Cannon fodder counterattack standard

Liu Aoyun is majestic and handsome, with a burly figure, slightly dark complexion, and a commanding aura between his brows, which makes him not the slightest bit timid even in this magnificent and splendid hall.

The childishness of the originally 14-year-old boy has disappeared, and that Shen Aoyun also died suddenly in the Dashen Palace at the age of 14. The person in front of him is Liu Aoyun, the most loyal general in Dashen, leading an army of nearly 30.

At this time, the emperor was already old, his body gradually collapsed from years of hard work and worries, and the struggle in the harem also made him tired. He wanted to let go of all this, but if he let go, then his children would be a fight , so he can only hold on, even if it takes one more day.

He used to hate King Gui Qu very much, but now seeing Liu Aoyun, he suddenly thought how great it would be if this younger brother could help him by his side, but King Gui Qu is dead, and the person in front of him has even changed his surname , He admits that he is a citizen of Dashen, but he does not admit that he is a royal.

With a long sigh, the emperor said, "General Liu, take care of yourself."

Liu Aoyun stood up, took a step back, and stood aside, very respectful.His appearance was also in line with his promise at the beginning, he was willing to work for Dashen, even if he risked his life, there was absolutely no resentment in the slightest.

In the beginning, the emperor really sent people to monitor him, but later on Liu Aoyun was loyal every time, every time he played without concealment, his loyalty to Dashen was like a rock, unwavering.Later, the emperor finally believed him completely, so he withdrew his own people, and even completely handed over the southwestern military affairs to Liu Aoyun.

In the past, the emperor also sent letters asking Liu Aoyun to come to Beijing, whether it was to report on his duties or to receive rewards. Liu Aoyun never went because he was busy with military affairs. It can be realized in the frontier, so the emperor trusts Liu Aoyun more and more. A general who will never enter the capital will have any resentment, and Liu Aoyun really does not.

This time, the emperor felt that his body couldn't last much longer, so firstly, he wanted Liu Aoyun to take care of the princes in the palace, and secondly, he really wanted to see him again. For nothing else, at least call him emperor. younger brother.

Liu Aoyun retreated to one side and stood, although his head was lowered, but his aura remained undiminished, the emperor was also happy in his heart, and said: "Wu Zhonghe lives in the southwest, has never paid much attention to Da Shen, and is even good at raising private soldiers, the heart of rebellion is obvious If it is revealed, this time General Liu wiped out all Wu Zhonghe's private soldiers, and at the same time eliminated several officials who were in collusion with him, he really deserves a reward."

Most people in the court didn't know the original Shen Aoyun, so they didn't know that the current general was the original King Guiqu, and the original princes had never had any contact with King Guiqu, and Shen Aoyun was a loner back then , There are not many people in the whole palace.

A few eunuchs and maids may remember, but ten years have passed, all the court ladies have left the palace, and the eunuchs have changed several times, and now except for Shen Han and the emperor, no one knows that Liu Aoyun is the original King Guiqu.

After the emperor finished speaking, all the officials below echoed and supported him. Qin Wenqi, the prime minister of the court, stepped forward and said: "General Liu deserves a great reward for his bravery, skill in warfare, dedication and loyalty to the country. I propose that General Liu be named king with a different surname. Given a mansion in Beijing, of course this king with a different surname may not have a fief, but it is a great honor."

Qin Wenqi is indeed good at pleasing people, because of Wu Zhonghe's matter, the emperor is of course very cautious towards kings with different surnames, especially kings with different surnames who have fiefs, but if there is no fief, just a king, then it's nothing.

Liu Aoyun stayed on one side, still not speaking.

After Prime Minister Qin Wenqi finished speaking, many people seconded the proposal. The emperor didn't think of how to reward Liu Aoyun at first. The words of being crowned king happened to be regarded as his own favor, and in the future, Dashen would have to rely on Liu Aoyun's protection.

After figuring it out, the emperor coughed a few times, and said: "I will make Liu Aoyun, the Southwest General, the King of Zhaoping, and I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver."

Liu Aoyun took a step forward, stood in the middle of the hall, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

After the morning court that day, the emperor stopped Liu Aoyun alone.In the side hall, the emperor looked at the thick stack of memorials in front of him, feeling a little depressed.

In the past, he asked the prince to come to help, but after he learned something, he told the prince not to come again. However, he didn't want to blame the prince too much. After all, among these princes, who is not secretly engaged in various activities for power and profit?

Because of Wu Zhonghe's matter, Concubine Jing was bestowed to death, and the power of the fifth prince was completely weakened. However, judging from the vicious temperament of the fifth prince, there may be more actions in the future.

"Ah." With a long sigh, the emperor wanted to say something, but suddenly he coughed, and the cough couldn't be stopped, until he coughed up a little blood and then gradually calmed down again.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. You can't do this big sinking." Liu Aoyun said, his voice was no longer the clear and crisp voice of a boy, but low and full of magnetism. Unsurprisingly stable.

