Chapter 31: The Emperor's Question

Under the coaxing of Zhao Ji, Liu Fan finally reluctantly and reluctantly took Xiao Liuzhong to embark on the road of no return to knowledge. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info when they arrived at Guozijian, the morning class had already been over, Liu Fan awkwardly ran to the office to see Master Tang, went in to see, Master Tang was also restless waiting there, seeing Liu Fan come in, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted him and said: "Liu Fan, you are finally back, I am afraid that you will be delayed by something on the road." ”

Liu Fan was very embarrassed, he thought that Tang Fuzi would teach him a lesson with a straight face, but who knew that it would bring Tang Fuzi's worries.

Liu Fan confessed his sins to his master Tang Wenwen, and listened to a few words of instructions from Tang Wenwen Tang Master, so he hurriedly ran to prepare for the morning class, and the whole morning was like a dream. After lunch, Liu Fan was drowsy, and the fierce battle last night made him a little tired.

When I was sleepy, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "It's a holiday!" It's a holiday! ........." Liu Fan immediately fell asleep when he heard this. As soon as he was awakened, Liu Fan heard some words randomly: "The Turkic army is going south, and the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice said that the class will be suspended........" With that, Liu Fan immediately sobered up, afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked Li Zhen, the "ladyboy at the same table": "Brother Li, what are you all discussing?" The discussion was so intense that it was embarrassing. Li Zhen said angrily: "The group of barbarians in the north has invaded the land of our Great Chu, they have passed the Yumen Pass, and they are only two or three hundred miles away from the capital!" ”

"Hey, didn't you just get the news of the Turkic withdrawal a few days ago? Why is it that after only a few days, the Turks are calling again? Is it so close to the capital? When Liu Fan heard the news, he suddenly felt that his head was a little insufficient.

"Brother Liu doesn't know, the news that came a few days ago was just a plan by this group of shameless people to attack the west, and the purpose was to attack our Chu army in one fell swoop when it was slack." Li Zhen hated this group of invaders very much, and also felt sorry for the slackness of the border soldiers.

As he was talking, Tang Fuzi walked into the classroom, and in the face of the students, Tang Fuzi was also very sad to announce the news of the Turkic south, and also announced the order of Master Zhang of the sacrifice wine: Guozijian temporarily suspended classes and lectures until the invaders retreated. The students complied with the order, packed their luggage and left the Guozijian...............................

In the palace hall, Emperor Xiang Jingwu of the Ming Dynasty was thinking hard about the Turkic invasion in the south, and a herald eunuch cautiously walked to the imperial case: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess An Ning asks to see you." ”

"Biography!" A hint of warmth flashed in Xiang Jingwu's eyes.

"Whoa."

"The son visits his father."

"The emperor doesn't need to be polite, he is flat," Xiang Jingwu's eyes were full of love, "What is the matter of An Ning asking to see his father?" ”

"Father Xie, father, son-in-law heard that the Turks have invaded my Great Chu land in the south again, and I don't know if there is such a thing." An Ning asked calmly.

"What the emperor said is true, it is true." Xiang Jingwu suddenly had a headache when he thought of the Turks.

"I don't know if my father has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

"Haven't been, alas, hey, could it be that the emperor has a good plan?" When Xiang Jingwu heard this, his heart was full of expectations.

"Erchen has no good plan yet, but Erchen knows a person, and this person may have a strategy to retreat from the enemy."

"Who is this person?" Emperor Wu of Ming was full of excitement.

"This person is the young owner of the royal firm, the first in the township test in the late autumn and early winter of this year, and Liu Fan, the supervisor of the country."

When Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty heard this, it seemed that he was poured cold water from the head to the end in the winter, this mud horse is not scientific, and the civil and military officials of the court are not in a rut, can the son of a merchant who has not learned anything before this year have a way? If you say it, you can laugh to death half of the gentlemen in the capital. Xiang Jingwu smiled bitterly and said: "Emperor, Liu Fan is a scholar, what can he do?" Could it be that the emperor is comforting me? ”

"Qiqi father, Erchen didn't laugh, Erchen only relied on his understanding of Liu Fan himself, Erchen believed that Liu Fan would definitely do something in the matter of the Turks going south." An Ning is quite determined.

"This is a military matter, the emperor should not talk nonsense." Xiang Jingwu was a little impatient, and he wondered, why did his daughter believe in Liu Fan, a stinky boy, so much? Could it be that he is not satisfied with my idea of marriage, obviously he wants Liu Fan to be in the limelight, but in fact he wants Liu Fan to make a fool of himself, so that I can retract my thoughts? Xiang Jingwu was a little uncalm, and guessed randomly.

"Father, the son is not messing around, I implore the father to believe in the vision of the son and the minister, and also believe in Liu Fan once, and give Liu Fan a chance to show his talent. The son pleaded with his father. An Ning knelt down after speaking.

Xiang Jingwu didn't speak for a long time, I don't know if he was moved by An Ning's words, or moved by An Ning's sincerity...................................

Liu Fan had a holiday, Mrs. Liu naturally wanted to ask the reason for the holiday, Liu Fan told the Turkic southern invasion, a few perfunctory words, and then returned to the small courtyard, I wanted to find the three daughters of Zhao Ji to do some interesting things such as watching goldfish, but before I could find someone, the housekeeper Liu Zhong found him first: "Young master, young master, young master, palace....... Palace...... Inside the palace... Someone is coming, Madame let you go...... Go... Pick up the order. "Liu Zhong ran out of breath." My will? "Someone came to deliver the decree for no reason, Liu Fan felt a little empty in his heart.

"Young master, don't ask, let's go and receive the order first!" Liu Zhong made the final decision. Liu Fan hurriedly ran to the middle gate and knelt down to accept the will. The emperor ordered Liu Fan to enter the palace immediately, but Liu Fan didn't have time to bathe, so he changed his clothes directly, and followed the eunuch who passed the decree into the palace to face the saint.

Seeing Xiang Jingwu, Xiang Jingwu said that he wanted to test his talent, but Liu Fan couldn't, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to ask for a question." ”

Xiang Jingwu ordered someone to hand him the latest battle report. Liu Fan finally had a general understanding of the content of the fold, which was nothing more than writing about how the officers and men of our Chu army fought desperately, but the Turkic army was too strong, and how our army suffered heavy casualties. Liu Fan was a little excited for a while, it stands to reason that this is the government and military affairs, Xiang Jingwu showed himself this important performance, it was his trust in himself, on the other hand, I was afraid that Xiang Jingwu also wanted to hear his Liu Fan's opinion, but what bothered Liu Fan was that after so many powerful people in the capital, why did he ask him this little prisoner?

And His Majesty said a new news: the Turkic envoys had set out from their royal tent two days ago, and they were about to arrive in the capital in a few days, and the Turkic Khan wanted the Chu Dynasty to give 50,000 catties of iron, 100,000 catties of grain, 100,000 catties of salt, 100,000 horses of silk and 100,000 taels of silver to the Turks every year, and ceded the land within a radius of 100 miles of Yumen Pass to the Turks in exchange for the Turkic withdrawal and the peace between the two countries.

It is no problem to give grain, salt, silk cloth, or even silver, but this iron and land cannot be given. Nothing else hurts, but if you give these two things, there is a danger of shaking the country's foundation, and these two things must be held tightly in your hands no matter what.
