The old guy only came back to his senses after hearing this, although His Majesty the Holy King had abdicated, he was still the supreme supreme of Western Qin, and many people seemed to have gradually forgotten his authority over the years, even some old ministers seemed to be the same.

Wei Meng was like sitting on pins and needles, and secretly glanced at Zhao Ziliang, but saw that Zhao Ziliang was staring at him, he was frightened by Zhao Ziliang's gaze, and he didn't care about the ugliness at the moment, and immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty is angry, the old minister drank a few more glasses of wine, so that the monarch lost his manners, the old minister was guilty, and the old minister was guilty!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Meng like this, and pondered in his heart, just taking this opportunity to beat some people in the court, lest some people not know the height of the sky.

He immediately said leisurely: "When people are old, they like to rely on the old and sell the old, or they think that they have some credit, so they think that they are not good, and they can see no one?" This is true in the face of solitude, let alone in the presence of the new king? ”

All the old ghosts were covered in cold sweat, and their eyes looked at Wei Meng as if they could kill someone, and they all wanted to strangle him, cursing in their hearts, this old thing that has more than enough success and more than failure!

Wei Meng was so frightened that his face was pale, he trembled on the ground, and kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt: "The minister deserves to die, the minister deserves to die, please punish Your Majesty, the minister has no complaints!" ”

Zhao Ziliang walked down from His Majesty Dan with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "When I abdicated alone, I didn't let you retire immediately, just so that you old ministers can stand up for the new king in the court, escort the new king's governance, and maintain his prestige, but you are good, one by one, you regard yourself as elders, and play the majesty of elders in front of the new king, a child!" You are all old ministers of the previous dynasty, if the new king didn't remember that you had some merits in the past, if it weren't for the fact that you were an old minister who fought the world with Lone, if it wasn't for Lone's death, do you think you would still be able to live to Zhishi in peace? ”

At this time, everyone couldn't sit still, and they got up and knelt on the ground to plead guilty. While kowtowing and pleading guilty, their minds were all thinking about the killing of heroes by the founding kings or successors of previous dynasties in order to maintain their rule and prestige, and they suddenly sweated all over their bodies, like shaking chaff.

After a while, Zhao Ziliang returned to the throne and looked at the people kneeling on the ground: "Now many things in the court are no longer Lone's master, if you make an accident, even if you ask for the Lone King, Lone will not be able to save you!" Now that you have taken a back seat, you will honestly enjoy your old age in the future, and you can still have a good death, understand? Lone will punish you for not drinking alcohol for a year, otherwise Lone will cure you of a crime of deceit! ”

The crowd had to kowtow and say, "Yes!" ”

"Okay, just say what you have, go back to your own house if you're fine, and find your own mother!" Zhao Ziliang said and waved his hand.

Everyone looked at each other, Chu Ge stroked his lips to Bai Xiaode, Bai Xiaode was helpless, so he had to get up and hug his fist at Zhao Ziliang and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty will soon go to the west to conquer?" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned around and asked, "How did you know that Lone was going to go on an expedition?" ”

Brehan said: "Your Majesty, this is not an obvious matter, you have waited for fifty or sixty thousand horses from the Tang Dynasty, I heard that these horses were all prisoners in the past, and our Xiqin side also conducted a count of prisoners in prisons across the country a few years ago, and then concentrated these prisoners in several places for military exercises, and now even the establishment has been determined, and a few generals are not in place, isn't this clearly going to war?" Other people don't know about this, although our old ministers have taken a back seat, there are still some old subordinates in the army, you must know that this matter is not very easy? ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, "It's not surprising that you can guess." You're here today to ask about this? ”

Wei Meng immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty's expedition to the west, Wei Meng is willing to be Your Majesty's pawn!" ”

The others also hugged their fists and said: "The ministers are also willing to be Your Majesty's pawns, please fulfill Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Meng, then looked at the others, got up from the throne and came to everyone, looked at them one by one, and said: "Tsk······ What are you old guys going to do? Can't stay at home, and you have to go to death to be comfortable? Besides, you're all getting old, can you still get a war horse? Can you still use weapons? ”

The veterans were red-faced by Zhao Ziliang's series of questions, and Wei Meng exhaled angrily: "Your Majesty, just now the minister did lose his honor in front of the king, you want to punish the minister's sin and submit to it!" But Your Majesty, you can't look down on the minister so much, although the minister is a little older, but the minister can still eat a bucket of rice at every meal, can eat half a sheep, can drink a jar of wine, is still vigorous, and it is not a problem to fight on horseback, just say that how many of the younger generals in the army are the opponents of the old minister? Tell them to come over and fight the old minister, and see if the old minister doesn't beat them out of the! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Meng with a disgusted expression, didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked up to Chu Ge and asked, "They were instigated by you?" ”

Chu Ge smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is wronged by the ministers, how can the ministers encourage them, but the ministers are coerced by them!" Your Majesty, these people are tired of being crooked, and they want to go to the battlefield to find death, I see, don't stop them, if they want to find death, let them die outside, and if they die at home, they have to waste land for burial! ”

Bai Xiaode scolded: "Old man Chu, obviously you took the lead in letting us come, but now you are beating a rake, you are really not a son of man, so shameless!" ”

Several other people also scolded Chu Ge, Zhao Ziliang observed for a while, and suddenly laughed, he could see that these old things were acting in front of him!

