In the quiet courtyard, after Zhuge Xuan listened to the reply of his own samurai, he didn't think twice, but just said to them, "When the street is beaten so much that you don't even have the strength to fight back, you go to the account and take this month's salary and leave!" Although he didn't mean to blame these warriors, they really lost the face of the Zhuge family and had to expel them from the Zhuge family.

Those warriors didn't speak, they all left the courtyard in silence, they had nothing to complain about, they lost to the broken army guard because they were not as good as others, and Zhuge Xuan didn't do anything wrong in expelling them from the Zhuge family, if you want to blame, you can only blame themselves for being too useless.

"Big brother, although you have an appointment with the surname Li, he will not give our Zhuge family face if he does this." Seeing those useless warriors leaving, Zhuge Dao, who was standing behind Zhuge Xuan, frowned and said, with a little anger in his voice.

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Zhuge Xuan turned a blind eye to his brother's anger, just looked indifferent, "I don't think anyone will suspect that we are playing with him, and Marshal Li has done nothing wrong in this matter." ”

"Big brother means that this matter is settled?" Seeing that his brother didn't care, Zhuge Dao was a little angry, the Zhuge family was a high-ranking family in the Great Qin family, but this incident made the Zhuge family lose face.

"Did I say that's it?" Looking at the somewhat impatient brother, Zhuge Xuan stood up, "Make things as big as possible, whoever you let go, you send someone to inform them from the Wei family, and say that Yue'er was taken away by Marshal Li's people." ”

"The bigger things are, the better?" Looking at his brother with a calm face, Zhuge Dao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he felt as if he understood what his brother meant. But I can't say why. I can only ask my brother for advice.

"If you want to hide people's eyes, you have to be realistic." Zhuge Xuan looked back at his brother, "You're still too anxious." I mean Marshal Li didn't do anything wrong, but he never said that he would ignore it. ”

Looking at the brother with a leisurely attitude, Zhuge Dao understood how far he was from his brother, and he lowered his head, "Big brother." I was wrong. After speaking, he left in a hurry, looking at his departing figure, Zhuge Xuan shook his head, his brother's impatient temper does not change, sooner or later he will suffer, maybe he doesn't have to, right now. His son-in-law is not a person to be messed with, thinking of this, Zhuge Xuan couldn't help laughing, he really wanted to know how Li Ang would sing this big play.

Chang'an City, which had been quiet for several months, was lively again. Because of the affairs of Li Ang and the Zhuge family, of course, the Hedong Diwei family must be added. At least now Miss Zhuge who lives in Li Ang's Zhuangzi is nominally the wife of Wei Ziqing, the young master of the Wei family, this time Li Ang let people directly bring Miss Zhuge back to his home from the warriors of the Zhuge family, it can be said that he has ruthlessly lost the face of the Zhuge family and the Wei family, for these families, what is the most important thing, is face, although the Wei family is not after the meritorious service, but it is also the Hedong clan that has continued from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, otherwise, Zhuge Xuan would not consider finding them to be a weighty companion.

Now the major newspapers and bookstores in Chang'an are making a big fuss about this matter, and those scholars are racking their brains, making up stories one after another, pleasing those viewers and earning gold baht. Of course, Cui Hao's own newspaper office did not let go of such a good opportunity, and he even made up the story himself, but he still left seven points of affection for Miss Zhuge 's maiden family, but he counted all of it to the head of Hedong Wei's family.

"Your black fox is a character." In the imperial study, Cao Anmin took the newspaper of the newspaper shop that Cui Hao counted in Li Ang's name, and smiled at Li Ang, "Counting the heroic martyrs of the northwest of Great Qin a while ago, I estimate that the top spot in the Chang'an City newspaper shop in the future will be none other than Qing." ”

Li Ang didn't answer, just shook his head, Cui Hao's writing, although it made the Wei family in Hedong fall sharply in the people's reputation, but it also made him himself considered a shameless villain by the major families in Chang'an, and he actually wrote this kind of thing to make money, and the most unlucky was him, who was also scolded for no reason.

