The final chapter of the volume
The Jinling Imperial Palace is full of weather, and the majestic palaces are layered on top of each other.
Lu Ning entered a temple under the guidance of the confessor, Lu Ning was thinking about how to give a courtesy, but he heard a gentle voice: "Don't be polite, look at the seat!" ”
Lu Ning was stunned, most of the courtiers and the emperor were sitting, but some courtiers were meeting the Son of Heaven for the first time, so they naturally had to kneel and bow, of course, it was precisely because they were not as important as the kneeling salute in later generations, so today's Tang Lord spared himself from this worship in order to show his grace.
The confessor brought a chair, and Lu Ning bowed slightly: "The minister is seated." Then he sat down, and also glanced at the bright yellow soft couch in front of him, and there was an old man with a kind face.
This dynasty admits to inherit the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, with yellow as the honor, although this palace is not the main hall, but also magnificent, the palace is also based on bright yellow, more brilliant.
"Donghai Gong, is your hysteria getting better?" Lord Tang's voice was very gentle.
"Looks like I haven't had a relapse recently......"
"Then, the Battle of Shouzhou, how did you shoot the puppet master Guo Rong, do you remember?"
Lu Ning's heart immediately froze, but he didn't want to, Master Tang went straight in.
But I also want to know that for myself, Lord Tang must have a lot of doubts, if you don't ask to understand, how can you hand over a military town to your own command?
"Minister, what the minister said, may be absurd, but every sentence is true, and the minister himself can't figure it out...... The minister was originally a farmer, and if you want to say the difference, it is only that his mother loved him when he was a child, and he learned words for a few years, and then he was the life of a peasant......"
"To last year's first month was recruited for group training, but I don't want to thunder from the sky, after that, the minister doesn't remember, to wake up later, the minister thinks, understand some wrought iron and other tricks, in the muddy, I don't know how to get the bow and arrow, the minister also found, the minister also feels, his mind is also open, but the things to do, it seems to be messy......"
Lu Ning's words are not lies, and it can be said that they are all true, except that he concealed that he was from later generations.
There are many things, and I can't hide it from Lord Tang.
Lord Tang was silent.
Lu Ning understands that in this world, although many things that cannot be explained are attributed to God, in fact, when it comes to specific people and things, such as Lord Tang, I am afraid that they don't believe in the words of strange forces and gods.
But what he said was indeed the truth, and for Lord Tang, it seemed that his strange behavior really had no other explanation.
Now it is up to the Tang Lord to consider whether he is a virtuous person who helped his Li family in the providence of heaven or a monster who caused trouble in the Southern Tang Dynasty, or, it is simply an inconsequential weird thing, but it just so happens that he has helped the Li family.
If it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Southern Tang Dynasty has dominated the world instead of being surrounded by strong enemies, Lu Ning feels that he will most likely be pushed out by the Tang Lord to cut off his head, but in the current troubled times, even if the Tang Lord thinks that he will be a disaster in the future, he is only afraid, and he will think about whether he has any use value at present.
What's more, maybe the Tang Lord didn't believe in the strange power of chaos at all, and only thought that he had inadvertently opened his mind, just like Wuxia Ameng, Gu Zhi Jiang Shang and so on.
After a long time, Lord Tang asked lightly: "Jing Navy, how are you going to operate, let you lead the Jing Navy, but not let you prepare for any navy, you and Congjia's nonsense words, you can't do it seriously." ”
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least, the crisis was temporarily resolved.
However, for a while, I really couldn't think of how to run a military town? It is nothing more than raising more money for food, scientific training, and more importantly, actual combat training, so as to refine a division that can fight a hundred battles.
However, this general remark is not a countermeasure.
This kind of strategy should be said in a fanciful way, making people sound foggy, but the bright future must be spoken, such as three years of peace, secret, and the like, so that the Son of Heaven will deeply think so.
For a long time, Lu Ning coughed, "This, I can only look ......at it after I take office."
"Alas......" Lord Tang sighed, shaking his head when he thought about it, "You guy, do you only know how to mess around?" Could it be that the affairs of the military state should also be temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet? ”
Lu Ning rubbed his nose, "After all, the minister will not let the Northern Army take a step beyond the Lei Chi!" ”
"It's like a sentence." Lord Tang snorted lightly.
