Let’s not talk about the complicated-looking emperor, but just talk about Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
Da Lao Huang looked at Han You closely with extremely strange eyes.
He really didn't expect that this kid would be so promising. Compared with other charming bitches, Han You's methods were much better.
In Boss Zhou's defeat, it can be said that he was aggrieved when his grandma opened the door for his daughter, and aggrieved when his mother came home.
The cause of the incident was that a small tribe of Fanman outside the pass attacked a caravan leaving the pass. This caravan belonged to the You family, and the former prime minister also had a surname of You.
The caravan was captured, and Chen Liufang, the commander of the Xiaoqi camp, led two thousand cavalry to rescue them.
So why did he go to the rescue? Because his wife's surname was You, and he was the son-in-law of the former prime minister.
As a result, the caravan failed to rescue him and he got in by himself.
After the former prime minister knew about this, he ordered the border commander to rescue Chen Liufang, otherwise he would be held accountable. Not only the commander, but also all the camp leaders would be in trouble.
Among the people in the army, apart from their connections, each one is stronger than the other. If you are accused, you will be accused. It is already autumn. No matter where you save them on the vast grassland, you will have a narrow escape.
It was under this premise that Boss Zhou decided to go and take the elite out to rescue the Xiaoqi camp. According to the information obtained by Xizuo, the small tribe only had more than 4,000 people, including all men, women, old and young. , the only troublesome thing is that they have already retreated, and if they want to save them, they need to bypass many large tribes.
Boss Zhou is not familiar with the general of the Xiaoqi camp, but he has a good relationship with other generals. He knows very well what kind of officials these officials in the capital are, and is afraid that they may secretly stumble the border troops and withhold the meager supplies of food and grass. For the sake of his brothers, Boss Zhou led his troops deep into the grassland.
As a result, it turned into a humiliation that is difficult to wash away.
After encountering the enemy several times in succession, they were still ambushed and lost nearly half of their troops. Finally, they found the tribe. That bastard Chen Liufang had surrendered to the enemy and was drinking with several tribal leaders in the big tent.
In a fit of rage, Boss Zhou led his troops to burn the war horses' food and fodder and then massacred them.
After beheading more than a dozen people and tribal leaders, including Zaifu's son-in-law, Boss Zhou took his already exhausted subordinates and ran back. They were chased almost all the way, and finally returned to the border town. Not a single one of Gongma Camp was left alive. .
After all, he was killed by Chen Liufang himself, so there was no way to say that his son-in-law had defected to the enemy. Seeing that Boss Zhou suffered heavy casualties, the court finally did not blame him and thought that Zaifu's son-in-law had died in Huangsha.
It wasn't until Boss Zhou came to the throne that many court ministers learned what was going on after listening to other border generals.
But at this time, Boss Zhou was already the emperor, and it was impossible for everyone to spread the word about what happened at the beginning.
Today, someone has come forward and publicized it widely in the form of drama, restoring the original truth. This makes Boss Zhou unmoved and unmoved.
It is worth mentioning that the old eunuch Wen Wu was Boss Zhou's deputy general at that time. He was shot with an arrow to protect the emperor. This arrow was very vicious. In short, it was an arrow that pierced the egg and hit the bull's-eye.
Just when everyone thought that Han You's drama was to clear up Boss Zhou's name, the style of the "stage" changed, and with the sound of a rich bass, the drama had just begun.
The protagonist of this play is not Boss Zhou at all, but the army, the disabled army.
The army hired by Han You, the truly disabled army, appeared on the stage.
Or wearing common clothes, pushing a carriage, dragging the remaining legs, sweating like rain...
Or like a servant, with his head lowered, being scolded by a young man in fine clothes...
Or standing next to the rice vat, counting the rice one by one, while the little actor is rubbing his belly and crying...
Or walking around, people in different clothes point to the injured areas and wave away...
After a while, these people walked to different tombstones and sat next to them, laughing and crying, as if bragging with their former robes about how good and happy they were living now.
Crying, laughing, talking, and shouting, for a long time, they stood up and walked in all directions, but some people fell down while walking, as if dead, lying there, motionless.
Not only the generals of the Ministry of War, but also several ministers were moved.
The emperor's eyes were already red and he clenched his fists tightly.
Of these troops, which ones had their armor removed, which one was not disabled, which one was not struggling, but which one met a good end after removing their armor?
Including the emperor, many people seemed to have a fire in their chests, and this fire seemed to be burning upward, making them blush.
Suddenly, the sound of trumpets came and the sound of drums was like raindrops.
The prairie barbarians riding horses, holding scimitars, and wearing animal skins rushed out again, rushed towards the people dressed as civilians, and slashed with their swords.
The soldiers moved, the disabled soldiers who walked slowly and prancingly, moved, their eyes were split, they turned around and ran, faster and faster.
The "dead" soldiers who fell on the ground stood up with support, picked up the broken knives, iron spears, and broken shields on the ground, and rushed towards the enemy.
"Jiashi, Jiashi, Jiashi from the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"Sheng, a soldier, a soldier from the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"Death, Yijiashi, Dazhou Jiajiashi..."
"A soldier in arms protects the people, builds the city with his flesh and blood, uses his body as a sword to defend against foreign enemies, and will never regret it even if he dies..."
He is disabled and fighting on foot, so how can he be an opponent of the barbarian cavalry.
Those soldiers fell under the hooves of the horses, and no one "survived".
The play ends.
The autumn sun is shining high and the breeze is gentle.
In the stands, the emperor and his ministers were silent.
