As always, he reviewed the recital until late at night, and after reading the content of a certain recital, he threw it to the ground in a rage, and said angrily: "Bastard. ”

The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground, picked up the fold, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. ”

Xinjun took a deep breath, calmed down, and said after a while, "Give me the music." ”

The content of the memora is that the border army in the north asks him for military pay.

It turned out that in addition to the desert in the east, the Liang Kingdom had enemy countries in the west, south, and north, especially the powerful grassland empire Tuyuan Kingdom in the north, which was a nomadic empire that could compete with the Jin State in the most glorious era.

Therefore, the heavy troops hoarded in the north of the Liang Kingdom were to resist the invasion of the Tuyuan Kingdom. But over the years, I don't know how much food has been spent, and the army in the north has never won a battle, but every time it comes time to ask for food, there is no ambiguity at all.

The most ridiculous thing is that there is also news from the army in the north. said that he colluded with the demon Tao and forced the Emperor Taishang to give him the throne, and it was not right to win the country.

Xinjun was angry in his heart, and he was even more indescribable. If it weren't for the acquiescence of those military leaders, how could this kind of news spread out in the army at will. Military law is strict, and he is not unaware. Any rumors in the military that can be spread must have something to do with the acquiescence of the military's top brass.

These people are nothing more than trying to take advantage of him.

If they can win the battle, it's all wine bags and rice bags, and they are embarrassed to ask him for money.

But he knew that although he had stabilized the court, he did not have a real armed force that could be trusted, and once these military leaders rebelled, the situation would be out of control.

But these people are too greedy, and they actually ask him for a military salary of one million taels, and it is really impossible to think that the treasury of Liangguo is full of gold.

After losing his temper, Xinjun rubbed his temples and finally approved the word "quasi" on the fold.

He then continued to look at the next recital, his face calm. He is really a very reasonable person, and he knows that losing his temper only relieves his mood, and does not change the facts. He still had to do what he had to do, and he didn't have to dwell on it.

While the new monarch was working hard for state affairs, the old monarch received envoys from the northern border army in his bedroom. Within a few months, he had gray hair. Power can make people energetic, and losing power can also make people age quickly.

"You want to re-establish me?" said the old monarch.

The envoy said: "Yes, where can the prince compare with Your Majesty, the Great Liang Kingdom needs you." ”

The old monarch flashed a trace of eagerness, in fact, there are many old courtiers who have come to complain to him recently, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, many of these old ministers he mentioned have been marginalized in the court. But the eagerness in his eyes quickly faded, because he remembered the national teacher. These people will not understand how terrible the national teacher is, as long as the national teacher is still in Liangguo for a day, he will not have other thoughts. Without power, he is at least alive, and the crown prince has no more measures to restrict him except for not letting him leave the palace at will.

In the royal family, it is too common for fathers and sons to kill each other, but in comparison, his son is already very benevolent.

The old monarch sighed and said, "You are all loyal to the new emperor, he did not force me to abdicate. ”

The envoy showed a look of surprise and said, "Your Majesty, is it because of the national teacher, but Your Majesty doesn't need to be afraid of him, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't compete with our 100,000 elites." ”

The old monarch shook his head and said, "You don't have to ask, and don't come to me in the future." Go back and tell your generals to be loyal to the new king. ”

The envoy wanted to persuade again, but the old monarch waved his hand, flashed out two guards, and invited the envoy out.

Although he was mediocre, after thinking of the national teacher, he suddenly sobered up, where did these people want to support him to restore the throne, it was clear that he was no different from the national teacher, and he also had a heart of disobedience. He suddenly woke up to the fact that the generals of the northern border army seemed to have not changed for many years.

The old monarch has always disliked managing court affairs, and at this time he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know much about Liangguo.

He clapped his hands, and an old eunuch walked in and said, "Emperor, what do you command?" ”

The old monarch said, "You go and call the prince." “

As soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that the crown prince had become a monarch.

The old eunuch was embarrassed: "Your Majesty should be reviewing the folds now, and I am afraid it is inappropriate to disturb him now." ”

The old monarch said: "It's late now, why is he still reviewing the recital, is there so much to do in the country?"

The old eunuch slandered in his heart: It's only your old man who thinks the world is peaceful.

He said: "The slave doesn't know much about things outside the palace, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, he reviewed and folded until late at night every day, and a lot of things happened outside. ”

The old monarch said, "Every day?"

The old eunuch said, "Yes." ”

"No wonder he rarely comes to see me, because he is busy with state affairs, you go and tell him, I also have something to find him, let him come here. The old monarch couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his son, he was still a human after all, and the prince did not commit rebellion, so there was still family affection between father and son.

............

"What, you said that my father had something to do with the widow?" Xinjun took a sip of ginseng tea to refresh himself.

The old eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, the Emperor Taishang asked His Majesty to go." ”

Xinjun nodded and said, "Okay, the widow will go over to greet him, you can retreat first." ”

Waiting for the old eunuch to retreat, the eunuch beside Xinjun said: "Your Majesty, will there be any problems here, I have received a report here that someone from the northern border army has secretly entered the palace of the emperor." ”

Xinjun said: "There must be something wrong with my father looking for a widow, but the widow believes that he will not harm the widow, as for the people of the northern border army looking for him, it is nothing more than saying bad things about the widow, in this big house, no one can do anything to the widow." ”

After tidying up his appearance, the new monarch went to see him in the old king's bedroom.

