Chapter 17: Success or Failure, Right and Wrong

The turmoil in the palace gradually subsided, and in addition to Prince Chun Li Chengye, everyone in the palace slowly calmed down.

Prince Chun's plot was in vain overnight, these days Prince Chun ran around to deal with the aftermath, very angry, all day long his face sank like water, the palace people did not dare to come out, for fear of adding fuel to the fire, annoyed Prince Chun.

Li Luo saved Duanmu Shenzhou for Luo'er Yinuo, although he had no regrets, but he was really worried in his heart, in case Duanmu Shenzhou was found by the guards in the house, Qiuji would not be spared.

On this day, Prince Chun rarely had a meal in the mansion, and during the banquet, all the princesses were silent, and they didn't know how to eat a meal.

Among the concubines, Concubine Xuan is out of nature by nature, such a boring banquet is really not to her liking, if it weren't for Prince Chun's still being, I'm afraid that she would have hidden elsewhere after eating.

Prince Chun saw that the hall was quite dull, and asked calmly: "Lou'er, what have you been reading lately?" ”

From time to time, Prince Chun will take the school Li Luo one or two, to see if Li Luo has grown, Li Luo is the only male heir of Prince Chun, and he will inherit the throne of Prince Chun in the future, everyone is staring at Li Luo, and even a few interested and elegant princesses will also turn their attention to see how this famous little prince answers today.

"Back to my father, Lou'er is reading a few ancient military books." Li Luo stood up and replied respectfully.

"Okay." Prince Chun let out a long laugh, "A man should protect his family and defend the country, so he is not in vain as my son Li Chengye, let's talk about it." ”

"What is contained in the Book of War is the law of generals."

"Oh," Prince Chun leaned forward, slightly intriguing, "and continued. ”

Li Luo groaned slightly, and replied: "The chief civil and military man, the general of the army." Those who are both rigid and soft, and the things of soldiers are also. Mortals talk about generals, and often look at bravery. Courage is a fraction of an ear. The brave man will be lightly combined, and he will not know the benefits of the light; Not yet. Therefore, there are five prudent ones: one is reason, two is preparation, three is fruit, four is precept, and five is covenant. Those who are rational govern the crowd as the widows. Those who prepare, go out as if they are enemies. Those who bear fruit will not be born when facing the enemy. Those who prescribe it, although they are like the beginning of the battle. The covenant is made by law, and it is not annoying. Accept the order and not quit the enemy, break and then return, and give it a gift. Therefore, on the day of the teacher's departure, there is the glory of death, and there is no shame of life. This is the will. ”

"Yes." Prince Chun nodded and continued to ask, "What is a good general?" ”

"There are four machines for every soldier: one is the air machine, the second is the ground machine, the third is the incident machine, and the fourth is the force machine. The crowd of the three armies, the division of millions, and the light crowd lie in one person, which is the qi machine. The road is narrow and dangerous, the famous mountains are big, the scholars are guarded, and the thousands of people are just the ground machine. Good deeds of spies, light soldiers, scattering their people, so that their kings and ministers resent, and blame each other, is an opportunity. Che Jian's jurisdiction, Zhouli's arrangement, Shixi's battle Chen, and horse's leisurely gallop are called power machines. Knowing these four is a general. However, its might, virtue, benevolence, and courage will be enough to lead the people to calm the people, fear the enemy and resolve doubts, and dare not commit under orders, and dare not fight the enemy. The country that wins is strong, and the country that goes to die is a good general. ”

Prince Chun nodded and said: "Although the words are good, but this is mostly the words in the book, you must know that the art of war is ever-changing, and the things in this book of war are good, but you must make use of them to become a general." ”

Li Luo responded yes, and everyone at the banquet saw that Prince Chun was in a better mood, so they dared to speak.

"Lou'er, stay by my mother's side in the future, be a peace officer, don't fight and kill, how to put your mind down for my mother." Luo said hurriedly.

