Halfway through the chess game, Shen Tan sighed, "The eldest husband is alive, when the world is alive, he should use the world as a chessboard, plan and deduce, and calm the chaos and punish the traitors, how can he be depressed for the rest of his life and be oblivious to everyone?" ”

"Fifth Brother Shen didn't drink, why was he drunk?"

"Haha, thinking of the picturesque rivers and mountains is like drinking an old wine." Shen Tan picked up a chess piece casually and put it on the chessboard, "I hit it off with the seventeenth prince at first sight, there are no outsiders here, you might as well talk freely." When today's son is called Supreme, he is actually just a dangerous little official, thinking that with his own cleverness, he can play with the ministers in the palm of his hand. The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, hundreds of officials are tied, the court is barren, traitors jump up and down, specifically to cater to the emperor's preferences, frequently raise teachers and move the public, and build a lot of construction in useless places, Tiancheng has only been founding for more than 20 years, and has been in decline. ”

"Change an emperor, or a different dynasty, which does Fifth Brother Shen think is better?"

Shen Tan laughed, "The Seventeenth Prince is really a fellow Daoist with me, and if you can ask this sentence, you are a hundred times stronger than those ministers in the court." Shen Tan put away his smile, and his expression suddenly became serious, "If you can change the emperor, it is better to change the dynasty directly." ”

The building base does not squeak, and the chess pieces are rummaged back and forth.

Shen Tan took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued: "The Zhang family has only usurped Liang for more than 40 years, and the name Tiancheng has been 26 years, and it has been less than 20 years since the real domination of the world. ”

"There are some." Lou Ji thought of the eldest princess of Luoyang and others, who were sincerely loyal to the emperor.

"Enough to rule the world?"

Lou Ji shook his head, "Fifth Brother Shen is right, but the time is not right." ”

Shen Tan nodded, "It's true, but I have a hunch that the emperor wants to do big things, and if it doesn't work, the world will be in chaos immediately, and it will be, and the world will be in chaos later." Please remember my words today, and when you think the time has come, you can come to me. ”

"Keep it in mind."

Shen Tan smiled and said: "The Lou and Shen families are in the same spirit, and my father often says that the general is majestic and strategic, and he is only one person through the ages, and only the general is worth following in terms of heroes in the world." ”

The two chatted for a while, Shen Tan seemed to have endless words, but Shen Cong and Lou Hard in the hall were drunk, Shen Tan had to take his brother back to the house, and Lou Ji also went back to his house, not letting the old servant serve, and sitting alone in the room to recall every word of Shen Tan.

Shen Tan is very similar to Ma Wei, the son of a high family, of the same age, bold, likes to make all kinds of friends, if he wants, he can always "hit it off at first sight" with his first acquaintance, but there are obvious differences, Shen Tan is more easy-going, people don't feel the influence of family background, and Ma Wei always intentionally emphasizes the identity of "emperor".

After analyzing these two people, Lou Ji pondered the emperor again, it was still a mess, Shen Tan was right, the emperor was bound to do great things, but no one could guess the direction.

When the building foundation woke up again, I found that I had slept at the desk for a while, the night was deep, the building base stripped to bed, but could not sleep, and muttered a sentence of "follow the name and be responsible", when I heard the pedant say, I consciously enlightened, and when it came to practical use, it was like overcoming thorns and thorns, and I did not see the path for a long time.

He needed guidance, but the scholar had already returned to his hometown, and he would not be able to find it for a while.

Early the next morning, someone from the palace came to invite him, saying that the general had returned to the house and wanted to see him immediately.

Lou Hard had already arrived, and he was quite excited to see his father, "Someone actually claimed that my father was under house arrest in the palace, but my father came out unharmed, haha, this time I can shut everyone up." ”

Lou Wen was not as irritable as when he was in the palace, sitting on the chair and gasping silently, listening to the nonsense of the third son, when the building came, he didn't speak, and he had to wait for one more person.

