Luo Youdu waved his hand and asked Qin Han to take him down.
Li Jilong sat upright, as if he were a piece of wood.
"I made you laugh!" Luo Youdu greeted Li Jilong.
Li Jilong hurriedly said "I don't dare", but didn't say anything more. They were all big guys. He, a junior, was in a mess right now. If he was given a chance to make another choice, he would rather knock that fat pig down.
Stop and mix it up.
Luo Youdu said: "You did a good job in this matter, and the follow-up measures were also very serious."
He had already seen that Li Jilong was hiding something from him and planned to resolve the matter privately, but he was not angry, but appreciated it very much.
Being a human being is a science.
Integrity is not a bad thing, but if you don't know how to be flexible, it will often lead to bad things.
As long as Li Jilong's potential can be realized, he is destined to be the leader of Dayu's military in the future. If his heart is not biased towards the military, but blindly pursues notarization, how will he get involved in the army in the future?
If this time he, like Leng Touqing, simply offends Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Xiang Xun, Wang Yan, Wang Shenqi and other military leaders who have worked hard for more than half of the fifth generation, how will Li Jilong grow in the future?
In this war, anything can happen.
If generals do not work together, the consequences will be dire. A single military failure may lead to a major defeat or even death.
For someone as powerful as Xue Rengui, Luo Youdu didn't want to hear lies, but he definitely didn't want the truth to come out of Li Jilong's mouth.
Li Jilong couldn't tell for a moment whether the emperor in front of him was speaking truthfully or ironically, so he could only apologize and laugh at the side.
Your Majesty, Marshals Han Dian and Marshal Shi asked Taiwei and Wang Taishi to apologize outside the palace.
Luo Youdu smiled and said to Li Jilong: "It came so fast!"
Li Jilong hurriedly said: "I will retire first!"
"No need!" Luo Youdu pointed to a seat and said, "Go and wait."
After Li Jilong took the throne, he waved Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yan to enter the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, the four of them knelt down together to plead guilty, as if they had agreed upon it.
There are eight people in total, seven of whom are second-generation generals, and three others including Wang Shenqi are serving in other places. Except for Wei Renpu, everyone has arrived.
Needless to say, Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin were the top figures in the Yu army.
As for Xiang Xun and Wang Yan, they have both retired and become official officials. One is a Taiwei and the other is a Grand Master. They did not have much chance to perform in the Yu Dynasty. However, both of them are veteran generals who worked hard from the Later Han Dynasty to Houyi Dynasty. They are in the army.
Very prestigious in China.
Xiang Xun was known as Conglong in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Shi Shouxin, Han Tong, and Gao Huaide all served under him. Wang Yan has always been in charge of one side and has no close relationship with the army in Beijing. However, before his retirement, he was second only to
Fu Yanqing is a small warlord alongside Wang Jing. Wang Jing is in Qinchuan, and Wang Yan is in Xuzhou. His position in the army is also very important...
Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin are okay.
Xiang Xun and Wang Yan felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts at this moment. Both of them were veterans with five generations of old habits. Xiang Xun was better off, and he was lucky enough to directly embrace Guo Wei's lap.
Wang Yan gained his reputation by robbing homes and killing people. If you think about it, you will know how much innocent people's blood he has stained on his hands to reach his current status.
Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin's ideas can be changed, but people like Xiang Xun and Wang Yan, who have been hanging around like this for most of their lives, can't change their ideas so easily.
In their opinion, what's the big deal about children's playfulness? They had done a lot of massacres in the village in the early years, so how could they cause so much trouble just because of a little playfulness?
However, due to Luo Youdu's current prestige, they did not dare to say anything and could only hold back their dissatisfaction.
Xiang Xun said: "Your Majesty, my grandson is young and immature. It is because I failed to teach him well. The fault lies with me. If you want to punish me, punish me."
He looked like a broken man. Neither his sons Xiang Deming nor Xiang Yu were expected to be successful. His grandsons also had mediocre talents. They relied on their own merits in the past and were waiting to die in unimportant positions.
After all, he had saved more money than he could spend in several lifetimes, so he didn't believe that Luo Youdu would do anything to him because of such a trivial matter.
Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, they just have thick skin.
Luo Youdu really had nothing to do with such a shameless old guy, and said with a smile: "Get up and talk, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so outspoken. I have read the impeachment memorial, it is just a child's nonsense, and it is not considered a crime at all.
thing."
