Volume 1 The Newlyweds Chapter 33 The Prince and Taifu
But listen to a rich voice.
Xue Jun Youshun was a well-known man. He was a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform with a wat at his waist. He looked like he had just returned from the palace.
This man has a serious face and regular facial features. He is also a handsome and majestic man. However, there is a deep scar on his right cheek, which makes him look a little intimidating.
"Who are you?" Xue Junyou only recognized official uniforms, and this man's official uniform was still a civilian official, but he didn't recognize the pattern pattern.
The middle-aged man asked people to evacuate the surrounding courtyard, put his hands behind his back, and said with some appreciation on his face: "I am the Grand Tutor of this college, and also the Crown Prince of the current Dynasty, Sikong Qiye."
The Crown Prince and Tutor... .
Xue Junyou threw away the long stick in his hand and immediately bowed in greeting.
Sikong Qiye stretched out his hand to help: "No need to be polite, just come with me and talk."
After saying that, Sikong Qiye took Xue Junyou into his usual study.
In the study hall, the first thing I saw when I entered the door was the sparkling black armor and a three-foot engraved sword.
Xue Junyou was so greedy that he couldn't help but get closer and take a look. It was really a treasure.
"This sword is named Wu'an and was given by Your Majesty." Seeing that Xue Junyou was so concerned, Sikong Qiye stood in front of the desk and said.
Xue Junyou quickly looked away when he heard this, walked towards the bookcase, and asked: "Can Taifu still fight?"
Sikong Qiye seemed to be in a good mood. He raised his tired eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him with a friendly expression, and said: "When I first became the Crown Prince and Tutor, I taught the Crown Prince and the two legitimate princesses their lessons. Since I was the consort of Princess Anyang
, just call me Uncle Shi, and you won’t be at a loss.”
"Uncle Shi." Although he didn't know why this man treated him like this, Xue Junyou still bowed again and shouted happily.
Sikong Qiye smiled, gently agreed, and answered his last question: "I was once the deputy general of Marquis Zhonglie, but now I am not talented. I have become a Taiwei of the imperial court based on the achievements that Marquis Zhonglie led me to achieve."
"So you are the hussar general who defeated the Eastern Liao Dynasty and conquered the Northern Huan, and you are now the Taiwei?" Xue Junyou looked shocked. He had already heard of the great reputation of this Taiwei.
During the Dongming Rebellion, the only general who withdrew from Jieshikou in Dongzhou was General Sikong. In addition to him and a dozen followers, 300,000 soldiers and civilians were massacred by the Ming bandits, including that
Li Cong, a loyal marquis and the great general of the imperial court at that time.
Recalling the memories of that time in Dongzhou in his mind, Xue Junyou said with great admiration: "Uncle Shi is well-deserved. Without you, more counties and cities in Dongzhou would have been slaughtered."
"Oh? Listen to what you said, have you experienced the war that year?" Sikong Qiye looked a little confused, but the young man in front of him didn't look like him. After all, the Dongming Rebellion was twenty years ago.
years.
Only then did Xue Junyou realize that he had said the wrong thing. He had just been born at that time, so he changed his words and said: "I heard what my adoptive grandfather told me. The Xue family picked me up when they were in Dongzhou and told me about the war."
He told me his life story. To tell you the truth, they still hope that one day I can avenge my dead parents and family."
Sikong Qiye looked at the young man in front of him, and thought of the brave and heroic figure of the young man holding a stick just now. It seemed to remind him of the back of Zhonglie Hou standing with a knife. After a while, he nodded warmly and said: "There will be that time
Japanese."
Xue Junyou also nodded and spoke frankly: "To destroy the country of Ming is the wish of all the people in the great entropy."
"Tu Mi? Why do you say that?" Sikong Qiye looked at him and felt that the word Tu Mi was too much to say from the mouth of a young man who had just grown up. He had heard rumors about this boy in the public.
, but I never expected that this boy’s character was too ruthless.
