113. Resignation, arrogance (ask for subscription)
Yongshan King added 500,000 new soldiers??
Above the court, everyone's faces were a little calm when they heard this.
Yongzhou's silver-armored army already had 800,000, plus these 500,000 recruits, a total of 1.3 million troops.
What does King Nagayama want to do?
The empress's face remained unchanged, but a solemn look flashed in her eyes.
With more than one million troops, King Yongshan did violate the ancestral teachings set by Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"The demon clan in southern Xinjiang is about to move, and the king of Yongshan has increased his troops by one million, just to prevent the demon clan army from raiding the territory of the Great Zhou, Qin Lao Mo wants to be suspicious and suspicious, and provoke the relationship between me and the six emperor uncles."
"Your Majesty, the old minister is definitely not ......!"
"Okay, let's turn this matter over for the time being, is there anything else?"
The empress interrupted Qin Zhong's words, her phoenix eyes swept towards everyone, and she continued: "If there is nothing else to do, then retreat from the dynasty." ”
Hearing this, everyone bowed and saluted.
Until the empress left completely with people.
Qin Zhongcai raised his head, his old face was a little dignified.
It is said that the empress wishes that the king of Yongshan would disappear from this world, why did he discuss this matter three times and twice, but the empress defended the king of Yongshan everywhere?
Or did the empress have another purpose?
Walking out of the Taiji Palace, I saw that next to the big red pillar, Cao Dachun coughed lightly.
Qin Zhong looked at it with heavy eyebrows, and then walked over slowly: "Cao Gong has something to do with the old man?" ”
"Our family has seen the Marquis of Zhongyong."
Cao Dachun spoke slowly, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Qin Zhong could hear it, glanced at Cao Dachun, and then looked at the civil and military ministers who were slowly leaving the Taiji Palace, and said coldly: "If Gong Cao has anything to say, just say it." ”
"Our family has been unwell, I haven't had tea with Zhongyong Hou for a long time, today I feel a little more comfortable, I want to invite Zhongyong Hou to sit in Chengxuansi."
Cao Dachun spoke slowly.
Qin Zhong frowned for a moment and said, "Then go to Chengxuansi to sit down, and by the way, taste the Jade Guanyin treasured by Cao Gong." ”
Cao Dachun swallowed slowly: "Marquis Zhongyong, please!" ”
Kou Shize walked out of the Taiji Hall and watched Qin Zhong and Cao Dachun leave together, he snorted coldly and headed towards Yongle Palace.
In addition to the Taiji Palace, the empress works in the main hall of Yongle Palace.
Yongle Palace.
When Kou Shize saw the empress, he bowed and saluted: "The old minister Kou Shize sees Your Majesty." ”
The empress glanced at Kou Shize, who was haggard, and said coldly: "Just above the court, I asked, why didn't you keep silent?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it is a state affair to discuss it in the court, and the old minister wants to talk about some private matters when he comes to His Majesty."
When Kou Shize spoke, he glanced at Lu Ning on the side, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Private?"
The empress's phoenix eyes flashed slightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
Kou Shize nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this is the case, the death of the old minister's son Kou Wei, the murderer is still at large, and his wife has been ill for more than a month." ”
"Coupled with the assassination of the old minister, now the lady is in a trance and urgently needs treatment."
"The old minister wants to resign from the position of the right attendant of the military department, and take his wife to the Northern Immortal Sect to visit the predecessors of the medical immortals, and ask for medical treatment and save people."
The empress, Lu Ning and others were a little surprised.
Kou Shize actually took the initiative to resign as the right attendant of the Ministry of War, although he has been pressed by Pei Tong, but he is also a real power position, controlling the 10,000 garrisons in Beijing, will he resign if he says he will resign?
The empress didn't agree to Kou Shize, but asked, "The Demon Suppression Division hasn't tracked down the murderer yet?" ”
Kou Shize clenched his fists fiercely and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to participate in the Demon Suppression Si Si Zheng Gu Fengtang, he is in his position and does not act, otherwise the murderer would have been tracked down long ago." ”
The empress nodded secretly: "I have just ascended the throne, and Gu Sizheng is also busy, so he may not have time to take care of it." Besides, this case, isn't there still Jingzhou Mansion investigating it? ”
Jingzhou Mansion?
