Don’t Be a Scumbag

◎The scumbag who married a female general who "doesn't follow women's morals" (34)◎

After the old lady finished speaking, officials in twos and threes surrounded him.

Many of the civil servants in the court are his students. Whether they have chosen the prince to stand in the team, or have not chosen the prince, these people want to know who the old lady has chosen.

When the prince was elected, when they heard that the old lady had a candidate, they couldn't help but want to change the line. When the old lady was silent, they chose one because of the pressure of the family, or worried about their own safety.

Now that the old lady has made a sound, they just want to be the same as the old lady. In any case, the old lady must have more vision than them.

Everyone stared at the old lady, waiting for the old lady to speak. The three princes did not know when they came together and waited for the old lady to speak.

The old lady's eyes looked at the three princes in turn, and each prince was excited when he saw him.

Each of them was fascinated and confident that the old lady must have taken a fancy to them, but to their disappointment, the old lady's eyes skipped them one by one. The first prince and the second prince were the first to be pleasantly surprised. Then lost again.

In the end, the old lady's eyes fell on the third prince, and he felt the gaze falling on him. The third prince couldn't be more excited. He didn't expect the old lady to fall in love with him, so he just said, what's the use of reading, why not? Xuewu, now that he has been taken in by the old lady, his two scumbag brothers should be jealous, he will be the emperor soon.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people around now, the third prince would have laughed.

The first prince and the second prince also noticed that the old lady finally set her eyes on their third brother. Seeing the smugness and joy in the eyes of the third brother, the two princes were jealous.

They couldn't help but think, why, how could the rude and arrogant man of the third child get the old lady's eyes.

The ministers didn't expect the old lady to fall in love with the third prince, but after thinking about it, they felt that the third prince could barely do it. Although he was a little dull, a little barbaric, and a little vulgar, he had no brains. It is an advantage. In the future, when ministers advise him, he may still listen.

In fact, too many of them chose the third prince because of his stupidity. The ministers thought desperately, the old lady may also be helpless, although the three princes are not expected by Mingjun, but the three princes are stupid, maybe they will listen to what they persuade.

Just when everyone decided to stand for the third prince, there were cluttered footsteps outside the main hall. Before everyone could react, they watched a group of soldiers break into the main hall.

Everyone was shocked by this posture. Some people reacted first and looked at the third prince hesitantly. They did not expect that the third prince had soldiers in his hands. No wonder the old lady will choose the third prince. It turns out that the third prince has a hole card in his hand.

The third prince only thought that he was going to be the emperor, and the old lady also found troops for him in order to support him. His hands were shaking with excitement, and he felt that all this was arranged by the old lady to support him.

Just as he was about to give his testimonials, he saw the old lady Fu stroking his beard and said: "Pei Ming, the first son of the eldest princess, is of clan blood, with unparalleled wisdom and benevolence. , I decided to make him the new emperor."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the old lady's words, and the smile on the third prince's face froze because of the old lady's words.

Then the third prince reacted immediately and began to roar: "What did you old man say, he is only the son of the princess, why is he in this position, I think you are old-fashioned, and you can't even recognize the emperor's son, I tell you, This throne belongs to Lao Tzu!"

The third prince was furious. He originally thought that it was a certainty that he would become the emperor, but he didn't expect that the old lady was not interested in him, but Pei Ming.

Why is it Pei Ming, this throne will never be Pei Ming's turn.

The more the third prince thought about it, the more angry he became. Looking at the wrinkled face of the old lady, he stretched out his hand. His fist was cut off before it touched the old lady.

Pei Ming and Li Jishan entered the main hall together. When he first came in, he saw the third prince roaring incompetently. Seeing that he was about to lose his mind, Pei Ming asked Li Jishan to hold him down.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ming guessed right, the third prince really wanted to do something to the old lady.

"Who dares to touch me?" The third prince was held down by Li Jishan in a timely manner. The old lady was not panicked and ignored the third prince. He turned his head and looked at the ministers and said, "I don't know what your opinion is. ?"

None of the old lady's students said a word, but they all stood behind the old lady and expressed their attitude. No matter who they chose before, but now they are still facing their teacher.

