Wu Anran took Chu Zheng back to the East Courtyard and ordered a few servants to find out who was beaten by Chu Zheng just now.
When Wu Anran learned that it was the eldest grandson of the Chu family's sect leader, he felt that this was a bit troublesome. As soon as Chu Mingtang and his wife returned to the East Courtyard, they took Chu Zheng to report to the two of them what happened today.
Chu Mingtang was a little unhappy when he heard this, but Wang Xiuhe didn't care. The fight was initiated by Chu Mingting's son. If it weren't for Chu Zheng, he would have some self-protection ability, and the one who was beaten would be his son.
What's more, Chu Mingtang is still an outsider to Shangjing Chu Mansion. Although no one dares to treat the Taiwei, his children may inevitably be secretly bullied.
After Chu Mingtang left, Wang Xiuhe called Chu Zheng to his side and said with a smile: Zheng'er, since you have been beaten today, you have already formed a grudge. You brothers and three of you are not worried. What you are worried about is whether your two sisters will be bullied by them in the future. Since you have this ability, you will beat them once and once. They are rude to you. If they are rude to you, you will force them to be rude to you and then fight again. In short, you will beat them to convince them. Even our servants dare not bully them at will.
Chu Zheng was so excited that he wanted to go to those kids immediately and beat them up.
Liu Qingru and the three girls only found it incredible. How could the mother teach her son like this?
But Chu Mingtang still wants to apologize to Chu Tianfang. After all, Chu Zheng beat his eldest grandson, so he should express his feelings no matter how hard he wants to say it.
Chu Mingtang entered the door and saw a young man with a black face full of blue face and was crying to Chu Tian. It must be that Chu Shen pacified Chu Mingtang in secret, and Zheng'er was quite ruthless.
Chu Mingtang made a salute to Chu Tian: Mingtang has met his uncle
Chu Tian waved his hand and signaled Chu Shenping to go out. Chu Shenping was unwilling to accept it, but he had to follow him. He stared at Chu Mingtang with resentment, turned around and left.
Chu Mingtang saw the boy going out and was about to speak, Chu Tianfang said: Mingtang, you are fighting for a few children, what is the reason between children? I just told Shen Ping that if you lose the fight, you are incompetent. Why are you crying when you run here? I heard that more than a dozen people beat one. It's really embarrassing.
Chu Mingtang was stunned, but he didn't expect Chu Tianfang to be so generous
Chu Tian sighed and said: If Shenping continues like this, he will probably be the same as his father. He only knows how to bully others by virtue. Now that Mingting is not here, he doesn't know what to do. This time, a lesson may not be a bad thing.
Chu Tianfang suddenly changed his mind and said suddenly: Mingtang is still a little suspicious of me, right?
Chu Mingtang was shocked and said with a smile: Why did Uncle say this? Mingtang has always respected Uncle very much...
Chu Tian shook his head and said: Mingtang, you don’t have to argue. If you don’t have suspicion about me, then you are not Chu Mingtang, nor are you the Taiwei of Chu.
Pour another glass of wine and toast to Chu Mingtang: You and I are here, why not talk openly and honestly
Chu Mingtang stared at him for a while, then suddenly raised his glass and slapped them all.
Chu Mingtang put down the cup and said: Since uncle said that, Mingtang wants to ask something
Speaking
Why is Mingtang so hasty to replace the sect leader this time? He knows nothing about it in advance, and... Chu Mingtang played with the wine glass and said slowly: Mingtang means, uncle should know what Mingtang means.
Chu Tian smiled and said: Of course I understand that when I took over the position of sect leader, not only did the Chu clan come, but almost all the ministers in the capital arrived. Even the late emperor also visited the Chu mansion and personally gave me the iron scrolls of the hereditary Xiaoyao Hou. That night, the Chu mansion was crowded with people, and almost drank all the wine in the capital. Mingtang, you will naturally feel dissatisfied when you take over Leng Lingqingqing this time.
Chu Mingtang blushed and said: My nephew only thinks that at least the major families and emperors in Beijing should be notified.
Chu Tianfang suddenly snorted and said: Notify them, except for the Wang family, how many others can come? Mingtang, you are very scheming and smart and capable, but after all, you have been away from the capital for more than ten years. You don’t know much about the matter in the capital. Do you think our Chu family is still as glorious as it used to be? What the emperor is most worried about now is our Chu family, and he wishes he could get rid of it and get it right away.
Chu Mingtang said suspiciously: The emperor has always been taboo about the Chu family. Which powerful family in history is not taboo by the emperor? It can be said that it will be eliminated quickly. Uncle, this is not the case.
Chu Tianfang sneered: Not so? If not, how could I pass on the position of the sect leader to you instead of Mingting? Although Mingting is mediocre, she is still more than enough to be a Taiping sect leader. Do you think I am really so selfless? A joke, if others don’t care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth! I am just afraid that Mingting will be unable to deal with the future situation of the Chu clan, Mingtang. Don’t think that everything will be fine if you take the position of the sect leader. The burden on your shoulders is much heavier than I did back then. Do you still remember the Dong family back then?
Chu Mingtang felt a stern
Chu Tianfang sighed to the sky:The nine major families of the founding of the Great Zhao State, Chu, Wang, Fang, Dong, Xiao, Cheng, Huang, Xie, Lin, among which the three families of Huang, Xie and Lin were executed as early as the beginning of the founding of the country. The other six families controlled more than 90% of the government affairs of the court in the late Taizong period. It can be said that the two late emperors after Taizong were just empty-handed. Among them, the Dong family was the most powerful. In the early years of Emperor Wu, they reached their peak and were domineering. They squeezed out our Chu, Wang, and Xiao families from the capital. The Cheng family who stayed in the capital followed the Dong family. The two families had two prime ministers, four ministers, and countless officials of all sizes were countless. They almost forced Emperor Wu to abdicate. In order to eradicate the Dong family, Emperor Wu sent people to secretly contact the opposition Chu and Wang families, and brought 50,000 northern border troops and 30,000 western front troops to enter the capital at night. It is said that the 80,000 troops were killed in the capital for three days and three nights before the Dong family was eradicated.
Chu Tianfang suddenly opened his eyes and shone with his brilliance: Mingtang, you think, in the eyes of the current emperor, the Chu family is so similar to the Dong family back then. The two families of the King of Chu have advanced and retreated together. Wang Lie's eldest daughter is your wife. Officials under the Shangshu in the court are attached to Chu, and about half of the Wang family are under the power of the Dong family. Although they are not as powerful as the Dong family in the court, Mingtang, you have the nearly 200,000 troops in the southern front. In the eyes of the emperor, my Chu family is probably even worse than the Dong family back then.
Chu Mingtang was sweating in cold sweat and murmured: Can't our Chu family take a step back?
Chu Tianfang smiled bitterly and said: How to retreat? If you are not allowed to be the Grand Marshal and return home, would you be willing to Mingtang? I asked me to order officials of the Chu clan from all over the country to go home. Can I do it? Are those tribesmen willing? Besides, even if the Chu family is willing to lose their wings, can you be sure that the emperor will let the Chu family go?
The two were silent for a long time, and Chu Tianfang suddenly whispered: Mingtang, the emperor is eager to deal with our Chu family, mainly because he may have a good life in a few years.
Chu Mingtang was shocked and said: Are these words serious?
Chu Tian said: It's definitely true. The imperial doctors in the palace said that the emperor was overworking and his body was almost drying up. At most, it took only three years to reach the crown prince's talent and poor virtue. The emperor must be worried.
As he said that, he took another sip of wine
Chu Mingtang couldn't help but interrogate: Uncle means that the emperor will attack my Chu family in the past few years for the sake of the crown prince?
It's exactly
Chu Mingtang then realized what kind of mess he received. No wonder Chu Tianfang passed the position of the sect leader to him so readily.
Chu Mingtang said hatefully: Why didn’t my uncle stay in the position of sect leader to lead the Chu family through difficulties? Whether it is experience or experience, my uncle is far better than Mingtang. Why bother Mingtang... to suffer this crime?
Chu Tian sighed: Mingtang doesn't have to be rude. How many people in the world can compare to me, like a candle in the wind, saying that I will go first one day before the emperor. When Mingtang, you ascend to the throne leader, Mingting will definitely not be willing to surrender to you. There are some restless people in the Chu family in various places. At that time, there were strong enemies outside and civil strife broke out again. The Chu family might be destroyed, let alone compete with the emperor. Regardless of the victory or defeat, I feel that it is unbearable.
Chu Mingtang was a little puzzled: Why is this?
Chu Tian said slowly: If I lead the Chu family and lose, it will be the sinner of the Chu family forever. How can I face the ancestors of the Chu family? But if I win, I don’t know what to do. Perhaps at most I can establish a new king from the royal family. However, in this way, the Chu family has a larger influence in the court and the opposition, and is even more jealous of the royal family.
Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the rulers and ministers have fought against each other in history. Although many powerful ministers can do their best for a while, the royal family will win in the end. The only exception is Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. However, none of the scholars and people in the world are convinced of him, thinking that he was a traitor, and they all raised troops to attack him. In the end, the world will return to the Liu family's ambition has passed. I don't want to be Wang Mang and others. I will still entrust the Chu family with Mingtang. I have nothing to ask for Mingtang to always put the clan members first.
Chu Mingtang was speechless. Do you just want to be Wang Mang?
********************
After reporting to Chu Mingtang and his wife what happened today, Wu Anran took Chu Zheng back to her yard
Wu Anran scolded Chu Zheng first and explained every move he fought with Chen Zhenzhong. Chu Zheng did not say anything for the first time. After listening carefully, he took the initiative to learn the Illusion Heaven Palm and the Great Soul Search Hand. Wu Anran was immediately excited and very happy. He thought that the only disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect finally turned around and quickly sent someone to inform the outing garden that Chu Zheng would not go back today.
Chu Zheng was defeated by Chen Zhenzhong in the morning, and finally realized that his martial arts foundation was still shallow, and bullying ordinary people was OK. When he met a real master, he couldn't fight back.
