Zhang Tao came to the Imperial Study Room solemnly, and then put on a calm and loyal and patriotic look. He looked really decent. After greeting the emperor's uncle with fists clasped, the formal conversation began.
Everyone knows about Zhang Tao's right to be exempted from kneeling. In fact, very few people can get the honor of being exempted from kneeling. Gu He, as the emperor's master, can certainly get such an honor, but on the contrary, Zhang Tao is not qualified regardless of his age or seniority.
But he got it, which made many people secretly speculate and try to figure out the holy intention.
Zhang Tao succeeded at a young age and was repeatedly praised by Gu Longtian. He must have a bright future. It is a pity that Zhang Tao lives in the Forbidden Palace. Otherwise, there would be an endless stream of people coming to give gifts and build relationships. Because of this, Zhang Tao also
A lot less trouble.
At least in the Forbidden Palace, the eldest prince and the second prince cannot easily plot against him. There are many people in the palace, and now is the time for them to show off, and they will never take the risk to deal with him.
"Zhang Tao, I heard that you once again created a miracle in this forbidden palace competition, right?" Gu Longtian asked with a smile. Looking at him, he looked like a kind old man. It was impossible to tell that he was the king of a country, but no one could
You know, this seemingly approachable person is actually the current emperor. He can talk and laugh with you at this moment, but he will make your head fall to the ground the next moment.
The situation is ever-changing and the will of the Holy Spirit is unpredictable. This is one of the reasons why accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. "Miracles cannot be taken for granted. I am just doing my best to do my duty."
"Okay! Haha, it's a matter of my job. If I am surrounded by talents like you, then Honghao Kingdom will definitely be prosperous." Gu Longtian's words are not lies. Regarding the talents obtained this time,
, Gu Longtian is also quite satisfied. Although Yang Xiaobai's mysophobia is a bit intolerable, he is a truly talented person.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. I'm ashamed of myself." Zhang Tao saluted again and said.
In fact, what really surprised Zhang Tao was that there were two people in the imperial study room. One was an old acquaintance and classmate of his: Zhang Youcai, and the other was indeed an old general with fair hair and a boyish face. He looked so powerful and his eyes were like lightning.
Just by looking at him, you will know that this person must be extraordinary.
Coupled with the momentum accumulated from many years of battles, just standing here is frightening. It is not because of his extraordinary strength, but the momentum he has accumulated from long-term battles. Although he is only in casual clothes today, not in military uniform.
He is beautiful, but he doesn't dare to be underestimated at all.
In fact, Zhang Tao also knew that this old man was one of the two veterans of the dynasty: Yan Cha! As his name suggests, he has a lot of evil spirit. Although he has reached an advanced age, his eyes are very powerful. Most people may just be...
His legs will become weak just by looking at him.
Zhang Tao cupped his fists slightly, and Yan Cha also nodded. Although he nodded, it was not impolite, but because of his qualifications, nodding was considered good. Zhang Tao was just surprised, Zhang Youcai was really good, and he followed Yan Cha so quickly.
Yeah? His career in the military doesn't look bad.
"I heard that you can defeat the strong with the weak and turn defeat into victory with your own formation? I really made a mistake. I didn't expect Zhang Tao that you actually know how to march and form formations." Gu Longtian turned to the topic with a smile.
Zhang Tao said a few words modestly, but he was surprised in his heart. It seemed that the rumors were not entirely credible. He clearly said that it was taught by his master, but when it reached the ears of the emperor, it was his own creation. But it didn't matter. This way he could take credit for his achievements.
Bigger.
"I wonder what's so mysterious about the name of your formation?" Gu Longtian asked.
Zhang Tao told the truth and told all the secrets of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation without any reservations. This was originally Zhang Tao's stepping stone. It was by relying on this that he could successfully penetrate into the army, and then he could fight with Yan Lao openly.
The general communicated with people who Gu Weiran could not contact in person.
"It's really mysterious. I never thought that you could actually create such an exquisite formation. You know, this has never happened in the history of Honghao Kingdom. Today, General Yan heard the rumors about you and came here specially to see you.
The formation is mysterious." Gu Longtian pointed at Yan Cha and said.
"General Yan was able to delay the 130,000 elite troops in the prairie for five days and five nights with 30,000 remnant troops. In the face of such a record, what does my little trick mean?" Zhang Tao said politely.
.As for the veteran generals of Honghao Kingdom, which one of them doesn’t have outstanding military exploits? Which one of them is not a famous general of the generation?
"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. Although I have been fighting for many years, I am still not blind. Your eight-door golden lock formation is definitely a formation that can turn the world around and seize the enemy's advantage. It is really an eye-opener for me.
Although I don’t want to obey my old age, I have to admit that the era of you young people is coming.” Yan Cha said this, and he was also referring to Zhang Youcai. Obviously, the formation he saw today made his trip worthwhile.
