Chapter 12 The Sword of Suppression(1/2)
The audience under the ring and the swordsmen watching the battle from a distance all expressed surprise and confusion when they heard the name Princess, and then looked at Lu Qingshan in the center of the ring with envy or even jealousy.
"His life is so good." Someone muttered in their hearts.
Lu Qingshan noticed the expressions on the faces of the people around him. After being slightly startled, he couldn't help but become strongly curious about this princess of Qin.
"Hurry up and get ready, and then come with me." The captain of the cavalry army glanced at Lu Qingshan and said again.
The sound was loud, but it didn't sound domineering.
Lu Qingshan glanced at what he was wearing, then at the BMW tied to the side, and said with a smile: "I have all my clothes here, how can I prepare flowers?"
He spoke very casually, and the captain of the cavalry army did not take it seriously. Instead, he smiled slightly at Lu Qingshan and nodded at him, as if he was trying to get along with him and was extremely friendly.
Lu Qingshan jumped off the ring, got on his horse, and followed the cavalry to the palace.
On the spacious street, the Cavalry Colonel said nothing.
But it was obviously not that he had any objections to Lu Qingshan, nor that he disdained talking to him, but that he was habitually cautious and taciturn in his character.
On the contrary, Lu Qingshan felt that it was so leisurely, and he looked at the scenery on the street in a leisurely manner.
Half an hour later, a shadow enveloped the street.
The shadow does not come from the dark clouds in the sky, but from the palace in front.
The royal palace of Qin State has thick red walls and sword-like yellow eaves, and it has a majestic and solemn atmosphere.
Perhaps due to the influence of the climate in the north, the overall temperament is not like a romantic place, but more like a tough and majestic pass, with a kind of majestic magnanimity.
Lu Qingshan looked up at the majestic palace, followed the extremely high city wall to the soldiers at the top of the city, his expression was calm, but he nodded secretly in his heart.
The cavalry did not enter the palace through the main entrance, but walked along the city wall for a while, and then galloped in through a side door.
The driveway inside the palace was not as spacious as the streets outside the palace. After walking for a while, the cavalry commander took Lu Qingshan off his horse and started walking.
What puzzled Lu Qingshan was that after passing through many palaces, what he finally came to was not a princess's palace, or an elegant place like an imperial garden, but an extremely solemn hall.
Jinluan Palace.
The place where the Qin Dynasty met.
The cavalry captain turned his head, looked at Lu Qingshan and said expressionlessly: "The princess is meeting with the ministers and princes inside. I can only take you here. Please be patient. The princess will summon you later."
Lu Qingshan didn't pay much attention to the identity of the princess. He was looking at the decorations on the eaves of the Jinluan Palace with great interest. Suddenly he heard what the captain of the cavalry army said about meeting the ministers and princes. He couldn't help but be startled, and then asked in a low voice:
"In the Qin State, is the princess in charge?"
The expressionless Cavalry Colonel heard Lu Qingshan ask this, his eyes flickered slightly, "You don't know?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head calmly, "I really don't know, please tell me."
After the cavalry captain's eyes wandered around Lu Qingshan, he finally briefly and quietly introduced the situation of Princess Qin to Lu Qingshan.
Through the introduction of the princess's personal soldier with extremely obscure pride, Lu Qingshan finally understood why the people of Qin paid special attention to the name of the princess at that time.
Thirty years ago, the White Walkers resurrected and the Northern Alliance was established.
The war between the Northern Alliance and the White Walkers broke out without any foreshadowing, testing or even negotiation, and without any room for relaxation. The fighting began on the snowy fields outside the Snow Ridge.
In order to ensure the stability of the Xueling border and at the same time boost the morale of the military, the kings of the nine great kingdoms must take turns driving to the front line.
Ten years ago, the White Walkers spent twenty years digging an underground passage on the snowy ridge, bypassing the front line to defend the city, and prepared to attack the northern coalition forces. However, they happened to encounter the King of Qin who was driving to the front line.
and the Qin army.
It was an extremely cruel and bloody battle.
In short, the human race finally won the encounter and sealed the underground passage again.
As a price, King Qin died in that battle.
Unfortunately, King Qin had only been on the throne for three years. He was a new king, in his prime, ambitious and not good at women, so except for a daughter who was only twelve years old, he had no other children!
It is very dangerous for a country to have no successors.
Everyone speculated that the Qin State might be in turmoil.
But no one expected that King Qin's twelve-year-old daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Zhenguo, would actually take charge of Qin as a daughter with the support of General Pingnan, the great general of Qin.
After Her Royal Highness the Princess came to power, she did not rely solely on the support of General Pingnan.
With her own talent in governing the country, she was able to stabilize the Qin State's national power during the era of the White Walkers, when the national power of all countries was declining.
