Chapter 114 Toes

Since the day the assassination occurred in the Central Army tent, Xue Chongxun praised Su Jin. Mr. Su was not very good at his skills and had a very hard bone. The familiar bureaucrats of the shogunate often joked with kindness that Su Jin was a hard bone.

Su Jin was very helpful to this kind of joke and often laughed and agreed.

Therefore, he felt that he was more trusted by Xue Chongxun and his mood was very bright.

One day, officials discussed matters in the tent and decided that Qi Teller would be involved in the matter of the Teller's misconduct after he was involved in the Teller's tribe. Su Jin believed that Qi Teller's violation of the law was not very important to his tribe, and he had to consider the established strategic direction of abrupt and peaceful life, so there should be no more trouble at this time.

Xue Chongxun accepted his opinion, and in the eyes of everyone, Su Jin had become a celebrity who obeyed Xue Chongxun's plans, and his confidant...

Everyone couldn't help but secretly sigh that loyalty is what the superiors value the most.

In fact, the Tsuyugu tribe itself is an innocent tribe that is implicated. The Tang people did not care about this matter, but they could not let the Turks forget it.

Since the betrayer Qi Teller is the grandson of Tsui Gu, Tsui Gu will inevitably be affected, at least its prestige will be greatly reduced in the Turkic Kingdom.

Xue Chongxun's aides considered the cause and effect of the incident very carefully. Perhaps Qi Teller himself could not have thought so much before he started.

After the discussion, Su Jin and Erling came out together, and now he has an equal attitude with these two civil officials.

At this time, when a slave whispered behind the tent, the three of them continued to move forward quietly, and one of them said: I served the prince soaking his feet last night and found that his little toes had two petals... The other said: Are you six toes?

At this time, Wang Changling took two steps forward. The two girls found that the person who came hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid him. Wang Changling said seriously: You just bought it and don’t know the importance. This is the place where you should gossip around?

The servants couldn't answer, and they couldn't say a word.

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has no intention. Su Jin has another idea when he hears it.

The next day, Xue Chongxun summoned all the officials and generals to return to the court, but Su Jin stood up and asked: I heard that Xue Lang had six toes on his feet, can he take off his shoes?

Everyone looked at each other without knowing why, thinking that only Su Jin dared to ask Xue Chongxun to take off his boots on such an occasion. As expected, the popular celebrity is different.

Xue Chongxun was also shocked. Of course, he knew that Su Jin was a literati with traditional behavior at heart and would never make a fuss in public. There might be some reason.

After a while, Xue Chongxun said: My feet seem to be very normal.

Su Jin said seriously: The little toes of the foot are divided into two toenails, but it is not easy to pay attention to if you are not careful.

So many civil and military officials were summoned, but they pulled their toes without talking about military and national affairs. The atmosphere at this time was indeed absurd, and what was even more absurd was that both of them looked serious as if Xue Chongxun's toes were a major event that was related to the fate of the country...

Xue Chongxun paused to satisfy Su Jin's curiosity, so he simply took off his boots and socks. It was not the first time he was doing it in public.

The officials standing in front surrounded him and took a look, and said: Sure enough, the little toe has two toenails.

Su Jin said: The toes like Xue Lang are the descendants of the Huangdi.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that Su Jin's purpose of tinkering in public was this sentence.Is he purely flattering or has other meanings?

……

There were too many people attending the tent that day, and all the civil officials and military generals were slightly above the level, which had a great impact.

The soldiers who had won the battle were relieved, but now they were a little upset.

Some people privately talked with acquaintances: In recent years, the officialdom has been talking about the distinction between China and the barbarians, and public opinion rejected the Hu people for criticizing the dynasty's foreign policy. This time, Su and Jin sang together in front of the King of Jin. Is it implied that the Li Tang royal family was not the Yanhuang clan, and they could not be the emperor today?

At this time, all the elite troops from all walks of life in the north were at the hands of the King of Jin, with a force of more than 100,000. They were also recommended as leader of the alliance by various tribes without any worries. The Murong Xianbei and other tribes may also send troops to help...

At this time, if the King of Jin becomes independent, what kind of troops in Guanzhong can stop it?

Erling was also speculating on various signs, but he was still cautious.

Zhang Jiuling said: Xue Lang was respected as the leader of the alliance by all races, so I was probably thinking about it. The things that happened with Su Jin in front of everyone that day were not accidental, so we have to think about it.

Wang Changling shook his head and said: Even if Su Jin is appreciated by Xue Lang, Xue Lang cannot just discuss such a big deal with him, but we know nothing about it.This matter is of great importance. If you do not discuss it thoroughly with Xue Lang first and make rash plans, it is not a proper way.

Zhang Jiuling agreed, so he asked to see Xue Chongxun with Wang Shaobo.

Several confidant advisers tested his attitude in words.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun said flatly: I am absolutely obscene. That day, Su Jin blamed him for making a play without discussing with me and making everyone think randomly.Next day, I will summon civilian generals to explain the matter clearly so as to avoid panic and unfavorable morale.

Several advisers were skeptical. After all, even if Xue Chongxun had that heart, it would not be easy to express it directly in front of anyone. This is in line with the recognized virtue of humility.

