Catch Turkic Khan? Lin Wanrong wondered: "Old man, this is too difficult! General Li Tai has killed countless barbarians all his life, but he still hasn't even seen the appearance of the Turkic Khan, let alone this is the first time for me to go! Don't say catch him!" Turkic Khan, as long as I don’t get caught by the Turkic people, I will just recite Amitabha Buddha!”
He spoke pitifully, with a miserable look on his face, the emperor shook his head and smiled and said, "You haven't set off yet, how can you say such dejected words! It's not easy for you to catch Turkic Khan, but the Turkic people want to catch you, isn't it the same?" Is it very difficult? I just hope that you will be able to display the prestige and morale of my Dahua this time, and keep the border of Dahua safe, and there will be no war within ten years. Are you confident that you can do it?"
No flames within ten years? This is too demanding! If it could be done so easily, Li Tai wouldn't have missed Baishou. Lin Wanrong smiled wryly: "I do have confidence, but I dare not say whether I can really do it. After all, the Turkic people are not the White Lotus Sect!"
"It's okay," the emperor waved his hand generously: "I believe you can do it. I have confidence in you, and you have never disappointed me!"
You can only blame me for being so good. You are used to my excellence, so naturally you don't know what it feels like to fail, Lin Wanrong sighed.
The emperor didn't seem to see his sad face, and said with a smile: "Your subordinates Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Li Sheng, and that Xu Zhen have already been rewarded heavily, and you can use them boldly. "
Sensitively, Lin Wanrong smelled something else, and frowned, "Your Majesty, you mean that there are still some people that I can't trust?"
"I didn't say it, you guessed it yourself." The emperor's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "I just hope that you will pay more attention to everything, and don't trust others. Don't wait until the catastrophe is imminent, and then go find it." That regret medicine!"
What does this mean? Lin Wanrong wanted to ask more details, but the old man seemed unwilling to talk more, and Lin Wanrong couldn't help it for a while.
Coming out of the palace, it was already hollow in the moon, and the high chieftain was still waiting at the door. Lin Wanrong stretched lazily, and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, let's go home soon, Qiaoqiao and the others must be waiting impatiently. I'll treat you to tea and cakes later!"
"Yes." Gao Chief replied, and then showed some embarrassment on his face: "Brother Lin, there is an old gentleman who wants to see you!"
Lin Wanrong was eager to return home, and he didn't want to stay for a moment, shaking his head anxiously: "What old man?! I don't want to see anyone now, I just want to go home. Brother Gao, tell him that I am not free now, Wait for another day to make an appointment!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a clear and bright laugh from the side: "Master Lin, you are not very old, but you are not too airy!"
A small sedan chair was parked next to the city wall at the gate of the palace, the curtain was lifted, and Gu Shunzhang walked out slowly, walking in a beautiful manner, with a chic demeanor, nodding and smiling at Lin Wanrong.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Gu, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lin Wanrong clasped his fists anxiously, and winked secretly at Gao Chief: "Brother Gao, why didn't you say it earlier?! If you knew it was summoned by the emperor, I, Lin San, would be fine." Even if he broke his leg, he will definitely arrive with swift steps! Tell the emperor to wait for a long time, the boy is ashamed, ashamed!"
Gu Shunzhang smiled slightly and said, "Master Lin, you sounded good, but I'm afraid that in your heart you complain that I, an old man, is ignorant of current affairs and disturbed your reunion with your family. This apology should come from an old man."
"Nothing, Mr. Gu is too polite." Lin Wanrong laughed hurriedly, with a very humble expression: "I don't know if the emperor summoned the boy, what instructions do you have to teach? You always just come!"
Gu Shunzhang took a few steps slowly, approached Lin Wanrong, fixed his eyes on him, but didn't speak.
The old man's face was flat, his eyes looked like a smile but not a smile. Being stared at by him, Lin Wanrong suddenly felt uncomfortable, so he pulled Gao Chief to him: "Brother Gao, the moon is too bright tonight, please help me to block it. "
The emperor nodded slightly, and suddenly laughed: "Master Lin, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not!"
"Mr. Gu, why are you so polite?" The old man's eyes were burning, as if he was sizing up a thief. After being stared at by him for a long time, Lin Wanrong was also a little annoyed, and laughed a few times: "You are a well-known emperor teacher, even The emperor has to listen to you. You have questions, how dare I not answer them?!"
Gu Shunzhang shook his head and smiled: "Lord Lin, although I have traveled all over the world this year, your story has been widely read throughout the world. I have heard a lot of it in restaurants and tea shops. I am very curious. On this land, who can teach you such an outstanding talent? Where is the fairyland of the adult, can you tell the old man?!"
"The boy is from Jingchu. My family has withered, and I am the only one left. I traveled abroad when I was young. I haven't returned to my hometown for many years. I don't even remember the name and appearance of Xianxiang. I am ashamed, so ashamed!" Lin Wanrong sighed hypocritically. . He has already memorized this set of rhetoric by heart, and he told his wife once when he first entered Xiao's house.
