was an errand that I took the initiative to ask for, I just wanted to come to see you, by the way, from Yujing to Liaodong, after several lives and deaths, have you ever regretted it for a moment?" ”
Yu Yuanxuan replied without hesitation: "No." ”
As if relieved, Wei Xiao exhaled softly.
"That's fine."
After speaking, he took a step back: "My task has been completed, so don't leave it here." ”
Wei Xiao turned to leave, striding out of the front hall.
Yu Xuanxuan didn't know what he thought, and quickly chased out the door, shouting at his back.
"I forgot to tell you, thank you!"
Wei Xiao paused, but did not look back.
He waved his arm to indicate that he had heard, and continued to stride forward.
