"Uh...... My lord, the wound on your face ......" Wen Sen had to ask aggressively under the urging of the eyes of his subordinates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hurt? How can this be called an injury? It's a man's medal! Hiss-" Ren Xiaoyao twitched in pain as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Medals? This...... Hehe, the medal is hanging on the face, and it is really ...... It's conspicuous, hehe......" Winson laughed dryly.
Ren Xiaoyao smiled proudly, looked around majestically, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, I was with Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Martial arts ......"
"Huh?" The crowd was shocked.
Vinson wondered, "What was the result?" ”
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes burst out with murderous aura, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! There were three rounds of fighting, she won the first round, and the second ...... She didn't lose, the third round, that ...... I wanted to beg for mercy, but she wouldn't let ......."
Everyone realized, that is to say, Lord Ren was beaten by Her Royal Highness the princess for three rounds, no wonder, no wonder......
So everyone unanimously praised their hands: "My lord, hard work, Your Royal Highness Princess...... Mighty! ”
These idiots! The sycophants didn't hit the point at all!
Ren Yao snorted unhappily, and then smiled sadly: "Really? Very good, starting with Vinson later, everyone will run a hundred laps around the school field for Lao Tzu, and if you can't finish the run, you can go into the small dark room to reflect on yourself......"
"Huh? Spare your life! And they were all terrified, and they were all terrified.
Ren Xiaoyao sneered, damn! Can't cure Qianyun, Lao Tzu can't cure you? Treat domestic violence victims like Lao Tzu, you can't give Lao Tzu a little spring-like warmth, and dare to laugh at me, if you want to die, speak up early.
Vincent waved away his bitter subordinates, and only he and Ren Xiaoyao were left in the military tent, Vincent walked to Ren Xiaoyao's side, lowered his voice, and said with joy: "My lord...... Got it! ”
Ren Xiaoyao said: "What did you find?" ”
Vinson said overjoyed, "...... Find the army of the prince's private placement! ”
"What?" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes widened, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately jumped up in shock: "Really? Found it so quickly? ”
Wen Sen smiled proudly, with a bit of merit, and said with a smile: "Adults, don't underestimate our shadow's ability to investigate, in terms of tracking clues, finding people, and spying on military intelligence, our shadow can be regarded as the most powerful in the world......"
"Where is that army?" Ren Xiaoyao asked eagerly.
"In the southern mountains and forests outside the capital, only more than sixty miles away from the capital, the mountains and forests cover a wide area, about 100 miles in a circle, and it is no problem to hide an army of tens of thousands of horses......
"Do you know what's going on?"
"This ...... No, our brother disguised himself as a woodcutter who chopped wood, and lurked in the forest for three days, and finally found clues in a naturally formed gully in the mountain forest, he heard the faint sound of drills, just listening to the sound, that army was quite a lot of people, and the security near the gully was very tight, and groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth, guarding their camp impenetrable, and our brothers were afraid of hitting the grass and startling the snakes, so they did not dare to go any further, and immediately came back to report. ”
Ren Xiaoyao was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and laughed happily: "Yes, yes, after investigating this important information, we will take a big step towards success." Lao Wen, pass on my order, the brother who discovered the army, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 1,000 taels of silver, if this great event is completed, I will ask the emperor for merit and reward him with a knighthood as a reward, haha, he has made a great contribution......"
Wen Sen saw that he had taken the shit luck and found that the brother of the prince's private army had won such a great honor, and he might be knighted afterwards, which made Wen Sen a little depressed, his shadow second-in-command has not yet been knighted, but he was overtaken by his subordinate brothers, and Wen Sen inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at Wen Sen and smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The brothers below have made meritorious contributions, how can I treat you badly?" Lao Wen, if this matter is successful, your credit will only be greater than his, how about I ask the emperor to make you an earl? ”
Wen Sen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Ren Xiaoyao, and then swore a gambling curse to show his loyalty, and by the way, he slapped Ren Xiaoyao's sycophants, and he was very busy, Ren Xiaoyao was photographed laughing, and his satisfaction was beyond words.
