Chapter 227: Losing a Lock
If you want to say that there are only a few important people in the court, the emperor will naturally not let the eldest prince lead the troops, even if the strength of a battalion is handed over to that man, it is not reassuring.
In addition to the eldest prince, it is impossible for the Prime Minister and the Imperial Doctor to go to lead the troops to aid Qi, and he is not worthy of letting such a person go to the battlefield in person.
Since the work is only a side assist, naturally there is no need to be too brave and good at fighting, on the contrary, the more experienced the generals will feel aggrieved when they arrive in the place.
Grandma's, leading the soldiers under her hands to work hard for other countries, I'm afraid that anyone with a little temper will be displeased.
So this leader of the troops, by the way, fell on the younger generation.
First, it is true that there is no need to be familiar with military books and know the layout, just follow behind the Qi army, and when people attack, they will release arrows in the back, and when the attack horn blows, just rush forward.
If they show too much autonomy, the two sides are prone to conflict, which is obviously not conducive to the war situation, after all, it is still in the name of assistance to support the Qi country, and the distinction between primary and secondary can be clear.
And the generals of the Dachang Dynasty are absolutely unwilling to obey the command of others, if it is our emperor who commands himself, it will be fine, after all, the king's order cannot be violated, but other countries, who can impatiently listen to you how we should fight?
Besides, this is indeed a great opportunity to practice, no matter how much you read the truth in books, no matter how much you listen to people, it will be so useful.
Only when you see the cruelty on the battlefield can you know what the bloody pestle you have read means.
It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, eleven years ago, the Sword Saint Ji Dongli traveled 10,000 miles east in order to figure out what the two words on the book meant, although in the end he did not solve the puzzle, but this does not mean that his approach is wrong.
The team that participated in the building test last year, some people still thought that the trip was beneficial to the students' mental training, although the result was a little miserable, but this is not to say that all harm is not good.
However, Li Si understood what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking, so his brows were furrowed, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze out of his back, and he struggled to stand firm, ensuring that he would not be seen by His Majesty the Emperor, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”
His Majesty the Emperor tilted his head, looked at the face of the Prime Minister, and asked, "Is the Prime Minister ill?"
Li Sitou lowered his head more and more, and replied: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the old minister is in good health, but he has been a little exhausted in recent days. ”
His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, with a heavy expression on his face, and said with some unbearable feelings: "Your Excellency has done your best for me, and I have worked hard for my lord." ”
Li Si's shoulders paused slightly, and he continued to bow his head and said: "The old minister's affairs are within his own, and he doesn't dare to be hard." ”
The Emperor nodded, and continued, "However, this kind of hard work may be over soon, and please hold on for a few more days." ”
Li Si was shocked in his heart, and asked with some doubts: "I don't know, I don't know what His Majesty said about the end, yes, what does it mean?"
A smile appeared on the emperor's face, put on a knowing expression, and said with a smile: "Those two have been out of the city for two days, and when there is progress, the adults will be able to rest and rest." ”
A smile squeezed out of the corner of Li Si's mouth, "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”
The emperor patted Li Si on the shoulder again and said, "Go, I will set off tomorrow, let my lord Aiko go to He'an County to hand over the military power, and the will will be prepared by me, and then it will be sent to the Prime Minister's mansion." ”
Li Si did not refuse, but bowed his head and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
After saying goodbye, he turned to leave, his steps were hurried, and he hurriedly got into the carriage when he walked to the palace gate, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice trembled: "Go home." ”
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hurriedly ran in, not bothering to rest for a while, but summoned the housekeeper to check the mansion and check if anything had been lost.
After a long time, the housekeeper reported, "Master, in the firewood room, a piece of iron lock was lost." ”
The prime minister's body was unstable, and his son Li Shen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and Li Si asked, "Is there a mark on the iron lock?"
The butler was puzzled, thought carefully for a moment, and replied: "The mansions of officials from all walks of life, whether they are money copper plates or ordinary utensils, are marked. ”
The housekeeper is right, this is the case in the mansions of officials from all walks of life, even if it is the income of officials, and even the taxes paid in various places, in order to facilitate management and statistics, they also have official seals.
There are many such benefits, if there are corrupt and bribery officials, you just need to go to the government to check it, and the money outside the mark is ironclad evidence, just want to check the question of whether or not to investigate.
Even thieves who dare to steal and rob the road, no matter what kind of money and goods they steal from an official's palace, or rob the taxes that are transported to the imperial court from all over the world, they can't spend it.
The Prime Minister didn't panic too much, but turned his head to glance at the cook in his house, and then waved his hand and said, "You all go down first." ”
When the other subordinates left, Prime Minister Li Si called the housekeeper and said softly: "Find a trustworthy person, build an identical one, and don't be discovered." ”
Although the housekeeper didn't understand why the master was so nervous because he just lost a lock.
Even if everything in the house belongs to the imperial court, and after returning to his hometown, he has to return it, but he just lost a lock, who will be held responsible?
Although the housekeeper had doubts in his heart, he still didn't dare to ask, let alone have the slightest puzzlement.
Noticing the caution in his master's words, he didn't do it immediately, but acted as if he didn't know anything.
Li Si stroked his forehead and slowly sat down with his son's support.
Avoid subordinates, one father and one son opposite.
Li Si looked at his son, did not sigh, did not explain what happened just now, but said silently: "Your Majesty asked you to lead the troops to help." ”
Li Shen was puzzled and asked, "Why is the child going?"
"Because you're the best. ”
Because you are a candidate for harmony, you are the most suitable, and because your future wife is there, you have to lead the soldiers.
Although there are many explanations in many ways, this one is the most simple and crude.
Li Shen bowed his head and was silent, and replied after a long time: "It shouldn't be that simple." ”
Li Si looked up at the sky and said with a wry smile: "Since you haven't refused, you can't refuse anymore, it's really not easy, but you still have to go." ”
Li Shen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Father is going to have an accident?"
Li Si frowned slightly, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one behind him before signaling the other party to come closer, and whispered: "So far, I won't hide it from you, you can only have a glimmer of life if you leave the capital." ”
"Is it because of the lock that was lost in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"If you lose something, someone takes it. Our majesty will not do useless things, he is going to do something to me. ”
"Since Your Majesty wants to do something to my father, then even if I leave the capital, I may not be able to survive. ”
Li Si nodded, "So I'm not asking you to really go to He'an County to receive military power, I want you to bypass He'an County, avoid contact with those soldiers, and go directly to the south to join the Zhennan Army." ”
"Zhennanjun doesn't ask where you come from, you need to be incognito, completely forget the Prime Minister's Mansion, and forget your surname Li. Only by joining the Zhennan Army can you live, so that you will not be shot by stray arrows on the battlefield, and there will be no cold gun attack anywhere. ”
"But if I don't obey my fate, my father won't be able to explain it. ”
Li Si got up, laughed twice, and then said bitterly: "The Prime Minister's Mansion lost the lock, and as the Prime Minister, I can't explain myself." ”
