The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

It's been a long time since I was criticized face to face like this, Bai Yu didn't feel used to it for a while, she was silent for a moment and simply said: "Okay, it's my fault, I apologize to you."

Mo Yu said: "I accept King Liang's apology."

Bai Yu turned his head away and stopped talking.

The root of the tooth is a little itchy.

If this is a prince with a temper, can he still have your good fruit in the future?He thought bitterly.

The emperor was not angry, but praised: "An official must be so defiant of power, and cannot keep silent about his lord's mistakes because of the disparity in status. What I want is a minister who dares to speak, not a submissive slave."

This year's champion of martial arts is very individual, he confronted Liang Wang face to face, but got the emperor's affirmation, such things spread like wildfire in the streets and alleys.Bai Yu felt that he was so shameless that he didn't even want to see the compliments of Jinshi.

"What's so rare, it's not like I haven't won the number one prize before."

Qiu Ye really wanted to join in the fun, but he didn't dare to leave without Bai Yu.Bai Yu glanced at him, waved his hands impatiently, "Go if you want!"

Naturally, Yan Xun didn't go, and Imperial Physician Lin didn't make him too tired, so he could only join in the fun in the residence.

"What's the name of this year's No. [-] martial artist?" Yan Xun asked.

"Moyu."

"……what is it call?"

"Moyu." Chunyujing repeated with a suppressed smile, "I heard that this man is so arrogant that he dared to say anything. On the second day of the palace examination, he accused King Liang to his face, saying that he was late and returned early, and he was sleepy. I praised him. It is rare to see Liang Wang being wronged."

Yan Xun didn't smile, but frowned and remained silent.

Chun Yujing immediately stopped laughing, "What's the matter, General?"

Yan Xun was silent for a moment, then asked him, "How old is he? How does he look?"

"Yesterday was the first day of boasting officials. The general went to have a look. The funny thing was that when he was riding under a teahouse, he was hit by a tea cup dropped by someone, and he was drenched in tea. His complexion turned dark." Chunyu Jing laughed for a long time, and then said, "It's only about 20, and it looks good, and it's a bit mad, it's the type that girls like most when they're in love."

Yan Xun didn't speak again.

Chunyujing reacted abruptly, and hurried back to make amends, "But it's not necessarily true. It's too arrogant to look at and makes people uncomfortable."

Yan Xun still didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, General, he won't. He's only a fifth-rank man. How could the King of Liang like him? Besides, he might not just like men."

No matter what Chun Yujing said, the thorn in Yan Xun's heart was planted.But when Mo Yu came to see him, he controlled it very well, but quietly speculated from Mo Yu's words and deeds the possibility that Bai Yu had taken a fancy to him.

And the more he speculated about Yan Xun, the heavier his heart became.

There is a sense of arrogance in Mo Yu, but it is not to the point of frivolity, so this kind of arrogance has added a unique charm to him.It is impossible for him to ask Yan Xun if he likes a man, and he can't tell, anyway, he doesn't look at the maids who come and go.

What's more, Moyu is 25 this year, only one year older than Baiyu.

Yan Xun has a strong intuition, and this is the type Bai Yu likes.As for myself, it was an accident.

"25 years old. Young and promising." Yan Xun said.

"The last general dare not. I heard that a general can command thousands of troops at the age of seventeen or eighteen."

He said so, but Yan Xun could clearly feel that the light in his eyes was not flattery, but a kind of excitement that was eager to try.

This man is ambitious.

Mo Yu began to formally go to court.When all the officials were waiting for the door to open outside Donghua Gate, everyone was very interested in this newcomer, but Bai Yu stood alone far away.

Mo Yu chatted with other ministers for a while, then suddenly walked towards Bai Yu.

"His Royal Highness Liang Wang."

"When I'm wearing an official uniform, I should be called Prime Minister." Bai Yu said.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Mo Yu nodded, "I didn't intend to offend you on the day of the imperial examination, so please forgive me, Prime Minister."

Bai Yu looked him in the eyes, smiled and said, "I really shouldn't be late and leave early and feel drowsy, you're right. It's just that if you have anything to say in private in the future, you have to save face for others, right? ?”

"The end will be remembered."

In fact, Mo Yu's character is quite pleasing.No matter what time it is, it is better to be open-minded than double-decker.

"Today is your first time going to court. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me after it's over."

"Thank you for the photo, Prime Minister."

Bai Yu suddenly asked, "By the way, where are you from? The accent sounds familiar."

"The end general has been wandering since he was a child, and he has made his home all over the world. He has been everywhere. The place where he stayed the longest is Zhouji, and his accent is more like that."

"Hey? Isn't that a coincidence, I also lived there for two years when I was a child! When did you live there?"

Mo Yu said: "About eight or nine years old, I left when I was 12 years old."

"You are 25 this year, so I should have been there when you were eight or nine."

Mo Yu was also a little surprised, "Is it true?"

"Yeah, I'm only one year younger than you, and I was in Zhouji when I was eight or nine years old." Bai Yu thought about it, "Do you remember that there was a famine one year, and a man was tied to the execution platform at the north gate of Zhouji?" Two Taoist priests, one big and one small?"

Mo Yu immediately said: "I remember, General Mo passed by when he was digging grass roots. General Mo's father wanted to bring some water to the two Taoist priests, but was chased away by the yamen servants next to him."

