Chapter 308: I Will Follow the General Until Death
Xiao Ning didn't want to talk to Shang Xi anymore.
She tied her hair up casually and turned to leave the room.
Shang Xi saw her leave and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Ning said, "Don't you want to return to Shengjing as soon as possible? I'll make the arrangements."
Shang Xi said "Oh" and couldn't help but ask again: "Do you really want to be the emperor yourself?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
Shang Xi: "If you become the emperor, will you still be with me?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She looked at Shang Xi deeply, then turned and left the room.
Shang Xi thought that it was his words that made Xiao Ning unhappy. He pursed his lips and felt a little lonely.
It was obvious that Xiao Ning had even wanted to imprison him, the "descendant of the previous emperor", in order to support the empress.
Now that he has compromised, she says she will not establish an empress anymore and wants to be the emperor herself.
She was always playing tricks on him.
Can't he be angry anymore?
Shang Xi sat on the edge of the bed, sullenly rolled up the pillow and threw it on the bed.
The image of Xiao Ning looking at him with his hair loose just now flashed through his mind, and a thought flashed through his mind. Shang Xi was stunned for a moment by his own thought, then laughed and shook his head.
He is really crazy. How could he have such a ridiculous idea?
A heroic and brave man like Aning...
Forget it, if Aning wants to be the emperor, then he can be the emperor. He doesn’t want the stars in the sky.
He believed that Aning would be a good emperor.
And he...
How will Aning arrange him?
Be her canary, her bird in a cage?
Well, it’s not impossible.
Wherever she is is home, and he is willing to be her canary, her bird in a cage.
Anyway, Aning is impotent, so there is no need to worry about her taking a concubine. When the time comes, they can secretly adopt a few children. She will be busy with state affairs, and he will take care of the husband and children.
Days like this...
Shang Xi felt particularly at ease just thinking about it.
They can eat together, sleep together and take walks together every day.
…
Xiao Ning came all the way to the camp.
The soldiers had just set up camp and were sitting in groups of three or four, chatting and resting.
Seeing Xiao Ning coming, they all greeted him with a smile.
"General, why are you here at this hour? I thought you would come later."
After all, that prince was so clingy just now outside the city...
I thought the general would have some affection with that prince after the welcoming banquet, but I didn't expect...
Their general is a man who can do great things.
Not at all tempted by male beauty.
Xiao Ning had no idea what the soldiers were thinking.
She smiled at everyone and said, "I have something important to discuss. Generals, please gather in Li Yuan's tent."
"yes!"
When Xiao Ning arrived at Li Yuan's tent, Li Yuan was mending his clothes.
Seeing Xiao Ning, Li Yuan quickly put down his needle and thread, clasped his fists towards Xiao Ning and said, "General!"
Xiao Ning patted his shoulder and smiled, signaling him not to be polite.
"I never knew General Li had this skill."
As Xiao Ning spoke, he picked up the half-sewn clothes on the table. The stitches were very fine, showing that he was an old hand.
Li Yuan's face flushed, and he was rarely embarrassed: "General, please don't make fun of me."
Xiao Ning: "Who is making fun of you? I am praising you. Anyone who can marry someone like you will definitely enjoy great happiness."
Li Yuan: "...General, you are too kind."
Xiao Ning: "How can you be so humble in front of me?"
Li Yuan: “…”
Xiao Ning really thinks Li Yuan is a good person.
He is smart, active, handsome, respectful, and can do some sewing and mending.
He is a rare good man in this era.
Li Yuan put away his half-mended clothes and asked about the business: "General, you are here to see me, but what can I do for you?"
Xiao Ning gestured for Li Yuan to sit down and talk.
After Li Yuan sat down, Xiao Ning revealed the secrets of Shang Xi and Shen Zhiyi's life experiences.
Li Yuan's brain almost crashed after hearing this.
Who is whose son???
How could Shen Zhiyi be the son of the late emperor?
That Prime Minister Shen was too cruel, sending his own son to the palace to be raised as a princess...
"So, I decided to attack Shengjing first. Otherwise, if Shen Zhiyi ascends the throne, with his understanding of us, even if he can't defeat us, he will definitely be able to severely injure us."
Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this.
He knew exactly what Xiao Ning was going to do when he returned. As long as he succeeded, it would be a great achievement for him. Logically, he should be promoted to a higher position, be granted a title of nobility, or be made a prime minister...
However, based on Li Yuan's understanding of Xiao Ning, she would not be granted a title or a nobility.
After all, conferring titles and noble ranks will only expand the family, but there is no guarantee that new aristocratic families will not emerge in a few years.
She wants to break up the aristocratic families, make all people in the world equal, and let women have the power to compete.
How could we allow this possibility to happen?
But this is good.
Everyone has the opportunity to strive for excellence and compete fairly.
Common people like him will also have the opportunity to stand in the court and on the battlefield, to be loyal to the country and share the worries of the king.
"General, I will immediately go and integrate the troops!"
Li Yuan said this and was about to stand up.
Xiao Ning held him down and said, "Sit down first. I have summoned the generals to discuss matters. Let everyone rest today. It won't be too late to reorganize the troops tomorrow."
Li Yuan responded.
Not long after, the generals came one after another.
Xiao Ning gestured for everyone to sit down.
"Generals, you have followed me for over three years. I believe you all know what I want to do."
When Xiao Ning said this, the generals became slightly excited.
After following Xiao Ning for so many years, they naturally guessed what Xiao Ning wanted to do.
so……
Is the general going to confront them?
There are many aristocratic families in Dayong, and important official positions are controlled by them. Even if they fight desperately to quell the rebellion and wipe out the Huns, they may not be rewarded after returning to the court.
But if their general ascends the throne, it will be a different story.
What is the merit of following the dragon?
They are the founding fathers!
There is no need to say more about its value!
The generals looked at Xiao Ning with sharp eyes.
Xu Chong scratched his head, not understanding what Xiao Ning was talking about, but seeing that everyone looked so interested, he felt embarrassed to ask more questions, otherwise he would look stupid.
He glanced at Li Yuan, thinking of asking Li Yuan after he was done.
The generals knelt and declared: "We are willing to follow you until death!"
Seeing this, Xu Chong also knelt down to express his stance.
Although he didn't know what they were talking about, Xu Chong was determined to follow Xiao Ning until death, just as much as anyone else.
"Everyone, get up first."
Xiao Ning said.
"Thank you, General!"
Everyone clasped their fists and bowed before standing up, their attitude becoming even more respectful.
Seeing the generals sitting down, Xiao Ning said, "Before that, I have to confess something to you."
"What's the matter, General? Just tell me!"
Li Yuan knew what Xiao Ning was going to say almost immediately.
He opened his mouth to stop Xiao Ning, but she had already taken off the headband on her head.
Three thousand strands of black hair instantly fell down and draped over her shoulders.
Li Yuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He looked at the generals present.
Observing their expressions, if anyone showed an inappropriate expression, Li Yuan would not let him leave the camp today.
