Song Rong put his hands behind his back, his head raised slightly, like an eagle looking at him, he glanced at the military department Shangshu in the distance, and said in a flat tone: "When you become a Beijing official, you will naturally lose your heart, plus Liu Shangshu and his children and grandchildren are full of people, and if you don't ask for some blessings for those bastards in the second ancestor of the capital, after he dies, it is estimated that there will be no Liu family in the capital, and his group of children and grandchildren who can only gnaw on the old have only one way to die." ”

Zhang Xuanlin smiled, "Old General Song is really old and strong, old and strong, open-minded, and doesn't care about right and wrong." ”

"Then I would have thanked Mr. Zhang, the old gentleman is really old and ambitious."

Zhang Xuanlin glared, "The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, and the ancient language is used indiscriminately, when did I lie down?" When do you want to go to Qianli? ”

"Forty years in the capital, dedicated to the government and the opposition, this is the old man who has not stepped out of the capital for half a step in his life, but has implemented various laws and regulations to benefit the people, isn't this a thousand miles of ambition?"

Zhang Xuanlin stretched out his finger and tapped Song Rong, "When did you become so eloquent?" When you first went to court, but I was red in the face of what I said in a few words, and I didn't dare to think at that time, a young man about the same age as me, worshiped as a general in his twenties, and killed the Huns on the battlefield, had such a thin skin. ”

Song Rong inserted his hands into his sleeves, pretending to be rickety, and he smiled: "Flowers have a reblooming day, no one is young anymore, forty years have passed, and my face is so thin, I'm afraid I have been eliminated by this court that eats people and doesn't spit out bones." ”

Zhang Xuanlin nodded deeply, the two didn't say anything more for a while, the conversation of the smart person was over, and he only mentioned this question lightly, and the two of them could keep silent if they had common feelings.

Song Rong looked at an old man who was standing alone in the distance, looking extremely out of place, this old man's student once said a sentence "Don't rule the heavens with all the rules, and want to use the military armor to manage the Central Plains", which completely offended the literati of the court and the opposition, but Song Rong liked this sentence very much, and he said softly: "Our Guozijian right priest is also a civil servant, why don't you stand with you, do you literati still exclude each other?" ”

Zhang Xuanlin rolled his eyes, "Knowingly, this Chu Hanlin is also a strategic, how can he teach this open-mouthed student, although you and I are clear in our hearts, his original intention is to want the peace of the Great Zhou, but there are too many blind people in the government and the opposition, and there are too many people who are holding on to the problem, and there are not a few people waiting for this old horse to fall off the horse." ”

"It's wonderful that literati are light."

Zhang Xuanlin heard the mockery of this intimidating general, and he said-for-tat: "It's really good for a martial artist to break the blood flow with open guns and dark arrows. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Three quarters of the hour.

The civil and military officials entered the hall, Lu Dongshan walked out from behind the Wuying Palace, he redressed a brand-new scarlet python robe, if he was not a eunuch, his face looked extremely feminine, and he really looked like a Jiangnan scholar.

He coughed lightly, and the hundred officials who were still talking to each other suddenly fell silent.

"Go to court!"

The young man strode out from behind the tent, and he couldn't see a trace of tiredness after a few sleepless nights, but was very energetic.

"Hundreds of officials bow!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Ru waved his sleeves, and the five-clawed golden dragon on the dragon robe shone brightly, and he said loudly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”

"Long live thanks."

The Son of Heaven sat lightly on the dragon chair, facing south from the north, and he slowly spoke: "Do you have a book?" ”

There was silence in the hall.

Li Ru smiled, looking very kind, he joked: "On weekdays, no one plays the book when you go to the court, but when you wait until you retreat from the court, the music folds fly like snowflake paper, when did you become so introverted?" Don't you dare to say something to your face! ”

Still silent, the smile on the corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth was still there, just looking at the hundred pairs of eyes in Chaozhong.

