When the dean was the dean, the emperor was not the emperor, so for the whole Daning, he may know more than the emperor, after all, this is the third generation of emperors served by the dean, and when he came into contact with the highest level, the current emperor was still very young, even if it was a prince, the level of contact at that time was definitely not as high as the dean, because the old emperor did not allow it.

If it weren't for the sudden death of the first emperor Li Chengyuan, His Majesty would still not be able to touch this level, so he attaches great importance to the old dean, beyond imagination, to a degree far above Mu Zhaotong, who is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties.

Because the old dean is much smarter than Mu Zhaotong, he didn't interfere in the family affairs of the royal family, nor did he make himself look like he was in power.

"I'm still too young."

The old dean thought about it again and again, and decided to persuade him: "General Zhengwupin, don't say whether the people in the court are convinced or not, I'm afraid that there are many people in the Navy Division who are not convinced, it is better to wait until next year, after the big competition of the armies, the strength ranking of that kid will inevitably be low, if he is promoted to Zhengwupin as one of the top ten rookies, he can also block everyone's mouth." ”

He looked at the emperor's face, to be honest, serving this majesty is more difficult than the previous majesty, and now your majesty is stronger, more domineering, and can see farther.

"The young man's blood and qi have just served His Majesty desperately, this should indeed be rewarded, it is better to take a compromise method, and put it for the time being for the first time, and the Tongwen box...... To him? ”

The old dean asked tentatively.

The emperor sat down opposite the old dean, took two pieces of charcoal and put them in the stove: "I know that what you think is the safest way, sir, but that young man may ...... Something is different. ”

"What's the difference? It's just a little better. ”

"He ......"

The emperor was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly bitterly, but he just hooked the corners of his mouth and immediately disappeared.

He glanced at the old dean: "I can't let these young people lose their hearts from the fire, I want to set a few examples to show the young people of the whole Daning, there are already Wu Xinyu and Haisha in the northern Xinjiang, and now there is another Meng Chang'an, if there is another one more sailor, these people will make the young people feel that there is a way out and a head out for the army." ”

The old dean suddenly understood: "The land of Northern Xinjiang is the most sinister and harsh, and the last thing that the recruits of Siku are willing to go to is the north, because the black warriors are too ruthless and the northern Xinjiang is too bitter and cold, so the young people who have emerged in the north have always been more dazzling in the past few years, Wu Xinyu and Haisha, plus Meng Chang'an, so that young people will feel that although it is dangerous to go to the north, it is easier to get ahead." ”

The emperor nodded: "What young man would admit that he is worse than others?" They will always feel that the difference is just an opportunity. ”

The old dean found that the most terrible thing about the emperor is to understand people's hearts, the emperor understands the thoughts of young people, and also understands the thoughts of middle-aged and old people, so he can rule the Quartet and make Daning stronger and stronger.

The emperor continued: "Northern Xinjiang is the place where people are most needed, followed by water divisions. ”

The Emperor smiled, some cunning flashing in his eyes.

"I also want to tell some people that the country is thousands of miles, it is my thousands of miles, and whoever stands up and kneels within these thousands of miles is the final say."

The old dean finally determined what His Majesty wanted, it was a shock and a warning.

Warn Pei Tingshan, warn those lords who think the same way as Pei Tingshan.

Do you have the final say in cultivating your own successors?

Whoever I let get up, he can get up.

Immediately after the old dean, I thought of an interesting anecdote, someone told him that there was a merchant from Daning who went to the south of Zhaoli to do business, and when he was drinking and chatting with the Zhaoli people, the Zhaoli merchant was drunk and took the hand of the Daning merchant and said: "Do you know how we Zhaoli people describe your Daning Emperor?" ”

The Zhaoli merchant sat up straight and slapped the table: "His, his, it's all his!" ”

When he said this, he couldn't hide some sadness and grievances.

And the merchants of Daning laughed very loudly, not to mention how proud and proud.

"I understand."

The old dean laughed, His Majesty was deep and far-reaching, in fact, many times even he couldn't keep up with His Majesty's thoughts, Mu Zhaotong was the same, he always had to react for a while to understand what His Majesty meant by doing this and that, so the old dean was very sure of one thing from beginning to end, even if His Majesty didn't have himself or Mu Zhaotong by his side, it might not have any effect.

His Majesty's reuse of Mu Zhaotong is more often an attitude, after the death of the first emperor, His Majesty did not even move Mu Zhaotong, this is to calm people's hearts, and then slowly start to slowly change the pattern, and when people find that something is wrong, His Majesty has withdrawn the right to transfer troops from the Ministry of War, and the people of Siku Wufu have almost changed.

Your Majesty's Tianwen Pavilion is not only the names of some young talents in the army, but also the little guys who are from poor families but are amazingly talented among the six departments and nine secretaries, Your Majesty remembers them.

The scary thing is that most people think that the Liuyun Society is just a secret gang that does not enter the stream, but the Liuyun Society knows better than anyone what the people like and dislike, and what is even more terrifying is that these young people who have left their names in the Tianwen Pavilion, Liuyun will be able to find out their last three generations clearly, three generations are not enough for five generations, and they may know more about their family's past than these young people themselves.

"Sir, do you remember, the previous dynasty Xu drove the captive, Wei Wuxian."

The famous general of the Chu State, Xu Qiyu, was twenty-one years old and worshiped the general.

The famous general Wei Wuxian, at the age of twenty-six, worshiped the general.

These two people have done something that even Daning is still benefiting from now...... Conquer the steppes.

