137 rounding, military merit is at hand
Sure enough, the person the emperor liked was Meng Shi, and as soon as Lin Xiang and the right minister reported Meng Shi's name, the emperor immediately nodded: "Meng Shi is very good." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As for what is good in the specific way, then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.
The choice of the coach was finalized, and when the holy decree was issued to the Zhenguo Mansion, the whole government was stunned, and they couldn't believe what they had heard.
Their grandfather is going to war? Or the manager?
Belch......
It seems that their grandfather has never been on the battlefield, and their grandfather has taken the route of a literati and a famous man, and he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight at all.
The first time you go to the battlefield, you are the boss, is it really okay?
As for why the eldest son of the eldest son of Zhenguo, who started with military merits, took the literati route, this matter is simple.
Back then, the old prince had a heavy army in his hands, and his prestige in the army was very high, and he was feared by the emperor. The former grandfather of the country, who was Lin Chujiu's maternal grandfather, took the opportunity to hand over the military power in order to save the lives of the whole family.
But this was not enough, in order to completely dispel the old emperor's suspicions, the old prince did not teach his three sons the art of war when he was young, but only taught them to be literati, not asking them to have a chance, only asking them to save their lives.
In addition to the three sons, the daughters of the two in-laws did not marry into the royal family, and the eldest daughter was Lin Chujiu's mother, who was going to marry far away, but then there was a little accident, so she picked the son of the poor family who won the champion, which is now Lin Xiang.
As for the second daughter, the old prince also picked a cold door for her, but before she could say it, the eldest daughter died, and the second daughter was clamoring to marry Lin Zong, and she didn't marry into the high gate.
At that time, the Zhenguo Mansion was powerful, but the old Guogong retreated bravely, although he lost his rights, he kept the family and a hundred years of wealth.
You must know that several families with the same power as the Zhenguo Mansion back then all committed crimes, and none of them survived.
In order to win the trust of the emperor, the old prince's teaching of his three sons is absolutely the same, even if they originally had the talent to fight, but after decades, no matter how good the talent was, it was wasted.
So the people up and down the Zhenguo Mansion couldn't figure it out, how could the emperor pick their eldest lord to lead the troops, and make sure that the emperor was not mistaken?
Not to mention that others can't figure it out, even Meng Shi himself doesn't want to understand, holding the holy decree, Meng Shi was stunned on the spot, completely unaware of what the eunuch in front of him said, he only felt that his brain was buzzing, and he couldn't think at all.
The eunuch who had made the decree was gone, and the crowd turned back into the hall. Meng Shi also walked in with everyone, but he was like a dream at this time, not real at all, the whole person was floating, as if stepping on the clouds, everything in front of him was blurred......
Before Meng Shi could come to his senses, the eldest lady shouted with joy: "The sky has eyes, the emperor has finally reused the master, this is great news." Mother, lord, do you see if we want to open an ancestral hall and report this good news to the ancestors and ancestors, and they will be happy for the lord if they have knowledge. ”
Zhen Guogong only felt that everything in front of him was vague, and he didn't know what the eldest lady said, so of course he wouldn't answer the eldest lady's words.
Mrs. Meng sneered, didn't look at the eldest lady, and her eyes fell on the second and third masters of the Meng family with a happy face, "Second, third, you think so too?" ”
The three sons of the Meng family are all born by the old lady, the brothers of the same mother, although there are usually contradictions, but the three sons of the Meng family will definitely unite in major matters related to the honor and disgrace of the family.
Seeing that his eldest brother was reused by the emperor, Meng Er Ye and Meng San Ye were of course happy, and they couldn't wait to go to the ancestral hall immediately and tell the good news to their dead father, but ......
Seeing Old Madam Meng's stern face, Second Master Meng and Third Master Meng immediately dispelled this idea and asked carefully, "Mother, aren't you happy for your eldest brother?" ”
"Happy? What is there to be happy about? "Mrs. Meng sometimes regrets that she didn't make her three sons smarter, so that she was used by the emperor, and she was stupidly grateful to Dade.
"Mother, are you saying that this errand is not easy for the eldest brother?" Second Master Meng and Third Master Meng had a sudden burst in their hearts, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they had been in a state of chaos, and they also came to their senses at this time, and when they heard this, they frowned slightly, and looked at the old lady with their eyes: "Mother, is there a secret behind this errand?" ”
The three sons of the Meng family have all kinds of badness, but there is one good thing, that is, they are very filial to Mrs. Meng and listen to Mrs. Meng's words.
If it weren't for this, Old Madam Meng wouldn't dare to say in front of Xiao Tianyao that the entire Zhenguo Mansion would become Lin Chujiu's backing.
Mrs. Meng knew that her three sons were not stupid people, but they were raised too simply, and they couldn't see many things thoroughly, and they needed someone to wake up.
Sighing softly, Mrs. Meng said, "Boss, you have never received a real position before, let alone been on the battlefield. Don't you think it's strange that the emperor suddenly ordered you to be the commander-in-chief and let you take 500,000 soldiers and horses to resist the army of the Northern Calendar? ”
Of course, it's strange, no one in the whole family is not strange, but at the same time, they are also very proud, because their master is the first to go on the expedition, which is to be the boss.
Hearing the old lady say this, the little pride in Meng Shi's heart immediately extinguished, and he said quite depressedly: "My son just thinks it's strange, so I can't believe that the holy decree is true." The son has not learned the art of war and strategy since he was a child, and he is not even as good as one percent of his father, so how can he afford such a heavy responsibility. ”
This is the truth, Meng Shi was happy that he was reused by the emperor, but at the same time, he felt extremely stressed.
Leading an army of 500,000 on the expedition is indeed a beautiful scenery, but 500,000 lives, as well as the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the border, are all pressed on him, this burden is too heavy, he can't afford to carry it!
"If you think so, my mother will be relieved." Mrs. Meng breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Meng Shiyi would be excited, and insisted on leading the troops to the battle.
After all, not many people can withstand such temptation.
"So, the eldest brother can't take this errand?" Second Master Meng figured out the clue, and he couldn't be happy.
Meng Sanye was still a little reluctant, and muttered: "The holy decree has been issued, how can you have the final say." ”
The eldest lady was anxious, for fear that Meng Shi would miss a great opportunity, not to mention that she would not have the opportunity to grasp real power in the future, and maybe she would lose the emperor's heart, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "The little uncle is not wrong, the emperor has even issued a holy decree, where can you tolerate the lord not to receive this errand." Besides, even the emperor believes in the master, what else do we have to be afraid of? The tiger father has no dogs, the old man is the son of the old lady, the old lady was in the four countries of Weizhen back then, how could the old man be bad. ”
The more the eldest lady spoke, the more she felt that this was the case, but before she could be happy, she heard the old lady Meng angrily: "Eldest daughter-in-law, shut up!" ”
