(Ask for collection and recommendation)

The Emperor dropped a question, turned his horse's head, and continued to gallop.

The noble attendants got on their horses one after another, chasing after the emperor, while thinking about how to answer, if they don't open their mouths, it will be tantamount to wasting a precious opportunity, and if they don't say it well, they will offend the general, and more seriously, they may offend the emperor.

But while running, everyone must raise their voices, and they must be concise and to the point, they don't have the energy to think deeply, and the longer they run, the more they don't care about offending anyone, and they often blurt out.

"Unacceptable!" A guard patted his horse and accelerated to approach the emperor, speaking a little breathlessly, "The pillar of the general's country, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, how can he break his wrist?" I guess the general is just polite......"

Another guard caught up, "After the assassination happened, the general blamed himself in his heart, thinking that he should be responsible for this, and returning the handsome seal is a plea, if Your Majesty thinks that the general is not guilty, he should not take it back!" ”

The third guard spoke, farther away, and shouted loudly, "The seal can be taken back!" The general has long since lost the courage of the past, and he just took the opportunity of quelling the chaos in Qinzhou to select new generals! ”

Another guard rushed up, "Who is in charge of the army should be decided by the imperial court, and the general will return the seal for no reason, and if he commits the crime of disrespect, the court should collect the seal and issue an order to reproach!" ”

Lou Ji is not good at riding, and he is a newcomer, so he carefully controls the horse and has not spoken, but the emperor has not forgotten him, suddenly turned around and asked directly: "Lou Ji, why don't you speak?" ”

Lou Ji originally followed behind, didn't stop for a while, ran over, hurriedly turned around, and said: "The son doesn't talk about the father, I don't dare to talk nonsense about the general's letter." ”

"Father and son have a way, monarchs and ministers also have a way, kings and ministers precede father and son, Lou Foundation, you are now a courtier in front of me, you should know everything, and say everything."

In front of the emperor, any shirk is a dead end, and the building foundation tightly tightened the reins and said: "The grass people obey the order......"

"If you are a grass people, how can the ordinary people outside deal with themselves?" This is the habit of the emperor, to grasp every little mistake, so that the other party is unguarded, and always in awe.

"Wechen ......" Lou Ji saw that the emperor did not object again, and continued, "Wechen must see the general's recital and find out the reason for the general's seal before he can make suggestions." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You are the son of the great general, and you have been following the general for the past two days, but you don't know what is written in the recital?" ”

"As Your Majesty said, the monarch and the minister precede the father and the son, the general governs the family like the army, and the chapters written can only be seen by the scribes around him, and the children and grandchildren cannot hear it."

"Haha, the general is really strict in his family style. Shao Junqian! ”

Shao Junqian accompanied the emperor into the garden, he was the only attendant who did not ride a horse, standing at the gate of the garden with a group of eunuchs, heard the emperor's call, and immediately ran over, although he had tried his best, he could only run in small steps.

The emperor turned his head to Zhang Shiduan and said, "Look at him like a duck, or a female duck." ”

Zhang Shiduan sneered, hurriedly held back, and reminded: "Your Majesty cares." ”

The emperor did not listen to the persuasion, and asked Shao Junqian who ran loudly: "Shao Junya, where is your little duck?" Lost? ”

The horseback attendant burst into laughter, Shao Junqian stopped panting, with a simple smile on his face, "The old duck wants to find food, and the little duck will fend for itself." ”

Everyone laughed louder, and the emperor became more and more complacent, "No kidding, Lou Ji wants to know the content of the general's recital, you tell him about it." ”

Shao Junqian immediately reversed: "The minister of Anguo Gong Wen is respectful: the minister was ordered to take charge of the Western Army last month, manage the armament and reorganize the army, according to the plan, fortunately there is a strong assistance from the division, and the local government will send troops and transport food, more than half a month, the army has been completed, and the opening is imminent, only waiting for the holy order." Suddenly, I heard the police in Beijing, saying that there were villains who disturbed the holy car, and the ministers were indignant, and they were outward, ashamed, and depressed inside. Lewd favor letter, entered the palace to stay guard, ten days have passed, and the villains have not been found in the same party for a long time, the ministers are angry and ashamed, physically and mentally ruined, and they can't live in fear. The Weisi Su guard is big, and the western expedition is heavy, so it cannot be temporarily abolished because of the ministers. The minister risked death ......"

