[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"...With the champion Hou Li Lian as the marshal, and Zhao Guogong He Qi as the general...Feng Zizhi, the eunuch who is in charge of the official seal, is the supervising army...Leading 45 soldiers to attack the Huns in the north and control the border...Announce the world, and the salty envoys will know, Qin here. Jinghe 11th May [-]th."

Li Lian has become a marshal in one leap!

Although in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the position of marshal was not permanent, it was temporary and not included in the official bureaucratic system of the imperial court, but it was the most dreamed position of countless generals in their lives.This not only means that Jane is in the emperor's heart, but also means that she is standing at the peak of the warriors of the Manchu dynasty.

what! ?

Li Lian was stunned.

It's just that the reason why he was confused was not that he was named Marshal, but that Huai Ning had heard wrongly, and actually heard that Xiaozhi was appointed as the supervisor of the army and was going to go north with him to the grassland! ?

Li Lian stared at Feng Zizhi standing aside in disbelief.

The young and beautiful new superintendent slightly turned his face away guiltily, not meeting Li Lian's eyes.

The emperor didn't know what was going on in his new Marshal's mind, so he took a step forward and said sincerely: "For this expedition, I will entrust all the affairs of the frontier to my two lovers, and I hope you will live up to me." Tightly He firmly held Li Lian's hand.

Live up to me?Don't blame me for what?

Live up to my expectations, calm down the grassland?

Or don't let me down, don't...do that infidelity and rebellion?

He Qi, who was mentioned by words but ignored by actions, was sensitive to the unfinished words of the emperor.

To be able to independently support the military for more than ten years after Niu Jin's death, and even make a peaceful transition to Li Lian, He Qi relied not only on his great prestige and the trust of the two emperors, but also on his extraordinary wisdom and outstanding political skills Sensitivity can always protect the military from many scheming shots in the court.It's just that, on weekdays, everyone only pays attention to the first two factors, while ignoring the last two of his excellences.

Before leaving for the expedition, the emperor actually had a suspicion of Jing Ya, this is really...

He Qi didn't show it on his face, but secretly shook his head greatly.

I want to resolve it, but there is no good way to immediately eliminate the emperor's suspicion.

He Qi couldn't help feeling worried.

And the Supreme Emperor, who was even more sensitive than He Qi, also twitched his eyelids, and cast a suspicious look at his own son.

Recalling the time when I made this decree, my son's expression was like a dead father...

It is said that children are the creditors of their parents in previous lives. The Supreme Emperor did not believe it in the past, but now he finds that he has to believe it!

His past life must not be as simple as ordinary debts, he must be the type who was poor, lost his wallet when walking, was robbed when he went out, and was owed wages when he was working part-time.

The Taishang Huang squeezed the emperor away at once, motioning him to cheer up the other soldiers, reminding himself that he must find a time to have a good chat with this stupid son.

The emperor felt wronged.

Father!Father!Xu Lilian is the marshal, and it is very dangerous to control the power of the border. I saw He Qi checking and balancing, so I recognized it with a pinch of my nose.You old man still wants Feng Yannian to be the supervisor of the army!I am not denying his ability, but what is a supervising army! ?Those who can restrain and suppress generals are called supervising troops!Can Feng Yannian do it! ?Can he! ?

It's all right now, you don't even allow me to say a few words and drive me away. Is I your real son, or Li Jingya is your real son! ?

Although he felt angry, but because of the "excessive power" of the emperor over the years, he had no choice but to hold his breath and encourage the other generals one by one.

According to the emperor who has been the emperor for decades, he has always been domineering, so he ignored the emperor's grievances.

Wronged?Not convinced?Hold on to me!

"Are you sure about this Northern Expedition?" Taishang Huang stared at Li Lian and asked.

Li Lian came back to his senses, and replied seriously: "Lian is not sure."

"Oh?" There was no surprise in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor.

Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and victory cannot be guaranteed without a large number of soldiers and strong horses.

The Taishang Emperor's eyes flashed, "I understand the difficulties of the Huns, but... I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the day when the grasslands will be included in the territory of the Great Zhou." Not only the Huns, but also the Turkic, Xianbei, and Rouran tribes. Take them all.

