Since helping the young emperor to assist the government, although Yu Feng has won the trust of the empress dowager and the empress dowager, he is not a military and political dictatorship, and advises to let King Kang, King Rong and King Liao and other clan relatives participate in politics, and reuse a group of people of insight, such as Gu Yuwen, Yao Yun and others to form a cabinet to discuss opportunities to government affairs, but his burden is still heavy, idle time is rare, this half day is rare to have time, coincided with the close friend Zhen Nangu came to visit, the two of them in the shade of the flowers to drink tea game.

Hearing that Du Song came to see him, Yu Feng had no choice but to stop the chess and let people be invited into the flower hall.

Nan Gu asked, "But the eldest son of Linzi Hou?" What did he come to do? ”

Not long ago, the accident on the bank of the Streamer River, many Langjun and noblewomen present witnessed it, and many people learned that the "notorious" Du Song sacrificed himself to save Princess Changle, and held the "conspiracy" opinion, and secretly ridiculed Du Song for not being able to do anything, it was simply a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

Zhen Nangu has also entered the Hanlin Academy now, and he is not like those idle people who pay special attention to gossip, but he has not heard of this, so he has doubts.

Yu Feng explained briefly, and Nan Gu smiled: "I'm afraid that Thorn came, Linzi Hou is willing to step down, and I secretly regret that Du Gong has no successor, and I don't want Du Hou's eldest son to still have ambition, don't say what he wants, at least it's not like his father who is not interested in pleasure and doesn't want to forge ahead, they all say that Du Dalang is not stubborn, and this rumor is only for a reason." ”

Linzi Hou Du Jiang was originally a local division, in charge of the military generals, but not at all like his father Du Zhongda brave and heroic, and addicted to wine, at that time since the founding of the country, the generals in charge of the army were originally from the dragon meritorious service to the battlefield of meritorious service, but when the older generation passed away, although there is no lack of inheritance of the brave, there are also some rely on the merits of the father and ancestors, such as Linzi Hou, is one of them.

Since launching a full-scale war with Beiyuan, Yu Feng has been unswervingly defending against public opinion, vowing to recapture the Central Plains territories that have been successively annexed by Beiyuan since the "Ten Kingdoms", completely destroying Beiyuan, making it fall apart and forbidding the wilderness, so as to avoid the suffering of the people on the border of Dalong, and at the same time, of course, it is also a good opportunity to reform the military system and strengthen the monarchy.

Because of the war waged, it became a matter of course to mobilize defense and troops.

Of course, there must also be a difference in the policy towards military generals, and those who serve the country loyally should not be treated in the same way as those who only value wealth.

It is also necessary to take into account the founding exploits of the fathers and ancestors of the generals, so as not to make people disheartened and complain about the coldness of the court, which makes people's hearts float.

Yu Feng gave the generals the opportunity to make new achievements and consolidate their glory, but there were some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and were unwilling to fight on the battlefield again.

Du Jiang was reluctant to be ordered to go to the front line at that time, but he did not have the courage to join the party to make trouble, although he was stupid and inactive, fortunately, his father Zhongda also left him a few strategists, these people saw through the cowardice of the head of the family, and it was really a mud that could not be pasted on the wall, and they also understood that the actions of the auxiliary political king were intended to shake the old trend of local military generals and implement military reform.

So the strategists simply admonished, let Du Jiang ask Zhishi on the grounds of "holding illness", and hand over the military power in his hands to the imperial court, which can be regarded as obeying the military reform.

Sure enough, as soon as Du Jiang's resignation was published, he was sealed in Linzi and ordered to return to Beijing to accept Lu. Of course, his title is different from the hereditary succession of Wei Guogong and others, and it only lasts for five generations, which also makes Du Jiang ecstatic - he doesn't have to take the risk of having no sword and no eyes, and he can also be transferred back to Kyoto to enjoy glory and wealth, why not?

Although the reform of the military system is imperative, the imperial court is not mean and unkind, Du Jiang is only because of the merits of his father, and now he is loyal to the North Plains, and he does not have to worry about "the bird is hidden in the bow".

However, in his selfish heart, Yu Feng is really sorry for Du Zhongda, there is no successor, the Du family will inevitably decline, if the descendants are not good, there are a few arrogant and extravagant people, and the future is safe and smooth.

That day, he heard that Du Song was seriously injured in order to save Xiaoxiao, and when he rushed to visit, he had already understood Linzi Hou's indifference to his eldest son, and after inquiring again, he knew that Mrs. Hou was Du Song's stepmother, how could he not doubt that Du Song was not suspicious after his notoriety, and specially told Jiang Han to pay attention, it was bound to save Du Song's life, regardless of whether this young man had other intentions, in the end he also saved Xiaoxiao once, if he asked for help, the auxiliary king was also willing to help as appropriate.

This discretion, of course, does not include letting the beloved daughter make a personal promise.

But later, Jiang Han reinstated, but he was unwilling to disobey Du Song's trust, and resolutely refused to tell the injured that he was humiliated at home, and only asserted to Yu Feng: "Du Dalangjun is not as stubborn as rumored, and he must have great ambitions in his heart." ”

Therefore, when Yu Feng heard Du Song's request to see him, he was curious, and he didn't know how this young man would ask for it.

