Chapter 441: Out of the Plug (End)
"King Ande is really going to have a good time, and his sharpness is too strong."
After the inspection in front of the army, Su Wei, Pei Shiju and a group of guards surrounded the prince's car and entered Jinyang Chengguan...... Pei Shiju glanced at Jinyang Guanfang, his face was calm, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, he could always see the deepest part of people's hearts, and his tone was as dignified as an invisible mountain:
"You also saw it just now - this king is not only dissatisfied with His Majesty's arrangement, but also intends to coerce the prince as an elder, and his heart can be punished! Did King Ande think that these merits he had made were enough in exchange for His Majesty's eternal affection for him? In front of us, he dared to blatantly engage in factions in the army, pull mountains, and reject the ideas of the imperial court, which was a little too presumptuous. β
Su Wei glanced at Pei Shiju in surprise, in his impression, Pei Shiju has always been a good man, and it is rare to be so sharp. Su Wei rode on a horse, walking side by side with Pei Shiju, although he was also from a big family, but Su Wei still didn't know anything about horseback riding, naturally he was far inferior to Pei Shiju, and it took a long time to finally catch up, and he helped the official hat on his head, and said helplessly:
"Hongduo is worried, I think this King Ande is just not angry for a while, but he may not really have the intention of being disrespectful to His Highness...... After all, before I came to Jinyang, His Majesty was very kind to him, and there were few generals in the court who had more face than him in front of His Majesty, and now His Majesty's tone has changed, and the original favored clan general was suddenly snubbed, and it is understandable that he did something foolish under his depression. β
"Then he can't mess around!"
Pei Shiju was still angry, raised his horsewhip and pointed outside the city gate behind him and said, "No matter how much face he has in His Majesty, can he compare to Duan Dazai and Hu Luguang?" In the past, Hu Luguang had such a heavy authority in his hands, His Majesty asked him to go to Fenzhou, didn't he obediently obey the order? Your Majesty is so strong, how can it end well to provoke Tianwei? is the king of Lanling, even if there is a great grievance, don't you have to suffer it obediently? β
Su Wei had no choice but to follow his words and say:
"King Ander is indeed a little presumptuous......"
"He's not just arrogant, he's just too naΓ―ve!" Pei Shiju frowned, "I can't believe that this is actually something that such a powerful vassal king can do, and he talks about friendship with His Majesty...... When he arrives in the position of His Majesty, he has to care about the overall situation of the whole country, how can there be so much friendship to talk about? ! Can Your Majesty tolerate him once or twice, and ten or eight times? β
"I think that if King Ander doesn't change, sooner or later."
ββ¦β¦β
Su Wei stared at Pei Shiju's expression for a while, and suddenly laughed, stroking his beard while laughing, as if he had found something interesting. This laughter made Pei Shiju slightly unhappy, and asked with a frown:
"What's so funny, is it funny what I'm talking about?"
Su Wei raised his hand to apologize and said:
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm happy for Your Majesty, Hongdae finally has a bit of a national style...... Ahem, but I think it might be good for King Ander to make such a fuss. Brother Hongda, just imagine, when Duan Dazai was raised with a false title, and the position of the governor of Jinyang was vacant, His Majesty's uncles and brothers had several to use, but why did His Majesty choose King Ande? β
Pei Shiju's brows furrowed even more, and he couldn't help asking:
"Why?"
"Because he is sincere and loyal, he never tells lies to His Majesty!"
Su Wei smiled calmly: "King Ande was ridiculous when he was young, and he did all kinds of bad things, but in order to open his eyes for his deceased brother, he did not hesitate to anger the first emperor, and he was beaten half to death and still did not change his original intention, such a person can be called reliable, right?" King Langyu conspired to rebel, he claimed to be sick for several days, quelled the chaos for His Majesty at a critical time, and when he was a general outside, he was born and died several times, and almost lost his life, such a person can be called usable, right?
"Who do you say Your Majesty doesn't need him to use?"
