Chapter 159: The Great Discussion of the Southern Departure
The next day, the sky was just dark, and the civil and military officials outside the Jinling Imperial City all gathered outside the door to wait, because of the different factions in the court, during the waiting time outside the gate, the civil and military officials all gathered together according to the small faction they belonged to, and discussed what they were.
And unlike them, there are five faces standing outside the city gate today.
Zhou Budo, the prince of Zhou.
Bitter wood, the sword saint wind injustice.
Suddenly, he laughed, and Nanli was the spokesman of Zen Buddhism, the disciple of the Iron Arrow Zen Master.
Qi has no hatred, and the south is away from the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households.
Black Thirteen, a member of the second detachment of the Yulin Black Cavalry.
Each of these five people is wearing a court dress, which can be regarded as decent, but Hei Thirteen, the court dress he is wearing at this time, how uncomfortable it is.
Unlike the other four, Zhou Budo had already purchased a court uniform for the previous dynasty because of his identity, but Hei Thirteen was only a member of Yu Linwei, so the court clothes or something were temporarily rushed out in the past two days.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Budo came forward to use the relationship of the palace to entrust a high-level tailor master, the ghost knows what Black Thirteen would be like today.
However, even the master tailor did not expect that the user of the court clothes he drove out this time would be as majestic and tall as the iron tower.
Even if the scale was measured, but because of the requirements of the silk required for court clothes, Black Thirteen finally reluctantly put it on with the help of everyone, but because of the reason for wearing this kind of clothes for the first time, Black Thirteen always felt a little uncomfortable.
I don't want to think about it, even Zhou Budo, who has long needed to use court clothes many times because of his status as the prince of the palace, is very disgusted to wear this dress, not to mention the black thirteen who is wearing it for the first time.
Before he opened the city gate and entered, the court clothes on Hei Thirteen's body had already collapsed into a small gap.
Zhou Budo pursed his lips, turned his head and rolled his eyes at Hei Thirteen, and couldn't help complaining
"Thirteen, can't you control it a little? After the meeting is in the court, if you tear your clothes, it will really be laughing and generous. ”
However, when Hei Thirteen heard Zhou Budo say this, he was a little aggrieved, and he didn't want to do this, but this dress, why did there be such a tossing clothes?
It's just that it looks a little better, but it's really uncomfortable to wear it.
"No doubt, I heard yesterday that the envoys of Beigen went to the palace?"
Kumu silently walked to Zhou Budo's side, and whispered to Zhou Buji, this news, or Qi Wuxian told him, Qi Wuxian went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen for handover after returning from the god-in-law yesterday, and happened to see Wei Zhongxian's carrier pigeon back to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and learned from the carrier pigeon that Beigen's envoy this time went straight to the Zhou Wangfu as soon as he entered Jinling, if it was an ordinary envoy, forget it.
However, Wei Zhongxian knew the identity of this Beigen envoy from his father-in-law, not to mention that his Wei Zhongxian's cultivation was not bad, and if he looked at Luo Yi from a distance, he could detect the unfathomable depth of Luo Yi's cultivation.
Yandi Jiuqi visited the Zhou Palace, but it was a little strange.
Zhou Budo pouted, he also had a headache, after he was carried all the way back to the bedroom by Lao Zhang yesterday, he finally spent a long time trying to put on the clothes that were not much worse than the court clothes that disgusted him, but as soon as he was dressed, he was going to follow Lao Zhang to the main hall of the palace to receive the Beigen envoys.
The group of Beigen envoys just greeted him, and after greeting him, they withdrew.
I said a few words throughout the whole process, and they left after a while, which made Zhou Budo a little angry, and he spent a long time trying to change into this clothes, and how long did he stay before you left.
It's really, and my heart is very angry.
"Oh yes, they were going to visit Daddy, but Daddy wasn't there, so they said a few words to me and then took their leave."
Hearing Zhou Budo say this, Qi Wuxian frowned slightly, this approach of Yandi Jiuqi made him a little confused.
What the hell are these guys trying to do?
Qi Wuxian slightly turned his head sideways and looked at the Yandi Nine Riders in front of him on his left.
As the envoys of Beigen, they want to represent the goodwill of the Beigen Empire today to greet Emperor Li and the ministers of Nanli in the court, and they are also in a hurry to coincide that today is the great court meeting of Nanli.
Luo Yi also sensed that someone's eyes were watching him at this time, he turned his head to look at the people behind him, and finally locked on Qi Wuxian, Luo Yi smiled at Qi Wuxian and nodded.
For Qi Wuxie, Luo Yi didn't know him, but Zhou Budo was standing in front of Qi Wuxie, Zhou Budo, he knew him from yesterday's visit, so this young man who looked at him with unkind eyes should be one of the people in the group who went to Dongxun to perform a mission with Zhou Budo, the prince of the palace.