"If you want to be a peace officer, it's a pity that Lou'er is talented in civil and military affairs." Concubine Xia said with a little jealousy, although she also gave birth to a son for Prince Chun, but unfortunately she was a daughter, and it was difficult for Luo's mother to rely on her son.

After hearing this, Luo Shi was slightly displeased, frowned and said: "Shouting and shouting and killing, I don't want to learn martial arts in the future, and I can study literature with peace of mind." Luo Shi paused and said, "Another day, I will move the martial arts field and stay away from the palace." ”

Li Luo didn't respond, and Prince Chun shook his head lightly and ignored it.

"What else do you have to say?" Prince Chun took a sip of tea and said.

"For the general, the general civil and military, life and death. When marching and fighting, it is necessary to order troops to march, supplemented by virtue, benevolence, and bravery, so that they can become a victorious army. ”

"Haha, okay, it's a bit insightful at a young age." Prince Chun laughed.

Seeing that Prince Chun was happy, Luo Shi also joked: "Lord Wang, I don't know if you had this opinion when you were a child?" ”

Prince Chun said proudly: "This king still has this ability when he was a child, otherwise how can he become a generation of famous generals." ”

As soon as the words fell, the princesses laughed nonstop. Prince Chun coughed a few times, and several side concubines hurriedly stopped laughing.

"Hehe, the princess's ability to lead the army and manage the army has not been seen by the concubine, but this ability to find flowers and butterflies is very good, isn't it, Sister Lan." Concubine Xuan said with a smile.

Prince Chun's old face was slightly red when he heard this, and he shook his head silently. However, Prince Chun has always doted on Concubine Xuan, and he did not scold him for such a joke.

When Concubine Lan saw everyone looking at her, her face was flushed, and she looked even more delicate, and complained to Concubine Xuan: "Sister Xuan is talking nonsense, how do I know about the prince's ...... These skills, Lou'er is also there, don't talk nonsense. ”

Concubine Xuan didn't care, and laughed coquettishly, Luo Shi frowned, and scolded lightly: "Concubine Xuan, the prince and Lou'er are here, you have to pay attention to the proportions of your speech, don't pass it into the ears of outsiders, and ruin the reputation of the prince." ”

Prince Chun was not angry, and said in a positive color: "Most of these ancient military books come from the army, and many of the people who write books are in important positions in the army, among which there are some victorious generals, naturally there are his reasons and merits, but the military book is just a book, not the way to lead the soldiers that can actually be used, if you want to become a generation of famous generals, you must remember one point, the book shows the text, it is already dead, and the generals are alive, the gas machine, the profit, the ground machine, the force machine are indispensable, which can grasp the gas machine, the ground machine and the force machine can become a famous general, If the opportunity can also be reached, this can become a generation of god generals, and win a hundred battles. After saying this, Luo Shi looked at Prince Chun with admiration, Concubine Xuan smiled, rarely showing a few solemnities, and Concubine Lan also nodded approvingly.

Prince Chun talked about sex together, and said leisurely: "Half a life for my father, but I can only be a famous general, as for this god general, Lou'er, it depends on whether you can fulfill this wish for this king in the future." ”

"Do we have a god general in the Dagan Dynasty?" Several side concubines asked in a gossiping manner.

"God will my Dagan Dynasty exists, Taizu Li Xia raised troops in Youzhou that year, conscripted the remnants of the merchants, and won the ten generals to show their strategies, so as to lay down the world of Dagan, and the head of the ten generals, Longhou Di Sining, can be the name of this god general. Longhou has never lost a hundred battles in his life, he expects the enemy to be the first, with a million heroes like one person, it is even more rare to be humble and courteous, the first emperor awarded him the position of Longhou, but also many excuses, not greedy for fame and fortune. Later, the emperor personally bowed to General Di, and then took over the title of Marquis of Long. After the world was pacified, the Marquis of Long handed over the military power, and only took the post of Taibao in vain to assist the first emperor to govern the world. It is very human to be able to do this, and it has also preserved the glory and wealth of the Di family for a hundred years, and the current expedition to the west makes Di Jie the descendant of Longhou, but his descendants are far inferior to Longhou back then, at best, he can only touch the side of the famous general, even if it is a little worse than this king, he wants to become a god general, I am afraid that in this life, I am afraid that I will not think about it. ”

