The annual Qin Palace banquet is the prosperous age of the Qin people, on this night, every household hangs lanterns, does not go out all night, lights up the entire Xianyang City.

Among them, the most excited person was Mo Wu'an, because he followed behind Ying Zheng, entered the ancestral temple, recognized his ancestors, and restored his royal identity as the Ying clan.

Ying Zheng was not too big of a deal, and in front of many royal people, he deliberately lit the incense of King Qin Wu and sincerely bowed to the three major salutes, thus confirming Mo Wu'an's identity. This treatment, even Ying Ai has never obtained, it can be seen that Ying Zheng attaches great importance to Mo Wu'an.

Mo Wu'an knelt down sincerely and shouted excitedly: "Please witness the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the relatives of the royal family to witness, today Wu'an recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, restores the identity of the Ying family, and serves the clan forever." In front of the ancestors and ancestors, Wu'an swore that from now on, he would wholeheartedly assist Brother Yingzheng, and if he had two hearts, he would be punished by God. ”

There were many people in the royal family who wanted to rush out to stop it, but under Ying Zheng's condensed eyes, none of them dared to make any moves. The current Yingzheng is too prestigious, and no one dares to refute it to his face. They have also thought about it, now give you face, and when they come out to find trouble with Mo Wu'an during the feast, you will not be able to come forward again.

At that time, it is estimated that there are few people to speak for him with Mo Wu's connections in Xianyang. Ying Zheng and Mo Wu'an also thought of it, but they couldn't stop it, according to the Qin tradition, during the feast, anyone can speak, and there is no trouble in saying anything. Just like Lu Buwei back then, if he attacked Chang Yu in person, Ying Zheng and Mrs. Huayang would not stop him, after all, Chang Yu did not come.

And today's Mo Wu'an will also encounter the same situation, although he is here, he is not familiar with other clansmen. In the face of all the interrogations, he can only see how to deal with it himself, and Ying Zheng can't help him.

Being able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Mo Wu'an was already very satisfied, and he made up his mind, even if he was scolded by the clansmen at that time, and he would admit it no matter how much face he lost. After all, he killed many royal families in the Zongren Mansion back then, and if he didn't vent to the clansmen a few times, this knot would not be untied.

followed Yingzheng into the Qin Palace, and the Qin Palace banquet officially began.

The person who originally had the intention to provoke Chenxi just glanced at it and put all his thoughts on Mo Wu'an. Because Chenxi has too many bodyguards around her, not only are Min Dai, Hu Ji, Lin Ye and others present, but even Mrs. Huayang personally escorts her, and Chenxi's etiquette to Yingzheng is only a little rusty, but there is no mistake.

The situation in everyone's hearts, it is better not to upset too many people, just aim at Mo Wu'an unan.

Mo Wu'an, who was in stark contrast to Chenxi, was also bitter in her heart, looking at how beautifully the young palace master of Chenxi prepared, she took into account all the links that could make mistakes, even if someone wanted to pick on her, she couldn't stop so many people around her. Looking at himself, except for Vientiane Yun, who released his previous suspicions, there was no one else.

Maybe even Vientiane Yun couldn't bear to let him suffer, so he stood there to fill the scene, as for the inner historians, Geldan and others of the Ganquan Palace family, they had already avoided from afar, as if they were afraid that they had something to do with Mo Wu'an. Mo Wu'an had to sigh that there were too many people who had offended before, and it was inevitable that she would be hated.

Under the auspices of Mrs. Huayang, after three rounds of drinking, someone from the royal family stood up directly and said: "Mo Wu'an, the king will take you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and we have to recognize your royal identity." But you have to give an explanation today, why you killed so many clansmen back then, you have to give an explanation. ”

The surrounding magnates have quieted down, and every year at the Qin Palace banquet, you can see the jokes of the royal family, there are not many such opportunities, everyone laughs and watches there.

Mo Wu'an said: "The big mistake was made, I can only slowly forgive the sins in the future, I will not find other reasons to defend myself, those clansmen died in my hands, please forgive your clansmen." ”

Another royal family stood up and said: "According to my Great Qin Law, those who make mistakes must be punished, have you thought about how to punish yourself?" ”

Mo Wu'an said frankly: "I really haven't thought about this, please explain it directly." ”

The royal family said: "Since you killed someone in the Zongren Mansion, then you should punish yourself for forgiving your sins, and you will be grounded in the Zongren Mansion for ten years, so that more clansmen will not resent you." We all know that the king values you very much, and it is impossible to punish you in any way, but if you punish yourself, the king has nothing to say. ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "Ying Xu, you can come up with such a bad idea, I want to use Brother Wu'an, you are afraid that I will stop you, so you come up with this method, isn't it embarrassing for me?" ”

Yingxu said coldly: "The clansmen have grievances in their hearts, and they should say it." ”

Ying Zheng raised his hand, but put it down again, this matter can only be solved by Mo Wu'an himself, he really can't come forward.

