Su Wan was silent. It turned out that she had been thinking too much before.
The emperor didn't care at all who she married, all he cared about was the 100,000 military power that was enough to shake the country.
Now, the foreign countries have been pacified and the territory of the Jin Kingdom has expanded to a certain position. His generation will have enough achievements to be written into the history books in the future.
But he didn't want anything to happen again during his years in office, so he had to take precautions.
A prosperous country no longer needs to worry about war, so what use are those generals?
What is the use of those generals holding these military powers?
This matter is really difficult to weigh. Who would give up these 100,000 soldiers so easily?
Once they give up, the Jiang Guogong Mansion in the future will be just an empty shell, no different from the nominal Hou Mansion.
That's why Jiang Yucai said that the turning point in this matter lies with his father.
And as his son, he has grown up so much, and he has not fulfilled the responsibilities of a prince. He can't just ask his father to give up military power, right?
If it didn't work, he would leave Kyoto with Su Wan and go to Zhongzhou.
The worst possible outcome is that he will never return to Kyoto in this life, but what will Su Wan's family do?
Could it be that just to be with him, he selfishly asked her to give up her family and hide with him in Zhongzhou for the rest of her life?
So this matter also made Jiang Yu very distressed. There were some words that he didn't know how to say. It wasn't that he didn't understand them at all.
Everyone understands the truth, but no one has a position.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Su Wan changed the topic and asked about his body instead.
Now that she knows it now, she should understand that the Holy Emperor's purpose is to take back military power, not her.
Inviting her to watch the ceremony was actually just to force them and make them anxious.
Since you don't have to worry about marrying Murong Huai, what do you have to worry about? Zuo is just dragging it on. He has been waiting for so many years and doesn't care about the past few months.
"I'm much better now, and I'll be able to get out of bed in a few days."
The beating was real, it was no joke, thirty big boards was enough to kill a weak woman.
Fortunately, he is a practicing practitioner, so he handled it in time and the problem was not big.
After doing this for a long time, Su Wan was worried about nothing.
After that, Su Wan stayed with him for a long time and then went back. He couldn't keep his eldest brother and sister-in-law waiting, right?
On the way back, Su Wan told his elder brother about the matter.
Su Jing was not surprised. He had thought of this, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
It was hard for him to say anything about this matter.
All I can say is that it was just the right time. If he were in the Holy Spirit's position, he would do the same thing.
"Wan Wan, big brother can't help you with this matter. It involves military power, and you and I have no right to interfere."
Su Jing wanted to help, but this was a matter of military power, and as a civil servant, he couldn't intervene.
Su Wan nodded. She didn't even think about asking her elder brother for help. She didn't know where to put her efforts when she wanted to be busy. It was really annoying.
…
Duke Jiang Guo returned to Duke Jiang's mansion very late. When he came back, he packed up all the things in the military camp.
Weapons used for daily training, armor changed, there are a lot of messy things anyway.
He has moved back to his second home in the military camp.
When he went to court the next morning, Jiang Guogong took a box and put on his bright red official robe.
Jiang Yu originally thought that he would discuss the matter with him after he went to court, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Above the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the eunuch had just finished shouting the words, "Come on if you have something to do, retreat if nothing happens", when Jiang Guogong stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The Holy Emperor looked at Duke Jiang who came out and knelt down, raised his eyebrows, and turned the yellow jade dragon-patterned finger on his thumb, his brows unconsciously feeling a bit good.
"Mr. Jiang Guo, if you have anything to do, tell me!"
The Holy Spirit is really an old fox. Even though everything is under his control, he still pretends to know nothing.
"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom is peaceful and peaceful, and there is no war or disturbance. I have been thinking about it for a long time. I am already old, and now my old illness has recurred, and the pain is unbearable. I have long been powerless to deal with the military camp. Now I only want to retire as soon as possible. , I am recuperating and recuperating at home, looking forward to having my children get married, and having descendants around my knees in the future. Today, I am returning the tiger talisman to the court. I hope that the emperor will allow me to remove my armor because I have worked hard for most of my life and have suffered from all kinds of illnesses!"
In the hall, Duke Jiang Guo said this and presented the box containing the tiger talisman with both hands.
As soon as he said this, both Su Jing and Su Chen were shocked. They thought that there would be more twists and turns in this matter, but they didn't expect that Jiang Guogong would compromise so quickly.
At the same time, the Duke of Tang, as well as Murong Sheng, Murong Huai and other princes were shocked.
Once Jiang Guogong decides to hand over military power, it means that his line is of little use, and they can no longer rely on wooing Jiang Guogong's government to control the 100,000 military power.
For a while, everyone had their own concerns.
There are advantages and disadvantages to letting Duke Jiang Guo give up his military power.
The Holy Emperor did not react immediately, but was silent for a moment before speaking:
"Jiang Guogong's old illness has relapsed. Do you need to arrange for an imperial doctor to take a look at you?"
I really don’t quite understand the Holy Spirit’s gentle policy.
It was as if he was not worried about whether the military power could be returned to his hands.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, but there is no need to bother with the imperial doctor. Since it is an old disease, it will relapse, and it is useless to see the imperial doctor. Your Majesty, I just want to go home to recuperate. I hope that the Holy One will grant me your permission."
Mr. Jiang Guo lowered his head a little lower and spoke sincerely.
The emperor no longer played with the jade ring, but instead stroked his beard.
After hesitating and thinking for a while, he winked at Mr. Lu and motioned him to get the military talisman.
"Mr. Jiang Guo, you must think clearly. Once you take back this military talisman, you cannot go back on it. This is the honor bestowed by Taizu to you, the Jiang family. You, the Jiang family, have been guarding our country of Jin for three generations. Now that you have taken back your military power, Is the only thing you want is to go home and recuperate? If you have other requests, I can also consider what can satisfy you and try my best to satisfy you."
The emperor felt that he was not the kind of unreasonable person. Since he had achieved what he wanted, he naturally couldn't go too far.
Hit it with a stick and give it a sweet date. You can seize the opportunity yourself.
"Your Majesty, this is a decision I made after much thought. To get to where I am today, I took it from the people and used it for the people. Thanks to the emperor's great kindness, I won half the honor. Now the war has been decided, the world is peaceful, and the remaining Holding this tiger talisman will not help the situation, it is better to return it to the court, but before that, I still have one wish and hope the emperor will allow it."
