At the beginning of the founding of Daning, the emperor will hunt twice a year to practice the forbidden army, the summer hunt goes farther, will go to the palace in the east of Xinjiang, and the winter hunt is in Yanshan north of Chang'an City, after a hundred years of Daning's founding, the country is stable, the national strength is getting stronger, the emperor canceled the summer hunt, after all, the road is far away, and you have to go for half a year.

And then another hundred years, the winter hunt is not held every year, to the Daning Tiancheng Emperor Li Chengtang ascended the throne for more than 20 years, there have only been three winter hunts, one summer hunt, so it is of great significance to hold a winter hunt before this northern expedition, whether it is the forbidden army or civil and military officials know that this is the final equipment for the northern expedition.

Today, all the armies have been pulled, some on the road and some have arrived in northern Xinjiang, and a year before the arrival of the army, the materials needed for grain and grass have been transported to northern Xinjiang, and the three new giant granaries in northern Xinjiang are enough to support the consumption of millions of troops for several years.

With the rich places of southern Xinjiang and the southern part of the country, it is necessary to supply the northern Xinjiang with all its might, and it is not much that Daning's original treasury is saved, for Daning, this is the best pre-war preparation, and the one who plays the biggest role is naturally the sailor.

At the court meeting before the start of the winter hunt, His Majesty suddenly issued an order to dismiss Pei Tingshan, the general of Eastern Xinjiang, from all military positions, retain the title, and order Pei Tingshan to go to Beijing immediately.

As soon as this news came out, the people of the entire Chang'an City were blown up in one day.

Everyone knows that it won't be long before the whole of Daning will explode wherever the news goes.

Among the five major generals, the most important thing for the emperor is Pei Tingshan, if it weren't for Pei Tingshan who led 9,000 sword soldiers from the east of Xinjiang to Chang'an day and night, Li Chengtang may not be able to become the emperor of Daning, more than 20 years later, this general known as the emperor shield was actually deposed before the Northern Expedition, which is inevitably embarrassing and more worrying.

The courtiers have come out to ask His Majesty to take back his order, but the emperor seems to be iron-hearted, no matter who says it, he doesn't care, Lu Congwu, the president of the academy, and Shi Yuanxiong, the president of the martial arts academy, the two old ministers persuaded hard, but they were driven out of the Taiji Hall by His Majesty, and ordered the two old ministers to go home to reflect, and the winter hunt did not have to participate.

Before everyone could calm down, His Majesty's second will was issued...... His Majesty thought about Yuan Toshiba and allowed him to resign, and from now on, Lai Cheng will take over the down payment of the cabinet and reorganize the cabinet within three months, and Lai Cheng will submit a new list of cabinet members.

These two news shook the court.

Pei Tingshan, the general of the sword soldiers in Dongjiang, has the merit of supporting the master, turning the tide from the dragon companion, Yuan Dongzhi, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet after Mu Zhaotong, conscientious and tireless, these two people left the court at the same time, and the pattern changed greatly.

If Yuan Toshiba's departure is still expected by everyone, then Pei Tingshan's matter is really beyond everyone's expectations, Yuan Toshiba's departure from the cabinet has obvious signs, after all, a few months ago, Lai Chengcheng has temporarily taken over the position of the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, Yuan Toshiba has gradually faded out - in front of the stage, his most proud protégé Kang was transferred to Pingyue Road by His Majesty, which is paving the way for Lai Cheng, so the courtiers can still understand, but Pei Tingshan's affairs are all civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty can not be accepted immediately, before the Northern Expedition, remove Pei Tingshan, But not mentioning who is the successor of the general of the sword soldiers in Eastern Xinjiang, this will be a big mess.

However, His Majesty rarely did not accept anyone's dissuasion, and shouted to retreat from the dynasty on behalf of Fangzhou, and the emperor immediately left the Taiji Hall and returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Half an hour later, the courtiers who knelt in the cold wind outside the Dongnuan Pavilion, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were there, kneeling outside the Dongnuan Pavilion and asking the emperor to think twice, but the emperor closed the door and let those adults kneel there, and half an hour later, the prince hurried from the East Palace to persuade the Manchu civil and military to leave, but there were still many courtiers kneeling outside and refusing to leave.

The forbidden army camp, the backyard small school field.

Shen Leng stood with a knife in his hand, and looked at the smiling general of the forbidden army in front of him: "General, I haven't asked for advice for a long time." ”

Yuan Shu said: "It seems that you seem to be confident. ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "If I win, the general will invite me to drink, and if I lose, the general will also invite me to drink." ”

Yuan Shu smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because I'm shameless."

“......”

Yuan Shu laughed: "Okay, no matter if you win or lose, I invited you for this meal today." ”

The long lance in his hand pointed at Shen Leng, Shen Leng swung his knife away, the two of them fought in the small school field, a little farther away, the forbidden army general Yutai Caoye looked at the two people a little nervously, the more he looked, the more frightened, about two or three years ago, when General Shen Leng and the general competed, he was also present several times, and he had seen General Shen Leng's martial arts, although he could be called the leader among the young generals, but there was no chance of winning under the general's long lance.

Two or three years later, Shen Leng's knife skills have reached a terrifying height, not to mention that the general of Shantai still let him, even if he goes all out, he can't easily win, those two people are inseparable from each other in the small school field, the long lance is like a dragon and the horizontal knife is like a rainbow, the more he looks at it, the more admiration rises in his heart, a few years ago, he felt that between Shen Leng and his own equal, a few years later, he was sure that he was no longer Shen Leng's opponent.