Liu Aoyun's imposing manner was fierce, but his eyes were very gentle. His voice seemed to really comfort the emperor, only to hear Shen Minghao say: "Oh, brother, brother probably will die soon."

Liu Aoyun froze all over. Shen Minghao had never called himself emperor's younger brother before, but this time he called himself that, which made him a little embarrassed, but also a little happy.

"Your Majesty, don't say that."

Shen Minghao sighed again, and said, "Your Royal Brother, there is no need to comfort me. I also know my physical condition, but I can't let go of this heavy sinking. Although the crown prince looks stable, he has no opinion. He listens to everything. For the queen, although the second prince has his own opinions, he is eager for quick success, the fifth prince is cruel and ruthless, the sixth prince is kind-hearted, but he has no courage, means, or ability to govern the country. The tenth prince is too stupid and definitely not the material to be an emperor. Sigh, I have so many princes, but I can't find a suitable successor."

As he spoke, Shen Minghao's complexion became even more gloomy.

After being silent for a while, Liu Aoyun said: "Your Majesty, your descendants have their own blessings, you think so much, why don't you relax and take good care of your body, maybe in a few years, these children will grow up and their minds will be settled. "

"My brother, don't excuse them. The prince is already twenty-seven this year, and his children are already eight years old. The last three princes are the same age, so they will be seventeen. Except for the seventh prince, the ninth prince and ten The prince has already married his concubine. Not to mention the young age, they all have their own power."

Liu Aoyun was speechless because he knew that he was one of the princes' powers, but the emperor didn't know it.

"Hey, most of the officials in the imperial court have already elected their masters. There are not many people like you who will always be loyal to the king no matter who is the emperor, as long as the Great Shen is still the Great Shen."

Liu Aoyun continued to remain silent, and Shen Minghao continued: "Imperial brother, I beg you, before the new emperor ascends the throne, don't go back to the southwest again, help me watch the palace."

Liu Aoyun looked embarrassed, he said: "Your Majesty, this minister is only responsible for defending this homeland for Da Shen, the affairs of the royal family... this humble minister is really..."

After hearing this, Shen Minghao knew that Liu Aoyun was rejecting him, but the only person he trusted now was Liu Aoyun instead.He walked out from behind the desk, and held Liu Aoyun's hand tightly, "My Royal Brother, I was wrong before, but now I know I was wrong, and I also know that you are loyal, but if this Da Shen is not called Da Shen anymore , how loyal are you, so brother Huang, you must help brother Huang this time."

Liu Aoyun was silent again, this silence was because he actually had selfish intentions, but the emperor thought he was still hesitating, so he believed even more in his loyalty and selflessness.

Finally, Liu Aoyun nodded.

The emperor finally became happy, but he coughed again when he was happy.After the wave of coughing stopped, the emperor took a breath and said: "My brother, you can come and go from the palace as you like, and you can discipline the princes as you like."

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to discipline the prince. I can only give you a guarantee. As long as I live for a day, this great Shen emperor can only be named Shen."

The emperor nodded in relief, and told Liu Aoyun to go down.Because Liu Aoyun didn't have a house in Beijing yet, he stayed in a very luxurious inn for officials who came to Beijing for the time being.

This inn was not far from the imperial palace, it was in the center of the capital, and the news of his stay here spread everywhere, and he welcomed his first visitor that night before he packed up his belongings.

Liu Aoyun originally came to Beijing alone, and now he is alone, so no one reported it to him. When someone knocked on the door, he opened the door himself. Once the door was opened, it was impossible to refuse, because the person who came was precisely In the early court, he suggested to the emperor to make him the old prime minister of Qin Wenqi who had a different surname.

The old prime minister is the queen's father, and of course the old prime minister is the leader of the prince's party and the most powerful faction in the court.

"The old minister sees King Zhaoping." Qin Wenqi knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door, Liu Aoyun hurriedly moved a step sideways to avoid the prime minister's kneeling, and then supported the prime minister to stand up.

"Prime Minister, it is the humble minister who should pay respects to you."

Qin Wenqi was supported by Liu Aoyun and stood up. He stroked his beard and said, "Of course not. The king is the king. After the king is over, he is the king, and after the king is the minister. The old minister kneels rightly."

Liu Aoyun supported Qin Wenqi, let him sit down, and said: "Prime Minister must never do this in the future, I can't bear it."

"Of course I can afford it. General Liu fought desperately for me in the front, eating and sleeping in the open every day, guarding the world on the battlefield, of course I can afford it."

Liu Aoyun felt it was boring to talk to an old man, so he asked with a smile: "The Prime Minister is looking for me, what is the matter?"

"It's all right, I've heard that General Liu is brave and good at fighting for a long time, so I came here to get acquainted." The old prime minister laughed.

Liu Aoyun also laughed, but he thought in his heart that if he had nothing to do, don't bother him to sleep.

