Chu Tianya casually pulled down his hair and put on a big coat and sat in the lobby of the private house, with his favorite millet porridge and glutinous rice desserts on the table in front of him.

"My lord, the imperial envoy from Tokyo has arrived. Do you have an interview? "Liuhe Road.

Chu Tianya put down the porridge bowl, "Do you know why?" ”

"The subordinates inquired first, and said that the official family officially gave the lord the title of Xuanfu Envoy of Henan Xuanfu Division, and reappointed Zhang Xiaochun as the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, and the officials and generals of the original Taiyuan Mansion and the Hedong Army were all pardoned." Liuhe said, "However, the imperial court also sent a general judgment. ”

"General judgment?" Chu Tianya couldn't help but laugh, "Who sent it?" ”

To put it bluntly, the general judgment is the "overseer" sent by the emperor, which is generally set up at the prefectural and state levels. In terms of rank, he can be regarded as the deputy of the prefect and the prefect, but because he is a henchman sent by the emperor to serve as a supervisor, his direct power and influence in the local area are no less than that of the state officials.

In the current situation, Chu Tianya uninvited and forcefully "occupied" Luoyang, and the imperial court was obviously forced to admit this fact, but it did not forget to send a "general judgment" to intervene. This somewhat reflects the unwillingness and anger of the official family and the imperial court, and it is also to strive to keep the last "fig leaf".

"The general judge of Jingzhao Mansion sent by the official family is still a big acquaintance." Liuhe also smiled, "During the first battle of Taiyuan that year, Xu Han, who was ordered to lead the royal division to come to Taiyuan to rescue. ”

"Xu Han?" Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows in surprise, "After the Battle of Taiyuan that year, wasn't he forced to resign and go into hiding, was he enabled by the imperial court again?" ”

"Yes." Liuhe replied, "In the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Luoyang must be a dangerous place, and no one dares to come." I don't know which ruthless guy recommended Xu Han, who had just fallen into bad luck and was not completely dead, and asked him to come to Luoyang to die. ”

"The same cannot be said. Is my Chu someone really that cruel? Chu Tianya said with a smile, "The general judgment of the state capital of the Great Song Dynasty is not a good stubble, and no one dares to offend when it is sent to the place, and it has always been a first-class fat shortage." Only the current Luoyang general judgment is probably not so easy to mix. However, now is an extraordinary period for the world to join hands to fight against gold, and we can't turn Xu Han away......"

Seeing Chu Tianya pondering, Liuhe silently waited for him to make a decision.

Chu Tianya thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "What about the military advisor?" ”

Liuhe stepped forward and whispered: "Since the lord sent the military division to Xiaocang Mountain, he has not been sick. Now in Luoyang, the military advisor is just recuperating at home every day, and no one is seen. ”

"This white-haired fox is still hypocritical with me." Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "Arrange it, I will personally visit Bai Xu's house." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Chu Tianya thought for a while, and then said, "Call the county lord and the old man, and go with me." ”

"Yes, my lord."

After noon, Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong, He Bo and others took a few Qingwei and Hu Ben and went to Bai Xu's house.

Xiao Linglong's mood is quite complicated, she has always thought that the rift between Bai Xu and Chu Tianya is caused by her. Until now, when Luoyang is employing people, the military advisor Bai Xu can't help but be sick, and she can't escape the blame. What's more, Bai Xu is still an old man in Qixingzhai, her fourth brother, and he used to take care of her. Now that she has made such a scene, she is even more self-blaming and lost in her heart.

He Bo's words touched the hearts of Xiao Linglong and Chu Tianya, and he said: "The teeth are still biting the tongue, and the five fingers are not of ordinary length, and it is normal for my own people to make a little awkwardness." As long as we are honest with each other, there is no problem that cannot be solved. ”

Chu Tianya thought so. In this Taiyuan retreat, he did not take care of Bai Xu's feelings in some places. But it was also forced to do it as a last resort. On the other hand, if you missed a major event because of blindly leading up to nothing, it would really outweigh the gains. It is not too late to mend the relationship between him and Bai Xu now.

