Chapter 137

Sure enough, the emperor's favorite person is Meng Shi. When Lin Xiang and his right counterpart reported Meng Shi's name, the emperor immediately nodded: "Meng Shi is very good."

As for what is good, different people have different opinions.

When the imperial edict was delivered to the government, the whole family was confused and couldn't believe what they heard.

Is their country going to war? Or the manager?

Er

It seems that they have never been to the battlefield. Moreover, they follow the line of literati and celebrities, and they don't know how to lead soldiers to fight.

The first time on the battlefield is the coach, really OK?

As for why the town government, which started with military achievements, took the literati line as its eldest son, it's a simple matter.

At that time, the old Duke held a heavy army and had a high prestige in the army, which was feared by the former Emperor. In order to save the lives of his family, Lin Chujiu's grandfather, the former Guogong, also known as Lin Chujiu's grandfather, took the opportunity to hand over military power.

But this is not enough. In order to completely dispel the suspicion of the old emperor, the old Duke didn't teach his three sons the art of war when he was young. He only taught them to be men of letters. He didn't want them to be promising, he just wanted them to save their lives.

In addition to three sons, the daughters of the two direct relatives did not marry into the imperial family. The direct eldest daughter, Lin Chujiu's mother, was supposed to marry far away at that time, but later, a little accident happened, so she chose the poor son who won the first prize, who is now Lin Xiang.

As for the second daughter, the old Duke also chose a poor family to visit flowers for her, but before he had time to say, the first daughter died, and the second daughter was making a fuss about marrying Lin, so she didn't marry into the high family.

At that time, the power of the town government was very high, but the old government retreated bravely. Although he lost his rights, he kept his family's old and young and his hundred years of wealth.

You know, several families with the same power as the town government committed crimes later, but none of them survived.

In order to win the emperor's trust, the old Duke's teaching to the three sons was absolutely the same. Even if they had the talent to fight, they would spend decades, and the best talent would be wasted.

So the whole town government couldn't figure out how the emperor would choose their eldest master to lead the army. Are you sure the Emperor didn't make a mistake?

Not to mention that other people don't understand, even Mengshi himself doesn't want to understand. Holding the imperial edict, Mengshi is stunned on the spot. He doesn't know what the eunuch in front of him says. He just feels that his brain is buzzing and he can't think at all.

The eunuch who announced the order left, and the people turned back to the hall. Meng Shi also walked in with the crowd, but it was like a dream at this time. It was not real at all. The whole person was floating, just like stepping on the cloud. Everything in front of him was fuzzy

Before she was relieved, the eldest lady yelled with joy: "heaven has eyes. The emperor has finally used the master. This is great good news. Mother and master, do you think we are going to open an ancestral temple and report the good news to our ancestors? If they know, they will be happy for you. "

The Duke of Zhenguo only felt that everything in front of him was vague. He didn't know what the eldest lady said. Of course, he would not answer the eldest lady's words.

Old lady Meng sneered, but she didn't look at the old lady. Her eyes fell on the happy second and third master of the Meng family, "second and third, do you think so?"

The three sons of the Mongolian family are all born by the old lady. They are the direct brothers of a mother's compatriots. Although there are contradictions at ordinary times, the three sons of the Mongolian family will certainly unite in matters related to the family's honor and disgrace.

Seeing that his elder brother was valued by the emperor, the second and third master of Meng were certainly happy. They wanted to go to the ancestral hall immediately and tell the good news to their dead father, but

Seeing the stern face of old lady Meng, the second and third master immediately gave up the idea and asked carefully, "mother, aren't you happy for elder brother?"

"Happy? What is there to be happy about? " Old lady Meng sometimes regretted that she didn't make all her three sons smarter, so that she was used by the emperor, and she felt very grateful.

"Mother, do you mean it's not easy to do this job Meng Shi, the Duke of the town, who had been in a chaotic state, woke up. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and looked at the old lady eagerly: "mother, is there a secret behind this job?"

The three sons of the Mongolian family have all sorts of bad things, but one good thing is that they are very filial to old lady Meng and listen to old lady Meng.

If not, Mrs. Meng would not dare to say in front of Xiao TIANYAO that the whole town government would be the backing of Lin Chujiu.

Old lady Meng knew that her three sons were not stupid, but they were raised too simply. She couldn't see through many things and needed to be awakened.

With a slight sigh, Mrs. Meng said, "boss, you've never been in a real position before, let alone on the battlefield. Don't you think it strange that the emperor suddenly appointed you as commander in chief and asked you to take half a million troops to resist the army of Beili? "

Of course, it's strange. No one in the whole family is strange, but at the same time, they are very proud, because their master's first attack is to be the coach. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he will make a name for himself.

Hearing the old lady's words, Meng Shi's little pride died out immediately, and he said rather depressed: "my son just feels strange. I can't believe that the imperial edict is true. My son has never learned the art of war since he was a child. He is not as good as one percent of his father. How can he bear such a heavy responsibility? "

This is a big truth. Mengshi is happy that he has been used by the emperor, but at the same time, he feels great pressure.

It's really a beautiful sight to lead 500000 troops to the battle, but the lives of 500000 people and hundreds of thousands of people on the border are all on him. The burden is too heavy for him to bear!

"If you think that, mother will be relieved." Old lady Meng was relieved. She was really afraid of Meng Shi's excitement and insisted on leading the army.

After all, not many people can stand the temptation.

"So elder brother can't take the job?" Meng Er Ye sorted out the clue and was not happy.

Meng San ye still had a little reluctant to give up, and murmured, "where are the decree, has the final say?"

The eldest lady was worried, for fear that she might miss a good opportunity. In the future, she might lose the emperor's heart even if she didn't have a chance to grasp the real power. She quickly followed the advice: "my brother-in-law is right. The emperor has even given the imperial edict. How can you allow me not to take the job. Besides, even the emperor believes in the master. What else can we be afraid of? The tiger father has no dog son. The master is the son of the master. The master was in the four kingdoms of Wei and Zhen. How could the master be poor? "

The more she said it, the more she felt it was like this. But before she was happy, she heard Meng's anger: "old lady, shut up!"
