Chapter 109: Father and Son
When Murong Ke heard this, he wanted to kill Shi Min immediately, but Murong Jun secretly grabbed his hand, and Murong Jun said in a low voice: "Don't move!" Bear with it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Murong Ke gritted his teeth, and was pulled behind by Murong Jun, only to see Murong Jun smile and say to Shi Hu and Shi Min: "This time I came to Zhao State, and I was able to meet the monarch of Shengming and the brave Prince Min, then I have no regrets about my trip to the Central Plains!" ”
"What's that? I ask you, does this horse have a name? Shi Hu pointed at Murong Jun and asked.
"Not yet!" Murong Jun replied with his head down.
"Is Your Majesty going to name this horse?" Shi Min asked a little excitedly.
Shi Hu nodded and said, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Shi Min shook his hand and pushed back: "No, no, no, it's better for Your Majesty to come up with this name!" ”
Shi Hu pinched his beard, thought for a moment, and muttered silently: "The whole body is vermilion, and the body shape is like a dragon......"
Shi Hu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It's called Zhu Longma!" Min, what do you think? ”
When Shi Min heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Zhu Longma! Good name! This horse is indeed mighty and deserving! Your Majesty is wise! ”
Shi Hu was naturally very happy in his heart, and said to Shi Min: "From today onwards, I will give you this Zhulong Horse!" In the future, this horse will be your mount, and in the future, you will fight on the battlefield, and don't forget what I expect from you! ”
"Your Majesty, is this true? Did this horse really give it to me? Shi Min almost jumped up in excitement.
"No jokes! Now that you can submit it, it's meant to be! You are the real owner of it! ”
"Shi Min thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Shi Min said, kneeling down and kowtowing to Shi Hu.
"That's it! Get up! Shi Hu raised his hand, and then said to Shi Zhan: "I gave this horse to Xiao Min, you won't be red-eyed, right?" ”
Shi Zhan smiled and said, "No, no, he is destined to fight for His Majesty in the future, and giving it to him can be regarded as making the best use of everything." ”
Shi Hu was very satisfied with the father and son, then looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not too early, let's get here today, Lao Jiu, arrange them all to the post house." ”
Shi Hu pointed to the two Murong brothers again, and obeyed Shi Zun's instructions.
"Son's Command!" Shi Zun stepped forward and bowed his head to Shi Hu and said.
Shi Hu nodded, turned to leave, and suddenly said to Shi Zhan: "Zhan'er, you come with me." ”
Shi Zhan nodded and said to Shi Min, "You go back to the barracks first." ”
"Yes!" Shi Min nodded silently.
After Shi Hu left, all the ministers congratulated and praised Shi Min, which made Shi Min a little embarrassed. Only Murong Ke was in the crowd, still staring at Shi Min directly, and he was ten thousand unconvinced.
"Gone!" Murong Jun gently nudged Murong Ke.
Murong Ke nodded and left after Murong Jun.
Shi Zhan followed Shi Hu to Hongguang Pavilion, Shi Hu waved his hand, retreated left and right, Lu An and the others obediently walked out, and closed the door of Hongguang Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, ...... you are" Shi Zhan looked at Shi Hu with some confusion.
Shi Hu stretched out his hand, interrupted Shi Zhan's words, and said, "Sit down and say." ”
Shi Zhan said with some embarrassment: "The injuries on my body are not healed yet, so Erchen still won't sit." ”
Shi Hu had already sat down, glanced up at Shi Zhan, sighed, and said, "Now you and I, father and son, I want to tell you some truth, can't you be willing to talk to me?" ”
Shi Zhan was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while.
Shi Hu saw Shi Zhan stunned and asked, "Did you hear what I said?" ”
"I heard it, if my father has anything to say, just say it." Shi Zhan hurriedly replied.
"Among my sons, you are the only one who is second to none in terms of martial arts and talent, but unfortunately you are not my biological son, nor is you the bloodline of Emperor Taizu, Zhan'er, do you know what I mean?" Shi Hu was unusually gentle, looked at Shi Zhan and asked.
