Chapter 51: The Order of Grace
Compared with the huge contrast of Qi State, the other five countries have a taste of schadenfreude, and Qi Country has not been less nostrils looking at people in front of them since the Qi State became a dominant family.
Especially in the neighboring state of Chu, the two countries constantly regard each other as enemies due to border friction and war, and this time when they heard that the state of Qi actually lost 500,000 troops, the gloating people in the court almost didn't laugh at the back of their heads.
Chu.
Above the Golden Palace.
The five-year-old little emperor Chu Shuai sat on the dragon chair bored, he didn't seem to understand why the group of old guys below were laughing so happily, he just wanted to end it quickly and go back to make up for sleep.
Behind him, in the faint bead curtain, a graceful and luxurious woman can be vaguely seen.
"You don't know what you think?" The woman in the bead curtain asked with a Miao Miao voice.
"Empress Dowager Qi, to be honest, I really didn't expect that the Ming Kingdom would be able to defeat the Qi State this time, not only destroying his 500,000 army, but also capturing the two great war gods and the three princes of the Qi State, with the strength shown by the Ming State, we should send envoys to form an alliance with the Qi State, especially the new Zhenguo General Chen Hu of the Ming State, this person is not only extraordinary, but also uses soldiers like a god, we should explore the truth." A minister admonished.
"Queen Mother, I think what the Imperial Doctor said is good, not only that, we have to be more vigilant, the emperor of Qi is not a good stubble, now he has suffered a big loss on the side of the Ming State, the morale of the Ming State is high, he does not dare to use troops easily, and the Ming State from all indications, it is just a strong foreign force, otherwise why did not take this opportunity to get back the Dragon Tooth Pass, so Weichen feels that there will be no more war and friction between the Qi State and the Ming State for the time being, and at this time, the State of Qi will definitely use troops against the State of Chu and take the opportunity to restore the morale of the State of Qi." A military general said loudly.
"What the two of you said is the worry of the mourning family, my Chu State and Qi State are not like Qi State and Ming State have natural dangers to defend, if Qi State is menacing, we must make all preparations as soon as possible."
"General Tianwu, the war with the Qi State will be a burden on you, as for ...... Candidates for the Ming Kingdom, can all Aiqing have suitable people? The woman behind the beaded curtain asked.
"Queen Mother, Weichen is willing to send an envoy to Mingguo, but Weichen has a reluctant request, can you let Princess Xiangxiang go together, Weichen heard that Princess Xiangxiang is eighteen, poetry and poetry are gifted and rare peerless beauties, this trip is a rare opportunity to learn, and you can also take this opportunity to seek a good son-in-law." Doctor Yu Shi bowed and said.
"Doctor Yushi, you have another meaning." The Queen Mother asked.
"I heard that Zhu Yuanjie, the new emperor of the Ming Kingdom, has never been married, if he can make friends with him, then he is the justifiable Empress of the Ming Kingdom, and Chen Hu, the general of the Zhenguo, is a rare talent." The imperial envoy said with a smile.
"You mean, no matter who it is, it won't lose Xiangxiang, and you can still marry Mingguo forever?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Yes and no, it is rumored that Chen Hu and Zhu Yuanjie are both extremely unscrupulous people, especially obsessed with beauty, if the two have a gap because of Princess Xiangxiang, and the monarch and the minister are not in harmony...... "Doctor Yu Shi said softly.
"If the monarch and the ministers are not in harmony, Chen Hu will naturally be excluded, the Ming Dynasty has lost this Zhenguo general, which is equivalent to not far from the death of the country, when the country is gone, he will naturally have nowhere to go, and Xiangxiang is a native of my Chu State, if he comes to the Chu State, with his talent, will we still be afraid of the Qi State, think about it, the soldiers of the Ming State are not half of the level of my Chu State, but they can turn decay into magic in their hands, and only at the cost of losing 100 people, they will take down 500,000 horses and horses of Qi State, and capture the commander of the three armies alive, this kind of talent can be called a peerless general!" The Queen Mother then added.
"The Queen Mother is wise."
"Doctor Yushi, you are solely responsible for this visit to Mingguo, and Princess Xiangxiang will accompany you." Behind the bead curtain, the graceful and luxurious figure, the shocking beauty of the face emerged and a touching smile, at that moment it seemed that the world was eclipsed, only the eternal peerless face.
……
Twenty days later.
Chen Hu returned to the imperial capital of the Ming Kingdom.
Along the way, the people were too enthusiastic, treating him completely as a god's residence, applauding him for his merits and virtues, and even using his sculptures to build temples in many places to worship forever.
The significance of this victory brought by Chen Hu is far-reaching, and it makes the people, especially those who have been displaced by the Qi State, breathe a bad sigh of anger.
In addition to the people, officials from all over the country are even more stammering with Chen Hu, but looking at so many simple people, Chen Hu couldn't bear it, and with a wave of the butcher's knife, he killed many corrupt officials and corrupt officials along the way, which won the praise and praise of the people even more.
Many young people were about to follow Chen Hu to fight on the battlefield, and Chen Hu carefully selected a group to join the government soldiers, and the original 500 men and horses were directly expanded to 2,000 people.
And the Nine Kings, when they saw the five hundred energetic and high-morale government soldiers led by Chen Hu, gave countless gifts, and tried their best to explain that he really had no intention of rebellion.
Chen Hu smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, the Nine Kings can rebel if you want, and when the time comes, I will only bring five hundred soldiers to play with you." ”
"General Zhenguo, I really don't want to rebel, you must not believe those rumors outside."
The Nine Kings originally had the intention to rebel, but this time Chen Hu easily wiped out the 500,000 army of the Qi State, and arrested the two great war gods of the Qi State, and also set up a prince, looking at the five hundred people under Chen Hu's hands, the murderous spirit, that look like a flood beast Yes, now even if he borrows ten guts, he will not dare to rebel.
"Hehe, in this case, the Nine Kings are now in their sixties, why don't you enjoy the joy of family and make room for your children and grandchildren, as the saying goes, the palms and backs of your hands are meat, and your fiefdom property will be inherited by all your sons and daughters, how about it?" Chen Hu said with a smile.
"This ...... This, since ancient times, the rule is to pass on the eldest son, how can it ...... How can they all be inherited together? The Nine Kings said unwillingly.
"This is exactly the emperor's order to implement, the emperor's grace is vast, the emperor hopes that the younger generations can strive for self-improvement and everyone will work together to build the great Ming Kingdom, I hope you can understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, presumably your children and granddaughters are very much in favor of this grace." After Chen Hu finished speaking, he took the benefits and left the fiefdom of the Nine Princes.
Within two days, there was an infighting in the family of the Nine Princes, and it took half a month to calm down, this time it was good, even if the Nine Princes wanted to rebel, they were more than enough to stand up, and his more than 20 children directly divided his territory into more than 20 pieces, one person and one heart, how could they unite to rebel.
The Nine Kings Force, which was a headache, was easily solved by Chen Hu in this way, which made the people in the court even more afraid of Chen Hu.
This Zhenguo general really eats people without spitting out bones, kills people without blinking, moves his wrists casually, it is bloody and bloody, and any problem is always so simple in his eyes.
