Feng Guan was finally able to finish reciting the will,
he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After waiting for a "I admire this",
the followers of the imperial team pushed out the "wine, meat" and "silver reward" mentioned in the decree.
The wine jar is sealed with the word "imperial", and the meat is hung with a seal.
The silver coins were put into several carriages in baskets and baskets, with the title "Imperial" attached to them.
Feng Guan borrowed all the wine, meat and money from the Earl's Mansion, which was what he meant. However, when Feng Guan and Zhang Yuanshan saw this scene, they immediately looked at each other.
They have prepared these things. They originally planned to reward the Xuehaiguan soldiers after the military parade was over, but the military parade has not started yet. Why did they push into the school grounds like this?
This must be because the people below made a mistake at the time, but even if they made a mistake, the knights wandering around should be stopped. Is there any reason to give out rewards before the martial arts performance has begun?
But since the "imperial gift" has been brought in, there is no reason to withdraw. Any rules are not as big as His Majesty's face.
So, Feng Guanxian turned around and smiled coquettishly at Uncle Zheng;
Uncle Zheng also returned a gentle smile.
The imperial envoy's attachés came in with a cart full of wine, meat, and money, and began to distribute rewards.
However,
they soon discovered something was wrong.
The scene of eager looting that was expected did not happen.
Even, < /p>
What the military columns looked like before, they still look like now.
Everyone raised their heads and raised their chests without squinting.
The pigs and fresh pork that had just been killed last night were delivered to the sergeants, but they did not reach out to take them and pretended not to see them.
What is even more shocking is that, even if the money is brought to them, they still do not accept it and let the money fall to the ground and roll into pieces.
No one moves,
No one looks,
No one answers,
No one takes it.
Xue Haijun has paid attention to military discipline since he was in Cuiliu Fort, and the most important thing in the army is the clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
Seam operations,
All seizures must be handed over to the public, and then distributed by the superiors in accordance with military merit regulations.
Anyone found hiding it will be killed without mercy. This is an iron rule.
Same as the extremely high military discipline, there is also excellent treatment. For military soldiers, as long as they join the army and enter the bidding household, their children will go to the dormitory for free, and the sick will have free medicine at the hospital. There are monthly money and food subsidies, and there are pensions for those who died in the war.
Strict military discipline must be matched with excellent treatment, otherwise the sergeants will become disloyal.
But there are drills. Morning and evening, the military clerk will loudly ask:
Whose food do you eat?
YouWhose pay do we get!
Coupled with what happened when the decree was announced earlier, if the first time, the sergeants just relied on this instinct to act, then this time, everyone actually knew it.
This is, don’t show any signs of it.
Because of this, no one will touch these rewards.
Feng Guan's face was a little worried.
At this time,
Uncle Zheng said:
"Eunuch Feng, according to this Uncle, it’s better to perform martial arts first and then give rewards. Those who perform best in martial arts will be rewarded most generously. What do you think, Mr. Feng?”
Feng Guan immediately said:
”Uncle. It's exactly what the uncle said."
After passing the message, the imperial envoys and their entourage immediately took back the rewards.
Immediately,
Uncle Zheng glanced at Liang Cheng,
Liang Cheng held the knife,
waving his hand,
p>
The flag bearer on one side immediately waved the flag,
the soldiers and horses of the towns below began to line up quickly, and the martial arts performance, that is, the military parade, officially began.
…………
The night is cool and the wind is clear.
One pot of pickled fish and three plates of cold vegetables.
What is on the table is not wine, but warm tea.
Zhang Yuanshan and Feng Guan sat face to face. Zhang Yuanshan ate slowly, while Feng Guan took down chopsticks quickly.
For the former, in a leisurely office like the Ministry of Rites, you have to know how to break up a moment's work and spread it out into one day;
For the latter, you have to finish your meal early, just in case. If the master calls you and you are not there, that would be a huge sin.
"How do you feel?"
Feng Guan asked.
I am asking about the military parade during the day.
Zhang Yuanshan took a sip of tea and said:
"The armor is bright and orderly. Although he has never led an army, Zhang can already see that this Snow Navy must have the same style as before. The style of the Jingnan Army."
Feng Guan smiled slightly, took a bite of fish fillet, and took a sip of sauerkraut. He raised his head, sighed, picked up the teacup, and raised it, but did not drink it. Scattered around the table.
In a small space, there is a pattern of its own, and under the feet of the two of them, there is a wave of water and haze.