"I see, even if he angers Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not mind too much, at most he will reprimand and demote, but believe it or not, it will not be long before Your Majesty will definitely use him again, Your Majesty will be suspicious of King Guangning, will be suspicious of King Rencheng, and even suspicious of King Lanling, but Your Majesty will definitely not suspect King Ande. If King Ande causes something more and makes His Majesty scold, won't the closeness be doubled? β¦β¦ Among the several kings in the clan, King Ande is still His Majesty's favorite! β
"Why?"
Pei Shiju no longer frowned this time, but was really curious about the root cause. I saw that this guy made an unfathomable face, stroked his short beard, and said with a slight smile: "Because there is no one in this court who can lead troops like King Ande, and write his unhappiness on his face clearly." Pei Shiju was speechless, and he couldn't even refute it at all, and for a long time, he replied with a smile:
"The fearless brother is exquisite, and he can actually understand His Majesty's mind, no wonder the official fortune is prosperous, and Hongdae admires it."
Su Wei's eyes widened: "Brother Hong can speak with his conscience, I just praised King Ande's sincerity and bravery, when did I ever speculate about Shangyi?" It's just us talking here, and you can't hurt me. β
Pei Shiju tugged at the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.
It is said that when smart people meet, half of them will appreciate each other, and half will hate each other, and Pei Shiju thinks that this surnamed Su is quite annoying.
Su Wei has now made it clear that he doesn't want to be Pei Shiju's foil, so Su Wei naturally wants to share the credit that Pei Shiju wants to get, which is destined to make these two pee less than in the same pot...... However, with the mission of protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the unsuccessful goal of dealing with King Ande, these two can only maintain a superficial peace for the time being.
After all, it's not yet time to pinch it up.
After the prince inspected the three armies, the next day the soldiers went out of Monan, thousands of soldiers and horses came out from the north gate, the prince went out of the city to send it away, and had to use the soldiers to escort it, there were many small and medium-sized Xianbei surnames in Jinyang, all of them were the heads of a clan, and they also looked at the wind and moved, in the name of the prince from the prince to send off the king's division, asked to add the children of their own clan, the team gradually grew, and the scene was magnificent.
Even if the prince was just placed there as an ornament, he was a little impatient at this time, twisted his small body, and asked uneasily, where is the uncle?
Su Wei replied as if soothingly, the governor had handed over the army to Daxi Changru.
The prince muttered quickly.
As long as the uncle comes, he can go and ride his pony, Su Wei couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Pei Shiju was holding the bright and sparkling holy edict and read it aloud: "...... The picture is good at raising armor soldiers, besieging the Turkic successors, and repeatedly showing troops on the border, which has the signs of violating the border...... What is the difference between this ruthless, unrighteous, kingless and fatherless man and a beast? I immediately ordered the Tiger Cavalry General Daxi Changru and Huaishuo and Wuchuan Zhuzhen Army to send troops to exterminate ......"
It's a lot of tea.
Pei Shiju quickly finished reading it, put away the edict, and said to Da Xi Changru: "When the general sends troops, he will follow the will of the saint and must lift the siege of the Western Turks." The old general took the edict and put it in his bosom, then put on his helmet and carried his horse through a detachment of horses until he came to the dense array of cavalry at the head of the front.
The six thousand soldiers and horses had already formed a long marching column, and more than a dozen elite generals were already waiting aside, Da Xi Changru grabbed the reins, raised his whip and pointed at these people, and then said:
"The old man has nothing to say, the old man just needs to win...... I don't care whose son you are, what background you have, if you don't obey the order, the old man will cut off his head. Other than that, there are no taboos! Whoever of you has taken sheep or cattle captive, it is yours; Whoever robs the other person's child is also yours; As long as you can grab it, it's all yours, and the old man won't take a penny! β
Pei Shiju glanced at him, his eyes showed a look of surprise, this old guy looked indifferent, it turned out that he had also worked hard behind his back, the soldiers and horses of the six towns of Jinyang were different from the government soldiers, they were recruited by the imperial court, most of them were the children of the internal migration tribes, more than 6,000 people, more than half of them were originally sheep herders on the grassland, and the most able to arouse their morale and recognition of the main general was undoubtedly the distribution of property.
really
As soon as they heard the conditions for battle, they all let out a roar of excitement like beasts, and the blades were frosty, pointing straight to the sky!
