The eldest grandson Song chewed a tea stem, and the horsewhip subconsciously hit the soles of his boots.

This Ah Bogan didn't come with the herald! He actually asked the coach to wait for him! If you want to grow Sun Song's temper in the past, you will definitely whip him a few times.

But today's eldest grandson Song won't smoke whoever he wants.

What's more, Ah Bogan is not a person who can smoke if he wants.

In the past, when sending troops, the emperor only appointed the commander-in-chief, and below the deputy general, were all selected by the commander-in-chief himself, and the emperor nodded his head to the commander. This time he was ordered to go on the expedition, and he already had an ideal candidate for deputy general in his heart, and he was supposed to recommend it to the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't give himself this opportunity at all, and directly designated Abogan as a deputy general, commanding 5,000 cavalry.

If he played against the emperor alone, he might try to get His Majesty to change people. It's a pity that Cui Hao was by the emperor's side at that time.

Cui Hao, an old fox Han man, is full of ghost ideas, and Changsun Song hates him very much. However, this man was very popular with the emperor, and Tuoba said that he was the grandson who did not wear armor, and Wu Qi, who could not shoot arrows. He even once said to his ministers that if Shangshu felt that he couldn't make a decision on military affairs, he would consult Cui Hao, and then do what Cui Hao said. I heard that the prince also liked him. In this way, the glory of the next dynasty also has a foundation. Originally, the Han officials in the court were very well-behaved, but since Cui Hao gained power, they have ascended to heaven, and in front of the Xianbei officials, they are not so low-browed.

Several Xianbei old ministers also used to speak ill of Hanchen in front of the emperor. At first, the emperor at least had a posture of being obedient, but then he became impatient.

Once, the emperor's uncle Tuoba took a few old emperors to the palace to complain, and it happened that the eldest grandson Song was there.

Tuoba said that there were traitors in the court, and asked His Majesty to cut off his head. The emperor smiled and said, Uncle Huang, who do you think is a traitor?

Tuoba Zhen poked the ground with a cane: "Cui Hao is a traitor!" ”

The smile on the emperor's face is still there:

"Come on, set up a seat for a few imperial uncles and brothers, and everyone sit down and talk slowly. Uncle Huang, come and listen, why is this Cui Hao a traitor? ”

Tuoba's white beard shook and shook:

"Your Majesty, don't forget, you have to rely on our Xianbei children to fight the world. The Xianbei people carried their heads to fight in the south and the north, and these Han people enjoyed their success. This Cui Hao, his father is ranked in the Eight Pillars Country, and the Xianbei people are not convinced. What about him? Just rely on rhetoric to fool the emperor, and the promotion is faster than the scarred Xianbei veterans, who is not resentful? Since beating this person, the minds of the Xianbei people in the government and the opposition have been confused. Your Majesty, you don't know what outsiders say? Xianbei people now worship Han people as teachers, learn Chinese, read Han books, and say that it is better to be able to write than to shoot arrows, and it is better to brag than to kill enemies. In the long run, is Xianbei still Xianbei? Without Xianbei, where else did the Great Wei come from? ”

Tuoba listened without saying a word, still smiling.

But the eldest grandson Song had already begun to sweat for Tuoba. This old man only cares about talking happily, but he doesn't care about the emperor's taboos. Tuoba can tolerate him attacking Cui Hao, but he definitely doesn't like to listen to words like "fooling the emperor". Tuoba is smart and self-serving, and will not be deceived by anyone at all. You say that he is fooled, it is better to directly say that he is confused and mediocre.

After a cough, the emperor slowly spoke:

Uncle Huang still coughed. The medicine I gave you last time doesn't seem to work. ”

Tuoba quality hastened to thank:

"The medicine is a good medicine, and after drinking it for a while, most of the old problems have gone. The old minister is just anxious and choking! ”

Tuoba nodded:

"Do you still have the washed essence salt that I gave you? If you finish eating, I'll ask someone to bring you a few more taels. ”

Tuoba had a smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit:

"How can you eat such a precious thing so quickly? I can't even eat it. ”

Tuoba also looked at him with a smile:

"Old man He Lilou can't do it now, his concubine is still very young, I heard that the imperial uncle likes it, if you really want it, I will go and tell He Lilou's son, when He Lilou dies, let her not be martyred, and leave it to the imperial uncle!"

Embarrassed and excited, Tuoba lowered his head whimsically, rubbing his hands nervously.

Eldest Sun Song vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything. This emperor, although not as domineering as the previous emperor Tuoba Si, is also a bold and categorical Xianbei man, who has always disliked his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and today he is willing to say so much trivial about his parents.

