“Old Prince…!” Huangfuzheng was taken aback, but he instantly understood that in this situation, Sima Lan had no choice.

In the eyes of the ministers, Sima Lan is the auxiliary minister, and it is precisely because of this status that he can reach out and control the government. Now the emperor asks him, which seems to be a simple question, but it has a deep meaning.

If Sima Lan persuaded the emperor not to grant him the title because of his personal prejudice against Qi Ning, he would also wait for the emperor to go back on his word.

The most important duty of the auxiliary minister is to help the emperor to maintain the rules and regulations. If the emperor violates the laws of his ancestors, or even has a loss of morality, as the auxiliary minister, he naturally has to do his best to remonstrate and prevent the emperor from acting recklessly.

If Longtai had just issued the decree, Sima Lan immediately persuaded him that he might be able to take it back, but when he issued the decree, Sima Lan did not stop him, so he acquiesced to the emperor’s will. To stop it, firstly, it encourages the emperor to go back on his promises and regard the imperial decree as nothing, and secondly, it also makes everyone feel that this Duke of Zhenguo is avenging his personal revenge. As a result, his prestige will inevitably plummet, and his reputation will be greatly damaged.

Everyone knew that Sima Lan never wanted to see Qi Ning being named a duke, but in this case, he had to follow the emperor’s wishes to show his selflessness as a loyal minister of the country.

“The sage has already made a will, and since no one has spoken out just now, you all naturally acquiesced.” Sima Lan looked solemn and mature: “The emperor’s words are as heavy as Mount Tai, how can you regret it?”

When the ministers saw Sima Lan’s righteous resignation, some people laughed secretly in their hearts.

“Although Jinyi Hou is young, you have all seen it today. It was an extraordinary bravery, and his skills were astounding.” Sima Lan said slowly: “And the three generations of the Jinyi Qi family have made supreme merits for my great Chu. Even if the horse is not tamed today, and the saint bestows the title of duke, the old minister thinks it is all right.”

Long Tai said: “I am very pleased that the old man is loyal to the country.” Looking at Qi Ning, he said, “Qining, you should not have been named a duke based on your qualifications, but since I made an decree, naturally I will not. I will eat my own words.” Weiyi pondered, and then said: “Qining listens to the order!”

Qi Ning knew very well that if it weren’t for today’s opportunity, he would not have the chance to become a duke in another ten or eight years. Without saying a word, he knelt down on the ground: “I accept the order!”

“Jinyi is waiting for Qi Ning, he is very brave, and he has accumulated the merits of his ancestors. Now he will be named … Protector of the Kingdom!” Longtai said with a solemn expression: “But I miss you more for the country, don’t live up to the prestige of the Jinyi Qi family, Don’t live up to my expectations!”

Qi Ning immediately said: “This minister will lead the decree, thank the emperor for his long grace, and the minister must do everything in his power to serve the court and to repay the mighty emperor of the emperor’s long grace!”

Longtai raised his hand and said, “Be flat!” When Qi Ning got up, he said, “When Emperor Taizong was trapped, the old marquis in Jinyi took off his clothes and presented it to Emperor Taizong, and he was willing to suffer the cold himself. Feelings.” Said to Liu Yun beside him: “Bring my casual clothes!”

The ministers looked at each other in dismay, but Liu Yun quickly fetched a brocade casual dress, and Long Tai said, “I will also give you a brocade garment today. I just hope that when you see the brocade garment, you will think of the old man’s loyalty back then.”

Liu Yun handed over the brocade robe, and Qi Ning took it with both hands, respectfully saying, “This minister must live up to the sage’s esteem!” Carefully hugging the brocade robe, he retreated, and the Jinghong was also temporarily led down by the imperial eunuch.

The surrounding officials thought to themselves, today is the first day of the autumn hunt, but Qi Ning has already achieved a lot of achievements. Not only did he get a BMW that is one in a thousand miles, but he was also named Duke Protector, bestowed with brocade clothes, and such honors. Really rare.

“Aiqings, Jinghong has already been acquired by Qi Ning, and there is still a black flash that no one has tamed. Are there any of you who are willing to try it?” Longtai looked around the ministers: “I missed this opportunity, and I will find this one next time. Good horse, that won’t be easy.”

Although some people are unhappy,

But I also knew that if I wanted to go out again at this time, I would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Chi Fengdian came out to tame the horse, but his success was in vain. If he went on the field at this time, it would be shameful to lose. If he won, then if he hit Chi Fengdian in the face, he would offend the commander of the guards for a horse. Either way, it’s a losing deal.

Moreover, the emperor has already sent people to summon the three great generals, but the meaning is also very obvious, that is, to let the three great generals try to show their skills. Since this is the case, there is no need to move forward.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Long Taicai said: “In this case, all the Aiqings should leave first, I am also tired, and I will come again when Chu Cangge and the others come.”

At the moment, the emperor returned to his account, surrounded by the palace people, and the ministers sent the emperor away and dispersed.

Qi Ning led the Jinghong horse, and he was very happy. He thought to himself that if there was any urgent matter in the future, this Jinghong could come in handy. He just rode Jinghong for a circle, and it was really galloping. Far from the ordinary horses can compare.

