The Chanyu platform in the north of Xiangguo City was originally built by Prince Shi Sui to compete with the ban on the throne. Therefore, the structure is quite magnificent, far better than the old platform in Jiande Palace. Of course, because Shi Sui's power was taken away, the construction of the pavilion was not smooth, and according to the current situation, the possibility of rebuilding in the future is very small.

But even so, the five thousand reinforcements that had been built were more than enough to accommodate the resident letter. Shi Zun personally led Shi Min and others here, and the various troops of Xiangguo prepared meals and accommodation in advance. These nobles and elders were all guilty, and they did not dare to be stingy in order to avoid being harassed.

Shi Min and others worked hard all the way, so they naturally would not be polite now. The soldiers arrived one after another and arrived one after another. When all five thousand soldiers arrived and settled in, it was already dawn.

Because Shi Zunyan was the crisis of Xiangguo had been resolved, and the remaining troops in Xiangguo were also pursuing the Jin army, Shi Min was no longer in a hurry to use troops and simply ordered the soldiers to take a break. After all, it was indeed a laborious task to go through Xindu to get along with him day and night, and it was a matter of time to get a break in Xiangguo for a short time.

During this process, Shi Zunze was always here to accompany him and his attitude was very attentive. Although Shi Min had feelings about this, he was too lazy to think about it. After making some explanations, he took off his armor and clothes and went to bed.

Although it was only two or three hours to sleep until midday, for the generals who had experienced and had been in the Rong brigade for a long time, they were enough to recover their physical strength and eliminate their fatigue.

When Shi Minhang entered the temporary residence, he saw that Shi Zun was still here, and he was not at all because of his arrogance from his background, and he was actually commanding the soldiers to prepare materials for war horses.

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for. No matter how much Shi Min doesn't think so, he naturally cannot completely ignore Shi Zun's kindness. He went forward and bowed and signaled: "The army has its own responsibilities as a common man, and your highness really doesn't have to work hard in person."

"I was born in the world's most prosperous gateway, but I have always been aware of military affairs, so I feel ashamed to talk about it."

Hearing Shi Min's words, Shi Zun turned his head and sighed, "In the past, both father and brother were heroic, so I could maintain the forbidden garden without taking into account the complexities of the world. But this time, it was a disaster in the court. Seeing the arrogance of the Southern Thief, I realized how rare it was to enjoy the ordinary things in previous years, and I felt guilty for the inaction in previous years."

Shi Zun's words did come to his heart. Although the turmoil in Xiangguo did not last long, it brought a huge impact on him, especially when he saw all kinds of ugly appearances in front of him in previous years, Shi Sui still dared to draw his sword to intimidate him and even showed his murderous intention to him.

All kinds of things made Shi Zun deeply realize that in this world, one must never be without power. Otherwise, no matter how vanity and respect are, when the real disaster is in danger, he can only be allowed to be the meat of a mermaid.

It is precisely because of this understanding that he was so active during this period and began to truly attach importance to managing his own power. Previously, Xiangcheng Gongshi Shegui and others also expressed their dependence to him through various hints.

To be honest, Shi Zun doesn't think much of Shi Shegui and others, whether they were neglected by the Lord before or were clumsy in the turmoil of Xiangguo afterwards.

But Shi Zun also understood that as a not-so-obtrusive prince, the only legitimate son who could be relied on was already shaky. It was difficult for him to attract real powerful officials to help him. Often, there was no chance to contact those powerful figures.

As for this time, Shi Min led his people to return to China, it was a rare opportunity for Yu Shi Zun. Although strictly speaking, Shi Min, a fake relative who adopted Yu’s family since childhood, is actually not a powerful faction, but just a young warrior under the command of the Lord. In fact, there are many such figures under the command of the Lord.

But this is an appropriate choice for Shi Zun, a prince who is not very powerful, because if Shi Min's position is more prominent, Shi Zun will not be able to show anything that impresses the other party at all.

When Shi Min stepped forward, Shi Zun walked over and held his hand and smiled, "Actually, I am also an old acquaintance with Ji Nu. Even if we have a friendship, we can be called a commoner. Now that you follow the Lord, your reputation has already shaken Heshuo, but I am still a lazy person in the garden. Even if you have a heart to make friends, you may be disgusted with your actions..."

