Yang Zhi looked at the long-term future in Jinling, and Emperor Zhao Qi was very angry in Chang'an. Considering that the war with the Turks was at a critical moment, and the news of Suizhou's defeat was not suitable for publicity, Zhao Qiqiang endured his anger and only locked himself in the imperial study for an hour, and then calmly looked at things as usual.

For a long time, while Yang Zhi was figuring out the emperor's thoughts, the emperor never forgot to ponder Yang Zhi. Since Yang Cheng helped the first emperor thwart the counterplot of the former crown prince Zhao Heng and led the troops back to Beijing, the original relationship with Zhao Qi gradually drifted apart, and he became more and more cold to him day by day.

Since then, Zhao Qi has had a knot in his heart: Could it be that Yang Zhi has already seen through his father's painstaking cultivation of me? My father has repeatedly told this guy that he has the ability to threaten the Great Xia country, is it true? Didn't this guy ever take me seriously? Have you ever looked down on me? That being the case, I don't believe in this evil, but I want to show you!

In the previous life, this was a typical rich second generation who was arrogant and had a city in mind. No, it should be said that it is the "second generation of emperors". Yang Zhi sighed as early as the beginning of his acquaintance with Zhao Qi: No way. Who made the family's life so good that there was a father who was the emperor? Now it's the turn of this thing to be the emperor.

In the battle report submitted by Yang Yao to Chang'an, in addition to briefly reporting the process of defeat, he pleaded guilty, and did not mention Zhang Bohu, because Zhao Qi still does not know why Zhang Bohu is a Xu person.

Prioritize things, defeat is defeat! Daxia has pressed Nanchu for so many years, so people are not allowed to bite you occasionally? It's not a big deal to think about it. Zhao Qiyu's reply to Yang Yao is straightforward and rational, and it seems to be very uplifting: First, summarize the lessons. Pacify the morale of the army. The second is to compensate the soldiers who died in battle according to the precedent of the Xia army. The third is that there is not a word to reprimand Yang Yao. Instead, he told him how the old man of the Yang family taught his grandson Yang Meng. What's wrong with losing? Just go and fight again!

The Emperor's reply to the recital. As a rule, it is transferred to the Cabinet in charge of the University and then issued. The first emperor was extremely authoritative, and although he was lenient and strict with his courtiers, he left the impression of most people that he was rigid and terrifying, especially if he could not tolerate defeat in the conquest, he was usually severely reprimanded, which made people feel cold all over the body. When you saw this reply, you suddenly felt refreshed. Only Xu Wenhan had a look of concern for himself, and his face was indifferent and did not say a word.

Geng Jin was originally only on the fringes of the government and politics related to the important affairs of the military state, and was nominally a "Zuoli" military government. In fact, he was not responsible for any specific matters at hand. But as soon as the end of the war began, he came to the court every day, rain or shine. After struggling to the scattered dynasty, he went straight to Xu Wenhan's official room and accosted: "Xu Xiang, this is all scattered, why are you still immersed in official business?" ”

Xu Wenhan is still in charge of the old business of acting for money and food, and the war in the north has not yet ended, and the war in the south has started again, so these days are naturally busier than usual. Geng Jin obviously asked knowingly. replied casually: "It's Geng Shuai!" Haven't you left yet? Regardless of whether the dynasty is dispersed or not, it is always today's business and today's completion, and it is just a matter of fulfilling my duty. ”

Xu Wenhan not only had a faint relationship with Geng's father and son, but also with the ministers of the court. There are few contacts, and there is no intersection with Geng's father and son on weekdays.

Xu Wenhan was silent, and Geng Jin saw that there was no one else in the official room at this time. After a moment's hesitation, he asked bluntly: "The emperor's reply to Yang Yao's war report." I don't know what Xu Xiang thinks? ”

How shrewd is Xu Wenhan? It has long been expected that Geng Jin is here for this. He replied, "Very good." ”

Geng Jin fought for half his life and made great achievements. The official has reached the best of the martial arts, and he still takes care of a little bit of prestige and face. Boos sighed: "The old man and father and son are the first in every war, and they have not been defeated. I don't want to be more generous and benevolent than the previous emperor today! ”

Geng's father and son unified the army in the same dynasty and were jealous of two generations of emperors. The new emperor's quiet intention to control the military power, enrich his wings, and promote and cultivate a new generation of military forces that are absolutely loyal to him will surely remove all obstacles on this road without mercy. However, as the first emperor said, as a monarch, there are things that can only be done, not said. What's more, there is no empirical evidence, even if someone eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to risk the emperor's disapproval, they don't know how to speak.

Geng Jin and Xu Wenhan both knew this section, so Geng Jin only tactfully expressed the resentment in his heart. Seriously speaking, Geng's father and son are both loyal and pure ministers of Great Xia, and the mistake is that they should not have chosen sides too early in the matter of competing for the crown!

Geng Jin's expression was sad, and his eyes were quite helpless. No matter who it is, losing a child in old age is always a tragic life. Xu Wenhan couldn't bear it for a while, and said with a faint smile: "Is it lenient and broad?" With all due respect, if Yang Yao loses again, he will definitely die. ”

Geng Jin was stunned and said: "How can anyone in the world dare to guarantee victory in a hundred battles?" If you are defeated or die, who will dare to fight after the Great Summer? The old man is stupid, please ask Xu Xiang to teach! - Oh, Xu Xiangquan can rest assured that the old man is willing to guarantee the life of the whole family with more than 100 mouthfuls, and he will never talk too much, but will only rot in his stomach. ”

Xu Wenhan said in a low voice: "Geng Shuai doesn't need to be so solemn!" I'm just speculating on the holy will, and I won't admit it left or right. One defeat can be tolerated, and then defeated and withdrawn, it is common sense, and it also shows that the emperor is benevolent and righteous, showing kindness. But Geng Shuai never thought that Yang Yao was really defeated! If he is not removed, how can there be so many vacant positions in the army for the emperor to be promoted and replaced? If he is evacuated, how will he be resettled after returning to Beijing? Geng Shuai was the first Wuyingdian scholar in Great Xia because of his high merits, but Yang Yao's military exploits were far inferior to Geng Shuai! Shuai Geng has commanded the army for many years, and there are not a few subordinate generals who have deep friendships, and you must know that Yang Yao is the same! These people have nothing to say on the surface, how will they feel in private? And as soon as Yang Yao dies, does the emperor still need to worry about so much trouble? ”

"I have been friends with Yang Zhi for eight years, and I am familiar with the temperament of his father and son and the situation in the house. The old man of the Yang family taught his grandson to fight again after he lost, and it is true, but this is only the first half of the sentence. Does Geng Shuai know what the second half of the sentence is? If you can't beat it again, you don't have to come back! own grandson, naturally this can't be taken seriously. But Yang Yao is the commander of the army in Great Xia, not the grandson of the emperor! ”

"A general who can be entrusted with the heavy task of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops is by no means a dull person. If Yang Yao wins the battle again, the emperor can only slowly figure it out. If he loses the battle again, does Geng Shuai think he still has a way to live? ”

Geng Jin listened attentively and chewed carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked. There are talented people in the country, and the core figures of Yang Zhi Group are all the top first-class people in the world, so it is no wonder that they can stand out from the crowd and become a powerful force that they dare not underestimate including the imperial power.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and knelt down, and kowtowed again and again: "Xu Xiang is talented, the old man is like an initiation!" My son Geng Chao is in a desperate situation, and I hope that Xu Xiang will help him save his life! Great kindness, my Geng family will be rewarded! (To be continued.) )