The faces of the other two princes were ugly, and the ministers behind them were also ugly. Not every minister in the court was loyal and patriotic, and many people also had their own thoughts. These people supported the first prince and the second prince because of To gain benefits, if the person they support ascends the throne, their status will also change.

Seeing that no one said anything, these people couldn't help but say: "The late emperor has a son, why should the princess' son be enthroned? This is not in line with the rules at all."

"Yes"

"Yes, not to mention that the previous emperor had a son, that is, the previous emperor had no son, and the new emperor was selected from the clan. How can you choose a princess' son."

These officials who supported the eldest prince and the second prince also spoke up, saying that Pei Ming was inappropriate.

The eldest prince and the second prince also said, "Taifu, you are trying to usurp the throne."

"Yes, old lady, you will disappoint the emperor."

The hat of conspiracy to usurp the throne was buckled, and everyone present was silent. It was one thing for them to oppose the old lady, but it was another thing to say that the old lady was conspiring to usurp the throne.

The elder of the three dynasties, the old grandfather, said that when the ancestor was there, he personally said that the old grandfather was loyal to the country, and the ancestors had spoken. The first prince actually said that the old grandfather wanted to usurp the throne.

For a time, the people who spoke for the eldest prince and the second prince just wanted to gag the mouths of the eldest prince and the second prince. If they can't speak, don't talk. Fu snaps the hat, didn't you see the officials behind the old lady Fu? Don't you know the famous name of the old lady in the folk?

Sure enough, after the two princes finished speaking, the officials behind the old lady had indignant expressions on their faces.

The old lady once participated in the reform of the imperial examinations, and the prime ministers behind him have all received the favor of the old lady. In their hearts, the old lady is devoted to the people and the most loyal and patriotic to the king. Besides, whether it is the first emperor or the ancestors, they all treat the old lady. Very respectful.

But I didn't expect to be slandered by two princes who have just reached the crown, saying that they are conspiring to usurp the throne, and that conspiracy to usurp the throne means that the old lady himself rebelled and became emperor. These two idiots don't understand the meaning of the conjunction. I wish I could be the king.

These two people can't think about why the old lady didn't support them as emperors, or because they were stupid. If they were smarter, the old lady wouldn't recommend anyone else.

The old lady's face didn't change when he faced the fist of the third prince just now, but now his face was ashen because of the words of the two princes. After several officials noticed the old lady's change, they admired the old lady even more. Look, the old lady didn't care about others hitting him, but he cared about his own reputation. The first prince and the second prince wanted to harm the old lady. The reputation of the old lady Fu Wanjie, who wanted to harm her, was not guaranteed.

The old lady suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said: "A country cannot live without a king for a day. Although the three princes are of noble origin, they are unbearable. Pei's family, Pei Ming, is the eldest son of the eldest princess, the grandson of the ancestors, and has royal blood. If the three princes are overwhelmed by their duties, Pei Ming is the most suitable person, to choose the right person for the sake of the people of the world."

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, Pei Ming said, "I don't know if you are dissatisfied with the old lady's words?"

Everyone's attention just now was on the old lady and the princes, and no one paid attention to Pei Ming.

When Pei Ming spoke, everyone focused on Pei Ming, who was recommended by the old lady.

Pei Ming's back is straight and his expression is calm. When he was talking, he couldn't help but stop and listen to him.

The original owner's eyebrows followed the grandfather's, that is, the ancestor, so for a moment, everyone felt like they saw the young ancestor. Everyone looked at him seriously, and then looked at the princes on the side, and couldn't help but compete with each other for a while. After a comparison, everyone found that Pei Ming seemed to be stronger than those few people, at least his aura was different.

"You are only the son of the princess, the first emperor and the prince, why should it be your turn to take the throne?"

An official spoke out boldly. Pei Ming didn't get angry when he heard his words. He smiled and said, "So, which prince do you want to be enthroned?"

For some reason, the official who was questioned by Pei Ming shivered inexplicably. Everyone's attention was focused on this official at this time. The first emperor has no son, and the eldest prince is the elder, so it stands to reason that he should inherit the throne."

This official is the uncle of the eldest prince, his sister is a noble concubine, and his nephew is the eldest prince, so he naturally wants to make the eldest prince the emperor.