Shi Min was not used to Shi Zun's intimate attitude. Although he was not flattered, he still clasped his fists and said, "The last general is just a martial artsman. Fortunately, the winner is promoted with love. It is really hard to be treated as such a courtesy of Your Highness."

"The fault of etiquette is false, not to mention that others have just said that Ji Nu, you are the heroes trained by my family. Why should we be polite?"

Shi Zun said with a smile again. In previous years, he was just because his brother Shi Sui was too eye-catching in front of him, so he could not make any small moves, but it did not mean that he was completely uneasy and did not understand the principles of dealing with people. Because he was able to be calm and self-reliant, he seemed more kind and kind than other brothers.

Sure enough, after being repeatedly shown goodwill by Shi Zun, Shi Min's posture gradually eased, but he did not dare to forget about doing this matter. He said seriously: "Your order is very important and I dare not be negligent. I also ask Your Highness to guide the last general to enter the garden to worship His Majesty the Queen, and to hear all kinds of feelings from the thieves and fight against the thieves quickly."

Shi Zun came forward to receive reinforcements, and it was the second to win over Shi Min. The main intention was to prevent him from entering the palace to meet the queen too early. Therefore, after hearing Shi Min say this, his face slightly changed, and then sighed: "My mother is already a weak woman. After being disturbed, she is already sick and can't be summoned immediately, but it's not that she is too arrogant to you."

"Since that's the case, then please forgive me for your ritual of worship."

After a pause, Shi Min said again: "It's just that the military situation is like fire, so it cannot be delayed. Is there any time for His Royal Highness and the King to lead the army to meet?"

"The capital is in chaos, and His Highness the Crown Prince stays behind the prison and is busy pursuing the sanctions. I have sent envoys to inform you. As for when His Highness the Crown Prince is free, I cannot decide."

Shi Zun said bitterly again: "As for the leader Wang Lang, hey, if he hadn't been foolish and impaired the country, the capital would not have had a sudden disaster this time..."

When Shi Min heard this, no matter how dull it was, he realized that the situation in Xiangguo was strange. The queen did not want to see him, and the prince did not want to see him. As for Wang Lang, the confidant arranged by the lord in Xiangguo, since Shi Zun said so, the situation must be in a bad situation.

"The last general led his troops back to the country, but he was ordered by the Lord to fight against the thieves. Since the dangers of Xiangguo have been lifted and it is useless to stay for a long time, it is better to pursue the thieves first."

Shi Min stepped forward, put his palm faintly on the sword between his crotch, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness will also send a messenger to convey the order of this king, and then ask the city to prepare some equipment for the army, and inform the thieves in detail. Finally, he will lead his troops to attack immediately."

Shi Zun looked calm, as if he did not notice Shi Min's hidden threatening attitude. Instead, he stepped forward and patted Shi Min on the shoulder and smiled: "Sure enough, in the storm, only his own pillars can be relied on. If the ministers and officials in the past were as loyal and brave as generals, then what worries would be there in the country! As for the general's request, this is all right. I have sent someone to the city in the early morning to start the report. But it takes time to raise the dispatch. During this period, I, a villain, still want to disturb you here, and I hope Ji Nu will not get tired of it."

Shi Zun's words and attitudes made Shi Min unable to find a chance to continue attacking. He could only temporarily suppress all kinds of suspicion and irritability, and used the excuse of patrolling the camp and leaving, but arranged for people to enter the city to investigate. At the same time, he arranged for a quick horse to report to the letter to Xiangguo at any time.

When Shi Min returned again, he saw Shi Zun'an's expression calm and calm in the seat, and he was not as nervous as a hostage. This made Shi Min a little confused. He didn't know whether he was too sensitive or whether this Boling Gong had an unknown talent for Yajing.

Before, after a quick look outside the city, Shi Min had already seen the destruction of Xiangguo, especially the direction of the palace, with his own eyes, which was definitely not as simple as Shi Zun said. He was also impatient to continue to circle around and simply spoke directly: "Fortunately, Your Highness took his family as his personal attention. I will dare to ask, is Wang Lingjun still alive at this time?"

