Chapter 46: The farce of the Xikun military camp
In the barracks, from time to time there were bursts of obscene voices from a tent in the center, and the soldiers guarding outside the tent were red-faced, but they couldn't say anything.
And the patrol that passed by from time to time outside the tent passed by the tent at a hurry, for fear that the sound of their patrol would disturb the noble man in the tent.
It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a red official robe to come, this person's face was like a red date, standing outside the camp tent with extraordinary momentum, after hearing the sound from the camp tent, his face suddenly became iron-blue, one palm slowly clenched, and he stepped out of his left foot to break in.
"Lord Chu, Lord Chu, slow down, the little prince is busy discussing the important affairs of the military aircraft with people inside, if you don't have any will, it's better not to go in now."
The soldiers guarding outside the tent saw that the middle-aged man was about to break in, and hurriedly stopped him.
Lord Chu's face was pale, his tone was full of anger, and he yelled at the soldier in front of him who stopped him
"Discuss something important? Discussing important matters will come out of such vulgar voices? Why don't you all give the old man a retreat! ”
With a wave of Lord Chu's sleeve, a strong palm force swept through his sleeve and smashed heavily on those soldiers.
The soldiers were caught off guard, and were hit by the force of the palm and flew to the fence and crashed into it.
Seeing those soldiers lying on the ground struggling to get up, Lord Chu snorted coldly, waved his sleeves again, and broke directly into the camp tent.
After entering the camp tent, Master Chu was stunned by the scene he saw in front of him.
I saw that a pool was arranged in the middle of the camp tent at some point, and several young women were playing in the pool in revealing clothes, and on the board on the side, a young child was eating the fruit on the table with a smile on his face while looking at the Chu Master who broke in.
"I don't know why Lord Chu came to my barracks today? Xiao Wang is very tired of being disturbed by outsiders when he is in his heart, if Lord Chu has a reasonable explanation for Xiao Wang, then don't blame Xiao Wang for being rude. ”
When the words fell, the little prince leaned down and lifted Erlang's legs, looking so embarrassed.
Seeing the little prince lying down, two women in transparent gauze clothes walked out from behind the curtain, stepped forward gently, sat down cross-legged, and began to beat the little prince's back.
When Lord Chu saw this scene, he was angry, pointed to the pool with his fingers, and said angrily to the little prince
"If the old minister remembers correctly, His Majesty ordered half a month ago, ordering the little prince to lead this army to Lingyang County, right?! But what are you doing now, little prince? Indulge in these wines? ”
The little prince sighed, squinted at Lord Chu, and replied calmly to him nonchalantly
"Why, Lord Chu, are you here to ask Xiao Wang Xingshi today? Xiao Wang's army can be mobilized whenever he wants, where will it be your turn to be the official of the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court to give advice? ”
After saying that, the little prince turned over, stretched out his hand and scratched the itch, and then waved his hand and continued
"If there is nothing else, Master Chu, you can go back, Xiao Wang is tired, and I don't want to continue to have any verbal disputes with you."
This little!
Lord Chu forcibly endured the anger in his heart, waved his sleeves vigorously, snorted angrily, turned around and walked out of the camp without looking back.
Walking out of the tent, Master Chu looked at the soldiers who were far away immediately after seeing his figure, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked out pretending to be fine.
In the tent, the little prince who was enjoying being served by the young women smiled and smiled after feeling that the prince had gone away.
And the woman next to her who was beating the little prince's back felt very strange, so she asked out loud
"Little prince, did you remember anything happy? How to laugh. ”
The little prince turned over and hugged the woman into his arms, laughing and saying
"It's a good thing to be able to look at the old man who can't say anything when he is angry, hahahaha."
As he spoke, the little prince slowly swam around the woman's palm, causing the woman to cry out for a while.
attracted the envy of many women in the camp tent.
What kind of troops can be dispatched to deal with a mere southern departure, and let the black-robed Holy Monarch go with those few troops, this king? This king is such a big card, playing in this card game, he is far from eating or not, hahahaha, the old man is a poor scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he actually licked his face and came over to question the king, if it weren't for the emperor's brother who was extremely fond of him, the king would have killed him and took his head as the king's urinal.
Yes, this little prince is a powerful prince of Xikun Kingdom, he and the contemporary Emperor Kun are brothers of compatriots, and the title he inherited is also the title of a prince with a different surname who has made great military achievements in Xikun Country in the previous generation.
Because the prince with a different surname holds the military power, and has a lot of military achievements, and his prestige in the court is also extremely strong, after this generation of Emperor Kun succeeded to the throne, the prince with a different surname inevitably had some careful thoughts in his heart, and he prepared for several years to overthrow the regime of Xikun to change the dynasty single-handedly.