Kou Shize sneered in his heart, the Demon Suppression Division couldn't track it down, and a Jingzhou Mansion was even more clueless.
"The old minister has made up his mind, and I hope that His Majesty will grant it." Kou Shize's resignation was resolute.
He knew very well in his heart that as the right attendant of the military department, he had been pressed by Pei Tong, and although he controlled 30,000 troops, he had no power to mobilize at all.
He was able to mobilize only 3,000 men.
Three thousand people will not succeed.
And sitting in the position of the right waiter, he is still guarded against every day, which is too uncomfortable.
It's better to take the initiative to resign, and you can still retain the identity of Wu'anhou.
Gradually, it will fade out of the sight of the civil and military ministers.
In this way, he can do more.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, did Kou Shize want to protect himself, or did he have another purpose?
The empress pondered for a long time and said: "I promise you for the time being, after going to the Ministry of Officials to register, I will make a handover, and I will not have to go to court in the future." ”
"Old minister, thank you!"
Kou Shize hurriedly bowed down, and then turned around and left Yongle Palace.
"Why did he resign, you say?"
It wasn't until Kou Shize was far away from Yongle Palace that the empress slowly asked.
"Protect yourself."
"Maybe I don't want to assist Your Majesty."
"It must be that you can't win against Qin Zhong, and you don't want to be an official in the same dynasty as him."
Bai Xue, Bai Wei, and Pei Tianbei said separately.
The empress looked at Lu Ning and said, "Chang'an, what about you." ”
Lu Ning groaned and said, "Maybe you want to dilute everyone's sight." ”
After hearing this, the empress smiled and said nothing.
……
Department of Undertaking Publicity.
Qin Zhong drank three cups of tea in a row, but he didn't see Cao Dachun say a word.
"Cao Gong, this tea is almost out of taste, just say it if you have anything to say." Qin Zhong stared at Cao Dachun with heavy eyebrows.
After Cao Dachun coughed lightly, he said slowly: "Since he was named a loyal and brave marquis by the new emperor, Qin Ge Lao's patience is gone. ”
Qin Zhong's old eyes flashed: "It's not that the old man is impatient, but the affairs are busy, and he has to hurry up, otherwise His Majesty will blame him, and the old man can't afford it!" ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know if I think so in my heart?" Cao Dachun swallowed slowly.
Qin Zhong's brows sank: "What does Gong Cao mean by this?" ”
Cao Dachun coughed lightly: "Since you have Your Majesty in your heart, then you should try your best to participate in the King of Yongshan, if you are not strong enough, then drive the ministers to participate collectively, so that Your Majesty must pay attention to it." ”
"Otherwise, when the Yongshan King is over and breaks through the Jingzhou, the first person to kill at that time is afraid that you Qin Pavilion Lao."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Qin Zhong's eyes, Cao Dachun was the one who fully supported the King of Yongshan before, but he didn't think that in just over a month, people would change.
The old eunuch is really unreliable.
"There is a reminder from Lao Cao Gong, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he has his own decision in his heart."
With that, Qin Zhong stood up and said in a deep voice: "If Gong Cao has nothing else to do, the old man will leave." ”
"Ahem......!"
Cao Dachun coughed lightly and swallowed slowly: "Our family wants to raise a sand moon night flower, I heard that the old man planted it, can you give it to our family." ”
Qin Zhong's eyes condensed slightly when he heard this, and then he shook his head:
"What kind of sand moon night flowers, the old man doesn't understand, and he hasn't planted them."
Cao Dachun said slowly:
"Pavilion is always confused, eight years ago, you personally told our family that the envoys of the Shaluo Kingdom gave you three rare sand moon night flowers, which are among the flowers in your mansion, what's the matter? Do you have to remind you? ”
Qin Zhong sneered and shook his head and said, "Gong Cao is old, his memory is really good, the flowers of eight years ago have long since withered and died. ”
"Cao Gong wants, it just so happens that the princess of the Shaluo Kingdom lives in the Honglu Temple, so he can send someone to ask for one."