Mo Wu'an sighed: "I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't go to the Zongren Mansion to forgive my sins for the time being, but please rest assured, after those things are done, if I don't die, I will definitely go to the Zongren Mansion to confine." It won't be too long, it's set in seven years, what do you think? ”

Yingxu shook his head and said, "That's not good, we don't know you well, who knows if what you said is true or false." If you really have the heart to forgive your sins, go to the Zongren Mansion today, otherwise we won't believe it. ”

Mo Wu'an was embarrassed, he still had to train in the ranch, and he also had to train secret guards, where could he go to the Zongren Mansion. These people are really difficult, and he can't think of any other reason for it. The secret guard won't tell outsiders about it at all, it's really worrying.

Looking at Mo Wu'an, who was silent there, Ying Zheng and the others couldn't bear it, but it was inconvenient to interfere.

Just as Mo Wu'an was responding to his suffering, he only heard a group of people walking in the distance, and the leading woman said: "Brother Yingxu, I think this matter is over, Brother Wu'an is still of great use to me, I will punish him to satisfy the royal family." ”

I saw Ling Yu leading a group of people over, and everyone finished saluting Ying Zheng and Mrs. Huayang, and looked at the royal family at the same time.

Ying smiled and said: "Zero Feather Beauty, no one dares to speak for him, why do you want to be that villain?" ”

Zero Yu smiled bitterly: "In his position, planning his own affairs, have you seen these people I brought?" It's all about the Ink Protector. I can make a promise to the royal family that starting tomorrow, he will visit the royal mansion one by one. Especially the royal mansions he killed, he will bow three times in front of the door as a royal family of the Ying clan to make amends, I think this is enough. ”

One of the royal families stood up and said, "This can't be done, he must be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion before we can be satisfied." ”

Zero Yu frowned and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, he will be of great use to me, because I want to appoint him as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and protect me full-time." ”

He said to a person behind him: "Meng Tian, announce the decree of the Queen Mother." ”

Meng Tian stood up and said loudly: "Pass on the order of Mrs. Zhao Ji, appoint Lord Ling Yu as the next master of Ganquan Palace, control the military power of Yongcheng, and become the commander of the garrison army. ”

Hearing this voice, everyone gasped, and even Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard it, not to mention others. There is nothing in the world that Zhao Ji does not dare to do, even a female commander can do it, can the garrison obey a woman's military orders?

Yingxu frowned and said, "Sister Zero Yu, this is not appropriate." Even if Mrs. Zhao Ji lets you control the military power of Yongcheng, you can't take it, my Great Qin army, where has there ever been a woman as the commander. What's more, the appointment of the Praetorian Guard should be decided by the king, how can you set up a deputy commander for yourself? ”

Zero Yu Zhengse said: "Why not?" I am the commander of the ranch, and I have absolute leadership over the Praetorian Guard, and I don't need to ask the king to appoint a deputy commander. I know that everyone wants to stuff people into it, but I also want to tell you that the Praetorian Guard has a strict number limit, and no one who fails the examination is used. ”

"My mother gave me such power, and I knew that I would offend a lot of people, and since I should be offended, I don't need to give any face to the royal family. I also want to ask everyone, is face important, or is my Daqin's interests important? If you want to oppose it, you can only oppose it by people in the army, and I won't listen to other voices. ”

"As a commander, my own safety must be guaranteed, so I want Mo Wu'an's status to be raised and his worries solved, so that he can do things for me with peace of mind. Why can't a woman be a commander? The Shang Dynasty had a good woman and a good woman god of war, and the Empress Dowager Xuan also led the soldiers back then, and Ganquan Palace led the garrison for many years, why can't I become a commander? ”

Ying said falsely: "Even if you become the commander, the military people will not be convinced." ”

Zero Yu glanced back and said sharply: "Whoever dares to disagree, I will withdraw it, you can say it yourself, accept it or not?" ”

Xibu, Meng Tian, Yingcheng and others said in unison: "I am willing to obey the order of Lord Zero Yu." ”

Zero Yu turned around and said, "Yingxu, do you hear that?" My people are all convinced, what else do you have to say? ”

Yingxu's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "Yingcheng, how can you listen to a woman's words?" ”

Yingcheng smiled bitterly: "Is it okay to be disobedient?" Today, Lord Zero Yu called us over, didn't say anything, and beat us up directly. None of us can beat her together, and she will continue to beat those who don't obey orders, and she can't accept it if she wants to. ”

Xibu said honestly: "Our Praetorian Guard brothers all trust Sister Ling Yu, the ranch has been in the pasture for so many years, and we are used to listening to her command. ”

Meng Tian also said: "Brother Yinghao has also obeyed the order, Lord Zero Yu is in charge of the ranch, and he can transfer troops to Yongcheng at any time." Brother Geldan, we have all accepted it, are you convinced? ”

Geldan smiled bitterly: "Mother's order, how dare we disobey it, not to mention that I really can't beat Sister Ling Yu, don't let me come out and be embarrassed." ”

The generals around Ling Yu were all convinced by her, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Yingzheng asked, "Yu'er, I know that my mother is choosing an heir, but it's too fast." ”