And suddenly laughed and saw Qi Wuxian and Luo Yi looking at each other, he was a little worried that Qi Wuxian would suddenly have some friction with Luo Yi, so he simply grabbed Qi Wuxian's sleeve, Qi Wuxian turned his head to look at Qi Wuxi, and only heard Hu Di laugh whispering to him
"Settle down."
Okay, this guy thinks he's going to have an argument with Yandi Jiuqi.
Qi Wuxian rolled his eyes helplessly, why didn't he look forward to his own well? I'm not a fool, what's in it for me to have friction with the Beigen envoys in front of this public, really.
But soon, above the city gate, a eunuch in Tsing Yi shouted harshly at the voice of the civil and military officials below
"Open the door, and the ministers enter."
Hearing this, the civil and military officials under the city all ended their conversations, and they had long been accustomed to standing in several rows, while Zhou Budo and his party were under the leadership of Zhou Budo, standing on the side of the team of civil and military officials, Zhou Budo put his hands in his sleeves, and just stood still with his eyes closed.
This city gate is divided into two passages, and the passage where the civil and military officials line up to stand is in front of a gate, and as for Zhou Budo, they are standing at the small gate next to the gate.
The small door was opened by a eunuch from the inside, and the eunuch bent over and walked quickly to Zhou Budo, and said respectfully to Zhou Budo
"His Royal Highness, please enter the palace."
Zhou Budo let out a hum from his snort, and then he opened his eyes and walked in from the small door with idle steps.
And the civil and military officials on the side did not have any disturbances about Zhou Budo and his party going in first.
As the envoy of Beigen, Luo Yi and his party were a little puzzled by this, and Luo Yi asked in a low voice to an official wearing a crimson court dress beside him
"My lord, please ask, why did the prince of Zhou enter through that small door first? Why don't you open this door? ”
When the crimson court official heard this question, he was a little impatient at first, but when he saw that the person who asked him was an envoy from Beigen, he quickly changed his face and explained to Luo Yi in a careful whisper
"The envoy doesn't know that this passage is divided into the official road and the imperial road, and the official road is the gate in front of us. Originally, it could only be passed by the royal family and the princes and princes, but because of the changes later, this imperial road also allowed some officials and grass people who had made contributions to my southern departure to pass through it. ”
Seeing that Luo Yi understood a little, the official in the crimson court robe paused and continued
"And His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhou, he himself is a member of the royal family, so he can naturally pass through the imperial road, plus His Royal Highness the Prince and his party have made a lot of achievements for my Nanli, so the rest of the people can also pass through the imperial road."
Luo Yi nodded, thanked the Nanli official who patiently answered for himself, and said
"Thank you, sir."
And not long after Zhou Budo and his party entered the imperial city, the gate of this official road was slowly opened from the inside, and the civil and military officials all packed up their court clothes when the gate was opened, and slowly passed through the gate in a very orderly manner and entered the imperial city.
After the civil and military officials entered the Taiji Palace, according to their own official rank and the difference between the civil and military officials, the civil and military officials quietly found the place where they stood.
And Li Dunmin, the emperor of Li, was also at this time, under the service of his father-in-law, he entered from the side of Taiji Palace, walked all the way down the steps to the dragon chair, and sat down.
The civil and military officials knelt down one after another, saluted respectfully to Emperor Li, and said in unison
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
He raised his hand from the ground and said to the civil and military officials
"Today's big court meeting, the topic is still the same as the last big court meeting, you Aiqing for the front-line war, what kind of clever plan to offer, you Aiqing don't have to be restrained, you can speak freely."
But as soon as the emperor's words fell, the civil and military officials fell into silence for a long time, and they didn't know how to start this matter.
If this matter is so easy to solve, it will not be the topic of the two major court meetings in a row, not to mention that the generals who have the right to speak about the war in Nanli are now under the orders of Zhou Wangye and the old marshal of the Bai family, not to mention that Bai Qi's new army came later, and a group of generals were transferred to serve in the new army positions.
It can be said that the generals who are still in Jinling are either old veterans who have retired from the army, or some young and unspeakable young Zhuang military positions, and it is better to count on them to offer a clever plan, and it is better to count on the ideas of the three military masters of the Nanli Third Front to arrange them.
And Emperor Li, he also knows the background of this group of people, these crooked melons and cracked dates, old and young, this topic is just a casual chat, Emperor Li never expected these people to really come up with a clever plan.
Moreover, the highlight of today's court discussion is not this topic.
But for some reason, a young general with a young face with a green face walked out of the ranks of military generals, knelt on one knee, and said to Emperor Li with his head down
"Your Majesty, Weichen has an immature method, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to listen to it?"
"This Aiqing has a law, so he said, it doesn't have to be like this."
