Chapter 486.2: Unusual Activity Prior to War

The others looked to one another and can be considered to have understood Le Cheng Emperor’s meaning. However, it’s no wonder the Head of the Inner Cabinet was highly regarded by his Majesty, ‘skillfully dancing with long sleeves’, clever and smooth on all sides, having extraordinary abilities. Moreover, he was also very skillful at figuring out his Majesty’s thoughts. This kind of person, there was a reason why others weren’t able to compare with easily.
The current Wu’an Marquis was paralyzed on the bed. During the holidays and other festivities, ‘the bestowments that should be given’ have never been lacking. However, Le Cheng Emperor for the most part never summoned him. To put it nicely, it was just considering for the Wu’an Marquis, but no one from the marquis manor has ever been summoned before either. Never mind Fu Yun Ting, this heir, the womenfolk of the back manor have also never once been summoned by the Empress before. Was this the treatment that the descendants of meritorious subjects should have?
When the palace attendants found Fu Yun Ting, he was still unclear as to the reason why, but afterwards, that inner court attendant smilingly congratulated him, briefly explaining the situation.
Fu Yun Ting was surprised, but in the depths of his heart, he also produced a kind of ‘as expected’ feeling, even strangely relaxing inside. However, although it was said that he was recommended by the Head Cabinet Minister, the figure that appeared in Fu Yun Ting’s mind was nevertheless Jin Qinwang. As for what kind of relationship the Head Cabinet Minister that was only loyal to the emperor had with Jin Qinwang, he didn’t go think about. Knowing it afraid wasn’t anything good. Moreover, it in itself also didn’t have anything to do with him.
Fu Yun Ting entered the palace. If placed in the past, he would even hide his clumsiness and appropriately put on an appearance of an unremarkable wastrel. Right now, what Fu Yun Ting displayed was completely himself. At the very least, he needed to let people feel that he was worthy to put faith into.
The battlefield was fill with constant changes, very much dangerous, but for the Wu’an Marquis Manor, it was an opportunity, although it was very likely for it to be an even more dangerous path, because the imperial family’s attitude towards the Wu’an Marquis Manor was truly too strange. Even if there was just the old, weak, and disabled left, they still didn’t get let off. Without sufficient military achievements protecting them, they will only perish even faster. And military achievements were usually obtained using the Fu family members’ lives in exchange, and right now, more precisely, it was Fu Ying Ting’s life.
“This subject, Fu Yun Ting, pays respect to your Majesty, may your Majesty live for thousand upon thousands of years.”
Le Cheng Emperor’s gaze heavily landed on Fu Yun Ting, sizing him up. No matter who, all was able to tell that Le Cheng Emperor’s mood was a bit strange. It wasn’t the kind of joy from seeing a young talented youth, but rather something indescribable. The entire court all sunk into silence. Fu Yun Ting quietly knelt there on one knee, his brows and eyes lowered.

After a long silence, “Good, as expected of the Fu family’s son. Sure enough, extraordinary valiant. Confer the Wu’an Marquis heir as the high first rank Zhenguo General, and appoint as the main commander against the Xiongnu in the northwest. In a few days, lead an army of thirty thousand towards the northwest to quickly stabilize the borders and take back the territories Qi Yuan lost.” Le Cheng Emperor instantly made the final decision.
(T/N: Zhenguo is just the title, meaning to stabilize the country.)
Testing and whatnot, there was none, just that carelessly making the decision.
As such, even Ruan Rui Zhong, as the ‘recommender’, all couldn’t help but inwardly frown. Looks like, what Jin Qinwang said was right. His Majesty’s attitude towards the Wu’an Marquis Manor was even worse than imagined. This wasn’t just ‘the accomplishments overshadowing the ruler’, that simple. After all, the Fu family’s contributions were already in the past. The Wu’an Marquis Manor right now really didn’t have anything worth guarding against, yet from his Majesty’s behavior, this completely wasn’t the case. Although, in the majority of people’s view, his Majesty regarded the Wu’an Marquis Manor exceptionally highly.
“Thanking your Majesty for the great honor. This subject will not let down your Majesty’s hopes.” Something that others were all able to make out, Fu Yun Ting naturally was able to make out as well, accepting very calmly.
Without reason or cause, where would the limitless honor and favor come from? Once it exceeded the limit, it was just ‘killing by flattering’.
Shortly after, Le Cheng Emperor appointed a few young officers, yet it was completely different from the previously aforementioned deputy generals. Youth signified hot-bloodedness and diligence, but it also signified impulsiveness and recklessness, unwilling to comply with orders. The borders were in a dire situation right now, yet his Majesty’s conduct was practically just like child’s play.