Tuoba's smile is still there:

"Last time, the imperial aunt chatted with the queen mother, saying that the imperial uncle, you like to collect jade pots from the Southern Dynasty, I just went in and listened to half a sentence. Is it a lot of collection? ”

When it comes to the jade pot, Tuoba is even more energetic:

"It's not much, and the old minister has collected about twenty. These jade pots in the Southern Dynasty are really finely made. A few days ago, Lao Chen just received a handful, and his fist was a little bigger, and the pot was actually carved with eight scenes of Yangzhou. The old minister had a bad look in his eyes and asked his son to show it. The son said that such a small place, from the palace and mountains to the birds and fish, is the same as the real thing. The hibiscus flower is the size of a flax grain, and the stamen can be carved clearly; There are also many people engraved, all of them are very small and very small, but the facial features, robes and belts, and utensils are there"

When he said it, he just chattered, and the corners of his mouth foamed at the mouth, and he didn't notice that Tuoba's smile had turned into a sinister smile.

Suddenly, the emperor stretched out his hand and slapped the case in front of him, shaking the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to jump:

"That's enough!"

Tuoba was abruptly interrupted, his body trembled, and before he could come back to his senses, Tuoba had already roared thunderily:

"You are long and humble in front of me, I think you are all determined to die only wearing leather robes, only eating barbecue, only drinking mare's milk wine, when you are sick, you only pray to God and do not take medicine, you will not touch the same thing as the Han people for life, and you will not make a Han friend! If you do this, I will also accept that you have a beginning and an end. But did you do it? Love the Han people's washed salt, eat the medicine of the Han people when they are sick, take the Han people's playthings as treasures, and still think about the Han people's beauties when they have a white beard! With your kind of behavior, you dare to be an orthodox Xianbei elder in front of me! actually said crazy words, saying that Cui Hao was fooling me! Although I dare not compare myself to the emperor, I am not so confused that I will be deceived by others. If the imperial uncle thinks that I am unclear, surrounded by traitorous ministers, and is going to ruin the Xianbei country, you can just say it, see which Xianbei royal family can sit in my seat, I will definitely let Xian! Uncle Huang still has the spirit to play with women, it can be seen that the spirit is still very strong, you might as well lead the Xianbei veteran you said, go directly to the palace to Qingjun's side, and punish Chao wrong! ”

It was like a thunderbolt slamming on Tuoba's head, and the old man almost threw himself directly from the Hu bed to the ground, took a few steps forward, hugged Tuoba Hu's legs and cried. Several other royal princes also fell to their knees together:

"The emperor forgives the sin, the old slave lost his word, and the crime deserves death! Sin deserves death! ”

Changsun Song couldn't stand anymore, so he quickly knelt down with him.

Tuoba was silent, and waited for a few old Xianbei to cry and beg for a while with a dark face, before he sighed:

"Eldest Sun Song, you help Uncle Huang to get up for me, and everyone gets up too."

Fu was helped up, but he didn't sit down, so everyone had to stand. Tuoba reached out and touched his forehead, as if to wipe his troubles away:

"I know that you are for my good, for the good of Great Wei. However, Dawei is better, and it is not possible to rely on Xianbei's strength alone. Xianbei Iron Rider is invincible in the world, this is true. But no matter how powerful the army is, if it can't use ideas, it won't be able to fight the world. These Han people, they are helping me decide where and when to use these iron horses. Uncle Huang, do you know Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao? ”

Tuoba nodded as he wiped his tears.

"Han Gaozu Liu Bang divided the meritorious heroes, and gave the highest title to the civil official Xiao He, but the generals were not convinced. Liu Bang said that this is like hunting, although it is the hunting dog that catches the prey, but it is the hunter who directs the hunting dog. Xiao He is a hunter, and these generals are hunting dogs, and of course the meritorious people should have a higher status than the meritorious dogs. ”

Tuoba listened to the emperor's meaning as if Cui Hao was a human being, and Xianbei was a dog, and he wanted to say two sentences, but he didn't dare, so he slowly lowered his head. Tuoba went on to say:

"This is all a matter of ancient Han people. Let's talk about things that are not far from us. After Yongjia, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qianren, Di people, and Qiang people produced a group of heroes who founded the country and became emperors. But counting over and over, before the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the only people who really achieved a career were Shi Le and Fu Jian. Shi Le's success relied on the Han Zhang Bin; Fu Jian's career is inseparable from the Han Wang Meng. As soon as these two people died, Shi Le and Fu Jian also began to decline. My Dawei has the world in mind and aims to unify Liuhe, can't I still tolerate a Cui Hao? ”

These historical facts are not far apart, and they are hard to put in the stories passed down by the Xianbei people, and they cannot help but be unconvinced.

