Sheng Shian

Emperor Chengming said with a sad tone, "How many people are left now?"

Bian Cheng said, "Less than [-]%."

Emperor Chengming suddenly breathed out and coughed violently.

Fu Shangshu tapped his boots silently twice.

A censor walked out and bowed: "The imperial decree ordered the Xiao family army to guard the southwest and wait for reinforcements to break through. Now the commander-in-chief disrespects the saint and sends troops privately, causing heavy casualties. Such a big mistake, ten thousand deaths is not a pity! Your Majesty, please punish me severely immediately, so as to make an example to others!"

Emperor Chengming's complexion was not good, and it seemed that the mountain rain was about to come.

Shen Shi was about to refute, but Liu Mi came out, "The censor's words are wrong! The general is out, and the military order is not accepted! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If the commander-in-chief waits for the opportunity and does not send troops, and harms the people in the southwest, then it will be a mistake. It was a big mistake!"

The censor obviously didn't expect that the Liu family would refute him, he glanced at Fu Shangshu hesitantly, saw his hand shake behind his back three times, and the censor kept silent.

Emperor Chengming said: "Xiao's army has been fighting for many years without a single defeat. It has created an inexhaustible legend and made the barbarians on the border frightened. No one would dare to commit it! Now that Zhong Lie died in battle, my heart aches..."

He said loudly: "Jingjiwei Cavalry Captain Bian Cheng!"

"Chen is here!"

"I send you to the southwest immediately to collect the remains, build a shrine and erect a temple, bestow posthumous titles, and then give care to family members and children of kindness, so as to ensure that the old are supported and the young are supported, so as to comfort the spirit of loyalty!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

At the end of the court, Liu Mi stopped Fu Zhenzhong and asked, "I don't know something about this junior."

Fu Zhenzhong was upset because of the court affairs, so he said: "My nephew is talented in literature and martial arts, how dare I speak nonsense."

Liu Mi was also not angry, "Surveying the terrain is the most important thing for a military strategist. Xiao's army is accustomed to fighting, so how can they fall into the danger of nature?"

Fu Zhenzhong raised his eyebrows, "Is this why my nephew targeted the old man in the palace?"

"No, this junior is saving Lord Shangshu."

"Oh?"

"For the sake of my own selfishness, and harming the border soldiers, I can see that the Holy Majesty will not be deceived. If it is really investigated, I am afraid that the general will be embarrassed."

Fu Zhenzhong sneered, "How can the old man let it survive with such a trick?"

"But the estrangement has been established, and the Shangshu insisted on relentlessly. Didn't he force the Holy Majesty to question the crime?" Liu Mi paused, "It was also because of disobedience to the Holy Transcendent, the Xiao family's army had a private order to send troops, and the Shangshu did not delay the military plane and deliberately delay Do you think so?"

Fu Zhenzhong was silent.

Liu Mi said: "Master Shangshu, you must forgive others and forgive others."

……

Shen Shi didn't know why something happened to Southwest now, and he was anxious. Before leaving the palace gate, he went into a restaurant in Zi'anzhai, went to Tianzi No.[-] where Guanwen was, and hurriedly called Shuhuai to ask: "What happened in Southwest?" But is it true?"

Shu Huai nodded.

"Xiao's army would not be so rash, it must have happened suddenly." Shen Shi asked, "Where did the Fu's army go?"

"Halfway."

Shen patted the table, and the stick and bamboo chopsticks shook, and he felt resentful, "If the Southwest Incident fails, he is not afraid that Daqi will lose his land!"

Shu Huai bowed his head and said: "My generation grew up listening to the story of Fu Shangshu single-handedly fighting the seven heroes of the grassland. If you want to come to Fu Shangshu, you are not afraid of the Tatars, but you are afraid that the Xiao family's army will shake the majesty..."

Shen Shi heard the words and sighed, there is nothing more regrettable than a generation of heroes turning into courtiers.

"You send a team of people to protect the old general, and send a message to the commander, and you must do everything in the pension!"

"Yes."

Shen Shi touched the jade bone fan in his hand and asked, "How about the food and grass?"

"Everything is ready." Shu Huai asked, "It's just that such a large amount of supplies cannot stay in Beijing for a long time. Please tell me when it will be sent to the southwest?"

Shen opened the fan and shook it lightly, "Tonight, I will send you off to the Shengjing paddock."

Shu Huai opened his eyes wide, "Your Excellency..."

Shen waited for Shuhuai to leave, and slowly finished all the dishes before leaving the restaurant. He always felt restless in his thoughts, and he blew a whistle. He saw Huang Falcon flying by in the air, nothing unusual, and felt at ease. few.

No letter is the best news.

"Guest officer, the noodles are cold, do you want another bowl?" Xiao Er looked at the strange guest in front of him and asked.

The guest is dressed in extraordinary clothes and looks like a literati, so he must be a high-ranking official.It's just that for some reason, he has been staring at Zi Anzhai, who is opposite him, for an hour, without moving a muscle.

I don't eat the noodles ordered on the table, and they are all lumpy now.

The guest put a silver coin on the table.

Xiaoer took it away with a smile on his face, so he didn't care about whether he was weird or not, but when he left, he heard the whistle from the guest, which was a bit sharp, like a dumb rooster.

Xiao Er's back started to twitch, and he started walking faster.

……

As dusk fell, the Guozijian Dianbo was on duty today. He was sealing the courtyard doors one by one, but he saw the lights in the law school building. He was surprised. Didn't the supervisors go out with Mr. Wen tonight?

"Who's here?"

