The turmoil in the palace gradually calmed down. Except for Prince Chun Li Chengye, everyone in the palace gradually became peaceful.? ?
What Prince Chun had planned was in vain overnight. Prince Chun was running around to deal with the aftermath these days. He was extremely angry. His face was as dark as water all day long. Everyone in the palace did not dare to express their anger for fear of adding fuel to the fire and causing anger.
Prince Chun.
Li Luo rescued Duanmu Shenzhou for Luo Er's promise. Although he had no regrets, he was really worried. If Duanmu Shenzhou was found out by the guards in the palace, Qiuji would not be spared.
On this day, Prince Chun had a rare meal in the palace. During the dinner, all the princesses were as silent as a cicada, and they really didn't know how to taste the meal.
Among the concubines, Concubine Xuan was outspoken by nature, and such a boring banquet was really not to her liking. If Prince Chun hadn't been there, she would have gone elsewhere after the meal.
Seeing that the hall was quite dull, Prince Chun asked calmly: "Lou'er, what books have you been reading recently?"
From time to time, Prince Chun would take a test on Li Luo to see if Li Luo had made any progress. Li Luo was the only male heir of Prince Chun and would inherit the throne of Prince Chun in the future. Everyone was staring at Li Luo, even the several elegant princesses.
He turned his attention to see how this talented young prince answered today.
"Back to my father, Lou'er is reading some ancient military books." Li Luo stood up and replied respectfully.
"Okay." Prince Chun gave a long laugh, "A man should protect his family and his country. Only then will he be worthy of being my son, Li Chengye. Tell me."
"What is written in the Military Book is the method for generals."
"Oh," Prince Chun leaned forward and showed a slight interest, "continue."
Li Luo pondered slightly and replied: "The one who is the general civil and military officer is the general of the army. The one who is both strong and soft is the commander of the army. When ordinary people talk about generals, they often focus on bravery. The courage of a general is only a fraction of an ear. Husband.
A brave man must combine lightly, and combine lightly without knowing the benefits; it is not possible. Therefore, there are five things to be careful about: the first is principle, the second is preparation, the third is fruit, the fourth is precepts, and the fifth is covenant. Those who are rational should govern the people as they govern.
If you are few and prepared, go out as if you are seeing an enemy. If you are afraid, you will not be prepared for the enemy. If you are wary, you will be defeated as if you were fighting at the beginning. If you make a promise, the laws will be spared but not troublesome. If you are ordered to do so, you will not say goodbye to the enemy. If you break the enemy, you will return and treat him with courtesy.
Also. Therefore, on the day when the master comes out, there will be glory in death but no disgrace in life. This is the general."
"Yes." Prince Chun nodded and continued to ask: "What is a good general?"
"Every soldier has four mechanisms: the first is the Qi mechanism, the second is the Earth mechanism, the third is the event mechanism, and the fourth is the force mechanism. The three armies, millions of divisions, set up a small number of people and rely on one person, this is called the Qi mechanism. The way.
Narrow roads and dangerous roads, famous mountains and fortresses, guarded by scholars, but a thousand men can't defeat them, are called local secrets. Good spies and light troops come and go to disperse the masses, causing the monarchs and ministers to resent each other and blame each other.
, A collection of boats and oars, soldiers practicing fighting, and horses galloping, this is called force and machine. Knowing these four, one can be a general. However, his majesty, virtue, benevolence, and courage will be enough to lead his troops to calm the people and frighten the enemy.
He is decisive in giving orders and does not dare to violate them, and the invaders where he is located do not dare to attack him. The country he gains is strong, and the country he loses is destroyed. This is called a good general."
Prince Chun nodded and said: "Although the words are good, they are mostly words from books. You must know that the art of war is ever-changing. The things in this military book are good, but you must use them flexibly to become a general."
Li Luo said yes, and everyone at the table saw that Prince Chun was in a better mood, so they dared to speak.
"Lou'er, from now on, stay with your mother and serve as a peace officer. Don't fight or kill. How can you be so relieved for your mother?" Luo Shi said quickly.