"The old man is busy with official business, so he won't drink tea, farewell!"
As he spoke, Qin Zhong strode towards the outside of Chengxuan Division.
Cao Dachun got up slowly, stared at Qin Zhong's back, and coughed lightly.
After a while, a figure slowly walked out of the inner hall of the Chengxuan Division, it was Si Zheng Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang also stared at Qin Zhong's back as he left, and it wasn't until the latter completely disappeared that he looked at Cao Dachun and smiled, "There is Lao Cao Gong." ”
Cao Dachun also smiled: "Lord Si Zheng is polite, I don't know what this sand moon night flower is, so that Lord Si Zheng cares so much?" ”
Gu Fengtang smiled and said: "It is a strange flower that will only bloom on a moonlit night, I heard that the moon blooms and the day fails, and the flower blooms overnight, it can compete with the bright moon, the fragrance is endless, and it is very magical." ”
Cao Dachun nodded and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there are such magical flowers in this world." ”
"Eight years ago, our family heard Qin Zhong mention it once, but I didn't care about it at the time, I knew it was so magical, and I should have taken a look."
Gu Fengtang didn't answer again, and after chuckling, he hugged his fist at Cao Dachun and walked out of Chengxuansi quickly.
Cao Dachun walked to the door of the hall, and then watched Gu Fengtang move away as quickly as the wind.
……
Wu'an Hou Mansion.
After Kou Shize registered and handed over to the Ministry of Officials, he returned to the mansion and ordered people to hurry up and prepare, planning to leave on the same day and go to the Northern Immortal Sect for medical treatment.
The old man surnamed Ji and Wei Ying didn't expect that Kou Shize really resigned as the right attendant of the military department, even if he could only mobilize 3,000 people, in this imperial city of Beijing and Zhou, it would also make the civil and military ministers very jealous.
Now that there is no such three-grade official body, there is only an empty identity of 'Wu'an Hou', who cares?
"Don't sigh!"
Kou Shize said coldly: "It's just a third-grade right servant, don't do it, without this official body, no one will care about Benhou." ”
"Fade out of people's sight, Ben Hou can make a difference."
Hearing this, the old man surnamed Ji and Wei Ying nodded secretly.
"Hurry up and prepare, and leave Jingzhou first." Kou Shize waved his hand and said.
If you don't have an official, you don't have to report to anyone wherever you want to go, you can just go.
Wei Ying nodded and said, "Master Hou, my subordinates have been waiting in Guanshan for three days and three nights, and they haven't seen the old madman, I don't know if someone has an accident." ”
Kou Shize's eyes flashed slightly: "The old madman is the tenth person on the list of combat power, and the only person in this world who can kill him is the person on the Tianzi list." ”
"If there is no deep hatred, the people on the Tianzi list will not easily kill the old madman."
"Maybe the old madman has something else going on."
Wei Ying nodded, then bowed away.
The old man surnamed Ji frowned and said, "Master Hou, are you still making a move against the Lu family?" ”
A cold color flashed in Kou Shize's eyes: "You alone, you can't help Lan Yunhui at all, so let's stop for a while and go to the Northern Immortal Sect first." ”
His wife is seriously ill, and there is no sign of improvement when she asks the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and if she continues like this, she doesn't know if she can survive this winter.
The old man surnamed Ji turned around and went to prepare.
Just after noon, a luxury carriage and more than a dozen people left from the back gate of the Wu'an Hou Mansion and headed towards the north gate of the city.
The news soon reached the ears of the empress.
The empress stared at the outside of the main hall, and the corners of her mouth raised lightly: "Beimang should be able to get the news soon." ”
When Kou Shize left Jingzhou, the person who wanted to kill him the most was Beimang.
After all, in the Battle of Yunlu that year, Kou Shize killed Beimang's 100,000 Tiefutu, even in the past forty years, Beimang still did not forget his hatred, and vowed to kill Kou Shize to avenge the 100,000 Tiefutu.
