Chapter 220 Argument 1
Chapter 220 Argument 1
"What!" Peng Qiongyu was shocked. Before he could react, the chamberlain had already finished reading the message, forced the edict to Li Xin and walked away.
"Wait! Stop!" Peng Qiongyu was anxious. He turned over and wanted to get on his horse to chase, but Li Xinran got up and stopped him.
"Brother!" Li Xinran grabbed Peng Qiongyu's horse bit, "The time has come, it's time to set off."
"Xinran!" Peng Qiongyu said anxiously, "You can't take my place!"
Realizing that his words were prone to ambiguity, Peng Qiongyu was so anxious that he broke into sweat: "I didn't mean that, I meant..."
"I know," Li Xinran looked at Peng Qiongyu with a smile, "You know my abilities, but others don't. I have been criticized for sitting on the scout leader as a woman, but my achievements are enough, and the rumors are not enthusiastic. , but if I sit in your position based on that little merit, you, me, my father, and the emperor's grandson will all be criticized, especially me. They are not afraid to speculate on me with the greatest malice. I will be criticized more than ever before. Questioning, and this time, no one could help me.”
"You know you still..." Before Peng Qiongyu could finish his worried words, he was interrupted softly by Li Xinran: "Brother," she looked at Peng Qiongyu, with flames burning in her eyes, "He is forcing you to go back, forcing you to refuse. , forcing you to return to the position of general, and then give up everything about Nanyi, blood, family, and the ancestral land that your great-grandmother should have owned, and all of this is your own choice."
Li Xinran looked at Peng Qiongyu. Only the two of them could hear her voice, but her voice was particularly firm: "But I am not a delicate and fragile lady in Kyoto. I am the son of the Li family. I will break through all the storms and protect my father. Guard the Li Mansion and wait for you to come back. I don’t need you to give up anything for me. I won’t bear the price of your giving up, and I won’t let you bear the price of your giving up! Go ahead, brother, practice for your great-grandmother. Good Gu, I beat Miao Aya!"
Peng Qiongyu's eyes gradually became firm. He slowly loosened the reins, then tightened his grip. He looked at Li Xinran, his eyes full of relief: "I won't let you and dad down! Xinran, wait for my good news!"
Li Xinran smiled with relief, took two steps back, and looked at Peng Qiongyu with bright eyes: "Brother, come on!"
Although Li Huanqing didn't know what Li Xinran and Peng Qiongyu said, looking at their appearance, he smiled happily, stroked his beard and said, "Qiongyu, be careful all the way."
Peng Qiongyu nodded: "I can do it, dad!" After saying that, he loosened the reins and turned around to help Priest Miao, who was standing aside, into the car.
As soon as the whip was fired, the convoy began to move forward slowly, and the sand and dust gradually blurred their vision.
Aya did not go with them, or in other words, only three of the five elders left with Priest Miao, while Elder Meng and Elder Zong stayed in Jinzhou City.
Elder Zong got the person in Aya's mouth, while Elder Meng was kept by Elder Zong.
Xu was concerned about Aya's duel with Peng Qiongyu later, and in order to prevent others from being accused of favoritism, Priest Miao acquiesced to Elder Meng's stay.
After receiving the news that Li Xinran had taken over Peng Qiongyu's position, Aya couldn't suppress the smile on her lips: "She actually wants to control the army as a woman? She really overestimates her capabilities. A woman can take care of her husband and raise her children at home. A way out.”
Elder Meng frowned and looked at each other with Elder Zong, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
Nanyi people do not have the idea that women are inherently weak. In Nanyi, it is more like in primitive society, where weakness is the original sin, not gender.
Ayade's thoughts are incomprehensible to the concepts of Elder Meng and Elder Zong.Likewise, they did not understand the same surging opposition as Aya.
"The grandson of the emperor! Si Chen! The country is in serious trouble!"
"Your Majesty! Never leave the political situation in the hands of a woman!"
"Grandson of the Emperor! This is a sign of the destruction of the country! The war opportunity was delayed because of a woman, and now a woman is asked to take charge of the war. There is no hope for our country to recover!"
Facing the fierce opposition from the ministers, Xiao Yinchu was extraordinarily calm: "As a king, you must not listen to partial beliefs. Li Xinran, tell me, are you worthy of the position of General of the Eastern Conquest?"
Xiao Yinchu's move was very ruthless. He put himself on the chess board and forced the Li family to use their reputation as a bet to help him win this big game.
Everyone's eyes turned to the only unique scene in the court today - Li Xinran standing where Peng Qiongyu was, with no fear on his face.
Li Xinran understood Xiao Yinchu's plan, but Li Xinran had to bite the bullet and help Xiao Yinchu finish the game and win.
Li Xinran walked out of the queue slowly, with no fear on his face, and calmly received the strange looks from all directions.
"Go back to Your Majesty the Emperor, I can afford it!"
"What a loud tone!" Mr. Wang, who was nearly fifty years old, sneered, his carefully groomed beard twitching, "You are just a woman who is just a husband and a child. Standing in the court and saying frankly that you can afford this The position of general in the Eastern Expedition is really that the ignorant are fearless.”
Li Xinran looked at Xiao Yinchu, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I would like to argue with Mr. Wang."
"Arguing with you? It's an insult to politeness!" Mr. Wang waved his sleeves, his face full of arrogance.
"It's reasonable, I don't understand. I hope that the emperor will allow me to argue with Mr. Wang." Li Xinran's firm words resounded in the high hall, while Xiao Yinchu sat in a high position, facing the light, and said nothing.
The hall became extremely quiet for a moment, so quiet that you could hear your breathing.
Li Xinran remained motionless in this silence, while the contemptuous smile on Mr. Wang's face grew bigger and bigger.Just when he thought that Li Xinran's demanding argument had annoyed Xiao Yinchu, he suddenly heard a deep but emotionless "quasi" in his ears.
The smile on Mr. Wang's face froze. He suspected that he heard wrongly. Subconsciously, he made a disrespectful gesture and looked to the left and right. When he and the left and right looked at each other, the doubts in each other's eyes made them both Make sure you heard correctly.
"Emperor's grandson! This is so ridiculous! Women should not be in the palace, and now you ask me to argue with her? A woman from the border area! I don't even know how many people I know! Imperial grandson! You are humiliating me!" Master Wang stood up angrily. He didn't want to argue with a woman like Li Xinran. If he won, he would be accused of bullying a weak woman, which was embarrassing. If he lost, it would be even more embarrassing. He would be accused of being inferior to a weak woman. How could he survive in the future? Go down.
"I'm illiterate, how can I understand the art of war? I'm illiterate, so how can I boldly say that I can shoulder the responsibility? I'm afraid Mr. Wang is afraid?"
Lord Wang snorted arrogantly and disdained to answer.
At this time, a voice sounded: "I would like to argue with Commander Li."
