Chapter Seventy-Four: Fearless in the face of danger, Daqing Hall angrily reprimanded the ministers (2)
Zhao Zhen bit his lip and said, "The county lord is righteous, I know it very well!" But you are a woman, how do you lead the army to defend against the enemy? ”
He glanced at the ministers and said: "After the death of Meng Chang in Shu, his concubine Madame Hua Rui made such a poem: '140,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are men. 'Now that my Song Dynasty is a big country, and the national crisis is at the head, is there no man among the ministers who can serve the country and lead the troops to the battle?
I really want Liao Guo to laugh at the fact that there is no one in my country's dynasty and let a woman lead the troops on the front line! Speaking excitedly, Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and slammed the royal case, making a muffled sound of "bang".
When all the ministers heard this, they were all frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The ministers are incompetent!" ”
After a long time, the ministers saw that the official's anger had subsided, and the governor Fang Yong took the lead, knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the lord of Le'an is ashamed of himself and shameless!" Although the county lord is a woman, she is an out-and-out heroine.
Her martial arts are unmatched by men. At the Jin-Mingchi opening ceremony that year, only the county lord dared to challenge King Xiao of the Southern Courtyard of Liaoguo. Now that the Liao State is invading south, he is afraid of the prestige of the county lord, so he asks the official family to approve the county lord's petition and approve her grand wish to fight for the country.
When the Liao people heard that the lord of Le'an personally led the troops to fight, they must have been frightened and fled. At that time, the county lord will be invincible, raise the prestige of our country, and let the Liao State no longer dare to mention the courage of the southern invasion! ”
Although Zhao Zhen asked Ye Pei to go to the palace to reprimand the ministers, he didn't really want her to lead the troops to the battle, but just used her to provoke the resistance of the ministers. Fang Yong, a radical tactic that will be calculated, first lifted Ye Pei to the sky to see how she fell hard.
Fang Yong looked at the official family and Ye Pei like a joke, it was really insidious.
Zhao Zhen was frozen on the ground, glaring at Fang Yong angrily, but he didn't have good words to refute him.
Ye Pei was really willing to send troops to Liao and fight for the country. When she saw Fang Yong shouting for a challenge, she kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty, when the national crisis is at hand, those who suffer are not divided into old and weak women and children, and those who are responsible should not be discriminated against on the basis of gender." Le'an sincerely pleads, shares his worries for the king, and implores His Majesty to grant the minister's grand wish. ”
"This ......" Zhao Zhen is embarrassed at the moment, if he blindly protects his shortcomings and does not let Ye Pei go on the expedition, I am afraid that today's director's good play will fall short. If Ye Pei is really allowed to go on the expedition, the front line is dangerous, the sword has no eyes, and I am afraid that there will be damage, and Zhao Zhen will die of distress.
He raised his eyes and looked at Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan, wanting to ask for his help. But Fan Zhongyan bowed his head and was silent, thinking about something.
Zhao Zhen asked: "What does Fan Zaifu think?" ”
Who knew that Fan Zhongyan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the lord of Le'an County is both wise and brave, heroic and invincible, if you can be the supervisor of this battle, you can not only calm the hearts of the monarch, but also calm the hearts of the people, and you will definitely be able to boost morale and repel the Liao army!" ”
Zhao Zhen's face turned pale with anger.
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Zhao Zhen saw that it was Wen Yanbo, the governor of the political affairs, and he was even more angry.
Wen Yanbo said: "What Prime Minister Fan said is reasonable. The lord of Le'an County is famous for his martial arts, witty, and a person close to His Majesty, if he can go out with the army as a supervisor, he will be able to win and succeed! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
……
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Daqing Hall was much more relaxed and lively, and many officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the official family and Ye Pei with a smile.

The official Zhao Zhen was so angry that he couldn't say a word, so he had to say: "Let me think about it again." Retreat! With that, he turned and left the dragon seat.
------
Back at the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Zhongyi: "Go and invite Prime Minister Fan here." ”
Chen Zhong thought that Zhao Zhen's face was pale, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he ran to invite Fan Zhongyan. And Fan Zhongyan had already prepared, and he did not leave after the court meeting, and was already waiting outside the palace gate.
When Fan Zhong entered the hall, Zhao Zhen split his head and covered his face and asked, "Why did Fan Xianggong agree with Fang Yong's words and let Ye Pei go to Liao?" Don't you know how important she is to me? ”
Fan Zhong bowed down and said, "The minister is dead!" ”
"Of course you will be to blame!" Zhao Zhen slapped the table and roared, "Quickly think of a way to calm this turmoil!" ”
Fan Zhongyan knelt down unhurriedly and replied: "Your Majesty can give death to the minister, but the minister still insists that it is the best choice for the county lord of Le'an to go to the Liao State as a prison army!" ”
"You ......" Zhao Zhen pointed at Fan Zhongyan's nose angrily, not knowing what to say.
I only heard Fan Zhongyan say: "Listen to the ministers, one, the county lord's martial arts are world-famous, and one is worth a hundred; Of the two, the county lord is not only brave, but also a man of unparalleled strategy, with super military adaptability, which is enough to deal with the challenges on the battlefield. ”
"Don't praise her, she will be praised high and fall heavily."
Fan Zhongyan smiled helplessly and said, "The third party, the county lord is the most valued person by the official family, and he can go on the expedition instead of the official family, and the effect is even better than that of the royal driver!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen, who was originally angry, froze, he squinted his eyes and looked at Fan Zhongyan, and Fan Zhongyan also looked at Zhao Zhen without showing weakness.