Bai Xu's home is located in Ancongfang, across the river from Chu Tianya's house. When the group came to the gate of Baifu, they saw that the gate was closed and there was no sergeant standing sentry, and a wooden sign was erected in front of the door, "The head of the family is sick and forgive the guests."

The group stopped when they saw the sign. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "After all, the white-haired fox is a scholar, and he is somewhat bookish. Old man, I'm sorry for you. ”

He Bo didn't say much, his crutches and one foot on the ground a little, as light as a cat, jumped up the wall, and opened the door from the inside.

When Chu Tianya and the others walked in, they saw two small officials running out of the panic inside to respond, they were Bai Xu's henchmen, and the helpers of the Military Aircraft Department.

"Meet the Lord!" The two officials bowed head-on, panicking, "I don't know that the lord is coming, and his subordinates are guilty of capital crimes!" ”

"Excuse me." Chu Tianya said indifferently, "What about the military advisor?" ”

"Strategist, he ......," the little official squeaked, "The strategist is deeply infected with wind and cold and is very contagious, and it is inconvenient to see guests in bed so far." ”

"It just so happened that I brought a famous doctor from Guanzhong to help the military teacher treat the disease." Chu Tianya said, "Lead the way." ”

"Uh...... This one...... It's ......" The little official looked in a hurry, so he had to respond hard.

When Chu Tianya and the others saw the expression of the little official, they all tacitly understood that Bai Xu was definitely not seriously ill.

After walking less than a hundred steps along a tree-lined path towards the mansion, Chu Tianya saw Bai Xu trotting towards him, his clothes and hair were scattered, and the shoes under his feet were also loose. Running in front of Chu Tianya and the others, Bai Xu bowed down and kowtowed to the ground with his forehead, "The subordinates don't know that the lord is here in person, and they are disappointed, please forgive the lord!" ”

"Get up, get up!" Chu Tianya hurriedly helped Bai Xu up in person, stroked his hand and said, "Jingqian, I have been disturbed since I entered Luo, and I didn't come to visit you until today, and I hope you don't worry about it." ”

"How dare your subordinates, how dare you!" Bai Xu is really a little scared.

Although Bai Xu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he had always been arrogant, and he was secretly determined that unless the lord personally deigned to invite me this time, I would never be able to get sick. But after all, there is a difference between the main and the minister, and when Chu Tianya really came in person, he realized that he seemed to be a little hypocritical. Now is the time of critical employment, but he, as the military advisor of the Jin Army and the right-hand man of Chu Tianya, has picked on his own because of his personal will, which is somewhat unreasonable.

In addition, today's formation is indeed extraordinarily large, in addition to the lord Chu Tianya, the quasi-master Xiao Linglong is also here, and the old man is here. If he didn't know how to put down the scholar's stinky shelf, it would be really shameless.

So now, Bai Xu's panic is really not pretending.

"Come, Jingqian, I have invited a famous miracle doctor in Guanzhong here to take a look at your illness." Chu Tianya waved his hand, and a sixty-year-old man with a gray beard stepped forward with a medicine box on his back.

"This ...... How dare subordinates bother the lord? Some minor illnesses can be cured in a few days after taking some decoction. Bai Xu hurriedly said.

"It's okay, let the divine doctor prescribe two pairs of medicine for you first!" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "These days without you by my side, I feel like a cripple, and my hands and feet are not dexterous." You're going to get better soon! ”

"That subordinate...... It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate! Bai Xu had no choice but to promise. If you refuse, it will really be too hypocritical.

So the doctor and Bai Xu went into the back hall together, and they were busy with the pulse and prescribing medicine for a long time. Chu Tianya and the others were using tea in the main hall and waiting quietly. After a while, Bai Xu dressed up and came to the main hall, and bowed down to Chu Tianya, "Xiaosheng bows to the lord Hongen, although the liver and brain are not enough to repay it!" ”

"A little thing, what's the point?" Chu Tianyayun stepped forward to help him up with a light smile, "Originally, Jing Qian was sick, and I shouldn't have come to bother me because of some mundane affairs. But there are some things, if I don't have Jing Qian's help to think about it, I really can't grasp the heat. There is one thing right now, and I would like to ask what Jing Qian means. ”

As soon as Bai Xu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

The reason why he has a temper and is hypocritical is not because Bai Xu cares a lot? In these days of leisure, Bai Xu people are idle, but their hearts are not idle for a moment, and they are always concerned about the size of Luoyang. But since he "can't get out of his illness", it is not good for him to take care of the east and the west, so he can only look at it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart.

