Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 192
The emperor and Anhe Wang were reviewing the memorials accumulated over the past few days. The memorials were almost piled up on the entire table.

These are the leftovers that the prince has dealt with a few days ago. If they were all accumulated, I am afraid that the entire desk would not be able to accumulate them.

Cheng Qing walked in, saluted the two of them, and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor."

"Qing'er, get up." The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, unable to conceal his weakness in his tone.

Cheng Qing stood up, nodded to An and Wang, "Father."

The emperor leaned hard on the cushioned chair and asked, "Qing'er, how is the situation in the palace?"

"Back to the emperor, the enemies have retreated. The fourth prince is safe. The third prince who went to help was injured, as well as the generals and many imperial guardsmen." Cheng Qing reported back.

"I didn't expect that someone actually attacked the palace, and from what you said, there were quite a few people?" The emperor was on the verge of getting angry.

Cheng Qing nodded and said: "Yes, only a few people entered at first, but later on, more and more people entered, and the entire palace almost turned into a sea of ​​​​people. There were hundreds of people in the Imperial Forest Army plus the enemy."

"Hundreds of people?!" The emperor sat up, clapped his big hands on the table, and said angrily: "The number of people I sent to guard the palace in shifts was only 200. You told me there were hundreds of people?!"

Cheng Qing was taken aback and took a step back involuntarily.

An He Wang watched and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is all because of the lax security of the palace. After this incident, I thought that we should focus on improving the security of the palace."

The emperor rubbed his temples, picked up something on the table and threw it to Cheng Qing.

Suddenly he felt something coming. Cheng Qing felt that he was not very energetic. He raised his hand to catch it. When he held it in front of him, he saw that it was a token?
When An and Wang saw clearly what the emperor had thrown, they were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped. "Your Majesty, that is the reward and punishment mobilization token of the Royal Forest Army. Wouldn't it be wrong to give such an important thing to Qing'er?"

The imperial guard's reward and punishment transfer token?

Cheng Qing looked at the token over and over again.

The emperor looked at Cheng Qing who was playing with the token with affection and unbearability in his eyes, and said: "Qing'er, haven't you always wanted to be a heroine? Now I will give you a chance to see what you are capable of. "

"Your Majesty!" An Hewang was so anxious that he wanted to speak, but the Emperor raised his hand to stop him.

Cheng Qing's eyes suddenly flashed, he handed the token up and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter."

"Qing'er, you, like your brother, have extraordinary talents. These crises in the palace have been resolved by you secretly. I believe you, you are the second Cheng Yue." The emperor looked at her. , said: "It is indeed difficult for a woman to lead the army, but I believe in you."

"Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult for a woman to lead the army. But the most difficult thing is that she has no name and no status." Cheng Qing said.

"Okay, in the name of your contribution this time, I will promote you to become the commander of the Royal Forest Army." The emperor said.

Cheng Qing looked at the emperor and said, "I'm afraid the emperor will suffer countless criticisms for this."

The emperor sneered and said: "As for those ministers, I am afraid they were frightened by me last time. If they come again this time, I will be worried that I will have no reason to dismiss some of them."

Cheng Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. The emperor was using her as a target. He really didn't want to send her to the road of survival, but to the road of death.

An and Wang didn't expect that the emperor would take advantage of Cheng Qing in this way. He immediately knelt down and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, no! Qing'er is still young. She is just a woman. You can't treat her like this!"

The emperor looked at Cheng Qing closely and tried to persuade her: "Qing'er, I only have half a month to break the old rules. If you can grasp this half month, it is also an opportunity to rectify the woman's name. I have never been young. After seeing you, I have no choice but to use you. I only have half a month, so I will only give you half a month. After half a month, I will let you go free."

Cheng Qing didn't reply immediately, her mind was also running at high speed, indeed, this half month was an opportunity to break the stereotype.

The emperor has been repeatedly emphasizing this for half a month. It seems that he is really forced to have no choice.

In the past few days, she had shown too much in front of him, and she had already made him admit that she was someone he could rely on.Not just a woman who just hides behind a man and needs to be relied on.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Cheng Qing knelt down, raised his hands towards the Emperor, and said with a smile: "I, Cheng Qing, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, have received the order to thank you!"

After saying that, he bowed down.

"Qing'er!" An and Wang couldn't stop her, and watched helplessly as she accepted the edict that had not yet been issued, "Are you stupid?"

An and Wang were anxious and distressed, and even broke out in sweat.

"Cheng Aiqing, please rise." The emperor smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Qing stood up.

He picked up a spare volume of wordless imperial edict and said, "King Anhe, please talk to Qing'er. I'll draft the edict first."

"Yes."

An Hewang saw that the deal was done and there was no room for redemption, so they stretched out their hands and pulled Cheng Qing aside.

Cheng Qing blinked, looked at An and Wang, and said, "Father, what's wrong?"

When King Anhe saw her like this, he was so worried that his heart ached and asked, "You accepted this imperial edict without knowing anything? Do you know what this means?"

Cheng Qing raised his lips and smiled: "Of course I know."

"Then do you know how much pressure you will feel?" An Hewang said.

Can it be as heavy as the pressure she faced when she had to hide her daughter's identity and join the army?Cheng Qing lowered his head and smiled, then looked up at An He Wang and said, "Father, there is some pressure. Just keep it down and you will get used to it."

"What are you talking about?" An Hewang didn't quite understand what she meant. He felt that there seemed to be something in her words.

Cheng Qing asked solemnly: "Father, do you believe me?"

"I..." An Hewang wanted to say at this moment, 'She is a little girl, what can he believe in her?', but before the words came out, he suddenly hesitated.

Cheng Qing looked at him and said, "Father, I was never a sweet girl who was raised in a back house. I hope you can understand this."

"Qing'er, I've made it up."

The emperor's voice came, and Cheng Qing turned around to get the imperial edict.

An Hewang looked at Cheng Qing. He wanted to say that he felt sorry for her, not because he thought she was weak, but because she was strong.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The more she carries the burden, the more he feels sorry for her.

Cheng Qing took the imperial edict, remembered another purpose of coming here, and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to borrow all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital, as well as the apprentices."

The emperor was a little confused and asked: "Why did you borrow them?"

Cheng Qing smiled and said: "No, aren't my men injured? I must find some good doctors to treat them, right?"
