Chapter 236 Princess Xuan Chaoqi
"Back then, Princess Xuan Chaoqi did the same thing, spending all her family wealth to recruit soldiers and horses."
"From a few hundred men at the beginning, 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 stories of her elders who founded 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 a heroine. ]
[Why did they disappear after the Great Viet was pacified? 】
【Is it because of poor health? 】
Hearing his daughter's thoughts, Bei Heng recalled his memory of his aunt.
She was still young when she died, not old enough for the hidden injuries to flare up.
But she was in a bad mood, like a female eagle with broken wings, trapped in a gold-woven and jade-carved birdcage.
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 was indeed full of talented people later on, unlike when the country was founded and there was no one available to send their own sisters into battle.
But why should we put the wild animals that can hunt back into the yard?
What a waste!
Is it possible that such a good general would be wasted just because of the gossips of those ministers and worldly people?
No, is it because Vietnam has so many talented people that it can’t accommodate them all that you’re doing this?
Do you know that your son is eager to recruit talents?
For a good horse, it doesn’t matter whether it is a bull or a cow, isn’t it enough as long as it can plow the land?
It's 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 collapsed in his heart.
I still remember that my aunt was buried with military honors that day, and many people sang praises to her for the honor.
But this is what she deserved.
For a man who had made great contributions to the founding of Dai Viet, being buried with military honors was actually an honor?
When the emperor came to his senses, he suddenly felt that he didn't recognize this world anymore.
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 in leading the army is the strongest."
"Now that the war in Tuning has just ended, I can only trouble him to make another trip."
For Bei Heng, it doesn't matter which general in the court can be the chief commander.
But the little bastard has her own considerations, and as an Aye, of course she has to satisfy 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 beg 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 hit the target the first time and cause more trouble, 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 her: "Every time we learn the art of war, you are the first one to master it."
"Don't worry, don't worry. At worst, you'll miss this opportunity. It's okay."
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 Jing initially chose Microsoft.
Lei Nian'er continued, "Since we were born, there have only been these two battles in Great Yue."
"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 is 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 unclear 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 Dai Viet, regardless of life and death. Why are you joining in the fun?"
"Do you think that's a fun place?"
"Nian'er, you are a girl who is about to get married, so can you be more sensible?"
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 great importance to this fetus because the imperial physician diagnosed that it was probably a boy.
Lei Ning, who had a son in his old age, treasured him very much, so naturally, although he had a casual attitude, he stood on Mrs. Gui's side.
"Nian'er, the front line is indeed dangerous. You are your mother's only daughter, so don't let her worry."
"Now you don't have to go to school anymore. Just stay at home and do your accounting and embroidery while you wait for your brother to be born. Then you can take him with you. Isn't that good?"
"Don't go then. What if something happens to you and your mother gets pregnant?"
Lei Nian'er didn't know how to refute. She was confused by the arguments and could only mutter, "I want to go."
"Mom remembers that you were very sensible when you were little. Why did 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 panicked and gave a bad idea: "Nian'er, look at how angry you made your mother."
"If you continue to behave willfully, I will use 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, "That's not as irritating as you saying that you 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.
Madam Gui also softened her voice: "Nian'er, tell me, why do 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, mother won't understand."
"But if you don't even say it, then mother will definitely not 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 brought all the military books in my family to the palace and read them all until they were worn out."
"I am familiar with every sand table in the palace. I am not proficient in all the eighteen martial arts, but with spears and swords, how many men in the whole capital can beat me?"