"Since you don't have any ideas, I'll send you a deputy envoy, what do you think of my brother's son Congxi?"
"Huh?" Lu Ning was dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to say, "He doesn't know anything than me......"
"You guy!" Lord Tang's eyes widened, and his tone gradually became stern, "So you bullied him and made him owe you 30 million yuan?" I don't have that much money in my treasury! ”
Lu Ning knew that it was obvious that what happened last night had already been sued.
But this matter is really a bit unjust.
"This, the minister is wronged, the minister bets, because the Nanchang Duke and the King of Baoning fight cocks, the minister just thinks that the cockfighting of the King of Baoning is unattended and no one is betting, and the King of Baoning chatted a few words, saying how to set the bet is the way to gamble on the chicken......"
"Nonsense, nonsense...... What is the way to bet on chickens? There is also a way to bet on chickens? Lord Tang shook his head again and again.
"That's it, it's the fun of gambling on chickens......" Lu Ning coughed.
"Nonsense, what nonsense......"
Although the Tang lord was talking nonsense, it was more like some kind of elder reprimanding his children than interrupting Lu Ning's words to prevent Lu Ning from talking, Lu Ning continued: "Then the Nanchang Duke felt that the minister was troublesome, and he made a statement to motivate the minister to bet, and the minister was originally straight, and he couldn't stand the ...... of the agitated general" When he said this, the Tang Emperor seemed to be too lazy to say the word nonsense, "I saw that the king of Baoning fought with an old chicken, the so-called old man was pitiful, and the minister was very moved, but no one paid attention to the old chicken of the king of Baoning, and it looked very pitiful, and the minister was impulsive, so he fell into ......"
"Nonsense!" Lord Tang snorted coldly, but after a while, he asked: "You just said that many people bet on the cockfighting of Congxi, but no one bets on the cockfighting of Jing Yi, is that what you mean?" ”
"Yes, if the Holy One does not believe, he will call King Boryeong and ask him."
Emperor Tang was silent.
Lu Ning owed, "Your Majesty, when it comes to this matter, the minister still has a reluctant request, that Nanchang Duke is the son of the emperor's younger brother, and he owes a huge amount of money, but the minister does not dare to ask for it, and asks His Majesty to be the master of the minister!" ”
"You guy, just borrow a pole and climb!" Lord Tang's eyes narrowed.
Lu Ning whispered: "That's the case, if I lose and dare to repay the debt, the imperial brother is afraid that he will cut off the minister's head......"
"What do you mean, I'm a royal bully!" Lord Tang's face was cold.
"Minister, minister dare not ...... The minister just said that the emperor's brother and his family ......"
Lord Tang immediately waved his hand, "Don't say it!" ”
After waiting for a while, Lord Tang snorted coldly: "If it is someone else, if you dare to instigate the affairs of my family for the first time you see me, I will not spare it!" You guy, you are really more daring than a cow, no wonder that day, after hearing that you shot Guo Rong, you chased them to kill people in the array! ”
"These, minister, minister really can't remember......" Lu Ning was also a little speechless in his heart, as if, it was too much, a little too deceitful, if he was sober, he would definitely not be like this.
"If you lose your gambling from Xun, Jing Yi will help you ask for it, but what is 30 million? Don't mess around! If you can ask for as much as you want, you should help you with as much as you want, and then Cong Xun should also learn some lessons. ”
Lu Ning knew that when he talked about the gambling situation that day, although he said it vaguely, what kind of person was Lord Tang? In an instant, you can imagine the picture at that time, the nephew dared to fight in front of Uncle Wang, what did he rely on?
Although King Baoning is a rich and idle prince, the Tang lord has always loved this younger brother, but the two younger brothers who lead the army may not be like the king of Baoning, but they can still maintain their original intention in the mind of the Tang lord and maintain the most simple kind of blood and family affection.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Lu Ning got up and bowed deeply.
"Hmph, I've become a debt collector for you, you should thank me!" Lord Tang had a cold face.
