Chapter Twenty-Five: Twelve Military Orders

When Tang Xuanlin hurried back to the courtyard after learning the news, there was a strange scene in the house, Dongchang, who had no half of the women, but only in the house of the Lord Overseer, a fat girl sat with a puff of air, swallowed her saliva silently, and tried to make herself look kind and dignified, but in the end she couldn't hold back, Tang Xuanlin looked at her,

"Chun Tao, where is your young lady?"

Chun Tao weakly pouted at the inside, and Tang Xuanlin's eyes widened in disbelief.

On the simple bed, a small figure lay in a ball, holding Tang Xuanlin's pillow and sleeping sweetly, the long ink-colored hair scattered on the bed, Tang Xuanlin swallowed his saliva silently, and felt a little helpless for a while.

Bu Tong didn't know Tang Xuanlin's haste at all, smacked his mouth and muttered a few words, adjusted a more comfortable position in the same place and continued to fall asleep, Chun Tao couldn't stand it, and quickly stepped forward and gently pushed her, "Miss, wake up quickly, Lord Tang is back." ”

Bu Tong woke up faintly, got up in a daze, his clothes were crooked, his eyes were sleepy, he still held Tang Xuanlin's pillow and didn't let go, turned around and sat cross-legged and yawned, blinking his eyes to look at Tang Xuanlin,

"Coming back?"

A little daughter-in-law who is waiting for her husband to return home, Tang Xuanlin looked at her newly awake and delicate appearance, couldn't help but smile in her eyes, and after a moment of confusion, she still dragged a low stool and sat down opposite.

"Why did you come to me today?"

Butong yawned again, his big misty eyes blinking,

"Uncle went to the palace to ask His Majesty to marry Sister and Brother Peony, this matter will come down in a few days, I am thinking, since Mu Hequan is frustrated, why don't you take advantage of this to pull out one of his minions?"

Tang Xuanlin poured tea for Butong on the side, "Is it the Duke of Zhenguo?" ”

Although Bu Tong's head was a little dull, he still smirked,

"Xuanlin understands me, the military department can't find anything for the time being, Zhenguo Gong wants to take refuge in the new monarch, so as to gain a firm foothold in the court, it's better to start with him, maybe it's easier to find a breakthrough."

Tang Xuanlin handed the teacup to Butong, and there was a specially suppressed gentleness in his voice,

"Drink some tea and wake up, that's what I plan, the Xie family can't get along with Lie Zhanhu openly and secretly, and his son Xie Ting is even more arrogant, it's better to start with him and find out the flaws."

When things go too well, people will behave badly and are prone to make greater mistakes.

It's just, how to find the flaws?

Bu Tong drank a sip of cold tea and stepped forward,

"Xuanlin, I have an idea."

Tang Xuanlin asked with a smile, "Tong'er really has a clever plan?" We have been discussing it for a long time, and we have not yet reached a conclusion. ”

Butong snapped his fingers,

"It's better to go the other way, first conform to their wishes, it is definitely not a good thing for General Liehu to live outside the fortress for a long time, most of them have already had tricks and plans, it is better for Xuanlin to go to your majesty to make a statement, ask your majesty to issue twelve military orders within three days, and ask him to lead his troops."

"So much?" Tang Xuanlin didn't question this method, but was quite emotional about the golden decree of the twelve military orders, "But it's going to be hard for our Majesty." ”

Although he felt shocked, Tang Xuanlin not only ridiculed His Majesty's hard work in writing these twelve military orders, but in fact, he agreed without questioning it.

Bu Tong woke up from sleep, and the whole person was very soft and cute, and stretched out his hand to Tang Xuanlin,

"Hug."

"Oh my mother," Chun Tao stomped on the spot and hidden, Tang Xuanlin hesitated, stepped forward to sit on the edge of the bed, and gently hugged Butong's small body.

Bu Tong whispered, "Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" ”

Tang Xuanlin smiled lightly, and the hot gas sprayed on Bu Tong's neck, "I'm not afraid, Tong'er won't harm me." ”

This was said very firmly, the appearance of the resolute Lord Overseer in the previous life loomed, Bu Tong suddenly began to feel that the two figures were slowly merging together, smelling the faint scent of bamboo charcoal on his body, he only felt that his whole body was relaxed, and with Tang Xuanlin protecting him in the future, there would never be another catastrophe last time.

"The twelve military orders are the last tolerance of an emperor, once the soldiers do not return, they can be punished for rebellion, and prevent it in advance, once the unprepared soldiers come to the city, it will be a river of blood......

Tang Xuanlin nodded,

"I know that the Lie Zhan Hu Department has been out of control for a long time, and the imperial court has long regarded it as a big problem, so I will go to see Your Majesty tomorrow."

Bu Tong wrenched his fingers in self-study, "Xuanlin, there is still half a moon in the next Yuan night, so make plans early." ”

Tang Xuanlin smiled, "Does Tong'er want to ask me to put the river lantern?" ”

Bu Tong suddenly, he only remembered that day's blood flowed, but he forgot that night was the time when men and women put lamps and made wishes, and secretly made a lifelong decision.

"Send people to keep an eye on the dynamics of the front-line army, and strictly guard the entrance to Kyoto City on the night of the next year, when the festival is stable, we can go to the river lantern to make a wish."

Tang Xuanlin gently let go of Butong, and his phoenix eyes smiled, "For the sake of the appointment of the beauty, that day must be too peaceful." ”

……

On the second day, Bu Yiyang took the golden book and sat proudly in the courtyard of Butong, and the whole person exuded a strong joy, "Tong'er, I want to thank you this time, listen to the peony, it was the idea you gave, and she pretended to find a short-term view, and forced her uncle to talk to Your Majesty. ”

Listening to him talk more and more proudly, Bu Tong hurriedly sent off the four attendants,

"Brother is cautious, how can I say everything when I am happy."