"When the people of Ming State massacred the city, the 300,000 soldiers and civilians could not even put together a complete corpse, and they still took pleasure in killing people in different ways. Such evil neighbors and thieves are not human beings, but beasts. If you want peace for generations to come,
, the only way is to cut off its roots and destroy its clan."
After listening to Xue Junyou's words, Sikong Qiye couldn't help but take a breath. This child is too murderous. If no one guides him, he will definitely do terrible things. But it's no wonder that His Majesty likes it. Such a personality is indeed similar to His Majesty's.
.
"By the way, tell me, why do you want to beat the instructor?" Sikong Qiye asked.
Xue Junyou replied: "Junior has already said that Mr. Xi insulted my family. I couldn't stand being such a corrupt scholar, so I beat him."
Hearing this, Sikong Qiye was confused and asked casually: "Seeing that you have such a strong personality, I thought that if the teacher insulted your family, you would get up and kill him, but I didn't expect that you just wanted to beat him?
"
Xue Junyou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, has his reputation deteriorated to this? Then he responded: "He is innocent and extremely evil, why should I kill him?"
"But he insulted your family, didn't he?"
"Although I have a bad temper, I still understand the law. Besides, I just beat a bully to death not long ago, so I don't dare to do anything that violates the law again."
"Haha, you are quite smart."
"Not smart." Xue Jun replied with a sad smile: "I just gave the princess a face. After being married for so many days, she was very good to me. In fact, I wanted to endure it and not cause trouble for the princess. It's just that the teacher scolded me.
He actually scolded my family, but this is the only thing I can't stand."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sikong Qiye fell silent, a little unsure about this child.
Although he has a strong murderous streak, he is sensible and, more importantly, values friendship. He is also a malleable talent.
After a long while, Sikong Qiye said with deep thoughts: "You need a master who can lead you into the world."
"Become an official?" Xue Junyou thought he heard wrongly, and he was overjoyed, a little too excited, and asked again: "Uncle Shi, can I really become an official?"
Sikong Qiye frowned, feeling that the child's eyes seemed to have suddenly changed. He replied: "Yes, everyone needs to join the world. If you don't join the world, how can you be born in the world. As the saying goes, you must first enter the world before you can understand its ways.
.”
It turns out that this world...
Xue Junyou felt a chill in his heart, but he was overjoyed for nothing. The excitement on his face disappeared, and he replied in a low voice: "This junior is here just to learn."
Although it was unclear why the child was lost again, Sikong Qiye still said to him: "Although Junde College teaches the Six Arts of Virtue, most of the teachers here respect saints and are hostile to businessmen, and some of the lectures are not suitable for you.
, I will come to teach you from now on, you can learn from me every day."
"Following you? The Crown Prince and Tutor...
Xue Junyou was extremely surprised. The Crown Prince taught him personally, so wouldn't he be treated the same as the Crown Prince?
"What? You don't want to." Sikong Qiye looked at the shocked expression of the young man in front of him and asked.
Xue Junyou heard this and immediately nodded: "Yes, yes."
After saying that, Xue Junyou quickly made an apprenticeship ceremony as if he was afraid that the uncle would regret it.
Sikong Qiye nodded and smiled happily. In this way, he had fulfilled His Majesty's instructions to him. Moreover, seeing this young man today inevitably reminded him of the scenes of Marquis Zhonglie.
This child is like a jade in the rough. If it is carefully crafted, it is destined to become a general like Zhongliehou.
Thinking in his mind, Sikong Qiye slowly stood up, walked towards the door, and said worriedly to Xue Jun behind him: "Follow me."
... ... ...
After arriving at a warm pavilion, Sikong Qiye stopped in front of a sand table, and Xue Junyou also stopped behind.
This sand table is usually used for war planning. Xue Junyou took a look and found that the terrain was a bit rugged and the mountains and rivers were complicated, so he looked a little confused.
Sikong Qiye turned to look at the young man in front of him and immediately asked: "I heard that you have been studying with a teacher outside since you were ten years old. How about it? Can you understand where this sand table is?"
