Step on a branch

Chapter 180

A sense of helplessness filled my heart.

Those are the old people, the ancestors, and also the young people in Huang Taishi's view.

Even Lin Han, the oldest among them, is still a "little young man" compared to today's Grand Master Huang.

Huang Taishi thought, he is old, but those people are not old.

Those who left first couldn't do anything for Da Zhou, and those old bones who survived could do less and less.

Just like Yongning Hou said to him, once they close their eyes again, what will be left in the future of Dazhou?
Grand Master Huang turned his head, his eyes gliding over the civil and military ministers standing on the left and right.

There were almost no faces older than him.

And these young people...

Almost uncontrollably, a long sigh leaked from his lips.

Very heavy, also very bitter.

If you miss your old friend again, your old friend will never come back.

Then, those who can still stand here now must leave something for Da Zhou.

Even if it is the bones of this body that are too old and loose.

Grand Master Huang took a step sideways, stood in the middle of the Golden Luan Hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I went to the Yongning Hou Mansion to visit the sick. After learning about the battle situation, the old Hou Ye was very excited. He hoped to be recruited. To preside over the battle."

Because Taishi Huang lowered his head, he did not see the expression of the emperor on the dragon chair.

Fan Taibao saw it clearly.

There was a bit of impatience on the emperor's face.

"Oh," the impatience was not only on the face, but also in the voice, the emperor said, "Since the grand master has visited, tell everyone, how is Qin Aiqing's health?"

Since Grand Master Huang is determined to speak this way, he will not be silenced by the objection in the emperor's tone.

He said: "Under the conditioning of the imperial physician, I can already walk a few steps."

"Can you ride a horse? Can you wield a knife? Can you go all the way and return all the way?" asked the emperor.

"Going to the border, any outcome is possible, no one can guarantee that he will come back alive, even the grandson of the minister may not come back..." Huang Taishi wanted to raise his voice first, but when he reached the end, he wanted to raise his voice, "only……"

The emperor directly interrupted him: "It is possible to die there anyway, so Qin Aiqing has to go even if she is seriously ill?"

These words are harsh.

It was not Huang Taishi who was stabbed, but the other ministers.

After all, it sounds very unpleasant and disgraceful for a general who has fallen ill to fight for his life again.

All of a sudden, murmurs and murmurs sounded, buzzing and buzzing in the huge Golden Luan Hall, almost deafening.

Fan Taibao stood beside Huang Taishi, lowered his eyes, and waved his hands in an attempt to wink with Huang Taishi.

He didn't figure it out either, it was clear that when he came back from visiting his doctor that day, Grand Master Huang objected to Marquis Yongning going out with his illness.

This kind of opposition is the sympathy of colleagues for many years.

Why did Grand Master Huang suddenly change his mind today?

Huang Taishi took Fan Taibao's reminder into his eyes, but he didn't take half a step back according to his thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, ignoring all the mutterings, Taishi Huang said word by word: "Marquis Yongning can't ride a horse yet, and he can't lift a knife, but he has a clear mind, what is sick is his body, not his brain.

If Southern Shu joins forces with Xiliang to put pressure on Feimen Pass and other passes in the south, isn't what our Great Zhou needs most right now is a prestige and capable general who can coordinate the overall military affairs?

The court has always said that Marquis Yongning is not a wise general, he is a sharp knife, but it depends on who he is compared with.

Compared with those talented people, the old Hou Ye lost more than them, but compared with the ones that Dazhou can pick out now, the old Hou Ye has experience and prestige, and he can suppress all the local troops.

In matters of strategy, he can cooperate with the advisers, but he has to be the one who promises everything.

Marquis Yongning was there to suppress the formation, not to hack and kill.

If he was stationed in Feimen Pass and had to consider whether to carry a knife, Da Zhou would also be in jeopardy! "

These words suppressed those voices of doubt.

Thinking about it left and right, the truth is indeed such a truth.

Who said the coach has to lift the knife?

What is missing at the border now is not those who carry knives, but those who guard the market.

Isn't the menacing Marquis of Yongning just such a character?

Oh.

He is sick now, and his aura is probably no longer aggressive.

However, if the tiger is sick, he is still a tiger. If he really treats him as a sick cat and slaps him with his paw, who can bear it?

Otherwise, let the old Hou Ye sit in Feimenguan and be a statue for all parties to offer?

The voice of discussion gradually rose again.

The idea in it has changed from the previous one.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, condescending, and could clearly see the reaction of the people below. The palms on the armrests gradually tightened into fists.

Over the years, Taishi Huang has always been a courtier who is very good at winking.

What is going crazy today?

After he expressed his unwillingness to let Qin Yin go, even if he disagreed with the character of Taishi, he would not say anything to the meeting.

No matter how much he thinks, the grand master will enter the imperial study after the next court, and have a sincere conversation with him.

Instead of, like now, making a long speech at the court meeting!

Huang Taishi is a man of great eloquence, and he is a good hand at influencing people's hearts.

Look, just these few words made the officials of the main hall change their minds.

Once everyone agrees...

The emperor's fist clenched tighter and tighter.

Officials forced the king, ah!
Gritting his teeth heavily, the emperor managed to calm down and sighed: "What the grand master said is reasonable, but I don't want Qin Aiqing to be seriously ill and go out to fight. The Martial Commander who was able to confer the title of prince when the dynasty opened is still by my side now." , very few, if anything happened to Qin Aiqing, I..."

Master Huang closed his eyes.

Who can afford it?

Could he just watch Qin Yin, who was once magnificent and single-handed, go to the border to work hard?

Who is not an old man?
Who doesn't know what it's like to lose energy and physical strength from the body and feel powerless?
It is precisely because he knows that he can better understand the state of mind of Marquis Yongning.

Opening his eyes, Grand Master Huang raised his head, looked straight at the emperor, and said earnestly: "In the words of Marquis Yongning, I saw the ardent pursuit of loyalty by an important official who founded the dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With the old Hou Ye's age and body, this time may be his last chance to fight for Da Zhou.

If everything is peaceful at the border, the old Hou Ye would definitely like to enjoy his life in Beijing and live happily ever after, so that he can end his life well, start well and end well.

However, the army was pressing down on the border and the border was in an emergency. He was unable to fight due to his health, and he regretted and felt guilty.

It’s okay to win, it’s really a heavy loss..."

The words "heavy losses" are unlucky and ugly.

But who can say that Huang Taishi blindly sings bad news?

Just a few days ago, just these four words were written there stroke by stroke on the military newspaper delivered to the capital from Feimen Pass!

　Thanks to book friend Tongtong 1609 for the reward.
