Father is on top, I was wrong

Since the establishment of the Forbidden Army by the first emperor, they have been specially trained elites. If they can stand out from each group, their own qualities are already very good.Therefore, in the selection of these people, Wen Wujue no longer sticks to the final victory or defeat in terms of force.

He stared intently at the teenagers who were competing in pairs on the ring, and the rest of the Forbidden Army who did not enter the final competition sat on the ground in groups of three or four, bursting into cheers from time to time.

Wen Wujue was noncommittal, just observing carefully.

After the competition was over, Xu Ding put down the teacup and asked, "Which kid does the prime minister think is competent?"

Looking at the ten people standing in a row not far away, Wen Wujue pondered for a moment, and pointed to one of them.

"The third one from the left, what's his name?"

Xu Ding was taken aback for a moment, a little surprised, then waved his hand, "Shen Xian, come here."

The young man called Shen Xian hesitated for a moment, apparently in disbelief, but he still walked over.

"Gao Shenxian, a low-ranking official, has met the prime minister."

A quiet young man with a gentle and handsome appearance. In terms of force, he is not the best among these people, but in terms of agility and ingenuity, he is the most flexible one.

And what's rare is that he has a very stable mentality. Even if he is suppressed by his opponent and is at a disadvantage, he is still calm and calm, often seeing the right time and making a move.

Wen Wujue asked warmly: "Do you know what your purpose is for this competition?"

"I know, to select the food security officer." Gao Chenxian replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"If you are asked to escort the food and grass in southern Xinjiang this time, and issue a military order, if you cannot complete the task of escorting the food, you will be executed. Are you willing?"

Wen Wujue observed the expression on his face, as long as he showed a little timidity, he would stop thinking about this person.

Xu Ding was noncommittal, he had never heard of a military order being issued to escort grain and grass.

I saw Gao Shenxian took a step back, cupped his hands and said: "The humble job is here, and the food is here."

Wen Wujue couldn't help clapping his hands, and said with a smile, "Okay, here comes the military order."

The clerk brought up the general order, and Gao Shenxian signed his name with a pen and stamped his handprint without changing his face.

For him, after waiting for so long, he finally had a chance to show off his ambitions, even if he risked his life?

Xu Ding had never worked closely with Wen Wujue, he only knew that he was highly valued by the late emperor, and then he also had the responsibility of assisting the emperor, he had only heard about his talent, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

From today's perspective, he is indeed not simple, at least he has a vicious vision in judging people.

Gao Chenxian is a rising star that he has always been optimistic about. He deliberately suppresses and trains him, and also wants to let the dusty pearl be able to hide his strength and bide his time. He never thought that he would be discovered so soon.

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, there was a scream in the sky. Several people looked up and saw a bird of prey that had been shot straight down, and the bloody arrow plunged into the soil. Ling still vibrated endlessly, which shows how powerful it is.

What is even more shocking is that this is a rare gray falcon in the cold winter. The gray falcon is short in body, fierce in temperament, quick in response and extremely fast in flight, making it difficult to hunt.

Wen Wujue smiled and said, "Is Commander Xu training? This archery man must have amazing arm strength and excellent eyesight. I want to get to know this young general well."

Xu Ding was stunned for a moment. He asked everyone to rest and take a bath today, and there was no military training.

Immediately he stood up, "Prime Minister, sit down for a while, I will go and have a look."

Wen Wujue waved his hand, "Okay, I'm also going to talk to Shen Xian about grain transportation."

Xu Ding walked through a large tent of the Forbidden Army camp, and before he had walked more than a hundred steps, he saw a group of people galloping out of the dense forest.

The young man in the lead was furious in fresh clothes, with a cold light on his bow and arrows behind his shoulders, full of spirits.

He only heard him laugh loudly: "Commander Xu, I finally hunted a gray falcon today!"

