Chapter 163 "This can't be done... Oh no, I'm not saying that Young Master Jiang can't do it as a commander, but I just made a big mistake. Returning to the Weiwei army so soon, I'm afraid people's hearts will be shaken and it will be difficult to convince the public."
Su Yu was sweating profusely and kowtowed heavily, hoping that Jiang He could take back his life.
"I'm in charge of important military matters. I'm just a spy captain, and I only have a dozen people under my command. If they don't accept it, it'll be fine if someone changes their uniform."
Jiang He comforted her gently, as if this was not a big deal.
"Your Highness the Queen, this... it's really hard for me to forgive this villain, I mean..."
"Shut up first!" Jiang Ben waved his hand suddenly, interrupting Su Yu's refusal, "If you can't obey my order, what's going on with me?"
Is he easy to handle?
"How come I, the noble auxiliary son of the State of Qi, have to be a dog, in charge of the guards, and squat in Xianyang to guard the house for him?"
After Jiang Ben said this, he awkwardly waved to Su Yu who looked up at him: "I didn't say you were a dog."
I mean, they're both dogs.
There are three central armies of the Yong Kingdom: the Langzhongling Army is the personal bodyguard of the king, with nearly a thousand people; the Weiwei Army is responsible for guarding the palace, with 2 people; and the Lieutenant Army is responsible for the security of the Gyeonggi area, with 5 people.
In Jiang Ben's mind, Weijun was the gatekeeper of the palace.
If he were to be the leader, he would not only watch the door, but also make noises.
Besides, Zhao Zheng, a person with such ulterior motives, might have dug a hole for him to jump out of.
For example, if the Yong Kingdom goes to war with the Qi Kingdom in the future, Jiang Ben raises his head and sees Zhao Zheng's men behind and to the left and right. He is directly pushed to the ground and beheaded, which saves Zhao Zheng the trouble of seizing the enemy general's head among thousands of troops.
The enemy general's head is in his hand.
My sister was so soft-hearted that she was easily deceived by that person.
"Did I say that I won't let you be the Young Master of Qi?"
Jiang He picked up the iron tongs and smashed the chestnuts he brought with him, peeled them open, rolled them in coarse sugar, skewered them with iron skewers, and put them on the stove to bake, with a slow and leisurely look on his face.
"You are very free now. Over in Qi State, my father is not in a hurry to let you go back. You are in charge. When I find a suitable person, I will drive you back to Qi State."
Jiang Ben curled his lips and remained unmoved, but although he was aggrieved at this moment, he was much better than the lifeless look he had when he first entered the door.
Jiang He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Also, there are only three of us now, and I won't hide it from you. When we go to war with Wei State in the next year, if you want to save someone's life for personal gain, you have to be a little capable, right?"
She glanced at Jiang Ben and handed him a bunch of roasted chestnuts.
Jiang Ben looked dazed and his cheeks were slightly red.
Whose life should be spared?Are you talking about Wei Zipei?
If the Weiwei Army was under his control, he could indeed take the opportunity to develop friendships with several marching generals.
But a girl like Wei Zipei wouldn't survive in this world if her country was destroyed, right?
Chestnuts are very sweet, but Jiang Ben feels very bitter.
"Let me think again."
He took off a bamboo stick and handed it to Su Yu.
"People from Suen don't have to think about it. It's better to go back and be a captain than to stick to the official line."
Su Yu saved his life, Jiang Ben always remembered it in his heart.
"It's all the same," Su Yu replied, "Even if the villain doesn't guard it, someone else has to guard it. The transmission of urgent intelligence sometimes determines the success or failure of the war."
Jiang He smiled and put the chestnut into his mouth and chewed it, dispelling the cold in the hot and sweet fragrance, without further persuasion.
When we left, the heavy snow outside had just stopped.
The vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth looks clean, but because it is covered too much, it gives off a sense of danger.
The open space in front of the door has been cleaned many times. Su Yu personally removed the ice and snow from the wheels and sent Jiang He back.
She went out without any escort, only Jiang Ben drove with her.
Su Yu cautiously followed the car on horseback, scolding the deputy commander of the Wei army eight hundred times in his heart.
How could the queen be allowed to go out like this? Don't you know the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace?Now that the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, there are countless killers lurking into the Yong Kingdom to seek revenge.
The queen is alone out of the city for dozens of miles. What should she do if something goes wrong? How stupid!asshole!Freeloader offal!
The more Su Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could immediately return to the Xianyang Guards Commander's Mansion and slap the deputy commander in the face.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Jiang Ben's voice.
"Who is in front?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat and he drew his sword and looked forward.
A man holding a donkey stood in front, blocking Jiang He's way.
He was covered in snow, his short boots were soaked through, and his face was purple from the , that pair of upright eyes showed a familiar stern look from Su Yu.
In the Yong court, there was only one person with such eyes.
The imperial censor, Feng Jie.
"There are many people in the city," Feng Jie said loudly, "We have come outside the city to have a few words with the queen." Su Yu felt relieved and sheathed the sword, but kept his fingers on the handle.
Jiang He's voice came from inside the carriage.
"It's cold outside, Mr. Feng, please get in the car and talk."
Jiang He had dealt with Feng Jie several times, and he felt helpless towards this man who refused to take hard and soft although he is arrogant, he is very upright. He recently eliminated the spies in the court, clearly discerned the details, and made a lot of efforts.
Feng Jie shook his head and stood up straighter.
