After Shi Min came back from the palace, he was overjoyed, so he ordered someone to hang the goose feather armor in his room, and he had to look at the goose feather armor every day to fall asleep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One morning a few days later, Shi Min was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, when someone suddenly came to report: "Childe, the general has sent someone to deliver a letter back." ”

When Shi Min heard that his father had sent a letter, he hurriedly grabbed his subordinates and asked, "Where is the person?" ”

"It's in the antechamber."

Shi Min ran quickly to the front hall, the messenger was a general, who was drinking tea, seeing Shi Min running over, he hurriedly put down the teacup and raised his hand to Shi Min to salute: "The last general has seen the son." ”

Shi Min pressed the general's hand and asked, "What did my father say in the letter?" How's the battle going ahead? ”

"Hui Gongzi, the general is busy with affairs, only sent the last general to send a message, our army has completely annihilated Xianbei Dugu Nanxin and his subordinates in the Snow Wolf Valley, the army has recently returned to the court, the general is fine, Gongzi does not have to worry."

"That's good, come here, take this general down to rest, and entertain him."

"The last general thanked the son." Said the messenger.

Shi Min smiled slightly and replied: "It's hard work, you are not only my father's subordinate, but also my Shi Min's friend, you should be, the general doesn't have to be polite, go ahead." ”

The sender looked grateful, respectfully saluted, and then took his leave.

"Childe, this is really good news!" The subordinate said happily on the side.

"That's right, this time my father went on an expedition for nearly a year, and finally defeated Dugu Nanxin, it's really great news, I want to enter the palace and tell Your Majesty the good news." Shi Min said and ran out happily.

At this time, in the palace, Shi Hu was watching the good news sent back by Shi Zhan, and the prime minister Gao Shangzhi and Zhang Bao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were standing aside.

"Good! Well played! Shi Hu suddenly flicked the good news with his fingers, and then threw it to Gao Shangzhi, saying: "You also see, this battle Shi Zhan fought really beautifully, and he lived up to my expectations of him." ”

Gao Shangzhi picked up the letter, took it and read it with Zhang Bao, the two nodded silently while reading, and Shi Hu stroked his beard happily.

"How?" Shi Hu asked the two.

"Weichen congratulates Your Majesty, General Shi is really brave and invincible, this is the blessing of Your Majesty and the blessing of the world." Gao Shangzhi hurriedly flattered Shi Hu.

"Go, go, I don't like to listen to you, a sour Confucian, crepe." Shi Hu waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, Min Gongzi asks to see you." Outside the door, a eunuch came in to report it.

"It's just in time, he probably doesn't know the good news yet, so announce him in."

Shi Min ran in in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Your Majesty, my grandson has good news to tell you." ”

"Master Gao and Master Zhang are also there." Shi Min saw that the prime minister and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites were there, so he hurriedly saluted.

Gao Shangzhi and Zhang Bao also hurriedly greeted: "I've seen Min Gongzi." ”

Shi Min nodded slightly, then turned around and said to Shi Hu, "Your Majesty, I have to tell you good news. ”

"Oh? Don't say it yet, I also have good news for you, listen to me first! Shi Hushen mysteriously gave the noble envoy a look, and the noble heart comprehended it and handed the good news to Shi Min.

Shi Min took the good news, looked at it a few times, and asked happily: "Your Majesty, you already know that your father won the battle?" ”

"Haha, it seems that you also know, this is the good news that your father sent someone to the palace just now, and your father has led the army to annihilate Dugu Nanxin a few days ago."

"Hmmm! That's great news! Shi Min nodded vigorously, and then asked, "Your Majesty, did my father say when he would return to Yecheng?" ”

"Your father said in his letter that the army was still resting a few days ago, and now it should be on the way back, and he said that he will arrive in Yecheng on the fifteenth of this month."

"Fifteen? Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which means that my father will arrive in ten days! Shi Min carefully looked at the contents of the letter again, and indeed arrived in Yecheng on the fifteenth of this month.

