In the past two days, a huge piece of unharmonious news suddenly came from Mobei.
This news was indeed so big that Emperor Lian Sheng was deeply shocked.
Let’s start with the reason.
The news said that Qi Jing's wife Fang Ruojiao declined the honor of being the wife of the country conferred by the emperor on the grounds that she had little talent and little virtue.
As a result, Jin Shang's face is a bit lost.
Since ancient times, I have only heard of a king rejecting a minister’s request, but never heard of a minister refusing a title. Moreover, the lady of the country is the highest honor among all destined wives. Which woman in the world would not be tempted by her?
Qi Jing's wife, on the other hand, was like throwing away carrots and cabbages from a roadside stall. She rejected them without even blinking.
Oh no, the wording was inappropriate. What they chose was to decline politely.
Fang Ruojiao said to her husband in private: "The imperial court never cares about us in Mobei. It doesn't provide supplies when we are free and doesn't support when we are in urgent need. My wife has long been dissatisfied with this. Today, I will show off my temper and refute their claims." Void and arrogant."
What she said was not empty talk, but was based on facts.
Since guarding Mobei, the Ministry of War has maintained a stingy style. They neither provide more food and grass, nor provide more iron tools, which makes the Qi army have to work hard to cultivate the land while training, otherwise, the military rations will not be enough to eat.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Nanyang Qiyu came to help. Otherwise, even the war horses would have been hungry.
In short, the court was living on a dime.
And this move really chilled the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.
Under such circumstances, how could I, Qi Fang, have the face to abandon the soldiers and enjoy the honor alone?
ah……
Qi Jing was in awe when he heard this and decisively expressed his support.
When entertaining the censor of the Ministry of Rites, he said to himself insinuatingly: "How can this kind of honorary title, which does not include food and drink, be as beneficial as ten thousand stone army rations?"
What does this mean? Is it a hint of request?
The censor of the Ministry of Rites was very angry after hearing this. He wanted to reprimand him for being ignorant of praise.
However, when he saw the small leather whip that Fang Ruojiao seemed to be raising, he swallowed the words that slipped to his lips.
A good man never suffers any immediate loss!
Let's dodge!
After returning to Beijing, the censor of the Ministry of Rites immediately reported what happened to the emperor.
result……
As a result, the emperor's complexion changed from white Pan An to black Li Kui.
Donkey of the production team

The water is not even that dark.
After his mood calmed down a little, the emperor whispered to himself: "Tell me, if you refuse the seal, where will my face turn?"
The censor of the Ministry of Rites observed the words and expressions. He saw that the dragon's face was a little darkened, so he hurriedly followed the wind and said: "Your Majesty, that Fang Ruojiao does not know the etiquette and law, and has no superiors. I still hope to issue a stern order!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly darkened.
"What? What's the decency of asking me to give orders to the wife of a minister? Besides, she has established immortal merits. If I give orders casually, wouldn't I become an unethical and cowardly king?"
"His Majesty!"
"Get out of here!"
"..."
In this matter, the emperor suffered a big defeat.
Even if he had the power of thunder, which could lay down millions of corpses, he would never be able to compete with a woman like Fang Ruojiao.
Now that something has happened, we have to find a solution.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the reward. Regardless of whether Fang Ruojiao is willing or not, he must accept it. If you can't seal it out, you will not only appear to be joking, but you will also become the laughing stock of the world.
The emperor who cherished feathers made the correct judgment immediately.
Hum, doesn't Qi Jing want ten thousand stones of military rations?
I reward him!
that is! What a big deal!
After his heroic spirit was over, the emperor couldn't help but said in annoyance: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have done this. Now I have not only consumed food, but also given Qi Fang a great honor in vain. What a big loss!"
At present, everything is in order, but there is still a lack of a high-ranking and respected official to serve as the censor of the army and go to handle this matter.
It's called purchase, but it's actually lobbying.
No matter what, Fang Ruojiao must be persuaded to accept the imperial canonization. If something unexpected happens again, it will really become a big joke.
Therefore, the officials who went on this trip must have prestige to convince the public, or at least be able to suppress Qi Jing.
Looking at the entire court, it seems that Lu Boxuan is the most suitable.
He is a dignified second-in-command, with a high position and authority. If he can go there in person, it will definitely show that the court attaches enough importance to him. No matter how much Qi Jing relies on his merits, he will have to give him a few points to get down the steps, right?
Well, that’s it!
After receiving the urgent order, Lu Boxuan set off at starry night and rushed to Mobei with military supplies.
At this point in the book, the turmoil over Lady Guo's canonization has come to an end. Now, let's turn the topic back to Nanyang.
The commander makes Duan Zi become successful
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After obtaining the war horses, he immediately mobilized shipping ships, and then sailed to Annan with fully loaded horses and baggage.
Because the matter was so important, he decided to go there in person to explain it.
This is the first cavalry unit since the founding of Qiongzhou. How dare you not take it seriously?
Must go in person.
The Annan Mansion guard Haitao was surprised to learn that the Inspector had arrived in person, and he quickly led his subordinates to form a group to greet him, to show the importance of etiquette.
The two met first, and then the handover matter took place.
"What? These war horses are all equipped for Annan?" Haitao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he swallowed his saliva.
"How could I lie to you?" Duan Zicheng said, stroking his beard and smiling.
"Oh my, I have always dreamed of building an elite cavalry force. Now, this dream can finally come true!"
"Um……"
After the handover was completed, Haitao was busy setting up a banquet in the Chinese military tent to entertain the commander Duan who had come from afar.
However, alcohol is still prohibited at this military banquet.
Duan Zicheng smiled happily after seeing it and said, "General Hai runs the army strictly and has the style of the legendary Qi family army."
Huh?
Why did it suddenly involve Qi Jiajun?
Haitao was startled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Master Duan's comparison seems to be a bit over-the-top..."
Before he could finish his words, Duan Zicheng interrupted: "General, you studied under Qi Jing, and you are also his adopted son. A son who respects his father's style, how can you say that you should be honored?"
After hearing this, Haitao was startled again and asked hurriedly: "Master Duan... do you know everything?"
"Oh, I see."
"Then, how did you know?"
Duan Zicheng smiled calmly and explained: "On the day when the Qiongzhou Prefectural Army was established, I accompanied Mr. Qi to review the three armies. At that time, I happened to see the military uniform you were wearing, so I knew it. "
Haitao shook his head, expressing his confusion.
Duan Zicheng added: "To tell you the truth, the dress you were wearing at that time was a model dress designed by Miss Qi herself and later ordered by me. To prevent confusion, I also made some work on the dress. I had some secret notes, so when we first met, I guessed that there was a personal relationship between you and the eldest lady. Then, I sent someone to investigate secretly, and unexpectedly found the clues. I finally concluded that you are General Qi Jing His adopted son Hong Tao."
Tsk tsk~~
This ginger is indeed still spicy!
