After Chu Gu and Qi Jiu stepped into the Yuan Pavilion, they naturally found a corner to sit together, and both of them avoided the others with a tacit understanding, and chose the quietest place to sit down, drinking tea and talking at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"How long do you want to stay when the prince returns to Beijing this time?"

"It's only about ten days at most, presumably Chu Gu Gongzi also knows that the situation on the border between Xiyin and Houshu is very tense now, and the operation of the military equipment cannot be delayed, and the instructions given to me by Lantai are also to make all preparations as soon as possible. ”

It is no secret that the current situation of Xiyin and Houshu is on the verge of breaking out, Qi Jiu said it truthfully and directly to Chu Gu, so that Chu Gu's hand holding the cup paused before saying: "What the prince said is extremely true, it seems that if you want to have a drink with the prince, it will have to be next time." ”

As long as Chu Gu Gongzi has this heart, Qi Jiu will understand it, and replace the wine with tea here, and give Chu Gu Gongzi a cup. Qi Jiu politely saluted Chu Gu, and Chu Gu naturally returned the courtesy, and the two were polite again, and Chu Gu moved the topic back again.

"At present, the friction and contradictions between our Xiyin and Houshu are getting bigger and bigger, but the two countries have been fighting for many years, and now the court has different views on the war, I don't know what the prince thinks?"

"I'm just a crude martial artist, and I don't dare to have any opinion on things above the court. But Qi Jiu was reluctant to talk about the court easily, so he didn't take Chu Gu's words, but pushed it back tactfully.

"If the prince of Wang is also a rough martial artist, then it is estimated that there will be no more talented people in Jian'an. Chu Gu didn't seem to be surprised that Qi Jiu would answer like this, and replied with a calm smile.

"Chu Gu Gongzi has an overreputation. Qi Jiu smiled slightly on his solemn face, and said modestly: "There are countless capable people in Jian'an, how can I compare with them, Chu Gu Gongzi doesn't need to be like this, otherwise wouldn't it be tormenting me." ”

"It's because I haven't thought it through, Shizi is not surprised, but about the recent rumors of the old general, I don't know if Shizi has heard of it?" Chu Gu gently threw out a sentence, causing it to explode in Qi Jiu's ears.

Although Chu Gu did not name which old general, after all, in Xiyin and Jian'an, there are many old generals, Chu Gu's "recent rumors of the old general" without beginning or end, who will know who he is talking about? What is it talking about?

Qi Jiu knew.

Qi Jiu knew that the "old general" that Chu Gu said was the god of war of Xiyin, the hero of Xiyin, and Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong. As for Old Man Liang's recent rumors, that naturally refers to the fact that Old Man Liang is very likely to put on his armor again, so that Xi Yin will stand on the battlefield in front again.

Although this is not a well-known rumor in Jian'an, but above the court, several big people have successively spread ambiguous remarks that are biased towards this tendency, so that this matter has long been slowly spread among officials, so how could Qi Jiu not know?

Moreover, in this Jian'an, although there are really many people who can be called old generals, there are not many people who can be called "old generals" by Chu Gu with such a solemn expression, and now Qi Jiu can only think of that one.

Therefore, as soon as Chu Gu's words landed, Qi Jiu's face, which had always been young and old, finally changed color, he was not surprised by this news, this was something he had heard a long time ago. Qi Jiu was surprised, how could Chu Gu dare to talk to him about this matter so directly?

You must know that although there has always been this rumor in the court, no one dares to put it on the surface, after all, the status of the old man Liang, the general of Zhendong, in Xiyin is too special.

Moreover, the old man Liang has been relieved and returned to the field many years ago, and he has been at home for a long time, ignoring the affairs of the court for a long time, at least the old man Liang is like this on the bright side, and his old man's actions are just a signal to all the people in Xiyin that the world in Xiyin is peaceful.

If even Xiyin's god of war has taken off his battle robe and is idle at home, then isn't this already a sign that Xiyin's peace has arrived, and there is no war, so the warrior can put down the weapons in his hands?

