Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 573

Prime Minister Zuo suggested in the early court that Chu Kangsheng should lead the army to go out. This proposal naturally fit the emperor's wishes, so the emperor stared at Chu Kangsheng, "Chu Aiqing, are you willing to lead the army to fight for the court and put down the war?" Nanshao? The situation in Nanshao is not good now, and the people in the southwest are in dire straits. Chu Qing’s family cares about the common people’s society, so they will not reject me, right?”

The emperor's words clearly meant that Chu Kangsheng could not refuse, but Chu Kangsheng really didn't want to send troops.Just as the eldest princess said, Chu Kangsheng was also a little chilled by the events of these years.Thinking of him now that something happened made Chu Kangsheng feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's because I suffered from injuries and illnesses when I went to war in the north and south. Now that I'm getting older, the root of the old diseases of the past has gradually recovered. The body of this minister is really not good enough. It is very suitable for leading the army." Chu Kangsheng made an excuse and did not agree to the emperor's request.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help frowning.These few times, Chu Kangsheng refused to stand up and ask Ying to fight, so the emperor was not very happy.Today, Chu Kangsheng was all named on the head. If he still shirks like this, the emperor is a little annoyed.

"Chu Guogong, you are wrong. On the public, you are the Dingguo Duke of Daliao. You are the royal salary, and you should share the worries for Daliao and His Majesty. On the private, you are the husband of the eldest princess and the brother-in-law of Your Majesty." , that's a decent family, and they should share state affairs for His Majesty."

"What? The Chu family enjoys high officials, riches and honor bestowed by His Majesty, but at the same time they don't want to do anything, they just want to sit back and relax and enjoy the rewards. Isn't this a little unethical? Duty, a horse leather shroud is an honor. Duke Chu, you don’t understand this, do you?”

That Prime Minister Zuo was the emperor's confidant, and this time he was actually instructed by the emperor to find a way to force Chu Kangsheng to lead the army.There is no way, Daliao has been peaceful for the past few years, and there are really few generals who can lead troops to fight.Those who were more or less capable were sent out, but they were all defeated. Now the entire imperial court's hope rests on Chu Kangsheng.

The emperor was still silent when he saw Chu Kangsheng, and he was angry, but he didn't show it. Instead, he reprimanded Prime Minister Zuo, "Presumptuous, you can blame Duke Ding? In the world, Duke Ding and his son fought on the battlefield and made great contributions to Daliao. When Duke Ding made great achievements in the battlefield, you still don’t know where you are.”

As the emperor said, he got up from the dragon chair, walked down the jade steps slowly, and bowed deeply in front of Chu Kangsheng. "Brother-in-law, I know that I have indeed neglected my brother-in-law these years. I am here to apologize to my brother-in-law. But now the situation is critical, and the court is full. No one can solve Nanshao's crisis except my brother-in-law. I also ask my brother-in-law to take command and go out to share my worries. , to solve problems for the people of the world."

Chu Kangsheng couldn't bear the emperor's hand, and the dignified emperor saluted him, how could it be done? "Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it. Forget it, I'm a military commander in Daliao, and it's my job to eat the king's salary to share the worries of the king. As for sending troops, I just agree." Chu Kang Sheng stretched out his hand to support the emperor, and said hastily.

When things got to this point, Chu Kangsheng couldn't help but not agree.The emperor is like this, if Chu Kangsheng refuses to agree, the emperor will definitely turn his face.It's not easy for the Chu family to get to where they are today. They can't really offend the emperor and ruin everything, right?Chu Kangsheng was taught since he was a child to be loyal to the emperor and love the country. This concept has always been in his mind. The king has a life, so how could Chu Kangsheng not agree?

Chu Kangsheng nodded and agreed to go on the expedition, and the emperor was also relieved. The emperor knew very well what Chu Kangsheng was capable of.If it hadn't been suggested by the ministers at the beginning that the Chu family was a Han official with too much credit, the emperor would not have reduced the military power in Chu Kangsheng's hands for fear that the Chu family would have disobedience.You know, he is the world-renowned Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, who uses his troops like a god, and the enemy is terrified.Such talents led troops to conquer Nanshao, and it was easy to put down the Nanshao rebellion.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Please, brother-in-law, prepare to send troops immediately. The war is urgent, and soldiers are extremely fast. There is really no delay." The emperor was also really anxious, so when he saw Chu Kangsheng agreed, he said directly.

Now that he has agreed to send troops, Chu Kangsheng is naturally unable to shirk, so he nodded, "Okay, I will go back and prepare, and I will send troops to the south today to pacify Nanshao." Chu Kangsheng is still very confident about the war, and now he is about to As a leader, the heroic ambition of being a military commander came to his heart all of a sudden, and Chu Kangsheng's heart was full of fighting spirit.

The matter of dispatching troops is a foregone conclusion, and the next step is to dispatch troops and generals, and mobilize food and grass.Chu Kangsheng didn't need to worry about these things, the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs and Accounting Department had already made preparations.After some discussion, the emperor set a date for August 28, when the army went out.It is already August 24th, time is urgent, and there are many things to do, Chu Kangsheng has to go back to prepare quickly.

After the morning court, Chu Kangsheng returned to the Princess Mansion.Don't look at Chu Kangsheng who was able to talk eloquently in the court just now, but at this moment, he can't help but feel uneasy.He really wasn't sure how the eldest princess would react when she heard the news that he was going on an expedition.

As soon as he returned to his residence, he saw the eldest princess leading a few maids to pack their things. Chu Kangsheng was a little surprised, not knowing what his wife was doing. "Princess, what are you doing?"

The eldest princess turned her head and gave Chu Kangsheng a blank look, "Aren't you going to go to war? I won't help you pack your things, let's see how you lead the troops to go to war?"

Chu Kangsheng was quite surprised by these words, he had just come to the morning court, how could his wife know the news? "Where did the princess know the news so quickly?"

The eldest princess stopped what she was doing and sighed, "We have been husband and wife for so many years, how can I not understand you? The war in Nanshao is tight, and the emperor has sent troops three times and lost to Nanshao. With your personality, how can you Can you still bear it? I’m definitely going to call for a battle, and I’m just preparing in advance. Sure enough, aren’t you going to go out?”

The eldest princess is also helpless, as the wife of a general, this kind of thing has long been expected, and she is used to it.It's just that Chu Kangsheng has stopped leading the army in the past few years, and their husband and wife have only had a few years of peaceful life. Now that her husband is going to lead the army to fight again, the eldest princess has all kinds of worries and worries.

Chu Kangsheng's wife was so understanding and reasonable, and he felt even more emotional, "If you have a wife like this, what can your husband ask for? Princess, I didn't take the initiative to ask for a fight this time. It was Your Majesty who sang with Prime Minister Zuo and forced me to agree. Alas, I didn't either." Method, in the current situation, if I don't lead the army, I'm afraid that Nanshao's rebellion will intensify."
