"The Liangzhou camp was so lazy that it forgot about the Northern Liang Tiger Eyes and started fighting for power internally!"
Xiao Pingsi said angrily: "The general ordered to remove his armor, which led to him being caught off guard and not being strict with his subordinates... His crime deserves death!"
Wang Feng was startled and did not dare to say a word.
Zhuge Qingshan said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."
"Shoufu means, what a coincidence?"
Xiao Pingsi nodded: "I thought so too... As soon as the general ordered to collect some of the weapons, there was an enemy invasion immediately. I'm afraid there is a mole."
Thinking of this, the two of them became even more furious.
"That deputy general reacted quickly and turned the tide... What is his name? Ask the Ministry of War to check and give him a commendation." The emperor said.
Zhuge Qingshan blurted out: "The deputy general of Liangzhou Battalion should be the clan brother of the imperial concubine, how can I do that?"
As the first assistant, all parties must understand that Zhuge Qingshan has an excellent memory and will never forget what he has seen.
Famous ministers all have their own talents.
"He An...this guy is not bad. He has not disgraced the He family."
The He family is not the He in front of the He building. They are relatives of the current emperor. Their ancestors owned the original shares of the Great Xia Kingdom. They are a family of military generals who conquered the country together with the Tai Huang.
It is also the Duke's Mansion.
However, in recent years, after the rise of Ye Xuanfeng, various military general families have declined.
After being comforted, the emperor felt a little better and said: "He An wants to reward me, but the general must be escorted to the capital for trial immediately."
"This is natural..." Zhuge Qingshan had no objection to this. According to law, this should be the case.
Even if the general did not collude with Beiliang, he still has to bear the responsibility.
Whether it was the laxity of his subordinates or the loss of vigilance that led to such heavy losses in the city, the general cannot absolve himself of the blame.
"But be careful. If the guard really colludes with Beiliang, I'm afraid he will need help from the nearby defenders." Zhuge Qingshan said worriedly.
"I have sent Xiao Chaoguo. He will personally declare the order. If there is any disharmony, he will be arrested or even killed on the spot."
Xiao Pingsi is not without temper. At this time, someone must be responsible for it.
Otherwise, we cannot give an explanation to Liangzhou, nor can we give an explanation to the military and civilians.
"Beiliang suddenly attacked. They must be prepared for war. I'm afraid there will be a big war in Daxia." Zhuge Qingshan said helplessly.
War is never a good thing, but there are always people who are ambitious and lead to wars again and again.
Zhuge Qingshan analyzed: "Beiliang is located in a cold place in the north, and the harvest cost is not much. I am afraid that it will be affected by disaster this year, so I am planning to send troops south to plunder. In the past, they have taken action in the autumn and winter."
"This is the time when we should be most vigilant, but Liangzhou Camp is unprepared!" Speaking of this, Xiao Pingsi was filled with anger.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or injured in this battle.
There should not have been such damage in the first place. As long as the Liangzhou camp was more careful, there was no internal strife in the army to confiscate weapons, and the scouts deployed farther away... As long as any link was functioning normally, nothing would happen.
But something happened.
It can be seen that he is extremely lazy, or he is deliberately letting it go.
It can no longer be explained by carelessness.
"The decree was sent to the northern region, and all parties' military forces were adjusted and deployed to defend Liangzhou." Xiao Pingsi was worried that Liangzhou had suffered too much and could not withstand Beiliang's massive attack on the city.
"Winter is coming soon. Ask the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to distribute cotton-padded clothes to the soldiers. Once this battle starts... I'm afraid it will be protracted."
Xiao Pingsi gave orders one after another. After Wang Feng listened, he went down to deliver the order.
After pushing away Wang Feng, Xiao Pingsi regained some composure and looked at Zhuge Qingshan.
"Why did you come here today, sir?"
He heard Wang Feng talking to Zhuge Qingshan outside. The Xuanjian Division's secret report had just been sent, and it was impossible for Zhuge Qingshan to predict it.
Therefore, his original intention of coming was not for Liangzhou Camp.
After asking this question, Zhuge Qingshan laughed and then remembered his original purpose of coming.
"Your Majesty didn't say it, but I forgot."
"Sir, please tell me." Xiao Pingsi has always treated this chief minister with courtesy. Talents are rare, let alone the most famous minister in the world.
Zhuge Qingshan said: "It's not appropriate to mention this matter when I just left Liangzhou Camp, but the old minister doesn't shy away from it."
Xiao Pingsi asked: "Sir, why do you have to be so rigid?"
"I originally wanted to mention to Your Majesty about the marriage between Young Master and Master Ye, the swordsman of the Xuanjian Division."
"Marriage?" Xiao Pingsi swept away the gloom and asked with great concern, "When and where? Why didn't I receive the invitation?"
He suddenly became a little angry.
When an employee gets married and doesn't send a wedding invitation to the boss, how do you handle things?
"Why didn't anyone report it to the Xuanjian Division? Are they all just doing it for free?" Xiao Pingsi was furious.
Zhuge Qingshan chuckled: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The two of them haven't done anything yet, so they are worried about it."
"worry?"
Xiao Pingsi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the young master had not held the wedding ceremony yet. It turned out that he had not received an invitation.
"Your Majesty, Lady Ye is from the Ye family. All her information files are in the Xuanjian Division. Legally speaking, she is no longer a member of the Ye family."
Zhuge Qingshan asked: "Who will be the matchmaker for her and take over the job?"
After saying this, the emperor immediately understood.
Xiao Pingsi suddenly smiled: "What the boss means is..."