In Xiyin, the old man Liang's disarmament and return to the field played this role, that is, he sprinkled a reassuring pill for the people of Xiyin, saved the people who had been living in the war for many years from despair, and began to have hopes and dreams for a stable life.

And that is the reassuring pill that Mr. Liang gave to the entire Xiyin people back then, so that all the ordinary people who had been forced to bear the heavy tax supervision and miscellaneous taxes in the war with Houshu for many years finally had hope and courage and survived the last and most difficult years.

After all, the national strength of Xiyin at that time was weaker than that of Houshu, and then he was forced to face the invasion of Houshu.

But you must know that in an empire that is already weaker than the invaders, it is extremely difficult to support a battle, let alone the vicious battles with Houshu like back then.

Although Old Man Liang is the most important reason why Xiyin finally defeated the strong with the weak, if there is no strong support from the Shen family's financial resources and Xiyin's national aid, then even if Old Man Liang is invincible, it is estimated that he will be defeated in the end because of the lack of logistics and the support of grain and grass.

Therefore, in fact, behind the god of war and heroes in Xiyin, the old man Liang, it was full of the blood and sweat of all the people in Xiyin, and the financial resources of the Lanling Shen family, if there were no them, then whether the current Xiyin could still exist, but it is still an unknown number.

Therefore, even if you just think about it now, you can think of how afraid the heavy taxes carried by the people of Xiyin at that time were, and this is still under the premise of having benevolent monarchs and famous generals like Emperor Wen and Old Man Liang.

If at that time at the end of the war, if Old Man Liang hadn't suddenly released the news that he was going to be disarmed and returned to the field, giving all the people of Xiyin a hope, then in fact, even if Xiyin won in the end, it is estimated that the world would have to wither.

And once the withering of the people appears, sometimes it is more difficult to recover than anything else, if this situation really occurs at that time, then it is estimated that the prosperity of Xiyin will not be the same as now, and it will come in the lifetime of Emperor Wen.

The name of the Ming monarch and the respect of later generations, which Emperor Wen valued most in his life, are estimated to have completely disappeared from the history books, and even the records of him in the history books can only be brought over by a few words - the cause of withering, and the lord of the extremely weakened national strength.

That kind of consequence is not acceptable to Emperor Wen, so the meaning behind the disarming and return to the field of the old man Liang at that time is too much, and the five words "peace and peace" are the most important at that time, and it is also after this that the idleness of the old man Liang, the god of war, can bring the most important meaning to Xiyin.

As long as the Xiyin God of War does not move, the peace and peace of Xiyin will not change. And once the Xiyin God of War moves, it means that the turmoil of the empire has arrived.

Who would dare to bear this kind of big crime that endangers the instability of the people in the Xiyin world?

At least in today's court, no one dares to talk about this topic openly and openly on the surface, and everyone is cautiously whispering to each other in the dark room of the mansion.

But now Chu Gu actually put him on the table with such a big grin, and in such a crowded place, what is he going to do? Is he trying to drag me down some troubled waters?

After Qi Jiu's complexion changed a few times, he quickly recovered as before, he looked at Chu Gu and said, "It's false to say that I haven't heard of it, but I'm afraid that this matter is not something that Chu Gu Gongzi and I can talk about at will." ”

Qi Jiu looked at Chu Gu quietly and said, and Chu Gu looked at Qi Jiu's jade pupils, the bright light was a few times heavier, and he didn't care about Qi Jiu's attitude of wanting to avoid it, he still said very directly: "Whether the old general will put on his armor and go to the battlefield again is just a rumor that flows out between the flickering words, but even so, we can see how bad the situation at the border is." Son, if there is a resurgence of war on the frontier, then where will you go?"

"Armor into battle. ”

After a period of silence that was not long, Qi Jiu gently spit out these four words, and Chu Gu smiled, "My generation of men, it is a matter of course to protect the family and defend the country, but I just don't know, if the prince puts on armor and goes into battle, then who should be responsible for my Xiyin's military logistics?"

