The reason why the courtiers quarreled was simply over who should be sent to support the rogue country.
You must know that military power is very important in the court. In the past, when Emperor Qi was still alive, the person with military power was Xie Xun.
But now that Emperor Qi is dead, almost all military power is in the hands of Xie Xun.
This actually made the courtiers very uneasy?
Everything requires checks and balances.
I know that this is especially true in the court hall.
There were also checks and balances between the emperor and his ministers.
Only when the two parties have equal power can a stable situation be achieved.
Throughout the ages, the mutual checks and balances between courtiers have been reflected in two aspects, one is marriage, and the other is military power.
But look at Xie Xun, in terms of marriage, he wants no one except Qin Rushuang. The ministers are very dissatisfied because they have no way to send their daughters or family members to the palace.
Now almost all the military power is in Xie Xun's hands, and the remaining bit is still in Qin Rufeng's hands.
Who is Qin Rufeng?
He is Qin Rushuang’s biological brother!
She, Qin Rushuang, was favored by Xie Xun, which was eye-catching enough. Her only biological brother was the only one in the court who had military power besides Xie Xun. How could they not be afraid of her?
The sending of troops to support the rogue country this time is a rare opportunity for the ministers.
Whoever can get this opportunity, Xie Xun will assign part of the military power to this person.
When the time comes and you return victorious, you will be able to gain some meritorious service no matter what. If you have meritorious service, you will have meritorious service. If you have meritorious service, you will have military power.
He, Xie Xun, can't just let people lead troops to fight and take away the military power immediately after returning from the war, right?
This military power is a guarantee and a reliance for as long as it remains in your hands.
Almost everyone had this idea, but during the meeting today, Xie Xun proposed that Qin Rufeng lead troops to support.
In this case, of course the courtiers would quit.
They finally waited for this opportunity to go to court. It's not like they don't have any generals. Even if they change to any one of them, why is it Qin Rufeng who has just returned from a great victory?
If this continues, apart from Xie Xun, the power of the Qin family in the court may become one-sided!
How can they be happy.
"Your Majesty, it's inappropriate! It's inappropriate! General Qin has just returned from defeating Japan and is still resting. How can we get General Qin back to send troops again?"
"Yes, yes, my lord, why bother General Qin with such a trivial matter? No matter it is a Kega or a gangster country, it is a small country, any general can handle it. Let the gangsters rush in front, and we will follow behind to make up for it.
As long as we have soldiers, why bother to work for General Qin?"
"The generals above the court are all fine now. They are all waiting for the opportunity to practice. Why should the prince focus on General Qin alone?"
…
Xie Xun was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to the people below being noisy. How could he not understand Xiao Jiujiu in these people's hearts?
But he also had other considerations.
Military power was indeed too important. He had just brought down Xiao Shan, and he did not want another powerful minister to appear in this court.
Therefore, this time he decided to use Qin Rufeng to send troops.
After all, Qin Rufeng already has an army at his disposal, and basically does not need to make any adjustments. It is more than enough to help the rogue country.
Moreover, Qin Rufeng was loyal to him and was Rushuang's younger brother, so he was naturally the best candidate.
It's not like he hasn't considered the issues mentioned by the courtiers, about the Qin family being too powerful...
First of all, he believed in Qin Rushuang. If the Qin family really had second thoughts, Qin Rushuang would be the first one not to agree.
Secondly, military power will definitely need to be redistributed in the future, but not now.
Because he has not yet ascended the throne, his power is not stable. Military power needs to be divided, but now is not the time.
But these courtiers don't understand this, they are just for the petty profit in front of them!
Several veteran ministers in the court looked at him and shook their heads.
In the end, the court meeting on this day ended with Xie Xun pretending to be furious and appointing Qin Rufeng to lead the troops.
With Xie Xun's decision, the Qin family has undoubtedly been thrust into the spotlight.
The elder sister is the queen, and the younger brother is the person with the largest military force in the court besides Xie Xun.
Suddenly, the Qin family was in the limelight.
It aroused envy, and also aroused jealousy.
Qin Rushuang felt even more helpless.
"My lord, why did you let Rufeng lead troops to the gangster country again? He is so... Our Qin family is really too eye-catching."
Xie Xun was half-lying, leaning his head on Qin Rushuang's thigh, rubbing his temples.
"It's so Rushuang, please take pity on me. It's not like you don't understand that I haven't ascended the throne yet. I can't move my military power as long as I can. Rufeng is the best choice."
Qin Rushuang patted his shoulder angrily.
"Then you don't understand me at all? Humph, if you do this, the Qin family tree will be in trouble, and something will happen one day!"
Before Qin Rushuang could withdraw the hand that slapped him, Xie Xun held it in his arms.
He gently rubbed Qin Rushuang's palm with his face, feeling the warmth and tenderness on his cheek, and his mood improved a lot.
"Does this mean that the tree attracts the wind? Does it mean that the limelight is too much? Rushuang, are they too ignorant, or are you too ignorant?"
Xie Xun glanced at Qin Rushuang with a solemn expression, "I have said before that I want to share this country with you two. Where is this? Now we are just letting them adapt in advance. In the future, we, the two emperors and empresses, will
It is not and is not impossible for people to hold power together.”
Hearing this, Qin Rushuang was startled and quickly covered his mouth.
"How can you say such nonsense! If word gets out, I'm afraid I will be pointed at my spine and scolded by everyone in the world!"
Xie Xun glanced at her with a smile, his expression was gentle, but he did not put it down as she wished, but continued: "How is that possible? I will not let you bear the infamy, I want you to become this big Qi
The most powerful woman, let you and I live forever together."
Xie Xun actually has many plans in his mind, but he doesn't plan to talk to Qin Rushuang about these things for the time being.
Everything he promised Qin Rushuang was not just empty talk, it was all to be realized.
He waited for that day.
Waiting for the day when he and Rushuang will be bowed down by all the people.
That day should not be too far away.
Seeing Xie Xun's insistence, Qin Rushuang felt that it didn't make sense, so she simply stopped talking.
"Anyway, everything is decided by the prince. Then the prince should bear the pressure from the courtiers."
Now Xie Xun had a bitter look on his face, and quickly stood up and begged for mercy: "No! It's so Rushuang, I can't bear it alone!"
"You have to carry it even if you can't carry it. Is it possible that you can still run away?" Qin Rushuang said angrily.
However, these words reminded Xie Xun.
Xie Xun's eyes suddenly lit up and he hugged Qin Rushuang.
"Rushuang, we didn't go to the Royal Courtyard to recuperate last time, didn't we? We didn't even get to soak in the hot springs, so why don't we go there again!"
Qin Rushuang now saw Xie Xun's willful side, and said in disbelief, "But we just came back from there not long ago, and the reason for using it last time was that I was frightened and felt unwell. What will the prince use this time?"
A reason to escape the pressure from the courtiers?"
"This is simple! Just say that the snake venom in my body has not been completely removed, and I need to take a medicinal bath in the hot spring to recuperate!"
The more Xie Xun talked about it, the more excited he became. He had already planned last time to have a beautiful hot spring bath with Qin Rushuang!
The result did not come true, but he was poisoned by snake venom. Now that the opportunity is so close, how can he let it go?
This time, the world between two people must not be disturbed by other people! Xie Xun silently swore in his heart.