He pointed at Li Jilong with an indifferent expression and said: "This boy has actually made arrangements for An Dang. I gave him a small amount of money and just wanted to see a few little guys sent to your house. Who would have thought that those ministers who were looking for trouble would say several times in a row
The impeachment memorial was delivered to me. You are making a fuss and asking me to give you an explanation... Alas, I am helpless. Although I am the emperor, I cannot act casually based on my preferences."
Li Jilong was moved when he heard this.
Wang Yan cursed angrily: "It's really a dog meddling in other people's business."
Seeing that the four people had already stood up, Luo Youdu continued: "It's just that what the admonishers said is reasonable. It's really not a problem to go to the village at night and use the people's pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to practice sword and arrow skills. I have to give an explanation.
, otherwise those talkative guys will keep spreading the news everywhere. I am not considerate of the people, and will indulge the generals and do whatever they want. You... don’t want to see this happen, right?"
"Don't dare!"
Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yan hurriedly bowed.
Luo Youdu smiled complacently: "The admonishers wanted to punish them severely, but they are all my nephews, so they couldn't bear to punish them severely. So I thought of a clever idea. I thought they were all my good sons and daughters, and they didn't have any bad intentions. That's
There is a lack of places for horse racing and hunting, so we are doing things like this."
When Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yan saw Luo Youdu's excuse, they all found it for them. They repeatedly said yes and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."
Luo Youdu said: "So, I will give them a place where they can have fun and practice horseback riding and archery. It's at the Changshe. I will keep them there for a while and let them play as much as they want and show off their talents. It just so happens that I also want to see it.
Let's take a look at my great Yu'erlang's riding and shooting skills, and see how much of your style they have inherited.
Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yan saw that Luo Youdu was thinking about them in every aspect, and since he was talking about it, it was hard to say anything more. Luo Youdu looked at Li Jilong who was sitting upright beside him and said with a smile:
"This matter is not over yet. The fault is not yours. It all started because of you. You are in the capital and they feel resentful when they see you. It will not be good for your future. I understand your father's intentions. I have always used people without doubt.
No need to be suspicious. When I decided to reuse your father, I didn’t think twice about it. After getting married, I went to Shu to assist your uncle Cao Bin."
Li Jilong was overjoyed when he heard this. Going to Shuzhong would mean he would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Youdu waved his hand and retreated: "Nephew Tyranny... I remember correctly! It's been a long journey, so you go down to rest first, and then come back to the palace tomorrow to study with King Qin for a few days, and be peaceful for a few days. Palace servant,
Send my virtuous nephew out of the palace for me."
Li Jilong was deeply moved, thanked him again and again, bowed and left.
Luo Youdu waited for Li Jilong to leave, read the impeachment memorial again, read it quietly for a long time, and then ordered someone to call Han Xizai.
"Let him go directly to the Wende Hall, and also ask the Shangshi Bureau to prepare some dishes to go with the wine and cook a pot... Du Kang, yes, Master Han likes to drink Dukang, and he wants a vintage one."
Luo Youdu put aside what he was doing and went to Wende Hall, where he changed into casual clothes. A charcoal fire had been set up to burn Du Kang.
Smelling the lingering aroma of grain, Luo Youdu said: "Give me a pot first."
The hot dishes at this fashionable restaurant haven't been served yet, but there are only two cold cuts, one pickled fish and one preserved meat.
Without waiting for Han Xizai, he started eating and drinking the cold dishes.
He ate very quickly, the pot of wine had already reached the bottom, and there was already a stream of wine in his eyes. Han Xizai arrived late, and was a little surprised when he entered the palace to see the king in a drunken state.
This was the first time he saw his lord like this. Thinking about the news he heard in his ears, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"His Majesty!"
Han Xizai was graceful and bowed in salute.
"Ah... it's Shu Yan. You came just in time. Sit down. Sit down quickly and stay with me.
Have a nice drink."
After Han Xizai thanked him, he sat down and saw Luo Youdu repeatedly urging him to drink. He also refused anyone who came. The two of them drank a full bottle of wine without saying a few words.
Han Xizai didn't do much in Jiangnan, but he developed his ability to drink.
Han Xizai drank a pot of wine with him, and then broke the deadlock and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Chen Gou?"
Luo Youdu sighed and said, "Have you heard about Uncle Yan too?"
Chengou is the place where those eight yamen were messing around, and it is also Chenjiagou, the birthplace of Chen-style Tai Chi in the future. Obviously, there are no martial arts masters in Chengou now...
Han Xizai placed the wine cup in his hand heavily on the table in front of him and said angrily: "Everyone knows about such evil deeds. I never imagined that in this peaceful world, there are still people who bully the people like this. It is really abominable and hateful.
