(Ask for collection and recommendation)

The general had already discovered the benefits of this edict, and without consulting with his son, he found other staff, imitated the handwriting on it, and added a few lines of words, the content was very simple, the "emperor" deeply remembered that the prince was weak and weak, so he appointed the king of Xiangdong as the governor of the forbidden army, the opening of the palace and the three divisions, and appointed An Guogong and the general Lou Wen as the general of the West Road, leading the history of Qin, and, and Han states, and taking charge of all military affairs.

After seeing it, Lou Ji was taken aback, and said "inappropriate".

The general said, "What's wrong? I and the king of Xiangdong are each other's faces, he is in charge of the forbidden army, and I am in charge of the foreign army, which is the rebirth of the emperor of all things, what can I do? ”

Lou Ji still shook his head, "With all due respect, my father and the king of Xiangdong have rebelled, but they refuse to accept the name of rebellion, and the name is ......."

Lou Wen took back the edict from his son and carefully put it in his arms, "Don't come to the 'name' set, you are indeed a good son, but don't be too complacent, many things are not as simple as you think." The states are unstable, and whoever is in the eastern capital suffers from it. Isn't there a saying, whoever fights, whoever wins, I don't want to join the fight too early, I have to watch from the sidelines, and finally make a profit. ”

Lou Ji forgot the sentence "there are people who can be persuaded first, and then there are words that can be persuaded", and said eagerly: "Although Tiancheng has a split appearance, it is generally not chaotic, and with the prestige of his father, he will quell the rebellion, dismiss the conscription, recuperate, and use the people to ...... time."

"That's enough, what is 'using the people to time', you really think you ......" Lou Wen held his stomach and frowned, and his tone was much kinder when he spoke again, "I understand what you mean, but our Lou family, without the emperor's life, I can't do it, and even more so brothers like you." ”

"Father...... "Lou Ji still wants to say more.

Lou Wen shook his head, "You go to rest, early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send you to Tongguan, if you really have the ability, you will wash Cao Shen away, and wait for me to bring the imperial court back to accept the army." There are some of your brothers over there, and some of my loyal generals, and I will write a letter and they will help you. ”

The building had to say "obey".

Lou Wen held one of his son's hands, "You are my son, it's a good thing to be ambitious, but don't overdo it, there are hundreds of descendants of the Lou family, you can't let you toss alone, understand?" ”

"Understood."

"Well, when you get to the west, the Lou family doesn't have to worry about any imprisonment, you can be an official."

"Yes, father. There are also ...... lady and third brother in the city."

"Take your time, you have to leave something for the court, so that everyone can trust each other."

Lou Ji retired, came to the residence, obviously very sleepy, but unable to sleep, in the end he could only admit that it was a facompli, he could not convince his father, not every important minister wanted to be the emperor, the general, the king of Xiangdong did not have this ambition.

The Shen family may have great ambitions, Ma Wei will be able to show his skills over there, and he has a surname that he can't get rid of, and he must stay in the Lou family.

The matter has come to an end, he began to ponder the trip to Tongguan, Cao Shenxi is generous, quite the heart of the soldiers, but the foundation is far inferior to the general, and he is attacked by the chaos and the river workers on both sides, can be used to subdue it......

Lou Ji had just come up with half of the plan, and fell asleep on the table, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, his boots had been removed, his clothes were still there, his body was covered with a thin quilt, and there was a cold meal on the table.

How long did you sleep on your own? The foundation of the building jumped up, and when I pushed the door to see that the sun was half setting, it was almost dusk, and there were a few more carriages in the courtyard, apparently a messenger had arrived.

His stomach growled, the door closed, he put on his boots, and sat down at the table to eat, although everything was cold, and he didn't want to be heated.

Qiao Zhisu knocked on the door and entered the house, carrying a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "Seventeenth son, do you want to have a drink?" ”

"Mr. Joe, please be seated." The building base stood up to greet him.