Bai Yu opened her eyes wide, "That little Taoist is me!"

Just as the Donghua Gate was about to open, another carriage stopped.The curtain of the car was lifted, and Yan Xun came out from inside.

"General?!" Chun Yujing hurried over in surprise, "The general's body hasn't fully recovered yet, why did he suddenly come to court?"

Yan Xun said indifferently: "Going to court, not going to the battlefield."

"That's still inappropriate."

Chun Yujing wanted to persuade him again, the Donghua Gate had already been opened, and all the officials began to enter in order, so he couldn't say anything more.

The emperor was surprised to see Yan Xun's sudden arrival, and said, "Shouldn't you be resting at home?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the body of the minister has recovered, so there is no need to delay the official business."

The emperor was still not at ease, "You will have to stand for a long time, if you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up."

"Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Bai Yu glanced at him quietly, Yan Xun's complexion was quite good, healthy and ruddy.

Nothing major happened today, and the emperor didn't want the morning court to last too long, so he ended it as soon as possible, urging Yan Xun to go home and rest.

After the emperor left, all the officials also left in order of rank.Mo Yu was standing at the bottom of the general, when Bai Yu passed by him, Mo Yu said: "Prime Minister, the last general has a question I want to ask."

Bai Yu nodded and said, "I'll be waiting for you."

Yan Xun was walking beside him and heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.

"You know him well?" he asked.

Unexpectedly, when he heard Yan Xun's words, Bai Yu subconsciously froze, Fang said: "He just came to the court, as the prime minister, I am naturally obliged to give some help."

Yan Xun's eyes dimmed, "He should ask me about the general, shouldn't he?"

"...you are still taking care of your body."

"It's just a few questions, I won't be exhausted." Yan Xun blurted out coldly.

Bai Yu stopped and looked at him, her face darkened.

Yan Xun didn't know why he suddenly said that. His original intention was not like this at all, but reason did not restrain the emotions that were difficult to restrain when facing Bai Yu again.

Yan Xun closed his eyes and explained dejectedly, "I mean..."

Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, Mo Yu had already caught up behind him.

"Prime Minister! The last general...the great general is here too." Mo Yu stopped talking, "If the prime minister and the great general have something to say, the last general will leave first."

"No, the general is just saying goodbye to me." Bai Yu glanced at Yan Xun, and motioned Mo Yu to leave with him.

Chun Yujing quietly walked behind Yan Xun.

"Do you deserve it?" Yan Xun asked him looking at the backs of the two people leaving.

"what?"

Yan Xun turned around, "A good match? The two of them."

Chunyu Jing was speechless.

"Prime Minister, why are there so few generals in the court? They are only half of the number of civil servants."

Bai Yu said: "There are few military generals, and some of them have gone out to guard the border. Those below the fifth rank in Beijing are not allowed to go to court, and there are still many official positions above the fifth rank that are still vacant."

"Oh? What are there?" Mo Yu asked immediately.

"In addition to the general of the second rank, there is a general from the second rank. This seat has been vacant since Cen An's death. There are four generals in the front, right, left, and rear of the third rank. They are all full. There are also generals Dingyuan and Yun Hui. The general is empty. On the fourth rank, there are the generals of the four towns, east, west, north, south, and general Guide. After Chunyu Xuan’s death, he will be Chunyu Jing. Then there is the general Zhongwu on the fifth rank, which is you.”

Mo Yu made some calculations and said, "The general feels that the generals' staff is a bit small."

"It's a bit small, and this is what the emperor has already added." Bai Yu sized him up for a moment, then smiled, "Why, do you want to add some more?"

Mo Yu shook his head and said, "How dare the last general overstep."

"It's okay. I have a series of reform measures. Among them, the military and political part has not yet been implemented due to the general's health. After a while, I will start promoting some generals to enrich the court, and the establishment will continue to expand."

Mo Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "I heard that the Great General used to have two."

When mentioning this past event, Bai Yu frowned slightly, and said: "Yes. The real full name of the position of the General is the General of Zhenguo. For some reasons, the emperor divided this position into two, and one is called the Protector of the Country. General, one is called the General of the Fuguo, and Cen An was once the Grand General of the Fuguo. But after his death, Brother Huang no longer intends to confer the title of two great generals."

"Then, how much military exploits will it take to... become a general?" Mo Yu asked.

Bai Yu froze for a moment, then looked at him in surprise.

Mo Yu's eyes were very serious, revealing a faint drive to win.

Bai Yu smiled slightly, and said, "You're the top general? From what you're saying, you're aiming for the position of the top general."

Mo Yu nodded without hesitation, and said: "Naturally, we must try our best to do our best in everything, otherwise it is better not to do it. Is it a man to do it?"

There was a little more approval in Bai Yu's eyes, "Well said. Now that you have set a goal for yourself, just work hard and don't count exactly how much you have to do to succeed, otherwise you will never succeed."

"The general understands." When Mo Yu smiles, he is used to raising the left corner of his mouth first, matching with those sharp red phoenix eyes. If he is not wearing this official uniform, his demeanor looks like a farmer blocking the way to pass by. The king of the mountain who won't let the girl go.

Bai Yu laughed as he thought about it.