"My lord, now that the specific location of that army has been found, do you want to send troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress them?" After a lively slap on the back, Vincent looked at Ren Yao's face and asked cautiously.
"Encirclement? How to encircle and suppress? Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ren is surrounded by dense mountains and forests, where people have been practicing for a long time, taking advantage of the time and place, among the four armies defending the capital, which army is used to fighting in the mountains and jungles?" As soon as the army enters the mountain, it may be served by the prince's private army, and the specific situation of that army has not yet been inquired, how many people they have, how well trained they are, whether they are well-equipped, and who the generals who lead the troops are, we don't know. ”
"What then?" Vinson looked rather depressed.
"Actually, it's not difficult, let's not dare to go in, then force them out, the purpose of the prince's training of that army is, of course, to one day attack the capital and force the emperor to abdicate, it is impossible to let them die of old age in the mountains and forests. Therefore, the key issue now is how to force the prince to make a move, order the army to take the initiative to attack, before that, let's mobilize the army outside the city, arrange a trap, open a big pocket, and invite that army into the urn, the prince is missing this private army, which is equivalent to a toothless tiger, and the border army he colluded with is not to worry......"
Wen Sen hurriedly praised Ren Xiaoyao: "My lord's clever calculation, strategizing, winning a thousand miles, my subordinates can have such a heroic and extraordinary boss as you, it is really a blessing for my subordinates to cultivate three lives, and my subordinates are willing to ...... for adults."
Ren Xiaoyao suddenly smiled, deeply intoxicated by another round of powerful sycophants, and couldn't extricate himself.
"Find a way to continue spying on that army, and remember, don't startle the snake!"
"Yes!"
"Go back and read more, and in the future, the tricks of sycophants will be innovative, endless, and the rhetoric should be gorgeous and strong! Surprise and comfort me anytime, anywhere. ”
“…… Be! ”
※※※
Inside the emperor's bedroom.
Ren Yaoyao rushed in, and before he stepped into the palace door, he had already shouted: "Long live my emperor......
"Don't be wordy, I'm dying, and you're shouting long live, I really don't know if you courtiers deliberately cursed me to die early...... Come on in. The emperor's voice was unusually weak.
Ren Xiaoyao lifted the hem of his official robe and strode into the palace gate.
"Lord Ren, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always good?" An abrupt voice sounded in Ren Yao's ears.
Ren Xiaoyao turned his head in astonishment, but saw the prince holding a medicine bowl in one hand, standing respectfully on the side of the emperor's sickbed, looking at him with a smile, his eyes were peaceful and serene.
On the other side of the sickbed, King Shou was standing respectfully beside the emperor, his eyes were not squinting, his eyes were full of care and worry, and he looked at the emperor for a moment.
Ho! What bad luck! It's good to die, and I met these two guys who pretend to be filial sons. Ren Xiaoyao was hesitating whether to quit and let the two of them fully compete on the same stage before he came in.
"Ahh Weichen has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Shou. Thinking about it, it was definitely not appropriate to quit, so Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly gave a salute.
"Lord Ren doesn't have to be polite, he said that Lord Ren is the emperor's son-in-law, and he is in the same family as my royal family, why should his family be so polite?" The prince smiled.
King Shou raised his worried face, nodded to Ren Xiaoyao, and smiled reluctantly, as if he was full of worries about the emperor's illness, and had no time to take care of it.
Ren Xiaoyao's scalp was numb when he saw it, these two guys were too ...... Disgusting! How disgusting is this face, my father is about to choke his breath, you are more than acting, see who plays more like a filial son, you are old and confused when you are the emperor, will he not know?
"Come, give a seat." The emperor was lying on the dragon couch, his face was pale, his wrinkled face was sweating from time to time, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be enduring intense pain.
King Shou held a hand towel in his hand and wiped the sweat on the emperor's face from time to time, with gentle and meticulous movements.
