Stunning weapon

~ri date:~October 11ri~

Early the next morning, Mo Xiaochuan came to the forbidden army. He was already ready to wait for Cui Xiu's arrival, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see Cui Xiu's figure.Just after the hour, Shi Kui came in person.

Seeing Shi Kui, Mo Xiaochuan felt a little strange, went up to greet him, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Shi Kui, why are you interested in coming to my tenth battalion today?"

Shi Kui was not as polite as usual with Mo Xiaochuan, but said directly: "General Mo, the emperor has summoned you."

"Your Majesty?" Mo Xiaochuan was taken aback suddenly, staring at Shi Kui in surprise, and said, "Why is Your Majesty calling me?"

Shi Kui smiled wryly, and said: "General Mo, you also know that I am just a small captain in the imperial guards, how can I know the important affairs in the court, the emperor is in court now, I send you to see him, follow me! "

Mo Xiaochuan took a deep breath, it seems that what should come is still coming, he nodded lightly, and said: "Okay, please!"

Follow Shi Kui all the way.

When he came to the edge of the square in front of the palace gate, Shi Kui turned his head and said, "General Mo, it's time to dismount here."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded, looked sideways, and saw many servants there looking after the carriages and horses.He dismounted, handed the little black horse to the soldiers behind him, and followed Shi Kui all the way.

Stepping over the white jade-like stone bridge, up the steps of the front hall.

In the middle of the steps, the carvings are very exquisite. A huge dragon winds up, much higher than the steps. Above the steps, two gateposts stand tall, with exquisite carvings on them.

Mo Xiaochuan was puzzled, but he had no intention of looking at these.

Shi Kui pointed to the steps on the left, and said, "General Mo, this way please."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded and followed, the two walked all the way, passed the stone pillars, and arrived at the main hall.

Across the gate of the palace, Mo Xiaochuan saw hundreds of officials in the palace separated on both sides. Mo Zhiyuan was wearing a dragon suit and sitting on the dragon chair in the center. The high platform under the dragon chair stretched straight, and the red carpet was spread from there to in front of the door.

Mo Xiaochuan stared at the beautifully carved stone platform on the edge of the high platform, knowing in his heart that this is the so-called majesty, and it is with it that there is the so-called majesty.

"General Mo, please!" Shi Kui was not qualified to go to court, so when he came to the gate of the main hall, he stepped back and said softly to Mo Xiaochuan.

Mo Xiaochuan nodded and stepped into the main hall.In this era, there is no rule that you must kneel when you see the emperor. You only need to perform ordinary salutes, and you will only kneel when you make a mistake or ask the emperor.

Mo Xiaochuan knew about this, so after he came in, he bowed directly and said, "My lord, Mo Xiaochuan, the general of the Tenth Battalion of the Forbidden Army, came to see the emperor."

"Excuse me!" Mo Zhiyuan waved his hand lightly, pointing to the right, signaling Mo Xiaochuan to stand there.

Mo Xiaochuan nodded, saluted again, and stood over.

All the officials in the court looked at him strangely, which made Mo Xiaochuan feel a little terrified. He didn't know what happened. He frowned and glanced at everyone, only to see one of the old men looking at him. Very resentful.

In comparison, this person is Fan Zizhi's father, Minister of Rites.

Mo Xiaochuan was not polite to him, he stared back fiercely, straightened his head, and looked forward, in front of him, with a long head in front of him, so that he couldn't see Mo Zhiyuan's expression clearly, and he didn't know Whether he is smiling now or with a straight face makes it impossible for him to judge whether he is a blessing or a curse today.

"My dear friends, I have already brought you here. What do you think about the matter I announced to you just now?" Mo Zhiyuan asked softly.

Mo Xiaochuan was at a loss, listening to Mo Zhiyuan's tone, it seemed that what he mentioned just now was related to him, but he didn't know anything.He couldn't help turning his head to look at the crowd.

Zhang Bochang took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, since Mo Xiaochuan is the eldest son of Prince Qi, this matter has been verified, and I believe that he should be awarded a title."

"I don't think so!" Han Yan stood up and said, "Although Mo Xiaochuan is the eldest son of Prince Qi, our titles in Xiliang are all based on military exploits. Mo Xiaochuan grew up in Yan State since he was a child. Without any military exploits, no knighthood can be conferred."

