Chapter 54: Little emperor

The queen mother was stunned, and then her expression cooled down, and her gentle tone was somewhat harsh: "The emperor has given her gold jewelry, is it not enough?"
Li Jingnan replied: "General Fu requested a title for her, so that his status is enough to supervise the manufacture of weapons for the weapons supervision!"
Mentioning Fu Tingye, it became a bit colder, "Isn't it ridiculous for a woman to supervise military affairs? Fortunately, Prime Minister Zuocheng tried to dissuade him, so he didn't cause the emperor to cause a disaster! If the emperor really disregarded the court's dissuasion, he made his will." It will only make people in the world laugh! It will also give Ning Wang a chance!"
"However, Hua Qingxue's improved weapons have made great achievements. How can they be sent with the silver?" Li Jingnan was very angry. "Once the sword is cast, no fear of any weapon of the Liao soldiers! There is also the bow! Mother will know When such bows and arrows are taken to the battlefield, my generals will be desperate! The resumption of six states is just around the corner!"
That's why Li Jingnan was most indignant. "Hua Qingxue made such a great achievement, but he was questioned and questioned by the gang of mediocre people as a woman! These people...... One by one, they only care about their own enjoyment and happiness. I want to ask. What have they done for me?"
"The emperor is careful!" The queen mother suddenly shouted, not to ask Li Jingnan to say any more, "The emperor...how can such a blame for his courtier?"
Her face was stiff, apparently not afraid, looking at her young and impulsive son, deeply inhaled to calm down the mood, "...Is the emperor, Fu Tingye bewitched? In fact, those are just his words, this woman's name is Chinese How is the ability to make soldiers, yet to be verified, maybe someone else is in the middle? After all, women’s soldiering is unheard of, and the emperor must not forget..."
Li Jingnan looked at the queen mother.
The queen mother sighed and said, "The emperor must not forget how Fu Tingye forced you and my mother and son to promise him king."
Li Jingnan frowned at the words, of course he knew about it.
When he was about to arrive in Shengjing City, Fu Tingye told him very carefully that his father and emperor had died, and his uncle King Ning was planning to usurp the throne. There were only two paths before him-
Either escape immediately and leave the throne to uncle Ning Wang.
Either enter Beijing for a fight, Fu Tingye can save his life without worry.
But in this way, it is equivalent to Fu Tingye being an enemy of Ning Wang. Therefore, Fu Tingye asked Li Jingnan to be king immediately after he became king.
The king has a territory, and the territory has the right to hold soldiers.
Fu Tingye originally had high weight and nearly half of Daqi's military power. Now, with the addition of the fief, he can recruit his own private soldiers, which is equivalent to having the strength to compete with Ning Wang immediately.
It can be said that if Ning Wang did not remove Fu Tingye, it would be useless even if he sat in the emperor. He could be killed by Fu Tingye at any time. He could only get rid of Fu Tingye in order to reassure him as king.
Although Li Jingnan was young, he was born in the royal family and grew up as an heir. He naturally knew these curved roads, and he agreed to Fu Tingye's request without hesitation.
But for the Empress Dowager... Fu Tingye was a little suspicious.
The same news, Fu Tingye also brought to the queen at the time.
He knew that the prince was young and it was useless to persuade the prince. What's more important was to let the queen behind the prince agree with the forces of the outsiders.
The queen was immersed in the sorrow of the emperor's crash. The only child was in Fu Tingye's hands. There was no other choice at all. Although she agreed to Fu Tingye, she also hated Fu Tingye!
Li Jingnan always admired Fu Tingye, a soldier standing on the border, and since he was a child, he heard a lot of Fu Tingye’s deeds from the Emperor, so although he was forced to seal the other king, he was not as strong as the Empress Dowager. Conflicting psychology.
"General Fu has guarded our Daqi border for many years and has countless records. Feng Houfeng and Wang Feng are deserved of him. Moreover, the power of the ruling and opposition is now complex. With General Fu as a pinch, those who Ning Wang An inserted in the court can also converge. ."
Li Jingnan said, paused, frowned and said: "Moreover, Hua Qingxue is Hua Qingxue, General Fu is General Fu, and what his mother does is to do those things. Hua Qingxue has made great achievements and should be rewarded. "
The color of the back side sinks, "Isn't two thousand silver enough to reward?"
"Queen Mother!" Li Jingnan replied helplessly, "Those silver and silver are military pay! It is the money allocated to Daying to make new weapons! Hua Qingxue's reward is nothing more than jewelry and jade..."
The Empress Dowager said in a cold voice: "Why are you definitely not Fu Tingye's plan? Xu is the one who lied to us for the purpose of playing the treasury and collecting money for personal gain!"
"Why do you use such a reason? Has the weapon been improved? You will know it at a glance! And General Fu is not that kind of person..."
"The emperor knows what kind of person he is? Fu Tingye is a man with a wolf ambition. The emperor should never be deceived by him. Now that Ning Wang and him check and balance each other, we will have a corner of safety. If Ning Wang is gone, I am afraid that Fu Tingye will Immediately into the capital!"
