The young man walked through the corridor under the moon, pushed in the door, and said respectfully, "Father."
The candles in the room were brightly lit. After the man sat alone at the table, he held a sheepskin scroll full of Hun scriptures. Hearing the sound, he looked up and said with a smile, "Can the injury be considered healed?"
"Yes." The young man pressed his lower rib and felt a dull pain, "It's no big deal. The child is incompetent. Father has been working hard for the past six months."
"It's nothing." The man turned over the parchment scroll, "You leave tomorrow, don't force it if your injuries are not healed."
"Thank you father for your concern, the child will never let you down again." After the young man finished speaking, he stopped talking when he saw the man, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "Besides, the child dared to ask, why did you stop talking when you came back? I don’t see Jingshu…”
"Leave tomorrow, let's rest early tonight." The man interrupted him loudly.
The young man was stagnant for a while, and finally replied in a low voice, and quietly retreated.
He opened the door, and Ye Feng came towards him, blowing up the sleeves of his robe, and a dark red sword mark on his pale arm was faintly revealed between the ups and downs of the robe.
In the ninth year of Yonghe, Xia Zhongyue, the imperial censor, issued a decree of grace, ordering the princes to split the land with personal grace and divide their children, and Xia was a custom title, which belonged to Xia County. So the vassal state was divided, the sons and daughters of the lords were completed, and the lords analyzed the weak and small clouds a little.
The edict was issued, and as they expected, the princes were in an uproar, the concubines were dissatisfied, and the concubines were happy, and the parties were arguing. But just when everyone thought that everything was safe, there was a turmoil. The most unexpected thing was that the turmoil was not in any vassal state, but Huainan, which had already belonged to the king of Xiling.
Remnants rebelled and rebelled.
"This time, the remnants of the Huainan King suddenly appeared and started rebelling. We were caught off guard." Li Yanzhen sighed and handed the document to Su Shiyu, "Uncle Huang has not been able to fully deploy the defense, and he doesn't know much about the Huainan region. It took people thousands of miles to send an urgent letter to ask the court to send troops to support."
"Even if the prince doesn't mention it, the court should send troops to suppress it." Su Shiyu said, "not to mention the remnants of the Huainan king."
"Hasn't Aiqing completely put down the case of King Huainan?" Li Yanzhen asked.
Su Shiyu didn't answer, but said lightly: "I just suddenly felt that although the rebellion was a disaster, it was still a perfect opportunity."
"Chance?"
"Yes," Su Shiyu nodded, looked at him and said, "It is Luo Xin's opportunity, and it is also His Majesty's opportunity."
Li Yanzhen was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowed at Shang Su Shiyu, and she suddenly had an epiphany.
Indeed, in order to train a general, one must first let him emerge. Moreover, Luo Xin is most criticized for being from Huainan. If he can quell the rebellion in one fell swoop, he will not only be able to sweep away bad words and speculation, but also be able to use his hands to fight soldiers. Starting from this, the military power can be taken back into the hands of the king little by little.
"It's just that the candidate to lead the army to suppress the rebellion... must be selected by Chu Aiqing." Li Yanzhen worried, "How could he not understand the reason?"
Su Shiyu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Even if there is little hope, give it a try."
The Grand Commander's Mansion always showed a bit of austerity, and the guards and maids who walked through the passage were reticent. Seeing Su Shiyu, they all retreated and bowed, but no one stepped forward to stop or report the way, allowing him to go to the study without hindrance.
Chu Mingyun rested one hand on the bookshelf and was concentrating on what he was looking for. Without turning his head, he said, "Where are the books I posted earlier for you to put away..." The voice stopped, and the footsteps behind him gradually became clearer, before the other party made a sound. , he smiled and looked back, "Master Su, are you coming to meet me?"
"I think I'm afraid no one will meet in the daytime." Su Shiyu laughed lightly.
Chu Mingyun turned around and leaned on the bookshelf leisurely, looking at him with a smile, "I don't mind."
"I do know that Master Chu is at ease." Su Shiyu glanced at the small pile of lotus seed shells on the edge of the book table, which meant something.
Chu Mingyun said without changing his face, "Du Yue was left here just now."
Su Shiyu laughed and nodded in agreement, "Ayue is outrageous."
"..." Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, walked up to Su Shiyu, the bulging lotus seed in his palm was pinched at his fingertips, and raised his hand to bring him in front of him, "There is just one more, do you want to eat it?"
Su Shiyu smiled lightly, "You can eat it yourself."
Before he could finish the words, the lotus seeds suddenly touched his lips, faintly stained with a touch of sandalwood warmth, from light to heavy, and slowly slipped ambiguous on his lips, Chu Mingyun lowered his eyes and fixedly looked at it, and said with a low laugh : "Master Su still want to watch me eat it?"