Bu Yiyang looked at the holy decree in his hand happily, "After all, the ending is good, and it is not in vain for us to toss this scene." ”

Butong nodded and smiled,

"Sister Peony is an excellent person, and it would be the best thing if she could marry into our family."

Bu Yiyang raised his eyebrows at Bu Tong, "It's not in vain that my brother hurts you." ”

Bu Tong smiled and made tea for Bu Yiyang, the small stove was bubbling with "gurgling", Bu Yiyang suddenly sighed with emotion,

"General Liehu I was famous, but now he can't resist the decree and not return ......"

"Resist?" Bu Tong tilted his head, took a small tea set and cleaned it carefully,

"Has Your Majesty returned to Kyoto?"

Bu Yiyang sighed and nodded, "Two imperial pen decrees in a row, there are 100,000 troops in the hands of the Liezhan Tiger, how can Your Majesty let it go." ”

Bu Tong smiled "hee-hee", "When my brother first came back, he admired General Liehu a lot, but now he can see it clearly?" ”

Bu Yiyang smacked his lips, "It's not that I see it clearly, the general is a person, but in fact, he is straightforward, brave and strategic, if you want to say that he has the intention to commit treason, I don't believe it first, but I don't want to resist the decree and not return, it really shouldn't be, even if there is anything unspeakable, it can be played on the table Your Majesty, so there is no news, and it is unsettling to be a person." ”

Bu Tong vaguely began to feel that something was not right, and muttered, "Brother's evaluation of Lie Zhanhu is really not low." ”

Bu Yiyang touched his nose and reached out to take the tea cup handed by Bu Tong, "Lie Zhanhu is not from a high background, and he was also bullied by many children of the family in his early years, so he is very upright, and he never wants to be in the same stream with the people who compete for fame and fortune in the court, which is why I was willing to follow him in the first place......"

Bu Tong's pointed fingertips touched the rim of the cup, "This kind of human nature must not be pretended, my brother has never been inaccurate in seeing people, but why ...... now?"

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, until Tang Xuanlin turned over the window at night, Chun Tao went to guard the door with supper, Bu Tong still looked like he was thinking hard, Tang Xuanlin took off his cloak, he was dressed in a dark gold suit, with narrow sleeves and a waist, and it seemed that the whole person was very chic, but at this time, Bu Tong didn't have any appreciation at all, Tang Xuanlin approached,

"The girl is missing her crush?"

Bu Tong looked up at him and suddenly spoke,

"Xuanlin, how many general orders has Your Majesty issued?"

Tang Xuanlin pondered for a moment,

"Four."

Bu Tong looked at him with some uneasiness,

"Xuanlin, I always feel that things are not exactly what we thought, and some things seem to have been missed."

Tang Xuanlin squatted down and half-knelt in front of Bu Tong, "Tong'er, don't think about it too much, with me, there won't be any accidents." ”

Bu Tong nodded, yes, with Tang Xuanlin here, of course he won't have any accidents, but he is always afraid of accidentally hurting an upright person......

On the second day, His Majesty's military order was issued to the eighth road, and rumors were rife in Kyoto City, Tang Xuanlin immediately led people to take over the imperial guards, and installed brocade guards in charge, stationed inside and outside the imperial city and major entry and exit arteries, all of them were people dressed like brocade guards, and the swords on their waists made people shudder, and they kept a certain safe distance.

Bu Tong and Chun Tao walked on the street, there was always a feeling that disaster was coming, Chun Tao looked at the streets with obviously fewer small vendors and pouted, "Miss, the people are rumored that General Liehu is going to rebel, you see that this family is closed, it's really a little scary." ”

Bu Tong patted her hand,

"What are you afraid of? Uncle went out of the city yesterday to assemble the team, and even if the war tiger had the heart of a thief, he might not be able to succeed, so why bother talking about it earlier. ”

There was a group of officers and soldiers searching in front, it was very noisy, Chun Tao pointed to an alley,

"Miss, this place can lead to the Treasure Pavilion, let's go short, so as not to be interrogated."

Bu Tong praised Chun Tao for being "intimate", and the two turned into the alley, but they said it too early, and walked to about a third of the place, Bu Tong looked at a few brightly dressed and dirty young people sitting next to a few dimly lit piles of miscellaneous objects in front of him, and then pulled Chun Tao,

"Chun Tao, let's go back and take the road."

Chun Tao naturally saw it in her eyes, nodded and helped Bu Tong to walk back, who knew that there were two people following behind, looking at Bu Tong with squints,

"Yo roar, whose lady is this? Born so brightly, can't you find your way home? Brothers, help you take a look? ”

Bu Tong was speechless, how could there be such scum who molested girls in the alleys of any era.

Chun Tao took Bu Tong behind him and said sharply, "Who are you from?" Dare to stand in the way of my young lady, don't you want to live? ”

"Oh, what a big tone," a group of people were immediately enraged and approached with bad intentions.

"We want to try, if we don't let your young lady out of this alley today, will there really be no way to live, or will your master have to come to the door to give gifts, please don't make a noise?"

"You!" Chun Tao tightly guarded Butong, "Get away, no one is allowed to touch my young lady, I'm worried that someone will cut off your claws when you turn around!" ”

The more those people talked, the more eager they were to try, Bu Tong sighed and shook his head,

"Why bother, I look at the clothes and clothes are all famous and noble, but I can't think about it like this."
