Chapter 794: Third Prince, You Must Follow Your Husband's Lead
Until more than half a year ago, the Regent King was under the control of the Emperor and dared not do anything that was not in the interests of the Emperor. So when Quan Qingcheng proposed to recruit the Ye Family Army again and form an independent army, with one part led by General Dark Night and General White Day, and the other part handed over to the Third Prince, the Regent King did not dare to harbor selfish motives even if he was not happy in his heart. He did not dare to refuse explicitly, but only explained the pros and cons. Seeing that Quan Qingcheng's rebuttal was well-reasoned, he could only go along with him.
So Quan Qingcheng transferred 200,000 of the 300,000 troops under the old general's command the night before to Quan Qingyun in one go, which made the regent very angry.
Hearing Ye Qingtong mention this, Quan Qingyun laughed angrily, "What's the matter? Are you still thinking about the Ye Family Army?"
"I am concerned, but not in the way you think. I was thinking, if you are training troops in the suburbs of Beijing, could you take me over to have a look? I have read a lot of military books and battle formations recently, and I know a lot about the theories, but not much about the practices. If Your Highness can take me around the military camp and let me practice, then Your Highness will be my great benefactor."
Quan Qingyun shook his head at that time, "Nonsense! Women are never allowed to enter the military camp. Besides, how can you use those jokey military books and formations to practice with soldiers? They are soldiers who have fought in the battlefield and killed the enemy with blood on their hands. Who can listen to you?"
As he spoke, he held up a bronze mirror for Ye Qingtong to look at. "Look at Second Miss Ye's face. Don't you know how popular Second Miss Ye was in the Ye family? Don't you know how much your grandfather hated her? Don't you know what her reputation is in the capital? With a face like this, how dare you meet the Ye family army? They can scold you back with just one word!"
"It's not that serious!" Ye Qingtong pushed the bronze mirror away. "I know that my face is not popular, but I have a good personality. As long as they can give me some time to get along with me, I believe they will like me. Besides, I am not fooling around, and those military books of mine are not a joke. They are all left by my grandfather and my father, and I looted them from Prince Su's Mansion.
In short, they are all useful things, and coupled with my photographic memory, I think I can contribute to the team you lead, so that you can lead them to greater glory."
Quan Qingyun simply couldn't explain it to her, "Anyway, it's not possible. No matter how hard you try, it won't work."
"Why not?" Ye Qingtong argued, "Is it because I am the second young lady of the Ye family, not the second young master of the Ye family? Your Highness, let me ask you, if it was my second brother who came to talk to you about this, would you dare to say no?"
Quan Qingyun thought that even if your second brother came, it would still not work!
But then he thought, if it was really Ye Feizhou who came to him to talk, he might not be able to shake his head. After all, there was nothing that the kid had to work with him for since he was a child, and he had succeeded in everything. He has experience! Quan Qingyun kept silent, and Ye Qingtong was happy, "Look, let me talk! I don't have anyone to back me up now, so I can't do anything, and I am blocked from saying anything. If my second brother was here, would I have to waste my breath on this? Besides, my second brother went to help Yan'er, so shouldn't you, the Third Prince, help me!"
Quan Qingyun didn't understand this logic, "Why should I help you just because your second brother went to help Ye Wenyan?"
"Because from a certain perspective, I am also Ye Wenyan! Don't you have to follow your husband's lead?"
"Shut your mouth right now!" Quan Qingyun felt that this damn girl was simply testing him madly on the edge of collapse.
The husband sings and the wife follows? Haha, why did he inexplicably remember the time when someone called him "Second Sister-in-law" a long time ago?
How are the statuses divided in the family? Isn't it so obvious?
"Okay, what do you want to do in the military camp?" In order to prevent Ye Qingtong from saying something inappropriate again, he decided to take her to the military camp. Just treat it as taking care of the child, otherwise what should he do?
Ye Qingtong was very happy. "I won't do anything out of the ordinary. I don't even need to go into the camp. I'll just trouble the Third Prince to set up a tent for me outside the camp. I'll move in with my military books and formations and live there for a while. I can just watch the soldiers training from afar on weekdays. Of course, if the Third Prince thinks that I'm good at studying military tactics and is willing to let me practice, that would be even better."
Quan Qingyun understood, thinking that this might be the military spirit of the Ye family. Regardless of whether they were men or women, most people had a fascinated passion for leading troops to fight. The fourth Miss Ye must have been obsessed with studying military tactics and felt that it was boring to talk about military tactics on paper, so she wanted to go to the camp to actually practice.
Actually, it was not impossible. He could set up a tent for her outside so that she would not live in the camp and send some people to protect her. It would not be a big problem. Besides, he was planning to live in the camp for a while recently, so he could take care of her.