"Children know that the uncle's rebellion hurt the mother, but Fu Tingye and the uncle are by no means a class."
"No one can resist the temptation of power." The Queen Mother was unimpressed and said somberly, "Even if it was a sibling brother, even a heroic general who had taken the lead, people would change."
There was a feeling of powerlessness in Li Jingnan's heart.
He wanted to say that Fu Tingye was not that kind of person, but as his mother said... People will change.
Wasn't the emperor Wenrun humble? A tiger escaped from the beast garden in the palace. In order to save him, the uncle almost died of his mouth, and his back was injured with blood on his back. Afterwards, he comforted him who was scared and cried, saying: The boy has no tears, Jing Nan has no trouble. it is good.
The emperor who treated him so well, but now, for that position, he will not hesitate to kill him...
Li Jingnan looked down at the porridge on the table and lost his appetite.
He stood up and whispered, "My mother, the son returned first."
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and wanted to keep a few words, only remembering Li Jingnan’s words that he didn’t know the heights of the earth. Go."
Li Jingnan's heart was full of astringency, and he could not tell what it was like.
He didn't even smile, and turned away with a wooden face.
Leaving this palace, he stood on the plain and flat floor tiles, vaguely aware of when he started, and every time he came here, he seemed to be disappointed...
...
Hua Qingxue is leaving the barracks.
Despite Liang Jianzuo's repeated emphasis, Hua Qingxue will return in the future, and still attracted many artisans to give away.
The outside of Qingzhou Camp was full of people, and some soldiers who were not practicing were also running to join in the fun.
"Chinese girl, don't forget our crossbow..."
"We still need the arrow of our camp! Can it be improved?"
"Hua Mai! And our Imperial Armor Battalion, can the chain mail's toughness be improved?"
"Don't forget our shield! How to improve resistance on the basis of reducing weight..."
Liang Wensheng roared--
"You guys! Is the improvement addictive?! All go back to work for me!"
Hua Qingxue covered her mouth and smiled.
"Go." Fu Tingye lifted the carriage curtain.
Sudden silence around...
None of these people knew that a general was sitting on the carriage.
Liang Wensheng glanced at them contemptuously, and said: Are you stupid now? ! Call you trouble!
Hua Qingxue gently waved at everyone, "I remember, but the improvement of weapons is not an overnight matter. This period of time has caused everyone to be affected. I will come to see you next time."
The atmosphere finally came to life!
A group of people began to talk and laugh again, but they were staring at the general, and naturally they did not dare to be as arrogant as they were just now. They said one by one: "The Chinese girl went smoothly."
Hua Qingxue got into the carriage.
Fu Tingye said in a deep voice: "These military weapons prisoners should be properly rectified. The improvement of weaponry is supposed to be their job. Now they are doing well, and we are all counting on you."
"Everyone is very diligent." Hua Qingxue opened his eyes and spoke for the craftsmen. "And I can only teach them at least in terms of thinking. In the end, the specific materials and production depend on them."
Fu Tingye glanced at her silently.
I don't know if it's an illusion, how does Hua Qingxue feel... he seems to be eating it? Like a child!
"What are you going to do after you go back?" Fu Tingye asked, withdrawing his gaze.
"Oh..." Hua Qingxue tilted his head for a moment, then extended his fingers and gestured slowly, "It should be cleaned first, if you haven't lived at home for a long time, you must have fallen a layer of soil, and then you have to buy Clothes, now that the weather is getting warmer, I can’t make clothes, I can only go to the street to buy ready-made clothes... I haven’t seen Auntie He in a long time, I want to see it, and I buy rice and oil..."
A lot of nagging said, all trivial things.
Fu Tingye actually listened very seriously.
"I asked Zhao Sheng to tune a few maids to do things for you." He could not help but frown, "If you just live in the General's Mansion, it won't be over, there is no such trouble!"
Hua Qingxue blushed and shook his head gently, "I'm really not used to it."
Fu Tingye was still sullen and dissatisfied.
His current state of affairs belongs to him, and he hopes that Hua Qingxue will bear his brand on his head to toe.
Hua Qingxue thought for a while and said softly, "And... I will make some soap out after going back this time. I have ordered a batch of molds and I should do it well. If the soap making is successful this time, it is very likely that I will even take it with me. With new weapons, I don’t like the people next to me when I do things, and it’s easy to get distracted and affect the success rate.
Fu Tingye heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "New weapons?"
Hua Qingxue saw his expression change, secretly sullenly deserved: it is indeed a general, chatting and drinking is not as good as chattering weapons to attract his attention.
"I just have some ideas now, yet to be verified." Hua Qingxue looked at his face and gently pulled Fu Tingye's clothes corner. "So, the general should never cram people into my residence, in case of a new weapon Is the experiment messed up?"
Fu Tingye pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision, "I let Zhao Sheng set two strong family members to guard the door for you, so as not to be disturbed when you are doing things."
Hua Qingxue: "..."
Was this her...self-defeating?
