Chapter 16
Qu Chu's expression was correct: "It's just that if the king of Chu marries, the status of a side concubine may not be able to make Hai Dongying tempted. But..."

Having said that, Qu Chu stopped.

The emperor was curious.

"But what?"

Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei, it was the first time she looked at him carefully.

I used to think he was good-looking, but I didn't take a closer look.

Ning Youbei has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly upturned, and the eyes are watery. When looking at people, they seem to seduce people's souls.The nose is tall and delicate, and the lips are thin and stylish.

Although this kind of appearance has indescribable charm and charm, it is not feminine.

"I suddenly felt that if Hai Lizhu met the King of Chu, she would definitely fall in love with him. I think that the King of Chu is the most suitable person to go to the west."

King Chu: "..."

emperor:"……"

Dayu Dynasty Meeting

The ministers who went to court today found that there was one more person in the court.

It can't be said that it was an extra person, because she was standing at the top of the military commander before.She just hasn't come to court for some time.

Seeing her, Shangshu of the Ministry of War rang an alarm bell in his heart.

He leaned over to Prime Minister Fang and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Is it possible that the withheld military report has been known?"

Prime Minister Fang was not sure, but he knew: no big deal, the emperor would not declare Qu Chu to go to court at this time.

He said four words softly: "Responsiveness."

Seeing Qu Chu go to court, all the ministers realized that something had happened.Before they know the truth, they won't target her casually, lest they don't even know about it!
……

Today is really a big deal!
The emperor himself said: He received a secret report from General Fan, the defense general in the west, that the tribes in the west are preparing to form an alliance to deal with the Dayu Dynasty.

The emperor questioned the minister of the Ministry of War:

"General Fan said that an emergency military report was sent to the Ministry of War. I calculated the date and it should have arrived two days ago. Why didn't I see you report it to me?"

Du Haiping, Minister of the Ministry of War, was prepared when he saw Qu Chu, and now he is not afraid to see the emperor questioning him.

"Report to Your Majesty: I haven't seen this military report yet, so I'll check it out immediately after court to see what link was delayed."

The emperor did not intend to use this incident to punish Du Haiping.Even if they conduct a thorough investigation, they will be able to come up with scapegoats.

He just warned them: Even if your general conceals it, I still have channels to know the news.

Emperor: "Now that things have happened, do you have any good countermeasures?"

After Du Haiping received the military report, he told Prime Minister Fang about it. Prime Minister Fang meant to let him suppress it for a few days. They secretly prepared first, and it was best to use this opportunity to seize military power.

Now hearing the emperor's question, as Minister of the Ministry of War, Du Haiping was the first to come out.

"Report to Your Majesty: I believe that the alliances in the west are not to be feared. As long as they send additional troops, they will definitely be repelled."

The emperor remained calm: "Then Aiqing means how many additional troops will be sent? Who will lead the troops?"

Although Du Haiping is not as cunning and cunning as Prime Minister Fang, he is not a good friend.Seeing the emperor asked him, he replied:

"I heard the news suddenly, so I haven't calculated how many additional troops will be sent, and I can't think of the most suitable leader.

However, although Huwei General Lu Pingxuan's current official position is not high, but he was also an experienced general of the second-rank guard before, and he has won many victories.Now is the opportunity to employ people, and the minister thinks that he can lead the army with his crimes and meritorious deeds. "

Du Haiping learned the lesson of recommending Lu Pingxuan in the court last time, and he took the initiative to explain that Lu Pingxuan was guilty of meritorious deeds.

The reason why the emperor retained Lu Pingxuan's position as General Huwei of the fifth rank was not only because of Prime Minister Fang's intercession, but also because Lu Pingxuan had indeed fought many victories.

There were too few generals who could fight in the Dayu Dynasty, so he had to use Lu Pingxuan.

The emperor did not express his position, and the king of Chu did not come out to object this time. Qu Chu stood still, his shoulders as straight as a gun.

Seeing that there was no objection, Duke Wei made a gesture to a courtier.

This courtier stood up:

"Report to Your Majesty: I think it is inappropriate. Not only is it inappropriate for Lu Pingxuan to lead the army, but it is even more inappropriate to increase troops at will."

Only then did the emperor open his mouth: "Then Aiqing, what good idea do you have?"

By this time, the ministers all understood that the emperor did not want to fight.

This news made Duke Wei happy.

The generals he can use are mainly Chang Weijun, but Chang Weijun is not bad in leading the city defense army in Yudu City. If he is really asked to fight, he will only die.

Therefore, Wei Guogong did not want to fight.

If there is a real war, either Qu Chu will return to the battlefield, or the most suitable candidate will be Lu Pingxuan.

But no matter which one it is, it is not what Wei Guogong wants to see.Otherwise, he would not expose Qu Chu's identity as a woman and force her to quit the army.

It's just that although Qu Chu withdrew from the army, the military power still failed to be controlled by Chang Weijun according to his plan, and was snatched away by the king of Chu who came out of nowhere.

If it was the King of Chu alone, he would definitely not be able to control the army.Unexpectedly, the emperor came up with a plan to build plank roads openly and cross Chencang secretly, so that Qu Chu married the king of Chu as his concubine.

This is all right, the army was successfully taken over by King Chu.

Thinking of this, Duke Wei involuntarily glanced at Qu Chu.

From the perspective of Duke Wei, only Qu Chu's silhouette can be seen.

Her complexion is stern and solemn, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a woman at all!

A few days ago, he also rented a brothel and drank with a group of men for a day in the brothel.

The king of Chu, with noble status, outstanding appearance, and outstanding demeanor, married Qu Chu, a man who is not a man, a woman or a woman, and does not abide by women's morals, so he is not afraid of knocking his teeth!
The Duke of Wei felt contemptuous: For the sake of power, the emperor did everything he could, even his beloved younger brother was sacrificed.

He didn't believe the rumors that the king of Chu fell in love with Qu Chucai and asked to marry her.

If he liked it, why didn't he ask for marriage sooner or later, and only asked for marriage when the news that she was a woman came out?

They probably didn't know that Qu Chu was a woman before, did they?How do you like it?

……

The emperor named Wei Guogong: "Wei Guogong, I want to hear your opinion."

The Duke of Wei came out:
"Report to Your Majesty: I agree with what Master Lin said, but I don't agree with war. We can send people to negotiate a peace."

Mr. Lin was the one who had been instructed by him to oppose the increase in troops just now, and he was the left servant of the third-rank official department.

"Then, according to Duke Wei's wishes, how should we negotiate a peace?"

Duke Wei gathered his thoughts together, bowed his head and answered.

"The Dayu Kingdom can pay a certain amount of silver, grain, silk, and tea to the tribes in the west every year to ensure stability."

As soon as Wei Guogong finished speaking, he was opposed by the Minister of the Household Department: "Now that the treasury is empty, it is impossible to take out money."

Minister of the Ministry of War also took the opportunity to step on the Duke of Wei: "Duke Wei is afraid of war, and he is betraying the country and seeking glory!"
