194, Met Your Majesty
As soon as her words came out, before Ah Cha could react, the other girls stopped her.
"Cher, have you really thought about it?"
"Do you know what you're up against?"
"If you really go to these princes' mansions, you will lose your life!"
They are all women who have been specially trained by the eldest princess, so they naturally know very well what kind of situation they will face once they really enter these princes' mansions.
There is intrigue everywhere, and they have to work hard to deal with these situations.
At the same time, you have to complete the task, try your best to win the favor of these princes, and then deliver the news to the eldest princess.
Every link is not easy, and it is even more difficult to put it together.
If they make a mistake, they will die at any time.
The conditions offered by the eldest princess and the goddess to complete the task are indeed very generous, but can they really have their lives?
Compared with the beauty of the future, they might as well directly pursue the stability of the present.
Why doesn't Qiu Xue know these truths.
She lifted her misty eyes, looked at each girl carefully, and spoke her heart from the bottom of her heart.
"Sisters, we have known each other for a long time, and we all regard each other as our closest friends and family."
"I believe that most of you are like me, you have been favored by the eldest princess, and you are lucky to have survived here."
"Everyone can be regarded as the one who picked up a life from the ghost gate."
"Now that you've said that, I'd like to tell my sisters about my story."
Tears flowed down from the corners of Qiu Xue's eyes in large pieces, and two extremely deep tear stains flowed.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she looked like a butterfly that was about to break at any moment.
But her words were sonorous and powerful, and the words spoke to everyone's heart.
"My father is a five-grade official, and he can be called honest and honest as an official, and the three of us brothers and sisters are together with our parents, and the family can be regarded as happy."
"But all the good things were shattered one midnight, and a team of people broke into my house, saying that my father was corrupt and that our whole family was going to prison."
"I was too young then, but I still remember the panic and the mess all over the house, and everywhere those people went, it was a mess."
"Our family's stable life was completely shattered."
"Then our family was taken to prison and spent a long time in that dark place."
"Then my father and brother will be dragged out and beheaded as men."
"At the end, my father told me that I must live, live a dignified life, and live a splendid life."
"My brother's dream since he was a child was to be an official and help the world and save the people, so he held my hand tightly and told me that I must take a good look at the world for him in the future."
"At that time, I made up my dream of becoming an official, but it is difficult for a woman to stand above the court, so how can I become a minister above the court."
"Later, my sister and I narrowly escaped death, and my mother was sent to the Huanyi Bureau, and there is no news so far."
"My sister also became seriously ill and died soon after, and I was the only one in my family."
For some reason, when she heard her words, Ah Cha's heart trembled a little.
A happy and beautiful family of five, there is only this one person left, how sad and powerless it is.
Qiu Xue gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and raised her eyes to look at each girl.
"The sisters know the later story, I was rescued by the eldest princess on that snowy autumn night, and I was lucky to survive until now."
"I know that my sisters are also kind enough to persuade me, but I really want to be an official."
"I want to inherit my brother's will, stand above the court openly, be an official as a woman, and save the world!"
After saying this, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she looked at everyone brightly.
"So sisters, I'm willing to accept this task and face this!"
Although her words were finished, every word she said was like a heavy stone that knocked on everyone's heart.
The air fell into a dull mood for a moment.
But Ah Cha clearly felt that behind Qiu Xue, there was a butterfly that had broken out of its cocoon and was being reborn, which was ushering in a new life.
"Good! For the sake of traveling all over the world in the future, I am willing to go! ”
"I'm willing to go!"
"Count me in!"
A girl stepped forward, followed by a second, a third, a fourth...... I don't know how many ......
In front of the eldest princess and Ah Cha, there were already girls around.
At a glance, it turned out that all the girls chose to stand up.
Ah Cha and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and they both saw relief and happiness in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect that everyone would take the initiative to participate in this mission when they knew that the task was difficult.
Ah Cha bowed deeply to everyone, "Thank you for your support, with your participation, I believe that this mission will be a complete success." ”
She knew very well that only these girls were standing in front of her, but behind them, there were thousands of women like them.
Women are bound to rise and create a new world.
The eldest princess also looked at each of them with tears of excitement on her face, "Girls, it's really good to have you this time." ”
Sometimes, words really can't express the excitement in your heart.
But whether it is the eldest princess or Ah Cha, or every girl present, they can understand the deep meaning.
Good is a very general adjective, but what they have to do is real.
After some emotion, we still have to return to the right path after all.
Time was running out, and there was not much time left for them to prepare.
