The most important thing in the military competition is naturally the ranking.

The world of Daning is so big, every day and every place have wonderful stories happening, and the most eye-catching thing in Chang'an City is the big competition of the armies, the young talents of the guards and soldiers from all over the world gather in one place, as bright as the stars in the sky, and the people talk about these things after dinner, as if they have seen it with their own eyes, and their eyebrows are dancing.

The big competition is not over yet, but the queue has abounded, some of the people stand cold, some people stand to talk about Linghu, and some people stand Tang said, it is said that the handicap of the underground casino is very large.

Combining all the results, Shen Leng temporarily ranked first, but the gap between the people behind him and him was not very large, and there was another person who was equivalent to his cumulative score, this person was the most low-key of many famous young people, but it was also the one that could not be underestimated, his name was Tang Shuo.

The reason why Shen Leng performed such a dazzling score but didn't open up a lot was because he gave up one, although it was only a small item, but everyone was already equal in strength, and the score of this small item was not allowed, and the people behind him caught up.

There are two tied for the first place, and there are three tied for the second, for Tan Linghu, Lu Qinglin, and Bai Nian.

The third is Xu Wunian, the fourth is Duan Mei, and the fifth is the two people who are tied, Peng Shusha and Zhang Hualin.

And even Shen Leng and Tang Shuo, who are ranked first, the gap with the fifth place is not much, and it is not yet known who of these people will finally win the first place in the competition of all armies.

The general Shi Yuanxiong was a little happy, he was a little disheartened when he was recalled to Chang'an, but at this time, he suddenly woke up to something...... He is the chief judge, and after the big competition, these young people will come to visit him, even if he is not a worshipper, he can mention later, his reputation will naturally rise to a higher level.

Your Majesty, this is a change of law to add a point of glory to him.

East Warm Pavilion.

Shi Yuanxiong sat on the chair and waited for the emperor to ask, tomorrow is the last stage of the battle between the armies, these young people will draw lots to win and lose, and His Majesty will also be there in person at that time, and there can be no mistakes at this time.

"Don said that the performance was amazing?"

The emperor asked as he reviewed the recital.

"Yes."

Shi Yuanxiong said: "And...... He also discarded one. ”

"Oh?"

The pen in the emperor's hand paused: "Deliberately? ”

"Yes."

Shi Yuanxiong said: "Obviously deliberate, young people's desire to win and lose will always be stronger, Shen Leng gave up one, he also gave up one, the total score is the same, it depends on who is better in the next competition." ”

The emperor snorted: "The Tang family has never lacked admirable young people. ”

More than ten years ago, the name of Tang Baobao, who attracted people's laughter but was terrifying, shocked the entire military competition arena, although it seemed a little bland and low-key later, but no one has forgotten this person, even among the sailors, Zhuang Yong's attitude towards Tang Baobao is also a little respectful, he just has a too casual personality and is not willing to be in the limelight, when he wants to be in the limelight, there are not many people who can block his light.

Eight or nine years ago, a man named Tang Tuo was born, although he did not participate in the competition of the armies, but when the Ning army went south, he could make Shi Podang, the son of the general Shi Yuanxiong, overshadowed.

Six or seven years ago, a young man named Tang Xin came out of the Tang family, and now he is the head of the Eight Sword Generals in Eastern Xinjiang.

Five years ago, the first female general appeared in Daning, whose name was Tang Yue, and now although she is not ranked among the top three and the third in northern Xinjiang, but that is just her unwillingness, Wu Xinyu once commented that if you simply try to fight one-on-one, he and Tang Yue are afraid that they will not be able to tell the winner, if they fight for life and death, they may both die in the end.

Tang Yue's reaction to this evaluation was...... Bah.

This year's military competition, this little-known Tang said that people have to be impressed, everyone knows that the Tang family is amazing, but after thinking about it, I realized how great it is, and it is terrifying.

"Which of the two of them do you think is stronger?"

The Emperor asked again.

Shi Yuanxiong lowered his head: "In fact, within the top ten, the gap between these young people is not big, from the current point of view, Shen Leng and Tang said that they have entered the top ten generals are already very stable, as for the ranking...... If the two of them are not careful, they will be overtaken by the people behind them. ”

"You're still so tactful."

The emperor glanced at Shi Yuanxiong: "I just asked you for your personal opinion. ”

Shi Yuanxiong: "The minister thinks that Tang is stronger...... At first, no one thought that this Tang was a talent for the championship, because he was too low-key and too introverted, and it was not until later that people found out that he was full marks almost everywhere, and the Tang family's family education was really admirable. ”

"Calm?"

The emperor sighed: "The people of the Tang family are too good at being people...... Every time the armies compete or every big battle, there will be young people in the Tang family who come out to make people look at themselves, but in a few years, these once dazzling young people will become unknown, do you know why? ”

Without waiting for Shi Yuanxiong to answer, the emperor continued: "The people of the Tang family have always been cautious, lest the imperial court forget them, and lest the edge be too exposed, so they were immediately suppressed by their own family after becoming famous. ”

Shi Yuanxiong's heart was shocked, His Majesty's evaluation of the Tang family was indeed not very good.

But this is inevitable, the Tang family is the most prominent one among the founding feats, for so many years, they have always been worried about being suppressed, so they have been pressing themselves everywhere, Daning has been founding for hundreds of years, the Tang family has never had any worrying people worrying about things, and the self-control is terrible and people can't believe it.

