Chapter 157: Jia Xu: Wang Wenbo, you cheat me!
"Okay, good, what a heroic Mei Zhoulang!"
Looking at Zhou Yu in front of him, the joy in Zhao Yu's heart was almost beyond words.
He looked at Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin, and said with a smile:
"But I didn't want the two concubines to give me such a surprise!"
Compared with Du Pre, both of them are heroes in the Three Kingdoms period, although Du Pre has entered the Temple of Literature and the Martial Temple, but when it comes to specializing in water warfare, it is obvious that Zhou Yu is superior!
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, the Zhou family's faces showed joy.
They didn't expect that Zhao Yu's evaluation of Zhou Yu would be so high.
Seeing Zhao Yu praising himself like this, although Zhou Yu's heart was agitated, he lowered his head and said in his mouth:
"The grass people really don't dare to be Your Majesty's false praise!"
"Gong Jin should not be modest," Zhao Yu laughed, and stretched out his hand to help Zhou Yu up, "Just by Gong Jin's radiant face, you know that you are a person who has a bamboo in your chest." I believe that my eyes will not be wrong. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire Winter Snow Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
Only then did the Zhou sisters remember that their men had always been known for their keen eyes and good at promoting talents.
After ascending the throne, the people promoted by His Majesty, whether they are civil servants such as Zhuge Jin and Buqi, or military generals such as Zhang Xiu and Yin Shou, all have good qualities.
Zhou Jiamin, who has a bold personality, ignored her sister's warning and said with a smile:
"But I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so optimistic about Brother Gongjin?"
"Concubine Ai, don't you think I'm joking with you?" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "For Gong Jin's talent, I have more confidence than your sisters. If you don't believe it, why don't you take the exam for Gongjin with the questions? ”
"Your Majesty, how can the concubines and sisters know about any national affairs......"
Zhou Xian was about to resign, but unexpectedly, Zhou Jiamin next to him was quick to speak, and said in front of her:
"Okay, okay. Your Majesty, the concubine once heard that Wang Shumi's "Pingbian Policy" attracted His Majesty's surprise, why don't you follow the example of Gongjin's brother? ”
"Little sister!"
Zhou Xian's voice was faintly angry.
This girl relied on Her Majesty to spoil her, and she dared to say anything.
Wang Shumi is a minister of His Majesty's hidden palace, and he has the merit of following the dragon, and His Majesty treats him with a teacher, which can be described as an abnormal respect.
If these words in the palace are spread today, it will only make others think that their sisters are pampered and arrogant, and they do not respect the ministers, which will not only affect the prestige of the two in the palace, but also affect the careers of their father and brother.
"Xian'er, don't blame Jia Min." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I also want to hear what Gong Jin has to say about the current situation. But after that, Jia Min needs to go and apologize for serving tea to Mr. Wang. In the end, Zhao Yu's tone was slightly stern.
Seeing Zhao Yu's attitude, Zhou Jiamin stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more.
"Your Majesty is very loving, and the grass people are grateful."
Zhou Yu bowed to Zhao Yu, but his eyes were full of confidence.
"Regarding the situation in our dynasty, the grass people also have a little shallow opinion, and please ask Your Majesty to correct one or two."
"Okay, I'm listening!"
Zhao Yu made a "please" gesture.
Knowing that this is an assessment of himself by His Majesty, it is related to his future future, even if he is extremely confident in himself, Zhou Yu did not dare to be careless, pondered for a moment, organized the language, and then spoke:
What Wang Shumi's "Pingbian Policy" said is right. The Jin Kingdom is vast and rich, so you can't take it urgently, you can only slow it down. Myanmar and Yunnan are located in remote areas, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if they are taken by force, if they cannot win quickly, then the rest of the countries take advantage of the situation to attack. Therefore, looking at all the countries, only the Qi country is the easiest to attack. ”
"The grass people have traveled to the southeast and learned from the fishermen that there are two islands in the sea, one is called Ningbin and the other is Fanwan. From the Canglong River into the sea, until more than 200 miles to the east, you can reach Fanwan Island. This island is about 100 miles in circumference, and you can build a village on the island. ”
"On the day of the Northern Expedition, he ordered a general to lead his troops to be stationed in the upper reaches of the Canglong River to deter the Jin State and make it dare not act rashly; Then he ordered the two generals to lead their troops and horses, one from the lower reaches of the Canglong River into the Qi realm, and the other from Fanwan Island to attack and harass the coast of Qi. Qi is difficult to take care of, save this is to lose the other, Gu to lose this, so repeatedly, will be exposed, and then our army will rush to the eastern capital with lightning speed, and capture the Lord of Qi in a battle, so, the Qi realm can be determined. ”
"If you have the Qi realm, you can attack the Central Plains if you advance, and you can hold on to the south of the Yangtze River if you retreat. Then he made peace with Daxia, bribed him with gold and silver property, and let him send troops to attack and harass Dajin, so that his army and people were exhausted, and our dynasty recuperated and waited for the time. If the lord of Jin is not in the right position, there will be disasters in the future. When there was a change in the Jin Kingdom, His Majesty personally led the division of Jiangnan and crossed Canglong to the north; Then he ordered a general to lead the troops of Qi Realm and go west out of Jiatong Mountain to enter Jin. In this way, the Central Plains can be determined, and the hegemony can be made! ”
Zhou Yu said, bowed to Zhao Yu, and said:
"This is the grass people's shallow view, which makes His Majesty smile!"