Therefore, Chu Zheng and Wu Anran even ate some lunch casually and devoted themselves to practicing.
Zheng'er, your move is just now, butterfly pounce, and it makes you old. Remember, this move is a false move, which is intended to tempt you to pounce with all your strength. If you attack your back door competition, you must retain your strength and wait for turning around and leaning back to counterattack, so that you will not be able to take advantage of the enemy!
Chu Zheng sighed: Master, from the morning to now, I have practiced this trick. Butterfly pounce for the ninth time. Your requirements are too high.
Wu Anran came over from the shade of the tree to re-exercise the demonstration and asked Chu Zheng to take a closer look
Wu Anran rushed forward, then jumped back, and quickly bent backward, forming an iron-plate bridge posture
This pounce, one jump, one tilt, is the life-saving trick designed to attack the enemy.
Wu Anran's posture is graceful and solid. He talks while he is talking. Chu Zheng is fascinated by his eyes and his lust arises again.
It turned out that the weather was still hot after autumn, and with thin clothes, Wu Anran's body's concave contours appeared as soon as he sweated.
When the body is used as an iron bridge, the lower body will naturally rise upwards.
Due to sweating, Wu Anran's plump and towering vagina were pressed against the white trousers, and the black pubic hair and tender flesh slits were clearly printed.
When Chu Zheng saw it, the beautiful scenery of the night suddenly appeared in his mind; at this time, Wu Anran was as naked as he was in his eyes, and Chu Zheng's vajra immediately stood up hard.
After Wu Anran explained, he stood up and saw Chu Zheng bent over and dare not stand upright. The crotch of his pants was bulging high, just like a yurt.
She looked down at her sweaty clothes, and she couldn't help but realize it, and her heart was infuriated.
She thought to herself that it was too unreasonable to think about it during the day when practicing qigong.
She seriously explained the tricks of practicing, asking Chu Zheng to practice by herself; then glared at Chu Zheng fiercely, turned around, and went to the shade of the tree to cool down.
The cool breeze blew under the shade of the trees, Wu Anran sat on the chair, feeling that the heat had disappeared, and she couldn't help but feel drowsy.
Chu Zheng, who was practicing qigong aside in a daze, suddenly jumped up quickly, quickly controlled Wu Anran's acupoints, and took her into the bedroom next to him, tied the rope to the beam, tied her hands and hung it up, and took off her clothes.
Wu Anran felt angry and panicked, and she scolded: You beast! Let me go! You are so confused! I am your master! Chu Zheng turned a blind eye.
After a while, Wu Anran was stripped of all his legs. At this time, Chu Zheng rubbed her tender white and plump breasts and said with a smile: Master, I know that Master has worked hard. That night I saw that I came to be filial to Master now, and I promise not to disappoint Master!
Although Wu Anran felt humiliated and angry, his acupoints were controlled and his hands were hung up, so he could not help.
When Chu Zheng caressed her naked and plump body freely, Wu Anran suddenly realized that he seemed to have a subtle expectation for this obscene behavior.
Chu Zheng leaned over and wanted to kiss Wu Anran. Wu Anran turned his head reservedly, but Chu Zheng held her cheek with both hands and kissed her hard.
The heavy breathing and warm lips made Wu Anran confused; the invading tongue forcefully pry open her tightly closed teeth and enter her wet mouth. Wu Anran involuntarily rolled her fragrant tongue and fought against the invading tongue.
Chu Zheng's tongues entangled with each other and touched closely. Wu Anran's tongue was sucked by Chu Zheng from time to time. Wu Anran gradually became intoxicated by the passionate kiss and fell into the waves of lust.
Chu Zheng turned around and squatted behind Wu Anran, greedily stroking Wu Anran's legs. He stroked his round calves to his plump thighs, touched and rubbed them, and went up and down.
Wu Anran's soft elasticity and smooth touch made him unable to put down his love
Under the kiss and touch, Wu Anran's usual dignified and majestic expression was completely lost
Not only did her body twist, she couldn't help but moan with pleasure. The flood of vaginal fluid also flowed out of her wet lower body, wetting her entire legs and crotch.
Suddenly, a feeling of unprecedented heart-eroding bones, penetrated from the anus, and she couldn't help but tremble all over her body; her originally fragile defense also collapsed completely in an instant
Wu Anran gave up resistance from the bottom of her heart. With the increasing strange pleasure, she was hungry and eagerly looking forward to the rough attack of her beloved disciple.
Chu Zheng opened Wu Anran's white and plump buttocks and licked Wu Anran's tight and seductive anus with his tongue. Wu Anran, who had never tasted this kind of taste, could not stand the pleasure of being pierced by the heart.
She felt the feeling of emptiness and hunger increased dozens of times, and her hands were desperately needed to hug something. She couldn't help but hum in a hurry: Hurry! Let go of my hand! Oh! Master can't stand it anymore! Hurry Ah!…
Chu Zheng saw her eyes flowing, and her spring was full of energy; her lower body was wet, and she couldn't bear hunger and thirst; so he controlled her Qihai acupoint, so that she could not condense her internal force, and the other acupoints were unbuttoned together with the rope.
Wu Anran, who had just gained freedom, rushed towards Chu Zheng like a hungry tiger. She hugged Chu Zheng tightly with both hands, and her cherry lips also bit Chu Zheng's shoulder wildly.
Chu Zheng felt pain, his lower body was particularly excited, and the vajra, like a rolling pin, was raised up straight, and he pressed against Wu Anran's crotch through his pants.
Chu Zheng quickly took off his pants and hugged Wu Anran behind him.
He yelled in Wu Anran's ear: Master, let me be filial to you first!
While he said, he put the vajra towards Wu Anran's wet and slightly opened peach petals
Wu Anran hugged Chu Zheng tightly and refused to let go, but his white and round buttocks rose up; the wet petals were full of spring, and the door was wide open, as if they were ready to stop, just waiting for the wild bee to come to explore the hole to collect honey!
Wu Anran's unique and delicate pussy faced the knocking of a thick vajra for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.
She was comfortable, a little painful, expectant, but also a little afraid, and felt extremely frightened and uneasy.
Suddenly, a giant thing broke into the door, and Wu Anran felt a stern heart and couldn't help but exclaim
She was shocked and saw Chu Zheng on the side still sweating profusely, practicing the move with the butterfly rushing, while the cool breeze under the shade of the trees was still chirping, and the cicadas were still chirping. Just now, it was a dream of Nan Ke. Her face turned red and her heart beat like a tide. Her thoughts were like a tide.
At this time, a breeze blew, and she felt a chill between her legs and crotch. Her underwear and her pants were soaked
Wu Anran felt ashamed, but couldn't help but think: Could it be that Zheng'er's words are really as thick as a dream?
********************
The next morning, Chu Tianfang and Chu Mingtang stood at the door of Chu Mansion, and the servants had already prepared the carriage.
Chu Tianfang said: Ming Tang, according to the court's convention, the Taiwei and Situ were in charge of the six ministries. The Taiwei was in charge of the three ministries, including the official, the etiquette and the work. The most important of the Ministry of Personnel will be the Minister of Personnel Tang Shouwang, who is Fang Lingxin's brother-in-law, and the emperor has appointed you as the Taiwei. It seems that it has been carefully considered.
Chu Mingtang asked with a gloomy face: My nephew has been away from the capital for many years and is not familiar with the people and affairs in the court. I don’t know what Tang Shuowong’s talent and reputation are?
He went back last night and finally thought it through. Since he had no choice but to take a try.
Chu Tianfang smiled and said: This person's talent is mediocre, and his reputation is even more messy. If an official without some background wants to be promoted, he will have to give him a gift and lose his fortune a few days ago, several censors jointly impeached him. If Fang Lingxin had not been obstructed and protected by the emperor in every way, Tang Shouwang would have been dismissed long ago.
Chu Mingtang snorted and said: What if this kind of person is still in the Ministry of Personnel? My nephew thought about getting rid of this person in a while. What should I do if my uncle thinks about it?
Chu Tianfang smiled slightly: This was originally a gift I prepared for Mingtang.
Chu Mingtang asked: Who can take over the post of Minister of Personnel? Since Chu Tianfang had this idea, the successor must have considered it long ago.
Chu Tianfang said: This person's name is Tang, and he must have heard of it. The Censor Tang Xiaokang
Chu Mingtang was surprised: Is Tang Xiaokang, known as Tang Shitou?
Chu Tian said disdainfully: What Tang Shitou? There are two stinky stones in the court. Only Guo Huai can be called a stone. That is incompetent. Tang Xiaokang was devoted to my husband's disciple twenty years ago. Otherwise, with his little salary, how could he afford to support more than a dozen concubines.
After a while, the carriage of the Minister of Personnel Tang Shouwang had arrived.
Seeing Chu Tianfang and Chu Mingtang waiting at the door, Tang Shouwang hurriedly got out of the car and walked up to worship: Oh, the official is really a sin, and he even bothered the old Marquis and the Grand Marshal waiting outside the door, and the death penalty was committed.
Chu Tianfang and Chu Mingtang frowned at the same time. Although Tang Shouwang was considerate, he was frivolous and he was also hilarious in his words.
Chu Mingtang returned a bow and cursed in his heart: Something that is not alive but still smiled on his face: Lord Tang is here to greet him in person, I am ashamed of being accused of being Ah
The three of them said a few words, and Tang Shouwang said: It’s getting late, please ask the Grand Marshal to get on the car. If the emperor sees Lord Chu and returns to the court, he will definitely be very happy.
Chu Mingtang got on the carriage and closed his eyes all the way to rest
After about half an hour of leaving, the carriage stopped and Tang Shouwang got off the car first, walked to Chu Mingtang's carriage and knocked on the door: Lord Taiwei, you have arrived, please get off the car
Chu Mingtang lifted the curtain, leaned out, and looked at the palace not far away. The palace he had been dreaming of for many years, and was infatuated for a moment.
Tang Shuwang laughed at the side and coughed gently, saying: Please ask the Grandmaster to follow the officials into the palace.
