Chapter 236 Princess Xuan Chaoqi

"Back then, Princess Xuan Chaoqi did the same thing, spending all her wealth to recruit soldiers and buy horses."

"From a few hundred men at first, he eventually commanded 70,000 troops."

"As a woman, I helped my father build half of the country."

Bei Jingchu was of course familiar with the story of the elders founding the country.

"So this woman who proclaimed herself emperor and started a rebellion should not be underestimated, just like my great-aunt who died young."

However, this time, Bei Jingchu discovered a problem: [Since my great-aunt is so brave and heroic, she is also a great heroine. ]

[Why did Dai Viet disappear after it was pacified? ]

【Is it because of poor health? 】

After hearing his daughter's thoughts, Bei Heng recalled his aunt in his memory.

She died young, not old enough to have a relapse.

But she was in a bad mood, like a female eagle with broken wings, trapped in a bird cage woven with gold and carved with jade.

He looked at the sky in panic, which was out of reach, and never went out until his death.

She has been feeling depressed.

Bei Heng suddenly figured something out.

But he didn't understand his father's behavior.

Dai Viet later on did have a lot of talented people, unlike when the country was founded and there was no one available to use so that their sisters could go into battle.

But why put a beast that already knows how to hunt back into the yard?

What a waste!

Is it possible that a good general would be wasted just because of the gossip of those ministers and worldly people?

No, the Vietnamese dynasty has so many talented people that it can’t accommodate them all, so you’re just doing this?

Do you know that your son is eager to learn from you?

For a good horse, it doesn’t matter whether it is a bull or a cow, as long as it can plow the land, isn’t that enough?

You have such a useful ox or horse, why are you just leaving it unused?

Bei Heng frowned.

It seemed that the late emperor's fairly heroic image had eroded a little in his heart.

I still remember that my aunt was buried with military honors that day, and many people sang praises to her for her honor.

But this is what she deserves.

For a person who made great contributions to the founding of Dai Viet, being buried with military ceremony is actually considered a special honor?

When the emperor came to his senses, he suddenly felt that he no longer recognized this world.

Is it the world that is crazy, or is it him?

Not noticing that Aye was doubting his life, Bei Jingchu concluded: "It is undeniable that General Lei's command ability is the strongest when it comes to leading troops."

"Now that the battle in Tunning has just ended, we can only trouble him to make another trip."

For Bei Heng, it would not be a problem for any of the generals in the court to be the commander-in-chief.

But the little bastard had her own considerations, and as Aye, of course she satisfied her.

After receiving the decree, Bei Jingchu hid her smile under the mask and suppressed her excitement as she went to the Princess Palace to find Lei Nian'er.

"Nian'er, listen to me."

"General Lei is the commander-in-chief. He is qualified to bring his family with him."

"This time you ask him to take you."

"When you get there, how you perform depends on whether you can seize the opportunity."

"But remember not to rush into anything. We are already doing something that goes against the will of the world. If we don't succeed the first time and cause trouble instead, there will be no second chance."

The hand she was holding, which was a size larger than hers, was sweating slightly.

Nian'er must be very nervous.

She reassured herself: "Every time we learn the art of war, you are the first one to master it thoroughly."

"Don't worry, don't worry. At worst, you might miss this opportunity. It's nothing serious."

Lei Nian'er held her fingertips tightly and whispered, "I will not let the opportunity that Your Highness has fought for me go to waste."

Bei Jingchu felt a little soft in her heart.

Lei Nian'er continued, "Since we were born, Da Yue has only fought these two battles."

"It's hard to encounter a next time, and it's better not to have a next time."

"Even if there is a next time, with so many generals in the court, it is impossible for them to send my father three times in a row."

Nian'er is much older than her, actually only thirteen years old.

Unlike her, she was a real child.

Although she was in the Yue Dynasty, she was already preparing to get married.

But Bei Jingchu always felt that she was just a child.

"Actually, I'm only eight years old."

"We still have a long time, and this may not be the only chance."

“You don’t have to put too much pressure on yourself.”

Lei Nian'er agreed, but it was not known whether she listened to him or not.

But unexpectedly, the first step of the plan could not be carried out.

After she made this request, her mother strongly opposed it: "Why are you following your father to the battlefield?"

"That place changes rapidly and one could die at any time."

"Your father must devote himself to the Great Viet, regardless of life or death. Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Do you think that's a fun place?"

"Nian'er, you are about to get married, so please be more sensible, okay?"

Madam Gui stood up excitedly, and Lei Ning carefully helped her up: "Madam, be careful with the baby, you are still pregnant!"

Lei Ning attached particular importance to this fetus because the doctor diagnosed that it was probably a boy.

Lei Ning, who had a son in his old age, treasured him very much, so naturally he stood on Mrs. Gui's side, although he had a casual attitude to begin with.

"Nian'er, the front line is indeed dangerous. Your mother only has you as her daughter, so don't let her worry."

"Now you don't have to go to school anymore. You can just stay at home and do your accounting and embroidery while you wait for your brother to be born. Then you can take care of him. Isn't that good?"

"Don't wait until then. What if something happens to you and your mother gets pregnant?"

Lei Nian'er didn't know how to refute him. She was confused by all the arguments and could only mutter, "I want to go."

"Mom remembers that you were very sensible when you were little, why do you become so willful now that you've grown up?"

Lei Nian'er was stubborn and didn't say anything. Seeing that Madam Gui was furious, Lei Ning was panicking and came up with a bad idea: "Nian'er, look at how angry you made your mother."

"If you continue to behave like this, I will punish you according to the family rules!"

Mrs. Gui was shocked: "General!"

"What do you mean?"

Realizing that he had done something wrong, Lei Ning awkwardly reached out to explain.

Mrs. Gui avoided him and went to her daughter.

"General, Nian'er and I will discuss this ourselves. Please leave first."

Lei Ning hesitated: "But if she makes you angry again..."

Madam Gui gnashed her teeth and said, "I'm not as angry as you are when you open your mouth and want to punish the child!"

Lei Ning: "......Okay."

With the door closed, there was one less person fanning the flames, and the atmosphere suddenly became less tense.

Mrs. Gui also softened her voice: "Nian'er, tell me why you want to go to such a dangerous place?"

"You must have your reasons. Let me know, okay?"

Lei Nian'er had no desire to speak: "Even if I say it, my mother won't understand."

"But if you don't even tell me, then my mother won't understand."

"I am unwilling to accept that my father doesn't care about me, but you know it, mother."

"I was born in a military family. I took all the military books in my family to the palace and read them all until they were worn out."

"I am familiar with every sandbox in the palace. I am not proficient in all the eighteen martial arts, but when it comes to spears and swords, how many men in the entire capital can beat me?"
