The restless thing of the king of Mohe in the northeast, foreign wars are often an opportunity to compete for military power within the court, and the greater the military achievements, the greater the prestige. After all, Wu Enke's strategy can't produce results immediately, and after it is decided this year and summons the world, it will at least wait until next year. Even if there is a martial champion next year, it is impossible to lead people into battle without training.

There is no one available among the prince's generals, whether it is military power, merit, or prestige, it is watching others take it away, how can you not have a relationship?

"Someone who can fight...... Ha ha...... Isn't there one in the prince's mansion?" Qingling smiled in his heart, thinking to himself, that person's sharpness should be worn out a little, the foreshadowing has been done, and it is time to make a move.

This chess piece, the prince adopted her Jianyì first put him under house arrest in the prince's mansion and did not hand it over to others first, and this matter was not effective at that time, the Su Guards, the city defense army, and Jing Zhaoyin were not well guarded and had no face to ask the prince for someone. At that time, the crown prince did not understand what Qingling was going to do, but Qingling said: Doesn't His Royal Highness respect him as a hero? At that time, the prince thought that he could catch Ge Shu because of her clever calculation, and he was happy in his heart, and felt that what Qingling said made sense, so he left it to her.

But now the prince couldn't help but be surprised when he heard her mention it again: "Lin Qing, do you mean General Ashina Geshu?"

The crown prince couldn't help but think that he was very busy with the daily government affairs of disaster relief and grain collection, but "Lin Yu" still asked him to fight for Ge Shu to be placed under house arrest in the prince's mansion in the court, and asked him to delay the Turkic problem on the grounds of "making every effort to quell the drought, famine, flood, and plague".

"Lin Yu" mentioned Ashina Geshu again at this time, could it be that "Lin Yu" at the beginning, no, maybe he had already thought about what to do in the follow-up before he captured Geshu? Even thought about how to deal with the Turkic affairs? At that time, Lin Yu had just come to serve him, and he didn't even trust him very much.

The prince couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: this son's ambition, strategy, vision, and intensive plans one after another have no space, and they are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Qingling said: "No one is more familiar with the habits of this northern nomad than him. ”

The prince said: "General Ashina Geshu is indeed a hero, but he is a Turk. ”

Qingling smiled brightly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and said: "If it can be used by the crown prince, how can there be a distinction between the Turks and the Han people? Do you know that in the future, when Your Highness ascends to the great throne and reigns in the world, the Turks will not bow down to Your Highness? Why don't Your Highness give it a try? If it really doesn't work, there will be no loss to Your Highness. ”

At night, when the prince went back to the house to sleep, the crown princess found that the prince's eyebrows, who were still worried last night and even this morning, were sad, and he was quite young.

The crown princess couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and asked with a smile: "Why is His Highness in a good mood after seeing Lin Gongzi?"

"Xuan'er didn't know that dozens of doormen of all sizes under the lonely door together could not be worth one Lin Yu, Lin Yu's royal talent, and he was lucky to be alone. The crown princess's name is "Lu Xuan", and now only the prince calls her "Xuan'er".

The crown princess smiled gently, changed the prince's clothes, and said: "Your Royal Highness likes Lin Gongzi so much, I don't know...... Is he married?"

The prince said: "I don't know if I'm lonely. ”

"Your Highness, let's take the opportunity to ask later. ”

"Why is that? Xuan'er is trying to be a matchmaker for him?"

The crown princess glanced at her husband with disgust and said, "How can you be a father like Your Highness......?" Our well-being has grown up. Do you say that Lin Gongzi is very good, and a young girl is blind?"

"Ankang, she's not even twelve years old!" The prince originally thought that Lin Yu was very good, but when he thought of him seducing his baby daughter, who was only twelve years old, he felt that he was very hateful. He originally had an eldest daughter who was born to the side concubine Li, because the Queen Mother liked to be the lord of Jiamin, but she died of illness four years ago, and Ankang was his only daughter.

