Text Chapter 22 Old age does not fall into the clouds
Today's early dynasty has nothing else to do, but the military department still has a statement, "In the winter of the sixteenth year of Tianjiao, there are more than 30,000 demon barbarian troops besieging the northern frontier and stepping on the northern city, and the abbot of the two wishes temple of the northern frontier ruler Tianya is not vain, and the former Southern Shu Dingjiang Wang Xiaolong army chief general Chen Kesheng is alone, and more than 30,000 demon barbarian troops have all retreated. ”
Above the court, on the ninety-five dragon chair, there was a middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, with a slightly tired face, three locks of long hair, and no joy or anger on his face, which was really majestic. This person is the Emperor of the Great Qi Emperor Jiang Lie, he heard the military department Shangshu playing, there was still no expression on his face, as if all this was under his control, first looked up, and said: "But to make it clear, is it really the power of Chen Kesheng alone?" Although this Wufu has been a monk for more than ten years, every time this Great Qi Weilie Emperor talks about him, he will still call him by his common name, after all, that identity is not an ordinary person, and he is always vigilant that Chen Kesheng is doing the restoration of the country!
The secretary of the military department at the bottom had not retreated, and when he heard Jiang Lie's question, he also continued to speak: "It is indeed Chen Kesheng alone." ”
"If that's the case, it's a little interesting, but have you ever known why that demon barbarian is a teacher?" Jiang Lie Xu thought of something, a hint of playfulness appeared on his face, and he asked.
"It was said that the princess of the demon clan had entered the human race privately, but there was no news. ”
"It's the princess of his demon clan who caused it again. Jiang Lie snorted coldly, and then spoke, "The matter of Northern Xinjiang is related to the luck of our human race, what countermeasures do you have?"
As soon as Jiang Lie's words came out, the ministers below first looked left and right, and there was a heated discussion, but no one stood up to tell Jiang Lie what he was thinking about.
That's it, the court was noisy for a while, until Jiang Lie seemed to be impatient, and said: "Okay, since all the ministers have no countermeasures, I will send this matter to the Taishi Mansion, and let the Taishi think about it." ”
The Taishi that Jiang Lie said is the well-known Confucian saint Liu Wenjing. If you want to say that today's court, why this imperial master is not here, it is not accidental, but this imperial master has not entered this palace gate for 20 years, if there is any major military affairs that need this imperial master to plan, it is Jiang Lie who sent someone to bring the news to the Taishi's mansion, and then Liu Wenjing sent someone to bring his plan back to the palace. It's a long story to ask why. Liu Wenjing, originally a member of the Dongxia people's family, was born smart, weak and able to speak, and stayed until Changji, that is even more talented, and the export became a chapter, he was already a child at the age of six, and he was a child at the age of nine, and he was a man at the age of twelve, and he was even in the middle of the three yuan at the age of seventeen, and he was the champion, and he married the daughter of Mr. Enlightenment. If there is great joy, nine times out of ten, great compassion is not far away. At this time when Liu Wenjing was watching the flowers and flowers, the prime minister of Dongxia put Liu Wenjing to death because of personal enmity, and overnight, Liu Wenjing changed from the champion to the prisoner, and the family was all killed by the prime minister. Liu Wenjing finally escaped from prison, and when he arrived in Daqi, Mao recommended himself and presented the seven strategies to the Emperor Dade of Daqi that year to destroy Xia, but he was rejected, but he also did the prince and young master, and for another twenty years, the prince Jiang Lie succeeded to the throne, Liu Wenjing became the master of the dynasty, and it was another seven years, the demon invaded, Jiang Lie and used this to attack Nanshu and Dongxia, but Liu Wenjing took the righteousness of the human race as the first, and made a statement to block it, but Jiang Lie insisted on going his own way, and did not send a single soldier to the north of Xinjiang, and sent troops to attack Nanshu and Dongxia. Since then, Liu Wenjing has no longer met with Jiang Lie and no longer attends the daily morning court. In the first year of Tianjiao, the Great Qi was unified, and Liu Wenjing advised to increase the troops in the northern Xinjiang, but Jiang Lie has always ignored it. And this matter seems to have become a bargaining chip between the two of them, just like that, the matter has been shelved for 16 years, and the soldiers and civilians in Beicheng in the north have also lived in fear every day for 16 years. And the scene in the court just now was just a scene between Jiang Lie and the Manchu Dynasty, in order to hand over the matter of Northern Xinjiang to Liu Wenjing, so as to force him to compromise with Jiang Lie. If someone dares to stand up and say a word to increase troops in northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that he will be on Jiang Lie's blacklist, and he will inevitably wear small shoes in the future, and then send him to the local area for two years of training, and then come back after a little eyesight, if he wants to say that he has made any mistakes, he doesn't need anything else, just the "unknown holy will" article is enough for him to drink a pot.
