Chapter 182: Spectators
As the loud voice spread across the court, the ministers in the hall were already in an uproar. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But don't wait for the opinionated courtier to say anything. King Wei Hui didn't give them a chance to say anything at all.
After saying this, King Wei Hui just glanced at Wu Ming lightly. Then when Hui Shi raised his leg and took the first step, he said aloud: "Retreat." β
"Retreatβ"
With the different voice of the minister, it sounded. Hui Shi's body, which was about to bend down, froze. The half-raised hand trembled slightly.
A face full of vicissitudes, first sluggish, then helpless, and finally helpless.
"It's going to change......"
"Yes, your lordship, this is ......"
Some of the courtiers slowly left amid the sound of discussion.
"Hui Shi, congratulations to the general." After saying that, Hui Shi smiled indifferently, pursed his lips, and turned around and left weakly.
"Congratulations to the General."
"Congratulations, congratulations......" After him, the rest of the courtiers also congratulated Wu Ming.
But only Wu Ming was still standing in place.
Imposed marriage. But the two men had never even met. Wu Ming didn't want this kind of designated marriage, if it was said that this was something that King Wei Hui promised Hedong, and he Wu Ming had to do, then Wu Ming would rather not have Hedong's taxes and other things.
But King Wei Hui's attitude today has explained too much. There is no room for him to refute. Not only did he not let those civil officials say anything, but at the same time he was gagged.
Half an hour later, until all the courtiers had left, Wu Ming was still at a loss in this hall. forcibly added a marriage to himself, or someone he didn't know at all......
"Tell the king, please tell the general's back garden." Just when Wu Ming was thinking wildly, a minister walked in and gave an order aloud.
"I'm tired." Wu Ming turned around and arched his hand at the smiling minister, already polite.
"Congratulations to the general." The minister smiled and bowed back.
"Thank you."
β¦β¦
In the back garden, there is still the game of chess by the river, and it seems that this is a game of chess that can never be played. The two people sitting opposite each other, one was King Wei Hui, and the other was Chen Zhen.
"We're looking at the king." Following the ministers as he approached, Wu Ming arched his hand.
"Aiqing doesn't need to be polite. Take a seat. Raising his eyes and looking at Wu Ming with a smile, King Wei Hui stretched out his hand and pointed to the futon that had already been prepared on the side.
Chen Zhen also bowed to Wu Ming at this time, "General." β
Wu Ming glanced at the newly added futon. Just on the far side of the board away from the river bank is the position of the spectators.
After Wu Ming sat down, King Wei Hui and Chen Zhen continued to play chess. During this period, Chen Zhen was first killing indiscriminately, until he saw that he was about to win. I don't know if Chen Zhen deliberately released the water, and King Wei Hui actually had a situation of turning defeat into victory again.
At this time, Chen Zhen sighed: "Your Excellency, this chess skill is really unattainable for Weichen." β
"Oh? It's rare to be able to win Aiqing once. The widow still thinks that if you lose this time, you won't be called Chen Zhen when you play chess in the future. King Wei Hui moved his fat body, revealing a silly smile, "However, how can the widow think that Aiqing is absent-minded today, but there is something in his heart?" β
"Hah! The king is really as wise as a god. Chen Zhen showed a bitter look as she spoke, and said thoughtfully: "Last night, Weichen went to the prison and saw the young man. The child's eyes were blank, and he begged the ministers to treat him and plead with the king and the general. At that time, the young man knelt directly in front of Weichen, his already messy appearance, and he burst into tears, it was really ...... It's really unbearable for Weichen! I can't bear to see Childe suffer such a crime again!
Gongzi already knew that he was wrong, that he was a mortal mistake, and that even if he died, it would be difficult to make up for the damage to the subjects of Wei. In this life, I don't want the king and the general to be gracious, but I just want to follow the general to learn the art of war, even if I die, I will die on the battlefield, so that I can not live up to the blood in my heart, nor live up to the grace of the king and the general.
Ang Gongzi he, he dragged Weichen to say this to the king and the general, Weichen is trying to say how to speak! I don't want the king to see it. β
The voice slowly came out of Chen Zhen's mouth. Yes, although Chen Zhen is in tears at the moment, although his acting skills make Wu Ming feel admired. But at this time, everything could not hide the fact that he wanted to say.