……

Ge Shu has been under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion for nearly four months, and in the first days he was ordered every day. Soon after, he was drugged in his food and unable to exert his internal strength.

I heard that the crown prince has quelled the rebellion in the capital, and now the court and the central government are discussing the affairs of northern Xinjiang, which was mentioned by several princes who came to visit him.

It was strange that the tribes in the desert treated their captives either locked up, killed, or used as slaves. But he was in the Prince's Mansion, in addition to not being able to move freely, and he couldn't use martial arts after being poisoned by drugs that dissolved his internal strength, and his treatment was like being a guest here.

Here's what happened in the first 10 days or so:

He was very depressed and angry, and if it was possible, he really wanted to wash the capital in blood.

But in those long lonely days of "sitting and waiting for death", after more than ten days, he calmed down and began to think about many things again:

One is the appreciation of his opponent, his Ge Shu's action plan was all expected, and the young man who fought him at the beginning was higher than him.

One is the nostalgia for the battlefield, he was originally the most unappreciated son of the Turkic Zuoxian King, living like a slave, it was the master who taught him martial arts, it was the battlefield that gave him the honor of life, and he was nothing without the battlefield.

One is the shape of the grassland, there are thousands of large and small tribes in the north, most of them have surrendered to the Khan, and now the Khan's 100,000 main forces were killed and wounded by the Southern Korean army, and the remnants also fled. And his army on the left was 10,000 elite soldiers, and under the Khan's brain-pumping orders, they lost 3,000 in their conquest of Persia, and after returning to the Turks, they infiltrated the Southern Dynasty with 500 of the most elite men and horses, and died almost dead. Now, he and the elite are trapped in the Southern Dynasty, and the rest of the people are afraid that there will be chaos without a boss, and most of them will be swallowed by the ambitious King of the Fallen Division. But now he is a defeated general, a prisoner of the ranks, and he can't do anything.

The last thing he thought about was that he inevitably felt another softness in his admiration: the beautiful girl of the Southern Dynasty who had high martial arts skills at the beginning, I don't know what happened to her now. At that time, he was angry and murderous, and shot three arrows in a row, but I don't know if he shot her. He's here like a waste waiting to die now, and it would be nice if he could see her again. He Ashina Geshu is a soldier, he has always been iron-blooded and ruthless, and he has been fighting wits and courage with others for ten years, and he has never been defeated in the case of equal troops. He calls himself a hero, and only a woman with such resourcefulness, courage and martial arts can make him lovesick.

Here's what happened in the second month:

Ge Shu lived a lifeless life of eating waste waiting for death, and when he was brave and brave in his life, he was naturally murderous and not afraid of death. However, after such a quiet and secluded life, he has been too long, and as the saying goes, he has been exhausted in one blow, then declining, and three times exhausted, and the sharpness that once disregarded life and death for the Savior has also become farther away. He was completely defeated, defeated at the hands of the Southern Dynasties, and defeated at the hands of the crown prince of the Southern Dynasties.

On weekdays, he is accustomed to looking forward to the occasional visit to the prince's door. These doormen are not taboo at all against him as a hostile general, and they are not afraid of attracting the suspicion of the prince.

3rd Month:

One day, the usual doormen came again.

He finally couldn't help but ask, but a doorman said very confidently: "Your Highness is busy with affairs now, and the imperial court doesn't even have time to provide disaster relief and resume production, so you don't have time to think about how to deal with Turkic-related matters." However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always revered heroes, and although the general is now a prisoner, the Crown Prince ordered you to be placed under house arrest for the time being, and did not say that we should not come to visit you. ”

Another doorman smiled: "We are just ordinary doormen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often says that you should learn from the strengths of others, you are a generation of famous generals, let's talk to you, learn from your strengths, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not blame." ”

Another doorman said: "Four years ago, the general had great achievements in the battle against Roulan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also amazed after hearing about it, and often sighed: If you can see this heroic general in this life, you can drink a cup together, which is enough to comfort your life." ”

When Ge Shu heard the first few words, he naturally felt a little proud and complacent, and when he heard that the prince still wanted to drink with him, he couldn't help but have a wonderful contradictory feeling about the prince.

