Zhang Kuang lowered his head and pondered, silently recalling Young Master Liu's words in his mind, and calculating all the possibilities that might happen if troops are used in the coming year and the commander does not know the true situation between Jin and Tunisia.
After a long time, Zhang Kuang's body trembled, his eyes filled with deep uneasiness.
"No, I must go up to the Minister of War and Your Majesty immediately and tell them the whole story."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang's angrily wanting to leave, and was really helpless about Zhang Kuang's temperament.
"Uncle, don't be impatient! The road is blocked by heavy snow now, and it is impossible for any country in the Jin Kingdom to use troops, whether it is me, the Great Dragon, or the Turks.
It's still early, and there's no telling whether troops will be used in the coming year. What if you tell His Majesty and the Minister of War now?
There are so many opportunities, there is no need to rush. "
Zhang Kuang paused, turned around and looked at Young Master Liu's helpless expression, and raised his hand to pat his forehead.
"Yes, yes, look at my mind, I almost forgot all this.
According to the snow situation, there is no need to use troops for three to five months. There is really no need to rush to report this matter. "
Zhang Kuang calmed down and thought for a while, then looked at Liu Mingzhi thoughtfully: "Zhi'er, if there is no epidemic next year and our Dalong uses troops again, who do you think will be in command?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes stretched out with a hint of deep meaning.
"Uncle, you are making things difficult for me. I am a human, not a god. How can I know who your Majesty will choose to take command?
Nowadays, the situation in the court makes it difficult to see the reality. Who is the person behind the Queen Ren Qingrui seems to have become an unsolved case.
It is unclear whether so many officials implicated in the Ren Wenyue case will be re-employed, because it is also unclear whether the DPRK and Central Committee elders who served under Ren Wenyue will return to the DPRK.
We ministers should not try to figure out the Holy Will. "
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi with a complicated expression. For some reason, he always felt that Liu Mingzhi did not express his true thoughts.
Recalling the current situation in the court, Zhang Kuang didn't know what to say for a moment.
"It seems that you are very upset about the person behind the Demon Queen not showing up."
Liu Mingzhi walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back, looking back from time to time to glance at Mr. Zhang Kuang and Mr. Zhang who were following him: "Uncle, how can I not feel grudged.
Haven't you noticed? Whether it is the queen or the people behind the scenes, everything they do is to target me, Liu Mingzhi.
The queen kept saying that I wanted to rebel, and tried to force me to rebel again and again.
Was it her intention or the intention of the person behind the scenes? Now it has become an unsolved case because of the death of the queen.
Ren Wenyue was nowhere to be found, and some little shrimps couldn't find out anything at all.
There is a very powerful guy in the court who has been staring at me from the shadows. How can I feel at ease?
If your Majesty uses troops next year, there will be such a terrible guy hidden in the court, which will inevitably have an unpredictable impact on the Northern Expedition.
More importantly, I will return to Northern Xinjiang to guard the country after the new year.
There is no telling what kind of scene there will be in the court. "
Zhang Kuang lowered his head and thought for a while: "I don't know, among the people in the government and the public today who are similar in age to you, who is better at using soldiers than you?
Commander Yun is getting old, and it is estimated that only about 30% of the people will be in command next year. Nangong should be able to take charge again, but it is hard to say whether he will be in charge of the middle.
But nine times out of ten, it's still you Liu Mingzhi. Once the epidemic is gone, you will probably have to march north to the two countries. "
"Haha...it doesn't matter. I prefer to stay at home and spend time with my family. Whether I take charge or not depends on God's will.
Uncle, the matter of handing over power has been discussed. The child plans to visit Uncle Song, so he won't let uncle drink. We will get together again when we have the opportunity.
I will inform your uncle about the time for the exchange of military symbols. "
Zhang Kuang nodded slightly and hugged Young Master Liu: "I won't bother you anymore. It's the end of the year and it's time for you to visit Song Yu. Your uncle will go back first. You two brothers will go back together." .”
"Okay, I won't send you far."
"Stay, see you later!"
"Goodbye!"
Song Qing stepped aside and nodded slightly to Zhang Kuang: "Uncle, please go slowly. I won't send the child away. My mother and I will come back in two days, and we can talk to each other again."
"Good boy, stay!"
The three of them exchanged pleasantries and then walked towards the gate of Liu Mansion at a furious pace.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang's retreating figure, then turned to look at Song Qing.
"Brother, what's going on? Is the transfer of power really just between you and your uncle?"
Song Qing nodded calmly and looked at Liu Mingzhi without hesitation: "Third brother, will my eldest brother lie to you? After I retired from the court, I met my uncle on the school field, and then... ....."
After a long time, Song Qing told Liu Mingzhi in detail about his encounter with Zhang Kuang. He even went to Tianxiang Tower to find a few girls to keep him company.
Liu Mingzhi nodded understandingly: "Brother, do you think I should hand over the military talisman?"
Song Qing was startled and pondered for a moment with complicated eyes. He looked at Young Master Liu with a focused look and shook his head.
"Uncle is gone. We brothers have been through life and death for many years. I will say some things directly."
"But it doesn't matter, there aren't that many differences between us brothers."
Song Qing looked around cautiously, and upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted Song Qing's shoulder.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the walls having ears in Liu Mansion."
Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Mingzhi deeply.
"What the eldest brother said may be a bit treacherous, but the eldest brother still has to say that in the current situation, once you hand over the Tiger Talisman Seal, you are seeking death.
Your reputation in the court is too great, and there are not a few people who are watching you. Once they get caught, without the military talisman in their hands to deter you, I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to you.
I'm worried that by then a clown would dare to climb on your head and poop and pee.
Your status is here, no matter you win or lose, you will always be criticized.
What I suggest is that as long as Your Majesty doesn't take the initiative, it's better for us not to be friends with each other.
We can understand the uncle's painstaking efforts, but the decision must be based on the actual situation.
Once something like the Forbidden Army surrounds you happens again, without the deterrence of soldiers and horses, your safety will be greatly threatened. "
Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at the sincerity in Song Qing's eyes and sneered twice.
"Brother, aren't you afraid that one day you will end up with me?"
Song Qing smiled bitterly and punched Mr. Liu: "You bitch, I've boarded your pirate ship a long time ago and can't get off.
We, two brothers, have nothing to be afraid of.
But again, if it’s really serious... say hello early on that day, I have to reconcile with your sister-in-law. "
Liu Mingzhi took out the tiger talisman he controlled from his arms and held it in his hand. His eyes were a little complicated: "Do you think my uncle will hang you on a tree and beat you to death if he knows what you said?"
"I guess so. The old man still listens to the court!"
"That's it, it's just a piece of tiger charm, no big deal."
"pay!"
Song Qing's tiger body trembled, and he looked at Young Master Liu in astonishment as he walked away while playing with the tiger talisman.
"Real friends? Aren't you afraid that when the time comes..."
"Brother! Liu Mingzhi doesn't rely on two things like the Tiger Talisman Commander Seal to lead his troops."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at the worried Song Qing calmly, smiled, and raised his finger to point to the crown above his head.
"It represents the overall responsibility for all military and political affairs."
"In Northern Xinjiang, I have the final say on military and political affairs! This was given by the late emperor. Does it matter whether there is a tiger talisman?
Don't be too rigid in your mind. Who said that I, Liu Mingzhi, only need the Tiger Talisman Commander's Seal to dispatch my troops? "
Song Qing looked at Young Master Liu's back as he waved away, and was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly.
"Okay, just think that I just eat carrots and don't worry about it!"