"It turns out to be from Jingchu." Gu Shunzhang nodded, "I thought you were really from the foot of Mount Tai—"
"What, what did you say?" Lin Wanrong turned pale with shock: "Mr. Gu, what is at the foot of Mount Tai, you made it clear!"
Seeing his nervous expression, Gu Shunzhang smiled apologetically and said: "This old man also hears what he said, so don't take it seriously."
Lin Wanrong's face was pale, with beads of sweat on his hands, and he tried hard to calm himself down: "Mr. Gu, what's the hearsay? Can you explain it in more detail, I've never heard of it before!"
Gu Shunzhang nodded: "When I was traveling in Koryo, it happened that your deeds were spread there, and the idea of connecting horizontal lines you proposed caused an uproar in Koryo. There are also different opinions about your identity. Some people say that you are a big Some people say that you are a wanderer who returned from the West, and some even say that you were transformed by a water monster from Xuanwu Lake in Jinling. Hehe, how can I believe these words?! Later, the old man Talking about this matter with a Korean strange man, the strange man made a calculation and said that you were born on Mount Tai!"
Is it a fortune teller? ! Is there such a coincidence in the world? Lin Wanrong never believed this, he said cautiously: "Mr. Gu, the Korean man you mentioned, is he a Korean man?!"
"I never asked about that." Gu Shunzhang shook his head.
"Then is he a man or a woman? How old is he? What's his name?!"
Gu Shunzhang thought about it carefully: "I didn't pay attention to this-" Seeing Lin Wanrong staring at him with wide eyes, Mr. Gu hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, the old man talks to this strange man through a curtain, and it is up to him to talk to him." Passed down from generation to generation, this old man has never even seen his face!"
No way? What strange person has such a big shelf? ! Lin Wanrong was a little disappointed immediately: "Mr. Gu, since you haven't even seen his face, how do you know that he is from Korea?!"
"It is said that this strange man is proficient in heaven and earth. He has known five hundred years before and five hundred years later. This matter has long been rumored in Korea, and this old man also went there because of his fame." Mr. Gu nodded and said, "Although this old man has broken through thousands of volumes by himself, , but in front of this strange person, you can't take advantage of it, but you often ask him to fail! At that time, you were the most popular in Korea, so I asked that strange person for your background. At first he was unwilling to say , Later, he learned that I was from Dahua, so he did a divination, and then he said that you were born on Mount Tai. But when I asked about other things, he refused to talk about it!"
Is it really a man of God? Lin Wanrong let out a sigh, and sighed: "When I come back from the north, I will also go to Korea to visit this strange man, to see if he can really count."
"You shouldn't be disappointed." Gu Shunzhang nodded and smiled: "But you have to hurry up, don't wait until Korea is captured by Japan before going, then it will be too late."
"I know, I know," Lin Wanrong said with a grin, "I am the commander-in-chief of the Dahua Zhongyong Army. If Koryo is captured, I will be more anxious than you."
"Anxious?!" Gu Shunzhang smiled mysteriously: "Master Lin is too out of touch! People in Korea are anxious, people in Dongying are anxious, but it will never be Mr. Lin who is anxious! Where are you going to take advantage of this good thing? Looking for it?!"
The emperor's teacher is the emperor's teacher, and his eyes are really vicious. Lin Wanrong laughed twice, and his face showed a bit of color.
Gu Shunzhang gradually put away his smile, and his face became serious: "Lin San, there is one thing, I hope you can answer me seriously."
This old man's ability to change his face is almost catching up with the old man! Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Gu!"
Gu Shunzhang sighed, looked far away, and said leisurely: "This time against the Turks, how sure are you of winning?!"
Who dares to answer this question? Lin Wanrong shrugged and said helplessly, "Mr. Gu, aren't you embarrassing me? You should ask General Li Tai this question!"
Gu Shunzhang shook his head silently, and smiled wryly: "I have asked him this question for more than 30 years, and you have seen the result! This time you went out with the army, but it gave the old man a lot of hope. , even if it is not a big victory, the Turks will definitely not be able to take advantage of it. I just hope you can answer me, how sure are you in this battle?"
"Do you want me to answer honestly?" Lin Wanrong spread his hands and said helplessly: "Mr. Gu, to tell you the truth, I'm not even half sure! This is the first time I've fought against a barbarian—give me ten years, Maybe there is some hope!"
Gu Shunzhang shook his head in disappointment: "Ten years is impossible, you only have five months! This time we send troops is different from the past, the success or failure of our Dahua depends on it. If we win, Dahua will be famous through the ages and forever. If it is defeated, Dahua will fall apart, and the country will be destroyed!"
Is it that serious? In the past few decades, Dahua and the Turks fought, didn't they lose more and win less, why didn't they collapse? ! He snorted in confusion.
"Do you know why the emperor is in such a hurry to attack King Cheng?" Gu Shunzhang sighed softly: "I'm afraid it's his body—" He sighed and stopped talking.
"Mr. Gu, you are rebelling. It is obvious that the prince conspired against him. Everyone in the palace has seen it. How can you say that the emperor did something to King Cheng?!" Lin Wanrong argued sophistry.