"That's right! Then you will come with me to the gate of the city to meet your father's triumph. ”

"Grandson understood! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

"Okay, this time your father has been on the expedition to Xianbei for more than half a year, presumably it is also a meal and sleeping, and it is very hard, you go back in a few days, and order someone to clean up the mansion and wait for your father to come back."

"This is natural, Sun Er understands, then Sun Er will retire, so he will not bother His Majesty to talk about business with Lord Gao and Lord Wu."

"Okay, okay, you step down, come to the palace in two days, and I will take you to ride a horse."

"Yes." Shi Min smiled a little playfully and withdrew.

Shi Hu saw Shi Min go out, and said with a solemn face: "Come, let's continue the topic just now, what do you two have to say about the establishment of the crown prince?" ”

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why did you suddenly consider the matter of establishing a prince?" The Ministry of Rites asked silently.

"In the prime of life? Lao Tzu is 60 years old this year, Emperor Taizu is brave, but he was taken away by heaven at the age of 61, if I don't think about the matter of establishing a prince now, when will I think about it? Blind your dog's eyes! ”

"The minister thinks that the establishment of the reserve is related to the general trend of the country, and the minister does not dare to speak falsely." Gao Shangzhi said.

"Fuck you!" Shi Hu angrily picked up the teacup and threw it over.

"Your Majesty said yes." Gao Shangzhi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"What is? You cunning old and cunning thing, every time you ask your opinion at a critical moment, you always suffer from gains and losses, talk and spit out, get out! Shi Hu slapped the table hard, saliva spraying.

"Yes......" Gao Shangzhi hurriedly retreated.

"It's really getting more and more useless, Zhang Bao, you can talk about it."

"The minister thinks that the establishment of the prince is the foundation of the country, and the matter is too big to be hasty ......"

"Don't talk a bunch of nonsense, get to the point!" Shi Hu said impatiently.

"Yes......" Zhang Bao swallowed his saliva and continued: "Although the eldest and youngest are orderly, the eldest prince is disabled, and his mobility is inconvenient, and if he is a king, he will lose the royal majesty, and it is not suitable to be a prince. ”

"Oh? Tell me, how are these two guys? Shi Hu frowned, slightly curious.

"The second son, Corporal Lixian, is humble and kind, if he is a king, he must be a benevolent monarch, but he is timid and cowardly by nature, indecisive in trouble, and has not inherited His Majesty's decisiveness and ability. The Nine Princes have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their military exploits are unmatched among the princes, and they are brave but have too much killing spirit, and they are stubborn and self-serving. ”

"I didn't expect that you, a little waiter of the Ministry of Rites, actually know my son better than me."

"Your Majesty, the minister has spoken in vain, please forgive your Majesty." Zhang Bao was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Get up, I don't blame you." Shi Hu raised his hand and motioned for Zhang Bao to get up, then frowned and asked, "Zhang Bao, I ask you, am I really a tyrant?" Why are you all so afraid of me? ”

"Your Majesty's majesty is the power of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers are all laymen, so they are in awe of Your Majesty."

"Hmph, I know, you all scold me in your hearts!"

"The minister didn't dare to ......" Zhang Bao almost knelt on the ground again.

"Okay, okay, I ask you, then who do you think is more suitable for the second and ninth children?"

"At present, Zhao State is based on the Central Plains, since the rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Central Plains has been a poor livelihood, and the war is continuous, if Your Majesty wants to protect the future generations, you should practice benevolent government, let the people rest and recuperate, and when the country is strong and the soldiers are rich, you can plot the world at that time."

"You mean to pick the second?" Shi Hu asked in a low voice.

Zhang Bao nodded silently and did not answer directly.

Shi Hu scratched his head and asked, "Didn't you say just now that the second child has a cowardly personality and lacks decisiveness?" ”

"The second son is indeed timid and cowardly, but he has a good heart, as long as His Majesty chooses an upright and capable auxiliary minister for him, he can make up for the lack of character of the second son."

"I know, you can step back for now." Shi Hu waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Bao to step back.

"The minister retired." Zhang Bao bowed, then turned to leave.
