"Shengping is still young, has little qualifications, and lacks battlefield experience. With General Lin by your side, I feel relieved!"
"The Emperor's words are serious!" Lin Fengxia said this, but her heart was so happy that she just laughed out loud in the main hall. She had made a lot of money today.
"Okay, Shengping accepts the order! I order you to be the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the northwest, commanding 100,000 elite troops to go to the northwest border to attack the invaders!"
"Your Majesty, thank you, Queen Mother!" Xiao Tiange lowered his eyes and hid the smile in his eyes, because when he glanced at Lin Fengxia with his peripheral vision just now, he could clearly see Lin Fengxia's stiff smile in an instant, and
A face that changes instantly.
"General Lin, this is Shengping's first war after all. I have ordered you to be the deputy commander of the army and horses for this campaign, plus the chief military advisor to guide and help Shengping. I hope that you can return in triumph!"
It was true that Lin Fengxia was unhappy, but she couldn't go too far. She could only step forward reluctantly, but she still had to pretend to be very calm.
"I...accept the decree, long live my emperor!"
After announcing this, everyone discussed other things, and then the dynasty was dismissed. Xiao Tiange had just been re-employed by the emperor, and Xiao Tiange naturally became the target of everyone's pursuit.
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Sixth Highness. Your Highness is a hero. It is truly a blessing to me, Lan Yu!"
Xiao Tiange glanced at the gray-haired old lady in front of her, and reluctantly twitched her lips, giving her an answer.
Then he walked straight out the door, but these ministers who usually like to flatter him would never miss such an opportunity. They all gathered around Xiao Tiange like bees seeing honey.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, is so wise and powerful that he will definitely be able to repel the barbarians from the northwest!"
"That's right, in my opinion, as long as you stop there, Your Highness, the enemy will be so scared that they will pee and dare not invade again!"
Xiao Tiange, who was still walking forward, suddenly paused, then turned around, looked at a certain minister behind him with sharp eyes, and said with a faint smile:
"How scary is this palace? Where can I scare people away?"
Although Xiao Tiange was laughing, as soon as he said these words, the minister felt a sudden chill on his back, the hairs on his hair stood up, and cold sweat broke out immediately.
All she had to do was weaken her legs, and she immediately knelt down. Xiao Tiange bowed her hands to the ministers:
"Ministers, I will stop here. Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. Although I am going into the battle with the heart of winning, there is no 100% guarantee, so I hope you will understand. Also,
I am powerless now, you flatterers, it is too early to say anything!"
When all the ministers stood there with stiff faces, as if they were wooden, not knowing what to say, Xiao Tiange turned around and left in a dashing way.
Just kidding, if you say something to these old ladies and I say something, why don't you tire her to death?
After finally dodging those old ladies, on the way back to Wuyang Palace, I met Bai Muji.
The old lady had a kind smile on her face, but her eyebrows were deep and scary. Even Xiao Tiange couldn't help but sigh in her heart, fortunately this old fox is not an enemy, otherwise she really wouldn't be her match.
From afar, Xiao Tiange bowed his hands to Bai Muji.
"I've met the master!"
Bai Muji raised his hand, gave her a virtual support, and said with a smile:
"Why does Your Highness need to be so polite?"
Xiao Tiange stood up straight again: "Master's words are wrong. Once a teacher, a lifelong teacher. Although the student has not often gone to school to study recently, he has been taught by the master since he was a child. How can he not know how to respect the teacher?"
Bai Muji, the little old lady, laughed loudly in an instant. After a moment, Xiao Tiange's face did not change, but she murmured in her heart.
This old lady definitely did not happen to pass by here, because this road is completely different from the road out of the palace.
So there is only one reason why she appears here at this moment, and that is to wait for her here. Looking at Bai Muji with a half-smiling face in front of him, Xiao Tiange calmed down and said respectfully:
"Master appears here now, is he waiting for his students?"
Bai Muji's eyes flashed, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth became wider and wider. Although the years had left many traces on her face, it still could not erase her own temperament.
"Your Highness is indeed very wise, and it is not in vain for me to wait here!"
Although she knew that Bai Muji had indeed helped her in the court just now, it was not easy to clearly guess what the old lady was thinking.
Therefore, Xiao Tiange knew very well that Bai Muji would not be her enemy, and Bai Muji was not a party member of the empress.
Because in the court, there is no one else who can compete with the Empress and the Empress except her, Bai Muji. Therefore, the current Lan Yu Kingdom is divided into one faction headed by the Empress, and another faction headed by you, Bai Muji.
One faction.
The two factions can be said to be evenly matched, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. However, most of the emperor's followers are military attachés, while Bai Muji's followers are all weak civil servants.
If you want to become a powerful person, you can't just rely on a few weak scholars, so Bai Muji now takes the initiative to help Xiao Tiange and strongly recommends her to make achievements. It can be said that it is a very wise choice.
"Students are really stupid. Master, please tell me clearly if you have any instructions!"
"Haha... Your Highness, Sixth Prince, if you were stupid, the old minister wouldn't recommend you in the hall just now. If you were stupid, Old Chen wouldn't betroth my grandson to you. If you were stupid, Old Chen wouldn't be betrothed to you now.
I won’t wait here anymore!”
Bai Muji said several ifs in a row and praised Xiao Tiange very much. Xiao Tiange was very happy to receive such praise from Bai Muji.
"Master's words are serious. If you have something to say, master, you might as well say it directly!"
Bai Muji's expression was tense, his sharp eyes glanced back and forth, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Although you seem to be a great marshal this time, Lin Fengxia is famous for being arrogant, jealous, and stingy. The emperor named you to be the marshal today, but he let you down regardless of your qualifications or
Lin Fengxia, who has higher military exploits than you, is just a deputy commander, do you think she can swallow this?"
Xiao Tiange had expected this early in the morning, so he was not surprised and said calmly:
"The student has also considered it, but no matter how arrogant General Lin is, he would not dare to do anything to the student? The student is still a princess after all!"
Bai Muji gave a meaningful smile: "It is true that she will not do anything to you openly, but she can secretly plot against you, such as the soldiers you lead..."
Xiao Tiange was suddenly startled and looked at Bai Muji. Bai Muji looked back at her quietly with a serious face.
Bai Muji is right, no matter how powerful the leader is, if the generals in the army don't listen to your orders, then what's the point of being a bald commander?
Can a person win a battle if he goes to the battlefield alone? Xiao Tiange sincerely saluted Bai Muji:
"Students understand, thank you teacher for reminding me!"
"Your Highness, the battlefield requires real guns and live ammunition, not arm's length talks, and it's not something you just have to endure. I hope you can understand. Finally, I sincerely hope that Your Highness will return in triumph!"