Hearing Emperor Lidi say this, the young general was relieved, and then said loudly
"Weichen has observed the battle of my southern departure from the front, and the prince of Zhou, who is responsible for dealing with Dongxun, only needs to transfer a Jingzhou naval army, and then divide the troops to garrison Yueyang County, Tianzhu Mountain and Pingyu County, in this way, you can form a horn trend, in this way, presumably even if Dongxun has ten times the number of troops under the command of Zhou Wangye, Zhou Wangye can also make trouble to block Dongxun's offensive."
Emperor Li frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't know anything about military affairs, but what the young general said was feasible in his opinion, and at the same time, the civil and military officials in the audience also started to discuss with this young general's proposal.
"This plan is feasible, and when the time comes, after the horns are formed, the military master who will deal with Dongxun is still the old man of Zhou Wangye, if that is the case, presumably Dongxun, we should not have to worry."
"Indeed, this method is somewhat unique, according to the book of war, the number of troops under the command of Zhou Wang Ye can completely form this horn trend, not to mention that with the help of the Jingzhou Water Army, Zhou Wang Ye is like a tiger with wings, and it is not impossible to further increase the results."
"Yes, yes, besides, it's still Lord Zhou's old man."
Listening to the discussion of the ministers in the audience, Emperor Li rubbed his temples, and softly called Gonggong Qian, who hurriedly approached Emperor Li, bent over and leaned up, and attached to his ear by Emperor Li, I didn't know what to explain to Gonggong Qian, I saw that Gonggong Qian's face became a little ugly after hearing Emperor Li's words, but he still nodded.
Only then did Emperor Li say to the young generals in the audience
"This law, but, where is the Shang Shu Ling."
When Shang Shuling heard Emperor Lidi calling himself, he ran out of the crowd with a crawl, knelt on the ground with his legs directly and bowed his head to Emperor Li
"Minister, Wei Chen is here, Your Majesty commands."
"Write it down, and pass it to the king of Zhou after the next dynasty."
"Obey the Emperor's orders."
After leaving the emperor and waving his hand, the young general Shang Shuling got up and walked back into his queue.
"Spread the king of Zhou and others to enter the palace."
Father-in-law nodded, and then shouted at the top of his voice
"Spread the king of Zhou and others to enter the palace."
Soon, Zhou Budo and his party walked in unhurriedly from the entrance of the Taiji Palace, the five walked in the middle, and when they walked two steps behind some of the officials standing in the front, Zhou Budo stopped, and the five people behind him also stopped at this time, along with Zhou Budo, the five people knelt down on one knee and saluted to the emperor, saying
"Shizi Zhou is not suspicious, I have seen Your Majesty."
"Grass people bitter wood, I have seen Your Majesty."
"The commander of the Jinsi suddenly smiled, I have seen Your Majesty."
"Jinyi Wei Qianhu has no hatred, I have seen Your Majesty."
"Yulin Wei Hei rode the black thirteen, and I have seen Your Majesty."
The words of the five people fell, and a smile appeared on Emperor Li's face, facing the five people
"Everyone, please."
After watching the five people get up, Emperor Li hooked his hand at Gonggong Qian, and Gonggong Gongma understood the meaning of Emperor Li, and then took out the edict that had been prepared, and said loudly after opening it
"The prince of the world is not suspicious"
Zhou Budo took a step forward and looked at his father-in-law indifferently.
"I performed well in this mission, rewarded 100 taels of gold, 1,000 pieces of cloth, and entered Shangshutai as Shangshulang."
Zhou Budo's face still did not change, and after hearing the reward, he just bowed to the emperor.
"Grass People's Bitter Wood"
After hearing his name, Kumu also took a step forward, waiting for the words of his father-in-law.
"In this mission, defeat Shen Baoxu, the first hidden dragon of Dongxun, raise the prestige of the south of the country, seal the pavilion marquis, and reward a hundred horses of Shu brocade."
For this reward, Kumu's temperament made him not react, but just gave up
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Jinyi Wei Qianhu has no hatred."
Qi Wuxian stepped forward and stood beside Kumu, bowing his head and waiting for his father-in-law's words.
"A thousand taels of silver."
In four short words, Qi Wuxian did not show any indignation, because in this mission, he did not have any performance worth mentioning, and he almost almost buried five people because of his blind trust in the Dongxun Jinyi Guard Branch, and there was no punishment for himself, Qi Wuxian was already thankful.
"The commander of the Jin Division suddenly laughed, and Yu Lin Wei rode the black thirteen."
Suddenly, Xiao and Black Thirteen glanced at each other and stepped forward together
Speaking of these two, Father-in-law cleared his throat before continuing
"Kill the twelve grade monks of Dongxun, save the son Zhou Budoubt, the commander of the Jinyuan Zhijin Division suddenly laughed as the deputy director of the first division of the Jinji Division, gave Fusang the bow, the original Yulin Weihei rode the black thirteen, gave the Pavilion Hou, the two were rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and 2,000 horses of Shu brocade."
