There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 829 Lan Ling is jealous: Who is His Majesty’s biological daughter?

"Military talisman? Haha, you old shit-mouthed trolls, how do you know that I don't have a military talisman? Come on, get the military talisman!"

As soon as Su Xian said this, everyone was stunned.

Then stayed for a while.

What did Su Xian just say?
Does he have military symbols?

how can that be!

Military talismans, as the name suggests, are tokens for dispatching troops. Usually, half of the military talismans are in the hands of local generals and the other half are in the hands of the emperor.

The two halves of the weapon talisman can be combined into one through mortise and tenon joints.

When the two halves of the military talisman fit together perfectly, it means that the emperor agrees to mobilize the troops, and the person holding the military talisman can mobilize some soldiers in the designated area.

For example, there is an ancient allusion of "Jun Xinling stole a talisman to save Zhao", and the "talisman" in it is a military talisman.

In other words, if Su Xian really holds the military talisman, then his mobilization of three thousand dragon warriors is not a rebellion, but an act of compliance with the emperor's order, which is justifiable!
The Grand Master's hair and beard were all white, and he looked old-fashioned, with a "chuan" shape between his eyebrows, and his voice was sonorous and powerful:

"It's empty talk. Just take out your so-called military talisman and let me wait and see. I can tell the truth from the false!"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Su Xian was still calm and composed, and stretched out his hand in front of Yang Zhilan beside him.

Yang Zhilan took out something from her clothes and placed it firmly in his hand.

"This is my officer's military talisman. You all can come and take a closer look." Su Xian held the bronze military talisman in his hand and displayed it openly in front of everyone.

At that moment, the Grand Master, Grand Tutor and other senior ministers, as well as the Crown Prince, Princess Lanling, Nangong Wan'er, etc., all swarmed up to take a closer look.

Because the authenticity of this military talisman is of great significance!

When everyone got closer, they saw that the object in Su Xian's hand was copper-colored and was indeed made of bronze. Looking at its shape, it was a--

rabbit!

That's right.

It is a rabbit.

There are three types of soldier talismans in the Liang Dynasty. The lowest grade is in the shape of a rabbit, called "rabbit talisman", which can mobilize up to [-] soldiers and horses.

Above the rabbit talisman is the "turtle talisman". As the name suggests, the turtle talisman is a turtle-shaped military talisman. With this, [-] soldiers in a designated area can be mobilized.

The highest-level soldier talisman is the "tiger talisman", which is shaped like a tiger and has no limit on the number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized.

The object in Su Xian's hand was a "Rabbit Talisman", and the Longwu Army mobilized by Su Xian happened to be three thousand!

This is reasonable.

"What about the other half?"

The Grand Master's hair and beard were all white, and his face was extremely serious at this moment, because he discovered that the half of the rabbit talisman was actually real!

After all, he was the Grand Master of the dynasty, a highly respected minister, and he was not capable of calling a deer a horse.

"The other half is here!"

Yan Dashan was dressed in black iron armor and strode up. He held the other half of the rabbit talisman in his hand and merged it with Su Xian's half in front of everyone.

Only a soft click was heard.

The two halves of the rabbit fit together perfectly!
This process is called "conformity", which further illustrates the legality of Su Xian's troop deployment.

"Wait for the old man to take a look at the inscription on the soldier talisman!"

The Taifu stepped forward, rubbed his eyes vigorously, took the combined rabbit talisman from Su Xian's hand, and looked carefully with his eyes wide open.

Everyone on the side had already seen that the military symbols were covered with inscriptions.

The most obvious sentence is: "The talisman of armor and soldiers, the emperor is on the right and the dragon is on the left."

The key point is the "Longwu" in "Zuo Zailongwu", which refers to the Longwu Army. If this does not match, Su Xian's movement of troops is also a rebellion.

But those two inscriptions happened to be "Long Wu", which further illustrates the legitimacy of Su Xian's troop deployment.

The Taifu, Taishi and other senior ministers looked over and over with frowns, trying to find even a trace of irregularity.

But a full quarter of an hour passed, and these old guys still found nothing. In the end, they had to hand the rabbit talisman back to Su Xian and said dejectedly:
"This rabbit talisman is real. You do have the right to mobilize three thousand dragon warriors!"

"..."

Now the truth is revealed, Su Xian is really not a rebel!

He has a military talisman in his hand, which is justifiable!
Princess Lanling breathed a sigh of relief. Su Xian did not act recklessly. She did not misjudge the person. The vigilance in her eyes finally dissipated.

But then, she began to murmur again——

Su Xian's mobilization of three thousand dragon warriors, although he agreed with the court's laws, what was the use of explaining this to the grand master and other old guys?
At present, the Queen is seriously ill and the imperial doctor predicts that she will definitely die within the day. However, the country cannot live without a king for a day. If we act strictly in accordance with the laws of the court, we should support the crown prince to ascend the throne.

