Chapter 109 Split Personality
[I'm afraid it's not what I want, but what you want! 】
The emperor knew that he was in a difficult situation, but he could not agree to let the King of Huainan attack Meng Su now. In the past, my father often said that the King of Huainan was a rare general who was good at using troops.
If he loses the fight, he cannot be killed to atone for his crime.
If he wins, who can guarantee that he won't just go all the way and rebel?
If the time comes and the 100,000-strong army turns around and heads straight for Shengjing, will he still be the emperor?
Minister Guo was simple-minded and didn't think of going there. Prime Minister Qin understood his concerns, but he couldn't say it directly, otherwise, wouldn't it make him appear as a narrow-minded emperor who couldn't even trust a brother who guarded the border?
After waiting for a while, the emperor said, "At present, everything is just one-sided words from the King of Huainan. It is still uncertain what the situation of Meng Su is and whether he will send troops."
Minister Guo's heart tightened, so, what does the emperor mean?
"We will discuss this matter later."
These six simple words shattered all the hopes in Minister Guo's heart. Let's discuss it later, that means there is no room for negotiation.
They may be delayed, but the opportunity will not be delayed.
"Why is there no movement in the palace?" Lu Jing has been running around these days, waiting for the emperor to notice him and then let him take on the task and restore the family's glory.
But after waiting for a long time, the imperial edict in the dream never came.
He walked back and forth in Shen Ruoyan's room, and had done so several times, making Shen Ruoyan dizzy.
"My Lord, you should sit down and have a rest." Shen Ruoyan rubbed her forehead. She had been thinking about too many things during this period of time, and even her head started to hurt.
Speaking of which, ever since she was reborn in Shen Ruoyan's body, she thought she was still the same person, but she recently discovered that this was not the case.
She has a straightforward and decisive character, especially after becoming the Queen Mother. As a person in a higher position, she holds the power of life and death over countless people, and her majesty cannot be challenged!
But after she woke up, there was always a gentle force surrounding her.
This situation was particularly serious when Lu Yan was by her side.
She had thought that it was the emotions left over from the original owner, so she asked Doctor Xu to find a way to restore Lu Yan's body to normal. She also found a teacher for him to teach him the principles of life, and even though she had been hurt once, she still treated him as her own son.
I thought that in this way, the real Shen Ruoyan would be able to leave peacefully, and I would be able to return to my original state.
But unknowingly, the three words "Shen Ruoyan" seemed to have been integrated into her bones and blood, and could not be removed at all!
She felt bad even if she looked at a fool like Lu Jing for a second longer, and she wanted to drag him out and chop him up right away! But every time she really had this thought, another thought would occupy her and make her become "gentle"...
Sometimes, Lu Hua couldn't tell whether he was the decisive and ruthless empress dowager or the gentle and gentle Shen Ruoyan.
She would even wake up in the middle of the night in her dreams - was she really reborn?
Wasn't all this really just a dream she had?
Otherwise, why does she always feel like she is being torn apart from the rest of herself?
However, after experiencing the fear of death, Shen Ruoyan really could not give up the beauty of being alive.
She just wants to live!
No matter whether it is Shen Ruoyan or Lu Hua, as long as she is the living person, then that person is her!
Shen Ruoyan sighed, and just like many times before, she showed a gentle look, always looking at Lu Jing with tolerance. But the words she said were very different from the real Shen Ruoyan.
"My Lord, go find the Minister of War. If you want to go to the battlefield, finding him is the only way!"
Even Lu Jing didn't have the confidence to say it in such a confident tone, but Shen Ruoyan didn't pause or hesitate for a moment.
She knew Shangshu Guo, a man of integrity and integrity, a rare military commander who had both brains and the ability to play the pig and eat the tiger.
He must have known about Meng Su's crisis. He should be trying to find a way to ask the emperor to send troops to seize the initiative!
But Minister Guo alone could not persuade the emperor. Moreover, with the cunning and treacherous Prime Minister Qin around, his chances of success were slim.
According to the emperor's character, he would never take the risk of being betrayed by the King of Huainan and take the initiative to send troops.
The only possibility is to wait for Meng Su to start the war!
"Go find Minister Guo and express your feelings. That way, when the war starts, he will think of you first." Shen Ruoyan analyzed calmly.
In fact, with Lu Jing's strength, even if he stood in front of Minister Guo, Minister Guo would not want to use him.
However, Lu Jing has one advantage—he is just in name only!
Coming from a family of military generals, an old marquis who had made great contributions, not being stupid, and having a heart that wants to achieve great things... Adding all these points together, Lu Jing is the most suitable candidate.
If the emperor wants to choose someone, he is the most suitable one.
Minister Guo's goal is to maintain the stability of Nanwu. As long as the emperor agrees to start the war, it doesn't matter to him who is sent.
But if this candidate is related to the emperor's decision, then he will consider it carefully.
Prime Minister Qin does not get along with him, and the position of military supervisor does not require going to the battlefield in person, so Prime Minister Qin will definitely recommend his own people.
Who knows, he is a civil official who knows nothing about fighting a war. He will give blind orders and most of the King of Huainan's energy will probably be wasted on dealing with these fools.
So he had to choose someone who would be easier, or at least someone who would not be a drag on the King of Huainan.
Only in this way can the King of Huainan be able to take the lead on the battlefield.
As for his merits… Prince Huainan is already the top prince, and there is no more title to be given, so he doesn’t care about these things at all. Moreover, the greater his merits, the more fearful the emperor will be.
He understood this better than Minister Guo.
Lu Jing was skeptical. "Minister Guo? The Minister of War? He always looks down on me. How can it work?"
[If you can do it, go ahead. If you can’t, get out! ]
After Shen Ruoyan cursed in her heart, she finally managed to hold back a laugh: "How do you know it won't work if you don't try it, Lord?"
Lu Jing must be willing to do this. Although Shen Ruoyan needs him to earn the credit, he doesn't want Lu Jing to really ruin things.
"Besides, the Prince of Huainan is good at fighting. Even if the fighting breaks out, he will be the one to lead the battle. The Marquis only needs to stay in the rear and serve as the military supervisor." Shen Ruoyan's words were like a deadly poison, but the poison smelled so delicious that people could not help but want to fall for it.
Lu Jing only heard her whispering in his ear: "If we lose, it will be the fault of the King of Huainan. But if we win, it will be your credit, Lord Marquis. Why not do it?"
