Zhan Shilang believes that not only him, but also in the eyes of many people, Taifu is such an existence.

Taifu can have the prestige of the present time, and firmly occupy the position of the master in the hearts of the people of the world, in addition to the undoubted ability and knowledge, it also has a lot to do with the style of acting for ten years.

Mrs. Chu is a person who can keep his heart very well, since he first entered the officialdom when he was a teenager, he has already been this picture of the sky, and his ambition has not been transferred in the slightest due to his status and age.

He even disdained to make friends with powerful people, let alone form a party to gain power, so when he first became a Beijing official, he was excluded and suppressed by many people.

But Taifu is very iron-headed, although he likes to go crazy, but he also has extraordinary ability and wisdom as support.

There are many deeds of Taifu who were ostracized when he was young, and they are still circulating among the literati today, and there are countless such deeds, such as being slandered by his colleagues, imprisoned, and within ten days, he walked out of the cell in a good time and vacated his place to the person who made the game.

There are many seemingly painless exclusions, sometimes there is a traitor, it is also very unpleasant to look at, one morning after the court, when the two imperial histories passed, deliberately made a whispering posture, and said to the Taifu who was not a Taifu at that time: [What did Lord Chu do last time, I don't know if there will be a result? 】

This move is intended to apply eye medicine, create ambiguous rumors, and pull people into the water.

If the other party denies it in a hurry, it is right in the middle.

The very young Taifu did not deny it, but showed a sudden expression, and said in a low voice: [What did you say about that......]

The man was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't do it for a while, and at the same time he had a very bad premonition-

The young Taifu has already made a look of embarrassment: [Although there are people in the Xiaguan family who are well-versed in medicine, they are really not very good at curing hemorrhoids......]

The official's face changed, and he was about to interrupt, but he heard the other party's sincere suggestion: [Since Lord Jia's illness has affected him a lot, he should no longer hide his illness and avoid medical treatment, it is better to go to the Holy Heavens and issue a notice to seek good medical treatment......]

[Xia Guan really can't help, and I hope Lord Jia will forgive me. After speaking, he sighed and bowed, and left.

Sensing that the eyes of the two imperial historians fell on his buttocks, the official's words of defense came to his lips, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only leave angrily and ashamedly—but this reaction seemed to confirm the words of the Taifu.

Soon, rumors of his hemorrhoids spread above the court.

So the official soon found that there were more and more eyes in the court staring at his buttocks, intentionally or unintentionally, and even many people secretly recommended to him a doctor who was good at treating hemorrhoids, no matter how he explained, it was in vain.

There are many more such things.

Later, as Taifu's official rose higher and higher, his reputation became more and more recognized by the literati, and he became a suitable candidate for checks and balances in the eyes of the first emperor, the situation was slowly reversed, and he was squeezed out by his colleagues in the officialdom at the beginning, and finally became him alone to crowd out the entire officialdom.

In addition, Taifu is indeed upright, not in love with power at all, has always remained neutral, and even has no intention of letting the descendants of the family enter the office, no desire and ambition, only a literati and arrogant bones, those hostile people are gradually unwilling to touch the head again, when facing Taifu, the attitude from the beginning, "Who can get rid of him?" The grinding of his teeth became "Who messed with him again?" "It's a headache.

The Taifu does not allow the children and grandchildren of the family to enter the office, and the rhetoric is also very Taifu - which of you is an official and can be an old man? Since you can't, stay honest as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the old man's reputation.

Although the descendants of the Chu family are not officials, they also have their own attainments in the literary world, and they are innocent, so the Chu family is more respected and praised by the literati.

Thinking of the teacher's many temperamental deeds when he was young, and then looking at the thin old man with white hair in front of him, Zhan Shilang was suddenly full of emotion.

But the teacher was most annoyed that someone was pretentious and sighing in front of him, so Zhan Shilang only tried to say: "The charcoal fire in the teacher's study is especially strong this year...... I don't know, but the body is afraid of cold? ”

People are old and sick, and every winter, he always worries about the teacher's health.

Unexpectedly, he heard the old man say: "There is a little lamb who has honored me with a sum of charcoal silver, and this year's charcoal fire has accidentally purchased a little more......

Although the tone is light, there is a faint sense of pride and pride.

After leaving a son, the old lady raised her eyes to look at Qiao Yang, and Zhan Shilang on the side, and asked, "Why, you don't have it?" ”

Qiao Yang and the others are only the "little lambs" in the mouth of the Taifu, they must be the descendants of the Chu family, and Zhan Shilang said with a smile: "Those few in my family, how can they have this filial piety!" ”

Qiao Yang said: "The two of my family have not yet been slaughtered, don't say that you are filial to me, and you have to raise me." ”

It's not right, Mianmian is only a little lamb for slaughter, after all, he works in the Guozi Prison Hospital, and he has monthly money to get ......