When Suddenly, Xiao and Hei Thirteen heard this kind of reward, and their faces suddenly changed, not for anything else, but in fact, the reward for the two of them was a little rich.
The deputy director of the first division of the ruling gold division, this official position is already a one-step climb to the sky and a three-level jump for Su Dixiao, and there is also the Marquis of the Pavilion of the Black Thirteen.
Nanli's title is the most valuable title compared to other continental countries, because Nanli has rarely awarded the title of courtier in the past five hundred years, unless it is the kind of courtier who has made great contributions, Nanli will give the title, and the words of the Pavilion Marquis, although it is the lowest-level knight in the Nanli title, but how to say that this is also a title, the reason why Kumu was given the Pavilion Marquis, it is because he had already made dozens of merits for Nanli before, but there was no reward before, so it was accumulated to this time, simply rewarded the title of Marquis of Kumu Pavilion directly.
But Black Thirteen, Black Thirteen is riding in Black, and the number of missions he has performed is only a handful, so it can't be compared with Kumu, but this time he was also knighted.
The heads of twelve grade monks, even if they were rewarded separately by Hei Thirteen and Su Di Xiao, it was a great achievement.
From this point of view, this pavilion of the Black Thirteen is nothing in it.
Seeing that Hei Thirteen was a little stunned, Zhou Budo frowned, and couldn't help but poke the black thirteen who was in a daze, and Hei Thirteen came back to his senses and couldn't help but feel a little dry.
That's right, he didn't care much about fame and fortune, but the title of Tinghou was sent to his head like this, how could he not be stunned.
And the civil and military officials, especially those who are not very old, looked at Hei Thirteen's eyes at this time, and they all showed a touch of envy.
The older one among them is also in his thirties, and among them, two of the ten people do not necessarily have knighthoods, and the older ones are like this, not to mention those younger officials, seeing that Black Thirteen, an ordinary pawn in the Yulinwei Black Horse, actually came back from Dongxun, and directly ascended to the sky from a pawn to a pavilion marquis, all they can say is envy.
After reading the edict, the father-in-law stepped down, walked to Zhou Budo, solemnly handed over the edict to Zhou Budo's hand, and then returned to the stage and returned to the emperor.
And Emperor Lidi smiled and said to the five little guys
"Okay, today's big court discussion, it is one thing to reward five people, since the reward is over, there is no doubt."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Take them, go down, I have ordered Shang Shuling to write an edict yesterday, ordering you to wait for the five, after resting in Jinling for three days, immediately rush to the front line, the first stop, go to the main account of the old Bai army to listen to the order."
Without the uproar of the civil and military officials when they heard this sudden will, Zhou Budo bowed his hand, and then walked out of the Taiji Palace with the four of them.
And the six Shangshu and Prime Minister, who stood in the forefront of the civil and military officials, only frowned at this, but did not say anything to stop them, the reason why they frowned was only because Zhou Budo and others withdrew early from the Great Dynasty Conference, but think about it, since this is what His Majesty meant, then they are not good at saying anything.
As for the edict drafted by Shang Shuling last night, Emperor Li had already passed it with them, and they had no objection to it, anyway, after all, the bigwigs behind these five little guys did not all acquiesce in this matter, so what qualifications did they have to refute this matter.
After Zhou Budo and his party left the Taiji Palace, they walked down the hundreds of steps of the previous dynasty, only to see the nine Beigen envoys of the Yandi Nine Horsemen led by Luo Yi, still waiting outside for the summons of the Taiji Palace.
Zhou Budo took a deep look at Luo Yi, although he is not a serious monk now, but after this period of experience, when he first saw Luo Yi in the palace yesterday, he felt that this middle-aged man was not something to be messed with.
However, since they were envoys who went to the south to express the goodwill of Beigen on behalf of the Beigen Empire, Zhou Budo and his party had nothing to say to them.
Only Qi Wuxian and Kumu, who knew the inside story, glanced at the nine people of Yandi Nine Riders with some deep meaning.
Especially Kumu, the moment he and Luo Yi's eyes collided, he only felt as if he was facing an unreachable majestic mountain.
This feeling makes Kumu sure, this middle-aged man's cultivation is very strong, although it is not strong to that level, but even in the grade monk, no, even in the ninth-grade monk, this middle-aged man is a master who is difficult to meet opponents.
And looking at the other eight people, Kumu's face showed a rare trace of rigor, because he also noticed that the remaining nine people, even the weakest young man, were not comparable to his current self.
If it was to fight, Kumu felt that any of these nine people could defeat themselves within three moves!