Xu Ding stood still on the spot, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Suddenly, Xiao Gui waved his hand and threw it, several two-finger-thick objects that couldn't be seen came from the sky, Xu Ding hurriedly reached out to stop one, "What is this?"

"Wild ginseng."

Xiao Gui came to Xu Ding, pulled the rein to rein in the horse, and turned over neatly.

"Look at the root, it should be hundreds of years old, take it back to make up for the old lady."

Xu Ding stretched out his hand to wipe off the wrapped soil, revealing a section of snow-white ginseng body with extremely deep lines and a small bump on the top, which is commonly called "pearl top" by the folks, and it really is the best wild ginseng .

Xu Ding said with a smile: "The emperor picked wild ginseng last time, did you explain it to the prime minister?"

Xiao Gui paused for a moment while stroking Xue Ju's bearded hand, and suddenly remembered that he had washed the wild ginseng he had dug up in the imperial hospital to make ginseng medicine, and gave it to Wen Wujue, but he was reprimanded sharply for "such a search for people's fat and people's ointment" , It is not what Mingjun did".

His face darkened, "I am the emperor, why should I explain it to a courtier?"

Xu Ding saw that he couldn't hide the gloomy look between his eyebrows, and he knew the discord between him and Wen Wujue, so he had no choice but to avoid talking about it.

"The emperor's wild ginseng was dug in the Longtan area, right? Winter is approaching, the emperor should not go in again."

The so-called Longtan area is the deepest place in a lush forest behind the mountain. It gathers fierce beasts and poisonous snakes, and it is full of miasma. It is easy to be poisoned and lose its way. Therefore, no one has set foot here, and it has become an excellent place to nourish heavenly talents and spirits. There are many rare medicinal materials such as wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.

As winter approached, the miasma became thicker and accidents occurred frequently. Even some profit-seeking businessmen dared not take the risk to step in easily.

Xiao Gui grinned, "What kind of dragon's pond and tiger's lair, I never believe such nonsense."

Xu Ding disagreed, "The emperor is the master of the world, and safety should be the most important thing."

Xiao Gui waved his hand, "You don't want to imitate that dead face..."

He paused suddenly, his cold and contemptuous smile appeared in his mind, he stopped the words that came to his lips, and said in a sullen voice for a long time: "Nagging me like that Wen?"

Xu Ding was taken aback, and had no choice but to say: "The prime minister is an upright minister, he is doing it for the good of the emperor, and so is the last general."

Xiao Gui sneered: "He is good for me? He doesn't let me ride and shoot, doesn't let me lead the army, and forces me to read sage books every day. He wants to make me a nerd so I can control him."

"The prime minister is worried about the emperor's safety. After all, the first emperor is only from the emperor's lineage, and the emperor has not yet had any heirs. For the sake of the community, the honor of Wancheng should also take safety as the most important thing."

"Why are you even saying that now?"

Xiao Gui took off the quiver on his back with a look of impatience.

Safety is the most important thing, you can't ride and shoot, you can't lead the army, you can't participate in the war, and you should be a high-ranking emperor.

The imperial palace is a huge gold-encrusted cage, which locks his precious canary. When the time is ripe, he will multiply and reproduce, complete the important task of the emperor, and be a lifelong matchmaker.

Why can't he fight immediately like the first emperor?Expansion of territory?Why does he have to read those dull and dull sage books in the palace every day?

Xu Ding saw that his face was not hesitant, and he couldn't listen at all. He was thinking about how to speak, but he heard a gentle voice from behind the big tent.

"Commander Xu, why don't you let me meet this marksman?"

Xu Ding was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Wen Wujue was also in the camp, he turned to look at Xiao Gui.

Xiao Gui was also stunned, he wanted to hide the quiver subconsciously, but his hand stopped, why should he hide it?Just because that person doesn't like him riding and shooting?

He simply took off the bow and played with it in his hand.

Xu Ding didn't have time to think about it, and saw a person coming out from behind the large tent, it was Wen Wujue, who was holding the gray falcon with arrows in his hand, this bird of prey was dying.

