In fact, the court employs people for a certain number of years.

Some people have to use it for a while.

Some people have to use it for a year or two.

The characters who have to use five years are the big ones.

It will take ten years to be the humeral minister.

It will take more than 20 years, and if he does not have a terminal illness that is about to die, or a resolute determination to resign, there will generally be no good end.

Emperor Li Zhi trusted Xue Rengui for twenty years.

In the past twenty years, the emperor has entrusted his life with his life several times, and he has behaved very well.

Now, it's time for Xue Rengui to be seriously ill or resign.

Many people think that Xue Rengui is a rare purple and golden beam in the Tang army, but in fact, it is not the case, a person has been leading the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses for a long time, which is very unfavorable to the imperial court.

Li Zhi worked hard to deprive the British Duke Li Ji of his authority, and patiently survived the British Duke to death, of course, he did not want a new British Duke Li Ji to appear in the Tang Army.

Replacing Xue Rengui is not a good thing for the army, and it will even lead to defeat in foreign wars.

This is not important to the imperial court, the replacement of military generals is a big thing.

The advantage of Yun Chu lies in his irreplaceability!

Today's Tang Dynasty social development has far surpassed that of previous dynasties, when there is no longer anything to learn from in the history books, many of Yun Chu's practices are often refreshing, plus Yun Chu did not have a touch on military power, so the emperor's patience with Yun Chu is obviously much higher than Xue Rengui.

The left and right are just an undefended Chang'an City, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages if you keep it as a person.

The moment Xue Rengui got up from the giant bear to look at him, he immediately understood that his days as a military general were numbered.

Moreover, he even understood who the next generation of military generals the emperor valued.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has become more and more powerless in leading troops to fight in recent years."

This is the first time that Xue Rengui has used the word "old minister" in front of the emperor.

Li Zhi's heart trembled slightly, and he followed Xue Rengui's words and asked, "But the old injury has attacked?" ”

Xue Rengui replied with a pale face: "Exactly." ”

Li Zhi said angrily: "What are the people in the Tai Hospital doing to eat, even the old wounds on Aiqing's body can't be treated, what do I want them to do." ”

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "It is said that medicine does not kill diseases, there are too many old injuries on the old minister's body, like a broken pocket, everyone in the Tai Hospital has done the ultimate in sewing and mending over the years, and now, when there is nothing to make up, I can't complain about them." ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Except for Aiqing in the army, who else can I trust?" ”

Xue Rengui looked at the emperor and said helplessly: "The minister thinks that Fengzhou Sima Tang Xiujing can be of great use." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "I can't preside over the overall situation yet." ”

Xue Rengui said with a smile: "The old minister just proposed, whether to use it or not, it is in His Majesty's thoughts." ”

Li Zhi just shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Ruichun personally brought some wine and food, and Li Zhi and Xue Rengui sat opposite each other on the high platform, drinking and chatting.

The main thing is that the emperor listened to Xue Rengui tell him about his life experience, and the emperor just praised some node things, or picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Xue Rengui.

It seems that the monarch and the minister are extremely compatible.

The sound of explosions in Luoyang City, the movement of flames rising became louder and louder, and it was not until after a violent loud bang that some broken bricks and tiles fell on the Yun Clan's courtyard that Wu Mei ordered to stop the feast.

The feast stopped, but none of the guests were willing to leave the Yun Mansion at this time.

Wu Mei left the house and came to the courtyard where no one wanted to come, stroking a pine and cypress bonsai that had been knotted for a hundred years, and she seemed to enjoy the feeling of pine needles pricking her hands.

Li Si followed closely behind with a horse lance.

"Do you think your brother will kill me?" Wu Mei took her hand away from the pine needles and asked softly.

"No!" Li Si's answer was cut and iron.

Wu Mei nodded and asked, "Do you think the queen mother will kill your prince's brother?" ”

"No!" Li Si continued to answer with great certainty.

Wu Mei smiled and continued to say to Li Si: "Since our mother and son will not fight each other, what is the current scene in Luoyang?" ”

Li Sidao: "It's a game. ”

Wu Mei sighed when she heard this: "Yes, it is indeed a game, but this game is too cruel." ”

Li Sidao: "It's not cruel at all. ”

Wu Mei turned around and looked at Li Sidao: "Why do you say this?" ”

Li Si said with a smile: "Master said to children a long time ago that everyone dying for their ideals is one of the happiest ways in the world to die, maybe they have a lot of unwillingness and regret when they die, but isn't this the most beautiful thing about the whole thing?"