The title of the general is An Guogong, which is rarely called in ordinary times, and is only used when he is in a book.

The emperor raised his hand, stopped Shao Junqian, and said to Lou Ji: "That's probably what it means, the general claims to be overworked, and blames himself for the assassination, and his body is overwhelmed, so he has to hand over the handsome seal." ”

Lou Ji secretly admired Shao Junqian, but the other attendants were accustomed to it, Shao Junqian was like a walking secretary of the province, never forgetting, the emperor asked casually, and he answered fluently.

"Weichen thinks that the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, let the general give the seal, and His Majesty should send a decree to comfort him, so again and again, to observe the general's ambition."

"You humble me, at least three times, more than nine times, ten times, this is the practice of the imperial court, you don't need to say, I only ask you three times, what about after ten times? I have to give the general a final answer. ”

Lou Ji had already vaguely guessed the emperor's intentions, and replied: "Weichen thinks that the old man is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles, although the general has old and sick, his knowledge has not diminished, and his prestige has become more and more famous. For the sake of the imperial court, it is better to still order the general to take the seal, and then send another deputy general, which not only shares the work of the general, but also takes the opportunity to test the talent of the general. ”

The emperor sneered, but did not object, "It's a way, who should the deputy general choose?" ”

"Knowing the general Mo Ruojun, Weichen knows very little about military affairs, and he doesn't dare to deal with it indiscriminately."

The emperor didn't press this time, and turned to the other attendants, "What do you think?" ”

The attendants had their own recommendations, or famous generals in the court, or noble relatives of the clan, the emperor nodded while listening, and finally said to a certain attendant: "Do you think the king of Jibei is suitable?" ”

The attendant thought that he had guessed the emperor's thoughts, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "The king of Jibei is brave and strategic, and when he was less than ten years old, he followed the emperor to fight in all directions, as far as Mobei, and he is the younger brother of His Majesty's class. There is one thing, you can't be a deputy general, you can be a superintendent, and you can be on an equal footing with a general. ”

"King Jibei doesn't like to fight as much as he did when he was a child, and now he just drinks, and he can't drink enough, it's just a wine tank. But you're right, you should indeed choose someone from the clan to be the deputy general. ”

The emperor did not want to stay where he was, so he galloped away, and his attendants were divided into two factions, one following closely and the other staying where they were.

Zhang Shiduan said to Lou Ji: "Now you can say, who do you want to recommend?" ”

Lou Ji smiled bitterly: "I really can't recommend it." ”

Zhang Shiduan said to Shao Junqian again: "You know Your Majesty's mind best, let's talk about it." ”

Shao Junqian also smiled bitterly, "I'm just a pen of His Majesty, dictating and listening, writing into chapters, I'm afraid I write a wrong word, how can I have the energy to guess Your Majesty's thoughts?" ”

Zhang Shiduan looked at the others and muttered, "I have to say it." ”

The Emperor ran two laps, then returned to his place and stopped, his eyes glancing.

Zhang Shiduan said: "Your Majesty, I recommend one." ”

When the emperor looked at the prince of Guangling, his eyes softened a lot, as if he was looking at his favorite son, "Oh, let's hear it." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable."

The emperor laughed, and immediately some attendants objected: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of the country, and he is young, how can he be placed in the army?" ”

Zhang Shiduan really knows the emperor best, "Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, similar to the King of Jibei back then, the King of Jibei has gone deep into Mobei, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can naturally go west to Qinzhou." The art of the emperor, both civil and military, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is learning literature and progressing, and the teacher praises him, it is time to learn martial arts. ”

The emperor said: "Well, I already know the meaning of Qing and others, and I will write and approve at least three times, and let me think about it slowly." Shao Junqian, prepare to remember. ”

Shao Junqian carried a knife plate at any time in the palace, and the emperor said that he carved it casually, and most of the glyphs were sketchy, so that only he could recognize them, and then transcribe them on the paper again.

