When the academy head became the academy head, the emperor was not the emperor yet. Hence, he probably had a deeper understanding about the entire Great Ning than the emperor himself. After all, the academy head and served three emperors. When he was most heavily involved in the imperial affairs, the current emperor was still very young. Even the princes were not as involved as the academy head - because the previous emperor forbade it.
If not for the sudden death of the late emperor, Li Chengyuan, the current emperor would not get to such a level. Hence, he exceptionally valued the academy head, beyond imagination; even more than Mu Zhaotong, who had similarly served three emperors.
This was because the academy head was a lot smarter than Mu Zhaotong. He did not interfere with the imperial family’s affairs, nor did he try to give the impression that he had authority over the imperial court and civilians.
“Still too young though.”
<After the two Navy Xiongniu battleships remained in Changan city for another four days, they finally embarked on their journey home. When the nobles within the palace were selecting the goods, they made others understand what exactly meticulous and conscientious meant. Even if there was a greater variety of embroidered textiles, the Navy people felt that taking ten days to pick would be enough. However, they did not expect the nobles to follow that many standards and rules when it came to selecting the items. The late emperor died a sudden death, but the queen was still alive. After the current emperor ascended to the throne, the empress, Zun Yuancheng, became Empress Bao Su, and she resided in the west palace. The emperor was very respectful towards this sister-in-law of his. Even Empress Yang, who was not on good terms with the emperor, never disrespected Empress Bao Su. Every year, when gifts were sent to the palace, they were taken to the west palace
The Navy’s mission to escort textiles to Changan city this time could not be easier or more effortless. They even had the time to stroll along the streets of Changan city, feeling as though their knowledge about the world had increased a notch. But on the other hand, for Shen Leng, returning to the Navy’s camp did not mean that the mission had ended. He had to go through Zhuang Yong’s obstacle. Under several watchful eyes, Shen Leng pushed a small one-wheeled wooden cart to Zhuang Yong’s tent. There were seven to eight urns of the northern border’s aged wine on it. Zhuang Yong was actually not particularly fond of strong wines. He preferred rice wine as it was less harsh.The people in the northern part of Great Ning drank mostly sorghum wine. The freshly made wine were especially bitingly cold. A mouthful of it could render an ordinary person drunk. On the other hand, the people in the southern part of Great Ning preferred rice wine, which w
When Shen Leng talked about bringing a girl on campaign, he heaved a long sigh of relief. Thereafter, he wanted to see how Master Cha would respond. Master Cha responded, “Hehe, that good?...huh? What?!” After that, her face gradually sank. “The emperor wants you to bring a girl on campaign?!” Shen Leng could tell that something was amiss. He said something romantic and poetic, so shouldn’t he be receiving a hug in return as a reward? Or perhaps, shouldn’t Master Cha be smiling bashfully? Before he could finish feeling sad, he saw a black figure appearing right before him. Thereafter, he was greeted by the smell of perfume…Master Cha grabbed Shen Leng by the collar and said, “Judging from your facial expression, you seem very happy. Trying to pick up other girls on imperial orders, huh?” She looked at the tree by the door of the kitchen. Mr. Shen glared at her. “Let that tree go…silly child, why don’
Cen Zheng Sat across from Shen Leng and looked at him with a half smile. “I know that there were a lot of things you did not understand from before. Such as, why I directly killed Bai Xiu in the coastal border region. Right now, do you have a better understanding?”Shen Leng looked at the bundle next to Cen Zheng’s hand. What was inside was called ‘inside intelligence box’ - it was a top secret channel to send information to the emperor. Even the identity of the person who sent the information was hidden - at the very least, other people could not easily guess it. Cen Zheng had the inside intelligence box in his hand, hence his reason behind killing Bai Xiu was not solely because Bai Xiu wanted to kill him. The emperor would not allow Cen Zheng to get exposed over a small matter as such.“Even though the emperor wanted me to give the inside intelligence box to you, I need to see your abilities for myself.” Cen Zheng asked Shen Leng. “I killed
Shen Leng put down the spatula in his hand and was about to send Cen Zheng off. When he walked out of the kitchen, Cen Zheng was already at the door of the courtyard. He did not turn his head around and gestured in the direction of where Shen Leng was. “Continue cooking. The smell of the food is already coming out.” Shen Leng subconsciously continued, “Eat before you go.”Master Cha tugged on his clothes from behind. Hence, Shen Leng started to laugh awkwardly. Cen Zheng started laughing. Even though she did not intentionally look at her actions, he still saw it. He specialized in such things in the first place. The more minute the details were, the more observant he was. Hence, he laughed as he walked out.“Young lady, you’re very petty.”Master Cha was stunned for a moment. Thereafter, she tiptoed as she looked at Cen Zheng walk farther and farther. In a fit of pique, she said, “If you dare, finish eating before yo