Chu Mingtang woke up, and he was too lazy to pay attention to the villain who was as happy and angry as he walked off the carriage.
Chu Mingtang followed Tang Shouwang through several doors and came to the court.
Many people have arrived. When Tang Shouwang comes, they saluted one after another.
Although he didn't know much about Chu Mingtang, who was walking behind Tang Shouwang, he was recognized by everyone. All the officials' faces changed.
Tang Shouwang took Chu Mingtang to the forefront of the officials and said: Please wait here by Lord Taiwei, and the officials are listed.
Chu Mingtang smiled and said: Lord Tang, please do whatever you want
The officials of the Chu clan came to pay respect and were respectful. These people originally wanted to meet at the Chu Mansion yesterday, but Chu Tianfang passed it down. In order to avoid the quarrel, the Taiwei had to wait until he met the emperor before he met the Chu officials. Everyone returned home.
Chu Mingtang smiled and chatted with everyone. Although most of them had never met, they were also famous for a long time.
Chu Mingtang knew that although he had ascended the sect leader, his foundation was still shallow. It would take some time to convince these people, so he did not dare to be lazy in his behavior.
Oh, isn't this Mingtang
When Chu Mingtang turned around, he saw the Prime Minister Fang Lingxin looking at him with a smile
When Chu Mingtang was appointed as the Minister of Personnel in Beijing, Fang Lingxin served as the Minister of Personnel for more than two years. At that time, Chu Mingtang was favored by the emperor, and Fang Lingxin was very polite to him. The relationship between the two was quite decent.
The officials around Chu Mingtang all flew away. Although the Chu family and the Fang family cannot say that they are incompatible in recent years, they are clearly different. Both sides are too lazy to do these superficial kung fu.
Chu Mingtang said: Meet the Prime Minister
Fang Lingxin pulled Chu Mingtang and smiled: When did Mingtang arrive in the capital? I don’t tell me, I’ll welcome you.
Chu Mingtang said: Mingtang arrived in the capital the night before yesterday. Because of the troubles of trivial matters yesterday, he failed to pay a visit to the Prime Minister in time. He begged the Prime Minister to forgive his crimes.
Fang Lingxin smiled and said: Mingtang is so polite. You and I are both from the Ministry of Personnel. You were the Minister of the Assistant and the Minister of the Shang Dynasty. Mingtang helped me a lot.
Chu Mingtang heard Fang Lingxin’s vague official position, and smiled slightly: Prime Minister, please be polite.
A man behind him suddenly said softly: Shangshu Guo is here
When Chu Mingtang turned around, he saw Guo Huai walking slowly, and said happily: Guo Huai!
Guo Huai was shocked when he saw Chu Mingtang, and suddenly showed joy. Suddenly hesitated a little more, his face changed a few times, and he walked up to salute and said: The lower official Guo Huai met the Grand Marshal.
Chu Mingtang felt a little cold, and he smiled bitterly and helped Guo Huai up, thinking that this person is really not a dynasty official. Fang Lingxin could greet him with a smile if he had no friendship with him. You Guo Huai and I Chu Mingtang are brothers who have been fighting in the fields since childhood. They can't even pretend to be good.
Since Guo Huai was like this, Chu Mingtang had no choice but to laugh dryly: Lord Guo, you and I will be ministers in the same palace in the future, please take care of me.
Guo Huai said silently
Chu Mingtang didn't know how to speak, and cursed in his heart: No wonder everyone in the court calls you Guo Shitou, you always have to give me a step.
Suddenly, an eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: The emperor is here
Everyone joined the list, Fang Lingxin and Chu Mingtang stood on the left and right sides of the officials and said, "I will welcome the emperor."
Emperor Zhao Ming sat on the dragon throne and said: All the ministers are flat
All officials stood up, Chu Mingtang secretly glanced at Emperor Zhao Ming, and saw that he was sick and indifferent, and his body was probably not optimistic.
Emperor Ming Zhao glanced at him and saw Chu Mingtang standing on the right head of all officials. The two of them looked at each other and they both flashed as if nothing had happened.
Chu Mingtang knew in his heart that the emperor had already known that he had arrived in the capital, and thousands of people had entered the capital. If no one reported it to the emperor, it would be a strange thing.
The eunuch behind Emperor Ming of Zhao shouted: All officials have to report and leave the court without any trouble
The Minister of Personnel Tang Shouwang went out to worship: He reported to the emperor that the new Grand Marshal Chu Ming Tang Chu has arrived in the capital, and today he came to pay homage to the emperor
Chu Mingtang comes out and bows: I am Chu Mingtang bowing to the emperor, wishing me long live my emperor
Emperor Zhao Ming waved: Let's be calm
Thank you
Emperor Ming of Zhao stared at Chu Mingtang for a long time, and Fang smiled and said: Thank you for your hard work in Chu Qing coming from Pingyuan County. Have you settled it in the capital? Why didn’t I see the memorial from the Ministry of Rites?
According to Zhao's convention, if a local official goes to Beijing to work, he or she has no residence in the capital, he or she can report to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will request the emperor to make arrangements before making arrangements.
Because Chu Mingtang went to Beijing to live directly in the Chu Mansion, he did not report to the Ministry of Rites. Besides, he was already the leader of the Chu Mansion, so he could be said to be the master of the Chu Mansion, so naturally there was no need for the court to arrange another residence.
Chu Mingtang knew that the emperor had a different meaning and said: Thank you for your concern. However, my uncle was old and weak. The famous Tang came to Beijing, so he invited Mingtang to live in Xiaoyao Hou's Mansion, so he did not report to the Ministry of Rites.
Emperor Zhao Ming said: Oh, that's right, it's not very convenient for Chu Qing to live in Xiaoyao Mansion for a long time. Should I ask the Ministry of Rites to find another place for Chu Qing?
Chu Mingtang hesitated a little, knowing that if he refuses, he will be completely broken with the emperor.
But thinking about whether I can still retreat, I had to bow my head and say: The emperor doesn’t have to bother me anymore. I live well in Xiaoyao Hou Mansion.
Emperor Ming Zhao was furious
Yesterday, he learned that Chu Mingtang had entered Beijing and lived in the Chu Mansion. His last glimmer of hope for Chu Mingtang was also shattered. He cursed in the study, scaring Fang Lingxin and Guo Huai to the point of being silent.
I met Chu Mingtang today. He spoke out and tried to show his words, but he still refused for Chu Mingtang.
Emperor Zhao Ming stroked his chest and said angrily: Then I feel worry-free, let's go back
Chu Mingtang returned to his original position, and felt a little guilty in his heart
After all, if the emperor had not been promoted vigorously back then, he would not have been appointed as the prefect of Pingyuan County, and he would not have been able to take over the Chu Mansion; but Emperor Ming of Zhao would have absolutely no choice but to let him deal with the Chu family, so he would be disgusted by the Chu family members in the world.
Emperor Ming Zhao was born into the imperial family and did not understand the feelings of the children of aristocratic families for the family. For all descendants of Chu Xianxing, Shangjing Chu Mansion was their roots. Chu Mingtang never wanted to be a rootless floating floating floating with the waves.
Emperor Zhao Ming took a few breaths and said: Is there anything else to report?
Fang Lingxin said: He reported to the emperor, several magistrates near the capital came to report that there has been no peace near the capital recently, and thieves have risen everywhere. I beg the emperor to send troops to help.
Emperor Ming Zhao said: These small things are also annoying me. Zhao Wushang, the commander of the imperial guards, ordered you to send troops to the counties in the capital to assist in the suppression of bandits.
An official dressed in military uniform said: "The emperor said that the imperial guards in the capital can use only 20,000 troops on weekdays, and some of them need to be used as a mobility. If they are still dispatched to various counties to suppress bandits, they may not be able to do so.
Fang Lingxin said: But the public security near the capital cannot be ignored. Commander Zhao still reluctantly makes it difficult and wants to send some people.
Guo Huai suddenly glanced at Chu Mingtang and said: Emperor, in recent years, the number of people in the capital and nearby counties has increased day by day. It is really difficult to maintain public security by only 50,000 imperial guards. I beg the emperor to draw another 10,000 troops to station outside the capital. There are 50,000 imperial guards to guard the palace and the capital. The newly transferred 10,000 people can be named the city defense force, responsible for the public security in the areas near the capital.
Emperor Zhao Ming nodded and said: Guo Qing’s words are reasonable
Tang Shouwang came out and said: Lord Guo, what official position should this city defense force be awarded, and what rank is it?
Fang Lingxin said: Commander Zhao is the second-rank general, so the city defense army is the third-rank general, and it is under the jurisdiction of Commander Zhao.
When Chu Mingtang saw the emperor and these people sing, it was obviously discussed in advance. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately sweated coldly.
Chu Mingtang looked at it, and several officials of the Chu clan also showed anxiety and secretly signaled to him. Chu Mingtang couldn't help but complain in his heart, would he have to confront the emperor on his first day of office?
But once this city defense force is built, it will be like a sharp sword hanging high above the head of the Chu clan.
Chu Mingtang was also in the middle of the capital for many years when he was young. He knew that the Imperial Guard was originally the most brave man selected from the major military camps, but after hundreds of years, it has been much worse than before. Most of the Imperial Guard officers are composed of children of aristocratic families. In Chu Mingtang's view, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the southern camp, and there are also many Chu clan members in the Imperial Guard.
But it is hard to say that another city defense force is built. It is very likely that an elite force will be transferred, so the Chu family will be subject to others.
Chu Mingtang suddenly stepped forward and walked: Emperor, I have something to do and report
Emperor Zhao Ming looked at him and said angrily: Please tell me, Chu Qing
Chu Mingtang took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: When I was in the camp on the southern front, I rely on my great Zhao Hongyun and entrusted the emperor's blessing to defeat the 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Southern Qi navy, captured more than 60,000 enemies, and sent envoys to discuss peace. I have compensated our court for ten thousand taels of gold and countless treasures and antiques. I have presented it to the emperor. A hundred concubines and singing girls in the Southern Qi have brought them all to the capital and registered them one by one. Please check the emperor.