......
The news came as scheduled, looking at the edict on his desk, Liu Wenjing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to, this has been fighting for sixteen years, after all, it was put on a table by you, and it is really better than blue." ”
"Teacher, what's going on?" It was Xu Sheng who spoke, the master and apprentice discussed the knowledge before, but they came down from the palace with an edict, and the person who sent the letter didn't say anything, put down the edict and retreated. And this Liu Wenjing did smile bitterly after reading it, and I don't know what was written on it.
"In the war in Northern Xinjiang, Chen Kesheng alone led Ten Thousand Buddhas to retreat from the enemy by more than 30,000. Liu Wenjing said.
"Isn't this good news?Why did the teacher smile bitterly?" Xu Sheng was full of doubts on his face, and he didn't hide it, and asked directly.
"Huh..... Don't you know, if it weren't for the defeat, how could Chen Kesheng lead thousands of Buddhas to his body and be contaminated with thousands of causes and effects? In this battle, if the northern Xinjiang does not increase its troops, the human race will be in danger!" Liu Wenjing smiled bitterly and opened his mouth to explain.
"Is Your Majesty using this to blackmail the teacher?" Xu Sheng has been in this Taishi Mansion for four years, and he also knows a little about the matter between his teacher and His Majesty today, thinking of this, he asked.
"It's not about coercion, it's just about forcing me to compromise. Liu Wenjing still smiled wryly.
"Compromise?Teacher, is this a compromise with His Majesty?" Xu Sheng also had a little unhappiness in his heart, after living here for four years, Xu Sheng admired his teacher in his heart, whether it was knowledge or personality, it was beyond his reach, but such an old man who had been frank and unrestrained all his life, but he was put on a stand by the most proud disciple he had ever been, no matter what it was, even if it was for the good of his teacher, but Xu Sheng still felt unhappy.
"I don't want to. But what about the soldiers and civilians who set foot in the northern city in the northern frontier? If they compromise, the heart of the division will not be happy. Liu Wenjing slowly closed the edict on the table, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking about something, and it took a long time to open his eyes, and his brows were all stretched, but his eyes were full of firmness.
"Dong'an, in the future, you will be in charge here!" After speaking, he stopped looking at Xu Sheng with a puzzled face, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out slowly.
......
Jiang Lie didn't see Liu Wenjing's compromise in the end, even he never thought that this Confucian saint, who was nearly seventy years old, would pack his luggage and go to the north alone. It was also sent to send a letter, which said: "It has been 16 years since the unification of the Great Qi, but there has never been a single increase in troops in the northern Xinjiang. Fortunately, Chen Kesheng, the god of war, did not remember the hatred of the country and guarded the northern Xinjiang for 16 years, but today, the god of war is exhausted. Your Majesty is interested, knowing that although I am old, I have not yet fallen into the ambition of the clouds, and the old minister received the order to go to the northern frontier. Looking at the letter in his hand, the always decisive Emperor Qi Weilie was also stunned for a while, his face was full of bitterness, and he whispered: "Sixteen years, the teacher is still blaming the students, but what happened back then was really wrong?"
In the winter of the sixteenth year of Tianzhen, Jiang Lie, the emperor of Great Qi Weilie, issued an order to send 100,000 troops to Zhou Huai, the secretary of the military department, to kill the enemy in the northern Xinjiang. But few people know that as early as three days ago, the Confucian saint had gone to northern Xinjiang alone.

A strong man is in his twilight years, and he is old and does not fall into the clouds!
