Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces
Chapter 103: The "Cannon Fodder" General Disguised as a Man (48)
Under the leadership of Qin Zheng, a group of generals finally defended Lu County for more than a month, and the Yan army was defeated.
At the same time, the Xianbei, unable to capture Yanmen after a long siege, also reached a truce agreement with Daxia.
After the war, Qin Zheng and others obtained Song Mu's permission to stay in Yuyang County and wiped out the large and small bandit strongholds in the county and eliminated many local corrupt officials.
After the new governor of Yuyang County takes office, Yuyang County will undergo a complete overhaul and the entire Yuyang County will be exempt from taxes for three years!
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, every family is celebrating the harvest and every household has surplus food. The gloom that previously shrouded the people's faces has been swept away.
Everyone is full of beautiful hope for the future.
On the day when the Dingbei Army returned to the capital, the people of Yuyang County saw them off for ten miles, and the eyes of all the young men in the army were red.
After stopping and walking along the way, the Dingbei Army led by Qin Zheng finally returned to the capital before the end of the year.
This year, good news came from Yanmen Pass and Yuyang, and Song Mulong was very happy.
Therefore, Qin Zheng and others had just returned to Beijing and had not even had time to sit down when they rushed to the celebration banquet in the palace.
Song Mu rewarded all the generals according to their merits, and Sui Ning was promoted to general because of his outstanding performance in the battle.
However, just when everyone thought that the dust had settled, Song Mu suddenly asked Qin Zheng to step forward.
"You have grown up under my watch. You should be twenty years old by the end of the year. Your Qin family has been a single-line family for generations. Now is the time for you to start a family."
"Do you have a sweetheart? Since your parents are here at the celebration banquet today, I will arrange a marriage for you. It will be a double joy!"
The incident happened suddenly, and Qin Ke and his wife were both shocked.
All the ministers and their families in the hall suddenly became quiet, and began to watch the excitement with bated breath.
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes slightly and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I do have someone I like."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became agitated.
A group of ministers, ladies and noble girls were whispering and discussing among themselves.
Only Qin Ke and his wife frowned with complicated expressions.
Sui Ning was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qin Zheng to tell the truth, so she just watched from the side.
Qin Zheng continued, "It's just that the person I love hasn't truly accepted me yet. I respect her, so I want to wait until the time is right before making any plans."
This successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.
Even Song Mu couldn't help but sit up straight and asked with a smile, "General Qin is a man of both civil and military talents, and he is incredibly handsome. I wonder which daughter of such a noble family could have the heart to reject him?"
Looking at the entire capital, Qin Zheng is a rare good man with both literary and military skills and a clean family background.
If Xiao Shi (Song Qinghuan) didn't dislike him now, he would have wanted to match him with Xiao Shi.
For this reason, he still regretted that Xiao Shi had no vision. Who would have thought that there really was someone with the same different vision as Xiao Shi.
"I like her, so I don't want to ruin her reputation before the matter is concluded. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Qin Zheng said sincerely.
"Whatever." Song Mu waved his hand.
Qin Zheng was unwilling to say it, and as the emperor, it was not easy for him to force it.
Seeing that the emperor did not investigate further, Qin Ke and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could completely let go of their worries, they heard Song Mu call Sui Ning's name again.
It’s still the same excuse for the marriage.
Sui Ning said, "Thanks to the emperor's grace, I have achieved what I have today. However, I have vowed to serve my country for the rest of my life, to fight on the battlefield and protect Daxia."
"Ji Yan said that I was born for Daxia. My ambition is set, and I will never consider marriage in my lifetime."
The words were shocking and the whole audience was in uproar!
"This……"
In the previous discussion about Qin Zheng, they were just curious and listened for fun.
But what Sui Ning just said was like throwing a huge stone into the calm lake, causing an uproar.
Song Mu, who had always been firmly seated on the throne, was now also uneasy and hurriedly advised: "General Ye, it is good to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but never marrying is too serious."
He could see clearly that Sui Ning was serious about what he said.
Before Sui Ning could respond, Xu Chenglin quickly walked out from the banquet and knelt beside her.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Xiao Ning is still young and doesn't understand matters of marriage. She also has a strong desire to serve her country. I may have said something wrong, but I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
As he spoke, he signaled to Sui Ning with his eyes not to mess around.
In front of the emperor, every word is worth a thousand gold.
If the words of 'never marrying' are finalized today, any violation in the future will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!
How can a man of his stature be without descendants?
Song Mu breathed a sigh of relief and continued with Xu Chenglin's words, "It's okay. It's normal for young people to be ignorant. You will understand it slowly in the future. Just don't say such words of not marrying again."
Xu Chenglin pulled Sui Ning and said yes repeatedly, but Sui Ning felt helpless.
Although he knew that his cheap uncle had good intentions, he didn't understand that the current situation was already doomed.
As expected by Sui Ning, Song Mu continued, "My tenth princess, Song Qinghuan, is lively, lovely, considerate, and has fallen in love with you."
"You two are of the same age, so why don't I grant you a marriage today?"
After hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.
All the civil and military officials in the court were old foxes with experience of thousands of years, and now they finally understood the emperor's intention.
What they said about arranged marriage before was all a cover, now the real intention is to promise Princess Qinghuan to Sui Ning!
Sui Ning is a rising star in the court. He is the best among his peers in terms of martial arts and strategy. At a young age, he has become a top general by his own efforts.
His achievements in the future will definitely not be inferior to Qin Zheng's, and there is no big force behind him.
The most important thing is that Sui Ning is handsome and handsome, and the Tenth Princess likes him. He is simply the perfect choice for a prince consort!
Xu Chenglin was caught off guard by the emperor's words, but he also understood the emperor's intention and his face was bitter.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Ning is still young..."
Song Mu interrupted him expressionlessly, "Seventeen is not young anymore. If you are worried about the age issue, I can make the decision and let them get engaged first."
The strength in his words and deeds clearly shows his position.
Whether Sui Ning is willing or not, she has to accept this arranged marriage today!
No one dared to challenge the emperor's majesty, and the hall was completely silent.
At this time, Qin Zheng knelt beside Sui Ning, trying to break the deadlock, "Your Majesty, General Ye is not interested in this. In order not to delay the princess, the engagement is still under discussion!"
"Qin Zheng, this matter has nothing to do with you." Song Mu said coldly.
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Song Mu looked coldly at the three people kneeling under his seat, and silent pressure spread out.
"Your Majesty, I cannot marry the princess!" Sui Ning refused sternly.
It was the first time that Song Mu was refuted in such a way.
His face darkened slightly, and he looked angry. "Ye Ning, don't try to evade me with your promise of never marrying. Do you think marrying my princess would be unfair to you?!"
Facing the emperor's wrath, Sui Ning was not afraid at all. She said bluntly: "I dare not, but if the princess marries me, it will ruin her life."
After saying that, without waiting for Song Mu to get angry, Sui Ning reached out to wipe off the disguise on her face and took off the headband on her head.
Her long black hair cascaded down on both sides of her chest, softening her facial features instantly.
Before everyone could recover from Sui Ning's change, they heard her say, "Your Majesty, I am a woman, so I cannot marry the princess."
The person was still the same person, but the voice was a female voice as clear and cold as jade!
