Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 244 Qichang worries (2)

One word shocked everyone.Except for a few veterans in the cabinet and a few military ministers who walked in front of the imperial court, the rest of the people didn't know about it, they started talking in front of Gao Qichang, and the room that was quiet just now became noisy in an instant.

Master Yu leaned on his forehead and smiled helplessly: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have said it so early, the tired general has no rest."

Another veteran of the cabinet, Hao Wenzhi, Mr. Hao, twitched his white beard and smiled: "Fortunately, at this time, the emperor is afraid that the emperor will call, and everyone hasn't discussed it for too long. Qichang, we old guys Watching you grow up, you don't have to be too restrained here, since Master Yu told you to sit down, you can sit down and rest, and you will have another day to stand later!"

Gao Qichang thanked him, so he dared to sit down.After a short rest, he followed the ministers into the hall to court.

The quarrel between the court and the puppet Chu is still endless, and the literati stand in two squares citing scriptures, and no one can tell the other, and no one can surrender to the other.

Emperor Minggan saw that the matter of the puppet Chu had reached an impasse again, so he said with a sullen face: "This matter will be discussed by the cabinet to reach a conclusion. Yu Aiqing, you are the head of the cabinet, you should pay attention to this matter. Whether it is fighting or talking, you have to give it to me." I’ll make it clear and report back.”

"The minister obeys the order!"

"My dear friends, do you have anything else to say?"

A civil servant from the Military Aircraft Department stood up and said, "My Majesty, the governor of Yuzhou sent me a memorial, saying that there was a continuous light rain in Yuzhou yesterday. Although the amount of rainfall was not large, it was the first rain after the severe drought! This is the memorial."

The memorials of the governor of Yuzhou are clearly divided into two types: the memorial and the secret memorial. Everyone knows that at this time, a civil servant from the Military Aircraft Department proposed that the governor of Yuzhou and a group of people should be added to the ranks. Worship to ancestors as a foreshadowing.

Emperor Ming Qian really lived up to the expectations of Longyan Dayue: "If you say that the first-class hero in this matter should belong to General Gao. Gao Aiqing, you go to the ancestral altar to pray for me, and the rain will come to rescue the people of my Dayan Dynasty .I want to reward you heavily!"

Gao Qichang knelt down on the ground: "I don't want any rewards! If it weren't for your majesty's great kindness, how could it rain from the sky? If this is the first achievement, it should belong to the emperor!"

All the ministers knelt down on the ground, followed Gao Qichang's words and said flatteringly: "What General Gao said is true, it should belong to the emperor!"

Emperor Ming Qian rejoiced: "Everyone who loves you is flat!"

Gao Qichang took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd and retreat to the side, and Emperor Mingqian didn't mention the rewards just now.

After the court was over, Gao Qichang was about to go out of the palace when someone called him back: "The general has seen Mr. Hao."

Hao Wenzhi was old and frail, he was out of breath after two steps of chasing, and said with a smile, "You are really smart, a child can be taught."

Gao Qichang quickly thanked him: "If Master Hao hadn't suggested something, the general would kowtow to thank him in the hall, and he wouldn't know if he offended the emperor."

"You are a bit like your grandfather." Hao Wenzhi smiled while twisting his beard, "Qichang, after today's incident, you may be in the way in the eyes of some people, you should be more careful in the future Don’t ask others to catch the handle.”

Gao Qichang thanked him gratefully, and was about to leave the palace gate when he was stopped by the eunuch, who said in a sharp voice: "General Gao, the emperor invites you to talk to Yuxiang Pavilion."

Gao Qichang could only look at the horses at the gate of the palace and sighed, he could only follow Fu into the palace again, entered with low eyebrows, and after bowing down to Emperor Minggan, he didn't dare to breathe too much, and bowed and stood aside.

Emperor Minggan stopped the trouble in his hands, looked at Gao Qichang who was standing on the ground and said with a smile: "You are really cute. I know why you are going out of the palace, do I still need someone to call you in?"

"The end will not know."

Emperor Minggan slightly suppressed his smile: "Since ancient times, besides trust, there has been necessary suspicion between monarchs and ministers. Your Gao family is full of loyalty, your grandfather is a founding hero, and your father died for me. You Now that Gao Qichang is fighting for me again, logically speaking, I should trust you very much. But Zhen, sometimes I really worry about you!"

He asked indifferently, "I heard that you have been very close to King Qi recently?"

Gao Qichang knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Mingqian's expression is unreal: "What is your crime? You have been the servant of King Qi since you were a child, and it is normal to be friendly with him. What's more, all the ministers in the court have no prince standing behind them. .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy."

Emperor Minggan smiled lightly: "This time you have made great contributions in praying for rain, and I intend to reward you. I heard that you haven't gone home to visit your mother in the past five years, and your mother has sued the Queen Mother before you. That's fine, you First help me lead the Habayashi Army in Beijing, and when there is a vacancy in the military department in a few days, I will ask Hao Wenzhi to replace you."

Gao Qichang thanked the emperor, but he did not resign.

Emperor Minggan was slightly surprised: "What's the matter, is there anything else you can do?"

Gao Qichang seemed to have made up his mind, raised his head slightly and said: "Qizou the emperor, the last general will have the courage to ask the emperor for a marriage."

Emperor Minggan's expression turned pale for a moment: "I'll pretend I haven't heard these words, you should step back."

"Your Majesty!" Gao Qichang kowtowed unswervingly, "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and grant me a marriage."

Emperor Minggan sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Qichang, you know that I intentionally promised Princess Shanghe to you, and you should also know that if you marry Princess Shanghe, you will be treated with respect to the Gao family and to yourself." It is beneficial! I advise you to break up with that person, and I will tell the Shi family to find a good marriage for her in the future."

Gao Qichang clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, I will not marry Shi Yiqing in this life. If I can't grow old with Shi Yiqing, I would rather die outside Yumen Pass that year!"

"Bastard!" Emperor Minggan was furious, "What kind of bastard are you talking about! Gao Qichang, I think you've lost your mind! Okay, you want to kneel, then you can kneel outside for me. Without my words, you are not allowed to get up!"

Gao Qichang took the order to thank him, and knelt down on the marble in front of Yuxiang Pavilion with a calm expression, letting the blazing sun above his head bake unshakably.

Time faded away with the sunlight in the sky, and four long hours passed like this. The darkness once again shrouded the earth. Gao Qichang, who was punished to kneel in front of the Yuxiang Pavilion gate, still straightened his body and let the cold wind erode him. There was never even half a wave of wavering.

Emperor Minggan, who was sitting in the Yuxiang Pavilion reviewing the memorial, drank the tea that Eunuch Su brought, and suddenly asked, "Is Gao Qichang still kneeling outside? How long has it been?"

That Eunuch Su held an empty tea bowl and replied: "Report to the Emperor, General Gao is still here, and it has been more than four hours now."
