Huo Tao was worried about the replacement of the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard, and Gu Yan and Shen Du were also planning this matter.

After Fang Jixin's accident, the prince of Changyin once again sent a message to the Shen family, reminding Shen Du that the position of the general of the Fu family's Western Xinjiang Wei was not guaranteed, and it was advisable to make plans as soon as possible.

After Shen Su knew the reminder of the Changyin Prince, he said to Shen Du: "It seems that the emperor wants to decide on the candidate for the general of the Western Frontier Wei before Fu Tong arrives in Jingzhao. It seems that the matter is quite urgent. How did you think about it? ”

The you he asked were Shen Du and Gu Yan. He knew that the pair of children often met, and he also knew that Gu Yan was extremely good at strategizing, and it was impossible not to discuss this matter with the little girl of the Gu family.

Shen Duhao made a face, and then said with a straight face: "There is no suitable candidate yet, and it is too difficult to find the person who has been promoted to the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard." ”

He's right, it's really hard to find a suitable replacement. Otherwise, Huo Tao would not have lost so much hair. Xijiang Wei is too important, it is the gateway of Dading, who will guard this door, there can be no negligence.

There are two ways to appoint the generals: one is to rotate the generals of each guard, and the other is to come from the royal family. It's just that in recent years, due to the jealousy of Emperor Jianhe and Emperor Chongde towards the children of the imperial family, the second way has basically been abolished.

In other words, nine times out of ten, the candidates for the generals of the Western Xinjiang Wei were selected from among the generals of the Wei Guard. Although there were only sixteen people to choose from, Shen Du and Gu Yan sifted and sifted, but they couldn't find a suitable person.

This replacement. To have the ability to shoulder the responsibility of the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard, we must really think about Dading and be able to block Dasheng's various attacks and bribes; can love the people of Western Xinjiang, and will not take the Fu family; To be recognized by the emperor, it must not arouse the emperor's jealousy......

Listening to Shen Du's various embarrassments, Shen Su couldn't help laughing: "It's strange that there can be a suitable candidate for a method like yours." Well, it's much easier to weed out those who have problems. ”

Shen Du paused, and said helplessly: "I have already done this." Still no one. Xiangyangwei is immovable. Wei Jianhou of Xijiangwei is too mediocre, and Gu Chuanxun of Lingnan Wei is too greedy......"

"Stop, stop, so. Take your time to choose this candidate. Selected. Let me take a closer look. Shen Su waved his hand and said, he didn't want to hear the names of Shen Du's generals of the guards, and his ears hurt when he heard it.

He thought to himself: It seems. I'll have to think carefully about this candidate for the Western Frontier Guard.

Seeing Shen Su's expression, the corners of Shen Du's mouth hooked. He knew that when it came to the Western Frontier Guard and the Dading Army, his father would never stand idly by.

That night, Shen Du went to Tongyin Xuan in the Qibi Courtyard, told Gu Yan about Shen Su's attitude, and said to Gu Yan with a smile: "Father is more familiar with the situation in the army, and I hope to find a suitable person to come." ”

Gu Yan felt amused when he thought of Shen Du's name and the embarrassment of the emperor. I didn't expect that the gloomy iron-blooded emperor would be like this, and I didn't expect that the majestic and steady Shangshu Ling Shen in his previous life would have such a naughty side.

Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she looked at Shen Du for a moment, until the tips of Shen Du's ears turned red, and she coughed uncomfortably: "Ah Bi, why do you look at me like this?" ”

If you look at me like this, I'll ...... Ahem.

Gu Yan's smile deepened. She knew that this Lord Shen was steady and silent in the court, but he was actually the easiest to be shy, which was really fun. - At this moment, Gu Yan will definitely not admit that she is teasing this adult.

The atmosphere in Tongyin Xuan was suddenly a little sweet, Shen Du's ears were red, and he felt that the little girl in front of him was really good-looking, her eyes were like bright stars, and her lips were red, which was extremely attractive.

The cry of "squeak, squeak" sounded in Tongyin Xuan, which instantly brought Shen Du back to his senses, and he realized that he was about to approach Gu Yan, and Gu Yan was closing his eyes. He was in a daze just now, and he was obviously here to discuss things with her......

However, he still couldn't help but scratch a small circle: You little thing, you are here to do bad things!

Xiaoquan was still smiling like that, not understanding the deep meaning in Shen Du's eyes, and stretched out his chubby short claws towards Shen Du in appreciation, not knowing what he had just done.

This time, it was Gu Yan's turn to blush, what was she doing with her eyes closed just now? Thinking about so many miscellaneous things, ahem, she has something to say.

She fanned it with her hand, and after the heat on her face subsided, she said to Shen Du in a condensed voice: "Today I remembered the ring I made for you, but I thought of a suitable person......