Right now, Chu Tianya gave him a big step down and took the initiative to ask him for advice. If he hadn't seized such an opportunity, then he really wouldn't have been the white-haired fox's magic machine strategist.

"Please let the Lord know." Bai Xu immediately said.

"That's right." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "The imperial court sent an envoy to officially canonize me and Zhang Xiaochun as Xuanfu envoys and the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, but another general judge was sent to intervene. In your opinion, how should we arrange this general judgment? ”

When Bai Xu heard this, he knew more clearly in his heart, how could the lord not be able to make up his mind about such a trivial matter? This is just that the lord deliberately found a stubble to ask him to come out of the mountain again.

Chu Tianya's approach was also the most Cheng Dù took care of Bai Xu's face and gave him enough steps. Bai Xu was both happy and ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Sheng thinks that the official family can't wait to canonize the lord because Tokyo is in danger, and the court is eager for the lord to come to help. At present, the Great Song Dynasty court attaches great importance to and relies on the lord, and it is a good time for the lord to soar to the sky. ”

"Sit on the ground and start the price?" Chu Tianya smiled, "In your opinion, I have to give the imperial court some conditions?" ”

"Yes." Bai Xu said categorically, "The imperial court has always hated the Hedong Righteous Army, and regarded us as bandits and grass cogus, but it has to rely on us. Today, the imperial court canonized the lord as the feudal official in charge of the military and political power of Luoyang Jingzhao Mansion, which was also a last resort. But a general judgment was sent to monitor, which still revealed a sense of prevention and hatred. Since this is already the case, we don't have to act with the court, so it's better to simply take out the posture of a grass coward and negotiate conditions with the court! -- It's okay to save the driver, but it has to be beneficial. As the saying goes, if you can't make a profit, you can't afford to be early, let alone a thief who kills people and sells goods? ”

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed when he heard this.

It's not because of how explicit and interesting Bai Xu's words were, but because Bai Xu really stood in his Chu Tianya's perspective and position to make suggestions.

Bai Xu's subtext is actually that I am still a member of the Hedong Righteous Army and a loyal subordinate of the lord!

"The fourth brother's words are quite reasonable." Xiao Linglong wasted no time in interjecting, "The imperial court has never believed in me, and this rush to canonize is nothing more than because the Tokyo crisis soldiers are coming to the city." If I want 100,000 of my brothers to die on his behalf, how can I not give him some real benefits? ”

"What the county lord said is extremely true." Bai Xu bowed to Xiao Linglong and smiled.

His expression and eyes are understandable to everyone, and he wants to "reconcile in public" with Xiao Linglong.

"It's still the fourth brother who is smart." Xiao Linglong also smiled in return.

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "Then according to the opinion of the military division and the county lord, how can I negotiate terms with the imperial court?" ”

"First of all, the king." Bai Xu said without hesitation, "Even rats like Tong Guan spent countless money and grain to buy back a Yan Kyoto and crowned the king, is it okay for the lord to have it?" ”

"Go on." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, he really didn't care about things like knighthoods. But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean it's useless. On the contrary, in this war-torn autumn, when people are in mourning, it is indeed a good way to have a righteous prince. Just like when the Three Kingdoms War was in turmoil, the Han Emperor was already a virtual being, but Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he occupied the highest point of people's hearts and morality, which is a real benefit.

Being able to be officially named the king of the Great Song Dynasty by the official family and the imperial court, plus occupying a "feng shui treasure land" like Luoyang, Xijing, it is difficult for Chu Tianya not to make a splash.

"Second, if the imperial court agrees to make the lord the king, then Xu Han, the general judge sent by the official family, is not qualified." Bai Xu said, "Not to mention, you have to send a prince to take this position, so as to match the identity of the lord." ”

As soon as Bai Xu's words came out, Chu Tianya's eyebrows raised, and Xiao Linglong, He Bo and others were all shocked - surprised!