Lu Ning leaned into the empress's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to get rid of him?" ”
The empress shook her head: "Kou Shize dares to go out of Beijing and Zhou, he must have calculated it, everything is under his control, if you go to hunt him down, you will only fall into his trap." ”
I added in my heart: Just let Beimang deal with it.
"Play chess with me." The empress turned around and said.
Lu Ning stared back at her back, and followed quickly for a moment.
Following.
Winter Moon Twenty-Seven.
The empress summoned the envoys of the five countries of the Western Regions in the Chengtian Palace, accompanied by Qin Zhong and other civil and military officials.
The princess of the Shaluo Kingdom covered her face with a silk scarf, her light blue eyes were very beautiful, and as for the language, it was the same as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Ning could understand it.
Princess Sharo's name is Luo Yuena.
She first visited the empress, praised the empress, then deeply regretted the death of Emperor Ming Wu, and finally offered some strange things such as purple coral trees and clams brought from the Kingdom of Shaluo.
Then there was the prince of the Moyun Kingdom, dressed in gold and with many braids on his head, which was a bit similar to the prince of Beimang, named Mo Heng.
The prince of the Huotuo Kingdom, wearing a fiery red robe, looked arrogant, since he walked into the Chengtian Palace, he didn't look at the empress very much, and he said a few words when he met him.
The prince of the Star Wolf Kingdom was even more excessive and arrogant: "Isn't there a prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Letting a princess be the emperor seems to be really declining. ”
Hearing this, the civil and military ministers showed angry expressions and reprimanded the Star Wolf Prince for being too arrogant.
The Star Wolf Prince didn't care, and looked around at everyone with wolf-like eyes: "Is this prince wrong?" May I ask if a princess comes to be the emperor, after a hundred years, how to make the Great Zhou Dynasty continue? ”
"Is it passed on to her son, or to the rest of the royal family?"
The crowd was dumbfounded.
This is indeed a big problem, they have thought about it for a long time, but they just didn't dare to speak.
After Qin Zhong glanced at the empress, he said in a deep voice: "This is a state affair of the Great Zhou, and it is not the turn of the Star Wolf Prince to care, the Star Wolf Prince should be concerned about how the Star Wolf Kingdom can stop the barbarian invasion, this is the right matter." ”
The Star Wolf Prince's face sank when Qin Zhong said it, and then changed the topic.
He didn't praise the empress, but on behalf of the Star Wolf Kingdom, he deeply regretted the death of Emperor Ming Wu, and a generation of wise and martial emperors quietly left.
The last kingdom is the most difficult of the Western Regions kingdoms to attack.
There were no princes and princesses in the Fire Kingdom, and it was a young envoy who looked at his thirties and gave people a very gentle feeling.
Seeing the Star Wolf Prince sitting down, he hurriedly got up, and after praising the empress, he also expressed deep regret for the death of Emperor Ming Wu on behalf of the Fire Kingdom, and finally sent the rare treasures brought from the Fire Kingdom.
The luncheon is set up in the Chengtian Palace, singing and dancing with wine, and the atmosphere is okay.
Only the Star Wolf Prince looked down on the civil and military ministers with a look of disdain.
When the wine is half-drunk.
The Star Wolf Prince put down the golden bottle, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the empress above, and said in a deep voice: "The empress of the Great Zhou, what is the point of this song and dance, the Great Zhou opened the country with martial arts, and this prince has a martial artist sitting down, and he has always wanted to see the strength of the martial arts powerhouse of the Great Zhou." ”
"This time I happened to come to Beijing with this prince, why not let this prince open his eyes and use martial arts to help the fun."
The voice fell, and only a loud 'bang' was heard.
From the door of the main hall.
Everyone looked at the heavy voice, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly.
……
……
There are few updates, and they are all ordered more than a thousand! According to the agreement, I owe everyone a change (4000 words).
Recently, I have been busy, and when I have been busy for this time, I will update the eight thousand on the basis of making up for the shortcomings.
