"I lost my composure." After Jian Qu just said that, he felt like he was in trouble and wiped his eyes hastily: "I'll give you a toast!"
The two continued to drink. After a while, someone outside the tent shouted: "Master Su, are you in there? Eunuch Zhao, please come over!"
"In that case, let's make an appointment with my dear brother another day." Jian Qu stood up with a bow and left immediately.
Su Ziji changed his clothes and went to the hall. When he passed by the wing, a door suddenly opened and Shao Sisen came out, coughing and calling.
Seeing him coughing from time to time, Su Ziji had to remind him again: "Brother Shao, have you asked a military doctor to see him again?"
Shao Sisen smiled and said: "I have seen it, brother, don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I'm afraid it's the cold winter and I caught a cold, so I couldn't stop coughing."
As he spoke, he coughed a few more times.
"I've asked someone to boil the medicine and drank it twice. I think the fever will subside in a few days."
Su Ziji wanted to say more, but Shao Sisen turned serious and lowered his voice: "By the way, you came to the village to see Eunuch Zhao?"
Su Ziji nodded: "Yes."
There is nothing to hide.
Shao Sisen looked around and saw that there was no one around. He covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice before saying: "Ahem, dear brother, I have something to say, and you may not be happy to hear it, but after all, you and I have known each other, ahem.
, there have been misunderstandings and adversities, but for the sake of your future, I have to tell you."
Shao Sisen's expression became solemn and upright: "We come from Imperial College and are serious scholars. From now on, we will follow the path of formal origins. We will be promoted if we are clean and do not conform to the facts."
"You can't be too close to your father-in-law. Although Supervisor Zhao is a person who serves the emperor, being close to him is helpful at first, but it is no less than drinking poison to quench thirst... Moreover, the eunuch can only control the inner prison. In our Dazheng
, you cannot interfere in the affairs of the outer court. If you accuse Wen Lin of being a eunuch, you will be sad in the future... ahem... I'm afraid you will be sad in the future..."
Seeing that he had a fever and cough, I still wanted to persuade him. These words can easily offend people. They are words from the bottom of my heart. It is not that Su Zi’s status is special. Any scholar who has close contact with his father-in-law will destroy his future and be ignored by others.
shame.
Su Ziji couldn't help but be moved, and at the same time there was also a hint of uneasiness.
Although the relationship between himself and Shao Sisen has indeed eased and there are signs of friendship, it is really not enough to say these words. Shao Sisen's current situation, coupled with the assertion of the wild Taoist, really makes Su Ziji
I felt ominous in my heart.
He opened his mouth, but in the end all he said was: "I understand, brother Shao, just don't worry."
Shao Sisen saw that the soldiers leading the way not far away were looking over, and he coughed and said, "That's good, just be more careful."
Su Ziji could only leave.
When they arrived at Supervisor Zhao's tent, Supervisor Zhao was already anxiously walking around the tent. When he saw him coming in, he immediately said: "Su Juren, let's not talk nonsense. I want to ask you, if a fight starts now, can you do it?"
win?"
Perhaps it was something rash that made Inspector Zhao timid, but his heart was even more urgent. Su Ziji not only had a different identity, he was also the leader of the last rescue. Inspector Zhao subconsciously gained more trust and summoned Su Ziji this time.
I went to Su Ziji to discuss it.
Su Ziji shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate."
"How to say?"
"The enemy and thieves have surrendered fifty-six strongholds. Although it is not as good as expected, it does not harm the overall situation. As long as we continue to wait, the enemy strongholds will not be able to hold on and surrender."
"But if we fight now, we may not be able to win."
Inspector Zhao's mouth was blistered, and he was very anxious. At this time, he said in a sharp voice: "But if we continue to wait, when will we wait? The court is waiting, the emperor is waiting! Hey! Our family is
I don’t want to wait any longer!”
Su Ziji was shocked, knowing that the emperor might have another secret order, so he had to persuade: "Eunuch, if we don't fight now, Qian Zhidong can't use any tricks, but if we want to fight, he is the commander-in-chief of the army, and his hands and feet are too powerful."
If there are too many, then the Hungry Wolf Ridge incident will happen again, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?”
"Even if we want to fight, in fact, we have to wait for the enemy chief to strike first. Now we have to compete with whoever has the patience."
Inspector Zhao wanted to say something else, but after thinking about Su Ziji's words, he felt it made sense.
Finally, he let out a long sigh: "It seems that we can only continue to wait."
Obviously, I am quite disappointed with this result.
At this moment, someone hurriedly reported at the door: "Father, the enemy chief is here!"
Supervisor Zhao was immediately startled and asked someone to come in and reply: "What, the enemy chief has attacked again. You are so bold..."
"Father, you have misunderstood the meaning!" The man knelt down and replied: "The enemy chief Musang entered the camp with only two people. At this time, he was almost at Master Cui's tent!"
"How dare he come here with two people?" Supervisor Zhao immediately regretted it. His heart was pounding. He was looking forward to it but also a little uneasy. He took a few steps outside and suddenly stopped.
"Su Juren, come with our family to have a look."
"Yes." Su Ziji was also a little curious, so naturally he would not refuse.
The cottage hall had been used to accumulate supplies for the cavalry team. Now all the discussions were carried out in the main tent, and this time was no exception. Following Supervisor Zhao, Su Ziji and Supervisor Zhao quickly arrived at the main tent.
Some people have arrived at the big tent. Qin Fengliang, Qin Mao, Qian Zhidong and others have all arrived. Surrounded by deputy generals and generals, there are even hundreds of households and merchants watching the excitement outside. Su Ziji turns his eyes and even sees
The wild Taoist couldn't help but show a smile, but then quickly restrained it.
Seeing that Su Ziji came with Supervisor Zhao, Qian Zhidong curled his lips with a trace of disdain, while Qin Fengliang lowered his eyes, as calm as an old monk in meditation.
Only Qin Mao looked at Su Ziji and showed disapproval, but it was not easy to talk casually in this place, so he could only look at Su Ziji a few times and said nothing.
Everyone met at the entrance of the big tent, each nodded and went inside to exchange greetings.
Although Su Ziji came with Supervisor Zhao, he had no official position and was located in the back corner. Since Shao Sisen didn't come over, he felt a different kind of conspicuousness when he was alone.
At least some people looked at me with a sense of schadenfreude.
"Originally, when I was valued by Cui Zhaoquan, even though I had no official position or position, I was often placed in the front. Since I had no official position or position, I had more freedom in arrangements."
"Now that I am arranged to sit in the corner, it is also in line with the status of an attaché, but compared with the attention I received before, it seems down and out."
"It seems that Cui Zhaoquan is dissatisfied with my repeated closeness to Eunuch Zhao. Moreover, it can also be seen that Cui Zhaoquan feels that he has a chance to win and will be able to go back soon. He has begun to stop reining in the conflict with Eunuch Zhao."
Su Ziji sat there with his eyes lowered, not caring that Cui Zhaoquan, who was leading him, was indifferent to him, but the old god was there, and he began to think about the god of the village - is it a monster?
It wasn't until Qin Mao actually changed his position and leaned to his side that Su Ziji raised his head and looked over.
Qin Mao asked in a low voice: "Why have you been with Eunuch Zhao recently?"
Probably because he thought this was a bit rash, he concealed it and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just think that after the war is over and you have to return to Beijing to take part in the examination, it would be better to read more books."
