Chapter 143: The Storm is Coming

"Please Rong Xiaosheng say bluntly, although Lin Xiaoyan is my unmarried wife, she can't have the same official position as us, after this incident, I am worried that there are still bad people who will beat her idea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When Lu Ming said this, a look of worry appeared on his face.

The fourth prince nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed a problem, but please don't worry, since you are a fourth-grade Wenjue and a major general of the Zhenzhou Army, you can ask for a decree for your wife, so no one dares to beat her." ”

"Please make a decree?"

Lu Ming's face was stunned, and then he said happily: "The words of the eldest brother reminded me that with my current literary name, it should not be difficult to ask my wife to give a decree." ”

Lin Xiaoyan's face turned red, and her face showed excitement, and the edict was to seal the mother or wife of a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the grade was related to the official position of the husband.

For women, this is a great honor.

Then Lu Ming said: "Let's not talk about my family affairs now, may I ask my eldest brother, how has you traveled to Liang to recruit talents?"

"I did recruit some rare talents, but now their identities are special and must not be exposed, and only when they are really needed, will they be informed by the Hongyan Chuan Book. ”

"How much military power do the eldest brother and the third prince have?"

"The Third Emperor Brother has nearly 1.5 million troops in his hands, not including Yan Kun and his private soldiers. ”

Lu Ming suddenly gasped, there are more than 1.5 million soldiers in half of the country, if you add private soldiers, it will definitely exceed more than 2 million, this number is absolutely very terrifying, you must know that the distribution of troops in each state of Liang State is no more than 350,000 at most.

The fourth prince said, "As for the military power in my hands...... Together with the Zhenzhou army, there are only 600,000. ”

"Six hundred thousand?", Lu Ming's eyes widened.

"However, my father still has 400,000 troops in his possession, adding up to nearly a million or so, and my father has made it clear that these troops will be divided into my power in the future. ”

"The difference in strength is half, the gap is too big!"

Lu Ming's face was solemn, this is not a thousand people against two thousand, nor one hundred thousand people against two hundred thousand people, but one million people against two million people, the gap of one million is a gap that is difficult to cross!

"Our troops are mainly in the east and south of the Liang State, while the forces of the Three Emperor Brothers are in the west and north, and Yanzhou in the east of the north has Yang scholars in charge, so you can always observe the movements in the north, and you can attack and retreat. ”

Lu Ming nodded slightly, and said: "If the dragon and tiger fight, there will be death, no matter who wins the result, in the end, the Liang Kingdom will definitely be a mess that is difficult to clean up, I am afraid that there will be other countries taking advantage of the situation and reaping the benefits!"

Yang Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The government is divided into two factions, each with its own great cause, this civil war will be bloody, in fact, we don't want to do this, so we can only try our best to avoid contradictions and focus on the overall situation." ”

"I just want to ask, the third prince or the fourth prince, who is more popular with the people?"

"Naturally, it is the Four Princes. Yang Xiuyuan replied without hesitation.

"The four princes are more likely to achieve great things. ”

"Why?", Yang Xiuyuan asked.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Lu Ming's expression was serious.

"Despite this, there is a huge disparity in troops. ”

"As long as we obey the people, even enemies will become our friends. ”

The fourth prince nodded silently, thinking that what he said made sense.

Everyone continued to talk, and time passed quickly before you knew it,

It wasn't until the afternoon that everyone ended the exchange.

After that, Yang Xiuyuan, the four princes and Xue Daoke said goodbye to Lu Ming and left.

After Lu Ming sent the three away, he used the official seal to send a letter to Zhou Dongyue asking for Lin Xiaoyan's edict, asking him to convey it to Liang Jun on his behalf.

Because the official seal of Lu Ming's four-rank Wenjue does not have the qualifications to send a message directly to Liang Jun, only the official seal of the third grade or above can be used.

Changguo, Yunzhou Xunjia.

"Impossible! This is impossible! How could Lu Ming have a gold medal for avoiding death! This kind of treasure doesn't even have our Xun family, why should he have it!"

Xun Tianzhi slapped the desk and yelled, his face full of anger, more unwilling.

Peng Da's face was gloomy, and he said: "Brother Xun, it seems that the situation is not as simple as we imagined, Lu Ming, this kid can get the gold medal for avoiding death, and nine times out of ten, it was given by Liang Jun in private." ”

"Hmph, even if it is given by Liang Jun, the death-free gold medal can only be used once, and we still have a chance to defeat him!"

"Then next month's Mid-Autumn Festival will ......"

"I have to go!"

Xun Tianzhi said firmly: "I can continue to practice, and I will definitely be able to surpass Lu Ming, not to mention that last time it was because my cultivation was restricted by the Holy Temple, so I lost to him, that is my shame, I must take revenge!"

"Who's going to Wendou?"

A voice sounded, and I saw a middle-aged man walking in, wearing a university robe, with a calm face.

"Uncle. Xun Tianzhi bowed slightly.

