Chapter Seventy-Eight: Border Pass 2
They are all people who understand, but it is imperative to pretend to be stupid, just like Chen Xu said - hearing is false, seeing is believing! The stakes are very high, and Chen Dong does not dare to guarantee that he Chen Xu is reborn as a new person is true, although he is a brother, it is related to the lives of many people, Chen Dong is not cautious, not to mention, Liu Shangwu did this risky move at that time to avoid everyone being criticized.
Still don't trust me. Shaking his head secretly, Chen Xuxin said: It's best to be the one in the palace who is catching shadows! remembered that Zhao Pengfei woke up intentionally or unintentionally before leaving, shook his head, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
I don't know what he meant by smiling bitterly, Chen Dong coughed lightly and said, "What if...... If you really think about it like this, General Liu and I can't stop it, right? As the saying goes, there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add! ”
glanced at his brother, he was very annoyed and deliberately talked about him and Liu Shangwu together, and said in his heart: I am still your own brother!
Thinking like this, but I was embarrassed to say it, thinking of the unbearable past, embarrassed, I said slowly: "Zhao Pengfei said before I left, 'Zhang Youcai hasn't seen him for a few days, and Zhang Kang and Wu Jiang are taking care of business in Kyoto City, and I don't know what they are busy with? 'If you analyze it, does it mean something?' ”
In this way, it is obvious that he has been watched for a long time, Chen Dong still has a certain understanding of his top boss, and he was stunned by the emperor to press the seat of the secretary of the civilian military department, and he can't say that he has no scheming, but in combination with the emperor's dispatch of ministers to the border to inspect the border pass, this statement also means something.
Thinking about it, Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Xu for a long time, "That spy leader has to bother you a lot...... no matter what you think, I know that Liu Shangwu is really impeccable to you and me and my family, isn't it?" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Xu, who agreed, grinned softly.
From beginning to end, the conversation between the brothers was very vivid, but this sentence made him feel the warmth of family affection.
……
Before the meal, it is imperative to be open and honest accordingly, even if it is coarse tea, it can also quench your thirst, right? The first battle between the two sides also started in the handsome tent.
"Lord Xu, if there is anything that needs the help of General Ben, just open your mouth and do your best."
Greetings are inevitable. Xu Zaibo will never look for clues under his nose, there is no doubt that they both know each other, Liu Shangwu said this, it is nothing more than a scene.
"Hahaha...... The general is a cheerful man. Rubbing his hands with a dry smile, Xu Zaibo looked at Liu Shangwu, "When you get to General Liu's land, of course you need your full support, otherwise, the lower officials will have to go back to see the emperor with their heads." ”
"Huh? The meaning of Lord Xu's words, why does General Ben feel full of blood! ”
The sudden exudation of the majesty made Xu Zaibo feel excited, and the person who came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood had a natural murderous aura, even if it was deliberate, it was not something that a civil official could withstand.
"Lord Xu is going to carry the head of the official Xiang Shangren back to Kyoto to resume his life!?"
Waving his fat hands in a panic, Xu Zaibo stammered, "Big ...... Checkmate...... You are wrong, the lower official means to say...... Say..."
"That is to say, if you can't cut off General Ben's head, your head will not be protected!"
Suddenly, interrupting his stumbling words, Liu Shangwu's eyes were even more shining, and his cold voice made Xu Zaibo Han from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart, he wanted to say something to test Liu Shangwu's bottom line, but he didn't expect that it was like stepping on the tail of a tiger, and at this time he couldn't explain it clearly, looking in the direction of Princess Ruxuan, his eyes were full of pleading.
The commander who has been stationed at the border for many years, how can you easily offend? If he is not here today, Liu Shangwu, who is tantamount to the Emperor of the Soil, grasps the mistakes between the words, how can he give up? A civil servant, and he still wants to give the famous border commander a dismount, but he really thinks that this is under the protection of the emperor in Kyoto City?
Princess Ruxuan, who was secretly slandering herself, smiled and raised her hand to caress a strand of hair scattered from her forehead, "Lord Xu's words, Ben Qincha doesn't listen to it!" Why do you want to see your father with your head up? Doesn't this mean that you have to find out what is wrong with General Liu? Don't give me a look, I can't explain clearly, Ben Chin Cha can't help you! ”
Those who can listen listen to the doorway, and those who can't listen to watch the excitement!
The civil and military officials on both sides of the tent were all silent, staring at this guy for a moment and playing their own tricks.
Who doesn't know that he Xu Zaibo wants to be anti-guest-oriented, and he expects to trample Liu Shangwu's majesty under his feet in the name of inspection.
It is even more clear that Liu Shangwu seized the loopholes in his words and chased and beat hard, not giving an inch not to maintain the prestige of the landlord, but also unwilling to be subordinated.
There are also some people who understand Princess Ruxuan's words, on the one hand, her future father-in-law, on the other hand, her father and the subordinates who are responsible for this inspection.