..
"General Yan, you are too polite. We are just juniors. We hope to learn more from the general in the future and hope that the general can encourage us more." Zhang Tao said modestly, but he was thinking in his heart that this formation is not from this world in the first place.
Yes, of course this is the first time you have seen it, and of course it is exquisite. Master Ju Gongzi said that this formation was once very popular, and it completely controlled the battlefield.
"Young people are very talented, but also very humble and calm. They are really rare. Your Majesty is worthy of being a saint of a generation. He can recognize heroes with a keen eye and discover such talents." What does it mean to be ginger or old? Even when you praise yourself, you have to flatter yourself.
And it leaves no trace, does not look artificial at all, and coupled with the qualifications of a veteran general, it will definitely make people feel happy, even the emperor.
After the exchange of pleasantries ended, Zhang Tao began to explain the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation. How to set up the formation, how to change it, how to arrange the number of people, etc. all need to be strictly controlled. However, it was not Yan Sha who learned it, but Zhang Youcai.
"Brother Zhang, you are really powerful. You are also so sharp in military formations. This formation is much better than all the formations you know. Moreover, this formation can be large or small, and is suitable for local warfare."
, it is also suitable for large forces to fight, it is like an all-round formation, which opened my eyes." Zhang Youcai said seriously, the admiration in his tone was obvious.
"Am I the one who should admire you? This formation changes endlessly. It cannot be mastered accurately in a day or two, but you are a talented brother and you can actually get familiar with it and get started in such a short time.
, it’s really unbelievable.” It must be said that Zhang Youcai has military talents that ordinary people cannot match.
Seeing the two young people admiring each other and praising each other, but both of them were self-effacing, Gu Longtian and Yan Cha were also quite satisfied: "You were classmates originally, and now your military talents are so extraordinary. You might as well move around more and communicate more in the future."
, learn from each other, and we can make further progress, and serve the country and the emperor better in the future." Yan Cha said with a smile.
The more he looked at these two young men, the more he liked them. If he hadn't known that Zhang Tao was now the Emperor's favorite, he would have dragged him into the military camp at any cost.
However, Zhang Tao was overjoyed. What he was waiting for was Yan Cha's words: "Thank you, General Yan. Zhang Tao will definitely cherish the opportunity."
"Haha, Zhang Tao, you have made a great contribution this time. With such a formation, the border defense army will definitely become more powerful and stronger. It can better protect the prairie and protect our country. Tell me, what do I want?
How can I reward you? Huh?" Gu Longtian didn't seem to hear Yan Cha's words and directly changed the subject... Obviously he didn't want all the talents to be taken away by the army, and the place where he lived also needed talents.
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. It is also the responsibility of a citizen of Honghao to contribute to the country. As for rewards, Zhang Tao does not dare to ask for extravagant rewards." Zhang Tao said seriously.
"It's a pity. If I had a girl under my knees, everything would be possible. You have only been an official for a short period of time, and you have already made several contributions. Although I want to promote you, you are still too young.
I also hope that you can continue to practice for a few more years, how about I give you another privilege?" Gu Longtian looked regretful, and then after thinking for a moment, he finally relaxed his brows and said with a smile. But Zhang Tao was speechless in his heart, do you want to
Do you want me to be your consort?
But it’s normal that you don’t have a daughter. How can you give birth to a daughter just by relying on the Holy Finger? Of course, Zhang Tao wouldn’t dare to say this even to death, otherwise the nine tribes would be exterminated. But what makes Zhang Tao curious is what the privilege is?
Uncle Emperor, you have no right to kneel, what rights do you have now? It really makes people look forward to it. "Although the East Palace is important, there is no prince yet, so relatively speaking, there is a lot of leisure. You are trapped in the palace all day long, just like diving.
Just like a dragon, why don't I give you the privilege of entering and exiting the palace at will? Unless you have an extremely important errand on duty, you can be more free." Gu Longtian said.
Zhang Tao was stunned when he heard this. What is this? What does this privilege mean? Does it imply that he has more time to study with Yan Cha? Or does he have extra time to interact with Gu Weiran? Is this a hint?
Or are you overthinking it? But in any case, this privilege is very good! Otherwise, Zhang Tao would have to go through tedious procedures every time he leaves the palace. Often if he wants to leave the palace today, he would have to apply in advance yesterday, which is quite a lot.
It's troublesome, but now it's no longer needed. It can be regarded as providing convenience to oneself, which is a privilege that makes Zhang Tao extremely satisfied.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." In any case, this is a good thing. After thanking the Emperor, even if this matter comes to an end, Zhang Youcai and Yan Sha must immediately entrust this formation to the elite army and start using it immediately.
There is no extra time to get together with Zhang Tao, but at this time a secret plan is quietly underway...