The emperor's reply was very simple, praising the general's hard work, and finally let the general reluctantly lead the army in the name of Sheji.

Listening to these words alone, this is a very normal emperor, majestic when he should be majestic, humble himself when he should be humble, only the close attendants next to Shouli know what a strong person the emperor is.

After a long time, the emperor was basically on the horse, riding, chatting, and approving the recital, all the same, but Shao Junqian was busy, and more than a dozen woodblocks were used, running around in the field, which was more tiring than riding a horse.

The emperor finally went to rest, the attendants dispersed, Lou Ji was not good at riding, after dismounting, he only felt soreness all over, his legs could not be closed, although he tried to control it, his walking posture still looked strange.

Zhang Shiduan had long been used to it, and he didn't have anything at all, but a layer of fine sweat appeared on his head, and he ran over and said with a smile: "Lou Gongzi doesn't usually ride a horse?" ”

"Ride less."

"It doesn't matter, it'll be fine in two days, and when you feel the benefits, you will like the gallop on horseback, and you just hate that the horse is rare, and the capital garden is too small to be arbitrary. Tonight in the return garden, Lou Gongzi must come. ”

Lou Ji nodded, took advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, and whispered: "Don't let King Guangling return to Beijing." ”

Zhang Shiduan was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "Lou Gongzi is thinking too much." ”

Lou Ji couldn't say anything more, gave his hand, and followed the eunuch back to the shogun's temporary shogunate.

The general happened to be fine, drinking tea with two staff members, and when he saw Lou Ji, he immediately asked, "How is it?" ”

"Your Majesty wants the prince to supervise the army and march west with the general."

"Prince...... How old are you? The general looked at his staff as soon as he had doubts.

Qiao Zhisu said: "The prince is young, and the people around the prince are not young, I guess this is what Your Majesty means." ”

"There are a group of teachers and friends in the East Palace, who will Your Majesty send to take care of the crown prince?"

"Liang Shengzhi." Lou Ji replied, and immediately added, "I guess it's going to be him." ”

"Who is Liang Shengzhi...... I remembered, Mrs. Liang's grandson. The general snorted, "Don't guess anymore, it must be him, Your Majesty admires literature and suppresses martial arts, and wants to replace us veterans in the battlefield with these weak scholars." ”

The general sighed a few times and said to the building: "It's okay, you are better than a hard fat man, you can ask something to come out." ”

Lou Ji shook his head, "The child doesn't dare to be greedy, in fact, His Majesty has consulted everyone's opinions and has not concealed the slightest thing." ”

"Your Majesty, this is ...... Tempt me in turn. Lou Wen's satisfaction with his son immediately decreased by a few points, "It turns out that you are also a mouthpiece." ”

There was no argument at the base of the building.

The two staff members were the most observant, sat for a while, and each made an excuse to leave.

Lou Wen said to his son: "Come and sit, taste the tribute tea in the palace, there is no special taste, it is expensive, it is said that it is equivalent to gold when taken outside." ”

Lou Ji walked over and sat down, changed a cup of tea by himself, and tasted a sip, "The entrance is light, and there is a lingering fragrance after it, it is indeed a good tea." ”

"Hey, if I don't say it's tribute tea, you may not be able to taste the benefits. It doesn't matter, the descendants of the Lou family don't rely on tea to make a living. ”

"What my father said is that tea is the same tea, and once you enter the palace, you are worth a hundred times."

The general stared at his son and said coldly: "You are really a remnant of the Wu Kingdom, you want to stir up trouble whenever you have the opportunity, what does 'worth a hundred times' mean, do you think I can't hear it?" ”