"
Luo Youdu said: "Why don't I feel this way? I wish I could demote all these children to common people and let them feel for themselves how abominable their actions are. But I don't dare. I, as the emperor, really take it seriously.
Frustrated."
He was drunk and had some anger in his words.
Upon seeing this, Han Xizai immediately imagined many scenarios. Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Xiang Xun, and Wang Yan were arrogant and joined forces to force the king.
Others might not dare to think too much about it, but Han Xizai has personally experienced how warriors govern the world and how arrogant and domineering they are.
Han Xizai was originally from Beihai and came from a family of officials. His great-grandfather Han Jun served as Taichang Qing; his grandfather Han Yin served as the censor; his father Han Guangsi served as secretary and young eunuch, Ziqing observation envoy, and Pinglu Jiedu deputy envoy.
He himself was the top scorer in high school in his early twenties. If he had been born in a peaceful and prosperous era, it can be said that he had a bright future, but it was a pity that he was in a troubled era when military men were in power.
After Li Cunxu died in the Xingjiaomen Incident, the world was left without a master. Wang Gongyan, the commander of the Pinglu Army in Qingzhou, took advantage of the chaos and killed the supervisor Yang Hope and took control of Qingzhou. He forced Han Xizai's father Han Guangsi to serve as his deputy, and with the help of the Han family's
Prestige appeases Qingzhou.
As a scholar, Han Guangsi had no right to refuse.
After Li Siyuan, Emperor Mingzong of the Tang Dynasty, stabilized the court situation, he issued an order to transfer Wang Gongyan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, to the post of governor of Dengzhou, and also sent Huo Yanwei to move to Qingzhou.
The prince was unwilling to obey, so he made an excuse, saying that he wanted to retain the soldiers.
Huo Yanwei didn't care about that. After arriving in Zizhou, he gathered his troops and forced Wang Gongyan to take office. Then he launched a surprise attack on the way and killed Wang Gongyan.
Originally, the matter could have been settled, but the fifth-generation martial artist had no idea of stopping. He killed the prince and not only killed all the officials appointed by the prince, but also carried out the genocide.
The tragedy of the Han Guangsi clan was that Huo Yanwei had to kill them all. Only Han Xizai did not dare to continue serving as an official in the Later Tang Dynasty, so he fled to the south of the Yangtze River and became the Master Han of the south of the Yangtze River.
How could Han Xizai forget such a hard-earned thing?
Han Xizai, who was well aware of the tyranny of common men in the five generations, immediately felt sympathy and said: "Under your Majesty's wise leadership, the bad habits of the previous dynasty have been eradicated step by step both inside and outside the imperial court. What is left now is just scabies. In my opinion,
, these generals are just throwing tantrums, showing off their tempers, relying on their elders to act like they are old, and they cannot stir up any trouble."
Luo Youdu said: "I naturally know that what I am worried about is not the present, but the future. Judging from the situation, the Chengou incident is very bad. But in general, there were no casualties. If you really want to ask for a crime, it is at best
It's just disturbing the people and lax in discipline. But has Uncle Yan ever thought about why those children chose to be in Chengou?"
Han Xizai said: "It's because Chengou is relatively remote and the people have no way to ask for help." "Yes!" Luo Youdu sighed: "Chengou is just relatively remote. To put it in detail, it still falls under the jurisdiction of Luoyang. Even so, there are already
What if this kind of thing happens in a more remote place? Our territory of Dayu is more than thousands of miles away, so what? There is really no way to heaven and no way to earth. I believe that what happened in Chengou is not an exception. In places farther away,
I don’t know about something far more heinous than Chen Gou.”
Han Xizai remained silent and could only say: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son and is so considerate of the common people. It is really a blessing to all people."
Luo Youdu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It can be solved
This is the blessing of all people."
Han Xizai advised: "Your Majesty, when your manpower will eventually be exhausted, how can everything go as planned? Your Majesty has this idea, which is far better than many wise kings and saints."
Duoyoudu said: "That's what I said, but after all I am wondering if there is a way to restrain these idle generals' disciples so that they can vent their energy and not disturb the people. Just like you scholars, if scholars want to become talented, they must
Spend ten years attending a private school for enlightenment, and then study hard for another ten years. Twenty years later, even if you can't go to high school, you will be an adult, know what's appropriate, and fear the law. It's not like the Chengou farce, created by a group of children who can't tell right from wrong.
farce.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. But if you really develop a habit for them, something will happen sooner or later. But these people don't have to worry about life, they can support themselves by relying on the shadow..."
He does not mean that.
Han Xizai said: "How about forcing them to go to school? If they don't graduate, they won't be able to enjoy the benefits of the court."
