Section 193 Hunting (7)
On the paddock, hundreds of officials gathered.
The hunt has begun, and the saint has traveled. There's no need to put on a show on the observation deck.
Now is a good opportunity to move around each other, the location of the four kings has long been lined up with people who have come to hand over the stickers, fortunately the kings have already tried to prevaricate so that it will not be overcrowded.
Shen Mu got off the observation deck and wandered around. Catching a glimpse of Yuan Tingzhen talking to an official, he quietly leaned closer, and Yun Qi whispered.
The Tao Qi flows, and the hearing is different from ordinary people.
But when he heard that Yuan Tingzhen just instructed the cabinet to walk and deal with the paperwork, there was no secret, and he was quite disappointed.
Shen Mu's loss was not because he didn't hear Yuan Ge's old secrets, how could he talk about confidential matters in public. Shen Mu was disappointed because he finally confirmed that the person in the carriage back then was not Yuan Tingzhen. The voices of the two are a world apart!
Shen Mu clearly remembered that the voice of the people who exterminated Qixingzhai at the foot of Liushan that day was strong, domineering, and full of irresistible magnetism, while Yuan Tingzhen's voice was low, and the accent was also the true color of the official word.
Since that person is not Yuan Tingzhen, who could it be?
Who has the ability to do that?
"Shen joined the army, didn't you go hunting?"
Shen Mu's thoughts were chaotic, and he suddenly heard someone call like this, and he didn't react for a while. When I looked back, I saw Princess Wanqing holding a five or six-year-old child and smiling at herself.
Shen Muden reacted at the time, isn't his current title to join the army.
Shen Mu hurriedly bowed down: "The last general will see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Wanqing smiled: "Shen joined the army, Uncle Murong has already said to me, the Nansang army was defeated by you, and the general is so powerful." I...... I wondered if the general, if he had time, could he tell my brother the story of the army......
Shen Mu frowned: "Your Royal Highness Princess, as a general, it is natural for me to serve the imperial court, not to mention that marching and fighting are all life and death, how can there be any story to tell!"
The child said: "Hey, Sister Wanqing is subtle, I'll just say it, I want to worship you as a teacher!"
Shen Mu was stunned, this yellow-haired boy looked like an adult when he spoke, and there was a trace of domineering Hongfei in his eyes.
"Little baby, you ...... You want to worship me as a teacher?"
The child said: "Who is the little baby, I am Zhang Xian, the seventeenth prince of Yunzhao today!"
Shen Mu was all over his body for a while, and said in his heart: I said that this paddock is full of dignitaries, but I didn't expect that a little baby turned out to be the seventeenth son of the emperor, and I actually called him a little baby.
Shen Mu hurriedly bowed and said: "The last general doesn't know that the prince is coming, how much offended, please forgive the prince!"
Zhang Xian, the king of Yu, said: "That's it, this king won't blame you." As long as you do this, this king will be rewarded!"
Wanqing said: "Shen is not surprised to join the army, my younger brother has always admired the generals on the battlefield. Uncle Fang Cai said about Ninghai, and he was fascinated and wanted to come to worship the general as a teacher. I can't be stubborn, so I have to bother the general!"
Shen Mu said: "How dare you, the last general has a low status, how dare he be the prince's teacher, this ...... If others know about this, they must be condemned to the sin of arrogance!"
King Yu's kid let out an "oh", and behind his negative hand, he paced two steps: "I know, you are afraid that your father will be guilty." Then I will ask my father to decree that you will be my archery master!"
Shen Mu couldn't help but be helpless, what's the matter with this kid, he wants to cause trouble for himself. But seeing that this son is smart and clever, Yu Zeng Roushui's younger brother Zeng has more than that kid, and he likes it very much.
It's a pity that Shen Mu doesn't want to participate in royal affairs at present, let alone become the "master" of the royal children, or the name of a stallion mare......
Shen Mu said: "Thank you for the prince's love, Yunzhao has countless generals who are stronger than the last general, and with the last general's slight skills, I am really worried about teaching the prince's future......"
Zhang Xian pouted: "Hey, you're quite strange, if the generals of the fifth battalion heard that they could become the master of this prince, they would have been very happy...... When my father returns, I will ask my father to draw up a decree...... Look, you can still resist the ......."
Princess Wanqing hid her face and "giggled" and smiled: "Seventeenth brother, don't make trouble...... Let's sincerely invite Shen to join the army, you can't learn real skills like this......"
Shen Mu knew that the two people in front of him, one was a princess and the other was a prince, and they were both people he couldn't afford to offend, so he said: "The last general belongs to the Murong Mansion of Xishan Dao, and it really can't be deployed to Beijing. King Yu wants to learn something, but the general can teach you a few words of experience!"
Zhang Xian was interested, applauded and jumped: "Say it quickly, say it quickly!"
Shen Mu said: "All those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory." Do not take the initiative, this is wisdom, defense is the attack, softness overcomes rigidity, judge the situation, guard against arrogance and rashness, wait for the opportunity to move, and win later. ”
This is the original text of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Shen Mu has long been familiar with it, he saw that although this little prince is very smart, but he has the royal arrogant and arrogant nature, so he told him the most taboo "arrogant" words of this soldier, hoping that he could understand it.
If it weren't for Miao Bokang's self-esteem that his own army was overwhelming, and he didn't take Ninghai City in his eyes, how could he let Shen Mu take advantage of it.
