Chapter 222: The Rape You Qingnen and the Eunuch Has Appeared
Xu Xun's interest in Yan Peng was due to his reputation in later generations, while Zhan Ruoshui and Wang Shouren were just the opposite. They were more interested in what he had said before, which had caused those disciples to attack in groups.
At this moment, Yan Song did not speak immediately, but pondered for a while before raising his head.
He knew that the three people opposite him, whether they were Wang Shouren who had already entered the official position, Xu Xun, the crown prince of Xing'an Bo who was said to be a close confidant of the prince, or Zhan Ruoshui, whose name was already known to many big shots even though he had not passed the exam, were not like him.
The two poverty-stricken cases were comparable, but he only felt an indescribable impulse aroused in his heart.
"It is not a bad thing that the current prince is fond of martial arts. He loves martial arts and loves soldiers. From now on, he will be able to know the sufferings of the people at the border and the changeable military affairs. If he can understand the enemy's and our terrain, at least he will not be deceived by the impostors. And the closest place to the capital in front of Mongolia is only a few hundred meters away.
Here, if anything happens, it will become the first line of defense in the north at any time. If the king of a country does not know how to fight tomorrow, and a hero emerges in Mongolia, what will happen then? Besides..."
Yan Song said all this in one breath because Xu Xun and Wang Shouren had different identities than others. So he only paused for a moment and then said word by word: "Besides, I am going to drive the Tartars from the world; Taizong is also
It was to resist the Tartars who moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. It was for the emperor to guard the country and to warn future generations not to forget about military affairs. Xuanmiao not only conquered the north from Taizong, but also personally conquered the rebellion of the Han common people.
He even led troops to patrol the north. How could such a dignified ancestral teaching be abandoned because of the changes in the civil fort during the Yingmiao period? Therefore, it is an overreach and is definitely not a blessing to the world!"
"Master Yan is full of energy after all. What you said is actually the same as what Wang Bo'an just said." Seeing Wang Shouren's behavior, Zhan Ruoshui obviously agreed with these words, but he smiled and said, "I don't agree with those bosses who overcorrect, but the group
What I worry about is not that the prince trains troops, but that the prince is a good soldier. Good soldiers can easily be instigated by people with ulterior motives, and if troops are used rashly, even if there is a temporary gain, it is difficult to maintain long-term peace. Therefore, it is okay to train troops, but be careful in using troops."
"You can train your troops well, but be careful when using them!"
Xu Xun was not a militant who only thought about fighting. When he heard this, his eyes brightened up. He personally poured a glass of wine for Zhan Ruoshui and then offered a toast himself. When Zhan Ruoshui drank it all, he nodded and said
: "There is an old saying that it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a while to use it. This means that you should train your troops diligently, and it also means you should use your troops carefully. If you want to hit someone, you have to hit someone hard enough to hurt it. Otherwise, a punch that doesn't hurt or itch can only hurt someone.
If people fail to remember the lesson and come back next time, it will be the people at the border who suffer."
"So, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used troops aggressively against the Xiongnu several times, which made the Han Dynasty's long-standing enemy the Xiongnu collapse. However, the hardship among the people is also an indisputable fact. The degree of military use has always been the most difficult to control."
Yan Song saw that Xu Xun only praised Zhan Ruoshui but didn't seem to take it to heart. Although he was not surprised, he still felt depressed and drank two cups without saying a word. He
He had drank a lot before, and the wine Xu Xun ordered was soft in the mouth but strong in stamina. However, after chatting and joking for a while, he lay down on the table unknowingly. Seeing this scene, Wang Shouren wanted to turn around.
We had to continue training tomorrow, and it was getting late, so we simply stood up.
"Brother Xu, it's already this time. Why don't we leave now? I'll give him a ride at Yuan Ming's place. Yan Song will trouble you to give him a ride. He looks very drunk. He has already passed the exam like me. He failed in two subjects. I think he got the exam overnight in those days. After that, he was ridiculed by his fellow villagers for failing to pass in the exams many times, so he felt even more sad. It is not suitable for him to go back tonight, so why not find another inn to stay."
"Okay, leave him to me!"
Seeing the tired look on Zhan Ruoshui's face, Xu Xun knew that the nine-day examination room was really difficult, so he said goodbye to Wang Zhan and the others. When they went out, he saw Yan Song still lying on the table and didn't know who was going on. He sat down thoughtfully.
"Yan Song, I guess you haven't finished what you just said?"
Xu Xun just casually mentioned that he would give it a try, but he was not really sure that Yan Song was not drunk. However, as soon as he said this, he saw the man lying on the table gradually straighten up and shake his head vigorously. , couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
Sure enough, Yan Song picked up the half-cup of wine left in front of him and drank it down in one gulp. He said, "I haven't finished yet. In all the dynasties and dynasties in history, the founding kings were all emperors, who opened up territories and expanded their territories." , can often cope with foreign enemies with ease, but successive generations of kings, not to mention foreign enemies, even the clowns in the country will often cause chaos after a few jumps. It is because they are good at the hands of women in the deep palace, and have been controlled by those mature and prudent people since childhood. Instilled by the people, plus the famous generals are adjusted to zero, and the soldiers are lax, a small spark will turn into a prairie fire. The prince can calculate that he will gain the world in one day, but most likely he will lose the world immediately, whether it is a vassal or a civil war. , or even foreign enemies... If the emperor knew his troops, why would he be like this?"