The ring was on Shen Du's finger at the moment. However, the imitation wrench presented by Chen Wei has been included in the arsenal of Weiwei Temple. The person Gu Yan thought of was in Weiwei Temple.

That person is Zhu Youji of Weiwei Temple. This is his official position, in fact, this official position is dispensable to him, he is just an idler in Weiwei Temple, and the officials of Weiwei Temple will not care about him.

His other identity is: Zhu Youji, the king of Xianjun. has been crowned the king of the county, which shows that his relationship with Emperor Chongde is not very estranged, at least much closer than Zong Zhengqing Zhu Youluo.

He is good at martial arts, but he is not proficient. He has put all his heart and soul on martial arts for many years, but he can't even beat ordinary Jingzhao Mansion soldiers. Fortunately, he was not discouraged by defeat, and he was not discouraged even if he was defeated, and he was defeated three times...... Well, in fact, I have been defeated countless times, and I still like fists and feet, knives and guns, and I am tireless.

The royal family ridiculed him as an "embroidered pillow", but this person was unexpectedly treated favorably by Emperor Chongde, who not only let him serve in Weiwei Temple, but also gave him the title of the king of Xianjun.

When Zhu Xiuhua is mentioned in the DPRK, everyone knows who it is. When Gu Yan said the name "Zhu Youji", Shen Du was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Ah Bi, what did you say, but that Zhu Xiuhua in Weiwei Temple?" ”

Zhu Youji will not arouse the emperor's jealousy, but those who can be qualified to be the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard must be capable people. Zhu Youji, as the king of Xianjun, will indeed not arouse the emperor's jealousy, but he is known as an embroidered pillow, how much ability can he have? This is no child's play!

Gu Yan nodded firmly, lowered his voice and replied, "That's right." That's him! As far as I know, he is a man of great ability, and now he is doing nothing, and he is deliberately pretending. ”

If he hadn't experienced a lifetime, Gu Yan wouldn't have known that Zhu Youji was hiding so deeply. In the previous life, Zhu Youji later became the general of Mindongwei, well-trained and well-trained with the army, and beat the water thieves in the eastern Mindong area so that they never dared to appear again; When the three early palaces changed, they also made great contributions. Such a person. How could it be an embroidered pillow?

Zhu Youji is brave and strategic. It will not cause the emperor to be jealous, and more importantly, it can be seen from the changes in the Sanchu Palace that the right and wrong of his people are very clear. It is to put Dading in the first place. Such people. It just meets the standards of the Western Xinjiang Wei General.

listened to Gu Yan's words. Shen Du began to seriously consider Zhu Youji. Ah Bi can't lie, so this Zhu Youji is a person with great skills. Is it feasible for him to be the general of the Western Frontier Guard? The royal family served as the general of the Western Xinjiang Guard. There has been no such thing in recent decades, will the emperor agree?

Shen Du's brows furrowed, he frowned, thinking about the possibility of Zhu Youji becoming a general, and finally said: "Ah Bi, I ask my father to refer to this person, if it is feasible, I will sue you again." In short, those treacherous people will never be allowed to take over as the general of the Western Frontier Guard. ”

Gu Yan nodded and said, "You should ask Shen Lao to take a closer look, what he has considered is much more thoughtful than ours." ”

General Xijiang Wei is about to become a big stone in Gu Yan's heart, if she can't solve this matter well, she can't sleep well. At first, she cared about this matter because of the Fu family, but now it is more influenced by Shen Du, such an important Western Frontier Guard, it must not be handed over casually!

On the second day, Shen Du sued Shen Su about the selection of Zhu Youji and asked for his opinion. Can this person be a general? If you can, how can you push this person to the emperor?

Hearing the name "Zhu Youji", Shen Su pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect anyone to notice him...... How could I have forgotten this person, the idle boy back then. If it were him, Xijiangwei would be able to stabilize it. ”

Shen Du was confused when he heard it. Listening to his father, he and Zhu Youji still have a relationship? What's going on?

Shen Du didn't know that Shen Su had indeed spent some time with Zhu Youji, and that was before Shen Su became Emperor Chongde's teacher. Even Gu Yan didn't know that Zhu Youji served as the general of Mindongwei in the previous life in order to live up to Shen Su's trust.

In the flow of the world, there will always be such and such causes and effects, and there will always be such and such convergences, and this is the cause.

The father and son were silent for a long time, and finally Shen Du spoke first: "Father, if Zhu Youji is pushed in front of the emperor, it is not appropriate for anyone to come forward to recommend it." I thought, let's go through the list of Huo Tao's construction. ”

Huo Tao has not submitted a candidate for a long time, presumably he is also hesitant about the right candidate, one more list is one more choice. It just so happens that Uncle Lu and Huo Tao have a good relationship, so you can ask Uncle Lu to find Huo Tao.