This question is a bit rushing, but it also points to the key points. It should be noted that in the entire Xiangguo City, the leader Wang Lang is considered the true trust of Shi Hu. As the leader of the reinforcements sent by Shi Hu, Shi Min should naturally contact Wang Lang. If Wang Lang makes any mistakes, no matter what the reason is, at least it means that the current Xiangguo is no longer controlled by the Lord to some extent.

"Wang Lang is dead."

Shi Zun did not hide this. The old guy Shi Shegui killed Wang Lang directly in front of everyone, which directly triggered the collapse of the imperial guards and also made him lack strength later. He was blocked by 200 cavalrymen from thousands of chaotic people in the Jin army. Such a big storm could not be concealed at all.

If Shi Min hadn't returned too quickly, he could have learned about this through hearing, even in one day's evening, so there was no need to hide it.

When Shi Min heard this, his eyes flashed, and there was already a terrifying light flowing. He said with great silence: "Since that's the case, please stay in the army for a while, and please report to the Crown Prince again, please raise money before nightfall. The military order urgently urged him to stay for a long time. If you have nothing to gain or have any rudeness at that time, you will be forgiven by entering the city."

"Why have to wait any longer? Ji Nu has naturally realized that the situation is inappropriate. Why not just send troops directly at this time? If you wait for nightfall, the city will be prepared for it, so it is better to take advantage of it."

Hearing Shi Zun say this, Shi Min's face became even colder. He simply pulled out the knife and placed it on the table: "Your Highness is going to find out whether I am brave or not? When the army moves, the lives of people are infinity. We are all guards, only by the orders of the Lord and the Lord. In the battle formation, no matter who is there, you are just waiting to be cut into weeds!"

Even though Shi Zun was confident, when the murderous aura of a powerful general like Shi Min was revealed without any concealment, he became a little unnatural, his eyes were pulled back at the sword blade, and then he smiled and said with a strong smile: "I am willing to enter this, and with all the prefaces, why do you think of me as an enemy? Besides, I am just a weak idle person, and my courage is not as good as a small person. What I can rely on is just a body of blood from the master. If you kill me, I cannot stop it, but if you can listen to my words quietly, you and I will make a great progress together."

When Shi Min heard this, his brows frowned deeply. He took back the sword and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is the master's direct blood. What do you mean by killing and hurting? The last general is stupid and stupid, but only knows loyalty and courage, and may not be enough to make plans."

Even though he said so, he did not leave immediately, but sat upright in the room and showed an attitude of personally monitoring Shi Zun.

Seeing this, Shi Zun felt slightly calmer and understood that this man was not as interested in his plan as he said, but he just put pressure on him with such an unwilling attitude of cooperation.

"Speaking together will make great progress. In fact, for me, I will save myself more, but for you, it is a rare opportunity to make a big progress. You are self-confessed, and I am the master of my bones and blood. How can the theory of rebellion come from between you and me?"

Shi Zun continued to say slowly: "This time the Xiangguo disaster is as strange as Ji Nu saw, there are indeed many strange things. There are all kinds of hidden things. To be honest, even those who are like me are confused. Even the enemy has left the country, there are still many dangers and dangers. Ji Nu, you don't want to go deep into this, but you only take the emperor's order first. In the capital, a pool of turbid water enters this lightly. Even if you don't drown, your body will be foul smell, which is inevitable."

When Shi Min heard this, he looked at Shi Zun deeply, and his eyes paid more attention than before. This was indeed what he said. His army entered here and looked at a broken Xiangguo, so he had to give him a deadline. It was not because he was worried that the people in the city would be blocked, but because he still didn't know the key point. Once the army entered, he might be bound to bear the bad reputation of killing the crown prince.

Shi Min followed the Lord all year round, so he naturally knew that the Lord had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Prince's prince was about to explode, but this was not the reason why he did the Lord to clean up the house. At least when he led his army to help, the Lord did not clearly order him to directly arrest him or even surround the prince. However, once the prince had any extreme actions, whether to kill the other party was killed or not was not something Shi Min could decide.

"Pingyuan Gong was supposed to supervise the war in southern Hebei, but he led his troops back to the country. He was in a hurry and did not dare to stay in the capital and go straight to Xiangguo. As for the troops who attacked Xiangguo, they came to chase Pingyuan Gong's footsteps. The battle situation in southern Hebei is probably already a major reversal, right?"

Shi Zun looked at Shi Min and continued to say. Although he didn't answer when he saw Shi Min, his eyes suddenly condensed, which naturally made him more confident in his guess.