However, Le Cheng Emperor was full of excuses. These were all the pillars of Qi Yuan. He believed in them, and they certainly will be able to wonderfully repel the enemy.
For a bunch of people that for the most part have never came in contact with war, even if having learned many things before, that was still just theories on paper. Without veterans leading them, and their first battlefield being this, this already wasn’t the problem of whether one believed in them or not. Many people felt it was inappropriate, but just when they were about to open their mouth, Le Cheng Emperor directly stood up, “The matters will be decided as such. The arrangements for the army provisions will be handed to the Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of War. Kang Qinwang, Gong Qinwang, and Rui Qinwang will jointly assist. Court dismissed.”
Clearly in the beginning the atmosphere was still that heavy, and everyone all knew how pressing the matter was, yet in just this bit of time, the matter was just over with, only making people feel that it was taken lightly. To say it was a strong start but a weak finish wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Even Le Cheng Emperor’s sons all furrowed their brows, unable to dispel their doubts, successively looking for the Head Cabinet Minister, hoping that he can give them a satisfying answer.
However, Ruan Rui Zhong similarly was covered in a haze, so naturally had them brushed off.
In a place not noticed by anyone, Ruan Rui Zhong and Luo Pei Shan shared a glance, their hands moving, reaching a tacit understanding.
After the two high-ranking ministers returned home, they just looked for the person Jin Qinwang left in their manor. With the current situation, if they don’t meet with Jin Qinwang, it’ll be difficult to feel at ease.
However, originally it was just letting Jin Qinwang make preparations, and arrange the time to meet, yet unexpectedly, it was just a matter of seconds, seemingly as if Jin Qinwang had already predicted that they wanted to meet him.
Dressed in casual clothes, not even putting on a disguise, they went out just like that, and their respective horse carriage, just that coincidentally ran into Yu Zhong Qing who was about to leave the city. Yu Zhong Qing was under the emperor’s orders to pass on a verbal decree to Jin Qinwang. The two ministers couldn’t help but tense up inside, their palms sweating. However, shortly after, they discovered that this Commander of the Imperial Guards unexpectedly, intentionally or otherwise, covered for them, and afterwards, just that easily, without attracting any attention, they left the city, directly heading towards Jin Qinwang’s estate.
After reaching the estate, when the two were still hesitating whether or not to climb down from the carriage, Yu Zhong Qing nevertheless opened his mouth first outside, “This lower official currently plans on meeting with wangye, does Sir Ruan and Sir Luo want to come along with this lower official?”
This was already calling out their names, so they naturally didn’t have anymore misgivings, climbing down from the horse carriage. The three sides greeted one another with a tacit understanding inside, even inwardly thinking ‘as expected of Jin Qinwang’. Just, there was no need to declare this with the mouth.
Mu An personally led the way, taking the secret path, even able to clearly hear the clamor coming from the horse tracks.
It was still that private room that Li Hong Yuan shared with his brothers, just at this time, there was just Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan inside. That’s right, Jing Wan was also present.
Seeing Jing Wan, never mind Ruan Rui Zhong, even Luo Pei Shan was quite surprised. Rather, it was Yu Zhong Qing that was the most calm.
Jing Wan also didn’t know what her husband was thinking, challenging the court officials tolerance as such. Thus, she could only maintain a smile, quietly sitting there, displaying a profound and mysterious manner.
“Have a seat. ———First tell this prince, before and after appointing Fu Yun Ting as the main commander, what reaction did imperial father have?”
Jin Qinwang’s behavior has always been hard to figure out. Since he already asked, they naturally can’t stall. The three of them separately gave their answers from their own perspectives. And Yu Zhong Qing who maintained the closest distance with Le Cheng Emperor, at the same time, also saw a bit more after court dismissed, so he was able to explain even clearer.
Everything converging together was just one words: ‘Abnormal.’
Li Hong Yuan momentarily fell silent. In other words, the reason behind the imperial family’s strange attitude towards the Wu’an Marquis Manor, perhaps only the successive Emperors of Qi Yuan knew. Then, more precisely, it should be Qi Yuan Emperors’ strange attitude towards the Wu’an Marquis Manor. To say there wasn’t a reason here, who would believe.
“What about the deputy general? Who was appointed?”
“His Majesty didn’t appoint a deputy general, just appointing a few officers.”
Li Hong Yuan lightly scoffed. In the past life, he for better or worse still tried to cover it up a little, properly appointing a deputy general. However, it wasn’t hard to understand. In the past life, the Wu’an Marquis had already died, and Fu Yun Ting and Jing Wan had just married. The Fu Yun Ting at that time was already decaying. But at present? The Wu’an Marquis Manor was still fine, and Fu Yun Ting had a son, his spirit high. It’s no wonder that one on the throne couldn’t conceal his abnormality anymore.
