Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 215

Seeing that Qin Jinrui actually handed over the commander's seal, the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise.He looked carefully at him and kowtowed, the third son who had always been gentle and elegant and never involved in partisan disputes, made a decision in his heart instantly.After a while, he laughed loudly and said: "You only want to be free, and you only think that the father is making things difficult for you, but it is not allowed to let you be free. Later, you will be on duty in the military department. It can be regarded as a share of father and emperor's worries."

Following his words, the entire court was also startled.To be exact, probably no one would have thought that the emperor would make such a decision.You know, the Ministry of War has always been firmly in the hands of the emperor, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is even the emperor's confidant.

But now the emperor meant that the most important thing in his heart was the unobtrusive third prince?Or, is this for the third prince i?

Those who can stand above the court hall, whose mind is not twisted, can draw seven or eight kinds of conclusions after a little thought.But in the final analysis, everyone looked at the third prince, Prince Rui, with deep thought.

Immediately, Master Yang, Minister of the Household Department who has always been the eldest prince's right-hand man, came forward with a white jade wat board, knelt behind Prince Rui and Zhang Mandun, and said: "I have objections, the affairs of the Ministry of War are related to the survival of the country , no kidding, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is young, I don't think it is enough to take on this important task. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to think twice."

His words seemed upright and calm, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them, but they made the emperor on the dragon chair turn cold, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Yang Yongtang's ability is quite outstanding, as the minister of the household department, he has never made any mistakes. Although he is not a clean and honest official, he is better than those who eat vegetarian meals.It was just because he tried his best to protect the eldest prince in the early years, and even reprimanded the officials at Yushitai for impeaching the eldest prince, so it was inevitable that he would be labeled as the eldest prince.

But those are just private speculations of the big guys, and no one knows what the actual situation is.Even after investigating, the emperor couldn't figure out his fault, so he turned a blind eye to him and ignored him.

But now as soon as he came out, he opened his mouth to object to the emperor's decision, and kept saying that the third prince could not bear the responsibility.If it was normal, it would be fine, but it happened after His Royal Highness Prince Rui and the General Protector defeated the Xiongnu, then this would be interesting.

Sure enough, seeing the people from the first prince's faction agree with each other, and even the second and fourth children also started arguing, one-sidedly felt that the third prince was used to idleness and shouldn't take on this important job.

The superior emperor frowned, with a stern face, and said indifferently: "Yang Shangshu's words are not unreasonable, but now Prince Rui's ability is obvious to all, and his ability to lead the army is beyond doubt. If you have any objections, you should go to the battlefield first and kill them." Try killing a Hun royal court."

Seeing that the emperor was obviously displeased, those arguing below could not help but keep silent.After seeing the boss, the second and the fourth, expressing glances at each other, the emperor was even more indifferent for a long time, and said indifferently: "This matter is settled like this."

When the imperial decree came down, Zhang Mandun also kowtowed and said solemnly: "Report to the Holy Majesty, and the minister, like His Highness, returned the military talisman to His Majesty."

When Zhang Lai brought the box containing the commander's seal and soldier talisman to the emperor, the emperor squinted to see that the two had no other expressions, and no one could guess what was going on in his heart.After waiting for everyone to be a little frightened, wishing to kick the ignorant Zhang Mandun out of the court, the emperor restrained his expression, glanced down, and collected everyone's expressions of doubt, joy or hesitation fundus.

"The general who protects the country is loyal to the emperor and loves the country. He bestows a royal brocade robe, grants him the title of Duke Protector, and grants amnesty to the Duke's mansion. He also grants special permission to directly enter the palace to meet the saint and enter the study room to discuss matters." The emperor glanced at the civil and military officials with different expressions. , indifferent for a long time, and then said slightly gently, "I don't know what other wishes Aiqing has?"

Hearing the series of titles, Zhang Mantun felt a little dizzy and dazed. After thinking for a while, he simply kowtowed and said in a rough voice: "I have no other ideas, and I don't need the emperor to bother to arrange any positions. The words of Chen Douda I don't know much, but I just want to live with my daughter-in-law for the rest of my life, so please don't reward me with anything else, just reward my daughter-in-law with a plaque, so that it will be more convenient for her to do business in the future."

The amount of information revealed in these words is too much. General Huguo, oh no, it should be Duke Huguo.He said that he was a reckless person who was illiterate, which was already a big joke in the world, and now he actually asked his wife for a reward in front of the ministers.Unexpectedly, the lady is still a merchant woman?
It's fine if that's the case, look at his appearance, he speaks confidently, the complacency and joy on his face, no matter how you look at it, it's irritating.

If he had only seen some hints of Zhang Mantun's temperament from the secret performance before, then seeing it seriously now, the emperor still felt a little annoyed.This man who snarls and asks his wife for a reward, and speaks rudely, is really the protector who shocked the Xiongnu and even the barbarians in the north?But after thinking about the words in those secret notes, he soon understood that he was just a rough old man who was born in the mountains and villages, and he could not expect him to say any good-sounding and obedient words.
What's more, he is such a straightforward person, and he has no great expectations, and he can use it for himself to frighten small countries in all directions. Don't worry if he wants to be promoted and favored.

