Chapter 121 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (28)
This was said without any concealment, "What if I want to leave?"
"Heh." Mu Hanqing sneered, "Acuo, you have to know that unless I send you away, if you dare to run away, I will break your legs.
Then I will lock you up in a small room at the deepest part of the prison. There is no light and it is extremely quiet. You are the only one there. I have a bad temper and I usually use violence to make those disobedient toys obey me. "
Looking at his slightly crazy smile, Tangcuo had no doubt about the truthfulness of his words.
"What? Do you want to leave here now?"
"No, no, it's so nice here, I won't leave." Tang Cuo shook his head quickly.
"That's good. Be my man and I won't treat you unfairly." After he finished speaking, he stood up and pecked Tang Cuo's lips gently. "You should rest first. I still have things to deal with. I will come to see you when I have time."
Tang Cuo looked at his departing back, and his heart finally relaxed a little. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Xiao Ye, he is too scary..."
[A madman will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, so for the sake of the host's safety, you should just go along with him. If that doesn't work, will Xiaoye arrange for you to run away?]
"Xiao Ye, if I run away directly, will it have any impact on your performance?" Tang Cuo was a little worried.
[Wow, I am so touched. Even after all this, the host still hasn't forgotten my performance. Please rest assured, host, after all, I have been in the system circle for a few years and will not be easily eliminated.]
"That's good, otherwise I would really be guilty." Tang Cuo raised his hand and stroked his chest.
He lay quietly on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking about.
In the following days, Mu Hanqing seldom appeared in front of Tang Cuo. It seemed that he was really busy. But this was not bad either, as it allowed Tang Cuo to have a few days of leisure.
On the other side, in the residence of the Left Prime Minister, Xiao Chengyu looked at the envelope on the table, his brows unconsciously frowned. After a moment, he tore the envelope into pieces and threw it into the candlelight beside him.
Then he slapped the table hard, "Mu Hanqing, no wonder you handed over the military power so easily, so this is your idea?"
As he said this, he turned his gaze to Cheng Feng who was standing beside him, "Is there any other news from the court recently?"
"The criminals of the previous dynasty have made a comeback and have begun to cause unrest in the city. Your Majesty is sending people to stop it." Chengfeng answered truthfully.
"As for the general who fled from the previous dynasty, I don't know when he arrived at the Libei Dynasty thousands of miles away, and he has already discussed cooperation with them. I'm afraid he will send troops to our Rong Dynasty..."
Hearing his words, Xiao Chengyu curled his fingers together.
The scene changed, and the powerful official who came to report was kneeling respectfully in the hall, with his hands on the ground, "Your Majesty, the Libei Dynasty is coming with such force this time, it seems that this war is inevitable. Not only that, the general of the Puyang Dynasty seems to have joined in..."
"What should I do?"
"Why is there going to be a war?"
The ministers looked at each other and the sound of discussion continued.
"My dear ministers, what do you think we should do?" The little emperor's eyes were dark. Perhaps it was because of this matter that he hadn't slept well for several days.
"I think we should take the initiative and kill their fighting spirit." The Minister of Rites spoke first.
"I second the motion. We must not allow these traitors to be so arrogant."
"Yeah yeah……"
"That's right, we should beat them until they retreat."
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, the little emperor nodded and said, "In this case, I wonder which of you is willing to take the lead and make great contributions to our Rong Dynasty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became silent, and everyone lowered their heads at the same time.
"What? Why don't you speak, my dear ministers?" Looking at the cowardly looks of the people below, the little emperor's face suddenly darkened. "Is there no loyal and righteous people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for our Rong Dynasty?" His tone became a little heavier.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Seeing that he was really angry, several ministers knelt on the ground.
"I came to you today to discuss countermeasures, not to ask you to calm His Majesty down. Among all the civil and military officials in my court, not one is capable of leading a war?"
"Your Majesty, I do have a suitable candidate."
"explain."
"Prince Rong'an followed the late emperor into battle when he was a teenager. He was brave and good at fighting. Everywhere he went surrendered. He led the army to battle for many years without ever being defeated. I believe that Prince Rong'an is the most suitable candidate."
"Yes, I second the proposal. What the Imperial Censor said is quite right. Prince Rong'an has lived in the army for many years. Everyone in the army obeys his orders. If he can lead the army in person, he will surely defeat the enemy..."
"Yes, yes, Prince Rong'an is indeed the most suitable."
"Now that I think of it, it seems like I haven't seen Prince Rong'an attend the morning court for a long time..."
"Uncle Wang has been feeling unwell recently. I have approved his recuperation at home." The little emperor looked at everyone, his face darkening. "I will consider this matter. Please adjourn the court for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little emperor left the hall first and returned to his imperial study. He sat on the dragon throne, and then swept everything on the table in front of him to the ground.
"In this huge dynasty, there is no one available except King Rong'an? What use do I have for them?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Eunuch Li bowed and tried to comfort him.
"Eunuch Li, I remember there were twelve brave generals in the army. Is there not one of them capable of leading the army into battle?" The little emperor suddenly remembered this.
"Well... Your Majesty, ever since Prince Rong'an claimed to be ill and had to rest, the twelve men also fell ill and went home to recuperate. They have not yet resumed their duties."
"This is simply outrageous!" The little emperor gasped violently.
"Your Majesty, I know that you are dissatisfied, but now is the time to use people. Why don't you return the military power to Prince Rong'an temporarily? After he defeats the enemy, Your Majesty can replace the people in the army with your own people, and then find a chance to take back the military power?" Eunuch Li looked at the little emperor with a sincere tone.
"It seems that this is the only way." The little emperor took a deep breath, "Eunuch Li, please convey my order to summon Prince Rong'an to the palace. I want to talk to him in person."
"Yes, I'll go right away." As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Li hurriedly left the imperial study and headed for Prince Rong'an's Mansion.
On the other side, Mu Hanqing sat under the locust tree in the courtyard, quietly listening to Rong Cuo's report on the news of the past few days, "Your Majesty. It seems that it won't be long before His Majesty will return the military power to you."
"Heh." Mu Hanqing chuckled, "Rongcuo, pass on my order. Tell them that I'm recuperating recently and can't see any guests. Send them away."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Hearing his order, Rong Cuo nodded, then turned and left the main courtyard.