But Su Xian led his troops into the palace again.

This is obviously helping her out of the siege and supporting her to become the queen... If you want to do this, you must first abolish the crown prince, but the crown prince has not made any mistakes. Isn't this a violation of the court's law?
Lan Ling couldn't help frowning, unable to guess what Su Xian was thinking.

Since everything is going against the laws of the imperial court in the end, there is really no need to argue with the Grand Master and other old guys just now. Wouldn't it be refreshing to solve the problem directly and violently?
Nangong Wan'er felt disappointed. It turned out that Su Xian was acting in compliance with the emperor's order, which meant that Su Xian would not establish himself as king.

So, didn’t the beautiful fantasy of “being in the same room with Su Xian alone as a man and a woman alone”, “red sleeves adding fragrance”, and “Su Xian eating her in one bite” all come to nothing?
The Crown Prince, Grand Master, Grand Tutor and others, while feeling extremely disappointed, gradually understood why General Jinwu Left Guard personally led nine thousand Jinwu Guards to "surrender" to Su Xian.

And Qian Niuwei, why didn't he start a fight with Su Xian...

It turns out that they didn’t rebel at all!

Failure to brand Su Xian as a "rebellious minister and traitor" was equivalent to losing the opportunity and the initiative, and the great principles that the veterans talked about were of no use at all.

The prince felt irritable for a while, but suddenly, his eyes lit up because he also thought of the doubts in Princess Lanling's heart——

Since Su Xian abides by the laws of the court so much, then... he should do his best to support his ascension to the throne!
Thinking of this, the prince's heart instantly calmed down...

"Old shit-mouthed trolls."

Su Xian suddenly spoke, pointed at the Grand Master, Grand Tutor and other senior ministers one by one with his hand, and cursed rudely:

"Just now you called me a 'treacherous minister and traitor', what do you say now? Furthermore, I am a first-grade Taiwei with real power, and my rank is half a level higher than yours."

"When you meet me, why don't you come over to pay me a courtesy?"

"I am a magnanimous person. Seeing that you did not mess around just now, you only need to bow to me respectfully, and I will spare you."

"..."

"you……"

The Taishi, Taifu and other veterans suddenly turned red with anger. They were quite old, but they were bullied by Su Xian like this. Their lungs were about to explode with anger!
Su Xian was still calm and relaxed, and smiled when he saw this:
"What? Not convinced? Haha."

"My rank is higher than yours, so how did you insult me ​​just now? You are all veterans, don't you have any sense of dignity in your hearts?"

"Are you allowed to insult me ​​as a superior officer without wanting to give you a lesson?"

"What are you still doing? Come over here and salute respectfully!"

"..."

"Old man..."

The Grand Master's hair and beard were all white, and he was so angry that he was blowing his beard, but Gang Chang's etiquette had already been deeply rooted in their minds. Although Su Xian's words were unpleasant, there was nothing wrong with them.

Who said that Su Xian's true identity is the one with real power?

A first-level officer can kill people, but half-level can actually do it.

Therefore, the Taishi blushed for a while, and finally took the first step with great difficulty, approaching Su Xian with great difficulty, his face ashen, ready to bow to him.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Sikong stared at a pair of old eyes, took a majestic step, held the Grand Master with one hand, and at the same time stared at Su Xian with a burning gaze, and reprimanded in a deep voice:
"Even if you have a soldier talisman, even if you can mobilize three thousand dragon warriors, you led troops into the palace, killed dozens of guards, and disturbed the holy car!"

"Based on this alone, you are unforgivable!"

After hearing this, the Grand Master slapped his forehead heavily and said:
"I have forgotten, where is your imperial edict? Did His Majesty give you the military talisman to force you into the palace and kill people everywhere?"

"If you don't have a corresponding imperial edict, you are also rebelling today!"

Situ laughed and said:

"The old man guesses that you don't have an imperial decree at all, and even that rabbit charm was stolen!"

"Yes, you go in and out of the palace all day long, do you think that we don't know about it? That rabbit charm must have been stolen with the help of His Majesty's favor!"

"..."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Then they all turned to look at Su Xian.

Yes, where is Su Xian's imperial edict to mobilize troops?
It turned out that according to the Daliang military system, in addition to the necessary soldier symbols, the imperial edict affixed with the seal of the jade seal was required to mobilize the army. The imperial edict specified the number and purpose of dispatching soldiers and horses.

Local garrison troops must see military symbols and imperial edicts before they can send troops.

If one of them is missing, it will not work and it will be regarded as rebellion!

The use of the military talisman and the imperial edict together is equivalent to double insurance, which can avoid the dilemma of "Xinling Lord steals the talisman to save Zhao". Just now, everyone's mood fluctuated so much that they forgot about this matter.

After hearing their words, Su Xian smiled instead of getting angry.

I saw him straightening his waist, assuming the posture of a superior, and sneered in a lecturing tone: "You are all a lot of age, but you are still so childish!"

childish?

