Tao Bao's Ancient Happy Life

In the third year of Tianyao, at the beginning of May, the first military generals competition began. This is the first time Tianyao held a competition. There are clear rewards and punishments. , and the victorious soldier will also have a mysterious gift.

This group of military generals are all old and rough, and they are all gearing up when they hear this. Who doesn't want to stay in a place with good conditions, who wants to be a soldier in the bitter cold and suffer the crime, and finally they are all eager to try.

Tao Bao saw that the generals were all in good spirits, so he smiled and thought: It seems that his idea is good. This not only gives the generals confidence, but also gives them a sense of urgency. This group of officers and soldiers hadn't participated in such a competition for a long time, and they all looked like militants.

The children around me were fine at first, but they didn't know what was wrong, so they heard Li Chaofan say: "See, the young master's father is the most prestigious here."

Three-year-old Song Qingyu stood up when Li Chaofan praised his father, "My father is the most powerful king. You see, he looks better than your father."

Song Qingyu's words amused the civil servants and military generals present. The child of emotion thought that the good-looking was the most powerful.

Tao Bao couldn't stand the scene where the soldiers below the viewing platform were fighting, but the audience was pinching. In the end, he just lay down on the table and secretly laughed. Looking carefully, his shoulders were shrugging slightly. Huo Jianhui was very helpless on the side, there was no way he had seen this kind of scene a lot, only Tao Bao would be teased by these children every time, and sometimes his stomach hurt from laughing, but he was thinking about his wife The child is in a good mood, and the pain of pregnancy will be relieved, right?

Tao Bao laughed enough, raised his head and saw the two children pinching their waists for a fight, he coughed loudly on purpose, saw the two children look back together, then immediately straightened their backs and came over with their bellies outstretched. He bent over beside him and called out: "Sir" and then sat down beside Zixuan in a respectful manner.

The few female relatives present were all good at martial arts, such as Zhang Caimei and Zhao Xiu'e. After they took a look, Zhao Xiu'e said: "I didn't expect my bear son to be so obedient. It's strange."

Zhang Caimei said with a smile: "This is called one thing and one thing. Seeing that you are not mischievous, it is useless to Brother Bao."

Zhao Xiu'e nodded: "Well, no wonder my son doesn't make such a fuss when he comes home now. This book is not in vain, and my son Xiong probably won't be much worse in the future."

Facing the two women chattering there, Tao Bao didn't care so much, he was thinking about the next game, just now Huo Xiaotian had already waved for the soldiers below to start.

Tao Bao looked at the people below seriously, but after watching for a while, it became meaningless. It turned out that the performances were all showy, and even the weapons in his hands were replaced by wooden sticks and wooden knives. The inconsistency can be clearly understood at once, but then it directly becomes who has the loudest voice. Although this era is in the era of the convergence of cold and hot weapons, if the opponent is holding a bird gun on the battlefield, you are shouting loudly. Embolden yourself, and you are also the master of killing with one shot.

Finally, Tao Bao couldn't stand it any longer. He turned around and said something to Huo Jianhui, and saw Huo Jianhui take out a rifle from Huo Yi behind him, and fired a shot at the sky, which immediately stopped all the soldiers in the field. Under the hands of the 'fight'.

Huo Jianhui said loudly: "Now the rules have been changed. From now on, two teams will compete with each other. First, the military will be compared. The general who leads the team will issue orders, and the soldiers will execute them. How can you kill the enemy if you act like this? Now start drawing lots, and whoever catches them will fight against them." After speaking, he beckoned a few soldiers leading the team, and then wrote down two sets of the same numbers in front of him, and asked them to fight whoever caught them. For the opposite performance, the bonus this time is a thousand taels of silver.

The generals below were all excited this time. The general who led the team saw the numbers in his hands. After finding the opponent, he went back and studied how to fight. During this period, there was a break of two quarters of an hour.