He thought to himself that if he could tame that black flash, he wondered if he could get two horses together?

Such a BMW is really worth a thousand dollars, and it will be really cool to keep one and sell one.

It’s just that he also knows that if this is the case and condemned to public anger, given the current situation, it would be better for him not to offend many of him.

“Guo Gong, I congratulate Guo Gong on winning the BMW.” Qi Ning was about to get on his horse and ride Jinghong for a lap when he heard a voice behind him. He didn’t respond at first, but he quickly realized that he was protecting the country. Gong, looking back, it was Dou Kui.

Qi Ning has always had no liking for Dou Kui as a person. This person is now submissive to himself, nothing more than relying on his big tree to shield him from the wind and rain, but today this guy is the first to stand up and ask the emperor to seal himself, yes. For Dou Kui, it wasn’t easy, he said with a smile, “Master Dou, I want to thank you today.”

Dou Kui, of course what Qi Ning was referring to, hurriedly said: “Don’t dare, the prince made fun of it.” He leaned forward and praised: “It is indeed a peerless horse that can be encountered but not sought after, this amazing horse. Only people like Guo Gong can control it.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “If it wasn’t given by the emperor and Master Dou liked it, I would give it to you.”

“Guo Gong is joking.” Dou Kui said with a smile, “A low-ranking official would not have the guts to ride a BMW like this.” He looked around and saw the ministers disperse in twos and threes, and said in a low voice, “Guo Gong, this autumn this year. Hunting is really a bit special. In previous years, it was all hunting in teams, and there was no horse training. This year, not only did the horse be trained, but the emperor also summoned Chu Cangge and the others, which is a new look.”

“New look?” Qi Ning grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand and stroked Jinghong’s soft mane with the other, and said with a chuckle, “Master Dou, you seem to have something to say.”

Dou Kui said in a low voice: “Guo Gong, the lower official thinks that this autumn hunt is not only to boost morale, but I’m afraid that the emperor also wants to select some brave generals for the Northern Expedition.”

“Oh?”

“Excuse me to say bluntly, General Qi has passed away, and Duke Yi is old, and there are not many generals that can be used in the court.” Dou Kui said softly: “Even the governor of the East Sea Division Tantai has been killed. It seems that the only general who can take charge of himself is the general Yue Huanshan.”

“General Yue also has a group of valiant generals. If you really want to expedition to the north, they are all soldiers who are used to fighting.” Qi Ning said with a smile.

Dou Kui hesitated for a moment before saying: “Guo Gong, the lower official said a few words that should not be said, I hope Guo Gong will not blame him.”

“You and I have nothing to be polite.” Qi Ning said: “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Qi Ning’s attitude was kind, and Dou Kui’s expression was slightly relaxed, so he said softly: “Guo Gong, I don’t know if you know, but whenever the war is imminent, the imperial court will send some generals to the front line, although it is to strengthen the strength, but… …Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that it is also to monitor the officers on the front line.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning was stunned: “Is there something else?”

Dou Kui nodded and said: “Exactly. When General Qi was alive, he was loyal to the court. Whether it was Emperor Taizong or the late emperor, he trusted the Jinyi Qi family. Even so, he would often send generals from the court. Officer.” After a pause, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com leaned closer to Qi Ning and said in a low voice, “Now that General Yue took office after the death of General Qi. The situation in the imperial court was quite chaotic. The emperor had just ascended the throne, and he did not care about the front lines. Yue Huanshan had always been a lieutenant under the command of General Qi. When General Qi passed away, only Yue Huanshan could hold the Qinhuai Army at that time. …..For the sake of stability ahead, the imperial court could only let Yue Huanshan command the entire army.”

Qi Ning frowned slightly and said softly, “Master Dou, what do you mean by that?”

“Guo Gong, the court trusts the Jinyi Qi family, but that doesn’t mean they also trust Yue Huanshan.” Dou Kui sighed: “Yue Huanshan was lifted up by General Qi, and he is naturally grateful to the Qi family, but whether he He is also loyal to the imperial court, so… that is not clear to anyone.”

Qi Ning’s face sank, and he said in a low voice, “Master Dou, this is the end of the story. Do you know that if your words are passed on to General Yue’s ears, it will be a life-and-death feud.”

“Guo Gong, in front of others, Xiaguan can’t even mention a word.” Dou Kui sighed softly: “But in Guo Gong, Xiaguan still has to make it clear.”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, “If the imperial court doesn’t trust General Yue, will this Northern Expedition…will take him as the leader?”

“The change of generals will affect the morale of the army. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the court will not do this.” Dou Kui said: “But even if Yue Huanshan is the commander at that time, the court will definitely take precautions.” Looking around, After confirming that no one was paying attention, he said in a low voice, “The emperor’s meaning today, the lower officials dared to guess, is likely to select a few generals to go to the Qinhuai Army to supervise Yuehuan Mountain.”

“Sima Changshen has already gone to the Qinhuai Army. With him by his side, he will wait until it is the eyes and ears of the imperial court.” Qi Ning said, “Why do you have to choose another general?”
