Chapter 257: Retribution
"Xiao Min, having said that, as the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info According to the king's knowledge, Guo Yue was born in the market, and he has been a ruffian since he was a child. Shi Shi reminded.
"Your Highness is right, Master Min, with all due respect, you and Ling Zun's loyalty to Your Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth. Although the patrol battalion has only 15,000 men, its responsibilities are particularly important. The safety of the entire Yecheng is in the hands of Gongzi, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are also in the hands of Gongzi, and even ...... and His Majesty's safety......" Zhang Bao said, looking at Shi Min and Shi Shi, deliberately making a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Shi Min looked at Shi Shi, then at Zhang Bao, and asked, "Lord Zhang, ...... are you?"
Zhang Bao hurriedly pretended to be calm and replied, "It's okay, it's okay......"
Shi Min could see that Zhang Bao seemed to have something to say, but he was worried, so he said: "Lord Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say, there are no outsiders here, although Shi Min is young and vigorous, he will definitely not talk nonsense behind his back." ”
Zhang Bao was silent for a moment, nodded solemnly, looked around, and said to Shi Min: "Does Gongzi know that Liu Rong, the former commander of the patrol battalion, secretly had close contacts with King Qing?" ”
Shi Min was stunned and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Zhang Bao smiled and shook his head, and said: "Xihuahou and Min Gongzi are dedicated to the country, and they have no intention of chasing fame and fortune, so they naturally know little about these things. However, it is an indisputable fact that Liu Rong invested in Qingwangfu. ”
"Hehe, I really don't know much about this question, since Master Zhang knows some of the situation, it's better to talk about it." Shi Min smiled.
Zhang Bao nodded and said: "Gongzi has been by His Majesty's side since he was a child, you may have heard some about the affairs of the court, please think about it, when Liu Rong was promoted to the commander of the patrol battalion, who strongly recommended it?" ”
Shi Min thought for a while and replied: "I remember that Liu Rong was promoted to the commander of the patrol battalion five years ago, and at that time, the person recommended in the book was Master Shangshu You of the Ministry of War. ”
"Yes, then Gongzi Min should know that Master You of the Ministry of War is from Qingwangfu, in the matter of promoting Liu Rong, does Gongzi think it will be Lord You's own idea?" Zhang Bao reminded.
Shi Min nodded and said silently, "What Master Zhang said is reasonable. ”
"In Zhang's opinion, Liu Rong is not as talented as his son, how can such an inferior person be the commander of the patrol battalion? What kind of calculation did Qingwangfu do in this matter, with the wisdom of the son, he should be able to figure it out, right? ”
Shi Min smiled slightly, and deliberately asked, "Dare to ask Lord Zhang what kind of conspiracy does Lord Zhang think there is in the Qingwang Mansion?" ”
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, slightly embarrassed, and said: "King Qing has been stationed in Li Cheng all the year round, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, once he moves south, the commander of the patrol battalion is his man, then ......"
"Master Zhang." Shi Min suddenly interrupted Zhang Bao's words and said solemnly: "Be cautious, you can't say anything else. ”
Zhang Bao smiled awkwardly, looked at Shi Shi and Shi Min, and said, "What Childe reminded is that Zhang almost lost his words. ”
"But this Liu Rong is dead, and the conspiracy that Lord Zhang said has been wiped out, and now the commander of the patrol battalion is me, so you don't need to worry."
"This is what Zhang is most worried about!" Zhang Bao said a little nervously.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Shi Min was a little puzzled.
Zhang Bao looked at Shi Shi, Shi Shi understood in his heart, and then said: "Xiao Min, you don't know, your current situation is much more dangerous than you imagined!" ”
Shi Min was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Highness might as well speak up!" ”
"It's true that Liu Rong is dead, but the conspiracy of King Qing's Mansion is far from over!" Shi Shi took a deep breath and said slowly: "This king knows that your father has never had the intention of fighting in the party, and this king is definitely not willing to fight in the party, so this king has never deliberately wooed your father. It's just that you must know that Qingwangfu has never won over your father, not because he Qingwang Shi Zun'an keeps to himself, but because he knows that your father can't buy his account! So as long as you patrol the camp for a day, the gate of Yecheng will not be opened if he wants to, and the king's words say this, you should understand the stakes, right? ”
Shi Shi's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting him on the head heavily, this kind of deceit, it was indeed something he had never considered, if what Shi Shi and Zhang Bao said was true, then he was really like walking on the edge of a cliff now, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed.
