Tyrant [Rebirth]

A few days later, Chu Shaoling received the news from the queen mother in the imperial city. The previous words were roughly the same as the news from Chu Shaotao. Because the news from the queen mother was a few days later than Chu Shaotao, there was more content.

After reading it, Chu Shaoling handed the letter to Wei Ji and said with a smile, "The imperial city is very lively now."

After the emperor fell into a coma, the empress dowager in the imperial city was alone in charge, and there were various voices in the court. Some wanted Chu Shaoling to return to the court to act as an agent of state affairs, some wanted to invite Chu Shaoyang back from the fief to serve the sick, and even more ridiculous was the request to let the fifth prince enter. The queen mother didn't listen to anyone who was learning to be a director. She immediately reorganized the cabinet and dismissed those ministers who were favored by the emperor for wrongdoing or because they were old enough to reward them with the grace of retirement. After dismissing all of them, Zi Junhou and other old officials were promoted, and the court immediately became much quieter.

After the accident, the Queen Mother locked up those people in Zhen's Mansion and Chu Shaoruan's direct line, and several prominent families in the imperial city suddenly collapsed.

The empress dowager only locked people up but never let them go. Firstly, she wanted to wait for the emperor to make arrangements for herself. Secondly, the empress dowager was becoming more and more short-spirited now. Those who cried and wiped away their tears had to write blood letters to report their grievances, and those who were not imprisoned went around pleading for mercy every day, which disturbed the Queen Mother for a while. Chu Shaotao kindly suggested that the Queen Mother kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. The real Zhen Jiaxin was beheaded, there was an uproar, and everyone became quieter, and the queen mother then freed up to write a letter to Chu Shaoling.

The empress dowager explained the affairs of the court in detail and persuaded Chu Shaoling not to listen to the slander and go back to the court in violation of orders. After being promoted, there will be no chaos in the imperial city for the time being. In the end, the queen mother couldn't help but gloated and said a few words about the situation in the cold palace: Concubine Li was very sad when Zhen Jiaxin was beheaded. She hanged herself several times, but she was rescued by others. After getting down, now I don't think about eating and look tired, I don't know when I will go with my father.

Chu Shaoling was afraid of shaking the morale of the army and did not tell the generals about the affairs of the court. Everything in the army continued as usual. Two days later, the army arrived at Karakash, the northwest border. The northern army arrived five days earlier than Chu Shaoling and the others. Numerous tents are connected together on the northwest border, and thousands of hundreds of Chu character flags are set up, forming a unique scenery on the northwest border.

After the two armies joined forces, Chu Shaoling first arranged which team each officer was leading, and after the counting, Bai Yunjiang asked suspiciously: "Prince, there are still [-] elite soldiers brought from the imperial city that have not been arranged, are these the prince's personal guards? "

Chu Shaoling put down his pen and raised his head and said: "Old General Bai misunderstood. He came to the northwest to live and die with all the soldiers to resist Liaoliang Dizi. How could he keep his own soldiers to save his life? These 6000 people belonged directly to General Hussars. .”

As soon as this remark came out, the tent suddenly became quiet, and the soldiers inside looked at each other without knowing it. What does His Royal Highness mean by this?If Chu Shaoling kept these people to himself, it would be fine. What would he do if he gave a baby six thousand elite soldiers?Play with him? !

On the way, Chu Shaoling kept Wei Ji by his side every day. When the other generals were eating big pot meals, Wei Ji was eating small stoves in Chu Shaoling's exquisite carriage. During the journey, Wei Ji was given the same treatment as Chu Shaoling in food and lodging, and the other soldiers saw it, and a few narrow-minded ones were already resentful, but Chu Shaoling became more reckless.

Wei Zhan was worried all the way, fearing that Chu Shaoling's being too kind to Wei Ji would make all the soldiers envious, and now it really happened, Wei Zhan turned his head to look at Wei Ji, Wei Ji pursed his lower lip and said nothing.

Chu Shaoling didn't tell Wei Ji about this before, but in this situation, if Wei Ji humbly rejected Chu Shaoling's intentions, he would be able to pick himself out, but it would inevitably make people think that Chu Shaoling was ineffective and defended in Wei Ji's heart. Chu Shaoling was the top priority, so even though he disagreed, he didn't say anything, and bowed his head slightly without saying a word.

Bai Yunjiang was very dissatisfied in his heart. He is 53 years old this year. Whether he can go to the battlefield again in the future is still a matter of opinion. Whether he can be famous in the history books in this life depends on this time. Unexpectedly, he wants to make wedding dresses for others. Bai Yunjiang couldn't hold back and said loudly: "Wei Ji has no military achievements and no qualifications, how can he command six thousand elite soldiers?"

Chu Shaoling raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "When the old general Bai went to the battlefield for the first time, I'm afraid he had no military exploits or qualifications."

Bai Yunjiang was blocked by Chu Shaoling, and his heart became even more angry, and he said: "It is understandable for the prince to want to promote the guards around him, but six thousand elite soldiers are too many! For the first time on the battlefield, one thousand is enough. "

"Old General Bai is worrying too much, Gu Gu knows it well." Chu Shaoling said lightly, "Wei Ji used to be Gu's personal guard, but now he is no longer. Wei Ji is now worshiping under Zhang Lifeng, Zhang Lifeng. , Mr. Gu can't refute General Zhang's face, besides...as Zhang Lifeng's apprentice, I can't think of it as bad."

After carrying out Zhang Lifeng, Bai Yunjiang had nothing more to say, sat down angrily and said nothing more, Chu Shaoling took a sip of tea and looked at Bai Yunjiang and said lightly: "Also... the conscription is out, let's call him General Gu, one prince at a time , people can't help but feel that there are no rules in front of the lonely king's tent."