Several imperial doctors in the palace whispered softly in the corners of the main hall, discussing the emperor's illness and the son who gave the medicine.
"In front of the two highnesses, how can there be a seat for Weichen? Don't dare to ......," Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly bowed down and humbly said.
The crown prince and King Shou glanced at each other, and then the prince smiled: "Lord Ren doesn't have to be polite, my lord must be here to report state affairs to my father, and I am just going to go back to the house to see a few folk doctors and ask to see if there is any miracle effect on my father's illness. ”
Seeing this, King Shou also hurriedly said: "Father, a few days ago, Erchen spent a lot of money to buy a thousand-year-old snow ginseng, which has become human-shaped, which is extremely rare, and Erchen will go back to the house to bring it and dedicate it to his father, hoping to be useful to his father's dragon body......"
The emperor didn't speak, waved his hand weakly, and snorted twice while lying on the sickbed.
The crown prince and King Shou hurriedly bowed and bowed, and slowly withdrew from the palace.
When he stepped out of the palace gate, the prince suddenly raised his head, and glanced at Ren Xiaoyao casually, his eyes had become gloomy and fierce. Immediately returned to normal quickly, and the figures of the two turned around, and soon disappeared outside the dormitory.
Ren Xiaoyao was frightened by the prince's gaze when he left, and seeing that the two had gone away, Ren Xiaoyao complained to the emperor angrily: "Your Majesty, have you seen it?" See? Prince, he glared at me......"
As soon as the emperor saw Ren Xiaoyao's villainous face, he was angry, his pale face suddenly flushed a little ruddy, his hand trembled slightly and pointed at Ren Xiaoyao, and he was just about to scold, but he couldn't help coughing violently.
Ren Xiaoyao was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to caress his back and rub his chest diligently, his mouth was not idle: "Look at these two guys, the emperor is so angry, your majesty, forget it, let's not be like them, taking care of the dragon body is the most important ......"
"You...... You...... You bastard......" The emperor just held back a few words, looked up at Ren Xiaoyao's extremely innocent and confused face, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly came to his heart.
Forget it, if you don't have the same knowledge as him, with the thickness of his face, no matter how much you scold him, he won't take it seriously, or save energy, I don't have much more years left, and I can't afford to break his life for him......
After a few quick gasps, the emperor closed his eyes, didn't bother to look at him, and moaned: "Just say something, get out of here when you're done!" Every time I see you, I want to cut off your head......"
Ren Xiaoyao's face collapsed when he heard this, his mouth was pursed, he looked at the emperor with great grievances, and said sadly: "Your Majesty...... How can you say that? …… Don't like Wechen anymore? ”
"Like? Hum! If I like you again, Yang Shou will be less and die more ......."
"Your Majesty, Wechen has many advantages......"
"Shut up! Get down to business! ”
"Yes."
Ren Xiaoyao raised his head, looked left and right hesitantly, and saw that there were many people standing in the palace, such as the imperial doctor, eunuchs, and palace maids, so he winked at the emperor slyly.
The emperor snorted, waved his hand, and ordered everyone in the palace to withdraw from the palace, until only he and Ren Xiaoyao were left, and the emperor hummed weakly: "Say, what is the matter, need to be so sneaky......"
Ren Xiaoyao put on a flattering smile, leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince's private army...... Got it! ”
"Private army?" The emperor was overjoyed, and his pale face quickly turned rosy, and he coughed: "Found it?" Where did you find it? How's that going? ”
"Your Majesty, don't get too excited, be careful of the dragon body...... The prince's private army is currently stationed in the mountains and forests in the south less than sixty miles from the capital, but they are heavily guarded, and the shadow subordinates dare not get too close for fear of startling the grass and snakes, so the specific situation of that army has not yet been discovered......
The emperor muttered: "It's good to find it, and then inquire slowly about the specific situation, don't rush in, in case it is self-defeating." Hum! The prince really has ill intentions, it seems that he has made up his mind to force the palace a few years ago, and secretly recruited and trained such a private army for himself, and the wolf's ambition is obvious! How could I have given birth to a son with such a vicious heart! Ancestors are not blessed! ”
The more the emperor spoke, the more heartbroken he became, and his dry hands beat the brocade quilt embroidered with a golden dragon. Then he coughed violently, and his face became pale.
