Chief Officer!

Liu Jin was already numb to Zhu Houzhao's casual wish to seal the official, after all, not long ago in the carriage, the little emperor almost promised Xu Xun a military department book to go out. Fortunately, there was a fork in the matter, and when he arrived at the embroidery village, he discussed other things, otherwise Zhu Houzhao would have ordered someone to go to the cabinet to pass the decree as soon as he returned to the palace.

Xu Xun really didn't see Liu Jin squinting at himself at this time, in fact, Zhu Houzhao's sudden jump in thinking shocked him all of a sudden. On the contrary, Xu Liang, who had been just sitting silently and listening, was stunned for a moment when the topic suddenly turned to him, and then quickly stood up.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done!"

"Why can't you do it, even if you are not skilled enough in arching and horses, but this chief military officer is not going to go to the battlefield in person, I will send you a lot of troops, and transfer a few more battle-hardened generals to you, and when the time comes, the Tartars will be gone, and the head of this military merit will be yours!" The more Zhu Houzhao thought about his plan, the more appropriate it became, and an excited expression appeared on his face for a while, "At that time, look at what those verbose old guys have to say!" ”

Seeing Xu Xun's expression that was obviously struggling with how to advise, Xu Liang pondered for a moment and then said: "The emperor is very loving, and the micro-ministers are inscribed." Although Weichen is old, he is confident that he is still skilled in bow horses, if the emperor wants to be brave, the minister fights this age, this brute force, and his self-confidence is not inferior to others! ”

After saying this, Xu Liang suddenly reached out to the bottom of the bluestone table, slammed his arms, and let out a loud shout, followed by him, only to see that the muscles of his arms suddenly rose a lot, and the whole extremely heavy bluestone table actually left the base and stayed firmly in his arms. Without waiting for the startled Zhu Houzhao to come back to his senses, Xu Liang put down his hand, only to hear the bluestone thump and return to the pedestal. At this time, he took a few strong breaths to calm his mind, and bowed deeply.

"It's just that the emperor wants a brave general is very simple, the selection in the army, the selection of a hundred out of ten thousand, one out of a hundred, there is always a strong force, but it is easy to ask for a brave and strategic one who can really lead the troops? In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, how many of the three armies of Yongguan died on the battlefield! The minister has brute strength since childhood, and he is skilled in bows and horses, and now although he is not as young as he is, he is convinced that he can still beat most of the so-called warriors, but if he is so rash to fight, it is easy to kill a Tartar, and it is easy to kill ten, but to kill hundreds or thousands, he will not be able to catch it, because the minister's army is slightly sparse! The minister asked the emperor to take back his order, because the minister knew his own skills, and at most he led 1,800 people as a partial general, and the strength of the army was not caught, so he did not dare to joke with the surnames of the soldiers under his command. ”

Zhu Houzhao only knew that Xu Liang was kind, only knew that he made good dishes, only knew that he was an excellent father, and even envied Xu Xun's luck for a while, but it was the first time he saw Xu Liang show this skill, and he didn't react at the first time. At this moment, looking at Xu Liang, who had been maintaining a bowing posture, he finally came back to his senses, stepped forward and helped the person up with both hands, but turned his head to look at Xu Xun again.

"Xu Xun, you have a good father!" Putting down this sentence, he looked at Xu Liangdao again, "Xing Anbo, Lao Tzu is a hero, this is really true, you actually have such ability, I underestimated you in the past!" If there is a chance in the future, I will let you go on the expedition, will you dare to respond? ”

"Why don't you dare?"

"Yes, great!"

Zhu Houzhao came out angrily today, but Xu Xun solved the incident, and then there was such an unexpected gain, he only felt an incomparable joy, and the gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by unconcealed happiness. Looking at the sky, he was about to say that he would stay in Xing'an Bo Mansion for dinner, but Liu Jin on the side immediately reminded him knowingly: "Your Majesty, when we came out today, we told the Queen Mother that we were going to Shouning Hou's Mansion." ”

"Ah, yes, yes!" Although he was a little excited, Zhu Hou looked at Xu Liang and Xu Xun, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled, "That's it, Hengzhu Shou Ninghou is not an outsider, you go with me to ......"

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jianchang is also coming today, and there are still female dependents in ......"

Zhu Houzhao, who was interrupted by Liu Jin again, was slightly annoyed, it can be seen that the old eunuch squeezed his eyes at him again and again, he thought about it, and finally reluctantly retracted this meaning. When Xu Liang and Xu Xun sent him out, as soon as he got in the car, he motioned for Liu Jin to follow, and when another middle-aged eunuch sat in the coachman's position, the curtain was lowered again, and he said to Liu Jin dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by the look of the gods and ghosts and the eyes of me just now?" ”

"Has the emperor forgotten the incident that the Queen Mother mentioned to you just now?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows inexplicably, and when he saw Liu Jin make a vague gesture, he suddenly realized: "Ah, I forgot that the queen mother said that she would marry Jingxuan's sister to Xu Xun!" Yes, yes, yes, I really can't let them go over today, if Shou Ninghou really mentions it, I will refuse him in person, and the queen mother will be angry again...... Sister Jingxuan has the most idea, so I'll just go and tell her that she chooses a man by herself, and I will marry her! ”

Liu Jin listened to this unbelievable idea, and could only secretly recite Amitabha Buddha in his heart, but he had to praise Zhu Houzhao's wonderful idea in his mouth. It's just that when he thought that Xu Liang seemed to be a bad old man before, but in fact, he had always hidden it, he couldn't help smacking his tongue, and felt that the father and son were a perfect match.