This is just a technique that is not popular among Qi practitioners. Its effectiveness is no different from those of those who perform tricks in the streets, but it is like hanging a bunch of bells on the door. If anyone opens the door to listen to something, the bell will ring.
The reason why it is not on the stage is precisely because it can only be heard.
As the godson of Wei Zhonghe, Feng Guan has some skills. Besides, the eunuchs of the Yan Kingdom Palace have always had the tradition of Qi refining and practice because of that prince.
Zhang Yuanshan shook his head and said:
"Today's military parade is partly to boost the morale of the troops. After all, it has not been long since Prince Pingye returned from Chu, and now he is about to enter Beijing again, so the morale of the troops is not high." Once caught, chaos will inevitably occur below;
2This is just for you and me to see. In the past six months, the imperial court has gradually begun to take over the local governance power of Jin through the selection and appointment of officials. This has long caused dissatisfaction among local military leaders. This move by Mr. Hirano is also aimed at passing through our eyes. , go and tell Yingdu, or even tell the court, that he will not hand over the governance power of Xuehaiguan territory. "
Feng Guan picked up the teapot, refilled a cup of tea for himself, and said:
"Then why can other military leaders tolerate it, but he, Uncle Hirano, can't? "
Zhang Yuanshan smiled when he heard this and said:
"Who is born to be willing to be restrained? It is just forced by the situation and done as a last resort. Otherwise, The reason why the Jin army leaders can endure it is because the Marquis of Jingnan is suppressing them, and they have to endure it even if they don’t want to;
But it is known to the world that the Marquis of Jingnan values Uncle Pingye. Everyone knows it, doesn’t he, Uncle Hirano, know?
Just because he doesn’t need to endure it, he doesn’t have to endure it anymore. "
"But this approach is really a bit too much. The Zajia family was announcing the decree before. ”
“It’s not like Uncle Hirano has never done more extreme things. The third prince is still in Huxin Pavilion. ”
“That’s true. "Feng Guandian nodded.
Zhang Yuanshan put a piece of fish head into his plate and fiddled with it while saying:
"Our Majesty is wise and powerful, and has the capacity to accommodate the sea. Eunuch Feng, if you go back and say it in front of His Majesty in an exaggerated manner, Your Majesty will laugh it off and just think it is a young man losing his temper and complaining.
Tsk,
Young man.
Uncle Hirano is indeed young, a few years younger than Zhang. ”
“Young people, young people. "Feng Guan repeated this sentence.
"It's good to be young. Being young means that making mistakes is not a big deal, and it is more tolerable to His Majesty. Besides, what is the situation here in Xueguan, you and I don't Everybody saw it.
Who knows when the snowfields in the north will change again?
The Chu State in the south suffered such a big loss this time, and both the royal family and the Qu family lost face. Although both sides now have a tacit agreement to withdraw their troops and cease the war, once weapons are used again, the Xueguan troops will The horse is bound to go south.
Otherwise, once the Chu people entered Jin and opened up the land of Jin, Xuehaiguan would become an isolated island in an instant.
Looking at the hundred-mile radius of Xuehaiguan, how many villages can be seen rising from cooking smoke? How many cities are actually inhabited?
It is not easy for Snow Customs to have what it looks like today. "
"Boda Zhang, whose side are you on? ”
Zhang Yuanshan said calmly: “I am on the side of Dayan. What we saw and heard today should be regarded as seen. When we go back, we must pass on what should be said, but once we go back, we must pass it on.” Don't add fuel to the fire, you may even have to help Mr. Hirano cover up one or two things. "
"Why? "
"Even if you tell the truth, our Majesty will find you annoying! ”
Zhang Yuanshan’s voice suddenly rose.
Eunuch Feng’s momentum dropped when you lost your temper.
"Eunuch Feng, Mr. Zhang just wants to give you a few words because you and I have been traveling together for so many days. Yes, I am a foreign minister and you are an internal minister;
What the internal ministers need is a word of loyalty, but that depends on where it comes from. The foreign ministers need reputation, and they will deliberately confront His Majesty with a stiff neck. Most of the time, His Majesty will just smile; Internal ministers, what do you need reputation for? "
"Miscellaneous family..."
"That's all Zhang said. In fact, even if Zhang doesn't say these words, Eunuch Wei will definitely talk to him after he returns. You said it.
Think about who is standing behind Mr. Hirano,
Jingnan Marquis, His Highness,
Which one can you afford to offend? ?
Take a step back and say, don’t look at others, just look at this Ping Ye Bo. Your Majesty praises him as the mainstay of the next generation of Yan’s army. Can you push him?