Everyone wants to stand on the top of the mountain and look down on the world, but the higher the mountain, the more cramped the top of the mountain, and there are few people who can't stand up, and if you want to stand up, you need others to make room for you.

Isn't it normal for them to pay some price for these noble positions, and even die for them? ”

Wu Mei smiled when she heard this, and said to Li Si: "Why did the Yun clan retreat bravely? ”

Li Si said with a smile: "Master thinks that the location on the top of the mountain is too small for the Yun Clan, not suitable for moving, not suitable for farming, not suitable for building houses, and not even for building a workshop, so ah, climbing to the top of the mountain is of little significance to the Yun Clan."

Besides, the sky is left on the top of the mountain, except for the narrow foothold, and those who climb to the top of the mountain can easily take the sky as their next target, which is too dangerous. ”

The mother and daughter were talking, and suddenly a fire burst out outside the high wall, more than three feet high, and the flames were bright and flickering, this is not a simple fire oil bomb can create a movement, but the fire vent of the fire oil tank in the army can create such a fierce flame.

Immediately after that, there were bursts of screams outside the high wall, but anyone who was sprayed by this kind of flames with oil had a very slim chance of survival.

The fire oil tank hurt people, and also hurt the fence tree planted by the Yun clan outside the wall, Li Si's face was gloomy, and he yelled at the general standing not far away: "Drive those killers out of a hundred steps away, and kill people to count me as mine." ”

The general of the family agreed, and immediately a hundred and ten people opened the side door and went out, and after a while, the sound of killing was everywhere.

Wu Mei looked at her reckless daughter and said, "The reason why people set fire here is that they want to pull the Yun clan into the battle group, so don't you think about it?" ”

Li Si said angrily: "Even if they think so, whoever hurts the Yun Clan, we will beat whoever they want, and if they kill them all, they won't have that mind." ”

Wu Mei smiled and said, "You have become the master of the Yun clan?" ”

Li Sidao: "The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, after I officially enter the door, A-Niang will not care about the affairs of the family, and I will be in charge of these things in the future." ”

Wu Mei sighed and said: "Yun Chu is so calculating, it is a royal dispute, it is not good for him to get involved, there is no problem for you, the princess of Anding, to get involved, after all, this is also a royal dispute."

After you return to Chang'an, you will get married as soon as possible and give birth to the eldest grandson of the Yun family as soon as possible, so that you can be stable. ”

Li Sicai was about to nod, when he heard a boom, the tall courtyard wall of the Yun clan collapsed, Wu Mei was taken aback, and was firmly protected in the middle by the guards, and saw a cavalry rushing out of the meazzanine of the Yun mansion, and the war horse quickly crossed the collapsed high wall, and lined up to fight into the battlefield outside the courtyard wall.

After the cavalry attacked, immediately a lot of servants carried all kinds of things to the gap, that is, a pillar of incense, and the gap was already blocked by debris.

Wu Mei turned her head to look at Li Si, but she heard Li Si yelling.

"Clear the barrier to prevent fire. Dare to enter the quarantine zone and kill without mercy! ”

Although the scene was chaotic, when she looked closely, Wu Mei found that the advance and retreat of the Yun family's servants were very orderly, fighting fires, blocking the mouths, and even some servants climbed rockeries and other high places, holding longbows to provide cover for those blocked servants.

Yu Xiurong walked over with a smile and said to Wu Mei: "Why don't the queen go to the flower hall and sit for a while, there are naturally children here." ”

After Wu Mei entered the Yun Flower Hall, she found that although the guests were all as earthy as the color, the overall mood was normal, and there were four of them at a table, and there was a Zhuo opera that the Yun family was proud of in front of her-mahjong.

At this point, Wu Mei laughed heartily and said to Yu Xiurong: "Why don't we come too." ”

Yu Xiurong smiled: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

"Don't be whine!"

Yun Chu pinched Jin Yuanru's foot and neck, and threw aside her foot that had been stretched out to remove the socks.

