Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Tang Gaoyuan raised his sleeves, wiped the tears from his face, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to sue Yan Xu, the commander of the reserve battalion. He is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and has a dark mind, killing Zhongliang! The child is lying on the bed now, and his life and death are uncertain. Please punish him severely. Xu, give the child an explanation!" Yan Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yan Xu's name, something happened to the reserve camp?Why didn't I get the message?

He subconsciously said: "Master Tang, your son's life or death is uncertain, what does it have to do with Yan Xu?"

Tang Gaoyuan turned his head and glared at Yan Zheng, snorted coldly, and looked at Guo Heng again.

"Your Majesty, Haoran's life and death are uncertain, all thanks to Yan Xu!"

"What's going on?" Guo Heng was in a hurry. Tang Gaoyuan, who is usually quite neat, couldn't get to the point today. "Commander Tang was injured? How did he get injured? Is it serious? What does it have to do with Yan Xu?"

It was only then that Tang Gaoyuan realized that he had said a lot, but he hadn't said the right thing.If you care about it, you will be chaotic. Who let him have only this one child?

Although Tang Haoran seldom mentions his stay in the reserve camp at home, who is Tang Gaoyuan?Minister of the Ministry of War!He wanted to inquire about the reserve camp, it was too simple!

When Tang Haoran came back from the expedition, he was only appointed as a deputy commander, and was overwhelmed by Yan Xu.He knew that the emperor was hindered by the strict government, so he endured it, but he didn't expect Yan Xu to target Haoran openly and secretly, and give him a disadvantage. He endured it for so long, how could he let it go?

"Your Majesty, ever since Haoran came back with his troops, Yan Xu has been staring at Haoran every day, finding fault with him. From time to time, in front of the soldiers, he punished and insulted Haoran, but Haoran endured it. Who made Haoran the deputy commander? Yesterday, Haoran There was a quarrel with Yan Xu, and Yan Xu said that Haoran did not listen to Shangfeng's orders and was defiant. He was taken down by the guards around him and hit [-] times hard. Haoran had several major and minor injuries on his expedition this time, and he just recovered , was beaten to pieces again, dying. Old minister, old minister is heartbroken! My family, Haoran, has always been diligent, only serving the country and the emperor, but ended up like this! Your majesty, I am willing to resign with Haoran and go home to farm."

Guo Heng's face suddenly changed, and he said loudly, "Go and take Yan Xu to the palace."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the steps himself and helped Tang Gaoyuan up with both hands.

"Tang Aiqing, don't worry, if what you said is true, I will definitely let Haoran decide."

He ordered someone to bring a chair, let Tang Gaoyuan sit down, and then returned to his seat.

"Master Yan, you are Commander Yan's elder brother, do you know about this?"

Yan Zheng didn't know about this at all, and his first reaction was that Tang Gaoyuan was going to do something.Because he thought he knew Yan Xu well, he was incapable and timid, and he didn't believe that he dared to beat Tang Haoran for a few words of quarrel.

Therefore, when Guo Heng asked him, he subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, there may be a misunderstanding about this matter."

"Misunderstanding?" Tang Gaoyuan stood up abruptly, "What misunderstanding is worth my son's punishment?"

Yan Zheng said indifferently: "Since you and I don't know the situation, it's better to wait for Yan Xu to come."

Tang Gaoyuan snorted coldly, "Just wait, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

Yan Xu came very quickly, knelt on the ground after entering the hall, and shouted long live.

Xu Chengze quietly looked at Yan Xu, who was in his 40s, tall and tall, dressed in military uniform, with a dark complexion.Just looking at the appearance, he looks like a reserve battalion commander.

He thought again, this Yan Xu has been in the reserve camp for so many years, even if he is an idiot, he should have been tainted.Guo Heng said: "Commander Yan, Deputy Commander Tang was injured, what's going on?"

Yan Xu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Tang Haoran is entirely to blame for this matter!"

"Oh? Tell me."

The facts he heard from Yan Xu's mouth were that Tang Haoran didn't take him seriously and contradicted him openly. In order to rectify discipline, he had to do something to Tang Haoran as a warning to everyone else.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Gaoyuan couldn't sit still.

He stood up, pointed at Yan Xu and said sternly: "You said Haoran contradicted you, why did he contradict you? Do you have any witnesses?" Yan Xu said: "Of course there are witnesses. Your Majesty, humble guards can testify for your ministers."

Tang Gaoyuan sneered: "Your guards naturally want to listen to you. Since you said that the incident happened on the school grounds, you should let all the soldiers testify!"

A flash of panic flashed in Yan Xu's eyes, he calmed down quickly, and said with a sneer, "Master Tang, do you know how many people were there in the school field that day? Tens of thousands of soldiers, how could they all be called to the hall?"

Tang Gaoyuan also hesitated. He wanted to win Tang Haoran's voice with all his heart, but he never thought about this issue.

Guo Heng said: "I don't want to wrong a good person, nor do I want any of my officials to be wronged. Since Commander Yan said that there are tens of thousands of witnesses, then I will go to the reserve camp! Anyway, the reserve camp will not leave. Far."

Yan Xu didn't expect that the emperor would not be afraid of trouble. When he was about to go to the reserve camp, he panicked. If the emperor went, what he did would not be covered. He looked at Yan Zheng for help.

