"The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules." Han Yulang raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zongheng. He raised his head without any emotion and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me according to the law."
"There is love outside the law. General Han is sincere and loyal. If the emperor punishes him for this, it will chill the hearts of thousands of soldiers~" A familiar voice sounded outside the palace, and Zhao Zongheng's sitting body unconsciously said
He straightened up, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the queen swaying into the palace wearing a phoenix robe and gorgeous clothes.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." Si Ningchi stopped in front of the palace and lowered his head in worship.
Si Ningchi came to Xuanming Hall only a handful of times, and rarely barged in when he was discussing matters. Today, I didn't feel displeased when I suddenly saw Si Ningchi barging in so boldly. It even felt a bit novel. I really want to hear what "high opinions" she has to say.
It was common to see imperial concubines at such times, such as Concubine Rong or Concubine Shu. They all came here specially for the sake of their brothers and sisters at home, or for their own matters, just to talk to the emperor. Zhao Zongheng has always been tolerant and is basically willing to listen to what they have to say. If he has already made a decision, he is too lazy to listen.
But why did the Queen come here today?
Zhao Zongheng gently curved his lips, looked at Si Ningchi and said, "What do you think, Queen?"
"Why doesn't your Majesty take this opportunity to change the laws of the Tianqing Kingdom?" Si Ningchi raised his chin slightly, looked at Zhao Zongheng and said with a smile: "If a woman is a general, what crime is there?"
"General Han made great military exploits for Tianqing, and everyone in the Han family died on the battlefield to protect their country." Si Ningchi lowered his eyes and said, "It would be ridiculous to punish General Han because he is a woman."
"It would be better to change the Tianqing law so that women can become generals and serve as officials in the court."
"Since the emperor has established the position of female official in the harem, he must have had this idea for a long time."
"Now that we have this opportunity, Your Majesty...don't you want it?"
What Si Ningchi said was extremely presumptuous. Wang Chengxiang, who was standing aside, stared at the empress who was making such nonsense in front of the emperor and asked the emperor to change the law!?
Han Yulang, who was still kneeling on the ground, was even more confused. He wanted to turn his head and take a look at the Queen, but he felt that his behavior was inappropriate, so he continued to kneel and lowered his head silently. His mind was full of questions, as if there were some...
I don’t understand why the queen protects her so much.
Zhao Zongheng looked at Si Ningchi without saying a word for a long time. He had always known how bold she was, but he didn't expect that where she looked was actually farther than what he saw.
Everyone said that the queen was flamboyant, had a perverse personality, and had no virtue, but no one knew that the vast and vast place in her heart was what made him, the emperor, Xu Du feel ashamed.
"I have never felt that General Han was guilty." Zhao Zongheng smiled with a soft smile, looked at Si Ningchi with gentle eyes and said: "It's just that even I can't convince everyone despite the strong recommendation of the ministers."
"If the emperor can't even make such a decision, then don't become the emperor." Si Ningchi rolled his eyes secretly, and the words he blurted out made the entire hall fall silent for two minutes.
"..."
Zhao Zongheng gritted his teeth and stared at Si Ningchi.
The word "presumptuous" came to her lips, but she couldn't say it to her.
Si Ningchi stepped forward, took out a piece of paper from his arms, placed it lightly on the table in front of Zhao Zongheng and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a good look at how many babies in Tianqing have been drowned by their biological parents?"
case."
"Why does your Majesty think they were so cruel to drown their own daughter?"
"Because women are useless~"
"Does the Emperor think that women are really useless?" Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng with a steady gaze and said, "I would like to ask General Han how many enemies he has killed after decades of service in the army?"
"I would like to ask again among the men in the world, how many of them are as good as General Han?"
"Ask the officials in the DPRK to find out how many of them are comparable to General Han. They also criticized General Han with words and writings."
The woman standing in front of the emperor had an open look and her eyes were full of disdain. She seemed to have never had a trace of fear and was determined in everything she did. Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes slightly and looked at her, feeling a little uncomfortable in his chest.
The emotion of speech.
This is his queen.
Zhao Zongheng looked down at the paper that fell on the table and frowned slightly. The densely packed names on the paper made people look at him.
"As a general, a woman can still protect me, Tianqing, and the mountains and rivers. If I were born a woman, I would be guilty. Then the emperor would have to ask you to go back and kill your own mothers."
"..." Zhao Zongheng glanced at Si Ningchi, raised his hand and picked up the paper on the table and said: "The queen's words make sense, I will think about it carefully."
"Your Majesty is wise~"
Wang Chengxiang and Han Yulang witnessed the whole process. After witnessing the emperor not saying a word, and the empress being so rude and rude, speaking nonsense in front of the emperor without punishment, and walking away without punishment, the two people in the palace were instantly in awe.
Respectfully.
Wang Chengxiang: "..." If we live long enough, we can see all kinds of scenes!
Which of the Queen's words today would not be a serious crime of beheading?
Is our emperor selectively deaf?
Can your ears pick up the words and listen?
Wang Chengxiang secretly took deep breaths several times before suppressing his surging heartbeat. Han Yulang, who was kneeling down, was completely at a loss. Obviously this incident seemed to be caused by her, but for some reason it seemed to have nothing to do with her.
What does it look like?
Moreover, the Queen is so domineering...
She dared to tell the emperor not to be the emperor. Does this mean that the emperor is useless?
Oh my god.
The emperor was not upset and allowed the queen to speak like this, and even praised the queen for what she said was reasonable.
Han Yulang wanted to reach out and touch his head, wondering if it had been chopped off to see such a ridiculous and weird scene.
Shortly after the queen left, the news about Han Yulang's disguise as a man spread. As expected, it caused huge waves and controversy inside and outside the capital. Such an incredible thing caught everyone off guard.
Those who were still planning to divide the military power of the Han family had their original plans completely disrupted.
The world-famous jade-faced war god is actually a woman!?
"What are Suyun doing?" Si Ningchi looked at Suyun facing the wall and couldn't help but raise his lips and smile, gently raising his chin and asked.
"Maybe you don't want to believe that General Han is a woman." Su Yongde glanced at Suyun and said dryly.
"A girl's dream is broken?"
"..."
Su Yun turned her head in aggrieved manner, glared at Su Yongde angrily, walked up to Si Ningchi and said, "Mother, have you really seen it? General Han is really a woman?"
Si Ningchi curved his lips and responded with a smile: "It's absolutely true."
