Chapter Ninety-Six: Selecting a Commander in a Contest
The eldest grandson Chongwei has actually observed Gao Yun for a long time, and found that although he is a martial artist, he is thick and fine, and when he starts to do things, his mind is also extremely calm, and his martial arts are exquisite, which is definitely above himself, so he has always felt that letting him patrol the capital is simply condescending. General Changsun saw the saint asking, and he also told the truth: "Since the old minister got along with General Gao, he knows his personality and ability, General Gao is approachable, mingles with his subordinates, and is cautious in doing things, if he is allowed to lead the troops, he is definitely the most suitable candidate among many juniors." ”
Emperor Han nodded after hearing this, and when he was about to ask Gao Yun to leave the class, Prime Minister Li Shizhi went out of the class first and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Li Shizhi didn't wait for Emperor Han to ask, and continued, "General Gao has only been promoted to the position of General Jin Wuwei from the Spring Release, and it has only been a few months, and such frequent promotions can easily chill the old ministers!" Moreover, although General Gao is talented, he has no experience in leading troops, so if he decides to be the commander in such a hurry, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of the past, right? ”
"Then Li Aiqing, what do you say?"
"The minister thinks that the old Marshal Zhou should be in charge, with General Xun as the vanguard, firstly, his master and apprentice have been on the battlefield for a long time to cooperate tacitly, and secondly, the old and the new can be so that the former can avoid the mistake of the former to promote the seedlings."
Emperor Han suddenly felt that Li Shizhi was reasonable, and just when everyone was talking, a person suddenly flashed out in the corner behind the crowd, "Weichen Lu Zuo has a play!" ”
The person who flashed out of the class was Lu Zuo, everyone in the court looked back at Lu Zuo, King Ning's heart bloomed when he saw it, the prince was stunned when he saw it, Xun Mou was shocked when he saw it, Zhou Zhongwang frowned, and Xu Bingde and others were all shocked when they saw it.
Yan Ziqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that it was the rumored Lu Zuo, and glanced at Lu Zuo with disdain, and without waiting for Lu Zuo to speak, he rushed to speak: "Your Majesty, I have the old system, and anyone from the fourth grade or below has no right to discuss the court, and now Lu Zuo has blatantly violated the laws of the imperial court, and it is clear that he does not take His Majesty in his eyes, and he ...... according to the ministers."
"Alright! Yan Aiqing doesn't need to say it! Emperor Han said lightly, "I specially allowed him to enter the palace, today is to discuss the selection of the commander, at that time Lu Aiqing will also go with the army, so he must be present to listen." ”
Seeing His Majesty's serious face, everyone didn't dare to say anything more. Emperor Han saw that the civil and military officials finally stopped talking, so he continued to ask Lu Zuo: "If Lu Aiqing has anything to say, just say it freely, don't shy away from it!" ”
Lu Zuo bowed and said, "Weichen thinks what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. ”
When King Ning, Xun Mou and the others heard him defend the prime minister, their faces changed instantly, and they all wondered if they had heard it wrong.
Lu Zuo then continued: "But my dynasty is full of talents, only by being eclectic can we make talented people in the world do their best for Your Majesty. As far as the minister knows, the marshal of the Great Fan State is named Xiruo Zanzhuo, who is the son of the Great Fan State, who has loved the Han family's art of war since he was a child, and led the troops to kill the enemy at the age of eighteen. In Shanzhou, when a three-year-old child cries on the street, as long as the adults say, 'Xiruo Zanzhuo has arrested someone', the children can't stop crying, and our border people call Xiruo Zanzhuo 'the wolf of the desert'. Therefore, although the words of the prime minister are reasonable, but when it is very important, the handsome position should also be occupied by those who are capable. ”
When Emperor Han heard Lu Zuo say this, he felt a little useful in his heart, "Then according to what Lu Aiqing said, who is the right choice?" ”
Xun Mou frowned when he heard the saint ask, his heart was not good, and he was about to rush to say it before him, but Lu Zuo took the lead. Lu Zuo quickly answered: "Weichen thinks that no matter who I choose now, there may be people who will raise objections, so everyone is a waste of time, and you can't make up your mind, and in the end, it will be useless, so the minister has thought of a way!" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! ”
"Contests to choose a coach!"
As soon as Lu Zuo's words came out, the ministers discussed a lot, and everyone gave a thumbs up, saying that this move was very good, so that the question of choosing the old or the new would be easily solved. Emperor Han also nodded again and again, and Xun Mou and Zhou Zhongwang were even more happy with this idea.
Li Shizhi felt that it was inappropriate, "Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate, since I opened the court, I have never selected a commander through a competition, but I'm afraid that this is too hasty, right?" ”
Xun Mou swore that in his opinion, Lu Zuo's move was tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the competition to select the commander is indeed a good way, which can not only select talents, but also open up a wide range of ways to select talents. ”
Emperor Han nodded and smiled, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”
Seeing that Emperor Han seemed to be interested in the selection of commanders by the martial arts, all the civil and military forces shouted: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”
"Good!" Emperor Han smiled and patted the dragon chair, "Then according to your Aiqing's performance, the competition will select the handsome!" Immediately draw up a decree and announce to the world that as long as those who have the ability, they can take the test and compete, and five days later, they will choose to compete in the school military field. ”
After retreating, those with high grades walked in the front, and those with low grades gave way first, and then followed behind others. Most of the ministers would not deliberately gather too close, and King Ning and Gao Yun were also far away from Lu Zuo in order to avoid suspicion, so Lu Zuo walked behind him. But Lu Zuo's eyes were not staring at Xun Mou, and he found that Xun Mou was also deliberately slowing down.
When Lu Zuo was about to walk down the stone steps, he suddenly found that Xun Mou stopped at the bottom of the steps, and Lu Zuo unconsciously stopped, just after all the ministers walked past Xun Mou, Xun Mou slowly turned around, and his indescribable eyes, like the eyes shot out when an eagle wants to capture prey, stared at Lu Zuo's eyes, Lu Zuo did not retreat, and his deep eyes seemed to engulf the eagle. At that moment, the eyes of the two seemed to produce a dialogue, and the space seemed to be declaring war on each other. After staring at each other for a moment, the two of them showed a weird smile at the same time, and then nodded to each other before Xun Mou turned to leave.
Lu Zuo looked at Xun Mou's distant back, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, it seems that the real show is about to play, Xun Mou's eyes just now are clearly a kind of provocation, a kind of disdain, a kind of contempt for the loser by the winner, he must use the hardest counterattack to make him regret it, no! It's not regret, it's redoubled. Thinking of this, Lu Zuodi's eyes became more and more resolute, and after two wry smiles, he muttered: "The show has finally begun!" ”