"I don't think so." Zhang Bochang said again: "When the emperor and Prince Qi were young, they awarded the title to the Duke of the county. It can be seen that there is a precedent for this matter. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

The titles of Xiliang are divided into Prince, County King, State Duke, County Duke, County Marquis, County Boss, Son, and Male.Among them, the prince, the king of the county, the duke of the state, and the duke of the county, these are the royal relatives who can be rewarded;Therefore, Zhang Bochang said this.

I have already understood the meaning of the two lovers, you should step down first.What do the other lovers mean?Let's talk about it...

After Mo Zhiyuan's words fell, all the ministers immediately spoke up.

Mo Xiaochuan was already standing on the spot in a daze at this moment, and he didn't hear a word of other words.What he feared most finally came, and when Mo Zhiyuan announced it like this, it was like announcing the end of him and Yingying.What he is most concerned about now is not what he will be sealed, but whether Yingying already knows about it, and if she already knows, how is she feeling now, the sentence he said to her, "Everyone else's words are irrelevant." is fake" works.

In case she can't think about it.

Mo Xiaochuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just wanted to run to Yingying and tell her loudly that I am not the son of Prince Qi, nor are you my sister.But here, he has nothing to do.

Mo Xiaochuan's fists were clenched tightly, his heart was very irritable, and he didn't know what to do.

What a shit prince, what a shit title.

At this moment, he is not rare at all.

He just wanted to be able to be with Yingying, even, he didn't want this anymore, he just wanted Yingying to be okay.

There were voices of discussion in the court, one after another.

Some people have even started to quarrel because of this matter, in fact, it's no wonder.So everyone knew that the prince's health was not good and he seldom showed up. For such a prince, most of the courtiers took a wait-and-see attitude. If it wasn't for Mo Zhiyuan's prime of life, it might be because of this matter that someone was already harboring evil intentions.

Now suddenly there is a Prince Qi's son, who is likely to be a strong contender for the future queen.

People with active minds have already begun to think about this.Mo Xiaochuan is now like a bargaining chip in their eyes. Many people will bet, and such a bet does not need to be paid by themselves. Therefore, there are not a few people who support Mo Xiaochuan as the Duke of the county.

Of course, the same thing, different people see it, the result is different.

There were also some ministers who disagreed with this view. In their view, since Mo Zhiyuan did not confer any title on Mo Xiaochuan directly, but proposed it for the courtiers to discuss, it must have a different meaning.

Maybe Mo Zhiyuan didn't want to reward Mo Xiaochuan.

He still has other plans for him, and the support shown at this time may affect his official career. Therefore, many people are also opposing, and many people are waiting to see.

Seeing that Liu Chengqi hadn't spoken, Mo Zhiyuan couldn't help looking at him, and said, "Liu Aiqing, you are the prime minister and the head of all officials, what do you think?"

Liu Chengqi stood up, saluted very elegantly, and said: "Prince Qi's son can be knighted, this is a state matter, and it is also the emperor's family matter. I don't want to talk too much. Since the emperor asked, then I will talk about it." My own opinion. Prince Qi is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and his talent can only be compared with your majesty. He should be named a prince, and his colleagues should have no objections. Although Feng is not as good as he is, he is also a rare talent in a hundred years. However, at a young age, he has already become the commander of a battalion in the imperial army without relying on his status as a son, which is evident. Therefore, according to the advice of the minister, You can make your son the king of the county."

As soon as Liu Chengqi's words came out, there was a commotion among the crowd. No one thought that Liu Chengqi would be like this.

All the ministers were puzzled that Liu Chengqi would be so respectful to a brat, and obviously this kind of respect should not be said by him.For a moment, all the loyal ministers fell silent, and no one spoke.

However, Zhang Bochang saw something strange in it. Liu Chengqi first brought out the king of Qi, saying that the talents of Mo Zhiming, the king of Qi, and Mo Zhiyuan, the emperor, were almost the same, which meant that both of them were expected to be emperors.

Then, Liu Chengqi said that Mo Xiaochuan has the style of being a father. Doesn't this mean that Mo Xiaochuan is also expected to be an emperor?

