Chapter 281 Military Merit

General officer!

Liu Jin was already numb to Zhu Houzhao's casual style of signing officials and making wishes. After all, not long ago, the little emperor almost made a promise to Xu Xun to go out. Fortunately, a matter of affairs appeared in front of him and he went to the embroidery shop to discuss other matters. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao would have ordered someone to go to the cabinet to pass the imperial edict when he returned to the palace that time.

Xu Xun didn't see Liu Jin looking at him with his eyes. In fact, Zhu Houzhao's sudden jumping thinking suddenly shocked him to the point of being confused. On the contrary, Xu Liang, who had been sitting silently, suddenly stood up when the topic suddenly turned to him.

"Your Majesty, how did this make it happen!"

"How can you not do it? Even if you are not skilled in bows and horses, this general is not going to the battlefield in person. I will send you more soldiers and transfer a few more generals who have experienced many battles to you. When the Tatars are killed, the main achievements of this military merit will be yours!" The more Zhu Houzhao thought about the more appropriate his plan, the expression of excitement appeared on his face, "At that time, let's see what those long-winded old guys have to say!"

Seeing Xu Xun's expression that was obviously struggling with how to persuade him, Xu Liang pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor is very loving, and I am the one who is in the Wuliu. Although I am old, I am confident and skilled in bowing and horses. If the emperor wants a brave general, I will be at this age and this brute force, and I will be confident than others!"

After saying this, Xu Liang suddenly reached out to the bottom of the bluestone table, penetrated his arms violently, and shouted loudly. Then, he saw that his arms muscles suddenly became stronger. The entire extremely heavy bluestone table actually left the base and stayed steadily in his arms. Before Zhu Houzhao could come back to his senses, Xu Liang put down his hand, and heard the bluestone bang and returned to the pedestal. At this time, he took a few breaths to calm down and bowed deeply.

"But it is very simple for the emperor to be brave and brave. If you choose from a military, you will always have one who is extremely powerful, but it is not easy to have one who is brave and strategic, but you can really lead troops? In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, there are so many brave soldiers who die on the battlefield! I have been extraordinary brute force since I was a child, and I am skilled in bows and horses. Although I am not as good as my young age, I firmly believe that I can still beat most of the so-called warriors. But if I go into battle rashly, it is easy to kill a chalker and kill ten, but if I have to kill hundreds of thousands, I will not be able to catch my strength, because I am extremely short of my military strategy! I ask the emperor to take back my mission, because I know my skills, at most I can lead a thousand and eight hundred people to a side general, and the army has not yet fought for the strength of fighting, so I dare not make a joke on the lives of the soldiers under my command."

Zhu Houzhao only knew that Xu Liang was kind, that he was a good cook, that he was a great father, that he even envied Xu Xun's luck for a while, but to the first time he saw Xu Liang showing this skill, he didn't react at the first time. At this moment, looking at Xu Liang who had been keeping a bow and bowing posture, he finally came to his senses, walked up to help the person up with his hands, but turned to look at Xu Xun.

"Xu Xun, you have a good father!" After saying this, he looked at Xu Liang again and said, "Xing'an Bo, my hero, this is true. You have such skills. I underestimated you in the past! If I have the chance in the future, I will let you go to war, how dare you respond?"

"What don't you dare?"

"Okay, great!"

Zhu Houzhao came out in anger today, but Xu Xun was beaten to solve one problem. Then he had such an unexpected gain. He felt an unparalleled pleasure. The gloomy color on his face was gone, replaced by unconcealed happiness.

Looking at the sky, he originally wanted to stay in Xing'an Bo Mansion for dinner. Liu Jin, who was beside him, immediately reminded him with an opportunity: "Emperor, when we came out today, we told the Empress Dowager that we would go to the Marquis of Shouning."

"Ah, yes!" Although he was a little excited, Zhu Houbao looked at Xu Liang and Xu Xun, and hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Let's do this, Shouning Hou is not an outsider, you go with me..."

"Emperor, Marquis Jianchang is coming today, and there are still women here..."

Zhu Houzhao, who was interrupted by Liu Jin again, was slightly annoyed. It was seen that the old eunuch shook his eyes at him. After thinking about it, he finally reluctantly took back his meaning. When Xu Liang and Xu Xun and his son sent him out, he signaled Liu Jin to follow him as soon as he got in the car. When another middle-aged eunuch was seated in the coachman's position, the curtain was lowered. He said to Liu Jin dissatisfied: "What does it mean to wink at me just now?"

"Did the emperor forget the thing the Empress Dowager mentioned to you just now?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Houzhao raised her eyebrows inexplicably. Seeing Liu Jin making a vague gesture, he suddenly realized: "Ah, I forgot my mother said I would be betrothed by Sister Jingxuan to Xu Xun! Yes, yes, I really can't let them go today. If the Hou of Shouning came up with me, I would like to reject him in person, and the Queen Mother would be angry again... Sister Jingxuan has the most idea. Just tell her that she will choose a man herself and I will give her a marriage!"

