"Your Majesty should know that I am not a weak woman!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyes to look at the emperor, his eyes full of determination, "I am a woman, but I am no different than my elder brother. I dare to say that in my court, whether it is tactics or horse racing, In Kung Fu, it is extremely difficult for anyone to be better than me! I have heard my father talk about the world of Northern Xinjiang since I was a child, and no one can understand that place better than me!"
The emperor was silent and did not speak for a long time.
"The Xu family is full of soldiers. Even if I am a woman, when the building is about to collapse, even a young child will have to stand on it. There are my father, brother, and future husband at the border. No matter what, I have to leave. This time, if the world refuses, let my uncle lead the army. Your Majesty, please allow your daughter to accompany the army!" Xu Qingmo's eyes were already slightly red.
"Tell me, if you leave, what will happen to your mother and your brother?" The emperor's eyes were already red.
What he lost was his beloved general and his close friend for many years. His sadness was unspeakable, and he would do anything to protect the last bloodline of the Xu family.
"Father, the Xu family has me!" Princess Zhengyang suddenly knelt down, "My daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. My daughter can take good care of the Xu family so that Mo Mo will have no worries! Yan Quan has said more than once, if Mo Mo She is a man, who will be stronger than them, and has General Yan to protect her. Give her a chance, just in case, just in case..."
Princess Zhengyang's tears could no longer be suppressed and kept falling drop by drop.
The emperor clenched his fists tightly: "Even if there is really no one left in our court, I still have a son, and the prince will..."
"Your Majesty, do you want to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Xu Qingmo stared into the emperor's eyes and said word by word.
The emperor's fists clenched tighter and tighter, but he did not speak.
"Does Your Majesty really not know about the prince's wild ambitions?" Xu Qingmo had no intention of letting the emperor go just like that. She looked into the emperor's eyes and pressed forward step by step, "The formula of gunpowder has always been the secret treasure of our dynasty. Northern Xinjiang Does your Majesty really not know why gunpowder suddenly appeared?"
"presumptuous!"
"Yes, I am being presumptuous!" Xu Qingmo shouted as if he was desperate, "The prince is your majesty's son, isn't the seventh prince the same? Your majesty has never thought that the seventh prince who went to the battlefield for the first time would be forced to be alone. Before you lined up your entire army, did your Majesty ever think about my father, brother, and your daughter’s husband? They fought bravely for the territory and face of our dynasty. What did they do wrong? They want to become your infinite enemy to the prince. A victim of pampering!”
Yan Shaojun and He Anye, who were kneeling aside, never thought that Xu Qingmo would be so bold and dare to say such words.
"Bold, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" The emperor looked at Xu Qingmo coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"For the sake of a deceased empress, Your Majesty pretended to be affectionate and spoiled His Highness the Crown Prince into a useless person. Will the world say that Your Majesty is affectionate? Your Majesty is the king of a country. He should put the world and the country first, not for the sake of the country. That love between husband and wife who are destined but not separated!" Xu Qingmo was not afraid at all, "The prince is ridiculous and incompetent. If your majesty continues to be partial, what hope does Dazhou have!"
Seeing that the emperor was getting more and more angry, the queen hurriedly walked up to the emperor and said: "How dare you not go down yet? If you stay here, it will hinder His Majesty's eyes. Go quickly, go quickly!"
Xu Qingmo was dragged out by two uncles.
That night, the emperor vomited blood, and the queen was so anxious that she arrested the entire imperial hospital. She originally thought that something big was going to happen to the emperor, but instead, the hospital chief said: "Your Majesty, you have vomited out the blood in your heart. This is a good thing." ! After taking some medicine and recuperating for a period of time, the person will be almost better!"
Early the next morning, the emperor still went to court. His face was ugly, but he still managed to listen to their argument.
"The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we should negotiate for peace."
"The border is in deep trouble and there is no time to delay."
"Who will fight?"
Silence fell.
The emperor looked at the ministers in front of him. Several of his sons were huddled in the corner. The only prince who stood tall was doing dirty things behind his back. The emperor sneered: "You have had enough quarrels, haven't you? In the end, we couldn't even find a supporting general." Come out, right?”
"Since you can't choose, let me choose!" The emperor stood up and looked at the civil and military officials underground, his eyes growing more and more disappointed.
"Biography, daughter of the Xu family, Xu Qingmo!" The emperor took a deep breath.
The palace servants were full of surprise, but they still shouted according to the script.
Xu Qingmo came slowly, and accompanying her was Mrs. Xu who was wearing imperial uniform.
The mother and daughter are not strong, and even look a little fragile, but they walk very firmly.
Mrs. Xu took Xu Qingmo and slowly knelt in front of the hall. Mrs. Xu had just given birth and her body had not yet fully recovered. Her face was slightly pale: "My wife, Mrs. Xu, brings my young daughter Xu Qingmo to pay homage to Your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed!"
Xu Qingmo lowered his head and said nothing.
The emperor looked at Xu Qingmo and saw that she was holding her neck and not speaking, so he understood that she was resenting him in her heart. The emperor did not feel angry and smiled: "Get up!"
Many people in the court didn't understand the purpose of the emperor's move, but the prince began to panic. He knew that Xu Qingmo had met the emperor when he entered the palace. While here, he inexplicably felt a hint of crisis.
"The enemy is strong and we are weak? We should negotiate for peace? This is what you upright men say. Do you know what Miss Xu told me? She said that she would go to Northern Xinjiang with the army because his father and brothers are there. And you men are here asking me to negotiate peace, cede territory to pay compensation, and sacrifice women and children. Don't you feel ashamed?" The emperor looked coldly at the men in front of him who always stood up to seven feet tall, with eyes full of anger. It's all contempt.
There was complete silence in the court hall, except for Xu Qingmo's sneer.
But just this sneer was like a knife stabbing the self-esteem of these men. Some people began to insult: "Women are not allowed to join the army. This is military regulations. Miss Xu, this is just nonsense, Si Chen... "
"Shut up!" The emperor raised his eyes suddenly, "Military regulations are set by the royal family, so I will change them today!"
Xu Qingmo looked up at the emperor, feeling a little strange.
"I authorize Xu Qingmo, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, to lead the army to Northern Xinjiang with the commander-in-chief seal. Yan Shaojun and He Wenlin will serve as deputy generals and accompany the army!" The emperor's voice was not loud, but it was very clear.
"Your Majesty, think twice..."
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
He knelt down on the ground. The emperor looked at it, his eyes becoming colder and colder: "The treasury is empty. The Qingyuan He family has offered ten thousand taels of gold. How much are you, trash who can only shout, prepared to offer?"
