When Xia Gongming heard Young Master Liu's question, he thought about it for a while, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, this question of yours is really difficult for me, veteran minister.
Although the veteran minister has been in the temple for decades, he is still just a civil servant with a pen.
For the veteran to say that he doesn't understand anything about marching and fighting, it is indeed impossible. But compared to his colleagues who are military attaches, the veteran's knowledge of this is nothing.
To put it in a slightly self-deprecating way, it is difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Therefore, I really don’t know how to answer this question to Your Majesty.
I can't help your majesty solve your problems. I hope your majesty will forgive you. "
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Xia Gongming, who had a self-deprecating look on his face, sneered, raised his finger and shook it at him a few times.
"Hehehe, oh, you old fox!"
When Xia Gongming saw Young Master Liu pretending to be unhappy, the nervousness in his heart gradually dissipated.
Based on his understanding of Young Master Liu, he knew that Liu Mingzhi was not really dissatisfied with his answer, so he felt much more relaxed.
“Your Majesty, what you said is really an injustice to me.
The old minister is not trying to pretend to be confused, but the old minister really doesn’t know much about marching and fighting.
If you ask me to give you some advice, I can tell you why. However, I can't guarantee whether it will be useful or not.
Since it was 50% or 50%, the old minister thought about it carefully and felt that it would be better to say less.
The old minister still understands that talking too much will lead to mistakes. "
"Oh, is it so?"
"Of course."
"In this case, what you said, sir, does make some sense.
Then Sir, you might as well explain it to me carefully. When did I say that you were pretending to be confused because you understood? Are the words you just said trying to cover up the truth? Are you asking for it?
I originally thought that since you don't know much about marching and fighting, sir, then this issue would be forgotten. However, now that I heard you say this, I still have to let you explain why. "
Xia Gongming looked at the playful expression on Young Master Liu's face, and after subconsciously recalling what he had just said, the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, and the gray beard on his chin trembled involuntarily.
Alas, I was right. It is true that words always come with mistakes.
Young Master Liu looked at Xia Gongming's embarrassed face and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"What are you thinking, sir? Why don't you speak? I'm still waiting for your kind words, sir!"
When Xia Gongming heard Young Master Liu's questioning, the expression on his face suddenly became more embarrassed. He turned to look at Young Master Liu's expression that seemed to be 'a smile hiding a knife', and he laughed a few times with a depressed expression.
"Old minister, old minister, old minister, Your Majesty, these are completely unintentional words of the old minister!
How dare I pretend to be confused in front of His Majesty? I really don’t know much about marching and fighting. I hope Your Majesty will learn from it! "
"No, old fox, you must tell the truth today. Otherwise, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor."
"This... Your Majesty, aren't you trying to force others into a difficult situation?"
Xia Gongming murmured softly with a tangled expression, as if he had thought of something, and instinctively glanced at Cai Jun, the Honorable Marquis who was watching the show next to him.
"Your Majesty, I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask Marquis Rongwei about this matter. After all, he is now the head military attache in the imperial court and he definitely has more say in this matter than I."
Cai Jun, the Honorable Marquis of Rongwei, who was standing aside and watching the show, suddenly became unhappy when he heard that Xia Gongming actually caused trouble to himself.
Seeing Xia Gongming's evasive and erratic reaction, Rongwei Hou rushed to Xia Gongming with a quick step, blowing his beard and giving him a glare.
"Xia Gongming, you old bastard, you've gone too far.
The two of us had no grudges in the past, and no grudges these days. When I see you on weekdays, I would politely call you Xia Shoufu.
I ask myself, I have never offended you, right? Your Majesty asked you something, what are you trying to do to me?
You old bastard, you look like a kind-hearted person on the surface, why don't you do human affairs?
Considering that you are a few years older than me, I will not be as knowledgeable as you this time. If you dare to stumbling upon me again, I will never end it with you.
Others are afraid of you, Xia Gongming, but I, Cai Jun, am not afraid of you. "
Rongweihou denounced Xia Gongming for a disagreement, and then angrily retreated back to his original position after seeing Xia Gongming's sneer on his face.