Since ancient times, emperors have always attached great importance to their imperial power. Even if they are parents and children, they are especially cautious. How can they accept such an evaluation? If Mo Zhiyuan has been jealous of Mo Xiaochuan, then Mo Xiaochuan's future days will I'm afraid it will be hard.

Zhang Bochang has always been optimistic about Mo Xiaochuan, and he is very pleased with the relationship between him and Zhang Li. Naturally, he doesn't want Mo Xiaochuan to be calculated like this.Therefore, he immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed. Although Mo Xiaochuan is the eldest son of Prince Qi and is quite talented, he is still young and lacks training. Compared with Prince Qi back then , is still far behind, let alone compared with the emperor. Therefore, this county king is absolutely unacceptable."

"Master Zhang's words are wrong." Liu Chengqi smiled lightly, and said: "When the son was in Yan State, he was able to solve the crisis of Yan State being pinched by our Xiliang and barbarian armies with a small team of 500 people. Now come to our country. After Xiliang, even in a short period of time, one of the ten battalions, which was the worst in the Forbidden Army, was made famous. Whether it is the ability to manage the army or the strategy of leading the army, it can be said that they are all outstanding. King Qi is born again, I am afraid that he will not be able to do better? How can Mr. Zhang ignore all these achievements of the son, what is his intention?"

"My lord Xiangguo, I don't agree with this old minister. The son has some ability, but it was Mei Shichang, the commander of the northern border, who arranged for the resolution of the crisis of the Yan country. Moreover, although the son has done a good job in luring the enemy, the dispatch of the northern Xinjiang camp Responses are all just right. If these things are put aside, I am afraid that with the strength of Shizi alone, there will only be hundreds of corpses in the battlefield. How can I attribute all the credit to Shizi alone? Besides, then As for the Ten Battalions, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army themselves are not bad, and the gap between each battalion is not too great. The reason why the Ten Battalions were the worst among the Forbidden Army in the past was because the former chief general, Xu Que, had no talent, no virtue, and military discipline. As a result of the corruption, what Zizi did in the Tenth Battalion was just to rectify the military discipline and use the people in the battalion according to their talents, how can it be compared with Prince Qi." Zhang Bochang said, and then to Mo Zhiyuan, Said: "Your Majesty, I still feel that although the son has made some contributions, it is not a great achievement. It is enough to be named Duke of a county!"

"Master Zhang, what you said is wrong..." Qi Feng, an official of Liu Chengqi's faction, came out and said: "Of course, the matter in northern Xinjiang cannot be attributed to the son alone, but if there is no son, even It was Yan State's northern camp that was well-organized, and Mei Shichang, a famous general at the time, was also difficult to return to heaven... Besides, these ten battalions are a simple way to rectify military discipline, and use them according to their talents. It's not easy to do..."

"Master Qi is right..."

"My minister agrees!"

Suddenly someone echoed loudly.

Above the court hall, there was another commotion.

Mo Xiaochuan waved his hand lightly, and said: "Okay, don't make any noise, let me see what Mo Xiaochuan thinks." After finishing speaking, he cast his eyes on Mo Xiaochuan, and said, "Xiaochuan, come forward , Tell me what you think."

Mo Xiaochuan was a little dazed, clenched his fists, and walked forward step by step.

All the ministers focused their eyes on him, staring at him closely.

Mo Xiaochuan gritted his teeth, raised his head abruptly, looked straight at Mo Zhiyuan, and said, "I don't want any title, nor do I want to be a high-ranking official. I'm just an ordinary warrior, not the son of Prince Qi. Not the son of the world..."

As soon as Mo Xiaochuan said this, everyone was dumbfounded...

1: Your Majesty: The emperor is supreme, and the courtiers dare not talk to him directly, so they have to let the emperor's close ministers convey the message on their behalf, so the "Your Majesty" is not called the emperor, but the person standing under the majesty to tell the emperor.Then again, the rules are not static, and it is not absolutely impossible for courtiers to speak directly to the emperor, but etiquette cannot be omitted, so calling "Your Majesty" before speaking to the emperor is to show your respect.The original meaning of the title Your Majesty is so. After a long time, it has become a kind of respectful title for the emperor. This Highness, Your Excellency, is the same reason.