"I think it is really pitiful that Mr. Ye can't recognize his relatives and is lonely and helpless. He doesn't even have an elder to preside over the marriage."
Xiao Pingsi smiled and said: "Master, do you want to accomplish this good thing?"
He also thought that Zhuge Qingshan wanted to recognize this relative so that he could take charge of the matter on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Qingshan smiled and said:
"I have no such intention..."
"Then why are you telling me this?" Xiao Ping rolled his eyes.
Zhuge Qingshan smiled mysteriously, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty... I remember that Your Majesty said that if he has a princess, he will definitely marry the young master..."
"Of course, the young master is extremely talented. If he can win over him like this, let alone a princess... or several others, they can all marry him." Xiao Ping said quickly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Pingsi saw Zhuge Qingshan smiling strangely.
"hiss?"
Xiao Pingsi stood up suddenly, walked to Zhuge Qingshan, and whispered: "What do you mean, sir?"
"Haha." Zhuge Qingshan smiled and nodded.
"Is this... feasible?" Xiao Pingsi was a little hesitant, but it wasn't that he didn't want to do it, but he was worried that he would be rejected.
When the time comes, where will the emperor's face be?
"Then who will preside over the marriage for him over the young master's side?" Xiao Pingsi originally thought that in his capacity as emperor, he would preside over the wedding for Fang Jue.
But that seemed too earnest and a bit out of line.
Now Zhuge Qingshan's move made him think it was feasible.
"I heard that the young master's second uncle has arrived in Beijing recently and should be able to handle the marriage for the young master." Zhuge Qingshan said.
If someone has elders, let’s forget about it and think about the one who has no elders.
Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi nodded and said, "That's good...but the national war may be about to break out right now, so it's not a good time for them to get married."
Zhuge Qingshan nodded: "Of course we have to wait until this matter is over, but people can admit it first..."
"right……"
"But, my Nine-Fifth Supreme Being, if this happens suddenly, will I be criticized?" As an emperor, Xiao Pingsi has to think a lot and consider the influence of all parties.
Just to win over a young master, you can't lose the royal dignity and look flattering.
Zhuge Qingshan smiled: "Isn't this difficult to handle?"
"Sir, please enlighten me."
"I don't dare... I just feel that since Your Majesty does not have a princess, it is understandable if a certain empress is eager to have a daughter..."
"Letting the empress of the harem come forward... is indeed better than me speaking directly, and there is a buffer... Then let's do it."
The two of them agreed and the plan was put into place. After a while, Zhuge Qingshan left.
The cabinet will also be busy with the Beiliang raid, and he won't have time to care about the young division anymore.
As soon as Zhuge Qingshan left and Wang Feng came back, Xiao Pingsi said: "Go and invite the imperial concubine."
The imperial concubine, the biological mother of King Yongan, was born in the He family.
When there is no queen in the dynasty, the concubine is the actual person in charge of the harem.
"Imperial concubine?" Wang Feng suddenly pursed his lips and chuckled. Your Majesty has not read this empress's name for a long time.
I usually say yes and worry about the concubine’s hard work so I don’t bother her too much. But today I can’t hold it in any longer?
The sensible Wang Feng did not remind His Majesty that there were still many things that had not been approved by the memorial, so he hurried to the harem to convey the decree.
When Wang Feng came back, the imperial concubine had not arrived yet.
As a royal concubine, there is a certain amount of pomp and circumstance when traveling. You can't leave just as soon as you want, as it will naturally be late.
After dinner, Xiao Pingsi went to the Yangju Hall and waited while reviewing the memorial.
"The imperial concubine has arrived..."
A voice came from far away.
Xiao Pingsi signaled to Wang Feng, who shouted: "Xuan..."
Then with a quick wave of his hand, he led the maids and eunuchs out of the palace in a hurry.
Xiao Pingsi was still reviewing when he suddenly smelled a fragrance and looked up to see the stunning beauty of the world.
The imperial concubine was wearing a bright red dress and wearing royal crystal boots. She walked lightly and walked in the fragrance.
Her hair is long and shawl, but not messy. It looks like she has just been washed, and her whole body is as delicate as a bath.
"Your Majesty." The imperial concubine's face turned red and she was a little overwhelmed. She had not slept with him for a long time.
In recent years, the favored concubines have been virtuous concubines and others. She has to take charge of the harem and educate the prince, and rarely meets the emperor.
Generally, the couple would meet only when the emperor went to see King Yong'an. The emperor would leave very quickly, without any chance to get close.
Today, in the Weiyang Palace, the imperial concubine's bedroom, she saw Wang Feng coming to deliver the order. The imperial concubine was surprised and pleasantly surprised. She immediately bathed and changed her clothes under the service of the palace maids.
The outfit she was wearing was the same one she wore when she first met the emperor when she married into the palace.
That dress could no longer be worn unless it was a special ceremony. In order to recall the emperor's memory, the imperial concubine ordered someone to make one of the same style long ago.
Sure enough, with just one glance, she was sure that the emperor was attracted.
"Concubine..."
The emperor smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, and my beloved concubine has become thinner."
The imperial concubine pursed her lips and continued: "I have met your majesty, and thank you for your concern."
Xiao Ping chuckled.
Seeing the imperial concubine's attire, he knew that Wang Feng had mistakenly conveyed the order, either intentionally or without a doubt.
Originally, I called the imperial concubine here just for Ye Hongyi, but now it seems that I need to relax my attitude towards asking for help.
If I don't sacrifice my appearance tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to "convince" the imperial concubine. This will be a big help.
