The two young generals of the Marshal's Mansion in Fenyang Town walked out with smiles, and the veteran was sad. The two teenagers who had gone away came in a hurry and left in a hurry, as if they had done something earth-shattering. I didn't have time to say a few words when I handed over the order in the morning, so I just wrote a letter to the military department of Taiping City to educate my son well.

Chen Geng wanted to say a few more words, but the young man didn't seem to care about the wind and rain of Taiping at all. Until now, it is still necessary to pretend to be confused in front of this group of young people, and the thirteenth battalion has gone very smoothly for most of the past six months. It is easy to go up to the mountains to hunt, go down to the river to fish, and even make money. The war horses of the major camps were picked up, how could he not know as a marshal, and he had been pressing the generals to tolerate it. Even the autumn wind on the border has to be tolerated and pretended not to know, and the most unexpected thing is 300 acres of arable land.

Outside the gate of the Great Shuai's Mansion, Xue Liren walked out and looked at the distant young man and said, "It's really a pity that a young man like Dashuai died in a conspiracy. If Lin Shuai is still here, he will definitely not do this, Liu Zhixing will do this, why do you do this, Dashuai. ”

Chen Geng suddenly turned his head to look at Xue Liren, this senior general in the army has always been unconvinced in many places since he became the commander-in-chief. Today, he actually said it directly, and even moved out of Lin Xie. How could Chen Geng not understand that in the Changfeng Army and even in the entire Liang Nanjing, there are a few people who are convinced of a person who has used his age advantage to become handsome. is nearly fifty years younger than Lin Xie, and almost all of his generation are under Lin Xie's aura. From Lin Xie's deputy general to the deputy coach, and then to the current coach.

said: "I don't want such a young man to get involved in this turmoil, you think the thirteen battalions given by His Majesty are so easy to hold." This matter should have been done a long time ago, I am afraid that there is no more suitable person than Liu Zhixing in the entire Changfeng Army. Could it be that Xue Liren can you do this, or do you think which general has the ability to deal with the Huping Meng family. ”

Xue Liren didn't speak, and the Changfeng Army had only been in control of the Meng family for thirteen years. Many generals are from the Meng family, if it is Lin Xie's thunderbolt method, the current Changfeng Army, even if Nanjing is still a private army. Who dares to say that he is not afraid of the Huping Meng family, even the current handsome Chen Geng must be afraid. There are very few nobles in the entire Changfeng Army and even the wealthy families in Nanjing, and only Liu Zhixing is from the lineage. Lin Zhong can also do this, but Lin Xie's retirement as a marshal is not suitable, and only Liu Zhixing has military merits and shallow qualifications. The biggest feature is still the second son of the Liu family, there is nothing he dare not do from being naughty to being a gentleman, for the Meng family, do you want to ask Liu Ce if he can still pick up the sword.

Leaving with anger Xue Liren, this matter cannot be affected by the Changfeng Camp, let alone touched. It's just a pity that Lin Xie's only disciple left Nanjing like this, and it is very likely that he will never come to Nanjing if he leaves this time. Turning his head to look at Chen Geng, who has always been calm, the veteran is still a veteran.

Captain Han asked, "Can the Great Shuai Engineer Battalion last?" ”

Chen Geng said: "Since the Meng family has appeared, there is no reason to stop it, and Your Majesty will not allow a family to involve weapons. Whether he can become big or not depends on what Liu Xiaozi does in Taiping, I hope that Liu Ce is still the same as the previous Liu Ce, this is his son. ”

Turned around and walked into the gate and said: "Your Majesty is still old, so I can't wait, the temple has only been peaceful for less than twenty years, do you have to wash it with blood again." ”

A man in the Liu Mansion of Taiping City, who seemed to be much older, stared at the secret decree, and from the day Liu Zhixing left Taiping City, he had no seal seal in front of him. As a general, how could he not know that today's family is the strongest in the Meng family, thirteen years ago, Lin Xie accepted the Changfeng Army and then obtained the commander of Nanjing, and the Meng family began to do it very easily. The four great families, the Lin family, the Zhou family, have always stood on His Majesty's side, and the Li family has been wavering. Only the upper family of the Meng family is very hidden.

