"Only by handing over the military power can the mouths of those ministers be silenced."

"But do you know what it means to have soldiers in your hands?" Liu Dehao was holding a ring given to him by his uncle: "Do you know what this is?" This is the talisman that the Emperor Thief used to use, and you want to ask why the ring is not a token. Because the emperor thief has rules, he is not in charge of the army, and he does not participate in politics, but do the emperor thieves really do these two things? Why does the king of thieves have to be in charge of the government in the dark? Because without an army, it will be reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others. ”

It is easy to govern the army, but it is difficult to govern the country. Unarmed, there is no right to speak.

Liu Dehao knew why Yin Shenglin avoided contradictions, but if it really came to the day when he needed to use soldiers, he would be in trouble.

"I've been commanding troops on the border for many years, do you really think that the Leopard Torch Army is an ordinary army?"

"I know what you mean, but when you have military power, when you have it in your hands, others will be afraid of you."

Yin Shenglong said: "Dehao, you don't care about him, Shenglin has always acted as he pleases, besides, the four royal barracks and the thief king are here, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"That is, the sky of Changling is supported by us, no matter how the situation changes, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine."

Liu Dehao nodded helplessly, he always had some ominous premonitions, but he didn't know where this premonition came from.

Although Yin Shenglin gave up his military power, he recognized the main general when the Leopard Torch Army had no soldiers, and he still had confidence in his soldiers.

"You can't go anywhere today, come back to the palace with me." Liu Dehai said: "Give Dehao the wind and wash the dust, and if you don't go home for a year or two, let your sister-in-law cook herself." ”

"No, big brother. Before leaving the palace, my father asked me to tell you and my sister-in-law that everyone will come to Liu's Mansion tonight. There are also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi. ”

"The New Year is approaching, there are some affairs to be done in my palace, yesterday has already wasted a day, and today must not participate in the banquet. Let Shenglin say hello to Liu Jiaotou and the eldest princess on my behalf. Yin Shenglong said.

……

"I salute Liu Jiao's first cup." Yin Shenglin laughed, his eyes narrowed into a slit, like a crescent moon.

Liu Jian said: "My whole body is good, and the only deficiency is that I am not strong enough to drink." ”

"That junior does it first for respect." Yin Shenglin said.

Liu Dehao thought to himself: The whole body is fine, do you feel good about yourself?

Mrs. Liu Dehai is the eldest daughter of the Changling Yu family.

"Sister Wunian, tell your sister-in-law how the third brother came together with you?"

"Back to my sister-in-law, Liu Zhangzun is young and promising, with lofty ambitions, and is naturally a person that many women admire."

Not bad, not bad, continue to praise, continue to praise. Liu Dehao said in his heart, in fact, if he really married her, there was nothing wrong with it, it was better than marrying those so-called ladies.

"Is he still longing for many women?" Yin Shenglin said: "The girl is under the stairs for him, and the third brother must have been stalking to bring the girl back." ”

Liu Dehao glared at Yin Shenglin: "Everyone can see it, and you still need to emphasize it personally?" ”

The crowd laughed. Yin Hong asked, "His Royal Highness King Qi will not be able to run out of Beijing for a while when he returns to Beijing this time, right?" What about your marriage? ”

Yin Shenglin said: "Me? Doesn't matter. ”

"So you're going to relax before you get married? How many times have you been to Mochizuki Tower? Liu Dehai asked.

"No. I wanted to go to the Star Picking Tower to drink, so many years have not been in Changling, I don't know the road, and I went to the Moon Tower. But the people there are frightened, if you let the Liting Pavilion catch me, a royal child, you can't punish me? I don't know the Yan Lao palm of the Rite Pavilion, and he is a very demanding and old-fashioned person. ”

"Hahaha." Liu Jian said: "You, you have really been at the border for a long time, and you don't know anything about the big and small things in Changling." Elder Yan resigned from his post a year ago and returned to his hometown to recuperate. The current head of the Liting Pavilion is Tong Anzuo, the son of Prime Minister Tong, that is, your future eldest brother. You kid is okay, you married a girl from the Tong family, and there are prime ministers, courtiers, Wang Xi, and your second brother in charge of the Agricultural and Commercial Pavilion. The Dou Imperial Court has five pavilions, so you can take up more than half of it first! ”

"With so many palms combined, they can't beat the head of your forbidden army!"

"That's natural, I was also a talent when I was young, and those people in the court wanted to marry the Liu family."

"Then I understand, the third brother is obviously not as good-looking as you were when you were young, so no one in the court is looking for him to marry." Yin Shenglin said.