"Girls, the flower-viewing banquet is scheduled for two days later, and you will officially meet these princes at that time."
The eldest princess brought a stack of papers out of nowhere and held it high.
"In my hands, there is a list of detailed records of each prince's personality, preferences, strengths and weaknesses, and important events in life."
"In the past two days, I need each of the girls to study in detail for a certain prince according to the content on the list."
"You must ensure that at the flower-viewing banquet in two days, you can get the blue eyes of these princes, and then be smoothly included in the palace."
The list was sent down one by one, but there was still a girl who had nothing in her hands.
Each of them had a gritty in their eyes and a sight of death.
This is the first time that I have so intuitively felt what it means to have more people and more power, and what it means to have more monks and less meat.
Even Qiu Xue didn't get the order, she blinked a pair of big eyes and looked at Ah Cha in a flash.
"What should I do, Lady Goddess?"
There was unstoppable urgency and hope in her eyes.
Ah Cha knew that she really needed this opportunity, and then after completing the task, she successfully entered the court as an official, fulfilling her brother's last wish, and also fulfilling her own long-cherished wish.
Ah Cha smiled at her and handed her a slip.
"Open it up, that's your mission."
Qiu Xue opened the list with doubts and anxiety.
The moment she saw the words on it, she was stunned.
"Goddess, this ...... Can I really do this......"
It's nothing else, it's Ah Cha and the eldest princess who have already discussed that the heavy responsibility of going to the prince's mansion will be handed over to someone with outstanding ability.
And Qiu Xue is the person they chose.
Qiu Xue has a resolute personality, is brave and strategic, and has excellent intelligence, so she is the best choice to go to the Prince's Mansion.
But Ah Cha is actually a little uncertain.
"Qiu Xue, are you really willing to go to the Prince's Mansion?"
"If you don't want to go, we won't force you, we will go again......"
Before Ah Cha could finish speaking, he looked at Qiu Xue and looked up sharply after being silent for a while.
"Nope! I'm willing to go! ”
Qiu Xue entrusted the eldest princess a long time ago and found out the real culprit who framed their family in the first place-the princelings.
Her father was framed because of his upright personality and his unwillingness to open the door for the princelings.
Even their families were ruined.
She hated the princelings, and she hated the princes even more.
If it weren't for the princelings' unscrupulous means to fight for power, then their family would not have ended up like this.
In fact, this is where Ah Cha is worried.
Ah Cha was afraid that because Qiu Xue hated the prince and hated the princelings, it would be too difficult for her to go to the prince's mansion to carry out the mission again.
But there is really no more suitable person to go to the Prince's Mansion for a mission than Qiu Xue.
If Qiuxue didn't want to go, she would understand.
But Qiu Xue's answer once again surprised her.
"Goddess, I'll go! And I'll definitely complete this mission! ”
She and the Prince's Mansion are not in the same place, and they must not miss this opportunity.
No matter what, she must complete the task and make the princelings and the prince pay for their blood debts.
Let them go underground and confess to their dead parents, brothers, and sisters!
Seeing her expression, Ah Cha also counted, and she walked over and patted Qiu Xue on the shoulder.
"Okay, I trust you."
Unlike here, Ah Cha and the eldest princess were preparing with these women, and in the palace, the emperor finally finished bathing.
After this day of torture, the emperor felt that his bones were about to fall apart.
Whoever you kneel for an hour and a half in one day, bathe in powerful herbs for two hours, and only use a vegetarian meal, you must be devastated.
And the emperor is now on the verge of this collapse.
He finally had time to relax, and remembered the methods and matters explained by the goddess, and he couldn't do things like men and women, so he barely suppressed the desire in his heart and was ready to rest.
But there are always those who don't have a long eye to come to the door at this time.
The personal eunuch hurriedly came to report.
"Your Majesty, the staff around the crown prince ask to see me."
The Prince's staff?
The emperor frowned tightly and thought seriously for a long time.
No way.
He remembered that the staff around the prince was not small, but they were all recruited by the prince himself, and they had nothing to do with himself, the emperor.
And when the prince's staff saw him, they always hid when they could, and they didn't want to see him at all.
The emperor is also a person from the past in these situations, and he can understand it.
The prince's staff supports the prince, contributes to the prince, and serves the next generation of emperors.
All these staff want is to work from the dragon.
But for today's crown prince's staff who took the initiative to see him, the emperor really won't.
He struggled for a moment and waved his hand.
"That's it, I'm too tired today, so I won't see him."
He didn't have much interest in the staff under the crown prince, so it was better not to see him.