Lu Ning was sneering, but he felt that this Tang lord, in addition to his soft ears, should be regarded as a good person, of course, a good person may not be equal to a good emperor.
"Vice Envoy Jinghai, who are your candidates?"
"Isn't Your Majesty going to use Nanchang Gong?" Lu Ning is faintly looking forward to it now, since he can ask for debts by order, he can go to Haizhou from Li, and he can see him face to face every day, and he has nothing to do to force debts, which is also quite interesting.
"You want to mess around again!" Lord Tang couldn't cry or laugh, the more he came into contact, the more he understood this guy's temperament.
Lu Ning coughed dryly, shrunk his head, and gradually, he really felt like chatting with the elders in the family.
Maybe it's because he was an orphan in his previous life, and his father died early in this life, so he hasn't been in contact with a man who is very strong and can't stand up to him.
"Do you have any candidates, don't promote any female officials!" Lord Tang snorted coldly again.
Lu Ning's old face was even a little red, as if his absurd actions in the East China Sea couldn't hide this old man at all.
After thinking about it, he said: "Haizhou Thorn Shi Yang Zhao can be of great use. "He also doesn't know other officials who can be promoted to deputy envoys of military towns.
"It's your debtor too!" Lord Tang snorted.
"Minister, how dare you! Your Majesty, this is really a wronged minister! Lu Ning hurriedly argued, "Although the minister won him, he has already stated that he will not take a penny!" ”
Lord Tang was stunned, it was just a warning to him, and there was a faint meaning of joking, but he didn't want to, this guy, this guy is really so bold and reckless, and the history of a state assassin almost became his debtor.
"You, you're going to me off!" Lord Tang really felt that he didn't know how to continue the conversation with him.
"Go ahead, go ahead! I'm afraid I can't help it, and I'm going to cut your domain! Lord Tang waved his hand again and again, fortunately, he wanted to have a deep talk with this young man today, so there was no one in the hall, and no one could see the Holy Son of Heaven so out of shape.
Lu Ning rubbed his nose, and for a while he also felt that he was messing around too much, and he was deeply guilty, and when he looked up, he was slightly stunned, Lord Tang was old, his cheeks were deep, and a serious illness not long ago had made him lose his former spirit, although he was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes, but obviously he was not really angry, it was more like a tantrum of the elders who hated iron and steel.
"Minister, can you really go......" Lu Ning didn't know if he really wanted to leave for a while, as if the minister who was blasted out by the emperor in history was not the first one himself, but it seemed to be the only one who was blasted out like this.
Lord Tang looked at him speechlessly, and finally softened his tone: "You go now, Lingjing Navy, and help me look at the northern portal!" ”
"Yes!" Lu Ning bowed, turned around and walked out, thinking about this Tang Lord, even in history, there are no years to live, and now it is even more for the struggle for imperial power, exhausted, I am afraid that it will be shorter than in history.
Myself, this is the first time in my wakefulness, and perhaps the last time I will meet this old man.
There was a sigh from the Tang lord in his ears, "This guy is messy, but, it's been a long time, I haven't chatted with anyone like this, people with a pure heart, that's when the first emperor was there......"
Lu Ning's senses were extremely keen, and Lord Tang couldn't imagine that anyone else in this world would hear this.
When he looked back, Lord Tang leaned on the couch and looked very tired.
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, finally stood still, turned around and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister is in the East China Sea, and I will hope for Your Majesty's well-being every day!" If the minister does his best, he will also ensure that His Royal Highness King Zheng will be rich and safe in his life, and his heirs will continue! He kowtowed, got up and strode out.
Lu Ning knew that the latter sentence might be inappropriate, but his heartfelt words, due to today's temperament, he wanted to let the old man live and hear his words.
This is his commitment to the elderly, and it is also the reward that the elderly should get after taking a lot of care of themselves.
What's more, there are many understandings of this sentence, and it is more likely that the old man will understand that he will work hard to help Li Yu in the future, and in the future, he will not be persecuted by the crown prince or the king of Yan.
Lord Tang was stunned, looking at Lu Ning's back, his eyes became deep, but after a long time, he finally sighed softly and slowly leaned back on the soft couch.
