Xu Jing said in a low voice: "There are no outsiders here, just two of us." I had a few heart-wrenching words with my cousin. ”

"The Murong clan has been in charge of the Praetorian Guard for more than a hundred years, and it has deep roots and intertwined roots in the Praetorian Guard. I was replaced by my cousin, and I had already replaced the Praetorian Guard general. ”

Prince: "......"

Xu Jing can say it!

The prince couldn't cry or laugh, and glanced at Xu Jing: "Don't talk nonsense." The Murong clan has been in charge of the Praetorian Guard for generations and is loyal to the Heavenly Family. What you just said, if it reaches General Murong's ears, won't it make General Murong feel cold? ”

After a pause, he slowed down his tone and said softly: "Cousin Jing, you were born and raised in Beihai County, and you are not familiar with the Chinese military generals of the DPRK. Murong Yao's ancestor was born in our Xu family's own soldiers, and he died to save Emperor Gaozu back then. Since then, the Praetorian Guard has been in charge of the Murong family. ”

"The Iron Guard Battalion is an army formed by the emperor's great-grandfather when he was alive, and the loyal and brave marquis in charge of the Xiaocai battalion was once the emperor's grandfather's confidant. Both of these armies can be replaced to be in charge. Only the Praetorian Guard, not to be replaced at will. Because, the Murong family has always been the slave of the Son of Heaven. ”

"I know that you dislike Murong Shen, and you don't have a good impression of General Murong. If you make a small move in private, it's just a matter of being idle. Don't make things difficult on the surface. ”

Xu Jing glanced at the prince deeply, and said slowly: "Does my cousin think that I am the kind of person who acts willfully and recklessly for the sake of personal grudges?" ”

The prince nodded: "Yes." ”

Xu Jing: "......"

Xu Jingjun's face distorted instantly.

The prince smiled dumbly, and his tone was much lighter: "Aren't you?" ”

Xu Jing touched his heart and said with his conscience: "I'm really this kind of person. ”

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After laughing, Xu Jing whispered again: "It's not that I'm a villain in vain. The cousin trusts the Murong family so much, and the emperor's trust in Murong and his son is well known. ”

"It's good that their father and son are loyal, but what if one day they have a different heart?"

"Now there are many wars in the Great Jin Dynasty, such as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Iron Guard Battalion are fighting outside, and there are only 30,000 guards left in the capital. If Murong father and son had the idea of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the world, who would be able to stop them? ”

The prince's smile froze.

The three armies in the capital are balanced by each other, and the command is in the hands of the Son of Heaven. The loyal and brave Marquis Dingguo Duke Murong clan did not get along with each other, which was more beneficial to the Son of Heaven.

As Xu Jing said, it doesn't hurt to do this in peacetime. Now the people of the Great Jin Dynasty are everywhere and fighting everywhere. The Marquis of Zhongyong and the Duke of Dingguo were not idle.

If only the Praetorian Guard was left in the capital, the safety of the entire imperial city would fall into the hands of Murong and his son...... Is that really okay?

Xu Jing's voice sounded in his ears: "Cousin, even if I am a villain in vain, I have to say all the words that I hold in my heart." ”

"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. The Murong family's power in the Praetorian Guard is too huge. These 30,000 Praetorian Guards are already about to become the private soldiers of the Murong family. ”

"Even if you want to continue to use their father and son, there must be a means of checks and balances. Otherwise, one day, the person who wields the sword will be injured by this sharp blade. ”

The prince did not say anything.

Xu Jing also stopped talking.

Since the day of his birth, the crown prince has been the heir of the Great Jin Dynasty. In the past ten years, Queen Su has poured all her heart and soul into her son, and several princesses have tried their best to teach the prince to become a wise monarch for thousands of years. The books that the prince has read are stacked higher than Xu Jing, how did all dynasties and dynasties lose the country? Every page of the history books is written, and they are all bloody lessons.

No matter how gentle his temperament is, he is also the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty. No one cares more about the stability and inheritance of the throne than him.

What Xu Jing said tonight deeply hit the prince's hidden worries.

After a long time, the prince whispered: "What you said tonight, you must not tell the second person." ”

Xu Jing nodded.

The prince was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know this matter in my heart. After returning to Beijing, I started to make arrangements. ”

Xu Jing's heart was relieved, and his eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched.

In the "dream" of the crescent sister's sister, Murong Shen's father and son plotted ~ usurpation~ and seized the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty. He can't tell him directly, he can only remind him like this.

Fortunately, the prince heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

……

This night, Xu Jing slept very soundly and peacefully.

The prince was so preoccupied that he didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

Father-in-law Lu was busy waiting for his master to wash and change clothes. The crown prince casually asked, "Where did the prince go?" ”

"Back to His Highness," Father-in-law Lu replied with a smile: "The prince got up on the fifth watch day and went to the martial arts training ground. ”

The Iron Guard Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion were both disciplined armies, and it was customary to practice five watches a day in the barracks. The Praetorian Guards also had the habit of practicing in the morning. As long as Xu Jing is in the barracks, he will get up early every day to practice with the soldiers.

A smile flashed in the prince's eyes, and he ordered: "Let people prepare more breakfast." ”

Father-in-law Lu hurriedly responded and retreated to arrange breakfast.

After a stick of incense, Xu Jing, who was full of sweat, came back. Sitting opposite the prince and eating breakfast together, a few bites of a steamed bun, moving chopsticks like flying, and the dishes on the table were like falling leaves swept away by the autumn wind, almost all of them entered Xu Jing's mouth.

The prince's meal was much smaller, and he ate elegantly.

Xu Jing filled his stomach and put his chopsticks down contentedly: "As soon as I went out to march and fight, I gnawed cakes and drank cold water every day, and I finally ate my breakfast today." ”

The prince was distressed when he heard this: "You too, I want to send an imperial chef to you, but you refuse to ask for it." ”

Xu Jing said with a smile: "On weekdays, we pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we can't march and fight." The soldiers ate dry cakes and drank cold water, and I sat there alone, making six dishes and one soup, what's the matter? ”

"I still learned this trick from General Feng. Eat, live and sleep with the soldiers, and get along with them quickly. When it was time to fight, he learned from General Gao, took the lead, and took the lead in charging. Therefore, we can win every battle. ”

Fighting a war is not a game, when you go to the battlefield, you have to draw a knife to kill people and shed blood.

Xu Jing was high-spirited and talked eloquently: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have two hundred soldiers around me. Before, I thought I was very powerful. It wasn't until I actually went to the battlefield that I realized that I was still far behind, and there was still a lot to learn. ”

"General Feng and General Gao are both famous generals of the Great Jin Dynasty. I really learned a lot from going to war with them this time. ”

Then, with some regret, he sighed: "Unfortunately, such opportunities are rare." I'm afraid I won't have a chance to go to war again. ”

The Great Jin Dynasty has many restrictions on the vassal king, and the son of a vassal king has no chance to lead the army at all.

Xu Jing, who has been tempered by the fire of war, is like a pearl of the night that has been polished again, blooming with scorching brilliance.

The prince glanced at Xu Jing, and the thought of thinking about it for most of the night last night jumped into his mind again.
