retaliate

Chapter 418

"The battle of the Southern Zhou Dynasty has a lot to do with it."

It is rare for the emperor to come to court today.

Mentioned it right from the start.

Yang Songcheng said: "Your Majesty, the morale of the generals of the Southern Border Army is like a rainbow, and they are willing to die for His Majesty!"

The emperor was humiliated by the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and this battle must be fought.

It's just how to fight, who can get the most benefit from this battle, this requires everyone to fight.

Yang Songcheng's son-in-law was there, and his grandson was there, so he naturally hoped that this battle would be controlled by the Southern Border Army.

However, the emperor obviously had other ideas.

"I know the loyalty of the Southern Border soldiers, but what is the strength of the Southern Border Army?"

Yang Songcheng said: "They are all brave men."

Left Chancellor Chen Shen said calmly: "Whether you are brave or not depends on the fight."

"The arrogance of the rebels has been suppressed." Yang Songcheng retorted with a smile.

Chen Shen just mentioned this sentence and stopped talking.

The emperor said: "Today I heard that the civil and military gatherings of Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang will be held, and both sides will perform martial arts!"

Knowing this, Yang Songcheng said, "I think it should be over."

The emperor hummed: "They are all my tigers, and it's not good to lean towards any side. So, it's also suitable."

Yang Songcheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the most magnanimous."

The emperor sighed: "It's not good to be magnanimous sometimes. Let's just say, my child, if you are lenient to him, he will take an inch and become stubborn."

Everyone thought of King Jing.

It is rumored that this prince has a tendency to catch up with King Wei in the palace.

Zheng Qi said: "The child is naughty, it's just for a while, if you want to teach it well, you will naturally wake up."

"Oh!" the emperor smiled, "So, Zheng Qing is willing to teach that rebellious son for me?"

Zheng Qi was startled, glanced at Yang Songcheng, and said, "Boss Chen is incompetent!"

He is Yang Songcheng's confidant, and that brat King Jing is the enemy of King Yue.He went to teach King Jing. If he taught King Jing well, he would cause trouble for King Yue.

The emperor looked at him and nodded for a long time, "Zheng Qing is getting old!"

Zheng Qi's heart trembled.

At this moment, a servant came outside.

Han Shitou went to ask questions.

He turned his back to the monarch, nodded from time to time, and then turned around.

"His Majesty."

"But the result?"

"Yes."

"Who wins?"

"Left Wuwei generals!"

The emperor took a deep breath, "Did the soldiers of the Southern Border Army lose to the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei? So, how can I rest assured that they will attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty?"

Yang Songcheng was stunned, "Could it be a mistake?"

Someone reported yesterday that Zhang Huan had prepared fifty carefully selected soldiers from southern Xinjiang to deal with today's martial arts performance.

Yang Songcheng thought it was at least a tie.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Wuwei played.

And then, win!

Han Shitou said: "It's not a mistake."

"Who is going to fight?" Yang Songcheng asked with a smile, but he had already remembered General Zuo Wuwei in his heart.

"Fifty people led by Captain Zuo Wuwei Xie Bing."

"Xie Bing?"

"Yes, Shijun Yang trained them briefly."

The emperor said coldly: "If the whole country in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was boiling with the same hatred, tell me, will those soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty become elites?"

Then, the rhetoric that the Southern Border Army alone can attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty is bragging!
How can you talk nonsense about military affairs!

The emperor got up, "This battle, no matter how easy it is to discuss it everywhere, I sent the memorial to the palace, and I will think about it carefully."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zun, who had been silent all this time, followed the crowd out of the hall.

"Servant Zhou!"

Zhou Zun turned around, "Wang Shangshu!"

Wang Douluo smiled and cupped his hands, "Your son-in-law is really eye-catching today!"

"It's just a hero for a while." Zhou Zun said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Yang Xuan has some relationship with my family."

"Oh!"

"When he came to Chang'an from Yuanzhou, he met my brother on the way and stayed with him all the way. My brother was quite optimistic about him, so he recommended him to enter the Imperial College..."

Isn't it the reward for saving your daughter?

Zhou Zun smiled, and didn't bother to reveal the topic.

"Afterwards, it got out of control. After arriving in northern Xinjiang, the good news is really frequent!"