Li Luo listened quietly, and suddenly interjected: "Xuanlou thinks that there are other generals besides what is said in the military book. ”

Everyone was quiet, Prince Chun looked at Li Luo with interest, these days Li Luo was depressed, Prince Chun was really a little dissatisfied, thinking that Li Luo was a woman's benevolence, at this time seeing Li Luo had other opinions, the old man was relieved, and encouraged: "You say, don't worry if it's wrong." ”

"Everything in the world has a way, and those who are generals should also have a way, and the book of war only talks about how to become a general, and will require victory, and strategy and courage are indispensable, but only the way to be a general is missing."

"How?"

"People in the world look more at success or failure, less about right and wrong, once you will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but you don't know that there is a way of heaven above the road, acting against the sky, even if you can become a god, it is just a passing cloud."

Everyone was stunned, Li Luo's words were a little deviant, Concubine Lan saw that Prince Chun's face seemed to be a little unhappy, and hurriedly continued: "Lou'er is still young, and he doesn't know much about the sinister world, so it would be better if he was older." ”

Prince Chun's face was slightly closed, and he didn't say anything more, Li Luo hung his head and was silent, several concubines gossiped, and somehow talked about the assassination of the palace. Prince Chun was also very angry, and alluded to Luo'er in his speech, telling everyone to take care of the maids and servants in their rooms.

Li Luoben just listened boringly, but a few side concubines, concubines and concubines kept echoing the rumors, Li Cheng couldn't bear it, so he intercepted after Concubine Xia finished speaking: "Mother and aunt, today's things must have a cause for his day, if you blindly talk about today's things, but don't blame him for the cause of the day, I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen again in the future." ”

"Lou'er, how can you say that!" Rocky screamed.

"Lou'er, be cautious." Concubine Lan intercepted.

Li Luo shook his head and said tiredly: "The ancients also said that things happen for a reason, and it is better to just talk about success or failure a few days ago. ”

Prince Chun laughed and said: "What a success or failure, if you talk about it, how can you talk about this success or failure?" ”

Li Luo's face was fearless, looked at Prince Chun and said, "Just talk about success or failure, don't say anything." ”

"You say." Prince Chun's words turned sharply.

"Although the seven southern states have been rich since ancient times, but the people are comfortable, not good at fighting, and can not fight for a long time, the military strength of Dagan is ten times that of the south, if you want to quell the rebellion, you can win a war with the army. It's just that although the southern tribes are gradually centrifuging, but on the surface they are still the people of Dagan, if they want to use force to become famous, it is a pity that the success falls short, but it has increased the morale of the southern tribes, and it has exposed Dagan's strategy, and the southern tribes will definitely be more vigilant, and my Dagan will have no chance to raid, unless there is an unknown teacher, but there are many Confucian scholars in the court, and these proposals are afraid that they will be passed on without passing, but they are really thanks to countless beauties and treasures. If Da Gan wants to enter the army again, if he still cares about his reputation, he can only do so after the southern tribes stand on their own. ”

Prince Chun's eyes flashed, and he said in a cold voice: "Do you know that the assassins are related to the Seven Prefectures of Nanfu? ”

Li Luo was angry in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Zhuocheng is full of wind and rain, and everyone on the streets and alleys is talking about it, I don't know it's stupid." ”

"As you said, there is an internal response of the Southern Rebel Clan in the Dagan Imperial Court?" Seeing the expression on Li Luo's face, Prince Chun smiled dumbly and said, "It's stupid for me to ask." ”