Zero Yu said: "King Qiyu, my mother said that according to the military's intelligence, Yan Guo has privately transferred 30,000 guards, and Chen soldiers are on the banks of the Yishui River. Yan Guo first mobilized the garrison army, so why can't my Great Qin be transferred? Mother also said that she just wanted to watch a play, so she found Ling Yu to come out and charge into battle, and also played a big play for Yan Guo, so that Yan Jun did not dare to move. ”

"I will sit in the rear and command Meng Tian to fight. The soldiers of Yongcheng can't be led by people who are not familiar with them at all, and the ranch often exercises military formations with the garrison guards, so she chose me. ”

Wei Yu suddenly said: "Lord Zero Yu, does Yan Guo really dare to privately transfer the guards? Why didn't we get a secret report from the military? ”

Zero Yu said: "Lord Wei, just because of the suddenness of the incident, my mother immediately let me take command. The only people who are most familiar with the garrison are the garrison itself, and of course the Central Plains troops do not understand. The tactics of the garrison army are not familiar with the ordinary Central Plains army at all, and if I don't stand up again, my military colleagues will suffer a big loss. ”

"I will transfer 30,000 garrisons from Yongcheng and reorganize them with the garrisons outside Xianyang City to form a 40,000-strong Chen soldier border and form a confrontation situation on the banks of the Yishui River. These are all internal matters of the military, and when the banquet is over, I will work out a plan with the generals as soon as possible for the king to decide. ”

The people in the military nodded, as long as there was a battle to fight, they would not ask the question of whether a woman could be a commander. What's more, there is the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji behind Zero Yu, if you say too much, it is Huayang Palace that will be offended.

Faced with this situation, Ying Zheng naturally would not object, because he was not familiar with the internal affairs of the garrison, and Zhao Ji chose Ling Yu as the commander, what is the difference between Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng's own commander? As long as the military does not object, outsiders do not need to pay attention to what they say.

At this time, everyone no longer consulted about Mo Wu'an's affairs, and when the people put on this posture, the royal family did not dare to mention the punishment of Mo Wu'an.

No one dared to speak anymore, but someone still said it, only to see Hu Ji ask: "Sister Ling Yu, little sister has a doubt, even if my mother doesn't want me to take over the military power of Yongcheng, it should be handed over to Sister Ye Zi, how can I give it to you?" ”

Zero Yu said frankly: "There are four main reasons why Mother did this. ”

"First, those who can lead the garrison must come from the military, and only military people will not bother too much about the affairs of the court."

"Second, the garrison soldiers are some ruffians who are difficult to tame, and the commander must not only understand the ability to lead troops into battle, but also convince them with personal force. If it is replaced by two younger sisters, it is estimated that even Ying Hao will not be able to beat it. With such soldiers, you don't need to make any big senses, first beat them a few times with personal force, and they will be convinced, which is probably not possible for you. ”

"Third, you are not familiar with the tactics of the garrison and the combined attack of the battle formation. This is not something that can be learned in a short period of time, and it must be studied for a long time to constantly find out the shortcomings and fill in the shortcomings. ”

"Fourth, there can be no personal interest. In other words, the commander of the garrison army cannot participate in government affairs in Zhangtai Palace, and those are not the things that the commander of the garrison army should do. For example, Brother Yinghao, he has led troops in Yongcheng for many years and never returned to Xianyang to participate in government affairs. Yongcheng has a rule, if you want to meddle in the government, you must first resign as a general and become a civil servant. It is estimated that such people will not be appointed by any military unit in the future, because those people are not even willing to accept the garrison, will the other parts be accepted? ”

"Mother has a very good saying, the duty of a soldier is only two words, obedience. Pure armies, always know how to obey, they don't need to ask about anything else. If Sister Orchid goes to lead, you will definitely be a little more restrained, which is exactly what the army can't want. ”

"What's more, to command the soldiers of Yongcheng, you must have a completely iron-blooded style, and you must always deter the ruffians who do not obey orders. If you make a mistake once, military law will serve; made two mistakes and was executed on the spot. There is no need to tell them any reason, once a military order is issued, even if it is a wrong military order, they must carry it out, only in this way can they train the strongest army. ”

"This kind of army is called a garrison, can you do it?"

Hu Ji and Lin Ye looked at each other, they were so cruel, no wonder Zhao Ji killed so many people in Yongcheng back then, and he could still get the support of the people of Yongcheng. At least Hu Ji can't do it herself, because she is the princess of Yiqu, and she is really reluctant to kill more Yiqu soldiers.

But Ling Yu is different, she is an airborne commander, and she doesn't talk to you about any feelings at all, she just needs you to obey. Just like she treats the generals around her, she doesn't explain anything to you, she beats you up first. Now I beat the general, and when she goes to Yongcheng, she has to kill a group of people first.

Now that the sharp teeth are exposed, the aura of the military is revealed, and it will soon be transmitted to Yongcheng. When she went, it was estimated that the guards would not dare to anger her, and they would kill fewer people. Those soldiers are not stupid, even the top boss was beaten by her, where are they her opponents. really annoyed her, move out of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, God knows how many people will be killed.

In the face of this situation, what else can Mo Wu'an say? Of course, climb along the pole and become the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard. With this position, who would dare to lock him up in the Zongren Mansion.
