No matter how angry the generals questioned or pleaded in a low voice, they could not make the two prime ministers change their minds.

Tang Xing and Zhang Pu's suggestions were highly recognized by the Xiao generals. After realizing that there was no longer a turnaround in the situation, the Yang generals also had to force themselves to accept this cruel reality. Since they can't stop it, the only thing they can do is not to install some of their own people in the Right Divine Mighty Army. The generals of the Xiao family, who had been fighting with the Yang family for more than ten years, finally won a complete victory today, and in addition to raising their eyebrows, they gave up the position of Sima Governor very "generously", and of course Sima was still Tu Da; Yang Du's side could barely accept this result. So the meeting was almost over.

The old Xiangguo Tang Xing, who presided over the meeting, finally said: "After you go back, don't follow the new "Drill Code" for everything. After all, the new "Drill Code" was mainly compiled according to the training of the Yanshan Guard; The Yanshan Guards are border garrisons, and many situations are different from those of the forbidden army, so when you are training, some details can also be taken into account in the past. However, the details of military training must be carefully written down. These documents must be handed over to the Ministry of War......" He said some more words, and finally asked Zhang Pu: "That's what I want to say." What else does Zhang Xiang have to say no to the generals? ”

"It's gone." Zhang Pu said.

"And that's it for today?"

"Okay."

Tang Xing bowed slightly, turned his head and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Before the words fell, Yang Du stood up with the long case. As he moved, the heavy openwork ebony nanmu seat slid on the green bricks underground, with an unpleasant creak. He didn't even glance at the two prime ministers, nor did he greet anyone, he dragged aside the seats that were in the way, kicked his leather boots and strode out of the main hall without looking back. With him taking the lead, the generals of the Yang family, who had suffered a big loss, had a look of disgrief on their faces, got up and made a military salute to the three prime ministers, deputy prime ministers and a few Shangzhu countries, and hurriedly rushed out after Yang Du's back.

Zhang Pu and Zeng Ao each had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible to delay here longer, let alone pay attention to Yang Du's disrespect, and everyone in the court nodded slightly, and took the lead to leave; It's that Tang Xing doesn't look like he's in a hurry to leave. He said, "Everybody disperse." One by one, you stay one step, I have a little private matter I want to ask you. ”

Since Tang Xing said it clearly, he had something to talk to Shang Cheng about, how could others delay in this place? Gu Shi, Yan Gu, Shangguan Rui, Chen Pu and other generals said goodbye to Lao Xiangguo one after another and left.

Just now, it was noisy like the main hall of the military headquarters in the town market, and it was deserted all of a sudden.

The inexplicable Shang Cheng didn't sit down again. He stood there, watching Lao Xiangguo stagger, arranging the scattered chairs in front of the long desk one by one, until Tang Xing put the last chair away, and he didn't say a word.

Tang Xing examined his labor with satisfaction, and said to Shang Cheng: "Let's go, let's talk while walking." I was going to send a message to you in the next two days, and it just so happened that you were back! ”

Shang Cheng was speechless, followed Tang Xing's side, and silently followed outside the yamen of the military department. When he crossed the high threshold at the entrance of the courtyard, he also took Tang Xing's arm and helped the old man.

Although with Shang Cheng's help, Tang Xing's legs and feet are still not very neat, although his steps are still relatively steady, but his steps are very small and he walks very slowly. After walking for a while, Lao Xiangguo suddenly said with emotion: "People are old, and their arms and legs are really bad." ”

Shang Cheng still didn't speak. Just held the old man's arm and walked slowly with him like a walk.

The military department is one of the most important yamen of the imperial court, and it is also one of the most lively yamen, and there is almost no time for people to come and go in the courtyards of several ministries on both sides of the stone road. Even if these officials and officers didn't know Tang Xing and Shang Cheng, they knew that these were two great people when they saw their costumes, and they would bow from a distance and avoid getting out of the way.

