The happy life of a prodigal

But......

The scene that happened just now gave him a new understanding.

This man...will report his flaws.

Of course, it can also be said to be narrow-minded.

Otherwise, why is it just a tentative arrow, so you have to do such a thing.

"you......"

King Ning looked at Fang Xiu standing in front of him, subconsciously took a step back, and wanted to say something.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "Today's incident was purely accidental, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness Ning, who sent people to search around, I would never have known that His Royal Highness Ning would be here.

As for everything that happened just now, it was because that blind thing shot an arrow at me.

But, as you can see, the matter is settled, and there is nothing else to do.

I still have something to do, so I won't have more BB with you, goodbye! "

How much... BB?

The last sentence, King Ning was confused.

But the rest of the content, he did hear clearly.

He raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xiu and the powerful soldiers behind him.

Some can't believe it.

All this... just a coincidence?

For a while, he couldn't accept it.

He would rather Fang Xiu tell himself that he had prepared all of this in advance.

In fact, he had already ambushed many people in the nearby woods, just waiting for his appearance.

And don't want to...it's all just a coincidence.

I have put in so much effort and struggled for such a long time, could it all be ruined by a coincidence?

How can you do this! ?

When King Ning thought of this, his heart was almost on the verge of collapse.

Watching Fang Xiu and his Youbalin guards drifting away, he finally couldn't take it anymore, spat out a mouthful of blood, and passed out...

............

Back at You Yu Linwei's camp, Fang Xiu released all the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion who had been beaten up until his own mother didn't know him.

In any case, King Ning is still the Prince of Chu, and he still needs the minimum respect.

and......

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at the guards of Ning Palace.

Presumably, these guys will not dare to do evil in the capital in the future.

After driving away the rubbish, Fang Xiu sat on a chair, picked up his teacup, and drank it vigorously.

I don't know how long, I haven't run like this.

The situation was tense just now, and I didn't feel much. Now that I am free, I feel my throat dry.

In front of him, Liang Huduan stood upright, lowered his head, and said: "I'm guilty of a humble job, please punish me, General."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was a little confused, raised his eyes, glanced at him, and asked, "What's your crime?"

Liang Hu didn't raise his head, and replied: "The general ordered Xiaozhi to stop the carriage, but Xiaozhi let the people in the carriage go away."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he smiled and said, "I just asked you to stop the carriage, and the people inside are indeed not easy to catch. If they run away, they will run away. It's no big deal."

After finishing speaking, Liang Hu still lowered his head.

When Fang Xiu came to Youyu Linwei, he set a rule.

Those who make merit will be rewarded, and those who make mistakes will be punished...

Clear rewards and punishments are also the way of management.

It's just...it's obviously not Liang Hu's fault this time.

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and suddenly understood his intention.

Since this rule was made, no one seems to have been punished, only rewarded.

After a long time, the soldiers under him inevitably had other thoughts, thinking that the so-called punishment... was just talk.

As the Zhonglang general of Youba Linwei, Liang Hu obviously didn't want to see this kind of thing happen.

Fang Xiu naturally didn't want to see it either.

So, after thinking about it, he gave an order: "You are bad at things. According to the rules, you must be punished. You will be fined for seven days. You will be demoted from a general to a soldier, and you will line up with the rest and obey the command of the school lieutenant."

When Liang Hu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, General!"

Chapter 3 Cabinet Deliberations

After Liang Hu left, Fang Xiu walked to the desk in the tent, picked up the writing brush on it, and began to feel melancholy.

The memorial must be written.

Otherwise, there is no way to give Chu Huang an explanation.

However, how to write it is a problem.

First of all, you can't be too blunt, saying that your son and our Da Chu have hooked up to each other, and you can't avoid the important and minor, avoid talking about it.

Therefore, how to write a memorial to the emperor is also a science.

Fortunately, during this period of time, he often studied the Four Books and Five Classics. Although he was very disdainful of the writing skills of the ancients, he also learned a little bit, which can be applied here.

and......

King Ning colluded with the prairie people, there is no way that old Chu Huang didn't understand.

Whether it is Ning Wang or Kang Wang, compared with Chu Huang, they are just immature children.

Just thinking about it, I knew how could there be no eyeliner in the Palace of Prince Ning.

However, King Ning probably was forced to do nothing, so he made such a bad move.

Otherwise, any adult with a sound mind would not be able to do such a thing as sending Yan Yanran away in a grand manner.

It's just that Qiyan Yanran actually thought of cooperating with King Ning, who had lost power and had almost no chance of ascending to the throne, and it was indeed beyond Fang Xiu's expectations.

According to common sense, there is almost no possibility of friendship between the Qiyan Department and Chu State.

As the princess of the Begging Yan Department, the first thing she should do is to leave Chu State early, so as not to be left as a proton.

But she still wanted to create conflicts within the court, really...