Xia Gongming knew that he was in the wrong. When he saw that Cai Jun had stopped saying anything, he sighed with a bitter look on his face, but did not refute anything.
However, Cai Jun took out his dry tobacco bag and had just filled the tobacco pot with shredded tobacco. He cursed and rushed towards Xia Gongming.
“Hey, you old bastard, I’m getting angrier and angrier as I think about it, and I really can’t swallow this breath.
I have recruited you or provoked you. Why do you want to put fire on me when you are so good? No, I finally got the opportunity today, so I have to vent my anger properly. "
Xia Gongming looked at Cai Jun, the Rongwei Hou, who walked up to him angrily and cursed again, and his expression gradually turned bad.
"Old man, you're almost done.
I was thinking just now because I am a few years older than you. As an elder brother, I am not as knowledgeable as your younger brother, but don’t go too far.
When did I put the fire on your body? "
"Hey, old bastard, you are too thick-skinned. How long did it take for you to forget what you just said?
Your Majesty asks you a question, and you let me answer it. If this is not to turn fire on me, then what does it mean to turn fire on me? "
Xia Gongming looked indifferently at Cai Jun, the Honorable Marquis of Honor who was blowing his beard and staring, and raised his hand to gently stroke the gray beard on his chin a few times.
"Marquis Cai, I want to ask you, is the question your Majesty just asked about marching and fighting?"
"So what?"
"I'll ask you again, now that the Protector of the Country is arrogant and Yong'an Gong Nangong Ye... they are no longer in the capital, are you, Marquis Cai, the chief military officer in the court now?"
"Yes, so what?"
"I also want to ask you, you have made great achievements in military affairs throughout your life. Are you dozens of times better at marching and fighting than me, a scholar with a pen?"
"Old Zam... Hmm, Xia Shoufu, you still have some self-awareness."
Seeing Rong Weihou's gradually complacent reaction, Xia Gongming put down his right hand holding his beard and coughed twice.
"Your Majesty just asked about marching and fighting. You, Marquis Cai, are now the top military attache in the court, and your experience in arranging troops and formations is dozens of times better than mine.
In this case, I, a scholar, cannot answer the question. I suggest that your Majesty ask you, is there anything wrong with you, the head of the military attache? "
Rongwei Hou did not react to Xia Gongming's language trap at all, and instinctively followed Xia Gongming's words and said what he was thinking.
"Of course there's nothing wrong with it. If you don't ask us military attaches about marching and fighting, how can we ask you civil servants with pens?"
Xia Gongming clapped his hands lightly, smiled lightly and shrugged at Rongwei Hou.
"That's right, I'm just talking about the matter, so why did I put the fire on you, Marquis Cai? Think about it carefully, is this the truth?"
"Well! If you put it this way, Xia Shoufu, what you said is indeed matter-of-fact.
Um? its not right! its not right! "
"What's wrong? It's completely justified."
"I...I am..."
Hou Rongwei looked at Xia Gongming who had a reasonable face incoherently. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
I clearly felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
Xia Gongming looked at Hou Rongwei's speechless look, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes.
Old man, I can't get around you by playing tricks with me.
After muttering to himself, Xia Gongming bowed respectfully to Young Master Liu, who was happily watching the play.
"His Majesty."
When Young Master Liu heard Xia Gongming's words, he immediately stopped looking at the show happily and glanced at Xia Gongming lightly.
"Huh? Sir, have you decided how to answer me?"
"Your Majesty, if you want to ask about the soldiers' return date, it is more reliable to write to the two military marshals, Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai, than to ask the old ministers."
Liu Da raised his eyebrows and turned thoughtfully to look at the soldiers who had turned into black spots on the official road.
After the black spots completely disappeared, Liu Mingzhi turned and walked towards the bottom of the tower.
"Let's go back."
"I obey your orders."
"You should go and do your own government affairs. I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to my house to rest."
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
"Liu Song, go back home."
"yes."
Liu Mingzhi and Liu Song hurried back to the mansion on horseback, but he didn't know.
With this separation, a gangster that swept across the continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa, and deterred the barbarians for decades, was born.
