Chapter 243 Listen to Mr. Xue
The military god of Dayu!
In the past, Zhao Duan only knew this nickname, but at this moment, he saw that everyone in the audience, whether it was the military officers or the soldiers carrying flags around, were welcoming him with a solemn expression.
He finally had a true understanding of the weight of the word "God of War".
He also realized why the empress paid so much attention to this military official of the imperial party.
The next second, a group of people came towards them in the autumn wind, and at the head of the group was that familiar yet unfamiliar face:
Xue Shence, with a fair complexion, a beard and a serious expression, is wearing his signature lion robe.
As a military official, he was not wearing armor today and did not have any weapons on him.
As he took a step forward, Zhao Duan felt an indescribable pressure.
That was a completely different pressure from that of Prime Minister Li Yanfu.
More direct, like a mixture of the cultivation energy of a powerful warrior and the energy of a general on the battlefield.
It makes people subconsciously feel awe, and the flow of energy and blood in the body seems to become sluggish.
"Xue Shence..." Zhao Duan repeated the name silently in his heart.
The last time the two met was at a small court meeting in the palace, where they caught a glimpse of each other.
We met again in the blink of an eye, but not on this occasion.
He had no likes or dislikes towards this military god, but he was somewhat uncomfortable with the subtle oppressive power of a superior emanating from him.
A strong person can actively restrain his aura, it just depends on whether he wants to or not.
Xue Shence obviously didn't think of that...at least not for himself.
Zhao Duan shifted his gaze and looked behind the other party, at the important members of the Privy Council, such as Governor Wang and others whose portraits were included in the information.
However, to his surprise, there was a slightly younger figure in a white robe with an indifferent expression in the crowd.
Tang Ping!
This young master who had been dismissed from office and driven out by him was actually following Xue Shence.
Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes and his expression became a little strange.
"I am here to see the Privy Councilor! I am in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council!"
At this time, the military officers under the awning spoke one after another.
Xue Shence nodded, but walked straight over, his serious gaze fell on Zhao Duan, his eyes flickered, and he took the initiative to speak:
"Mr. Zhao, we meet again."
Zhao Duan had already stood up, and upon hearing this, he smiled and clasped his fists:
"It's rare that Lord Xue still remembers me, and today he personally leads the other lords here. Our entire Shenji Camp is truly honored."
beside.
The dark and tall Shi Meng had a complicated expression, thinking to himself, "This should be my lyrics..."
The other military officers were also a little surprised, but not because they had met the two before.
But...this guy surnamed Zhao is really not humble at all!
As a fourth-rank military officer, it would be fine if he wasn't in awe, but he actually had to ask Privy Councilor Xue to speak first... It was indeed as the rumors said, he was relying on the favor of Your Majesty and was fearless.
Aren't you really afraid of displeasing the Privy Councilor?
Xue Shence's face showed no emotion, as if he didn't care about the "offense" of this subordinate. He just said meaningfully:
"Since Zhao Chenshi took office, his reputation has spread far and wide. I have heard a little about him. Since he will personally preside over the military exercises, I will certainly come to observe a few of them."
Famous?
It must be notorious... Zhao Duan complained in his heart, with a bright smile on his face.
It seemed like he just noticed someone at this moment and said in surprise:
"Why is the young master here too? Could it be that he left the Divine Machine Camp and joined the Privy Council right after?"
An old Yin-Yang master...
brush--
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Tang Ping, with a mentality of watching the fun.
Obviously, everyone had heard about the conflict between the two.
Tang Ping was not wearing an official robe, but only a white training robe.
He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with eyes as sharp as knives on both sides of his straight nose.
The young master has not had a good time these days.
Being dismissed from office and kicked out of the military camp is extremely shameful for the children of a "military family".
Especially after learning about the "false" charge, Tang Ping became even more angry.
For him, being dismissed from office was nothing, as one should take responsibility for one's own actions.
The ones who suffered the most were the low-level military officers who were implicated and dismissed along with him.
The "young master" is very concerned about his reputation and cannot stand this grievance.
The pride in his heart made him disdain to ask his father or other nobles for help.
He dared not vent his unwilling anger on the empress, so he could only repeatedly step into the Privy Council's door to seek an explanation.
Today, he unexpectedly learned about the Shenjiying training exercise, and immediately asked to follow Xue Shence.
I couldn't explain why I wanted to come here.
Just wanted to come over.
When enemies meet, they become jealous of each other.
Tang Ping clenched his fists, stared at Zhao Duan, and said coldly:
"You don't have to use such sarcastic words to squeeze me. I'm here to observe today as a son of a military hero. Or, you can try to take away my noble status as well!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense.
But the group of elders in the Privy Council tacitly did not say anything to stop it.
Zhao Duan looked at Xue Shence meaningfully, thinking to himself, who says warriors don't have any tricks?
Bringing Tang Ping in was nothing more than treating him as a charging pawn crossing the river to provoke him.
From this, it can be seen that these people in the Privy Council have been bearing the pressure and neglecting themselves during this period, and they are also very angry.
At this time, shouts were heard again from outside the camp gate:
"The Minister of War has arrived!"
The slightly tense atmosphere was immediately broken.
A group of military officers, including Tang Ping, turned their heads away in surprise.
Xue Shence looked deeply at Zhao Duan, who was smiling... and felt confused and uncertain.
Were people from the Ministry of War also invited?
What exactly does Mr. Zhao want to do?
Such a big scene?
"Haha, Lord Xue is here too. Would you mind if our Ministry of War joins in the fun?"
Minister Sun of the Ministry of War was an energetic old man dressed in a scarlet robe. He came with several officials, laughing.
Then, ignoring everyone else, he took the lead and showed Zhao Duan an eager smile:
"Envoy Zhao, we have been invited to come here. I wonder if we are too late."
The title "Shijun" is very subtle.
Intentionally or unintentionally, camps were divided.
Zhao Duan smiled brightly and said to the old man, with whom he had little contact:
"The presence of the Minister in person is a great honor to our humble home. It is just in time for us to have all the talented people here, and it is time for the drill."
For a moment, Tang Ping's emotions, which were about to explode, were interrupted.
Seeing the people from the Ministry of War arrive, he had no choice but to hold it back.
In the blink of an eye, the area under the awning was crowded with people.
The scene was so frightening that Shi Meng's eyelids twitched.
As the commander of the Shenji Camp, he felt like he was being excluded.
Zhao Duan whispered to Qian Kerou to notify Chen Huoshen and prepare to appear.
The officials in the pavilion did not sit down because Xue Shence was still standing.
He glanced at the seats and waved his hand.
"We are warriors training. How can we have the generals sitting while the soldiers stand? Come on, withdraw together."
However, no one around moved.
Many military officers of the Shenji Camp did not move.
The soldiers standing guard around did not move.
These people all turned their eyes to Zhao Duan at the same time.
Zhao Duan smiled and said:
"Master Xue is right. Let's all withdraw."
"yes!"
The soldiers near the shed then stepped forward and quickly removed the tables and chairs, leaving only a bare shed to block out the sunlight.
The officials present all looked a little strange.
Xue Shence also looked at him deeply.
…
Kawen, it's a little short, I'll make up for it tomorrow