After all, King Ning is the most pitiful one. In the end, he didn't even know he was sold out.

"Come on!"

After about a stick of incense, Fang Xiu finally wrote the two memorials in his hand, put them in a secret envelope, called the guards outside the tent, and handed the envelopes to him.

After the order was completed, he walked out of the camp, ready to study the method of gunpowder.

............

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Chu picked up his teacup and took a sip.

In front of him, sat four white-haired old men.

In addition to the three great scholars in the cabinet, there is also Ma Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Since the grassland sent people to marry, the Minister of the Ministry of War, which was originally a marginalized position among the six ministries, suddenly became prominent.

In the imperial court, countless people are closely watching the movement of the Ministry of War.

Ma Wenhua, who had always been a transparent person, now has more distinguished guests who have never set foot in the house these days, and they are all relatives of the emperor.

After exchanging pleasantries, what he asked was nothing more than those few things.

Is the imperial court going to war with the grassland?

Ma Gong thinks whether the imperial court can defeat those barbarians in the grassland...

Such words are nothing more than timid and fearful, wanting to make preparations in advance and send the assets of the family to Jiangnan.

The euphemism is that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but everyone is very clear about what is actually going on.

Emperor Chu also had a little understanding of the atmosphere in the capital, but there was no good way to force him to stay here.

The most important thing is that the coalition forces of the grassland tribes did approach the capital for a short time before.

Although the state of Chu today can be said to have strong troops and horses, it is stronger than any previous dynasty.

But... the grassland tribes are not like this.

In the past, there were no leading tribes, but relying on a loose coalition army and almost invincible cavalry, they were able to act recklessly in the Central Plains.

What's more, now they have a begging tribe that is so powerful that the rest of the tribes have to rely on it.

No one knows whether Da Chu can withstand the iron cavalry of the Qi Yan Department.

In the cabinet, the four important ministers of the imperial court all looked worried about Zhong Zhong.

"After some time, the news from the capital should be able to spread to the Qiyan Department. The strategy of exchanging tea and horses and reforming the land to return the people has achieved very good results in the southwestern chieftain. If there is no such thing, the imperial court will gradually plan it. In less than a hundred years, the tribes of the grassland will no longer have the power to invade our Central Plains, what a pity..."

One of the cabinet maesters sighed and stopped talking.

It's a pity that the prairie people may not give the court this chance.

On the side, Ma Wenhua glanced at the cabinet scholar, and said with a smile: "Why did Liu Gong come here? The cavalry of the Qiyan Department is indeed very strong, but my soldiers in Dachu are not the same as they were a hundred years ago.

Even if there is a real war, it will definitely keep the coalition forces of the grassland tribes from the four states. "

The rest of the people in the pavilion were silent when they heard this.

At this time, it is natural not to grow other people's ambitions.

As important ministers in the imperial court, their every move and even a casual sentence can have a huge impact.

The current situation is still unclear. If they, the top scholars in the cabinet, do not have confidence in their own soldiers, what will the court officials think, and what will the common people in the world think after the news spreads?

It's just that even though I said so, I actually have to do it, but...

Regarding what Ma Wenhua said, several people still maintained their original ideas.

After the Taizu, the various guards and generals of the Chu State have never had a convincing record against the cavalry on the grassland.

It is already a great fortune to be able to keep the prairie people out of the four northern states, what other extravagant wishes can there be.

"The matter discussed today is the matter of the southwest and the grassland. We will discuss it the next day."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Huang said with a blank expression on his face.

As soon as the words were finished, Yan Zhuang, a scholar of the First Assistant University, stood up, bowed to the Emperor of Chu, and said: "The policy of reforming the land and returning it to the people, and the mutual market of tea and horses are important policies of the country and cannot be changed.

Since its implementation, the rebellion of Southwest chieftains has been decreasing day by day, the tax revenue of the imperial court has been increasing day by day, which can be called the wealth of the country, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and praise the imperial court in every possible way, which can be called the people's security.

Since the country is rich and the people are safe, why should this policy be withdrawn? The Duke of Qian's letter is nothing more than the worry that the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will cook it.

The minister thought that His Majesty could issue an order to appease Duke Qian, and then clarify the stakes.

With the righteousness of Duke Qian, he will definitely understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts. "

Having said this, he paused, a cold look suddenly flashed across his old face, and continued: "If Duke Qian cannot understand the painstaking efforts of His Majesty and the court, General Zhenyuan..."

Speaking of this, it stopped abruptly. There is no need to say the following words, and everyone in the room understands.

It was nothing more than asking General Zhenyuan to come forward and confiscate Duke Qian's military power.

As for the consequences...

If it was in the past, you might still need to worry about it, but since the imperial court established nine important generals and set General Zhenyuan in the southwest, this problem no longer exists.

Even if it causes some turmoil, it cannot shake the foundation of the country.