"The emperor is angry, you have to take care of your body......" Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly comforted.
The emperor calmed down, sighed, his eyes were full of desolation and pain, and said: "I am old, and the emperor's position should also be handed over to my prince, but ...... How could I put this great country in the hands of such a vicious person? The murder of the father and the king has been done, if such a cruel and deceitful person is the emperor, what kind of dire days will be waiting for the people of our Chinese Dynasty? ”
Ren Yao hung his head and was silent.
The emperor glanced at him and said indifferently: "Ren Xiaoyao, when you enter the palace to report this matter to me, you must already have a charter in your heart to deal with it, right?" Don't beat around the bush, just say it and let me think about it. ”
Ren Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and smiled, leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is a charter, and the emperor is invited to ......consider it when he says it."
Now that rumors are spreading in the capital, the crown prince also realizes that his position as prince may soon be abolished, so the most anxious person now should be him. He is anxiously waiting for the opportunity to lead the army to force the palace, and the private army outside the city may attack the capital at any time, so Wei Chen came up with an idea and took the initiative to create an opportunity, maybe the prince can't help but take the lead in making a move, let's arrange it, and we can annihilate it in one fell swoop......"
"What's the idea?" The emperor frowned.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the emperor's face, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this idea may require your cooperation, your dragon body ......"
The emperor waved his hand indifferently and said, "Before this matter is properly arranged, I will not die, you tell me your mind first." ”
"Your Majesty, this idea from Weichen is called 'Hidden Dragon Goes to Sea'......"
"What do you mean?"
Ren Xiaoyao's eyes rolled, like a traitorous villain who gave the emperor a bad idea, his face was full of flattery and evil smiles, and he whispered softly in the emperor's ear......
※※※
For a long time, the emperor frowned and stared at Ren Xiaoyao, and did not say a word for a long time.
Ren Xiaoyao was stared at by the emperor uncomfortably, and couldn't help laughing dryly: "Eh...... Your Majesty, Weichen's idea ,...... Isn't it bad? ”
The emperor shook his head and sighed deeply: "Ren Xiaoyao, when it comes to great wisdom, you are far inferior to the prince, but when it comes to playing clever and lacking moral ideas, the prince can't even compare to you with a finger, you are full of intrigues and tricks, it is really a ...... Scourge! ”
The more Ren Xiaoyao listened, the darker his face became, is this praising me or hurting me?
"Your Majesty, can you describe Weichen in another word? How ugly it is to say 'conspiracy', but if it were replaced by 'far-sightedness', your praise would have a little more meaning......"
The emperor gave him an angry look: "Do you think I'm praising you?" ”
"Wechen is just praising me......"
The emperor laughed angrily, and then choked and coughed.
After a long time, Ren Xiaoyao looked at the emperor's face carefully, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Weichen's idea...... Is it possible? ”
The emperor closed his eyes and thought about it, but he didn't say a word.
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, in the final analysis, this plan is just a passive strategy, if the prince has no objection, or is afraid of the emperor's might, he does not dare to take risks easily, this plan will naturally not succeed, but even if it is not successful, for us, there is no loss, it is not a risk, for us, this plan is the safest and safest......
Ren Xiaoyao unconsciously straightened his chest, twisted his beard, and said in a rough voice: "Wechen has used countless soldiers in his life, and those who seek it are not victorious, and the soldiers are dangerous, and Wechen only speaks the word 'stable' when he uses soldiers......"
The emperor couldn't help but open his eyes, and scolded with a weak smile: "Shut up!" You yellow-mouthed kid, you dare to claim to use countless soldiers in front of me, and you still want to be ashamed of you? ”
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly lowered his eyebrows, then raised his eyes again, looked at the emperor with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
The emperor covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his breath was quite insufficient, and he said weakly: "Let's give it a try......"