After walking for a while, Tang Xing said again: "I remember, you once told me that when you were just eating military rations, you were seriously injured once, and it was a doctor from Yi County who saved your life. One by one, right? ”

"Yes." Shang Cheng said, "It was the divine doctor who saved my life." In the summer of that year, I was ordered to attack Gongqian Pass, and on the wall of the pass I met a man who was using a large iron mallet. The strength of that man was so great that I was no match at all, and I would not have survived until now had it not been for a brother who pounced on me and blocked me. The brother went away on the spot, and I was smashed off the wall by the gavel, and fell into the crowd of the Tututs; The man fainted, too. More than a dozen people died just to save me. One by one, my life was exchanged for more than a dozen people with their own lives! As he spoke, his voice went low, and his emotions were inexplicably depressed. What had happened a few years ago suddenly came to him with great clarity. Buying horses, transporting grain, Koubian, the death of Uncle Zhuzi, his and Shishi's flight, and Lianniang and the child in her womb...... His lips tensed, not wanting to speak anymore. He also lost the courage to speak! He lowered his eyelids and stared at the bluestone slabs paved under his feet, watching the slabs slowly move from far to near, and then slowly disappear from sight...... He originally thought that with the passage of time, many things would slowly fade into forgotten people, and finally turn into a freeze-frame picture like a photograph, and then he could forget those sad and sad things, leaving only happy and joyful moments. Why, however, did the things he most wish to forget remain so clear until now, as if engraved in his mind, and brought him pain and remorse over and over again? And the beautiful moments he wanted to keep the most gradually became blurred and dim? Could it be that this most memorable and memorable good time in his life will one day leave him? An inexplicable fear and worry welled up in his heart.

Just when he was about to immerse himself in his inner world, Lao Xiangguo's words brought him back to reality.

"At that time, the person who treated your injuries and treated you was the doctor who wished for the gods?"

“…… Yes, that's him. Shang Cheng struggled to make his voice sound like usual. But he failed. He can't do it! He said sadly, "...... When I was rescued, I was said to have lost my pulse. The stone is my brother one by one, and my brother went back to find the doctor Zhu, and invited him from the county seat to the military camp in front of Gongqian Pass overnight, so that I survived by luck. ”

Tang Xing said with emotion: "This Doctor Zhu is robbing people under the hands of the King of Hades!" To be able to do this, he deserves the word 'miracle doctor'! ”

Shang Cheng very much agrees with this assessment. He has always admired the medical skills of the divine doctor, even to the point of some superstition. Otherwise, when he fell from a horse in Fangzhou last year, he would not have let the two imperial doctors go, and he had to invite the doctor from Yi County to Fangzhou to see him.

“…… That's right, Zida," Tang Xing smiled and nodded to the two oncoming military officials, and said after considering his words, "From last year to now, I have a boil the size of a fingernail on my vest, and I always have pain from time to time. And I can't touch it, it hurts so much that I can't even sleep, I don't dare to lean on the back of the chair when I sit down, and I have to be cautious all the time. The doctor from the hospital saw it and said that it was liver deficiency, fire and heat poison attacking the heart. I also took a lot of medicine, but it didn't have the slightest effect at all. Especially since this summer, it seems that the pain is getting worse and worse...... You say, "I am sick, can I be cured by a divine doctor?" ”

After Shang Cheng heard what he said, he was stunned first. He couldn't have imagined that Tang Xing deliberately kept him down just to ask about the divine doctor. But he immediately said in a big way: "Surely no problem! You don't know, the real ability of the doctor is not in the blue and red wounds, but in the treatment of various incurable diseases! He immediately gave an example to prove what he said. Didn't I fall from a horse last year and get hurt? At that time, I wished the divine doctor to come to Fangzhou to help me treat the disease! He suddenly remembered that he was still "recuperating" in the capital at the moment, and a wave of anger came up, and he couldn't help but want to scold his mother a little. But he thought about it, and finally swallowed all the unpleasant words back. In the matter of him being transferred out of Yanshan's idle capital, Tang Xing, who is the left minister, must have also nodded; He can't say unpleasant things in front of the old minister, right? So he changed his words and said, "...... Otherwise, I will write a letter back, and please wish the divine doctor to come to the capital for a trip. ”

Tang Xing shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not necessary. I'm going to be there next year, and it's not too late to ask a miracle doctor to help me see a doctor by then. ”

Shang Cheng knew that Tang Xing was about to retire, and recommended Zhang Pu to take over as Prime Minister Zuo, so he had to worry about whether if he asked the divine doctor to come now, it would leave a bad impression on others. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." However, when you said that, I suddenly remembered something. I made an appointment with Dr. Zhu last year, and when my side settles down, I will invite him to come over and travel in the Central Plains; Some time ago, I also wrote a letter to invite him to be a guest; Calculating the date, he should be almost there. ”

Tang Xing smiled and stopped talking about it.

