    No matter whether the generals asked angrily or pleaded humbly, they could not make the two prime ministers change their minds.

    Tang Xing and Zhang Pu¡¯s suggestions were highly recognized by the Xiao generals.  After realizing that the situation could no longer turn around, the Yang generals had to force themselves to accept this cruel reality.  Since they can't stop it, the only thing they can do is not to insert some of their own people into the Right Divine Power Army.  The generals of the Xiao clan, who had been fighting against the Yang clan for more than ten years, finally won a great victory today. With pride and elation, they very "magnanimously" gave up the position of Sima Governor - the Sima of the army was of course still Tu Da;  The Du side can barely accept this result.  So the meeting was almost over.

    Tang Xing, the old prime minister who presided over the meeting, finally said: "After you go back, don't do everything according to the new "Code of Conduct". After all, the new "Code of Conduct" is mainly compiled based on the training situation of the Yanshan Guards; the Yanshan Guards  It is a frontier garrison, and many situations are different from those of the Forbidden Army. Therefore, when you are training troops, some details can be dealt with immediately by taking into account past situations. However, the details of military training must be carefully written down. These documents must be reviewed later.  Deliver it to the Ministry of War" He gave some more instructions, and finally asked Zhang Pu: "That's all I want to say. Is there anything else that Prime Minister Zhang wants to say to the generals?"

    "No more." Zhang Pu said.

    "So that's it for today?"

    "good."

    Tang Xing nodded slightly, turned his head and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Du stood up holding the long case.  Following his movements, the heavy carved ebony nanmu seat slid on the blue bricks on the ground, making an unpleasant creaking sound.  Without even looking at the two prime ministers, without saying hello to anyone, he dragged the obstructing seat to one side, kicked off his leather boots and strode out of the main hall without looking back.  With him taking the lead, the generals of the Yang family who had suffered a great loss had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces. They stood up and made military salutes to the three prime ministers, deputy ministers, and a few Shangzhu Kingdoms scattered randomly, chasing Yang Du's back.  He rushed out in a hurry.

    Zhang Pu and Zeng Ao each had a lot of things to be busy with, so they couldn't delay here any longer, and they didn't have time to pay attention to Yang Du's disrespect. Everyone in the court nodded slightly and left first; Tang Xing, on the other hand,  He didn't look like he was in a hurry to leave.  He said: "Let's all leave. Yiyi Zida, please stay a moment. I have something private to ask you."

    Since Tang Xing made it clear that he had something to discuss with Shang Cheng, why would others linger here?  Gu Shi, Yan Gu, Shangguan Rui, Chen Pu and other generals said goodbye to the old prime minister one after another and left.

    The main hall of the Ministry of War, which was noisy just now like a market in a town, suddenly became deserted.

    Shang Cheng was baffled and didn't sit down again.  He stood there, watching the old Xiangguo staggering, arranging the scattered chairs in front of the long desk one by one. He did not say a word until Tang Xing put the last chair in place.

    Tang Xing looked at his work with satisfaction and said to Shang Cheng: "Let's go and talk while walking. I originally planned to send a message to you in the past two days, but you just happened to be back!"

    Shang Cheng was speechless and followed Tang Xing silently outside the Yamen of the Ministry of War.  When he passed the high threshold at the entrance of the courtyard, he took Tang Xing's arm to help the old man.

    Although with Shang Cheng¡¯s help, Tang Xing¡¯s legs and feet were still not very agile. Although his steps were still relatively steady, his steps were very small and he walked very slowly.  After walking for a while, Lao Xiangguo suddenly said with emotion: "When people get old, their arms and legs are really bad."

    Shang Cheng still didn¡¯t speak.  He just held the old man's arm and walked slowly with him like a walk.

    The Ministry of War was one of the most important yamen in the imperial court, and also one of the liveliest yamen. The several ministries and departments courtyards on both sides of the stone road were filled with people coming and going with almost no time to rest.  Even if these officials and military officers did not know Tang Xing and Shang Cheng, they knew that they were two great figures when they saw their clothes, so they bowed from a distance and moved out of the way.

    After walking for a while, Tang Xing said again: "I remember you told me once that you were seriously injured when you were just eating military rations, and it was a doctor from Yi County who saved you.  Life. Is this the case one by one?"

