In the afternoon, the cool breeze blew into the imperial study, and the empress, who was a little drunk, smiled and said, "Good wind." ”

Wang Xiaolai also sat cross-legged in the room: "Isn't it." ”

Also present were Liu Maolin, Fan Lin, and Lu Yiping.

Feng Qingyun's words, the empress did not call him this time.

"Little Laizi, let's say, this time, what official do you want? When you first set out on the expedition, I counted all the words I said. A victory for a quality officer. ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled: "Even if it doesn't work." ”

The empress looked at him puzzled.

Wang Xiaolai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have won a lot of games this time, before I set out, I was a five-grade servant, I have to follow this algorithm, hehe..."

The empress raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "What, you still fancy my position?" ”

The empress was joking with Wang Xiaolai, but Liu Maolin and the three of them hurriedly waved their hands: "Your Majesty, you must not say this." ”

The empress pursed her lips and said how she had forgotten about these three, so she said, "It's okay, I'm kidding, right, little Laizi." ”

Wang Xiaolai just smiled.

The empress snorted twice: "Laugh, you know laugh, I ask you, the official position in the Manchu Dynasty, you can choose, say, what kind of official do you want to be." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed.

The empress said: "There are now first-class officials in the court, including the general, the prince, the imperial doctor, the hussar general, the chariot general, and the Shang Shuling. However, the prime minister's seat is now sitting in the old prime minister's seat, and the Taifu's seat is now sitting in the emperor's uncle, these two, don't think about it for the time being. ”

Liu Maolin also joked: "The marshal should never compete with the old man for a job." ”

Wang Xiaolai's face turned red when he heard this.

Looking at his appearance, everyone laughed out loud.

"It's better for you to be the imperial doctor, just get together with the old Xiangguo and the imperial uncle, and be a three-person sitting." Empress Dao.

(Three solitary sitting, also known as the three dukes, officials must stand in the last dynasty, only the three dukes are qualified to kneel and sit on the futon, because the three dukes of the past dynasties are different, so the position of the three dukes is different, the three dukes of Suiyang are the prime minister, the Taifu, and the imperial doctor.) ）

"And what does Dr. Goshi do?" Wang Xiaolai asked.

The empress said: "Supervise hundreds of officials, including the prime minister and the princess who are also the three dukes." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted: "Isn't that a small report?" ”

The empress smiled: "Almost. ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "Forget it, I can't do this." ”

"What about the general who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses?" The Empress asked.

"There are too many official things in this matter, Your Majesty, you know, I am a person who likes to be idle, I can't do it, I can't do it."

"What about the Taishi?"

"What does this do?" Wang Xiaolai was puzzled.

"Teach the Son of Heaven."

"Your Majesty, you know more than me, do you still need me to teach you?" Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress pretended to be angry: "You bastard, don't want this, don't want that, what do you want?" ”

Liu Maolin and the others also laughed: "Marshal Wang, or you can be a prince, anyway, you have nothing to do, and you don't have so many affairs to be entangled, which is the best match for you." ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "Don't say goodbye, I'll just make a book casually, it's best to give me a shrewd and capable squire to help." ”

The empress shook her head: "No, you have a lot of merit to make a second-grade Shangshu, you don't feel ashamed, I still feel ashamed." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

The empress slapped her thigh: "Yes, anyway, you are also a military attaché, and you have a set of leading troops to fight, in this case, you can choose any of the three generals in the imperial court." ”

"Ahh

"Ah what, general, hussar ride, you pick any one, otherwise, I will let you be the third prince, or Shang Shuling." The Empress snorted.

"Shang Shuling?"

"It's the top boss of the Six Books of Shangshu." Fan Lin accosted, and at the same time, he also smiled and said: "If the marshal does the Shang Shu Order, then the old man and Brother Lu will have to salute when they see the marshal, after all, the boss." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed at the time: "Otherwise, just the hussar general." ”

"Will you lead cavalry?"

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No." ”

"Then what are you doing hussar generals."

"It's also a ride."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's the general." The Empress made up her mind.

"It's not Your Majesty, isn't this a discussion, how did you decide for yourself?"

"Do you have an opinion?"

"Nope."