The personal eunuch got the order and immediately went out to spread the word.
But he was denied.
"No, my father-in-law will help me pass it on again, I really have something important to see Your Majesty." Uncle Jiang's face was full of stubbornness, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse.
But the emperor's order has already come down, and the personal eunuchs don't dare to disobey it easily.
"Uncle Jiang, according to the old slave, you better go back first, Your Majesty is tired and ready to rest."
"If you insist on being here again, Your Majesty won't see you."
The personal eunuch told the truth.
But obviously Uncle Jiang didn't listen to it at all.
"Father-in-law, I'm sorry for you to help spread the word again, Your Majesty just needs to see me for a while!"
Uncle Jiang was a little excited when he said it, and he almost jumped up with excitement.
He carefully considered it for a long time in the prince's mansion before entering the palace.
He knew very well that among the candidates recommended by the prince for the commander of the forbidden army, many of them were recommended by Zhang Ming.
If he was chosen by the emperor, Zhang Ming's status in the prince's heart would be greatly improved, and he would never have a bright future.
So he had to stop that from happening.
And directly entering the palace to recommend himself to the emperor is the simplest and most direct method he can think of.
In fact, he secretly used the token given to him by the prince before to enter the palace to ask for a meeting, so he could enter the palace so smoothly.
But if he returns to the prince's mansion without finding anything, and his theft of the prince's token is also exposed, then what awaits him is the prince's unbearable anger.
Now, he has only one way to choose.
Uncle Jiang pursed his lips stiffly, pushed away the personal eunuch, kowtowed madly, and shouted loudly.
"The prince's staff asks to see His Majesty!"
"The prince's staff asks to see His Majesty!"
"Minister......
His movement was too great, and it disturbed the purity of the emperor, who was already on the bed and ready to rest.
"Brute!"
"How dare you shout outside my palace!"
The emperor not only scolded angrily, but also did not stop the movements of his hands, and smashed the cup of tea in his hand very simply.
"Smack-"
The crisp sound of the tea cup falling to the ground is even louder in this huge hall.
Qingxin's eye waves flowed slightly, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence.
She still didn't want the Dog Emperor to spread his anger on herself.
And she also knows very well that the show is about to begin.
Sure enough, the emperor had no result after some struggles, so he could only choose to see Uncle Jiang.
"Announce him in!"
When he said this, the emperor was visibly angry.
He really couldn't understand why this person had to see him in the middle of the night.
But Uncle Jiang was summoned, but he didn't care what the emperor thought, he just knelt in front of the emperor honestly.
"The prince's staff has seen Your Majesty."
"Humph!"
The Emperor gave him a disdainful look, and quickly looked away.
raised a staff member who wanted to meet his staff in the middle of the night, and the prince was really good.
After the emperor made a note in his heart, he slowly spoke.
"What do you mean by shouting outside the palace gate in the middle of the night, do you have to meet me face to face?"
The emperor's anger could no longer be concealed, and even his words trembled.
It is better for this prince's staff to really have something to find him, otherwise he will not let him and the prince go.
Uncle Jiang is a good person, and of course he can hear the deep meaning of the emperor's words.
He bowed his body and spoke very respectfully.
"The minister has something important to say to meet His Majesty."
Important, important, but I can't hold back a specific thing for a long time.
There is a limit to the Emperor's patience.
He glared at Uncle Jiang angrily, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”
If he didn't say anything, then Hugh would blame him for being unkind.
Uncle Jiang was also very aware of the emperor's current anger value, and he didn't dare to provoke the emperor, so he directly explained his intention.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to come to Mao Sui to recommend himself to serve as the commander of the forbidden army."
Duty? Or as the commander of the forbidden army?
The emperor didn't even bother to be angry, and stared at him with wide eyes.
No, with Uncle Jiang's thin figure, let alone whether his martial arts are strong or not, I'm afraid he doesn't even have martial arts, so he still wants to be the commander of the forbidden army.
But Uncle Jiang didn't dodge, and generously let the emperor look at it.
It was only at the moment when he met the emperor's gaze that he said what he thought.
"Your Majesty, there is a reason for the minister to recommend himself, but can you let this maid step back first, and Rong Zhen will explain slowly to Your Majesty."
Uncle Jiang has been waiting for the emperor to retreat and clear his heart.
But the emperor didn't seem to see it, and he didn't notice the existence of Qingxin at all.
Uncle Jiang really couldn't wait any longer before he brought it up directly.
After his words, the emperor also moved his gaze to Qingxin.
