"The emperor was entrusted to heaven, and the edict said: Li Ying, the general who protects the country, is a virtuous and virtuous person, has a good appearance, and is smart and beautiful..."
The eunuch who came to convey the order was the famous eunuch Cao Huachun, who had obviously just been released.
But everyone was kneeling on the ground, but the more they listened, the more confused they became, and the more they listened, the more they frowned.
Because the whole article of this imperial edict praises Hong Niangzi as a person, and it is almost like the heaven. It is not at all like the imperial edict appointing a supervisor.
Wu Sangui was lying on the ground, his brows already knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan". He had a bad feeling.
The matchmaker involved had already been praised to the point of blushing.
Li Da on the side always looked confused about the situation.
"I will now enthrone Li Ying, the great general who protects the country, as the imperial concubine. He will command all the armies of King Qin and hold the power of life and death. I appreciate this!"
As Cao Huachun finished reading, everyone opened their mouths in shock with disbelief on their faces.
Almost everyone did not expect that His Majesty would appoint the Red Lady as the Superintendent and give her the power of life and death.
What surprised everyone even more was that this time, there were no titles such as Crown Prince, Taibao, or Minister of War, nor was Shang Fang given a sword. Instead, he was given the title of Imperial Concubine.
The generals under the Red Lady were the first to react from the shock, and then all of them looked ecstatic.
Oh my god! His Majesty actually appointed his own general as the Superintendent, and directly made her the Imperial Concubine.
And His Majesty has not yet established a queen. Once his general can give birth to a son for the Emperor, he will be the Emperor's eldest son, and he may inherit the throne in the future.
This means that not only will they achieve great success in the future and will no longer have to worry about being bullied by these wise generals, but their descendants will also be protected.
When they thought of this, almost everyone was trembling with excitement. They were no longer rebels and generals, but direct descendants of the emperor's soldiers and noble concubines that everyone envied.
Gao Jie also came to his senses and secretly rejoiced that he was so lucky that he accidentally hugged the imperial concubine's lap.
Wu Sangui was still afraid of Wu Sangui from now on. With the concubine’s kind words and recommendation, it would be difficult for him not to be brilliant and prosperous, so he immediately suppressed those bad thoughts in the past.
Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's eyes were rolling wildly.
Huang Degong had no other thoughts, just pure shock.
As for Wu Sangui, he was sweating profusely, his head was buzzing, and his mind was in a panic.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have expected that this red lady would actually have an affair with His Majesty. If he had known that it would be too late for him to flatter her, how could he do such a stupid thing?
The thought that he actually wanted to deal with the emperor's woman, who was a concubine, was like falling into an ice cellar.
This red lady didn't tell her earlier, she was really cheating.
"Empress, please take the order quickly!"
Looking at the red lady kneeling on the ground in a daze, Cao Huachun quickly reminded her with a very respectful tone.
"this…"
The red lady looked at a loss. She was very grateful that the little emperor trusted her so much that he appointed her as the supervisor, but she absolutely could not accept the imperial concubine.
"General, take the order quickly!"
Seeing her hesitation, all the subordinates were so anxious that they went crazy.
Wu Sangui's eyes lit up, and his hand involuntarily grasped the handle of the knife as if grasping a life-saving straw.
If the red lady dared to directly resist the order, he would immediately rush forward and kill her to avoid future troubles.
Although he might be condemned by his Majesty afterwards, he couldn't control that much. Anyway, it was better than a noble concubine worrying about how to kill him every day.
The key is that this noble concubine also holds more than 100,000 troops.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty said, this is also a temporary measure. After the Jian slaves are defeated, everything can be discussed." Cao Huachun stepped forward and whispered.
"My...my concubine, Li Ying accepts the order and thanks my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The red lady looked at her men, then at Wu Sangui and the general officers. She knew that she had no choice, so she had to take a deep breath, take the imperial edict with both hands and express her gratitude.
Anyway, she could just treat the imperial concubine as just a title, and then hand over the power to the little emperor to revoke it after the Jian slaves were defeated.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Everyone also hurriedly thanked him.
