"What are you doing? I'm here to join the army! The man shouted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shi Min seemed to be a little familiar when he heard this voice, and turned around to see that before he could speak, the man had already seen Shi Min and shouted loudly: "General! It's me! Wang Chong! ”

Only then did Shi Min react, it turned out to be the young man he met near Handan a few days ago, so he waved to the guard at the door and ordered, "Let him go and let him in." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Chong's guards made way for him, and then walked in, and when he saw Shi Min, he immediately knelt on the ground, first kowtowed to Shi Min, and then said: "General, I was rescued by grace that day, and my Wang Chong is toothless and unforgettable, so I came to join the army to repay the general's great kindness that day." ”

"Get up, there is gold under the man's knees, what is a great kindness? As easy as lifting a finger. Shi Min said, hurriedly helped Wang Chong up, and asked, "How is your mother's funeral?" Didn't you come back to me after you finished cooking? ”

"It's already cooked." When Wang Chong talked about his mother, his originally happy face was a little sad, and then he lowered his head.

"How can it be so fast? We met you near Handan the day before yesterday, a hundred miles away from here, and you still have to take care of your mother's funeral, how can you be in time? Shi Min asked with some surprise.

"It's timely, after you left the day before yesterday, I found someone to buy a coffin to bury my mother, there is no one to worry about at home, I am left alone, so there is nowhere to go, thinking of the words you left for me at the time and this wooden card, I rushed to join the army, I ran over today in the morning, I am not familiar with the road from Handan to Yecheng, and I also took the wrong road during the period, and then asked to know the direction, and walked so many unjust roads, so my shoes were broken." Wang Chong said, taking out the wooden card that Shi Min had given him earlier.

Shi Min took the wooden sign, a little unconvinced by Wang Chong's words, and asked, "You mean, you only started to rush around midnight today, and then took a detour?" ”

"Right?" Wang Chong nodded with some confusion.

"What time is it?" Shi Min asked a soldier beside him.

"Back to Major General, it's less than three o'clock in the afternoon." The soldier replied aloud.

"How far do you estimate you've walked?" Shi Min asked Wang Chong again.

Wang Chong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "If you take the wrong road, it will be about one hundred and twenty miles." ”

"In less than three hours, you can walk more than 120 miles, Wang Chong, don't brag nonsense, there is no joke in the army, understand?" Shi Min said solemnly.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Wang Chong said with an innocent face.

The surrounding soldiers sighed for a while, and everyone felt a little incredible, such a short time to rush so many roads in a row, this is a very exaggerated thing, which is equivalent to almost no rest, faster than a rapid march, how good is this person's physical strength?

"You come with me." Shi Min glanced at Wang Chong and said to him.

"Yes!" Wang Chong nodded and followed Shi Min into the barracks.

In the Yanwang Mansion, Shi Shi was practicing calligraphy, and Zhang Bao was watching from the sidelines.

"His Royal Highness's pen is full of flowers, each stroke is as smooth as the clouds and flowing water of his peers, but there is the strength of an iron painting and a silver hook, this kind of calligraphy cultivation really makes the lower officials admire." Zhang Bao praised while watching.

Shi Shi gently put away the pen, stood up, looked at his work, nodded with satisfaction, put down the pen in his hand, and instructed his subordinates: "Keep it well, take it another day and ask someone to frame it." ”

"Yes!" The subordinate carefully carried the letter, and did not dare to be careless because the ink had not dried.

"You just came to me, is there any new news?" Shi Shi asked as he washed his hands.

Zhang Bao replied: "I just got the news that Wen Cang led people to block the post house. ”

"What? The inn is sealed? Shi Shi was a little surprised, and asked, "Today, Murong Jun's kid just sent the table of descent, why did he block the post house?" ”

"The lower officials are not too clear, since this matter is personally led by Wen Cang to the forbidden army, it must be His Majesty's intention."

"I really don't know what my father is planning to do, the Central Plains has been fighting for many years, and the people are not making a living, and now it is not easy to temporarily make Xianbei succumb, and come to such a trick." Shi Shi shook his head helplessly, and asked again, "What about Murong Jun and the others now?" ”

"It's just a blockade, it's not caught, it should be in the post house."

