Heir and wife

Chapter 144

Although there was no wave in the ancient well on the surface, Emperor Chengyuan couldn't hide his surprise in his heart.Before he could say anything, the two of them volunteered!

These two people... really are formidable young people, Emperor Chengyuan looked at Luo Xingzhou with deep meaning.Having been emperor for more than ten years, his mind-attacking skills have already reached perfection.Although it was the Xu family boy who proposed to go with the army first, but at most he acted impulsively.As for Luo Sihai's son, he guessed a little bit of his thoughts.

That's right, when the third child tore up the imperial examination papers, he was in the teahouse, and he could have stopped it, so that he could pass the imperial examination and select the two talents, but at the last moment he changed his mind.According to the information handed over by Zhenbei Fusi, these two young people are not trivial.

Luo Xingzhou didn't know who he followed, and he was very good at adapting to changes.In addition, in order to accompany his younger sister since he was a child, he also studied under Master Hongzhen for half of his life. Although his martial arts skills are not superb, he is also an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.As for Xu Xingzhi, that was even more remarkable.Although he is a little immature in dealing with people, he inherited the talent of his grandfather and father who worked in the Ministry of Industry, and he was very good at observing terrain at a young age.There are many deserts in the northwest, and the army relies heavily on guides for driving.With Xu Xingzhi's ability to not go the wrong way with his eyes closed, he can definitely catch the enemy by surprise in the army.

So what if they are scholars?Most of the Zhongju are also the seven-rank county magistrates who have been released to the outside world. After decades of returning to the center, they may not necessarily be in the cabinet for a lifetime.But joining the army is different. Daqi has no second way, which can be faster than relying on military merits to increase ranks.Now it depends on whether these two young masters can go all out and suffer the hardships of the Northwest.

He was overjoyed by the reaction of the two of them, and before he could mention it, they volunteered one by one.

In his joy, he even gave up his habitual tantalizing, with a stern face that made it impossible to guess what it meant, and he was secretly anxious.Instead, he got up from the throne and helped the two of them himself: "Okay, the tiger father has no dogs and sons, and I did not misunderstand Luo Sihai. Luo Xingzhou and Xu Xingzhi listened to the order:"

Luo Xingzhou was determined in his heart, and this move tickled His Majesty's itching.Xu Xingzhi didn't think that much, and now he only wants to get ahead quickly.Although the two cousins ​​had different ideas, they couldn't help being excited and knelt down on the ground.

"Remembering that you two are loyal to the emperor and serving the people, I have specially appointed you as a seventh-rank scribe. From now on, you will be incorporated into the Pingxi Army, and you will set off with the army at a certain date."

"Follow His Majesty's will."

After the two received the decree, Emperor Chengyuan stood up and glanced at the enthusiastic crowd with deep meaning: "Your students are supported by their parents and relatives, and the cost of pens, inks, papers and inkstones is immeasurable. Among them are the elderly, With a mediocre voice, the enterprising heart is not as good as that of a young man with a weak crown. If so, it doesn't matter if you don't read this book."

As soon as the emperor said this, the audience fell silent.In the farthest corner of the student group, the gray-haired old men who were previously huddled in the tea house were now full of fear and embarrassment.Could it be that their words and deeds fell into His Majesty's ears just now?The enterprising heart is not as good as the two teenagers who have not reached the weak crown, this statement is deafening.Looking back on this life, what have they really done besides wasting pen, ink, paper and inkstone and clinging to the illusory self-esteem of scholars?
The student fell into deep thought, but Luo Weitong fell into anxiety.Cousin and elder brother turned from scholars to soldiers just like that?Not only ordinary soldiers, but even without the slightest training, they almost immediately went to the northwest where the environment is the worst and the enemy is the most fierce!Thinking of this, she felt dizzy for a while, cousin and elder brother are the only males left in the two families, and both families have elderly people, can they bear it?
Zhou Yuanke approached unobtrusively, helped the little girl in a corner where others could not easily notice, and said softly: "General Pingxi is serving in the northwest, and both brothers are officials, so there is no danger in going there."

Luo Weitong suddenly realized, that's right, with his father taking care of him, could he still be in danger of his life? !Although she was still worried, her calm and composed voice made her put her heart back in her stomach.Turning her head to see those eyes again, she only felt that there was an incomparably reassuring power shining in those usually dark and cold eyes.

"My lord, thank you."

She said in a barely audible voice, but the smile on her lips was extremely sincere.

Seeing the genuine joy in her big eyes, Zhou Yuanke felt extremely relieved.The little girl is really nice, she can get along well with anyone.He could even tell that His Majesty liked her quite a lot.Maybe it's time to write a letter to the master who has traveled all over the world, telling him that his apprentice-in-law has been decided.

Thinking of this, he retreated behind Emperor Cheng Yuan, admiring the shaking cuffs of the third prince from the corner of his eye, but thinking about his friend the fourth prince from the bottom of his heart.The prince is weak and sick, and it is still unknown whether he can survive Emperor Chengyuan.The second prince died early, and the third prince looked like this again, some things seemed destined to be unavoidable.

Luo Weitong originally thought that his brother's hasty decision to join the army would cause an uproar at home.Who would have thought that after returning to the mansion, when she ran to her mother's room non-stop to explain the matter, she could only get a look of hatred.

"It's also good to go to the northwest." Xu said.

"Boys should sharpen more." Rong followed up to express his support.

"Left and right are under Si Hai's eyelids, just let his father take care of him." The most soft-hearted grandmother in the family also expressed her support.

Opening her mouth wide, Luo Weitong felt that her brain was not enough. Is this her kind great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother who loves her brother?
"It's the Northwest over there, so you don't worry about your brother at all?"

Pinching her waist, she asked loudly, and her eyes were full of condemnation, wandering among the three of them, accusing them of being irresponsible.

"Look, Jiaojiao is so angry," Rong stood up and hugged her into his arms: "Xingzhou is different from you, he is a man, and he will carry the entire Luofu in the future. If you don't spend more time while you are young, what will happen in the future?" Promising?"

Grandmother also nodded: "Your great-grandmother is right. Those children from aristocratic families who rely on the shadow of their ancestors dare to dominate the common people. They don't have much real skills. No matter how high their background is, they are doomed to be mediocre in the officialdom. So As the old saying goes, heroes don’t ask where they come from, and ambition doesn’t depend on age.”

Even in the end, she intentionally or unintentionally dragged out several men from Wen Xiangbo's mansion.From the current Wen Xiangbo to the number of people in the same generation as his father, the comparison shows how unsatisfactory they are.

"If a man wants to be successful, he has to look at his own ability in the final analysis. The least ability is like..." The grandmother's voice was a little softer when she spoke of this: "Emperor Anwen, the rich country left by our ancestors, isn't it still impossible to keep it? Your father is also in the army, sailing here will surely save his life, and it will be a good thing to exercise."
