The people who live in Jingshi look at Zhongshan Mountain, and look at the clouds and mist, and the mountains towering like fairy mountains, they are fascinated by it, and they always want to climb the mountain in person.

Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru were no exception, after they made an appointment, they climbed Zhongshan on the occasion of the tententh holiday.

"Whew, swoop......" When Fang Xiaoru bent down and climbed up, his breathing was like pulling a bellows, and his hands were pressed on the ground, as if he had climbed up, and he finally straightened up.

Xu Huizu only gasped for a while, then his expression was indifferent, and he looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile: "Dr. Fang's physical strength is not good!" ”

Fang Xiaoru waved his hand, almost sitting down. He glanced at Xu Huizu, and when he saw Xu Huizu standing there with his tall body standing there as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

After Fang Xiaoru rested for a while, he stood on a high place and looked at the whole city of Jingshi, and his face gradually showed a happy expression.

Xu Huizu saw it in his eyes and said with a smile, "The fun of mountaineering is here, and you have to climb it yourself to appreciate the state of mind at this time." ”

Fang Xiaoru was still panting, and he didn't want to say more, just nodded in agreement.

Everywhere on the mountainside stood men in green robes, who did not come up, but silently observed the surrounding situation. However, there are not many people who climb the mountain today, not to mention that this is not a road leading to a certain temple, there is nothing bare, and it is even less accessible.

The two of them stood on the top of the mountain, looking down with great interest at the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Xu Huizu said without turning his head: "I heard an anecdote in the countryside a while ago......

Fang Xiaoru said: "Why doesn't Gong Xu say it? ”

Xu Huizu said: "It's about an old rich man in the township, who has accumulated a lifetime of family business, has a solid family background, has children and daughters, and envies others. But once the eldest son wanted to take a concubine and asked the rich man for money, but the rich man refused to give him anything. The eldest son was annoyed, and said to his father, "Sooner or later, you will have to go into the ground, and then you will not be able to do it!" His father was even more annoyed, and scolded: "Don't you want Lao Tzu to die early, you can get the family property quickly......"

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru was also annoyed and scolded: "It's a big rebellion! It's just that people's hearts are not ancient, and such unfilial sons should be caught by the government for questioning! ”

"Dr. Fang, Gong Fang is angry." Xu Huizu glanced at him and felt that it seemed a bit too much to tell Fang Xiaoru and others about this matter, Fang Xiaoru was still a little pedantic and couldn't tolerate this kind of immoral thing.

Xu Huizu hurriedly persuaded: "It's just a matter of hearsay, I don't know if it's true or not, why should Fang Gong go up?" If you really take your son to punish the crime, the old rich man is willing to do it? It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs! ”

"Alas......" Fang Xiaoru sighed.

Xu Huizu said quietly: "The old rich man's little family business, what is there to worry about? But...... What would he think if he had the riches of the world, the high position of honor, the authority to control the four directions, and his son could inherit them? ”

Fang Xiaoru was stunned and was silent thoughtfully.

Xu Huizu sighed and said slowly: "Some people will never fight for power and profit only for others. Even if it's a son, you can't think about it too quickly, you have to wait until the father can't take it away, and then you can do it. ”

……

The rain in Beiping has stopped, but the ground is not dry. The sky was still gray, and the clouds obscured the sun, so there was no sunlight at all.

The eaves in the palace of Gaoyang County still have sporadic droplets of water dripping down. Zhu Gaoxu was pacing on the eaves, and he could vaguely hear the "clanging" of metal in the courtyard of the inverted house, and the armor had not been repaired, but he didn't know if it could be repaired before the expedition.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about the incident a few nights ago, Gao Sui originally wanted to make a big fuss about the "secret letter of the prince"; As a result, when he arrived at Yanwang's Mansion, Gao Sui didn't want to say it himself, so he temporarily changed his words...... He's still like that, he always wants his second brother to play as a striker, so that he can hide behind!

However, Gao Sui didn't hide well this time. When Zheng He came to deliver the message that day, Zhu Gaoxu had already said that "the third brother wants to overthrow the world"; Zheng He is King Yan's confidant, how can he not tell King Yan about such an important matter? Gao Sui doesn't want to have a shield in this matter, he also has to bear part of the consequences!

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu also hinted at wooing Zheng He, but Zheng He politely refused with the words that he was only loyal to King Yan...... This person has already seen the battle between the sons of King Yan, and he is unwilling to get involved too early.

In contrast, as soon as Huang Yan had a chance, he instigated the angry son, and the farts were set up early. From this point of view, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Huang Yan's vision and city government were still a little worse than Zheng He.

At this moment, Wang Gui came in from the gatehouse, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxu standing on the eaves, he quickened his pace.

"Lord Wang......" Wang Gui said in a low voice, "The slave maid went to the north gate of the Yan Wangfu every day to keep an eye on it, and she didn't find anything for so many days. How many more people? ”

"Can't!" Zhu Gaoxu refused without hesitation, "This matter is confidential, it is better to be useless than to be rash." ”

"The slave and maid understand." Wang Guidao.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You try it in another place, and then go to Chi Yueguan to take a look." There is no need to rush this matter, I may go on an expedition in the next few days, you stay in Beiping and investigate slowly. ”

Wang Gui clenched his fists and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

After a while, Cao Fu also walked into the gatehouse and said, "Lord Wang, someone from King Yan's Mansion is here, ask Lord Wang Ye to go to the front hall of King Yan Mansion to discuss matters immediately." ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "Urge Zhang Junjiang, the remaining damaged places don't have to be repaired too well, they should be repaired for a while, and then they will be repaired later." When I go out this time, I'm going to wear that armor too, it's strong enough! ”

"Yes, lord."

