Chapter 26 Military Newspaper

In the end, the music and dance were naturally not there, but this is already the most peculiar meal in my life experience.

Seeing that the banquet was coming to an end, the queen said, "Sir, don't you have a place to stay yet. I'll order someone to clean up the room?"

I hurriedly said, "No need to worry, I'll still live in the General's Mansion."

"This..." the queen pondered for a moment and said, "Although there is no difference between me and my sister, I still hope that the gentleman can stay in the palace and listen to the teachings at any time."

Of course, I refused to separate from my mother and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome, I'm used to staying outside."

The queen smiled and said, "Yes, there are too many dull people in this deep palace, and I'm afraid it's also restricted. Since that's the case - old sister, I'll ask you."

My mother bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The queen asked me to prepare the chariot again and sent me to the gate of Qinzheng Hall with Prince Yun. She said warmly: "Qingyang has many inconveniences, so she can only send it here. Mr. Wan Wang, don't break the promise. The future of the daughter country depends on Mr. "

I waved my hand and said, "Don't worry, my elders, I will definitely go and come back early, and I will come to eat your Hundred Flowers Feast."

Prince Yun came to me with a snatch of time, with a pretty eye in his eyes and whispered: "Are you really not going with me?"

I smiled and said, "Another day, another day..."

Prince Yun seemed to hear the hidden meaning of my string and chuckled: "You are indeed not a good bird, but I like it."

After leaving the palace, my mother's Feifeng Army Guard led the horse. I finally let out a long sigh. My mother smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

I said, "In such a place, I can't avoid being worried. I'm afraid that I will be killed by you women. If you weren't my mother, I would have to be careful of you!"

"Barring!" My mother laughed and scolded, then said seriously: "This kind of thing is normal in the deep palace imperial family, but the emperor doesn't have to be too cautious. In her position, she must have no means of controlling her subordinates, but she has no fun with people close to her."

I said, "Don't you be surprised that she is so polite to me?"

My mother said directly: "No wonder, you think so because you don't understand what the Sword God is in the mainland. The Sword God is transcendent. The so-called kings, princes, generals and ministers in the world are really just ordinary people in the eyes of such people. The Queen is heart-to-hearted and hopes that you can really help her in the future. This is not surprising at all. If she wants to play tricks with you, she will do stupid things."

I suddenly said, "This is just like what Li Shimin meant to Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West".

My mother smiled and said, "It's almost the same." She suddenly said with a sad look on her face, "It's just that she has created such a big momentum this time, but this is not a good thing for you."

"What's wrong?"

"The attack of the Heigis Empire is imminent, and the people of the Kingdom of Women are now unstable. The emperor promoted with great fanfare that the reincarnated sword god had arrived in the Kingdom of Women, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and inspire fighting spirit, this matter will soon reach Emperor Heigis's ears. If you know your current situation again, do you think he will miss the opportunity and not take any action?"

I sighed, "Oh, I'm still being used by someone."

My mother said calmly: "You ate someone's feast and became someone's guest of honor. Can't you take advantage of this little advantage?"

I smiled and said, "You are so disappointing. I am your own son."

My mother said, "Fortunately, you will leave in two days. No matter how fast Heigis moves, it will take a month to go through the news, so I'm not very worried about this."

I said, "What's going on with Prince Yun? She seems to be very favored. Shouldn't the emperor be very taboo about his brothers and sisters?"

My mother said, "It's not a coincidence that Prince Yun is favored, he is an extremely smart person."

"Oh, what a smart way?"

The mother said, "The old emperor has two daughters in total. The older one is the current queen Hou Qingyang, and the younger daughter is Prince Yun Hou Qingquan. The latter is 10 years younger than the former. Hou Qingyang is gentle and elegant, and he is quite cunning. Hou Qingquan is smart and frank, and he is decisive and fair in his work. The old emperor has never made an heir. Everyone can see that she actually loves her younger daughter more. Naturally, there is a group of nobles around Hou Qingquan. The scene at that time was very unfavorable to Hou Qingyang. However, Hou Qingquan seemed to have no intention of imperial career. He was close to the ministers who pleased him, and was idle all day long without enterprising spirit. At first, everyone thought that she was secretive about advancement and retreating, but Hou Qingquan later said a sentence and finally completely dispelled the thoughts of these people. The old emperor passed the throne to Hou Qingyang."