"Hu Hanxie is brave and heroic. He has the ambition to sweep the world. He judges the time and the situation. Those who follow the trend will live, and those who go against it will die. With his heart, he will spread the world, and with his ambition, he will be combined with the whole person. He is unstoppable. He is a great hero. "Even as an enemy, the Supreme Emperor had no choice but to give Hu Hanxie a very high evaluation.

"The Huns have spent decades recuperating, and now they are strong and strong. Under the leadership of Hu Hanxie, they have become the well-deserved overlords of the grassland. Moreover, the Hun soldiers under Hu Hanxie are no longer as usual. Instead, he practiced day and night, and it really became a climate." Although he abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, he still carefully read the information about the grassland in Dongchang.

Li Lian agrees: "The Huns grew up on horseback since they were young, and they are proficient in bowing horses. Among them, the eagle shooters can even form an army alone. It is really not to be underestimated." Having said that, he still has great respect for the strategists trained by himself. Have absolute confidence.

The Taishang Emperor's eyes glowed with fiery light, and he said confidently: "The harder it is to get something, the more it can arouse my ambition. At this moment, my body and mind seem to feel the heat of my youth. It is burning like a raging fire. !” Wearing a bright yellow nine-claw golden dragon robe, with hands on his back, he has a kind of disdainful temperament, as if a high-ranking god is looking down on all life.

Li Lian's eyes were sore.

Ever since the emperor lost his three sons in a sudden change in the palace ten years ago, Li Lian has never seen him look so high-spirited.

Li Lian was so excited that he knelt on the ground with one foot, and said sincerely: "Lian is willing to die for the emperor! This battle does not destroy the Xiongnu, and does not bring the grassland into the territory of the Great Zhou. Lian will never return to Beijing!"

He is not good at reading, and he has no interest in poetry. He only remembers a few poems that suit his taste.

He remembered that King Luo Bin of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem like this:

"In my life, I care about everything, and my spirit overflows the three armies.

The wild sun is divided into Ge Ying, and the sky and stars are united in sword writing.

The bow string embraces the Han moon, and the horse foot tramples on the dust.

If you don't want to survive, you can only repay the king with death. "

Li Lian thought that King Luo Bin's mood at that moment should be almost the same as his own, willing to spill blood on the battlefield for the sake of the emperor, and repay it with death.

This sudden expression of loyalty made the emperor next to him feel sour in his heart, and he knew it was like this when he muttered, his expression was extremely jealous.

But in the face of Li Lian's full loyalty, the Supreme Emperor not only did not appreciate it, but instead reprimanded him: "Stupid!"

Li Lian didn't know what he did wrong, so he was reprimanded like this.

He grabbed Li Lian's arm and wanted to pull him up, but he forgot that Li Lian was no longer the four-year-old child at that time. How could he pull Li Lian when he was nearly 65 years old?Not to mention that with the addition of armor, Li Lian now weighs more than 200 catties!

Li Lian was also afraid that the Supreme Emperor would back off, so he quickly stood up.

The Taishanghuang's five fingers formed into claws, firmly holding Li Lian's arm.

Without hesitation, he just reprimanded: "You are my minister, my lord of ten thousand households, and my great general! Could it be that I have trained you for so many years just to let you be shrouded in leather in this small battle?" !? I gave you the title of Champion, but I didn’t want you to have a champion-like ending!”

"My lord..." Li Lian's lips moved and murmured.

The Supreme Emperor clasped his arm even harder, the veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible, as if he wanted to use pain to make Li Lian remember his next words in his heart.

"Remember! To live is to be loyal. Only by living can we do more things!"

"I want to see with my own eyes the moment when my champion Hou returns triumphantly and accepts the admiration of all people! This is my will and must not be violated!" The Supreme Emperor began to regret why he was so cheap back then, so many metaphorical titles were not chosen However, he chose Champion Hou, a short-lived ghost who fought against the Huns, as his title.If there is time, he really doesn't mind making a decree to change Li Lian to a better title.

Obviously, this inviolable will is for Li Lian to protect his own life.

"Lian Lingzhi." Li Lian's nose was sour, and his eyes were full of tears.

The Taishanghuang smiled gratifiedly, his eyes were slightly red.

He pretended to complain and said, "The wind is really strong today, and the sand has blown into his eyes." Turning his face away, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Yes, the wind is really strong." Li Lian raised his foot in agreement, turned his face away, and wiped off the moisture on his face with the back of his hand.

As the leader of an army, he couldn't let his subordinates see him crying and crying.