"That's luck!"

Facing the praise of outsiders, the elders are mostly humble while feeling secretly refreshed.

And to scold!

For example, what kind of brat is ignorant, what kind of bastard is a blind cat who meets a dead mouse...

In a word, the harder you scold, the happier you feel!
"The old man is puzzled by one thing."

"Wang Shangshu, please tell me."

Wang Douluo's attitude today is very friendly.

"Since the son-in-law saved the imperial concubine, why did he alienate their brothers and sisters?"

Isn't it the instinct of poor boys to hug their thighs?

Zhou Zun said: "The old man also asked him, and he said... a man should do something and not do something!"

Wang Douluo returned to the guard house, just as the old servant came to ask for instructions.

"The matchmaker came today and gave information to three of them. They are all from aristocratic families with decent knowledge. One of them has cultivation and said that he wants to join the army... Mr. Erlang read it and said that he is not good enough for the young lady."

Wang Xian'er has reached the age to see each other, and the daughter of the Wang family naturally caused a lot of restlessness.

In the past, Wang Douluo would most likely not take it seriously, 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 do you say, brother?"

The old servant said:

"Mr. Da Lang said, it's a pity for that Yuanzhou boy back then!"

……

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 the news.

No, it's looking at the time.

If the time is long, it means that the emperor is moved.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Huan left the palace.

He returned to his residence, summoned his subordinate civil servants, and said in a deep voice, "Beijiang will intervene in this battle!"

……

"Sir, this time, the conflict between the two sides is becoming more and more irreconcilable." After Liu Qing knew the 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 deadly rivals, and the emperor would wake up laughing in his sleep.

"Your Majesty, you will be delighted."

……

The emperor was not very happy.

The two sons in the frontier have returned, even if they have no affection for them, they have to act like a family reunion.

After the court meeting, he ordered his two sons to be summoned.

Their mother came too.

The meal was tasteless, the empress was indifferent, Concubine Shu only looked at her son, even the emperor didn't even take a second look.

After eating, the emperor got up, "You brothers get together more and leave less, keep drinking!"

Concubine Shu looked at King Wei worriedly, moved her right hand, and stomped 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 in peace.

There are only two brothers left in the hall.

When Han Shitou left, he even took all the servants with him.

The hall suddenly seemed extremely empty.

The two desks are very close to each other, and the two people are sitting opposite each other, and they are also very close.

"Among the brothers, you are the best at pretending. Don't deny it, Aye must know it too, but it doesn't matter." King Wei took a sip of his wine.

The dishes have not been changed, but the king of Yue barely moved his chopsticks before, so it is still very complete.

He put a piece of mutton into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and even smacked his mouth impolitely.

"Second brother."

"Ok!"

"I've thought about your business."

"I know."

"What did you do in Taiping that year?"

"What do you think?" King Wei didn't eat much food, but just drank.

King Yue ate vegetables and seldom drank alcohol, "No one in northern Xinjiang cares about you!"

He smiled, "Your reputation for brutality makes them fearful."

"Yes!" King Wei poured himself a glass of wine and muttered, "Why is it not as good as the wine from Beijiang? It's too soft!"

The King of Yue felt that he was mocking himself, and he was not angry, "So you went to that small place in Taiping, dreaming that one day you can jump up."

King Wei looked at him, "I really got up later."

"You deliberately made friends with Yang Xuan... That man is a great talent, I have to admit that. He is also the biggest anomaly, from a small county magistrate to the position of governor, and... today you Did you know about the performance of martial arts?"

King Wei shook his head, his news was not as good as King Yue Lingtong.

The king of Yue put down his chopsticks, feeling full, "Just before, civil and military officials from northern and southern Xinjiang gathered at the home of Youwuwei General Wei Zhong. The fierce soldiers in southern Xinjiang, these are the fifty sergeants of Zuo Wuwei, who do you think will win?"

King Wei asked, "Who commands?"

"The southern border is Wang Shu, and the northern border is... Yang Xuan."

King Wei drank it all in one gulp, "Beijiang wins!"

"You have great confidence in him."

"Correct."

The King of Yue said: "After Zhang Huan entered the palace and presented a strategy to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Aye was noncommittal. That is to say, the northern border is mixed in this battle."

"As expected."