"Yes, yes, yes, he is not only inferior to me in appearance, but also has a stubborn temperament, those people in the court are decent, who dares to ask him?"

Liu Dehao thought to himself: You people...... Why did it get to me again?

"We haven't competed in a long time, have we?" Liu Dehai asked.

"You ......" Liu Dehao gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Dehai, and said in his heart: You people...... You want to bully me again!

Liu Jian said: "Yes, yes, yes, if you are happy with wine, you should dance with a sword and a gun." This is the old tradition of our Liu family. Who came first with whom? ”

"That's it, in terms of strength, Liu Jiaotou is the strongest, although I am not good at martial arts, but after all, I am a person in the army, Wu Nian girl is also a master in the martial arts, it should be slightly above me, the weakest is the third brother, so let's do it, Liu Jiaotou and Liu Zhangzun together, against me and Wu girl."

Liu Dehao smiled slightly: "No need, since Wu Nian is also allowed to participate, then this matter will be easy." I'll deal with you and my dad with her. Can't beat you? "Liu Dehao knows Wu Nian's strength best, and today he finally has a chance to defeat his father.

Liu Jian is good at using short knives, Wu Nian is good at using swords, Yin Shenglin is good at using spears, Liu Dehao is not good at anything except for practicing bows and arrows, so he picked a spear casually, thinking: It's not easy to deal with Yin Shenglin.

"Change the sticks." Liu Jian said: "Miss Wu and I are perennial martial arts practitioners, and we have a sense of proportion in our hands. The two of you use long weapons, and you don't have a count in your hands, so it's too dangerous to fight like this. ”

Liu Dehai threw two wooden sticks to the two. said to Liu Dehao: "I can't beat you for you." ”

Liu Dehao took the stick and weighed it: "Come on." ”

If outsiders saw it, they thought that Liu Fu had entered the assassins, Liu Dehao gave Yin Shenglin a look, and the two decided to pretend. The good scene this night is still the discussion between Wu Nian and the future father-in-law.

Wu Nian saluted, drew his sword with his backhand, and looked straight ahead.

The name of the sword of Wu Nian said: Chop Feng, legend has it that when this sword was refined, a white dragon came out of the sword, hovered in the air a few times, and then flew south, where it passed, ten years of barrenness, not a single inch of grass grows, so the sword got its name: cut the waste. The first owner of this sword is the master of Wu Nian, who practices the sword under the maple tree, and all fallen leaves must be cut into two sections. Because "slashing the waste" has the meaning of "slashing the emperor", this sword was renamed "slashing maple".

Liu Jian thought to himself: A good sword and a good sword must be very valuable.

The knife was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed. The speed of the two was comparable, the light and shadow of the sword flew around in the air, Liu Jian retracted the knife, made a left straight fist, and opened the fist. Wu Nian let go of the sword in his right hand, changed his hand to block, swept the sword in his left hand, and stabbed horizontally in his right hand.

Liu Jian rotated the short knife, blocked with the back of the knife, the blade and the sword qi fought, and Liu Jian made a move and broke through the wind.

Wu Nian took out his palm, and went up from the flank, Liu Jian dodged flexibly, pressing the blade with his knife, and at this moment Wu Nian's left side was no longer able to defend. If it was an enemy, Liu Jian could defeat it with just one palm.

The two stopped and saluted each other.

"Liu Jiaotou really deserves to be the first master of Dou Country, and he is willing to bow down."

"Miss Wu's swordsmanship is elegant and smart, are you a disciple of Qingfeng Gate Xu Daxia?"

"Exactly."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the old man Xu, the one who has a lot of martial arts and a lot of words."

Liu Jian said: "There are a lot of martial arts in general, and that's yourself." Why don't you two fight? ”

"Hit, you just fought, we also fought, and you didn't see it."

"Who's more powerful?"

"Of course it's me!" Liu Dehao said: "I'm not only powerful but also talk a lot, isn't it? ”

……

Linyuan County.

"General Lei of the Linyuan camp, a guest has arrived."

Lei Jiaojie went out to greet him: "Master Zhang, I still have to bother you to come to this town." I'm really sorry. ”

"Don't dare, you and I are both working for the prime minister, so how can I be tired."

"How is Changling over there?"

Unexpectedly, King Qi himself threw the Leopard Torch Talisman. The general can leave for Beijing now, and the prime minister is waiting for the general to come to Beijing in the palace. ”

"That's very good."

"I don't know what happened to the general's promise to the prime minister?"

"Everything else is easy to do, but Wang Fugui is not easy to do. Regardless of his words, I can transfer half of the strength of the Leopard Torch Army. ”

"That's enough, that's enough."