That night, Lu Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took two pots of rice wine and went to Huo Tao for a drink. These two pots of rice wine were sent back from Runzhou by the county lord of Changyi, and Lu Qing has always been precious and reluctant to drink them. If it weren't for Shen Du's trust, he wouldn't want to take these two pots of wine out.

Huo Tao, the guy who drinks like a cow, is really a tyrannical thing to give him these two pots of rice wine!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emperor Chongde had been waiting for Huo Tao's candidate for Jianyì, and as Shen Su had expected, he wanted to select someone before Fu Tong entered Beijing. But when he saw Huo Tao's life, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Pang Zhen was still expected by Emperor Chongde, but how could the name Zhu Youji appear here?

Huo Tao bent down and began to explain the reason for his recommendation to Emperor Chongde: "Longxi Wei is adjacent to Xijiangwei, and the two Wei have many contacts. Pang Zhen was more familiar with the Western Frontier Guard than the other generals of the guards, and he was more accustomed to the bitter cold there. In this way, there will be a lot less turmoil in the Western Frontier......"

Huo Tao said the construction of the staff. The relationship behind Pang Zhen, Huo Tao also went to investigate. Of course, there are powerful and noble relations, but none of them have a relationship with the rest of the Wei generals, which is in line with the principle of electing officials.

Seeing that Emperor Chongde did not speak, Huo Tao continued:

As for Zhu Youji, it stems from a hidden worry of the minister. The Fu family has served as the general of the Western Xinjiang Wei for several generations, and no matter what, it has a deep impact on the Western Xinjiang Wei. In order to reduce the conflict, this identity as a general is best to suppress the Fu family. King Xianjun is a royal clan, with royal majesty, which is the most suitable. Moreover, the greatest ability of King Xianjun is not to grudge with others, and sooner or later he will be able to eliminate the influence of the Fu family......"

Huo Tao said that this speech was not all for the sake of the two pots of Runzhou rice wine, but more importantly, he thought that Lu Qing's reasons were very sufficient, and he really considered the situation of Xijiangwei.

Huo Tao was appointed as the secretary of the military department, and of course he knew the situation of "the king does not see the king" of the guards. There are 16 guards in Dading, and each guard restricts each other and disobeys each other. If the general of Longxiwei goes to Xijiangwei, it is not known whether he can subdue Xijiangwei, but what is known is that there will be a battle.

In particular, the prestige of the Fu family in the Western Xinjiang Guard is very heavy, and the best way for the new general to establish his authority is for the Fu family to open the knife. Pang Zhen is on the throne, it must be so, how can Huo Tao bear it?

Zhu Youji is a member of the royal family, and he is famous for his embroidered pillows, smiling all day long. Such a person took over the Western Frontier Guard, and there were not many waves. No matter how the soldiers of the Western Frontier Guard are, they don't dare to openly confront the royal family!

For this replacement candidate, Huo Tao can be said to be heartbroken. Now that the candidates have finally been submitted, it depends on how the emperor chooses.

Emperor Chongde looked at the two candidates in his hand and did not speak for a long time. One is Pang Zhen, the general of Longxi Wei, who remembered in a trance that this person had been standing in the middle, and he did not support himself to ascend the throne back then; One is Zhu Youluo of Weiwei Temple, the king of Xianjun who was personally crowned by himself, who is idle and is an embroidered pillow.

Which one to choose? Pang Zhenke, Zhu Youji can also.

For a time, Emperor Chongde was also difficult to decide.

At night, in the magnificent Kunning Palace, there were still bright candles, reflecting the young and soft face of Queen Xie Zi, but there was no trace of coldness hidden in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

In front of her, there was a waiter kneeling, but his body was much more slender than the average waiter. Seeing the appearance of this waiter, Xie Zi couldn't help but laugh. Hehe, I didn't expect it to be her, and there will be a good show to watch in the future.

"Your master, do you want Pang Zhen to get the position of General of the Western Frontier Guard?" Xie Zijiao asked with a smile.

Her laughter is different from the tactful and feminine of Concubine Shu, but a unique coquettishness, as if gently teasing people's hearts, making people tremble and hot.

It's a pity that this kneeling is an inner servant, and no matter how coquettish the voice is, it doesn't mean anything to this person. Therefore, the chamberlain calmly replied: "My master said that he has a deep friendship with Zhu Youji's son, so it is appropriate for Zhu Youji to serve as the officer." Lao Niangniang bothered. ”

Xie Zi gently stroked the armor of his tail finger, as if he was caressing his favorite person, and then said with a coquettish smile: "This palace knows." ”

(Extra: Actually, I also like Xie Zi, not bad~) (To be continued......)
