Learn a magical skill every year, and start with Xiao Li Fei Dao

"Hmph, forget it."

Sister-in-law swung her long skirt and walked away with her plump hips twisted.

Don't go, sister-in-law, let's talk again!

I still want to see more of your three-point shots...

Xiao Ping'an wanted to cry but had no tears.

What he said was indeed the truth.

...

The next day.

Early morning court.

In the court, civil and military officials were on par.

The Champion Marquis had a face as beautiful as a crown of jade, was nine feet tall, and stood in the center position among the military generals, wearing a set of armor that was so bright that it could blind people's eyes.

Emperor Jing on the dragon throne smiled and said: "During this expedition to Shu, Marquis Guanjun defeated the Mengwu Army led by Fan Wubing on the battlefield, severely injured the main general of the Mengwu Army, Fan Wubing, and recaptured the three states occupied by Shu. He has made great contributions. My dear ministers, what do you think should be done to reward Marquis Guanjun?"

"I propose..."

"I propose..."

"I propose..."

A bunch of ministers spoke out.

Obviously, the ministers saw that Emperor Jing wanted to reward Marquis Guanjun, so they all rushed to speak up and say good things for Marquis Guanjun.

They hoped to get the attention of His Majesty after flattering him.

But, at this moment, there was an exception.

This person was none other than the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Fan Ren. Well, his son, Fan Xian, had met Xiao Ping'an once.

After Fan Ren stepped out of the line, he bowed to Emperor Jing and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Whatever you have to say, just say it."

Emperor Jing sat on the dragon throne, looked down at him and said lightly.

Fan Ren did not stop until he said something shocking: "What I want to say is that the Marquis of Guanjun not only has no merit, but has a big fault. This time, the Marquis of Guanjun led an army of 350,000 to attack Shu. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he led 350,000 people out, but only brought back 3,000 people. Your Majesty, the Marquis of Guanjun is a prodigal son. He lost a total of 347,000 people in my Daqian army. With such a loss of troops and generals, he still wants to be rewarded. Where is justice?"

Hearing this, the ministers who had boasted about the Marquis of Guanjun before all stopped. The Daqian army has lost so many people. Would the well-informed officials not know? They must know.

However, they are all smart people, each one is smarter than the other. The stupid ones would have been removed long ago and would not have stayed in this magnificent palace.

It can be said that the imperial examination is a situation where thousands of troops walk on a single-plank bridge, allowing a small group of the smartest people to become officials.

And this court, which gathers civil and military officials, is selected again from a small group of the smartest people... The extremely smart people, it can be said that those who can stand here, in terms of IQ, are definitely the existence of 99% of the people outside.

These ministers knew clearly, and even they knew about the loss of the champion marquis. They took out 350,000 troops, but only brought back a pitiful 3,000 people, and these 3,000 people were obviously the private army of the champion marquis.

The others were all killed in battle. Would Emperor Jing not know?

He must have known, but the emperor knew it, but did not mention it, and was still smiling... This is terrible.

This proves that Emperor Jingdi didn't care about the loss of more than 340,000 troops. Since the emperor didn't care, why should they, the ministers, care?

Is it because women are no longer fun?

Or is it because they make too much money?

Why worry so much?

This is Emperor Jingdi's kingdom, not theirs. If the emperor is not anxious, why should they be anxious?

Emperor Jing looked surprised, his face darkened, and he said loudly: "Zhao Xiao, is this true?"

"Your Majesty, it is true."

Marquis Guanjun knelt on the ground, "I am terrified. I have lost many soldiers and generals in this northern expedition. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"You are so good, Zhao Xiao. You made me lose 340,000 troops. Don't you know how much damage these soldiers' deaths will cause to our Daqian? How many women in Daqian will lose their husbands, how many old people will lose their children, and how many children will lose their fathers. Zhao Xiao, Zhao Xiao, you really shouldn't have done that."

Emperor Jing said with a sad face.

"I know my crime."

Marquis Guanjun bowed and bowed his head.

He put on an appearance of "I really know I was wrong."

'Your Majesty, I have something to say. '

Just then, a middle-aged civil servant stood up.

Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "Lord Wen, what do you want to say?"

