Chapter Seventeen: Why did the third brother resign?
In the majestic Dragon Palace, the morning dynasty is taking place.
There were two rows of ministers on the left and right standing in the main hall.
Led by Bing Zhiwen on the left, the ministers standing behind him all looked a little arrogant. Seeing that the emperor was neither humble nor overbearing, they just bowed their heads slightly, showing a slight humility. Among this row of ministers, Bing Yuanfeng, who was dressed in military general's court uniform, stood out.
Yuan Nan and Bing Yuan Shan just lowered their heads and hid themselves among the courtiers, with timid expressions.
In the row on the right, the Right Prime Minister Yan Zhong stands at the head. His eyes are extremely humble and he does not even dare to raise his head. The Right Prime Minister is like this, and the ministers behind him are even worse. Most of them have their backs hunched and their heads lowered in silence.
The power of the left prime minister has been in the government and the opposition for many years, which has hollowed out the strength of the right prime minister. Nowadays, the right prime minister in the court is just a decoration, which does not play the role of mutual support and mutual support with the left prime minister.
Emperor Leng squinted his eyes and glanced at the second row of ministers standing with His Highness. His heart was as clear as a mirror. Although he was angry with the powerful left prime minister, he could not act rashly to overthrow him for the time being, so he had to swallow his anger. He was actually an emperor, but he couldn't be 100% sure.
How could he not be angry when Bai was in control of the court? He was unwilling to give in. He would one day bring down the left prime minister! He would be worse than death!
He turned his eyes slightly to the middle of the hall, where King He was wearing embroidered python court clothes. King He was giving him a kind look on the dragon throne. Leng Di felt relieved. At least he was not alone. He was still alive.
He has a younger brother who always supports him!
"If you have the foundation, you will play, if you don't have the foundation, you will retreat!" Liu Shu saw that the ministers were speechless when they went to court today, so he cast a questioning look at Emperor Leng. When Emperor Leng narrowed his eyes, he sang with understanding.
"I have a plan to report!" As soon as Liu Shu finished speaking, Bingyuan Feng came out of the queue, knelt on one foot and clasped his fist.
"Quick!" Emperor Leng glanced at Zuo Xiang and saw that he was looking at his son in confusion, so he put on a meaningful smile. It seems that the news that Zuo Xiang and San'er were not at odds was not false! See him
This time, he looked at San'er with confusion. He was afraid that what San'er reported must not have been discussed with Zuo Xiang.
"I ask your Majesty to allow me to resign!" His words shocked everyone!
"Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about! You are responsible for protecting your family and country, how can you say such treacherous words?! Even if you want to resign, the urgent war on the border will not allow you to shirk!" Zuo Xiang Bing Zhiwen
He came back to his senses and yelled loudly. He wanted to remind Bingyuan Peak to put national affairs first and never give up a big responsibility for his own selfishness. In fact, Bing Zhiwen knew that he wanted to stay in the capital to take care of his little sister secretly.
The only way to stay in the capital is to resign. This third son is too upright and dotes on his sister too much.
"My child has made up his mind, I hope dad won't stand in the way!" Bingyuan Feng turned his head away, not looking at his father's angry look.
"What Bing Aiqing said is true! The position of general on the border is very important. When you were guarding the border, you often performed extraordinary feats. How could you suddenly resign? If you don't have a suitable reason, I will definitely not allow it!"
The surface meaning of Emperor Leng's words was to persuade Bingyuan Feng to change his mind. In fact, the inner meaning was that if there was a suitable reason, he would really be allowed to resign. Emperor Leng had always wanted to ask King He to control the 300,000 troops on the border! Yes!
How could he let go of such a good opportunity?! The Bing family's control of these 300,000 troops has long been a cancer in his heart. Now that Bingyuan Peak has resigned, Emperor Leng is undoubtedly secretly happy.
Now, as long as Bingyuan Peak casually mentions any reason, Emperor Leng will agree!
"I...I have no reason!" His words shocked everyone again! Now everyone in the palace looked at him with doubts and surprise.
"You traitor!" 'Pah!'! Zuo Xiang slapped Bingyuanfeng without hesitation. Looking at Bingyuanfeng's still determined look, Zuo Xiang resented the iron indifference and angrily shouted: "Do you know if you resign?
, the 300,000 soldiers and horses at the border will be in chaos?!"
"The Emperor will send capable people to take over!" Bingyuan Feng looked directly at his father stubbornly.
"You...you...do you know that the late emperor has a decree that the border troops and horses will always be controlled by the Ice Tribe? If you resign, your two brothers will only take over. And your two brothers are both civil servants, how can you be qualified?