Suddenly, a middle-aged civil official in the corner stood up in line and said, "Minister, something is coming!" ”

Li Ru nodded, "What's the matter with the king's servant?" ”

Liu Feiyi, the secretary of the military department, glanced down, his heart was cold, and a bad feeling came to his heart, this king listened to his subordinate official Zuo Servant, and he could go to the palace to listen to the court after serving for a year this year.

The king heard and said, "The minister wants to talk about this battle of Huaishui!" ”

Hearing the words of this king's servant, the whole hall was shocked, and the eyes of many court officials looked at the general of the dynasty, Song Rong was closing his eyes to recuperate, but there was a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Feiyi was beside Wang Qianting, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he scolded in a low voice: "Wang Qianyan, get back......"

Wang Qianting secretly cast a reassuring look at Liu Feiyi, and he continued, "Only the King of Huai'an alone resisted on Huaishui, after all, the King of Huai'an is a relative of the emperor, and it is inappropriate to let him bear such a big burden. ”

As soon as the word "inappropriate" came out, some officials who had endured it for a long time suddenly burst out laughing, and those officials who laughed out loud thought that there was also something "inappropriate" and hurriedly covered their mouths, and only a few people in the court blatantly shook their heads and laughed without saying a word.

Liu Feiyi's heart was already like ashes, his face was pale, and he glared at the king angrily, but this kid still gave himself a reassuring look.

The military department Shangshu is very popular and wants to scold his mother.

The Son of Heaven also smiled: "Oh? So do you have any ideas? ”

Wang Qian listened to Zhengse and said: "You need to send another person to help the king of Huai'an, and the minister has a candidate, who will be the general of the dynasty!" ”

This Wang Servant shot without a name, but everyone knows who he is talking about, how many generals are there in the dynasty? But Song Rong is the only one.

The Son of Heaven touched his chin and nodded gently, "Yes, what Wang Servant said is very good, General Song, are you willing?" ”

Song Rong's eyes widened, and he looked at the king and listened, and the servant shot the adult's body trembled, and pretended to be calm and straightened his thin chest.

Song Rong walked out of the column and said loudly: "The minister can go on the horse at any time to go on the expedition!" ”

"Good!"

Li Ru clasped his palms, and he said: "I also happened to announce something today, Wang Servant, your thoughts really coincide with me. ”

The king was flattered to hear this, and if it weren't for the presence of the emperor, he would probably jump for joy.

The young Son of Heaven spoke at this time: "Where is Liu Feiyi? ”

When Liu Feiyi heard His Majesty shouting his name, he almost turned his back on his face, and he walked out of the column tremblingly, "Weichen listens to the order." ”

"I have named you the general of Pingxi, and I will guard Yingchuan County to prevent the Western Shu rebellion from advancing eastward."

"Minister, Commander."

Li Ru smiled and said: "Liu Aiqing, I am satisfied with you, this time it is up to you." ”

"The minister will definitely live up to his mission!"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand, Liu Feiyi retreated into the queue again, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this king is also considered meritorious, and his appearance also indirectly allowed him to get the military power, better is not to face the difficult Southern Dynasty Army, or the Xishu New Army, this Xishu New Army is a great military merit in Liu Feiyi's eyes.

The young emperor glanced at Song Rong and quipped: "Old General Song, have you eaten less recently?" ”

Song Rong smiled, "If you eat enough, you will naturally have strength, and now the old minister has strength." ”

"That's good, I have wronged you a little, named you the general of Zhennan, sat in Huguang County, helped each other with the king of Huai'an, attacked the rebels of the Southern Dynasty with the combined forces of the east and the north, and at the same time took charge of the military department."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked!

Liu Feiyi's eyes were round, obviously very incredible, now he is just a Pingxi general in the four towns of Siping, although he is a real general, but the position of Shangshu is gone! Rising and falling!

Although Song Rong fell from the first rank to the second rank of the Zhennan General and the second grade of the military department, but the general and the military department complement each other, this is not a matter of the sum of the two equals two, the real power of the general plus a real power official position, His Majesty is blunt to give him this, you Song Rong can take whatever you want from the military department.

