Chapter 5 II Summons

Chang Miao.

Hearing Liu Yan say this name, the emperor's eyes narrowed into a line.

Liu Yutong, the emperor of the Silk Country, is now fifty-two years old, and his hair is almost completely white due to his long years of state affairs, and he looks ten years older than his actual age. Liu Yutong looked at his son, the only prince. Among his many sons, only this one looks the most like his grandfather, the Holy Ancestor Emperor of the year. And he was born with divine power, which is the same as that of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, so there have always been rumors in the palace that the crown prince is the reincarnation of the Holy Ancestor Emperor. Today, he summoned his son alone to discuss the Liaodong rebellion, and he did have the intention of examining his ability to deal with national affairs, and Liu Yan's response plan was quite satisfactory, but he was taken aback by the choice of the marshal of the crusade army.

"Chang Miao? If I'm not mistaken, he's just a tiger in the middle of a tiger, right? ”

"Exactly, Father," replied Liu Yan, "this man is from a martial arts family of all generations, but he does not like to practice martial arts, prefers to study the art of war, so his martial arts are mediocre, and he is despised by the people in the family." Therefore, although he has a prominent family background, he has not been promoted to the official for a long time. ”

"Illustrious family?" Liu Yutong was a little puzzled.

Seeing that his father was puzzled, Liu Yan hurriedly added: "Father, his great-grandfather was the British Gongchang Kun Chang Haitian. ”

"Oh, Master Chang, I saw him a few times when I was a child." Liu Yutong heard that he was a British family, and he was much relieved. The British Duke followed the Holy Ancestor Emperor Rongma all his life, and eleven of his fourteen sons sacrificed their lives for the country, which can be said to be a loyal martyr.

"Father, this person is the queen of Jiangmen, also known as unknown, just in the name of Gu Nian Zhongliang, he was promoted to the general of Beiping, so that Cheng Yun will not be suspicious. And his father secretly gave him a tiger talisman to control Youji and the soldiers and horses of the three states, so that Chengyun was caught off guard. ”

Liu Yutong listened and nodded slightly: "What the emperor said is very lonely, but whether this Chang Miao can be qualified for the post of commander-in-chief of the crusading army, I still have to see in person." ”

"Yes, Father Mingjian." Liu Yan gave a deep salute, he knew that his father's test of himself had been successfully passed.

Hu Ben Zhonglang Chang Miao, the word Gongxiao, is now Chinese New Year's Eve five years old. For a warrior, he is still tall, but not strong enough. In addition to archery, the martial arts of Pingsheng are just mediocre, and they are also an outlier in the entire family. has passed the age of establishment, but he is still just a small Zhonglang, if it were not for the hereditary British Duke of the clan, I am afraid that he will not even be able to mix this position, so he has become one of the most unproductive children and grandchildren in the family. But he himself didn't care about this, in addition to studying the art of war and going out on a safari every day, he drank and had fun with a few close friends and talked about the general trend of the world. And he naturally didn't know that these behaviors of his had already entered Wu Sicheng's eyes.

Early this morning, Chang Miao had nothing to do after ordering, so he went out to visit friends. As soon as I walked into the square street, I was confronted by three men. Seeing the official uniform on the other party's body, Chang Miao knew that it was someone from the palace, so he stopped.

The three of them stepped forward and whispered: "This is Lord Chang Gongxiao, the Tiger Ben Zhonglang?" ”

Chang Miao saw that the situation was unusual, and said busily: "Xia Guan is exact, I don't know what the three adults have to say?" ”

Seeing this, the one led by Chang Miao took out an object from his arms, although Chang Miao had never seen it, he also knew that this was the emperor's royal thing - Panlong Jade Pendant, which was specially used for secret summoning. I saw that the man lowered his voice and said: "The emperor has decreed, Lord Xuanchang will enter the palace immediately to face the saint, please don't make a noise, come with me." After speaking, the two men under him had already stood behind Chang Miao.

Chang Miao saw this formation and knew that there must be something big. Seeing that these three were athletic, they were obviously the guards in the palace, and immediately said, "Please let the three adults lead the way." ”

Along the way, the three of them didn't say a word, they went straight to the imperial city, and led Chang Miao to the emperor's heart cultivation hall, and the three of them replied outside the hall that the person had been brought, and then retreated on their own. Chang Miao gently pushed open the door of the palace, only to see an old man in an imperial robe bowing his head to review the chapter, Chang Miao hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said loudly: "Long live my emperor Chang Miao." ”

Liu Yutong didn't look up, only said: "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty." Chang Miao stood up and stood aside.

Liu Yutong raised his eyes and looked at Chang Miao: I saw Chang Miao standing in the court in a down-to-earth manner, although his eyes could not look directly, but they were full of confidence, and he did not have the nervous trembling of ordinary people when they first met the saint. Liu Yutong nodded secretly in his heart, and said, "Do you know why I summoned you?" ”

Chang Miao smiled slightly. Although it happened suddenly, but along the way, he had already thought about all kinds of possibilities, and said: "Back to the emperor, the emperor suddenly secretly summoned a military attache with a humble position into the palace, presumably because there was a change in the side court, and the emperor intended to order Weichen to lead the army, right?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Yutong was shocked: This person is not good-looking, but the expectations are so accurate, could it be that this person is Liu Yan's henchman? Thinking of this, Liu Yutong said coldly: "When have you seen Yan'er?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince? Weichen has not had the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so far, I don't know where the emperor started to say this? Chang Miao looked suspicious.

Liu Yutong looked at Chang Miao's reaction and knew that Chang Miao's words were true. Then he said, "Then tell me how you deduced that I wanted you to lead the troops?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the emperor secretly summoned a military general into the palace, there must be a military problem and it is inconvenient to say it clearly; Today, Weichen went to point out, and saw that Hu Ben Zhonglang looked calm, but he knew that there was nothing to do in Beijing, so naturally there was a police in the side court; There are police officers in the side court who should discuss secretly with the prime minister and the military department, but the emperor summoned Weichen to a Zhonglang, if he didn't intend to order Weichen to lead the army, then he intended to order Weichen to be an assassin. Weichen's martial arts are mediocre, and the assassin can't do it, so Weichen asserted that he wanted Weichen to lead the army. ”

Liu Yutong smiled and said, "It's a bit interesting, although your inference is not complete, it is not far off." I didn't think that the British Duke had such a clever offspring as you, but it was very interesting. In this case, you come forward to take a look at this secret fold, I want to hear what Chang Aiqing thinks about it. ”

"Wechen obeys." Chang Miao saluted and strode towards the dragon case.
