"Master Li," the Honglu Temple minister next to him suddenly said, "It's the Double Ninth Festival now, and it's been less than three months since His Majesty sealed the pen at the end of the year."
"Speaking of General Yuan, I think of his Cavalry General Palace. It should be upgraded by the end of this year..."
Although the minister of Honglu Temple spoke vaguely, everyone present could hear it clearly and couldn't help but perked up and looked at Li Shilang with burning eyes.
"This..." Li Shilang's eyes flickered, noncommittal.
"Everyone, since ancient times, the rise and fall of every high-ranking general's palace in our Yunchui means the increase or decrease of the imperial nobility and the changes in the power of the wealthy families in Star Chronicle City. We need to be cautious and cautious again and again. There is a book to follow."
Or at least on the surface, it has to be based on a book.
For generals, it is usually military merit statistics submitted by the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Personnel for review.
"I am not from the official department. Master Luo is embarrassing me by asking this question."
hehe.
The minister of Honglu Temple laughed dryly.
Before he could speak, Li Shilang had already puffed up his chest slightly and lifted his beard in a reserved manner.
"What a coincidence, the official office..."
"It's not far from my Ministry of Rites. I usually travel with Mr. Fan, and occasionally I can hear him when I pass by."
Tsk tsk.
Banchai and the others were so smart that they immediately complimented him.
"Master Li is indeed Yun Chui's humerus, the backbone of the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Shangshu's right and left hand..."
"Just kidding, just kidding." After a long while, Li Shilang pressed his hands to signal everyone to stop, and then continued with a smile.
"Everyone here is a friend. We usually don't look up or down. Some of the things I say are just casually said when everyone is chatting. You must not take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
"Everyone knows, please say it. Please say it." Everyone responded with a smile.
cough.
Li Shilang calmly cleared his throat again.
"I heard from Shangshu that Your Majesty has always had a good impression of General Yuan. He has repeatedly praised him in public for his loyalty to his duties, loving his soldiers like a son, using his soldiers like a god, and his outstanding military exploits during the period when he was guarding southern Xinjiang.
A model..."
"As for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although there is still some time before the end of the year, we have quickly made statistics. It is said that General Yuan has accumulated a lot of military merits..."
The Cavalry General's Mansion has almost reached the point where it has been upgraded to a middle-ranking uncle's mansion.
Tsk tsk.
After hearing this, the minister of Honglu Temple on the side expressed envy in his tone.
"General Yuan seems to be only about forty. He is really young and promising."
"That's right." Li Shilang nodded in agreement, stroking his beard, "Among the generals guarding the empire's legions, General Wei and General Huo can be compared."
After saying all this, the two chatted casually for a few more words, and then Shi Shiran left the Vientiane Pavilion with his subordinates.
"Doctor Qing," when the two of them walked away, one of the subordinates was confused, "What do Li and Luo mean?"
snort.
Banchai glared at the speaker angrily.
I have no idea where this idiot came from. How did he get in with him and the envoy?
Yun Chui's titles, except Cheng'en's Mansion, all come from military merit.
In other words, if Yun Chui's generals want to be promoted or retain their title, they must fight and win.
Princes and princes...
The Earl's Mansion also has a place among the nobles in Yunchui. But Yuan Xingwen is so young that he is not willing to succumb to the position of a mere uncle.
If the person sitting on the dragon throne is still the kind of Emperor Changxing who only cares about maintaining success but not making progress, then he may just huddle in Zhennan Pass and waste his time as before.
But Ren Ning, who is sitting on the dragon throne now, is not an easy person to deal with.
Judging from his past experience, he is a very militant person. As long as small countries offend him, they will attack the city in a matter of seconds.
When Yuan Xingwen met this master, it was like a dragon entering a deep pool or a phoenix meeting a fierce flame. Coupled with the fact that he is young and strong and has a heavy army, life in the south will not be easy in the future?
As soon as he introduced him like this, his subordinates reacted and immediately looked at each other, sweating profusely.
"Doctor Qing, then...then what should we do?"
What else can be done?
Wanxiang couldn't even afford to offend Nanfeng, let alone crush Nanfeng's Yun Chui to death in minutes.
"Yun Chui is shameless, Emperor Taixi is shameless! Doesn't it mean that those who are close to him can live a good life? How come we are forced to come here in a blink of an eye?"
"Shut up." Banchai yelled in a low voice, "You still have the nerve to say, have you forgotten what your family has done?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Wanxiang Pavilion fell silent instantly.
In the past few years, Nanfeng took the lead in testing Yunchui. From time to time, he sent small forces deep into Guangxin Baihua and Canglan counties, burning down the local medicine fields and villages, massacring and plundering the people of Yunchui.
The other small countries in southern Xinjiang, including Wanxiang, had not reacted much when they saw Yun Chui, and they felt a lot relieved. Besides being itchy, they also encouraged their subordinates to cross the border to do some sneaky things.
It seems that Wei Junqian did not cause trouble to these small countries after he captured Nanfeng. They should pray to God and Buddha to thank God.
Maybe Yuan Xingwen still remembered these old accounts in his notebook at this time, and he was worried that he had no place to find fault with them.
"Yes, as the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not bite. Yuan Xingwen, who was stationed at Zhennanguan for these years, has always been invisible until the Xingluo Army moved to Guangxin a few years ago.
Just take action. If you don't take action, it will be a thunder. We must not take him lightly."
"That's right, Yuan Xingwen is definitely a man who appears magnanimous but is actually very mean and vengeful. Don't give him any excuse to send troops. Otherwise, our Wanxiang will be like Nanfeng. When the troops come to the city, the country will be ruined."
"You're right."
…
snort.
Amid the commotion, Banchai snorted distractedly.
"You don't need to tell me, I also know how powerful it is."
But soon, he clasped his shoulders in frustration.
In the final analysis, Banchai is just Vientiane's envoy to Star City. To put it bluntly, he is just a mouthpiece between the two countries.
Apart from communication, no matter what Yun Chui wants to kill or do, he is powerless to stop him.
well.
Someone next to me felt the same and let out a long sigh.
"No wonder they say that national strength is the foundation of diplomacy. There is a huge difference in strength between our Wanxiang and Yunchui. No matter what they want to do, even if we are unhappy, we can only hold our noses and accept it silently."
Some people have different opinions.
"Everyone, to put it bluntly, Yun Chui is so powerful that he could have ignored us, but he still sent Li and Luo to have a discussion, which is worthy of the magnanimity of a great country. Unlike those turtles and grandsons in Nanfeng who kept silent
Send troops to attack across the border."
Wanxiang has suffered from their cowardice over the years.
"That's all." Bancai didn't think about it any more.
"You, you, you." He named several subordinates who were good at writing, "Hurry up and write the report back. The words must be serious and solemn. Once you have written it, send someone back to Vientiane after I have read it."
"Yes." Several people whose names were called responded quickly.
"Also, send someone to find out what Li and Luo said in other museums."