I asked hurriedly, "What did she say?"

"When she was 17 years old, she said in front of everyone: 'I just want to be the King of Taiping for 30 years and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world."

I clapped my legs and said, "Oh, she's cutting off her own way!"

My mother said, "Just that year, the old emperor passed away and Hou Qingyang ascended the throne. 10 years ago, Hou Qingquan assisted her with all her heart and strength. The prosperity of the daughter country is all due to the step that Hou Qingquan took back then. Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that the disaster would cause Xiao Wall in the smallest way, and the collapse would be broken down in the big way. The daughter country would never have the prosperity it is now."

I sighed: "Hou Qingquan, this girl, looks stupid, is actually really smart!"

My mother nodded and said, "Because of this, after Hou Qingyang ascended the throne, he was very proud of this sister. He even made an exception and refused to change her name to avoid the word "Qing". Hou Qingquan still took the initiative to change her name. When he was in office, he also chose all the Qingshui yamen. The former Magic Department was just a small yamen. It was a bit unreasonable to ask a prince to be the chief, but Prince Yun is not small in real power. The empress had to discuss with her anything. Prince Yun is actually the uncrowned prime minister of the Kingdom of Women, and is considered to be more than ten thousand people. In order to respond to her 30-year-old Taiping King, the empress also said: '30 years are too few, I promise you for life'."

I was fascinated by the scene: "These sisters are not simple, and this Prince Yun seems to be a little more exciting."

My mother smiled and said, "The three words "Taiping King" have really been the ultimate. She went to court for something and found pleasure for nothing. Prince Yun is well-known for being a romantic person. She is indeed the best person in this way. She is a prince, but she may inevitably be criticized as a foolish emperor. She did that back then, but it may not be a self-knowledge."

I said, "If you are lustful, you may not be able to be a good emperor, right?"

My mother said, "It's not just this, I always feel that it's hard to have a more suitable person than the current queen when it comes to being an emperor."

"How can I see it?"

My mother said: "In terms of mind, few people can do this by handing over the 200,000 elite Feifeng Army to a minister with complete confidence."

I smiled and said, "No wonder you said good things for her. You are a vested interest-" I said mysteriously, "Mom, tell me the truth. If you rebel, how likely will you win?"

My mother looked back and glared at her, "You're going to die. Do you want others to hear this? We, the mother, must not dismember us from the body?"

"Hehe, there is no one else. Besides, isn't Feifeng Army your direct army? The so-called direct army must follow yours even if you want to rebel."

My mother shook her head and smiled, "I only know that the Queen's patrol army and the Gyeonggi garrison camp combined with less than 50,000 people, and the Feifeng Army's camp is outside the imperial city. If I really do something wrong, she will definitely be in a big mess. If you, a stinky brat, said this, I would never have thought about it."

I smiled and said, "I didn't instigate you to rebel. Even if you succeed, I won't get any benefits. In the Kingdom of Women, my grandmother's grandmother is a princess, which you can only use when you marry someone."

My mother also smiled: "Therefore, the empress is beyond her reach. She seems to be able to see through people's hearts and knows that I definitely have no ulterior motives. No matter how capable Prince Yun is, she will never be as good as her sister in this regard. But then again, people like her who are born without ambition are still worthy of admiration. You have never seen many incompetent princes in other countries who kill each other and want to seize the throne. In the end, if you fail, you will die without a burial place. Only those who win will be harmed by the country and the people. Prince Yun is really rare in royal children who are aware of the overall situation."

I chatted all the way back to the general's mansion. It was getting late. My mother asked me: "Are you going to bed or are you planning to stroll around?"

I reluctantly said, "You can chat with me again." My mother and I couldn't recognize each other for only one day and one night, and I'm going back in two days. I really can't bear to leave this time.

My mother was the same. She sat in the chair opposite me and asked questions about her parents’ questions, including which kindergarten I went to, what the primary school teacher taught, how to go home at noon every day, etc., but her eyes were filled with a gentleness that could not be melted.

As I was talking, I was hungry again. I had a dazzling banquet at the Queen's Flowers Feast, but my eyes were enjoying my stomach and I basically didn't catch anything. I said, "Mom, let's get some food. I didn't eat enough in the palace."

