Sun Chengzong has been a little uncomfortable in the past few months, not because he is sick, but because he is very uncomfortable. From the day the Apocalypse appointed him to preside over the daily affairs of the Military Affairs Yuan, he was determined to show all his skills, so that everyone from the emperor to the ministers could see that his grandson had two hits. What made him very unhappy was that there was a Wang Zaijin sitting next to him, and the two had a personal grudge a few years ago over whether to repair the Balipu or not, which was originally a trivial matter, but first, Sun Chengzong kicked Wang Zaijin to Nanjing through the back door, which was very unconvincing, and secondly, Wang Zaijin's mind was not very broad-minded, so now Wang Zaijin is always looking at all Sun Chengzong's opinions with a faulty attitude. It's like when a person is dancing and exerting his momentum, and someone next to you will either say that you have a green leaf on your teeth, or say that your crotch is open when you laugh, no one will be very comfortable. He didn't just make a big noise against him, he just sneered twice for a while and insinuated and ridiculed a few words, which was annoying. Sun Chengzong thought about it carefully, Wang Zaijin was a little higher than himself in terms of specific grassroots experience, theoretically he was a big cut higher than Wang Zaijin, and in terms of relationship with the emperor, he had to throw out Wang Zaijin a few streets, and when he obviously had an advantage, Wang Zaijin was still so ignorant of current affairs, which showed that he had nothing to do but wanted to vent his anger a few years ago. And it is this kind of emotional venting that is not just a matter of things makes Sun Chengzong speechless, just like a mosquito and fly in the summer, you guard against him and he doesn't come, when you are not prepared, he stabs you twice or hums a few times in the key place, which is really annoying, so Sun Chengzong decided to change the working environment and let Wang Zaijin be honest.

That afternoon, when everyone was packing up and preparing to go home, Sun Chengzong asked Ni Yuanlu to call him over, and Ni Yuanlu heard that Sun Chengzong was looking for him, so he hurriedly came to Sun Chengzong's room and asked, "What is the matter with my teacher?" ”

Ni Yuanlu is a jinshi in the second year of the apocalypse, and there are two examiners when he takes the jinshi exam, one is called Yuan Keli and the other is Sun Chengzong, so this teacher is real. Sun Chengzong glanced at him and said: "The first thing, the emperor said that if you make a meritorious service now, you will be rewarded immediately, every good suggestion you have made in the past two months has been recorded, and you should be rewarded with two months' worth of money now, take this slip and go to the internal guard at the door to withdraw it." ”

Ni Yuanlu took the note with a smile and said, "Thank you, teacher, the student is a little tight on hand, this is a charcoal in the snow." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "This is what you deserve, and you have to work hard in the future." The second thing is to go home and think about how to make the army win the offensive battle, which is also the responsibility of your military staff, and come up with a good way The emperor will not treat you badly. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Students have been thinking about this problem, but they don't have a clue, and they will work hard when they go home." ”

Sun Chengzong nodded, his expression changed, and he whispered: "This third thing is both a business and a private matter, before you talk about it, you can tell me what you think of Wang Zaijin." ”

Ni Yuanlu also heard about the grievances between Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin, he thought about it and said: "Lord Wang has rich experience and is worth learning from our juniors, but his temper is a little not very good. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "You can see it very accurately, to be honest, Lord Wang has a knot with his teacher, and he always does things with emotions, which will affect the unity of the Military Affairs Yuan, which is not good." ”

Ni Yuanlu asked, "What does the teacher want the students to do?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Being a teacher is not about what to do with him, you have a lot of ideas in your brain, just find a way to make him restrain a little, is there a problem?" ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "If this is a private matter, then the teacher's business is the student's business; If this is a business matter, students are even more obliged. ”

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Very good, you will go out after you finish burning these papers, I wish you success immediately." After speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper full of words and gave them to Ni Yuanlu.

Ni Yuanlu burned the paper after reading it carefully, and then said goodbye.