Xue Junyou shook his head and said: "I have been practicing martial arts with the Taoist teacher in Menghuaze, Nanzhou. This sand table does not look like Nanzhou."
"Then take a guess." Sikong Qiye looked at him, his serious face showing kindness.
"Dongzhou."
"You're right. But why did you think of Dongzhou all of a sudden?"
"Because when I was in prison, I often heard from a friend that bandits were everywhere in Dongzhou and it was already in a state of chaos."
"Then what do you think we in Gyeonggi should do in this current situation?"
"Uh." Xue Jun replied with a sad smile: "I'm just a businessman. It's a capital crime to discuss government affairs. Uncle Shi, don't you want to kill me?"
Sikong Qiye immediately said: "If I want to kill you, do I still need to use such villainous behavior?"
"That's true."
Xue Junyou still smiled bitterly. Although his words were crude, they seemed to make sense. After all, he was one of the three men. If he wanted to die, there would be plenty of opportunities to let him die. But the most important thing was that there was no reason to let him die, and he had not offended anyone.
.
But then again, he has offended the Fourth Princess. It is hard to say what the relationship between the Captain and the Fourth Princess is.
"Don't worry, I was born in the military. How could I have any conspiracy to bully you, a kid?" Sikong Qiye raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said:
"To tell you the truth, I haven't seen such a vigorous young man like you for a long time. It even reminds me of Marquis Zhonglie back then."
"General Li Cong..." Xue Junyou frowned tightly, feeling a little inferior in his heart, and said: "I am not worthy to be compared with Zhonglie Hou. General Li Cong can rule the country with weapons and bring peace to the country with force.
, all the people in the public praise it.”
"But I hope you can become that kind of person. Your stick skills remind me of Zhonglie Hou galloping on the battlefield. Such a talented person should not be inactive from now on just because of his status." Sikong Qiye said very straightforwardly.
Xue Junyou has also racked his brains to study it, and he can naturally understand the meaning of the words. This is because he wants to cultivate himself into a general, because there is no express rule in the Great Entropy that businessmen are not allowed to be generals.
This is a good thing, because when he returned to the imperial capital, he originally thought so too.
"You are a smart boy, you should be able to understand what I say." Seeing Xue Junyou seem to be hesitant, Sikong Qiye looked into his eyes and said: "If you have the courage of ten thousand men, you should carry three feet of courage with you."
Sword, gallop across the battlefield and achieve unparalleled achievements."
This sentence touched Xue Jun's heart, but he still lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and replied: "But I am the consort, so even if your majesty agrees, then I don't think my princess will agree."
.”
"You underestimate Princess Anyang." Sikong Qiye said with a smile on his face: "But it is really difficult for the princess to accept it suddenly. I just ask you if you want to make contributions to the country. If you do, I will naturally let the princess accept it.
method."
In this case, Xue Junyou naturally had nothing to hesitate, so he readily agreed: "Then I naturally thought that my parents and family were massacred by the Ming people, and I have long wanted to avenge my shame and repay my country."
Sikong Qiye nodded happily, turned his gaze to the sand table again, and said: "Then I won't talk to you about Dongzhou today. I will only talk about the dangerous terrain of this place. Where can we use troops and where can we hide them?"
, these are all basics, and after you understand them all, I will talk about how to defeat the rogue bandits in Dongzhou, or how to break into the county."
"Okay, I'd like to ask Uncle Shi to teach me the art of military use."
Xue Jun was secretly happy in his heart, and even felt an uncontrollable excitement. There was really no way out, and there was a bright future in every village. By some strange combination of circumstances, he was able to directly skip the process of being cannon fodder.
From this point of view, he would like to thank the tutor who insulted him. Without him, he really would not be appreciated by the captain.
But what Xue Junyou didn't know was that for him to be able to do this, the person he should be most grateful for was His Majesty the Emperor who was far away in the palace and was placing him on the chessboard as a chess piece.
