In the Diligent Palace

"The emperor is angry, only by sending troops to support this matter quickly can we save the general and my Dayan hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in fire and water!" Wang Shan, the secretary of the military department, is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, and he is already an old minister of the two dynasties. Although he is old, he also has a lot of enthusiasm, he fought on the battlefield when he was young, and he fell ill, and now he can only walk on crutches, but he is not slow, and he is highly respected in the court.

The eldest prince took over and said, "Why don't we know how quickly we need to gather soldiers and horses?" I just dare to ask Lord Wang, without General Yun, who else in the court can lead troops to the battle? ”

Prime Minister Lei Huairen also frowned and said: "Moreover, Hu Yanxiao dares to surround Lunxi Pass, which means that he has enough confidence to deal with the reinforcements of our dynasty."

The emperor also nodded and said, "Who will lead the troops, who can Aiqing recommend?" The three of them were silent all of a sudden, if this problem was well solved, they would have already sent troops now, and they still had to wait for them to discuss?

Su Guogong is already old this year, although he was the first master of the nobles of the Great Yan Kingdom when he was young, but now he is useless; Aquaman is even more ignorant, he can only be an idle prince; There is still a General Li in the DPRK, but he is in command of the Imperial Forest Army, and the other generals only rely on a little bit of paper talk skills, and they have never even seen the battlefield.

Wang Shan secretly scolded the old thing who had no vision for the first emperor, who only cared about his own entertainment, and didn't know how to think about his descendants at all. Then he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle!"

The emperor said helplessly: "Lord Wang, I know that you are eager to serve the country, but now that you are old and have a foot disease that fell in your early years, how can I agree to your request." The eldest prince also said: "Yes, Lord Wang, you still recommend some good candidates to lead the troops."

Lei Huairen hesitated for a while, and then said respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the old minister, I don't know if it is suitable?"

"Oh? Tell me about it? The attention of the emperor and the two of them was attracted by Lei Huairen, and they only listened to him: "This person is the emperor, your brother-in-law, the prince of the Suguo Mansion, Zhang Moyu."

Zhang Moyu, the son of the Suguo Mansion, is the younger brother of the queen and the father of the lord of Ni. Since childhood, he has been on the battlefield with the Duke of Suguo, but later he was knighted, and there was another Yunde, and the border was stable all the year round, which gradually buried the talent of the prince of the Duke of Suguo. He is also under the influence of Su Guogong, he is decisive in killing, he is a person who can do great things, and his temperament is too cold and hard after returning from the battlefield, but no girl in the capital dared to marry him at that time, and later it was the first emperor's Xiaoyi Empress Dowager to make the decision, and married the eldest lady of the Hua family to him, which was a little better. Now he and Miss Hua are like guests, and they also have the lord of Heni. It is also a good story in Beijing.

"The prince of Suguo," the emperor stroked his beard and said, "I have forgotten him, he is also a good material who can fight, and he is the prince of Suguo!" ”

As he spoke, the eunuch outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's already the fourth watch, so it's not too late for you to change your clothes first and go to the early court." It turned out that it was the time of the early dynasty, and the emperor had to dress very formally no matter what time it was, so the emperor went to change his clothes and then had breakfast. As for the matter of leading troops, anyway, the ministers of the early dynasty will always come.

In fact, the ancient early dynasty system only had systematic and standardized rules in the Ming Dynasty, but every dynasty had an early dynasty, which was generally held outdoors when the sun rose. Rain or shine, the implication is to let God listen to the government, only the mandate of heaven is followed, so generally every day the early dynasty will be very grand, just like a sacrifice, in fact, it is almost the same as a sacrifice, but in the Qing Dynasty, the early dynasty system was canceled, the so-called early dynasty is just to invite a few ministers to discuss together, probably because the Qing Dynasty emperors want to sleep lazy?

In the Great Yan Kingdom, the place where the early dynasty was held was in front of the Longyin Palace. It was large enough that it was also designed as a circular palace wall.

"Yesterday, there was an urgent report from the front line, General Yunde was besieged at Lunxi Pass, and a general who can fight on the battlefield is urgently needed to command reinforcements. Prince of Suguo, you will lead your troops to the Western Province to help General Yun on the same day! The emperor ordered.

"Minister, obey the order." Zhang Moyu, the prince of Suguo, said.

"Wait!" Zhennan Wang said, "The minister has objections!" ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, King Zhennan was fortunately the brother of the first emperor, and even the emperor had to give him some face, otherwise his color would have been cleaned up by the emperor. "What objection does the king of Zhennan have?"

"The minister also wants to kill the enemy for the country and defend Dayan!" Zhennan Wang said loudly.

At this time, another voice interjected, "Minister's objection!" King Zhennan, although you have fought in the past, but now you are also old, and you really can't go on the field to kill the enemy, and the prince of Suguo fought on the battlefield in his early years, and made great contributions to Dayan, and now he is still young, and the minister thinks that the prince of Suguo is the best candidate! "It's Scholar Ouyang University.

The emperor also nodded and said, "Uncle Huang also has a heart, but Uncle Huang is an elder and he is too old to lead troops to the battle, so he still has to focus on the overall situation."

At this time, the king of Zhennan was speechless, and walked back to where he should be with his head down.

After the morning court, Zhang Moyu hurriedly rushed home to say goodbye to his wife, parents and children.

Hua Yunsheng, the princess of Suguo, is the eldest lady of the big family, and she has seen Zhang Moyu for several years, and now when she hears that her husband is going out to help the army, she can't help but worry: "Husband, you must be careful in this expedition." I heard that the West Adult is very cunning, you must be careful, there may be an enemy ambush in the Valley of West Wind! ”

Although Hua Yunshang is a beautiful girl, she is not a woman who teaches her husband and children all day long, and she can only be a popular woman, and many times, Zhang Moyu is also willing to follow her advice.

"Well, I know." Zhang Moyu said, "If I die on the battlefield, let Jing'er be named the ...... of the world."

"Master, don't say it, you won't die, if you die, Yunshang will follow you to the Nine Springs, and you won't live alone!" Hua Yunshang said seriously.

Zhang Moyu was originally known in Beijing for his cold and hard temperament and no pity for women, but Hua Yunsheng's beauty and virtuousness, gentleness and thoughtfulness made the two fall in love for a long time. Now that he is on the expedition, life and death are difficult to decide, but his wife is willing to accompany him to Huangquan, Zhang Moyu's heart warmed, and said: "If I really can't come back, you can't accompany me." If we're all gone, what will happen to our hearts? What about Jing'er? My father and mother are too old to be left to serve......"

"Husband......" Hua Yunshang has been a lady for so many years, and she has only cried twice, the first time is the crying when she is newly married, and the second time is when the old Mr. Hua family dies, this is the third time...... The husband and wife, who have been in love for many years, are about to go on the expedition.

Zhang Moyu could only gently hold her shoulder and sighed slightly. He is a husband and a courtier, and now, naturally, the courtier comes first, and the husband comes last, so it is impossible for him to disobey the emperor's order......