"It would be a pity for Lou'er's civil and military talents to be a peace officer." Concubine Xia said with a hint of jealousy. Although she also gave birth to a son for Prince Chun, it was a pity that he was a daughter and could not be as valuable as Luo's mother.
After hearing this, Luo Shi was slightly unhappy, frowned and said, "For those of you who shouted to fight and kill, I don't think Lou'er will learn martial arts anymore and just practice writing with peace of mind." Luo Shi paused and said, "I will move the martial arts field another day.
Stay away from the palace."
Li Luo didn't respond. Prince Chun shook his head and ignored him.
"Any other insights?" Prince Chun said as he took a sip of tea.
"Being a general is responsible for both civil and military affairs, and determines life and death. When marching and fighting, troops should be dispatched when necessary, and supplemented by virtue, benevolence, and courage, only then can a victorious army be formed."
"Haha, okay, I am quite knowledgeable at such a young age." Prince Chun laughed.
Seeing that Prince Chun was happy, Luo also joked: "My lord, I wonder if you had this opinion when you were a child?"
Prince Chun said proudly: "I still had this ability when I was a child, otherwise how could I have become a famous general."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the princesses laughed. Prince Chun coughed several times, and several concubines and concubines quickly stopped laughing.
"Hehe, I haven't seen the prince's ability in leading troops, but I am really good at looking for flowers and butterflies, isn't it, Sister Lan." Concubine Xuan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Prince Chun blushed slightly and shook his head without saying a word. However, Prince Chun always doted on Concubine Xuan, so he did not scold her for teasing her like this.
When Concubine Lan saw everyone looking at her, her face turned red and she looked even more charming. She complained to Concubine Xuan: "Sister Xuan is talking nonsense. How do I know about the prince's... Lou'er also has these abilities, so don't talk nonsense."
Concubine Xuan didn't take it seriously and smiled coquettishly. Luo frowned and scolded: "Concubine Xuan, the prince and Lou'er are here. You have to pay attention to the words you speak and don't let them fall into the ears of outsiders. It's bad.
The prince’s reputation.”
Prince Chun was not angry either. He straightened his tone and said: "Most of these ancient military books come from the military. Many of the people who wrote them hold important positions in the military. Among them are some victorious generals. Naturally, they have their own reasons and merits.
, but the military book is just a book, not an actual way to lead troops. If you want to become a famous general, you must remember one thing. The book shows the words, which is already dead, while the soldiers and generals are all alive. Qi and things.
Li, ground and force are indispensable. Among them, you can grasp the Qi, and you can become a famous general. If you can understand the situation, you can become a great general who can win every battle."
After saying these words, Luo looked at Prince Chun with admiration. Concubine Xuan smiled, showing a rare dignity, and Concubine Lan also nodded approvingly.
Prince Chun was chatting about sex and said leisurely: "I served my father for half my life, but I can only become a famous general. As for this divine general, Lou'er, it depends on whether you can fulfill this wish for me in the future."
"Does our Dagan Dynasty have any divine generals?" Several concubines asked in confusion.
"There are some divine generals in the Dagan Dynasty. Taizu Li Xia raised an army in Youzhou to conquer the remnant merchants. He defeated ten generals and showed their strategies to conquer the world of Dagan. One of the ten generals, Longhou Di Sining,
But he deserves the name of this god general. Longhou has never been defeated in hundreds of battles in his life. He expected the enemy to be the first to defeat him, and he led millions of troops as one man. What's more, he was humble and polite. The late emperor offered him the position of Longhou, but he declined it many times.
, not greedy for fame and fortune. Later, the late emperor personally paid homage to General Di, and then he accepted the title of Longhou. After the world was peaceful, Longhou handed over the military power, and only took the post of Taibao to assist the late emperor in governing the world. He could do this
Such people are really very human, and this has preserved the prosperity and wealth of the Di family for hundreds of years. The current envoy Di Jie of the Western Expedition is the descendant of Longhou, but his descendants are far less than Longhou back then, and at best they can only benefit from it.