The eunuch on the side took the memorial from Chu Mingtang and presented it to the Dragon Case
Emperor Zhao Ming looked at it and couldn't help but smile
Emperor Ming of Zhao has never tried any war since he ascended the throne. He achieved such a great victory in this battle, which can be said to be a great power in the country.
The ministers in the hall also congratulated the emperor one after another, but Fang Lingxin vaguely felt that Chu Mingtang's move must have no intention.
Emperor Zhao Ming smiled and said: Chu Qing made an indelible contribution to this battle in the Southern Front Camp. I would like to reward you with 2,000 taels of gold and 20 singers from the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Chu Mingtang bowed and said: Thank you, the emperor, and there is another matter to be reported.
Say it
Wang Mingyuan, the acting commander of the Southern Line, asked his ministers to report to the emperor. Now that the Southern Qi navy has been lost, the defense on the riverside is like a waste. Can you take advantage of the victory and pursue me to dare to guarantee Wang Mingyuan? If the 200,000 troops of the Dachang camp on the Southern Line lead their troops to the south, even if they cannot destroy the Southern Qi, they can force the Southern Qi to pay tribute to our Great Zhao, pay tribute every year, and come to the court to ask the emperor for his edict.
Emperor Ming Zhao was a little hesitant. The military achievements of the Southern Front Camp were so prominent. If he continued to fight, he would not know how to reward him. Should he still transfer Chu Mingtang's inner brother Wang Mingyuan to the court? Then wouldn't the power of the Chu King's two families increase greatly?
Fang Lingxin said: Lord Chu is such a bad word. Since our dynasty has accepted the compensation from Southern Qi, how can we break the trust in Southern Qi and raise our troops to the south again
Chu Mingtang said: The ancients said that the soldiers were never tired of deceit, and that my ministers and Wang Mingyuan did not sign a contract with the Southern Qi, so please give the emperor an edict.
Emperor Zhao Ming thought for a while and said: In my opinion, Fang Qing said so much, let’s stop this battle.
Chu Mingtang lowered his head and said: I am obeying the order, but I have something unknown. I want to ask Mr. Guo for advice.
Emperor Zhao Ming was stunned and said:
Chu Mingtang turned around and said to Guo Huai: Lord Guo, I really want to ask for advice as the commander of the Southern Front Daxing.
Guo Huai looked shocked and bowed: Please tell me, Lord Taiwei
May I ask Lord Guo, how long has the war on the Southern Front Camp ended?
Guo Huai said: It has been one month
The Southern Front Camp fought against the Southern Qi Navy this time, annihilated 100,000 enemies and captured 60,000 enemies. What does Lord Guo think of the result of this battle?
Guo Huai nodded: The brilliant results of the battle can be said to be the biggest victory of our dynasty against Southern Qi since Taizu
Chu Mingtang said solemnly: Why did the Ministry of War commend the soldiers of the Southern Front of the Army not yet arrived until yesterday? Are you not afraid of the coldness of the soldiers?
Guo Huairan secretly glanced at Emperor Zhao Ming. He had already submitted the reward note for the Southern Front Camp to the emperor, but the emperor kept putting it on the shelf. What could he do?
Chu Mingtang continued: The most prominent military achievements of the Southern Front Camp were the 10,000 Black Cavalry soldiers allocated to the Southern Front Camp. These 10,000 soldiers were extremely brave, especially the Chu Luoshui General, who led the Black Cavalry to overcome the weakness of the Northern Frontier Army's failure to learn about water wars, crossed the river overnight and attacked the Southern Qi Navy Camp, commanding the Black Cavalry and the Knights to wipe out more than 90,000 Southern Qi Navy and captured nearly 50,000 enemies. The Ministry of War still ignored such military achievements. What is the intention?
Guo Huai was extremely embarrassed. At that time, he only considered the war between the west and south sides, and allocated 10,000 black cavalry to Chu Mingtang, and specially led the army by Chu Luoshui, a member of the Chu clan. For this reason, he had been scolded by Emperor Ming of Zhao many times. Unexpectedly, Chu Mingtang would also attack him now.
Emperor Ming of Zhao coughed and said: Chu Qing, don’t worry, Guo Qing had already given me a letter of merit to the request the money the day before yesterday. After reading it, I will send it to the camp on the southern line.
Chu Mingtang turned around and Emperor Zhao Ming said, "I thanked the emperor and the emperor. According to the court's rules, should General Chu Luoshui be promoted to such military achievements?
Emperor Zhao Ming thought about it and said helplessly: That's it
Chu Mingtang said: General Chu Luoshui is now a fifth-rank general. According to the court's laws, he should be appointed as the third-rank deputy commander.
Fang Lingxin immediately stepped out of the list and opposed: Emperor, no
Chu Mingtang looked at Fang Lingxin with a squinted eyes and said: The commander of the Western Front Daying was closed and the city was closed. Without a single battle, everyone in the 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Frontier Daying who went to reinforce were rewarded. Does the Prime Minister think that General Chu should not be promoted?
Fang Lingxin was speechless and secretly scolded Guo Huai for being so useless that day. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as today. But no matter what, Chu Luoshui cannot be promoted to deputy commander. He hesitated and said: Lord Chu is that General Chu Luoshui should be promoted, but there are two deputy commanders in the Northern Frontier Camp, so it is really not appropriate to add it.
Chu Mingtang said: Well, there is still a deputy commander on the southern front camp. Chu Luoshui can take over as a general in the northern border camp. According to the court's laws, the generals of the three major camps can be transferred to each other and personal soldiers. Chu Luoshui is promoted to deputy commander and can lead 10,000 people. Then, let's stay in the southern front camp.
Emperor Ming of Zhao immediately shook his head and said: No, the Southern Front Camp has just defeated the Southern Qi Navy. What threat does the Southern Qi have to do to our dynasty for the time being? This thousand black cavalry is the most elite cavalry in our Zhao State. It is not advisable to stay in the Southern Front Camp.
The Beijian Daying has only a total of 50,000 black cavalry. This 10,000 will give the southern front camp, which is like a tiger.
What's more, Chu Luoshui is extremely brave. If he is trained by the 200,000 troops in the southern camp, the consequences can be imagined.
Chu Mingtang smiled slightly: The emperor said that Chu Luoshui has passed the rank and promoted to the emperor, and the deputy commander of the northern border has been fully established, so it is not advisable to stay in the southern camp. I think there is a place to be placed.
Emperor Zhao Ming could not help but ask: Where is it?
Fang Ling plays drums in his heart, it won’t be the Western Front Camp.
The Western Front Camp already has a deputy commander Wang Mingsheng, who is Wang Lie's nephew. If Chu Luoshui leads another 10,000 black cavalry like a wolf or a tiger, his cousin will have to be undermined.
I heard Chu Mingtang say: The newly built city defense army proposed by Lord Guo just now, and the Prime Minister has designated the official position as the third rank, which can be borne by Chu Luoshui and the 10,000 black cavalry under his command.
Emperor Ming of Zhao and Fang Lingxin blurted out almost at the same time: This matter must not be done.
The officials of the King of Chu families were unheard of, and they all came out to praise the wise man of the Taiwei, saying that if this army of war is guarded around the capital, Fang Xiangguo would not need to worry, and the capital would inevitably be peaceful everywhere.
Chu Mingtang quietly returned, and saw Guo Huai's face was dull, and he felt a little guilty. After all, Guo Huai used to transfer the black cavalry of Chu Luoshui to him, but now it has become an excuse for his attack.
Emperor Ming Zhao was upset and slapped the dragon case and said: This matter will be discussed in the future.
Chu Mingnan, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said: He started to report to the emperor that the rewards to the soldiers of the Southern Front Daying should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible. As Lord Guo said, the Southern Front Daying was under the leadership of Lord Taiwei, and the results of the battle were brilliant. If the court did not express it, the army would inevitably be in turmoil in the future.
Emperor Zhao Ming said impatiently: I know, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to send it to the southern line camp tomorrow. After that, he hurriedly left.
A eunuch shouted at the back of his voice: Retreat
When the Chu family left, all the officials surrounded Chu Mingtang and most of them looked happy. After all, these people were not short-sighted. When the Chu family and the emperor were increasingly in opposition, they all knew what it meant if the Wancheng Defense Forces were fully in the hands of the emperor. Seeing that Chu Mingtang was free and easy, they said the emperor and Fang Lingxin speechlessly. They were very impressed.
Chu Mingtang saw many people smiling and shouted in a low voice: You guys are a little out of control.
Everyone suddenly woke up, curled their smiles, and added a little respect to Chu Mingtang.
Chu Mingtang bowed to the ground and said: Mingtang has been away from the capital for a long time and is not very familiar with the affairs in the court. I hope your fellow tribes will remind you from time to time.
Chu Mingnan, the Minister of Rites, replied: Brother Mingtang is so polite. Brother Mingtang is the leader of all officials in my clan. We should follow Brother Mingtang.
A person next to him couldn't hide his excitement and said: When Brother Mingting was appointed as the Minister of Justice, his talent and virtue could not be convinced. Our Chu family was always bullied by Fang Lingxin. Now Brother Mingtang has arrived in the court, and we finally have a backbone.
Chu Mingnan and others have been officials for many years, but are not short-sighted people. Since Chu Tianfang retired, Chu officials have no leader in the court and have been suppressed by the emperor and the Fang family for a long time. Everyone has been full of anger. Therefore, most people have no objection to Chu Tianfang's position as the leader of the sect to Chu Mingtang.
After all, Chu Mingtang was born in a family and had no other relatives besides his mother and sister. He wanted to revive the Chu family, but he was really relied on by the tribe in the court. Besides, he had the support of the Wang family behind him. The King of Chu and the King of Chu worked together, who could still compete with him?
Chu Mingtang also sighed secretly. He was not willing to face the emperor in the first time he went to court. However, he impressed many Chu clan members who were officials in the court, and he felt a little relieved.
