Chapter 32 Which one of the stars in the sky is our Daming world?
Tong Guan was worthy of being a popular figure around the emperor. When he cried so miserably, the ministers immediately absolved him before the officials could say anything.
A crime other than war!
The ministers were a little helpless. Although this is true, Your Majesty, you can't just blame God for the defeat so childishly, right? Then Tong Guan, doesn't he have any responsibility?
Apart from anything else, if he didn't take the lead in escaping, how could the 100,000 well-equipped army be defeated in an instant without even the slightest ability to parry?
If it had been any other general, he would have been dismissed from his post and thrown into prison. But if it had been this Tong Guan, not only would he be fine, but looking at it like this, we have to comfort him in turn, so as not to leave anything behind for him.
Psychological shadow?
Isn't this difference in treatment too obvious? Just because he is missing a chicken, we have to accommodate him like this?
Although the ministers were slandering in their hearts, they couldn't do anything. The officials had already set the tone of the nature of the defeat when they opened their mouths. At this time, they couldn't take the initiative to confront the officials, right?
What if the officials lose their face and become angry and appoint themselves as the marshal to conquer Liangshanbo?
In the eyes of the officials, the current Liangshan Po is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Anyone who goes there will end up in defeat. No one wants to take such an unlucky job on themselves.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Tong Guan continued to kneel on the ground, kowtowing in pain, and looked like he wanted to die on the spot in the court. His acting skills were really impressive in the eyes of the ministers.
But there was no way, the officials still did this, and after being manipulated by Tong Guan, Zhao Ji's resentment towards Tong Guan was completely dissipated.
"Get up quickly. I told you that this battle is not your fault. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will have the same result no matter who they replace!"
Zhao Ji sighed and signaled to the officials around Tong Guan to help him up. Then he sighed with some embarrassment: "What do you think we should do with Liangshan Bo next?"
"Your Majesty, there are such monsters guarding Liangshan. It is difficult to rely solely on military operations. Why don't we recruit people?" A minister came out and said.
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
As long as he was not allowed to lead troops on an expedition, almost all civil and military officials in the court agreed with the suggestion of recruiting troops.
"Tong Guan, you should know Liang Shanbo best. Do you think this plan is feasible?" Regarding the recruitment strategy proposed by the ministers, Zhao Ji did not directly express his position, but asked Tong Guan.
"Your Majesty, after the veteran was defeated and captured, he had contact with Na Linnuo and proposed to him the idea of recruiting him!"
"What did Lin Nuo say?"
Tong Guan hesitated for a while, then hesitantly said: "He said that it is okay to recruit people, but there is one thing, Captain Gao must be handed over to him!"
"What?!" Zhao Ji stood up immediately with an angry look on his face, "It's too much to bully someone. How can this Lin Nuo hold such a grudge?"
Tong Guan said helplessly: "The old minister only came into contact with Na Linnuo once. After that, he took his beautiful wife to have fun in the house and did not show up for several days. As for the other grass bandit leaders in the village, they all spent the whole day
After half a month of drinking and eating meat, no one has come in contact with me again!"
After saying this, Zhao Ji was not angry anymore. In his opinion, a group of bandits who were happy and content with the status quo were hundreds of times better than the ambitious Fang La and his like!
"Have you ever told Lin Nuo that as long as he is willing to recruit people, I can grant him the title of Marquis?"
"The old minister said it, but Lin Nuo didn't care. He said that he was free and unrestrained in Liangshan Po, and he didn't want to enter the court again and get involved in those intrigues!"
Zhao Ji hummed and said nothing. After a while, he continued to speak: "Is there any information from the various capitals in Shandong? Is there any intention to send troops to attack other cities in Liangshanbo?"
Prime Minister Cai Jing quickly replied: "According to the information coming from various places, there were no other illegal actions after the war in Liangshan. A group of grass bandits were drinking and having fun in the mountains all day long, and they had no intention of sending troops!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji gently patted the dragon chair with both hands, remained silent for a moment, and finally made the final decision.
"Let's put the matter of Liang Shanbo aside for the time being. As long as they don't take the initiative to send troops to attack the city and seize the territory, don't worry about it for the time being! The top priority now is to put down the rebellion of Fang La, Tian Hu and others first!"
"You guys, do you have any good ideas?"
Seeing that the officials finally turned their attention to Fang La and others, Tong Guan's old face covered with tears couldn't help but show an expression of relief.
He has completed the mission of Leader Lin, and his life and that of his family have been saved!
.......
Let’s not mention the subsequent events in the Tokyo court for the time being. Let’s talk about Liangshan Bozhong. Lin Dazhao directly acted as a hands-off shopkeeper. Almost all major and small matters were left to Zhu Wu to arrange, while he took Xiuer with him, and every day was full of romance.
I was discussing martial arts, so my days were quite fulfilling.
"Lin Nuo, you said that each of the stars in the sky represents a world? Then which world was the Ming Dynasty before us?"
The top of Qianfeng Peak is a forbidden area in the entire Liangshan Mountain. No one is allowed to enter except the village owner and his wife. At this time, in the starry sky, Xiu'er nestled against Lin Nuo's chest and looked at it curiously.
Those bright stars.
"Who knows!" Lin Nuo said vaguely, stroking Xiu'er's smooth and silky hair.
"Tell me, father, will he miss us and your emperor's apprentice? Will he occasionally think of you as a teacher in the dead of night?"
"Probably, but we have arranged everything before we leave, so we don't need to worry about their affairs anymore!"
It was rare for Xiu'er to show such a sentimental side in front of him, so Lin Nuo held her tighter with pity.
"Lin Nuo, aren't you curious? What does Mr. Liu Bowen mean by asking for a promise? Even though we left, we didn't find any clues!"
Lin Nuo smiled and shook his head indifferently, "Actually, I care more about my father-in-law than this matter. Has he always been so strange before?"
When the father-in-law saw his son-in-law, he showed a frightened and humble attitude, which is somewhat intriguing.
"My father was not like this before!" Xiu'er recalled: "In my childhood memories, my father was a master of Feng Shui, confident and flamboyant, and quite arrogant."
"It's just that since he explored Liu Bowen's strange tomb, his whole person has changed. His personality is sometimes confident and sometimes extremely humble. Especially when it comes to things about you, my father is almost humble to the extreme."
"The feeling my father gives me is like two people. He wants to get in touch with you and have some contact with you, but he is extremely afraid of you. It seems that in his eyes, you are some kind of terrifying devil!"
