Otherwise, as a prison soldier, he should be in the rear, no matter how dangerous the war is, how can his life be in danger? forced him to write this suicide note to explain the aftermath?

"Idiot!! Idiot!! ”

At this time, in the main hall of the palace, all the ministers bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and they didn't even dare to pant loudly.

Because that day, Yang He, was tearfully losing his temper on the dragon chair:

"100,000 Southern Expeditionary Army! How could the entire 100,000 Southern Expeditionary Army be defeated and annihilated by thousands of remnants? Even my teacher ...... Also...... It's all stupid!! What do I want you to do?!! ”

After that, Yang He copied the piece and smashed it directly on the head of the military department.

The military department Shangshu didn't dare to hide, so he just let the piece hit his head, and then hurriedly bowed his head and said:

"The crime of capital punishment! I never expected that there would be a flood in the south, and the generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army were so happy that this caused a catastrophe.

The minister is willing to resign from the position of the secretary of the military department, wear the guilt at home, and wait for His Majesty's heavenly might! ”

"Resign??"

Yang He gritted his teeth with hatred, and spit out a few words from between his teeth:

"If you resign, will you be able to bring back my army of 100,000? Can you make that Nanban bow down?!

You waste, in addition to resigning, what will you say when you encounter a big event? Yes?! Answer?! What else are you going to say?! ”

Yang He also seemed to be tired of scolding, and finally glanced at the full hall and scolded in a low voice:

"Full of mediocrity, stealing from high positions! It's not as useful as my inner prison! ”

After leaving the main hall, Yang He was still in a bad mood, but he still endured his anger and said to Wang Zhen beside him:

"Quickly send Hou Shigui over, these big families, I don't want to endure it for a moment!"

As soon as Hou Shigui returned to the inn, his sad face was seen by his subordinates.

"Hou Lang, what's wrong?"

Guo Lianqing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Hou Shigui to sit down on a chair, only to hear Hou Shigui's words:

"Teacher, he ...... The immortal is gone. ”

"Mr. Liu?!"

"How so!"

Bao Ji and Xiang Xu are also familiar with Liu Xuan, and when they were in Xiling, they were scolded by Liu Xuan so much that they were bloody.

But when I heard the news at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little sad for my son.

After all, Childe's feelings for Mr. Liu ......

Hou Shigui shook his head and said:

"I don't know the inside story, but I only saw a letter from my uncle to explain my last words."

Xiang Xu guessed:

"Before Liu Lao became a prisoner, His Majesty had already suspected that he was the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, after all, before Liu Lao, those prison soldiers were all killed, son, will it be ......?"

Without waiting for Hou Shigui to answer, Wang Hou on the side shook his head and said:

"Impossible, those prison guards in the past are not the same as Liu Lao.

After all, Liu Lao is His Majesty's teacher, his status is noble, and he is respected by His Majesty, unless those people are really ready to rebel, it is impossible for them to dare to attack Liu Lao. ”

"What if the Southern Expeditionary Army really rebels? After all, there is no news from the south now. ”

Bao Ji also guessed.

Wang Hou shook his head again and denied:

"Even if they want to rebel, Liu Lao can't be killed by them, otherwise how can Liu Lao have time to write a suicide note? Can you still send people back to Chu Jing? And there is no mention of rebellion in the suicide note? ”

Only at this time did Hou Shigui nod and say:

"What Mr. Wang said is reasonable, the only possibility is that the Southern Expeditionary Army suddenly encountered some powerful variables, which caused them to be defeated and killed in an instant, so that the teacher did not even have time to escape."

But what kind of variables can make an army of 100,000 rout in an instant?

Hou Shigui was puzzled, so he said:

"If you are barbarians, how can you turn defeat into victory in this situation? Defeat the well-armed, well-fed 100,000 Southern Expeditionary Army in an instant? And they don't even have a chance to escape. ”

Hearing Hou Shigui's question, the big guys also came to the spirit.

When he was in Xiling, Hou Shigui always liked to discuss the battle situation with them and fiddle with the sand table.

So, everyone started to discuss it.

It wasn't until the discussion was almost over that Hou Shigui said:

"Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of winning more with less, and the Chibi Sun and Liu coalition army was able to defeat the Cao army, which was known as a million.

It's rainy in the south, and the weather is often very humid, but I still agree with what Bao Ji said, the water attack. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin voice sounded outside the door:

"Hou Gongzi, Your Majesty has recruited you to enter the palace immediately."

Seeing that the person who came was Wang Zhen, Hou Shigui also knew what Yang He was recruiting himself into the palace for.

An army of 100,000 was drowned by thousands of barbarians, and Yang He's current mood can be imagined.

The good days of those fat-bodied families can be regarded as the end.

So Hou Shigui hurriedly put away his grief and indignation, and instead said to Wang Zhen with a flattering smile:

"Why did the king's inner eunuch come in person? Wouldn't it be nice to just change someone? ”

Well? Why did Hou Gongzi suddenly become so polite?

Wang Zhen didn't know what was going to happen next, and he looked strange.

However, Hou Shigui's attitude made him feel more comfortable in his heart, and he hurriedly became polite to Hou Shigui.

Then he quietly told the news of the defeat of the Southern Expeditionary Army:

"Your Majesty is furious because of this, and Hou Gongzi has entered the palace, don't be careful."

Hou Shigui pretended not to know about this, and hurriedly asked about the teacher, and after hearing that the teacher had passed away, he hugged Wang Zhen and cried like a child.

Until he entered the main hall where Yang He was, his eyes were still red and swollen:

"Minister, please see Your Majesty."

Hearing Hou Shigui's words, Yang He looked up and found that his eyes were red, and the tip of his nose was also red.

Thinking that Liu Xuan was also the teacher of this guy, he sighed and said:

"You know everything?"

Hou Shigui nodded and said in a deep voice:

"100,000 soldiers, buried in other places, are all stupid people selected because of filial piety!"

As he spoke, Hou Shigui suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang He on the dragon chair, his eyes did not back down at all.

also made an open look, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, please set up a brocade guard, supervise the civil and military officials, establish a factory guard, and supervise the brocade guard!"

Why did a brocade guard pop up again?

Although Yang He called Hou Shigui to come, he also wanted to ask him what he said in front of the palace before.

But he didn't expect Hou Shigui to be so sad and angry that he didn't care about it and said it directly.

Without waiting for Yang He to ask, Hou Shigui continued:

After that day, the minister went back and thought about it, and it was indeed inappropriate to supervise the minister's work with internal supervision.

His Majesty can set up a separate guard, called Jinyiwei, which is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, and the selection of officials does not need to be filial piety, but is selected by Jinyiwei himself.

This guard ......"

The yamen of Jinyiwei can be described as an ancient yamen that young people in later generations are familiar with.

After all, in most costume dramas, there are brocade guards.

Handsome is handsome, but if you really want to talk about it, it is also the most terrifying yamen for civil and military officials.

Hou Shigui told Yang He about the Jinyi Wei Yamen, which he had improved in his heart, including in all ministries, armies, prefectures, counties, secret bribes to become Jinyi Wei and so on.

Let the world no matter what happens, it can't hide it from Yang He.
