However, he said that after a few days of court meeting, Shu Hui sat in the high hall by himself without shaking his body and without the help of eunuchs, and he was able to handle the reports of the ministers well.The ministers were very surprised to see that his eyes and ears were clear and he was no longer drowsy.After everyone had finished their work, Shu Hui revealed the arrangement for Chu Qianli and Shu Yin.The ministers were shocked, Zhen Sibo didn't wait to explain the reason, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, sending General Chu to Nanbin to quell the chaos is too overkill, and the second prince has no experience in marching and fighting before, not to mention his high status, so I'm afraid it's not suitable." Go to lead troops before the battle." Shu Hui glanced at him and said, "If we only want to maintain the local order in Nanbi, we really only need to send a few teams of soldiers. The influx into Nanbin at the same time was not accidental, but someone secretly organized it, and although there has not been a large-scale riot, if we let it go on, it may be difficult to clean up the mess, so General Chu goes to Nanbin without delay." Looking at Shu again. The lead said, "It's time for the second prince to go out and practice. The prime minister just said that his status is noble and it is not suitable to lead troops. Has the prime minister forgotten who led the army more than 20 years ago and fought against the general Dong Qu for several months? " Zhen Sibo was startled, Fang bowed his hands to apologize, "I was confused for a while, please forgive me, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he turned his head and winked at Shu Rong.Shu Rong looked left and right, then glanced at Shu Yin, and saw that his eyes were like torches, staring at him, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Father, my son, please order to go to battle with Wang Di to kill the enemy." So, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked with a frown, "You said you're going to lead troops before the battle?" Shu Rong said without squinting, with a firm voice, "My son had this intention a long time ago, but I just didn't want to worry about my father. Dare to ask for it. However, if a person is always in the best place, he will be weak and have no ambition. Since the father and king also have this intention, I would like to go out with my brother to experience it." Zhen Sibo hurriedly said, "The eldest son of the king has great ambitions. Blessings to the subjects of the Yue Kingdom!" All the courtiers echoed.Shu Hui had no choice but to agree to Shu Rong's request.

Shu Yin was not sure what Shu Rong would do before, so his heart hung on for a few days. Now that he got the result, he felt a sense of fearlessness as if the boat had reached the bridge head naturally.So he loosened his fist, smiled at Shu Rong, and said, "If Brother Wang fights side by side, Yue Kingdom will definitely win this battle." Shu Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at him silently.

Only to hear Zhen Sibo say again, "There are two incompetent guards in the minister's house, their martial arts are not bad, and they are also loyal to the master. I would like to send these two to accompany the two princes to protect the prince's safety." Shu Hui nodded. , said, "I think it's Zhu Xiu and Yang Shi." Zhen Sibo said, "It's these two. Your majesty is so generous and benevolent that he even remembers the humble guards. I thank you for them." Shu Yin listened When he was busy, he also stepped forward and said, "Father, my son also wants to recommend someone to go with me." Shu Hui asked, "Who do you want to recommend?" Call Hu Zhan, he is a warrior, and now he is working under my minister's family, this man is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is also loyal to the Lord, I hope that this man can go with him for protection." Zhen Sibo had no expression on his face when he heard this, and he did not object Do not agree.Shu Hui thought about it, and then said, "I have some impressions of this person, since you recommended him, then I will agree." Shu Rong twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered.

It is said that there is a Du family in Qifang, who is a well-known wealthy businessman in the local area. His grandparents sold private salt in the early years and made a lot of money. Later, as they got older, they didn't want to live a life of hiding their heads and showing their tails, so they invested the money they earned in their business. After leaving the silk and satin village, the Du family has transformed into a serious businessman in the past few decades.His son, Du Xiuguang, is ignorant and incompetent, relying on his family's money to make troubles everywhere, he usually takes four or five young men to roam the streets, eating and drinking, and when he sees anyone who doesn't like him, he can't help but beat him up. A beautiful girl in the middle was even coaxed and forced to marry back home, and now she has a sixth wife.Besides, there is an ordinary family on the other side, and their daughter Lingni is 15 years old this year.Lingni's father died early, and now the mother and daughter earn a living by doing needlework for others.That day, Ling Ni went to the street to buy cloth for her mother, and she went to the shop opened by Du's family.This girl's fate was not going well, and she was met by Du Xiuguang. When Du Xiuguang saw Lingni, his eyes became straight, and he didn't go out from the shop, just waiting for Lingni to finish buying the cloth.Lingni didn't know that this person was a villain, so he smiled at him when he left.This made Du Xiuguang so obsessed that he asked the matchmaker to bring gifts to Lingni's house to talk about marriage in the afternoon of the same day.Lingni's mother knew Du Xiuguang's bad comments all along, so she refused because her daughter was still young and didn't think about marriage.The matchmaker went back and said it, but Du Xiuguang was annoyed, and shouted, "I want to toast and not eat fine wine!" The next day, he personally led the sedan chair and ten young servants, and when they arrived at Lingni's house, they said nothing. Then he grabbed it, stuffed it into the sedan chair and carried it away.Lingni's mother cried and made a fuss, and the neighbors were also angry, but no one dared to offend the Du family.

