Chapter 751 Li Rusong Made a Decision

Xiao Ruxun and others arrived in the capital in the evening, and after eating the dust-cleaning banquet, night had already fallen, and the rest of the program was to rest.

Take a good night's rest tonight, and you can continue to rest for another day tomorrow.

The officers and soldiers who needed to participate in the prisoner presenting ceremony would have special officials sent by the imperial court to give them lessons. Naturally, Xiao Ruxun would also attend classes, listening to the officials of the Ministry of Rites explaining some necessary etiquette in the prisoner presenting ceremony, and then doing some rehearsals.

After all, this is a major national event, and it represents the face of the country and the emperor. No one is unwilling to do this matter beautifully. Of course, it must be rehearsed in advance, so this evening is just a simple banquet to end, everyone Rest separately.

Xiao Daheng said goodbye to Xiao Ruxun with a smile on his face, and invited Xiao Ruxun to his house after the prisoner dedication ceremony. He still had a lot of things he wanted to ask Xiao Ruxun for advice, Xiao Ruxun nodded and agreed with a smile on his face.

After sending Xiao Daheng away, Xiao Ruxun returned to his tent. At this moment, Dong Yiyuan, Chai Guozhu, Li Rusong and other major generals were all waiting for Xiao Ruxun in the tent.

Xiao Ruxun shook her head silently.

"The imperial court just wants to pass by, and is not interested in taking this opportunity to resume the strategic initiative. They want to enjoy ten years of stability in peace and stability. As for ten years later... many of them should have resigned.

As for the prisoner presentation ceremony this time, it was just a formality. After that, what should happen will be what it should be, and there will be no change. Nine sides will still be nine sides, and the court will still be the court. "

The faces of the generals became gloomy.

"Oh! Such a good opportunity!"

Li Rusong punched his leg fiercely: "Can't the court see that if they take the opportunity to advance on those important traffic routes, they can immediately turn passive into active. Why does Nine Sides have to be beaten every year?"

"I see, the imperial court doesn't want to give us so much money and so many soldiers!"

Li Rumei pouted.

"That's right! Those civil servants only want to eat meat for themselves, and they don't even want to give us a sip of soup, for fear that we will take their place when we get up! It's been like this for so many years! Isn't my father arranged like this back then?"

Li Rubai said dissatisfied.

Dong Yiyuan looked at Xiao Ruxun with some worry.

"Governor, Fang Futai said before that this risky attack is a dangerous one. Since ancient times, there has been no general in the imperial court who is not afraid of leading troops abroad. Even if the governor is a civil servant, the governor will be restrained, let alone us warriors. After the prisoner offering ceremony, we will all be suppressed more severely."

Chai Guozhu is more direct.

"It's better to say that the governor is the first to bear the brunt, and then I wait. Isn't that the same with the gang of sour literati? When they see people with outstanding achievements, they will be suppressed. At the beginning, Zeng Mi was even beheaded because of this. Wang Shouren was imprisoned for the rest of his life." Local people are not allowed to enter the capital, even literati are like this, let alone us and other warriors?"

Wang Hui looked at Xiao Ruxun.

"Shiro, I don't know what Shibutang and Songbutang think?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Ruxun together, and immediately remembered that Xiao Ruxun had a backer in the court. Shi Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War, appreciated Xiao Ruxun, and supported him.

Xiao Ruxun's complexion was not good.

"I'll go to Xinshibutang and Songbutang to inquire about it, but I don't dare to say that it will be feasible. Now Shen has always been in power. According to Mr. Fang, Shen has always been a person who likes power and is strong in dealing with things. Zhao Shoufu is very different, such a cabinet will inevitably usurp the authority of the six ministries, and it is still a question whether Shi Butang and Song Butang can speak."

All the generals were silent.

It was getting late, Xiao Ruxun asked the generals to go back to rest, and to continue discussing something tomorrow. After the generals left, Xiao Ruxun called Wang Hui back and took out two of his own letters.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will send someone to deliver these two letters to Song Butang and Shi Butang, and ask them to reply as soon as possible."

Wang Hui took the two letters and nodded to express his understanding.

After the three Li Rusong brothers left Xiao Ruxun's handsome tent, they came to Li Rusong's tent together. The three brothers made great contributions together, and they were expected to be knighted. It was originally something to be happy about, but now that Xiao Ruxun said this, they suddenly felt that they had a bright future. dim.

"Brother, the imperial court doesn't want us to let go of our hands and feet to fight at all. They just want to muddle along. From my point of view, if Governor Xiao hadn't insisted this time, we wouldn't even be able to fight Guihua City!"

Li Rumei was very dissatisfied and complained to her elder brother.

Li Rubai was also dissatisfied.

"Governor Xiao is right. What's the use of a small-scale attack? Treat the symptoms but not the root cause. After fighting this and that, there will never be a rest. Dad has won more than ten battles in his life, but they are all small victories. In the end, he is just a small victory." count.

Governor Xiao won only a few victories, but beheaded tens of thousands of people. He has long been a prince of the state. This time, he may even be promoted to be the Duke of the state. Isn't this a problem?I think it's that group of sour scholars who are afraid of me and other generals! "

"That's it!"

Li Rumei echoed Li Rubai, and then the two brothers looked at their elder brother Li Rusong together.

"Brother?"

Li Rusong sat on the main seat, his face was cloudy and cloudy, his eyes were on the ground, as if he was not listening to them.

"Brother?"

Li Rumei shouted again.

Li Rusong looked up at his two brothers.

"Just now, I suddenly remembered that when I was at Zijing Pass, my father once said a word to me."

The two brothers looked at Li Rusong in confusion.

"Father told me that he had a premonition that something big was about to happen, and he wanted me to return to Liaodong as soon as possible after this battle, to leave the capital, and not to be entangled in the capital, otherwise, it would cause trouble."

Li Rumei and Li Rubai looked at each other in surprise.

"Brother, what do you mean..."

"I mean, don't you notice something's wrong?"

Li Rusong said softly: "Isn't the imperial court treating me too generously when I return this time? It's so generous that I feel flattered. This makes me very uneasy. Thinking of my father's warning before returning to Liaodong, I feel that the capital will Something big happened."

Li Rubai hurriedly asked: "Brother, could something happen to Governor Xiao?"

Li Rusong shook his head.

"I don't know, I really don't know, but I believe in my father. My father spent half his life on the battlefield, half his life in the ups and downs of the officialdom, and served three generations of emperors. Of course, he is more accurate than us in seeing things. There is no room for me not to believe what my father said."

"What do you mean brother?"

Li Rumei asked.

"After the captive offering ceremony and award ceremony, we will invite you back immediately without delay. We must leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely not be a good thing for you, my brother and the Li family."

Li Rumei and Li Rubai looked at each other, and then asked: "Then, what do you plan to say to Governor Xiao?"

Li Rusong was silent for a while.

His feelings for Xiao Ruxun are quite complicated, from the initial anger and resentment to the current admiration and even a little awe, and the previous experience of talking openly all night, which made all kinds of feelings surround him and made him say Unclear feeling.

"Say hello to Governor Xiao before leaving, it can be regarded as the friendship between us to fight together. My Li family will not be a heartless person or do anything."

Li Rusong made a decision that was not considered a decision, a decision that even he himself did not quite understand.
