The next morning, Shi Sheng met the leader of the so-called surprise troops.
It was a man wearing a strange mask. Just as Shi Sheng was crossing out ten lines at a glance with her royal quill, he jumped in through the window. The little bird from yesterday was still perched on his shoulder.
"Chirp chirp chirp!!"
Both sides were still talking when the bird suddenly jumped up and complained to the masked man.
The man reached out to comfort the bird, and the bird's chirping finally quieted down.
Shi Sheng crossed out the last few memorials, threw the pen away, and looked at the masked man.
"Your Majesty." The masked man walked to Shi Sheng and knelt down on one knee. Although he was kneeling, he was neither servile nor overbearing. He had the demeanor of a general.
"You are the leader of the surprise troops?"
"Yes." The masked man did not waste any time.
Shi Sheng nodded and rummaged through the table. "I have a mission for you."
The masked man looked up. "Your Majesty, didn't you call me here to ask about what happened in the past?"
"I will decide whether to believe you after you complete the mission." Shi Sheng found an envelope under the memorials. "The mission is inside. Take a look."
The bird flew over the masked man's shoulder and caught the envelope with its beak. Who knew that the masked man would not let go? The bird was almost knocked down by his strength.
The bird was speechless.
Shi Sheng looked at it playfully. The bird fluttered in the air and seemed to want to pounce on him.
It took a while for the bird to get the envelope from Shi Sheng. The masked man did not show any emotion. He just watched the bird and Shi Sheng compete.
The masked man was so calm, but after opening the envelope, his mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty, are you kidding?" She actually asked them to attack the Shu Kingdom.
Although the masked men were confident in their own strength, they still needed the cooperation of the other armies. If they could take down a country with just the few of them, wouldn't they have already declared themselves kings? Why would they need to do it here?
"I will send people to help you."
The masked man immediately analyzed, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but Shu Country is too far away from Feng Luan. We still need to pass through Kaiyang Country. If you want to test our strength, you can choose Kaiyang Country, which is closer to Feng Luan."
Shi Sheng tapped the table with his fingertips. "I want the Kingdom of Shu."
The masked man put the letter back into the envelope. "I want absolute command. If Your Majesty has no problem, please prepare sufficient provisions and troops. We will meet at the city gate at noon ten days later."
The masked man cupped his hands and left through the window with the valiant bird before Shi Sheng could say anything.
The Shi Sheng had no objection to the fact that the commander did not represent the military power. The Shi Sheng ordered all the soldiers to listen to them.
These people's military power had been given to them by the Shi Sheng. They were not strong enough yet, so they could only listen to the Shi Sheng.
As for the other matters, it was handed over to Ling Yi to handle.
After Shi Sheng received a round of angry scolding from the old royalist officials, he unexpectedly received a report from a palace maid that His Highness was outside the palace.
Chen Bei, who had never stepped out of the palace since the wedding, actually took the initiative to look for her?
There was something going on!
No, there was something going on!
"Let him in."
Chen Bei was wearing the phoenix robe that represented His Highness. He was escorted into the magnificent palace by a group of people.
The original phoenix robe was somewhat feminine. Not only were the sleeves wide, but there was also a long section at the back. If one only looked at the back, one would not be able to tell that the robe belonged to a man.
As Shi Sheng did not want Chen Bei to be dressed too feminine, the phoenix robe had been changed. Because of this, she was scolded by the royalists for several days. They were so angry that they had to change the robe.
"You may leave." Shi Sheng waved them away.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the imperial study. Chen Bei carried the heavy robe up the stairs and stood a meter away from Shi Sheng. He looked straight at her. "You want to attack the Kingdom of Shu?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Shi Sheng blinked and waved him over. "Come over and I will tell you."
Chen Bei hesitated for a moment, then went up the stairs and stood beside her.
However, Shi Sheng pulled him to sit down. Chen Bei was shocked and wanted to get up, but Shi Sheng held his waist tightly.
"This is the dragon chair …"
"That is also a chair. Isn't it for people to sit on?"
Chen Bei: "…" He suddenly understood why he heard people say that she was being scolded by the ministers every day.
Chen Bei watched as she casually crossed out the memorials. Others had written so many things, but she did not even look at them. She just crossed them out. He really did not know how she dealt with political affairs.
Shi Sheng could not be bothered to read these long speeches. When it came to the morning court, she would cross out all the memorials that were handed to her. Sometimes, she would even be too lazy to cross them and return them as they were.
Now that the ministers had figured out this pattern, there were not many memorials that were handed to her.
It could be seen from the fact that the table in front of Shi Sheng was not very messy.
"Why attack the Kingdom of Shu?" Chen Bei's gaze swept across the memorials. Some talked about national affairs, the people's livelihood, and some talked about the ministers' family matters.
"I didn't give you a betrothal gift when we got married. Now, I'll give you the Kingdom of Shu as a betrothal gift." Shi Sheng threw away the pen, closed the memorials, and threw them aside. He leaned against Chen Bei's neck and rubbed against it.
Chen Bei frowned. "I don't want the Kingdom of Shu."
Shi Sheng began to touch him dishonestly. He bit his earlobe and whispered, "Then what do you want? I'll give you whatever you want. "
The scorching heat beside his ear made Chen Bei turn his head away unnaturally. However, his gaze swept to a certain spot on the table. His gaze paused slightly, and his body leaned back slightly. He leaned against the back of the chair, allowing Shi Sheng to lie on top of him. "You can really give me anything."
"When have I ever lied to you?" Shi Sheng kissed his lips and said in amusement.
Chen Bei pointed. "I want that."
Shi Sheng looked in the direction of the thing he was pointing at, then looked back at him strangely. "What do you want that thing for? Can it be eaten? "
"Are you going to give it to me or not?"
Shi Sheng got down from his body and carried the box containing the imperial jade seal over. He placed it beside him. "Here."
This thing was dead heavy and ugly. What was so good about it?
Ever since King Yu returned, she had not moved. Even the imperial edict conferring him was casually written without a seal. It had been placed here all this time, and it was almost covered in dust.
[…] The imperial jade seal, big brother! This was the imperial jade seal! Do you think it's a broken stone?
To Shi Sheng, this was just a broken stone. It was not even as useful as a sword.
Iron Sword: "…" I don't know if I should be proud or proud at this moment.
Chen Bei glanced at Shi Sheng, who looked at him with a doting expression. He calmed his heart, opened the box outside, and reached out to take out the imperial jade seal.
Shi Sheng looked at him and said, "It's true. Don't worry."
"You … Are you really going to give it to me? "Chen Bei asked worriedly. This was not an ordinary item. Sometimes, the imperial jade seal was even more important than a crown prince.
In history, there were examples of people ascending the throne by obtaining the imperial jade seal.
Shi Sheng's face was full of indifference. "If you like it, then take it and play with it. I'll make a bunch for you next time."
Chen Bei: "…"