The light flickered and went out.

Dian Bu walked in holding the candlestick, only to hear a soft voice, "Master Dian Bu is disturbed, it is the villain Achazi who is here."

Achazi is handsome and smart, and he immediately captured the love of all the old scholars in the Imperial College, and he wished he could teach them all.

When Dian Bu heard that it was him, he was overjoyed, and lit up several candlesticks, and the room was brightly lit up, "Since you're here, why not light up all the candlesticks, I'll treat them as burglars."

Achazi said in embarrassment: "Achazi is a school boy, it is a blessing to be able to study in the Imperial College."

The book sighed, "You, Mr. Wen even gave you the keys to each classroom. I don't think any supervising student can compare to you in his regard for you. Why are you so careful, even though you are studying? gone."

"Thanks to the love of the adults, but the villain should also know his feelings and interests, and don't let others gossip."

"Never arrogant or impetuous, honest and honest. No wonder all the adults told me that you are a talented person." Dian Bu laughed, walked in and looked at the books on his case, "Are you reading law?"

Achazi nodded, "Some superficial theories make adults laugh."

The book was on duty, and when I ran into him again, I wanted to give some pointers. He picked up Achazi's annotation and looked at it, "... Well, your word looks familiar, it reminds me of a student in the university exam. "

Achazi was taken aback, did any adults remember his papers?

"Punishment is small, so admonishment is big. Punishment is at the beginning, so admonishment is final." Master Dianbo said with emotion, "The student took the words of "University" as the title, directly hitting the original intention of the legislator. New..."

It was really him... Achazi was overjoyed, he didn't know why he failed the ranking, but this time he could try to ask, maybe he could get closer in his studies, "My lord appreciates it so much, why didn't you choose him to enter the ranking, but What's missing?"

Dianbo scratched his head, "It's on the list..."

Achazi froze, suddenly there was a strong wind blowing outside the window, blowing the candles flickering...

"Well... I remember that I was still debating whether to vote for the first place or the second place. I voted for the first place, but most of them liked the innovative work of the other one. It's a pity..." Dianbo rubbed his chin, pursed his lips.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

"No... the wind blows your eyes." Achazi didn't know how he said this, and dodged to close the window, and accidentally bumped into a candlestick. He hurried to help it, and was burned red by the candle tears one slice.

"Hey, you are usually as careful as a hair, why are you so careless today, wait a minute, I'll get you some ointment."

"Thank you sir..." Achazi trembled.

After the books left, Achazi cleaned up the law school building, his little hands clenched into fists, it's impossible, my lord treats me so well, it can't be the kind of people who sell officials and nobles, maybe it's the same topic, isn't it a quote from "University" It's normal...

Achazi picked up his pen and ink, and wrote down the first paragraph of his examination paper according to his memory.Then he blew out the lamp, closed the door of the law building, and waited quietly for the book to come back.

After a while, Dian Bo hurried over holding a lantern, "Why did you come out?"

"It's late at night, Mr. Wen is almost back, and it's time for the villain to return home." Achazi hesitated, clutching the rice paper in his hand.

Dian Bu handed him the ointment, "Then remember to apply it well when you go back, three times a day, the hands of a literati, it is priceless."

Achazi nodded, saluted him and said goodbye, Fang turned and left, walked two steps, then ran back.

"My lord..."

"Huh? Did you drop something?"

"No..." Achazi took out the rice paper from his sleeve and held up the lantern, "Please take a look, my lord, is the scroll you just talked about is this article?"

Dian Bu was getting old, so he couldn't see clearly, squinting his eyes and getting closer, a drop of sweat dripped down the back of Achazi's hand.

"That's right! It's exactly this article. It's refreshing to re-read it today!" Dianbo said aftertaste: "It seems that you have a good relationship with Jiang Jiansheng, and learning more from him will help you make progress... ..."

Jiang Jiansheng, Jiang Ruohui, he was originally wondering why Guozijian students seemed to have no outstanding talents except Ying Changwang.

But considering Ying Changwang's talent is only ranked 37th, it's not surprising that he failed...

Now, now...

"Achazi, Achazi? What are you thinking? Go back quickly, don't keep Master Wen waiting."

"Ah... um... okay, my lord, take your time..."

……

Shen Shi was also feeling relieved tonight, Xu Shi was too bored, so he got up and opened the window to breathe.

As soon as he pushed open the hollow begonia window, he saw a person sitting not far away under the moonlight, looking at him.

The man looked indifferent, his lips were as thin as paper, and his eyes were bottomless.

Seeing him looking over, he didn't bother to leave a single glance, so he got up and brushed off the hem of his clothes, raised his chin slightly, and left proudly.

Shen Shichi stood in front of the window and muttered, "Even if you are ruthless, you are still touching..."

In the courtyard on an autumn night, the bamboo leaves are bleak, and the shadows are sparse and slanting. Only the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is faint. This fragrance lingers and lingers, like a charming fantasy.

"Master, it's been half an hour, how long are you going to stand in front of the window..." Kindness suddenly hangs on the window.

Shen was taken aback.

He jumped down and patted the ashes on his hands with good intentions, "Why don't I go and invite Lord Hou back for the master?"

Shen Shi directly closed the window with a "bang".

What's the use of coming back, the person he came to see was not himself from the beginning to the end.

If it weren't for what he saw today, Shen wouldn't be able to realize so clearly that that person's weight in Liu Changze is so important...

It was Liu Changze, who had always had a high self-esteem, and was willing to come to his house in the middle of the night, just to eavesdrop on a song similar to his old friend...

So humble.