Walking out of the yamen of the military department, an official of the prime minister's office was about to come over to support Tang Xing; Not far away, on the side of the heavenly street, there are two miscellaneous servants and people in uniform, guarding a purple-covered soft sedan chair, one by one, which is obviously the gift of the Son of Heaven to Tang Xing. Tang Xing waved his hand, signaled the official not to come over first, stopped and said to Shang Cheng, "I'll talk to you about something again." Zhu Xuan is very sick and has been completely unable to take care of affairs. Although the Yanshan Admiral's Mansion sealed the news very tightly, the Yanzhou Imperial History still heard the news and had already sent a letter back. ”

"What's going on?" Shang Cheng was not surprised, and hurriedly asked. Suffering from the sedal plague, although the order is not a thing, but those bastards can't make a Shangzhu country angry to death, right?

"In the book of Yanzhou Imperial History, it is said that today's preface is 'swollen and floating, like a person entering a brocade, the skin is like a cicada's wings, and the texture and veins are all distinguishable and refreshing'. It seems that it is because of the lack of adaptation. Tang Xing said. His tone was flat, as if he wasn't talking about the illness of a Shangzhuguo. It seems that the old man hated Zhu Xu's practice of concealing his illness, and even hated Zhu Xu. But this is normal. From the eighteenth year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty to the present, it took Da Zhao five years and countless manpower and material resources to achieve the current situation of Yanshan. But Zhu Xu, he was obviously overwhelmed by the burden of the admiral, but he blocked his illness from the imperial court, which was no longer an ordinary dereliction of duty! Fortunately, Yan Shan didn't have an accident, otherwise Tang Xing wouldn't have been able to spare him!

Shang Cheng's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from speaking. But he couldn't suppress the surging flames in his heart at all, and a low and terrifying voice rolled out of his throat: "What are you going to do?" ”

He has always respected Tang Xing. This is not only because Tang Xing is an elder, but also because Tang Xing is endurance and conscientiousness. However, he has now left all of this behind him. He is now asking the prime minister as a Shangzhu country: In the face of such a situation, what should the prime minister's public office do if he is going to take Yanshan? If the Turquoise people suddenly came over now, without the dispatch and command of the Admiral Zhuxu, what would the situation be?

"Zhu Xuan can't continue to stay in Yanshan."

Shang Cheng stiffened his face and said nothing. He doesn't care whether the order lives or dies! He just wants Yanshan to be safe! He must also ensure that Yan Shanwei is thorough!

Tang Xing also felt the pressure brought by Shang Cheng's silence. He said carefully: "The Chishu of Yanzhou Imperial History arrived in the evening the day before yesterday, and it has not yet entered the file. He rolled his eyelids and stared at Shang Cheng.

Shang Cheng knew very well what this meant, that is, there were very few people who knew the news, so little that even Zeng Ao, the deputy prime minister who was also the secretary of the military department, did not know. Moreover, according to the analysis of the news transmitted back from the imperial history of Yanzhou, Zhu Xuan not only blocked his physical condition from the imperial court, but also did not reveal anything about Yan Gu; Yan Gu is still in the dark, and he still thinks that the reason why Zhuxu can't open the situation in Yanshan is because Yanshan's civil and military forces don't buy it. But what can be done? The paper can't contain the fire, and sooner or later the matter of the order will be spread, and sooner or later it will be known!

"Me and Zhang Xiang," Tang Xing stared at Shang Cheng and said slowly, "Zhang Xiang and I, one by one, we all want to ask you, after the preface, who is more suitable to be the Admiral of Yanshan?" Is it Zhang Shao, or Ximen Sheng? ”

"Zhang Shao!" Shang Cheng said without hesitation. The qualifications, achievements, and merits of the two people are inseparable, but Zhang Shao is the first official of Yanshan Weifu, and his position is still above Ximensheng, so there is no reason to skip the rank and promote Ximensheng; This is one of them. Second, Zhang Shao has been in Yanshan for seven years, he is very familiar with him up and down, and he has a good relationship with civil officials such as Lu Ji and Di Xu, so he naturally has more advantages as a commander; Third, Zhang Shao's ability is particularly critical above Ximensheng. Although Zhang Shao and Ximen Sheng are too stable in military affairs and lack some adventurism, they cannot be said to be the best candidates, but Yan Shanwei has missed the opportunity to completely defeat the king of Donglu Valley, and he can only hide and defend it in the next few years. It's a pity, Shao Chuan can attack and defend well, but this bastard is illiterate, and he can only wait until the next life if he wants to be a commander......

"I see." Tang Xing said, "I'll discuss it with Zhang Xiang again when I go back." ”

He didn't say that Zhang Shaoxing was still not good, but Shang Cheng understood that it was already a sure thing for Zhu Xu to leave Yanshan, and it was imperative for Zhang Shao to take over as the governor of Yanshan.
