Today, there are people holding wat boards one after another, although it is only a day, but the atmosphere in the court is very active.

Military reports from the front came back, and cloth was given to the northern Tartar city only last year, and recently it has become active in the north. Zhenbei General Yuhuzi asked for battle. In the west, Tibet has been defeated and retreated to the plateau, and the soldiers and horses in the Central Plains are difficult to adapt to the climate, and it is becoming more and more difficult day by day to achieve greater results.

Du Ping went to Xu De's Mansion to visit him when he returned to Beijing, and the day before yesterday, he went into the Jiuguang Pavilion, and he only came out of the land of fireworks early this morning, and he was standing next to Xu De at the moment, with a tired look on his face.

"Just stand and see what you look like." Xu De whispered a lesson to him.

When Du Ping heard this, he immediately raised his head and took out the posture of a fierce general.

Today's emperor is obviously still timid, the day before yesterday after the dynasty Xu De broke into the harem again, these officials all know, but those who are in charge of supervision are like blind people, automatically ignoring what Xu De did, and holding on to the other officials.

"Then what did Xu De do in the harem the day before yesterday?" A young man, dressed in a fourth-grade military attache clouded leopard suit, whispered to another young man beside him.

"Who knows, it is estimated that it was the board that hit my emperor's younger brother." The other person was also wearing a four-grade clouded leopard suit.

"It was so interesting in the court the day before yesterday, but I missed it because I didn't want to see Du Ping's foolishness." The young man who spoke earlier had a distressed expression.

"Who isn't, it's a pity that the eldest grandson Shangshu is a man."

At this time, a person in the front row turned around and said softly: "Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness, don't talk about it anymore, above the court." ”

It turned out that these two people turned out to be Yu Yan, the only son of Yuhuzi, and Liu Xian, the son of Guangnan Palace. The official in front of him quietly reminded him and then stopped talking, and the two of them were no longer easy to speak, so they had to hang their heads and look at the cracks in the ground in a daze.

"General Yu is willing to make a military order and launch the Northern Expedition, what do you think of Aiqing." After listening carefully to the minister's recital, the emperor asked the ministers instead.

"Your Majesty, it's not right. The west is about to unify the southwest, how can we share the national strength to the north at this time. The first person to answer turned out to be Wu Dakai, who answered Xu De outside the noon gate at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Wu said is unreasonable. The Western Front is already in a quagmire, so why not free up your hands to pack up your tartars. In the past two years, their arrogance has become higher and higher. This time without a fight, cut the land and sue for peace, presumably at the end of the year, they will come to grab things again for the winter! "It was the criminal department Shangshu Wan Kefa who said this.

"This old thing ......" Du Ping scolded and was about to step forward to make a fuss, but when he saw Xu De's unkind eyes, he closed his mouth and quietly retreated to Xu De's side.

"The Emperor's ......"

"The Emperor's ......"

……

Soon, the situation in the court was no longer under control, several old ministers almost moved, and Wu Dakai, who was the first to speak, was squeezed back into the queue early, but it was Wan Kefa, the old man, alone, dragging several of Xu De's subordinates, and launched a unique scolding war.

Yu Yan and Liu Xian saw this situation, and most of the military attaches around them secretly laughed, thinking that what kind of reputation can these scholars make, and they can still govern the society like this?

"Silence!" The old eunuch standing beside the emperor waved the dust, and said loudly in a sharp voice, his voice was unique in the court, and he was surrounded by the voices of a group of big men, making the court quiet.

"What does King Qin think?" The emperor asked Xu De's opinion, anyway, even if he made a decision alone, if he didn't agree with Xu De's ideas, he couldn't do it.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Whether this fight or not, it is naturally His Majesty who makes the decision. Xu De's meticulous face could even see the glow of loyalty on his face.

Many of the ministers saw Xu De's appearance, and couldn't help but secretly scold Xu De in their hearts for being treacherous and loyal.

When the emperor saw Xu De pushing the problem back, he also scolded Xu De as a traitor in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Then I will make a decision on this matter after thinking about it." ”

In fact, the reason why Xu De pushed the problem back was not because he didn't dare to say it, but this morning, he was always immersed in Guo Yi's words, thinking about the princess, and he really couldn't concentrate on the court. Guo Yi remained silent as always, as if there was no such person in the court.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." The old eunuch who stood there waved the dust again, and his sharp voice dragged on for a long time, and said such a sentence.

This voice suddenly woke up Xu De, and he came back to his senses, walked to the middle of the hall in a few steps, knelt down and saluted, and said, "The minister has something to do." ”

The emperor felt inexplicable and said, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

"The former Datong General Soldier Ma Dahai is very old, and he has died of old age a few days ago. Now the war in the north is tight, Datong is the key place for the Jin country to go south, the position of the general army can not be vacant, and the minister is willing to raise a person to serve as the general army of Datong. ”

"According to your wishes, who can serve as the commander of this Datong."

"Guo Yi, the head of the Ministry of War, Wen Tao Wuluo, can be of great use."

The court suddenly fell silent, and many old ministers thought for a long time before they remembered the vague dark cheeks that were known for being unsociable.

"Hey, Xu De, shouldn't your father have the final say, shouldn't your father have the final say, what's going on?" Liu Xian obviously didn't expect Xu De to come to the court today, and asked Yu Yan, whose face was already gloomy, to the side of him.

"That Ma Dahai is now in office, where can I tell the old man, Xu De, this despicable villain." Yu Yan's eyebrows were crooked, in the past, Xu De had a holiday with his Zhenbei generals, but he didn't expect to stab him in the heart of the Zhenbei General's Mansion this time.