Su Shiyu held Chu Mingyun's hand, looked at him helplessly, and took the lotus seeds. The entrance is sweet and the aftertaste is slightly astringent.
After Chu Mingyun turned back to the desk, "Why don't you sit down?"
Su Shiyu sat down with him and said bluntly: "In the matter of the Huainan rebellion, does Master Chu plan to go out to pacify himself or make another appointment?"
"I don't need to go to this kind of small riots in person." Chu Mingyun said, his tone slightly paused with an inexplicable smile, "Furthermore, the march is very variable, if I go for two years or three years , I'm afraid that Master Su has already married when he comes back, so what should I do?"
Su Shiyu avoided his sight without a trace, and his tone was unwavering, "Since you are appointing others, does Master Chu have a suitable candidate?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Chu Mingyun said.
Su Shiyu took out a playlist and put it in front of him, "Since that's the case, I have a choice here, Master Chu may wish to consider it."
"Luoxin?" Chu Mingyun only glanced at the name, lifted his eyes to look at Su Shiyu, and smiled, "Is he really one of yours?"
"It is the same for His Majesty to solve problems and troubles, so what are you talking about." Su Shiyu said flatly, "This is recommended by others, and I will not come to convey it."
However, Chu Mingyun ignored his words and said with a slow laugh, "Why are you in such a hurry to cultivate power in the army?"
"The theory of how to cultivate power, as a courtier, you should be..."
"Am I not yours too?" Chu Mingyun continued in a low voice, his eyebrows deep.
The bitter fragrance of the lotus seeds still permeated between his teeth, he suddenly did not know how to speak again, his eyes fell on the red lotus pattern on the corner of Chu Mingyun's sleeve, and after a while, he settled down and smiled calmly: "I can't count the conquest. It's clear, but it's just a suggestion, and Master Chu doesn't want it."
"I didn't say I didn't promise you." Chu Mingyun said.
Su Shiyu looked up unexpectedly, and saw that Chu Mingyun took the playing watch and smiled at him, "Since you think Luo Xin is suitable, then it's up to you."
This attitude change really made him bewildered, but after all, he got his wish, so he calmed down and said goodbye. Su Shiyu turned around and wanted to leave, but a voice suddenly sounded behind him, but his footsteps stopped.
"However, Master Su had better not take care of others too much in the future."
Su Shiyu turned around. Chu Mingyun put his hand on his chin, and smiled with frowning eyes, "Otherwise I can't guarantee that I can hold back and not kill him, no matter who it is."
The army moved quickly, but in a few days, the supplies were ready, the soldiers were sharp, the iron armor was cold, the food and grass were several chariots, and the war horses were strong, and the army was ready to go after an order.
The day before he left, Chu Mingyun called Luo Xin over, "How are the preparations these days?"
Luo Xin thought for a while, "Reporting to your lord, I have read the Book of Rites and Monks."
Chu Mingyun looked at him with a complicated expression, "...Why didn't you read the Book of Songs as well?"
"Ah? That one too?" Luo Xin was stunned for a while.
Chu Mingyun raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, "The expedition is imminent, what are you doing with those things?"
"This..." Luo Xin said frankly, "This is what Master Su said to ask me to read more, what's wrong?"
Chu Mingyun was silent for a moment and gave up on this topic.
He took out a few books from the case and handed them over, "This is a map of Huainan and a military book that can be used. If you follow this action, you can't go wrong." He looked at Luo Xin's straight brows. After a pause, he added in a cold voice, "If you lose in this way, you will just kill yourself in Huainan, and you don't have to go back to Beijing."
Luo Xin hurriedly took the book with both hands, not only did he not feel displeased when he heard this, but he smiled, "Thank you sir, I will definitely not let you down!"
Chu Mingyun was too lazy to deal with it, and waved his hand to signal him to step back.
The author has something to say: The literary stalk of rubbing a lotus seed in secret =v=.
Lian and pity have the same pronunciation, pity and love. Zi is the honorific title for men in ancient times. So lotus seed means 'like you'.
Many verses use lotus seeds to convey feelings, such as 'throwing lotus seeds across the water for no reason, and being known for a long time is ashamed. '
Note in ancient texts:
"Using the master's father's conspiracy to make the princes split the land with personal favors and divide their children, while the Han is a custom title, and it belongs to the Han county. —"Han Book? The Biography of the Thirteen Kings of King Jing? Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan"
"In the first month of spring, the edict said: 'The king of Liang and the king of Chengyang were born together with kindness and kindness, and wished to divide the towns into the younger brothers, and they promised them. If the princes and kings invite the towns with their children, I will visit them in person, so that there are ranks.' So the vassal state The first division, and the children are completed." - "Han Shu. Emperor Wu Ji"
