Chapter 73: Unintentional Willow Insertion
In early July, Xiao Tian met with Wang Xiang and Yu Zaiting a few more times, talking about the military generals who had died.
The two of them realized the little emperor's intentions, but they didn't think in the same way.
In Wang Xiang's opinion, although Wang Ming is his brother of the same clan, and what he does is indeed a hero, but listening to His Majesty's meaning, it is going to break the rules of the ancestors.
Military generals are already unruly, and a very small number of them are literate and educated, and they often ignore the laws of the court and make impulsive decisions on their heads.
Most of the past dynasties were civilian officials who held positions such as the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and the real military attachés, even if they were from the martial arts, were often led by civilian officials, and they were not as good as civil officials in terms of career promotion and position treatment.
It's not something that can change overnight.
Moreover, the Great Depression suffered, the national capital was initially decided, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt. They had just signed a peace treaty with the Northern Barbarians, and although there were some twists and turns in the middle, they still let everyone go, and they had no intention of going to war.
There will definitely be no war in the short term, and military generals will not be of much use, on the contrary, the internal affairs of the court with intertwined forces need to be properly rectified, which requires the cooperation of a large number of civilian officials.
His Majesty wants to worship the martial soul beyond the standard and posthumously honor him, which will make many civil officials dissatisfied.
That's not a good thing.
What's more, the little majesty in front of the palace more or less, openly or covertly, showed tolerance and love for the generals.
After Taifu left, the closest person to His Majesty was not him Wang Xiang, nor any other Son of Heaven division, but the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Zhao Youchen, a military general who had been on the battlefield and was recruited by Taifu to protect the palace.
Although this is related to the safety of His Majesty, Taifu's arrangement explains the problem to some extent.
However, Wang Xiang is not the kind of person who must point it out in person if he feels that his boss is wrong.
What's more, in his eyes, although his boss is smart and kind, he is a hairless child in the end, and he will not have the right perception if he has not experienced many things.
The method taken by Wang Xiang is: not active, not active, and wait and see.
In contrast, Yu Zaiting is much more realistic. He really looked at a lot of ancient and modern cases according to Xiao Tian's meaning, and then extracted useful information and presented it to Xiao Tian, and he was also very practical, analyzing what she wanted to do for Xiao Tian, and placing it in the current court, all kinds of obstacles that may be encountered.
Once after returning from the palace, Wang Xiang sat in the study and thought quietly.
Mr. Sun smiled beside him: "What are you worried about? ”
Wang Xiang was silent for a while and sighed. "Our Majesty, is really more important than heavy literature."
Mr. Sun disagreed, he knew what Wang Xiang was doing recently, so he said: "I am still young today, and I have experienced that kind of hardship, and I am fortunate to be escorted by military generals all the way to reach Dingzhou safely." Even if His Majesty emphasizes military force and light literature, it should be. But the coming days are long, and the adults will guide them carefully, so why sigh. ”
Wang Xiang asked again: "What does Mr. Sun think of Yu Zaiting?" ”
Mr. Sun smiled again. "That's the adult's proud protégé, and it was the adult who single-handedly promoted him to this position. Adults have always known Lord Yu, so why should they ask. ”
Wang Xiang frowned, "I am very satisfied with this student. Low-key, upright and sleek, with both abilities and wrists, but ......"
Mr. Sun raised an eyebrow.
Wang Xiang twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm afraid my appetite has grown a little." ”
Mr. Sun folded his hands in front of him, and after a while said, "Even if you have a big appetite, you still have to beg for food in the hands of adults." Adults give more and give less, that's not a matter of turning over your hands. ”
Wang Xiang thought of the positive interactions between Yu Zaiting and the little emperor these few times, and frowned slightly, "Young people always like to be impatient, and they can't tell the difference between the important and the heavy. ”
He had secretly made up his mind in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Tian was counting the days with his fingers in the palace, and he fell into anxiety and distress.
Counting the days, there will be ten days at most, and those who come out of the northern capital will arrive at Nanhua City.
Oh my God, she not only wants to place the souls of the generals, but also to meet those legendary royal relatives!
These people are either relatives of this shell, or relatives of the ancestors of this shell, in short, they should all be people who have a certain understanding of this shell.
And these people are different from the ministers, some of them are respected grandfathers and uncles, or she is a shell who has to be careful and courteous!
Taifu, since you can't come back with these people in time, why don't you mention this matter and let Li Qinghe send you a way to deal with it, dear?!
Xiao Tian admired his strong willpower very much, and he didn't even think of throwing the pot and running away in the face of such a difficult and difficult situation!
No, if Taifu doesn't come back, she will definitely not leave!
Xiao Tian felt that he needed to do his homework in advance and get to the bottom of the situation of the royal family.
She was thinking about it, when Mingxiu walked in with a pair of crutches.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as Xiao Tian looked up, he saw the pair of crutches, and he felt strange in his heart.
She is now well, not only can she not use crutches, but she also can't use a wheelchair, so she gave Mingxiu both things to put aside, and she hasn't moved for a while.
What did Mingxiu do when she brought them over? Moreover, her face seemed to be a little pale.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Tian jumped out of his chair and greeted him briskly.
Mingxiu knelt down, handed over a crutch, and said: "Your Majesty, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, they didn't put away the crutches properly, I accidentally knocked them down when I tried the medicine today, and I fell on them in a hurry, and here I was probably pressed by the corner of the table next to me, and it has been recessed." ”
I thought something was going on.
Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and while taking the crutches at will, he pulled her up and said, "Don't fall down without moving." Isn't it just recessed, it's fine. This shows that the abductor is not doing a good job, so it will be so easy to ......"
When the corner of her eye drifted over and saw the small piece that was sunken, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
How can something made of wood be recessed? Even if you want to concave this material, it's impossible, right?
She grabbed the crutch and carefully stroked the recessed place on it with her hand, and when she had touched enough, she suddenly took out the knife inserted in her boots - the knife that Li Qinghe put on the table that day, and scratched the recess on the crutch.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
This piece is not made of wood, it is covered with a layer of paper painted with wood grain!
My God, it's exactly the same as the other wooden places, and it's perfectly connected!
She made a few more strokes, finally revealing a palm-sized piece that had circled around her cane.
There's also a little keyhole there.
There's something hidden in the crutch!
What about the keys? What about the keys?
She looked at Mingxiu, who was already stunned.
