Bright moon out of Tianshan

It has not been a year or two for Gao Ban to be warlike. All the ministers know this hobby.After years of fighting, the treasury is indeed almost empty.But seeing the emperor's resolute and sad expression, no one could stop him, so he had to agree.When discussing and various details, the ministers did not retreat until midnight.The second prince got out and never came back, and the remaining two princes were ordered by their father to send the ministers out.Gao Huai waited for Gao Hong to leave the palace, and quietly followed Longxiang General Xie Zhaoran for a long, long way.

General Longxiang Xie Zhaoran led troops to garrison the border, and it was rare for him to return to Beijing, but this time he happened to return to Beijing for medical treatment due to illness, so this happened to happen again.With a pale face, he dragged his heavy sick body forward, and stopped when he heard Gao Huai gradually catch up.

Gao Huai said: "General!"

Xie Zhaoran said indifferently: "Zhao Yuancai's national power is not as strong as Eastern Qi's, so he will contact Beiyan to send troops together. Beiyan's princess is also in his harem, and she will be the next Queen of Zhao."

He turned back slowly, and said to Gao Huai, "Do you want to be emperor?"

Gao Huai was startled, but finally shook his head.Xie Zhaoran said: "There is no one within a radius of tens of feet, so don't be wary."

Gao Huai pondered for a moment, but said nothing, Xie Zhaoran stared at him, his eyes were still cold and firm under serious illness, and said, "Why?"

Gao Huai said: "The general has a great favor with me in the past, and I will not hide it from the general. I can't get close to women, and I can't leave an heir for the Eastern Qi Dynasty, so I have no chance of the throne."

Xie Zhaoran said: "If you don't have this intention, you can continue to mess around with yourself outside, what are you doing back to Jinling?"

Gao Huai looked up at him and said, "I have a lot of things to do, so I'm back."

Xie Zhaoran said: "Then...is it done?"

Gao Huai shook his head: "No, it's very difficult. Father refused to agree to me, and asked me to find a way by myself."

Xie Zhaoran said: "It's very difficult. If His Royal Highness becomes the crown prince, it will be even more difficult for you when you ascend the throne in the future." He paused, and then continued: "I heard that General Liang Fei and your father suggested that this expedition, Let you and the eldest prince have one country per person."

Gao Huai said: "I have never fought in a war. If my father asked me to go to war, which country should I choose?"

Xie Zhaoran said: "Pick Zhao Guo. Zhao Yuancai is brave, but he likes luxury, loves to have fun, and has weaknesses to take advantage of. Although Beiyan's national strength is weak, the monarch Wei Mingzhen is wise and cautious, and it is not easy to win." At present, Beiyan's military strength is obviously not as good as that of Zhao Guo. The world knows it, but Xie Zhaoran wants Gao Huai to face the difficulties.

Gao Huai said: "Brother Emperor has long wanted to fight Zhao Yuancai, I'm afraid he won't give in. Besides, Brother Emperor can fight, Zhao Guo is obviously stronger than Beiyan, will Father Emperor trust me and agree to me?"

Xie Zhaoran took a few steps forward, and said slowly: "Liang Fei also made a suggestion, whoever gets the jade seal from the enemy country and arrives at Jinling first will be the crown prince. If so, His Highness will give way." He sighed, He said softly: "I'm sick, I don't know how long I can live, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out this time, Yang Baozhen has been with me for many years, let him follow you. You can experience it yourself. Remember, you must pick Zhao country. And the throne, you'd better think about it, it doesn't matter if you are not close to women, as for the heirs, I heard..." But he suddenly stopped, and said after a moment: "Let's talk about it later." He waved his hand to Gao Huai , which means that the words are exhausted, and he is not allowed to follow her.Gao Huai stopped as he said, and watched Xie Zhaoran's thin and lonely figure slowly leave. He gritted his teeth and said secretly: "It's really difficult to go back to Jinling. But no matter what, I must go on!"

Ten days later, before the envoy sent the chopped concubine Zhao Shu to Taiyuan, the capital of Zhao, an urgent report came from the border. Zhao Yuancai, the Duancheng Emperor of Zhao, joined forces with Wei Mingzhen, the king of Beiyan. .His intentions are suspicious, and his heart can be punished.

The old emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty fell ill again due to the death of Princess Anya. Hearing the news, his eyes sparkled and he struggled to get up.They were desperately persuaded by everyone.Then Prime Minister Yunrui wrote a letter next to the emperor's imperial couch, mentioning the conscription of soldiers and food. "In the past, there was a shortage of officers and men, and they were all selected for the opening of the department, but this time there is still a month before Chunwei, but I can't wait. If the prime minister has anything to say, you might as well speak up. Do you want to advance Chunwei's martial arts?"

Yun Rui immediately presented another memorial, saying: "I really have this intention." Gao Zhi complained: "Prime Minister Yun is always like this, one swipe to the left and one swipe to the left, isn't it good to take it out once?" Yun Rui smiled and said : "If the emperor is dissatisfied with the last memorial, I don't have to take out the second one, so that the emperor can be less angry." Gao Zhi has a bad temper. Yun Rui has been prime minister with him for many years and knows how to deal with this person .

The memorial really wanted to advance Chunwei, but simplified the complicated procedures in the past, and only set up three items of policy questioning, riding and shooting, and martial arts competitions, so that the selected ones could join the army as soon as possible without delaying the army's dispatch.The items listed were very detailed, Gao Zhi looked at them carefully and said, "Okay, just follow what the prime minister said."