But despite this, when Yu Feng met Du Song in person and heard his request to fight for an opportunity to join the army and be willing to go to the front line to conquer the Northern Plains, he was really unexpected.

He couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him carefully.

Under the wrapping of brocade clothes and jade belts, the waist is really thin, Xu is a serious injury and is malnourished, the complexion is pale and difficult to hide the sick, it is in line with the rumors and barbarians, like a person who is extremely addicted to wine, only he is now standing upright, not showing a groveling attitude, eyebrows and eyes are self-congealing, calm and resolute, how can there be a trace of stubbornness and frivolity?

What Jiang Han said is true, this son has great ambitions, but I am afraid that he will inevitably be desperate and paranoid, and underestimate the sinister nature of the territory.

"Are you proficient in mounted archery, or tactical military art?" Yu Feng asked.

"I'm really ashamed, if the boy is good at riding, he won't fall off the horse and get injured this time...... The boy's grandfather can fight well, but unfortunately he dies early, and the boy is not blessed to be taught by his grandfather. Although this is the case, Du Song did not retreat: "The prince is good, the boy really admires his grandfather's original demeanor, his father can not be loyal to the country due to illness, only the grace of the monarch and no retribution, the boy always thinks about guilt, although he has no strength, only because of the surname of Du, but he does not want to have the grace of the monarch to do nothing, so he only has a life full of blood, and he is willing to be a soldier, not to fall into the power of his grandfather." ”

Du Song is another long-term sword: "The boy respects the heroic martial arts of Xi Zhi, the pioneer of Pingbei, and has repeatedly made military exploits for Dalong, but unfortunately every time he sends a letter and has no reply, the only wish is to hope that the auxiliary king will be allowed to become the pawn of the executive under his command, even if he only kills the north plain, although he has no regrets." ”

Now that the war is going on again, although the imperial court recruits soldiers extensively, it is extremely simple for civilians to join the army, but Du Song is limited by his identity, and he can get his wish if he voluntarily joins the army.

Linzi Hou was originally a military general, although now it is handed over to the military power, but because of the military reform, it is necessary to completely cut off the connection between Du Jiang and the old department, although Linzi Hou is different from the "hostage" and the like, if you want to leave Beijing, you must also get the permission of the imperial court, Du Song is no longer loved by his father, and he is also the eldest son of the family, even if Linzi Hou does not want him to inherit the title, he must also get the permission of the imperial court, which is why Du Song is "notorious" The root of it.

If you don't say goodbye, once you are discovered by the imperial history, it is likely that Du Hou will be investigated, so that the family will suffer, so although he has already made a decision, he wants to persuade Xi Zhi, who is currently valued by the imperial court, to allow him to join the army through the "legal channel", but it is like a stone sinking into the sea - this is indeed difficult, first, Du Song's reputation is really not good, and the son of the prince is too sensitive to join the army, and the general has to be cautious, Xi Zhi has no friendship with Du Song, and it is normal to ignore it.

Du Song never thought about Thorn Tubao, let alone enlisted the assistance of the Auxiliary Minister, who was really unattainable in his mind.

By chance, he was in distress when he met Princess Changle on the road, although he sacrificed his life to save him at that time and had no other intentions, but the attention of the auxiliary king undoubtedly made him see a glimmer of opportunity.

A dignified man, hateful to meet an unkind father, and a ruthless stepmother, who is full of stigma in vain.

But Du Song never wanted to have a long time with a woman, and wasted his scheming to fight for a false name.

Of course, he is not willing to be innocently slandered, especially he can't bear to see his own sister of a mother's compatriot being bullied.

Must be self-reliant and fight for a bright future, which is the only chance for him and his sister.

Take the road to the imperial examination? With his notoriety, his father was not even willing to ask for a teacher to teach him, and the world only said that he was too stubborn and no one was willing to teach, and this road would not work.

Of course, with the help of the auxiliary king, all difficulties can be overcome with a raise of hand.

And what he is even more reluctant to do is that, because of the opportunity, he is labeled as a "hero saves beauty" and becomes a climber in the eyes of the world, which will hurt the reputation of the princess and make the auxiliary king criticized.

He cannot, for his own sake, let the princess be damaged, and he must not bear it.

The battlefield is treacherous, and the sword and gun have no eyes, but if he can make a difference, with the credit laid by the bloody fight, it is enough to clear the stigma and block the mouths of the people, so as to live up to the name of the descendants of the generals, he does not disdain the title of marquis at all, he wants to go to the most arduous and dangerous frontline, become the pawn of the vanguard of Dalong, and establish the merit of recovering the territory and expanding the territory, for himself and to serve the monarchy. Du Zhongda's grandson should be so proud!

Therefore, Du Song insisted that his questioning gaze of the auxiliary king did not dodge, calmly and firmly.

"Okay." Yu Feng finally said: "I promise you, but I only allow you to join the army and join the Ministry of Zhizhi, and in the future, you have to rely on yourself." ”

"The kid swears not to dishonor the trust of the prince." Du Song stood up, and his dark pupils were even more deeply reflected by his pale complexion, but he was bright: "The kid still has a request, if the father insists on depriving the kid of the position of the son, it is really a young and stubborn kid, I hope the prince will approve it." ”

Yu Feng smiled: "It's okay." ”