The old dean smiled even more freely: "Yes, after the age of thirty, I'm afraid that there will be no more of those two people on the battlefield." ”

The emperor said: "Chu only has one Xu and one Wei Wuxian, but my Daning will have many Xu Qiqi Wei Wuxian, as long as I give them a chance, they will be more arrogant than those two people on the battlefield, Mr. knows, Daning has been peaceful for hundreds of years, those outsiders think that Daning is strong enough, but in fact, Daning is not strong enough, and the descendants of Daning and the Black Warriors will also fight, so giving young people more hope is giving me more hope." ”

"Besides, I've heard one more thing."

The emperor got up and stretched his arms: "Young people are always competitive, Tie Liuli said that he asked Meng Changan why he fought so hard, and Meng Changan's answer was that he didn't want to lose...... So I became curious, who did he not want to lose? Thinking about it, it could only be Shen Leng, and I was very bored, and I sent someone to check on the water master, Zhuang Yong vaguely knew that Shen Leng and Meng Changan had a five-grade appointment. ”

"The Covenant of Five Grades?"

"The two of them have to compete with each other, who will reach the Wupin General first."

The old dean laughed: "If you say that the two of them are superficial, I'm afraid that few young people in this generation can be more thoughtful and thoughtful than them, but do these two guys really think that it is so easy to be the fifth grade?" It's like saying let's run together to see who runs a hundred zhang away first, child's play, it's too child's play. ”

The emperor smiled proudly: "Their competition, too, I have the final say, you say it is not easy, I can make things easier." ”

The old dean was slightly stunned: "If Your Majesty interferes, it will be cheating." ”

In the whole world, who is bigger than Your Majesty.

"I let them upgrade to the fifth grade together, and there is no winning or losing, so they will still compete ......"

The Emperor returned to his desk and looked at the two decrees that had been prepared: "Powerful but still a little naïve, I like such young people. ”

The old dean has nothing to say, in fact, what he can think of should be thought of His Majesty himself has already thought of it, the old dean stands in the position of the old minister of the three dynasties and looks at the future, and the distance that can be seen is because of the support of the previous two generations of Daning Emperors, and Mu Zhaotong is the same.

And His Majesty is different now, what he can see in the distance, the old dean feels that he can't see it even if he stands on Mu Zhaotong's shoulder.

The old dean couldn't help but think that those Shinto Taoist monks always talked about foresight, appearance, and cause and effect...... Some people also say that the real person in Longhu Mountain can see people for ten years, and the master of Zen Buddhism in the Western Regions can also see people for ten years, which is just fooling people.

Even if you can see a person clearly in the next ten years? After all, it's just a trail.

Your Majesty, you can see the world in the next ten years, or even decades!

"The next competition between the two of them will be left for next year's military competition."

The emperor personally used the seal in his will, and these two wills obviously did not intend to let the cabinet know in advance, even if it was a scholar Mu Zhaotong, in the past, His Majesty's will was used after the cabinet drafted His Majesty's eyes, and these two wills were written by His Majesty himself.

The old dean found that what he was thinking was still not far-reaching enough, His Majesty was so anxious to bring the two of them to the Zhengwupin, but it was not just what he thought of before, what His Majesty wanted to see was not the so-called top ten rookies in the coming year, how boring it was...... Your Majesty wants to see the top ten generals.

Now that the two of them are mentioned in the fifth grade, then a year has passed by the time of the military competition, which leaves room for further promotion at that time, if Shen Leng is promoted in another half a year, he will be promoted at that time, the interval is too short, and the opposition of the courtiers will be louder than now.

The results of Peng Qisha, the first place in the last military competition, were not as good as the last top ten rookies in the last session, and His Majesty was extremely disappointed at that time, and now the old dean still remembers the expression on His Majesty's face at that time.

"But Meng Changan's credit is still greater."

The old dean reminded him very slyly.

"Hmm......"

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the old dean: "Sure enough, it's still a pro-apprentice, so you care more." ”

The old dean smiled: "So this time, it was Shen Leng who lost." ”

"How?"

"Even if it is the same positive five grades, but the minister guessed that His Majesty's reward for Meng Changan in terms of honor was higher than Shen Leng's, maybe not just higher, so Meng Changan won after all."

"Did they talk about the honor?"

The emperor snorted: "Even if there is, I can cross this sentence out, I say that a tie is a tie......"

The old dean looked at the emperor, and the meaning in his eyes was that His Majesty was the largest in the world, and His Majesty had the final say, and His Majesty was happy.

"Sir seems slightly unconvinced?"

The old dean waved his hand again and again: "Not convinced? The minister dared to ......"

The emperor sighed: "I heard that Mr. got two jars of Northern Xinjiang spirits and a glass to seal his throat?" ”

The old dean resolutely rose: "It was given to the minister by Shen Leng, and it is worthless." ”

Emperor: "Of course I don't want you to go back and bring me the wine for me to taste. ”

The old dean breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"I've already asked people to get it, after all, my husband is old and his legs are slow."

The emperor laughed, and the old dean wanted to cry.

The wine is not a good wine, of course it is not valuable, but what His Majesty wants to taste is the spicy and cold of the Northern Frontier Army.

After taking a sip, the emperor's face changed color slightly, this wine was really too strong, and his spicy throat hurt slightly.

"A cup of throat sealing?"

The emperor suddenly laughed: "Thousands of cups and thousands of cups can't stop the singing of those tough guys in the iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier, but only such a strong and spicy can be worthy of their voices." ”

"I'm going to change the name of this wine, and I'm going to call it ...... Xinjiang Song. ”