    "Yes." Shang Cheng said, "It was the miracle doctor Zhu who saved my life. That summer I was ordered to attack Gongqian Pass. On the wall of the pass, I met a Tujiec man who wielded a big iron hammer. The Tujiec man's  He was so strong that I was no match for him. If a brother hadn't jumped on me to block me, I wouldn't have survived until now. The brother left on the spot, and I was knocked off the wall with a hammer.  I fell into a crowd of Tujiec people and they fainted. A dozen people died just to save me. A dozen people paid for my life with their own lives!" he said.  As he spoke, his voice deepened.?My mood was also inexplicably depressed.  The things that happened a few years ago suddenly appeared in front of his eyes with great clarity.  Buying horses, transporting grain, the Tujieci tribe, the death of Uncle Zhuzhu, his and Shitou's escape, and Lianniang and the child in her belly He tightened his lips and didn't want to talk anymore.  He also lost the courage to speak!  He lowered his eyelids and stared at the bluestone paving the way under his feet, watching the stone slabs slowly move from far to near, and then slowly disappear out of sight He originally thought that as time passed, many things would change.  They will be slowly forgotten by people, and finally turn into pieces of frozen pictures like photos. Then he can forget those sad and tragic things, leaving only moments of happiness and joy.  However, why is it that the things he hopes to forget the most are still so clear to this day, as if they are engraved in his mind, and bring him pain and regret over and over again; while the beautiful moments he hopes to retain the most are gradually disappearing.  The ground becomes blurry and dim?  Could it be that this most memorable and beautiful time in his life will eventually leave him one day?  An inexplicable fear and worry surged in his heart.

    Just when he was about to immerse himself in his inner world, Old Xiangguo's words brought him back to reality.

    "The person who treated you at that time was the miracle doctor Zhu?"

    "Yes, that's him." Shang Cheng tried hard to make his voice sound the same as usual.  But he failed.  He can't do it!  He said sadly, "When I was rescued, it was said that I could no longer feel my pulse. The stone was my brother. My brother went back and found Dr. Zhu, and invited him from the county seat to Gongqian overnight.  In the military camp in front of the pass, I was lucky enough to survive."

    Tang Xing said with emotion: "This Doctor Zhu is robbing people under the hands of the King of Hell! If he can do this, he deserves the title of 'miracle doctor'!"

    Shangcheng strongly agrees with this evaluation.  He has always admired Dr. Zhu's medical skills, even to the point of being somewhat superstitious.  Otherwise, when he fell off his horse in Fangzhou last year, he would not have left the two imperial doctors unused and would have invited Doctor Zhu all the way from Yi County to Fangzhou to treat him.

    "It's like this, Zida," Tang Xing smiled and nodded to the two oncoming Ministry of War officials, thinking carefully about his words, "From last year to now, I have a boil on my vest that is as big as a fingernail.  , it always hurts from time to time. And I can't touch it. The pain is excruciating when I touch it. Because of this, I can't even turn over when sleeping, and I don't dare to lean on the back of the chair when I sit down. And I have to touch it all the time.  Be careful. The doctor from the Tai Hospital has seen it and said that it is due to liver deficiency, excessive fire, and heat poison attacking the heart. I have taken a lot of medicine, but it has no effect at all. Especially since this summer, the pain seems to be getting worse and worse.  Tell me, can a miracle doctor cure my disease?"

    Shang Cheng was stunned after hearing what he said.  He never imagined that Tang Xing kept him here specifically just to ask about Dr. Zhu.  But he immediately said comprehensively: "It must be no problem! You don't know that Dr. Zhu's real skill is not in blue and infrared injuries, but in treating various difficult and complicated diseases!" He immediately gave an example to prove himself  the words said.  "Didn't I get injured when I fell from a horse last year? Doctor Zhu came to Fangzhou to treat my illness at that time!" He suddenly remembered that he was still "recuperating" in the capital. He became angry and couldn't help but think a little.  Scolding.  But he thought about it and finally swallowed all the unpleasant words.  When it came to him being transferred out of Yanshan and idle in the capital, Tang Xing, as the left prime minister, must have nodded; he couldn't say bad things in front of the old prime minister, right?  So he changed his mind and said, " Otherwise, I will write a letter back and ask the miracle doctor to come to the capital for a visit soon."

    Tang Xing smiled and shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I will be serving as an official next year, and it won't be too late to invite a miracle doctor to treat me by then."

    Shang Cheng knew that Tang Xing was about to retire and recommended Zhang Pu to take over as the left prime minister, so he had to worry about whether inviting the miracle doctor Zhu to come now would leave a bad impression on others.  .  He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. However, when you said that, I suddenly remembered something. I made an appointment with Divine Doctor Zhu last year. When I settle down here, I will invite him over.  Traveled around the Central Plains; I wrote a letter to him some time ago, inviting him to come as a guest; calculating the date, he should be arriving soon."

    Tang Xing chuckled and stopped talking about it.

