Chapter 219: Fighting Strength and Suppressing People, Promoting Officials in a Proper Way (II)
It's really His Royal Highness the Prince!
Whether you know Zhu Houzhao or not, Xu Xun's voice about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a fake. Looking at Zhang Zong, who was still angry just now, said that after being stunned, he actually knelt down with a sad face, where would the others have any doubts. Those hereditary officers of the Jinyi Guard were carefully selected by Xu Xun, although they were tired after standing for so long, they had to hold their heads high at this moment, and they couldn't show their best spirits one by one, and Wang Shikun, Xu Yanche, Qi Jiliang, these three, of course, would not learn from the unlucky Zhang Zongshuo, and they all cheered up for a while.
So, Zhang Zong, who was kneeling there, said that he looked extremely helpless and pitiful, but no one had the time to sympathize with him at this moment. Especially when Xu Xun read out the twenty years of practicing lazy military sticks, Wang Shikun even grinned gloatingly.
"Well, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!" Although Zhu Houzhao is now polite to his two uncles, he doesn't think much of those cousins, because he feels that Zhang Zong said that he has lost his face, he is even more angry, and he opened his mouth to burst out such a clear sentence that few people dare to put on his lips now, and then looked at Xu Xun and said, "Xu Xun, if you should be beaten, you will be punished, this prince wants brave warriors, not those pus-filled soft eggs!" ”
Zhang Zong said that although he was two years older than Zhu Houzhao, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw this prince's cousin like a mouse and a cat, and when he heard Zhu Houzhao's cruel words, he was even more frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Highness, the minister knows that he is wrong, the minister knows that he is wrong, and I beg His Highness to see that the minister is young and ignorant and makes a mistake for the first time, and the minister is ...... this time."
"What is kowtow, it's useless, I'm not your boss, this military regulation is military regulation, whoever violates it will be punished! Xu Xun, don't you say? ”
Xu Xun had expected that Zhang Zong would be the first to be the one who couldn't hold on, if Zhu Houzhao couldn't come, he really planned to give people a little color, but now that the prince is here, doing so is suspected of deliberately taking advantage of the situation to oppress people. So, after thinking about it, he walked to Zhu Houzhao's side and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really rewards and punishes clearly!" However, if this is the first time, it is better to forgive him this time. But the pain of flesh and skin can be avoided, but it cannot be punished, after today's practice, let him copy a hundred pages, how about it? ”
After saying this, before Zhu Houzhao could speak, he lowered his voice again and said: "Your Highness, you have to save some face for the queen mother and the marquis of Shouning, otherwise the dignified prince will be stripped of his pants and beaten on the board, and the two of them will not look good." ”
"Well, according to you!"
Zhu Houzhao only hated Zhang Zong for saying that he was going to be lazy and take out his prince as a backer, and he was going to beat his board in a hurry, but Xu Xun took Queen Zhang out, and he could only give up for the time being, but as soon as his eyes rolled, he added: "But 100 pages is not enough, copy 200 pages first to set an example, practice as usual, let him light the lamp at night and copy!" Also, he was not allowed to leave Xiyuan without permission in the past few days, lest he go home and find someone to write for him...... Zhang Zong said, you be honest with Prince Ben, I know your handwriting! ”
Although he escaped the 20th board, Zhang Zong, who stood up, said that when he thought of the 200-page book, he only felt like crying for a while. And Xu Xun saw that Zhu Houzhao was coming, so he naturally wouldn't let him just watch such a boring military posture training, and after ordering Zhang Zong to say that he was in the queue, he just ordered Ma Qiao to rest for a while, and then took Zhu Houzhao to the place where he used to give lectures to the young soldiers.
Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, who were accompanying them, were busy with Zhang Luo's chair tea, and Xu Xun couldn't help but smile at what he had just said: "Your Highness is really a tiger, Zhang Zong said that such an arrogant surname, His Highness will be honest immediately when he drinks it." ”
"Of course, don't look at him being honest in front of me and Shou Ninghou, this kid is also a bully outside, once I happened to bump into him and oppressed goodness, I quietly let people teach him a hard lesson!" Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Xu Xun obliquely, "Only Liu Jin and Zhang Yong know about this matter, don't say it, the queen mother was angry that time, and Shuntianfu Yin was beaten by the boss!" ”
Sure enough, it's a mountain and a mountain high!
Seeing that Liu Jin and Zhang Yong were all right, as if Zhu Houzhao was not mentioning the two of them, Xu Xun couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but he praised the little marquis for his cleverness seriously. And this little marquis evoked Zhu Houzhao's memories in the past, and then complained: "It's Zhang Zong who said that this pustule ruined my reputation, I think when I followed Wang Shouren to learn archery, my hands were blistered, and I didn't practice there without saying a word, where is it so useless like him!" I knew that I wouldn't use his name as the prince of Shouning, it's a shame for me! ”
"Yes, yes, if Your Highness hadn't studied so hard, how could he have been stunning in front of so many elders last time?"
"Of course, as long as I get serious, what's the matter!" Thinking of the dumbfounded appearance of the ministers as soon as he appeared at that time, Zhu Houzhao's heart immediately itched, Huo Ran stood up and shouted, "You weren't in the palace a few days ago, I forgot!" Hurry up, race me again, that time I actually lost to you, and this time I will turn it back no matter what! ”
"Okay, but His Royal Highness takes Father-in-law Liu and Father-in-law Zhang, can I go and ask two people to witness it?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to show off his archery skills in front of others, and when he heard this, he immediately said nothing and nodded in agreement. When he hurriedly took Liu Jin and Zhang Yong to the long gallop road behind, he waited for a long time before he saw Xu Xun coming with two people in a hurry. The first one he knew was Wang Shikun, the brother-in-law of Wei Guogong, but he had never seen another strong man at all. But he didn't care about it at all, and urged him to start. Seeing that Wang Shikun and the strong man, as well as Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, went to set up the target and made all the preparations, he grabbed the treasure bow on the side without saying a word.