Thinking of this, the emperor was not surprised at all, he just laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Aiqing really has a true temperament, but the protector of the country, Aiqing, don't want to refuse. Come here, draw up a decree, and promote the family members of the protector of the country." Immediately, I will move into Duke Huguo’s mansion, and the wife of the Duke will be appointed as a first-rank imperial order, and will be bestowed with brocade embroidery, jade shafts and ox horns.”

Originally speaking, it was surprising enough for the emperor to confer the title of General Protector as Lord Protector.It is said to be a seal, but in fact, the Duke Protector who has confiscated military power basically has no real power. What is the difference between relegation and relegation?The Emperor Piansheng then added a sentence that the Duke Protector of the Kingdom was authorized to enter the palace at any time, and he could also enter the study room to discuss matters.This is something to be considered, if it is said that the emperor is afraid of the protector, but he expresses his will to be close and trustworthy.Let's say he trusted the Lord Protector, but he took back the military talisman.

In contrast, Zhang Mandun's pleading for his wife's life just now did not really cause any disturbance, except for the secret jokes and ridicule of many people.At best, it's nothing more than making people mutter a few words in private, which doesn't affect the overall situation.

On the other hand, General Xiong's complexion darkened immediately after hearing the order.Although his daughter is the concubine's daughter of Fuguo General's Mansion, in terms of rank, she is far inferior to the title of Yipin Gaoming's wife.At most, his daughter is just praised a few more times...
If you look at it this way, even if your own daughter enters the Duke's Mansion, she will not be able to replace a small rural peasant woman as the main wife.But he is also reluctant to let his daughter lie down as a small concubine.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, stepped forward, knelt down and said, "I report to the emperor, I have something to say."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor's face, which was still quite good just now, turned a little strange. Seeing that he was still ignorant and wanted to speak, the emperor immediately said coldly: "In the court, if what is played is not a state matter, it is fine not to mention it. " After finishing speaking, he stroked his beard and warned Zhang Mandun on the ground, "I think it's your first time entering the court, don't worry about it, if there is a next time, you will be punished severely."

After saying this, General Xiong really had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, and he could only back down for a while.He couldn't disobey the emperor's wishes, so he decided to mention his daughter's marriage at this juncture.

After the court affairs were over, the emperor rubbed his forehead wearily, then waved his hand and retreated.But before everyone came over to congratulate Prince Rui and Duke Hu Guo, Zhang Lai, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, hurried over, saluted respectfully, and said that the emperor invited His Highness Prince Rui to go to the study to discuss matters.

And only the rough Zhang Mandun was left. Hearing the flattery, he also found it strange and boring, so he simply ignored it and strode directly outside the palace gate.When we got to the front of the hall and saw the six sons, we went out of Xuanwu Gate together to lead people away from the palace.

Of course, before the palace gate, he happened to meet General Xiong and others who were about to leave.Zhang Mantun thought of some rumors outside, and thought that this matter would have to be resolved sooner or later. He had no intention of getting his benefactor into trouble, but he would not compromise on it.If General Xiong was willing, he thought, it wouldn't be too difficult to suppress those tongue-in-cheek words in the capital.

Thinking of this, he asked General Xiong to slow down.After being polite, he saw that there was no one around, so he waved his hands to let the six sons stay nearby, and then said bluntly: "Farewell to the battlefield, the general is safe."

He learned these sour words from Zhu Neng.Before entering the palace, Zhu Neng had taught him that if he hears people's tricks, he should just pretend he doesn't know, and he doesn't have to give anyone a good look when he walks away.As for the unavoidable flattery from old acquaintances, just say it politely.

Seeing Zhang Mandun take the initiative to step forward, General Xiong's cold face turned slightly better.But in terms of words, he still hasn't recovered his strength, let alone being respectful.

Zhang Mandun didn't care about it, he hurried to speak clearly, and went back to find his wife, how could he have time to pester him if he had a good face?
"General, there have been some rumors in the capital recently, and I am also quite confused. I also hope that the general will help me suppress those rumors because of the friendship of my comrades. First, I will only have one wife in this life, and second, it is also for the reputation of the young lady." Zhang Mandun said decisively, "We are not people who love to play tricks, and I will not talk about it around the corner. His Highness once told me what the general mentioned to His Highness, but I couldn't agree with it. "

Seeing his straightforward words, General Xiong looked coldly, his bull's eyes the size of copper bells wished he could eat Zhang Mandun.

"Why, my daughter is not good enough for you?"

"Of course not. It's just that the general must know that a married wife should never be abandoned. Although I am reckless, I am not a wolf-hearted person. My daughter-in-law treats me wholeheartedly when she is in trouble and recklessness. Not everyone can compare to this friendship. Miss and I have the grace to save my life, but that kindness is nothing more than His Royal Highness's meaning, coupled with my identity. If I am still a villain in Taoshuwan, the general thinks that the lady will go to treat me? Or, general Will you come to His Highness?"
