My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 167: My poem about willow is about Lord Liu

"At such a time, how can we let him off lightly for neglecting military intelligence?"

Zeng Shilin narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Chenggan.

Liu Chengqian looked at him calmly.

"hehe."

Zeng Shilin sneered: "Why is Minister Liu so anxious? Does he want to lead the army to the front line to kill the enemy personally?"

"Your Majesty, since Minister Liu has such a heart, I will ask for his order. When the army is ready, I will let him take command. If Minister Liu is the commander, our military department will fully cooperate and will not slack off!"

Zeng Shilin had a calm expression and saluted Emperor Jianhong.

Liu Chengqian's expression changed slightly.

Let him lead the army to kill the enemy?
"Minister Zeng, what we are discussing here is Zeng Anmin's method of training troops. When did it become a battlefield? You are putting the cart before the horse."

Liu Chengqian took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Jianhong with a calm look, and said:
"Your Majesty, my worries are not false. Rumors have spread from the south bank of the Yangtze River that Shangshu Zeng and his son are ambitious and want to surrender to the devil."

"The loss of the Dragon Map is obviously due to Mr. Huang's poor supervision, but the hidden danger was planted when Minister Zeng was the governor of Fengqi Road."

"If the demon race had not been lurking for a long time, how could they suddenly appear?"

"In my opinion, the rumors may not be true, but the evil ambitions of some people are obvious."

……

"Damn it, say that again?!"

Zeng Shilin raised his voice sharply and looked at Liu Chenggan intently:
"I have devoted myself to the country and worked hard as an official for decades. How can I allow you to slander me like this?!"

"Whose loser are you, Liu Chengqian? And for whom do you make guns?!"

What he meant was, how dare you, a mere minister, touch my tiger's whiskers?
You must be someone's dog.

As he said this, Dad looked at Li Zhen.

Prime Minister Li Zhen had a calm expression.

"Humph! I, Liu Chengqian, am naturally your Majesty's running dog and the people's running dog!"

Liu Chenggan looked at Zeng Shilin with a half-smile: "What's the matter? Could it be that those rumors really happened to Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Shilin was calm at this moment. Although he looked furious, he understood everything in his heart and was not angry at all.

Just the day before yesterday.

Suddenly, rumors spread from the south of Liangjiang County.

It is said that Zeng Shilin has been an official in Fengqi Road for many years and deliberately allowed the demon tribe to live in Fengqi Road.

Otherwise, how could the demons easily appear in Liangjiang County, kill Huang Yuangao, and steal the Dragon Map?

There is no basis for this rumor.

But it also became a reason for some people in the court to attack Zeng Shilin.

At this moment, my father's mind was extremely clear.

He knew that he had to show anger at this moment.

"Liu! You son of a bitch! Today, I..."

Zeng Shilin wanted to curse again.

But was interrupted by a laugh.

"hehe."

A light laugh was heard.

The sound is as crisp as a wind chime.

"Your Majesty, there have been rumors along the river since ancient times. Lord Zeng and Zeng Anmin, father and son, are both devoted to the country. Your Majesty must have seen it."

"Let's not talk about the decades of dedication that Lord Zeng has given to the country, but Zeng Liangjiang revealed his true heart in the illusion array. How could his iron character be fake?"

"The matter of the Yuanyang Army today might be Zeng Anmin's concern, but it has nothing to do with the rumor, right?"

"At most, we can only say that he is young and hot-tempered. How can we say that he neglected military intelligence?"

"If I were not young, I probably would not have been able to say such a bold and ambitious statement as "If the enemy can go, I can go too!"

The eldest princess's words were well-reasoned.

Zeng Anmin did perform well in the illusion array.

If Zeng Anmin were here.

I have to give a thumbs up to the eldest princess and praise her: She is such a crazy husband-protecting woman.

Emperor Jianhong's expression never changed at all.

He listened to everything calmly.

Liu Chengqian wanted to say something else.

But Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his hand and said calmly, "Silence."

"drive!!"

As he finished speaking, everyone looked outside the training ground.

Soon, two riders were seen riding towards them.

People with sharp eyes can already see Zeng Anmin riding on a horse.

"Let's put aside the rumors for now and see if this kid's method of training the army is really as effective as the Duke of Wei advocates."

After seeing Zeng Anmin.

A smile flashed across Emperor Jianhong's face.

He never had any ill feelings towards Zeng Anmin.

There is even more appreciation in my heart.

When the princess heard what Emperor Jianhong said, her eyebrows raised slightly.

He looked in surprise at Zeng Anmin who was entering the training ground.

I never thought that this kid is so popular with the emperor.

"I am late, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Wu Qianfeng and Zeng Anmin landed on the ground, they saw Emperor Jianhong and a group of officials on the high platform.

Zeng Anmin did not delay at all and walked quickly towards the bottom of the platform with Wu Qianfeng.

He saluted and waited on the spot.

"Begin the military exercise."

Emperor Jianhong simply uttered four words.

"Yes."