After drinking three cups of wine` , Mr. Shen eased up a little. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Jianlian. “When are you planning to leave?” Chu Jianlian put down his cup of wine and replied in a serious manner. “After I’m done doing what I have to do.” Mr. Shen, who had just eased up a little, had a cold look on his face again. He tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. “Last time, you called me Prince Liu’s lackey but you still considered me a good friend. Later on you insulted me by calling me a stray dog. Yet you still considered me a good friend. Right now…you can’t do that anymore?” Chu Jianlian asked, “Did I keep telling you that I like eating dog meat?”Mr. Shen stopped tapping his fingers against the table. The joints of his fingers went slightly pale. “Actually, I have never eaten it before.”Chu Jianlian stood up and his glance swept around the courtyard. “This place is not big
When Shen Leng returned home, he saw Master Cha practicing some sword techniques. Mr. Shen and Chu Jianlian were sitting at the side, drinking tea. He could tell that Chu Jianlian really appreciated and admired his one and only disciple. As he watched her practice, he smiled from time to time. Shen Leng returned, wearing a Fifth pin’s military uniform. Mr. Shen’s eyes lit up, while Chu Jianlian’s eyes became dimmer. After all, Chu Jianlian was a Chu man. “Is this the Fifth pin general’s uniform?”Master Cha swung her arm and tossed Po Jia into the air. The long sword that was like clear limpid autumn waters left a ray of light in the air, heading directly towards Chu Jianlian. Chu Jianlian lifted up the sheath from the table and the sword returned to the sheath instantly. Shen Leng made one full turn for Master Cha to take a good look at his uniform. As a result, Master Cha herself walked around him as well, at the
The town where Shen Leng and the rest were temporarily staying at was called Weicun. There was a small village located around six miles away, named Ji Shan Zhuang. From the day before till today, Liu Yun Hui’s men had been standing guard outside of Ji Shan Zhuang for half a day and one night. They could see every single movement of Guan Tang Kou’s men within the village very clearly. Hei Yan squatted on the slope outside of the village with a pipe in his mouth, making him look slightly older than he actually was. However, when young people tried to look older, they ended up looking more adorable instead. However, the look in his eyes was not adorable at all; there was only murderous intent. He mimicked the elders, tapping the pipe against the sole of his shoe. Hei Yan stood up. “It’s time.”The man in white behind him took out a whistle and flicked it. The whistle let out a high-pitched sound and flew high up into the sky. The men in white w
Meng Changan with black eyes walked to the small courtyard where Shen Leng and Master Tea temporarily lived, and wanted to push the door to enter, but suddenly thought that when he was about to come in before he saw a drop of childish things, so he stopped, his face was a little difficult."Got to knock."Black eyes as if showing off some unearthly skill, "Don't you know it? To knock."Since he learned the knocking technique in the Wei village not far from the marine division camp in Anyang County, he has always felt great, and I don't know where the point of pride ...... is.Knock on the door and enter, right on the spot.About half an hour later, a pot of meat buns made by Shen Leng himself was placed on the table, Black Eyes reached out to grab it, and the small wooden stick in Master Tea's hand accurately hit his fingers, "Wash your hands!"Black Eyes: "Oh ......"He stood up to go wash his hands and said to himself, "Why does this feel
Regardless of whether the princess's request will be accepted by the talk of the nine states, there is a fact that the princess has to accept, the Tubo army of nearly 200,000 people ...... No food.Kill the horse can last about a week, if you save some food barely keep people can walk, can eat ten days, but this ten days without combat effectiveness to speak of the Tubo soldiers can let the Ning people to kill to the corpses, there is no power to fight back.Before coming to the Tubo people are still saying that the Ning people are only good bragging is actually a twolegged sheep to be slaughtered, after the fight only to understand that the Ning people if sheep, but also can be swallowed by tigers and wolves of the kind of sheep.Shi Zihai City, Shen Leng did not let their own people to participate in the army pursuit, at the time of the war, as a general of the Ning can not avoid the war, and then heartache of their own men must also take people to kill up, but a
If in any other place, any country, a war as the commander of the army of the great general but left the main battlefield, leisurely in the riverside waiting for a few days, will be scolded out of the bed, the Imperial Historical Office of those adults if they know, the zhang folds will be like snowflakes like flying to His Majesty's table, but in Daning will not be, and can not find any reasonable reason to explain, probably even the Imperial Historical Office of the The adults all felt that this was not a big deal.The adults of the Da Ning Imperial Historian's Office would seize on a general's private life, but would never just enlist a general who was leading a battle without any actual evidence or results, quite a bit of chivalry.Chang'an Night.The moon in the city of Chang'an is nothing special. Poets praise the moon in Chang'an as brighter, of course, because His Majesty the Emperor is in Chang'an.When the moon is full there will be a few poets in e