Raise your thick eyebrows high, and snort heavily under your angry eyes! Liu Shangwu showed full anger, if it weren't for him Xu Zaibo Emperor was on his side, he would have tore his hands to the eight-petal expression, and in the eyes of the soldiers at the border gates, they all held their chests high and their faces were solemn.
In fact, most of the border soldiers did not know why the Great Food Country suddenly approached the border pass and withdrew from the army when the crisis in Kyoto was lifted. There is no way to speculate about the emperor sending Lord Qincha to inspect, but the trust in Liu Shangwu over the years will never change, so there is hostility towards this line, if it weren't for Princess Ruxuan is the minister of Qincha and has a marriage contract with Liu Zuochen, at this time, she will definitely give the sanctimonious Xu Zaibo a look.
What kind of place is this, it is the border pass under Liu Shangwu's governance for many years, but it is not the Jinluan Hall in Kyoto City, and maintaining Liu Shangwu's dignity is to maintain the respect that the soldiers of the entire border pass swear to guard the border pass should have.
"Say it! If you don't give General Ben a reasonable explanation today, hum ......, unscrew your head, General Ben went naked to the emperor to plead guilty, and I have to ask why the Holy One had to send someone to humiliate His Majesty! ”
It was like a blow to the head, and Xu Zaibo's soul was scared. Is this worth it? Looking at Liu Shangwu's unrelenting momentum, he has to explain. At this time, I found out that he was fighting alone in the southwest border on this trip, and it was not someone to help him as the emperor said, let alone what he imagined, Liu Shangwu might be jealous.
How did he Xu Zaibo know that Liu Shangwu wanted to use this reason to let the border soldiers form a momentum of common hatred and hatred, and in the face of breaking into the house and premeditating inspections, how could he not know what he had done? At the same time, scare and scare this guy who is very sloppy, so as not to panic in his heart when he looks at it arrogantly in the military camp.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
At this time, Xu Zaibo really understood the meaning of this sentence, and he was about to be screwed off his head, and if he didn't understand, he was really a fool.
From the Kyoto Rebellion, he became a scholar, he didn't want to bury the glory and wealth that he had cultivated for half his life in such a mess, and the reason for taking a step back and opening up the sky was even more reasonable.
At this time and that time, don't want Lao Tzu to catch your handle! For the emperor's far-reaching vision and planning, he Xu Zaibo can be said to be convinced! In such a way, the people were mobilized to come to inspect, and it must be that the village is greasy and the saint is also suffering from the lack of conclusive evidence.
The thought was racing, the beads of sweat the size of beans "crackled" down his cheeks, and the teacup in his hand swayed, but he couldn't organize an effective word explanation.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Chen Xu suddenly coughed sharply, and pulled everyone's eyes to his body as he wished, "Xiaguan thinks that Lord Xu means that he should make achievements by getting the emperor's reuse, and this achievement is of course pros and cons, and ...... has worked together with General Liu for many years, and the violation of law and military discipline has naturally not had the slightest hint under the rule of General Liu, such as the crossbow and the blade in hand, which is the blessing of the people of my great Antai......
"Yes, ......yes, yes, yes, what General Chen said is very true, and the lower officials also mean this...... this ...... Find out if there are other barracks under the general's rule that can be used for reference or improvement. Xu Zaibo said, picked up a pair of fat hands on his chest, and walked in the direction of Kyoto City, and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, if the lower officials can't do this thing, wouldn't they really go back to Kyoto with their heads to restore their lives?" ”
I never expected that the person who got rid of the dilemma for himself was Chen Xu, who had never crossed paths, and Xu Zaibo, who was secretly grateful, got up and left his seat to Liu Shangwu is salute, "The previous words of the lower official were wrong, and I asked the general to forgive me, it was all the fault of the lower official, the wrong ...... It's ......'s wrong."
"That's it......, it seems that General Ben is wrong to blame you, sorry, sorry!" Saying sorry, Liu Shangwu's face was still extremely ugly.
In fact, what's wrong, he Xu Zaibo is really hard to say, saying that he came to the border to pull your pigtails Liu Shangwu? Or is the purpose of the trip ambiguous? Could it be that it can be said that it is the will of God? I don't dare to say anything about it! It is a trivial matter to have his tongue cut out, and if the head on the neck is really screwed off, there will be nothing left for the guy who reasons.
Fortunately, Liu Shangwu didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, and reminded everyone who came to inspect - the tiger's beard is not easy to fiddle with! I also give a reminder to all the border soldiers present - there is nothing to be afraid of, it's not a soft egg!?
At present, the happiest person may be Chen Dong, if Chen Xu really recognizes his mistake as he said, so that Xu Zaibo can undoubtedly get his enough trust, and there is a lonely person on the surface, and it is strange that someone is unhappy and ungrateful to help him!
