After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 371 The emperor saw the last emperor's will
Ning Youbei took out Qu Chu's memorial and presented it with both hands.

"Brother Huang, this is a memorial delivered by General Qu Tuochen.

General Qu said: As a general of the Dayu Kingdom, she puts the interests of the Dayu Kingdom first in everything she plans and does, and she has a clear conscience!I don't feel wrong.

But General Qu also knew that what she did killed too much and violated the peace of heaven.

Now that the world has been settled, there will be no war for more than ten years, so she resigns from all positions in the army and will no longer interfere in any military affairs. "

As soon as Ning Youbei said this, the hall fell silent.

Even Ye Yu'an, Su Ziyi and the others didn't know that Qu Chu had such a plan.

Qu Chu had told the emperor about this decision a long time ago, so the emperor was not surprised when he heard it, but he couldn't just agree.

The emperor looked at Duke Hu, "Mr. Hu, what do you think about General Qu's resignation?"

Duke Protector came out and said, "Qizuo Your Majesty: General Qu made a decision that I can't comment on, but I feel that General Qu has contributed to Dayu State."

Very standard answer!
The emperor looked at Duke Zhen again, "Mr. Zhen, what do you think?"

Duke Zhen replied:
"The minister thinks:

As the general of the Dayu State, General Qu's plans and actions are all based on the interests of the Dayu State. She has made great contributions to the Dayu State!
As for General Qu's request to resign from his post in the army, I believe that General Qu's own wishes should be respected.But even if she no longer serves in the military, the rewards that should be given will still be given. "

Duke Zhen's favoritism towards Qu Chu is much more obvious than Duke Huguo.

The emperor asked the opinions of several other ministers in the court, and everyone's answers were similar to those of Duke Huguo and Duke Zhen.

The emperor called Wang Yi's name again: "Wang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Wang Yi did not expect that Qu Chu would take the initiative to resign from his post in the army.

In the eyes of the ministers, this is a great authority!

Moreover, General Qu also said that what she did killed too much and violated the peace of heaven.So far, what else can Wang Yi say?
Originally, there was no saying in the army that prisoners could not be killed, only that they could not "kill the good and pretend to be meritorious", but this "good" does not include the enemy's people.

Therefore, it is impossible to deal with Qu Chu according to the military law and the law. We can only condemn and sanction her morally and in character.

But now, Qu Chu has voluntarily resigned from his post in the army, so what can be said about her with such a heavy self-punishment method?

At this point, Wang Yi also respected Qu Chu a little bit.

At least, General Qu is a man who dares to act!
"Qizou Your Majesty, since General Qu has voluntarily resigned from his post in the army, I have nothing else to say."

After doing enough superficial work, the emperor asked Ning Youbei: "Youbei, I want to hear your thoughts."

Ningyou North Road:

"Brother Huang, as a general, I think that General Qu is impeccable, and her contribution to the Dayu Kingdom should be recorded in the annals of history.

But as the concubine of my younger brother, my younger brother loves her dearly.

If it is possible, I hope that she has never been to the battlefield and lives a worry-free life like other noble ladies in Yudu City.

Therefore, Achu's resignation from the army has no objection to the younger brother, but the younger brother thinks that the reward that should be given to her must be rewarded.

You can't really not reward her just because she didn't ask for it herself. "

The emperor said: "Then how do you think I should reward her?"

Ning Youbei said: "She is now a Marquis of Pinglu, why not make her the Duke of An?"

Originally, Ning Youbei wanted to ask for the title of "Fuguogong" for Qu Chu, but "Fuguogong", like "Zhenguogong", is a hereditary duke, and Ning Youbei was worried that he would be opposed by everyone if he said it.

He thought that anyway, he and Ah Chu had only two children, Qingyu would inherit his title of King of Chu, Qingheng would not inherit Ah Chu's title, and it didn't make much difference whether it was hereditary or not, so don't ask for trouble.

Sure enough, after Ning Youbei finished speaking, no ministers in the court immediately came out to object.

The emperor asked a circle of Huguogong, Zhenguogong and others for their opinions, but no one objected.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, that's fine, everyone is happy!

In the end, the matter was settled smoothly: Qu Chu was granted the title of Duke Anguo of the first rank, but he lost all his positions in the court.

……

After the court was over, Ning Youbei followed the emperor to the imperial study.

The emperor laughed at him, "Aren't you satisfied?"

Ning Youbei said: "No, my brother is here to admit his mistake."

The emperor wondered: "What mistake do you admit?"

Ning Youbei did not speak, and presented a box to the emperor.

The emperor took the box curiously, and inside the box was a volume of imperial edicts and a letter.

The emperor froze, opened the imperial edict, and his voice became louder: "Where did you come from?"

Ning Youbei answered honestly:
"It was given to me by Sui Lijing when I was leading the army abroad this time. The reason why I admit my mistake is because I didn't give these things to Brother Huang immediately after I got them."

This box was given to Ning Youbei by Sui Lijing. The imperial decree and letter inside were all written by the former emperor, and the imperial decree was passed on to the current emperor.

After reading the imperial decree, the emperor read the letter from the former emperor.

In the letter of the first emperor, there are a lot of secrets in the palace:

For the sake of snobbishness, the first emperor designed the daughter of Lao Zhen, the Duke of the State, to become his own queen;

In order to avenge the late emperor for breaking up her and Yan Qingnan, the first empress had an affair with the old Jiangcheng king and gave birth to King Jing;
The late emperor had long known that King Jing was not his own son, and had been forbearing only for the sake of the power of the Duke of Zhen;
The first emperor's son and the first emperor's mother and concubine gave the first emperor poppy insects to control him;
After the first emperor's power stabilized, he arranged for the eldest prince's mother and concubine to arrest the former empress for having an affair with the guards, and took the opportunity to kill the first prince and his mother and concubine;

The former emperor once used the poppy bug to control the supreme emperor...

After reading these items, the emperor was terrified.

Compared with the former emperor, the emperor's methods are much more benevolent.

In addition to the secrets of the palace, the letter also revealed the secrets of the Zhen Guo government.

Not only the bloodlines of the Ning family have been branded, but the bloodlines of the Zhen Guo Gongfu have also been banned:
The direct line of the Duke of Zhen is the leader of the Dragon Guards, and he is dominated by the descendants of the Ning family who have blood marks on their bodies.If you don't do this, not only will you suffer backlash, but it will also lead to the end of the Zhen Guo government.

After the emperor read the letter, Ning Youbei said:
"Brother Huang, I never thought that this box would not be given to you, I just wanted to give it to you after Ah Chu's matter is settled.

After Sui Lijing gave me this box, he told me some other things. "

Ning Youbei then told what Sui Lijing had said about the recognition ceremony and the Dragon Guard's blood oath.

"Although Sui Lijing has been with Ning Youdi for many years, the Lord Recognition Ceremony between him and Ning Youdi was not successful because the totem on Ning Youdi's body was incomplete.

Sui Lijing wanted to complete the recognition ceremony with me, but I refused. "

Thinking about the imperial decree and the content of the letter, the emperor understood what Ning Youbei was thinking as soon as he thought about it.

"You still don't want to be emperor?"

"Yes", Ning Youbei replied honestly: "Since father and emperor can be emperor, why can't you? My younger brother is willing to assist the next emperor."