Seeing that the old monarch was much older, the new monarch was also a little sad, and said, "The child has seen his father. ”

The old monarch said: "I heard that you are busy with political affairs every day, I shouldn't have bothered you, but recently some people in the government and the opposition seem to be dissatisfied with you, I called you over, just to remind you that it is better to be fair and careful." ”

After listening to the old monarch's words, the new monarch disagreed, and said, "Is it that the border army in the north is dissatisfied with me?"

The old monarch nodded and said, "A man from the northern border army just came to see me and told me something. ”

As soon as he said this, the new monarch felt warm in his heart, if the old monarch concealed this matter, it means that he really wanted to restore the throne, then the new monarch had to take some extraordinary measures, but in that case, it would also make him very sad.

Xinjun said: "Thank you for reminding me, the child will be careful." ”

He pondered for a while, and then said: "In the past, when my father used to take the national teacher's elixir, his complexion was much better than now, and I heard that my father had eaten those elixirs, and the child went to ask the national teacher for some more." ”

The monarch was angry and said, "I don't want his things even if I die." ”

Xinjun sighed, in fact, this matter is not authentic for the emperor. People first exorcised ghosts for you, and then sent pills, but for the sake of a woman, they actually sent someone to demolish other people's Taoist temples, and no one could bear this breath. What's more, the national teacher is so capable, and the father doesn't weigh it in advance.

But the new monarch knew what kind of temper his father was, so he didn't say anything else, and the father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they gossiped for a while. It's just that now that the two get along, it's still a little awkward, and it didn't take long for Xinjun to say goodbye and leave.

In this way, time flies, the years go by, winter goes to spring, and it is February.

Although the northwest is a bitter cold place, in February, it was already a little warm, and Xinjun had leisure again, so he decided to go to Baiyun Temple again.

It was still a micro-service patrol, but before it reached the foot of Baiyunguan Mountain, it found a cliff.

Xinjun said to the left and right: "Last time I came, there was no such cliff." ”

Left and right: "No." ”

Xinjun wondered: "Is it the wrong way?" ”

He looked ahead again, the green mountains were faintly in sight, and there was a view on it, revealing a corner of the eaves, which should be a white cloud view.

Left and right: "Your Majesty, look, there is an iron cable there." ”

The fog floated under the cliff, and I don't know how deep it was, only a lone iron cable connected the two sides. Although there are guards around the new monarch, and the martial arts are not shallow, the mountain wind is uncertain, and the iron rope is not thick, and the guards are not so bold to dare to carry the monarch on their backs.

While they were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard a singing:

Watching chess is rotten, logging Ding Ding, and the cloud side valley mouth Xu Xing.

Selling salaries and drinking, laughing wildly and cultivating himself.

The path is high in autumn, and the pine roots of the moon pillow are bright in the sky.

Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and break the withered vine with an axe.

Harvest into a load, in the song market, easy rice three liters.

There is no competition, and the price is mediocre.

No accounting, no honor and disgrace, tranquility and longevity.

Everywhere they meet, they are not immortals, they are Taoists, and they sit quietly and talk about "Yellow Court".

Looking at the past, it was a woodcutter, I saw him a pair of cloth shoes, carrying a bundle of firewood, stepping on the thin iron cable, singing Taoist songs, walking like flying, and soon came from the other side of the cliff.

Xinjun said: "I'm afraid this person is not a strange person, let's stop him and ask." ”

Left and right got the new king's orders, so he stepped forward to stop the woodcutter.

The woodcutter said, "Where did you come from, what are you stopping me for?" ”

Xinjun came over and said, "This eldest brother, I saw that you crossed this chain bridge, as if you were walking on the ground, you should be a very capable person, so I want to make friends." ”

The woodcutter hurriedly said: "You official, don't lift me up, where do I have any ability." It's just that a few days ago, somehow, the ground here suddenly cracked open and a cliff appeared. I have to go up the mountain every day to cut wood to subsidize my family, and with this cliff, I can't go into the mountain. I am old and young, and if I can't cut firewood, my family will have to drink the northwest wind. I was not afraid of official jokes, so I cried at this cliff that day, but I didn't expect to provoke the gods of Baiyun Temple on the mountain. He asked me why I was crying.

I'll tell you the truth. The fairy listened to my complaints, and said that he had made this cliff to prevent idlers from entering the mountain. When he saw that I was pitiful, he pulled out a rope and told me that I would step on it in and out of the mountains. I've always been timid, not to mention that this is just a lonely iron rope, where I dare to step on the past, I begged the gods to help me find a way.

The fairy passed me a set of footwork, he said that this is called Tiyun Zong, and if you practice it well, you can even step on the white clouds in the sky. After I learned, I was able to step on the rope and cross the cliff with ease. I went home and told my wife that he asked me to repay the gods with kindness, so I took the local chickens and eggs at home, and went to the river to catch a fish and send it to the temple. ”
