Chapter 56: The Temple

The east was white, and Xiao Wu seemed to have been carried out of the water, soaking his clothes in cold sweat. Tossed all night, found nothing.

Xiao Wu's dark circles appeared greatly at this time, which was difficult for a monk to appear. Walking with vague steps, especially the left foot is soft and does not focus. Xiao Wu called the little eunuch, he was going to wear gold armor to the palace today, and he would definitely wear a noose.

The little eunuch looked at Xiao Wu with a shocked expression. What's going on?

Xiao Wu's eyes were a little fluttering when he looked at the little eunuch, what was the situation?

When he walked in front of the bronze mirror, he saw that his white flowing robe had been completely glued to his body, his sunken dark circles and bloodshot eyes, and his pale face looked even haggard, as if there were two words "kidney deficiency" written on his face.

"Generalissimo......" said the little eunuch with some concern.

"What?" Xiao Wu asked him suspiciously.

"If you need it, will you put on makeup?" said the little eunuch, bowing.

"Makeup, why makeup?"

"Past,...... When the waste is excessive, and when you need to go to court, you put on makeup and look energetic, and the ministers can't see it. ”

In this way, Xiao Wuming said that the emperor has so many women, it is normal not to sleep all night, how can he go to court the next day?

Xiao Wu nodded slowly, as if he had discovered some great palace secret.

"Generalissimo, the little one has already called the kitchen to serve you tonic soup. The little eunuch bowed and saluted, "The little one has gone to prepare the tools for makeup." ”

As he spoke, he retreated on his own.

"???" Xiao Wu was confused, what do you mean? When am I going to put on makeup?

Xiao Wu scratched his head, it's over, they must have thought I was ...... last night The little eunuch must have been here last night! He appeared as soon as he shouted, so he must have lived in a place where he could hear his own shouting.

Xiao Wu looked up at the sky, if yesterday's voice explained to him "I'm doing CT", would he believe it?

Xiao Wu put his hand on his forehead and stopped......

Xiao Wu still refused to put on makeup, ate some breakfast, and walked towards the main hall of the Shang Dynasty.

Xiao Wu stood inside the palace gate, waiting for the palace gate to open and the hundred officials to enter the court.

The ministers are mentally prepared today, and the generalissimo of the Shang Army must be fully dressed in the palace today, just salute, anyway, it is not the first time to salute this little hairy child.

What do you mean?

Xiao Wu wanted to wait for his father here, and then say a few words by the way. Outcome...... A white-bearded old minister came in, bowed and bowed deeply, "I've seen the generalissimo of the Shang army." Xiao Wu waved his hand, "It's easy to say." ”

After a while, another middle-aged man wearing a second-grade general's uniform came in, "I've seen the generalissimo of the Shang army." ”

Xiao Wu waved his hand, "It's easy to say." ”

When the military general entered the door, he saw Xiao Wu's golden light, and knelt directly on one knee, "Meet the Generalissimo of the Shang Army." ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy. ”

None of these officials had normal faces. As for whoever came early in the morning to give a big gift to the hairy boy, they all felt uncomfortable. And they wondered, this court, you just wait at the door of the court, what does it mean to be directly at the gate of the palace?

Xiao Zicheng was also stunned when he entered the door, and thought about whether he wanted to salute, but Xiao Wu took off his helmet and saluted his father. Xiao Zicheng smiled with satisfaction, "Let's go, go to the court." ”

Xiao Wu shook his head, "Father will go first, and my son still has some things." ”

The surrounding ministers were stunned, aren't you waiting for your father here?

Seeing Xiao Zicheng walk into the courtier train, Xiao Wu stood in front of the palace gate again.

The ministers saluted one by one, and he waved his hands one by one and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”

Xiao Wu didn't care about this etiquette, he just felt that this gang of people pushed themselves out to fight, and they didn't give much to the soldiers, so in the face of this gang of pit goods, they had to charge a little interest. Although he knew that the initiator must be the emperor, how could he have the minister's consent to this matter?

After all the ministers entered the palace, they lined up in front of the main hall. Xiao Wu patted his chest and strode to the top of the generals. Stood still, turned back and smiled at the ministers.

The ministers scolded in their hearts, but they respectfully clenched their fists, "I have seen the generalissimo of the Shang army, and the generalissimo of the Shang army is prosperous and prosperous!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy. Xiao Wu said with a smile.

The eunuch's voice came, "The ministers go to the palace." The ministers entered the main hall in order.

Today, a seat has been set up in the first place of the military attachΓ©, and after Xiao Wu saluted on one knee, he sat directly on it.

Xiao Wu looked at these ministers, but they all lowered their eyebrows and closed their eyes slightly. Looking at the throne again, the emperor smiled at him. After Xiao Wu was stunned, he actually saw his prince's student, standing behind the emperor, and seeing Xiao Wu looking over, the prince smiled and greeted.

"Today's court meeting, first discuss the military affairs of the southwest, the major military affairs, not to be taken lightly. The emperor said in a deep voice.

But he saw a resolute man come out and play, "Weichen thinks that the generalissimo of the Shang army will lead the army to collapse. His Majesty only needs to send the Generalissimo of the Shang Army to take the headquarters there. ”

Who is this old guy? Does it mean that he is not even allowed to take the three battalions of the Beijing Division? Let me take my 5,000 personal guards to the death? Xiao Wu peeked to see his father, but saw that his father didn't care at all. It seems that this is not the first time that this has been said.

Another military general came out, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the three sides of the southwest must not be lost, not to mention that there is also the secret place of Shangzong here, the last general thinks that when another 300,000 troops are sent, it can form an advantage over the Chu State and ensure that I do not lose the southwest." ”

Xiao Wu looked at this person, this is the general who was transferred back from the northern border fortress, the current general of the Beijing Division, said to be a general, but in fact, he is in charge of the 5,000 people who patrol the city, and it is the old department of the Xiao family.

The ministers spoke one after another, but it was only a debate about how many people should be sent over.

Xiao Wu knew that the three battalions of the Beijing Division had 100,000 people, which was the total number of troops he could bring to the southwest, and nothing else.

What is the point of today's controversy? He doesn't understand. But Xiao Zicheng understood, so he didn't speak from beginning to end.

At this time, the temple was divided into two factions and quarreled. One side thinks that sending people is redundant, and Generalissimo Xiao is talented, and the battle must be won and conquered. The other side thinks that there is a secret place of the sect, how can it send fewer people? The front side is anxious again, saying that you look down on the military talent of the generalissimo of the Shang army. The other party is also anxious, you don't put the secret place of the sect in your eyes.

Xiao Wu knew that he didn't have any talent, and he couldn't look down on his talent. Xiao Zicheng also said about the secret land, the secret place is a secret place, but I don't know how many such secret places are away from the Tibetan Sect, but now this secret place is not as important as before.

This disagreement in the court is exactly what the emperor is willing to see, and no matter what decision he makes, it can be said to be the minister's suggestion.

Not only can the decision-making mistakes be described as the minister's suggestion, but the emperor is only deceived and does not take the main responsibility. You can also deal with the last group of people after there is any problem, and it's a big deal to say "XX misunderstands me". The one who "misunderstands me" is not afraid, it doesn't matter if he resigns from a degraded official, anyway, it is not in vain to carry the black pot for the emperor.

And arguing for so long is just an excuse for the emperor to send 100,000 people. Seeing his father watching coldly, Xiao Wu leaned back in his chair and watched the two sides quarrel over an inconsequential matter.

"Ahem. The emperor coughed twice, and the two parties below were directly silenced. "Scholar Xiao, you are the secretary of the military department, what do you think about this matter?"