After the Supreme Emperor patted Li Lian's arm, he walked towards He Qi without saying anything.

Li Lian understood what he hadn't said—come back alive.

While the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were inspiring the generals one by one, boosting morale, and buying people's hearts, the fourth, fifth, and sixth princes looked on enviously.

The fourth prince and the sixth prince really wanted to come out at this time and publish some passionate words, lashing out at Fang Chief. It's hard to say that the tiger's body was shocked, and the whole body exuded the aura of domineering. Li Lian and other generals bowed their heads and bowed.At least, they can show their own sense of existence and win a round of goodwill in the hearts of Li Lian and other generals.

Although it is said that the military will not participate in the battle for the reserve position, there will always be one or two who are eager to serve them from the merits of the dragon or for other reasons, and they know that their father was able to beat the prince's second uncle, uncle, Fourth Uncle, Ninth Uncle and other brothers succeeded in ascending to the position, but it depends on the strength of the military!

And the third prince didn't have as many thoughts in his heart as his two direct brothers, he just felt that the senior brothers in Tiance Mansion could go to the battlefield, but he could only stay in the capital as before, holding his breath, completely unable to use his abilities, so I just envy the brothers in Tiance Mansion.

But no matter what the three princes thought in their hearts, no matter how eager they were to go forward and talk to Li Lian and the others, if there was no call, they would never dare to take a half step forward.Know when and where it is!The Taishanghuang and the emperor are inviting people's hearts as emperors, but you dare to come forward and show off no matter what your status is! ?

Even if they are direct princes, even if they are crown princes, if they go forward without the emperor's permission, they will definitely not be able to afford it!

However, at this time, a character who "doesn't know death" came out that everyone didn't expect.

He was dressed luxuriously, reeked of alcohol, and was holding a jug and two priceless Ming Dynasty jade cups with lotus patterns in his hand, staggering but purposefully approaching Li Lian.

The Supreme Emperor frowned, but did not stop him.

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor had no intention of obstructing him, thinking of the grievances between Li Lian and the drunk young man, the emperor stood where he was, taking the time to see what his brother wanted.

"...Jia... Lian..." the drunk young man babbled.

He forced one of the jade cups into Li Lian's hand, then raised the flagon and poured a glass of wine for himself and Li Lian respectively.It's just that I don't know whether it's because of drunkenness or on purpose. The accuracy is very poor, and I only barely filled the glass half full, and most of the rest was poured on the back of Li Lian's hand.

"Drink!"

Li Lian was not angry, but looked at him calmly and said, "You are drunk."

"I didn't say anything! I'm not drunk!" The other party said with a big hand, looking sideways at Li Lian.

The Supreme Emperor in the distance glared at him displeasedly, just when he was about to stop drinking, but after hearing the next words of the drunken young man, he put down his hand in a slumped manner and let out a long sigh.

"I told you to drink it! Today is my ninth brother's death day anyway, you won't be so shameless!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience fell silent.

Li Lian shook the hand holding the jade cup, and soon relaxed again.

He pursed his lips and raised his neck, the jade cup was empty.

"Okay! It's refreshing!" The drunk young man clapped his hands and cheered.

He seemed to be unhappy in his heart, looking for faults on purpose, and said insistently: "Jia Lian! Now that you are successful and famous, father and emperor trust you the most, and the old seven relies on you for everything, you are the No. 1 in the court! ! My blunt ninth brother is really inferior to you!" The words were full of sarcasm.

This remark made many people present feel harsh and uncomfortable.The timid and relatively low-ranking officials bowed their heads deeply when they heard such "rebellious" words, for fear that others would notice them.

What does it mean that the Supreme Emperor trusts Li Lian the most! ?The emperor relies on Li Lian for everything! ?Li Lian is No.1 in the Manchu Dynasty! ?

The Supreme Emperor's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Before the Supreme Emperor got angry, another man whose face was somewhat similar to that of the drunk young man, but with a gentle and elegant demeanor stepped forward and pulled the drunk young man in three steps.

"Ten brothers, stop making trouble."

Seeing that it was him, the drunk young man couldn't help but soften his face, and muttered: "Mynah..."

"Champion Marquis, my younger brother has become ill after drinking, I apologize to you on his behalf." The man smiled gently at Li Lian apologetically.

