165. Heaven is humane
King Shuo returned safely, so that the hundred officials who gathered outside the military tent to wait for the court meeting were surprised, and there were many discussions, seeing that the time had passed, but the herald had not yet gone out of the tent to announce the entry of hundreds of officials into the account, and began today's court meeting.
It is said that now the Empress Dowager is separately summoning Xiao Tang, the king of Shuo, and Dugu, the governor of Xiangzhou, to discuss the tent, and the officials have speculated that the empress dowager intends to choose one of these two to become the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition.
Whether it is Xiao Tang, the king of Shuo, or the old general Dugu Hui, they are all excellent generals with outstanding achievements in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but they don't know that they can be loved by the empress dowager and can be appointed to become the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition.
Almost everyone in the queue of hundreds of officials began to talk to each other, and the crowd was restless, but from time to time they also looked at Dugu Xin, the eldest grandson of the Dugu family, and several horse governors who had recently been "in the limelight", as if they wanted to spy on one or two from the demeanor of several people.
Judging from the table of the past few days, in addition to speculating about who the position of generalissimo is, the actions of several horse governors have naturally become the focus of attention.
First participated in the group beating incident and was demoted to the rank of halberd leader, and then successively wrote letters to ask for war, all kinds of actions, so that some officials in the court and the central government did not laugh at these horses, and looked at each other differently, but most of them still held a wait-and-see attitude, and privately discussed that several horse governors were suspected of grandstanding, but they never showed it on the surface, and they still greeted each other with a smile when they saw several horse governors, pretending to be polite.
No, as soon as I saw that several horse governors came to participate in the court meeting one after another, the sharp-eyed people immediately understood that the empress dowager was really gracious to several horse governors, and even if she made a mistake and was punished, wouldn't she be reinstated in a few days?
A few horses just arrived outside the tent not long after, they were gradually surrounded by a group of people in the center, all kinds of admiration and admiration poured out without hesitation, among which the most boastful, should be the second horse and the third horse, after all, the empress dowager allowed these two horses to go out with the army, and when they returned to the dynasty with the military merit, it was a rare honor and favor, and the official was added!
I don't like this kind of entertainment, so I finally got out of it, found a corner to avoid and waited for the court, glanced at the circle of people who were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I can't help but look at the military tent, the tent has long been put down, and there are forbidden troops around it to strictly guard, in this noisy atmosphere there is a little more majesty and oppression, and the hand holding the elephant wat does not feel slightly tight......
I am very curious about the dialogue between the Empress Dowager and the two brave generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, because this dialogue will determine the future fate of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this account will also be recorded in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty An important meeting between monarchs and ministers, but no one knows what the three people in the account said, and the final result of the discussion will be announced in the court meeting.
Looking up at the sky, a little light gradually came out of the darkness, the night was about to pass, and the dawn would finally come.
The Northern Wei Dynasty will step by step into its established track, conform to the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and complete its rightful mission.
Success or failure, just look at the present!
......
"The big colt impressed the letter again last night. ”
I don't know when, Dugu Xin has already stood three steps away from me, still handsome and elegant, calm and relaxed.
My eyes suddenly froze, and I don't know when he stood here, but he never realized that such a mysterious ability, if he wanted to kill someone, it could really be said that he would kill people invisibly.
"Brother Dugu is polite, Gao Chen also saw your skills and means last night, which is really an eye-opener!"
Such strange people and strange things are under his command for him to send, it can be seen that Dugu Xin's skills must be more terrifying than those people.
"The big pony is really loved and hated sometimes, and I suddenly regret letting the big pony live to this day. ”
Dugu Xin still had a gentle smile on his face, but the words he said were not so gentle.
I snorted lightly and said:
"Gao Chen is really a little flattered to let Brother Dugu miss him so much! If Brother Dugu regrets it, it's not too late to do it now!"
Dugu Xin looked at me indifferently, as if he was not afraid, he fiddled with the mutton fat jade wrench on his thumb, the smile on his face was still there, and said:
"Don't worry, if you want to take the life of the big horse, it's as easy as a hand, but before taking the life of the big horse, the letter must first let the big horse lose convincingly. ”
When I heard this, I laughed but didn't say anything.
Dugu Xin always thought that he was the cat that played with the rat in the palm of his hand, and there was never anything he wanted to conquer but couldn't!
