Chapter 441 The little woman with a strong appearance
The cold winter night in Chang'an City was a bit cold. In the bleak and cold wind, the flying cavalry flew back and forth through the horse road on the city wall, and spread the news outside the city to the city as soon as possible. At this time, Su Bi was in charge of the military department. She specially put on a strong outfit today, looking heroic and sluggish, Chai Jin was with her side.
For Chai Jin, he didn't understand what his wife was going to do, let alone why Su Bi wanted to bring him together.
Stay honestly, listen to the orders, and don’t be allowed to ask more questions. These three requirements were made by Su Bi to Chai Jin.
Chai Jin also looked very honest. Although he looked at the officials of the Ministry of War and the officials of the Ministry of War, he didn't say much, and the officials of the Ministry of War had nothing to say to him. Chai Jin's mind was not returning to his position, and he was still thinking about somewhere in the city, Miss Ling's family and the children in her belly.
As for Su Bi, Chai Jin's heart is not comparable to Ling Xu. Before he met Ling Xu, Chai Jin thought Su Bi was a good wife, but after he met Ling Xu, he realized that being a wife should be obedient to her husband rather than to him. From then on, Chai Jin, who was honest, began to fall in love with her. Unfortunately, as the prince consort, he did not have the right to divorce his wife. Even if he was bored with Su Bi, he could only bear it.
Although it felt dangerous to keep a house secretly, Chai Jin was sincere in treating the lady of the Ling family. Even if Su Bi knew about this, he was not ready to give up.
"Oh! I'll go to visit Brother Liu no matter what I say tonight and ask him to tell me her address."
Su Bi told Chai Jin to "stay honestly", but Chai Jin was thinking about how to escape.
It was an unusual night, and all the yamen in the city were on night shifts. Although many of the top leaders of the yamen have been summoned into the palace and have not come out, it seems that this has not affected the operation of the yamen at all. The various defense departments in Chang'an City are the busiest tonight. Not only do they have to withdraw defenses, they also have to ask for leave, adjust and train all the soldiers trained. The Ministry of War also issued an order to them later, which is basically the transfer of personnel and the change of responsibilities of the Six Defense Department's yamen. The transfer made the commander of the Six Defense Department a little confused.
There was still no specific order in the palace. It seemed that even the new emperor was waiting for the events tonight. People involved in Chang'an City actually understood that this matter was actually the entry of the rebel generals.
He Mao had already left the city before sunset and dusk. Logically speaking, it would be impossible for him to go back and forth in Chang'an City and the military camps 200 miles away by the end of tonight. The message He Mao brought was that Hua Ji'an and other rebel generals could enter the city at midnight tonight, which means that Hua Ji'an and the rebel generals were already on the way. It is difficult for military generals to be without worries. They must be on guard against the court and inquire about the court's tone in advance before making a decision on whether to enter the city.
As the night deepened, Su Bi's mood became even more nervous. Although she was just a young woman in her early twenties who had just given birth to a son, she had been immersed in the imperial officialdom for many years. Since she was seventeen, she received her first job from her father. She vowed to do her best, not only to be successful for herself, but also to be successful for her mother, but also to be successful for her husband and future son. Su Bi didn't know why she valued Chai Jin, who was useless. Perhaps it was she who chose Chai Jin that made her more vigorous, because she knew that the man of the head of the family was useless, at least women had to hold on to this family, otherwise she would have to drink the northwest wind after changing the emperor.
Now she felt that she had done it, and after tonight, she could be below one person and above millions of people.
"Madam, I... can I go back?" Chai Jin hesitated for a long time before coming over and said to Su Bi, "I'm a little tired. I haven't slept well recently, and it seems that I'm still getting cold..."
Chai Jin never lies before, but for his lady Ling family, he had to lie one day. Because he finally waited until Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, he couldn't wait to see Ling Xu because he had no news about Ling Xu for a long time. He couldn't bear to have a pregnant woman who was not taken care of by anyone.
Su Bi glanced at her husband and sighed slightly. She originally wanted to keep Chai Jin so that she could establish an immortal achievement tonight and stand in the court in the future, so that people could look down on her. But now she realized that her husband was not the material at all.
"Then my husband will go back first, I will find two people to give you."
"No need. I... I know the way myself." Chai Jin was overjoyed when he heard that he could leave the ghost place of the Ministry of War earlier. He didn't want to be followed by his wife. He couldn't wait to say goodbye Su Bi and went out, and rushed to the door of the Ministry of War.
Looking at Chai Jin's back, Su Bi sighed slightly, and she asked herself why she had fallen in love with this useless man at the beginning.
