Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Just listen to the old emperor's promise, don't take it seriously.

The eldest master is not a young man just starting out, he is a veteran of the court, and has witnessed with his own eyes how the old emperor changed from a heroic hero to a dim-witted and mean man.

He said honestly: "The humble minister is stupid, and I really can't think of a more suitable candidate than the Minister of War. Your Majesty, why not summon the important ministers in the court and collect everyone's opinions, I believe there will be a better solution."

Emperor Taixing's face darkened, and he sneered, "Why do you push back, Aiqing? Could it be that Aiqing still has resentment towards me in her heart, so she is unwilling to share my worries?"

The big hat was snapped off instantly.

The elder couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately knelt down and said, "I'm guilty! I can't share your Majesty's worries. I'm really old and stupid. Please forgive me."

"Ai Qing would rather be punished than share my worries, right?" Emperor Taixing asked in a sinister tone.

Old man:......

He looked frightened and didn't even dare to say a few words.

"Don't you dare? Humph! I intend to let Aiqing take command and go to Jinzhou to quell the rebels. I wonder what Aiqing wants?"

"Wei Chen?" The eldest master looked confused. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly found an excuse to refuse. "Wei Chen is physically disabled and is no longer able to command the troops, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy. Please take back your Majesty's order and send another capable person. Wei Chen?" I am willing to make suggestions for your majesty and plan the war in Jinzhou, but please think again!"

The big boss is really unwilling to take over the hot potato that is Jinzhou.

If you do it well, you should do it. If you don't do it well, you are incompetent, and you have failed to live up to the divine grace. At the least, you will be dismissed from office and imprisoned, and at worst, you will be beheaded and your home will be ransacked. He'd be crazy to take on this job.

Besides, he has been far away from the military camp and away from military power for many years. It will be difficult to determine how many generals are available in the army for a while.

Now that autumn has entered, the old emperor has made it clear that he wants to see a result before the end of the year. In such a short period of time, time is used up just to prepare food and fodder, reorganize the army, and boost morale. No results could be obtained by the end of the year, or a series of serious consequences would result from a hasty response. No matter what the situation was, it would be unbearable for him.

In order to face the consequences of being punished, he had to give up the job.

unless……

"I have considered it very clearly. Of all the generals in the dynasty, only Aiqing can make me feel at ease. This mess in Jinzhou must be led by Aiqing. As for your inconvenience, that is easy. Aiqing only needs to sit in the city. , formulate strategies and leave the war matters to the generals below. Please don’t refuse me anymore, let alone betray my trust.”

Emperor Taixing's tone was extremely harsh, and he would kill someone with a knife if he had any disagreement.

The eldest man was about to cry but was about to fight for it again. At this moment, Qiu Defu's godson hurriedly came in from outside and whispered something in Qiu Defu's ear.

Emperor Taixing's anger was burning. When he saw this scene, he immediately shouted angrily, "What happened?"

Qiu Defu kicked his godson away, and he immediately knelt on the ground obediently. Qiu Defu came to Emperor Taixing's side in a few steps and whispered: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The courtiers are gathering outside the palace gate. They want to go to Taiji Palace to petition, and ask Your Majesty to pay attention to the court. They also say..."

"What else can you say?" Emperor Taixing was extremely dissatisfied. He was thinking about getting rid of the rebels in Jinzhou. These courtiers didn't know how to share the worries of the emperor and father, and they all knew how to cause trouble.

Qiu Defu did not dare to hesitate at all and said softly: "He also said that Jiang Tu must be executed."

"Presumptuous! Go against them! What are you trying to do? Is it to force the palace? Xuan Jinyiwei, check, find out, who is leading the connection, how many people are involved in the organization behind the scenes, is the prince involved? You must investigate for me. It must be clear that no matter who is found, no one will be let go.”

Emperor Taixing was so angry that he directly picked up the incense burner at hand and smashed it on the ground. The incense ashes flew in the air. The elder was not spared, and his head and face were stained with incense ashes.

I didn’t look at the almanac when I went out today. It’s a bad omen!

Qiu Defu received the order and asked cautiously: "What should we do with the hundreds of courtiers outside the palace gate?"

"Drive it away! Drive them all away!" Emperor Taixing was extremely impatient, his expression twisted and his face ashen. If he finds out who took the lead in forcing the palace to marry, he will definitely kill that person, kill his whole family, and kill all nine of his clans.

But……

Qiu Defu was in too much trouble.

They are all ministers of the court and have great reputation as scholars. Who dares to take action easily? Once you take action, you will definitely be held accountable afterwards, and you may end up with your head on the ground.

He was in a dilemma, but he couldn't express it, so he had to bite the bullet and accept the order. In my mind, I was thinking about how to make the emperor reluctantly accept it, and also make the courtiers who were looking for trouble take the initiative to retreat.

After thinking about it, it is really difficult to have both.

He took aim at the eldest master of the Hou Mansion. Hey, he was a ready candidate!

The eldest man of the Hou Mansion:...

He looked at his eyes, his nose and his heart, but he heard nothing and knew nothing. He didn't respond to Qiu Defu's pleading look and pretended not to see it.

When Qiu Defu saw this, he cursed in his heart: Old fox!

In desperation, he could only leave in despair and deal with the immediate crisis first before talking about anything else.

Bang bang bang!

Emperor Taixing directly swept all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk to the ground, and smashed the high-quality inkstone on the steps, creating a big gap.

Still not satisfied, Emperor Taixing picked up the whip on the wall and hit the small yellow door directly in the palace.

The little Huangmen could only kneel down and bear it passively. Even though they were about to be beaten to death, they remained motionless, for fear that if they moved, they would make Emperor Taixing even more angry.

After being whipped, they might die, but they might also survive. As long as they survived, Eunuch Qiu would take care of them and arrange an easy job for them, so they could live in peace from then on.

If they offended His Majesty, the only outcome would be death, and they would not even have a complete corpse left after death.

Facing the incompetent and furious old emperor, the eldest master was initially panicked. Then, he was as still as a mountain, as if an old monk was in meditation, kneeling on the ground honestly, pretending to be an invisible man.

Emperor Taixing might be tired, or whipping the eunuchs was not enough to relieve his hatred, or his anger had subsided. In short, he suddenly stopped whipping the eunuchs and walked quickly to the eldest master, "My dear minister, do you have anything to say?"

The whip in his hand, with an invisible pressure, rushed directly to the eldest master.

Cold sweat broke out on the eldest master's forehead.

At this moment, he knew very well that if he dared to refuse again, the old emperor would definitely want to kill him, and the Marquis's mansion would be in danger, and his life would be over!

For the sake of his family and his life, he had no choice but to compromise, "I accept your order!"

Emperor Taixing nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! I knew that you are a minister of the court. At this time of crisis, only you can help me solve my problems and quell the rebellion in Jinzhou. Alas! The state affairs are difficult, but the court officials do not want to share my worries, and they are against me everywhere. It is really unreasonable. Do you really think that I am too old to chop off people's heads?"
