Dong Hui took Shi Baoning into the palace and handed the sign directly to the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, Ling Ruiyin was also in the imperial study, and the two hurriedly asked for peace: "The courtiers (courtiers) have seen the Empress Dowager, and have seen Your Majesty, please say hello to the nobles!" ”

"No courtesy, flat!"

Mo Junyu waved his hand to let them get up, and asked gently, "I don't know what is the important matter for Mrs. Shi to enter the palace?" ”

It was the first time for Dong Hui to hand the sign into the palace alone, and the initial impulse retreated in the cold wind and on the way, if it weren't for the fact that Bao Ning was watching from the sidelines, she might have really escaped.

Now that he was asked by Mo Junyu, the sweat on Dong Hui's forehead came out.

It was Shi Baoning who took the initiative to take over the words for Dong Hui, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and their mother entered the palace this time to discuss with Your Majesty about the military power of the Shi family. ”

Before Mo Junyu had finalized the matter with Ling Ruiyin, the party came to the door.

He glanced at Ling Ruiyin, and the latter's eyes signaled: Let the mourning family speak.

Mo Junyu simply handed this matter into the hands of Ling Ruiyin, and Ling Ruiyin said: "When it comes to this matter, the mourning family wants to discuss it with you.

When the first emperor was alive, he made it clear that the royal family was not allowed to interfere with the ownership of the military power of the Shi family, but the country could not be without a king for a day, and the army could not be without a commander for a day. ”

Dong Hui thought about taking back the military power, and couldn't let the military power fall into the hands of others, so she would have no face to see Shi Junhe after she died.

As for anything else, she really hadn't thought about it at all.

Ling Ruiyin's question made her confused!

How does Dong Hui know who is suitable to succeed the commander?

She can't do it anyway.

Shi Baoning saw that Dong Hui couldn't say a word for a long time, and he was also anxious.

couldn't help but interject again: "Empress Dowager, the Shi family's military power should naturally belong to the Shi family." ”

Ling Ruiyin seemed to have noticed Shi Baoning at this time, and her deep gaze fell on Shi Baoning, but her expression was calm, and she didn't change at all because of Shi Baoning's words.

just asked calmly: "Now that the two generations of the Shi family are still prosperous, the military power must be in the hands of the Shi family, but who is in charge of the specific affairs, we have to launch a list!"

Is there a candidate for Madame? ”

Dong Hui shook her head, "yet, there is no candidate yet." ”

"In that case, it would be better to ......"

Shi Baoning knew how much Ling Ruiyin loved Shi Qingxue, for fear that as soon as the other party's Chrysostom opened, he would give Shi Qingxue the military power.

She couldn't help but interject: "Niangniang, the courtiers think that no matter who the military power is given to in the end, it must always be determined through fair competition, otherwise how can they be convinced?" ”

Ling Ruiyin was interjected, but he didn't feel the slightest displeasure, but just glanced at Shi Baoning again, and there seemed to be a little surprise in his eyes.

But soon it became calm again, and he bowed slightly, "Lord Baoning is not unreasonable.

Come on, go and invite Shi Liuniang. ”

————

Shi Qingxue declined Mo Junyang's company and entered the palace alone.

She was still guessing what Ling Ruiyin was doing when she summoned herself into the palace, but when she saw Dong Hui and Shi Baoning, she understood everything.

It's just that she didn't show any emotion on her face, and obediently greeted everyone, and then fell silent.

Ling Ruiyin looked at Dong Hui's mother and daughter, and then fell on Shi Qingxue, and then asked slowly: "Qingxue, I heard that the military power of the Shi family army is now in your hands." ”

Shi Qingxue nodded, "Serious business." ”

Ling Ruiyin asked again: "In the Battle of Huwenpi, General Shi entrusted the military power to you, right?" ”

Qingxue nodded again.

But before she could speak, Shi Baoning hurriedly said: "But that is just my father's expedient measure, and it does not mean that my father agrees to hand over the military power to her."

Who should be given military power will have to be determined after comparison. ”

Shi Baoning almost pointed at Shi Qingxue's nose and said that the military power should not be in her hands.

The words are straightforward, how hurtful.

But Shi Qingxue has already been stabbed all over by Dong Hui and Shi Baoning these days.

Listening to it at this time, there was not the slightest fluctuation on his face.

She just raised her eyes and glanced at Shi Baoning, and then lowered her head again.

Until Ling Ruiyin asked her opinion, she only said: "Everything is arranged by Niangniang." ”

"In that case, let's take a look first!"

Ling Ruiyin hammered it out.

But the question arises again, what is it compared to?

Shi Baoning took the lead in saying: "It must not be compared to archery on horseback, not to mention the problem of fairness and unfairness, and how exquisite the skill of archery on horseback is, it is only a skill that a soldier needs."

If you can be a good soldier, you may not be a good general! ”

Between the words, Shi Baoning even raised his eyebrows at Shi Qingxue, and the provocation was very obvious.

Shi Qingxue didn't pay attention to her gaze at all, and just waited obediently for Ling Ruiyin's arrangement.

Ling Ruiyin had already prepared the topic, but when she heard Shi Baoning's words, she had to change her mind temporarily.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Since you can't shoot arrows on horseback, then let's test who is more proficient in the art of war books and marching formations."

Although this is on paper, this is also a competency that a qualified general must have, how? ”

These two daughters were raised by the Shi family.

Even if Shi Baoning has been weak since she was a child and has never practiced in the army, her theoretical knowledge has not fallen behind at all, and she is even more interested than her female celebrity.

