After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 99
He Qingchang raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai.

The time between the two seemed to be frozen. After a long time, a trace of regret flashed in He Qingchang's eyes, and he said: "Your Majesty's love, I am ashamed of receiving it. I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Majesty. "

The scorching fire in Ye Qinghuai's eyes seemed to be extinguished in an instant, she sighed silently, and showed a regretful smile.

He Qingchang rejected the olive branch she offered.

"Is it because Gu Shihai is better than me?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

He Qingchang lowered his head again and stopped talking.

Curiosity arose in Ye Qinghuai's eyes, and she asked with a smile, "In that case, why did you come to see me today?"

He Qing was silent for a while, and finally he raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai again, his eyes were still as calm as water, but shimmering with sparkling waves.

"Although I can't help His Majesty, I have someone to recommend me." He paused and said, "General Wei Wei, General of Jingji Wei Shenwei, Zhao Yinshi."

Ye Qinghuai was slightly startled, and turned to think: So that's why he came here.

"Zhao Yinshi is the successor of the famous founding general Zhao Chengfeng. He has mastered Zhao's marksmanship. In terms of skill, he is well-known in Shengjing. Moreover, when he fought against Jinchuan five years ago, he was awarded the General, he was General Zhang Xuwen's deputy, and he was the deputy commander of the army at that time, and he is a man of general talent."

Ye Qinghuai didn't know about Zhao Yinshi's past.But she had heard of Zhang Xuwen's name.This man is both wise and brave, and he led the troops to fight several victories in the Shunping dynasty. The late emperor once praised him as the number one general in Shunping.Zhao Yin can really serve as a lieutenant under him, and he will never be an ordinary person.

"With such a resume, it is logical to be named a great general. Why is he not promoted but relegated, and now he is only a fifth-rank General Wei?" Ye Qinghuai couldn't help asking curiously.

"After the Battle of Jinchuan, he injured his ankle and couldn't use his right leg, so he asked to be discharged from the army. At that time, the late emperor wanted to give him the position of commander of the imperial army, but he refused several times because of his leg injury. Later, the late emperor wrote Annoyed, not only did he not reward him for his military exploits in the Battle of Jinchuan, but he was demoted and asked him to go to Jingji Weizhong to be a general of the guard." He Qingchang suddenly smiled when he said this, and said , "He didn't have any complaints, on the contrary, he was very happy. He became a general of the four-year guard in one fell swoop."

This was the first time Ye Qinghuai saw him smile.It can be seen that He Qingchang not only understands this Zhao Yinshi, but also appreciates it.

"Why did He Qing recommend him to me? Is there anything special about him?"

"The Zhao family is well-known among the aristocratic families in Shengjing. Although it has declined over the years, the name of General Zhao Chengfeng is still there, and the various aristocratic families still have to sell some face. I have discussed the art of war with General Zhao several times, and I have also fought against each other in military exercises. I can assure Your Majesty that this person's resourcefulness is by no means inferior to yours."

He Qingchang looked at Ye Qinghuai with those serious triangular eyes, and said: "Your Majesty just said that you want a brave, resourceful, loyal and filial man to command the Imperial Army. I think that General Zhao is the most suitable."

Ye Qinghuai thought to himself, what He Qingchang said was right, Zhao Yinshi was enough to restrain the Imperial Army no matter what his family experience was, if he was really as intelligent and courageous as Qingchang said, he would indeed be a good candidate.

but--

"He Qing said earlier that when the first emperor wanted to appoint him as the commander of the forbidden army, he had disobeyed Shang's wishes several times. Now how can we be sure that he is willing to come to be the commander of the forbidden army?"

He Qingchang was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "On the eve of the Forbidden Army Palace, Your Majesty gave him a secret decree, right?"

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while and said, "Yes. How did He Qing know that?"

"It was General Zhao who told the officer." He Qingchang paused and said, "If he hadn't come to look for the officer overnight, what His Majesty saw outside Chengtian Gate that day might not have been the forbidden army of thousands of people. .”

It is Gyeonggi Guard with tens of thousands of people.

Ye Qinghuai heard the implication of his words.

"Elder Gu Ge already knew about this matter. I'm afraid that General Zhao, the General of Wei, will not be serving for long." He Qingchang said, lowering his eyes.

Ye Qinghuai was silent for a while, and said: "It turns out that He Qing came to see me today to find a way out for Zhao Yinshi."

He Qingchang didn't nod or shake his head.He was silent and did not speak.

If He Qingchang's words are true, then Zhao Yin has indeed taken Ye Qinghuai's side invisibly, and there is no way out for Gu Shihai.

"Why did he do this?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Your Majesty will ask General Zhao what he thinks." He Qingchang still answered in the usual stiff way.

Ye Qinghuai knew that he couldn't ask more about Zhao Yinshi's situation, so she asked He Qingchang again: "Isn't He Qing afraid that Mr. Gu Ge will be suspicious? Since you want to recommend a worthy person to me , why do you still insist on standing on Gu Ge's side?"

He Qingchang's calm black eyes drooped down again, his Adam's apple rolled slowly, and said: "When your majesty looked at the resume of the official, did you see that the official had been imprisoned before?"

Before meeting him, Ye Qinghuai did check his resume, and even asked Li Baoquan about him.But neither in the official document nor in Li Baoquan's memory, He Qingchang had never been in prison.

"In the early years of Shunping, when I was a member of the military department, I was implicated in the case of Hu Lingyun collaborating with the enemy, and was suspended for questioning. I have repeatedly written letters to clarify, and begged for a thorough investigation, but there is no news." He Qingchang paused, said, "This is actually a very simple matter. As long as you carefully check the documents between Hu Lingyun and the official, you can prove the innocence of the official, but no one does it."

"Shortly after, the Xiaguan was released suddenly, and the official was reinstated. Later, the Xiaguan inquired many ways, and found out that Gu Ge, who was in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs at the time, took over the case. Eleven irrelevant people reported to the imperial court, clearing up our grievances. At that time, the lower official and Mr. Gu Ge were just nodding acquaintances."

He Qingchang seemed to recall something, he paused, and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu Ge has the grace of saving lives, and even more of the grace of knowing you. You should not be ungrateful. Gu Ge always doubts your subordinates, even if you If you want to kill the head of the lower official, the lower official will not complain. This life of the lower official was originally fished out by him."

Ye Qinghuai didn't know that there was such a relationship between the two of them.

She couldn't help but look at Gu Shihai's imperial methods with admiration.

But in this way, He Qingchang's actions today, as well as his inaction in the Chengtianmen incident, seemed unreasonable again.

"He has such great kindness to you, how can you bear to let him down outside the Chengtian Gate?"

He Qingchang was silent for a while, and said: "The lower official is Gu Ge's disciple, but the lower official is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. What the lower official does is just what a minister of the Ministry of War should do."

He looked at Ye Qinghuai with a determined expression.
