Chapter 8: Changing the Commander of the Praetorian Guard

The council hall was silent for a moment.

The courtiers stared wide-eyed, you look at me, I look at you, overwhelmed.

Everyone knows that this empress is incompetent, and they never expected her to revitalize Da Yao, but they didn't expect her to be lazy like this, and now even the early dynasty can be perfunctory?

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Gu Qingyue only thought that they really had nothing to do.

When sleepiness hit, Gu Qingyue yawned, put her hands on her knees, and was about to get up.

"Your Majesty." Taifu stepped out of the team and stepped forward, "The minister has this book." ”

Helpless, Gu Qingyue could only turn around and lean forward, put her right hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "What is the matter with Taifu?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the emperor was drunk in the harem yesterday, and the emperor was searched for more than an hour in the palace, but the emperor was never found. Dare to ask the emperor, is there such a thing? ”

Most of the courtiers in the council hall had just learned about this matter, and there was an uproar in an instant.

"The emperor actually disappeared in the palace, which is not trivial at this time. What do all those Praetorian Guards in the palace eat? ”

"Yes! The emperor will be injured in the palace, are these Praetorian Guards all eating dry food? They should all be sent to the army. ”

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and anger.

Gu Qingyuedai's eyebrows tightened, and she looked around, looking indifferent to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang's expression was indifferent, and her hands hung down in front of her casually, looking like she knew it in her heart.

Look at his appearance, where did he not know the details of the palace last night and came to ask, it was obvious that he deliberately told the secrets of the palace in public!

This kind of method may be very comfortable with the original owner, but it's a pity that Gu Qingyue is not a fool like the original owner.

She thought for a moment, leaned back, and leaned back.

Fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the dragon chair.

A moment later, Gu Qingyue folded her hands in front of her, her eyes dimmed instantly, and she looked around coldly.

The gloomy gaze is terrifying.

Everyone in the hall really quieted down.

After a while, Gu Qingyue said slowly: "That's right, I did take a nap in other palaces last night, and I accidentally fell when I left, so I suffered some minor injuries. ”

Mrs. Yang suddenly showed anger, clenched his right hand into a fist, waved it in the air, and said coldly: "The palace guards are really lazy and lazy, and they can actually let the emperor be injured in the palace." Chen Qizuo replaced the generals of the Praetorian Guard and strengthened the security in the palace. ”

Mrs. Yang's voice fell, and the hall that was still in an uproar instantly fell silent.

It's one thing for everyone to blame the Praetorian Guard, but it's another thing to really change the Praetorian Guard generals.

After all, the Praetorian Guard is the closest person to the emperor and the last line of defense of the imperial city.

The status of those who can hold the military power of the Praetorian Guard is naturally self-evident.

Taifu proposed to replace the generals of the Praetorian Guard at this time, if he said that he had no selfish intentions, who would believe it?

In the silent hall, in addition to the sound of their own breathing, there was also the sound of Gu Qingyue tapping the table with her fingertips.

She squinted her eyes lightly, her eyebrows twitched slightly, she didn't take her eyes off it, she looked directly at Mrs. Yang, and didn't reply for a long time.

If it was as usual, Gu Qingyue would have agreed to Taifu Yang's words and tactics.

But at this moment, she changed her normal state and didn't say a word, which made Mrs. Yang a little uncertain.

After a long time, Mrs. Yang asked tentatively, "I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

Gu Qingyue bit her lower lip lightly, and her face was embarrassed: "Tsk~ Changing the commander of the Praetorian Guard is not a trivial matter. ”

Hearing this, the hundred officials had different expressions, but they looked at Gu Qingyue at the same time.

The civil officials were all indifferent, and some of the corners of their mouths still couldn't hold back a little smile.

Look, the emperor still has to listen to Mrs. Yang in the end!

She's still the waste empress.

The generals' eyes widened as well.

If Taifu's words are enough for the empress to change the commander of the Praetorian Guard, it means that in the future, the civil official group will learn how to learn from the generals.

Such a precedent can't be opened!

"Why don't you tell me, do you have the right person in mind?"

Gu Qingyue's words settled, and she clearly heard a uniform helpless sigh from the hall.

The generals looked at each other: it seemed that the empress was finally going to agree to the Taifu's proposal.

Mrs. Yang's face was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little: "It's very good for the minister to look at Dong Lihui, the servant of the ministry." ”

Before Mrs. Yang's words fell, a blue-robed general immediately stepped forward, pointed at Mrs. Yang's nose and roared: "Let your mother's stinky fart!" ”

The words were so vulgar that the court shook.

The corners of Mrs. Yang's mouth trembled, and she asked incredulously: "Xu Pheasant, ...... What did you say? ”

Xu Pheasant is a descendant of the founding general General Xu, who has already made great achievements at a young age, and has always looked down on these ministers, especially Yang Taifu.

He stared at Mrs. Yang angrily: "Not to mention that Dong Lihui is just a small servant, he has no right to control the Praetorian Guards at all." Just said that he was just a scholar, how could he be in charge of the Praetorian Guard? Mrs. Yang, how much wine did you eat in the middle of the day to make such a brainless proposal? ”

How could Mrs. Yang ever be scolded like this?

His face was red and white, and his expression was extremely ugly.

Relying on the support of the last bit of literati popularity, Mrs. Yang did not scold Xu Pheasant in public, but only turned his head coldly, avoided Xu Pheasant's sight, and said in a deep voice: "Then who is more appropriate for Lord Xu to control the Praetorian Guard?" ”

"Even if you really want to change the commander of the Praetorian Guard, it should be General Jiang's identity."

Xu Pheasant's voice fell, and the generals expressed their approval.

Mrs. Yang sneered: "I thought it would be a better proposal for Lord Xu to not allow Dong Lihui to control the Praetorian Guards. With all due respect, anyone can control the Praetorian Guard, but Jiang Huaiting cannot. ”

"Why?" Xu Pheasant was even more angry, "General Jiang has great military exploits, and he is a person appointed by the first emperor, why can't he control the Praetorian Guard?" ”

"It is precisely because of Jiang Huaiting's outstanding military achievements and prestige that he is even more unable to control the Praetorian Guard. Otherwise, if he is disobedient to the emperor, won't he want to mess with my Dayao foundation? ”

These generals are the most invulnerable to suspicion of loyalty.

Not to mention that Mrs. Yang also directly questioned Jiang Huaiting, the head of the military generals.

All of a sudden, the generals were gearing up, and there was a momentum to turn a court argument into a fist and foot fight.

Gu Qingyue, who had always sat high in the hall and did not say a word, finally coughed lightly.

Everyone brushed their heads and looked at Gu Qingyue.

"You all have a point." Gu Qingyue got up slowly, looked around, and said slowly, "The Praetorian Guards are not good in the palace, and it is indeed time to come and rectify it personally." ”

"However, Dong Lihui, as a servant of the ministry, has his own important tasks, Jiang Huaiting is a general with great military achievements, how can he deign to be only a small Praetorian Guard?"

Gu Qingyue's words made everyone scratch their heads.

"What does the emperor mean?"

Gu Qingyue slowly raised her hand and pointed forward: "I see, it's just him." ”