"I think my father is old and confused, so that the grudge with the Xianbei people will never be resolved." Shi Shi said, walked out of the house, and suddenly turned around and asked Zhang Bao: "How are the people you sent to spy on Gao Shang these days?" Did you find anything? ”

Zhang Bao shook his head, sighed, and said, "Nothing has been found. ”

"This king has said a long time ago, this person is an old fool, what are you wasting time on him?"

"It's because everything is too normal because he thinks it's not normal!"

"What do you mean by that? Normally, do you still think there is something wrong with him? Shi Shi felt that Zhang Bao was a little inexplicable.

"Xia Guan just thinks ......"

"Okay, don't say anything more what do you think, this king asks you, what has been the recent movement on King Qing's side?"

Shi Shi's temperament has also changed since Lord Liang entered the palace, and he began to be a little irritable, Zhang Bao could only endure it a lot, and replied with a smile: "There is nothing abnormal, it's just that I have been running into the palace recently." ”

"He wants to impress his father and ask him not to go to Li Cheng again this year, right?"

"Your Highness is right, it is said that Your Majesty is a little moved, and has not mentioned the matter of letting King Qing return to Licheng, at this time in previous years, but it has been said many times, but this year it has not been mentioned at all, it seems that Liu Guifei has made a lot of efforts."

"If you let him stay in the capital, it will be even more difficult for the king to win the heir, you still have to think of a way, you can't let him stay in Yecheng." Shi Shi said with a frown.

Zhang Bao smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to be nervous, the lower officials have a post house method, even if King Qing stays in Yecheng, he may not have an advantage." ”

"Oh? What's the solution? Shi Shi suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

"If King Qing stays in Yecheng, we will find a way to get His Majesty to cut off his military power in Licheng, in this way, King Qing will be equivalent to breaking an arm, and he will have no military power in his hands, and his strength will definitely be greatly damaged."

Shi Shi sneered and asked rhetorically, "How can my father listen to you?" How can tens of thousands of horses and horses be cut down? Lord Zhang, what you said is not on the spectrum at all. ”

Zhang Bao smiled and said: "It is true that the military power will not be changed easily, but in the final analysis, the world is still Your Majesty's, and whether the military power is taken back or not depends entirely on Your Majesty's thoughts, it depends on what kind of reason we find at that time, when and what kind of occasion to tell Your Majesty about this matter." ”

Shi Shi looked at Zhang Bao with a confident look on his face and asked, "Could it be that you already have any ideas?" ”

Zhang Bao nodded and said: "Take precautions for everything, the lower officials have already made plans for Your Majesty, and when the time comes, the lower officials will think about it for Your Highness, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry for the time being." ”

"That's fine." Shi Shi nodded, and asked again: "Just now I said about Liu Guifei, this king only remembered now, Liu Yuanzhi hasn't been here for a while, why does he seem to be deliberately avoiding this king recently?" ”

"Maybe it's because of Concubine Liu, he feels shameless to face His Highness, so he didn't come over, and besides, His Majesty ordered him to investigate the assassination in Wolong Mountain, he is also busy, and it is estimated that there is also a reason for this."

"Liu Yuanzhi is too upright, you can talk to him another day, since his sister and him are their own masters, this king is not suspicious of employing people, and he doesn't need to be suspicious, so he doesn't have to be suspicious."

"His Royal Highness is open-minded, and the officials admire him." Zhang Bao praised with a smile.

"Okay, Lord Zhang, today this king forgot to congratulate you, in the early dynasty, the father of the palace has appointed you as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how about it? This king said that he had done it, right? ”

"Your Majesty Thank You, Your Majesty, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring." Zhang Bao hurriedly made a big salute.

"It's good that you know in your heart, all this king wants is your loyalty."

"His Majesty has always been loyal to His Highness!" Zhang Bao said with an oath.

Shi Shi smiled and did not speak. Zhang Bao asked with some hesitation: "Your Highness, the lower official still wants to ask the Lord of Liang about something." ”