"Okay, okay, don't act in front of Lone, if Lone can't see it, the king of so many years will be in vain!" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand as he spoke, "You guys, don't bother, if Lone takes you, if you are really chopped into meat sauce on the battlefield, wouldn't those orphans and widows in your family come over to find Lone to compensate their husbands and fathers?" Okay, okay, let's all go back! ”

A few old ghosts didn't move, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Zhao Ziliang walked a few steps and found that there was no movement behind him, turned around and looked, and suddenly his face was a little ugly, "What?" Are you going to stay here and not leave? ”

Brehan stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please let the minister go, the minister will not do anything in his life except fighting, and now he is not a soldier, even I don't know how to survive in the past few years, and I am at a loss every morning when I get up, so I can only keep practicing." Practice, practice until you can't move, and if you continue like this, the minister beware that he will really go crazy, and the minister can only be like an ordinary person in the army and on the battlefield, and only on the battlefield and in the barracks can he be calm when he looks at those majestic little guys! ”

Chu Ge hugged his fists and said, "The minister is too!" ”

Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode also clasped their fists and said: "The same is true of the ministers!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face became serious and asked, "When did your situation begin?" ”

Chu Ge said: "The minister is the queen of Zhishi!" ”

The rest of the people answered the same question, almost all of them after retirement, but there was a difference in severity.

Zhao Ziliang knows that this is a mental illness similar to post-war psychological syndrome, which is different from the general post-war syndrome, which occurs after the war, and these veterans all happened after the retirement of Zhishi, and the symptoms are not the same, but there is no doubt that this is a mental illness, and in this era, there is no professional psychologist who can treat this mental illness.

If it is an ordinary soldier, it is okay, after retiring, you can believe in Buddhism or Taoism, recite scriptures, and live in seclusion to practice for treatment, but these old guys are all high-ranking generals in Western Qin, and they cannot join other religions.

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a long time, or decided to take these old guys away, since it is a problem on the battlefield and in the barracks, it must be solved on the battlefield and in the barracks, he said: "Lone can let you follow, but it depends on you don't have this ability, if you can't ride a horse and can't hold a weapon, then stay at home and wait for death, don't waste people in the lone army!" Tomorrow morning, you will bring your own weapons and armored horses to the camp of the Thorn Army outside the city, and Lone will be waiting for you there! ”

Chu Ge and the others were overjoyed, and they all hugged their fists and said: "Thank you king, thank you king!" ”

Early the next morning, when Zhao Ziliang came down to the temporary camp of the Thorn Army outside the city under the escort of the Dragon Guard, Chu Ge and the others were already dressed neatly and carrying weapons and waiting at the gate of the camp on horseback.

Zhao Ziliang led them into the camp, and Hun Xuan, who was on duty, greeted him and hugged his fists and said: "The minister greets the king, why didn't the king send someone to inform him when he came to the camp?" The minister also ordered people to prepare to meet him."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and pointed at Chu Ge and the others: "Have you seen these old guys?" They said that they want to fight with Lone in the west, Lone brought them here today to see how much ability they still have, you go to find some generals and colonel officers to come over, try these old guys' skills, don't give Lone face, give Lone to death, as long as they are beaten down, everyone will have dinner at noon today, if not only do they not beat them down, but they beat them down, everyone is not allowed to eat at noon today! ”

Hun Yingli straightened his waist and said, "Yes!" ”

Hun Xuan's age is not young, when Chu Ge and other veterans followed Zhao Ziliang in the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, he had seen these people, and he admired and admired these people tightly, but Zhao Ziliang asked him to find someone to compete with these veterans, and he couldn't disobey orders, and he had to win, otherwise everyone in the camp was not allowed to eat lunch.

In order not to lose face, Hun Yang had to find Fan Xichao and Gao Chongwen, and found a few more people with strong force in the army to compete with Chu Ge and others.

I have to say that although Chu Ge, Wei Meng, Bai Xiaode, Brehan and others are old, their martial arts have long been extraordinary, and their physical fitness, strength and agility will not decline with age in the next ten or twenty years, and the battlefield fighting experience and fighting skills of these veterans have not been lost, and the special fighting skills are more exquisite than before.

Except for Hun Xuan, Fan Xichao and Gao Chongwen, who were more than enough to fight with Chu Ge, Wei Meng, Bai Xiaode, Brehan and others to fight hundreds of tricks without falling behind, the other generals found by Hun Yang were all defeated without exception.

"Stop! If you have passed, you go back and wait for the news, and the orphan will send someone to inform you before the pull! ”

Chu Ge and the others were overjoyed, and went back happily after saluting Zhao Ziliang.
