Abuse reformation

"Your servant please play!"

Seeing five tall and three rough men clasping their fists in front of them, he said: "I would like to lead five thousand elite soldiers to Ningzhou to put down the bandits, and I hope the regent will grant you permission."

Shi Chao was once the deputy general of the Northwest Army, the strongest force in Daliang, and his combat ability is beyond doubt.Situ Xiuyun himself knew this.

only……

Although Shi Chao has high martial arts skills, is brave and good at fighting, but his brain is a bit stubborn, and he is not a material for leading soldiers.

There are few Japanese pirates, but they can beat him to the death of the Liang Weijun, which shows his cunning.Shi Chao's temperament is too straightforward, and he will explode when he is agitated. If he is really put on the battlefield, maybe something will happen.

From an objective point of view, Situ Xiuyun was not very willing to let Shi Chao go.But right now, people are voluntarily asking for Ying. If he refuses directly, he is afraid of losing face, and the trouble will be ugly on the surface.

For a moment, he only felt in a dilemma.

At this moment, Ren Yongchun, the supervisor of ceremonies who was quietly waiting beside the court meeting, winked at Feng Lang.

Feng Lang was stunned at first when he saw this, and then bowed in understanding, "Dudu Shi's loyalty to the country is admirable. It's just that the pirates are cunning and good at water warfare, and Dudu Shi has no experience in water warfare. This..."

Having said that, a distressed look appeared on his face at the right time, "This matter is of great importance, please think twice, Your Highness."

Let Feng Lang say all the things that offend people, and Situ Xiuyun has a step to go down.However, before he answered, Shi Chao on that side was not happy.

"Master Feng, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing the burly man with thick brows staring at him viciously, Feng Lang couldn't help but secretly scolded Ren Yongchun for being immoral and leaving all the blame on him.However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only bite the bullet and continue acting.

After all, it is an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years. I saw him straighten his back and pretend to be a straight minister: "This old man is just telling the truth."

"you!"

Shi Chao was speechless for a moment.

Before he could open his mouth to refute, Feng Lang said: "I want to ask Governor Shi what you mean. Is your reaction trying to say that what the old man just said is deliberately targeting you?"

Shi Chao didn't expect that Feng Lang would pour out all the little things in his heart in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and felt a little ashamed for a while.

But his strong competitive spirit and self-esteem did not allow him to bow his head like this.So, he refused to admit defeat and asked, "Isn't it?"

Shi Chao's words just gave Feng Lang room to play.

He raised his eyelids and said, "Boy, ask yourself, is there a half-truth in what the old man said just now?"

Shi Chao was caught off guard by the other party's sudden question.

I heard him continue: "Is the Japanese pirates cunning and good at water?

"……Yes."

"Shi Dudu, you have never led a navy, is the old man wrong?"

"..."

Seeing that Shi Chao was blocked by him, Feng Lang's voice suddenly rose: "I have been an official for more than [-] years. I dare not say that I have dedicated myself to death, but I have always been conscientious. May I ask what the old man has said all these years?" The same is not for our beam?"

Feng Lang's words completely choked Shi Chao, who was still aggressive before, speechless.

However, Feng Lang seems to be addicted to this play.I saw a bit of sadness on his wrinkled face, "But I never thought that the old man's sincere heart would be treated like this by Shi Dudu. It's really sad. In this case, the old man might as well let go of this Put on a black gauze hat and return home as an official."

Having said that, those smarter people in the court understood Feng Lang's intention at this time.So they all agreed--

"Where is Master Feng? Everyone is watching your words and deeds."

"That's right, you are the minister of our big beam. How can you resign because of a kid's words? This is too shameful."

A group of people said something to each other, and instantly turned the "warrior" who had volunteered to become a small-bellied generation who "measures the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart".

Shi Chao's brain is not fast, and his mouth is not particularly sharp. He will only suffer from boredom when he meets a group of eloquent civil servants.

On the side, Situ Xiuyun, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that the situation was not right, so he made a relief——

"This is a big matter, let me think about it carefully before discussing it later."

After leaving these words, Ren Yongchun immediately retreated with the words.

Seeing that there was no more to this matter, Shi Chao was stunned for a while, a little confused about the situation, and the matter was not finished yet, why did he retreat?

He froze slightly and turned his head to look at the other people around him, only to see Feng Lang, who was still "distressed" before, straightened up very calmly, bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Shi Chao:? ? ?

Why did he feel like he was being cheated?

On the other side, although Situ Xiuyun got some breathing time after the court meeting, he didn't feel much relief in his heart.

Although the matter was temporarily delayed, he knew that this was just a delay.The situation in the south is not optimistic, he must quickly come up with a countermeasure.

Although Shi Chao is not good at strategic formations, he is indeed a good player in actual combat.Looking at the Northwest Army, and even Daliang as a whole, his ability to kill enemies is one of the best.If it is deployed properly, it will be invincible.

If it wasn't for him not being able to leave Liang Jing now, otherwise relying on his tacit understanding with Shi Chao, eradicating those little pirates would not be a problem at all.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but tighten his brows.