Wu Qianfeng and Zeng Anmin looked at each other.

He stood up and walked towards the five thousand soldiers in the field.

Zeng Anmin walked while thinking slowly in his heart.

It can be seen that the rumors from Jiangnan spread to Beijing and had an impact on him and his father.

But it shouldn't have much impact.

Otherwise, you would never have heard the words "start military exercise" at this time.

He looked up at the platform inconspicuously.

Then he saw the eldest princess's half-smile.

Uh?
Why is my wife here too?
Zeng Anmin touched his chin.

After a little thought, it suddenly dawned on me.

The last time she met with the secret audience, the eldest princess said that there was a great probability that she would lead the Mandarin Duck Army.

Now that the Yuanyang Army is formed, I think they are here for inspection.

"How are they doing with the things I taught you?"

Zeng Anmin speaks very fast.

"It's no problem now. Although these Yuanyang soldiers are newly recruited, the Ministry of War did not make things difficult for us. There are also many veterans among the soldiers sent, so the progress of the training in the past half month is quite gratifying."

"Ah."

Zeng Anmin nodded calmly: "After the military exercise is over, I will go to the high platform to test His Majesty's attitude. Please stay here."

"Yes."

……

Zeng Anmin watched calmly as the military performance began.

As Wu Qianfeng shouted:

"Everyone get ready! Listen to my command! March in unison!"

next moment.

The five thousand soldiers were like a huge machine, their bodies leaning slightly forward.

"go!"

As Wu Qianfeng gave the order.

Five thousand soldiers moved forward almost at the same time.

"Shhh!!"

"Damn it! Pay attention to the height of your arms! Align from left to right!"

“Yu Guang!!”

"Notice!!"

Since it is a newly formed army, there are still some flaws.

So Wu Qianfeng subconsciously started shouting loudly.

He was a warrior at the Breath-Lowing State, his voice was like thunder, and every command could be accurately transmitted to the ears of every soldier.

What does it mean for five thousand soldiers to march together?
All over the training ground, there was only a black cloud that was moving forward little by little like a machine.

Just a march.

Everyone on the platform in the field was watching in fascination.

They didn't understand what the arm swing height was that Wu Qianfeng was talking about.

What about peripheral vision from left to right?

in their eyes.

I only saw five thousand people doing almost the same action.

The huge square formation was orderly.

Neatly!

It's just a simple appearance.

Emperor Jianhong narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

He raised his head and looked towards Tian Ji:

"Eleven days of military training?"

As soon as these words came out.

Tian Ji immediately understood what Emperor Jianhong meant.

He doesn't believe it.

Tian Ji's face was flushed: "Your Majesty, the eleven days of training the army is absolutely true!!"

"Standing!"

Following the loud shout from Wu Qianfeng off the field, five thousand people stood in neat rows on the stage.

He ran forward and came to the stage, speaking in a very high voice:
"Your Majesty, the military exercise is about to begin. Please give your instructions!"

amount.

This part...

Emperor Jianhong was caught off guard.

He looked at Tian Ji blankly.

Tian Ji hurried to Emperor Jianhong and whispered something in his ear.

Emperor Jianhong nodded slowly, then looked at Wu Qianfeng calmly:

"start."

"Yes!"

Wu Qianfeng saluted with a swish.

Then he came to the square formation.

"The first task is to turn while standing still. Listen carefully to the command and stand at ease!" "Stand at attention!!"

"Shh!"

The movements are surprisingly consistent.

It was a pleasure to see all of them.

They all looked towards the field curiously.

Until Wu Qianfeng has completed all the actions during the stop.

They are still not satisfied.

However, Wu Qianfeng's next move was the highlight.

He shouted:
"Now let's start the marching action! Listen carefully to the command! Run!!"

"Shhh!!"

A full five thousand people clenched their fists and raised them to their hips almost at the same time.

"Walk!!!"

next moment.

The entire army began to run forward in small steps.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The pace is consistent and there is no noise at all.

"running??"

Emperor Jianhong frowned and looked at Tian Ji:

"Duke Weiguo, although I don't understand military affairs, I know that when the army is running forward, there will be a lot of trampling..."

"After the commander shouted stop, the scene became ugly and the formation was no longer in shape..."

Tian Ji just smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty, just watch."

Emperor Jianhong looked at Tian Ji with a confident look.

He nodded slowly and looked towards the field.

really.

Wu Qianfeng shouted loudly under the watchful eyes of the crowd: "Stand still!!"

None of the 5,000 soldiers who were running fell behind and they ran forward four more steps.

Then there is an extremely clean and neat ending!
All stopped at the same time.

There was no chaos as imagined.

There was no stampede either.

The formation remains the same!

The five thousand people were still running just like they were at the beginning, not a single person was left behind!!
There was silence.

Emperor Jianhong's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"This is……"

"Stand still in four steps."

Tian Ji said with a stern look in his eyes: "After hearing the order to stop, the soldiers should slow down four steps and then stop! This method can eliminate the problems that even the famous generals in the past could not solve!"