But thinking about the heroic scenery of the past compared to the persecution of the prisoners now, I feel that the world is unpredictable, and I can't help it.

The doorman paused, and after a while, he sighed again: "However, now that the shape is in chaos, His Royal Highness has a special status, and he can only try to save your life in the court, but it is inconvenient to invite you to drink." ”

Hearing that the crown prince was fighting to save his life, Shu Ge's mood was as if he had just floated high and fell down, and he couldn't help but sneer: "I am a descendant of the Ashina clan, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of life! Why do you need him to save my life!"

The doormen were stunned, and then they didn't refute, and they just left in a huff, but it was not interesting for him to make a boss himself.

In fact, during the four months of seclusion and house arrest, the only pleasure of the depressed and wasteful life gradually turned into a longing for a prince from time to time to chat and inquire about things outside.

So, no matter whether he was happy or not, he also learned a lot about the prince indirectly.

For example: when I was young, I was not in good health and could not practice martial arts, which was often a pity, but I loved heroes and fierce generals since I was a child;

For example: broad-minded, courteous corporal, mild temperament, low-key and simple life on weekdays;

Another example: outstanding talent in government affairs and people's livelihood, loving the people like children. Looking at nothing else, the drought in the Central Plains is severe, and his various actions in disaster relief and presiding over the restoration of production can be corroborated.

Recently, the disaster has subsided, and the DPRK and China are discussing Turkic matters, and it would be a lie for Ge Shuruo to say that he didn't care. But for several days, not a single dog from his Prince's Mansion Nanyuan came, except for the guards of the Prince's Mansion, only someone came to eat and deliver water regularly, and even sent some spirits rarely.

That afternoon, he lay down and rested, but overheard the noise, and he secretly said: Finally give him someone.

"The prince has arrived!" but he heard the waiter shouting in a sharp voice, only to see the footsteps of a group of people, and Ge Shu thought that they were about to come in.

But they stopped outside, and only heard a mellow and gentle voice ask softly, "Chang Sheng, is General Ashina resting?" At that time, he was arrested and met the prince, and he had spoken a few words to him, and he was also recognized.

Chang Sheng was a deputy commander of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and he only heard Chang Sheng say: "General Ashina has been used to taking a lunch break recently. I'll wake him up. ”

The prince said softly: "No need, Lone has nothing to do this afternoon, so I will sit in this courtyard, and when the general wakes up, Lone will see him again." ”

Ge Shu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, thinking to himself, he is just a prisoner now, he has caught him, why is he still so polite?

Ge Shu couldn't help but think of all the things in the past few months, although he was angry when he planned to lose, but he became the king and lost the king, and the prince still treated him like this, and he asked some about the prince's personality, and now it is difficult to hate him.

After all, Ge Shu was curious about what the prince came to him, he was bored to death, and it was better to be able to chat with the prince of the Southern Dynasty than this kind of life of the living dead.

So, he took the initiative to open the door and said, "The prince of the Southern Dynasty doesn't have to be polite, I'm awake." ”

The prince turned back and said with a gentle smile: "The general has lived in the mansion for four months, and he only came to see him today, but he is a lonely general." ”

Ge Shu didn't answer coldly, and the prince didn't mind, so he took his hand and went to the Huxin Pavilion outside Nanyuan to drink tea like a brother.

After the servants served tea, the prince talked about the affairs of the court and China, and said that the court discussed how to deal with the captured Turkic khans for several days.

Seven or eight out of ten of the original courtiers advocated killing him, but he still tried to save the life of the Turkic Khan and find a better and more peaceful long-term solution.

This matter, Ge Shu also heard the visiting doorman talk about it a few days ago, but it was undecided at the time, and now that he knows that the Khan will not die, he is also a little relieved
