The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 79
The emperor stared at Meng Shulan for a long time, but finally the emperor compromised.

This kid didn't go to the morning court, he came after dinner, but he was still hungry!
In fact, this is not the first time Meng Shulan has approached him. Since the award for meritorious deeds, this kid has blocked him every day, but he was negligent today and was blocked by him.

The emperor rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, sighed, and then opened his mouth: "You should know what it means for a prince's family to stay in the capital forever."

Seeing the emperor's expression straightened, Meng Shulan stopped making jokes and knelt down honestly, as if admitting his mistake and listening to the training, so naturally he didn't answer the emperor's words.

The emperor glanced at Meng Shulan, and the corner of his mouth twitched, knowing that he must know the reason today before he would give up.

Originally, he wanted to hide it from the emperor, so he couldn't help but turned his head, thinking of other ways, but he was muttering in his heart, "If this bastard dares to chase after him, I'll just break his leg!"

Because of what Meng Shulan's father did back then, the emperor was very uncertain.

Especially when Meng Shulan just reminded him that their father and son are quite alike.

The emperor was thinking about how to make Meng Shulan more concerned about the overall situation, so his words were naturally slow, and it took a long time before he continued: "The prince's family stays in the capital for a long time to prevent the prince's rebellion. It has nothing to do with loyalty or not. , or whether the emperor is suspicious or not, this is just a means to reassure both parties."

Meng Shulan frowned.

He knew that there was nothing wrong with it, but he felt somewhat unrighteous.

"Not only the family members of princes and princes, but also the family members of some important ministers staying somewhere, the same reason."

The emperor continued, "One is to prevent problems before they happen, and the other is to allow him to concentrate on business and not be dragged down by family affairs."

The emperor paused, glanced at Meng Shulan, his lips moved slightly, and he hesitated to speak.

Looking at it, Meng Shulan knew that the emperor had finished talking about the pretense before, and he was probably thinking about some new pretense at the moment.

Where can I give him a chance?
So Meng Shulan tentatively asked with speculation: "So Ah Qing doesn't want fame, but wants to take Mrs. Hou out of Kangdu?"

The emperor pursed his lips, stared at Meng Shulan calmly, and sighed in his heart. For the first time, he felt that his nephew should be stupid, or pretend to be stupid like the third child, because it is easy to fool.

"Yes."

The emperor rolled his eyeballs under his half-drowned eyelids for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth, "The old general Qin Mang is old, and he only has one daughter, Qin Zhen. The father and daughter have been separated for twenty years, but one of them is an important frontier minister. Leaving easily, one is that the family members of princes and marquises are not allowed to leave the capital privately. Moreover, the journey from Kangdu to Beidi is a long way away, and there are many variables in it. For the sake of safety, I dare not let her leave the capital."

"Right now, both Yan Kangming and Yan Xiu have passed away, the position of Marquis of Zhenxi is vacant, and Yan Qing doesn't have any great fame and official position. If you want to take Qin Zhen away, this is the best opportunity."

Talking about this with Meng Shulan, the emperor also remembered Yan Qing's conversation with him when he summoned Yan Qing a few days ago.

In the royal study that day, the emperor asked Yan Qing after asking about the details of the battle: "With your contribution this time, it is enough to lead the army to the south. If you can subdue Li Dingshan's old troops and manage southern Xinjiang well, although I can't seal you as Marquis of the South, I will It can also make you Marshal of Southern Xinjiang. But why do you want to give Shu Lan the credit for this?"

"You know, if you don't have this kind of credit, everyone knows that those people who have sharpened their heads and want to take power will not agree with you, a girl, to take command and go south."

With such a great contribution, Yan Qing didn't even frown at that time: "My minister thanked the Holy Lord for his favor, but I have no intention of going south, nor do I have any intention of taking charge of the troops in southern Xinjiang."

"why?"

The emperor asked, "I heard that on the day of your father's and brother's funeral, you once announced on the street that you would be promoted as a woman, just like the Marquis of Anyuan. Now it is a great opportunity to go south, why don't you want to go south?"

During the questioning, the emperor suddenly lowered his eyes, his expression became a bit serious, "Could it be that you are still thinking about going back to Western Xinjiang?"

Facing the emperor's scrutinizing eyes, Yan Qing's expression was as usual: "The western border is governed by King Shujun, and it will surely be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability, so I don't need to worry about it. I also believe that there must be a better candidate for the south in the heart of the Holy One."

"The so-called Marquis Anyuan's second-class remarks are just the words of anger that my uncle was persecuting at the time, and I can't take them seriously."

As he spoke, Yan Qing paused, and suddenly raised his head to meet the emperor's eyes, and said sternly, "After this incident, I know that you can't have both in this world. Now that my grandfather is old, Jiaci has been separated from his grandfather for many years, and he has never been filial, and he often feels guilty. Moreover, the humble minister and Jiaci have also met less and separated more for many years."

"Therefore, I implore the Holy One to allow me to resign from office and leave Beijing, and take my family to the north to reunite with my grandfather's family."

Yan Qing bowed to the ground for a long time, but the emperor couldn't recover for a long time.

He has seen many veterans return home, and many courtiers have threatened him to compromise by resigning and returning home, but this is the first time he has seen a child with a bright future who gave up his bright future for his mother.

At this moment, under closer inspection, the emperor seemed to suddenly realize that this young courtier whom he favored, who had just made great achievements and was relied on by him, was actually a minor.

The emperor was a little dazed.

Looking back on Yan Qing's behavior in the past, people always ignore her age unconsciously and treat her as equal.

Looking at Yan Qing again, the emperor's expression was a little complicated.

He did not immediately agree to Yan Qing's request to resign, but instead asked her: "How old are you this year?"

The emperor suddenly asked such a nonsensical question, so Yan Qing couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so he had to answer honestly: "Wei Chen is fourteen this year."

The emperor was slightly startled, really immature?
Then he asked again: "How long do you have time to collect?"

Yan Qing was even more puzzled: "Wei Chen's first birthday is still more than two months away from the ceremony."

The emperor looked at Yan Qing, unable to calm down for a long time.

A 14-year-old child has been a pioneer in the frontier for four years. Yan Kangming is really willing to do it!

But soon he remembered that when Yan Qing played the vanguard for the first time back then, he was the one who personally appointed him.

Although she was young when she was holding the child, she would not take it seriously if she was discovered by bandits after going up the mountain in disguise. The person who arranged for her was just in case, so that she could go down the mountain.

But he never thought that she would really let her lead such a small group of people to take down the bandit village!

After that, Yan Qing's vanguard was confirmed, and Yan Kangming arranged to be the captain of the vanguard battalion in Er County. Later, for some reason, she became the commander of the vanguard battalion again, completely confirming her title of vanguard general .

After roughly sorting out what he knew about Yan Qing's achievements, the emperor found it inconceivable.

While being shocked in his heart, it also made his mind clearer.

He asked again: "Even if you want to resign and go north to reunite with your grandfather, why do you give Shu Lan the credit? There is no conflict between fame and resignation."