Hearing his words, Pei Ming put away the smile on his face and asked casually, "Does this lord know the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

Cooperate with the enemy and betray the country, and be executed according to the law. This is naturally known to everyone. The officials who were questioned did not know what Pei Ming meant when he said these inexplicable words. Cut it."

"My court rules are clear, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and I should be executed according to the law. I don't know what kind of crime the prince should be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

After Pei Ming finished speaking, everyone present took a deep breath. What did they hear? Pei Ming said that the prince was collaborating with the enemy and treason?

Originally, only Taifu Pei Ming and Li Jishan knew about this matter. At this moment, except for these three people, everyone's faces were shocked.

Most people don't believe it, they just think that Pei Ming dares to say anything in order to be the emperor.

The prime minister frowned, then said, "I don't know if there is evidence."

"Of course, Qizhou City was almost captured by the barbarians because of the three princes." This time it was Li Jishan who was talking about collaborating with the enemy and treason. , let him bring the army to Beijing, if the letter was not delayed, Qizhou City would be broken now.

"What, Qizhou City was attacked?" Everyone grasped the main point of the words.

"No, if it weren't for the wise Master Pei, maybe the barbarians have occupied our city by now, saying Master Pei..."

As soon as Li Jishan talked about Pei Ming, he talked endlessly. He said how good the defense of Qizhou City was and how well Qizhou City had planned for a rainy day.

Everyone didn't know whether what Li Jishan said was true or not, but they all had an idea in their hearts that if what Li Jishan said was true, then Pei Ming was indeed more suitable to be the emperor than several princes.

What everyone didn't notice was that when Pei Ming said that he was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the face of the third prince turned pale. The other two princes had nothing to do but looked wronged.

In the end, the eldest prince interrupted Li Jishan with a sullen face: "General Li, why do you say we colluded with the barbarians?"

Li Jishan was interrupted unexpectedly. Seeing that the person who interrupted him was the eldest prince, he took three letters from his arms and said, "Is this a letter you wrote to me?"

Everyone looked curiously at the letter in Li Jishan's hand, wanting to know what was in the letter.

Li Jishan didn't bother, and after listening to what Pei Ming explained in advance, from the beginning of the first prince, the letter meant that the first prince wanted the throne, and Li Jishan would lead troops from the northwest to the capital to support him. After he ascends the throne, he will definitely promise a lot of benefits to Li Jishan.

The letter he wrote was read out carelessly, the eldest prince's face was very ugly, but there was nothing other than ugly.

He explained: "This doesn't prove anything? I don't know that there is a war at the border. It's not a big deal to want the general to come back to help me. Why do you say that I cooperated with the enemy and treason."

The eldest prince didn't pay attention when he spoke. The third prince, whose face was pale, and the second prince, whose face gradually became ugly, Li Jishan rolled his eyes when he heard the words of the eldest prince, and did not argue with him. He continued to read the second prince. He cleared his throat and said that it belonged to the second prince.

The letters written by the second prince and the eldest prince were exactly the same. After reading the letters, many people found that something was wrong. When it comes to the third letter, everyone knows without guessing that the third letter is the same as the first two, and not even a single word has changed.

Even if the three princes wrote letters to Li Jishan at the same time, requesting support for them to ascend to the throne, it can be said that it can be said that the three princes write exactly the same letter.

Not to mention that these three princes were not born by the same mother, even if they were a compatriot, it would be impossible for them to have such a tacit understanding. Everyone wrote the same letter without changing a single word. Moreover, after the letter was sent, the barbarians came to attack Qicheng. Only a fool would think it was a coincidence.

The only explanation is that the barbarians pushed the prince to write this.

Everyone dared not imagine that if the Northwest Army really listened to the prince's words and entered the capital, Qizhou City would still be there.

"Why, don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Pei Ming looked at everyone, everyone looked different, and they didn't know what to think.

The second prince thought of something when he looked at the letter, and then quickly quibble: "What if this letter was written by me, at most I was deceived, isn't it all right in Qizhou?"