Huo Jianhui came to Huo Xiaotian's side. The two of them didn't know what they said, but seeing Huo Xiaotian nodding directly, it was already confirmed that he was in favor of this matter.

Tao Bao didn't care so much, he sat there eating snacks, and at the same time carefully looked at the expressions of those civil servants. You don't need Tao Bao to say that just looking at the expressions of those people, you can tell that they disdain these military officers, and some are even sneering. Tao Bao knew that these civil servants claimed to be clean, but they forgot that if there were not so many military officers out there defending their homes and the country, how would they be able to live a good life today.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Guiqing, the servant of the household department, and Tao Bao put down the apple in his hand and wiped his hands, "Why is Mr. Lin interested in these generals' competitions, why don't you also try with these generals?"

When Lin Guiqing heard this, she scolded Tao Bao's ancestors for three generations in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Commander Tao is joking, I am a mere civil servant, how can I be an opponent of a military officer?"

Tao Bao nodded: "Master Lin said that civil servants and military generals have always been loyal to the country since ancient times. Military officers defended the country and expanded the territory, while civil officials assisted His Majesty in governing the country and defending the majesty of the heavenly family. But ah, if this is changed If the military officer is transferred back to the country to govern the country, it won’t take long to get started, but if the civilian officer is sent to the frontier, it may not take a day for the gate of the country to be trampled by the enemy’s iron hooves, don’t you think so?”

Tao Bao's words were not loud, but it was very simple. He was helping Huo Xiaotian to calm down the conflicts between civil servants and military generals. Civil officials took themselves too seriously, while military officials were not. If they help govern the country, as long as they study hard for a period of time, I believe they will not be inferior to civil servants. If civil servants go to the battlefield with a pen, they don’t need to talk about soldiers on paper. understandable.

In fact, Tao Bao took the servant of the household department to operate. The main reason for this was that every time the servant of the household department went to Beizhen Fusi to ask for the money allocated to them by the emperor, he would obstruct him in every possible way, always crying and saying no, But he knows better than anyone else whether there is money in the treasury. To put it bluntly, he doesn't give him face. Today it fell into his hands, and he didn't take the opportunity to clean him up. Besides, the emperor is now trying to adjust the conflicts between civil servants and generals. He pretended to be there again, and he was not the only one who saw the military officers present. He stepped forward to help the generals vent their anger, which was equivalent to helping Huo Jianhui and standing on the side of the generals.

Huo Xiaotian already hated these civil servants always looking for trouble when they were free. He knew what was wrong with Lin Guiqing when he heard Tao Bao say this today, so he took advantage of this occasion to say: "Now the military officers have conducted drills. Let the civil servants practice it tomorrow." As for the practice, it's hard to say, it depends on the emperor's intention.

When the people present heard this, they all gave Lin Guiqing a hard look. The civil servants were angry that he was looking for trouble for nothing, while the military officers were gloating. Don't stop if we are not idle.

In this way, Tao Bao successfully took advantage of Huo Jianhui's influence to deal with Lin Guiqing. In fact, the reason why he dealt with him was that Lin Guiqing not only lied to others, but also secretly used the 100 million taels of silver in the treasury for disaster relief. He moved 20 taels to build a family temple. This matter is big or small. He thought about returning the money from the treasury when he was greedy enough, but how could Tao Bao give him this opportunity? The two of you have already reported it, Tao Bao brought it up today at the behest of Huo Xiaotian, who told him to be the commander of Beizhen Fusidu!

For the rest of the time, Tao Bao watched the games off the field with great interest, and asked Huo Jianhui for advice from time to time. Huo Jianhui is a person who has been immersed in / obscenity / military skills all the year round, and he answered Tao Bao's questions one by one, and then He didn't forget to explain the mysteries of these formations to his son. Tao Zixuan listened with gusto. He even raised his fist and said, "I want to be as powerful as my father in the future."