"Let's go back."

The emperor seemed to have lost his interest in talking: "When will the people of the Tang family understand that I have never been suspicious, it is they themselves who have always been suspicious." ”

Shi Yuanxiong hurriedly got up: "The minister retreats." ”

"That's right."

The emperor raised his head: "There is something I forgot to say, in the naval battle of Southern Xinjiang, your son Shi Podang made new contributions, which is very remarkable." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shi Yuanxiong suddenly became happy, His Majesty still cares about him, cares about Shi Podang, isn't this enough?

"It's already four grades, right?"

The emperor said: "After this naval battle in southern Xinjiang, how about transferring him to be a soldier general of the first guard?" ”

Shi Yuanxiong hurriedly lowered his head: "Your Majesty just orders, the father and son of the Shi family will always go to the soup for Your Majesty." ”

"Then that's for now."

The soldier general of the first guard, is the third product!

Shi Yuanxiong was in a good mood and almost wanted to shout out, after holding back his grievances in Chang'an City for so long, he finally felt some happiness that the clouds had cleared.

But not long after going out, Shi Yuanxiong suddenly reacted...... His Majesty transferred his son Shi Podang to leave the southern frontier, and he was in the capital again, the position of the wolf ape general......

But after thinking about it, if he stays in Chang'an City and accompanies the king every day, even if he doesn't have the general of Southern Xinjiang, his son will have a future in the future, and it is only those few people who can take over him, Ye Kaitai is already a very popular minister in Pingyue Daofu, if nothing else, it will be Ye Jingtian who will succeed him as the general, Ye Jingtian has been leading troops among wolf apes all these years, and his prestige is higher than that of his son Shi Podang, Your Majesty has been preparing for a long time, but he didn't notice it before.

Ye Jingtian can be a man, he is introverted and humble when he fights the wolf ape, he respects himself very much, and he is also very helpful to Shi Podang, not to fight or to rob but to convince the soldiers, if he comes to take over as the general of Southern Xinjiang, not only is no one up and down the wolf ape unconvinced, but his own son is convinced...... Your Majesty's move is really clever.

Shi Yuanxiong thought that Ye Jingtian was already over forty years old, if Shi Podang had no ups and downs in the next ten years, it would not be difficult to return to Southern Xinjiang in the future to receive the Southern Xinjiang Shuai Yin from Ye Jingtian's hands, Your Majesty is using the gentlest and most appropriate way to settle him and his son.

Very good.

Shi Yuanxiong laughed, this time he was really completely relieved.

He had close contacts with the queen's family back then, although he had made many military exploits in southern Xinjiang, but his heart had not been steady, he was worried that the mistakes he made back then would affect his son Shi Podang, and now it seems that His Majesty really never moved his thoughts, and it is normal for the wolf ape general to replace the old and the new, not against him.

His son Shi Podang was thirty years old when he returned from southern Xinjiang, and ten years later, he was a three-grade soldier general for ten years, only forty years old, and his prestige was enough.

I don't know why, Shi Yuanxiong laughed and cried.

He stopped, turned around, knelt down in the direction of the East Warm Pavilion of the Baoji Palace, and bowed solemnly.

"Your Majesty, thank you."

Dongnuan Pavilion, the emperor glanced out, and just saw Shi Yuanxiong kneeling towards this side, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, thinking that his own person is his own person after all, and he doesn't need to say anything, he can understand.

He turned to look at Dai Fangzhou: "Mu Zhaotong, a scholar from the Cabinet University, came in and invited the old dean." ”

Not long after, two old men who played a pivotal role in the court arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion one after another.

"I have something to discuss with you."

The emperor put down the pen in his hand: "Shi Yuanxiong's son Shi Po rarely made great achievements in the war, I thought, even the mountain road soldier general Yue is already sixty years old, it's time for him to go home to recuperate, half a life to fight, there is always a time to rest, I just received the good news from Zhuang Yong, the whole territory of the country has been fully controlled, the army and the people's hearts have been stable, the offensive against the people is flourishing, no accident, there will be greater good news coming before the year, Yue knows that after returning from southern Xinjiang, he will come directly to Chang'an. ”

"The minister has no objections."

The old dean bowed his head.

Mu Zhaotong also nodded: "The minister has no objections." ”

The emperor snorted: "Then the cabinet will draw up the decree, Shi Po should be the general of the three-grade soldiers of Lianshan Daozheng, and Yue will know that he will return to Beijing to report on his work, add a first-class marquis, and the hereditary replacement, so let's do it after the New Year." ”

"Yes."

Mu Zhaotong lowered his head: "The minister will draft the decree when he goes back." ”

The emperor snorted: "In addition, I decided on one more thing, I originally planned to go to southern Xinjiang to have a look, but the journey was too far to mobilize the people, and it would take a year to go back and forth, and it would be painful and laborious and ruined, so I would not go, in March next year, I will go to Eastern Xinjiang for a walk, you go and discuss with the people of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry how to do this, and send someone to Pei Tingshan in advance to send a letter to him, and ask him to wait for me, March...... I went to the east to see the sea and see him. ”

Mu Zhaotong's eyes were in a trance.

"Obey."

......