Proper promotion! It's not even a secret debasement.

Wang Qianting also couldn't believe it, he looked sideways at Liu Feiyi, this former Shangshu was full of loneliness in his eyes, as if he had aged more than ten years for a while.

"The king's servant shoots."

When the king heard the emperor calling him, he turned his head suddenly, "The minister is here." ”

"Stand down."

The king heard the appearance of the bright face, and returned to the queue in despair.

Song Rong didn't need the Son of Heaven to speak, he stood back on his own, he couldn't see any expression on his face, he was still closing his eyes and recuperating.

Li Ru was still speechless, he smiled and said: "From the initiation of the king's servant, I have some thoughts, and the holy decree will be issued later, Gonggong Lu, you go and bring those two ways." ”

Lu Dongshan pulled out the holy decree prepared in advance from his cuffs, and under the gesture of the young emperor's eyes, he said loudly: "Yang Liechen and Tong Yanhai have made great contributions to defending Yuzhou, saving the face of the Great Zhou, and specially appointing Yang Liechen as the envoy of Yingchuan County, and Tong Yanhai as the Taishou of Yingchuan County. ”

Chu Hanlin walked out and knelt on the ground to receive the order, and then he was just about to turn around and go back, Lu Dongshan laughed softly, "Chu sacrificial wine, what are you doing in such a hurry, you haven't finished talking yet." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lu Dongshan said: "Chu Hanlin listened to the order, because Chu sacrificial wine has been working hard in the country for 20 years, and has sent countless talents to the Great Zhou, and the diligent officials from all over the country have gone abroad to supervise Chu Hanlin. ”

Chu Hanlin was stunned, he worked hard in the country for 20 years, and once he gained power, he went straight to the clouds!

Lu Dongshan kindly reminded: "Master Chu, still don't accept the order? ”

Chu Hanlin woke up at this time, and he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Weichen, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

Li Ru smiled and said, "In the future, Mr. Chu will have to help me more." ”

This old man, who did not seek fame and fortune in the country and did not compete with others, was finally reused at this time, and he kowtowed: "The minister can write with His Majesty, I am grateful!" ”

At this time, the court, compared with before, was a little more inexplicably interesting, a few families were happy and a few were sad, and the young emperor took a deep look at the courtiers in the hall, and there were still a few people who were in high positions but had no talent to learn.

But Li Ru is not in a hurry, he knows very well in his heart that pulling out a thorn for this court is to pull out a thorn for the world, and the thorn that pierces his heart must be taken out slowly, if he is ruthless at the beginning, I am afraid it will backfire, increase the injury, and slowly take the medicine, step by step.

Li Ru stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to do?" ”

The princes and ministers in the hall all knelt down, ready to send off the Son of Heaven, but everyone couldn't hear the phrase "retreat from the dynasty without incident".

At this time in the past, when the Son of Heaven got up, Lu Dongshan should also shout, "The dynasty is over this morning, retreat from the dynasty", but at this time, he looked at his nose and mouth and his heart, and stood quietly under the dragon chair.

Zhang Xuanlin buried his face deep in the palm of his hand, with a bit of inexplicable meaning, it seems that the real show is coming.

The young emperor was expressionless, and looked around at the minister who buried his head deeply, and he said softly: "You have nothing to do, but I have something, what I did before is worthy of the Great Zhou, ashamed of the ancestors, and ashamed of the people of the dawn, so that the so-called Southern Dynasty is becoming more and more rampant, and there is a rebellion in the new Xishu, so I decided early that I must change my mind and reorganize the affairs of the court, but when I took a good look at the twists and turns and the state affairs during this time, I found that there were many holes in the territory of our Great Zhou. ”

Li Ru slowly walked down the dragon chair, and his voice echoed throughout the Wuying Palace, "Do you know, I have never been afraid of cholera in the Southern Dynasties and Western Shu, because the Great Zhou has the best foot soldiers, the best cavalry, the best navy, and the best army!" I'm afraid of our feet—"