He still has to be a father and son soldier to go into battle, and it seems that he should also go to find his own relatives! After all, blood is thicker than water, and people with this bloodline are more credible after all...... Seeing Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin leave, Xu Xun and Xu Liang from the second gate of Xing'an Bo Mansion pressed their chests and let out a long breath. Immediately after, the father and son looked at me, and saw that their postures were almost the same, and they couldn't help laughing. Xu Xun naturally reached out to help Xu Liang's arm, and laughed softly: "I almost became a chief soldier with just one sentence, how does my father feel?" ”

"Stinky boy, actually making fun of you old man!" Xu Liang was about to fight, and when he saw Xu Xun grinning and not dodging or dodging, he put down his hand and said, "I was almost scared to death at that time, but then I almost impulsively wanted to respond." Fortunately, I still know what kind of material I am, if I just agree, I will be unlucky if I really lose the battle, and you will not be unlucky, even those innocent soldiers who died at that level, I will be the first to pass. You Lao Tzu and I have self-knowledge, I am the material that desperately rushes forward to kill, if you really want to be a general, then you should wait for the next life! ”

"But when I saw the way you lifted the table, I almost thought you would accept it!" Xu Xun was stunned when he thought of that scene, so he smiled and said, "I really didn't know that in addition to being skilled in arching horses, you also had such a hand that you had never revealed." ”

"What is this hidden, how did you get acquainted with that monk back then? Before he entered the West Factory, the two of us were together. If you want to say that I am not as good as him in stealing chickens and touching dogs, but if you want to say that I am far inferior to him in the ability to move mills to block people and fight and cause trouble. It's all practiced when I was young, holding a stone lock and holding a grinding plate, but I can bluff people. So, don't be an old lady and support me, I'm not seventy or eighty! ”

Xu Xun glared at Xu Liang when he ate it, but he didn't mean to withdraw his hand at all: "Isn't this the heart of being a son who is filial to you?" ”

On the carriage, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were discussing how to be a matchmaker for the eldest lady of the Shouning Hou Mansion, Xu Liang and Xu Xun of the Xing'an Bo Mansion still had the leisure to joke with each other, but the military department and the cabinet were already busy, and at the same time, there were also the noble generals of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion and the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Even Zhang Yong was thrilled, and he went to see Gao Feng to hear the news on this day. However, Gao Feng has always only cared about Zhu Houzhao's affairs and has not been involved in government affairs, but he can't say why.

So far, the Tartar has slapped the Ming Dynasty in the face, and now it is no longer about whether the court will change it, but whether others will take advantage of the situation to attack. However, it is a debatable question whether to send troops to reinforce Xuanfu, and how many troops to send and who will lead the army. However, the head of the household, Shangshu, Hangul, and so on, were concerned about military salaries and so on, and within two days, the DPRK and China quarreled.

In the evening, in a secluded and narrow alley, the two small sedan chairs walked in the opposite direction, and finally they were about to touch together, and the four strong men who carried the sedan chair on both sides put the sedan chair down, and then quietly retreated, and finally there was no shadow. At this time, the curtain of one of the small sedan chairs was raised high.

"Father-in-law Li."

"Master Jiao, what is the matter with you looking for our family in such a hurry?" Li Rong lowered his head impatiently and walked out of the sedan chair, and said with an unsightly face, "It's not the past now, the emperor sees that our old guys are just superficial efforts, if the matter of our two meetings is sued by those little cubs, our old face will have nowhere to use!" ”

"I also know the difficulties of Gonggong Li." Jiao Fang was not annoyed at all, and still said with a smile, "I came today because I wanted to discuss something with Gonggong Li. The current situation must have been seen by Gonggong Li, Xu Xun is blessed with unique talents, and the emperor trusts him, and it is impossible to press him to rise, or to move Gonggong Xiao. To this day, it is said that those cabinet elders and ministers of the ministry are not used to him. At this time, let's give him a favor, not to mention the past things to write off, but they can always be brought over gradually. After all, for Gonggong Li now, Gonggong Xiao is far less threatening than those fathers-in-law in the East Palace in the past, isn't he? ”

A few days ago, Wang Yue had nothing to do to touch the nail, and the little emperor's mind couldn't figure it out, Li Rong was worried in his heart, at this moment Jiao Fang said, he couldn't help but be slightly moved, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Then you say, what kind of favor?" ”

"Of course, it is a favor that allows him to be stable in the court. What could be more merit than military merit? I also mentioned this matter to Li Ge Lao, the Tartar style never confronts us, the army has passed, they have long slipped away without a trace, this can get military merit in a circle, such a good thing is not common. ”