It is human nature to find steps and climb up them, but some steps are full of poisonous stings.
In fact, if there is any news about this incident that is too obviously detrimental to Mr. Hirano, it will be a problem. The blame falls on both of us."
"Zhajia, I understand."
"Then please accept this magical power, please?"
Feng Guan waved his sleeves, and the mist beside the table dispersed instantly.
Zhang Yuanshan pointed at the pickled fish with chopsticks,
and said:
“Eat more, the fish is only found in Xueyuan Pond, not anywhere else. I can't even eat it if I want to."
Eunuch Feng took another chopstick of fish fillets and put it into his mouth,
and said:
"It's really delicious. ”
……
Small pavilion, lantern, melon seeds.
Liang Cheng sat opposite the blind man and asked:
"Why don't you go monitor it?"
The blind man shook his head. Said: "What they say is not important, and it is easy to guess;
It is nothing more than slander, dissatisfaction, venting, self-mediation, looking at reality, and accepting fate."
"It sounds like it's really not interesting."
"Yes."
"Have you made plans for your visit to Beijing this time?"
"There is no time, we can only make careful calculations on the way. Unlike the last time when the Lord came to Beijing by himself, he was just a supporting role next to Jingnan Marquis. This time, he wanted to be the popular actress. ."
"There seems to be not enough manpower." Liang Cheng said.
San'er is still in the Liang Kingdom, A Ming is still sleeping, and Siniang is injured and snows. The customs must leave the blind man or one of Siniang in charge of operations. Liang Cheng himself also has to stay and lead the troops.
However,
hearing this,
the blind man smiled and
said:
" It's okay, we have ready helpers. "
...
A side room, a tea table, two plates of snacks, and a pot of grape wine.
Six Niang picked up a small cup,
< p>Xiong Liqing and Liu Ruqing immediately picked up the cups in front of them.“Sisters, although this grape wine tastes sour and sweet, it’s easy to get drunk if you drink too much. As for me, I just drink it. If you're not drunk, just do as you like. "
In the past, when Siniang opened a brothel and a club, she would drink all kinds of wine as water.
" If my sister is interested in elegance, my sister should do her best to accompany her. "Liu Ruqing whispered.
"Yes, yes, I am also happy today. The drums are beating so happily. If it were in Dachu, the emperor would definitely punish me, but he just laughed. laugh. "
The princess was obviously a little drunk. Saying these words at this time can easily be interpreted as showing off and showing off that I am favored.
Si Niang is not angry. Nizi was playing like crazy today, and with the grape wine, she was completely relaxed, and she was really innocent and cute.
Liu Ruqing didn't dare to get angry, she didn't even think about it. How can she fight for a position?
One is a princess, and the other is a woman who even the princess is careful to please. How can she, Liu Ruqing, fight for it?
“I’ve also heard about what happened today. There's nothing to say. You've made your man proud. Come on, sister, give you a toast. "
Xiong Liqing had a drink with the princess,
drank it in one gulp,
then said:
"I thought my sister would scold her. I don't follow the rules. ”
“It depends on the situation and the time. You should know it in your heart, but it’s difficult for you. At least this year, many times, I have to use you to save face.
It’s just that you have to practice this drum. I heard that the figure is very graceful, but the playing skills are really not that good. ”
“Practice drums? "
"Just think of it as a way to keep fit. If there is a chance in the future, during the battle, it would be a good story if a man leads the army in front and you beat the drum behind. "
"What about you, sister? "
"I am by his side, so I have to help him block the knife. "
Six Niang is really not talking about love, because it is very likely that the master will die suddenly, and they, the devil kings, will also follow suit.
So, on the battlefield, if If conditions permit, the demon kings will not hesitate to help Zheng Fan block the knife.
But when these words fall into Xiong Liqing’s ears, it feels different.
“Sister, Please teach me martial arts. ”
“Don’t teach. "
"Why? "
"If you find it troublesome, if you think learning to play drums is too boring and monotonous, you can learn needlework from me when you have nothing to do. ”
“Needlework? "
Liu Ruqing whispered: "This slave is quite good at it. "
Sixiang said "hmm" and said to Liu Ruqing: "I'm not surprised that you know this. ”
At this time, Xiao Yibo stood outside the house and reported:
"Miss Ruqing, there is a letter from home."
When Liu Ruqing heard this, her face immediately showed joy.
Six Niang pointed outside and said:
"Let's go read the letter."
"Thank you sister, I will leave first."
At this time, a letter from home is indeed a great comfort to a stranger.
After Liu Ruqing left, the princess said:
"Is it a letter from the Fan family?"