Let it be overjoyed.
The emperor coughed a few more times and said, "I don't have much time, this time I must finish this matter before I die, and leave the new monarch with a complete and worry-free ...... inside and outside."
After speaking, the emperor's cloudy old eyes suddenly burst out of two fine lights, and he snorted coldly: "If the prince really has the intention of forcing the palace, he will soon know what awaits him!" ”
Looking at the awe-inspiring power that suddenly erupted from the emperor, Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
Imperial City Bedchamber.
The emperor covered his mouth, held back his cough, and was teaching Ren Xiaoyao the opportunity.
"Among the four armies of Longwu, Shence, Shenwu, and Longxiang who defend the capital, Feng Qiudao of the Longwu Army and Han Dashi of the Longxiang Army should be trustworthy, Ren Yao, you can take the handwritten order of Tiger Fu and I to go to their military camp to mobilize troops and horses. Remember, this is a confidential matter, and before the army moves, you must not leak the slightest rumor, otherwise the major event will be suspended......"
"Yes."
"As for the city defense army, you can act at the opportunity, Qin Chong, the deputy general of the city defense army, if this person is obsessed and obsessed with the prince, you will find an opportunity to kill him in the military camp and seize the military power......"
Ren Xiaoyao trembled, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled: "Your Majesty...... Are you kidding me! It is very dangerous to kill Qin Chong in the barracks of the city defense army! Wechen is not yet twenty years old this year, he is still an ignorant child, and he is so fragile that he can break when he touches it, you can let someone else do it......"
The emperor glared at him dissatisfiedly: "No interest!" These days, you have transferred hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the state treasury to pay the soldiers of the city defense army, compensate the bereaved families of the casualties, and invite people to buy people's hearts. Don't worry, ordinary soldiers won't understand these court battles, whoever is good to them, they will be loyal to whom, now you have a lot of prestige in the city defense army, as long as you control those senior generals and their own soldiers, this matter can be successful. ”
Is it as simple as you say? Ren Xiaoyao stared at the emperor suspiciously, the old man wouldn't want to fool me into sending me to death, right?
After hesitating for a while, Ren Xiaoyao still felt that he couldn't believe the emperor's words, the danger factor was too high. He decided to reason with Qin Chong.
It is reasonable to travel all over the world, everyone is a Sven person who has read books, how bad it is to fight and kill, what should I do if I am injured?
Ren Xiaoyao thinks that he is a pacifist, and if he can not move without using swords, he will try not to move, no matter what disputes and disagreements, if he wants to solve it perfectly, the highest state is not to kill, it is peace......
The emperor saw that Ren Xiaoyao's eyes kept rolling, and knew that this kid must be playing some crooked idea, so the emperor snorted coldly: "This matter is very important, it is related to the national Zuo, you must not be clever and ruin my big thing, otherwise if I die, I will definitely leave a will, so that you will be martyred with me!" ”
Ren Xiaoyao trembled, and said with a pale face: "Don't, the emperor, you have to let Weichen live well, otherwise Mi'er will be a widow, and you won't be able to bear it, right?" ”
The old man is so ruthless, he actually wants to drag me to accompany the funeral, is the emperor's psychology so dark?
The emperor snorted: "Then you will do as I tell you, and you are not allowed to produce any other branches, otherwise I will not be spared!" ”
"Yes."
Breathing a sigh of relief, the emperor looked at Ren Xiaoyao with deep eyes, and after a while, the emperor sighed and said: "You are not yet twenty years old, you have changed to someone else, and now you are still at the age of studying in the academy and taking the Xiucai exam, but I put such a heavy burden on your shoulders, Ren Xiaoyao, do you blame me?" ”
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wechen has never blamed you, to be honest, whether you are a good emperor or not, Wechen doesn't know, but Wechen knows that you are a kind elder, from knowing you to now, you have been tolerating me and taking care of me, Wechen has always been grateful to me, do something to repay you, this is what Wechen should do......"
