"And then ... Hurry up ... Ah. King Chu shouted regretfully.

The king of Chu rode on a horse wearing a green ** oblique narrow sleeve robe, stepping on brown ** cloud shoes, wearing a light **** head, holding a crescent-shaped ball and playing polo with more than ten people.

Polo this activity in the late Han Dynasty has been from the Western Regions into the Central Plains, to the Tang Dynasty before it became popular in the world, Tang Xuanzong is said to be a master of this field, in the Tianbao years, he specially issued a holy decree to polo as one of the subjects of military training. This polo is also good for the exercise of horsemanship, and Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, also likes this sport very much, and today he is with some young people of the Ma clan in the >

Just when the king of Chu was having a good time, several horses galloped outside the polo field. Immediately sat down turned out to be several important generals of the internal army, Ma Xiguang, Ma Xichong, Liu Yantao, Liu Quanming, Peng Shigao, these people saw that the King of Chu was playing, and they didn't dare to disturb abruptly, turned over and dismounted one by one, handed the reins to the small servant next to him, and the big eunuch Liu Yan standing on the sidelines, said hello, and came to the side of the viewing tower together.

The king of Chu personally went down to the competition, these people naturally did not dare to sit upstairs, drink tea and chat, and they all looked at the highlights by the railing, and couldn't help cheering loudly when they saw the mistakes, but they didn't dare to scold the "stinky ball" and ask for a refund, but they sighed and stumbled. Is it really?*Roasted mold? br/>

After a game, the king of Chu asked people to replace themselves. Liu Yan, who got off the horse, brought him warm tea and praised him: "Your skills, your skills are really first-class, your king." Fighting with these 2o guys still has the upper hand. ”

The king of Chu laughed, quite proud in his heart.

Ma Xiguang and the others hurried over when they saw the end of the King of Chu, and they couldn't stop complimenting.

The king of Chu knew that there must be something important for these people to come together, and the tenth ** was because of Ma Guangliang's army. The king of Chu said with a smile: "It's rare for you>×?"

Seeing that the king of Chu said this, these people, especially Liu Yantao, and these foreign ministers were very warm in their hearts, and hurriedly thanked them. The king of Chu easily did not invite his ministers to dinner, it seems that the king of Chu still trusts a few of them, and it is not as rumored that the king of Chu wants to pass it on to the second prince, afraid that the generals in the army will be unruly and difficult to control, so he deliberately let the second prince take the opportunity to establish prestige in the army.

Although the King of Chu said so, several of them didn't dare to really get off the field to exercise, so they had to go back to the viewing building, at this time, the King of Chu was not there, of course they would not pretend to be the audience anymore, and they found a place to sit and drink tea and chat, but everyone had something in their hearts, and everyone was absent-minded, and the whole topic was not salty, not light, pure and time.

After a long time, the king of Chu came out of the bathroom and changed into a dragon python robe and tied a jade belt. Staggered up to the viewing building, and when these people saw it, they quickly stood up and knelt down to salute. The king of Chu waved his hand indifferently to signal them to get up, and walked to the front of the building alone, leaning on the railing, watching the polo game with relish.

These people looked at each other and lowered their heads to wait for their leading brother Ma Xiguang to speak. Ma Xiguang secretly glanced at the King of Chu, and saw that the King of Chu was squinting and looking attentively** as usual, but he couldn't guess what his mood was. He was also hesitant for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Just as he was hesitating, the King of Chu shouted, "It's good to fight." Saying that, he turned to this Ma Xiguang and said: "The fifth man didn't see that the ball just now was really good... Hehe, this child belongs to the second uncle's family. Not bad. ”

Ma Xiguang and the others had no choice but to echo and follow the king of Chu to watch the ball.

After a while, the King of Chu asked as if he suddenly remembered, "Old Five, why did you suddenly come here to find me?" Is there something big going on in the army? ”

Seeing that the King of Chu took the initiative to ask, Ma Xiguang seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly said, "This... In fact, it is not a big deal, and the ministers and brothers also strongly support the whole army. Our internal army hasn't fought much in the past ten years, but it's time to reorganize and straighten out, lest it be in the future... Well, a few days ago, Liang'er began to reorganize the army, which is full of energy, and it is also a ** heart for the country and the army, young people have momentum, and it is a good thing to have ** energy. ”

Ma Xiguang said while looking at the god of the king of Chu**, he saw that the king of Chu was not unusual, so he continued: "But Liang'er has never pawned the army, nor has he led soldiers. He has a good heart for the whole army, but the pace is too fast, and the whole army has been complaining up and down for half a month. The younger brother is the left general of Tiance Mansion. I can't help but report this to the king. As he spoke, Ma Xiguang fell to his knees.