"Then Yang Xuan was in Chenzhou, facing the three major ministries and Tanzhou face to face, and he wiped out one of the three major ministries, and it is said that Tanzhou did not please, so it can be seen that this person is good at fighting.

I was having a hard time in southern Xinjiang and couldn't find any help, but you were 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 am not cruel, I will become a pitiful creature 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 civil and military affairs in northern Xinjiang, fear is.

They are afraid of Aye's suspicion, so they dare not 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 possible place to rebel.

It's not stupid, but I want Aye to understand that I don't have that thought! "

King Yue couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, "Are you...playing stupid?"

King Wei pointed to the wine glass, and King Yue leaned over to fill him with wine, and King Wei drank it down in one gulp.

"I've never been stupid, it's just because you think I'm cruel, so no one approaches me. When you show off your talents all day long, I beat those idiots in the palace for A Niang. When you study with my husband, my husband He was afraid that I would beat him up, so the professor didn't do his best."

King Wei threw the wine glass onto the table, "I am a little puzzled, who has seen me show my talent in those years? Who has seen my intelligence?

Never seen it before, where did the stupid reputation come from?It's just looking down at me arrogantly, the maidservant has a child, that's all idiot!

A sense of superiority makes you complacent.

As for me, no one created momentum for me. I was in the palace at that time, and I didn't dare to let people create momentum for me, otherwise your mother, the queen, would definitely get murderous and try to kill me, so as to clean up for your prince and brother. a threat! "

"You...you're so dark!" King Yue's complexion changed slightly.

"It's not that I'm sinister, I just followed the way of survival and made those choices. In the palace, A Niang and I are like duckweed, and a single wave can drown us. Therefore, I have to keep my head down and show myself fierce."

"I never thought you could hide so deeply." The King of Yue was really shocked, "No wonder you beat the concubine when you came back this time, and Aye still doesn't blame you. It's not that Aye's temper has changed, but It's because he thinks you are a smart person who knows how to measure."

"Ok!"

"Then why don't you pretend today?"

"I don't want to pretend anymore." Wei Wang said lightly: "Aye has made it clear that he doesn't like your mother and son, and the crown prince will not abandon him. Then, it is you and me who are competing for the crown prince now, and there may be others. I wanted to continue Hibernating, but on the way to Chang'an, during the journey against the enemy, my tea was poisoned, don't rush to deny that it wasn't done by your family."

"It's really not." King Yue smiled wryly.

"Who can think of getting rid of me? Aye? Aye doesn't need such means to get rid of me. It's enough to send a servant to the northern border. Then who else do you think?"

The king of Yue is silent.

"It's nothing more than your grandfather, your mother..." King Wei raised the wine jar and took a big gulp, twitching happily, "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 that.

It turns out that the so-called maid giving birth to children is a hundred times better than you.If it weren't for you and others relying on the aristocratic family, you might be as good as me? "

The King of Yue laughed and said, "Many times, the winner is not known until the end."

"That's right!" King Wei said, "You have been insidious since you were young, and you put on a show. To be honest, I don't like it. But how other people have nothing to do with me. Now that you regard me as an enemy you want to get rid of quickly, So, let's see who will win in the end."

King Yue was startled suddenly, "When you were outside Chang'an, you slapped me on purpose."

"Don't you just expect this to pour sewage on me? If so, I will naturally give you a slap."

King Wei stood up, "Eat slowly."

The King of Yue sat there, watched him walk outside the door, and said, "You suddenly changed your appearance today because you were poisoned on the road? But you have experienced those things these years, right? Why did you just have an attack today?"

King Wei stopped and said without turning his head: "The crown prince will not be abandoned. Aye doesn't like your family. So, who is this crown prince? If I don't show up again, the opportunity will be lost."

"So that's it, hahahaha!"

The word-for-word conversation between the two brothers was transmitted to the emperor.

Han Shitou looked at the emperor listening, and sneered in his heart.

The emperor said indifferently: "I have always known that the rebellious son is not stupid and has good means. He also knows that I know this, so he tested me when he came back this time, and wanted to take his mother to the northern border. If I agree, then, yes Hinting that he cannot enter the East Palace. I forbid..."

But not because you value King Wei, but because...

"There must be someone holding it in my hand, so I can feel at ease!"