"You mean...... Boost morale! Let Pei'er replace me? Zhao Zhen groaned, "She does have this ability!" ”
Fan Zhongyan saw that Zhao Zhen understood, and said: "Such an important war, if it is not for the royal driver's personal expedition, there must be a prince and prince to command. But now the royal family is empty, and His Majesty has nothing to show and no brothers.
At the beginning of His Majesty's pro-government, the Liao State dared to send troops lightly because the political situation was unstable. Your Majesty is not suitable for personal recruitment at this time, how many people in the royal family can be as capable as the county lord? If you don't beat the Liao State this time and stabilize the situation on the border, I'm afraid you will be restrained by him in the next few decades. ”
"But Ye Pei is a woman after all, and it is inconvenient to be in the barracks. If the war is cruel and hurts one or two, wouldn't it be ......?"
"The minister knew that His Majesty was worried, so he only recommended the county lord to accompany him as a supervisor. Traditionally, the supervising army has only been accompanied by His Majesty's eyes and ears, but there is no need to go into battle to kill the enemy, and there is not much danger, but this time it is necessary to work hard for the county lord to accompany the army, make suggestions, and discuss a good strategy for retreating from the enemy.
Moreover, the minister advised His Majesty to say that you wanted to establish the county lord of Le'an as the queen but failed, and many things were also caused by the county lord as the adopted daughter of the queen mother of Zhang Xian. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, "Well, Rong Zhen think about it again." ”
"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice."
As soon as Fan Zhongyan left, Zhao Zhen ordered, "Go, call the Lord of Le'an County to me." ”
But as soon as Chen Zhongyi walked to the door of the hall, Zhao Zhen stopped him again, "Forget it, I will go in person!" ”
Chen Zhongyi walked back to Zhao Zhen and asked, "You mean that Weifu is out of the palace?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
”
"Yes, go to the county lord's mansion!"
Zhao Zhen changed into his regular clothes and took a carriage to the front of the Le'an County Lord's Mansion. The county lord's mansion official Huang Jinbao is a person from the palace, and when he saw the official family, he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately went to inform the county lord Ye Pei.
At this time, Ye Pei had already changed into a narrow-sleeved dress to practice martial arts in the courtyard when he returned home, and Huang Jinbao just wanted to come forward to inform her, but was stopped by Zhao Zhen, who had already followed.
"Don't bother the county lord, you all go down!" Zhao Zhen stood under the corridor and looked at Ye Pei and commanded.
At this time, Ye Peizheng practiced hard, she danced the fish and dragon whip to protect herself, sometimes flying into the air like a bird, sometimes flying in place like a snake and mouse, sometimes opening and closing her arms, and sometimes becoming small, flexible and cautious. Zhao Zhen couldn't help but look fascinated.
At this time, the people in the courtyard all retreated, and the small courtyard in early summer was full of buds, warm but not dry, and the surroundings were very quiet, and only the sound of Ye Pei's fish and dragon whip dancing could be heard.
Ye Pei's martial arts posture was beautiful, like a dance, and Zhao Zhen was fascinated by it.
Ye Pei practiced for a while, collected his whip and concentrated, only to see Zhao Zhen standing under the corridor and watching himself distracted. She walked quickly to Zhao Zhen, and Shi Li said, "Le'an sees the official family." ”
Zhao Zhen put his hands around and said, "There is no one here, why should Pei'er be polite?" Then he smiled again: "You are really a bit of a female general today!" ”
A sentence reminded her of the crying appearance of throwing herself into Zhao Zhen's arms yesterday, Ye Pei couldn't help blushing. Zhao Zhen felt that Ye Pei's shy appearance was even more cute, and took out the handkerchief in his arms to wipe Ye Pei's sweat.
Ye Pei was excited, took a half step back and said, "I'll do it myself." She took the veil and bowed her head to wipe her sweat.
Zhao Zhen saw Ye Pei's crampedness, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. "I'm here for the Liao Expedition."
Ye Pei nodded, and Zhao Zhen said again: "Let's go into the house and say, you just sweated, don't suffer the wind." ”
Both of them entered the main house, and Zhao Zhen asked, "Are you really willing to go to Liao?" ”
Ye Pei replied with a firm expression: "Naturally! ”
"Then I'll give you permission to play."
Ye Pei was a little overjoyed, she looked at Zhao Zhen in disbelief.
Zhao Zhen suddenly hugged Ye Pei and said, "You must come back safely, you promised that I would always be by my side." ”
Ye Pei was caught off guard, and Zhao Zhen said, "When you come back, you will give me a prince, okay?" ”
"Sixth brother...... Ye Pei frowned, wanting to break free from Zhao Zhen's embrace, but was hugged tighter by Zhao Zhen.
"If you don't promise me, I won't let go."
Ye Pei replied vaguely, and Zhao Zhen let go of her.
But did Ye Pei really agree? She faintly felt uneasy, their love had ended as early as when Zhao Zhen married Guo Furong, they quarreled again and again, hurt each other again and again, and now she has figured it out and decided to let go, but Zhao Zhen wants to hug her tightly again.
Compared with love, Ye Pei wants to be free more at the moment. She felt the Master's admonition to her before she died, no matter how great love restricts freedom, she must abandon it without hesitation.
She wants to be a breeze blowing through the mountains, a moonlight shining on a river, a free bird in the forest, and a butterfly dancing on the stamens. She wanted to spread her wings and fly, and she felt that the wings on her back were fluttering......