"Oh... The king of Chu helped Ma Xiguang up, stopped watching the ball, and went straight back to the chair behind him to sit and beckoned the other generals to follow before he said with a smile: "You must have come here today for this matter." Hehe. Let's talk about how Liang'er did it. You are all uncles, don't hide it from him, and say anything. ”

"The king wants to say that the military ministers are all in favor of this rectification. Just like what the fifth master said just now, our internal army has not fought for a long time, and if this soldier who has never been on the battlefield wants to say how elite he is, no matter how he says, he will have to discount. This whole army is right, but the second prince has done some... Although we soldiers said that we would order and prohibit it, it also depends on what the order is, just a few days ago, the second prince went to the camp and directly took permission to take the command of the Qiong army's forward guard, Li Lin. Lord Wang, do you remember this Li Lin? That's a veteran of our Jingjiang Army, when he was in Guizhou, he fought bravely, fearless of death, and was promoted to the battalion, and he was promoted to the commander of the guard in Changsha twelve years ago. He has always obeyed orders and been loyal. As a result, the second prince went to the barracks and took him. Liu Quanming was the first to charge, he was fatter, the corners of his mouth moved, his eyebrows and beard shook and he looked very emotional.

The King of Chu obviously knew about this Li Lin, and he asked in surprise: "What did Li Lin do and be taken?" ”

"Oh, my lord, it's a good thing to talk about. It can't be said that the second prince is too strict, and it can't be said that Li Lin doesn't respect orders. He is like this, five days ago, the second prince rectified the food and salary of the Qiong army, and then began to rectify the military discipline, this Xu army has a total of ten guards, each guard thousand people, of which nine guards are stationed near the left. Only Li Lin's guard was stationed in the mountain, and when the second prince ordered the parade, Li Lin got up and rushed back early, but no one expected that the rain the day before would actually wash away the official bridge out of the mountain, Li Lin hesitated for a moment before ordering the water to cross the river, and the result was over in 1 quarter of an hour. The second prince detained Li Lin because of the thunder, beat Li Lin with a 3o military stick, and became the partner of the Qiong Zhongjun in the end. Your Majesty, Li Lin is not wronged in this matter. Saying that, Liu Quanming actually shed tears, paused and continued: "King, this Li Lin fought in Guizhou for 1o years before he was promoted to command, and this natural disaster is all gone. Yesterday, he secretly ran to my house when he took advantage of the time he entered Changsha to procure, and he didn't complain about the second prince, but complained about his bad life. He was beaten with a 3o military stick, and after only one day of cultivation, he had to get up to cook and procure, watching him struggle to carry grain and vegetables to the wagon. The king and the old minister feel uncomfortable. ”

The face of the king of Chu was also difficult to see all of a sudden, and his majesty was more lenient and treated the generals in the army quite generously. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but this Li Lin is an old man he uses, so he should not be punished for his loyalty.

Seeing that the king of Chu was quite unbearable, the remaining few people also hurriedly jumped out and gave examples one after another. Since Qiong was allowed to take charge of the army, Ma Xiguang has relented a lot, and Qiong has stayed for more than half a year and has not caught any handle from those people, of course, he can't tell which people are Ma Xiguang's faction. Since there is Zhou Tingzhi's account book, Qiong has been targeted, but those people have also been warned, and they are also carrying their tails between them. The empty amount of food was slowly replenished.

By the time Ma Guangliang was in charge of the army, there were Ma Xiguang, who did not cooperate, and often summoned Xu Qiong and other senior officers; There is an officer below, and he can't find out anything.

He has been in charge of the army for more than ten days, and there has been no progress, knowing that Li Gao gave him an idea, starting with military discipline, and reorganizing the army. So there was Li Lin's bad luck. After Li Lin fell off the horse, the Qiong army shook Ma Guangliang, and he found out a few officers who were eating empty salaries. All of them are the officers of the same class of teams, and there are only three with the most empty salaries. But Ma Guangliang used the question to wave the team and eat empty salaries, and the responsibility was actually investigated layer by layer, as long as there is a name on the account book, whether he is the battalion leader or the commander of the guard, and Ma Xiguang will not be able to sit still. A few people came together to meet him.

The king of Chu hesitated about the candidate for the succession to the throne for more than ten years, and now he finally has some ideas, so let's pass it on to his sons. That's why he began to support Ma Guangliang to rectify the internal army and slowly establish his son's prestige. He had this idea, but he couldn't help his younger brothers, a few henchmen, and old ministers knelt at their feet, crying bitterly, accusing Ma Guangliang of going too far.

Even in the 21st century, there are still favors outside the law. Not to mention the time of the five generations, Ma Guangliang's thing seems to be reasonable, but it is flawed everywhere and unreasonable. Li Lin's punishment was too severe. Not to mention that the team is making a mistake and implicating the commander of the guard.

For a while, the King of Chu hesitated.