The king summoned him, and he was a courtier. If it is said that Wu Ming came late, in order to pass the time, the two opened a chess game first, which is understandable.
But since Wu Ming came, the two of them completely forgave Wu Ming.
A chess game, a spectator seat that has been prepared for a long time. If Wu Ming hadn't understood it at the beginning, now he understands it.
I see. This chess was not played by King Wei Hui and Chen Zhen for entertainment. They are showing themselves this.
Now this means, eighty percent, that is, King Wei Hui and Chen Zhen have already discussed the matter of Gongzi. This would just be trying to find a reason to convince him Wu Ming.
This is the case, but at this moment, Wu Ming is a little crying and laughing, if he can, he even wants to take back his previous words. They all want to refund the tax in Hedong. But the king's thing was not to go to the bazaar to buy clothes.
Now if I don't know how to say goodbye, I'm afraid that King Wei Hui will directly deduct something, and Jun Yan is not like child's play or something.
"Oops......" Sure enough, after a while, King Wei Hui pulled down this old face, raised his right hand and groped his beard, revealing a thoughtful look, "This matter, Wu Aiqing should agree, the widow has a word first, and the matter of Wei'er will be awarded to Wu Aiqing in the future." β
Saying that, King Wei Hui first exchanged a look with Chen Zhen. Then he looked at Wu Ming and said, "Wu Aiqing, what do you say about this?" β
As the saying goes, it's hard to get confused.
The two of them sang and harmonized, pretending to be confused. But this technical level is much worse than Chen Zhen's frustrated acting skills.
Feeling the fiery gaze cast by King Wei Hui, Wu Ming shook his head helplessly at this moment, and then said with a smile: "The matter of the prince has long been forgotten. If it weren't for Lord Chen's mention today, Weichen would have really forgotten everything.
Half a year in prison. Presumably, the son also knows repentance. Since I have entrusted Lord Chen to intercede. Weichen should also send a favor to the water, how to decide the whole screen of the king. β
In fact, Wu Ming really forgot everything about Gongzi's affairs. Didn't care about this guy at all. Although he is in prison, he is the son of the royal family after all. If you really kill it, I'm afraid that if King Wei Hui doesn't say it on the surface, it won't really hurt in his heart.
Otherwise, why ask yourself if you want to let them go? If King Hui really wants to cure this son's sins, where is the use of asking him Wu Ming?
"Okay-" As soon as Wu Ming's voice dissipated, King Wei Hui immediately let out a good shout. The gaze that was staring at Wu Ming was also retracted.
The moment he leaned back, he glanced at Chen Zhen again. Immediately afterwards, he collected the smile on his face and continued to say to Wu Ming: "Since Wu Aiqing intends to spare this rebel. The death penalty can be avoided, but it can't be allowed to be too indulgent. During this time, Wu Aiqing stayed in Daliang for a while, first, he could have a good talk with Mei'er, and second, let the rebel follow Wu Aiqing to learn the art of war every day. If Aiqing doesn't dislike it, can you give the firewood room in the house to this rebel to live in for a while, so that he can't live too comfortably as soon as he comes out. β
Not far away on the lake, a small goldfish frolicked out of the water, splashing as it fell.
Under the oblique sunlight, Wu Ming didn't speak, just looked at the chessboard quietly. The scene was a little awkward for a while.
After a while, Chen Zhen finally put away the sadness on his face, and with a smile, he broke the silence at this time, "Yes, yes, yes, what the king said, and the prince also said it." If you want to learn the art of war from the general, Weichen sees this as feasible. It just so happens that the general can talk more to Princess Ruimei. β
When the words fell, the face habitually hung up that somewhat treacherous smile.
Wu Ming still sat and didn't speak. I know what I want to say, but I can't say something, and I don't know how to say it. The king gave marriage, this kind of thing is something that ordinary courtiers dream of, but Wu Ming doesn't want to. It's not that there is any prejudice against the princess who hasn't met, it's just that he doesn't want to get married yet.
The smile on Chen Zhen's face froze.