A few children who were watching the fun immediately followed suit and said, "We will grow up to be as powerful as our father."

After hearing this, Tao Bao couldn't help but said: "What are you learning from your father?" Tao Bao can do whatever the occasion as long as he can amuse himself.

Li Chaoran stood up and said: "I want to learn from my father to be a resourceful person."

Li Chaofan patted his small chest and said: "I want to learn from my father to be a world-class martial artist."

Kid Jingsheng glanced at Tao Bao, then at Tao Zixuan and said, "I want to be a good son, be filial to my little daddy and father, and take good care of little brother Zixuan, so that they don't have any worries."

Tao Zixuan said proudly: "I want to be as powerful as the emperor's grandfather and become an emperor through the ages. Like my father, I will lead thousands of troops to sweep across the enemy's country. I will also be like my little daddy, compassionate and caring for the world."

As soon as Tao Zixuan's words came out, the people present couldn't help applauding the child, saying, "Okay, with ambition, the son will be famous all over the world in the future." Everyone present can see that this child will It must be extraordinary, such a remark at such a young age won the hearts of the people.

Huo Xiaotian was even more pleased that his grandson praised him as the emperor of the ages, he liked this title, and then said loudly: "Okay, have ambition, reward."

After hearing this, Tao Zixuan said: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, can I give your reward to those children who have no parents, no food and clothing?"

Huo Xiaotian heard it: "Are you trying to give your reward to the child from the H River flood?"

Tao Zixuan nodded: "Well, I heard my little daddy tell us yesterday that the children there have no food to eat and no clothes to wear, so I just want to give them my reward. I live a very good life now, unlike in the It’s time for Taojiazhuang.”

After Huo Xiaotian heard this, he said, "Okay, my son has a heart for the world at such a young age, I'm sure." Just because of Huo Xiaotian's words, Tao Zixuan at such a young age shouldn't be Huo Zixuan's kid who became famous all of a sudden. He laid the foundation for being a good emperor in the future.

And Song Qingyu, who was in a hurry, saw that others expressed his wishes, so he said in a hurry: "When I grow up, I want to be a person who goes to other people's houses to eat and drink like my father and king."

. . . . . .

As soon as he uttered these words, the audience was silent, and then there was a burst of laughter, even Tao Bao couldn't stop laughing, but the instigator simply didn't know what he said, and was still complacent.

Song Zishan, the king of Xiaoyao, didn't know his precious son's bold words, and was urging his troops below to fight this battle well. When he returned to the stage, he saw everyone watching him laughing, so he couldn't help but say: : "What are you laughing at? Do I have flowers on my face?"

Zhang Qiurui and Gao Jinghong came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zishan, you have a good son!"

Song Zishan didn't know that his precious son had given him a 'prestige', so he said proudly: "That is, I don't know whose son it is!" Song Zishan became arrogant.

The brothers sitting next to Huo Jianhui, especially Tao Bao, laughed when they heard it, but no one told him what was going on. In the end, Song Zishan realized something was wrong, but no one asked them. Telling him the truth, he couldn't help but brought his son over and asked, "My dear son, you just gave your father a face, tell me how you gave your father a face?"

When Song Qingyu heard this, she straightened her waist and said, "I mean, when I grow up, I want to be a person who eats and drinks like my father."

. . . . . .

The brothers around me couldn't stand up when they saw the interaction between Song Qingyu and Song Zishan. Song Zishan gritted his teeth and said, "Good son, you are really promising, and you really look good on your father." Waiting to go home See if I don't clean up yours.

At this time, Tao Bao took Song Qingyu's IOU and handed it to Song Zishan: "Then, this is the IOU for your son to pay me half of your salary. When the salary is paid this month, please send it here. I am not in good health now. It's convenient, I'll trouble you."

Deng Zian snatched it over, opened the IOU and looked at the crooked Song Qingyu's name on it, couldn't help laughing and fell on Gao Jinghong's body, Zhang Qiurui took it over and took a look: "Well, the name is really not very good .”