When Wu Anran learned that it was the eldest grandson of the Chu family's sect leader, he felt that this was a bit troublesome. As soon as Chu Mingtang and his wife returned to the East Courtyard, they took Chu Zheng to report to the two of them what happened today.
Chu Mingtang was a little unhappy when he heard this, but Wang Xiuhe didn't care. The fight was initiated by Chu Mingting's son. If it weren't for Chu Zheng, he would have some self-protection ability, and the one who was beaten would be his son.
What's more, Chu Mingtang is still an outsider to Shangjing Chu Mansion. Although no one dares to treat the Taiwei, his children may inevitably be secretly bullied.
After Chu Mingtang left, Wang Xiuhe called Chu Zheng to his side and said with a smile: Zheng'er, since you have been beaten today, you have already formed a grudge. You brothers and three of you are not worried. What you are worried about is whether your two sisters will be bullied by them in the future. Since you have this ability, you will beat them once and once. They are rude to you. If they are rude to you, you will force them to be rude to you and then fight again. In short, you will beat them to convince them. Even our servants dare not bully them at will.
Chu Zheng was so excited that he wanted to go to those kids immediately and beat them up.
Liu Qingru and the three girls only found it incredible. How could the mother teach her son like this?
But Chu Mingtang still wants to apologize to Chu Tianfang. After all, Chu Zheng beat his eldest grandson, so he should express his feelings no matter how hard he wants to say it.
Chu Mingtang entered the door and saw a young man with a black face full of blue face and was crying to Chu Tian. It must be that Chu Shen pacified Chu Mingtang in secret, and Zheng'er was quite ruthless.
Chu Mingtang made a salute to Chu Tian: Mingtang has met his uncle
Chu Tian waved his hand and signaled Chu Shenping to go out. Chu Shenping was unwilling to accept it, but he had to follow him. He stared at Chu Mingtang with resentment, turned around and left.
Chu Mingtang saw the boy going out and was about to speak, Chu Tianfang said: Mingtang, you are fighting for a few children, what is the reason between children? I just told Shen Ping that if you lose the fight, you are incompetent. Why are you crying when you run here? I heard that more than a dozen people beat one. It's really embarrassing.
Chu Mingtang was stunned, but he didn't expect Chu Tianfang to be so generous
Chu Tian sighed and said: If Shenping continues like this, he will probably be the same as his father. He only knows how to bully others by virtue. Now that Mingting is not here, he doesn't know what to do. This time, a lesson may not be a bad thing.
Chu Tianfang suddenly changed his mind and said suddenly: Mingtang is still a little suspicious of me, right?
Chu Mingtang was shocked and said with a smile: Why did Uncle say this? Mingtang has always respected Uncle very much...
Chu Tian shook his head and said: Mingtang, you don’t have to argue. If you don’t have suspicion about me, then you are not Chu Mingtang, nor are you the Taiwei of Chu.
Pour another glass of wine and toast to Chu Mingtang: You and I are here, why not talk openly and honestly
Chu Mingtang stared at him for a while, then suddenly raised his glass and slapped them all.
Chu Mingtang put down the cup and said: Since uncle said that, Mingtang wants to ask something
Speaking
Why is Mingtang so hasty to replace the sect leader this time? He knows nothing about it in advance, and... Chu Mingtang played with the wine glass and said slowly: Mingtang means, uncle should know what Mingtang means.
Chu Tian smiled and said: Of course I understand that when I took over the position of sect leader, not only did the Chu clan come, but almost all the ministers in the capital arrived. Even the late emperor also visited the Chu mansion and personally gave me the iron scrolls of the hereditary Xiaoyao Hou. That night, the Chu mansion was crowded with people, and almost drank all the wine in the capital. Mingtang, you will naturally feel dissatisfied when you take over Leng Lingqingqing this time.
Chu Mingtang blushed and said: My nephew only thinks that at least the major families and emperors in Beijing should be notified.
Chu Tianfang suddenly snorted and said: Notify them, except for the Wang family, how many others can come? Mingtang, you are very scheming and smart and capable, but after all, you have been away from the capital for more than ten years. You don’t know much about the matter in the capital. Do you think our Chu family is still as glorious as it used to be? What the emperor is most worried about now is our Chu family, and he wishes he could get rid of it and get it right away.
Chu Mingtang said suspiciously: The emperor has always been taboo about the Chu family. Which powerful family in history is not taboo by the emperor? It can be said that it will be eliminated quickly. Uncle, this is not the case.
Chu Tianfang sneered: Not so? If not, how could I pass on the position of the sect leader to you instead of Mingting? Although Mingting is mediocre, she is still more than enough to be a Taiping sect leader. Do you think I am really so selfless? A joke, if others don’t care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth! I am just afraid that Mingting will be unable to deal with the future situation of the Chu clan, Mingtang. Don’t think that everything will be fine if you take the position of the sect leader. The burden on your shoulders is much heavier than I did back then. Do you still remember the Dong family back then?
Chu Mingtang felt a stern
Chu Tianfang sighed to the sky:The nine major families of the founding of the Great Zhao State, Chu, Wang, Fang, Dong, Xiao, Cheng, Huang, Xie, Lin, among which the three families of Huang, Xie and Lin were executed as early as the beginning of the founding of the country. The other six families controlled more than 90% of the government affairs of the court in the late Taizong period. It can be said that the two late emperors after Taizong were just empty-handed. Among them, the Dong family was the most powerful. In the early years of Emperor Wu, they reached their peak and were domineering. They squeezed out our Chu, Wang, and Xiao families from the capital. The Cheng family who stayed in the capital followed the Dong family. The two families had two prime ministers, four ministers, and countless officials of all sizes were countless. They almost forced Emperor Wu to abdicate. In order to eradicate the Dong family, Emperor Wu sent people to secretly contact the opposition Chu and Wang families, and brought 50,000 northern border troops and 30,000 western front troops to enter the capital at night. It is said that the 80,000 troops were killed in the capital for three days and three nights before the Dong family was eradicated.
Chu Tianfang suddenly opened his eyes and shone with his brilliance: Mingtang, you think, in the eyes of the current emperor, the Chu family is so similar to the Dong family back then. The two families of the King of Chu have advanced and retreated together. Wang Lie's eldest daughter is your wife. Officials under the Shangshu in the court are attached to Chu, and about half of the Wang family are under the power of the Dong family. Although they are not as powerful as the Dong family in the court, Mingtang, you have the nearly 200,000 troops in the southern front. In the eyes of the emperor, my Chu family is probably even worse than the Dong family back then.
Chu Mingtang was sweating in cold sweat and murmured: Can't our Chu family take a step back?
Chu Tianfang smiled bitterly and said: How to retreat? If you are not allowed to be the Grand Marshal and return home, would you be willing to Mingtang? I asked me to order officials of the Chu clan from all over the country to go home. Can I do it? Are those tribesmen willing? Besides, even if the Chu family is willing to lose their wings, can you be sure that the emperor will let the Chu family go?
The two were silent for a long time, and Chu Tianfang suddenly whispered: Mingtang, the emperor is eager to deal with our Chu family, mainly because he may have a good life in a few years.
Chu Mingtang was shocked and said: Are these words serious?
Chu Tian said: It's definitely true. The imperial doctors in the palace said that the emperor was overworking and his body was almost drying up. At most, it took only three years to reach the crown prince's talent and poor virtue. The emperor must be worried.
As he said that, he took another sip of wine
Chu Mingtang couldn't help but interrogate: Uncle means that the emperor will attack my Chu family in the past few years for the sake of the crown prince?
It's exactly
Chu Mingtang then realized what kind of mess he received. No wonder Chu Tianfang passed the position of the sect leader to him so readily.
Chu Mingtang said hatefully: Why didn’t my uncle stay in the position of sect leader to lead the Chu family through difficulties? Whether it is experience or experience, my uncle is far better than Mingtang. Why bother Mingtang... to suffer this crime?
Chu Tian sighed: Mingtang doesn't have to be rude. How many people in the world can compare to me, like a candle in the wind, saying that I will go first one day before the emperor. When Mingtang, you ascend to the throne leader, Mingting will definitely not be willing to surrender to you. There are some restless people in the Chu family in various places. At that time, there were strong enemies outside and civil strife broke out again. The Chu family might be destroyed, let alone compete with the emperor. Regardless of the victory or defeat, I feel that it is unbearable.
Chu Mingtang was a little puzzled: Why is this?
Chu Tian said slowly: If I lead the Chu family and lose, it will be the sinner of the Chu family forever. How can I face the ancestors of the Chu family? But if I win, I don’t know what to do. Perhaps at most I can establish a new king from the royal family. However, in this way, the Chu family has a larger influence in the court and the opposition, and is even more jealous of the royal family.
Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the rulers and ministers have fought against each other in history. Although many powerful ministers can do their best for a while, the royal family will win in the end. The only exception is Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. However, none of the scholars and people in the world are convinced of him, thinking that he was a traitor, and they all raised troops to attack him. In the end, the world will return to the Liu family's ambition has passed. I don't want to be Wang Mang and others. I will still entrust the Chu family with Mingtang. I have nothing to ask for Mingtang to always put the clan members first.
Chu Mingtang was speechless. Do you just want to be Wang Mang?
********************
After reporting to Chu Mingtang and his wife what happened today, Wu Anran took Chu Zheng back to her yard
Wu Anran scolded Chu Zheng first and explained every move he fought with Chen Zhenzhong. Chu Zheng did not say anything for the first time. After listening carefully, he took the initiative to learn the Illusion Heaven Palm and the Great Soul Search Hand. Wu Anran was immediately excited and very happy. He thought that the only disciple of the Blood Shadow Sect finally turned around and quickly sent someone to inform the outing garden that Chu Zheng would not go back today.
Chu Zheng was defeated by Chen Zhenzhong in the morning, and finally realized that his martial arts foundation was still shallow, and bullying ordinary people was OK. When he met a real master, he couldn't fight back.
