The officials of the Eastern Empire in the capital would go to the Qiankun Hall in the imperial palace every morning to hold the morning court, which was an important occasion for officials to report to the emperor and discuss national affairs.

This is the first time that Taihao has participated in the early dynasty in the true sense.

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the sky was still a light blue. In Thousand Winds City, hundreds of officials came to the court early, preparing to participate in today's morning court. They were dressed neatly in official uniforms, wearing ribbons and official hats, with solemn expressions and steady steps.

In the Eastern Dynasty Hall, the officials have already assembled. They were arranged in the prescribed order, waiting for the imperial history to guide them into the court. Holding a jade wat in his hand, Yushi walked in the front, leading the officials slowly towards the hall.

When the officials entered the palace, Emperor Xuancheng was already sitting on the throne, waiting for their pilgrimage. He was dressed in a dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, and a solemn complexion. His gaze swept over each official, making them feel a sense of majesty and oppression.

The officials saluted the emperor in turn and shouted long live. They then began to report to the emperor and make recommendations. Some officials are eloquent and generous; Some officials are reticent but determined. The emperor listened carefully to the speeches of each official, nodding his head or asking questions from time to time.

The atmosphere of the entire court hall was solemn and solemn, with only the occasional whispering and footsteps. It was here that officials exchanged ideas, displayed their talents, and contributed to the development of the Eastern Empire.

In the court, Xuan Cheng instructed Tai Hao: "Tai Hao Aiqing, I originally wanted you to spend three days to sort out the army, but now I think about it, the front line is tight, I will only give you one day, and I will lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to Puchuan City early tomorrow morning to join General Mao Jing." ”

Taihao arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Xuan Cheng continued to ask, "Is Gusheng Aiqing here?" ”

Tai Hao didn't know that Gu Sheng was already in the court, and he was just about to reply to the emperor, saying that he forgot to go to Taiji Gate yesterday to inform Gu Sheng of this. Before he could speak, he suddenly heard Gu Sheng respond: "Weichen Gu Sheng sees the emperor." ”

Tai Hao looked back and saw Gu Sheng standing out from the corner of the last row of officials.

Xuan Cheng said: "Gusheng Aiqing, Taihao Aiqing recommended you as the deputy general of the thief, do you already know about this?" ”

Tai Hao hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, after leaving the palace yesterday, the minister went directly to the heavenly prison and interrogated Bi Luojing, and he didn't have time to inform Lord Gu Sheng." ”

Xuan Cheng bowed his head slightly, and said: "Okay, Gusheng Aiqing, I officially named you the deputy general of the thief, and together with Taihao Aiqing, I will lead the army to defeat the rebels." ”

Gu Sheng said: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Gu Sheng was full of emotion in his heart, he never thought that he would be able to get such a heavy responsibility. He bowed deeply to Taihao and thanked him. Then, he turned to face the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best to accompany Lord Taihao to lead the army to defeat the rebels and contribute their own strength to the peace of the country!" ”

Xuan Cheng nodded slightly and responded, "Okay, I believe that you will soon wipe out the rebels and let the people of the world be at peace." ”

As time passed, the early dynasty gradually came to an end. At this time, Xuan Cheng announced his retirement from the court, and the officials left the hall in an orderly manner according to their official positions.

As soon as he left the Qiankun Palace, Gu Sheng walked to Taihao's side and walked with him.

Gu Sheng said: "Lord Taihao, thank you for your trust. ”

Taihao looked at Gu Sheng, smiled and said, "Brother Gu Sheng, don't be so polite. Actually, I am very grateful that you did not refuse my offer to serve as the lieutenant general of the thief. Now we are going to fight together and work together for the peace of the Eastern Empire. So, we don't need to be polite to each other anymore! ”

Hearing Taihao's words, Gu Sheng also smiled. He knew that Taihao was a courageous and responsible official, and it would be interesting to fight with him. So, he also nodded to Tai Hao, indicating that he completely agreed with him.

Tai Hao continued: "Brother Gu Sheng, I want to go and ask the emperor for some instructions, you go to the camp of Thousand Winds City and wait for me first, I'll be there later." ”

Gu Sheng replied and left.

At this moment, Prime Minister Liang Yu suddenly stopped Taihao. Tai Hao stopped, hurriedly bowed his hand, and asked respectfully, "What do you command, Prime Minister?" ”

Prime Minister Liangyu looked at Tai Hao, smiled and said, "Lord Tai Hao, you will lead the troops to the battle tomorrow, and I have a few words to say to you." ”

"Prime Minister, you are also a mentor of my Taihao, before I went to Pinghe City, you taught me a lot of officialdom etiquette and military knowledge, I don't know what the Prime Minister has to teach me?" Taihao asked suspiciously.

Liang Yu said slowly: "I want to tell you that General Mao Jing, who is stationed in Puchuan City, is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, loyal to the emperor and the country, and has never had selfish thoughts. And he is brave and good at fighting, he has performed well in many wars, his combat style is based on surprise attacks, and he is good at using factors such as terrain and weather to play unexpected tactics. ”

"You're telling me that I'm going to learn tactics from General Ujing?" Taihao asked.