But after the East Window incident, Emperor Kun had long known the careful thinking of this prince with a different surname, and secretly sent people to win over some of the right-hand men of the prince with a different surname in the army and promised a high position, and attracted many people to come over, and then sent a dead man to assassinate all the blood of the prince with a different surname, and finally a cup of poisonous wine gave the prince with a different surname to death, and declared that he was overworked and mentally exhausted and unfortunately died, and then Emperor Kun was afraid that the army in the hands of the prince with a different surname would be against him. He nominally succeeded his younger brother to the prince with a different surname who had just died, and naturally let his royal brother take over the prince, and handed over the army in the hands of the prince with a different surname to this imperial brother, this series of means, for this Emperor Kun, is simply clean and neat, so that countless ordinary people in the Xikun Kingdom are still in the dark, and I really think that the truth is as Emperor Kun said.
And since he took over this great authority with the help of his emperor's brother, what this little prince has done has been spurned by countless people.
But it was because of his current authority and the protection of his emperor's brother that no one dared to say anything to him, even those members of the court had an attitude of not messing with him as much as possible.
Because although this person is absurd, but he leads the troops to fight is still reasonable, although it can't be said how good, but it can also be said to be decent, at least in Dongxun, it can be said that his level is good.
And that Lord Chu, born in the Ministry of Rites, one of the six departments of the Xikun Imperial Court, is nearly half a hundred years old, is upright, with two sleeves and a clean breeze and a righteous spirit, these words are completely made for this old man, this old man has learned to be rich since he was young, but when he was taking the examination, because he exposed the fraud in the examination room, he was hated by some officials and secretly suppressed, which made this Lord Chu tired for half his life and finally entered the Ministry of Rites, one of the six ministries, under the appreciation of Emperor Kun, and became a waiter of the Ministry of Rites. And the reason why Emperor Kun appreciated this guy was also because Lord Chu was a veritable courtier who thought about the country.
However, as a contending minister, Lord Chu's flaws are also obvious, that is, he is extremely defensive of the correct instructions, and for some wrong policies, he will also jump out to correct them as soon as possible, even if which order is drawn up by Emperor Kun himself, as long as there is a mistake, he will not hesitate to jump out to correct it, which is why Lord Chu worked hard for half his life until the end of his life and reluctantly became a waiter of the Ministry of Rites with the help of Emperor Kun.
Because he has made too many enemies, there are so many traitors among the hundreds of officials in the court of Xikun Kingdom, isn't the appearance of this prince here to smash their jobs? If it weren't for the protection of Emperor Kun behind this prince, I am afraid that he would have been pointed out by some traitorous ministers as horses and then exiled to the frontier to serve as an army.
On the other side, Lord Chu met Emperor Kun who was practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall with an angry face.
Emperor Kun was dressed in a strong suit at this time, and a seven-foot spear in his hand was waved like a flying dragon, after hearing the person who came to inform Lord Chu that he wanted to see him, Emperor Kun threw the spear to the eunuch who served on the side, took the towel from the hand of the palace maid, wiped his sweaty face, walked to the chair unhurriedly, and put the towel aside after wiping.
Picking up the teacup that had been poured with tea, and after taking a sip, Master Chu also happened to walk in angrily.
Lord Chu first knelt on the ground and saluted Emperor Kun, and then did not get up, but just arched his hand and said in a deep voice to Emperor Kun
"Your Majesty, why did you issue the decree of dispatching troops to Lingyang County half a month ago, but now, the Wudang army in the military camp outside the city has not yet left, and is still there as idle as before."
It's also a shame that Emperor Kun has long known Lord Chu's straight nature, and Emperor Kun is not a monarch with a small belly, otherwise he would have said this to Lord Chu, and if it was changed to other monarchs, he would have been dragged down and cut down seven or eight times.
Emperor Kun smiled awkwardly, sighed helplessly, put the teacup on the tea table, and spread his hands to explain to Lord Chu
"Why should Lord Chu be angry about this, please calm down first."
"No, if Your Majesty can't give the old minister an explanation, the old minister will kneel here today and not leave."
Listening to Lord Chu's extremely firm words, Emperor Kun shook his head for some reason and continued to explain
"Lord Chu, if I remember this matter correctly, it should have nothing to do with your Ministry of Rites, the people from the Ministry of War haven't come to me to talk about this matter in the past few days, why did the people from your Ministry of Rites meddle in this matter? This is a violation of the rules of the imperial court. “
Seeing that Emperor Kun deliberately opened the topic, Lord Chu secretly took a deep breath, crawled to the ground and continued in a deep voice
"Where do those people in the military department dare to provoke the little prince, but the old minister is not afraid, in the eyes of the old minister, the little prince should rest the army outside Lingyang County now, instead of staying in the military tent as usual to do those obscene things! It is true that the old minister is an official of the Ministry of Rites, but the old minister is also an official of Xikun Kingdom, and the old minister must not only think about the policy of the Ministry of Rites, but also think about the future of my Xikun! With all due respect, this battle is not a small country around me Xikun, and the opponent I face in this battle is the Nanli country that has dominated the continent for thousands of years, and this battle is not so easy to win, and the old minister thinks that I Xikun must not take this lightly! “