It has to be said that even after ten years, the Eight Sage Kings are still the Eight Sage Kings who were praised by everyone in that dynasty.

That's right, these two are the original Ning Wang Li Tianjin and Kang Wang Li Tianying.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, apart from naming the late prince Li Tianyue as Prince Xiaozhao and eldest brother Li Tianhuang as Prince Yizhong, the titles of the other brothers were also changed.The current Ning Wang Li Tianjin and Kang Wang Li Tianying should be called Prince Zhongjing and Prince Zhongshun respectively.

"Tenth Brother, come into the palace with Myna! Concubine Huimu and Concubine Wen Guimu have prepared lotus cakes and lotus feasts and are waiting for us! They specifically told me to enter the palace with you early." Li Tianjin said nicely.

I don't know which sentence touched Li Tianying's nerves, he broke free from Li Tianjin's hand, and said stubbornly: "No! I won't enter the palace! I still want..."

Li Tianjin frowned for the first time, and said emphatically, "Tenth Brother, you're drunk! Go with myna!"

"No..." Li Tianying narrowed his eyes, and reached out to catch Li Lian.

Li Lian didn't even need to dodge, let him catch nothing, only a phantom.

He looked at his hands suspiciously, shook his head twice but became even more dizzy.

Li Tianying's head, which was drugged by alcohol, couldn't figure out why he couldn't catch Li Lian, so he just closed his eyes and fell on Li Lian as if desperate.

"Tenth brother!" Li Tianjin shouted nervously, but did not help Li Tianying.

If there was no one else in private, Li Lian could really walk away and let Li Tianying die.But in the public, he can't let a dignified prince fall in front of him, and he just ignores him, so he has no choice but to follow him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Li Lian opened his eyes wide.

"What? Are you proud of being in a high position when you are young, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Xiongnu, even the dignified Duke of Zhao Guo He Qi? I remind you kindly! If you win this battle, it is a meritorious service." Lord Gai; if you lose, you will be a sinner through the ages!" Li Tianying whispered in his ear.

Li Lian's eyes were fixed, and he looked down at him.

Li Tianying's eyes were full of malice, without a trace of drunkenness.

Li Lian felt cold all over, and pushed him away without saying a word.

Li Tianying seemed to be violently pushed away by him and shouted angrily: "Jia Lian! What the hell are you!? I tell you! Don't think you are very majestic! You are just a dog! You are just a father The running dog raised by the emperor! The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked! The father is waiting to see the day when the father is tired of you and you are slaughtered by the old seven for dog meat!"

"Enough!" The Supreme Emperor couldn't help shouting angrily after hearing Li Tianying's words getting worse and worse.

"Old Ten! Look at what you look like now!? The dignified prince drank heavily during the day, acted absurdly, and his words and deeds were shameless! What kind of decent!??" The Supreme Emperor was really angry. He originally thought he was sacrificing to protect his brother. For the sake of his ninth son, he only opened his eyes and closed his eyes, intentionally forgiving the old ten's actions, but how could the old ten say such heartbreaking words!

"Father, please calm down and take care of the dragon's body! The tenth younger brother lost his temper after drinking, and he didn't mean to talk nonsense." Li Tianjin, the elder brother, really had nothing to criticize, so she immediately stood up to excuse her younger brother.

"Tenth brother, why don't you apologize to the emperor quickly." He winked at Li Tianying.

Li Tianying understood, and took advantage of the situation and said: "My son was confused for a while, and I knew that I didn't do things right, so I asked my father to calm down."

If it had been changed to another time point, the Supreme Emperor might not have been so angry.But he just found out that his emperor's son was dissatisfied with Lian'er, and even questioned Lian'er's loyalty.Now my tenth son wants to say in public that the emperor's son relies on Lian'er in everything, and that the emperor's son is a dead dog. Influence.

What can the Supreme Emperor do in this situation?He is very desperate!

With a little composure, the Supreme Emperor could only cut through the mess quickly, "Go back to the palace, and copy the four books five hundred times each! If you don't finish copying, you can't even step out of the house for a day!!!" Eight, the old ten stuffed back into their own mother's stomach.

Don't think that the Supreme Emperor can't see that the two brothers seem to have no intentions, but in fact they have premeditated, and they sing together.The two of them have been in peace for so many years, Zensheng went crazy and jumped out for no reason!

Sure enough, the children are all debt collectors, and none of them let me worry about it!