Liu Jin listened to this incredible idea and could only recite Amitabha in his heart.

But he had to praise Zhu Houzhao's wonderful ideas. When he thought that Xu Liang seemed to be a bad old man before, he could not hide it. He couldn't help but smack his tongue, and he felt that the father and son were brave and the other was a perfect match.

It takes father and son to fight. It seems that he should also find his own relatives! After all, blood is thicker than water, and people with this bloodline are more trustworthy after all...

Watching Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin leave, Xu Xun and Xu Liang from the second gate of Xing'an Bo Mansion pressed their chests together and let out a long sigh. Immediately, the father and son looked at me, and saw that they were almost the same posture, they couldn't help laughing. Xu Xun naturally reached out to support Xu Liang's arm, and then laughed softly: "I almost became the general in just one sentence. How does my father feel?-

-

"Boy Gu, you actually joked about me!" Xu Liang made a move and wanted to beat me. Seeing Xu Xun smiling and not dodging or avoiding, he put down his hand and said, "I was almost scared to death at that time, but then I almost wanted to respond impulse.

Fortunately, I still know what material I am. If I agree, I will be unlucky if I really lose the battle. I will not say that I am unlucky. Even those innocent soldiers who died, I will be the first to be unable to get through. I am the first to know myself. I am the material to rush forward to death. If I really want to be a general in command, I should wait for the next life!"

"But when I saw you lifting the table, I almost thought you would agree!" Xu Xun was stunned when he thought of that scene, and smiled, "I really don't know that besides being skilled in archery and horses, you have hidden such a skill and never exposed it."

"What's this hidden? How did you know that monk back then? Before he entered the West Factory, we were just hanging out. If you want to say that you are a good person, you are not as good as him in stealing the ability to go high, but if you want to say that you are able to move millstones and block people's roads and cause trouble, he is far less than me. When I was young, I was trained with a stone lock and holding the millstone. It was just a fool. So, don't support me like an old man. I'm not even seventy or eighty years old!"

Xu Xun glared at Xu Liang, but he had no intention of taking back his hand: "Isn't this the son who is willing to be filial to you?"

On the carriage, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were discussing how to marry the matchmaker for Sister Xiao and Sister of Shouning Hou Mansion. Xu Liang and Xu Xun and his son in Xing'an Bo Mansion were still busy and had fun. The Ministry of War and the cabinet were already busy. At the same time, the noble generals of the Five Army Governor's Office and the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison were busy. Even Zhang Yong was moved and went to see Gao Feng to find out the news that day. However, Gao Feng had always been concerned about Zhu Houzhao's affairs and was not involved in government affairs, but he couldn't say anything.

At this point, the chalk of Tatar had slapped the Ming Dynasty in the face. Now it is not about whether the court will change or not, but whether others will take advantage of the situation to invade. However, it is a question worth discussing if the troops are sent to reinforce Xuanfu and who will lead the army with the seal. However, the Minister of Revenue Han Wen and others are petty about military pay and so on. Within two days, the court has a quarrel.

On the evening of that day, two sedan chairs were walking towards each other in a secluded and narrow alley. At the end, they were about to meet together. The four strong men carrying sedan chairs on both sides put the sedan chairs down and then quietly retreated, but in the end they lost their shadow. At this time, the curtains of one of the sedan chairs were raised high.

"Eunuch Li."

"Mr. Jiao, what's the matter with you in such a hurry to find our family?" Li Rong lowered his head impatiently and walked out of the sedan chair, saying with a bad look, "It's not the past now. The emperor sees that we old guys are just superficial skills. If the two of us are sued by those little kids, our old face will have no place to use!"

"I also know the difficulties of Eunuch Li." Jiao Fang was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile, "I came today because I had something to discuss with Eunuch Li. I believe that Eunuch Li has also seen the current situation. Xu Xun is unique and the emperor trusts it. It is impossible to suppress him or move Eunuch Xiao. To this day, the cabinet and ministers of the Ministry and the ministers do not like him. At this time, we will give him a favor, and we will not write down the past, but we can always take it over gradually. After all, for Eunuch Li, Eunuch Xiao is far less threatening than those of the former East Palace, right?"

A few days ago, Wang Yue had nothing to do and the little emperor couldn't figure it out. Li Rong was upset. At this moment, Jiao Fang said, he couldn't help but feel slightly moved. He pondered for a long time before speaking, "Then what kind of favor do you think?"

"Of course, it is to allow him to be able to be in the court with a steady favor. What contribution can be greater than military merit? I mentioned this matter with Ge Lao Li and I. The Tatars never fight head-on with us. When the army passed, they had already escaped without a trace. They could get military merit by wandering around. Such good things are not often happening."