At this time, Zhao Yu listened to Zhou Yu's strategy, a faint flush appeared on his handsome face, and he praised the case:
"Well, that's a great thing! Listening to Gongjin's words, it is like drinking fine wine, and you don't feel drunk! Two concubines, how can your brother learn, I don't need to say much. ”
I saw Zhao Yu pointing at Zhou Yu and laughing:
"I am a military minister in the Chu Dynasty, there are many generals, and there are few who can be handsome, but Guan Zhenguo, He Ba Adou Ni and Du Yuankai are three people, and now they can add one more!"
Needless to say, He Ba A Dou Ni is He Ba Yue, in the history of China, is the first generation of leaders of the six towns of Guanlong, and his talent is even higher than the two brothers.
However, among the two, Du Yu is more inclined to give advice, while He Batyue is better at land warfare, and can only be said to be average for water warfare.
If the Chu State wants to go on a northern expedition, it must have people who are good at water warfare, and Zhou Yu is undoubtedly the best choice.
Not to mention, in Zhou Yu's strategy, he even mentioned the strategy of occupying coastal islands and attacking the coastal state capitals of Qi by sea, which is enough to prove the uniqueness of this genius in water warfare.
You must know that in this era, even if there is a miracle of martial arts, people often keep away from the vast and boundless sea, but in Zhou Yu's strategic planning, he did the opposite and took the sea as part of his strategy.
Zhou Jiashuangshu's eyes burst out with a little joy.
They didn't expect Zhao Yu's evaluation of Zhou Yu to be so high.
"The grass people don't dare to be so praised by His Majesty."
Zhou Yu's attitude is still very modest.
"You can't be mistaken." Zhao Yu's attitude was even firmer than Zhou Yu's, and he turned his head to Gao Lishi, who was standing aside, and said, "Lux, go to the Zihuan Hall and get my sword." ”
"Your Majesty......"
Seeing Gao Lishi go away, Zhou Yu, who seemed to realize something, trembled slightly with his hands and said in a trembling voice.
Zhao Yu motioned for Zhou Yu to return to his seat, and said lightly: "Don't say more." Gong Jin is a national soldier, and I should treat him with the courtesy of a national soldier. ”
"Minister, Zhou Yu, dare to exhaust the strength of the humerus and be loyal to the festival of chastity, in order to repay the kindness of His Majesty's knowledge!"
[Ding, Zhou Yu's loyalty has reached full value, and intimacy has reached full value! ] 】
[Because of Dika's "Changsha Huan King - Sun Ce", Zhou Yu automatically became a "close minister". Origin automatically becomes "relative"! 】
A short time later, Colliers walked in from outside the hall, holding a scroll in his arms.
"Where's my sword?"
Zhao Yu glanced at it and asked lightly.
Gao Lishi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the sword is a sharp weapon, and it is ominous to be exposed, so the slave and maid hid it in Zhou Meiren's painting and brought it over." ”
As he spoke, he used his hands to respectfully hand the painting scroll and the sword of the Son of Heaven in it to Zhao Yu.
Zhou Xian covered his mouth lightly and asked with some surprise: "Your Majesty, what is this painting ......?"
Taking the scroll from Gao Lishi's hand, Zhao Yu gently unfolded the scroll and said with a smile: "Yes, it is Xian'er's "Begonia Falling Magpie". ”
The four ladies of the harem are all good at singing and dancing, but when it comes to Danqing, only Zhou Xian is quite proficient.
If it weren't for today, she would not have known that His Majesty had actually hung his paintings in the Purple Palace.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xian's eyes looking at Zhao Yu were full of tenderness and sweetness.
"Lux, get this scroll for me!"