Wu Sangui, on the other hand, was slumped on the ground with a pale face.
The fourth brother Wu Sanfu was also trembling with fear and felt like he was dead.
"The slave, the Royal Horse Supervisor, and the eunuch Cao Huachun, pay homage to the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine. She is a thousand years old!"
After the red lady got up, Cao Huachun immediately knelt down and worshiped.
Although she is an imperial concubine, she was canonized by imperial edict and can already enjoy the treatment of a queen in some respects.
"My lord, Gaojie, pays my respects to the noble concubine. She may be a thousand years old!"
"minister…"
Gao Jie was the first to react, and then the Red Lady's subordinates also knelt down and worshiped.
"Chen Huang gets the credit..."
On the other side, Huang Degong was the first to come and kneel before the red lady.
"Your Majesty Liu Liangzuo..."
Liu Liangzuo also hurriedly killed him.
Unless he was stupid, he would leave the concubine's thighs alone and slap Wu Sangui's stinky feet.
"Your Majesty, Liu Zeqing, pays my respects to the Imperial Concubine. She is a thousand years old!"
"I was coerced by a traitor a few days ago. I had no choice but to do some stupid things. Please forgive me!"
Liu Zeqing also came to the red lady and knelt down, and apologized with an aggrieved face.
Watch this scene.
Wu Sangui was almost going crazy, these shameless villains and wallflowers, none of them were worth anything.
I have been providing him with good food and drink every day these days, and he has given me a lot of good horses and beautiful women. Now not only have they all turned against me, but I have also sold myself out.
Finally seeing everyone staring at him, especially Gao Jie with a murderous look on his face and a smug smile, Wu Sangui suddenly woke up and immediately got up and knelt down in front of the red lady.
"I, Wu Sangui, come to greet your concubine. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"A few days ago, I was taken advantage of by villains and seduced by traitors. I almost did something disrespectful to my empress. I should have committed suicide to apologize for my crime. However, a powerful enemy is facing me. I will first refer to you and ask your empress to guide me.
I have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds for my crimes. After defeating the Jian slaves, I will let my empress do as she pleases!"
When Wu Sangui talked about being taken advantage of by villains, he paused and stared straight at Gao Jie. When he talked about being bewitched by traitors, he stared hard at Liu Zeqing.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
After he finished speaking, he took out his dagger and cut off one of his little fingers without hesitation.
In fact, Wu Sangui did not accuse the two of them wrongly. Gao Jie did intend to use the two of them to make a good friend from the beginning.
Liu Zeqing was also greedy for the red lady's money and food, so he quietly encouraged Wu Sangui to take the lead in order to divide her.
Wu Sangui also understood Liu Zeqing's thoughts, thinking that Gao Jie was like him, and seeing that the red lady didn't buy his fault, he took the lead and took advantage of the situation to win over the two of them.
It can be said that the three of them are not fuel-efficient lamps. If you think about it, there are almost no general soldiers who can live to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen who are not human beings.
When trying to trick teammates, they all do the same thing. If they are a little bit naive, all the honest ones will be dead long ago.
The Red Lady is not stupid, so she can naturally see that these three are not good things, but she is facing a powerful enemy and does not want to care about them.
Especially Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry, which was the mainstay in resisting the Tatars, saw him cut off his fingers.
So he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get up. I will not pursue the past matters. But if the Tatars come and you dare not to advance in fear of the enemy and are greedy for life and fear of death, don't blame me for settling old and new grudges!"
"Thank you so much, my dearest lady, I will definitely make meritorious service and kill the enemy bravely!"
Wu Sangui hurriedly thanked him, finally letting go of his worries, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and four other people were deeply disappointed and regretful.
Because Wu Sangui's cavalry were also coveted. As soon as the imperial concubine spoke, they immediately pounced on the Wu brothers and killed them.
Then the imperial concubine took the big head, and they took the small head, dividing the 20,000 Guan Ning cavalry among them.
And there is no need to take any risks. Wu Sangui intends to murder the imperial concubine. The evidence is irrefutable and irresistible. Everyone here can testify.
