Chapter 499 0499 The Art of Checks and Balances
How could Tuoba Hao be unwilling? It was not that the position of the secretary of the military department treated him badly, but that the affairs he handled as the secretary were too cumbersome, which gave him a headache. And he was originally a military general, and there was no better place for him to stay than the frontier or the battlefield.
Therefore, Mei'er made this arrangement, Tuoba Hao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is willing, so willing!" Weichen is willing to spill blood for His Majesty and throw his head, at any cost! I am willing to guard the border forever for Your Majesty, so as to protect the foundation of Beiyi for thousands of generations! ”
Mei'er couldn't help but hook her lips slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, and teased: "Thousands of generations? Hehe, the general is really good at laughing, if it is going to be thousands of generations, you and I will not know where the ancients have gone? How can you defend your home and country? ”
Tuoba Hao was slightly stunned, and when he saw that Her Majesty the Empress of the country was so beautiful that she was about to vomit to death with peony flowers, she immediately couldn't help laughing. However, he stubbornly replied: "Your Majesty, even if you are dead, you must bury Wechen on the frontier, and Wechen's soul will also defend your Majesty's homeland!" ”
"Good!" Mei'er couldn't help but smile and praise, "Aiqing is really loyal, if he makes meritorious contributions in the future, I will make you a loyal martyr." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Tuoba Hao was overjoyed and sincerely thanked Mei'er for her kindness.
"Let's lead the troops and set off soon, and on the day of departure, I will send my own people to the city gate. Now, please step aside, Xiao Manman, Ziyu, and Ziyan, you can also get even. ”
"Yes, yes!" Tuoba Hao ordered to retreat.
Luo Yi looked at Tuoba Hao's swaggering appearance, and then looked back at Mei'er's flower-like smile, and began to understand that all this may not be as simple as he thought at first.
The Mei'er he loves with all his heart, the Mei'er he taught since he was a child, will it be such a not simple character? Is it true that she is innocent, her helplessness? Or is it fundamental, she already has a plan in her heart.
She didn't know that her appointment, Tuoba Hao's father and son, Xiao Manman, Ziyu, and Ziyan would all be grateful to her and willing to work for her. Tuoba Hao directly took away 300,000 troops, which is almost half of the Beiyi army. Coupled with Tuoba Xuan's command of 100,000 forbidden troops, then their father and son have 400,000 troops, which is enough to compete with Luo Yi, a great general.
Could it be that this is the emperor's art of checks and balances?
Did Mei'er deliberately do this, to give her, the master and her queen mother, a dismount, or did she inadvertently create this situation?
No! It won't be unintentional! What does she seem to be proclaiming?
Luo Yijun's face was covered with frost, and a cold light flashed through his narrow Danfeng eyes. He was deeply disturbed, why was he so unaware? From the moment Mei'er announced a series of decrees on her own without asking him and Empress Dowager Luo's opinions, he should have noticed it.
Luo Yi stood up and said goodbye to Mei'er: "Your Majesty, Weichen must complete the task assigned by His Majesty, so he will retire first!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Mei'er to ask him to calm down. He deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction, so Mei'er was stunned when she looked at the back of her master.
Almost at the same time, Empress Dowager Luo also stood up and said, "Mei'er, Yao'er has been sent back to you, and the mourning family will go back to the palace to rest first." ”
"The queen walks slowly!" Mei'er stood up to see her off.
Empress Dowager Luo looked comfortable, but her footsteps were hurried, and she kept chasing out, passing through two courtyards and two squares, before she caught up with Luo Yi on a long corridor.
"Stop!" Empress Dowager Luo stopped in front of him, "Are you angry with Mei'er?" Yi'er. ”
Luo Yi turned around, avoiding his gaze and not looking at Empress Dowager Luo.
Empress Dowager Luo sighed: "The mourning family knows that as soon as Tuoba Hao's father and son are reused, your influence will become smaller. Now, the strength of their father and son is almost about to compete with Yi'er. Yi'er's mood can be understood by her aunt! ”
"What if you can understand? Can you change Mei'er's decision? Can she get the Thirty Army back for me? Can you let him think about his feelings as a master for a moment? At the very least, shouldn't she have asked us for our opinion before making such a decision? Luo Yi was really annoyed this time.