After a long time, the emperor spoke softly: "Han Qing, sit beside me."
This "Han Qing", calling a person with no official position and no position as "Qing", did not make the civil servants and generals present feel at all awkward, especially the military generals. On the contrary, they felt that Han You deserved to be called "Qing".
Han You sat next to the emperor, and Boss Zhou let out a loud breath: "I, I misunderstood you."
Young Master Han seemed to have guessed what happened, smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"I don't want to hide it from you. Just now in the court, Cao Qilai told me that you are using the military to gain a good reputation. There is no military in your heart."
A trace of guilt flashed across Boss Zhou's face: "I hesitated. It's not because I don't believe you. It's just that you have never been in the army and don't know the hardships of the army. Just like many people in this world who are wolf-hearted and dog-eat-dog, they call the army Qiubana." Like."
Han You shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying nothing, just smiling bitterly.
"This show is not good." Boss Zhou sighed: "This show is not good, it is not good."
Han You was confused: "Your Majesty means..."
"Old soldiers who have taken off their armor should...should enjoy their old age in peace. Why...why do they have to die on the battlefield again?"
"Because when they were alive, they protected the people with their lives and flesh and blood. Even when they died, they still protected us and the people."
"Well said!" A minister from the Nine Temples suddenly slapped his thigh: "The army is heroic, life and death are unchanged, it moves the heaven and the earth!"
Han You looked up and was stunned for a moment, who is this Lao Deng?
After taking a closer look, Han You remembered that it turned out that Da Lao Huang's son was Xu Wenjin, the chief minister of Taipu Temple.
Seeing Han You looking over, Xu Wenjin nodded heavily with tears in his eyes.
"Call those old soldiers who have taken off their armor. I want to see them."
The emperor turned around and confessed to Wenwu, who ran away.
The monarchs and ministers were sighing.
Only the two of them looked extremely different.
The first one was Ma Rulong. Looking at the back of Han You's head, murderous intent suddenly appeared.
The other person is Cao Qilai, who is covered in cold sweat. He finally found the "disabled troops" as he wished, right in the audience, but these disabled troops are likely to make him infamous.
Zhou Yan and Wen Wu came back, and more than thirty disabled troops walked over in formation. The leader was missing half an arm.
The emperor stood up and came to the guardrail: "I failed you."
The leader knelt on one knee, and the troops behind him did the same.
"Rewards, all rewarded." It was rare for the emperor to get blood, and he waved his hand: "Everyone who sings the opera will be rewarded."
"Grass people, common people don't dare."
The leader raised his head, with a look of fear on his face: "The common people and all the brothers... will only go on stage this time. We will leave the villa soon. If we don't go on stage again, we will not dare to receive your majesty's reward."
The monarch and his ministers were stunned, and Han You was also stunned. Only Cao Qilai showed ecstasy and subconsciously shouted: "Han You, you really used these hills... and the army to deceive His Majesty. How about it? It's been exposed. Let's see if you can still How to quibble!"
Han You was really confused. He didn't wait for the emperor and his ministers to ask questions, and looked at the leader coldly: "If I remember correctly, your name is Zhu Shang, right? Heisha Zhen, the original border pass, holds the flag."
"If I tell you Shaoyin, you are a commoner."
Zhu Shang knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Han You three times.
Han You remained unmoved, his expression gloomy. "When I hired you, I agreed to perform on stage and provide nursing services for the villa. Why did you just say no to that?"
"The grassroots and the brothers are afraid...Afraid that Shao Yin will be implicated."
"Harm me?"
Zhu Shang lowered his head, his voice full of helplessness and sorrow: "Just now, I heard from the brothers behind the stage that several adults were talking about His Majesty's purpose of coming today, saying... that you were using the military to gain good reputation. , and also said that you hired the brothers, and what evil intentions were hidden..."
Before he finished speaking, several soldiers behind him also started talking.
"You are the reborn parents of our little one, and you are so kind as a mountain. You are willing to take us in, but we are not careless people. We would rather not receive this favor from you than bring you down..."
"Brothers are all hard-working warriors. If you are disabled, you will be disabled. It is your own fault..."
"You are a kind person, you are a kind person. Brothers, I will never let any idiot throw dirty water on you because of your kindness..."
"Young ones can't stay here anymore. I'll work for you in my next life to repay your kindness..."
"Brothers, you have to leave. Not only do you have to leave, but you also need to tell the robes that they will stay far away from you when they see you in the future. Otherwise, the dirty beasts will stumble upon you again..."
"It's okay for such a bitch to bully us Qiu Ba, but we will definitely not harm you. Even if we die or starve to death at home, we will not return to this villa..."
A group of old soldiers with their armor removed were crying, cursing, kowtowing, and shouting, as if they wanted to leave at any cost.
The generals of the Ministry of War and several adults looked at the pale-faced Cao Qilai with red eyes.
The emperor's face was as gloomy as water, and his teeth were clenching.
"Cao! Qi! Come!"
The emperor gritted his teeth, word by word, and suddenly turned around, as if he wanted to eat someone: "I, I...I am going to chop you alive, you beast!"
The king and his ministers are all angry, no matter it is real anger or fake anger, they must be angry. Whoever is not angry, the emperor will be angry with him!
A group of generals from the Ministry of War would have wanted to take action if the emperor had not been present.
A trace of confusion flashed across Han You's eyes, and then he suddenly looked at someone with an incomprehensible look.
Da Lao Huang stood in the distance with his hands down, as if watching a play, and cursed from time to time.