"Yan Song, you missed one person. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a reputation for bravery when he was king, and he had many famous generals under his command. However, Sui Jing II died. Although he was determined to eradicate the family, the inducement was He conquered Goguryeo three times." When he said this, Yan Song was stunned for a moment, and Xu Xun just smiled and said, "Your strength is not in military strategy, so there is no need to force it because of the current situation." Seeing Yan Peng's face suddenly turned bright. Blushing, he slowly spoke again: "I know you failed in two subjects, and you have high hopes for this subject, but also feel that there is little hope. This is natural. People who fail too many times will worry about gains and losses, but you are not talentless. You don't have to be like this. As for whether the prince's love for martial arts is good or bad, for you now, it's better not to talk about it. It should be noted that most of the elders in the court looked at the avant-garde of the army training, and most of them disapproved of it. Whether it is the general examination or the palace examination, most of the decisions are made by these elders. If your article is brilliant, but you offend them because of these remarks, do you think you are putting the cart before the horse?"
As an adult who broke out from the cracks in the great turmoil in Jinling when he first arrived, and then thrived in the capital, Xu Xun knew very well how many opportunities and coincidences he had been blessed with, and how lucky he was to be where he was now, so he I can understand how Yan Song is feeling now, so he sent him out with some encouragement.
"There is a poem by the poet Li Taibai that I like very much. I am born with talents and will be able to come back after all the money I have spent. For things like the imperial examination, don't believe in the idea that you can do it all at once, then fail again, and then you will be exhausted. Today's Wang Bo'an is also on the gold medal list three times. The one who signed the title, you were able to win the championship without being defeated because you fought through countless people, so you must not lose your spirit now!"
Although Xu Xun was much younger than him, Yan Song felt excited as he listened to these high-pitched words at this moment. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Xun and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the advice!
If Jinke is really lucky enough to pass the exam, Yan Song will not dare to forget today’s teachings!”
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Xun hired a car to take Yan Song off, but he stood there for a long time, watching the car disappear from sight, and then looked away, feeling very funny in his heart.
Whether it is Liu Jin or Yan Song, before it became a trend now, it is much easier to deal with cunning and cunning than with those bosses who are difficult to deal with! This is the benefit of foresight!
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder. When he turned around, his eyes immediately widened.
Seeing his surprise, the man laughed and said, "Why, you didn't expect it to be me? The young Marquis sent me out to look for you, but I ran outside the Anding Gate and said that you and Wang Shouren came to Gongyuan together. Fortunately, I came to Gongyuan.
I'm smart, and I found your whereabouts after searching in several restaurants. I said Brother Xu, you are too courageous, how dare a few people discuss the success and failure of success and failure in a place where the wind is leaking from all sides?"
Liu Jin confessed that he had been listening to his own corner before, and Xu Xun suddenly became angry: "At that time, it was too late for the candidates to raise their glasses to celebrate the end of the examination. How many people would prick up their ears and listen to this?"
"Maybe, your market is going up now. Even if the people in Beizhen Fusi are friendly to you, Dongchang might be keeping an eye on you. I know that old guy Wang Yue best. He won't keep an eye on the civil servants.
, just staring at the people close to His Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Jin looked around as he spoke, as if people from Dongchang were around, and whispered, "This is not the place to talk, let's go first!"
When Liu Jin comes out alone, he will naturally not ride in a car, but on a horse. Middle-ranking officials often ride horses to various mansions. He is not a big man like Xiao Jing who is allowed to sit on a stool, so his equestrian skills are quite good. This time
Er and Xu Xun walked out of Suimofang Hutong in front of Gongyuan Street together. He led the way in a familiar manner, only walking through those remote small alleys. In the end, he led Xu Xun into a small courtyard. He threw the reins to the greeter.
When the little boy came out, he turned to look at Xu Xun and grinned.
"I have been in the palace for decades before I have such a small courtyard. Don't laugh at me as a rich man like you."
It turned out that Liu Jin took her back home!
Xu Xun was shocked. He followed Liu Jin all the way in. He walked into the main room and looked around and said with a smile: "What's there to laugh at? Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. If the courtyard is large and the population is large, there will be more people with ulterior motives. It's really nothing."
Good thing. I'm not afraid of your jokes. In order to keep the family clean, my father and I used both hard and soft tactics, and we don't know how many methods we used."
"Yes, a small family has the benefits of a small family." Liu Jin was happy when she heard what Xu Xun said. After sitting down, she asked Xiao Yao'er to come up and make tea, then waved her hand and drove the person out, then looked at Xu Xun and said
, "Zhang Yong, that boy must have persuaded you? He whispered in front of His Highness several times, but after he persuaded His Highness to send you to follow the expedition, he thought about getting a position with you to oversee the army and make a fortune.
Lao. It’s not that our family is talking about him. If Wang Shouren hadn’t invited himself to Xiyuan to watch from the beginning, he would have come over when you were training troops! This kid is very slippery!"
Xu Xun was a little confused by what Liu Jin said. He hesitated for a moment and asked: "What do you mean, Old Liu..."
