Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 151

You know, generally speaking, even in your own courtyard, when receiving the imperial edict, the male relatives should avoid it, and there is only one case where the imperial envoy specifies that a certain person is present, and that is the imperial edict related to this person's disposal.
The queen's decree really has Lan Chenyan's name?It seems that the casual words left to help Lan Chenyan last time were actually right!
Soon, except for Shui Rou, who was suspected, all the generals in Mingyue Pass gathered in the meeting hall.
There was excitement on everyone's faces. Although it was a big mistake because the military newspaper was intercepted at the beginning, they held on to the Mingyue Pass with 30 remnants of the enemy's [-] army. When the reinforcements arrived, and with the assistance of Ning Yanjun's Ningzhou Army, they severely inflicted damage on the enemy and won a victory not seen in ten years.
"The imperial envoy is here!" Suddenly, there was an announcement from outside.
For a moment, there was no sound in the meeting hall.
After a while, a cold-faced woman walked in surrounded by a group of imperial guards.
Su Hanxiao couldn't help being stunned. The imperial envoy who came to deliver the order turned out to be the most trusted steward by the empress's side, Ling Xuan?
"His Royal Highness, Ningzhou Army Commander Ning Yanjun, Mingyue Pass Commander Shui Rou and his subordinate officers..." Ling Xuan said, scanning the past, but paused halfway through, "Why isn't General Shui Rou here?" ?”
Su Hanxiao and Ning Yanjun glanced at each other, and said indifferently: "Director Ling, General Shuirou is suspected of intercepting the Dayong Military News, and is currently under house arrest voluntarily. All the witnesses and evidence will be sent to the capital for His Majesty to make a decision."
"There is such a thing." Ling Xuan was surprised, but soon returned to normal, coughed twice, and continued, "The deputy general of Mingyue Pass, Shui Chuan, his generals, and the son of the marshal's mansion, Lan Chenyan, received the order." .”
"The ministers welcome the imperial decree." Everyone knelt down in unison.
Ling Xuan paused, and slowly unfolded the imperial decree.
Su Hanxiao knelt at the front, lowered her head, but she didn't listen to what she read. Anyway, the beginning of the imperial decree was full of praises, as if the victories won by the soldiers in bloody battles were the achievements of the emperor.The next steps are rewards and promotions, pensions for the deceased, and arrangements for serious injuries and disabilities, but it was the empress who surprised her this time!
The Mingyue Pass guards were transferred back to the capital to change defenses and rest, and the two generals Shu Jie and Yuan Hong were transferred back. The reinforcements in Ningzhou left 3 people, and those who were lacking were recruited again, and then [-] people were transferred from Yanzhou on the edge. Mingyue Pass is still under the command of Shui Rou... In the current situation, Shui Chuan will be the commander, waiting for the Queen's will.
After the old army of Mingyue Pass experienced this great war, the original 5 people dropped sharply to more than 2. Excluding those who were seriously injured or disabled and could not continue to serve in the army, only 1 remained.However, it is precisely these [-] people who have gone through hundreds of battles and are the elite of the elite!The two generals who were mobilized, Shu Jie was impatient but thoughtful, and Yuan Hong was rough and honest but had no intentions. How could such an iron army be transferred back to the capital?
Su Hanxiao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
What is the queen thinking?This imperial decree is obviously beneficial to him. After all, they have fought side by side for so long, and they have a good relationship with each other. However, Shu Jie and others have been at the border for a long time, and they have no connections in Beijing. After entering Beijing, they will naturally lean more towards her and become her confidant.It is of course an extra layer of protection to have an army leaning against him in the capital, but the series of reactions that will come with it may be difficult to predict.
In such a daze, Ling Xuan had finished reading the rewards for Ning Yanjun and other generals of Mingyue Pass.
"Finally..." Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes fell on Lan Chenyan.
Su Hanxiao was startled, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Lan Chenyan from the corner of his eye.
The next thing to talk about is to specify the reason for Lan Chenyan to be present!However, although Lan Chenyan has made a lot of contributions this time, he can't be an official or a general by himself, and the empress is not so enlightened. Besides, why isn't Mei Ruoshui here?If you reward treasures, you can wait until you return to the capital, and you can give Marshal Lan more face. Why are you so anxious?
At the same time on the city wall.
Mei Ruoshui sat on the roof of the watchtower where Su Hanxiao left just now, looking at the night sky in the distance.
Because of the arrival of the imperial envoy, the guards were all concentrated on the other side of Mingyue Pass and near the government office. Relatively speaking, this side was even more deserted.
"Ruoshui, so you are here." Bailiqing walked up the city wall slowly.
"It's windy here, what are you doing up here?" Mei Ruoshui frowned and jumped off the ground.
"I didn't see you in the room, so I came out to take a look." Bailiqing said lightly.
"No wonder Hanxiao likes to be there, the view is really good." Mei Ruoshui looked back at the dark roof and said suddenly.
"Your mind is disturbed." Bailiqing sighed.
"Sometimes I also wonder why I have to meet such a bad woman in this life." Mei Ruoshui said with a wry smile.
"Have you guessed the content of the imperial decree?" Baili Qing asked.
"A marriage." Mei Ruoshui didn't hesitate.
"Sad?" Bailiqing asked tentatively, but... Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be quite like him?
"I'm not that narrow-minded." Mei Ruoshui sighed, took a few steps forward, and leaned against the city wall.
"You are also for..." Bailiqing hesitated.
"Ah, the palace lord's instructions." Mei Ruoshui looked up into the distance and said after a pause, "I still don't understand why the palace lord told Hanxiao not to choose Lan Chenyan as the rightful monarch. Obviously, in what respect, There is no better choice than Lan Chenyan."
"I believe that Palace Master Mei has his reasons." Baili Qing said, "However, since His Majesty issued the imperial decree to bestow the marriage, Palace Master Mei did not stop it. Maybe he also acquiesced in this marriage? After all, at this moment , At that time, the current Highness is not the same as before leaving Beijing, whether it is reputation, status, or power."