But that little money is always beyond his means, and the child recently set up a medical shed outside the city to treat some homeless women and children who are not allowed to enter the city.

Hearing Qiao Yang say this, Mrs. Chu showed a hint of satisfaction - it seems that the age is ...... Bah, the charcoal silver is for him?

But 200,000 taels is too much, where can he burn charcoal alone?

I just heard Qiao Yang mention that his girl's baby set up a medical shed outside the city to help the homeless-

When Taifu thought of this, he said, "I still have a lot of charcoal and silver, so I might as well take it to your daughter's medical shed." ”

Qiao Yang only thought that it was a matter of a few hundred taels at most, and he gladly thanked him.

Hearing the word medical shed, Zhan Shilang asked a few words curiously.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but admire: "Qiao sacrifices wine and teaches girls a good way...... Ling Lang's talent and name, I have heard a lot below, and the children in your family, over time, will definitely make great achievements. ”

Qiao Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Where is ......?"

Zhan Shilang also praised the students he taught, Jiang Du Chang Assassin History.

When it comes to this Chang Thorn History, the wrinkles between Zhan Shilang's eyebrows have unfolded a lot.

War is the most silver-consuming, but people often stab history, and this time they fought against the Japanese army, but they did "fight to feed the war"-

The Wa State sued for peace this time, it must cost a great price, and the tribute compensation is inevitable, and Chang Assassin Shi personally went to get the peace book, how could it be cheaper for the Wa State?

Then there is Dongluo, this time it has changed hands, and it has to be often stabbed with the help of history, and the amount of tribute in the coming year will inevitably be extraordinarily considerable......

The old things of several of their households have already knocked on the abacus in private, and they roughly estimate that the battle in Jiangdu will inevitably have some surplus after removing the loss.

Let's ask such a general, how can people not like it?

At this time, in the face of the general's teacher Qiao sacrificial wine, Zhan Shilang was very stingy with praise.

It was difficult for Qiao to concentrate on enjoying this praise, Taifu suddenly killed more and more fiercely on the chessboard, he was in a hurry to deal with it, and the charcoal fire was too strong, and he was already a little sweaty.

Until Zhan Shilang talked about other generals who were also outside.

It is inevitable to mention the headache of the Kangding Mountain rebellion, and then when it comes to the Korean Gong Li Xian, the headache doubles again.

"It's been half a year since South Korea went here, right?" Seeing that he was about to lose, Qiao Yang, who accepted his fate, freed up his mind to talk.

"yes." Zhan Shilang sighed: "In this half a year, I lost Dongting first, and then Yuezhou...... Now I only hope that Jingzhou must be defended. It should have been okay a few years ago, but the Jingzhou area is now cold and rainy and snowy, and Bian Chunliang's army does not dare to attack it for the time being. ”

Qiao Yang asked euphemistically, "Sage...... Isn't there anything else to show for it? ”

Although victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is common for military generals to lead troops outside and achieve nothing in half a year, but Dongting and Yuezhou were lost in the hands of Li Xian, and Jingzhou is so important, how can you rest assured that they are still in the hands of Li Xian?

Although Li Xian is the sage's own junior, the sage is naturally relieved to use, but it is a matter of the safety of the country, and the sage should not be so reversed, right?

"The saint has made arrangements." Zhan Shilang said: "I'm waiting for General Xiao Min Xiao to return to Beijing." ”

Xiao Min was ordered to leave Beijing earlier to quell the chaos, but what was peaceful was a few chaos in the Gyeongju area, mostly caused by the disasters brought about by some local heroes and strong people gathering displaced people, but now they have all been pacified, and Xiao Min is already on the way back to the court.

"After a short rest during the New Year's Festival, at the beginning of next year, General Xiao should be ordered to rush to Jingzhou." Zhan Shilang said.

Qiao Yang was a little relieved, this General Xiao had fought Xu Zhengye with Sui Ning, and it was said that he was calm and cautious, and he was a trustworthy figure.

Qiao Yang said: "In this way, I just hope that there will be a turnaround in the coming year...... If the Bian Chunliang Rebellion is not eliminated for a day, the capital will be unstable for a day. ”

Jingzhou, which is only 1,200 miles away from Beijing, is also at night at this moment.

The good news of Chang Suining's defeat of the Japanese army in Huangshuiyang had reached the Jingzhou military camp a few days earlier, and Li Xian was strictly ordered to suppress it on the grounds of "shaking the morale of the army", and the soldiers were not allowed to discuss it in private.

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the huge barracks, and the soldiers who braved the snow to keep vigil looked numb and tense.

Even in the rainy and snowy weather in recent days, they have not stopped drilling, Li Xian wants to take advantage of the bad weather a year ago, Bian Jun could not attack, to step up the training of his soldiers.

In his opinion, the biggest reason why he lost to Bian Chunliang was that the soldiers under his command were loose and incompetent, if his aunt was willing to hand over the 30,000 Xuance troops in Beijing to him, he would have already defeated Bian Chunliang!