Lin Xie, who looked like a rich man in the study, said with a solemn expression: "Brother Liu, Your Majesty is too anxious about this matter, and it has only been twelve years, which is not enough to smooth out the Meng family's power in Huping and even Nanjing. Chen Geng has always been calm, how could he be so confused. ”

Liu Ce, who had been in the secret decree for more than half a year, threw it into the brazier and said: "I'm afraid that if I am fortunate to leave Taiping, Chen Geng will also receive the same secret decree as you and me." A thirteen battalion is originally a hot potato, and it seems that Your Majesty thinks that the Changfeng Battalion you established is not enough. It's going to move the Meng family, what can you do as a courtier? ”

Lin Xie leaned against the wall and looked up, a ray of sunlight sprinkled on his face, and he supported his brother to ascend the throne for the sake of peace in the world. Nineteen years have done a good job, and the weak girder is now strong. The Southern Chu, which forced the Great Liang to retreat northward, also fell asleep, and now the biggest enemy of the Great Liang is no longer the Southern Chu in the south, or the Turks in the north.

are all in their fifties, and Liu Ce, who was once the youngest, is now also a book. Liu Zhixing's engineer battalion was just a fuse, which forced Liu Ce to deal with the Meng family. Lin Xie said: "Your Majesty is old, don't blame him. The four great families have been there since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, and they have not been able to move for nearly two hundred years. In these years, only Zhou Yingxiang was left in the Zhou family, and the Li family lived in a grassland, and the perennial war was not so easy. The Lin family is afraid that if this old man dies, it is time to put down the name of the family, and the Meng family thinks that he is holding the Nanjing ordnance in his hand and pinching the throat of the girder, and the old man does not know how to restrain himself. ”

Liu Ce let out a breath and said: "It is enough for Daliang to have a king, how many years have no one understood this truth." ”

"People are tired of standing on a high place and looking at it, they always want to see the scenery farther away, and stand higher to put the beautiful scenery in their eyes."

With a helpless smile, he pushed open the door of the study and looked at the dazzling sun. The two old men seemed to be looking at the rivers and mountains of Daliang and the people of the world. Lin Xie said: "Brother Liu, we are all old, you said that there are still a few decades. Just because His Majesty is willful once, my brother will bear a little more. ”

Liu Ce said: "I have no choice but to move my muscles and bones, if I don't want Your Majesty, I have to let my kid live." ”

Lin Xie walked out of the door and stood in the courtyard and suddenly said: "I haven't been to the court for a month, and you, the secretary of the military department, should also deal with the mess." Your Majesty has been not very happy with that group of court officials these days, and it is almost time for your boy to come back. ”

"Brother Lin is fortunate to come back, you should also exercise your muscles, but not only my son but also your student."

Shaking his head and striding away, Liu Ce suddenly asked, "How is your body?" ”

"I can live for a few more years and see the wonders of young people."

In the upper study, the emperor read a white piece and put it on the chessboard, looking solemn and trying to retrieve the chess piece. The man in his forties sitting opposite smiled and pressed the emperor's hand, read a sunspot casually and put it down gently. said: "Your Majesty's chess is not better than back then." ”

The emperor smiled crookedly, stretched out his hand to pick up the chess pieces, and said, "Wang An, Wang An, just dare to win." I'm still here to talk about when you've ever let me win a game. ”

Wang An, who gently put away the chess pieces, said: "If you win or lose in chess, this is a fixed number, and if you lose the chess on the chessboard, you can never lose." If you lose a piece of chess outside the board, you may not have a chance to start over, and if you lose here, you will lose. ”

"That's the winner, and there's always the winner's chance to speak. I've won the biggest ascension to the throne of God in my life, and I'm used to winning and losing after that. It's just that this time, does the prime minister also want to persuade me, saying that I am wrong? ”

Wang An, who kept packing up the chess pieces, did not answer, but listened to the emperor continue: "I have been talking for fifteen years, and I have brought down the Zhou family. With you, Wang An, who was able to enter the temple in the Hanmen of Daliang, would it take me ten years to defeat the Meng family. Daliang really can't afford to drag it out, and without the Meng family, there will be the Zhang family and the Zhao family. I haven't had a few years, and I still have the energy to do more things, and the beams will be able to go faster and farther in the future. ”

Wang An put away the last sunspot and turned his head to look at the eunuch, and the few little eunuchs who looked down glanced at His Majesty's eyes and slowly retreated. Stretching out his hand to signal the emperor to take the lead, the emperor read a white piece and placed it directly in Tianyuan. Wang An remembered that the black disc was placed near the white piece, and the other white disc was placed directly on the edge. Wang An smiled and had no choice but to follow, and said: "Your Majesty, the weakness of the Zhou family may not be a good thing, since you want to move the Meng family, you must defend it first, otherwise the hinterland will be broken before the hinterland is chaotic in the distance." ”