The two drank and chatted, and Qiao Zhisu first mentioned the edict, "The general has made up his mind and will dominate one side, and the king of Xiangdong will probably agree to this plan." ”

Lou Ji couldn't help but say: "This is an expedient measure, it can only solve the temporary difficulty, it is difficult to break the worries of the day, the chaos of Qinzhou is the first victory, there are river workers outside, but the general has to be in danger......"

"The general's plan is to gather the army of Tongguan, go north to join the army of Bingzhou, enter Qinzhou from the north, attack the rebels by surprise, and then go straight to Xijing, change the suppression to Fu, not only to quell the chaos, but also to run Qinzhou as a place to support."

Lou Ji put down his wine glass and sighed: "Maybe I'm too young, so ambitious, I only think about the 'world', and I specialize in dangerous moves, but my father doesn't plan for the long term." ”

"The general has won every battle in his life...... The battle of Qinzhou is not counted, it does not rely on bravery and strategy, but step by step and detailed planning. ”

"Father...... That's right. Lou Ji admitted reluctantly, but his plans were very risky, and they were really not safe, for him, the victory and defeat were all the same, but for the general, what he cared about was that the Lou family was full of people.

"The general has a short temper, but he regards his children and grandchildren as treasures, although the battle of Qinzhou makes the general cold, he is not willing to punish severely. What's more, there are young sons and grandchildren in the family who have not grown up, and the general said that in the future, he will personally raise them, so that they can eat and live with the soldiers, so as not to grow into children again. ”

The building was dumbfounded, but I could imagine that this was indeed something that my father could do, but I didn't know how long it would last.

"Will the imperial court let the Lou family members in the city come out?"

"We're talking, Lan Yong is in the general's room at the moment."

Lan Yong is the son of Guowu Marquis Lan Sui, and he has met Lou Ji a few times, and said in surprise: "Lan Yong? The imperial court sent the Lan family to be lobbyists? ”

The Lou and Lan families are not in harmony, and the government and the opposition know it.

Qiao Zhisu said with a smile: "After all, the two families are relatives, and they are usually not in harmony, so they still have to take care of each other at this time." The general's wife, Bao Lan Yong, acted as a messenger, and she also wrote a letter herself. ”

Lou Ji has a good impression of Mrs. Lan, "The new emperor ascended the throne, and the Lan family didn't get any benefits, right?" ”

"Hehe, let's say in private, the Lan family is really unproductive, the literature is not successful, the martial arts are not enough, no matter who is in power, the Lan family will not be reused, so they have to do some work in the middle to transmit messages."

"Why did the general and the Lan family have a bad relationship?"

"It's not a big deal, the general looks down on Guowu Hou, and he never hides it, and often says in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that the Lan family's greatest ability is to give birth to two good daughters, and the men are all useless."

Lou Ji smiled, the general was right, but it was too hurtful, no wonder it would offend the Lan family.

"The imperial court still wants the general to hand over the military power?"

"It should be, the Liang family is also confused, thinking that if they win the favor of the new emperor, they will be able to control the world, and they can't see the frequent chaos, which is the time when the general is needed the most."

The two of them had a lot of emotion, they didn't drink much, but they were both a little drunk.

Speaking of Tongguan, Qiao Zhisu didn't care, "When the seventeenth prince arrives in Qinzhou, he doesn't have to do anything, just contact the old department of the general and prepare to meet the general." With the assistance of the king of Xiangdong, and the edict clearly stated, the imperial court could only accept all the conditions of the general, and at most they would fight back and forth a few times. ”

"The general's plan is indeed sound."

"There are constant changes, and finally there is a good result. Come, let's drink. ”

The two drank a pot of wine to the point that there was no left, and Qiao Zhisu smiled: "That's all, when the king of Xiangdong arrives, the two of us still need to come forward." ”

When Qiao Zhisu said goodbye, it was already dark, and Lan Yong had already returned to Beijing.