The two of them fought for nearly half an hour and still didn't win or lose, and Tantai Caoye had to step forward to persuade him to stop, it seemed that Shen Leng was still slightly behind, but Shantai Caoye knew very well that if he continued to fight, Shen Leng would turn the situation around within half a pillar of incense...... The general is no longer young, and his strength is not as good as Shen Leng, for Yuan Shu, this kind of strength is almost the limit for half an hour.

"Amazing, amazing."

Yuan Shu threw the lance to the grass field, took the towel handed to him by the soldiers and wiped his sweat: "I lost." ”

Three words, full of bearing.

Shen Leng shook his head: "Or I lost." ”

Yuan Shu sighed: "I have to obey the old man, if I am as old as you, I should have lost to you, if I am about thirty-five years old, you are not my opponent, now, I have no chance to win you again." ”

Shen Leng said: "The general is too modest, if you can't beat me at the age of thirty-five." ”

Yuan Shu laughed: "Let's go, where you say to drink, I'll invite you to drink there." ”

"As long as the general has wine, I'll go pack up a few dishes and come out."

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay!" ”

Less than an hour later, the wine and food were already placed in Yuan Shu's room, Yuan Shu took a shower and changed his clothes, sat on a chair and waited for Shen Leng while reading a book, Shen Leng entered the door with the last dish and wiped his hands on his apron: "It's time to eat." ”

Yuan Shu quietly swallowed the dish he had just eaten in his mouth, with a calm face.

"You won't come to me for no reason to drink."

Yuan Shu of Shantai personally filled a glass of wine for Shen Leng, and wanted to pour wine for Shantai Caoye, Yutai Caoye hurriedly stood up and took the wine jug, poured it for Yuan Shu of Shantai first, and then filled a glass for himself, and sat on the side like a child.

"Your Majesty talked to me yesterday about something."

Shen Leng looked at the wine in the cup: "Others don't know Your Majesty's plans, but you must know it, General." ”

Yuan Shu looked at Shen Leng's eyes, thinking about how His Majesty could say this to Shen Leng in advance? His Majesty's plan, from beginning to end, including His Majesty himself, only four people knew about it, one was him, one was the old dean Lu Congwu, and the other was the old general Su Mao, and even the cabinet university scholar Lai Cheng did not know.

This plan was carefully studied and designed by the four of them, and His Majesty meant that he could not leak this plan to anyone until he was in Northern Xinjiang, but now it seems that His Majesty has made it very clear to Shen Leng.

"What are you worried about?"

Yuan Shu asked.

"Worried about Your Majesty."

Shen Leng glanced at the Shantai Caoye, and then looked at the general, and the general said to the Shantai Caoye: "I have important military affairs to discuss with General Shen, you can go back first." ”

Kusano immediately stood up, bowed, and then exited the room.

Shen Leng had to admire Yuan Shu in his heart, it seemed that His Majesty's plan, he didn't say a word about the grass and the field.

"Worried about Your Majesty?"

Yuan Shu smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't doubt General Shen's ability to lead troops, why, General Shen doesn't believe in himself?" ”

"Two different things, General."

Shen Leng sighed: "If Your Majesty goes to Hanhai City, then the nervous thing is that General Wu Xinyu is not me, Your Majesty is on my side, and I really can't let go of my hands and feet." ”

Yuan Shu laughed: "It turns out that you are looking for me, you want me to beg Your Majesty not to go to your side, do you want Your Majesty to go to Hanhai City instead of Xifengkou, you came to beg me for help without saying it directly, and you want to rub me with a drink?" ”

Shen Leng: "I didn't deliberately make six dishes and one soup to show my sincerity. ”

Yuan Shu of Tangtai: "Use the things in my kitchen to show sincerity, no matter how you look at it, sincerity is insufficient, don't have illusions, Your Majesty has made up his mind, who can persuade him?" Don't say it's me, and the old dean can't persuade me. ”

Shen Leng looked earnest: "The general try, how do you know if you don't try?" You always have to work hard to ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside, and His Majesty the Emperor stepped into the door and looked at the two people: "The purpose of bribing the general of the forbidden army around me behind my back is to keep me away from you, Shen Leng, are you not small?" ”

The grass field guarding the door looked innocent, and the meaning of that expression was that Your Majesty didn't let me say that I still dare to shout that Your Majesty is coming?

Shen Lengna was embarrassed, got up and bowed: "This is the first time, I guarantee that it is the first time......"

The emperor snorted: "The first time I was caught by me?" ”

He pulled a stool and sat down: "If it weren't for the fact that Dongnuan Pavilion was really irritable, I wouldn't have come to the platform to hide and be clean, if I didn't come, I wouldn't know that you were doing this kind of thing behind my back!" ”

Yuan Shu looked at Shen Leng with a smile: "This person has ill intentions and tries to buy the ministers with six dishes and one soup. ”

The emperor glanced at him: "Did he succeed in buying?" ”

Yuan Shu lowered his head and said: "The minister has kept his heart...... Two more dishes would be enough. ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and took the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, and glared at Shen Leng: "I know that after I told you yesterday, you will inevitably come to see Yutai, you tell me, what else do you have to worry about besides cowardice?" Do you think you're incompetent, or do you think my plan isn't sound? ”

Shen Leng lowered his head and said seriously: "No, it's really just Chen Chun's cowardice." ”

He added: "The cowardice of pure blood, without a trace of impurities." ”

"Fart!"

The emperor cursed.

Shen Lengxin said, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became excited, why is this?
