054 Falling into a pit
Iron smelting is a technology that the empire is proud of, and the empire's iron-making room belongs to the Weapons Division, and with the Weapons Division, it can ensure the supply of weapons when the army fights, and with the iron-making room, the Weapons Division is valuable.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always controlled the iron-smelting room, and therefore the life of all the armies of the empire.
Qin Yuefeng was originally a high-ranking general, a military minister, not only with heavy troops, but also with military merits, and a unique reputation, he should have avoided the limelight at this time, but he proposed to the emperor to bring the iron-smelting room from the hands of the prince, if I were the prince, I would not want to.
"I remember that General Qin was a very measured person, but this time he came back differently. The prince stopped at me, watched me kneel at his feet, and said unhurriedly. "I heard that for you, I actually resisted the decree yesterday. ”
I was shocked, Qin Yuefeng was definitely not a person who could resist the decree, he resisted the decree because of ......
"With the family matter of the county lord of Longhui, General Qin didn't agree to it. ”
Sure enough, well done, I silently praised Qin Yuefeng in my heart. But his face was silent, and he said steadily: "The general has always been very measured in his work, and he will never go beyond half a step, if there is something His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, then it must be for a reason." ”
The prince took a deep breath and snorted coldly: "He is doing things for a reason, and this prince is making trouble unreasonably?"
As the saying goes, there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add, and the prince has the heart to make things difficult for me, but I can't tell even if my mouth is full of my body. The point is that I am a pregnant woman with a big belly, and I knelt at his feet for almost half an hour, and he didn't mean anything to get me up, he just crushed me sincerely.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
The familiar voice came into my ears, Qin Yuefeng didn't know when he appeared behind the prince, the prince turned around, saw that it was Qin Yuefeng, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Qin, the general was not ordered to meet his father, how did he come out." ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor's will let Mingxiu face the saint, but I haven't seen Mingxiu come for a long time, so let the ministers come out to take a look. Qin Yuefeng replied calmly, but the prince obviously didn't eat this.
"So my father is in a hurry to see Mingxiu, isn't it General Qin, you can't see your sweetheart in a hurry?"
Although I first met the prince, I don't like the prince from the bottom of my heart, and his words and deeds are crowding people.
Although the prince has the intention to make things difficult, but Qin Yuefeng and I have always been respectful and have a family, it will be really unreasonable for him to pick a thorn again, thinking that the emperor is still waiting, the prince finally let me get up, and everyone walked towards the Qinzheng Hall together.
I knelt for too long, my knees hurt like pins and needles, I couldn't stand up as soon as I got up, and I almost had to kneel on the ground again, Qin Yue Fengfei came to help me, I stood up with his arm, gritted my teeth and stomped my feet.
The crown prince who was walking in front of him, seeing Qin Yuefeng's actions, couldn't help but look back at us, and when he saw this, he showed a sarcastic expression again, and he was about to say something when he saw the wind and cold.
"The maiden entered the palace for the first time, and she was not familiar with the road in the palace, so she almost delayed the time to face the saint, but fortunately she met His Royal Highness the Prince, so she did not miss the time. I said out loud on purpose.
The prince wasted a lot of time stopping me, I don't believe that he was allowed by the emperor, at this time I used these words to block the prince's stinky mouth, if he bothered again, the emperor started a fire and he would not have good fruit to eat.
The prince on the other side closed his mouth, and he glanced at me stupidly, turned and walked straight forward.
"It's okay, it's better. Qin Yuefeng held me steady and asked softly.
I nodded, and finally couldn't help but whisper to him: "The prince is so stingy, he is sincerely blocking me here, and he wants to punish me by changing the law." You too, at this time, the emperor wants to make an iron room, isn't this looking for trouble. ”
"Shhh Qin Yuefeng intercepted my words and wanted to say something, but he looked around cautiously, and did not elaborate after all, only said: "I'll tell you after this incident, in short, it's not me, it's the emperor." ”
Having said this, Qin Yuefeng did not continue, and not far away, the prince stopped and looked back at the two of us.
"Let's go first. Maybe it's steady?"
Seeing me nodding, Qin Yuefeng let go of the hand holding me and walked straight in front of me, I followed him two steps away, that's right, it is the distance between the slave and the master stipulated by the empire, and I am still a sinner now, so it is not a grievance to follow like this.
Turning around, I finally saw the spacious avenue, not far away from the 'Qinzheng Palace' sign hung high, outside the palace many eunuchs and palace maids stood with their hands down, invisibly giving people a sense of oppression, I took a deep breath to stabilize my mind, and said that the emperor would be regarded as a cabbage.
I followed the rules I learned on TV before, and walked into the temple door with small steps, and the posture was all kinds of well-behaved, so that others could see that it was four words - virtuous and virtuous.
"The people's daughter is bright, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live. I said aloud.