"Then I would like to ask, the defeat of southern Ji, the chaos of Xiangguo City, and many national affairs, and many sons of Niei were involved in it. Even if you are a general, even if you are a powerful cavalry and powerful, can you get enough rewards for your title?"

Before Shi Min answered, Shi Zun smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible! In the future, whether the country's achievements will be promoted or not is not in the battle formation, but in the use of our superiors to retreat. I am not trying to persuade Ji Nu, you should be loyal to the king's affairs, but even if you have great courage and strength, why should you spend too much money? You are in the border area to conquer and fight, but the corpse positions in the country are speculating. Even if the general can claim that he will not betray the king's kindness, the soldiers under his command may be the same as the king and do not resent?"

When Shi Min heard this, he became even more silent and even lowered his head. He did not expect this section, but he also understood that this statement was true. In recent years, all the state affairs, including the most powerful princes like Prince Shi Sui and Pingyuan Gong Shi Xuan, were deeply involved. Moreover, Shi Zun was not clear, but Shi Min knew that Bohai Gong Shi Tao had died in Henan.

So it can be imagined that there will be some major adjustments in the country in the future. As Shi Zun said, those who fight hard are useless and those who have corpses are moved high. It is absolutely impossible.

However, Shi Zun said this, which always made Shi Min feel a little strange. After all, the country belongs to his family, and his family members advised their subjects not to be too loyal to the king's affairs.

But it has to be said that after Shi Zun said this, Shi Min was not as eager to pursue the enemy as before. He did not have any idea of ​​cowardice and fear of war, or felt that he would have a great opportunity to stay in the country, but understood the most simple truth, that is, when the storm is in turmoil, there may not be rewards for merit, but if he is in trouble, there will be punishments for mistakes.

Not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes is the safest way to protect yourself at this moment. If anyone shows too freely and attracts too much attention, it will definitely be a coexistence of crises.

But Shi Min couldn't help but feel sad again. At the moment, even if he wanted to protect himself, he would be able to lead his troops to help. If he did nothing, what good face would he give him when the Lord returned to the south?

Regarding his own personal interests, Shi Min could no longer maintain the indifference he had before. After hesitating, he still spoke: "The Lord ordered me to go south to conquer the enemy, clear the counties and counties, and drive the orders urgently, how dare I neglect..."

After hearing this, Shi Zun smiled slightly: "The current troubles in the country are far more troubled than external troubles. For example, the current disaster in Xiangguo is that the enemy who violates the territory is only a few hundred thousand, but it can cause great harm to our country. Is it really just that the southern thieves can fight bravely and the heavenly soldiers come to the world? It's just that the internal disturbances are deeply disturbed and each one takes the restraint, so that the enemy can take advantage of it."

"Even if all the hundreds of thousands of people are scattered, it is not enough to praise the merits. Besides, the southerners are in a state of justice and arrogance, so they may not allow me to come and go calmly. There are thousands of people who will come to the scene after being disturbed by the inside and outside, and they will not be able to respond calmly. The Lord has been in charge of state affairs for a long time, so can't we see clearly this point of severity?"

Shi Min frowned and said, "Why did Your Highness teach me? You might as well speak out."

"At present, although the external troubles of Xiangguo have retreated, the traitors are still in line. In this case, the reinforcements dare not ignore them and pursue the weak enemy lightly. It is advisable to repair the palace ban and slap the soldiers and the people, so as to wait for the lord to return to the town."

This is the second time that Shi Zun has granted the entire city of Xiangguo to others. The first time he was unfamiliar and had to lie to the queen's edict, but now he is much more skillful.

After hearing this, Shi Min frowned and said, "The Lord has no such fate... What's more, Your Highness, and the King Leader, why is it that the disaster?"

Seeing that Shi Min was still hesitant, but did not veto him, Shi Zun continued: "The prince was powerless in charge of the country, and the leader was incompetent in defending the city. The conclusive facts were right in front of him. What is there to argue about this? As for the cause of death of the leader, no matter what, he was responsible for the kindness of the master, and Xiangguo was in trouble with him, and he could not protect himself. Anyway, it was a great crime to the country, and he was still worthy of death!"