He's a rare strategist, and I've been fighting for my life almost every time I've played with him, but he's been able to get out of the way every time, and that's why he hasn't been able to defeat me outright every time.
Without the bravery and consciousness of breaking the cauldron and fighting to the end, there is no way to completely defeat the opponent who fights with his life at the end of the strong crossbow!
"If you want Gao Chen to lose the heart, then Brother Dugu has to use his real skills. ”
There was some sarcasm in my casual tone, but Dugu Xin didn't care, but became more interested.
"Every time the big horse goes through danger, it depends on the help of nobles, which makes the letter quite emotional. ”
Dugu Xin's tone was tentative, and it was obvious that he had already noticed the reason why I was so "blessed" and able to escape through danger......
"In this way, in this game, Brother Dugu has admitted defeat?"
Listening to my sarcasm, Dugu Xin sighed slightly and said:
"One win, one loss and one draw, it's a letter to underestimate the big horse. ”
"It's good to say, since it is considered a draw, then the next game will divide the winners and losers, but in this next game, Gao Chen will take the lead in black, and Brother Dugu has to be careful!"
The corners of my mouth twitched, and a meaningful smile appeared.
Dugu Xin's eyes narrowed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually dissipated, indifferent like him, there will also be a moment of condensation of expression, which shows that his mood at this moment cannot be as dull as usual.
The rat that has been played with by himself has already grown sharp teeth, and there will be a day when he bites his tiger's mouth, which is really a tiger relic!
Now Gao Chen is finally qualified to be his opponent!
Dugu Xin smiled suddenly, but the smile on his face was so gloomy and terrifying......
"Are you so confident that King Shuo can take the position of generalissimo?"
Dugu Xin's question is inevitably a bit excessive, since King Shuo has returned safely, coupled with the Empress Dowager's iron-fisted methods, the answer to this question is probably more obvious.
"Brother Dugu already knows it, so why do you need to ask again?"
......
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the crowd had changed from noisy and chaotic at the beginning, to relatively calm, it seemed that the topics that could be chatted with each other could no longer arouse the interest of the people around them, or the waiting body was sore, and the words were dry, so that the big guys gradually tended to stand quietly in place, listening to others, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, just like this, there was nothing to say, and the crowd gradually became quiet.
Inside the tent, the figure of the herald squeezed out of the huge curtain that had been pushed open, and immediately, the forbidden army standing nearby immediately walked over and opened the curtain, and the herald's high-pitched voice came out, saying:
"The Empress Dowager decrees, proclaims, and hundreds of officials will meet you!"
Hearing this, the hundred officials immediately stood in columns, neat and orderly, and entered the big tent to meet the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven, and then, the Empress Dowager promulgated the first decree, hand-picked King Shuo Xiao Tang as the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition should respond to military affairs, and the general of the King of Shuo will select the marshal of the Eastern Expedition to lead the three armies, and wave the army to the East!
At this point, the Northern Wei Dynasty wants to attack the heart of the Northern Qi Dynasty, dissect the world, and the chaotic world will set off a bloody storm, and the pattern of the world will also usher in a new atmosphere......
Shuo Wang Xiao Tang, under the gaze of civil and military officials, a military armor shines in the eyes of everyone, and the cloak behind him is waved, Shuo Wang Xiao Tang knelt down and bowed, took the generalissimo seal from the hands of the Empress Dowager, canonized the official and the Longyuan sword that symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power, in order to show that the handsome power is awarded, and those who dare to disobey the military order will be immediately killed!
In the unanimous support and submission of hundreds of officials, the Northern Wei Dynasty officially entered the atmosphere of the whole country and the same hatred of the enemy......
After the dispersal of the dynasty, I took the initiative to go to see the Empress Dowager, and when the chamberlain entered the king's tent, the Empress Dowager was discussing the Eastern Crusade with His Royal Highness King Shuo.
Seeing me enter, the Empress Dowager and King Shuo moved away from the military map, and the ministers took their seats.
When I entered the center of the king's tent, I looked solemn, knelt on the ground in my robe, and bowed to the Empress Dowager Sheng'an.
"The sons and daughters visited the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother was blessed with Jin'an. ”
The Empress Dowager looked kind and said with a smile:
"Good boy, the mourning family is planning to send someone to invite you, and it just so happens that you are here, get up quickly!"
After speaking, he glanced at King Shuo with ulterior motives.
