Chapter 813: Husband and Wife Soldier

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was a long silence in the hall that day.

Emperor Minghua, who had always prided himself on being magnanimous, face darkened on the spot as he looked deeply at Qin Huai.

Qin Huai’s identity in the Imperial Court was a secret that couldn’t be made public. As long as the secret wasn’t made public, it would remain a secret.

If Qin Huai led the army to suppress the Third Prince. If he ascended to the position of the Crown Prince in the future, he would definitely be remembered for what happened today.

The world wouldn’t care if you knew beforehand. They only believed what they saw and thought.

At that time, if Emperor Minghua wanted Qin Huai to assume his position as a Prince, the Crown Prince, or even the future Emperor, there would be public opinion resistance.

If he successfully ascended the throne, the world would also think to themselves, Oh, the new Emperor is a murderer who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger and killed his brother!

To a future Emperor, he had to pay attention to negative public opinion.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the crowd.

Emperor Minghua thought of many things, but Qin Huai didn’t think so deeply. He didn’t even care about the throne at all.

If he knew what Emperor Minghua and the ministers were thinking, he would only sneer and say, “Who wants to be the Emperor?”

He was different from most men now. He had no intention of making contributions, nor did he want to sit on the throne.

Although the Emperor was a supreme ruler, he would never be free in his life. He lived in a place filled with blood and was busy every day. If he made a mistake, he would be labeled as an incompetent ruler and a tyrant.

There were even people who recorded his eating, drinking, and pooping with pens and paper. If he even said a few more words to his beloved, it would be noticed as well. There were even officials who advised the Emperor not to be obsessed with love.

Wasn’t it tiring?

Emperor Minghua remained silent for a long time. Qin Huai looked around and asked loudly, “Ministers, do you have anyone else to recommend? If you do, I can back down.”

The ministers looked at each other, not daring to reply.

That was the Third Prince!

Even if he was demoted to a commoner, he was still a son of the royal family. Even if Emperor Minghua didn’t love him, there were many nobles who wanted to maintain the reputation of the royal family who would help him.

Moreover, the Third Prince’s mother’s family was not simple. After being severely punished by Emperor Minghua, there were still aristocratic families that held on to them.

The concubines of the Imperial Family were not as powerless as the concubines of the common people. Those who could be selected as “concubines” in the Imperial Family did not have simple backgrounds.

Especially someone like Emperor Minghua. The number of people in his harem who had been conferred a position could be counted on one hand. Wouldn’t that be extracting the cream from the crop?

According to Emperor Minghua’s own wishes, other than Empress Qin, he originally didn’t want any other women to be included in the harem!

However, as an Emperor, there were too many things he had to do even if he didn’t want to.

On the other hand, General Zuo stood up and said, “Your Majesty, I’m willing to go with Official Qin to capture the traitor!”

The ministers were in an uproar!

General Zuo was indeed a boorish person. He even called the Third Prince a traitor in front of the Emperor!

However, Emperor Minghua didn’t react much. Seeing the determination in Qin Huai’s eyes, he didn’t know why he thought of Empress Qin’s cold gaze.

He sighed and said, “If that’s the case, we’ll do as you say.”

After the court session, an Imperial Edict was sent down after being verified by the Cabinet.

General Zuo was conferred the title of Commanding Marshal, and Qin Huai was conferred the title of Imperial Envoy. They were sent to the border to capture the rebels and raise the prestige of the country.

Another secret decree was sent to General Zuo, reminding him that he could kill the traitor if necessary, but he couldn’t let anyone die in Qin Huai’s hands.

General Zuo scratched his head and decided to strike first.

That day, the commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau entered the palace to meet the Emperor and offered a treasure called the Nine Dragon Treasure Cauldron.

In the inner hall, Ah Yu was neither servile nor overbearing as she said, “Your Majesty, this item was seized from the underground secret city of Jiangsai. It has the ability to predict earthquakes and other disasters. The reason why I could quickly help Woye County back then was because of this item!”

Emperor Minghua was shocked when he heard this. Ignoring the dignity of an Emperor, he ran down and circled the huge golden cauldron.