Shi Baoning felt that he usually stayed at home to read and write for much longer, and he was definitely much more knowledgeable than Shi Qingxue, who always didn't know where to go.

At this time, it is natural to raise your hands in agreement.

"Qingxue, what is your opinion?" Ling Ruiyin looked at Shi Qingxue with concern.

Shi Qingxue nodded, and said with a well-behaved smile: "It's all up to the mother's arrangement, Qingxue has no opinion." ”

Shi Baoning watched it from the side, and couldn't help but hum in a low voice: "Hmph!" will please and sell well. ”

This voice was extremely small, and only Dong Hui and Shi Qingxue, who were standing beside her, heard it.

Dong Hui hurriedly pulled Shi Baoning's sleeve, and at the same time looked at Shi Qingxue embarrassedly, and opened her mouth to explain.

Shi Qingxue replied to Dong Hui with a faint smile, and didn't look at Shi Baoning, turning around and about to follow Ling Ruiyin to the side of the ear room.

Her original intention was to calm things down, but she didn't want her insipid actions to become her looking down on herself in Shi Baoning's eyes.

The jealousy and unwillingness that had been accumulated for days finally reached its peak at this moment.

Shi Baoning couldn't help but grab Shi Qingxue's arm, pulled the person back, and said in a low voice: "Shi Qingxue, don't look down on people." ”

Shi Qingxue subconsciously looked around, and made sure that Ling Ruiyin and the others had already walked into the ear room, and no outsiders were relieved after hearing Shi Baoning's words.

Then the boredom came to her heart, she withdrew her hand, frowned, and said, "Big sister, this is the imperial study, you better behave!" ”

Although she was in a bad mood, she still said what she should have been reminded.

But he didn't want to say this, and when these words came, Bao Ning's ears would change into another meaning.

Shi Baoning not only did not wake up, but mocked more excitedly: "Yes! You have been favored since you were a child, and you can even count the rules of the palace, and others are all fools in your eyes, right? ”

Shi Qingxue: "......"

It's just inexplicable!

How did Shi Qingxue know that she just reminded her casually, and it turned out to be a show-off in the ears of the other party.

This brain-replenishing ability simply makes her bow down.

She was speechless for a long time, and a thousand words were exchanged in her chest, but after seeing Shi Baoning's angry red face, she felt very boring.

She said happily: "You can think whatever you like!" ”

Anyway, Shi Baoning has completely ignored the sisterhood between the two at this time, and she has nothing to say.

Shi Baoning still shouted at Shi Qingxue: "You have never been as good as me in the marching formation, don't want to win me this time!" ”

Shi Qingxue felt funny, lifted her eyelids and glanced at Shi Baoning, and said lazily: "Let me think about it!" Where do you get the confidence?

Could it be that you happened to be a little better than me every time in my father's school exam, and you think you will definitely win this time? ”

Shi Baoning nodded subconsciously, but he couldn't help frowning, he always felt that something was wrong.

I saw Shi Qingxue raise her eyebrows, her chin raised slightly, like an arrogant phoenix, and her voice was cold and crisp, "But why can't I win you?" ”

Shi Baoning was asked.

I heard Shi Qingxue say slowly and firmly: "Big sister, this time, I won't let you!" ”

After that, Shi Qingxue didn't pay attention to Shi Baoning's mood after hearing this, and went directly into the ear room on the side.

The ear chamber of the imperial study was not very large, just enough for two additional desks.

It was Ling Ruiyin who had just asked his subordinates to carry him in, so that the two Shi family ladies could write their answers.

"Since it is a struggle for the military power of the Shi family, the mourning family will come up with three questions for the reference of the two ladies."

Ling Ruiyin sat on the upper seat, holding the tea bowl in one hand, but did not drink, but lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Only then did he say slowly: "Although the situation today seems to be peaceful on the surface, the turbulent waves on the water are immeasurable. Today, you will talk about your views on the topic of vertical and horizontal! ”

The lessons of the fall of the Six Kingdoms of the previous dynasty are more or less understood by those who have studied the art of war since childhood.

As soon as this topic was said, the three people present were all one person.

Shi Qingxue and Shi Baoning looked up at each other in unison, Shi Baoning's face was full of joy, and he even raised his chin at Shi Qingxue, as if showing off.

Then he picked up his pen and began to write his own strategy.

Shi Qingxue glanced at Dong Hui again, the latter was so hot that he was sweating on his forehead in the cold winter weather of Layue, and he was also looking at Qingxue eagerly, wanting to stop talking.

The expressions of the three were strange to varying degrees, but none of them spoke first.

Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes, and once again looked at the white paper and wolf hair on the table, and did not move.

Until Shi Baoning's blank paper was almost full, she hadn't started to write.

Ling Ruiyin had been observing the actions of the two, and was originally still patient and not moving, seeing that Shi Baoning was about to finish writing, but Shi Qingxue was still not moving, and couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Xiao Xue'er? ”

Shi Qingxue seemed to have just come back from her thoughts, raised her head suddenly, and was about to answer, when Shi Baoning put down her pen.

"Niangniang, the courtiers have already written."

Ling Ruiyin had no choice but to order someone to take over Shi Baoning's discussion and read it carefully.

Shi Baoning received Shi Junhe's formal teaching in the end, although he has not been on the battlefield, his theoretical knowledge is not bad at all.

This exposition is based on Su Qin's argument of combining vertical and horizontal, attacking near and far, and even weak against strong, although there are no special highlights, but the beginning and the end are clear, and it is very pertinent.

After Ling Ruiyin read it, he nodded twice, and then looked at Shi Qingxue expectantly, "Qingxue, what about your argument?" ”