Taking out the sword of the Son of Heaven from the picture scroll, Zhao Yu instructed Gao Lishi, holding the scabbard embroidered with a golden dragon in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right hand.
Boom!
In the next moment, a cold light jumped out, and the edge passed through, making people's hairs stand on end.
Good sword!
Rao is Zhou Yu is used to seeing the sword, looking at the frost-like sword light, he can't help but praise in his heart.
Zhao Yu danced a few sword flowers casually, and then put the sword back into the sheath and handed the long sword to Zhou Yu with the scabbard.
"As the saying goes, pink gives beauty, and sword gives hero. This frost sword is a gift from my ancestor to me in the past. Now, it's my gift to Gongjin. ”
Looking at the frost sword handed over by Zhao Yu, Rao is Zhou Yu is young and old, and he couldn't help but stir in his chest at this time.
Because this is not only an ordinary sword of the Son of Heaven, but also a gift of His Majesty's crown, but also one of the few objects left by His Majesty's deceased father to His Majesty, and His Majesty did not hesitate to give it to himself.
Since ancient times, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.
When a famous minister meets a Ming monarch, it will become a good story for the ages; When a celebrity meets a faint king, it is a pearl secretly cast.
And Your Majesty is just seeing himself for the first time today, not disliking that he is a grass people, asking about the affairs of the country, and even giving him the sword of the Son of Heaven, how can he Zhou Gongjin live up to His Majesty's trust?
Although there are two of them, His Majesty's trust in himself can be seen.
In the past, he had also heard people talk about His Majesty's means of turning over the clouds and raining hands, but he didn't want to, but he also had such a far-sighted and decisive side!
Zhou Jiamin looked at Zhou Yu stunned in place, his heart was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but remind:
"The sword of the Son of Heaven is loyal and good, and after a hundred years, I am afraid it will also be a good story. Brother Gongjin, you still don't accept this Son of Heaven Sword? ”
"Minister Zhou Yu, thank Your Majesty Longen, dare not to repay with death!"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he woke up like a dream, hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and respectfully took it with both hands.
Zhao Yu looked at Zhou Yu, who was a little restrained, and said with a smile behind his back:
"This frost sword I gave to Gong Jin, but I am reluctant to part with my love in this "Begonia Falling Magpie Picture". So, Lux, you will personally send Gongjin out of the palace in a while. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xian suddenly blushed, looked at Zhao Yu with a pair of wonderful eyes, and couldn't say a word.
Among the many courtiers who were summoned by His Majesty alone, none of them were rewarded by His Majesty when they met for the first time, let alone the gift of His Majesty and the crown, the relics of his father, even if there were two mothers in it, but His Majesty's appreciation and care for this Zhou Gongjin had been clearly expressed.
In time, this one will be a court official like the king's privy councillor.
Gao Lishi, who realized this, hurriedly replied:
"Slave and maid command."
Zhao Yu looked at Zhou Yu, muttered for a long time, and said:
"Gong Jin, when you first entered the court, you first went to the Privy Council to serve as a counselor to Mr. Wang, and first experienced and familiarized yourself with military affairs. When the time is ripe, I will let Gongjin take charge of the army alone, what do you think? ”
Although he admired Zhou Yu extremely and wanted to worship him as a general immediately, he also knew in his heart that even if he was in power now, if he really did this, he would only make the hearts of the people in the army and the DPRK fluctuate, and the complaints would rise sharply, so he could only slowly try to do it. Wait for Zhou Yu to make contributions, and it is not too late to be promoted.
Zhao Yu believes that with Zhou Yu's talent, it is like a cone in the bag, and its benefits are self-evident.
Zhou Yu heard Zhao Yu's arrangement for him, and hurriedly said, "The grass people obey the order." ”
From the common people to the four-rank privy counselor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has leapt to the sky.
What's more, he has heard the name of Wang Pu, the "emperor teacher", for a long time, and now that he can listen to the teachings under the other party, what is he not satisfied with Zhou Gongjin?
…………
At the same time that Zhou Yu entered the court as an official, Wang Pu, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, also came to the imperial prison alone.
"Your Excellency."
Seeing Wang Pu coming, the jailer hurriedly saluted.
"Take the official to room No. 1, and the official wants to meet an old friend."
The jailer did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Wang Pu to a cell in the deepest part of the Imperial Prison.
However, the moment the cell was opened, Wang Pu's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
Because of the strong smell of wine, I saw that in a two-square cell, there were more than a dozen empty wine jars scattered on the ground, and half of the futon on the bed was hanging on the ground, and although the man on the couch was still asleep, he was holding a wine jug tightly in his hand.
