Chapter 461 Ren Shuai Dispute
In the past few days, the generals in Huan's army have been discussing Sun Qi's affairs.
These are undoubtedly harsh to Xiang Ge's ears.
Out of serious jealousy and the reputation of the so-called "famous general", he decided to implement a small plan to prevent the coaching change from happening at the suggestion of the civil servants.
You must know that he is a long-standing powerful person in the Huan Kingdom. He has a big tree and deep roots, and his influence in the court can be imagined.
Under the secret manipulation, some kind of rumors began to appear in Huanzhou.
The day before Sun Qi returned to the capital.
Xiu Niang went home as usual, but when she passed a nearby street tea shop, she overheard some rumors.
"I heard that the wife of the upcoming general of our Huan Kingdom is from the Liang Kingdom..."
"Yes, I've heard about it too. How do you think this will work? Our country and Liang Country are mortal enemies now..."
"Yes, the general's wife is from an enemy country. This will definitely cause problems..."
Such rumors were mainly aimed at Sun Qi. The discussants seemed to be ordinary people, but in fact, they were deliberately arranged.
Hearing this, Xiu Niang's heart tightened and she couldn't help but worry about her husband.
Because she is indeed from Liang country.
In his early years, he was from the aristocratic lineage. When Sun Qi was studying everywhere, he met him, fell in love with him, and identified himself as his man. Then he followed Sun Qi, wandered all the way, and settled here.
The next day, when Sun Qi returned to the capital, the first thing he did was to go home and reunite with his wife.
"Xiu Niang..."
As soon as he walked in, he was all smiles.
When he saw his wife, he quickly stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged her tightly.
Leaning on his chest, Xiu Niang whispered: "My husband is back."
"Yes." Sun Qi responded. After hugging him, he looked at Xiu Niang seriously and said sincerely:
"Madam is a lady of the family, so she should be carefree, but she follows Sun Qi through hardships and lives a life of uncertainty. Having a wife like Madam is the greatest luck for Sun Qi in his life."
"When I return to the capital this time, I will surely achieve great fame and great achievements. How can I dare to let my wife suffer in the future?"
He said it very seriously. When Xiu Niang heard this, she was moved, but her heart also tightened again.
Because she thought about those rumors, which would definitely have an impact on her husband.
She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but Sun Qi said again: "By the way, I asked Madam to choose a mansion, have you gone to see it?"
"Well, what I've seen is just..." Xiu Niang hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Sun Qi was slightly confused.
"No, it's nothing. Xiu Niang misses her husband and has been worried..." She forced a smile.
Another day later, Huan Guo went to the meeting hall.
"I will see you, Your Majesty. I will be king for ten thousand years——"
"Everyone is safe."
King Huan sat down on the throne and immediately looked at Sun Qi.
But before he could speak, a minister stood up, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?" King Huan had no choice but to turn his eyes to him.
The minister said: "Recently, there have been many rumors in Huanzhou, saying that the wife of the upcoming general of our Huan Army is from an enemy country. The royal court's decision is really not a good move."
Hearing this, Sun Qi couldn't help but feel shocked.
King Huan also frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you mean?"
"Sun Qi's wife is from the Liang Kingdom." The minister said directly.
"What?" King Huan frowned even deeper when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at Sun Qi: "Sun Qi, is what Mr. Wei said true?"
"Yes, my wife's ancestral home is indeed the Liang Kingdom." After Sun Qi finished speaking, he added, "But what does this have to do with it?"
"Why doesn't it matter?" Another minister immediately stood up and said seriously: "If the commander of our army and his wife are a noble of the enemy country, is it inappropriate?"
"Where do you say the nobles from the Liang Kingdom came from?" Sun Qi said.
The minister asked back: "The general's wife is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a lady, right?"
"So what!? That's Xiuniang's talent!" Sun Qizhen said.
The minister said: "In this case, the origin of the Liang Kingdom's nobles can be traced back."
"You! You are stirring up trouble!" Sun Qi was extremely angry.
After saying that, he immediately faced King Huan, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty! I am full of ambitions to serve the country! What do you have to do with your wife? How can your family be involved when the two countries are at war?"
"This..." King Huan hesitated.
At this time, Qiu Rong stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Sun Qi's wife is from the Liang Kingdom. This is a normal thing! Just like the previous king, Duke Huan married the princess of the Jin Kingdom, Huan Jin still didn't happen
During the war, the flame spirits even got married several times, and the spirit king still participated in destroying the flames!"
He gave examples and what he said were all facts.
And this is indeed a normal thing, because everyone is a Chinese nation, but the country has not many titles. It is like princes from various places. It is really nothing for one place to marry a woman from another place.
But the Xiang Ge faction insists on this point.
Someone immediately retorted: "The prime minister made such nonsense, how can a small general argue with the king!"
"The marriage between the two countries is related to politics, but the generals are different, and the wife cannot be an enemy country!"
"That's right! Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"
Many ministers came out at the same time.
Xiang Ge had his connections, and Qiu Rong, as the prime minister, naturally had his connections. Immediately afterwards, many ministers from the prime minister's line also came out and began to have a verbal spat with another group of people.
The whole court became noisy and chaotic.
King Huan suddenly had one head and two heads.
He frowned, looked around, and then shouted impatiently: "Okay!"
All the ministers were quiet and bowed one after another.
King Huan took a deep breath, thought about it, and said hesitantly: "This matter... this matter will be put aside for the time being. I still need to consider it. Today's court discussion will end here."
He is a person who is easily encouraged by his officials, which is also related to his character.
Among the monarchs in the world, King Huan was the most indecisive one.
After the court meeting, on the way out of the palace, Sun Qi was so angry that he couldn't help but said: "How unreasonable! What does it have to do with my wife if I lead the army! These ministers are just making things up out of thin air and confusing right and wrong!"
Qiu Rong shook his head and said, "You don't quite understand the situation in the Huan Kingdom's court. It's complicated."
Now, it can be said that he values Sun Qi very much!
From a public perspective, if Huan Guo has a great talent, he will be able to revitalize his country and compete with other kings for hegemony.
From a selfish point of view, this is the handsome man he recommended for Huan Guo. Once he succeeds, it is conceivable that Sun Qi will not be grateful to him.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "When I received the news, it was Xiang Ge who was behind this incident and wanted to prevent the king from changing his commander. After all, he was jealous of his talent."
Sun Qi frowned, never expecting that the commander-in-chief of a country could be so petty.