Shi Zhan took a deep breath and nodded: "Erchen understands, and Erchen knows that he is not that material, so my father doesn't have to accommodate my thoughts." ”
Shi Hu shook his hand and said: "I know that you have no intention of fighting for the storage position, but I still have to tell you in the front, your merits and talents, I see it, although I can't pass it on to you, but I can ensure that you and your descendants have endless glory and wealth, which can be regarded as compensation for you." ”
Shi Zhan frowned slightly, and said: "Father, if you have any instructions, just say it, the son will definitely go to the soup and the fire, and he will not hesitate!" ”
Shi Hu suddenly got up and stood up, and said slowly: "Recently, I have been sick for a while, although I have been recuperating a lot these days, but the years are not forgiving, I know that time is short, and the matter of establishing a reserve has never been determined. ”
"Father, don't be so pessimistic, your dragon body ......"
"You listen to me first!" Shi Hu interrupted Shi Zhan's words again, and continued: "Now the two of Lao Jiu and Lao Er have fought for the storage position, in fact, I know that what I am worried about is that in the future, one of them will definitely cause great dissatisfaction with the other, if this is the case, it may cause disputes within the Zhao State, and it will inevitably give the surrounding Xiongnu and Xianbei an opportunity, do you understand?" ”
"Erchen understands!" Shi Zhan nodded and replied.
"That's why I called you here today, just because I want you to make a promise." Shi Hu walked up to Shi Zhan, looked at him solemnly and said.
"What promise?" Shi Zhan seemed to have guessed what Shi Hu meant.
"In the future, no matter who I pass on the throne to, you must resolutely support him and keep the Central Plains for the Zhao State." Shi Hu's right hand patted Shi Zhan's shoulder, his eyes full of trust.
"This ......"
"Don't worry, I will leave you a holy decree, and the title of Marquis of Xihua can be inherited from generation to generation to ensure your glory, how about it?" Shi Zhan's face showed an expression of anticipation for the first time.
Shi Zhan hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded silently, because he really didn't know how to refuse Shi Hu's words face to face.
Seeing Shi Zhan nodding, Shi Hu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, patted Shi Zhan with a smile, and then sat back in his seat.
"I wonder if my father has considered who to make the crown prince?" Shi Zhan asked in a low voice.
Shi Hu just sat down, sighed, and said, "I haven't decided yet, so I won't tell you, it's hard for me to make a decision for a while." ”
"The establishment of the prince is related to the foundation of the country, and the father must make a decision as soon as possible. Although Erchen is not in the court all the year round, he can occasionally hear some rumors, and he can determine the successor as soon as possible, so as to calm people's hearts. Shi Zhan said cautiously.
"I'd like to hear your opinion on the matter of Lichu."
Shi Zhan frowned, and said slowly: "Erchen doesn't dare to say anything, it's better for my father to make a decision in this matter." ”
"You boldly say that I forgive you for your innocence, and today you and I stepped out of this door, and I will treat you as if you have not said anything, how about it?" Shi Hu looked at Shi Zhan with a firm look in his eyes and assured him.
"To be honest, Erchen doesn't know much about political affairs, and Lichu doesn't dare to say anything, but one thing Erchen can say for sure that in comparison, King Liqing is not as good as King Liyan."
"Oh? Why is that? King Qing is brave and strategic, but he is a little impatient. Shi Hu thought for a moment, and then said: "As for the second child, he has a weak personality and a good nature, but he lacks the decisiveness of the king. ”
"King Qing is indeed brave and resourceful, but he also has some bad intentions, and Erchen feels that he is not suitable to be a king at this point. The Central Plains is now in need of recuperation, King Qing does not understand the suffering of the people, if he succeeds to the throne, he must do things according to his own character, and it is inevitable that the tyranny will be avoided, and in the long run, it will cause the people in the world to be angry, and the foundation created by His Majesty and Emperor Taizu is likely to be ruined, so the sons have the courage to ask Your Majesty to consider carefully! ”
"I see what you mean!" Shi Hu gritted his teeth and nodded silently.