In fact, Liu Aoyun looks calm, but he is used to being in the army, and he always likes people who are forthright and straightforward. He can't like people like the old prime minister who can turn thirty corners, but now the prime minister has taken the initiative to come over After getting acquainted, Liu Aoyun couldn't lose his face, so he could only smile and say: "I've also heard of the prime minister's name for a long time, and the affairs of the court and China have worked hard for you."

Qin Wenqi waved his hands and said, "Whatever there is, I just do what I can, and it's all for this big sinking."

The two talked around the bush, and it wasn't until they left that Qin Wenqi took out a small box and said, "The first time we meet, I don't have time to prepare, so I'll give you a box as a gift."

Liu Aoyun opened the box and saw that there were a dozen banknotes neatly placed inside, each with a face value of 5000 taels.

With a thump in his heart, Liu Aoyun slapped the lid on the box and put it back into Qin Wenqi's hands, the expression on his face also changed, "Prime Minister, this king can't accept this greeting gift from you."

Liu Aoyun has always referred to himself as "I", but this time he changed it to "My King", then the meaning has completely changed, and the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away is very obvious.

Qin Wenqi smiled and said, "Why, too little?"

"No, it's too much. Prime Minister, we'd better not come here. This king has always been neutral. No matter what kind of grievances you have, this king doesn't want to interfere. So you take this thing back, we are still friends, if you don't Take it back, and that book will be burned now."

Qin Wenqi couldn't hold back his face this time, and his smile froze, "If that's the case, let's burn it, and I haven't taken back the things I sent out."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wenqi turned around and went out, while Liu Aoyun turned around and collected the bank notes, alas, if his little nephew wants to become emperor, he will have to spend a lot of money, right?

Qin Wenqi walked a few steps and then backed away, looking in quietly through the window, but saw nothing, but smelled a smell of burning paper, and whispered, "This guy is really burning", in the end he had no choice but to Can go away resentfully.Qin Wenqi left, and at the same time he found out that this General Liu seemed to be a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and he said he would not participate in the struggle between the court and China, but he really did not.

Qin Wenqi left, and continued to think as he walked, this is fine, at least Liu Aoyun is not their opponent, it would be really bad if Liu Aoyun became his opponent, he is leading an army of 30, especially the 30 army is The ever-victorious division, the cohesion of the army is frighteningly high, and they support Liu Aoyun 100%. If he turns against him, this great Shen may be overthrown.

Forget it, Qin Wenqi thought to himself, it's only one hundred thousand silver, and it's okay to buy it for peace of mind.

After Qin Wenqi left, Liu Aoyun took a rest and was just about to wash up when someone came to visit again.

"Dong dong dong."

This time Liu Aoyun was smart, instead of opening the door, he asked, "Who is it?"

"General Liu, I'm Ding Ming."

Liu Aoyun originally thought that no one would disappear, but after hearing the other party's name, he opened the door again, because Ding Ming was none other than the mighty General, leading an army of hundreds of thousands in Dashen, and He is famous in the army, and Liu Aoyun himself admires him very much.

Opening the door, Liu Aoyun clasped his fists and said, "Mighty General, I've admired you for a long time, please come in quickly."

Ding Ming is actually over 60 years old this year, but his eyes are still bright and energetic. He also punched Liu Aoyun and walked in the door.

The two sat down, Liu Aoyun poured tea for Ding Ming, the two talked while drinking.

"Your young people are awesome! I heard that you once rode thousands of miles in the southwest alone, burned the food and grass of a thousand-man team in Wu Zhonghe alone, and even led a small group of people directly into the commanding tent of Wu Zhonghe's army. Really! Wizards and geniuses."

"Where and where are all brothers bragging. If you are so amazing, why would you need to fight?"

Liu Aoyun spoke modest words, but felt a little bored in his heart, because he found that the words of this mighty general were really similar to the old prime minister just now, they were all beating around the bush.

After finally sending Ding Ming away, Liu Aoyun found a painting at the place where Ding Ming had sat. Even if he didn’t know anything about the painting, he knew that it was the work of a famous talent in the previous dynasty. Come on, this painting can be said to be priceless, let alone 10 taels, even 50 taels, you may not be able to buy it.

Liu Aoyun looked at the painting and thought, forget it, I'd better find someone to return it tomorrow, this is no better than a banknote, the banknote is easy to talk about and hide, this thing will be destroyed if you are not careful, if this thing is destroyed in your own hands, That's a pity too.

After washing up, Shen Aoyun really planned to go to bed this time, just as he took off his shoes, he heard the knock on the door again.

"Who?"

"you guess."

Shen Aoyun didn't have the time to guess, "I'll come back tomorrow if I have something to do, the king has already fallen asleep."

But after he finished answering, the door creaked open, followed by the sound of brisk footsteps, Liu Aoyun sighed inwardly, thinking that these courtiers were really annoying, but there was nothing he could do, he could only sit by the bed, ready to get up to deal with the new... people who come.

However, before it was ready, the visitor had already walked into the inner room.As soon as Shen Aoyun raised his head, he saw a pair of smiling eyebrows, which were so beautiful that someone came and said: "Uncle Yun, long time no see, don't come here to be safe."