Before I could finish speaking, I heard the snickering around me, what were I laughing at, I was curious, I couldn't help but look around, only to see the little palace maids and little eunuchs standing next to me all hiding their faces and smiling, pointing at me. Looking up, Qin Yuefeng and the crown prince were also stunned in place, their expressions unpredictable.
I felt a little empty, and I vaguely felt as if I had done something stupid, but after thinking about it, I had no idea what was wrong.
"Who is shouting hoo live hoo long live?" a standard bass came into my ears and strode past me as a man stopped in front of me.
"See the Emperor. ”
"See Father. ”
Qin Yuefeng and the crown prince each saluted.
"Flatten. The bass waved his hand and continued to turn to look at me on my knees.
"Mingxiu, you can get up too, it's inconvenient. The emperor's tone was brisk, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. I thanked him, stood up silently, and secretly raised my eyes to look at the emperor, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a beard and a thin body, which was not the same as the fat-headed and big-eared emperor in my imagination, I couldn't help but feel a good feeling in my heart, and my impression of the emperor has changed greatly.
As soon as I stood still, the emperor came up and said with interest: "What is the long live you just shouted?"
This time it was my turn to be stunned, and I subconsciously blurted out: "Aren't you shouting here?"
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, then he regained his expression and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard of it, what is the point?
I don't pay attention to these here, I know in my heart, that's good, and there is no good end for those who generally pursue immortality.
"Back to the emperor, this is a kind of ...... Good wishes, I wish the emperor a blessing to the sky. I laughed and laughed.
The emperor seemed to find it very interesting, "This is fresh, where did Mingxiu hear this statement?"
Isn't it embarrassing for me, looking at the emperor's expectant expression, he seemed to be really curious, so he could only continue to make it up: "I heard a storyteller in the village say that in a far, far away place, the people there call the emperor long live." ”
"Hahahaha," the emperor laughed, "Hooray, good name." After that, he walked straight onto the dragon chair, crossed Erlang's legs, looked down at me and said, "I heard Yue Feng say about you, you are guilty, but it is also interesting." The battle of Limbo City is really unheard of. ”
The emperor stopped talking at this point, as if he was halfway through his words, but I could hear what he meant, and he doubted the authenticity of the empty city plan.
What Qin Yuefeng wants to do has always been to use the credit of the empty city plan to make up for my guilt of joining the army for my brother, if the emperor does not believe that I have a share of the military merits, then the guilt will naturally not be exempted, and it will not only be me, but also my brother who will be implicated.
So, I could only do my best to make the emperor believe me.
"Back to the emperor, fighting a war is not only hard-hitting, it requires combat effectiveness and strategy, and it is not good to lead soldiers and women, but I understand strategy a little. In the battle of Linbo City, although the Youta clan had an advantage in combat effectiveness, but in terms of strategy, they were very clumsy, and the empty city plan could work, which sounded unexpected, but it was actually reasonable. ”
"Oh, Miss Mingxiu has only been in the army for half a year, and she is very familiar with the Youta clan. The emperor said this without being salty.
Qin Yuefeng silently raised his eyes and looked at me, I saw a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes, and the prince, showing a look of watching a good show, all of this couldn't help but make me feel as if I had fallen into a pit.
I lowered my head and said no more, but the emperor continued: "Compared with military exploits, your guilt is not worth mentioning. I can spare you, but although the foreign enemy retreats, it is not defeated, and whether it can be completely driven away depends on you and your strategy. You also know that the foreign enemies of the empire are not only the Youta clan in the north, if there are a few more people who know how to plan, then the imperial army will be like a tiger with wings. ”
Oh, the emperor asked me to set up a training class and train him a few more staff officers. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't even memorize all the thirty-six plans, and the empty city plan is purely a coincidence.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter ......" I opened my mouth to refuse.
"The Spring Imperial Court is about to take the exam, Miss Mingxiu, I heard that your brother Mingzhe is a well-known talent in Yiyang, and he is like this, and he is really a brother and sister. The Emperor smiled.
Why does even the emperor know that my brother is my weakness, and threaten me with this, my brother is indeed a famous talent, but it is in Yiyang, far away from the capital, I don't believe that the emperor's ears and eyes can be accurate to this, only someone told the emperor that Mingzhe is to me, how important it is.
I glanced up at Qin Yuefeng, Qin Yuefeng had been staring at me since the beginning, and suddenly met my eyes, he actually dodged his gaze unnaturally, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it really be Qin Yuefeng who told the emperor this? Why did he expose my weakness to others and let others stick a knife in my weakness.
So far, I have no way to refuse the emperor, so I can only nod my head and agree.
The emperor was obviously very satisfied, he leaned back in his chair with a smile, and said happily: "In this way, you can stay in the palace for the time being, you are pregnant, and it happens that the Queen Mother is sick, so you give the Queen Mother Chong Chong joy." ”