Even Huo Jianhui couldn't help but twitched his lips. Seeing Tao Bao's prank, Song Zishan, who was looking at the bitter face, silently lit a candle for him. It would be considered bad luck for him to fall into Tao Bao's hands. !

Song Zishan picked up his son and said: "Son, you said that you were with your little aunt, and you had to help count the money after being sold. What will happen to your future!" Song Zishan was worried!

When Tao Bao heard this, he was depressed, why did he become someone else's little aunt again?

A group of people were chatting and laughing there. At this time, the soldiers below were also getting ready. Their respective leaders and generals had just finished drawing lots, and the competition was played in order. Tao Bao and the others were on the top, which no one else saw. In the corner, betting is being made, who will win?The one who guesses wrong invites the one who guesses right to eat.

Everyone agrees that Li Xiangwu's army of mighty generals will win, and Song Zishan himself thinks that the army of Xiaoyao Palace will win. In fact, there are not many soldiers in Xiaoyao Palace, only 1, but they are outsiders guarding the capital. A team from the five counties is very important to defend the capital, and it is also Huo Xiaotian's right-hand man, so it is very important. Huo Xiaotian didn't give him a fief alone, just let him stay in the capital. No, not even King Xiangyang can compare.

During the match, Tao Bao almost fell asleep watching it, but fortunately he thought he respected the generals very much, so he insisted on staying awake, but unexpectedly, this time it was Song Zishan and Li Xiangwu who fought It was a tie, the brothers saw it, and decided to come out for a drink together tomorrow, Tao Bao said grandly: "I'm treating you." The brothers nodded happily: "That's kind." Unexpectedly Tao Bao said, "Anyway, it's not me who takes the money, so someone will settle the account." Then he handed Li Chaofan's IOU to Li Xiangwu who came over.

But Li Xiangwu looked at it, okay? His son would casually write IOUs outside at a young age. This is not bad, so he was caught by Li Xiangwu directly, and he went up with two feet: "Damn it, you can also learn to write like me." I owe you, let me go back and squat, I will not get up unless I say stop, get out."

Li Chaofan ran towards his old mother while rubbing his butt, and said in front of Zhao Xiu'e, "Mom, dad hit me."

After reading it, Zhao Xiu'e said directly: "Okay, hit it lightly, if I do, I will give you two kicks."

There was a fight here, and the rewards over there were ready. Under Huo Xiaotian's cough, the arena was very quiet. After a while, a soldier moved wooden boxes one by one to the middle of the arena. After opening them They were all guns. Huo Jianhui stood beside these boxes, took out a gun, opened the safety and loaded it with bullets. He shot at the bird flying in the sky, and the bird fell to the ground.

After Tao Bao saw it, he couldn't help but nodded in surprise: "Moving target?"

Huo Jianhui put down the gun in his hand and said: "From tomorrow onwards, these guns belong to the Li family army under the command of the mighty general, and there are also soldiers from the victorious King Xiaoyao. Next, the family will follow."

Li Jiajun was immediately happy when he heard it. They used to stay here and didn't want to leave at all. Now they are still in place, all of them are happy, and there are new firearms available, which is really good. Of course, Xiaoyao Wang The generals in the army also have similar ideas with Li Jiajun.

When Pingnan Wang Zhao Huailie heard this, he sighed, but he still said in front of all the courtiers: "My old Zhao is willing to admit defeat, but I swear that it is definitely not my true strength now. We will compete in two years."

All the princes and generals clasped their fists together and said, "Okay, we will compete in two years."

Facing their open-mindedness, Tao Bao admired them very much. He turned his head and looked at some of the civil servants opposite, and each of them could not help but show admiration. Bao knew that there was still hope for these people, and looking at the disdainful faces of Lin Guiqing and his group, Tao Bao shook his head: There is no hope!
