Chapter 12: The Banquet for the General (II)
Sibu Tailang Xinggua was stopped by He Ran before leaving, and he whispered: "Your name is too long, can you only call you Sibu in the future?" ”
Sibu Tailang Xinggua said with a smile: "The military advisor is called at will. ”
When Sibu also left, the little princess asked, "Obviously you are going to go on the expedition soon, why are you still fighting and leaving?" ”
"When he arrives on the prairie, his mother's heart will be more keen, and the most taboo thing for the leader of the army is that his mind is scattered, and it is easy to make mistakes when he is messy, so I can't use him now. Do you understand. ”
The little princess smiled: "How do I think you seem to be a different person, this is too different from the usual you, I don't get used to it." ”
He Ran laughed and said: "You haven't seen the real demeanor of this military division, except for Shi Lang, there is no military advisor in the world who is as free and easy, handsome, wise, and calm as me." ”
"Phew! I just wanted to praise you for two sentences, and I returned to my old virtues. The little princess smiled and took the two maidservants back to her room to rest.
In the next few days, He Ran went to preside over the court every day, and made various related cloth around the army grass.
When the envoys sent by the Duke of Xiangguo to invite the monarchs and ministers of Yi to participate in the founding ceremony arrived, He Ran was bidding farewell to Su Pingjiang in the palace.
The envoy brought rich gifts and presented a letter from the Duke of Xiangguo. Su Pingjiang read the letter of state written by Chen Min in the tone of a subordinate monarch and felt infinite emotion, and after sending the envoy, he said to He Ran: "The country of Yi can have today, but it all depends on you ......"
He Ran interrupted with a smile without waiting for him to finish: "Say something else, you always say that this makes me scared in my heart, and the merit is high." ”
Su Pingjiang laughed and said: "You can shake it casually, I don't care, such a day is too comfortable, as long as I can live this kind of life all the time, how you like to toss and how tossed, you can take the throne of King Yi whenever you want." ”
He Ran glanced at him jealously, sighed helplessly, and said, "I'm leaving." ”
Su Pingjiang couldn't bear it, and said: "Or let Xu Tong go, he has been guarding the frontier and has a lot of experience in fighting with the Fanren before." ”
He Ran lowered his head and muttered for a while, and said: "Let's go, this time it's not just to fight with Fanren, Zhao and Shun are likely to send troops, I've been thinking about these things these days, Xu Tong is just like you in this paragraph, I'm afraid he is not well prepared." ”
"But you ......" Su Pingjiang didn't continue, shaking his head worriedly.
"You can live your comfortable life, don't worry about this, I am a hard worker, but there is something I want to discuss with you."
"Speak."
He Ran approached him and said in a low voice: "What I am most worried about when leading the troops outside is the internal strife in the country, a few days ago I went to the Forbidden Valley for a turn, and I remembered the rebellion of the three marquis and the earlier rebellion of the Qi Song brothers, I don't want to make another disaster when the battle is inextricable in front, I have made careful arrangements for the defense inside and outside the royal city, and the generals are also trustworthy, and I can't rest assured that I am in the palace now." ”
Su Pingjiang smiled bitterly: "You still don't worry about her? ”
"I don't know how long I'm going to go, if it's only a few months, it's nothing, but it's ...... a long time, I want you to promise me one thing, so that I can feel at ease outside."
"You say, I'll promise anything, as long as you don't embarrass you."
"It's the same as my last expedition, you come to the court every ten days, and if you don't go to Dazai and the general if you break into the palace to ask about politics, you can't add to the crime."
"That's fine."
"The most important thing is to take care of the seal, during the period when I am away, the appointment and dismissal of officials above the third rank must be agreed by Su Ge, Xu Tong, and Shi Lang, I have already told them about this, if there is an abnormal official appointment or dismissal, and it is not announced by you in the court, I will let them disobey."
"Even what I said in the court that they can disobey if they think it's not suitable, but in fact, I don't care about these things at all."
"It's not necessary, the country is yours, you can do whatever you want, you are not a faint king, what I'm worried about is that others will fake the king's order."
Su Pingjiang defended Nan Camelina: "You don't have to worry about her anymore, she has already told me everything in the past, and vowed not to do anything for Shunguo again, besides, she also knows how powerful you are, and she will never dare to mess around anymore." ”
He Ran smiled noncommittally, "Then I will lead the army to the expedition early tomorrow morning, I will attend the founding ceremony of Xiangguo, in order to confuse the eyes and ears of all parties, I will return with you after the end, and I will sneak back secretly after passing the Axe Broken Gorge, 10,000 soldiers and horses and 10,000 soldiers have gone to the Axe Broken Gorge in batches these days, the enemy's ears and eyes should not notice, there are still 4,000 soldiers on standby near Muhu City, I will take a few officials to Xiangguo tomorrow in the name of participating in the celebration." ”
"Be careful, and it is better to lose some soldiers than to take risks." Su Pingjiang's sincere advice.
When Zhuyin came back, he entered the house and saw He Ran in a daze at the two paintings on several cases, and suddenly saw her come in, obviously a little flustered, and stood up to greet her.
"I walked around the garden in the afternoon, and I saw a place suitable for planting bamboo, let's go, I'll take you to see it."
Zhuyin glanced at him coldly and said, "Isn't it inappropriate to talk about planting bamboo in late autumn, why don't you say something else if you want to coax me out?" ”
He Ran said with a smile: "The excuse for being flustered is too bad, which makes Mrs. laugh." ”
Zhuyin snorted disdainfully, "If you want to hide, go hide it quickly, I don't bother to look at the unsightly things." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out.
He Ran grabbed her and said with a smile: "How can I hide anything from you, come on, come on, I'm just about to let you appreciate my masterpiece and see if it's better than the previous painting?" As he spoke, he pulled her to the front of the case
Zhuyin picked up two paintings and looked at them, the first one was on the prairie, he was smiling and watching the Yi army chase and kill the soldiers under the protection of the guards, and the painting of the banner of the military division was particularly detailed and conspicuous. Without asking, he knew that this was painted for Lin Yan, and Zhuyin couldn't help but laugh because of the exaggerated and funny character shapes and expressions on the screen.
The second painting is a handsome old man lying on the grass with Erlang's legs crossed, with a small grass in his mouth and his demeanor and comfort, the reason why he said that he was a "handsome" old man, is that he painted his old appearance too perfectly, if it is not for the shallow drawing of two wrinkles on the forehead, it is a beautiful young man, the old man's head leads to a string of small circles, the last big circle is painted a man and a woman standing at the head of the city, the battlements, soldiers, etc. are painted very small, the pair of men and women are also very small, the painting focuses on the heads of the two, Both of them were looking at the city, the woman was surprised, and the man tilted his head slightly and looked down at the bottom with a nonchalant attitude.
The meaning of the whole picture is very clear, and when he gets old, he will always remember the time in Bafu City, and remember the sound and smile with Lin Yan.
Zhuyin pursed her lips and said, "The painting is good, especially the old one, it is estimated that it can move Lin Yan to tears." ”
He Ran laughed and said: "You are scolding me, how bad it would be to look at this kind of painting if you cry, you just don't believe it, Lin Yan really has no love for me between men and women." ”
"Okay, don't be a thief, do you want to paint a thousand pieces and send them over, or do you want to send them with the paintings?" Zhuyin said as she handed him the two paintings and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Are you really going to paint a thousand pictures for her? She's just joking. He Ran put the two paintings into a brocade box and sealed them, and when he came to the outer room, he ordered someone to find the messenger who sent a letter to Lin Yan last time.