"I've seen Scholar Xun. ”

"It's all your own people, you don't have to be polite. ”

Xun Changhuai nodded slightly and said, "Virtuous nephew, I heard that you are going to Liang Country to hold a Wendou Conference?"

"Yes, it is a great shame for my nephew to lose to the people of Changguo, and I must avenge this revenge. ”

"Tianzhi, listen to my uncle's advice, don't go to Liang Guo. Xun Changhuai said.

"Why?"

"Because there is no need for this, you are a child of our Xun family, you should study hard and prepare for the state exam, how can you waste time elsewhere?"

"Uncle, we Changguo people have always been above the Liang people, only we bully them, when will it be their turn to bully us!"

"Tianzhi, you are a child of the Half-Saint Family, how can you have such a stupid idea!"

Xun Changhuai scolded sharply: "Zi said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good." ”

"You should be humble and seek advice and correct your mistakes in order to make progress!"

"Ridiculous! My Xun family is a half-saint family, if I lose to the Liang people, where is the prestige of my Changguo country? Where is the majesty of my half-saint family? If I don't find a place, won't I be laughed at!"

"You ......"

Xun Changhuai's face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Zi said: A gentleman has nothing to eat, no place to live, and he is sensitive to things and cautious in his words, he has the right way and righteousness, and he can be said to be studious." ”

"You should learn from the 'Tao' people and correct yourself, instead of being competitive, we scholars should cultivate self-cultivation and take it as our responsibility to support the common people in the world, how can we be dragged down by worldly fame and fortune?"

Xun Tianzhi was speechless, and he had no reason to refute at all, so he had to say: "What my uncle taught me is that my nephew must reflect on it!"

"It's good that you understand. ”

Xun Changhuai nodded and said to Peng Da: "Peng Caizi, you also have the intention of going to Liang Kingdom, right?"

"Yes......," Penda replied.

"You don't have to go, you should 'reflect on your body' and think carefully about how to treat everything, so that you can not be confused by the surface of all things,"

"Thank you for the advice of the scholars, and the students should reflect on themselves. ”

"Then I'm relieved. ”

Xun Changhuai looked satisfied and said, "I won't bother you to continue chatting, remember, you must think twice." ”

"Yes!", the two immediately sent Xun Changhuai away.

After Xun Changhuai left, Xun Tianzhi's face became gloomy, "Hmph, even if what my uncle said is reasonable, it can't stop me from going to Liang Guowen to fight Suzhou, I must make Lu Ming pay the price of humiliating me that day!"

"But Lu Ming is not easy to deal with, what if we lose?" Peng Da asked.

"Kill him directly!"

"What!"

Peng Da was shocked, "You are crazy, how can you have such thoughts, this is a big sin!"

"Big crime, ridiculous, ignorant! For the sake of Changguo, for the face of the half-saint family, Lu Ming must die, only if he dies, Liang Guo will not be able to become strong, and he will not be able to surpass our Changguo, if I kill him, it will be a great achievement, and I can make my name in the history of Changguo!"

Xun Tianzhi couldn't help laughing when he said this, "Haha, when the time comes, I will be the hero of Changguo!"

"Lu Ming can die, but you must also use the right method, you will undoubtedly bring trouble to the family by doing so, and I will not go to this cultural fight!" Peng Da said.

"Brother Peng, you don't have to worry, I will bear all the consequences, besides, I just asked you to go to Wendou, I didn't say that I wanted you to kill. ”

"Okay, okay...... Since I promised in advance, I had no choice but to go. Peng Da finally had to nod.

Two days later, Suzhou.

"The holy decree has arrived, Lin Xiaoyan has received the decree!"

A familiar voice came from outside the door, Lu Ming took Lin Xiaoyan out to greet him, and his face was suddenly shocked: "Scholar Zhou, why are you here?"

The person who came was Zhou Dongyue.

Zhou Dongyue held the holy decree in his hand and said, "Lin Xiaoyan takes the decree!"

Lin Xiaoyan immediately knelt on the ground, and Lu Ming clenched his fists.

Zhou Dongyue opened the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, Liang Jun's edict said: Give the people's daughter Lin Xiaoyan four orders, seal the pleasant, and admire this!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live, long live, long live!"

Lin Xiaoyan respectfully accepted the holy decree before standing up again, his face a little excited.

"Congratulations to Lin Yiren. Zhou Dongyue said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled back, "Thank you, scholar." ”

"Eh, that's wrong, you should call me a state pastor. ”

"Governor?"

Lu Ming's face changed, and he asked, "Could it be that Scholar Zhou has been transferred to the new state pastor of Suzhou?"

"Yes, exactly. ”

"Lord Zhou is here, and it is shining, how about not disliking coming in for a cup of tea?"

"No need, I am a new official, and I still have a lot of official affairs to deal with, and by the way, I will bring you a holy decree, so I am going to the state yamen soon. ”

Lu Ming immediately said: "In this way, then send Lord Zhou to him, if there is any need, just summon him, Xiao Sheng will definitely help with all his might." ”

"Okay!

Zhou Dongyue hugged his fists after speaking, and left with a smile. (To be continued.) )