After Tuoba said this, his expression softened a little, stood up and walked a few steps, standing with his back to several royal princes:

"I still have something to deal with, and a few imperial uncles and brothers can retire and rest. But I want to ask you to take a story away and go back to all the Xianbei nobles who are not used to seeing Cui Hao. ”

All of them pricked up their ears involuntarily.

Tuoba went to the door of the room, looked at a crow's nest in the big tree outside the house, muttered for a while, and spoke:

Fu Jian met Wang Meng, hated to see each other late, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. The old men of the Di nationality who followed the Fu family to fight the world were very unconvinced, and one named Fan Shi was particularly resentful. Once he said to Wang Meng that we worked hard to fight the world and farm, and we actually let you eat white food. Wang Meng didn't give in, saying that not only do you want to eat, but you have to serve it to me when it's ready. Fan Shi was very angry and threatened not to hang Wang Meng's head on the head of Chang'an City and swore not to be a man. Wang Meng told Fu Jian about it. Two days later, Fu Jian convened everyone to discuss the matter, and Fan Shi and Wang Meng argued again. Fan Shi jumped up to beat Wang Meng"

At this, Takubashi stopped. The house was silent, and the crows could be heard outside.

Eldest Sun Song had heard this story told before, and he already knew the ending, but those Xianbei royal relatives were ignorant, stretching their necks and waiting for the following. Eldest Sun Song couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Tuoba had brewed enough, turned around, and looked at several people with sparkling eyes:

"Fu Jian was furious and cut off Fan Shi's head on the spot!"

Raised his hand and made a knife swing motion.

Several royal princes subconsciously shrank back, and one of them unconsciously touched his neck

Thinking of this scene now, Eldest Sun Song can feel the chill in Tuoba Hei's eyes. Regarding the candidate for the deputy general of this expedition, he didn't know whether it was Cui Hao's idea or the emperor's own intention, so he didn't dare to raise a defense. He was afraid that once he brushed Cui Hao's face, he would be in trouble afterwards. Cui Hao was by the emperor's side all day long, and he said a word or two inadvertently, and if he didn't make a good fuss, he would ruin his future.

But he was really dissatisfied with this Ah Bogan.

But what can be done? Cui Hao can't be offended lightly, and Ah Bo is not easy to mess with.

Abogan is the nephew of Tuoba Hei, and his mother, who is Tuoba Hei's youngest sister, pesters his brother all day long to promote and reward his son. Tuoba is such a hard-hearted person, but he has always loved and spoiled this little sister. However, Tuoba had a clear distinction between public and private, and rewarded his nephew very generously, never stingy with horses, cattle and sheep, slaves and maids, and silk and utensils from the Central Plains; As for official positions, they are never given lightly. But Ah Bo didn't ask for it, anyway, he didn't have any ambitions except to play with women. Most of the Xianbei royal families of the same age as him have been assassins and generals, and he is a handful of years old, although he is known as the Jizhou Assassin History, in fact, he has never been to take office, but he has a false title to lead Yulu, and this is what his wife asked from his emperor's uncle before she died.

A few years ago, Tuoba Hei specially held a ceremony in the palace, and asked Abo to worship Cui Hao as a teacher and learn the art of war. This time, Tuoba asked him to follow the eldest grandson Song on the expedition, probably because he felt that there was no risk in monitoring the Jin army, and he completed his errand peacefully, which can be regarded as having the qualifications to fight. But now, the task has changed, and the surveillance has become a drag. As a striker and commanding the elite, Ah Bogan has no contribution, and he will release arrows when he hears about it. I also heard that he got a Han woman, who tossed all night, making the army impetuous. That's not all, I just got the news that he was actually captured by several Jin army outlaws, and he also had a knife cut on his neck. If it weren't for the cleverness of his subordinates, it is estimated that he would either become Liu Yu's subordinate prisoner, or lose his head. This is related to the national character and military prestige of the Great Wei, and it is by no means a trivial matter, and it must be asked clearly.

Thinking so, a herald came in:

"General Jizhou Thorn Shi Abogan asks to see!"

Eldest Sun Song let out a foul breath. According to his original intention, this disrespectful gentleman should be waited at the tent for a while, in order to take revenge on him for his belated arrival. But the military situation was urgent, so I had to show the "demeanor of a general" and endure him this time.

"Please!