"The formation remains the same after running! There will never be any trampling!"

"This method comes from Zeng Anmin's method of training troops."

"Stand still in four steps..."

Emperor Jianhong suddenly raised his head and looked towards Zeng Anmin in the field.

I just happened to see Zeng Anmin yawning out of boredom.

……

Zeng Anmin did not show any sign of nervousness at this moment.

He had seen too many scenes like this in his previous life.

However, he did not know the impact his method of training the army would have on the people of this era.

Finally, I waited for the military exercise to end in boredom.

Emperor Jianhong stood on the high platform.

He only said one word to the five thousand soldiers.

"it is good!!"

This is a good word.

It says it all.

"What a great way to train an army! Zeng Anmin has the demeanor of a famous general from ancient times!!"

Emperor Jianhong was generous in his praise.

Dad’s head was tilted straight up to the sky.

He looked at Liu Chenggan with a smile.

At this time, Liu Chenggan just stared at the five thousand soldiers.

He squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xuan Zeng Anmin, come up to see me."

"Yes."

…………

"I have met His Majesty."

Zeng Anmin bowed to Emperor Jianhong.

"Ah."

Emperor Jianhong looked at Zeng Anmin with a smile on his face:
"Yes, the results of this military exercise were excellent. I am very satisfied."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I only came up with a method for training the army. The ones who actually carried it out were Duke Weiguo and General Wu."

Zeng Anmin scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Well, the military formation is now complete, and the Mandarin Duck Army will soon be formed..."

Emperor Jianhong patted Zeng Anmin on the shoulder with a smile, then looked at the people in the field, with a calm expression on his face, and said:

"I intend to let the eldest princess lead the army. What do you think?"

The eldest princess?
Zeng Anmin subconsciously looked towards the eldest princess.

At this moment, there was a faint smile in the eldest princess's eyes.

The chin is slightly raised.

It was obvious that what she said to Zeng Anmin last time at Liu Mansion was absolutely right.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

A voice rang out.

Everyone looked towards the voice.

Zeng Anmin also frowned.

It was someone he had never met.

"how?"

The princess looked at that person, her brows were calm:

"Minister Liu, a member of the Ministry of Works, can he also be in charge of the Ministry of War?"

Ministry of Industry?

Minister Liu?
A name subconsciously popped up in Zeng Anmin's mind.

Liu Chengqian, the Minister of Works!
He heard this name from Bai Ziqing's mouth!

The last time I went to Jiangnan, I investigated the case of Huang Yuangao.

It was this person who recommended Bai Ziqing to go in the hall!
At that time, Zeng Anmin deduced that Liu Chenggan was apparently a member of the Li Party.

But secretly, there is a high probability that they are from the Ningguo Mansion or Concubine Xi's people!
"The princess is a woman after all...Isn't it appropriate for her to interfere in military affairs?"

Liu Chengqian looked at the princess calmly:
"I think it would be best if the leader of the Yuanyang Army is selected from the imperial court."

"hehe."

The eldest princess smiled gently.

She didn't take Liu Chenggan seriously.

Instead, he blinked slightly, looked towards Emperor Jianhong and said:
"Your Majesty, I got a poem not long ago. How about sending it to you gentlemen for your appreciation today?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"What poem?"

Emperor Jianhong frowned.

He didn't know what the princess was up to.

"It's just an ordinary poem. Reciting it at this time complements the military performance."

The eldest princess smiled faintly, and her eyes slowly looked towards Liu Chenggan.

"Your Highness, please speak clearly."

Li Zhen, who had been silent, looked at the eldest princess.

The princess smiled softly and opened her lips:
"The tangled branches have not yet turned yellow, but they are now wild with the east wind."

When the first two sentences came out, everyone was stunned.

Subconsciously, he looked towards Liu Chenggan.

The Princess continued:
"I know how to use flying flowers to cover the sun and moon, but I don't know that there is clear frost in the world!"

“Great poem!!”

Zeng Shilin clapped his hands vigorously:
"This poem has a profound meaning, and is a sharp satire and stern rebuke of those who rely on power and wealth to get carried away."

"The whole poem is a metaphorical blend of description and philosophy. The satire is obvious but not shallow and direct. The implication is profound and thought-provoking."

"This poem really suits my taste. The princess is very talented!"

Emperor Jianhong also nodded slowly: "The poem is indeed good."

The eldest princess looked at Zeng Shilin in astonishment.

The same words were also spoken by Zeng Anmin.

The family members could not have different opinions, and the eldest princess had a clear view in her mind at this time.

In the entire audience, only Liu Chenggan had a very ugly expression on his face.

He bit his lips hard.

“Does this poem have a name?”

Duke Tian Ji of Weiguo looked at the eldest princess curiously.

The eldest princess turned her gaze towards Zeng Anmin and said with a smile in her eyes:

"This poem was written by Zeng Liangjiang, but the name is up to him."

"Shh!"