Since Emperor Wen ascended the throne, the military preparation has always been handed over to the winning palace to be fully responsible, and with the winning king's uprightness and stubbornness, this military preparation road is in its hands, that has always been known for its severity, for decades, even the most fastidious historians around the winning palace day and night, that is not a mistake can not be caught.

Such a strict self-interested royal family, even the most upright old historians, can't help but admire the winning king.

And it was Qi Jiu, the son of the winning king, who was taught by such a winning king, that his father could be found almost effortlessly in him - solemn, quiet, calm, young and old, which was almost exactly the same as the winning king back then.

But this is how he is so stubborn that he can already be said to be a rigid winning king, and Qi Jiu, the son of the winning king, who is almost exactly the same, is the target that Chu Gu does not hesitate to try his best to win over.

Chu Gu looked at Qi Jiu, who was a little stunned by his words, his red lips curled, and suddenly he spoke again: "The prince might as well think about what I just said, although I have already heard that the prince is extremely brave and likes to lead the soldiers to fight the enemy in person, but has the prince also forgotten that in fact, there are more important responsibilities on his body?"

Chu Gu's tone of words was neither light nor heavy, but when it fell into Qi Jiu's ears, it was as if it had been thrown into a handful of firecrackers, which made his brows tighten and his thin lips pursed.

Today's winning king is already in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his management of the military preparation road has begun to be delegated to Qi Jiu's hands step by step in the early years, and now, the management of the Xiyin military preparation road has actually been personally responsible for Qi Jiu for a long time.

It is indeed true that Qi Jiu is the current full-power manager of the military preparations, although it may be a little reluctant, but seventy or eighty percent of the affairs are in his charge, and there is no need to ask King Win for instructions.

Although this may still be a secret that only a few people can know in Jian'an, Qi Jiu's ability is obvious to everyone, he is young and not yet weak, but he is already in charge of Xiyin's military preparations.

With such an ability, even in Chu Gu's opinion, it is an extremely remarkable character, so how could he allow him to miss out under his nose?

Moreover, with Qi Jiu's ability, looking at it, Chu Gu really couldn't find someone who could be more qualified than him to be in charge of the military preparation road, and there was such a person who could manage the military logistics as strict as King Ying, then Chu Gu couldn't be more at ease.

Therefore, Chu Gu had to let Qi Jiu stay in Jian'an, and he couldn't let him return to the battlefield, at this time, I am afraid that no one can understand better than him that the war between Xiyin and Houshu is definitely about to break out, after all, someone has already brought him back news, and the grain and grass of Houshu have been moved.

……

……

"Did you find it? Didn't you just say that you had already entered the gate, how could you suddenly disappear again, I asked you to follow him well, how did you follow him, all take the words of His Royal Highness as a deaf ear, right?"

"The minions don't dare. ”

In the courtyard of Hongmei Zhai, there were all the inner eunuchs and palace maids kneeling all over the place in an instant, everyone was very afraid of the surging anger of the one above, although I don't know why she had such a big temper, this is not the Crying Palace, and there are so many guests, isn't it a common thing to lose someone?

Although the master's temper is not very good, but it is still rare to criticize everyone so harshly just for a little thing like this, and it seems that it is a great big man who is angry with their master, so it is now vented on them.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, please calm your anger, originally today because of my birthday banquet, there are many guests who have come to celebrate, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Winning King is extremely happy and quiet by nature, the more crowded the place, the more the Prince will not love, so it is not for nothing that they will lose the trace of the Prince. Why don't you let them look around the places where there are fewer people?"

Of course, Zhong Qing knew what kind of anger Princess Changping was making, so she whispered in Princess Changping's ear to excuse those innocent palace maids and inner eunuchs, but of course, the more important thing was that Zhong Qing knew Princess Changping too well.

She knew that no matter what it was, as long as she mentioned the matter of Qi Jiu, the prince of the winning king, the anger of Princess Changping would disappear without a trace, and she saw that this was the case now. (To be continued.) )