Liang Yu shook his head and continued: "This is just one of the points, of course it is a good thing to be able to learn his tactics from General Mao Jing, what I mainly want to say is that General Mao Jing is highly capable in terms of combat ability. However, General Mao Jing's temperament is extremely irritable, and even a little arrogant and domineering. So, when working with him, you should try to avoid conflicts so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for the reminder!" Tai Hao replied respectfully. "Then how do I avoid conflict with General Ujing when I work with him? I would also like to ask for the advice of the Prime Minister. ”

Liang Yu said: "Working with Mao Jing, whenever you encounter a problem, you have to remember these points, first, you must always stay calm, don't be affected by his emotions, and don't lose your temper easily or react violently. Staying calm helps you think better about problems and find the best way to solve them. Second, respect him, even if his words and actions make you feel unhappy or unhappy, but still respect his character and rights. Don't respond to him with offensive words or actions, but take a rational approach to communication and communication. Third, we should take him as the main player in our methods of warfare, and when discussing with him the methods and tactics of warfare against the rebels, we should listen to his opinions and ideas as much as possible, because after all, he has a lot of experience in warfare. Fourth, try to avoid arguing as much as possible, because Ujing has a violent temperament, so arguing with him will often only make things worse. Therefore, try to avoid arguing and instead adopt a peaceful attitude to resolve the issue. Finally, find a way to ask for help for problems that you really can't solve. You can go to the court and make a decision by the emperor. ”

After listening to Prime Minister Liangyu's words, Taihao nodded secretly in his heart, indicating that he would follow the instructions of the prime minister. He saluted Liang Yu and thanked him for his reminder and teaching.

"Lord Taihao, are you going to the Thousand Winds City camp to sort out the army now?" Liang Yu asked.

Tai Hao replied, "I need to go to the Zichen Hall first and report to the emperor about the interrogation of the traitor Bi Luojing yesterday. ”

Liang Yu said: "Since this is the case, then I will not delay your time." I saw that the Shaoling Horse was also heading in the direction of Zichen Palace, so go quickly. ”

After Tai Hao said goodbye to Liang Yu, he walked forward along the wide stone path, and after a short time, he came to the door of the Zichen Palace.

There were four guards guarding outside the gate of Zichen Palace, and Taihao was just about to enter when he was stopped, and at this moment, a eunuch came out and asked, "Lord Taihao, what's the matter with you?" ”

Tai Hao said: "This official has something to report to the emperor in person, and I also ask my father-in-law to go in and report to the emperor." ”

The little eunuch listened, nodded and said, "Lord Taihao, wait a while, and the slave will go in and inform the emperor." ”

After speaking, the eunuch hurriedly walked into the Zichen Palace, and came out after a while, shouting outside the door: "Lord Xuan Taihao is here!" ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he entered the Zichen Palace, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw the Shaoling Horse walking out of the Zichen Palace.

Taihao and Shaoling bowed to each other, but did not say much.

Entering the palace and seeing the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, Taihao saluted the emperor, and then respectfully reported the situation of Bi Luojing's interrogation yesterday.

Tai Hao said: "Your Majesty, the minister interrogated Bi Luojing yesterday and asked him about the situation of Yao Fuji's sons. According to Bi Luojing's confession, Yao Fuji had a total of ten sons, named Yao Sijia, Yao Si B, Yao Si C, Yao Si Ding, Yao Si Wu, Yao Si Ji, Yao Si Geng, Yao Si Xin, Yao Si Ren and Yao Si Gui. His eldest son, Yao Sijia, died early, and his second son, Yao Siyi, was named King of Jin after Yao Fuji became emperor. Yao Sijia and Yao Siyi are brothers of the same mother, and the other eight sons were all born to the 'queen'. After Yao Fuji became emperor, Yao Sibing naturally became the eldest son and was very favored by Yao Fuji. This threatened Xiao Siyi's position, so he assassinated Yao Sibing. But Yao Fuji did not blame Yao Siyi for this, because Yao Siyi was good at martial arts, especially good at riding and shooting, and was one of the more outstanding sons of Yao Fuji. Yao Fuji's fourth son, Yao Siding, although he is very wise and was named King Zheng, he is young but greedy for beauty, and he never asks about the affairs of the court. The rest of the sons are still young and pose no threat to our Eastern Empire. ”

"Hmm...... It's very detailed, I know, did Bi Luojing tell you anything else? Xuan Cheng nodded after hearing this and continued to ask.

Tai Hao continued: "Bi Luojing also explained to his ministers that the officials such as Fu Ganhe, Zhichenggang, Yu Qishuo, and Na Zhong Ding, who had been installed in Pinghe City by the first emperor, had already been rebelled by Fu Ji. ”

Xuan Cheng said: "I already know about this, and the young spirit horse has already reported it to me just now. ”

Tai Hao pondered: Shao Ling knew about this for a long time, why didn't he say it, he had to wait until he finished arraignment. But yesterday, Bi Luojing also told himself that he should "be careful of Shaoling", should this information be reported to the emperor?

Xuan Cheng continued, "The Young Spirit Horse will set off for Heavenly Snow City today, and he has just come to report something about Bi Luojing to me. Is there anything else you know about anything other than what you've just reported? ”