Yun Rui went on to say: "Your Majesty, please retreat to the left and right. I still have a secret performance, so only the third prince can be left here."

Gao Zhi immediately threw everyone out, leaving only Gao Huai, looked at Yun Rui with piercing eyes, and said, "What else is there for Prime Minister Yun? He is so mysterious." He stretched out his hand and took his secret message. Zhao, but it's not a notebook, it's just a piece of paper, Yun Rui said: "This was sent to Weichen's mansion by an expert at [-] o'clock last night, please the emperor read it and destroy it."

Gao Huai watched quietly from the side, Gao Zhi followed his words and looked carefully, the more he looked, the paler his face became, and finally Longyan was furious, tearing the piece of paper to pieces, and then he was panting , reached out and tugged at his chest.Yun Rui immediately said: "I heard that the third prince's internal energy is very strong, so I ask the third prince to please His Majesty quickly."

It was only then that Gao Huai understood the deep meaning of Yun Rui's stay here, and hurried over to smoothen the Qi for his father, using his internal energy to regulate and suppress Gao Zhi's disordered internal breath.

Yun Rui continued: "The imperial physician is outside, do you want your majesty to call?"

Gao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: "No need! Xuan Hong'er came in! I felt that something was wrong that day, and it was really the fault of this rebellious son." Yun Rui said: "The emperor must be careful. Now the war is about to start, the eldest prince Being brave and good at fighting is a talent that should be used, and it is too much not to be punished."

Gao Zhi said: "I can save it!"

Gao Hong rushed over excitedly, bowed to his father, Gao Zhi said: "Come here, get closer to me." Gao Hong moved closer as he said, and Gao Zhi slapped him across the face with a backhand, simply and neatly.Gao Hong was staggered from the beating, half of his face was red and swollen, and he screamed, "Father!"

Gao Zhi said: "This time, we will divide into two armies, each attacking Yan and Zhao. Huai'er is small, so you choose first."

Gao Huai immediately said: "Father, my son wants to go to Zhao Guo to experience it."

Gao Hong was furious when he heard that, he had planned for a long time, just wanted to fight Zhao Yuancai, but now he was unwilling to die, and said: "Third brother, fighting is a real fight with swords and guns, not for you to experience it yourself Yes! Father, no matter how bad the child is, he has been fighting here and there for many years. The third brother...he has never fought a war. It is no child's play between the two countries. Father, you can't be so partial!"

Gao Zhi said coldly: "I'm not partial at all! Whoever wins the enemy's country first this time and returns to the court with the monarch's jade seal in hand, I will make him the crown prince! This is the bad idea of ​​your dead old father-in-law, and you have done it in front of many people. I will be judged in person. So for the sake of fairness, let your third brother pick first. How can I be biased? Huai'er, do you still want to pick Zhao Guo?"

Gao Huai lowered his eyelashes and insisted: "I still want to go to Zhao Guo."

Gao Hong's expression changed, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he finally suppressed the faint joy, and said: "Then the father slapped the child..."

Gao Zhi said gloomyly: "Do you really want me to say it in front of Prime Minister Yun and your third brother? Anya is my daughter, and she died without knowing it. I slapped you lightly! Wait I have figured this out, and when the evidence is convincing, it is not as simple as a slap in the face!"

The emperor of the Eastern Qi State issued an imperial edict, and the imperial court made an imperial list. In order to deal with the imminent border war, Eastern Qi planned to select a group of generals to enlist directly in the army, so the Chunwei military test was brought forward. However, compared with the previous military test, the specifications and The order has been slightly changed and simplified a lot.In the past, after all the three items were tested, the imperial list was made, but now it is one item and one imperial list, so that the next batch of martial arts students who take the exam are eliminated, which is also a new start.

Ding Wuxia got the news from his father earlier, took the imperial documents and hurried to find Xiao Jian.Xiao Jian was on the grass in the back garden of Cuixiu Academy, joking and having fun with a group of sisters and sisters, the atmosphere was very harmonious and warm.Xiao Jian could bully Ding Wuxia casually, but Ding Wuxia didn't dare to say a word about his mischief, he just grabbed him out of the crowd and showed him the paperwork.

After reading the document, Xiao Jian's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he held Ding Wuxia's shoulders and shook for a while: "Old Ding, that's great, I have been waiting to join the army. I wanted to join the army as a general when I was very young." What a rare opportunity! What about you? Are you going to sign up?"

Ding Wuxia said: "My father agreed to let me go. I have already signed up, so I will come to you quickly. Xiao Jian, how is your kung fu practice now? Although the first question is the essay test, since it is To select generals to go to war, I feel that the most important thing for everyone is the martial arts test. You should be fine, right?

Xiao Jian smiled and said: "Of course, why don't we do a few tricks?" Suddenly his left leg swept across, and his hands pulled together. With just one move, Ding Wuxia was put down on the grass, and he pressed on and held down, saying: " How about it?"

Ding Wuxia was shocked and shouted: "Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian, what are you doing? I'm your future brother-in-law!"

Seeing him blushing for a moment, Xiao Jian stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and wondered: "I didn't do anything, I was fighting with you, why are you blushing?" Ding Wuxia looked at his innocent black eyes wide open, and could only sigh helplessly: "Crush me to death, get up quickly."

Xiao Jian let him get up, suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "No time, am I... after the criminal minister, am I eligible to apply? By the way, if they don't let me apply, can I ask Uncle Ding to do it for me?" Mediation and mediation, I can change my name and surname, I will not call this name for now, what do you think?"