Therefore, Chu Zheng and Wu Anran even ate some lunch casually and devoted themselves to practicing.
Zheng'er, your move is just now, butterfly pounce, and it makes you old. Remember, this move is a false move, which is intended to tempt you to pounce with all your strength. If you attack your back door competition, you must retain your strength and wait for turning around and leaning back to counterattack, so that you will not be able to take advantage of the enemy!
Chu Zheng sighed: Master, from the morning to now, I have practiced this trick. Butterfly pounce for the ninth time. Your requirements are too high.
Wu Anran came over from the shade of the tree to re-exercise the demonstration and asked Chu Zheng to take a closer look
Wu Anran rushed forward, then jumped back, and quickly bent backward, forming an iron-plate bridge posture
This pounce, one jump, one tilt, is the life-saving trick designed to attack the enemy.
Wu Anran's posture is graceful and solid. He talks while he is talking. Chu Zheng is fascinated by his eyes and his lust arises again.
It turned out that the weather was still hot after autumn, and with thin clothes, Wu Anran's body's concave contours appeared as soon as he sweated.
When the body is used as an iron bridge, the lower body will naturally rise upwards.
Due to sweating, Wu Anran's plump and towering vagina were pressed against the white trousers, and the black pubic hair and tender flesh slits were clearly printed.
When Chu Zheng saw it, the beautiful scenery of the night suddenly appeared in his mind; at this time, Wu Anran was as naked as he was in his eyes, and Chu Zheng's vajra immediately stood up hard.
After Wu Anran explained, he stood up and saw Chu Zheng bent over and dare not stand upright. The crotch of his pants was bulging high, just like a yurt.
She looked down at her sweaty clothes, and she couldn't help but realize it, and her heart was infuriated.
She thought to herself that it was too unreasonable to think about it during the day when practicing qigong.
She seriously explained the tricks of practicing, asking Chu Zheng to practice by herself; then glared at Chu Zheng fiercely, turned around, and went to the shade of the tree to cool down.
The cool breeze blew under the shade of the trees, Wu Anran sat on the chair, feeling that the heat had disappeared, and she couldn't help but feel drowsy.
Chu Zheng, who was practicing qigong aside in a daze, suddenly jumped up quickly, quickly controlled Wu Anran's acupoints, and took her into the bedroom next to him, tied the rope to the beam, tied her hands and hung it up, and took off her clothes.
Wu Anran felt angry and panicked, and she scolded: You beast! Let me go! You are so confused! I am your master! Chu Zheng turned a blind eye.
After a while, Wu Anran was stripped of all his legs. At this time, Chu Zheng rubbed her tender white and plump breasts and said with a smile: Master, I know that Master has worked hard. That night I saw that I came to be filial to Master now, and I promise not to disappoint Master!
Although Wu Anran felt humiliated and angry, his acupoints were controlled and his hands were hung up, so he could not help.
When Chu Zheng caressed her naked and plump body freely, Wu Anran suddenly realized that he seemed to have a subtle expectation for this obscene behavior.
Chu Zheng leaned over and wanted to kiss Wu Anran. Wu Anran turned his head reservedly, but Chu Zheng held her cheek with both hands and kissed her hard.
The heavy breathing and warm lips made Wu Anran confused; the invading tongue forcefully pry open her tightly closed teeth and enter her wet mouth. Wu Anran involuntarily rolled her fragrant tongue and fought against the invading tongue.
Chu Zheng's tongues entangled with each other and touched closely. Wu Anran's tongue was sucked by Chu Zheng from time to time. Wu Anran gradually became intoxicated by the passionate kiss and fell into the waves of lust.
Chu Zheng turned around and squatted behind Wu Anran, greedily stroking Wu Anran's legs. He stroked his round calves to his plump thighs, touched and rubbed them, and went up and down.
Wu Anran's soft elasticity and smooth touch made him unable to put down his love
Under the kiss and touch, Wu Anran's usual dignified and majestic expression was completely lost
Not only did her body twist, she couldn't help but moan with pleasure. The flood of vaginal fluid also flowed out of her wet lower body, wetting her entire legs and crotch.
Suddenly, a feeling of unprecedented heart-eroding bones, penetrated from the anus, and she couldn't help but tremble all over her body; her originally fragile defense also collapsed completely in an instant
Wu Anran gave up resistance from the bottom of her heart. With the increasing strange pleasure, she was hungry and eagerly looking forward to the rough attack of her beloved disciple.
Chu Zheng opened Wu Anran's white and plump buttocks and licked Wu Anran's tight and seductive anus with his tongue. Wu Anran, who had never tasted this kind of taste, could not stand the pleasure of being pierced by the heart.
She felt the feeling of emptiness and hunger increased dozens of times, and her hands were desperately needed to hug something. She couldn't help but hum in a hurry: Hurry! Let go of my hand! Oh! Master can't stand it anymore! Hurry Ah!…
Chu Zheng saw her eyes flowing, and her spring was full of energy; her lower body was wet, and she couldn't bear hunger and thirst; so he controlled her Qihai acupoint, so that she could not condense her internal force, and the other acupoints were unbuttoned together with the rope.
Wu Anran, who had just gained freedom, rushed towards Chu Zheng like a hungry tiger. She hugged Chu Zheng tightly with both hands, and her cherry lips also bit Chu Zheng's shoulder wildly.
Chu Zheng felt pain, his lower body was particularly excited, and the vajra, like a rolling pin, was raised up straight, and he pressed against Wu Anran's crotch through his pants.
Chu Zheng quickly took off his pants and hugged Wu Anran behind him.
He yelled in Wu Anran's ear: Master, let me be filial to you first!
While he said, he put the vajra towards Wu Anran's wet and slightly opened peach petals
Wu Anran hugged Chu Zheng tightly and refused to let go, but his white and round buttocks rose up; the wet petals were full of spring, and the door was wide open, as if they were ready to stop, just waiting for the wild bee to come to explore the hole to collect honey!
Wu Anran's unique and delicate pussy faced the knocking of a thick vajra for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.
She was comfortable, a little painful, expectant, but also a little afraid, and felt extremely frightened and uneasy.
Suddenly, a giant thing broke into the door, and Wu Anran felt a stern heart and couldn't help but exclaim
She was shocked and saw Chu Zheng on the side still sweating profusely, practicing the move with the butterfly rushing, while the cool breeze under the shade of the trees was still chirping, and the cicadas were still chirping. Just now, it was a dream of Nan Ke. Her face turned red and her heart beat like a tide. Her thoughts were like a tide.
At this time, a breeze blew, and she felt a chill between her legs and crotch. Her underwear and her pants were soaked
Wu Anran felt ashamed, but couldn't help but think: Could it be that Zheng'er's words are really as thick as a dream?
********************
The next morning, Chu Tianfang and Chu Mingtang stood at the door of Chu Mansion, and the servants had already prepared the carriage.
Chu Tianfang said: Ming Tang, according to the court's convention, the Taiwei and Situ were in charge of the six ministries. The Taiwei was in charge of the three ministries, including the official, the etiquette and the work. The most important of the Ministry of Personnel will be the Minister of Personnel Tang Shouwang, who is Fang Lingxin's brother-in-law, and the emperor has appointed you as the Taiwei. It seems that it has been carefully considered.
Chu Mingtang asked with a gloomy face: My nephew has been away from the capital for many years and is not familiar with the people and affairs in the court. I don’t know what Tang Shuowong’s talent and reputation are?
He went back last night and finally thought it through. Since he had no choice but to take a try.
Chu Tianfang smiled and said: This person's talent is mediocre, and his reputation is even more messy. If an official without some background wants to be promoted, he will have to give him a gift and lose his fortune a few days ago, several censors jointly impeached him. If Fang Lingxin had not been obstructed and protected by the emperor in every way, Tang Shouwang would have been dismissed long ago.
Chu Mingtang snorted and said: What if this kind of person is still in the Ministry of Personnel? My nephew thought about getting rid of this person in a while. What should I do if my uncle thinks about it?
Chu Tianfang smiled slightly: This was originally a gift I prepared for Mingtang.
Chu Mingtang asked: Who can take over the post of Minister of Personnel? Since Chu Tianfang had this idea, the successor must have considered it long ago.
Chu Tianfang said: This person's name is Tang, and he must have heard of it. The Censor Tang Xiaokang
Chu Mingtang was surprised: Is Tang Xiaokang, known as Tang Shitou?
Chu Tian said disdainfully: What Tang Shitou? There are two stinky stones in the court. Only Guo Huai can be called a stone. That is incompetent. Tang Xiaokang was devoted to my husband's disciple twenty years ago. Otherwise, with his little salary, how could he afford to support more than a dozen concubines.
After a while, the carriage of the Minister of Personnel Tang Shouwang had arrived.
Seeing Chu Tianfang and Chu Mingtang waiting at the door, Tang Shouwang hurriedly got out of the car and walked up to worship: Oh, the official is really a sin, and he even bothered the old Marquis and the Grand Marshal waiting outside the door, and the death penalty was committed.
Chu Tianfang and Chu Mingtang frowned at the same time. Although Tang Shouwang was considerate, he was frivolous and he was also hilarious in his words.
Chu Mingtang returned a bow and cursed in his heart: Something that is not alive but still smiled on his face: Lord Tang is here to greet him in person, I am ashamed of being accused of being Ah
The three of them said a few words, and Tang Shouwang said: It’s getting late, please ask the Grand Marshal to get on the car. If the emperor sees Lord Chu and returns to the court, he will definitely be very happy.
Chu Mingtang got on the carriage and closed his eyes all the way to rest
After about half an hour of leaving, the carriage stopped and Tang Shouwang got off the car first, walked to Chu Mingtang's carriage and knocked on the door: Lord Taiwei, you have arrived, please get off the car
Chu Mingtang lifted the curtain, leaned out, and looked at the palace not far away. The palace he had been dreaming of for many years, and was infatuated for a moment.
Tang Shuwang laughed at the side and coughed gently, saying: Please ask the Grandmaster to follow the officials into the palace.