"This Wu Yizhi's ......"
Wang Pu glared at the person on the couch, turned his gaze to the jailer on the side, and snorted coldly:
"Why does this guy still have wine? Didn't the official tell you to wait, don't give this guy a drop of wine? ”
"This ......"
The jailer's face fell, and he knew that it was going to be bad, but in the face of the first-class master in front of him, the Emperor of the Son of Heaven, he didn't dare to hide it at all, so he had to cry and say with a sad face:
"Mr. Wu often wants to drink wine in prison, and when he sees that I don't agree, he wants to bet with the villain, saying that he is going to lose, so he will give the villain a splash of wealth and fortune, and promise not to break the law, and if the villain loses, he only needs to give him a pot of wine......"
Before the jailer finished speaking, Wang Pu said, "I guess you haven't won a single game." ”
"Is Wenber coming?"
At this moment, Wu Yizhi, who heard the movement, opened a pair of drunken eyes, yawned, and said:
"Then you can blame them, they are in their own hands, but they have won a few games."
Wang Pu waved his hand and motioned for the jailer and the others to withdraw.
Seeing the cell door closed, Wang Pucai said angrily: "How many games have you won?" That's just a bait to keep them losing! It's okay for you to deceive those jailers, but you can't deceive me, Wang Wenbo! ”
"I heard those jailers say, Wen Bo, you are now the privy envoy of the little emperor's new privy council, and you are in charge of the military affairs of a country, and you are extremely valued."
Wu Yizhi lazily sat up from the bed and looked Wang Pu up a few times.
"Now that Brother Wang is busy, how can he still have time to go to the younger brother?"
Wang Pu sighed and said, "Don't tell me, Yizhi, you can't guess what you mean by brother." ”
Wu Yizhi raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the junior brother thinks it is very good here." ”
Wang Pu shook his head helplessly and said, "If you insist on this, it is inconvenient for your brother to force it." However, Brother Wei is here this time to tell you two news. ”
"First, three months ago, Wang Duruo, who was in the Jiangnan camp, killed himself after learning that Huang Jingming was defeated, and His Majesty took pity on him and ordered the two generals of Fang Chaofan Town to bury his body alive."
"Brother Wang is strong, Yizhi admires, go all the way."
When Wu Yizhi heard this, he was shocked, and silently sprinkled the little wine left in the jug on the ground to express the meaning of sacrifice.
There was a sudden silence in the cell.
After a long while, Wu Yizhi's voice sounded again.
"Brother Wang, can you tell the younger brother why the two generals, Fan and Fang, abandoned Taihe Wang that night?"
This is what he can't figure out these days in prison.
Hearing Wang Pujian say the word "Miao Jiang" in a shocked manner, Wu Yizhi's face showed a look of sudden realization, and then his face darkened, and he shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly.
"When the younger brother heard that King Taihe had sent General Fan to greet His Majesty and Brother Wang, he laughed secretly in his heart, I wonder what General Fan will do after he knows the truth about Miao Jiang? But I didn't expect this retribution to come so quickly......"
Wang Pu said expressionlessly;
"Heaven is evil, but it is still alive; A man who has done iniquity shall not live. If you lose the hearts of the people, let you be a hero, and in the end there is only one way to lose. Huang Jingming is to blame for this, and he can't blame others. ”
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for solving the confusion in my little brother's heart." Wu Yizhi hugged Wang Pu with a fist, "What about this second message?" ”
"The State of Qi and the State of Burma learned that the situation in our Great Chu Dynasty was turbulent, and they wanted to take advantage of the fact that His Majesty's foundation was not stable, and sent troops to invade our country."
"Robbing while the fire is fire, human nature. If you were a younger brother, you would do the same. Wu Yizhi nodded unexpectedly, and then said, "However, Brother Wang can take time out of his busy schedule to see the younger brother, which shows that this enemy problem has been solved." ”
It's so easy to talk to smart people!
Wang Pu glanced at Wu Yi appreciatively, and said:
"What Yi Zhi said is right, Your Majesty drove the southern expedition, first quelled the rebellion, then retreated from Burma, and finally made a bloody alliance with the tribes in southern Xinjiang, and the southwest has been completely pacified since then. As for the Qi army, Guan Zhenguo was given a secret plan by His Majesty to annihilate the Qi army's sailors at a very small cost, and Zhang Zhaoxing was also killed in the chaos, and his body sank into the Canglong River. ”
"What?"