He should be on the side of a famous general. Even if he is a little worse than me, if he wants to become a divine general, he may never even think about it in this life."
Li Luo listened quietly and suddenly interjected: "Xuanlou thought there was more to a general than what was mentioned in the military book."
When everyone was silent, Prince Chun looked at Li Luo with great interest. Li Luo had been in a low mood these days. Prince Chun was actually a little dissatisfied. He thought Li Luo was a kindhearted woman. At this time, he saw that Li Luo had other opinions. Lao Huai
He was greatly comforted and encouraged: "You said, it doesn't matter if you are wrong."
"Everything in the world has a way, and a general should also have a way. The military books only talk about how to become a general, and how to win as a general. Strategy and courage are indispensable, but the way to be a general is missing."
"How to say?"
"People in the world pay more attention to success and failure, and less talk about right and wrong. One general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither, but they don't know that there is heaven's way above the general's way. If you act against heaven, even if you can become a god general, it will be nothing more than a passing cloud."
Everyone was startled. Li Luo's words were a bit treacherous. Seeing that Prince Chun's face seemed a little unhappy, Concubine Lan quickly added: "Lou'er is still young and doesn't quite understand the dangers of the world. It would be better if he were older.
Already."
Prince Chun's face softened slightly and he said nothing more. Li Luo fell silent. Several concubines chatted and gossiped, and for some reason they mentioned the assassination of the palace. Luo was very angry at the presence of internal collaborators in the palace. From time to time, he scolded these people for repaying kindness with evil intentions.
Prince Chun was also very angry. He alluded to Luo'er in his speech and asked everyone to take care of the maids and servants in his room.
Li Luoben just listened boringly, but helplessly, several concubines, concubines, and concubines kept echoing the rumors. Li Luoben couldn't bear it anymore, so after Concubine Xia finished speaking, he said: "Mother, aunt, today's matter must be decided."
There are causes in the future, and if you just talk about today’s events without blaming the causes in the future, I’m afraid this kind of thing will happen again in the future.”
"Lou'er, how could you say that!" Luo Shi screamed.
"Lou'er, be careful what you say." Concubine Lan interrupted.
Li Luo shook his head and said tiredly: "The ancients also said that everything happens for a reason. It would be easier to just talk about success or failure in the past few days."
Prince Chun laughed loudly and said: "Success and failure are right and wrong. If you ask me, how do you judge success or failure?"
Li Luo had no fear on his face, looked at Prince Chun and said, "It's okay to just talk about success or failure."
"Say." Prince Chun said harshly.
"Although the seven states in the south have been rich since ancient times, their people are not good at fighting, let alone fight for a long time. The military strength of Dagan is ten times that of the south. If you want to suppress the rebellion, you can achieve success in a single battle by sending your army down. However, although the tribes in the south are gradually alienating
, but on the surface they are still the people of Dagan. If they want to use force, they must show off their troops, but it is a pity that the success falls short. On the contrary, it boosts the morale of the southern tribes and exposes Dagan's strategy. The southern tribes will definitely take more precautions.
And I, Da Gan, will never have the chance to make a surprise attack unless I bring in an unknown master. However, there are many Confucian scholars in the court, and these proposals will probably be spread without success. It is really thanks to countless beauties and treasures.
If Da Gan wants to advance again, if he still cares about his reputation, he can only do so after the southern tribes have established themselves."
Prince Chun's eyes flashed sharply, and he said coldly: "Do you know that the assassin is related to the seven states of Nanfu?"
Li Luo was angry and said stubbornly: "Zhuocheng is full of troubles, and everyone is talking about this in the streets. I don't know, I am just stupid."
"As you said, there are internal agents from the southern rebel clan in the Dagan court?" Prince Chun saw the expression on Li Luo's face and smiled dumbly, "I'm stupid for asking."
Li Luo's eyelids twitched after hearing this, but he said nothing.
"What would you do if it were you?"