He asked curiously, “Does this thing really have such a miraculous effect?”

Ah Yu: “When I was divining in the Astrology Divination Bureau previously, 1 had a feeling that I could find something that would bring great benefits to Great Chang. Therefore, I requested to go to Jiangsai and obtained this item. It’s an unparalleled strange item. I found out that it can stabilize the world and calm the hearts of the people. If Your Majesty doesn’t believe me, you can monitor it when the time comes.”

Great Chang was vast and abundant. But every year, all kinds of disasters would arise. There would be floods and droughts here, or pest disasters, wind disasters, earthquakes, and so on. Every time disasters struck, there would be people displaced. If they couldn’t be helped in time, there would often be riots.

Therefore, more than half of the money in the treasury every year was used to deal with disaster relief, either to appease the refugees, reorganize the public order, or to allocate military pay to suppress the rebels.

If he had this thing, he could deal with the problem early according to the magnitude of the disaster to avoid many losses.

It could be said to be a treasure that had descended from the sky.

It was not false to say that one could rule the world with it.

Emperor Minghua loved Ah Yu to the core. Seeing her outstanding political achievements in Jiangsai, he cherished her talent.

Now that she had effortlessly offered this item, Emperor Minghua really liked her.

Emperor Minghua already knew that All Yu was very likely the daughter of a Princess of the West Wind Nation’s royal family. She had the bloodline of the West Wind Nation’s royal family, but she was concerned about the Great Chang. How could he not love her?

His son was so smart in choosing a partner! Now, he could keep such a good talent!

Emperor Minghua was not an incompetent ruler. Back then, when he found out about All Yu’s background, he had a brief suspicion, but it was left unsettled.

The relationship between the West Wind Nation and Great Chang was not very tense. But the royal family of the West Wind Nation wanted to come over and steal her back. He was not guarding against Ah Yu harming Great Chang, but against Ah Yu being stolen back to the West Wind Nation!

Ah Yu liked their Great Chang. Good!

Those people from West Wind Nation were probably so jealous that they were about to stomp their feet.

Hehehe.

Emperor Minghua suppressed the joy in his heart and coughed lightly. “I will definitely investigate this matter. Before that, do you have any reward you want me to give you?”

Ah Yu nodded. “Yes.”

She said it so bluntly that Emperor Minghua choked.

Aren’t you supposed to be humble?

Emperor Minghua: “Oh, what reward do you want?”

He made up his mind that no matter what Ah Yu said, he would agree.

A little girl could only want some minor things.

It was fine even if she was given the status of a Princess. It was not impossible to give her father a noble title and a higher order for her mother or Grandma.

At the very least, it was only natural to raise the grade of the Astrology Divination Bureau she was in.

Unexpectedly, All Yu said without thinking, “Your Majesty, please allow me to follow the army and fight against the rebels with Official Qin!”

Emperor Minghua coughed violently.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough… What did you say?”

How could a woman follow the army!

Moreover, what kind of reward was this? Wasn’t accompanying the army a punishment?

Ah Yu said in a serious tone, “Your Majesty, you might not know this, but I’ve divined before that if 1 don’t accompany him, Official Qin’s life might be in danger. But if I accompany him, there should be a pleasant surprise.”

Ah Yu was not making this up. She and Meatball had calculated it together.

Ah Yu’s divination ability was not bad now, and her conclusion was most likely right.

Emperor Minghua only thought for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I’ll allow it.”

When the ministers learned that the female commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau was also going to accompany the army, they were all in a mess.

Other people fought as father and son, but these two were husband and wife.

Did they think that war was a game?

Emperor Minghua: “Or do you think that it’s more appropriate for this Emperor to give her the title of a Marquis?”

The ministers waved their hands and cupped their hands. “Your Majesty is wise. Commander Wang is skilled in both civil and military matters. This time, she will definitely help our army win a complete victory!”

Emperor Minghua smiled in satisfaction.

When Qin Huai found out about this, he was worried at first, but he quickly smiled.

Right, I’ll take it that I’m bringing All Yu to see the world in advance.

As for those people and things that ruined their sight-seeing mood, he would just kill them when the time came..