Bai Yunjiang was speechless for a long time when he was on the top of Chu Shaoling, blushing and clasping his fists, he said: "Yes."

Chu Shaoling put down the teacup and continued to make arrangements: "The Liaoliang soldiers withdrew a few days ago. The spies sent a letter saying that the Liaoliang King is also gathering soldiers. A bad battle is inevitable. This time we will go through Karaka Shi directly went to Liaoliang, but in order to avoid future troubles, all the people of Karakash were taken away, and the arrangements were made by the general protecting the country."

Wei Zhan got up and bowed his head, saying: "The last general takes orders."

Chu Shaoling waved his hands and continued: "I have already sent envoys to Liaoliang this morning, let's see how the king of Liaoliang responds."

Lian Yu looked up and asked, "How did the general tell King Liaoliang?"

Chu Shaoling smiled faintly: "I want the king of Liaoliang to offer 5000 young girls and children each, 10 taels of gold, 3 horses, and [-] young slaves and servants, and he is asked to promise that the people of Liaoliang will retreat from the northwest border for three hundred miles and never leave the country." No invasion is allowed, if the King of Liaoliang agrees, he will retreat."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help sighing that Chu Shaoling was ruthless. Children, adults, gold, and horses, what Chu Shaoling wanted were all things that could shake the foundation of Liaoliang. Lian Yu laughed and said, "If the king of Liaoliang agrees ...Liaoliang has no hope of recovery within 20 years."

"I just said that because I knew he wouldn't agree." Chu Shaoling sneered in his heart. If the peace talks were made easily, where would Wei Ji's military exploits go? Liaoliang King should also want peace talks at this time, but these conditions forced him to He had to go to war, and these soldiers knew it well, Chu Shaoling smiled, "Mr. Gu will not let all the generals come here for nothing. What I said just now is not to scare King Liaoliang. This is the bottom line of King Gu. If the king of Liaoliang refuses to agree, our Chu army will not leave Liaoliang for a day, let's see who can survive."

Although everyone felt that Chu Shaoling was cruel and merciless, they couldn't help but secretly looked forward to it. Although Chu Shaoling had a bad temper, he would never suffer under his subordinates. As a general, who would not want to make meritorious deeds, but how did the credit come from?It was piled up with human heads.

After explaining everything clearly, Chu Shaoling said: "All the soldiers are resting and recuperating for the past few days, and they can start fighting after the king of Liaoliang's reply. Who is patrolling today?"

Everyone didn't answer, and after a while Bai Yunjiang whispered: "Today is the turn of the last general."

"It's hard work, old general. Although the battle has not started yet, you should be more careful." Chu Shaoling didn't even look at Bai Yunjiang, and ordered a few more words before ordering them to disperse.

"Your Highness..." Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoling hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't Your Highness tell the minister before?"

Chu Shaoling smiled: "You can still agree after you say it? Forget it, what a big deal, I really can't figure out what those people think, do I need a reason to promote you? It's ridiculous how old Bai Yunjiang is and still entangles me These things."

Wei Ji knew that Chu Shaoling was also a little angry today, so he tried to persuade him: "The old general is sitting upright, and there are some things that you can't see. Your Highness is embarrassing him in front of so many people, and he can't get down." Taiwan lost its composure."

Chu Shaoling couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with him? Naturally, whoever I trust should be nicer to the other, and I want me to treat them equally with all my heart. Is it a dream?"

Wei Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Highness, why do you say fallacies as if they are right? Your Highness is getting more and more..." The following words are hard to say, Wei Ji knew that he had slipped his words and stopped talking, but Chu Shaoling regained his spirit and said with a smile: "That's all , what did you just want to say?"

Wei Ji hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is becoming more and more unreasonable."

"How can it be more and more unreasonable? I have never been reasonable." Chu Shaoling unbuttoned his collar, changed his outer robe and put it aside, approached Wei Ji and slightly lowered his head to look into Wei Ji's eyes. After a long while, he said indifferently, "I have worked so hard to get to today's position not to be reasonable, nor to bring justice for anyone. I never wanted to be emperor for the common people and subjects. I just want to be able to act recklessly, to make myself You can pamper your sweetheart as much as you want..."

Chu Shaoling took a step forward and stuck close to Wei Ji, his phoenix eyes quietly looked at Wei Ji's clear eyes, and said softly: "I finally climbed to this seat, why should I be patient? Why are you taking care of the overall situation? ? That's just nonsense, I can spoil whoever I want, but what if they don't like it? What can they do to me?"

Wei Ji looked into Chu Shaoling's eyes and felt his chest beating like a drum. He obviously disagreed with Chu Shaoling's words, but he couldn't refute them. He is not a person who doesn't know what to do. Chu Shaoling did this for him, for him .

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "What's the matter? You can't tell me?"

"Your Highness..." Wei Ji lowered his eyes and didn't know what to say, and said for a while, "I understand His Highness's intentions, and I know that I am actually happy in my heart when His Highness treats me like this, but..."

"No need but." Chu Shaoling breathed a sigh of relief. He was all for Wei Ji. It would be ridiculous if Wei Ji came to tell him the truth without knowing what to do. Fortunately, Wei Ji was not so pretentious. People, if you like it, you like it. Chu Shaoling felt very relieved when he got the response from his lover, and said lazily, "If you like it, don't you thank me? General Wei, those are six thousand elite soldiers..."

Wei Ji paused for a moment, blushing a little, and said in a low voice, "Mr... I thank you."

"It's more or less the same." Chu Shaoling held Wei Ji in his arms and kissed him, and said in a low voice, "No matter what rewards you get in the future, as long as you obediently thank you, understand?"

Wei Ji nodded grumpily: "Understood."