Seeing Yan Xu's guilty look, Yan Zheng knew that things were definitely not what he said.Since I can't figure it out, why didn't I tell him in time when something happened, so that he can also be prepared?Yan Zheng was angry, but knew that this was not the time to settle accounts, so he could only give Yan Xu a hard look.Yan Xu is his younger brother, and the location of the reserve camp is too critical, so he has to help him.

"Your Majesty, the reserve battalion is too far away, so you go there rashly, in case something happens... I'd better let the minister prepare for it, and you go again?

"

Guo Heng smiled heartily, "The Grand Master is too worried. I have a bright future, what can happen? That's all right, dear friends

Let's all go with me, and we will also see the military power of our Daliang Dynasty.I don't know if you love me, would you like to accompany me?

"

After hearing the emperor's words, the courtiers were all excited and looking forward to it.

Although most of the people in the hall are civil servants, men always have a warlike factor in their bones.I heard that I was able to go to the military camp, and I was very much looking forward to it.

"The ministers are willing to accompany the emperor to the reserve camp."

Guo Heng laughed, "Teacher, look! Everyone is willing to go, so let's go!"

Yan Zheng had a very bad premonition in his heart. He felt that the matter was not that simple, but everyone wanted to go. If he said no, didn't it mean that Yan Xu had a problem, so he felt guilty?

He glanced over Ma Biao and Tan Xingyun, and seeing that they also had a look of anticipation on their faces, he knew he had to go. "The minister obeys the order."

The common people on Ping'an Street outside the palace had their eyesight. They saw a procession coming out of the palace, first the emperor's imperial chariot, then the lord's sedan chair and carriage, and some walked to the reserve camp.

Guo Heng wanted to let Xu Chengze ride with him, but he also knew that Xu Chengze would definitely not agree in front of so many ministers.But he was also worried about Xu Chengze, what if he didn't have a sedan chair and a carriage?The reserve camp is so far away, he is not willing to let Xu Chengze go

Row.

He quietly told Shuiyun to go and have a look, and he didn't feel relieved until Shuiyun came back and reported that Xu Chengze had gotten into Master Kong's carriage.

He didn't expect that such a cold person as Kong Qingshu would be willing to be close to and support Xu Chengze, this is also the fate of each of them.

Thinking of what he was going to do when he went to the reserve camp for a while, the corners of Guo Heng's mouth curled up again.

I really dozed off, so someone brought me a pillow.He had just discussed with Xu Chengze that he wanted to start with people around Yan Zheng, and Tang Gaoyuan came here.

However, Tang Haoran was originally his pawn in the reserve camp.The conflict between Yan Xu and him will erupt one day, one day sooner or later, but this day is earlier than he imagined.

Yan Zheng was sitting in a sedan chair, so he couldn't ride with Yan Xu, and he couldn't ask what was going on in front of too many people, so he could only lower his head and think about how he could excuse Yan Xu when he arrived at the reserve camp. .It's not that Yan Zheng doesn't believe in Yan Xu, it's that he knows Yan Xu's temperament.He looks honest, but in fact he is self-willed, easy to get into a dead end, and can't stand the stimulation of others.Originally, he thought it was a little strange that the emperor put Tang Haoran in the reserve camp, but now it became clear, the emperor must have been waiting for this day, right?

The fact that Kong Qingshu and Xu Chengze were riding in the same carriage made many officials lose their eyes and became even more convinced that this Xu Ruoxu was not someone to be trifled with.

Kong Qingshu looked at Xu Chengze with a relaxed expression, and secretly praised him in his heart. He was neither humble nor overbearing in the face of his boss's making things difficult, and he was not surprised by his own overtures. He has such a magnanimity at such a young age, no wonder the emperor treats him differently.

"Master Xu, what do you think of this matter?"

Xu Chengze was thinking about this matter, and when Kong Qingshu asked him, he subconsciously said: "In my opinion, what Tang Gaoyuan said must be true. Yan Xu was wrong, and Tang Haoran was hurt. It's just how much Yan Xu was wrong, and Tang Haoran was hurt. How heavy it is, you have to see it before you can tell.”

Kong Qingshu said with a smile: "Master Xu has seen it thoroughly."

Only then did Xu Chengze come to his senses, Kong Qingshu was in front of him.

He raised his hands and cupped his fists, "Master Hou, this lower official has spoken nonsense."

"No, you're right. If I'm not mistaken, Tang Haoran is a pawn placed by the emperor in the reserve camp. The purpose is to be Yan Xu, and even more so for the position of commander of the reserve camp."

"You can't hide everything from Lord Hou."

Kong Qingshu looked at him with a half-smile, "Could it be Master Xu's handwriting for this move?"

Xu Chengze smiled sheepishly, "At first, I just suggested that the emperor could send troops to assist Bei Zhou. As for the commander of the troops, I didn't

no interference.At that time, the emperor did not directly appoint, but asked the generals of the reserve battalion to invite Ying, Yan Xu did not go, Tang Haoran only went

"

〇

"That's what I said, but when Tang Haoran's class teacher returned to the court, he obviously won the battle and made great contributions, but he was still serving as the deputy commander of the reserve camp. Isn't this due to the good nephew?"

Xu Chengze rubbed his nose, "The next official is just a suggestion, and the final decision is made by the emperor."

Kong Qingshu laughed loudly, "Ruoxu, Benhou finally knows why the emperor likes you! Be modest and prudent, don't take credit, don't shirk, eh! With you by the emperor's side, the future life of Benhou will be easier!"

Kong Qingshu's words made Xu Chengze's face turn red all of a sudden, and he mumbled, "Master Hou is absurd."
