Chapter 40: Eight Wins and Eight Defeats
Bai Wei crouched on Jiang Nan's chest, stretched out her right hand and touched the wound on Jiang Nan's left chest and said softly: "Childe...... Does it still hurt? ”
"No...... It doesn't hurt ......."
Jiang Nan hugged the lovely person in front of him, but he still had a few worries in his eyes.
"But you're worried about your mother's family?"
Bai Wei bowed her head slightly.
"It's just that my husband and I are going to go on an expedition soon, and your family's affairs still need to be put aside......"
When Bai Wei heard the word husband, she couldn't help but blush, but looking at Jiang Nan's rather serious attitude, she still decided to listen patiently.
"When this war is over, I will naturally personally solve the thief Bai Cheng for Wei'er!"
"Childe. Wei'er didn't dare to bother her son. As soon as she heard that Jiang Nan wanted to avenge herself, Bai Wei's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"Silly girl...... Your business is my business! Gently holding Bai Wei's hair, Jiang Nan's eyes had indescribable tenderness.
"It's just that this time is going to be bitter for Wei'er...... If the Bai family is sending eyeliner to Wei'er, she still needs to disguise it for a while."
"Childe" Bai Wei has been completely melted by Jiangnan's tenderness, and her eyes are facing each other, and she is no longer resisting "Childe treats Weier like this...... Vile really ...... Yes...... Childe, what did you leave on me......"
Jiang Nan smiled evilly, and his hands began to quickly untie the girl's clothes.
has been the first time, Bai Wei is also very cooperative with this Jiangnan, and a man and a woman kissed passionately for a while.
"The wound on your back is out of the way, is it?"
"No...... Get in the way......" Bai Wei said with a red face, and the next moment it had already turned over to Jiang Nan.
"I ...... I'm going to be on it! ”……
After a glance, Jiang Nan had already changed into a white robe. At this time, he took Guo, Chen, Ling, and all four of them on the road to the Jinluan Palace.
"It's also trouble......some for Gonggong Zhang to take care of it," Chen Lin took out a belt of silver taels, and Chen Lin and the others had never lacked silver since following Jiangnan.
Under the leadership of the father-in-law surnamed Zhang, after a while, Jiangnan and his group of five people had already ascended to the highest place of power in the country, Jiangnan motioned for the four to wait outside the gate of the Jinluan Palace, and he stepped into it leisurely.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Surrounded by several eunuchs and palace maids, the young monarch was in the stage of growing his body, and with intercourse every night, he was obviously a little sleep-deficient.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
"Respectfully, His Royal Highness the Regent King, Respectfully Eldest Princess!" The chief eunuch began to sing again.
"Your Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The civil and military officials bowed down again, and although Jiang Nan resisted a little, he was also forced to kneel on one knee and bow in reluctance.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The regent stepped forward: "This morning, there is a major matter to discuss with you Aiqing. ”
"Border Emergency, I believe that you Aiqing has already known that after some deliberation, Your Majesty has issued a holy decree, and King Lone will give an order on behalf of Your Majesty."
As soon as the words passed, the ministers of the court began to discuss, and only a few people who knew about it had their eyes flashing and weighed each other.
"General Fujun Zuo Lan obeys the order!"
"The last general!"
"In accordance with Your Majesty's order, Zuo Lan, the general of the Fu Army, will be crowned as the general of Pingbei, and will lead 50,000 people of the Imperial Forest Army to go out of Anzhou tomorrow to quell the Taibai Thief Rebellion!"
"The Last General's Order!" Zuo Lan knelt down on one knee and said again: "The last general will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”
The regent nodded in satisfaction, and then fixed his eyes on Jiangnan, who was the last of the hundred officials.
"Langguan Jiangnan listens to the order!"
With Liu Yue's voice, everyone present all looked at Jiangnan who was about to line up at the door.