?" Bing Zhiwen's beard was slightly raised, and his voice was trembling.
This sentence made everyone nod slightly. The ministers all knew about the late emperor's decree, and they were also very confused. They wondered why the late emperor did not give such great military power to Emperor Leng, but to the Bing family.
, really weird.
"This..." Bingyuan Peak heard this and lowered his head in thought.
Leng Di glanced at the crowd calmly, and saw that all the ministers nodded slightly, and seemed to think that what Zuo Xiang said was reasonable. Leng Di's teeth were itching with hatred, and he clenched his fists with both hands, but there was no wave on his face, and his sharp eyes were not cold.
scattered.
Liu Shu glanced at the forbearing Emperor Leng, and secretly feared for the indifferent and charming queen. Emperor Leng was afraid that he would turn his anger on her! Liu Shu still had a good impression of the queen, and there was no calculation in her eyes, only indifference.
.Besides, his fellow countrymen have told him many times that this queen is very kind and generous. Alas! Why is she the daughter of the left prime minister?
"Okay! In my opinion, General Bing should not even think about resigning for a moment! Personal matters are not as important as state affairs! Just guard the border!" Junyi and Wang suddenly put on an attractive word.
Smiling, he came to Bingyuan Peak and helped him up. At this moment, He Wang whispered in his ear without leaving any trace: "Don't worry about Ling'er, I will protect you!"
Hearing this, Bingyuan Feng turned his head and looked meaningfully at He Wang, who was smiling. He was relieved about He Wang's character. So Bing Yuan Feng also smiled gratefully at him. With He Wang's words,
He can go back to the border with peace of mind!
Seeing this, Emperor Leng squinted at Zuo Xiang, who had regained his composure, and made a plan in his mind. Maybe he should make the relationship between father and son deeper. It was obvious that Bingyuan Peak trusted He Wang, so
…
"What you said to the king makes sense! I think General Bing has made great achievements in battle and is a rare general. If he resigns, it will definitely affect the foundation of the country. I won't allow it!" Emperor Leng still said his signature cold words. He explored
He glanced at the frowning Bingyuan Feng and said, "I know very well that General Bing and the Queen are deeply affectionate as brothers and sisters, so I specifically allow General Bing to stay in Beijing until the Queen returns to her parents' home to visit her relatives before leaving!"
"I thank you Lord Long for your kindness!" Bingyuan Peak knelt down and said gratefully after hearing this. In fact, he felt depressed in his heart. He didn't expect that he would have to ask for permission from the emperor to meet his sister now. I was really helpless.
Wang He glanced thoughtfully at Empress Leng on the dragon throne, turned her head and smiled. She was finally leaving the palace!!
As soon as he returned home from the imperial court, Bing Zhiwen called his third son, Bingyuan Feng, into the study and dismissed the servants.
"Three, what you did today is very dangerous! If the emperor really allows you to resign, you will lose more than you gain!" Bing Zhiwen sat at the desk and looked at the frowning Bingyuan Feng with serious words.
"Dad! How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den?! The boy knew that Emperor Leng would not easily believe that our father and son were at odds, so he had no choice but to take this trick! But the boy also knew the late emperor's will, so he was sure that he would not lose.
The post of general! Just what happened today will definitely make Emperor Leng very angry. I wonder if he will take his anger out on his sister! Hey!" Bingyuan Feng walked to the window, opened it, and took a look at the lotus pond outside the window.
The figure of his younger sister playing by the lotus pond suddenly appeared. In just half a year, her sister was already trapped in a prison. He may never be able to play with his sister unscrupulously again. Looking back on the past, it feels like a lifetime ago...
"Thinking of Ling'er, I feel so ashamed as a father! I can't even protect my own daughter, and let my father go to the underworld one day. How can I have the face to see your mother!" Bing Zhiwen glanced at the wall sadly.
There was a picture of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall, and he choked with sobs and said, "They say she is the master of patriarchal rights, but who knows that these rights are harmful to people, and if a father could choose, he would definitely not want these rights!"
It’s just that I agreed to the late emperor, and that’s all I did! Otherwise, I would really disrespect the late emperor’s trust.”
"Dad, I know that you have a heavy responsibility. I will definitely help you with all my strength and prevent the world from becoming chaotic! It's just that Emperor Leng doesn't trust us, which is very bad!" Bingyuan Peak felt a little angry.
"Just keep everything as usual!" Bing Zhiwen pinched his eyebrows and said calmly. He was really tired.