Watching Ni Yuanlu leave the Military Affairs Academy, Sun Chengzong stretched his waist and prepared to go home, and when he came to the gate of the palace and was about to get on the sedan chair, the steward next to him reported: "Master, Lord Yongguang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is waiting for you in front, he said that he wants to visit you tonight but I don't know if you are free." ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "You tell Lord Wang that the official will go home first and sweep the steps to greet him." ”

At night, Ni Yuanlu lay on the couch in the study at home with his eyes closed and pondered, Sun Chengzong told him to find a way to make Wang Zaijin be honest, which is a bit difficult. Wang Zaijin is a second-grade member and he himself is a seventh-grade member, if you want to persuade with your mouth, you may not be able to enter the door, and the idea of finding two people to beat him seems unrealistic, buy something and offer it and then kneel on the ground to beg him? Estimated only to get worse. Thinking about it and thinking about it, he couldn't think of what to do, and then his wife Wang came in and asked him: "Xianggong, you have been lying down for an hour or two after eating, is there anything to worry about?" ”

Wang's is his wife is no longer married to fill the house, this year is only nineteen years younger than him thirteen years old, although it is a small family from a lively and generous and neat work, Ni Yuanlu treats her as a wife and a daughter very much. Hearing his wife ask, Ni Yuanlu replied: "You don't understand what your wife said." ”

Wang came over and sat beside him and said, "How do you know that I don't understand if you don't say it?" My father often said that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, maybe you have entered a dead end? ”

When Ni Yuanlu heard this, he felt that it made sense, sat up, put one hand around Wang's waist, stretched out the other hand, scraped Wang's nose with his fingers, and said, "Okay, tell me what if a person usually does things very flamboyantly and wants him to be honest?" ”

Wang pushed away Ni Yuanlu's hand that was scraping his nose and said, "This is simple, just let him make a fool of himself in public." ”

Ni Yuanlu nodded and said, "That's a good point, but how to make a person ugly?" ”

Wang said: "I don't know about this, I said that you don't boast that you think about military affairs every day?" How can you use these crooked brains all day long? ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "The major military affairs have been moved during the day, and I will use my crooked brain at night. He turned around and took out a money bag from under the pillow and put it in Wang's hand and said, "Look, this is another reward for thinking about military affairs, how do you like it?" ”

Wang opened it and said happily: "There are more than a dozen taels enough for you to pay for two months, Xianggong, you are really amazing." Then wouldn't it be good for you to think more about military affairs and earn a few hundred taels? ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "I can't move, didn't you say that you are amazing?" Think about how to defeat the Jurchens. ”

Wang said with a smile: "Xianggong, you can't ask others, you are asking the right person." ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "How can you ask the right question?" Have a god given you a dream? ”

Wang said, "Xianggong, have you forgotten what my father did?" ”

Ni Yuanlu rolled her eyes and said, "I married you and I don't know what my father-in-law does?" Isn't it just storytelling? If his old man is a pig killer, I still kind of believe that your family has ancestral martial arts, and he can secretly go to Liaodong in the middle of the night to slaughter all the Jurchens. ”

Wang said: "My father is not a dirty person who kills pigs, my father is a storyteller who earns clean money." ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "You can only rely on opening your mouth to tell stories, so has anyone in your family ever been a monk?" Can my father-in-law go and say that the Jurchens put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas? ”

Wang said: "Xianggong, don't be entangled, I said that my father knows because I listened to my father practicing at home every morning when I was a child, and at that time he was talking about the story of Yue Feiyue's grandfather." ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Oh, your father can't kill pigs, can't chant scriptures, he can invite God, can his old man invite Grandpa Yue to Daming to fight the Jurchens?" ”

Wang said: "Xianggong, why do you keep raising the bar with me tonight?" In that book, it was said that Grandpa Yue was fighting Jin soldiers, didn't this Jurchen person say that they were Hou Jin? The way to beat their ancestors will definitely be able to beat them to pieces. ”

Ni Yuanlu asked: "Is there the art of war or martial arts left by Grandpa Yue in the book that my father-in-law said?" ”

Wang said: "I don't know this, I only heard my father say that the eight sledgehammers made trouble in Zhuxian Town, I think those eight sledgehammers can beat the Jin soldiers to flee in all directions, if the Ming Dynasty made him eighteen or eighty sledgehammers and didn't destroy all the descendants of the Jin soldiers?" ”
