Chapter 366: The dispute between the monarch and his ministers
Chapter 366 Dispute between monarch and subject
In the Chengming Hall, the ministers with their own thoughts lowered their heads and dared not ask any more questions.
Because the atmosphere between the emperor and General Ruan, who was holding hands and looking at tears just now, suddenly changed.
Just because...the emperor made a decree.
It is said that they want to take over the military power of Ruan Ye, the general who protects the country, and let him recuperate in the capital.
Of course, not all the military power of the Ruan family has been taken over. Only Ruan Ye and Mu Fei are staying in the capital. Ruan Lingjun, the only son of the Ruan family, will replace Ruan Ye and is ready for orders at any time.
This kind of will makes some people's minds more active.
Confiscate military power? Could it be... the emperor really began to fear the Ruan family? !
But if you are afraid...then why...you want Ruan Lingjun to inherit his father's career...
And this is always on call... What exactly does it refer to... Does Ruan Lingjun still have military power...
"Your Majesty, forgive me for not obeying my orders!" Ruan Ye said with a sullen expression.
"You want to resist the decree?" The emperor's face gradually became gloomy.
The others held their breath, wishing they were not here.
Those who have other small thoughts, dare not say those words that add fuel to the fire at this time.
After all...Gu Shoufu was still watching eagerly from the side.
The confrontation between the emperor and General Ruan did not seem to affect him at all.
At this time, after the emperor finished asking, Ruan Ye did not answer again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse and worse, Gu Changan finally coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we discuss this matter in private, after all, General Ruan just returned to Beijing today."
For some reason, after hearing Gu Changan's words, the emperor waved his hands and said, "Forget it, all the loves, go back first. Ruan Ye, stay here."
After hearing this, the others saluted with relief and stepped back.
When only the Ruan family, Gu Changan, and the emperor were left in Chengming Hall, the emperor finally snorted coldly and said, "Ruan Ye, don't discriminate between good and evil!"
Ruan Youqing was sweating at first, thinking about how to persuade, but Ruan Ye snorted back and said without any fear: "What the emperor is thinking, the general is very clear!"
"Oh? Tell me what I'm thinking!" The emperor stared at Ruan Ye with wide eyes.
Mu Fei, who had been silent in front of all the officials, opened his mouth at this moment: "Your Majesty, if you just want to see Ah Ye every day for your own sake, you can just say it. Why do you have to say such grandiose words as letting him stay in the capital to recuperate? You You know, the few words you said just now will make some people with ulterior motives think a lot."
Hearing Mu Fei speak, the emperor, who was about to argue with Ruan Ye just now, took a few steps back unnaturally, and his voice was a little softer than before: "Why...you...do you care about what others think?"
"I don't care about it." Mu Fei raised his eyebrows and said.
The emperor snorted again before continuing: "I kindly let your family reunite in the capital and provide you with delicious food and drink, but you still don't appreciate it?"
When Mu Fei wanted to speak again, Ruan Ye took her hand and squeezed it gently.
Mu Fei, who was a bit aggressive just now, glanced at Ruan Ye, stopped talking and stood back.
Ruan Ye finally spoke seriously:
"Your Majesty, I know that you don't want us to get together less often, and our family members to worry about it all day long. But Ruan Ye, as a great general protecting the country, how could he leave the safety of the people behind and covet his own happiness. In the end... really can't do it."
The emperor looked at Ruan Ye with scorching eyes, and seeing that he was serious, he finally sighed softly: "Forget it, a dog biting Lu Dongbin doesn't know a good heart. If you want to fight, go for it. If it's true one day... "
The emperor originally wanted to say that he died on the battlefield, but don’t want me to cry because of hypocrisy...
As a result, he couldn't even say the word dead.
Perhaps because of Li Yi's rebellion, the emperor often suffers from nightmares these days.
Dreamed that all the people around him betrayed him, dragged him down from the throne, and tried every means to humiliate and torture him.
When he woke up, he was not more suspicious than those other monarchs. On the contrary, it made him cherish all those who are still by his side, assisting him, and accompanying him.
The Jie tribe surrendered and became a vassal state of Ning State, and other countries also handed over the truce.
With fewer wars, he just wanted to keep his old friends by his side more.
Finally, the expression on Ruan Ye's face eased a little, and he said in an unnatural tone:
"It's not impossible for the general to stay in the capital all the time, but if an enemy comes, he must be sent to the battlefield. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the safety of his family and the country on Lingjun."
When Ruan Lingjun, who was named, wanted to speak up and say that he could, Ruan Youqing, who had been quiet all along, pulled his sleeves back in time, signaling him not to speak at this time.
Ruan Lingjun could only reluctantly shut his mouth.
The emperor curled his lips after hearing this: "Okay, I reluctantly agree. Hmm...do you want to stay in the palace for dinner tonight?"
Ruan Ye corrected his expression and said: "Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness, but my father is still waiting for us in the mansion. So..."
"Go, go, reunite your family, a group of heartless people."
Ruan Ye laughed a few times before preparing to say goodbye and leave.
In the end, the emperor turned his body sideways, looked at Ruan Youqing and said slowly, "Wait a minute, I still have a few words to ask... our Mrs. Chief Assistant."
Ruan Youqing, who didn't realize that Mrs. Shoufu was called her, looked a little silly when she looked at the emperor's eyes in a daze.
Gu Changan embraced Ruan Youqing's shoulder at this time, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Chang An's little wife is timid, Your Majesty, please don't scare her."
"Timid?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and continued to look at Ruan Youqing, and then said leisurely: "A timid person can go to the mysterious Guz country alone, and even have the ability to compete with the new ruler of Guz country. Good friends. I'm timid...you can... go to battle with the Ruan family to kill the enemy? I vaguely remember...there seems to be rumors in Beijing...this girl is delicate and weak."
There was no emotion in the emperor's tone, but the more it was like this, the more serious the expressions of everyone present were.
When Ruan Youqing was in Beijing, he had always claimed to be weak and sick, so he seldom left the house.
But nowadays...
Gu Chang'an smiled lowly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Youqing is indeed delicate and weak, but this does not contradict her ability to fight the enemy at all. Moreover, she is delicate and weak and can hold on Going into battle to kill the enemy, doesn't this represent the Ruan family's spirit of dedicating everything to Ningguo wholeheartedly. Your Majesty, are you... planning to reward something?"
Ruan Youqing held back the corners of her lips that were slightly raised, and then stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Youqing is really not in good health. But as the Ruan family, it is impossible for her to be incapable at all. So...Youqing Although his body is weak, he can still hold out against the enemy for a while."
At this time, the emperor had already sat back on the throne, and said with a smile:
"Look at you all looking like you are facing a big enemy. I didn't say that I want to ask for guilt. You don't have to explain so much. When I asked, I actually wanted to ask... I intend to accept her as a righteous daughter. Do you agree, Ruan Youqing?"