Seeing the two of them, Wen Wujue was also slightly taken aback, and stopped in his tracks.

Xu Ding didn't change his expression, he cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, the gray falcon was shot by the emperor."

Xiao Gui stared at Wen Wujue playfully, wanting to see how he would react.

Don't let him ride and shoot?He just wanted to show it to him, and to be the best.

Wen Wujue looked at the gray falcon in his hand, there was a small imprint on the top of the feathered arrow, vaguely the word "Xiao", obviously it was a copper arrow for imperial use.

He was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this dude to have such abilities.

"So it was the emperor who hunted it." He touched the spine of the arrow, and said lightly: "Since the emperor has such riding and shooting skills, why didn't he consider joining the army to fight? But he spends his youth in vain by hunting in this back mountain every day?"

Xiao Gui was taken aback for a moment, his brows seemed to be knotted, and he didn't understand his inconsistent attitude.

Xu Ding was also stunned. Didn't Wen Wujue disagree with the emperor's personal conquest?

He thought about Xiao Gui coming to hang out in the back mountain from time to time, scolding Wen Wujue in front of him every now and then, and it didn't look like he was lying.

Did Wen Wujue change his mind?

Wen Wujue didn't notice the expressions of the two, and continued: "Nowadays, the country is weak and poor, and the border is surrounded by powerful enemies. It is worrying about the lack of morale. If the emperor personally marches, it will definitely boost morale."

Xiao Gui didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or was speaking ironically in a hurry, he had an expression that hadn't changed for thousands of years, only ghosts could see the clue.

He lazily tossed the quiver aside, and said, "I'm happy to spend time here, isn't there still a prime minister in state affairs? I don't need me either."

Xu Ding lowered his eyes helplessly, Xiao Gui's dog temper is really asking for trouble.

Wen Wujue smiled lightly, also, can this kind of dandy endure the hardship of fighting on the battlefield?

He handed the gray falcon over, "Your Majesty, do as you please."

Xiao Gui looked at him uncertainly, maybe it was because of the sunlight, his normally pale face seemed to be coated with a layer of jade, so transparent that the blue veins under his thin skin could almost be seen.

Xiao Gui took Gray Falcon, got on the horse without saying a word, grabbed the horse's belly, and galloped away.

Wen Wujue shook his head, and was about to leave as well.

Xu Ding walked up to him, walked out of the heavy tent together with him, and came to the school grounds.

The two were speechless for a while.

Xu Ding was considering whether to tell Wen Wujue that Xiao Gui actually wanted to fight in the killing field even in his dreams?But he was not sure what Wen Wujue's attitude was, after all, he never let the emperor take risks.

He privately thought that Wen Wujue was indeed an impeccable and upright minister, but he might not be a flexible emperor's teacher.

But he happened to be both the father of the prime minister and the emperor's teacher. He controlled the government and said what he said. It's no wonder that the old-fashioned and upright confronted the unruly and unruly.

While Xu Ding was speculating on Wen Wujue, Wen Wujue was also speculating on the relationship between Xu Ding and Xiao Gui.

Judging from the situation just now, the two are not as unfamiliar as the monarch and his ministers, but are very familiar with each other.

Perhaps Xiao Gui often came to the back mountain to hunt, so the two had more contact.

There are not many ministers in the Manchu Dynasty who support Xiao Gui, but those people are dispensable.The key is this Xu Ding who holds the military power of the Imperial Army, what is his attitude towards Xiao Gui?

If Wen Wujue wants to abolish Xiao Gui, Xu Ding's support can be said to be decisive, after all, there is no army near the capital that can compete with the forbidden army.

Wen Wujue caressed the dark lines on the sleeve with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed inwardly.

Forget it, he has not yet decided whether to abolish Xiao Gui, and then observe and see, if he is obedient, it is not impossible for him to let him stay on the throne.