Since it wasn't a big deal, he would just fulfill her wish and save her from making trouble. He really couldn't stand her mouth. She was indeed the witch of the Ye family. The rumors about the fourth young lady of Ye in the inner city of Lin'an were not groundless.
Forget it, just go if you want to. If by chance she really manages to figure out one or two unique formations, it would be a contribution to the court and would not bring disgrace to the Ye family.
The situation in the court is tense now. The regent who has been quiet for more than half a year has started to stir again in the past few days. Although the news of the emperor's accident has not spread widely, some rumors have been heard vaguely. He tried his best to control the spread of the news and took some countermeasures, such as reverse transmission, saying that nothing happened in Wu'anhai and everything was calm.
But the heavy snowstorm in the summer still made people prefer to believe in a disaster rather than believe that everything was safe and sound.
He always had a premonition that as the emperor was about to take power, the regent would soon abdicate and usurp the throne.
"Go back and pack your things, and follow me to the camp tomorrow."
"Okay!" Ye Qingtong was overjoyed and skipped away holding Xiangdong's hand.
Quan Qingyun looked at her happy back and thought of Ye Feizhou who was far away in Suyuan. Although these children of the Ye family were not born by the same grandfather, they all had similarities in their bones. For example, their stubborn temper and their determination to never give up until they achieved their goals were the same from Ye Feizhou to Ye Qingtong to Ye Wenyan and even to Ye Chulian.
Only the eldest daughter of the Ye family is relatively gentle, but after more than half a year of "team combat", there is not much gentleness left.
Pingyang entered the room and asked, "What on earth is Miss Ye Er here for?"
Quan Qingyun told the truth: "Let me take her to the military camp to gain some experience."
"Hiss!" Pingyang gasped, "This Second Miss Ye is really brave. Why would a woman like her go to a military camp? Could it be because the 200,000 soldiers in your command were all former soldiers of the Ye family? Is she going there to chat?"
Thinking about it again, "That's not right! The Fourth Miss Ye should be the one to talk about family matters. What does it have to do with the Second Miss Ye? In the past, General Ye didn't like this granddaughter, and the army only recognized the Fourth Miss Ye. If she goes over now, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Not only will the conversation not be family matters, but people might also think she is talking about family matters."
"Not necessarily." Quan Qingyun smiled. There were some things he knew but Pingyang didn't. There was no such thing as the Second Miss Ye. The one who just left was actually the Second Miss Ye in a shell but had changed into the Fourth Miss Ye. Didn't the soldiers in the army recognize the Fourth Miss Ye? I heard that when General Ye was alive, he had taken his favorite fourth granddaughter to the military camp to show off.
The witch of the Ye family, as everyone in Lin'an City calls her, is like a mascot in the Ye family army and is one of the key factors in General Ye's victory.
He suddenly took over such a large team, and even with the blessing of his royal status, the generals in the Ye family army were not completely convinced by him. Not only was he not convinced, but the rumors about him and Ye Feizhou made General Ye very embarrassed. The old general scolded him in the barracks, so that almost everyone in the Ye family army, from generals to soldiers, was annoyed by him.
He was just worrying about how to resolve this awkward situation when Ye Qingtong came over. Perhaps this would be a breakthrough. Whether he could subdue the Ye family army would probably depend on Ye Qingtong.
"Let's go to the camp." Quan Qingyun called Pingyang and strode out.
Training soldiers in the camp is hard work. Quan Qingyun also has government affairs to assist the emperor in handling, so it is impossible for him to be in the camp twelve hours a day. Therefore, the work of training soldiers is mostly done by the deputy general of the army.
The teams led by the generals of the Ye family are of high quality. Even if there is no one to train them, they will not slack off at all.
This is the quality of the Ye Family Army, and it is also a habit that has been developed over many years with General Ye. Even if the old soldiers retire or die, new soldiers will fill in and integrate into the army in the shortest possible time and get used to it.
Quan Qingyun stayed there for half a day and a night, and the next morning he ordered Pingyang to pick up Ye Qingtong. At the same time, he also ordered people to set up a tent outside the camp for Ye Qingtong to live in.
The people who set up the tent were the guards he brought from the palace. Guards were different from soldiers. Soldiers followed military discipline and law, and the guards of the Prince Ren's Palace only served him. He could let his guards set up Ye Qingtong's tent, but he never thought of asking the soldiers to do it.
In fact, the Ye family army saw everything, including Quan Qingyun's diet and daily life, as well as the government affairs he had to deal with. He brought people from the Renwang Palace with him, and tried not to trouble the army if possible.
When it comes to handling official business, all the people brought from Renwang Palace will leave their tents and refuse to listen to another word.
In fact, the Ye family army knew it in their hearts. Although the old general always scolded the third prince in the past, he also said that among the princes of the Quan family, only the third prince could be taken up in Beijing and was a figure. As for the others, humph, it is better not to mention them.
