Chapter 147

Speaking of this, sikochang carefully looked up at the emperor and said: "the battlefield is dangerous. Shao Moli has no experience in combat. Does your majesty really want to appoint him as deputy general? What's more, general Shao has such a son at his knees. If something happens to him on the battlefield, your majesty, general Shao... "

Sitting on the Dragon chair, the emperor had a dignified face and a sense of control over the overall situation. He waved his hand. The emperor said to sikochang, "the prime minister is worried too much. I see that Shao Moli is a talented general. I want to promote him, but he has a leisurely temper. I can't find any suitable reason for him at the moment. However, it's a good opportunity for me to appoint him as the deputy general. I'm sorry I can just take this opportunity to give him a try. If his performance really conforms to my eyes, then I can naturally help him. "

After hearing this, sikochang nodded thoughtfully, but then frowned again, looking at the emperor with a look of desire to speak and stop. The emperor of China took a cup of tea from the little eunuch next to him, lifted the lid and gently brushed the dense heat with the lid. Through the misty fog, the emperor of China slightly raised his eyes to sikochang: "prime minister, I know what you want to say. You can rest assured that Shao Moli will never have an accident. He is good at martial arts, brave and resourceful, even the people around him I'm afraid the skills of some of my subordinates are the same as those of my former bodyguards. Besides, general Shao is the chief General on this trip. Shao Moli will go out with general Shao. General Shao will protect him. Why do you have to worry about it? "

"The emperor is wise and thinks everything. I'm ashamed..." Sikochang first flattered the emperor of China, then looked at the emperor's face secretly, hesitated and said: "although the emperor has a good idea, in my humble opinion, should the emperor say hello to general Shao first? If general Shao doesn't understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, he will fight with him instead, and general Shao is the chief General of this expedition, I'm afraid... "

After a pause, the emperor lowered his head and took a few sips of tea. Then he continued: "prime minister, you say that, but you look down on general Shao. General Shao has gone on a military journey all his life. For the sake of China's peace and security, he has worked hard all his life. But now he is old, although he is still warm-blooded, he has more than enough heart He once told me that his greatest regret in this life is that he has not been able to see the complete submission of the frontier in his lifetime, so he has the heart to let Shao Moli fulfill his unfulfilled wish for him. "

Then the emperor took a look at sikochang standing below and sighed: "prime minister, I'll tell you the truth. It's not my own arbitrariness to send Shao Moli to be the deputy general. General Shao had been to Shao Moli before me intentionally or unintentionally. Although he didn't say it clearly, I think he only wanted Shao Moli to go to the battlefield to experience, On the one hand, general Shao and I have come to an agreement. Since general Shao himself has never worried about Shao Moli's dangerous situation, general Shao still has full confidence in his son. In this case, prime minister, why do you care for others?

Sikou Chang was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "what the emperor said is reasonable." However, he frowned and murmured, "general Shao asked for his son's life himself?

The emperor of China, sitting on the Dragon chair, coughed softly when he saw that sikochang was a little absent-minded. He said, "now that the state affairs have been discussed, the candidates for the chief General and Deputy General of the western expedition have been selected. It's almost time to read out the imperial edict in the Imperial Hall tomorrow. Well, it's also a matter of mind for me. General Shao has been successful since he became a horse. Prime minister, I say we're going to fight Now it's time to decorate it. When general Shao returns triumphantly, we can hold a grand celebration banquet for him. "

Seeing the emperor's smiling face, sikochang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "everything is according to the meaning of the emperor. The old minister will arrange it tomorrow. The purchase that should be purchased and the decoration that should be decorated will surely give general Shao a grand celebration banquet."

Sikochang has been in the officialdom for decades. Naturally, he is proficient in the way of being an official. He is able to serve the master at the top and the official at the bottom. And what he said just now, naturally, was to serve the emperor of China comfortably.

Sure enough, the emperor of heaven immediately burst out laughing after hearing what sikochang said. Looking at sikochang, he said, "Ai Qing, you You're so funny. I was just joking. General Shao hasn't gone to war yet. How can we hold a celebration party for him? But you're really Ha ha... "

Sikochang arched his hand and laughed: "I'm old, and I'm confused. I don't know what's going on all the time. I hope the emperor can forgive me..."

"Ai Qing's remark is serious. It's a joke I made with Ai Qing. Ai Qing is upright. How can I blame you?"

After hearing what the emperor said, sikochang seemed to have expected it for a long time. Then he handed over to the emperor and said, "thank you, my Lord."

Huang Du waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite at the moment. Then the emperor looked at sikochang and asked, "now that the business is over, I'm going to watch the performance. Where's prime minister sikochang? Are you here with me to enjoy the graceful dancing, or is there something you have to go back to before you finishSikochang bowed his head and thought for a while, but he said, "I want to accompany the emperor to enjoy a song and dance here. However, everything in the prime minister's family is waiting for me to deal with. The emperor also knows that my wife is not able to give birth to a son. Now I only have a daughter named nianyue. Because there is no man in the family, I'm sorry All the affairs in the government need to ask the old minister for instructions. The old minister has no skills, but there is no way

The emperor of heaven seemed to have known that sikochang would have said this for a long time, so he didn't show anything. He only raised his hand and said, "it's just that. Since Prime Minister sikochang has so many things to do, I won't force you to stay. Otherwise, it's my fault. Go down."

When he heard the emperor say this, sikouchang sighed and bowed his hand to the emperor and said respectfully, "Holy Blessing, the old minister will leave first."

"Ah, prime minister, wait." He was about to turn around, but the emperor stopped sikochang. Sikochang immediately bowed his head and arched his hands and said, "what else can the emperor command?"

The emperor drank a few cups of tea and said slowly, "I just heard you mention nianxi. I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen her in these years. I still remember that she is a playful girl. Now, I don't know what she looks like."
