Sima Rui shook his head almost invisibly, and his lips moved slightly. Before he could say anything, he heard Qingyun's voice like a warbler's cry: "Father, in fact, this birthday gift is not what Bago has prepared!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone understood it clearly.
The Ninth Princess has always valued these princes the most, and it seems that she is going to save King Yue from the siege. But I don’t know what the birthday gift that the Ninth Princess has prepared for King Yue will be?
But Sima Chun's expression became as deep as frost, and his eyes flashed with shock and anger when he looked at Qingyun.
Sima Yue looked up at Qing Yun, his face filled with emotion and remorse. He had made Jiu'er worry again.
Sima Rui and Sima Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Jiu'er came forward and the eighth brother would be safe. However, they were also curious about what the birthday gift Jiu'er was talking about.
Li Feixue picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the fine wine. Li Feixue's expression was calm. She knew that the Ninth Princess would not sit back and watch King Yue being bullied and ignore it.
Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows, feeling jealous.
"Oh?" Emperor Huiwen glanced at Sima Chun, are you so impatient for the dragon to control Jiutian? It's a pity that you are not a real dragon! In the blink of an eye, he looked at his beloved daughter with a face full of love: "Then Jiu'er, tell me, Lao Ba is ready What birthday gift is this?”
Her clear eyes passed over the people who were looking at her curiously, and finally landed on Sima Yue, nodding to him without revealing any trace. Qingyun then turned to look at Emperor Huiwen and said meaningfully: "Father, I didn't know something. At the beginning, When he was in Jiuyuan County, Bage once told his son that his father's birthday was coming soon. Bage wanted to prepare a special gift for his father, but he had not yet decided what to give. Later, Bage led the imperial army to encircle and suppress the rebels. At that time, I suddenly had an inspiration and thought of having someone build a military chess set."
"Military chess?!" Emperor Huiwen and everyone else's faces became more and more surprised: since ancient times, there has only been Go, and they have never heard of military chess.
Qingyun glanced sideways at Lu Ba, who then left. After a while, he led two purple-clothed guards back and walked to the middle of the open space. Lu Ba stretched out his hand and opened a brocade box about two feet wide and four feet long that the two men were carrying. .
On a chessboard carved from crystal clear white jade, there stand thirty-two little white jade figures as big as green amber fists, and they have different costumes, whether it is their movements, facial expressions, or even the little figures on their clothes. The accessories are also clearly carved and look lifelike.
"This is the military chess that Bago envisioned in that battle." Qingyun explained: "The chessboard is divided into two with the river as the boundary. Each side of the battle has a general, two lieutenants, two strategists, and two knights. , two archers, two chariots, and five ordinary soldiers. In the end, the victory is to capture the opponent's general. As for whether the opponent can be defeated and the final victory is achieved, it all depends on the military tactics and strategies of the person who represents the general. ."
The whole place was in an uproar, and Sima Yue and the generals were even more excited and ecstatic.
Mo Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a secret voice reached Qingyun's ears: "You have worked so hard for King Yue." He had no idea about the military chess matter.
Hearing Mo Xuan's sour voice, Qingyun was slightly startled and replied in a secret voice: "He is my brother."
"What about me?"
"You are my love!"
The darkness in Mo Xuan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and a charming smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing the smile on Mo Xuan's lips, Qingyun secretly cursed: Jealousy, you don't even care about this! But she forgot that she didn't tell Mo Xuan about this.
"Bago told his idea to Erchen, who thought it was very good, so he ordered someone to find a skilled craftsman to build this military chess set. However, Bago wanted to surprise his father, so he first offered a jade Ruyi, and then Erchen took out this set of military chess pieces. I am dedicating this birthday gift to my father, but I don’t know if my father thinks it is an unexpected surprise?" Qing Yun said with a sweet smile.
She was touched when she learned that her brothers were secretly dealing with Lin Bingquan because of her. She also learned that Bage forgot to prepare a birthday gift because of this. She thought of the chess that Bingying once said and had an idea, so she had someone prepare this military chess set as Bage. It was a birthday gift for my father, but the time was tight and it had just been completed.
"Okay, okay, Lao Ba really took the trouble!" Emperor Huiwen nodded with a smile.
"It's fine if my father thinks it's good. In fact, Bage also thinks that my father is busy working on state affairs day and night, and usually has nothing to do for entertainment. Now with this set of military chess, my father can relax in his spare time. Later, I will be with you. My brother will show my father how to play chess."
"My filial piety is commendable, but I think the most rare thing is that you brothers and sisters are united. I like this birthday gift very much!"
Glancing at Sima Chun, whose expression changed, Qingyun took Emperor Huiwen's arm and said meaningfully: "Father, Bage is very filial and has made outstanding achievements in quelling the civil strife. Shouldn't Father reward Bage as an encouragement?" ?”
"Then what reward does Laoba want?" Emperor Huiwen patted Qingyun's hand, and then turned to look at Sima Yue.
Sima Yue was still immersed in the ecstasy of seeing the military chess set. He came back to his senses after hearing Emperor Huiwen's inquiry. He looked at the smiling Qingyun, then secretly glanced at Li Feixue, lowered his head and said: " "My son, my son wants..." But he didn't say what he wanted for a long time.