"Qizhou is fine because of the delay in the letter, not because of the content of the letter. Has the second prince ever thought about what Qizhou city would be like now if the letter hadn't been delayed?" Pei Ming looked at the second prince and said lightly. Although there were no ups and downs in the words, the calm voice was heard by everyone. Yes, what would happen if these letters arrived on time. I heard that the barbarians are arrogant and can't go north directly. If this is the case, are they in the capital also in danger?

"To be honest, my Northwest Army has been very poor. The soldiers have not often eaten meat for a long time, and the food and grass are often not rented. If the letter was not delivered late, maybe I would have really entered Beijing."

Li Jishan was not afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks. He directly spoke about the embarrassment of the Northwest Army, and said very clearly. Fortunately, the letter was late, otherwise he would have entered Beijing.

After listening to Li Jishan's words, the minister behind the old lady was even more indignant. The eyes of the second prince changed. What the second prince said just now was deceived by others. As for the enthronement, if this is enthroned, the country that makes people fooled may die.

There are also the eldest prince and the third prince. If several princes are deceived, they are really not suitable to be kings. Even if they are the sons of the late emperor, the country cannot be handed over to such people. It's still in the hands of such people, and they have no face to face their ancestors a hundred years later.

The eldest prince opened his mouth when he heard Pei Ming's words. He didn't know what to say for a while. He couldn't say that he was also deceived. His second brother said it, and the ministers' faces were full of dissatisfaction. If he said it, he would definitely Not much better than the second brother.

Compared with the second prince and the first prince who had spoken out, the third prince never spoke after being held down by Li Jishan, and his face was even more ugly. Pei Ming set his eyes on him and remembered that he had just gotten married and Xiao Lijin. When Gong Xie En, the third prince mocked Xiao Li.

His eyes flashed, and then he said something to Li Jishan in a low voice. After hearing this, Li Jishan nodded, then waved his hand directly, and let someone bring in a few people, all of them dressed as ordinary people of the dynasty. Judging from the clothes, there is nothing different, that is, ordinary people, or ordinary in the ordinary kind.

But the ministers took a closer look and found that these people looked a bit like barbarians.

"Isn't this a barbarian of a barbarian tribe?"

someone asked.

Pei Ming didn't say anything, instead looked at the ministers and said, "Just now my mother went to visit the third prince concubine. I didn't expect to see these people in the third prince's mansion, and she felt suspicious, so she brought it back. I don't know what the lords have. opinion?"

What insights can this have? Everyone can see that the captured few are barbarians, and they were found in the prince's mansion. Without thinking about it, we know that the third prince must have colluded with the barbarians.

Although everyone does not believe that these people are really the barbarians that the eldest princess saw when the third prince concubine discovered, but looking at the pale face of the third prince, you know that no matter how these people were arrested, these people must have been arrested in the third prince's mansion. of.

There is nothing to suspect, and the parties have nothing to quibble about.

The first prince and the second prince might really be deceived, but not the third prince. Although everyone does not believe that a prince can be stupid enough to collude with barbarians to attack his own city for the sake of the throne. But the facts tell them that there are really princes who can do such a thing.

Fortunately, everyone has a certain understanding of several princes. At this moment, everyone does not feel pain in their faces. Instead, they are glad that they did not give in to the family at the beginning, and just chose someone to support them.

"Xiaguan thinks what the Taifu said is reasonable. Lord Pei is indeed a good candidate for the new emperor."

It is a fact that the three princes are overwhelmed, and the people standing behind the third princes have also moved their positions silently, for fear of being accused of treason. After the old lady said that Pei Ming was suitable, another person soon followed suit.

Waiting for Li Jishan to shout in a thick voice: When I swear allegiance to Your Majesty, the ministers hesitated after looking at the soldiers behind Pei Ming, and then they all knelt down and said Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live.

Nothing is more submissive than military strength. When Pei Ming brought troops into the city, he was already confident enough to take the throne. Whether it is ordinary people or court ministers, they have to bow their heads when facing the army.

Pei Ming can also directly lead his soldiers into the Golden Palace. The three princes are about the same strength. The Imperial Guard has always been loyal to the emperor. If the emperor is not elected in one day, they will not listen to anyone or help anyone. At this time, Pei Ming If they reach the Golden Palace, the three princes and the civil servants will have no power to fight back, and they will obediently recognize him as the emperor.