Chu Mingtang woke up, and he was too lazy to pay attention to the villain who was as happy and angry as he walked off the carriage.
Chu Mingtang followed Tang Shouwang through several doors and came to the court.
Many people have arrived. When Tang Shouwang comes, they saluted one after another.
Although he didn't know much about Chu Mingtang, who was walking behind Tang Shouwang, he was recognized by everyone. All the officials' faces changed.
Tang Shouwang took Chu Mingtang to the forefront of the officials and said: Please wait here by Lord Taiwei, and the officials are listed.
Chu Mingtang smiled and said: Lord Tang, please do whatever you want
The officials of the Chu clan came to pay respect and were respectful. These people originally wanted to meet at the Chu Mansion yesterday, but Chu Tianfang passed it down. In order to avoid the quarrel, the Taiwei had to wait until he met the emperor before he met the Chu officials. Everyone returned home.
Chu Mingtang smiled and chatted with everyone. Although most of them had never met, they were also famous for a long time.
Chu Mingtang knew that although he had ascended the sect leader, his foundation was still shallow. It would take some time to convince these people, so he did not dare to be lazy in his behavior.
Oh, isn't this Mingtang
When Chu Mingtang turned around, he saw the Prime Minister Fang Lingxin looking at him with a smile
When Chu Mingtang was appointed as the Minister of Personnel in Beijing, Fang Lingxin served as the Minister of Personnel for more than two years. At that time, Chu Mingtang was favored by the emperor, and Fang Lingxin was very polite to him. The relationship between the two was quite decent.
The officials around Chu Mingtang all flew away. Although the Chu family and the Fang family cannot say that they are incompatible in recent years, they are clearly different. Both sides are too lazy to do these superficial kung fu.
Chu Mingtang said: Meet the Prime Minister
Fang Lingxin pulled Chu Mingtang and smiled: When did Mingtang arrive in the capital? I don’t tell me, I’ll welcome you.
Chu Mingtang said: Mingtang arrived in the capital the night before yesterday. Because of the troubles of trivial matters yesterday, he failed to pay a visit to the Prime Minister in time. He begged the Prime Minister to forgive his crimes.
Fang Lingxin smiled and said: Mingtang is so polite. You and I are both from the Ministry of Personnel. You were the Minister of the Assistant and the Minister of the Shang Dynasty. Mingtang helped me a lot.
Chu Mingtang heard Fang Lingxin’s vague official position, and smiled slightly: Prime Minister, please be polite.
A man behind him suddenly said softly: Shangshu Guo is here
When Chu Mingtang turned around, he saw Guo Huai walking slowly, and said happily: Guo Huai!
Guo Huai was shocked when he saw Chu Mingtang, and suddenly showed joy. Suddenly hesitated a little more, his face changed a few times, and he walked up to salute and said: The lower official Guo Huai met the Grand Marshal.
Chu Mingtang felt a little cold, and he smiled bitterly and helped Guo Huai up, thinking that this person is really not a dynasty official. Fang Lingxin could greet him with a smile if he had no friendship with him. You Guo Huai and I Chu Mingtang are brothers who have been fighting in the fields since childhood. They can't even pretend to be good.
Since Guo Huai was like this, Chu Mingtang had no choice but to laugh dryly: Lord Guo, you and I will be ministers in the same palace in the future, please take care of me.
Guo Huai said silently
Chu Mingtang didn't know how to speak, and cursed in his heart: No wonder everyone in the court calls you Guo Shitou, you always have to give me a step.
Suddenly, an eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: The emperor is here
Everyone joined the list, Fang Lingxin and Chu Mingtang stood on the left and right sides of the officials and said, "I will welcome the emperor."
Emperor Zhao Ming sat on the dragon throne and said: All the ministers are flat
All officials stood up, Chu Mingtang secretly glanced at Emperor Zhao Ming, and saw that he was sick and indifferent, and his body was probably not optimistic.
Emperor Ming Zhao glanced at him and saw Chu Mingtang standing on the right head of all officials. The two of them looked at each other and they both flashed as if nothing had happened.
Chu Mingtang knew in his heart that the emperor had already known that he had arrived in the capital, and thousands of people had entered the capital. If no one reported it to the emperor, it would be a strange thing.
The eunuch behind Emperor Ming of Zhao shouted: All officials have to report and leave the court without any trouble
The Minister of Personnel Tang Shouwang went out to worship: He reported to the emperor that the new Grand Marshal Chu Ming Tang Chu has arrived in the capital, and today he came to pay homage to the emperor
Chu Mingtang comes out and bows: I am Chu Mingtang bowing to the emperor, wishing me long live my emperor
Emperor Zhao Ming waved: Let's be calm
Thank you
Emperor Ming of Zhao stared at Chu Mingtang for a long time, and Fang smiled and said: Thank you for your hard work in Chu Qing coming from Pingyuan County. Have you settled it in the capital? Why didn’t I see the memorial from the Ministry of Rites?
According to Zhao's convention, if a local official goes to Beijing to work, he or she has no residence in the capital, he or she can report to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will request the emperor to make arrangements before making arrangements.
Because Chu Mingtang went to Beijing to live directly in the Chu Mansion, he did not report to the Ministry of Rites. Besides, he was already the leader of the Chu Mansion, so he could be said to be the master of the Chu Mansion, so naturally there was no need for the court to arrange another residence.
Chu Mingtang knew that the emperor had a different meaning and said: Thank you for your concern. However, my uncle was old and weak. The famous Tang came to Beijing, so he invited Mingtang to live in Xiaoyao Hou's Mansion, so he did not report to the Ministry of Rites.
Emperor Zhao Ming said: Oh, that's right, it's not very convenient for Chu Qing to live in Xiaoyao Mansion for a long time. Should I ask the Ministry of Rites to find another place for Chu Qing?
Chu Mingtang hesitated a little, knowing that if he refuses, he will be completely broken with the emperor.
But thinking about whether I can still retreat, I had to bow my head and say: The emperor doesn’t have to bother me anymore. I live well in Xiaoyao Hou Mansion.
Emperor Ming Zhao was furious
Yesterday, he learned that Chu Mingtang had entered Beijing and lived in the Chu Mansion. His last glimmer of hope for Chu Mingtang was also shattered. He cursed in the study, scaring Fang Lingxin and Guo Huai to the point of being silent.
I met Chu Mingtang today. He spoke out and tried to show his words, but he still refused for Chu Mingtang.
Emperor Zhao Ming stroked his chest and said angrily: Then I feel worry-free, let's go back
Chu Mingtang returned to his original position, and felt a little guilty in his heart
After all, if the emperor had not been promoted vigorously back then, he would not have been appointed as the prefect of Pingyuan County, and he would not have been able to take over the Chu Mansion; but Emperor Ming of Zhao would have absolutely no choice but to let him deal with the Chu family, so he would be disgusted by the Chu family members in the world.
Emperor Ming Zhao was born into the imperial family and did not understand the feelings of the children of aristocratic families for the family. For all descendants of Chu Xianxing, Shangjing Chu Mansion was their roots. Chu Mingtang never wanted to be a rootless floating floating floating with the waves.
Emperor Zhao Ming took a few breaths and said: Is there anything else to report?
Fang Lingxin said: He reported to the emperor, several magistrates near the capital came to report that there has been no peace near the capital recently, and thieves have risen everywhere. I beg the emperor to send troops to help.
Emperor Ming Zhao said: These small things are also annoying me. Zhao Wushang, the commander of the imperial guards, ordered you to send troops to the counties in the capital to assist in the suppression of bandits.
An official dressed in military uniform said: "The emperor said that the imperial guards in the capital can use only 20,000 troops on weekdays, and some of them need to be used as a mobility. If they are still dispatched to various counties to suppress bandits, they may not be able to do so.
Fang Lingxin said: But the public security near the capital cannot be ignored. Commander Zhao still reluctantly makes it difficult and wants to send some people.
Guo Huai suddenly glanced at Chu Mingtang and said: Emperor, in recent years, the number of people in the capital and nearby counties has increased day by day. It is really difficult to maintain public security by only 50,000 imperial guards. I beg the emperor to draw another 10,000 troops to station outside the capital. There are 50,000 imperial guards to guard the palace and the capital. The newly transferred 10,000 people can be named the city defense force, responsible for the public security in the areas near the capital.
Emperor Zhao Ming nodded and said: Guo Qing’s words are reasonable
Tang Shouwang came out and said: Lord Guo, what official position should this city defense force be awarded, and what rank is it?
Fang Lingxin said: Commander Zhao is the second-rank general, so the city defense army is the third-rank general, and it is under the jurisdiction of Commander Zhao.
When Chu Mingtang saw the emperor and these people sing, it was obviously discussed in advance. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately sweated coldly.
Chu Mingtang looked at it, and several officials of the Chu clan also showed anxiety and secretly signaled to him. Chu Mingtang couldn't help but complain in his heart, would he have to confront the emperor on his first day of office?
But once this city defense force is built, it will be like a sharp sword hanging high above the head of the Chu clan.
Chu Mingtang was also in the middle of the capital for many years when he was young. He knew that the Imperial Guard was originally the most brave man selected from the major military camps, but after hundreds of years, it has been much worse than before. Most of the Imperial Guard officers are composed of children of aristocratic families. In Chu Mingtang's view, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the southern camp, and there are also many Chu clan members in the Imperial Guard.
But it is hard to say that another city defense force is built. It is very likely that an elite force will be transferred, so the Chu family will be subject to others.
Chu Mingtang suddenly stepped forward and walked: Emperor, I have something to do and report
Emperor Zhao Ming looked at him and said angrily: Please tell me, Chu Qing
Chu Mingtang took out a memorial from his sleeve and said: When I was in the camp on the southern front, I rely on my great Zhao Hongyun and entrusted the emperor's blessing to defeat the 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Southern Qi navy, captured more than 60,000 enemies, and sent envoys to discuss peace. I have compensated our court for ten thousand taels of gold and countless treasures and antiques. I have presented it to the emperor. A hundred concubines and singing girls in the Southern Qi have brought them all to the capital and registered them one by one. Please check the emperor.
