The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 433: Some People Are Happy And Others Are Worrying (1)
The imperial court sent troops to suppress the chaos and lost the battle, and even killed young and promising generals who had made meritorious service long ago. All the civil and military officials fell silent.

Emperor Mingde looked at his fourth son.

King Shou noticed his father's gaze, but he no longer had the courage to volunteer.He is very clear about the skills of Ding Wang Chengyu and the two of them. They were all defeated, and he will probably end up in continued defeat in the future. He knows that he will be ridiculed if he fails to make a contribution. Of course, he will not mention it again.

Emperor Mingde looked away in disappointment.It doesn't matter if the sons fight in secret, but they don't even have the courage to face the enemy. How can he trust the country to such a useless son?

Thinking of the silent and heroic nephew who died a long time ago, Emperor Mingde glanced at the courtiers below, and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Yu died in battle, who is willing to go out?"

Military generals, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't make a sound.If it is a land battle, there is still some chance of winning, but in the sea battle, the enemy is still the Hu family of Dongping King, who is known as the overlord of the sea. Unless the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, no one will take the initiative to die or lose.

All of them are full of wine and food, and when they are not needed, they all blow themselves up to the sky, and if something happens, they will become cowards.Emperor Mingde was so angry that he breathed heavily, and finally looked at his confidant general, "Chu Qing, what do you think?"

Chu Qing was still reading the battle report in his hand.

He didn't believe that his son-in-law died so easily, and he didn't believe that he was willing to die. He usually tried every means to rob him of his daughter and grandson. How could he be willing to die?
Emperor Mingde yelled again, Chu Qing regained his senses, and just about to look up, his eyes suddenly fell on the two words side by side.Chu Qing's heart tightened, and he looked up and down the two lines of vertical characters again, and found that some words were dispensable and not suitable to appear in this kind of emergency battle report, and King Ding would not fail to write even the battle report, so he became more and more sure own guess.

Looking at the last paragraph asking the court to send a strong general, Chu Qing slowly closed the battle report, raised his head to face the already sullen emperor, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend."

Emperor Mingde and all the ministers looked at him, and King Shou was even more vigilant secretly. Could it be that Chu Qing wanted to take this opportunity to promote him again?Chu Qing is usually arrogant and arrogant, and he is not keen on military power. He obediently surrenders every time after a battle, but when he encounters a war, he seems to have a cornpot in his hand. As long as the court employs people, he Can send generals.In this way, Chu Qing's cronies are getting more and more, and his prestige in the military camps in various places has always remained high. For the generals, the prestige in the army is sometimes more effective than the tiger charm.

Facing everyone's mixed gazes, Chu Qing deliberately paused before raising his voice: "Old General Lu's eldest grandson, Lu Qi, can memorize the art of war at the age of ten, and he knows all the land battles, sea battles and lake battles from ancient times to the present, so I believe that Lu Qi will be able to take on this important task and lead the army to turn defeat into victory."

His voice was loud, but Emperor Mingde frowned first.

Then Lu Qi is simply the Zhao Kuo of this dynasty, he can only talk on paper, what about Chu Qing?

Emperor Ming De stared at him puzzled.

Chu Qing sent the battle report over with his own hands, got close, and quietly blinked at Emperor Mingde. It was really old-fashioned for a man in his forties to do this kind of action. Unconsciously relaxed.

Knowing that Chu Qing was not a fool, Emperor Ming De pondered for a moment and nodded, asking the officials for their opinions.

The ministers will not say what they think at the moment.Chu Qing was the first to recommend Lu Qi, and if they followed suit, Lu Qi won. Emperor Ming De praised Chu Qing first, and they would not get much reward. They also have to be blamed, it's better to let Chu Qing take care of everything.

There was no objection, and the matter was settled.

After the dynasty was over, Emperor Mingde summoned Chu Qing alone in the Chongzheng Hall, "Why do you recommend Lu Qi? Don't tell me that you really believe in his three-inch tongue."

Chu Qing smiled without saying a word, took the battle report, walked to Emperor Ming De and unfolded it, pointing with his index finger to the word "defrauding the enemy" on it to show him.

Emperor Mingde lowered his head, looked carefully at the battle report, turned the corner, smiled silently, and asked in confusion: "What are these two brothers trying to do?"

Chu Qing had a vague guess. He turned his head to look at the map hanging next to him, and fixed his eyes on Penghu Island opposite Fujian, "Your Majesty, Huaibi and Wang Ye divided their troops into two groups to encircle and suppress the rebels. King Dongping paid equal attention to it. They have sent heavy troops to defend. Now that Huai Bi is pretending to die, they will not lack soldiers to lead the army. The old ministers boldly infer that the prince and the others need a well-known incompetent pretense. At that time, Lu Qi will lead a team of soldiers. After hearing about it, King Dongping We must underestimate the enemy and focus on the prince's side, while Huai Bi secretly hides behind Lu Qi to command, and if he is caught off guard, it is very likely to break through the defense line on the Penghu side."

Emperor Mingde felt that this speculation was very reasonable, nodded in agreement, patted Chu Qing on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are as careful as a hair, otherwise I would have almost failed the trust of the two juniors."

Chu Qing skillfully explained for him: "The emperor is worried about state affairs and thinks a lot, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. The minister is also saddened by Huai Bi's death and only read it a few times. That brat is still not safe, and he should give more. clues."