But for the sake of fame, he changed his method and took the throne in this gentler way.

The three princes looked forward with loveless eyes, their eyes were empty, they were full of excitement this morning, and no one would have thought that they would leave the Golden Palace in a posture of five flowers tied up. Li Jishan, who they had been trying to win over, finally followed Pei Ming, and the old lady even supported Pei Ming.

Their dreams of the emperor were all in vain for a while. The throne they were longing for is gone, the dragon chair they dreamed of has also flown, and there are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, everything has become a bubble, now they don't want so much, they only hope that Pei Ming can keep them One life, give them a chance to live without being chased and killed, they don't ask much, just live.

The first prince and the second prince were not bad. They were deceived. Although they were a little stupid, they didn't really treason. As for the barbarians that the third prince colluded with, Pei Ming did not show any mercy, and directly killed several people in the Golden Palace.

The ministers have no doubts about Pei Ming's actions. The barbarians will kill them if they kill them. Several princes deserve what they deserve. Not only do they have no doubts, but some even think that Pei Ming will be a decisive monarch in the future, especially the old lady Fu He. After seeing Pei Ming's behavior, several of his students who are officials are full of hope for the future. In the old lady's opinion, Pei Ming has the demeanor of his ancestors back then, and he may be as good as his ancestors in the future. emperor.

Knowing that her son was going to make a big move, in order to prevent the boss from disturbing his son's important affairs, the eldest princess added a small amount of croton to Pei's father's meal in the morning. Pei Shangshu started running the hut in the morning, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take leave and not go. Morning.

He was almost better at noon, and when he was about to take a nap, he was called by the eldest princess.

"The surname is Pei, your son is very promising and becomes the emperor."

Pei Shangshu: "???"

Pei Shangshu was stunned all afternoon. Madam said that his son became the emperor. After that, she turned around and went to work on other things. The servants in the mansion are all busy, the new emperor is their son, the eldest princess mansion is naturally busy, no one pays attention to Pei Shangshu, who has nothing to do. The servants seemed to be a little busier than usual, and the rest did not find anything.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that he might have been deceived by the princess. The princess was bold when she was young, and it was only in the past two years that she looked a little gentle and virtuous. He thought that the princess was getting older and changed. Love to joke with him, he shook his head, thinking that the princess is really bold, forget it if you like to joke, how can you even make such a joke.

Although his son is smart, he is not a prince. His son's surname is Pei, how can he be an emperor. Besides, the late emperor had three sons, and the three sons were no more upright than his son.

Pei Shangshu was sleepy after thinking about it, and woke up. He saw Pei Ming wearing a dragon robe standing in front of him.

Pei Ming called Dad, and Pei Shangshu looked at the dragon robe on Pei Ming's body and was stunned for a while. At noon, he still thought that the eldest princess said that his son became the emperor was a dream, but at noon he dreamed that his son became the emperor.

He felt that this dream was pleasant, but it was really rebellious. Pei Shangshu closed his eyes and thought he should not have this dream. As a result, after he closed his eyes for a while, he opened his eyes and found that his son was still standing in front of him wearing a dragon robe.

Pei Shangshu: This dream is so real.

When Pei Shangshu was about to close his eyes again, he heard the voice of a eunuch: "His Majesty the Emperor Taishang has come to see you, why don't you get up first?"

After the **** finished speaking, Pei Ming said, "Father, I am the emperor."

Pei Shangshu looked at his son and then at the **** beside his son. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he fainted. Before he fainted, Pei Shangshu still couldn't believe that his son really became emperor. And he actually went from being a small minister to becoming the Supreme Emperor!

Pei Ming took the throne for three days, and he arranged the big and small matters of the court clearly. He placed the mothers of the three princes with ease. As for the three princes, except for the third prince who was imprisoned for life for collaborating with the enemy and treason, the other two were imprisoned for life. The princes have become rich and idle people.

With their intelligence quotient, Pei Ming didn't deal with them, but just in case, he reorganized the prince's grandfather's family. Although there was no bloodshed, he was also with the three The prince couldn't make any big waves for a while.

As for the eldest princess, she was directly named the empress dowager. The eldest princess who was named the queen mother re-entered the palace. She originally grew up in the palace. For the eldest princess, the palace is her home. happier than a day.

