Chapter 145, Jing'an Hou's Provocation
The emperor in the carriage suddenly felt the carriage shake.
The small bronze mirror in his hand almost fell out!
Eunuch Yu was so scared that his soul flew away. He hurriedly called for help, "Hurry up and protect the carriage! This damn Jing'an Hou actually wanted to assassinate His Majesty!"
Jing'an Hou: ???
Who?
His Majesty?
He was stunned for a long time before he raised his head stiffly and slowly looked at the person who got off the carriage.
The tall, majestic and serious emperor was looking at him with anger on his face!
The emperor's wrinkled face was wrinkled, and he let out a breath from his nostrils, "Damn it, you dare to kick me!"
He stepped forward quickly and kicked Jing'an Hou, who was forced to kneel, and sent him flying.
Jing'an Hou bumped into the stone lion again. He climbed up with his face pale with fear, and replied tremblingly,
"I didn't know it was you, I deserve to die! I am guilty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
He kowtowed continuously, making the floor clang. Even with
his forehead broken, he didn't dare to stop. It's over, it's over
, it's over.
If he couldn't afford to offend the Ninth Prince, then the Majesty in front of him could chop him to pieces if he was unhappy.
Their Xie family would die in his hands.
He kowtowed, and even if his blood was all over the floor, he didn't dare to stop begging for mercy!
"I am guilty, I am guilty!"
The emperor looked at him quietly. He had come out incognito today in high spirits, but why did he run into such an unlucky thing?
"I think you got confused in the battle. Who do you want to accuse?"
The emperor asked this, and Jing'anhou's eyes suddenly brightened.
He stopped kowtowing and said to the emperor, "I want to report the Ninth Prince. As a member of the royal family, he actually plotted against the abandoned wife of my Xie family. The people in the Liu residence are all spies arranged by the Ninth Prince."
"The Ninth Prince may want to forcefully marry Liu and then adopt Princess Ximing as his daughter! The mother and daughter may already be in there, being held under house arrest by the Ninth Prince's people!"
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has too much power, which will endanger your position. If you let him succeed and become Princess Ximing's father, then you..." As
Marquis Jing'an spoke, he found that the air suddenly became much quieter.
Others didn't even dare to breathe.
Eunuch Yu carefully looked at His Majesty's expression.
When he saw the smile slowly rising at the corners of His Majesty's mouth.
He closed his eyes, as if he had already figured out where to throw Jing'an Hou's body.
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha."
The emperor laughed three times in a row, and then asked,
"What about you, Jing'an Hou, what do you think?"
Jing'an Hou raised his eyebrows and kowtowed to show his loyalty, "Your Majesty, I swear to follow your majesty to the death!"
Haha, he was going to be promoted.
The deputy general Qian beside him took a few steps back with trembling legs.
His eyes were dull, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Hiss~ You said you want to follow me to the death, then I ask you, how many soldiers do you have now?"
The emperor raised one corner of his mouth, and the smile in his eyes made people feel creepy.
But Jing'an Hou thought that his majesty was testing his strength and whether he had the ability to compete with the Ninth Prince.
"Your Majesty, I have 10,000 soldiers stationed in the South City, and there are 3,000 elite soldiers in the capital. Even if they are not enough to compete with the Ninth Prince, they can still protect Your Majesty!"
Jing'an Hou replied happily.
"Oh, so you still have 13,000 soldiers in your hands, then you can pick two people to go!"
The emperor said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Jing'an Hou looked up in confusion, and turned to ask the deputy general beside him!
Lieutenant General Qian waved his hands hurriedly, "I don't know, I know nothing. Lord Marquis, please don't choose me because I have fought with you for many years!"
Another silent deputy general finally spoke at this time, "Lord Marquis, I am loyal to you. You are such a monster that you want me dead!"wωω.ξìйgyuTxt.иeΤFinally
, the two deputy generals stood far away, pointing at Marquis Jing'an and said in unison:
"We are just familiar strangers, not familiar with him!"
"We are just familiar strangers, not familiar with him!"
The two tacit voices issued at the same time made Marquis Jing'an confused.
The emperor chuckled, "It seems that you can't choose anyone. Since you are so loyal to me, then hand over the 13,000 soldiers in your hands to me. I will definitely protect myself! Haha!"
He stepped forward and knocked on the head of Marquis Jing'an.
Marquis Jing'an covered his head, his eyes full of shock!
Your Majesty wants to take away his military power?
How can you?
The military power was left to him by his father. This is the last hope of their Xie family.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!"
"Then what do you mean? Didn't you say that the Ninth Prince would rebel? Didn't you say that you would send troops to fight him? Wouldn't it be better if I took over these troops?"
"But..." He just wanted to make merit and didn't want to hand over his military power!
"But what? Are you not loyal to me? Are you trying to sow discord between me and the Ninth Prince?"
"No, no..."
Marquis Jing'an was so anxious that he danced with joy and explained in a mess. He was a rough man who had been living off the inheritance left by the old marquis until now he was bankrupt and only had this team of soldiers left!
"It's settled, but I won't take your soldiers for nothing. I will compensate you appropriately!"
The emperor said with a smile. He thought for a while and looked at Marquis Jing'an again.
Marquis Jing'an raised his head and asked hopefully, "What is the compensation?"
"I think you are old, and it is suitable for you to go home and enjoy your old age. In order to prevent you from being upset by the affairs of the court, I have decided to dismiss you from your post. What do you think? Am I considerate?"
Are you surprised? Are you surprised?