There was no other way for him to look at King Wei Hui. And King Wei Hui could only look at Wu Ming again and asked softly, "Wu Aiqing, what do you say?" β
"Your Majesty." Coming back to his senses, Wu Ming slowly bowed his hand to King Wei Hui, and said lightly: "Weichen is just thinking, in this way, in the Hedong military camp, the training matter is only afraid that it will be delayed." I can't afford to delay this matter. There is not much stability at the moment. We should take this opportunity to put our military affairs in order. β
"Hehe, the widow has thought about this too." Hearing this, King Wei Hui seemed to be waiting for Wu Ming to say these words, and replied directly: "I heard that there are many good generals in the army today. The army has established a treasury of the art of war, and Aiqing may wish to hand over these things to his deputy general Zhang Meng. It's also good to exercise their abilities. As I said, it won't take a few days to get from Hedong to Daliang, so they will naturally send someone to Daliang to contact Aiqing if there is something. β
"The Weichen that the king said understands that it's just that today's soldiers are all new soldiers, although the overall ability is not inferior to the soldiers, but after all, they have not experienced a real battle. I'm afraid that General Zhang Meng's training will go wrong. β
Bowing his head and arching his hand, Wu Ming was about to continue. But he was directly interrupted impatiently by King Wei Hui. "Okay, let the widow arrange this matter. After nearly a year of hard work, Aiqing has lost a lot of weight. There have been many hard days, and it is the past mistakes of the widows that have led to today. This time, no matter what, I have to let Aiqing rest for a while. β
Having said all this, what else can Wu Ming say. If you don't agree, then you really don't know how to lift: "Weichen, it's all up to the king's arrangement." β
"Well, that's right." At this moment, King Wei Hui's face instantly smiled, and he felt a lot relieved in his heart at this moment, "Aiqing's heart for the country is not known, but you also have to take care of your body." You and Chen Aiqing are now the widow's right-hand men, and the widow is still thinking about when the two of you will join forces again to change all the fertile land of my Wei country. β
"It's not early, the widow has already arranged a banquet. It should be to celebrate the successful transformation of Hedong fertile land. Today, the three of us monarchs and ministers, let's not get drunk and don't return, okay? β
Near the afternoon, King Wei Hui personally took Wu Ming and Chen Zhen's hands and walked into the banquet together.
Spacious palace, three several cases. In addition to the location of the primary and secondary honorable, the things placed on several cases are the same delicacies of the mountains and seas, the same wine, melons and fruits. These things that ordinary people have never seen before almost fill the table that is enough for an adult to lie down and sleep.
In addition, the bell was played in the palace first, and the sound was jingling bell, but with the speed of the rhythm and the severity of the force, Wu Ming's heart surged at this moment.
After the chime, a group of dancing girls appeared, and there was no guzheng around them, but the sound of the guzheng permeated the entire hall.
As the dancers began to shake Na Miaoman's posture, King Wei Hui on the main throne also smiled and pouted: "Come on, come on, two Aiqing, we monarchs and ministers drink this pout." β
The banquet lasted until dusk. When he left the palace, Chen Zhen smiled leisurely and said to Wu Ming, saying that he invited Wu Ming to rest in Fengyue Tower together.
However, this matter was finally rejected by Wu Ming.
When he returned to the General's Mansion, it was already dark, Wu Ming washed his whole body with cold water, and after sobering himself up, he went straight into the study and wrote a secret letter.
It explains that he is going to stay in the palace for a while. At the same time, he also told Jin Yan to continue to observe Liu Yun's every move. Liu Yun is allowed to go out, but keep a record of when she goes out each time and what she does when she returns.
The other is the training in the army. Soldiers were to be equipped with leather armor and to hold long gos or spears or swords. He carried a longbow and fifty arrows. A half-day rapid march of 100 miles can still be quickly put into battle.
This is the standard of martial arts that has been set since the time of Wu Qi. However, at that time, there were not many people who could enter the martial arts, because the selection criteria for the early martial arts had strict requirements for height and natural strength.
But here in Wu Ming, after half a year of physical training, most of the soldiers have reached the standard in terms of physical strength.
The last test was a month ago. Most of the soldiers were already able to march fifty miles and then quickly enter the battle. After Wu Ming changed the requirements for the military guards, he reduced the distance of the long-distance attack to seventy miles.
Of course, in order to allow the soldiers to quickly adapt to this long-distance attack, the training is still based on the hundred miles, but the specific time of these hundred miles is not remembered, just to improve the ability of the soldiers.
After writing what is going to be explained. Wu Ming handed over the secret letter to the guards and asked him to send it to Hedong overnight.
It was just when the soldier left and Wu Ming was about to return home. At this time, the minister appeared in front of him with a prince dressed in a common person's costume.