Li Luo's eyelids jumped after hearing this, and he didn't speak.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Li Luo simply had no scruples, and said bluntly: "Now that the border is unstable, the worries of Dagan are in the two provinces in the northwest, not in the south, first pacify the border of the western province, and then consider waving the army to the south." Now, if the war in Nanfu is lightly started, the alien races in the western Xinjiang will definitely send troops at the same time to strengthen the momentum of Nanfu, and Dagan will have to spend time dealing with rumors. But if they do the opposite, I am afraid that the southern tribes will not have the courage to provoke a war first. If the Xifu has been decided, as for the seven states of the Nanfu, there is no excuse, the war will be fought, and it is up to the imperial court to say whatever you want. ”

"Good, good, what a win-or-loser. Yes, this king's plan has fallen short for many years, and the southern rebels have increased even more, which is the loss of this king, the minister of the Taibao. After speaking, Prince Chun put the teacup on the table heavily, and everyone was startled, except for heavy breathing, even if he jumped out of Ruxuan, he was silent.

On the other hand, Li Luo was unusually calm, looked at Prince Chun and said: "Father, the Nanfu Committee is really not a problem, the only thing to worry about is why the Nanfu is the opposite." ”

"Okay," before Li Luo finished speaking, Li Chengye interrupted, "Let's talk about right and wrong." ”

Li Luo opened his mouth to speak, but stopped his words and fell silent.

"Yes, it's not my son Li Chengye, don't you say that this king will say it for you, this king's fault, one is in Changlin, and the other is in that maid, very good, this king doesn't have such insight at your age."

Li Luo's small body shook violently, pursed his lips and said nothing. Li Chengye no longer looked at Li Luo, and instead said to everyone: "Today's words, the palace will not be discussed, if it is accidentally spread by someone, this king will not be spared!" After speaking, he left Cai Yaxuan.

Li Luo sat in a daze, feeling empty, as if suddenly there was nothing in his heart, and he heard Luo's anxious shout of the prince, and then looked at the eyes of everyone in Xuanzhong, Luo's reproach, Concubine Lan's surprise, Concubine Xia's joy, Concubine Xuan's curiosity, for a while, Li Luo felt that the world was spinning, and he grabbed the back of the chair tightly so that he didn't sit down.

It turns out that this is Prince Chun's mansion, this is the people and things that my father cares about, such as Luo'er, no one has ever thought about what they are thinking.

Concubine Xuan walked over, looked at Li Luo strangely, and said, "Why do you think so?" ”

Li Luo looked up at Luo's in a daze, then looked at Concubine Lan, and said, "Mother, auntie, am I wrong?" ”

Concubine Lan bent down and said softly: "Don't think about it, your father won't be angry with you, but don't mention what you said today, there are some things that you will understand when you grow up." ”

Li Luo suddenly felt a burst of collapse, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but fall down.

Li Luo's illness, he lay down for three days, Su Xue took care of Li Luo for three days, three days later, Li Luo was able to get out of bed a little, looking at the emaciated Su Xue, Li Luo grabbed Su Xue's sleeve and said: "It's hard for you." ”

Su Xueji smiled, didn't speak, gently pulled open her sleeves, and fed Li Luo something to eat.

Li Luo continued: "There are many things in the house these days, and you didn't have a good life when you came to Qingxin Building, it's not good for me." ”

Su Xue smiled lightly and replied: "Childe, don't worry about some things in your heart, you are still young, and your mind is so heavy, I am afraid that you will be affected in the future." ”

"Well, I remember, you go down and rest first." Li Luo smiled reluctantly.

Su Xue suddenly felt that she didn't speak like a subordinate, but a bit of a sister training her younger brother, so she hurriedly saluted and left in a hurry.

After Suxue came out of the house, Li Luo slowly sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the pale face in the mirror, and laughed at himself: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't want people to be thinner than Huanghua." Reaching out and brushing his sideburns, he already had a lot of gray hair.