Jiangnan didn't have a formal official uniform, so he saw him swinging his robe and said: "Xiaochen Jiangnan receives the order!" ”
"Feng Jiangnan is the general of Congsanpin Dangkou, and he will command 20,000 Jiangzhou soldiers and horses to assist Pingbei General Zuo Lan, and go out together!"
"No, Your Highness!" Jiang Nan was about to thank him, but he saw a middle-aged civil official already out of the queue and bowed down in the hall.
"Master Fang, this is an edict drafted by His Majesty, do you want to resist the decree?"
Fang Hui is not only a staunch royalist, but also a real literati, who loves good articles and poems, and once photographed a bottle of high-grade daughter red at the Yanyuzhuang drinking party.
"It's not the old minister's rebellion, it's just that this Jiangnan is a literati, and he has never had experience in leading troops, doesn't His Royal Highness let us go to the border to die as an example of the literati of the country?" Fang Hui's words were excited, he was extremely optimistic about Jiangnan, so he spoke quite aggressively.
"Scholar Fang's words are different!" I saw that Li Cheng had already come out of the ranks, "Although Jiangnan is a literati, why can't Yanyu Zhuang serve the country with many generals?" ”
"Oh?" Fang Hui glared at Li Cheng, "Then I don't know if Li Situ knows what good generals are in Yanyu Village?" ”
"Humph!" Li Chengyi waved his robe and said: "The Zhenqiang Hu Ling who used to be on the border of Anzhou is in Yanyu Village, and it is rumored that this person has reached the strength of the late stage of the treasure general!" ”
"Guo Zhun, a former staff member of the Mu family, and Chen Lin, the former prison secretary, are both Yanyu Zhuang strategists, and the two of them also have the level of scholars!"
"Then there are Yanyuzhuang private soldiers, all of whom are above the strength of fighters, and the three commanders are even at the stage of reaching the heroic Dao, may I ask if Master Fang is considered to be a soldier with many generals?"
"So what? Even if there are many good generals like Yanyuzhuang, but Jiangnan is only filial piety, if you wait until its strength rises to go on the expedition, it is okay, now I am afraid it is just too early! Fang Hui did not change his face and competed with Li Cheng.
Prime Minister Zhu Justice didn't speak, but just kept standing with his eyes closed. On the Mu family's side, only Hou Muli stood beside Fang Hui with his head held high and was the most supportive, while Mu Jia was going to Youzhou tomorrow and did not go to court.
Jiang Nan knew that Fang Hui had good intentions and wanted to protect himself, but listening to his words, he felt very twisted, what is filial piety...... Is the master so weak?
And Liu Yun, who was sitting on the right side of Xiao Guojun, did not speak all the time, and kept looking at Jiangnan with a smile.
"Your Highness, Scholar Fang, Li Situ. I may be able to say a word next. ”
Jiang Nan slowly stepped forward and glanced at Fang Hui and the others to signal not to worry about himself.
"Xiaochen Jiangnan, born in Zhiguo, is now a white thief and Kou rebelled, His Majesty ordered Xiaochen to go on an expedition, and Xiaochen himself is very willing."
"As Li Situ said, the strength of Yanyuzhuang is indeed like this, and I believe that the Jiangzhou garrison allocated by His Majesty to the ministers must also be very brave and good at fighting."
"But what Scholar Fang said is right, the minister is just a mere filial piety, his strength is not good, the battlefield is ruthless, and the minister will inevitably appear."
"But the eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, how can he delay national affairs because of his own life, so ......" Jiang Nan has already knelt down on one knee.
"Command!"
Liu Yun smiled, smiling very happily, in her opinion, the man she fell in love with should be like this.
Jiang Nan got up slowly, saluted Fang Hui and the others, and said, "Scholar Fang's kindness is understood!" It's just that in Jiangnan's eyes, these Taibai rebels are just people who sell their heads! ”
When the hundred officials heard it, they all changed color, and even the side that supported Jiangnan couldn't help but feel that it was a bit overbearing.