"Thank you, Your Highness and Lord Zhang for reminding you, Shi Min must be cautious......"
Shi Shi waved his hand and said, "It's not a matter of you being cautious, King Qing's Mansion has already done it." ”
Shi Min was a little surprised and asked, "How does Your Highness know?" ”
"To tell you the truth, today Your Majesty summoned the six ministers and this king, and someone has already started the idea of the commander of the patrol battalion in front of His Majesty! Therefore, Xiao Min, this king reminded you of this matter for the sake of the Xihua Marquis Mansion and the Yan Wangfu being about to tie the knot. ”
Shi Min asked again, "Then I don't know what they said today?" ”
"This king also asks you, has Your Majesty mentioned to you about the envoy to the Qiang and Di tribes?"
"I mentioned it once a few days ago, what's wrong?"
Shi Shi and Zhang Bao looked at each other for a moment, and Zhang Bao took over and said: "Master Min, that's the case, Zhang has the courage to give you a suggestion, it's better if you don't accept the errand of going to Hexi!" ”
"Why is that?"
"Gongzi has just sat in the position of commander of the patrol battalion, if you are an envoy to Hexi, and when you come back, the position of the commander of the patrol battalion may not be yours."
Hearing Zhang Bao's words, Shi Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Hehe, don't hide it from Lord Zhang, the commander of the patrol battalion has no intention of sitting for a long time. ”
Shi Min's indifferent attitude towards the position of the commander of the patrol battalion was obviously beyond Shi Shi and Zhang Bao's expectations, the two of them originally thought that Shi Min would follow their train of thought and try their best to keep their current official position, but they didn't expect Shi Min to care at all, so Shi Shi and Zhang Bao's faces vaguely revealed a trace of embarrassment.
At this time, Lord Xin, who had been sitting next to him and had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "The son is loyal and patriotic, and has no intention of fame and fortune, which really makes Xin'er admire." ”
"The county lord has won the prize......"
"Xin'er is a woman, and she doesn't understand any big truths." Lord Xinjun unexpectedly interrupted Shi Min's words and said, "Xin'er only knows that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Since he is loyal to the king, what the king loves is the duty of the son, and this is the way of a courtier. ”
The words of the county lord of Xin completely shocked the other three people, including Shi Shi, no one would have thought that a county lord who was silent would say such shocking words.
"This is just some of Xin'er's superficial opinions, if there is anything inappropriate in the words, the son will forgive me."
Shi Min was a little unsure of what Lord Xin said and didn't even dare to make eye contact with Lord Xin's eyes.
"Xin'er, what do you know about this kid? No nonsense. Shi Shi pretended to blame, but in fact, he had already seen that the words of Lord Xin just now had deeply shocked Shi Min.
At this time, Shi Min, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke slowly and said: "Although what the county lord said is too straightforward, it is thought-provoking, and Shi Min's shallow knowledge makes you laugh. ”
Seeing this, Shi Shi hurriedly found a step for Shi Min: "Xin'er just said casually, Xiao Min, don't mind!" ”
Shi Min's face was a little solemn, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for your kind words today, Shi Min has benefited a lot, what His Royal Highness and Lord Zhang said, Shi Min already knows in his heart, and Shi Min should know how to deal with the rest of the matter." ”
"Okay, okay, look, we were originally here to visit you and talk to you casually, why did we talk about such a heavy topic." Shi Shi knew that the topic of the patrol camp was not suitable to go on, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Yes, yes, Min Gongzi, we have been talking for so long, and you haven't tasted the food prepared for you by the county lord yet, hurry up, otherwise it will be a pity to spoil it!" Zhang Bao said, and hurriedly got up to carry two lunch boxes.
Shi Min also took over the topic when he saw the opportunity, and said: "Since the county lord has a heart, then Shi Min is better to obey his fate, today he will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and eat something with you, but this wine is ...... I really can't drink, I have ordered that alcohol is forbidden in the army, and as the commander of the patrol battalion, Shi Min must not take the lead in ignoring military law. ”
"Good! Then replace wine with water today! Feel free to talk and don't have to be inhibited! Shi Shiying and Dao.