Pei Shangshu accepted the reality of his son becoming emperor several days after Pei Ming ascended the throne. Although he felt it was unreal, he was still trying to adapt to it. .

But over time, he accepted this title, and sincerely felt that the Emperor Taishang was really good. He could do whatever he wanted, without worrying about food and military salaries every day, how to get along with colleagues, and how to sleep more. , More importantly, he can get up late. For Pei Shangshu, who woke up decades earlier, there is nothing happier than getting up late.

The ministers sighed that Pei Ming was wise and kind to several princes. Pei Ming accepted all these praises, and promoted several officials by the way. After a month without a king, Chaotang finally had a new king.

When Pei Ming succeeded to the throne, the ministers had no objection, but the clan was still dissatisfied. Their reasons were the same as the ministers who had supported several princes in the past. Even if the prince failed, it would not be Pei Ming, an outsider surnamed Pei.

In ancient times, the heavy clan, Pei Ming knew the weight of the clan, and did not confront them head-on, but only said that when he gave birth to a child, he would let the child follow his biological mother, that is, the eldest princess. In this way, the clan has nothing to say.

What can they say, saying that Pei Ming's surname is Pei, not the national surname. Pei Ming said that the prince will follow the eldest princess' surname from the country in the future. It is not good to say that Pei Ming's identity is not good. Pei Ming is the first son of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is the only daughter of the ancestor and the ancestor queen. The identity is more noble than the emperor's. What else can they say?

Therefore, the clan could only recognize Pei Ming as the emperor, but not if they did not, because Pei Ming treated them both hard and soft. Before Li Jishan left, after Pei Ming said that the prince would follow the surname of the country, he asked Li Jishan to take the army to ask each family, Ask the clan whose family has objections to his ascension to the throne. If there are objections, who is the better candidate.

Looking at Li Jishan, who is five big and three thick, and the well-trained soldiers behind him, the legs of the clan are all soft, and they said stiffly that the new emperor is very good, and there is no more suitable person to be the emperor than the new emperor.

After listening to the clan's words, Li Jishan left contentedly. It's not that he said that this group of people is too ignorant. His Majesty did not hesitate to take on a heavy responsibility for the people of Limin, and even asked his son not to bear his surname. It's ridiculous that this group of people even insisted that His Majesty was not worthy of being an emperor.

After learning what Pei Ming said, Li Jishan admired Pei Ming even more. At first, he felt that Pei Ming sacrificed a lot for the people, but now it seems that His Majesty has sacrificed a lot, and his son has changed his surname. Li Jishan thought to himself, Lord Pei , not that His Majesty is really too great.

After Pei Ming ascended the throne, he did not hold the enthronement ceremony immediately, nor did he even establish his concubine. He had a wife, but the people in the palace never saw the queen.

Some people even guessed that the queen had been solved by the emperor. They all heard that the queen was not chosen by the emperor himself, but was forced to marry. With so many delicate daughters in the house, who would want to marry a dominatrix? The emperor's wife was General Xiao Xiao, a general who was able to chop off the heads of barbarian generals in one fell swoop. If such a general is a man, he can be called heroic.

Some ministers have even proposed a draft, and it was the first day that someone proposed the draft, and the eight hundred li from Qizhou rushed to the Golden Palace.

Pei Ming opened the letter in front of everyone. Then a smile appeared on his face, and he said a few good words.

Seeing the confused expressions of the ministers below, Pei Ming said the contents of the letter: "A letter came from Qizhou, and the barbarian thieves are not dying to attack again. General Xiao Xiao is very brave, annihilated the enemy army in one fell swoop, and captured the enemy general alive again. "

After finishing speaking, Pei Ming said with a bit of pride: "I didn't expect my queen to be so heroic. I don't know what rewards the queens think the queen should have?"

At first, everyone only grasped the key point of the good news that the barbarian general was captured alive, and did not pay any attention to who Pei Ming was talking about gained the military exploits.

It stands to reason that the Northwest Army should be managed by Li Jishan now, but everyone looked at General Li standing beside him. Isn't Li Jishan in the capital? Who was the one who led the army to repel the barbarians? While waiting for the new emperor to say the next sentence, everyone suddenly thought of Xiao Li, the new emperor's wife.

