Chapter 20, Female Guards (Part 2)
...
"Yes, Minister! We know how to do it!"
...
King Yu Mansion
"Your Highness, the princess in power has set a precedent in history.
As a princess, he received real power rewards.
Even His Highness and the Prince do not have such an honor, although His Highness has never cared about the world.
But those who achieve great things are not limited to the details. Why don’t your Highness find a way to pull them into our camp?
Once you win successfully, the chances of winning will be greatly increased. It can be said that the chance of increasing by half is not an exaggeration."
Although King Yu tried his best to win over Xiao Jingxin, he still had no confidence.
"It's so weak, not only you have thought about it, but I have thought about it, I believe the East Palace has thought about it too.
But you don’t know me, a little girl. Although she is a woman, she looks soft and weak, but has a stubborn personality.
If she said she would not participate, she would not be able to participate.
If it weren't for her character, would you think the father would be confident in making her the princess in power?
Moreover, after being named the princess in power, my younger sister went to Wuying Hall more than once, just to refuse the reward.
Unfortunately, the father still did not take back his life in the end.
First, it shows that the father's reassurance is revealed, and it also shows that the father's favor for her.
But the father...
If she dared to participate in the battle for the throne between me and the prince, I think my father would abolish her without hesitation.
The little sister is a smart person, even among all our princes and princesses.
So, the chance of winning her over is zero."
...
East Palace
"Your Highness, do you have a way to win over Your Highness the Princess in power to the Eastern Palace camp?
Although His Highness the Princess does not participate in the world, the Three Kingdoms still have three visits to the cottage.
The efforts and gains correspond to each other. Once successful, I believe that your Highness’s determination to defeat King Yu will greatly increase.”
Xie Yu, dressed in black, suggested that he was in the East Palace at this time.
"Mr. Marquis, there is no need to hold on to the fantasy of the little sister. Not to mention three visits, even thirty visits or three hundred visits are impossible.
We cannot succeed, and we cannot succeed. You are not unfamiliar with your younger sister's personality, so why bother to deceive yourself?
Instead of having that energy, let’s think of other ways.
It’s good for the little sister to do this. At least no matter how favored she is, we princes are competing for throne, so there is no need to worry about who she prefers.”
...
Zhilo Palace
Concubine Jing, King Jing, and Xiao Jingxin all had a meal here to eat.
Looking at Wenwen Jingjing and the thin and weak Xiao Jingxin, Concubine Jing felt more and more that the cheap daughter she raised was not simple.
Even if tomorrow suddenly announces that she, a woman, will inherit the position of prince, perhaps she will be shocked for a moment.
"Jingxin, congratulations, before you knew it, you have reached such a height.
I am enjoying an unprecedented honor, and my mother is really happy for you."
"Yes, little sister, I didn't expect that my father would actually give you the title of the princess in power.
Having one hundred guards, to a certain extent, you have a small army.
The princess has her own army, unprecedented.
These guards must be carefully selected to ensure their loyalty and protect your safety."
Xiao Jingxin, who was eating, swallowed the rice in the bowl with voracious food, swallowed it a few bites, and put down the chopsticks.
"Mother, Brother Wang, it's okay if others congratulate you, there's no need for you to bury me.
I am worried that I will be scolded by others to harm the country and the people.
The main reason is that I didn't do anything, it was very unfair.
But who can tell the royal affairs accurately? Today I am glorious, what about tomorrow?
Don’t be arrogant when you succeed. Whether it is the royal descendants or the people in the world, it is the same.
So, I'd better stay in the princess's house honestly.
The selection of guards has ended, and I am too lazy to manage it.
Let them play their own way, their destiny is determined by heaven, and they cannot be controlled by others at all.
Could it be that God destined me to die in the third quarter of the year, and I would delay until the fifth quarter of the year because of the existence of the guards?
By the way, Brother Wang, in a few days, I will go and select guards.
Brother Wang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Can you follow me then?
Help me choose some more powerful guards.”
Xiao Jingyan: "Haha, okay, I will follow you at that time.
And I am not an expert among them. If my younger sister speaks, I believe Commander Meng would not mind helping me.
And your Majesty sent Xia Dongzhang to you.
This person has good martial arts skills.”
"Brother Wang, don't mind. Xia Dong hasn't talked to you for a long time?"
"I am a great man, what are you calculating about with her?"
"Yes, there is no need for that!"
...
A few days later
Outside the gate of the imperial palace in Jinling City, there is a temporary recruitment site, and many people are here.
Xiao Jingxin, Meng Zhi, Mu Nihuang, Xia Dong, and Xiao Jingyan are all here.
"Greetings to the prince, Princess, Princess, General Meng."
Everyone else looked at Xiao Jingxin and asked her to speak.
I had no choice but to step forward: "No need to be polite, I am Xiao Jingxin, you all gathered here, and I must have known about recruiting soldiers.
This recruitment is an unprecedented initiative for Your Majesty to set a precedent for his military service.
It is purely the guards of this palace. There have never been female soldiers since ancient times. Therefore, the ones you joined are also the first batch of female soldiers since ancient times.
If a woman joins the army, perhaps in the next few decades, or even a hundred years later, if you perform no worse than a male soldier, you may have the chance to go to the battlefield.
Once you go to the battlefield, you can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, defend your country, and those who have outstanding contributions will be granted a title of marquis and generals, and it is not impossible to glorify your ancestors.
Therefore, there is no need for you to worry about going to the battlefield and dying in a foreign land.
I don’t know if it’s your honor or misfortune.
But as long as you perform no worse than male soldiers, I believe that the father will popularize female soldiers.
Have you seen this next to me? I believe you know Princess Nihuang, who is also a woman.
However, she is as good as a man, commanding 100,000 cavalry, majestic as she suppresses Nan Chu and breathes.
He was even granted the title of Marquis and was appointed as a First-rank Military Marquis by his father.
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes.
If you can prove that female soldiers are not inferior to male soldiers, we women are not inferior to men.
Then everything is full of possibilities. Who will know what will happen in the long river of history?
Of course, the treatment you care more about is that the guards entering our palace are all sisters. The treatment of this palace promises that it will not be worse than that of male soldiers.
After all, I have a princess’s mansion in this palace, and it is more than enough to raise you hundred people.
Okay, I'm done with this. If you are interested, you can come up and register.
The quota given by the father was 100, and with Sister Xia Dong, who is this, who is very skilled in martial arts and a hero among women, only ninety-nine people are needed this time.
After you register together, I will ask Sister Xia Dong to train you. The ninety-nine people who will support you will be the guards this time."