Lone Camel Mountain.There is a small river at the bottom of the mountain, no one knows what the name of the river is, this is Chechi Kingdom not Tufan, and here there are only Tufans, a group of Tufans who seem to have lost their pride and selfrespect, not to mention that no one cares about what the name of the river is, no one cares about what the people around them are called, and the team establishment is in complete disarray, with nearly two hundred thousand people, not many of them are still able to find a lot of familiar faces around them.The vast majority of the people sat in silence, conversation would show them the wretchedness and fear of each other.From loss of pride to loss of selfrespect may also be a person's journey from decadence to ruin.The river is shallow, the fish in the water have long been trampled muddy the bottom of the water horse hooves scared out of sight, this side of the people holding the water to drink, the other side of the
Shen Leng naturally refused to take his clothes off in front of Master Tea, that full of injuries if he let Master Tea see it, he did not know what to do, Master Tea is not a brutal and unreasonable person, never, but Master Tea this time really saw the battlefield how people kill each other, even though she has not yet opened her mouth, she is already looking for a chance to open her mouth.She hoped that Shen Leng would live well, and on the battlefield, swords were blind, and no one would be lucky for the rest of his life.But Shen Cooling can not give up, although Mr. Shen until now has not told him why he has to spell it out like this, but Mr. Shen told him that he must spell it out, Shen Cooling knows that Mr. Shen will never take his life to joke around, betting on it must be very big and big, because Mr. Shen is so so caring about him, caring about tea.Chang'an City.Baogi Palace, Mr. Shen after changing the medicine lying on the bed looking at the h
This battle was fought in a vast and magnificent, 300,000 threatened to take the Shannan Road within seven days of the Tubo army thousands of miles of land finally even Shi Zi Hai City this line has not been able to cross, not to mention cross, close to the not.At least 60,000 Tubo soldiers died in the chaotic battle, more than half of them were killed when their morale collapsed and retreated, even if it was when they were routed, their strength was still at least more than three times that of the Ning army.Le Qinqiao Mingtai was injured by the generals under the rescue all the way to the south southwest of the wild run, the road lost how many soldiers have been countless, from the stone sea outside the battlefield to one hundred and sixty miles away from the lonely camel mountain, more than two hundred thousand people are still left 180,000, tens of thousands of people either lost the direction of do not know what to run to the place, or simply do not dare to follow
Shen Leng cleaved Kuo Shan with a knife, seized Kuo Shan's horse and rushed forward to meet with his own team, and the team of more than one thousand people rushed towards the side of the large group of people of Tubo country, blatantly and fearlessly.The big banner on the opposite side indicated the identity of the other party, Shen Leng led his soldiers to charge straight towards the big banner, killing countless enemies along the way like a thorn in the side."Unbridled!"Caoge Mingtai was furious when he saw that very small number of Ning cavalry charging over, how could he endure such a disregard for him?In his horse next to a bear and a leopard, around the arm of the guards also stood a Haidongqing, broad brother Mingtai most like to hunt, this bear and a leopard are tamed by him, the most ferocious is that Haidongqing."Let go of the bear panther."At the order of Cuoge Mingtai, the beast tamers under his command immediately unlocked the
Tamuta is taller than Meng Chang'an by half a head, looking at that arm than Meng Chang'an's leg seems to be thicker, although he did not understand what Meng Chang'an said he big fork that sentence means, but thinking that after all is not what good words, so a knife toward Meng Chang'an's head cut down, the knife carries the wind might, the wind with the Running Thunder.When!Meng Changan actually didn't dodge again and still met him with a solid slash.This knife Meng Changan backward two steps, Tamuta also backward two steps, two people holding the knife's hand are some slight tremor, that kind of strength, if you split a horse, will be cut in two, split a monument, will also be cut in two ......

Often times, people outside of the Ninjas don't understand a lot of what the Ninjas decide to do.For example, the western frontier heavy armor general talk jiuzhou led 40,000 heavy armor to break the chechi capital city, and then like a high wall to stop the return of 300,000 tufan country's army, 40,000 to stop 300,000, and a kind of you're already surrounded aura, in addition to ningren no one will be able to understand.Where does the confidence come from to be reasonable?Shouldn't Tan Jiuzu sit in Shizihai City to take care of the big picture? He's a great general leading troops to block the road, who's in command?Now that the Land King was the biggest in Shizihai City, he was really eager to give it a try, yet he eventually held back.The great general talked about Jiuzhou rate of heavy armor around the road to attack the Chechi country before the explanation is not much, there are two sentences is probably the focus ......
