"The battle of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is of great importance."
It is rare for the emperor to come to court today.
This was mentioned as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yang Songcheng said: "Your Majesty, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army is as high as a rainbow, and they are willing to die for your Majesty!"
The emperor was humiliated by the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so this battle must be fought.
Just how to fight and who can gain the greatest benefit from this battle requires everyone to fight.
Yang Songcheng's son-in-law was there, and his grandson was also there. He naturally hoped that this battle could be controlled by the Southern Xinjiang Army.
However, the emperor obviously had other ideas.
"I know the loyalty of the soldiers in Southern Xinjiang, but what is the strength of the Southern Xinjiang army?"
Yang Songcheng said: "They are all brave men."
Chen Shen, the left prime minister, said calmly: "Whether you are brave or not depends on the fight."
"The rebels' arrogance has been knocked down." Yang Songcheng retorted with a smile.
Chen Shen just mentioned this and said no more.
The emperor said: "Today I heard that there was a civil and military gathering between Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang, and both sides were performing martial arts!"
Yang Songcheng knew about this and said after hearing this: "I think it should be over."
The emperor hummed: "They are all my tigers. It doesn't matter which way they turn. This is more appropriate."
Yang Songcheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the most magnanimous."
The emperor sighed: "It is not good to be tolerant in many cases. Let's talk about your child. If you are tolerant to him, he will push his limits and become extremely naughty."
Everyone thought of Jing Wang.
It is rumored that this prince has a tendency to catch up with King Wei in the palace.
Zheng Qi said: "If a child is naughty, it is just for a moment. If you want to teach him a lesson, he will naturally wake up."
"Oh!" The emperor smiled, "In that case, Zheng Qing, would you like to teach that rebellious son for me?"
Zheng Qi was startled, glanced at Yang Songcheng, and said: "I am old and incompetent!"
He is Yang Songcheng's confidant, and that kid Jing Wang is the enemy of the Yue King. He goes to teach Jing Wang. If he teaches well, he will cause trouble to the Yue King. If he doesn't teach well... whatever troubles the King causes in the future, he will be indispensable.
Mr.'s pot.
The emperor looked at him and nodded for a long time, "Zheng Qing is old!"
Zheng Qi's heart trembled.
At this moment, a waiter came outside.
Han Shitou went over to ask questions.
He turned his back to the emperor and his ministers, nodded from time to time, and then turned around.
"His Majesty."
"But the results came out?"
"yes."
"Who wins?"
"General Zuo Wuwei!"
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Are the brave soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army no match for the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei? So, how can I safely allow them to attack Southern Zhou?"
Yang Songcheng was stunned, "Could it be a mistake?"
Yesterday someone reported that Zhang Huan had prepared fifty carefully selected soldiers from southern Xinjiang to deal with today's military performance.
Yang Songcheng thought it was at least a tie.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Wuwei went into battle.
And then, he won!
Han Shitou said: "There is no mistake."
"Who is going to fight?" Yang Songcheng asked with a smile, but he already had General Zuo Wuwei in mind.
"Fifty people led by Zuowu Guards Captain Xie Bing."
"Xie Bing?"
"Yes, Commander Yang trained them briefly."
The emperor said coldly: "If the whole country of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was in an uproar and shared the same hatred of the enemy, tell me, will those Southern Zhou soldiers become elites?"
Then, the grand statement that the Southern Xinjiang Army could attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty alone is just bragging!
How can we talk nonsense about military and national affairs?
The emperor stood up and said, "This battle will be discussed carefully everywhere. I sent the memorial to the palace. I will think about it carefully."
"yes!"
Zhou Zun, who had remained silent, followed everyone out of the hall.
"Shilang Zhou!"
Zhou Zun turned around and said, "Wang Shangshu!"
Wang Douluo smiled and cupped his hands, "Today, your son-in-law is really eye-catching!"
"He's just a hero for a moment." Zhou Zun said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Yang Xuan and my family have some connections."
"oh!"
"When he came to Chang'an from Yuanzhou, he met my brother and stayed with him all the way. My brother was very optimistic about him and recommended him to the Imperial College..."
Isn't it a reward for saving your daughter?
Zhou Zun smiled and did not reveal the topic.
"Then it got out of hand. After arriving in northern Xinjiang, good news came out frequently!"
"It's just luck!"
When faced with praise from outsiders, most elders are humble and secretly happy.
And scold him!
For example, what kind of little brat is ignorant, what kind of little beast is like a blind cat that encounters a dead mouse...
In a word, the harder you scold, the happier you feel!
"I don't understand something."
"Wang Shangshu, please speak."
Wang Douluo's attitude today is very friendly.
"Since your son-in-law saved the imperial concubine, why did he alienate his brother and sister?"
Isn't it the instinct of a poor boy to hug his thighs?