She knew how competitive a woman she was. Could this be the reason why she chose a cowardly man? Thinking of this, Su Bi unconsciously thought of someone she shouldn't have thought of. Liu Yu, Su Bi smiled helplessly. In fact, when her father chose her son-in-law for her a few years ago, Liu Yu was also one of the candidates. There were so many people, and she finally chose not Liu Yu, because at that time, no one knew Liu Yu at all.
Good fortune is often a bit tricky. Who would have thought that at that time, an unknown marquis would suddenly rise up many years later and become the mainstay of the Dashun Dynasty?
She suddenly became a little jealous of Xu Xuanzhu. She was also a woman and a court official in the court. The difference was that Xu Xuanzhu was a military general, and she was a civil servant, but she was a royal relative and noble daughter, and Xu Xuanzhu was just a descendant of a military general. After all, she was a little woman from the family of ordinary people. But why was she not as happy as Xu Xuanzhu?
She thought about it now that if she had chosen Liu Yu instead of Chai Jin, then it would not have been Su Yan, but her now. Even if it was not, Liu Yu would have helped her sit on the throne.
"Your Highness Xinzhujun, the emperor summons you to enter the palace immediately."
The guard's notice temporarily interrupted Su Bi's thoughts. Su Bi sorted out her thoughts, walked out of the military office, and walked towards the palace separated by a wall. The sky should have been dull, but the sky and the earth were also bright in the cloudy sky. The night was like day, and the snow was filled with yellow light, as beautiful and charming as an illusion. She didn't know where the light came from, but she vaguely remembered that in the winter of the year, when it was snowing, there would always be such night scenes one or two days. When she was a child, she also accompanied her mother to play with the snow on such nights. It seemed that it was already many years ago.
Su Bi stood there, looking at the snow scene in the palace in a daze. Even the eunuch called her to go to Yaqian Palace and called her several times before she could bring her back to her senses. Su Bi was stunned. For some reason, she had so many feelings today. She thought, maybe it was because the pressure was too great that she could not bear it, or maybe this night was too special for her.
She has been living in the court for many years, and her fate is always controlled by others. She is more like a chess piece, but today she wants to be a chess player.
Who would like to be tricked by others like a chess piece? In the past, she always wanted to be a chess player, but today she had the opportunity to be a chess player, but instead envied those chess pieces that could come true without thinking, such as Su Yan. As the descendant of the same father, she knew very well that her father would not choose an incompetent son who had no ambitions and only wanted to be the emperor. And Su Yan could become a prince, perhaps in line with a long-term rumor that had been spread in Chang'an City, which was Liu Yu's improper edict to change the belonging of the emperor.
Why choose him and not me?
Su Bi's face was a bit sad. She asked herself that she was not bad, and she treated her as a friend. Perhaps Liu Yu was too afraid of her status and reputation, so she dared not approach her. Even when choosing an emperor, she would rather choose an apprentice who offended him and treated him very disrespectfully than help her achieve great achievements.
What if you choose him? Now he treats you like like this, which just proves that you chose the wrong choice?
Su Bi seemed to feel relieved. Since things had come to this point, there was nothing to regret. She felt that she had let go, and at this time she also walked to the door of Yaqian Hall, and walked a few more steps forward to enter Yaqian Hall, discussing with Su Yan how to completely eradicate the military danger and eliminate that person. But when she stepped into the gate of Yaqian Hall, she unconsciously remembered that when she was in Zangyunfang, she found Wu Shuo and Liu Yu to play the game of Tibetan hook with Liu Yu, and accidentally touched Liu Yu's palm and back of her hand. Although she did not show any unusual reaction at the time, and she seemed to remember this incident at all afterwards, in the heart of a little woman, how could this scene be seen by just wanting?
But after tonight, I can only forget it if I don’t want to.
Su Bi strode into the gate of the Yaqian Hall. The eunuch had already entered and reported that she finally took a look at the beautiful snow outside and approached the Yaqian Hall. At this time, many important figures from Chang'an City had gathered in the Yaqian Hall. Some veterans from the military were specially invited by Su Yan to come here today after not attending the regular meeting of the court for a long time. In addition to these veterans who had not left the mountain for a long time, there were also some generals in the ruling sect, who were the leaders of all military forces in Chang'an City, including Qu Zhu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the most trusted military general around the emperor.
During such a special military meeting, Su Bi's husband, Chai Jin, Hou Linqing, hurried to the direction of the General's Mansion of the Forward. In order not to be noticed, he didn't even sit in a sedan chair. His bloated body is no longer as lively and active as when he was young, and he will be out of breath after walking a few steps, but Chai Jin doesn't seem to feel tired at this time. When he thought of meeting Ling Xu again, he felt endless energy in his heart.