"Really?!" Gu Shunzhang's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Then Zhao Wu's identity, you don't know?!"
His question contained too much meaning, Lin Wanrong clenched his fists tightly, sweat dripping from his palms. Only the emperor knew about Zhao Wu's true identity, and counting the belated King Cheng and himself, there were only three people who survived. How could Gu Shunzhang know? What is the origin of this emperor? !
"Don't be surprised!" Master Gu sighed, "Then Zhao Wu was recommended to the emperor by me personally."
"You recommended it?!" Lin Wanrong was too shocked to speak!
Gu Shunzhang smiled wryly: "To be precise, it was selected by the first emperor, and then I came forward and recommended it to the emperor!"
The first emperor? ! Lin Wanrong gasped, the former emperor wanted to kill his own son? ! The world is crazy!
Gu Shunzhang heaved a long sigh, his gray beard fluttered with the wind, and his eyes shone brightly: "Actually, I was the same as you in the past, and it was difficult for me to understand the late emperor's actions!"
"It's hard to understand!" Lin Wanrong couldn't help sighing.
"When the first emperor was alive, on the surface, it seemed that he valued King Cheng a lot, and pointed him out at every turn. The whole world thought that the throne belonged to King Cheng. This is not the case. The emperor regards the two princes equally. It's just that the method is different. Cheng Wang is intelligent, quick-witted, and sharp-edged. The first emperor followed his temperament, pushed him to a high position, and observed his behavior. But the second prince back then, who is the current emperor, is thoughtful and thoughtful. Loyalty and forbearance, the emperor did not treat him badly, and secretly arranged for him to take control of the real power in silence. The emperor's intention is to choose the best from these two! And these two princes also have their own characteristics, and each other They are also fighting openly and secretly, making it difficult for the emperor to make a decision for a while!"
It turned out that this was the case. The glory of King Cheng in the past was just an illusion deliberately created by the late emperor. In this way, the old emperor's scheming should all be due to my ancestor, my father-in-law.
"The first emperor wanted to choose the best prince, so what does this have to do with sending secret sentries?!" Lin Wanrong was puzzled.
"Don't panic, listen to me." Gu Shunzhang shook his head and sighed softly: "The old man was the emperor's teacher back then, and he could speak well to the late emperor. Because of this, the two princes tried their best to get close to me. In this situation Next, the first emperor secretly selected a few secret sentries, and asked me to recommend them to the two princes respectively. After the two princes inspected these people, they were all satisfied, so they placed these people in the opposing camp!"
Lin Wanrong was dripping with cold sweat, and said cautiously: "So, on the surface, Zhao Wu seems to obey the emperor, but in fact, he is the former emperor's eyeliner?!"
"That's right." Gu Shunzhang said lightly: "Similarly, there are secret sentinels sent by King Cheng hidden beside the second prince. In fact, these secret whistles are all the former emperor's eyeliner! Every move of the two princes is noble and despicable. Yes, everything falls into the eyes of the emperor."
Father and son? ! brother? ! I'm afraid even life and death enemies are not so ruthless! Lin Wanrong shook his head speechlessly!
"In this situation, which one is better and which one is worse will be immediately revealed. King Cheng is impatient and not heavy enough." Soon, he will attack the second prince. However, the present emperor could not bear it, and sent Zhao Wu to King Cheng's side for dozens of years, but never gave him any orders! All of this naturally fell into the eyes of the first emperor! "Gu Shunzhang took a long breath: "The emperor's palace is hundreds of times stronger than the previous emperor expected. "
"I haven't issued an order for ten years?!" Lin Wanrong sighed after hearing this: "The emperor is really extraordinary, I'm afraid he has already seen through Zhao Wu's true identity!"
"You said that, but the old man never said it." Gu Shunzhang's eyes flickered, and he kept his secret.
"What I said is what I said! When it comes to the city, Cheng Wang is indeed far inferior to the emperor." Face is the ultimate infernal relationship between father and son, Lin Wanrong can only sigh: "The former emperor is kind enough, Cheng Wang In the past, the rebellion wanted to put the late emperor and his elder brother to death, and before the late emperor passed the throne to the emperor, but the emperor was not allowed to attack King Cheng!"
Gu Shunzhang laughed suddenly: "Lin San, you are so cute and silly!"
When a man says that a man is cute, it is about as perverted, Lin Wanrong said angrily, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?!"
Master Gu patted him on the shoulder, nodded and smiled: "You are not the emperor, you will never know the emperor's mind! What kind of crime is treason, you may understand? The previous emperor really forgave King Cheng? The current emperor really wants to forgive Cheng. King?! Then what does Zhao Wu do?! What is imperial demeanor, you will understand soon!!"
"Imperial demeanor?! Master Gu, you mean, the emperor will—" Lin Wanrong's face changed suddenly, thinking of the horror, he was shocked far more than happy.
"Hush—" Gu Shunzhang slowly shook his head, his face calm: "Master Lin, I didn't say anything!"
Lin Wanrong nodded involuntarily, bowed deeply, and praised sincerely: "Master Gu, you are the real teacher of the emperor, the boy has been taught!"
