The distance between summer and autumn is only a cold night.

Before the rain had fallen, a fire was lit in the hall. Xiao Huo licked the teapot of purple sand.

The old man muttered: "As soon as it is wet and cold on this day, this leg feels hard, and it hurts to bend down." ”

He sat by the fire, and it was only then that the pain on his face eased slightly. There were already two old men sitting on the stove, patiently waiting for the pot of tea on the stove to boil.

"Chen Zhice, you are blessed with a great fortune this time, if it weren't for the old decay to stop you, with your temper, it is estimated that in order to kill the rebellious ministers and thieves, you dare to take refuge in the eldest prince, if that is the case, it is estimated that you will be in a different place now."

The old man who had just sat down was none other than Chen Zhice. He thumped his waist, the hidden disease that Rong Ma had fallen all his life, every season was always painful.

"Humph! If the old man has 3,000 forbidden troops in his hands, dare to kill him, Zhao Defang's 5,000 rebels, and Lin Xiaozi, what is the matter! ”

Zhang Bentian on the side laughed and said, "Lin Lan didn't spend a single soldier to destroy five thousand enemies, let me ask you Chen Zhice has this ability?" ”

Chen Zhice was speechless, patted his knees and hesitated for a long time, and finally the bull nose gasped and said, "I don't talk nonsense with you." ”

Zhang Bentian and Wang Chuan laughed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Master Qin has returned to Shu, otherwise this big drama will also let him pass by. Wang Chuan laughed. They are all old ministers who have been up and down in officialdom, so it is naturally impossible to stand in line in advance before the emperor ascends the throne. An old minister like them would rather not be an official than have a posture of standing in line in advance, which is sophistication.

Wang Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "By the end of the year, it should look better on the accounts of this household." ”

Zhang Bentian said with a smile: "This trick of the saint is to put himself in the place of death and come back to life, it seems to be extremely thrilling, but in fact, he is confident, and he is really ashamed of himself." ”

"Heh, ashamed of yourself? Do you dare to compare with the saints? You are always stubborn and stubborn, one admonishes, two scolds, three resignations, like a girl. ”

"you! Old decay This is the backbone, the backbone of a scholar! ”

Wang Chuan laughed and said, "Okay, okay, the water is boiling, let's make tea, make tea." When Lin Xiaozi comes back from the palace, he will definitely blackmail him. Young and marquis, such a glorious ancestor, I'm afraid that Old General Chen won't be able to blush. ”

When Chen Zhice retreated to the second line, he was only awarded a third-class cavalry general, and even if he died, I am afraid that he would be a consoling marquis, without any substantive praise. The one who was crowned a marquis during his lifetime is definitely a red man around the saint, no matter how bad it is, he has to make outstanding achievements.

Zhang Bentian smiled and said: "However, this quelling of the chaos can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and it is even better than changing the dynasty." The extravagance and corruption in the DPRK and China have dissipated, and the two Huai salt roads have been purged, which can be regarded as both advantages and disadvantages. ”

Wang Chuan stroked his beard and smiled: "You and I have both resigned, and this disadvantage is not a disadvantage for us and others." ”

That's right, Zhao Han's move has somewhat chilled the hearts of officials in the DPRK and China, and maybe one day, there will be such a thing again. This time, for one reason or another, they have indefinitely delayed the time for their own standing, anyway, no matter who ascends the throne, they will not kill these officials who do not stand in line, at most they are alienated and excluded.

So what about the next one? Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, if you want to be famous and fortuneful, you have to walk on thin ice on this court.

"Drink tea and drink tea. After enjoying the peace, what are we worried about? ”

"Yes, yes, tea! This year, I still went back to Jinling, and the one-eyed dragon built the academy to be magnificent, and it was just right to retire. ”

Chen Zhice raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not going back to your hometown?" ”

Zhang Bentian's eyes darkened, and he muttered: "My wife's heir will go first, what are you doing back to that sad place?" It is better to enjoy your old age in Jinling Fugui Township. Haha, don't talk about it! There were tears in his cloudy eyes.

Wang Chuan sighed and said, "After all, it can't withstand the years." ”

……

……

Leaving the king in his body with ten thousand arrows and dying, Xiao Yucai fell from the building, the six capitals of Lingnan and Shandong were all sent to the prison, and all the reinforcements returned the same way, but the only one who was still in Beijing was the Xining army.

Several lieutenant generals waited anxiously outside the city, without him, Wu Zhongping, Zheng Qingnan and other Xining military brains were all in Beijing, and now the saint is in the court, and the four seas are stable, if their Xining army dares to cross the thunder pool half a step, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

"Vice General Liu, this Wu Shuai and General Zheng are trapped in Beijing, will there be any difference, in my opinion, it is better to lead the army to suppress the border and rescue Wu Shuai and General Zheng!"

Vice General Liu snorted coldly and said, "Do you want to die by yourself, don't drag the brothers into the water, and rebel?" Did Wu Shuai's words fall on deaf ears? If you don't enter Beijing, are you a bandit? ”

"yes." This Qianhu was a bandit on the West Mountain back then.

"......" Vice General Liu frowned, "Get out!" ”

"So what do you say? Just looking at Wu Shuai and General Zheng in the middle of nothing? ”

"Wait."

Vice General Liu squinted, he didn't believe it, no matter how much the saint didn't want to see Wu Shuai, he had to think about the wishes of the 100,000 Xining soldiers.

Once Wu Zhongping died, the 100,000 Xining army might become a plate of scattered sand. If the sand wants to gather again, it will be difficult.

……

……

There are fewer old faces and more newcomers in the palace. Some of the little eunuchs who had just been purified, under the leadership of those old eunuchs, were familiar with the affairs of the palace.

"When walking, keep your steps small, your steps fast and silent, your head slightly lowered, and your eyes don't look around! Really, you can't teach it no matter how you teach! ”

The little eunuch trembled and said, "Grandpa Hai, there are people on the side." ”

The old eunuch turned his head, and when he saw Wu Zhongping's ordinary face, he trembled, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen the king of Xining." ”

Wu Zhongping saw that the two eunuchs got out of the way, so he walked towards the main hall without making a sound. Cao Mink Temple came from nowhere, standing in front of Wu Zhongping, he also bowed slightly, but there was no other etiquette. In the eyes of an old monster like him, in addition to Zhao Han, it is estimated that only characters like Zhao Xiao and Wu Zhongping are worthy of him to owe such a bow.

"The Holy Lord will hold a banquet in Wu Garden, and invite the prince to come over and gather."

Wu Zhongping raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu Yuan? When was there a Wu Yuan in the palace? ”

Cao Mink Temple smiled slightly, "Newly established." ”

"Isn't it the cemetery of the Sprinkle family?"

Cao Mink Temple laughed, "The prince said he laughed. ”

"Haha."

Wu Zhongping strode towards the east. Coming to the palace today will naturally determine the fate of the Xining Army in the future. Zhao Han wiped out the king of Liu, cleared the residual poison in the court, and the last big trouble was him. Now that Mingzhe is protecting himself, this king of the opposite sex naturally has his calculations.