And these princes, although Shen Mu has not been in contact with a few, but from King Kang to this King Xiaoyu, there is a sense of arrogance in their bodies, as if this world and all the people are none other than them. But they don't know that water can carry boats and overturn boats, and what the people want is food, clothing and safety, and they don't care who owns the world.
After Shen Mu finished reciting, he said: "This is for the world, beware of all the people in the world, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light." If the little prince can understand a thing or two from these words, it will be enough to whitewash the peace of the fiefdom in the future!"
Zhang Xian was stunned for a long time, thinking seriously about Shen Mu's words. He was only five or six years old, so how could he understand the "Art of War" and the Confucian way of "benevolent government".
Shen Mu also deliberately said that it was unfathomable, intending to let Zhang Xian retreat again.
Wanqing read slowly: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." Shen joins the army, your words are like thunder and deafening, I hope you must not say it to others again......"
Shen Mu knew the meaning of the evening sunshine, this was a royal garden, and he had forgotten the occasion for a while, how could he emphasize the foundation of the people in front of the royal authority. In case of...... was listened to by people with bad intentions, and Shen Mu was afraid that he would have no words to argue with his suffering.
Shen Mu hurriedly thanked him, but fortunately Zhang Xian didn't know what he meant, but he was confused when he listened, and he admired Shen Mu's words even more, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, I will worship this master.
At this moment, Murong Huan came over.
"Shen Mu......" Murong Huan called, and when he saw Princess Wanqing and His Royal Highness King Yu on the side, he paused: "Princess, King Yu, this king is looking for Shen to join the army to discuss, don't hinder it......"
Wanqing took King Yu by the hand: "Uncle, please, let's just chat a few words...... "After finishing speaking, he owed Wanfu and led the extremely reluctant King Yu to go.
Murong Huan saw the two of them go away, and said to Shen Mu: "Shen Mu, this king will take you to meet Grandpa Zhuang, I know that the matter of the tea bureau is the king's order, just this is the opportunity, let's go!"
Shen Mu followed Murong Huan to the place where the father-in-law of the celebrant eunuch was.
"Lord Wang, can Pei Gongzi be found?"
"This unscrupulous son went into the paddock with King Kang...... Alas. The old man and his son have no way to make people laugh!"
"The prince is serious......"
The two of them arrived at Grandpa Zhuang's place in a blink of an eye, and Murong Huan introduced Shen Mu to Zhuang Sun Ming.
Grandpa Zhuang looked at Shen Mu, and said in a strange manner: "You are Shen Mu?"
Shen Mu bowed and said: "The last general is ...... Shen Mu"
Zhuang Gonggong said "yes": "I heard that, Gonggong Qiu will tell you about you when he returns to the palace...... Our family thinks that he is not doing things well, and we blame you for this later life...... Seeing it today, it confirms our thoughts. Well, it is done with you. Let's go back and inform the overseer......"
Shen Mu was overjoyed in his heart: "Thank you father-in-law for your love!" In his heart, it was actually not very rare to get married to a eunuch, but he didn't expect this father-in-law Zhuang to be so easy to talk to, and before he could ask a question or two, he responded in one bite.
This matter was too smooth, and it made Shen Mu's opinion of eunuchs fundamentally change.
Zhuang Gong said fairly: "Lord Murong, our family heard that you have suffered in Ninghai City. When the saint heard this, he was so sad that he almost had to lead the troops himself. I don't want the good news to come, and I rejoice. At the celebration banquet tonight, I want to praise the prince greatly!"
Murong Huan said: "As the king of Zhennan, this king should be exhausted, just let the saint worry, it is really not what the courtiers should do!"
Zhuang Gong said fairly: "The prince has hundreds of thousands of Nansang troops in one town, which is a merit for the ages, and our family and others are envious." The saint was even more overjoyed, what a sin!" he paused, and then said: "Lord Wang, our family still has to arrange a night banquet, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. I beg your pardon for being sloppy!"
Murong Huan said: "It is not easy for the father-in-law to work hard and share the worries of the saint, please take care of yourself!"
Wait for Grandpa Zhuang to go away. Murong Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Father-in-law Zhuang is much more powerful than Qiu Mingjiang!"
When Shen Mu heard this, he doubted: "What do you mean by what the prince said?"
Murong Huan said: "Be quiet, win people's hearts!"
Shen Mu was stunned, no wonder Zhuang Sunming's profits should be known about the tea bureau. It's not to give him Shen Mu face. And seeing that this matter is what Murong Huan wants, it is Murong Huan's affection.
After all, Xingzhai is in Xishan Road, and it is natural that the affairs of white tea will be operated by Xishan Road, and the Tea Bureau only needs to take some profits and pay taxes. This is not only harmful, but also sells Murong Huan's favor, what else do you need to nag about!
Zhuang Sunming's cleverness is comparable to Qiu Mingjiang, otherwise the position of deputy governor is Qiu Gonggong's!
Shen Mu said: "I've caused trouble to the prince......
Murong Huan said: "Where is it, if Mr. Shen can make white tea famous, this king can't ask for it." And then the people of my Xishan Road have another harvest, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
At noon that day, because the army had not returned from entering the mountain, the hundreds of officials, generals, and retinues on the school field casually ate some dim sum from the inner palace.
At three o'clock in the Shen hour, a gong and drum sounded, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the mountains and forests, and the army finally returned from hunting.