"I heard that the Zhuge family also took action, and the gang has been very popular lately." Cao Anmin thought of Jing Zhaoyin and the top of the Criminal Department recently, looked at Li Ang and said, "You don't plan to give the Zhuge family a few blows, if this meeting is not lively enough, it is inevitable that people will be suspicious in the future." ”

"Your Majesty, is this a matter of letting the ministers go to the Zhuge family?" Seeing Cao Anmin's playful face, Li Ang also made a rare joke, he and the Zhuge family did not hide from Cao Anmin from beginning to end, Li Ang knew very well in his heart that his biggest backer was Cao Anmin, as long as Cao Anmin stood up

On the one hand, on the premise of not touching the bottom line of those families, no one in Daqin can he will not hide anything from Cao Anmin, in other words, he is absolutely loyal to Cao Anmin, just like the chief and the great Sima used to the dead Emperor Wen.

"It would be nice if you really hit the door, but you don't have any good excuses, why don't I help you." Looking at Li Ang, Cao Anmin smiled and said, Li Ang is both a minister and a friend to him, and what he cares about the most is that Li Ang never hides it from him, he may not believe in the allegiance of the major families, because the allegiance of the major families is not to him but to Daqin and the benefits that Daqin brings to them, only Li Ang entrusts him with everything he has, it can be said that the only person he Cao Anmin can trust in the whole world is Li Ang, they are both prosperous and loss-oriented.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but you don't have to bother Your Majesty if you help." Li Ang replied with a smile, he planned to hide the truth of this 'Liangzi' with the Zhuge family for the rest of his life, if Cao Anmin intervened and was seen by others, he would not have to taste it.

"I knew you would say that!" Cao Anmin turned around and picked up two appointment documents from the table and threw them to Li Ang, "These are the two people you want, and from now on they will be your retainers." Seeing that Li Ang took over the appointment document with a happy face, Cao Anmin couldn't help but sigh, "Chen Qingzhi, Ran Min, these two are both generals, and they were taken by you like this, and I am really reluctant to say it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Ang put away the paperwork and thanked Cao Anmin, as Cao Anmin said, Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min are both generals, especially Chen Qingzhi, who was born in the Jiangnan Wang family, and is a person who is optimistic about the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate, and he abducted him like this, I really don't know if the Jinling Metropolitan Protectorate will send someone to Chang'an to trouble him.

"You don't need Xie Zhen, if they themselves don't want to follow you, what's the use of me and the military hall's order." Cao Anmin waved his hand, and then laughed, "Besides, with you, the god of war, even if I just stay by my side for another fifteen years, I will earn it." ”

"Your Majesty praised it falsely, the minister was just lucky, and he won some insignificant battles, and he really didn't deserve the word god of war." Li Ang Zhengse said, the word god of war is not only not a glory for him, but a burden, since the founding of the Great Qin, in addition to those famous generals from the dragon in the Taizu era who were born in poverty, this more than 100 years, the characters who can be called the god of war are all from the family Gaomen, if he receives the title of the god of war, it is estimated that those military high-ranking men will come to him to discuss the army.

"I know you're afraid of trouble, but I still want to say that you are the god of war in my dynasty, and no one can do it better than you when it comes to fighting." Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang and said in a deep voice, "Those military and martial arts masters, thirty years of peace, the children of the family still maintain their martial style, and they have not become a young master, I am already very satisfied, if you want to talk about the god of the army, maybe there will be a few in twenty or thirty years, but right now, you are the number one general of this dynasty, even if you are the great Sima and the chief commander, you have to admit it, you don't have to be modest." ”

"Although the current Great Qin still seems to be in all directions, but I understand that this is just relying on the spirit of the ancestors of the past, Rome, Xiongnu, Persia These countries are becoming more and more subordinate, and they will have to fight with Great Qin sooner or later, and you can't be idle in the next fifteen years." Cao Anmin looked at the map of dominating the world behind him, and sighed, "If it weren't for your battle in the northwest this time, destroy Tubo, behead 400,000 levels, and scare them, I'm afraid those..." Li Ang's almost cold-blooded slaughter reminded them of the terrifying Great Qin Legion in the past, so they didn't dare to make a move, but this was only for a while, they would send troops to Hezhong sooner or later, and Daqin would most likely have to face a two-front battlefield at that time, and there were still a lot of remnant local forces in Hezhong, and it would not be easy to fight at that time.

"Now the garrison in the river has reached 200,000, but in addition to the troops guarding various places, the troops that Great Qin can use to defend against the Persians and the Huns on the two borders are less than 100,000." Cao Anmin looked at Persia and Rome on the map, which were located on the northwest and northwest lines of the river, and his eyes were cold.

"But as long as we wait until next year, there will be 200,000 troops to march into the river." Cao Anmin turned his head to look at Li Ang, "Your battle in the northwest bought time for Great Qin, so I want to thank you." ”