In fact, at this point, Xue Chongxun's great merits are greater than the emperor's power. No one in the Xue Party dares to claim that he is loyal to Li Tang and Yunyun. Otherwise, how can it be reasonable to be in this group to seek wealth?

However, the current political structure is complicated and involves Xue Chongxun's family affairs. The advisers all feel that it is not yet natural to do so, and the resistance still exists, that is, the time is not ripe...

Therefore, for various reasons, Erling seemed to disagree with Xue Chongxun's sudden shocking things he had done now.

Don’t worry too much, it is the right way to think about comforting the morale of the army.Xue Chongxun emphasized again.

When Erling saw that Xue Chongxun was fruitless, he asked Su Jin for questions.

But Su Jin, like Xue Chongxun, resolutely denied it, only saying that he heard about Xue Chongxun that day, was just that out of the idea of ​​verifying his bloodline...

But why did Su Jin trouble that in front of so many people?

Su Jin did not mention his plan to anyone, but advised him to advance alone in front of Xue Chongxun: Since ancient times, dynasties have not been completely pedantic and pedantic. Zhou Dynasty replaced Shang, and benevolent politics replaced power. Some people from Boyi still thought that Zhou was unrighteous in planning for the king because of his ministers, and refused to eat Zhou's grain and died.In order to make the Zhou Dynasty of Shang decayed and hold the throne, King Wu defended his righteousness and refused to attack, which led to the rise of chaos and power in the world. What benefits does it benefit the country and the people?It also seems that the Li Tang Dynasty's aura has been exhausted this time. The country has no king but no country. Xue Lang's progress has followed the general trend of heaven and stabilized the world, and he should not let it go.

Su Jin was very brave today. He had considered the consequences just because he was favored recently.

Xue Chongxun had just faced a person who did not kneel down and was arrogant and complacent. His unjust intention was to betray his confidant who was persuaded to enter privately and show his loyalty?

At this time, what is the point of Xue Chongxun showing his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty? What has he done?

Therefore, Su Jin believes that persuading the initiative at this time is beneficial and harmless, and there is nothing to worry about.

Sure enough, Xue Chongxun did not scold him correctly, but just pondered.

Su Jin took the opportunity and said: Zishou Shaobo and others said that the opportunity was still not enough, but from ancient times to the present, there is no matter how to make a decisive world without a single try?But I felt that the time for the prince was coming. He took the prestige of sweeping Hu Chen in the army and called on the tens of thousands of elite soldiers here to refuse to obey?The army is driving into the pass, who can stop it?

Xue Chongxun was still silent. He thought to himself that Wang Changling and others did not recommend that he be decisive and enterprising, perhaps because he believed that the Tang Dynasty did not cause public grievances...

The key point is that although the political structure has been a bit chaotic in recent years, the court has always been short of talents for governing the country. The laws and regulations are smooth and the people are rich. From the gentry to the common people, they have not experienced the pain of the dynasty at the time of dynasty change. How could they urgently hope for the arrival of a new dynasty?

Then with the support of Confucian morality and righteousness, loyal ministers do not serve the two masters, and the gentry is unwilling to resign to another family.

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and Xue Chongxun believes that he has not won the hearts of the people.

After thinking for a long time, he still insisted on his attitude: Mr. Su does not need to mention this matter again, so as not to be known to you by others.

The civil servants thought more and thought more carefully, and they didn't worry too much about Xue Chongxun. What he was most worried about was the reactions of the generals.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out of the big tent, even Zhang Wulang, who had always been relatively steady, simply shouted to the generals: Xue Lang should have ascended the throne long ago, but he lacked a name, so it would be easier to do this time.Xue Lang was embarrassed to put on his dragon robe, so we just made one.

Li Kuiyong laughed: Xue Lang is the best to be an emperor. Don’t we brothers have to be a title of a prince or a minister?After enjoying this life, my children and grandchildren will continue, hahahaha...

The generals started to cheer in the army, and everyone's ideas were not complicated: the emperor who was in charge, and the brothers who followed him were naturally founding heroes, and they would be a good person for the rest of their lives. If they were reluctant, they would be a brain problem.

General Du Xian, the general of Mingguang Army, thought more about it than most generals. He was not that optimistic, but seeing all the generals cheering, he naturally expressed his support, otherwise it would be no benefit to cut off oneself from the masses.

Besides, Du Xian didn't understand what Xue Chongxun was thinking. If Xue Chongxun was determined to be enterprising, Du Xian would not be able to stop him in such a thing, which was a very critical position.

After the emotions of the generals calmed down, Du Xian looked scheming and said: Isn’t Xue Lang going to summon us again tomorrow to calm the morale of the army?This should give us the opportunity to support the achievements. Today I will find someone to work on the yellow robe. There is no need to worry about the workmanship. That's it.We will put it on Xue Lang when the tent arrives tomorrow, without saying anything.

Li Kuiyong smiled and said: This plan is very good. Didn’t Wulang say that Xue Lang is embarrassed to wear it? We can just help him, and it won’t work if we don’t do it at that time.