"Zhou Wen is too old, and Wenzong can't bear the infamy of such an old man. I've done enough, can I let more than ten years of hard work go to waste? ”

Wang An thought of a black gas that made the side of the sunspot in the center seem a little far away, and the emperor was about to fall and said: "Your Majesty wants to deal with the Zhou family, why do you have to worry about it, your own family has always been more ruthless than outsiders when dealing with your own family." If you have to deal with those who are far away, why do you need to carry stones under your feet? Your Majesty should know that the two parties in the DPRK and China are in full swing, and Zhou Jin did not choose the crown prince but secretly supported the king of Qi. Why don't you want to restore the glory of the Zhou family, Your Majesty doesn't want to see the prince, let alone see it. If it is against the Meng family, the king of Qi will definitely support it, but the crown prince will have to think about it. ”

The emperor's face changed suddenly, and who dared to speak directly to the old man in front of him about the royal affairs. Holding the chess pieces and staring at Wang An tightly, the current court seems to be back then. As a father who wants to see his children kill each other, just a few years ago the prince was too radical. The sudden transfer of the King of Qi from the North Mirror shocked the entire imperial court, and as the eldest son of the King of Qi over the years, he has done many things better. On the contrary, the crown prince seemed a little weak, and he retreated in everything to make the king of Qi powerful.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and even had the atmosphere of abolishing the prince. Wang An never made decisions on these matters, and many things in the DPRK and China were still self-reliant. The emperor's indulgence from the beginning also began to rein, only to hear that the king of Qi and the crown prince were uneasy.

Gently put down the chess pieces and said, "Then who do you say is suitable, Prime Minister?" ”

There is no doubt that he said: "Prince, the King of Qi killed too much, and more people will die." ”

The emperor just said, "You dare to say it." ”

As a father, how could he not understand the two best sons, King Qi is the most like himself, less calm. Perennial in the north of the mirror several sorties, a whole tribe of thousands of people killed not a single one, the generals under his command are even more afraid. If he ascends the throne and fights for the emperor all year round, he may be able to expand his territory, but the beam can still be the prosperous beam today. The emperor has been entangled, the crown prince is weak after all. How could Wang An not see why he wanted to move the Meng family now, and simply thought that he was too close to the prince.

Wang An said: "Your Majesty may not have looked down on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The Qi Wangfu even made a series of strategies to support the Changfeng Army, and five or six ministers sat in the Qi Wangfu to discuss how to press the Meng family down. King Qi went to the military department many times, but Liu Ce was always sick at home, and even visited Liu's mansion many times, and even calculated the money needed by an engineer battalion through the relationship with the household department. Chen Geng's acceptance of Liu Zhixing's so-called blacksmith shop was just the beginning, and the situation changed suddenly under the calm appearance of Taiping City.

The prince's mansion is still normal, and the subordinate officials have repeatedly persuaded the prince to help the Meng family tide over the difficulties. It's just that instead of making a move, the prince stayed at home, and the court just waited quietly for the result. Under the bombardment of King Qi and his party, the prince only pushed and retreated, as if he did not make any action.

In the study, Moncinjo had been on guard for a day and still hadn't seen the prince, and only one of his subordinates said that the prince didn't want to see him now. said it very directly, Meng Xinqiao still didn't leave, and Zhou Heng's appearance shocked Meng Xinqiao. This scholar, who once made the scholars of Taiping City bleak for a while, turned out to be in the Prince's Mansion, and just said: "Meng Gongzi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't make a move in this matter." If you want the Meng family to continue to prosper, don't come here in the future, some things will burn your hands if you hold them in your hand for too long. ”

Meng Xinqiao waved his hand and left, and the crown prince walked out and said, "Losing the support of the Meng family in this way is not good for the army. ”

Zhou Heng said: "Now His Royal Highness should support His Majesty the most, if a Meng family does not support the crown prince like this, he may not have other thoughts." After His Royal Highness ascended the throne, after removing the Zhou family, it was important to deal with the Meng family. Now that His Majesty has done more things, it will always be good in the future. As long as they pull a hand at the right time, whether the Meng family is sincere or not, they can only support His Highness, and there is no other choice. Now all His Highness needs to do is wait, how to do this when Liu Zhixing returns to Beijing. ”

The prince asked, "This palace needs to help Liu Zhixing." ”

Zhou Heng said: "Of course, the future Liang needs such a general. ”