Chu Tianya looked at Bai Xu, only to see that his eyes were shining, and he suddenly understood in his heart!

Between Chu Tianya and Bai Xu, after all, they are the most tacit partners. There is no need to find out, Chu Tianya immediately figured out Bai Xu's deep intentions - the current crisis in Tokyo, whether it can be held is still unknown.

Thinking optimistically, if Tokyo is finally defended, then Chu Tianya will be a great hero to protect the country, and it is reasonable to hang the seal and seal the territory and give the king. Since then, no one has dared to underestimate Chu Tianya, a prince who is far away in Luoyang, Xijing, and has a high level of military merit. This is far more than going out and going into the phase, and I don't know how many times the cow petal.

At worst, if Tokyo is lost, then the Great Song Dynasty will be declared extinct!

Although the court of the Great Song Dynasty is gone, hundreds of millions of Great Song people and territories are still there. At this time, if Chu Tianya can support a prince of the Great Song Dynasty to set up another court to continue Song Zuo, wouldn't it really be the heart of the world and the expectations of the people?

To put it bluntly, Bai Xu thinks that Chu Tianya will one day become the Cao Cao of the Great Song Dynasty, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world!

Now, Chu Tianya has to admire Bai Xu's foresight. This move is really subtle and profound, even he Chu Tianya didn't expect it!

"Is there a third?" Chu Tianya took a deep breath and asked indifferently.

"Third, since the lord has been appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of the Henan Xuanfu Division, in addition to the power of people's livelihood and government affairs, he must also have the military power to command the generals and supervise the army. Therefore, the lord must immediately issue orders to all the military towns in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jingzhao Prefecture, and all army commands, including the Western Army, must be taken over by the lord. Bai Xu paused here and repeated again, "Including the Western Army!" ”

The Western Army, the most effective army in the Great Song Dynasty, has just gone to Tokyo to rescue the driver under the leadership of the Zhe Keqiu and the Seed Division!

"Good. Very good!!! Chu Tianya praised it twice, and his heart lit up, "Since the imperial court dares to seal me as an official, I dare to exercise this power - the Western Army, which was still fighting with me just now, is now under my command!" - I immediately issued a military order to the middle of the Zhe Ke Qiu and the seed master, and if they complied, it means that the imperial court is sincere in appointing me as an official; Otherwise, I will ignore the imperial court. Is that what you mean, Jingqian? ”

"The lord is wise, that's exactly what he means." Bai Xu smiled slightly, "The Western Army has been stationed in the Western Xinjiang of the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and there are countless proud soldiers and fierce generals, and the combat effectiveness is extraordinary. According to the original intention of the imperial court, it must not want to assign the western army to the lord and the princess; But why didn't the lord pretend to be confused and put the Western Army under his command? -- Who said that all the armies of the Western Army nominally belonged to the Henan Xuanfu Division? The imperial court and the official family are also in a hurry to go to the doctor, ignoring this detail. This is a God-given benefit, how can the lord sit down? ”

"Good. It seems that even if you are sick, you are better than thousands of troops, and you can turn your hands into clouds and rain while talking and laughing. Chu Tianya let out a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to pat Bai Xu's shoulder, "I will return as soon as possible." I'm afraid I won't be able to leave you for a moment. ”

"The lord is wrong to love, and Xiaosheng is flattered!" Bai Xu hurriedly took three steps back and bowed down with his hands bent down, "A little illness is not enough to worry about, Xiaosheng, you can go to the military aircraft tomorrow to take up your post!" ”

"Xiao Linglong!" Chu Tianya called out loudly.

Xiao Linglong stood up and clenched her fists, "The subordinates are here!" ”

Chu Tianya patted Bai Xu's shoulder and said with a smile: "I order you to personally go and sweep the military aircraft office for your fourth brother, and welcome the military advisor to return to office!" ”

"Subordinates obey!!" Xiao Linglong promised loudly.

Bai Xu was terrified, "The lord, the county lord...... How dare your subordinates? ”

"I will give my order and will never change it." Chu Tianya smiled at Bai Xu with his eyebrows and eyes, and strode away with everyone.

Bai Xu hurriedly followed to the eaves of the mast and bowed down, "Congratulations to the lord!" ”