This person is not Lou Wen's son and grandson.

Liu Youzhong is famous for physiognomy, refuses to be an official, wanders among dignitaries, since more than ten years ago to Lou's house, and the general has frequent contacts, participating in secrets, although not named, but is the most trusted staff of the general.

Lou Ji still remembered this Xiangshi, and Liu Youzhong even remembered this child who was only seven or eight years old at the time, he was stunned at first, and immediately smiled: "This is ...... 'unspoken son', right?" ”

"Mr. Liu still remembers that he was ignorant when he was a child, and he had spoken many years ago." The building is arched.

Lou Jian smiled on the side: "Lao Liu, you said at the time that my younger brother 'shut up and it's okay, open your mouth to cause trouble', he has been opening his mouth for so many years, and it seems that there is nothing wrong." ”

"'If you keep your mouth shut, you will be virtuous in ruling the world, and if you open your mouth, you will become a hero in troubled times', well, I said it." Liu Youzhong looked at it again.

"Look at it now, where does the seventeenth brother look like a hero?" Lou asked hard.

"He hasn't opened his mouth yet, so he's naturally not a hero." Liu Youzhong finally showed an unfathomable expression.

Lou was stunned, "He didn't open his mouth, who has been talking all these years?" ”

Lou Wen, who was sitting on the main seat, said: "Opening your mouth and closing your mouth are all inconsequential trivial matters, and I am not looking for you to talk about these gossip." ”

Lou was afraid of his father, so he "shut up" first, and Lou Ji naturally didn't squeak, Liu Youzhong stepped forward, bowed his hand slightly, and sat next to him, and the two sons of the Lou family were still standing.

Lou Wen's face was gloomy, "Is it because I killed too much back then?" The Lou family is full of children and grandchildren, and there is no one presentable. Let them go out of the city to join the army, hoping that someone will appease the generals and calm the morale of the army. These idiots actually took refuge and hid in the barracks to do nothing, and I heard that there are still people who want to escape, what the fuck ......"

Lou Wen scolded people in all sorts of tricks, and he didn't shy away from his own children and grandchildren, Lou Hard and Lou Ji could only listen honestly, Liu Youzhong smiled and persuaded: "The general rarely takes his children and grandchildren into the military camp, but suddenly asks them to appease the generals, even the gods are difficult to do." ”

"It's not for them to lead troops to fight, it's just to drink and chat with the generals, is it difficult? It's good now, I'm going to show my cowardice to the Lou family. Lou Wen sighed heavily, "It's a pity that my sons who are still a little useful are not around." ”

Lou Jian couldn't help but interject: "Father, isn't there me and my seventeenth brother." ”

Lou Wen glanced at his two sons, unconcealed the disdain on his face, and finally his gaze fell on Lou Ji, "Tell me what's going on, you little white man, how did you get to Your Majesty's side?" ”

Lou Ji did not hide it, from borrowing articles to the eldest princess, but he did not mention Ma Wei, nor did he mention the situation in Zhang Shiduan's family, he promised to keep it secret.

Lou Wen's face softened slightly, and he turned his head to Liu Youzhong and said, "Who would have thought that our Lou family would actually come out with a kid who can write articles." ”

"I've read that article, it's really good, no wonder the eldest princess values you." Liu You's final road.

"No matter how well the article is written, it's useless, real knives and real guns can show real skills." Lou Wen was not interested in the article, "Madame and the princess have been pampered by you, and they have not returned to the palace so far, and I have not even had a companion after returning home with the third child." ”

"Father, having my mother and princess by the side of the Queen Mother is beneficial to our Lou family." Lou Hard is not in a hurry to see his wife.