Wen Zhengwen said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Guanjun lost 340,000 troops, but he won. He not only took back the three states that were taken away from Shu, but also defeated Fan Wubing. You know,Fan Wubing is the backbone of Shu. He not only killed General Xiao Zhan, the pillar of our Daqian, but also defeated three of our Daqian's generals in a row within three months...

Now, Guanjun Hou has broken this backbone and broken the myth of the invincibility of the Mengwu Army led by Fan Wubing in Shu, making the Shu army dare not invade our Daqian territory again.

As the saying goes, a clay pot will break if it is not separated from the well. It is inevitable that a general will die in battle. In war, casualties are inevitable. For a general to lead the army to fight and win is the most important thing. Other things should be ranked behind... Therefore, I think that Guanjun Hou did nothing wrong in this attack on Shu and should be rewarded heavily. ”

“Please forgive me for not agreeing with Lord Wen’s words. The saints said…”

Another white-haired minister stepped out and challenged Marquis Guanjun.

Marquis Guanjun glanced at him coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

“I have something to say…”

“I think…”

“…”

In this way, in order to decide whether Marquis Guanjun should be rewarded or punished, the court of Daqian gradually turned into a market. A group of ministers spoke enthusiastically, discussed excitedly, and argued so much that a fight almost broke out.

When all the ministers who wanted to speak were gone, After all the statements were made.

Emperor Jing said calmly: "Marquis Guanjun suffered heavy casualties, and he shall be fined three years of salary... Marquis Guanjun defeated Fan Wubing, seriously injured Fan Wubing, and recaptured the three states of Daqian. He is meritorious. Therefore, Marquis Guanjun is awarded the title of the first-class Shenwu General, and is ordered to be granted the title of Earl, and is rewarded with the fiefdom of Lingwu County..."

Marquis Guanjun was overjoyed and kowtowed to Emperor Jing: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."

...

Hao Family.

Hao Niu's Study.

Fan Ren, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, said in confusion: "Old Prime Minister, why did you let me speak against Marquis Guanjun at the morning court today?"

That's right, Fan Ren and Marquis Guanjun have no grudges against each other. The reason why he tore open Marquis Guanjun's bloody wound in the court today was because of Hao Niu's instructions.

If he hadn't opened Marquis Guanjun's "scar" today. "

I'm afraid that the ministers who know that the Marquis of Guanjun has defeated more than 300,000 troops are still pretending to be deaf and dumb!

Hao Niu smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "Before answering your question, let me ask you a few questions.

In the storybook, there must be protagonists and villains, not to mention in the court.

Since ancient times, why has every country and every court had factional disputes? To the people below, everyone says that officials fight against each other.

To the top, in the Golden Palace, civil and military officials, but the party is united to fight against the dissidents, and the struggle is eternal?"

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Fan Ren showed a thoughtful look.

"Remember, no matter which emperor is in power, he doesn't like it when there is only one voice in the court. If so, then the emperor will have no sense of security. Why is the court divided into one faction and another, and a group of ministers are playing party disputes all the time?

It's not that everyone likes to fight, but to make His Majesty feel at ease. ”

“During this attack on Shu, everyone knows that His Majesty wants to arrange for Marquis Guanjun to take the throne. I am also happy that Marquis Guanjun is in the throne. After all, his taking the throne will not cause any loss to us. However, Marquis Guanjun is close to the Jiangnan clans. We, the Kyoto clans, can't just do nothing, right? If we remain indifferent, it is not us who took action, but His Majesty who took action. ”

“Yes, teacher, I understand.” Fan Ren nodded, and then, as if he thought of something, he said with a bitter face: ‘But, teacher, those who know Marquis Guanjun know that this person will take revenge for the slightest grievance. Today, in the court, I took the lead in exposing his scars and have completely offended him. Will he retaliate against me?’

Hao Niu shook his head with a firm face, “No, Marquis Guanjun seems rude, overbearing, arrogant, and arrogant...but these are just his disguises.

In fact, he is cunning and treacherous. He looks like a tiger, but he is actually a black fox... He is one of the few smart people in the world. He will not touch a powerful minister in Kyoto for a small matter. "

"Teacher, I feel relieved when you say that." Fan Ren patted his chest and said.

He trusts his master very much. Since the master said it's okay, then it must be okay.

After all, Hao Niu is the leader of the Kyoto clan. Although the Champion Marquis is domineering and arrogant, he has to give face to the leader of the Beijing Party.