Therefore, his position became more stable and unshakable, and he also gained the love and respect of the people.
Lu Qingshan listened with great interest until the cavalry captain stopped narrating. He paused and said softly: "May I know the maiden name of Your Highness the Princess?"
The expression of the cavalry captain changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Qingshan. He didn't know what he was thinking, but in the end he shook his head firmly, "Is it true that we can call your highness by her given name?"
Seeing that the cavalry captain refused to say anything, Lu Qingshan did not ask any more questions.
The two people outside the hall fell into silence again.
At this moment, there was a fierce noise and commotion in the hall not far away.
The cavalry captain frowned, looking worried, as if he knew what was going on inside.
"Did Her Royal Highness the Princess have a dispute with her ministers?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Yes." the cavalry colonel replied.
"Isn't it to say that Her Royal Highness the Princess has already established a solid position in the Qin State with her own talents and the support of General Pingnan? Why would anyone dare to have such a fierce dispute with Her Highness?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
"No one dares," the cavalry captain nodded and slowly squeezed out the numbers from his mouth, "but what if the person who had the dispute with His Highness was General Pingnan?"
At this moment, above the main hall.
There are many talented people in the civil and military dynasties. Most of them are wearing purple robes and court uniforms that can only be worn by third-rank officials. Some old people are even officials with embroidered pythons.
But what really attracted the attention of the civil and military officials of the court was the lean man with the Qilin official patch embroidered on his chest.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, standing at the forefront of the military attaches.
This palace, and even the military officials of the entire Qin State, respected him.
He is General Pingnan of the Qin State.
A coughing voice sounded in the main hall, and someone from the line of military ministers behind General Pingnan walked out of the train, slowly knelt down and said:
"Your Royal Highness, I believe that the current situation in Xueling is becoming more and more serious. General Pingnan, as the general of the Qin State, should hold the sword of the country to strengthen the morale of the army."
"I sincerely request Your Highness to grant the sword to the general!"
The next moment, the Minister of War walked out, also knelt down and said solemnly: "Wei Chen thought it was time to give the sword to General Pingnan. In the great Qin Kingdom, besides General Pingnan, who else is qualified to hold the sword of the country?"
Behind General Pingnan, military ministers walked out one after another, knelt down and said in a deep voice.
The whole court was in an uproar.
This is already equivalent to forced uterus.
No one expected that the situation would develop to such an extent.
After all, it was with the support of General Pingnan that Her Royal Highness was able to take charge of the Qin State.
In fact, they had already had a fierce dispute over whether General Pingnan was qualified to hold the sword.
It is the general trend for General Pingnan to hold the sword, but Her Royal Highness the Princess insists that the sword of Zhenguo has a more suitable owner, and has always disagreed to give the sword to General Pingnan.
Because of the gift of the sword, the conflict between Her Royal Highness the Princess and her most loyal supporter, General Ping Nan, has become increasingly prominent recently, and the situation of "the monarch and his ministers being compatible" is no longer the same as before.
No one can figure out what Her Royal Highness is insisting on.
The civil servants all looked at the chief minister standing in front of them.
The vicissitudes of the old man, who was the head of the civil servants of the Qin State, slowly came out of the queue and coldly snorted: "The sword that governs the country is the royal sword. Who should be handed over to take charge is a royal matter, not a matter for the world.
It should be decided by His Highness, when will it be your turn to be rude and rude?"
The old man's eyes swept across the faces of the military officials, and finally landed on the face of General Pingnan.
General Pingnan opened his eyes, looked at the old man expressionlessly, and responded loudly: "Your Highness has always said that there is someone more suitable to hold the sword than me, so I will naturally disobey Your Highness.
But since this person has not appeared yet, and the situation on the border is now serious, I would like to ask the princess to lend me the sword temporarily, why not?"
The old man was speechless for a moment.
This was exactly what he couldn't understand about Her Royal Highness.
He couldn't understand it himself, so how could he speak for Her Royal Highness the Princess?
After General Pingnan finished speaking, all the civil and military officials began to have their own thoughts. They looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess on the royal chair, wanting to see how she would deal with the current situation.
Should he obey the general trend and "borrow the sword" from General Pingnan, or should he continue to persist in himself despite the fierce public sentiment?
In the end, the young princess, who was only twenty-two this year, faced these looks, and then to everyone's surprise, she looked down at the crowd and said: "The person holding the sword has not appeared yet. I am temporarily borrowing the sword from General Pingnan."
It’s not impossible”
Her Highness the Princess, who was once so persistent, has given in so much?
Although they knew that this was the most appropriate arrangement in order to avoid division under the current situation, the civil and military officials still failed to accept His Highness's sudden change.
Then the whole hall became extremely quiet.
To be continued...