I don't know who came up with the idea to teach the woman to ask someone to write a letter and hand it over to the prime minister's mansion.But what is Zhen Sibo's status, is it that a commoner will see him whenever he wants, so the woman waited for three days outside the Prime Minister's mansion, and finally waited for Zhen Sibo's sedan chair to come back from the palace.So he cried and knelt and climbed up, and Yang Shi who was accompanying him hurriedly pulled her away before waiting for her to get close.Seeing that she was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the woman kowtowed to Yang Shi dozens of times, and told how her little daughter was kidnapped with tears in her nose.Yang Shi stood with his chest folded, and didn't answer when she finished speaking.Seeing this, the woman tremblingly took out a linen money bag from her bosom, held it together with the pleading paper, and held it up in front of Yang Shi.Yang Shi was expressionless, at this moment he immediately turned his head to look around, quickly collected the money bag and pleadings, and said to the woman, "You don't need to alarm the Prime Minister for such a small matter, I will just go to Du's mansion for a while." Just put the money bag in the sleeve.

Yang Shi accepted the woman's petition and went to Du's mansion on a free day.As soon as the people inside heard that they were from the prime minister's mansion, they immediately offered hospitality.Yang Shi didn't talk about the reason first, he would receive the tea when he served the tea, and sit down when he invited the banquet.When it was about time, he took out the certificate from his sleeve and handed it to Du Xiuguang. Du Xiuguang panicked when he saw it, and said that he and Lingni were in love and did not marry by force. Seal the silver.Xiu Guang took Yang Shi's arm and stuffed it into his embrace.When Yang Shi touched it, it was really thick, at least it cost a hundred taels, so he said, "It's inevitable that the woman will go to the prime minister's house to play wild again, and my brother will have to take care of it in the future." Xiu Guanglian nodded.After Yang Shi left, he asked a group of rascals to smash up the woman's house and burn down another hut.The woman had no house to live in, and nowhere to turn for help, and she died of depression in a few days.Poor Ling Niguan never saw his mother for the last time in Haofu.

That day Yang Shi was going to the streets to buy things for the Autumn Queen. Coincidentally, he met Hu Zhan in the blacksmith's shop. Hu Zhan nodded when he saw him.Seeing that he had picked out a large bronze ring knife, Yang Shi said, "Brother Hu, did he forget that we are going to a battlefield?" Hu Zhan asked puzzled, "I don't know how to say this?" He weighed the big knife with his hand and said, "This knife is at least twenty catties. If it is only used for fighting in the arena, brothers can use this knife to scare away a group of people immediately, but it may not be effective in the battlefield. Let's talk about fighting against the enemy. One person has to deal with a hundred and 20 people, even if the brothers have amazing arm strength, I am afraid that this knife will become exhausting after a few days." He said, picking up a short, thin, white-edged knife next to him, and said to Hu Zhan, "This knife is light and sharp. It is suitable for carrying around, and it is the most suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield. Brother Hu, why don’t you choose this knife?” Hu Zhanna waved it in his hand a few times, and saw the blade flashing white light, blowing the wind, it is really better than the big ring knife that he picked just now Putting hands together, he said, "Thank you, Brother Yang, for your suggestion, I will buy this knife." The two of them chose again in the shop, and discussed their knowledge about swords, and finally Hu Zhan picked two swords and one knife , Yang Shi chose a knife and a sword.After paying the money, the two went out and walked to a restaurant. Hu Zhan suddenly said, "It's already noon, we might as well have lunch before going back." Yang Shi looked up at the sun and said, "It's still a few hours away from noon. After an hour, I think it’s better to change it to another day.” Hu Zhan quickly stepped forward to block the way, and said with a smile, “Brother Yang’s advice on the sword just now has benefited me a lot, so I’ll let him play host to this meal, I don’t know. Brother Yang, can you show me your face?" Yang Shi glanced at the restaurant, snorted lightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I'd rather obey my orders than respect that brother."