Zhou Zun said: "I also asked him, and he said... A man should do something and not do something!"
Wang Douluo returned to the check-in room, and just in time an old servant came to the house to ask for instructions.
"Today the matchmaker came and gave news to three people. They are all children of aristocratic families and have good knowledge. One of them has some cultivation and said he wants to join the army... Mr. Erlang read it and said he is not worthy of the young lady."
Wang Xian'er has reached the age of seeing each other, and the Wang family's daughter naturally arouses many people's excitement.
In the past, Wang Douluo would most likely disapprove of it, and then just wait and see.
But today he was silent for a long time.
Later, the old servant returned home.
Wang Douxiang asked: "What did the eldest brother say?"
The old servant said:
"Da Langjun said, what a pity that Yuanzhou boy was!"
…
After the martial arts performance, Zhang Huan still entered the palace with his plan to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Interested people are waiting for news.
No, it’s about looking at the time.
If it takes a long time, it means that the emperor's heart is moved.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Huan came out of the palace.
He returned to his residence, summoned his subordinates and civil servants, and said solemnly: "Northern Xinjiang will intervene in this battle!"
…
"Mr. Sir, now, the conflict between the two sides has become more and more irreconcilable." After Liu Qing learned about this result, his first reaction was that the relationship between Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang would take a turn for the worse in the future.
Huang Chunhui smiled.
"Everyone is happy!"
Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang became mortal enemies, and the emperor would wake up laughing in his sleep.
"Your Majesty, you will be very happy."
…
The emperor was not very happy.
The two sons who were in the border area have returned. Even if they have no feelings for them, they still have to make a show of getting together as a family.
After the court meeting, he summoned his two sons.
Their mother also came.
The meal was tasteless, the Queen was indifferent, Concubine Shu only looked at her son, and even the Emperor didn't even look at it.
After the meal, the emperor stood up and said, "You brothers gather more and stay together less, keep drinking!"
Concubine Shu glanced at King Wei worriedly, moved her right hand, and stamped her feet.
The emperor frowned, "What's wrong?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "My concubine's hands and feet are a little numb."
King Wei nodded, and Concubine Shu left with peace of mind.
There were only two brothers left in the palace.
When Han Shitou left, he even took the servants with him.
The hall suddenly seemed extremely empty.
The two tables are very close to each other, and the two people sitting opposite each other are also very close.
"Probably among the brothers, you are the best at pretending. Don't deny it. Aye must also know, but it doesn't matter." King Wei took a sip of wine.
The dishes have not been changed, but the King of Yue barely moved his chopsticks before, so they are still intact.
He put a piece of mutton into his mouth and tasted it carefully, even rudely smashing it in his mouth.
"Second brother."
"Um!"
"I've thought about you."
"I know."
"Why did you go to Taiping that year?"
"What do you think?" King Wei didn't eat much food, he just drank wine.
The King of Yue, however, only ate vegetables and seldom drank alcohol. "No one in Northern Xinjiang will pay attention to you!"
He smiled and said, "Your reputation for cruelty makes them afraid."
"Yes!" King Wei poured himself a glass of wine and muttered: "Why is it not as delicious as the wine from Beijiang? It's too soft!"
The King of Yue felt that he was ridiculing himself and was not angry, "So you went to that small place in Taiping, dreaming that one day you would be able to rise up."
King Wei looked at him and said, "I really got up later."
"You deliberately made friends with Yang Xuan... That man is a great talent, I have to admit this. He is also the biggest anomaly. From a small county magistrate, he climbed to the position of governor, and... today you Do you know about the martial arts performance?"
King Wei shook his head. His information was not as good as that of King Yue.
The King of Yue put down his chopsticks and felt full. "Just before, the civil and military officials from northern and southern Xinjiang gathered at the home of Wei Zhong, the general of Youwuwei. Huang Chunhui and Zhang Huan were both there. They then performed martial arts and had a showdown. Zhang Huan was chosen over there. The fierce soldiers of southern Xinjiang, these are the fifty sergeants of Zuo Wuwei, who do you think will win?"
King Wei asked: "Who is commanding?"
"The southern border is Wang Shu, the northern border is... Yang Xuan."
King Wei drank it all in one gulp, "Northern Xinjiang wins!"
"You have full confidence in him."
"right."
The King of Yue said: "Then Zhang Huan went to the palace and presented the strategy for attacking the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but Aye was noncommittal. In other words, the Northern Territory was involved in this battle."
"Expected things."
"When Yang Xuan was in Chenzhou, he was facing the three major tribes and Tanzhou. One of the three major tribes was destroyed by him. It is said that Tanzhou was not pleased. This shows that this man is good at fighting.
I'm having a hard time in southern Xinjiang and can't find any help, but you're lucky enough to meet such a great talent."
"Finished?"
The King of Yue nodded.
