Chapter 16 Concealing military information
Qu Chu looked upright: "If the King of Chu marrys you, the identity of a concubine may not make Hai Dongying tempted. But..."
Speaking of this, Qu Chu paused.
The emperor was curious.
"But what?"
Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei. It was the first time she looked at him seriously and carefully.
I used to think he was pretty, but I never looked at it carefully.
Ning Youbei has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, with a slightly upturned end of the eyes and a watery eyes, which seem to attract people's souls when looking at people. The nose is tall and straight and delicate, and the lips are thin and stylish.
Although this look is indescribable and charming, it is not feminine.
"I suddenly felt that if Hai Lizhu met the King of Chu, she would definitely fall in love with him. I think the King of Chu is the most suitable candidate for the mission to the west."
King Chu: "…"
emperor:"……"
...
Dayu Chaochai Meeting
The ministers who attended court today found that there was one more person in the court.
It cannot be said that it is an extra person, because she was the first general before. She just didn't come to court for a while.
Seeing her, the Minister of War’s heart rang.
He leaned over to Prime Minister Fang and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Has the military newspaper been detained been known?"
Prime Minister Fang was not sure, but he knew: there was no big deal, and the emperor would not go to court at this time.
He said four words softly: "Adapt to the changes."
When they saw Qu Chu attending court, all the ministers realized that something had happened. Before they knew the truth, they would not target her casually, so as not to know if they were to make a name for themselves!
...
What happened today is indeed a big deal!
The emperor said in person: He received a secret report from the defensive general of the Western Frontier General Fan, and the tribes in the west are preparing to form an alliance to deal with the Dayu Dynasty.
The emperor questioned the Minister of War:
"General Fan said he also sent an emergency military report to the Ministry of War. I have calculated the day. I should have arrived two days ago. Why didn't I see you report to me?"
Du Haiping, the Minister of War, was prepared when he met Qu Chu, and now he was not afraid to see the emperor scolding him.
"Report to Your Majesty: I have not seen this military newspaper yet. After the court, I immediately went to check to see which link was delayed."
The emperor did not intend to use this incident to cure Du Haiping's crime. Even if they investigated thoroughly, they could still introduce a scapegoat.
He just warned them: Even if your general hides the news, I still have a way to know the news.
Emperor: "Now that things have happened, are there any good countermeasures for all the beloved ministers?"
After receiving the military report, Du Haiping told Prime Minister Fang about this. Prime Minister Fang meant that he would suppress him for a few days. They secretly prepared first, and it would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to gain military power.
Now when I heard the emperor ask questions, Du Haiping was the first to leave the list as the Minister of War.
"Report to Your Majesty: I believe that the Western alliances are not afraid. As long as you send more troops, you will definitely defeat them."
The emperor remained silent: "What I meant was that I would send more troops? Who led the troops?"
Although Du Haiping is not as cunning as Prime Minister Fang, he is not a good match for him. When he saw the emperor ask him, he replied:
"I heard this news at first, so I didn't count how many more troops I would send, and I couldn't think of the most suitable candidate for the troops.
However, although General Huwei Lu Pingxuan is not at the moment, he was also an experienced second-rank guard general who had won many victories. Now it is an opportunity to employ people. I believe that he can make meritorious service."
Du Haiping learned from the unfavorable lessons of recommending Lu Pingxuan in the court last time and took the initiative to explain that it was to give Lu Pingxuan a crime and make meritorious contributions.
The reason why the emperor retained Lu Pingxuan's position as a fifth-rank general of Tiger Power was not only because Prime Minister Fang pleaded with mercy, but also because Lu Pingxuan had indeed won many battles.
There were too few generals who could fight in the Dayu Dynasty, so he had to use Lu Pingxuan.
The emperor did not express his opinion, and the King of Chu did not come out to object this time. Qu Chu even stood still, his shoulders and back were as straight as guns.
Seeing that no one objected, Duke Wei made a gesture to a minister.
This minister stood up:
"Report to Your Majesty: I think it is inappropriate. Not only is it because Lu Pingxuan is inappropriate to lead the troops, but it is even more inappropriate to increase troops at will."
The emperor then opened his mouth: "Well, my dear, what are your good ideas?"
At this time, the ministers all understood that the emperor did not want to fight.
This news made Duke Wei happy.
The military generals he could use were mainly Chang Weijun, but Chang Weijun was okay in Yudu City to lead the city defense force. If he really wanted to go to war, he would only be able to die.
Therefore, Duke Wei did not want to fight.
If there is a real war, either Qu Chu will return to the battlefield, or the most suitable candidate will be Lu Pingxuan.
But no matter which one it was, it was not the situation that Duke Wei wanted to see. Otherwise, he would not have exposed Qu Chu's identity as a woman and forced her to withdraw from the army.
However, although Qu Chu withdrew from the army, the military power was still not in control of Chang Weijun as his plan, and was snatched away by the King of Chu who came out of nowhere.
If it were the King of Chu alone, he would definitely not be able to control the army. But the emperor came up with a plan to build a plan to secretly cross Chen Cang, and let Qu Chu marry the King of Chu as his official concubine.
Now, the army was successfully taken over by the King of Chu.
Thinking of this, Duke Wei's eyes couldn't help but glance at Qu Chu.
From the perspective of Duke Wei, you can only see the silhouette of Qu Chu.
His face was cold and his expression was solemn. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a woman at all!
A few days ago, I booked a brothel and drank wine with a group of men in the brothel for a day.
The noble status, outstanding appearance and outstanding demeanor of the Chu King married Qu Chu, a man who was not a man, a woman, and a woman, and a woman, was not afraid of being slapped!
Duke Wei felt contempt: for the sake of power, the emperor also did everything he could do, and even his brother who had always loved the most was sacrificed.
He didn't believe that the rumor that the King of Chu who was rumored outside fell in love with Qu Chucai was begging her to marry her.
If you fall in love with it, why don’t you want to marry sooner or later, but you only want to marry when the news of her being a woman came out?
Before, they were afraid that they didn’t know that Qu Chu was a woman? Why did they like it?
...
The emperor called the Duke of Wei: "Duke of Wei, I want to hear your opinions."
Duke of Wei departed:
"Report to Your Majesty: I agree with what Lord Lin said, and I don't agree with war. We can send someone to discuss peace."
Lord Lin was the one who had just been instructed by him to oppose the increase in troops, the third-rank official left servant of the Ministry of Personnel.
"How should peace be negotiated with Duke Wei?"
Duke Wei concentrated his thoughts and lowered his head to answer.
"The Kingdom of Dayu can pay a certain amount of silver, grain, silk and tea to the tribes in the west every year to ensure stability."
As soon as Duke Wei finished his words, he was opposed by the Minister of Revenue: "Now the national treasury is empty, it is impossible to take out the money."
The Minister of War also took the opportunity to step on Duke Wei: "Duke Wei is afraid of war, and is selling his country for honor!"