Suddenly received two burning glances, and Qingxin felt very unaccustomed.
But remembering the goddess's explanation, she still stood in place with a blank face, indifferent to these glances.
The emperor struggled for a while before he spoke: "Pure heart female official, you see that I want to have a secret conversation with Uncle Jiang, and you stand ......."
Qingxin said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, the minister is here on the order of the goddess, in order to be able to rely on the divine power in the body to prolong the life of Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is ......"
Before she could finish her words, the emperor compromised.
"Okay, well, the innocent female officer will stay here."
After the emperor made a decision, he didn't forget to inform Uncle Jiang of the reason.
"It's okay, the innocent-hearted female officer is a person I trust, and she won't chew the root of her tongue, just say what you have to say."
In fact, as early as the title of goddess, Uncle Jiang's eyebrows jumped.
Qingxin is the person arranged by the goddess, and if he can stay with the emperor, then the content of his conversation with the emperor tonight will be leaked out no matter what.
It seems that he really has only one way to go, success.
After Uncle Jiang did a good job of psychological construction for himself, he didn't sell it anymore, and directly said the reason why he recommended himself.
"Your Majesty, although the minister is the prince's staff, it is your majesty who is all about it."
"The minister assisted the prince before, but he just wanted to make suggestions for the great plans of the world, and at the same time praise the merits of His Majesty while benefiting the people."
Not to mention, the Dog Emperor was already smiling with wrinkles on his face when he heard this.
He is too sloppy and patting horses, complimenting him, and singing praises for him.
I have to say that Uncle Jiang's sycophant is really right.
At least the emperor was so excited that he nodded again and again.
"That makes sense, go ahead."
It's all this time, and the patience of the Dog Emperor can be regarded as returning.
Qingxin saw that the corners of his mouth twitched on the side, and his contempt for the emperor also increased a few points.
"Your Majesty, although the minister is a staff member, he has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, up to the Four Books and Five Classics, down to the biographies of the characters, the ministers all know everything, and they can barely be regarded as well-read."
When it comes to putting gold on himself, Uncle Jiang is still so cheeky that no one can match.
"Therefore, the minister also has an in-depth understanding of the military book, and he is proficient in arranging troops."
"The minister thinks that the most important thing for a forbidden army commander is to be able to arrange troops and have the ability to guard the imperial city and protect His Majesty's safety."
"The minister thinks that at this point, the minister is competent."
His words were indeed very impressive, but the Dog Emperor was not really a fool and would completely believe him.
"You say it very well, and I admire you very much, but how are you martial arts? Can you meet the criteria for being the commander of the forbidden army? ”
The royal family has always had a specific standard for the martial arts of the forbidden army.
And the most basic criterion is to defeat more than half of the soldiers in the barracks with the military function of the commander of the forbidden army.
Only such a person can barely be called qualified to guard the safety of the emperor.
Otherwise, if you find a waste who doesn't know anything about martial arts, and you will slip away first when the emperor is in danger, it will be a big mistake.
Regarding the royal family's criteria for choosing the commander of the forbidden army, Uncle Jiang naturally knew it.
But the opportunity is earned by oneself, not waited.
"Your Majesty, the minister said truthfully, the minister does not know martial arts."
"But the minister thinks that compared with the martial arts, being good at recognizing people and using talents is the most important."
His view aroused the emperor's interest.
"Oh? Why? ”
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there are often thousands of horses, and Bole is not often, the minister is the capital of that Bole, although he has no martial arts, but the minister can be good at discovering real martial arts strong people."
"Professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, ministers don't know martial arts, but ministers can find real martial arts people to serve His Majesty."
"In this way, Your Majesty's safety can be guaranteed, and the minister can also find more people with strong martial arts for Your Majesty."
"At that time, Your Majesty will be surrounded by talented people, why worry about the ministers who don't know martial arts?"
Don't say it, just his words really speak to the emperor's heart.
Between a strong martial guard and a group of strong martial guards, no emperor would refuse the latter.
Not to mention the dog emperor, who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
After listening to the reason explained by Uncle Jiang, he only felt that it was very reasonable.
In the future, the safety of the imperial city can also be guarded by someone, and this person can also recruit more helpers for himself.
The most important thing is that Uncle Jiang made it very clear that although he was the prince's staff, he was devoted to himself.
Compared with the candidates recommended by the court for the commander of the forbidden army, the emperor is more willing to choose Uncle Jiang, who has no background and is a staff member.
He was silent for a while, then looked at Uncle Jiang steadily.
"Okay, I'll make you the commander of the forbidden army!"