Zhu Gaoxu called the servants and maids, changed into military uniforms, first wore only a set of chain mail, and went to discuss the matter when they were ready.

He took his entourage and rode all the way to the Yanwang Mansion.

When he was about to arrive at the front hall, Zhu Gaoxu met Zheng He and exchanged a few words. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu thought that the family members who had been empty before had also been killed, so he casually asked, "Is the Jinyi guard who delivered the letter dead?" ”

Zheng He was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "I'm dying, my legs and feet have been gnawed by hungry dogs, my bones are craggy, sprinkled with salt, and I didn't howl this morning." ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and his legs seemed to be very uncomfortable.

The cruelty of King Yan, Zhu Gaoxu knew in his previous life, what to slaughter the ten clans, get into the oil pot, let the soldiers take turns to humiliate other people's families, etc., it seems that there are thousands of stories of slashing palace maids...... However, where did a brocade guard who delivered a letter provoke the anger of King Yan?

"What is MeSign written?" Zhu Gaoxu mustered up his courage, and couldn't help but ask in doubt.

Zheng He shook his head. At this time, seeing two more generals coming this way, Zhu Gaoxu also shut up.

As for the front hall, more than a dozen civil and military officers came one after another, and everyone stood in high and low order. Not long after, King Yan, dressed in military uniform, also came in, sat down on the public seat above, and everyone stepped forward to salute.

King Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu first and said, "This time, I will lead the army to attack Sheng Yong, so Gao Xu doesn't need to go." ”

Gao Xu was stunned for a moment, and was very surprised. Before he went out, he urged the craftsmen to repair the armor quickly, never thinking that he would not have to go on the expedition.

But Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to challenge the authority of King Yan at any time...... Asking vicious dogs to gnaw off other people's lower bodies at every turn, it's so terrible! Zhu Gaoxu felt that he should be glad that he was the son of King Yan.

He didn't think much about it at all, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Erchen obeys!" ”

At this time, the big-mouthed Zhu Neng shouted: "Lord Wang, why don't you let King Gaoyang go?" How fierce the battle is for King Gaoyang! The officers and soldiers are afraid of him, and their morale is also a little weaker when they see the king of Gaoyang. ”

Although Zhu Neng has a big mouth, he can also be regarded as King Yan's henchman, so it should be fine to say a few words.

Then Zhang Yu, who was hairy, also said: "The prince still calls the king of Gaoyang, you see that his armor is all dressed, and it is estimated that he has nothing to do in Beiping." ”

King Yan said in a calm tone: "No need, let Gao Xu rest in Beiping for a while, recruit and train some more soldiers, we have fought in the past two years, and the soldiers have been killed and wounded, and there are fewer and fewer." ”

He paused for a moment and said: "The official army has been defeated twice in succession, and each time the division is lost, the elite is exhausted!" I got the news that Sheng Yong didn't even have decent cavalry. This battle is not as difficult as before, in comparison, it is more important for us to replenish the source of troops, Gao Xu has trained many times, and it is best to do this. ”

Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu were also very interested, and they also bowed after listening: "The prince is wise!" ”

King Yan has always been a combination of grace and power, which is very awe-inspiring, and it is difficult for his subordinates to have the kind of people who die and have to follow their own ideas.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao took two steps forward, looked back and said: "The commander of this battle officer army is Sheng Yong, he was appointed by the imperial court as General Pingyan, and Chen Hui, Ping'an, Ma Pu, Xu Zhen and other generals will be deputies. Tie Xuan has been promoted to the secretary of the military department, and is the military counselor at the front, mainly responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, which was also a military report before leaving.

Yao Guangxiao said again: "Although Sheng Yong is the commander-in-chief, he is not as powerful as Li Jinglong before. In addition, the governor Xu Kai was stationed in Cangzhou, and the baggage of the army was also in Cangzhou, or not subject to Sheng Yong's control. Sheng Yongjun is in Texas, and Xu Kaicheng is in a rivalry. ”

At this time, King Yan spoke: "Xu Kainai is a defeated general under me, and this time we will attack Cangzhou first." After packing up Xu Kai as soon as possible and attacking Texas again, Sheng Yong can't count on reinforcements! Do you have any objections? ”

The generals bowed and said: "Lord Da Xu, the last general will obey the order!" ”

Then everyone had a heated discussion, and they had their own opinions on the generals and the situation of the officers and soldiers this time, which had nothing to do with Zhu Gaoxu, and he would not go this time.

At the end of the show, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, and went out with the generals.

…… When Zhu Gaoxu returned to the house, he immediately took off his chain mail, and suddenly felt like he had nothing to do.

What kind of military training is empty talk, the real place where Yanwangfu can be dispatched, there are only a few mansions in Beiping, what is the source of troops now? Isn't it possible to gather the peasants, issue some weapons, and use them in the army?

He thought about resting at home for a few days, but quickly dismissed the idea. If he treats it negatively, will King Yan feel that he is disgruntled?

Nope! We must treat military training as a serious matter, and we must be motivated, at least every day, and we must take care of this matter every day. It doesn't matter if it's effective or not, the attitude must be correct.