Hearing Wang Pu say this, Wu Yi subconsciously stood up from the bed and asked in surprise:
"Brother Wang, are you kidding? How could southern Xinjiang be so easy to pacify? Even if you don't talk about southern Xinjiang, Zhang Zhaoxing of Qi is a famous general, how can he die on the battlefield so easily? ”
Now that's it, this Wang Wenbo still keeps saying that it is all the little emperor's plan......
Do you really think you're a three-year-old?
Looking at Wu Yizhi, who was shocked and suspicious, Wang Pu's face did not change in the slightest, but he asked lightly: "Could it be that in Yizhi's eyes, being a brother is the kind of person who loves to lie and deceive?" Even if you don't believe in being a brother, you can ask this dynasty Chinese martial arts, the people in the city, to see if what they say is the same as that of brother? ”
was asked by Wang Pu like this, Wu Yizhi was speechless.
Because he heard a strong confidence from the other party's mouth.
It's just that this little emperor is really as wise and powerful as Brother Wang said?
Wu Yizhi's eyes couldn't help but appear in front of the scene of the gold-casting man on the top of Fuyu Mountain Taibai asking the ghosts and gods, and his heart couldn't help but waver, and he couldn't help but ask himself.
Could it be that the son of the Marquis of An Guo is really destined for heaven?
Wang Pu looked at Wu Yizhi's somewhat skeptical appearance of life, and said lightly:
"If Yizhi really doesn't have half of the interest in his work, then it will be in vain to say more for his brother. It's just a pity that there are often people in the Privy Council for my brother, and the reason why Huang Jingming was turned over by His Majesty against the wind was entirely because Yi Zhi's intelligence was not enough to be the mastermind. For my brother, I wanted to invite Yizhi out of the mountain, firstly, to show what he had learned, and secondly, to quell those rumors and prove Yizhi's ability to the world. Now that I see Yizhi's appearance, I realized that I thought a lot about my brother. It's okay, Yizhi is here, if necessary, let the jailer tell him to be a brother. If Yizhi figured it out one day, he could also ask the jailer to inform his brother. ”
With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Brother Wang, slow down!"
Just as Wang Pu was about to step out of the cell, Wu Yizhi finally spoke.
"Brother's agitation method is too rough, and it is useless for Yizhi. However, although Yizhi is a sinner, he cannot tolerate such humiliation from others. Yi Zhi implored his brother to agree, let Yi Zhi go to the Privy Council with his brother, and let those broken mouths see if the younger brother is worthy of the position of master! ”
Wang Pu turned his back to Wu Yizhi, and the corners of his mouth provoked a smile.
Naja Wenhe is not bad, please be better than agitated.
When Wu Yizhi gets out of this cell, I am afraid that it will not be possible to come back again.
"Well, since Yizhi said so, how can he not allow it to be a brother."
After that, Wang Pu called the jailer and dressed up Wu Yizhi, and then he went out of the prison with him.
On the way to the Privy Council, Wu Yizhi couldn't help but ask:
"Dare to ask my brother, what is the name of the person with the broken mouth?"
Wang Pu laughed and said, "That person has just entered the Privy Council, and it was specially arranged by the saint." This person's surname is Jia Mingxu, his words are harmonious, and he is also quite a resourceful person, so Yizhi should not underestimate him. ”
The person that the little emperor values?
Wu Yizhi's eyes froze, and the fighting spirit surged out of his chest.
in the Privy Council.
Jia Xu, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, was chatting with the newcomer Zhou Yu, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and looked up, but it was Wang Pu and another person walking in.
"I have seen the privy envoy!"
Jia Xu and Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Come on, Wen He, Gong Jin, this official and the two of you will introduce, this one is Wu Yizhi that the official once mentioned to you."
Wang Pu introduced the two sides.
Wu Yizhi automatically ignored Zhou Yu in the past, and his eyes were fixed on Jia Xu who was smiling.
"Your Excellency is Mr. Wenhe, I am not talented, please give me advice."
"This ......"
Jia Xu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at Wang Pu.
When he saw the smile in Wang Pu's eyes, he immediately reacted.
Wang Wenbo, you yin me!
Although he likes to hide clumsy, he is not a person who is afraid of things.
So, Jia Xu and Wu Yizhi set up the chessboard and played against each other.
Unexpectedly, after five games in a row, both of them ended in a draw.
Seeing this result, everyone except Jia Xu was stunned.
I really didn't expect this Jia Wenhe to have such skills!
In the end, even Zhou Yu's hands itched, and he couldn't help but play a few games with the two.
When the chess game was over, the three of them all felt a little sorry for each other.
Naturally, Wu Yizhi also stayed in the Privy Council, and like Jia Xu and Zhou Yu, he served as the Counselor of the Privy Council.
