Yang Xiangliang sighed secretly, Zhong'er Zhi is very talented, with such a talent, he still wants to win the Taiwei, I am afraid that he will be eaten so much that there are no bones left, Miao Tieshan, Qi Xinwen and others, which one is good. Seeing this situation, it is difficult for Zhong'er to inherit the family business, and he has to spend more effort on cultivating Wu'er.

Yang Huaizhong looked at his father with a smile, seeing that he didn't make a sound for a long time, he didn't know why, and asked with a smile: "Father, does the Son of Heaven want Jia Qingyuan to be a captain, this is impossible, even if General Jia's martial arts are high, his qualifications are there, and it is difficult to convince the public." ”

"Of course Jia Qingyuan can't be a captain, the Son of Heaven is using the Jia family to beat those who intend to compete for the captain, and the handsome Jia back then failed to become a captain, how can you dare to peep into the position of the captain." The corners of Yang Xiangliang's mouth showed a hint of ridicule, and he guessed eight points of the Son of Heaven's intentions.

Yang Huaizhong was shocked: "According to my father's opinion, the Son of Heaven has no intention of replacing the Zhu family. ”

"Of course", Yang Xiangliang said categorically: "The Zhu family has assured the Son of Heaven of loyalty with more than ten generations and nearly 100 lives, such a general is the one trusted by the Son of Heaven, even if Zhu is simple and not in line with the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven's favor to the Zhu family cannot be easily changed." I heard that Zhu Yifeng is very popular with the Son of Heaven, and he teaches the prince to ride and shoot in the East Palace, and the Zhu family has him, do you say we can fight it? ”

Yang Huaizhong was deflated by what his father said, sat on the chair next to him, and muttered: "The Zhu family is really a good fate, and the country is the same, is the position of this captain destined to belong to the Zhu family?" ”

Yang Xiangliang saw that his son had stopped thinking about competing for the captain, and his mood became relaxed, and he said leisurely: "There is no normality, everything is changing, the key for the Zhu family to sit firmly in the position of the captain is the Son of Heaven, fight or not, Miao Tieshan and Qi Xinwen have made meritorious contributions in the Northern Desert, isn't it just an opportunity to seek a line of change." When the old captain dies, the position of the captain may still move. ”

"In the future, it is not necessary to return it to the Zhu family." Yang Huaizhong hung his head and said dejectedly.

"Hehehe, if you really want to change your surname and sit as a captain, I am afraid it will not be possible to return to the Zhu family at that time." Yang Xiangliang didn't want to continue, patted the letter on the table, picked up what he had just said, and said: "Jiang Anyi now has a very high reputation in Huazhou, and with Guan Pingzhong and Jiang Anyong as his wings, his father will not dare to touch him easily. As a father, he is already the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, twenty years later, Jiang Anyi is in the prime of life, this man is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and he has the title of master and apprentice with the prince, with his ability to do six departments and nine qing, it is certain, even if a very human minister is not difficult to become prime minister. When the time comes, how will your brothers deal with themselves? Therefore, the Father feels that peace is precious for the sake of the future. ”

Yang Huaizhong was silent, although he hated Jiang Anyi, but he asked himself if he was not an opponent when he fought with him, and he was a friend if he was difficult to be an enemy, fortunately, the grievances between the two were not big, and they would meet in the future and say a few good words, and expose the misunderstanding in the past.

Rong Mi country, Crescent City, the lord of the country Tiger dare to lie sick in bed, and the government is temporarily represented by the eldest prince Hu Rui. Clear-eyed people can see that the old king can't support it for a few days, the second prince Hu Li is dead, the throne is bound to pass to the eldest prince, and the civil and military officials headed by the prime minister have expressed their allegiance to Hu Rui, Hu Rui did not expect that the eastward crusade insisted on by his father would bring such an effect, which was an unexpected joy.

However, Hu Rui was not carried away by the joy, and the first thing he did after dispersing the court was to come to the inner palace to meet his father, and report the big and small things in the court to Hu Dang, Hu Rui thought clearly, the throne is determined to fall into his own hands, the more cautious he must be, and the more he must respect his father, so as not to happen.

Hu Kang is obviously aging, his beard is snow-white, his face is pale blue, he speaks and breathes, and quietly listens to his son's account of the court meeting, Hu Kang closed his eyes slightly and said: "You don't have to tell your father about the court meeting in the future, and your father will retire from you next year." ”

Hu Rui was ecstatic in his heart, but his face showed a little frightened look and said: "Father, why do you say this, your body has always been strong, this small injury can recover in a few days, and the subjects of the whole country are looking forward to my father's regain his majesty and come to the court as soon as possible." ”

Hu Dare closed his eyes, lazily discerned whether his son was sincere or false, and asked, "Have you inquired clearly, in whose hands did Hu Li die?" ”

The eastern invasion failed, and the tiger dared to order people to find out whose hands it was defeated, and Rong Mi carefully dressed up as a merchant, and finally inquired about the real situation. Hu Rui said: "The second brother was killed by Jiang Anyong, the younger brother of Jiang Anyi, the assassin of Huazhou, and Yi Caiduo also died in the hands of Jiang Anyong. ”

Hu Rui pondered for a moment and said: "Jiang Anyi buried my dead soldiers in the west of Hecheng County, built a mass grave, and also made a stone record for the people of Zheng Guo to visit. ”