I saw that I was still kneeling on the ground, my forehead touching the back of my hand, very respectful and pious, and said:
"The son is guilty, please ask the imperial grandmother to confess. ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she just smiled faintly and said:
"The mourning family is about to give more praise for Chen'er's meritorious service last night, so how can I start with this crime?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but pause and bow again, and said very sincerely:
"Imperial grandmother Rongyu, Chen'er committed two serious crimes, one is that without a military order, he privately instigated twenty-eight soldiers from the garrison battalion to leave the camp with Chen'er and go to the Evil Wolf Valley to support His Royal Highness King Shuo, although the matter is urgent, but it still violates the military law and needs to bear the responsibility;
The surrounding atmosphere was silent for a long time, and my back was already wet in the middle of my bow, and even the corners of my forehead couldn't help but soak in cold sweat, but it didn't take long for this terrifying silence to be broken by the hearty laughter of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager pointed at King Shuo Xiao Tang and said with a smile:
"It's exactly what you say!"
King Shuo couldn't help but laugh, and then congratulated the Empress Dowager with his hand:
"Weichen has to congratulate the Empress Dowager on getting a good son-in-law and choosing a good husband for Wan'er!"
After speaking, the two couldn't help laughing, very comfortable and happy, it can be seen that the two Venerables are very hearty and happy people.
"Okay, Chen'er, you get up first, the mourning family has always been rewarded and punished, last night you helped King Shuo in time to help him get out of trouble, the cause and effect, the mourning family has already known, you have merit, if you didn't make a quick decision and send troops to help King Shuo in time, I'm afraid that even if the army sent by the mourning family rushed over, King Shuo would not be able to come back to see the mourning family safely. ”
"But as you said, without a military order and privately transfer troops, although the number is not large, but it also violates military discipline and shakes the fundamentals, this is a capital crime in the army, you can take the initiative to come to ask for guilt, the mourning family is deeply grateful, but it is difficult to offset the merits and demerits, for the sake of the overall situation, and in order to fulfill the selfishness of the mourning family, so the mourning family has to conceal the fact that you privately encouraged the sergeant to assist King Shuo last night, and this credit will be all counted on your brother Gao Wei, with this honor, King Shuo can justifiably entrust Gao Wei with a heavy responsibility. ”
"As for the twenty-eight righteous men who are with you, they will be bereaved and given to the Lord as an encouragement. As for how to punish you, the mourning family has also thought about it, so they will punish you for half a year, all of which will be used as medicine and compensated to those sergeants. The mourning family is so rewarded and punished, what does Chen'er think?"
When I heard that I was going to reduce my salary by half a year, I couldn't help but turn white, and I secretly complained in my heart, tired and tired, and even the salary was gone, do you really want me to drink the northwest wind?
And in the end, the imperial grandmother's pretending to discuss in a general tone was so frightened that I didn't even save the politeness of discussion, and hurriedly kowtowed and bowed again, and said:
"The sons do not seek merit but seek no fault, thank the emperor for the grace of his grandmother. ”
After speaking, bow your head and bow again.
"Okay, I understand the righteousness, I have an extraordinary bearing, and I haven't taught you in vain for many years, good boy, instead of the mourning family, I will go to your uncle to give you a cup of tea!"
"The Empress Dowager, how can this be done?"
King Shuo hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Now there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers here, only sisters and brothers and grandsons-in-law, let Chen'er respect you, the country's stock humerus and virtuous uncle, a cup of tea, how can it be done?"
Hearing this, I also deeply agree, not to mention that Wan'er should have been brought up by His Royal Highness King Shuo, she can be so good, His Royal Highness King Shuo has made great contributions, I have been married to Wan'er for a long time, and this cup of tea should have been toasted a long time ago.
"Yes, the retainers are commanded. ”
Hurriedly stood up and took the teacup from the hand of the maid, and then, three steps to the distance of His Royal Highness King Shuo, he respectfully sat down, and then knelt down in his robe, served tea with both hands to the top of his head, and said respectfully:
"Chen'er, please have tea with your uncle!"
Seeing this, His Royal Highness King Shuo did not feel comforted by Lao Huai, and his face was also happy, he took the cup of tea, took a sip, and then said with some excitement:
"Okay, good boy, Wan'er will be handed over to you in the future, and you will treat her well in the future!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look moved, Ying Ying bowed, and kowtowed:
"Yes, Chen'er promised that she would be treated well in this life and would never be bullied. ”