According to the memory in his mind, there were no pirates in Daliang until his death in the previous life, and he doesn't know what happened this time.

At this time, it would be great to have someone who is good at strategy and has experience in dealing with rogues to assist.

As an old man in the inner court who has gone through three changes of ownership but still stands tall, Ren Yongchun's level of observation and observation has reached the point of perfection.With just one glance, he knew what the other party was thinking, so he said, "Your Highness is worried about who will be sent to fight the Japanese pirates?"

Hearing this, Situ Xiuyun paused, and subconsciously asked, "Does Companion Ren have any good suggestions?"

Ren Yongchun was waiting for his words.

"If Your Highness is bothered about this matter, this old servant has an idea."

Situ Xiuyun was feeling very troublesome right now, and now hearing what the other party said, he followed his words and asked, "What's your idea, let me hear it?"

"Shi Dudu is brave and good at fighting, but it's a pity that he has never led a navy and lacks experience in fighting bandits. If he is paired with a strategist who is good at strategy and experienced, the two swords will be perfect."

Ren Yongchun's words coincided with Situ Xiuyun's thoughts.He said: "Does Ren Daban have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Seeing Ren Yongchun bowed and saluted, "This old slave thinks it's appropriate to leave this matter to Ye Hongfu."

Ye Hongfu?

Hearing this name, Situ Xiuyun couldn't help being stunned, as if he didn't expect him to give this answer.

To be honest, if the other party hadn't mentioned Ye Hongfu, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.I remember that after the assassination, this Dugong Ye became a lot more low-key.

He also sent someone to investigate him secretly because he felt that something was wrong, but found nothing.The other party does not leave traces, even he can't find any flaws.

With such a meticulous person, it is no wonder that the emperor is willing to send him.

Although he half-approved Ren Yongchun's proposal in his heart, Situ Xiuyun subconsciously asked, "Why did my big companion say that?"

Naturally, Ren Yongchun didn't raise opinions casually.One of his two apprentices was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, and the other was sent to Nanzhili under the implication of Wang Guifei.He didn't believe that these things had nothing to do with Ye Hongfu.

This kid Ye Hongfu is very slippery and insidious, his two apprentices combined are not as good as him.The two idiots thought they were smart enough to trip someone up, but in the end they were played around without knowing it.

Although the apprentice is useless, as a master, he can't sit idly by.He must avenge this revenge.

Although he is in the inner court, he is not ignorant of things outside.Those Japanese pirates in the south are much more vicious than those ordinary rogues. I heard that the local garrison guards have been killed thousands of people. nothing.

and……

Ren Yongchun's downcast eyelids inadvertently slipped a cold smile. He had heard that Shi Chao didn't like Ye Hongfu.If the two of them are allowed to travel together this time, the other party will definitely not disappoint him.

Thinking about it, Ren Yongchun blurted out the draft he had been typing for a long time:

"Ye Hongfu is in charge of the East Factory and inspects the people's sentiments of the border officials. Except for Liang Jingcheng, the other thirteen chief envoys and Southern Zhili have the eyes of the East Factory and Jinyiwei. He must know the situation in the south very well. In addition, he once I have gone to the south many times to do errands, eradicated the demons of the White Lotus Sect and caught the rogues, so I have some experience in dealing with these barbarians."

In addition, Ren Yongchun praised Ye Hongfu again, saying that he is quick-witted and resourceful, and it is perfectly appropriate to entrust this errand to him.

The old eunuch Ren listed the reasons one by one, and finally summed them up in one sentence - sending Ye Hongfu is simply a perfect thing.

At this time, Situ Xiuyun had fully approved Ren Yongchun's proposal in his heart, but there was one thing he didn't quite understand.

He remembered that Ye Hongfu and Ren Daban's two apprentices didn't seem to get along well, but now Ren Daban would recommend this person on his own initiative.It's really strange.

After thinking about it for a while, Situ Xiuyun didn't immediately agree, but only asked him about it.

Seeing that Ren Yongchun immediately knelt down and kowtowed, he said: "You can't avoid enemies with external actions, and you can't avoid sons with internal actions. Now the Japanese pirates in the south are in chaos, and they are willing to abandon personal grievances for the sake of Daliang old slave!"

His words were resounding, and his face was full of righteousness and a clear conscience.Even if he has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, he can't find a single fault on the bright side.

Situ Xiuyun didn't intend to pursue the private affairs between their internal officials, so he didn't ask any more questions after hearing what he said.

In the end, Ren Yongchun's plot to do the opposite was successful.

Shortly after he put forward his suggestion, Situ Xiuyun ordered Shi Chao to lead five thousand elite soldiers to the south to exterminate the Japanese pirates as the general of Pingwa, and Ye Hongfu to lead the Jinyiwei to work together as the supervisor.

The incident happened suddenly, and when the edict was passed to Ye Mansion, the four of them were all stunned.

You must know that they were still talking about the pirate rebellion in Ningzhou with Duke Du this morning, but they never thought that my grandfather would go south to suppress the bandits in the afternoon, and that Shi Chao would still be with him!