Looking at Sima Yue who was speechless with excitement, Qingyun sighed secretly, then let go of the hand holding Emperor Huiwen's arm, and knelt down on his knees: "I beg my father for a favor on behalf of my eighth brother!"
"It's okay to say whatever Jiu'er has to say. There's no need to give this courtesy." Emperor Huiwen stretched out his hand to help his beloved daughter up. Emperor Huiwen gave Sima Yue a deep look with a hint of reproach. This old man usually speaks straightforwardly. Why is he speaking so straightforwardly now? Do you want Jiu'er to come forward?
"Thank you, Father!" Qingyun returned to Emperor Huiwen's side, glanced at Li Feixue without revealing any trace, and said with a smile: "Father also knows that Bage has loved studying the art of war since he was a child, and dreams of becoming a great warrior who can protect his family and country. General, I thought it would be better for my father to grant Bage a favor and fulfill Bage's long-cherished wish by allowing him to go to the army to gain experience. I wonder what the emperor's intention is?"
Emperor Huiwen's eyes darkened slightly: "Does Jiu'er know that the royal family has taught that princes are not allowed to hold military power to avoid causing trouble to Xiao Qiang?"
"I know." Qingyun nodded heavily: "But I firmly believe that Ba Ge has no intention of endangering the Sima family!"
After listening to Jiu'er's words, Sima Yue was extremely moved and happy, and said loudly: "My son, I swear that I will never have any intention of harming the Sima family's country in this life, otherwise God will not tolerate it!"
Since ancient times, everyone present knew the importance of oaths, which shows that King Yue was magnanimous.
Sima Rui and Sima Qi looked at Qingyun, their eyes shining brightly.
They didn't expect that Jiu'er would take this opportunity to fulfill his eighth brother's long-cherished wish, which was really beyond their expectations.
Seeing that Emperor Huiwen was still hesitant, Qingyun thought for a while and said: "Shenrui Camp, under the command of General Situ, has always had strict military disciplines and was loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Why don't my father let Bage go to Shenrui Camp to practice and practice? Just a little, Bage We must start from ordinary soldiers. Are you willing, Bage?" The latter sentence is for Sima Yue.
"I am willing!" Sima Yue said loudly.
Emperor Huiwen looked at Qingyun and asked in a voice that only she could hear: "What has Jiu'er thought about?"
Although she didn't understand the meaning of the dim light in her father's eyes when he looked at her, Qingyun still nodded.
"Since Jiu'er asked for this grace on your behalf, I will grant you permission to go to Shenrui Camp in three days." Emperor Huiwen stared at Sima Yue for a moment and said majestically: "But you must remember the oath you just made, otherwise you will live up to it. Do you understand Jiu'er's good intentions?"
"My son, I would like to thank my father for his kindness, and I would like to thank Jiu'er for fulfilling his wish!" Today, Sima Yue's long-cherished wish finally came true, and Sima Yue was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
Looking at the ecstatic Sima Yue, Qingyun was also filled with joy: "Since my father has given Brother Bago the gift of training in the army, why not also give the 'Tianque Sword' to Brother Bago? In this way, Brother Bago can be free at all times. I will always keep my father's teachings in mind, and secondly, I hope that Brother Bage will defend the territory with the sword given by my father, protect the peace of our Jin country, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. What do you think, father?"
After the words fell, everyone was shocked and inexplicable.
Originally, the emperor violated the ancestral rules and obeyed the Ninth Princess' favor to allow King Yue to join the army, which shocked them. Unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess actually wanted the emperor to give the famous ancient sword to King Yue. How could this not shock them?
Sima Chun's face was already so dark that he could cry out. He stared at Qingyun closely. He couldn't believe that she would protect King Yue in this way and even persuade her father to break the ancestral system.
Sima Yue looked at Emperor Huiwen and Qingyun with a look of ecstasy.
It is said that the 'Tianque Sword' and 'Xuexiyi' are treasures of the ancient God of War. The silver sword hilt is inlaid with seven sapphires arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. When it is unsheathed, the sword body glows with a cold blue light. In particular, it can pass through iron by absorbing heat, and can turn water into ice when it encounters cold. The ancient god of war relied on it to traverse the battlefield and was invincible.
Sima Yue is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. He understands that with his fiery and straightforward nature, it may be more suitable to use a sword and a halberd. However, Jiuer asked his father to give him the "Tianque Sword" because he hoped that he could be tempered to be calm and restrained in the army. some.
Because Jiuer once said that if you want to become an invincible and invincible general, you must not only be familiar with the art of war and tactics, but also know how to apply what you have learned, from overall plans and strategies to specific methods. The general must have a clear understanding of the situation and deployment, which requires the general to maintain a clear and alert mind at all times, be resourceful, and have a calm and calm temperament when encountering difficulties, and these are all his shortcomings.
"You kid!" Emperor Huiwen smiled and gently scratched Qingyun's pretty nose: "That's all, I'll just do what you say."
After saying that, he glanced at Leng Yi, who left immediately, and soon came back with a long brocade box and handed it to Sima Yue.
Holding the brocade box in both hands, Sima Yue was so excited that he almost forgot where he was. A smile as bright as a star appeared on his handsome face. It wasn't until Sima Rui coughed lightly that he came back to his senses and said loudly: "My lord." I will live up to my father's expectations, serve the country with passion and loyalty, and never let the enemy enter our Jin territory!"