Half an hour later, the group returned to the inner school field. Zhu Houzhao, who was in high spirits at the beginning, held his breath at this time, and peeked at Xu Xun with a wicked smile, he couldn't help but snort at him: "It's unfortunate that this prince has lost his front hoof, and he will make you proud for a while!" ”
"Yes, yes, the minister just played at a super level, and then he was lucky to win His Highness's arrow."
In front of outsiders, Xu Xun naturally did not lose his duty as a courtier, and responded with a smile. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao turned his head away angrily as if he was about to leave, he took two quick steps to catch up, but said softly: "Having said that, this time the matter of the avant-garde of the two thousand government troops, the minister also wants to discuss it with His Royal Highness." Now that there are more people, the commander and the commander can not be set up for the time being, but there are thousands of households. The minister planned to set up 2,000 people as the left and right battalions, the left battalion was based on the previous 500 people, and the 1,000 households were temporarily managed by Ma Qiao, which was the big black man. As for the right camp, it is mainly based on the people who are newly transferred this time, plus Wang Shikun and the hundreds of noble households, so it is difficult to choose the candidates for these thousand households. After thinking about it, he planned to entrust Qian Ning. ”
"Who is Channing? This prince thinks that Wang Shikun is very good, he is clever, unlike Zhang Zong, who only knows how to bully people! ”
Xu Xun caught a glimpse of Qian Ning, who had just run forward and walked without a single superfluous word, his face was full of disbelief, and his face was gloomy until Zhu Houzhao spoke out against it, while Wang Shikun was surprised, at this time, he said with a smile: "Shikun is clever and practiced, of course it is good, but the experience is inevitably a little lacking." As for Qian Ning, he just reported the target to His Royal Highness, and the hereditary hundred households have a real ability, and he is a little older, stable and proper. ”
"Oh!" Zhu Hou took care of Qian Ning, and saw that he was really tall and big, so he couldn't help tilting his head in front of him for a moment, and then he bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, the person you fancy must not be bad." As for Wang Shikun......"
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Shikun, and then said with a smile: "Wang Shikun, Xu Xun said so, this time I have to let you suffer." However, 2,000 people in the vanguard of the Hengzhu Mansion Army are not enough in any case, you are so busy practicing, next time you will expand the number of 1,000 people to come in, I will let you be a thousand households, and you don't need any acting, just take up your post! If Xu Xun still refuses, I will call the shots for you! ”
Wang Shikun was still a little depressed when he heard Xu Xun push out the opportunity that came to his lips, but when Zhu Houzhao said this, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him. At this time, Xu Xun kicked Qian Ning quietly, and when he saw someone plopping, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, and he didn't realize that the corners of his mouth were raised.
"Qian Ning, don't let down Xu Xun's recommendation to you! Zhang Zong said those guys, you can practice as much as you want, and if they don't look good when the time comes, I will only ask you! ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will do his best, and he will never dare to slack off!"
For Qian Ning, who kowtowed repeatedly, Zhu Houzhao nodded indispensably, and sighed when he looked at the sky: "Okay, it's time to go back again." Tomorrow is a test in the morning, and I have to endorse in the evening, if only the endorsement was as interesting as archery......"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao walking forward with his hands behind his back, Liu Jin chased after him, while Zhang Yong took a look at the gap and said to Xu Xun: "Isn't this little Mongolian prince fighting more and more?" Miao Gong is just in the Kejin drill camp, hoping to partner with Baoguo Gong again and lead the troops together. The prince must hurry up and train the vanguard of these two thousand government troops, and when the time comes, he will really send troops, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will say, you can pull the team out and follow them for a trip is the credit of the boss, don't miss such a good opportunity! ”
Seeing the East Palace Master gradually moving away from the three of them, Xu Xun pondered Zhang Yong's proposal to mix military merits, and was thinking in his heart whether this was Zhang Yong's own idea, or if there was already a rumor somewhere, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"My lord, if you can really get ahead, you will never forget the grace of your lord!"
Turning his head and seeing that it was Qian Ning still kneeling there, only this time he was kowtowing to him, Xu Xun immediately stepped forward and helped the person up, and said with a smile: "I gave you the opportunity, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also seen it, as long as you work hard, there will be a rise in the future." But if you can't take this opportunity, then there will be no next time. ”
"Yes, yes, the humble position must live up to the support of the adults!"
The few words aroused Qian Ning's full energy, Xu Xun sent the person back first, and then looked at Wang Shikun and said with a smile: "What, you won't blame me for giving the opportunity directly to others, right?" ”
"At first, I was puzzled, but as soon as I heard His Royal Highness the Prince's words, I understood, this calculation is simply amazing!" Although Wang Shikun was also stiff at the stop just now, Zhu Houzhao's words stirred up his spirits, "What is a thousand households, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that I am at a loss, and there will be such compensation in the future, I really make a lot of money!" If it was really me who took the lead, Zhang Zong said that he would not obey me in the first place, let alone Xu Yanche Qi Jiliang! I don't wade into these troubled waters! ”
"If only you understood!" Xu Xun knew what kind of person Wang Shikun was in his bones, and said meaningfully at the moment, "All in all, let Qian Ning clean them up, you just need to write down these few days of training with your heart, and when the time comes, when the young army is selected, you will use the same method to train them." These things are boring and tiring, but they are most effective when it comes to pinching scattered people together. ”