The Grand Master and other senior ministers were immediately furious.

They have been officials all their lives, experienced ups and downs in officialdom, and have eaten more salt than Su Xian has eaten rice, but Su Xian, a child with a yellow mouth, actually calls them naive?
Tolerable or unbearable!
Su Xian didn't give them a chance to get angry. He stretched out his hand in front of Yang Zhilan again, but stared at the Grand Master and other senior ministers, and continued to sneer:

"Take out the imperial edict and show it to these naive old guys."

Yang Zhilan did not respond, but silently took out an object from her pocket and put it firmly into Su Xian's hand. The object felt long, like a scroll.

Everyone's eyes fell on Su Xian's hand at the same time, and then they froze at the same time.

That... is indeed an imperial edict!
The whole body is made of bright yellow silk and brocade, with a faintly visible dragon-shaped pattern on the back. It is rolled up like a scroll. Isn't it an imperial edict?
Everyone present was an important official in the court, so they could naturally be distinguished at a glance.

"Everyone, come and take a good look. That rabbit talisman and this imperial edict were all given to me by His Majesty the day before yesterday. You all come and take a good look!"

Su Xian unfolded the imperial edict in front of everyone.

The Crown Prince, Grand Master, Grand Tutor and other veterans, as well as Princess Lanling, Nangong Wan'er, etc. gathered around again and observed carefully with scrutinizing eyes.

"This...is really an imperial edict!" The Grand Master's eyes widened with confusion on his face.

"Looking at this writing, it must have been written by His Majesty. It is an imperial edict written by His Majesty himself!" Nangong Wan'er affirmed.

"And this jade seal is actually real..." Although the Taifu didn't want to admit it, he still wanted to be shameless and would not tell lies with his real eyes open.

"Look at the content of this imperial decree again: His Majesty allows the Taiwei to use amulets to mobilize the three thousand dragon soldiers in times of crisis. Once they enter the palace, the Jinwu Guards, Qianniu Guards, etc. must obey the Taiwei's dispatch!" Princess Lanling said. A flash of jealousy.

"..."

Soon, Huiyou Hall fell into absolute silence.

Everyone looked at each other with different thoughts and didn't know what to say for a while.

Princess Lanling took one last look at the imperial edict, secretly pursed her lips, and then looked sideways at Su Xian, with an uncontrollable twinkle of jealousy in her eyes.

That's right, jealousy!
Unabashed jealousy.

The Queen gave Su Xian the military talisman and allowed him to mobilize three thousand dragon warriors at critical moments, which she could barely accept.

But she couldn't accept the content of the imperial edict. In times of crisis, once Su Xian entered the palace, even the Jinwu Guard and the Qianniu Guard would have to obey Su Xian's orders?
This privilege really made her jealous.

Who is the queen's own daughter!

Fortunately, Lan Ling was not an ordinary woman. In an instant, the jealousy in her eyes disappeared without a trace, and she began to wonder in her heart what benefits Su Xian would have to her after taking out the imperial edict...

Nangong Wan'er looked at this imperial decree, her beautiful alluring jade dimple was full of suspicion.

Without him, she didn't know about the Queen's gift of the military talisman to Su Xian, which actually makes sense.

But this imperial edict gave Su Xian such great privileges. As the Queen's "personal secretary", she didn't even know it!

Suddenly, something moved in her heart, and she remembered what Su Xian had just said: "That rabbit talisman and this imperial edict were all given to me by His Majesty the day before yesterday..."

The day before yesterday!

I still remember that a few days ago, after Su Xian proposed to build a "Market Ship Division" and open the sea to open up trade to solve the problem of food and pay for the Longwu Army, the Queen once told her that she took Su Xian's "handle".

From that day until yesterday, the Queen summoned Su Xian almost every day and asked Su Xian to give her a bath.

Now that Nangong Wan'er thought about it, could the Queen be trying to seize Su Xian's leverage with this move?
Next, the day before yesterday, the Queen felt that this was not enough, so she secretly gave the military talisman, wrote the imperial edict in her own handwriting, and handed it to Su Xian.

I have to say, this is indeed a good way to win people over!
Such a great privilege, even the Crown Prince and Princess Lanling did not enjoy it.

Su Xian enjoyed it instead.

However, looking back, Su Xian can indeed afford such a privilege, he is so outstanding... Nangong Wan'er turned her head and secretly looked at Su Xian's handsome face, her eyes gradually becoming obsessed.

But... Nangong Wan'er came back to her senses leisurely, turned her head slightly, and looked at the empress lying on the bed waiting for death, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
"Your Majesty tried every means to win over the Taiwei, but he forgot that he was still suffering from an old illness, which caused him to suffer from excessive wear and tear, which ultimately led to such a bitter result."

"But having said that, Your Majesty can be considered as working too hard for the sake of the country and the country!"