Xiao Li was a little general Xiao who disguised herself as a man a few years ago. Could it be that it was the daughter of Old General Xiao who disguised herself as a man who annihilated the enemy this time.

When Pei Ming said the word queen, everyone confirmed that the one who wiped out the enemy this time was really the wife of the new emperor, Xiao Li, the female general of the year.

It stands to reason that soldiers who have won military merit will be rewarded arbitrarily. Xiao Li was almost a marquis in those days, but Xiao Xiao is a woman, not only a woman, but also the wife of the emperor. How can this be awarded?

The ministers were silent. Although they thought Xiao Li was powerful and not an ordinary woman, they still felt unreasonable in their hearts. How could a woman go to the battlefield? It is not bad to go to the battlefield without punishment, and the emperor also said that he would give him a reward.

Looking at the different expressions of the officials below, Pei Ming probably knew what they were thinking. There is no precedent for a woman to be an official since ancient times. Pei Ming naturally knew that this was not a simple matter. He was not in a hurry, and tapped the dragon chair gently with his fingers. , and waited slowly for the officials to speak out.

Li Jishan wanted to speak out, he felt that General Xiao was too powerful, it would be better to regain control of the military. As a military general, Li Jishan felt that there was nothing more exciting than this reward.

But before he could make a sound, he saw an old man with a wrinkled face, and the old man standing in front of him plopped and knelt down. Li Jishan frowned and decided to respect the old and love the young, and let the old man who knelt in front speak first. .

He didn't know the old man in front of him, but there was still a difference between the clothes of military generals and civil officials, so he probably knew that the old man in front was a military general.

It was General Xiao who plopped down on his knees, that is, Xiao Li's biological father. Pei Ming had seen Xiao Li's father when he got married, so he still had some impressions of him.

After seeing the face of the kneeling person, Pei Ming squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know what Old General Xiao wants to say. Did he think of the reward for the empress for me?"

All the officials present heard the sound of kneeling on the ground, and everyone felt a little sour after seeing that the one who was kneeling was the national husband. Unexpectedly, General Xiao, who was usually silent, gave birth to a promising daughter, let alone marrying. It's a pie in the sky for the new emperor to become a queen, and now he has made military achievements, which is really enviable.

When everyone was about to hear what reward General Xiao wanted to ask the emperor, they heard General Xiao say with grief and indignation: "I'm sorry for your majesty, the old minister, it's a shame for your majesty to give birth to this shameless daughter."

After he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, and no one thought that General Xiao could say this. They heard it right, General Xiao knelt down not for a reward, but for the new emperor to punish him.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the new emperor's face, the new emperor's expression remained unchanged, and no expression could be seen.

Others didn't think of General Xiao's words, but Pei Ming did. According to the plot, Xiao Li's father was the first to push him and her to hell.

Looking at the sad and angry old General Xiao, he said with a smile: "Why did the general say this?"

"Xiao Li disguises herself as a man, she has no sense of shame. As a daughter and queen, she hangs around with men all day long. She has lost the face of the royal family, and the minister is ashamed. I beg Your Majesty to punish her."

After General Xiao finished speaking, Pei Ming sneered.

Then he asked Baiguan: "What do people think?"

The emperor was still very happy just now. As soon as Lord Xiao spoke, His Majesty's expression changed, and everyone knew His Majesty's attitude for a while.

In fact, even if you don't look at Pei Ming's attitude, everyone thinks that General Xiao's words have gone too far.

Xiao Li's military merits are all real, and if he can provide evidence, let General Xiao, the father, say that Xiao Li went to the military camp not to be a general, but to be something like that.

It's too much to say that the old general is a father. Besides, capturing the enemy general twice is not a small achievement, and it should be a big reward.

Now General Xiao, the father, not only does not allow His Majesty to reward the hero, but also punishes the Empress. This is too unreasonable. If the people know that the hero is punished, it will be very chilling. General Xiao does not let His Majesty be in the people's heart. Have you become an unreasonable king in your heart?

Some ministers changed their eyes when they thought about it, and they all doubted whether General Xiao was a member of several princes, and deliberately framed the new