"The carriage is cramped and the outside is wide, so no one can enter."
"Ah, you are ignorant..." Jiang Ben was halfway through speaking when the carriage door had He got out of it, held Jiang Ben's hand, and carefully stepped out of the carriage.
"Silence!" she scolded.
Jiang Ben quickly took out a small broom and cleared an open space.
"I wonder if Master Feng has any advice." Jiang He nodded.
Feng Jie always gets straight to the point when talking to people and is never polite.
"Today, I met the Holy Emperor and learned that Your Majesty intends to promote Qi State's young master Jiang Bi to take charge of the Weiwei Army."
"I'm here to ask, is this the queen's idea?"
"If it wasn't the queen's idea, the queen knew about it but didn't stop it. She was in the back position and allowed the king to be stupid."
"If it was the queen's idea, then the queen is harboring evil intentions and being disloyal to the country, and your majesty is ignorant and unworthy of the throne."
"I would like to ask, are Princess Jiang of Anguo, a descendant of Taigong Wang, a descendant of Sun Wu, and King Zhou You and Queen Baosi the same person?"
"I would like to ask, is the queen preparing to usurp power and seize the throne with the intention of treason by promoting her relatives to important positions?"
Feng Jie kept talking impassionedly, and every word he said was like drawing a knife and stabbing someone, with the sword drawing blood.
Jiang Ben, who was behind Jiang He, was so angry that he couldn't speak. Although Jiang He warned him to keep silent, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pointed at Feng Jie and trembled all over.
It's all because he drank too much recently and his movements are slow.
Otherwise, I would have given this stubborn old man a slap in the face long before my sister stopped him.
Su Yu, who was behind the carriage, was also shocked and stepped forward. He couldn't help but salute: "Master Feng, Young Master Jiang has rejected Her Royal Highness the Queen's suggestion."
Jiang He raised his hand to stop Su Yu's next explanation.
"Master Feng," Jiang He put a hand on his abdomen and said in a clear voice, "Whether you believe it or not, it is indeed your majesty's decision to promote Jiang Bi. Whether your majesty is an idiot or not, I don't think so. There are three reasons."
She took a step forward with a solemn expression and a gentle tone. She didn't seem to be angry at Feng Jie's accusation.
"I would like to hear the details."
"First, your Majesty trusts Jiang Ben; second, your Majesty trusts me; third, your Majesty trusts Mr. Feng." Jiang He said eloquently.
"Your Majesty trusts Jiang Bi, so he is willing to send him to do things; Your Majesty trusts me, so he is willing to appoint his relatives; His Majesty trusts Mr. Feng, so he is willing to tell the truth about the matter, thinking that Mr. Feng can figure out the key and will not do it to Jiang. Before Ben could do anything, he filled the court hall with memorials of death remonstrances."
"But -" Jiang He changed the topic, "Your Majesty made a mistake in trusting me."
"What's wrong?" Feng Jie prided himself on being smart, but he felt that he was being bypassed by Jiang He.
"Your Majesty is wrong. Jiang Ben is unwilling to do anything for the Yong Kingdom. Your Majesty is wrong. I really want to have a few relatives in power in the court so that I will not be lonely thousands of miles away from my hometown. Your Majesty is wrong again. Mr. Feng is not willing to freeze to death in the city. Foreign official said, we must also stop my carriage."
As she spoke, she put the stove into Feng Jie's arms and said warmly: "Master Feng, your daughter is marrying at home. Do you know how much a daughter who marries far away hopes to have relatives around her?"
Feng Jie looked shocked and did not take over the furnace, but Jiang He had already let go.
He hugged her subconsciously, and the hot breath warmed his body. Suddenly he felt sour and a little embarrassed.
Marrying a daughter far away...
The woman in front of me is already the queen of King Yong, but she still feels aggrieved for marrying far away? His daughter was indeed married close to her, so she prepared a meal and took her home, and the soup and porridge were still hot.
"Besides," Jiang He said, "the Yongguo Guards only have 2 people. Apart from him, aren't they all His Majesty's subjects? Does anyone dare to follow him in rebellion?"
"His Majesty summoned the prince of a country for nothing. He himself felt that he was taking advantage of him. Jiang Ben also felt that he had lost his status and refused to agree."
Jiang He pursed his lips and said, "My lord, you are worrying too much."
"Also," she said with a sad and embarrassed expression, she was about to cry, "Bao Si brought disaster to the country and the people to the point of the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty, but I built canals and diverted water for the Yong State, cured His Majesty's illness, and taught the art of war to the army. Sir, so Said, it’s over.”
Feng Jie looked constrained, his face flushed and speechless. Although it was cold, sweat broke out on his forehead.
After thinking about it, he simply took a step back and knelt down.
"The humble minister made a mistake and please punish me, Queen."
Jiang He sniffed and asked him to get up, and said calmly: "I'll punish you and drive back with me. It's cold outside. If a minister like the imperial censor freezes to death, I will be considered a disaster for my beauty." .”
Feng Jie was ashamed but did not dare to refuse.
When he climbed into the carriage stiffly, he heard Jiang Ben say: "I have changed my mind. Since my sister feels that she is alone without any relatives around her, I will do something to do something. But the salary is there, right? I am worth a lot, so I have to do something." Give me more..."
The young man driving the carriage chattered incessantly.
Feng Jie, who had not yet climbed onto the carriage, slipped on his feet and almost fell off again.