Hu occupied Yang Shi and stopped at the door of a Yage Pavilion on the second floor. Yang Shi looked at him and pushed the door open.I saw Shu Yin sitting alone inside, holding a wine glass and drinking leisurely.Yang Shi was not surprised, he just unloaded his weapon and knelt down to bow down, "See the second prince." Shu led, "Guard Yang, please get up." Then he asked him to sit down at the table.Hu Zhan closed the door and stood beside Shu Yin.Yang Shi sat without drinking or eating food, waited for a while to see Shu Yin for questioning, and said, "I don't know why the second prince is looking for a villain this time?" After speaking, he looked up at Hu Zhan again.Hu Zhan raised his head and chest, looking forward.Shu Yin filled himself with wine, sighed, and said, "I don't know if Guard Yang has anything to do with the Du family in the silk and satin village?" The family is a wealthy businessman from his side, and he has business dealings with the Prime Minister, but the villain himself has nothing to do with it." Shu Yin didn't look at him just holding the wine glass, and nodded when he heard this, "I think it's the same. If you are loyal, you will never do anything that damages the prime minister's reputation." Yang Shi broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, and did not dare to ask what was going on.Shu Yin tapped on the table lightly and told him to sit down, "Guard Yang doesn't need to be polite. I also heard rumors that Guard Yang took money to kill and covered up the fact that the Du family married a civilian girl. Just listen to the wind in your ears, and don't care." He raised his wine glass to Yang Shi, and Yang Shi hurriedly saluted with wine.The two drank three cups in a row, and Shu Yincai said, "In addition to clarifying this matter, Guard Yang is invited to come here today, and there is one more thing that Guard Yang needs to help with." Yang Shi said, "The second prince has something for the villain to do, and he only needs to give an order. "Shu Yin laughed and said, "But you are from the prime minister's mansion after all. If I send you rashly, the prime minister may find out that he will be unhappy." Yang Shi said, "The matter of the second prince is the prime minister's matter. Being able to share worries for the second prince will only praise the villain." Shu Yin laughed.Hu Zhan immediately took out a small square box from his arms and handed it to Shu Yin.Shu Yin put it in front of Yang Shi.Yang Shi saw that he was staring at him, so he opened it carefully, and after opening a crack, he immediately snapped the lid on, and knelt down in fright.Shu Yin put a small piece of eggplant in his mouth, chewed and said, "You're going to kneel down and refuse before I tell you?" Yang Shi lowered his head and said, "Don't dare." Shu Yin said, "After a month The expedition must be extremely dangerous, so I want you to go to the folks to select a few warriors for me, and after a while, I will organize them into an army and go out with me, can you agree to this?" Yang Shi frowned. Said, "This... If you don't report to the Ministry of War and take the warriors secretly to go out, I'm afraid..." Shu Yin waved his hands and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will bear all the consequences. It's just that this is a violation of the law after all. Military regulations, so you just do what you do and don't talk to others." Yang Shi didn't answer, just looked at Hu Zhan.Shu Yin followed his gaze to look at Hu Zhan, and said, "Hu Zhan has other things to do, and he's not as smart as you, so I asked you to help." Yang Shi said again, "Don't dare " When Shu introduced him to Gu Zuo, he became impatient, bit his lip and clicked his tongue, and said, "What? Just now you said that I only need to order everything, did you just say it nicely? If Guard Yang really doesn't want to I won't force you to help me with this, but I want to have a good talk with my father about the Du Mansion." Yang Shi heard this, and said repeatedly, "Yes, villain... I promise, promise to help you. The second prince chooses warriors." Shu Yinyan looked elsewhere and sneered.

It is said that after Yang Shi selected warriors for Shuyin, he then became a yard supervisor for him, and was later called to help Hu Zhan handle the affairs of the government, and was ordered to help Shuyin prepare his luggage for the expedition... In short, everything was done One more thing, after everything was done, Shu Yin generously gave him a box of gold.So slowly Yang Shi also changed from being forced to be bought to being bought voluntarily.