When Shi Min heard this, he felt a little frightened, and his eyes looked at Shi Zun even more awesome. In such a strange situation in Xiangguo, it can be said that Wang Lang's death must be wronged, but Shi Zun said this to completely erase his merits. What is wrong with his grievances, and even his reputation behind him should be erased. Even if he is young, he should not underestimate his cruel nature of choosing someone to eat!

"The prince, I will lobby for comfort, but I will not let him stop you from rectifying the city affairs. In fact, how about the city defense in Xiangguo? It's just a trivial matter. You have come here. You know that the lord is not far away from the city affairs. However, inside and outside the city, many people who have suffered chaos have to be reconciled as soon as possible, otherwise they will be decayed and decayed."

After hearing this, Shi Min finally understood that Shi Zun had such a big circle, not that he wanted to help him to the position of Xiangguo City. This was not something they could decide, and Shi Min was not interested in it at all. He was in his prime and was pursuing his achievements from all directions, and he was unwilling to stay in the same place.

Shi Zun's true intention was to teach him to incorporate the Jin and Hu people inside and outside the Xiangguo city in the shortest time, and this did touch Shi Min's heart.

As a young general in Jie Kingdom, he naturally had the desire to recruit troops and reorganize a private army of his own. It was not that he had rebellious in his heart, but because only by having his own direct team was the right way for the warrior to settle down.

Shi Min lost his orphan when he was young, and then was adopted by Shi Hu in the mansion. Even though his father still had some beggars, he still died in so many years. Although he is more highly valued by the master, this kind of reuse is entirely a thought. He does not have his own power. This time he led his troops back to his country, and the five thousand people seemed majestic, but in fact, he could not keep it with just one imperial edict.

Especially as the Jin State in the south became more and more powerful, the master became more and more cautious about the Han ministers under his command. Although Shi Min had a fake grandson, he actually felt more and more difficult to stand. After all, he was just a slave of the Shi family. The master was willing to use him because of his harmlessness. Once disaster strikes, he could only be killed and had no ability to rebel.

Shi Min also saw the ups and downs of the official career of Jie Kingdom. What about Ma Qiu, who is a rising star like him, who is known as the number one general of the Lord Qiandi? He was a little disappointed and scolded him, just because he did not have his own team power, and was just a chess piece that could be discarded at any time in his hand.

Thinking of his situation, Shi Min couldn't help but think of Li Nong, who was similar to his age and qualifications. Li Nong was also from Kebai, but unlike Shi Min, who had already cut off contact, he was always a staunch general of the Qihuo Army. Shangbai Qihuo, who was born in, was the most powerful in the entire Qihuo Army remnant system.

The Lord was indeed wary of such a person and would not be confidant, but he did not dare to humiliate and scold him at will. Not long ago, in order to appease the Qihuo Army transferred to the north, he could stabilize Youzhou and attack Bingzhou, the Lord appointed Li Nong as Sikong, who was ranked third, which was far from Shi Min.

As he became more and more powerful, Shi Min did not have the intention to regain his friendship with the Qihuo Army, but he also regarded it as a force he could rely on at a critical moment. However, the Qihuo Army was the most closed and xenophobic. Shi Kan, who was destroyed in the early years of the Central Plains War, was also from the Qihuo Army, but it was different from the Qihuo Remnants of Guangzong. The Qihuo Army sat down and watched the person being attacked and captured by the southerners without any assistance.

As for Shi Min, who is a long-standing beggar bloodline, it is even more difficult to gain recognition.

Shi Zun's proposal showed Shi Min a new possibility, but he was still a little confused and just sighed: "I'm afraid the master has already made a decision..."

"But there is no face-to-face opportunity yet? If Ji Nu thinks that he should not use the emperor's orders, I am about to open a house. You might as well choose the courage to send it to my house temporarily. Then we will have good fortune and good fortune together and work together. The storm is storm, but the roots are deep and the leaves are lush. The opportunity is short and we will never wait for it."

When Shi Min heard this, his shoulders trembled slightly. After a while, he turned over and stood up to bow to Shi Zun's seat, and said in a voice: "Fortunately, Your Highness will not abandon..."

"You are my family and you can entrust your life. What are these small things? The roads are broad in the future, and you and I should pay attention to!"

Shi Zun also left the seat, but still had a close attitude, and surrounded Shi Min and helped him up. ()