    After walking out of the yamen of the Ministry of War, an official from the Prime Minister's Office was about to come over to help Tang Xing; not far away, there were two men in uniform guarding a purple-covered soft sedan on the Tianjie Street - this was obviously the emperor.  The franchise was granted to Tangxing for transportation purposes.  Tang Xing waved his hand and signaled the official not to come over yet. He stopped and said to Shang Cheng, "Let me tell you something again. Zhu Xu is seriously ill and can no longer take care of his affairs. Although the Yanshan Admiral's Mansion informed the news  blockadeIt was very strict, but the censor of Yanzhou still heard the news and had already sent back a letter of fengchuanchi.  "

    "What's going on?" Shang Cheng couldn't bear to be surprised and asked hurriedly.  Although Zhuxu is not a toy for those who suffer from mother-in-law, those bastards can't make a Shangzhuguo angry to death, can they?

    "The Chishu of Yanzhou Yushi said that today's Zhuxu's body is swollen and swollen, looking like a person entering a brocade quilt, his skin is like cicada wings, almost transparent, and his texture and veins are all clear and refreshing." It seems that it is due to acclimatization.  ." Tang Xing said.  His tone was very calm, as if he was not talking about the condition of Shang Zhuguo.  It seemed that the old man hated Zhu Xu's practice of concealing his illness, and even developed hatred for Zhu Xu.  But this is normal.  From the eighteenth year of Eastern Yuan Dynasty to the present, Da Zhao spent a full five years and expended countless manpower and material resources to achieve the current situation in Yanshan.  But Zhu Xu clearly couldn't bear the burden of being an admiral, yet he kept his illness secret from the court. This was no longer an ordinary dereliction of duty!  Fortunately, nothing happened to Yanshan, otherwise Tang Xingtou would not be able to spare him!

    Shang Cheng¡¯s face was ashen and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from speaking.  But he couldn't suppress the flames that were raging in his heart at all, and a terrifyingly low voice came out of his throat: "What are you going to do?"

    He has always respected Tang Xing.  This is not only because Tang Xing is the elder, but also because of Tang Xing's humiliation and hard work.  However, he has forgotten all this now.  He is now asking the prime minister as a Shangzhuguo: Faced with such a situation, what are the prime minister and his wife going to do with Yanshan?  If the Tujiec people suddenly attacked now, without the command and control of the admiral Zhu Xu, how would the situation develop?

    "Zhu Xu can no longer stay in Yanshan."

    Shang Cheng said nothing with a sullen face.  He doesn't care about Zhu Xu's life or death!  He just wants Yanshan Wei to be safe!  He must also ensure the thoroughness of Yanshan Guard!

    Tang Xing also felt the pressure brought by Shang Cheng's silence.  He carefully said every word: "The Chi Shu from Yanzhou Censor arrived in the evening the day before yesterday, and it has not been entered yet." He rolled his eyelids and stared at Shang Cheng.

    Shang Cheng knew very well what this meant, which meant that very few people knew the news, so few that even Zeng Ao, the deputy prime minister who also served as Minister of War, did not know.  Moreover, according to the analysis of the news sent back by Yanzhou Yushi, Zhu Xu not only sealed off his physical condition from the imperial court, but also did not disclose the slightest bit to Yan Gu and others. Yan Gu is still kept in the dark and thought Zhu Xu  The reason for the delay in opening up the situation in Yanshan is because Yanshan's civil and military forces did not buy it.  But so what?  Fire can't be contained in paper. Sooner or later, things about Zhuxu will be spread and people will know about it!

    "Prime Minister Zhang and I," Tang Xing stared at Shang Cheng and said slowly, "Prime Minister Zhang and I, we all want to ask you, after all the prefaces, who is more suitable to be the admiral of Yanshan? It's Zhang Shao,  Or Ximen Sheng?"

    "Zhang Shao!" Shang Cheng said without hesitation.  The qualifications and achievements of the two men are almost the same, but Zhang Shao is the chief official of the Yanshan Guards, and his position is higher than that of Ximen Sheng, so there is no reason to promote Ximen Sheng beyond his rank; this is one of them.  Secondly, Zhang Shao has been in Yanshan for seven years and is familiar with everyone. He also has a good relationship with civil servants such as Lu Ji and Di Xu, so he will naturally have more advantages as an admiral. Thirdly, Zhang Shao's ability is better than Ximen.  The above-this point is particularly critical.  Although Zhang Shao and Ximen Sheng are too stable in the military and lack some adventurous spirit, they cannot be said to be the best candidates. However, the Yanshan Guards have missed the opportunity to completely defeat the King of Donglu Valley, and they can only hide their weakness in the next few years.  It's done.  It's a pity that Shao Chuan is good at attacking and defending, but this bastard is illiterate. If he wants to become an admiral, he will have to wait until the next life

    "I understand." Tang Xing said, "I will discuss it with Prime Minister Zhang later."

    He didn¡¯t say whether Zhang Shao could do it or not, but Shang Cheng understood that it was inevitable that Zhu Xu would leave Yanshan, and it was inevitable for Zhang Shao to take over as the admiral of Yanshan.
