Chapter 189 How dare you defy the order in public?

Xiao Qishu actually dared to resist the order and was disrespectful. The whole court was in an uproar and couldn't believe it.

"Did I hear you right? General Xiao actually said that he did not want to go to the south to quell the rebellion. This is a blatant slap in His Majesty's face!"

"No, I thought General Xiao was so loyal to His Majesty, but he turned out to be such a scoundrel. I was wrong about him!"

Prime Minister Jiang also stood up and sarcastically said: "General Xiao has just returned to Beijing to resume his official position, and he disrespects His Majesty the Emperor so much. Is he trying to rebel?"

Xiao Yiran also stood up very rudely and spoke righteously to Xiao Qishu: "Brother-in-law, the emperor asked you to go to the south because he wanted to give you merit, so that when you come back, you can be promoted to a higher position. Why don't you agree? Really? It’s so chilling!”

Half of the people in the court were busy with Xiao Qishu, but Cheng Wentian stood there, looking at Xiao Qishu with an inquiring look in his eyes. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so there was no movement.

Xiao Qishu put his hands behind his back and looked arrogant: "Your Majesty, I haven't found the military talisman. I can't mobilize the three armies. Even if I go to the south to redress, there will be no troops to lead. If I go, it will be a dead end."

"You still dare to mention the military talisman!" The emperor was furious: "The matter of you losing the military talisman is over. After returning from the south this time, if you can't find the military talisman, I will punish you as well!"

"In this case, I can't go even more. If I go, I will die, and if I come back, I will die. I just stay in this hall."

Everyone was stunned by Xiao Qishu's actions. He really sat directly on the main hall and looked at the ministers boredly.

Even Prime Minister Jiang can't figure out what kind of tricks Xiao Qishu is playing. It will do him no good to anger His Majesty like this!

When the emperor saw this, he was so angry that his internal organs ached. He covered his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He glanced at Jiang Cheng, trying to get some clues from his face, but Jiang Cheng also looked confused.

"Bold Xiao Qishu, do you want me to punish you now?" The emperor pointed at Xiao Qishu and cursed.

"There is no need to accuse me of any crime. If Your Majesty doesn't give me troops, I will die no matter what. It's better to die happily first!"

Xiao Qishu was so unafraid of death that everyone present was completely helpless.

The emperor's face was even more gloomy. It was not a matter of killing him or not. He was completely helpless by Xiao Qishu.

Jiang Cheng was afraid that Xiao Qishu had other plans, so he acted as a peacemaker: "Your Majesty, since the military symbols are temporarily missing, you can issue an edict to General Xiao to mobilize the northwest army to the south to quell the rebellion."

The Northwest Army was originally under the jurisdiction of the emperor and only took orders from the emperor. They would only take orders with the emperor's edict. At other times, no one could mobilize them.

In this way, even if Xiao Qishu has the intention to rebel, the entire army will not obey his orders, and he will not be able to rebel no matter what.

"In this case, I will write an edict for you to take to the Northwest Army. What else do you want?"

The emperor was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Xiao Qishu finally stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his butt, with an expression on his face that said, "Okay, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, since Your Majesty has done this, I can't refuse. I will send troops to the south to quell the rebellion soon!"

Seeing Xiao Qishu agreeing, Jiang Cheng slowly let go of his talk to the emperor. Although he didn't know why he wanted to perform this act, as long as he agreed to go to the south, he was dead!

Xiao Qishu led the imperial edict to the court. Xiao Yiran quickly followed and said in a very ostentatious manner: "Uncle, I don't know if you can come back if you go to the south. Don't worry, I will take good care of your little aunt." of."

Xiao Qishu gave him a cold look and sneered: "I hope you will not forget your promise today and take good care of your aunt for me."

Xiao Yiran suddenly felt that his smile was very scary. He couldn't tell what was scary about it.

But he still had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, as long as Auntie is not afraid, I will naturally take care of her."

"I hope so."

Xiao Qishu laughed indistinctly, took a long and slender step, and took a step ahead, throwing Xiao Yiran away.Prime Minister Jiang was listening to their conversation from behind and asked, "Why do you feel that Xiao Qishu is so weird? Did you come up with something to say?"

Xiao Yiran shook his head: "I also think his behavior today is very strange, but I can't tell what is strange specifically."

Prime Minister Jiang pondered for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion that he thought was very awesome: "It's impossible for him to come back from the south alive anyway. Let's wait for him to order his troops to go to war."

……

Xiao Qishu did not go back to the east wing directly, but went to the restaurant.

Song Qingyou had already ordered a large table of dishes and was waiting for him. Sitting in the box were not only the fourth prince Long Yue, but also Cheng Yuxi and several men.

"I met General Xiao."

Several people greeted Xiao Qishu with fists in his hands.

Xiao Qishu waved his hand: "Sit down and talk while eating."

In Kushui County, Xiao Qishu and Song Qingyou had long developed an approachable rapport, and everyone else also sat down and feasted on the food on the table.

Suddenly, Song Qingyou dropped a token on the table.

There was a clang, followed by the last sound of sucking green vegetables, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the token on the table.

The first person to make a sound was Long Yue. His face was full of shock: "This, this is a military talisman! General Xiao, are you really..."

Did he really hide the soldier talisman?

Cheng Yuxi also blinked. The expression on his face didn't know whether he should be happy or shocked. He just looked at Song Qingyou blankly: "Sisters, are you really the one who got the soldier talisman?"

She asked carefully, not even mentioning stealing a word.

Song Qingyou glared at her sisters: "This thing was given to me by Concubine Jiang. If I had stolen the military talisman, I would have rebelled in Mobei. Are you still waiting for the Dog Emperor to call us back to the capital?"

As soon as the explanation was given, the fourth prince and Cheng Yuxi suddenly realized.

"That's right. This military talisman can command the soldiers and horses of the world. No matter who takes the military talisman, they can overthrow the imperial court. Why stay there for a year?"

Long Yue smiled sheepishly at Xiao Qishu: "I'm sorry, General Xiao. I just went too far. I shouldn't have secretly speculated on you."

Xiao Qishu picked up the tea and took a sip: "It's okay. Even if I didn't rebel before, I plan to rebel now anyway."

Bang!

The bowls and chopsticks that Long Yue had just picked up fell to the table with a shake of his hand, and the food was scattered all over the table.

"General Xiao, you, you, you..."

Can you tell me this?

"You don't need to be nervous. I just want to ask you this time. Cheng Wentian promised to make you emperor. Do you want to do it?"

The question was so straightforward that it made Long Yue feel a little embarrassed. He swallowed and looked around.

"Of course I want to!"