Tiger dared to close his eyes tightly, but his chest gasped like a bellows, and a violent cough burst out, so frightened that the maid next to him hurriedly helped him up and patted and stroked for him. For a long time, the tiger dared to spit out the thick phlegm with blood in his mouth, and he felt a little more comfortable. Pushing away the maid's hand, Hu Dare stared at Hu Rui and said: "The throne is passed to you, and Hu Li's revenge for you, the eldest brother, will avenge him." Also, in the future, when you lead your troops into Zheng State, remember to use the heads of 100,000 Zheng people to pay tribute to the 10,000 graves. ”

Coming out of the dormitory, Hu Rui's steps became brisk, and when he came to the council hall, Prime Minister Qiu Linda and others hurriedly got up to salute. Hu Rui smiled: "I have already said that there is no need to be polite, Qiu Xiang will not take Xiao Wang's words seriously if he does this again." ”

Qiu Lin didn't dare to say that he didn't dare to say in his heart, and said in his heart If I don't be respectful, I'm afraid that when you ascend the throne, it will be my time to give office, and besides, I usually handle the government impartially, and I have offended the eldest prince several times.

After Hu Rui sat down on the throne, Qiu Linda carefully reported a few court affairs, and agreed to Hu Rui's different opinions. Hu Rui was proud in his heart, the prime minister even had to fight a few words against his father's words on weekdays, but he was as obedient as a Persian cat in front of him, this old thing must have realized that he was ready to replace him, and now he wants to please himself, it's too late.

With a warm smile on his face, Hu Rui said: "Everyone, just now Xiao Wang went to Jin to see his father, and his father told Xiao Wang to avenge Brother Wang and the two generals, I don't know if you have any good opinions?" ”

Hippa took the lead in suggesting: "In this Eastern Crusade, the second prince and Ikodo were too aggressive, resulting in the failure of the whole battle, and our country's strength still exists. "Hippa has always been friendly with the eldest prince Hu Rui, and with Tiger Rui in power, he is anxious to move his rankings forward, with the dead of the Ten Golden Protectors in third place, Ikodo in fifth place, and Hippa in eighth place.

Hu Rui obviously has no interest in going out to Zheng Guo, just after the failure of the Eastern Expedition, the morale of the army is low, especially the loss of more than 10,000 people is the elite of the army, Rong Miguo has been injured, and the uneasy factors in the four realms have increased. Hu Rui is about to succeed to the throne, and if he wants to subdue the opposition forces, he will mainly focus on the country, where will he want to crusade eastward again.

"Prime Minister Qiu, you are old and serious, I don't know what your opinion is?" Hu Rui asked with a smile.

Obedient and obedient, the words "Lao Cheng is serious" made Qiu Lin understand that the eldest prince had no intention of going on the expedition, which was exactly what he wanted. However, Qiu Linda also heard the hidden murderous intent from his words. Lao Wang confessed that he wanted to avenge Huli, and if he said that he could not go on the expedition, I was afraid that the eldest prince would push the boat down the river and put the responsibility on himself, and if Lao Wang blamed him, he would let himself go to the throne. Thinking of this, Qiu Lin couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, he worked hard for the country all his life, and after all, he couldn't defeat a son of heaven and a courtier.

Hu Rui was stunned when he saw Qiu Lin, and forced him to ask: "Prime minister, you are an old minister, Xiao Wang is shallow, I want to hear your opinion before making a decision." ”

Qiu Lin was furious, the eldest prince seemed to not want to keep himself, his temper was originally upright, and during this period of time, in order to protect the phase, he was humble and bowed, and he felt quite uneasy, Hu Rui still had to press forward step by step, so he simply let it go. Qiu Lin sneered and said: "The king invaded Zheng State with 40,000 elites and was defeated by 3,000 light cavalry of the Zheng people. ”

"Ridiculous", "nonsense", reprimands erupted, and the council room was noisy. Qiu Lin glanced at the noisy civil and military officers coldly, and shouted: "Everyone has seen the winch crossbow and repeater crossbow that the king transported from Jingmen Pass, and you think that you can use many people to open the level. Don't tell me about the combination of inside and outside, but you can't do it again, as long as Zheng Ren is not a fool, next time you want to easily take the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb to the sky. I heard the returning soldiers say that the Zheng people dare to kill me with a thousand people, regardless of victory or defeat, the courage can be seen, the princes should not say anything in the future, Zheng people are weak, you can use one enemy ten, one enemy ten is Zheng people with one enemy and I ten times. ”

Along with Hu Rui, Qiu Lin was beaten and stammered, and the council hall was awkwardly deserted. Qiu Lin said unhurriedly: "Outside the first to settle inside, now Rong Mi's vitality is greatly injured, Xiu Li and Le Li are out of sight, Shasu and Qiang Lan have rebelled, Wei Che and other countries are afraid that they are also secretly thinking, all ethnic groups in the country are trying to wait and see, and the danger is everywhere, if you still have arrogant intentions to go east, once you lose, the country will be destroyed, don't forget, how the ancient country of Louqing was wiped out." ”

Death-like silence, Lou Qingguo is the only powerful country that has dominated the Western Regions for 200 years, and the Great Wei invaded the time in the east, but was killed by the Wei army into the territory to destroy its country, and the Western Regions was split from the previous eight countries to the current twenty-eight countries. Hu Rui came to his senses, and he couldn't let Qiu Lin continue to talk, and if he said a few more words, he was afraid that the ministers would be afraid and would not dare to give birth to the heart of going east.

Coughing lightly, Hu Rui said with dissatisfaction: "According to the meaning of the prime minister, I, Rong Miguo, am I going to quickly bow down to Zheng Guo?" I, Rong Mi, am not Lou Qing, and Zheng people don't dare to face me Rong Mi. Qiu Xiang, don't be alarmist, let me ask you, how to avenge Huli's revenge? ”