Just as Yu Yan was about to go out to fight a war of words with that Xu De, Wan Kefa, who had not been in the front row for a long time, moved faster than him, shouting in his mouth, he knelt in the center of the hall, felt that he was kneeling too close to Xu De, moved to the side a little, and said: "Guo Yi, this person, is just the head of a mere six-grade person, how can he be promoted to such a feudal official as the chief soldier, and the main thing is Wenchen, since ancient times, there has been no reason for Wenchen to lead the troops at the border!" ”

"Lord Wan's words are wrong, Guo Yi is the elite of my Anxi army, but after being injured, he returned to Beijing to recuperate and became an official in the court. Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Xu De preemptively said, seeing that Wan Kefa was about to speak, he added: "Besides, meritocracy, where is there a reason for rank to stop Maxima." ”

"You are messing around," Na Wan Kefa saw that he was invincible, kowtowed again, and said, "Please make a clear decision to the emperor." ”

The little emperor didn't expect such a thing to happen in the court, and after a little hesitation, he asked out loud: "I believe in the vision of King Qin," he said, and glanced at Guo Yi, who was looking at him with strange eyes by the ministers, but he was at ease, and said again: "It's just that the general army of Datong has always been recommended by the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and the intention of the King of Qin has been to the imperial family." "The emperor was originally submissive, but these words tied Yuhuzi, but he calmed down, Xu De Yuhuzi, he, the emperor, can't afford to provoke him.

When Yu Yan heard this, his face looked a little better, his nose snorted lightly, and Liu Xian beside him heard it, and the corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly.

"The minister has informed the imperial general that the imperial general is fighting a guerrilla battle with the cavalry of the Jin country, saying that everything is left to Weichen to decide, and Wen Mu will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Hearing this, not only Yu Yan, but also all the ministers in the court felt incredible, they had never heard of Xu De and Yu Huzi's friendship, how could they give such a big gift now.

"What benefits did Xu De promise your father?" Liu Xian obviously didn't expect Xu De to reach an agreement with Yuhuzi.

Yu Yan shook his head, his anger completely gone, he was even horrified now, he couldn't understand why his father hadn't even reminded him of such an important decision.

"Then according to what King Qin said, where is Guo Yi?" The Emperor sent an inquiry to his subordinates.

"Weichen Guo Yi knocked on the emperor." Guo Yi came out of the ranks, knelt down behind Xu De, and saluted to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair on the steps.

"I order you to go to Datong as the chief soldier on the same day, and work with the imperial general to fight against the Jin State."

"Obey. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Guo Yi was like a warrior in iron armor, ignoring the strange eyes in the hall. After thanking him, he retreated into the queue, and after Xu De saluted, he also retreated.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." The old eunuch shook off the dust and howled again.

"Congratulations to the emperor!" The ministers all knelt down and saluted, so did Xu De, Du Ping saw that Xu De was like this, even if there were thousands of unwilling, he still knelt down and saluted the emperor who was far away.

Then, the ministers all retreated to the outside of the hall in a row, and just a short distance out of the main hall, Du Ping, who had been following Xu De, quietly slowed down, ready to slip away while Xu De was not paying attention.

"You have a house in Beijing, isn't it big enough? The entire Tianjing City will be rewarded to you. Xu De didn't look back, he heard Du Ping's footsteps and knew that the thief wanted to escape again.

"It's a leading general, and it's my son, you are shameless, you still want to save two points of reputation as a father." The tone of blame in Xu De's voice was not strong, and there was even some hint of ridicule, he knew best what his own reputation was.

When Du Ping heard this, even though there were thousands of people who were unhappy, he had no choice but to go back to his house.

Outside the noon gate, Li Tie had already been waiting here in a car, and from a distance, Xu De saw that in addition to Li Tie, there was a person standing next to the car. got closer and found that it was Guo Yi. Guo Yi saluted to the two people who came over: "Lord Wang, General Du." ”

"Don't understand?" Xu De asked aloud as he got into the carriage.

"I don't understand."

"I'll tell you what's going on before I come to my house."

"Yes." Although Guo Yi looks rough, she has good manners, and like Xu De, she can't find fault with it.

"Also, you go to the Tai Hospital and call a Tai Doctor to come to my house."

"Yes. Does the prince have any other commands? ”

"You're also an official of the imperial court, can't you even afford a horse?" Hüd laughed at his half-aged donkey.

Guo Yi held the rope with one hand, and touched the old donkey's head with the other: "A few days ago, when I went to the market to buy rice, I saw that an old farmer was going to sell the donkey to bury his wife, and the lower official did not have a mount, so he simply bought it." ”

"How much?"

"Four taels of silver."

"You have suffered a loss, four taels of silver is enough to buy a bad horse."

"But it's enough."

Xu De touched his waist and threw a money bag to Guo Yi: "There are twenty taels of silver in it, go buy a horse." ”

"Got it, the next official retired." Guo Yi saluted, then got on the donkey and walked slowly.

Du Ping listened to Xu De's previous instructions and asked, "Father-in-law, are you sick?" The concern on his face is not pretended, after the three brothers were all criminals, they were rescued by Xu De, and from the bottom of their hearts, they regarded Xu De as their father.

"This king sings at night, the ten girls of the night emperor, hurts his body, and asks the imperial doctor for two pairs of tonic to eat, do you believe it?"

Du Ping heard the ridicule in Xu De's words, and pretended to be serious: "Erchen retires" and then fled.

Xu De sat in the carriage, lowered the curtain, and said, "Go back." ”

When Li Tie heard this, he drove the car in the direction he came.