King Wei put down his wine glass and looked up at King Yue.
"Everyone says that I am cruel, but no one knows that if I were not cruel, I would become a pitiful person bullied by everyone in this palace. Therefore, it is not that I am cruel, but these people force me to be cruel.
I went to Northern Xinjiang. The reputation of brutality will not be an obstacle to approaching the civil and military affairs of Northern Xinjiang. Fear is.
They were afraid of Aye's suspicion, so they didn't dare to approach me.
As for going to Taiping County, if I had gone to Tao County at that time, what would Aye think? So I went to Taiping, the most difficult and dangerous place in northern Xinjiang, and the least likely to rebel.
It’s not that I’m stupid, I just want Aye to understand that I don’t have that intention!”
The King of Yue couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, "Are you... pretending to be stupid?"
King Wei pointed to the wine glass. King Yue leaned over and filled the wine glass for him. King Wei drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm never stupid, just because you think I'm cruel, so no one comes close to me. When you were showing off your talent all day long, I beat up those idiots in the palace for my mother's sake. When you were studying with your husband, my husband He was scared and worried that I would beat him up, so he didn’t teach with all his heart.”
King Wei threw the wine glass on the table and said, "What I'm a little confused about is, who has seen me show off my talents over the years? Who has seen me be smart?
I've never seen it before. Where did that stupid reputation come from? He just looked down at me arrogantly and gave birth to a son, that's all, a fool!
The feeling of superiority makes you feel complacent.
As for me, no one was building momentum for me. I was in the palace at that time, and I didn’t dare to let anyone build momentum for me. Otherwise, your mother-in-law, the queen, would definitely have murderous intentions and try every means to kill me, so that your eldest brother, the prince, could be wiped out.
A threat!”
"You... are so sinister!" King Yue's expression changed slightly.
"I'm not sinister, I just followed the way of survival and made those choices. In the palace, my mother and I are like duckweeds, and a wave can drown us. Therefore, I have to keep my head down and show myself
The ferocity."
"I never thought you could hide it so deeply." The King of Yue was really shocked, "No wonder you beat the concubine severely when you came back this time, and Aye still doesn't blame you. It's not that Aye's temper has gotten better, but
It’s because he feels that you are a smart person and know the right things to do.”
"Um!"
"Then why don't you pretend today?"
"I don't want to pretend anymore." King Wei said calmly: "Aye has made it clear that he doesn't like you mother and son, and the crown prince will not be replaced. So, now it is you and me, and maybe others, who are vying for the crown prince's position. I originally wanted to continue
I'm dormant, but on the way to Chang'an, during the reverse journey, my tea was poisoned. Don't rush to deny that it was not your family who did it."
"Indeed not." The King of Yue smiled bitterly.
"Who can think of getting rid of me? Aye? If Aye wants to get rid of me, he doesn't need any such means. All he needs to do is send a servant to Northern Xinjiang. Then who else do you think?"
The king of Yue was silent.
"It's nothing more than your grandfather, your mother..." King Wei raised the wine jar and took a big sip, feeling so happy, "Since you all want to kill me, is it interesting for me to lie dormant?
Since dormancy is boring, why don't I show my intelligence?
Anyway, let you wait and see, it turns out that the queen's son is nothing more than this.
It turns out that the so-called maid’s ability to give birth to a son is a hundred times better than yours. If you hadn’t relied on the noble family, how could you possibly be as good as me?”
The King of Yue smiled and said: "Many times, we don't know the outcome until the end."
"Yes!" King Wei said: "You have been insidious and pretentious since you were a child. To be honest, I can't stand it. But other people have nothing to do with me. Now that you regard me as an enemy you want to get rid of,
Then, let us see who can win in the end."
The King of Yue was suddenly startled, "You slapped me on purpose when we were outside Chang'an City."
"Aren't you just counting on this to throw dirty water on me? In this case, I will naturally give you a slap in the face."
King Wei stood up and said, "Eat slowly."
The King of Yue sat there, watching him walk out the door, and said: "You suddenly changed your appearance today, is it because you were poisoned on the road? But you have experienced those things over the years, right? Why did it happen today?"
King Wei stopped and said without looking back: "The prince will be given up without giving up. Aye doesn't like your family. So, who is this prince? If I don't show up, the opportunity will fall by the wayside."
"That's it, hahahaha!"
The conversation between the two brothers was transmitted to the emperor verbatim.
Han Shitou looked at the emperor listening and sneered in his heart.
The emperor said calmly: "I have always known that the traitor is not stupid and has good methods. He also knows that I know this, so he tested me when he returned this time and wanted to take his mother to Northern Xinjiang. If I agree, then it is
It implies that he cannot enter the East Palace. I will not allow it..."
But it's not because you value King Wei, but because...
"There must be someone holding my hand to feel at ease!"