Lou Wen glared at the third son, and then said to Lou Ji: "You love to come up with ideas so much, it seems that it is the life of a strategist, come on, great strategist, tell me about the current situation, and come up with a few strange plans." ”

Lou Wen was obviously sarcastic, and Lou Ji arched his hand and said: "The general and Mr. Liu are discussing, the child should listen and learn more, how can there be nonsense." ”

"Hey, you know a little bit about the rules." Lou Wen turned to Liu Youzhong, "Look for it, these two sons are barely human, let them listen to it." ”

Liu Youji nodded, glanced at Lou Ji, and seemed to say, "You haven't spoken yet", Lou Ji looked away, and stood to the side with the third brother to listen.

Lou Wen cared most about the army outside the city, and his loyal subordinates provided him with news, "The imperial court has replaced more than half of the civil servants in the camp, and the generals have not been adjusted much, and now the temporary leader of the army is Xiao Guogong Cao Shenxi, and it is not clear to me, I only say that I go home to rest, what is this?" ”

Lou Hard had already told his father about Shao Junqian, and was about to open his mouth to remind him, but he was glared back by the general.

Liu Youzhong pondered for a moment, "Looking at what His Majesty has done, he is a reasonable person. ”

"Hah!"

Liu You didn't care about ridicule in the end, "The general thinks about it carefully, when did the people His Majesty abolished, establish, kill, and save without a clear reason?" When didn't you say that the ministers were speechless? ”

"Well, I understand what you mean, no matter what Your Majesty wants to do with me, you have to be famous."

"Exactly, if you think about it carefully, does the general have the handle to be caught?"

Lou Wen thought for a while, "No, my family is a waste, but there is a benefit, don't cause me trouble." ”

Lou Ji's heart skipped a beat.

"Then the general doesn't have to worry, what His Majesty has done is nothing more than a temptation."

"Tempting what?"

"The art of the courtiers has rewards and punishments, promotions and dethronements. One reward and one punishment, so that the ministers serve, one is promoted and one is deposed, and the ministers are sincere. ”

"Tell me better."

Liu Youzhong pointed to the hard building and the foundation of the building, and said with a smile: "The general has always been kind to his children, right?" ”

"Hey, I didn't kill them, I'm soft-hearted."

"But there is a shortage of food and clothing?"

"Of course there is no shortage, there are almost 200 men and women, and the money spent every year is enough to support an army of 10,000."

"If you have already provided food and clothing, why don't you give you a pleasant face?"

"Give everything, don't you get used to them? Disciplining children is the same as administering soldiers...... Ah, I see, Your Majesty is treating us old ministers as sons. ”

Liu Youzhong smiled: "The meaning is the same, after all, it is different." The general is the founder of the country, and he was ordered by the previous emperor to assist the new monarch, and the new monarch's position is becoming more and more stable, so naturally he does not want to be 'used to' the old minister, so he must show his stern side and test your reaction......"

"See who is faithful, and who is dissatisfied. I am a loyal servant, but what can I do to convince Your Majesty? ”

"Well, for the sake of the general, I will write tomorrow, hand over the seal of the Western Expedition, and concentrate on guarding the court."

"Real friends?" Lou Wen was taken aback, he had been in charge of the army for many years, and he was extremely unsteady when he handed over the military power.

"Hehe, Your Majesty tempts the general, can't the general test Your Majesty? Scribes can't fight, the generals in the army are all old generals, if the court really accepts the seal of the commander, they won't agree, right? ”

Lou Wen suddenly realized and said to his two sons: "This is the real strategist, can you compare to one of Mr. Liu's toes?" ”

Lou Jian muttered, "Toes don't come up with ideas." ”

Lou Ji said: "It's far from it. ”

Liu Youzhong smiled and said: "General, don't boast too much, if you say something wrong, I can't bear the responsibility." ”

"It's not wrong, that's what you mean, third child, say Shao Junqian's words again."

Lou Hard immediately recounted it, and Liu Youzhong listened carefully, nodded and said: "In this way, Your Majesty wants to test more than one general. ”

Lou Wen let out a sigh, "It's just a temptation, then I'll be sure." ”

Lou Ji shouted in his heart: "No, this is not just a temptation. But he didn't say anything, but nodded with Lou Hard.