Jin Feiru said in a flattering voice: "The prince is a rude man. ”

Yun Chu said: "Don't go too far. ”

Jin Yuanru said: "Cen Changqian, the squire of the military department, is the queen's real confidant, if the prince wants to live a good life in the future, or wants to make a difference in the army, he must take advantage of this chaos and kill him." ”

Yun Chu once again threw away Jin Yuanru's feet and said, "The Yun clan doesn't want to participate in the war. ”

Jin Yuanru unrelentingly stretched out her feet again, this time reaching Yun Chu's crotch. Next, after being dodged away by Yun Chu, Jin Yuanru said again: "If there is a chance to kill the prince and marquis of Fengzhou, Tang Xiujing, it is a person that His Majesty values, as for Liang Ying, the lieutenant general of the prince's sixth rate, it should be the prince's person, if not, it is the prince's person, and he will also kill it." ”

Yun Chu pinched Jin Yuanru's feet and muttered for a moment: "In this war, why don't you see foreign generals participating?" ”

Jin Yuanru's face was flushed, and she said dreamily: "This is the queen's decision, how willing will the Tang generals be to follow Your Majesty, the prince, she has to reuse foreign generals, this war, the queen is not unprepared, and most of the people who are pushed to the front are Tang people, because even if these Tang people are subservient to the queen, once the prince ascends the throne, they will abandon the queen one after another." ”

Yun Chu pushed away Jin Yuanru, who wanted to throw herself into his arms, and shouted out the window: "Yun Jin! ”

Yun Jin's handsome and blue face suddenly appeared at the window.

Yun Chu said: "Take the people of Tsing Yi Lou to kill the foreign generals in Luoyang, such as Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Turkic, and Indigo. ”

Jin Yuanru, who nested on the brocade like a cat, said to Yun Jin: "They are easy to find......

Yun Jin said angrily: "Shut up." ”

After that, he glanced at his father resentfully, and disappeared into the darkness.

Yun Chu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of herbal tea, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "Let's all die." ”

"I like empty kitchens the most!"

Yun Luan lifted a gauze cover, took out a piece of cooked beef with tendons from underneath, and took a bite and said to Princess Taiping.

Taiping picked up a hoof and took a bite and threw it back into the gauze cover, thinking it was not delicious, and then scooped a spoon of cheese from the ice and stuffed it into his mouth and ate it a few bites: "It's not delicious." ”

Yun Luan immediately opened a large cabinet, and as soon as the cabinet opened, a white cold air was bubbling outward, and almost his entire body was poked into the cabinet before he took out a jade plate from inside.

Put the jade plate on the table and said to Taiping: "Eat it, this is ice cream, peach flavor, don't ask me why it's called this, ask my father to take it." “

Taiping laboriously dug a spoonful and took a bite, and his eyes immediately narrowed happily, it seemed that this thing was very much in line with his appetite.

While eating ice cream, Taiping said to Yun Luan nonchalantly: "It's useless for you to please me, it's impossible for me to marry you, my mother, my father won't allow me to marry you, your Yun family already has a princess." ”

Yun Luan nodded and said: "It has nothing to do with whether you marry me or not, you are born to be the kind of person who makes people want to be good to you, eat more, there is still the taste of apricots in the freezer, I will bring it to you after you finish eating." ”

"You like clouds, don't you?"

"Yes, I worked so hard to be good to you, I just hope you can help that stupid girl, obviously a woman, but I want to be an official."

"Well, it's really stupid, when I see that the queen mother has a promotion document in the future, I'll fill in her name......"

"That's great, by the way, we grew up together, what kind of man do you like?"

Taiping stopped the spoon in his hand, licked the ice cream at the corner of his mouth with his pink tongue, and said slowly: "I want the gentlest and most handsome man in the world." ”

Yun Luan took a bite of ice cream and said, "Understand, my eldest brother is the kind, right?" ”

Taiping looked at Yun Luan with disdain and said, "You think your eldest brother is the best-looking man in the world, right?" ”

Yun Luan rolled his eyes and said, "Is there a beautiful man who is more handsome than my eldest brother?" ”

Taiping seemed to fall into memory, and said slowly: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I sneaked out with the mask of Kunlun Nu and Wei Shi, and after I was separated from Wei Shi, I hugged a person who was wearing a mask that was exactly the same as Wei Nu, he took off his mask and looked at me gently: "Little lady, you recognize the wrong person...... "

Yun Luan ate two bites of beef in a row and quickly asked, "Who?" ”

Taiping was awakened by Yun Luan's words, and immediately said in a fierce tone: "What are you going to do?" Why? What's the matter with you? ”

Yun Luan gritted his teeth and said, "That guy is finished, and everyone in Luoyang wants to kill him!" ”

"You dare!"

Taiping threw away the spoon and pointed at Yun Luan in an excited tone.