But Jiang Nan completely ignored everyone's gaze and continued: "In the eyes of the ministers, the Taibai Sect has eight defeats, and I have eight victories in the country!" ”
"First, my rule of more than 300 years is deep-rooted, and even if there is an invasion from outside, I can be regarded as a strong soldier; And the Taibai Righteous Army relied on morality to demagogue, and it was only a year to think about it, this is the basic victory! ”
Jiang Nan said a word, and all the ministers' faces were full of ease, and they couldn't help but start listening to Jiang Nan's words.
"Second, I am a great general, and there are many talented people in the army; Although the Taibai Sect claims to be a division of 200,000, most of them are below the level of fighters, and there are even some farmers who have no power to restrain the chickens, this is a martial victory! ”
"Third, I am so big that the literary style is prevalent, there are countless literati and, and there are countless clever strategies; On the other hand, most of the soldiers of the Taibai Sect are illiterate, even if a small number of literati work hard to support it, it is difficult for our army to resist, this is Wensheng! ”
"Fourth, I am the orthodox royal family, and the Taibai Righteous Army is just a rebel thief, compared to this righteous victory!"
Jiang Nan slowed down after speaking, Fang Hui Muli was already nodding again and again at this time, Li Chengzhu was fair, even if it was hostile, he was appreciative from the bottom of his heart by Jiang Nan's words.
"Fifth, although the Taibai Sect claims to be on behalf of the heavens and help the people, but since today I have heard that some of its subordinates have wantonly slaughtered the people after gaining power, and although I am so big that I can't spread the national prestige in some remote areas, I can generally be regarded as sympathetic to the people, which is a benevolent victory!"
"Sixth, my national etiquette is spread far and wide in the four seas, and morality exists forever in Kyushu, compared to Taibaijiao, which takes unwarranted superstition as morality, laughs and is generous, this is the victory of courtesy!"
"Seventh, the Taibai Sect has just taken the eight counties in the northwest of Anzhou, and I heard that its internal contradictions are continuous, Wang Kai, one of the four generals of Taibai, has defected, and I have a resolute heart to conquer Taibai, the army has good discipline, and the rewards and punishments are clear. This is the victory of the law! ”
Jiang Nan smiled after speaking, his expression was quite confident. Liu Xie, the little monarch sitting in a high position, also listened to it with relish, without the slightest sleepiness.
Liu Yun still looked at Jiangnan so affectionately, while Liu Yue's eyes were ruthless.
Jiang Nan paced again above the main hall, and the eyes of the hundred officials also kept turning with him, only to see Jiang Nan pat his forehead and say again
"As for this last point, the officers of the ** team have been in office for a long time, and the soldiers basically get along with their generals day and night, but this Taibai Righteous Army has wantonly recruited the defenders. The peasants, the defenders, and the rebels were disorganized, and the good and the bad were uneven, but in contrast, the quality of the army was superior to that of the enemy. ”
"Good! Jiang Aiqing said it well! After hearing this, the little monarch applauded loudly, although his voice was extremely childish, but it was enough to show his joy at this time.
"Brother Huang!" Xiao Guojun asked Liu Yue, "What kind of official was Jiang Aiqing sealed when he went on the expedition!" ”
Liu Yue's eyes were gloomy, but he still had to answer at this time: "It is General Cong Sanpin!" ”
"Not enough, not enough! How can Jiang Qing be such a talented person to be able to seal the third grade! ”
"Manager Fu, what kind of official did you say Lone should give him!" The little monarch danced with his hands, pointed to the chief eunuch on the side and asked.
I saw that Manager Fu glanced at Liu Yue's eyes, and hurriedly bent over and muttered a few words in the ear of the little monarch.
Xiao Guojun's originally happy expression gradually became dim, and he finally said after a long time: "Jiang Qing is talented, but he has not made any contributions to the empire. For the time being, Jiang Aiqing will be crowned as the general of the three products! ”
After speaking, the little monarch waved his hand in annoyance and signaled to retreat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