Li Luo no longer had any scruples and said bluntly: "Now that the border is unstable, Da Gan's worries lie with the northwest two prefectures, not the south prefecture. Let's first pacify the border with the west prefecture, and then consider sending troops south. If we start the war in the south prefecture lightly now,
The foreign tribes in the Western Xinjiang will definitely send troops at the same time to strengthen the momentum of the Southern Prefecture, and Dagan will have to deal with the rumors. But if the opposite is done, the Southern tribes may not have the courage to start a war first. If the Western Prefecture has been decided, as for the
There are no excuses for the seven states of Nanfu, so they will fight as soon as possible, and it is up to the court to say whatever they want."
"Okay, okay, what a victory or defeat. Yes, my prince's plan for many years has failed, and the rebel tribes in the south have become more disloyal. It seems to be the failure of this prince, the Taibao minister." After saying this, Prince Chun placed the tea cup heavily on the
Everyone on the table jumped in shock. Except for their heavy breathing, even Concubine Xuan, who was jumping away, remained silent.
On the other hand, Li Luo was unusually calm. He looked at Prince Chun and said, "Father, Nanfu is really not in danger. The only thing we can worry about is why Nanfu will do it instead."
"Okay," before Li Luo could finish, Li Chengye interrupted, "Let's talk about right and wrong."
Li Luo opened his mouth to speak, then stopped talking and fell silent sadly.
"That's right, he is my son, Li Chengye. If you don't tell me, I will tell you that my fault lies with Chang Lin. The second fault lies with that maid. Very good. I have not been like this at your age.
knowledge.”
Li Luo's small body was shaken, and he pursed his lips without saying a word. Li Chengye no longer looked at Li Luo, but turned to everyone and said: "What I said today is not allowed to be discussed in the house. If someone accidentally spreads it, I will definitely
No mercy!" After saying that, he left Caiyaxuan.
Li Luo sat blankly, feeling empty, as if something suddenly disappeared from his heart. In his ears, he heard Luo Shi anxiously shouting "Prince". Then he looked at the eyes of everyone in the hall, Luo Shi's reproach, and Concubine Lan's surprise.
, Concubine Xia's secret joy, Concubine Xuan's curiosity, Li Luo felt like the world was spinning for a moment, and he held on to the back of the chair tightly to keep from sitting down.
It turns out that this is Prince Chun's palace, and these are the people and things that the father cares about. People like Luoer, no one will ever think about what they are thinking.
Concubine Xuan came over, looked at Li Luo strangely, and said, "Why do you think so?"
Li Luo looked up at Luo Shi blankly, then looked at Concubine Lan, and said, "Mother, aunt, did I say something wrong?"
Concubine Lan bent down and said softly: "Stop thinking about it. Your father will not be angry with you, but don't mention what you said today again. You will understand some things when you grow up."
Li Luo suddenly felt exhausted, his vision went dark, and he couldn't help but fell down.
Li Luo was sick and had to lie down for three whole days. Su Xue took care of Li Luo without undressing for three days. After three days, Li Luo was able to get out of bed and move around a little. Looking at Su Xue who was emaciated, Li Luo grabbed Su Xue's hand.
Xue Yixiu said: "I'm sorry for you."
Su Xueji smiled and said nothing. She gently opened her sleeves and fed Li Luo something to eat.
Li Luo then said, "There are a lot of things going on in the house these days. You can't live well even when you come to Qingxin Tower. It's my fault."
Su Xue smiled softly and replied: "Master, don't worry about some things after they have passed. You are still young and have such heavy thoughts. I'm afraid you will be affected in the future."
"Well, I'll remember it. You can go down and rest first." Li Luo said with a forced smile.
Su Xue suddenly felt that she did not speak like a servant, but rather like a sister lecturing her younger brother. She hurriedly bowed and left in a hurry.
After Su Xue came out of the house, Li Luo slowly sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the pale face in the mirror, and laughed at himself: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't want to be thinner than a yellow flower." He stretched out his hand to brush his temples, but he was already there.