My mother said, "I'll go and put a bowl of noodles for you."

"How come you have to cook yourself if you have so many servants in your mansion?"

My mother smiled faintly and said, "After so many years, I have never cooked you. Today I will let you taste my skills."

After a while, my mother came in with a tray with two bowls of noodles on it. I hurriedly took it and said, "I have one bowl."

My mother smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not full."

I laughed and said, "I don't know what the Queen thought. Is this considered a crime of deceiving the monarch?"

I also had two eggs in my bowl, and a few slices of chopped green on the noodle soup. My appetite was so great that I ate it in large and small bowls with my mother. For a moment, the fragrance of noodles floated in the room, and the sound of two people sucking noodles. The scene was so warm.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Where is the general, where is the general!" Then there was a rapid sound of horse hooves and the sound of guards leading the way to drive armor. My mother frowned slightly and said: "It's six hundred miles to speed up, otherwise ordinary people would not dare to ride into the general's mansion. There must be some emergency military information." She pushed the bowl and came to the door. Outside the door, behind a team of soldiers, a thin and lonely soldier who could hardly see the human form rolled down from the horse. She had a bag tied to her chest, holding the reins with one hand, and holding a corner of the bag tightly with the other hand. She fell under the horse, pulled out a scroll of paper from the bag and handed it forward, crying and said in a crying voice: "General... urgently report!"

Someone took the paper roll and handed it to my mother. My mother looked at the man and ordered the guards: "You help her down and rest first." As he said that, he couldn't wait to walk back into the house, unfolding the paper roll. His face changed drastically as soon as he looked at it. He looked down a few lines. My mother raised her hair for a while, as if she couldn't figure out something. Then she slapped on the table in anger and roared: "Bastard!"

I was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

My mother waved her hand at me powerlessly, her eyes and eyebrows trembled slightly, and the paper also fell on the table. I picked it up and looked at it. I almost didn’t recognize the words on it. Naturally, I didn’t know what it was saying, but in just half of the paper, it seemed to have endless solemn intentions, which made people feel an ominous premonition...

My mother stood by the table, and suddenly she leaned forward and almost fell down. I hurriedly held her down and said carefully, "Mom, are you okay?"

My mother said to me weakly, "You keep eating, I'm fine." I saw that her eyes were bright, her face was covered with muscular muscles, and she was obviously oversad. I had no intention of eating noodles. I held her and gently pressed her hands on her temples. My mother was stunned for a moment, wiped her eyes, walked to the door, and said to the guards calmly: "Tell me the order, all the generals above the commanders will come to the general's mansion to meet up. I have something to say." The guard responded and left quickly. My mother turned around and came back barefootly, sat on the chair and remained silent. I couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"

"50,000 Feifeng Army, it's gone..." My mother seemed to answer my question and muttered to herself.

I was surprised and said, "What's going on?"

My mother stared at a corner of the room and said in a dream: "We have been betrayed..."

Seeing her absent-minded look, I couldn't bear to ask again. Now she needs quiet, so I just sat next to my mother and accompanied her.

After a while, the guards came to report: "The generals are already waiting outside the door. Where did the general meet them?"

My mother said, "Just here, let them come in."

Soon, footsteps outside the door were mixed, and more than 20 female generals with distinctive armor came in high spirits. These female generals were not old for many years, and a few were just over forty years old. They all looked quite windy and frosty, holding a knife and pressing a sword and entering calmly. The heroic and valiant aura of the female soldiers came to their faces, which made people feel energetic. My mother seemed to be infected, her expression gradually calmed down, and she could no longer see any sadness. These female generals obviously didn't know what was going on. They were chatting and laughing outside the door, but after entering the door, they all stood on both sides, and the room was silent and could immediately listen to the needle. They looked at their mother quietly, their eyes full of passion and admiration. They knew that the general would not gather them up, and they were ready to wait for the military order.

My mother kneaded the military newspaper into a ball in her palm and threw it on the table. She slowly got up and said in a low voice: "Just just now, I received a 600-mile rush. We sent 50,000 Feifeng Army to the 18-Nation Alliance, and the entire army was wiped out..."
