Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 80 Do you want to abolish public service for personal reasons?

The Ning family threatened to die, and their son and daughter begged for mercy, so Shi Yucheng's divorce letter was not written.

But it is true that things are going crazy in the Office of the Minister of Rites, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Everyone who went to the Duke of Wei's mansion that day guessed that the cause of the incident was that Mrs. Shi was used to being arrogant and arrogant. She didn't care about offending Taifu Ye's niece, but she still dared to demand that Mrs. Ye, whom Taifu regarded as a treasure, should kneel down to her. As a result, it hit the iron plate.

Now he is only demoted to the right servant, which is the best result.

Xia Haicheng called Xia Chixiao over again, so he could not avoid scolding him, but Xia Chixiao was unmoved. He made Xia Haicheng fall back in anger and threatened: "You are the direct head of the Hou Mansion, so you should take the Hou Mansion as your top priority. This is Are you acting out of emotion? Do you have the Hou Mansion in your heart? If you don’t have a view of the overall situation and can’t put the interests of the Hou Mansion first, you are not worthy of being the heir to the Hou Mansion!”

Xia Chixiao asked him steadily: "Father, for the sake of suppressing bandits, the purpose of suppressing bandits is to share the worries of the emperor. For private purposes, it can accumulate military merits. For the big one, it can give the Hou Mansion more bargaining chips. For the small one, it can allow the son to be on the edge of the tower. The camp has truly stood firm! What does father mean by failing to put the Hou Mansion first?"

Xia Haicheng: "..."

It seemed reasonable to hear this, but his face darkened: "You think I don't know that you are thinking about going to the north, and you just want to find someone? Stop making so many excuses to your father!"

Xia Chixiao said calmly: "Where did father hear about the missing person? The North Territory is vast. Does father think that his son will put aside official duties and use public affairs for personal gain?"

Xia Haicheng frowned, but I believed he wouldn't do this.However, he still warned: "You have sent someone to pick him up and waited for a long time, which is considered the end of your kindness. This means that the fate between you has ended. You don't need to take this matter to heart in the future!"

Xia Chixiao said nothing.

Xia Haicheng said again: "This time the Holy Emperor only sent three thousand troops. You won't be able to return to the capital within a year or two. How much can you do in two years? Do you think that if you are not in the Lengtai camp, even if you are successful in suppressing the bandits, you will be able to do it in the Lengtai camp?" Can the camp stand firm? Naive! A large camp has nearly 3000 people, and all you can control are those [-] people, which is less than one in ten!"

If you don't leave the capital, you can stay in the camp. In a year or two, you still have a chance to become the commander of the Lengtai Camp.He still has the nerve to say that the purpose of suppressing bandits is to gain a firm foothold in Lengtai Camp?

He used to only think that this son could achieve such military exploits, be bold, careful and promising, but who knew he could be so stupid?

Now I just hope that the emperor will not allow it.

Xia Chixiao didn't say anything. He could only bring 3000 people, but who said he only had 3000 people available?

But there is no need to let Xia Haicheng know this.

He is looking for someone, but not just looking for someone!

Amid the differing opinions of the courtiers, two days later, the imperial decree came down, asking him to rest for three days before leading his troops out of the capital.

The suppression of bandits should be carried out without delay, but some ministers in the court believe that the banditry exists not in a day or two, but even after the five cities were lost three years ago. They have been waiting for so many days, so there is no rush here. For a while.

The generals were angry, but they couldn't fight against those people's sharp words, but fortunately, the Qi Sheng Emperor had already issued an imperial edict, and this matter would not be changed again.

Xia Chixiao can choose the three thousand soldiers of Lengtai Camp. He has three days, which is enough for him to choose.

Because Xia Chixiao became famous in one battle, everyone in the military camp admired him. They knew that he had returned to Beijing to be rewarded for his true military achievements, and his martial arts was so good. Although he had only been here for a short time, he already had a small prestige.

It was not difficult to select 3000 people. Many people even brightened up when they heard about the bandit and wanted to follow him.The deputy commander is so strong and he came from the battlefield. To be designated is to perform meritorious service. It may take two or three years?What are you afraid of?Are they staying at Lengtai Camp?If there was no war, three to five years would be just training.

Who wouldn’t be happy to go away for two or three years and leave your companions behind when you come back?

The commander-in-chief and the commanders of each battalion were also very happy. Xia Chixiao was too young and thought he would get credit for suppressing the bandits. Those bandits in the north were not easy to deal with. Xia Chixiao had not yet established himself in the Lengtai camp, so he went to the north and waited for him. When you come back, you have to reintegrate. In the past two years, you don't have to see this young man who is young, good-looking, skilled, and has a high military rank, which makes people dislike him.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand from the commander-in-chief, Xia Chixiao made the choice on his own, and they did not ask questions or hold back.

Xia Chixiao asked people to sign up on their own and selected 500 people.

But after selecting, he made it clear to the people who were neatly lined up that all he wanted was 500. He marched in a hurry and would reach the destination in ten days. The [-] people who could not keep up with the team or were at the bottom of the team were eliminated and returned to the camp.

If you don't want to go, you can leave now!

And those watching from the sidelines, there are vacancies to fill!

It takes about 20 days to go from the suburbs of Beijing to the northern border. On this trip to suppress bandits, there are less than ten battalion officers and above who can ride horses. Those battalion soldiers have to rely on their legs, but the difference between 20 days and ten days is huge.Ten days of forced marching, almost more than 100 miles a day.

Lengtai Camp was the most diligent in training among the several camps, but it was not so intense.

But where is Lingtai Camp?The soldiers there are all old-fashioned, but they are also very brave and ruthless. If you quit at this time, wouldn't it mean that you are a coward?
No one back!

Those who heard that they had the opportunity to participate waited for a long time, cursed and left, all because they were slow to register and let those animals get ahead!
Xia Chixiao asked the 500 people to prepare first and set off in three days.

The atmosphere in the former Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites was very gloomy.

Shi Yucheng was suddenly grabbed by Taifu Ye to make a big fuss about something in the court. Taifu Ye, who was also a top scholar, was stunned into silence by just one word of etiquette from the Minister of Rites.

When the Minister of Rites discusses etiquette, he can't compare with the Taifu. The Taifu shakes his head and says, "You, the Minister of Rites, are in vain for your position. You are really not qualified!"

Then, he turned to the Qi Sheng Emperor: "Your Majesty, it seems that Mr. Shi has been somewhat lazy in learning, studying, thinking, and thinking in recent years. Although he is in a high position as a court official, he has no sense of crisis; the official is at the head of the Ministry of Rites. You are stuck on your own laurels and have made no achievements! If the courtiers are so unwilling to make progress, how can they share the emperor's worries?"

Emperor Qi Sheng glanced at Shi Yucheng and said, "What the Grand Tutor said makes sense, what should I do based on the Grand Tutor's opinion?"

Taifu Ye said seriously: "Your Excellency Mr. Liu, the right servant, is already very old. He has asked for help several times to return home. The Emperor is merciful, but if you don't grant it, Mr. Shi will not have a chance to look back and reflect on his own mistakes. Please let the emperor decide!”

"allow!"

With just one word from the emperor, Shi Yucheng was demoted from the chief officer to the right assistant minister before he even thought of defending himself.

He was puzzled.

There has always been no dispute between him and the Taifu, and the matters involved in the Ministry of Rites have no interest in the Taifu.Now that the position of Minister of Rites is vacant, Taifu Ye has not recommended anyone to take over. It is not to arrange his own people, so why deal with him?
