Chapter 395: Serious men are so handsome
Zhao Changlin bowed deeply and said: "My brother's love for the emperor can be proved by heaven and earth, the sun and the moon. Why is it not as good as before?"
He answered the question with trepidation.
Zhao Changqing sighed: "Sometimes I really don't know how to use you. Sometimes I don't trust you to control the army. Sometimes I feel that instead of letting foreign ministers control the army, it is better to let you control the army. What do you think of me?"
Thoughts, are they strange?"
Zhao Changlin did not answer this question directly, but kept emphasizing to the emperor that the Changlin Army did not belong to him, it belonged to His Majesty.
Zhao Changqing patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "Don't worry, I'm just complaining for nothing. I won't take away your military power. Train these 300,000 troops well. When we declare war on the Tang Dynasty in the future, we will inevitably have to surrender."
You go into battle and kill the enemy."
Zhao Changlin said respectfully: "It is my duty to do so!"
He understood what the emperor meant by these words.
To train an army of 300,000 people well means that the Changlin Army's establishment can only be 300,000 people at most, and no more.
The last half sentence is easier to understand.
You train this army well and let it compete head-on with the Tang army in the future. The number of casualties depends entirely on God's will.
In fact, Zhao Changlin sometimes thinks deeply about when the relationship between the two brothers took a turn for the worse?
During the Xuanwumen Incident, the brothers were in harmony. At that time, no matter how complicated the situation was, we could always overcome it by working together.
When the emperor's brother went on horseback to conquer the aristocratic families, he also ordered himself to supervise the country.
But what about these years?
Whenever the imperial brother leaves Luoyang, he will never allow himself to supervise the country.
Instead, the important task of supervising the country was handed over to a foreign minister-Zhuge Liang.
Could it be that my loyalty to the country cannot be compared to that of a foreign minister?
Or am I not as loyal as Zhuge Liang in Your Majesty's heart?
Whenever he thinks of these things, he always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Having said that, it's not that Zhao Changqing doesn't trust Zhao Changlin, but he feels that this brother is sometimes too sinister and cannot see through him, and is unwilling to hand over the power of the government into his hands.
Both of them had complicated thoughts about each other.
Zhao Changqing smiled at him and said, "You have worked hard in today's battle. Go back and rest quickly. In two days, there will be another battle."
Zhao Changlin bowed and said: "Brother Emperor, I will leave first."
Zhao Changqing nodded.
After he left, Daji came up and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to like King Changlin very much?"
Zhao Changqing said: "I can't say I like it, nor can I say I hate it. It's just that sometimes Lao Jiu is too deep-minded. He has ability, means, and courage. The key is that his surname is Zhao. I must be careful about such a person.
use."
Daji wondered: "Since Your Majesty doesn't like him, why do you still make him king?"
Zhao Changqing frowned and said: "I hope these words are spoken out of your mouth for the last time. Remember, as my woman, I won't take the initiative to talk to you about state affairs. You'd better not talk nonsense in front of me without permission."
.”
Daji was stunned.
This was the first time she saw the emperor looking so serious towards her.
I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in my heart.
But she was completely conquered by Zhao Changqing, so after hearing his scolding, she did not dare to refute, she could only lower her head and remain silent.
If this were left to Qingqiu, even if the Lord of Qingqiu reprimanded him like this, it would not work!
Zhao Changqing held Daji's jade hand and walked towards the camp step by step. As he walked, he asked: "I heard that all monsters are afraid of the flesh and blood of the army. Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable in the army?"
Daji's heart warmed up and she smiled brightly, completely forgetting how he had scolded her just now, "There was a little feeling at the beginning. Now that the soldiers in the camp have no ill intentions towards me, this feeling has gradually become much smaller."
Zhao Changqing nodded, "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, tell me and I will find a solution."
Daji said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is fine, don't worry."
There was a war going on, so even if something happened, she would not dare to tell Zhao Changqing blatantly.
Afraid of distracting him.
On his way back to the camp to rest, Zhao Changlin saw Jian Yi standing on the top of the mountain admiring the moon.
He went over and said hello, "Why is the Sword Master so relaxed and elegant today?"
Jian Yiyi said: "I have met King Changlin."
Zhao Changlin laughed and patted Jian Yi on the shoulder, "Why are you so unreasonable? You are a sword master. Your Majesty has already said it before. The sword master has no rank and is invincible. Every time he goes, the officials will automatically retreat. This honor
, you are the only one in the entire Wei Kingdom!"
Jian Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me."
Zhao Changlin smiled and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Jian Yiyi said: "It's nothing, I just miss my homeland a little bit."
Zhao Changlin said: "Isn't this simple? When the war is over, won't the Sword Master be able to follow the army back to the court and return to Luoyang?"
Jian Yi shook his head and said: "I'm talking about my hometown sixteen years ago."
Zhao Changlin was stunned when he heard the sound, and lowered his voice and said: "Sword Master, be careful what you say!"
Your Majesty, the Emperor, did not ascend the throne sixteen years ago.
But the sword master said that what he liked was his hometown fifteen years ago. What was this?
Treason?
The Sword Master nodded lightly and said: "King Changlin, don't think too much. What I'm talking about is the scene when our Jiange disciples just came down from the mountain. In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring and Autumn Period of the 16th year. After 16 years of great changes, the Wei State has become the world's most powerful nation.
The most powerful country."
Zhao Changlin suddenly realized and said: "Yes, I still remember it very clearly. Sixteen years ago, I was a brat. At that time, I liked to walk around the eldest brother's palace whenever I had nothing to do. I don't know why later, but in short, I was...
The general trend is the general trend, and we have reached this current situation in a daze."
Jian Yi stopped talking and left with fists in his arms.
Then, Zhao Changlin began to admire the moon again.
After Zhao Changqing returned to the camp, he was not in a hurry to rest. Daji had been waiting by his side to serve him.
And he stared at the map of Liang Country seriously.
He marked 'Lingzhou City' with a red dot with a cinnabar pen, and then said to himself: "The situation is not good. Zhao Yun is guarding an isolated city surrounded by enemy cities. If they wait until they have raised their troops and attack Zhao Yun,
If we come here to cover it up, won’t this Lingzhou city become a place of death?”
Thinking of this, he shook his head again, "This is the worst outcome. Zilong must know it in his heart. Next, he will definitely send troops to open up the road to contact Yu Ming, Qingzhi and the others. But no matter what, Lingzhou City
This battleground for ancient military strategists has become a dangerous place due to the development of the war situation..."
He was still mumbling to himself.
Daji interrupted boldly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, should you go back and rest?"
Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "If you want to sleep, you go to bed first. I'm not sleepy."
Daji bit her lip lightly and said, "Then I will accompany Your Majesty."
Zhao Changqing stopped talking.
After a while, Daji heard him say again: "Well, Zilong has captured Lingzhou City. The development of the war situation is quite favorable for our side. As long as we securely capture Lingzhou City, it will be equivalent to cutting off Xu Fengyun."
Their supplies, in this way, they are equivalent to a piece of fish and cooked duck on the chopping board, we cannot let them fly..."
This time Daji did not disturb him.
Instead, she concentrated on making tea for him.
While the water was boiling, she stared at Zhao Changqing intently.