The empress snorted: "Originally, the position of this great general was concurrently held by Duke Lu, you were originally a subordinate of Duke Lu, and you were born in the Wangcheng Guards, so you can be regarded as a protégé of Duke Lu, and the disciple took over the burden of the teacher, which can be regarded as the past." I have made up my mind, and in three days, the General's Seal will be delivered to you. ”

Wang Xiaolai muttered: "How do I think this seems to be predetermined." ”

"Hmph, who made you always complain to me that the official position was too small." The Empress muttered.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, Lao Xiangguo, Lu Shangshu."

Liu Maolin and Lu Yiping both got up and clenched their fists: "The minister is here." ”

"I'll leave it to you about the reward for the soldiers who went on the expedition, and in three days, no, in two days, I want to see a draft, understand?" Empress Dao.

The two of them clasped their fists and nodded: "Obey." ”

"Alright, you go down first."

Fan Lin also got up to leave, but the empress stopped him.

Fan Lin looked back at the empress at that time: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

The empress beckoned Fan Lin to come over, and said: "Fan Shangshu, I was busy before, I didn't have time to say to you, this time Zhao Sui Rebellion, Fan Lao also contributed a lot, with you sitting in Qingzhou, gave me a lot of assistance, originally this time it was a reward for meritorious deeds, let's talk about it, do you have any ideas?" ”

Fan Lin hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, these are all matters within the courtier's duty, but in fact, I don't dare to harbor other intentions." ”

The empress laughed: "Don't be nervous, I'm not tempting, but I really want to be like this, Shang Shuling's position has been vacant for so many days, why don't you try it?" ”

Fan Lin's hands waved into the wind: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the old minister, there are old Xiangguo and Lu Shangshu, how dare the minister ask for more, any one of these two ministers will be more talented than the minister, and the credit is great." ”

The empress smiled: "Old Xiangguo, don't worry, since Xiao Laizi is not a master, then only Lao Xiangguo will do it, as for Lu Yiping, what do you think I will do when I transfer him back to the imperial court?" This Shangshu Ling looks left and right, only you can serve it. ”

Fan Lin's face showed embarrassment at that time.

The empress looked back at Wang Xiaolai: "Little Laizi, do you say that what I said makes sense." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed when he heard this, and said in his heart that I know a fart.

"How is Fan Aiqing?" The empress asked with a smile.

Fan Lin sighed: "Obey the holy oracle. ”

The empress smiled: "That's right, go down." ”

"Yes..."

As he spoke, Fan Lin retreated.

After the others left, the empress looked at Wang Xiaolai and said, "Come and be by my side." ”

Wang Xiaolai was a little embarrassed: "Then Your Majesty, it's still daytime, it's not appropriate." ”

The empress snorted and said, "Someone is coming." ”

Outside the door, daffodils outcrop.

"Close the door."

Narcissus really closed the door of the imperial study.

The empress patted her side and said, "You can come over now." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed.

Seeing Wang Xiaolai's appearance, the empress smiled: "I can still eat you, you come here, I will discuss the affairs of the north with you." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Your Majesty, you didn't say it earlier." ”

So saying, he came to him.

The empress gave up her position and sat with Wang Xiaolai, that is, if this situation was seen by others, maybe how to say that the two were messing around, how could there be a king and a courtier sitting together, and it was still a dragon chair.

Reaching out and picking up an orange, the empress peeled it in her hand, and said, "Okay, tell me what you think of the north?" Is it war, or is it peace? ”

Wang Xiaolai thought for a while and asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think you should do, Your Majesty?" ”

The empress had a gloomy face: "Huyan Zhuo Zhuo took advantage of the turmoil in Sui Yang and wanted to fish in troubled waters, it stands to reason that with my temper, I will definitely not spare him, so it is naturally a battle." ”

Wang Xiaolai understood when he heard this, and took over the conversation and said: "But Sui Yang has just pacified the Zhao Sui Rebellion, and the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted. ”

The empress nodded: "Yes, but if it is peaceful, how can I open this mouth?" In the past, Sui Yang was never afraid of war with the grassland. ”

"The past is the usual, the present is the present, as the saying goes, for the king, you must know the advance and retreat, and know the gains and losses. As the saying goes, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, and sometimes, back down is to welcome the victory later. Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress snorted: "The more you think about it for a while, the more angry you become, and the more you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more you lose." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"