Lou Ji went to see his father, Lou Wen was sitting there reading the letter, looked up at his son, and sneered: "Your mother is also a ghost, and she actually asked the Lan family for help, as if I can't do it." ”

Lou Ji said: "Madame is also for the sake of the general and the Lou family." ”

Lou Wen pressed his stomach again, "You have to kill all those chaotic people." ”

"Qinzhou will be the foundation of the general in the future, and the chaotic people will be the people of the general."

"Haha, you figured it out?"

"The child has figured it out, and the father's arrangement is more appropriate."

Lou Wen put the letter away, "The Liang family sent you to pass the word was not enough, and asked Lan Yong to come over to convey the meaning of the queen mother and the crown prince, saying that as long as I hand over the military power, I will give the Lou family an iron coupon to avoid death." Hey, what do I want that thing for? ”

"How did my father answer?"

"I told what I meant, and also told Lan Yong that I had a copy of the edict in my hand, but I didn't say the content of the edict. You should have seen the look on his face at that time, as if he had been stabbed ten times. Haha, your edict is too timely, revitalize the entire chess board. ”

The father and son chatted for a while, Lou Wen sighed, and sure enough, he mentioned that he wanted to raise his children and grandchildren in person, "When I get to Xijing, I want to marry more than a dozen fertile women, have more sons, and rebuild the Lou family, I don't believe it, there are so many sons, only you are decent?" ”

"The sword is out of the sheath, and you brothers just don't have a chance yet."

"Isn't it a chance to go with me? Alas, they can't do it, none of them can't, some swords can be unsheathed by themselves, such as you, some swords, to be pulled out of the sheath, there are indeed so many children and grandchildren of the Lou family, all of them are officials outside, and the rest of the people are just a sword hilt, when there is a sheath, it is okay, it can bluff people, once it is out of the sheath, it will be broken, there is a handle without a body, and even a dog can not be scared away. ”

Lou Wen was in a good mood, he talked with his son for a long time, he couldn't say that he was amiable, but he had nothing to talk about, in Lou Ji's impression, there had never been such a moment, and the last doubt in his heart disappeared, and he even suggested to his father how to govern Qinzhou.

The two kept talking about the night, and it was reported that the king of Xiangdong was about to arrive, and Lou Wen sent his son and Qiao Zhisu out of the post station to greet him.

There were not many people brought by the king of Xiangdong, only more than ten horses. When he arrived at the gate of the post station, the king of Xiangdong dismounted and entered the courtyard with the hand of the building, and he was not allowed to perform the courtiers and juniors.

The general and the king of Xiangdong have known each other for many years, and they don't need to test each other, after greetings, they immediately talked about business, the general showed the edict, and the king of Xiangdong patted his leg and said: "The big thing has been accomplished." There are no generals in the imperial court, and the new emperor is timid, and he does not dare to go out of the city to take over the forbidden army. ”

"It's not enough for me alone, it must be the king of Xiangdong who is in charge of the forbidden army, so that I can have the confidence to calm down the foreign strife."

The two praised each other for a long time, and the general motioned for irrelevant people to retreat, and Lou Ji left with Qiao Zhisu, knowing that the general was going to talk about some taboo topics with the king of Xiangdong.

It wasn't until midnight that the conversation ended, and the general summoned his cronies and said to Lou Ji: "Don't go to Tongguan first, accompany the king of Xiangdong to the barracks, and communicate at any time." ”

"Yes, father."

The building base went out to prepare horses and walked with the king of Xiangdong.

At the gate of the barracks, the king of Xiangdong left the building foundation and guards, and entered the camp alone, the building foundation is not clear, but he can't ask more.

About a quarter of an hour later, more than 100 horsemen drove out of the barracks, and a general in front of him approached and asked, "Are you the seventeenth son of the Lou family?" ”

"It's me."

"Well, come with us into town."

"Why did you go into the city? Xiangdong Wang ......"

"This is the order of the king of Xiangdong. Lou Ji, you've done something. ”

The building was shocked, and in the light of light, he suddenly understood that he was betrayed by his father and the king of Xiangdong.