The eunuch on the side took the memorial from Chu Mingtang and presented it to the Dragon Case
Emperor Zhao Ming looked at it and couldn't help but smile
Emperor Ming of Zhao has never tried any war since he ascended the throne. He achieved such a great victory in this battle, which can be said to be a great power in the country.
The ministers in the hall also congratulated the emperor one after another, but Fang Lingxin vaguely felt that Chu Mingtang's move must have no intention.
Emperor Zhao Ming smiled and said: Chu Qing made an indelible contribution to this battle in the Southern Front Camp. I would like to reward you with 2,000 taels of gold and 20 singers from the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Chu Mingtang bowed and said: Thank you, the emperor, and there is another matter to be reported.
Say it
Wang Mingyuan, the acting commander of the Southern Line, asked his ministers to report to the emperor. Now that the Southern Qi navy has been lost, the defense on the riverside is like a waste. Can you take advantage of the victory and pursue me to dare to guarantee Wang Mingyuan? If the 200,000 troops of the Dachang camp on the Southern Line lead their troops to the south, even if they cannot destroy the Southern Qi, they can force the Southern Qi to pay tribute to our Great Zhao, pay tribute every year, and come to the court to ask the emperor for his edict.
Emperor Ming Zhao was a little hesitant. The military achievements of the Southern Front Camp were so prominent. If he continued to fight, he would not know how to reward him. Should he still transfer Chu Mingtang's inner brother Wang Mingyuan to the court? Then wouldn't the power of the Chu King's two families increase greatly?
Fang Lingxin said: Lord Chu is such a bad word. Since our dynasty has accepted the compensation from Southern Qi, how can we break the trust in Southern Qi and raise our troops to the south again
Chu Mingtang said: The ancients said that the soldiers were never tired of deceit, and that my ministers and Wang Mingyuan did not sign a contract with the Southern Qi, so please give the emperor an edict.
Emperor Zhao Ming thought for a while and said: In my opinion, Fang Qing said so much, let’s stop this battle.
Chu Mingtang lowered his head and said: I am obeying the order, but I have something unknown. I want to ask Mr. Guo for advice.
Emperor Zhao Ming was stunned and said:
Chu Mingtang turned around and said to Guo Huai: Lord Guo, I really want to ask for advice as the commander of the Southern Front Daxing.
Guo Huai looked shocked and bowed: Please tell me, Lord Taiwei
May I ask Lord Guo, how long has the war on the Southern Front Camp ended?
Guo Huai said: It has been one month
The Southern Front Camp fought against the Southern Qi Navy this time, annihilated 100,000 enemies and captured 60,000 enemies. What does Lord Guo think of the result of this battle?
Guo Huai nodded: The brilliant results of the battle can be said to be the biggest victory of our dynasty against Southern Qi since Taizu
Chu Mingtang said solemnly: Why did the Ministry of War commend the soldiers of the Southern Front of the Army not yet arrived until yesterday? Are you not afraid of the coldness of the soldiers?
Guo Huairan secretly glanced at Emperor Zhao Ming. He had already submitted the reward note for the Southern Front Camp to the emperor, but the emperor kept putting it on the shelf. What could he do?
Chu Mingtang continued: The most prominent military achievements of the Southern Front Camp were the 10,000 Black Cavalry soldiers allocated to the Southern Front Camp. These 10,000 soldiers were extremely brave, especially the Chu Luoshui General, who led the Black Cavalry to overcome the weakness of the Northern Frontier Army's failure to learn about water wars, crossed the river overnight and attacked the Southern Qi Navy Camp, commanding the Black Cavalry and the Knights to wipe out more than 90,000 Southern Qi Navy and captured nearly 50,000 enemies. The Ministry of War still ignored such military achievements. What is the intention?
Guo Huai was extremely embarrassed. At that time, he only considered the war between the west and south sides, and allocated 10,000 black cavalry to Chu Mingtang, and specially led the army by Chu Luoshui, a member of the Chu clan. For this reason, he had been scolded by Emperor Ming of Zhao many times. Unexpectedly, Chu Mingtang would also attack him now.
Emperor Ming of Zhao coughed and said: Chu Qing, don’t worry, Guo Qing had already given me a letter of merit to the request the money the day before yesterday. After reading it, I will send it to the camp on the southern line.
Chu Mingtang turned around and Emperor Zhao Ming said, "I thanked the emperor and the emperor. According to the court's rules, should General Chu Luoshui be promoted to such military achievements?
Emperor Zhao Ming thought about it and said helplessly: That's it
Chu Mingtang said: General Chu Luoshui is now a fifth-rank general. According to the court's laws, he should be appointed as the third-rank deputy commander.
Fang Lingxin immediately stepped out of the list and opposed: Emperor, no
Chu Mingtang looked at Fang Lingxin with a squinted eyes and said: The commander of the Western Front Daying was closed and the city was closed. Without a single battle, everyone in the 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Frontier Daying who went to reinforce were rewarded. Does the Prime Minister think that General Chu should not be promoted?
Fang Lingxin was speechless and secretly scolded Guo Huai for being so useless that day. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as today. But no matter what, Chu Luoshui cannot be promoted to deputy commander. He hesitated and said: Lord Chu is that General Chu Luoshui should be promoted, but there are two deputy commanders in the Northern Frontier Camp, so it is really not appropriate to add it.
Chu Mingtang said: Well, there is still a deputy commander on the southern front camp. Chu Luoshui can take over as a general in the northern border camp. According to the court's laws, the generals of the three major camps can be transferred to each other and personal soldiers. Chu Luoshui is promoted to deputy commander and can lead 10,000 people. Then, let's stay in the southern front camp.
Emperor Ming of Zhao immediately shook his head and said: No, the Southern Front Camp has just defeated the Southern Qi Navy. What threat does the Southern Qi have to do to our dynasty for the time being? This thousand black cavalry is the most elite cavalry in our Zhao State. It is not advisable to stay in the Southern Front Camp.
The Beijian Daying has only a total of 50,000 black cavalry. This 10,000 will give the southern front camp, which is like a tiger.
What's more, Chu Luoshui is extremely brave. If he is trained by the 200,000 troops in the southern camp, the consequences can be imagined.
Chu Mingtang smiled slightly: The emperor said that Chu Luoshui has passed the rank and promoted to the emperor, and the deputy commander of the northern border has been fully established, so it is not advisable to stay in the southern camp. I think there is a place to be placed.
Emperor Zhao Ming could not help but ask: Where is it?
Fang Ling plays drums in his heart, it won’t be the Western Front Camp.
The Western Front Camp already has a deputy commander Wang Mingsheng, who is Wang Lie's nephew. If Chu Luoshui leads another 10,000 black cavalry like a wolf or a tiger, his cousin will have to be undermined.
I heard Chu Mingtang say: The newly built city defense army proposed by Lord Guo just now, and the Prime Minister has designated the official position as the third rank, which can be borne by Chu Luoshui and the 10,000 black cavalry under his command.
Emperor Ming of Zhao and Fang Lingxin blurted out almost at the same time: This matter must not be done.
The officials of the King of Chu families were unheard of, and they all came out to praise the wise man of the Taiwei, saying that if this army of war is guarded around the capital, Fang Xiangguo would not need to worry, and the capital would inevitably be peaceful everywhere.
Chu Mingtang quietly returned, and saw Guo Huai's face was dull, and he felt a little guilty. After all, Guo Huai used to transfer the black cavalry of Chu Luoshui to him, but now it has become an excuse for his attack.
Emperor Ming Zhao was upset and slapped the dragon case and said: This matter will be discussed in the future.
Chu Mingnan, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said: He started to report to the emperor that the rewards to the soldiers of the Southern Front Daying should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible. As Lord Guo said, the Southern Front Daying was under the leadership of Lord Taiwei, and the results of the battle were brilliant. If the court did not express it, the army would inevitably be in turmoil in the future.
Emperor Zhao Ming said impatiently: I know, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to send it to the southern line camp tomorrow. After that, he hurriedly left.
A eunuch shouted at the back of his voice: Retreat
When the Chu family left, all the officials surrounded Chu Mingtang and most of them looked happy. After all, these people were not short-sighted. When the Chu family and the emperor were increasingly in opposition, they all knew what it meant if the Wancheng Defense Forces were fully in the hands of the emperor. Seeing that Chu Mingtang was free and easy, they said the emperor and Fang Lingxin speechlessly. They were very impressed.
Chu Mingtang saw many people smiling and shouted in a low voice: You guys are a little out of control.
Everyone suddenly woke up, curled their smiles, and added a little respect to Chu Mingtang.
Chu Mingtang bowed to the ground and said: Mingtang has been away from the capital for a long time and is not very familiar with the affairs in the court. I hope your fellow tribes will remind you from time to time.
Chu Mingnan, the Minister of Rites, replied: Brother Mingtang is so polite. Brother Mingtang is the leader of all officials in my clan. We should follow Brother Mingtang.
A person next to him couldn't hide his excitement and said: When Brother Mingting was appointed as the Minister of Justice, his talent and virtue could not be convinced. Our Chu family was always bullied by Fang Lingxin. Now Brother Mingtang has arrived in the court, and we finally have a backbone.
Chu Mingnan and others have been officials for many years, but are not short-sighted people. Since Chu Tianfang retired, Chu officials have no leader in the court and have been suppressed by the emperor and the Fang family for a long time. Everyone has been full of anger. Therefore, most people have no objection to Chu Tianfang's position as the leader of the sect to Chu Mingtang.
After all, Chu Mingtang was born in a family and had no other relatives besides his mother and sister. He wanted to revive the Chu family, but he was really relied on by the tribe in the court. Besides, he had the support of the Wang family behind him. The King of Chu and the King of Chu worked together, who could still compete with him?
Chu Mingtang also sighed secretly. He was not willing to face the emperor in the first time he went to court. However, he impressed many Chu clan members who were officials in the court, and he felt a little relieved.