But he didn't have the qualifications to make a request at the moment, and his aunt was already disappointed and dissatisfied with him, and it was impossible to hand over the Xuance army stationed in Beijing to him.

Before leaving Beijing, my aunt had promised that as long as he defeated Bian Chunliang and gained prestige in the army, he would be able to hand over the Xuance Army to him in the future, but now, ......

Thinking of the words "prestige in the army", what flashed in front of Li Xian's eyes was a girl's face that had just faded in childishness.

The battle of Huangshuiyang made Chang Kuo's daughter famous again, and the stupid rumors of the reincarnation of the star became more and more turbulent, and everyone knew about it......

In the midst of long-term adversity, Li Xian's eyebrows, which have always been moody, have been revealed with anger that cannot be concealed.

When he returned to Beijing from the south, he thought that what was waiting for him was the opportunity to show his strength, but everything in front of him was different from what he expected......

The merit and fame are all Cui Jing and Chang Kuo's father and daughter, and he can only take this defeated army with him, and he still sticks to it on the occasion of the New Year's Festival.

Thinking of the harsh reprimand from the Jingshi a few days ago, and the situation where the Manchu civil and military must have belittled him in every way......

Li Xian clenched his palm next to the sand table, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

At this time, a soldier entered the account and said: "Commander Qiqi, according to the report of the scout, Bian Chunliang's army is drinking and having fun in Yuezhou City, celebrating in a big way...... The people in Yuezhou City were all panicked. ”

The people in Yuezhou City have experienced several lootings and plundering by the Bian army, the first time the Bian army killed the powerful officials of the city sergeant clan, and the second time he swung the butcher's knife at the common people.

The surviving civilians are now in the same situation as slaves, and while they work according to Bian's orders, they also face the fear that Bian Jun will wield a knife if he disagrees.

At this moment, the soldier hid many details, and only used the words "panicked" to include the situation of the people in Yuezhou.

"Drinking to celebrate ......" Li Xian's attention was only on Bian Jun's arrogance and forgetfulness, his eyes sank a little, and then he turned his head to look at the woman in blue who was kneeling beside him and serving-

"When the climate warms up next year, I want to prepare a generous gift for Bian Chunliang......" he said slowly: "How to prepare this generous gift, Allan, I need you to make a decision with me." ”

Alan seemed to sense what he was referring to, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded.

Li Xian's eyes are bound to win.

By April of the following year at the latest, he will definitely wipe out the Bian army in one fell swoop!

……

On the other side, when Chang Sui Ning left from the Wa Kingdom, he knew that Yuezhou had been decided and Takehiko Ishimoto had been killed, so he led his army on the return journey with peace of mind.

Tamluo and Dongluo, on the way back to Jiangdu for Chang Suining's army, Chang Suining's original plan was to watch Jin Chengyuan's enthronement ceremony in Dongluo, so he set off to rush back to Jiangdu, so that he should be able to return to the Shifu for the New Year.

However, this year is a rare cold winter, and sea ice has formed on the surface of some parts of the Yellow Water Ocean at the beginning of the wax moon.

It took nearly twice as long to arrive in Dongluo as expected.

After discussing with Wu Jue and his generals, Chang Suining finally decided to wait for the New Year and then rush back to Jiangdu.

Both the ice floes on the surface and the ice reefs below can be a challenge for boats, slowing down their journeys and being dangerous.

Now that the war is over, there is no need to take the risk of sailing in order to rush to the end of the year, this is the consensus of the generals in the middle of the army and Chang Suining.

As for Jiangdu, there are several times more army guards than them, and Chu Xing and Vice General Jin have also returned, and with them, Jiangdu can be guaranteed to be safe and sound.

After deciding on this matter, Chang Suining let people inform the army that the soldiers were not disappointed because they could not return to Jiangdu for the New Year.

Most of them were not from Jiangdu, and this time the war was a great victory, as a victorious army, they were very courteous to Dongluo, and it was a very novel thing to be able to stay in a foreign land for the New Year's Festival.

Jin Chengyuan was very happy to see this, and he specially asked people to set aside two small islands for the Sheng army to be stationed and rest, and all the supplies and medicinal materials were arranged.

After everything was settled, Chang Suining stood on the top of an island on the outer edge of East Luohan Prefecture, looking at the Bohai Sea.

On the other side of the Bohai Sea is where Youzhou is located.

Cui Jing must have led the army to Youzhou, right?

Chang Suining had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

……

The news of the non-return of the perennial Ning New Year Festival was transmitted back to the Jiangdu Thorn History Mansion on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Wang Changshi took the letter to Chang Kuo, and the reason why he came here in person was because he wanted to ask Chang Kuo for advice.

Good night! (There will be a change at the end of the month, and there will also be Xiao Cui)