"That's natural. Thanks to your good cooperation, The Fan family is still in good order now.”
Because of the princess’s cooperation and Zhao Cheng’s internal and external cooperation, the Fan family’s efforts and risks this time were much lower than expected, so the Fan family is still the Fan family. Home.
Sixiang took a sip of the grape wine and continued; "I will write to the Fan family and ask them to send Liu Zhong."
"Ruqing's younger brother?"
"Yes, it is her only bond now."
"Sister is so kind to her."
Xiong Liqing is obviously a little jealous;
She is slightly drunk now and speaks directly. She is not as secretive and reserved as before. She really says what she wants to say.
"It's not that I'm partial, I also want to bring your brother here to reunite you brothers and sisters here."
"..." Xiong Liqing.
"Only those who love flowers know how to grow them. A woman like Liu Ruqing cannot let her feel sorry for herself all the time, otherwise she will easily wither. Her brother is the person she cares about most in the world. In the end, her thoughts will be here.
For her brother, she will live more actively and show her charm. I still have two cheongsams that I want her to wear. Look, if you teach her a few words of Wu accent, she will definitely be very impressed."
"Wu Guo?"
Wu Guo is also one of the many small countries.
Six Niang smiled and said nothing.
Xiong Liqing drank another glass of grape wine,
then raised her head,
looked at the empty seat in front of her where Liu Ruqing was sitting,
< p>He turned to look at Siniang again,swung his hands back,
said:
"Ah ah ah, I just can't get used to it. Sister is good to her, and sister can only be good to others."
Sixiang lowered her eyebrows slightly and looked at the princess who was fuming at her.
Today, the princess was having fun and getting drunk for the first time in her life.
At this time, the more the princess thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She actually got down from the chair, sat on the ground, hugged Siniang's legs, and cried:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Wow, sister is only allowed to be nice to me, not to her;
She is just a vase, she can only sing songs for him;
I can help him become famous, I can help He supports the show and can still call me to make him happy, woo woo woo.”
Siniang reached out and touched the princess’s hair,
but she frowned slightly,
Zheng Fan once laughed and joked with her that the princess seemed to have a bit of a flirtatious temperament,
Six Niang then remembered:
The one who really "hurt" the princess for the first time was herself.
......
"I am very proud of myself today. Do you know that my soldiers and horses, in front of the eunuch who announced the decree, did not listen to him?" Just listen to me.
Tell me, am I better than you were back then?
How stupid were you back then?
I don’t want the official position,
I don’t want the soldiers and horses,
I just come to Zhenbei Hou Mansion alone to see him off
Why bother? ?
I can’t imitate you. I’m just a selfish villain. Moreover, in my life, I only want to be happy. Who dares to make me really wronged? I don’t care. Who cares? The worst case is just flipping the table..."
Uncle Zheng was holding wine in his hand, leaning against the coffin, and talking to the person lying in the coffin. Of course, it was Uncle Zheng. He was talking, but the person in the coffin would not respond.
Everyone has a need for a tree hole, and Shatuo Que Stone is Uncle Zheng’s tree hole.
"I'm going to the capital. Do you think I'm trying to do something like this before I go to the capital?
But I'm happy.
I I'm so happy,
Hahaha..."
After the chat,
Uncle Zheng stood up unsteadily,
< p>Didn't go back the same way,but opened a bronze door inside and walked into another secret room.
In the secret room, the Savage King is sitting in a cage and weaving dragonflies out of straw.
And when Uncle Zheng took the first step into this secret room,
the previous state of drunken talk disappeared in an instant.
In the face of this man in front of me, even if he is in a cage, even if he is used to kneeling on the ground shamelessly and calling himself "Little Coyote",
But you,
You still need to be extremely careful and calm.
Zheng Fan sat down on the chair next to him.
But,
this time,
the Savage King did not kneel down and lick him right away. ,
On his face,
first there was confusion,
then surprise,
and then,
again After regaining his composure,
immediately afterwards,
he actually began to arrange his clothes and comb his hair with his hands, trying to make himself look serious and solemn.
Uncle Zheng just looked at him calmly.
Finally,
The Savage King stopped moving and looked at Uncle Zheng calmly. .
Uncle Zheng smiled,
said:
“Can you see it?”
The Savage King is good at figuring out people’s hearts. The so-called guessing does not mean that he can directly see through your mind, which means he is blind. Even in its heyday, it couldn't do this.
What Gou Moli is good at is to figure out what you are going to do by understanding you as a person, plus your subtle body language, or even a look in your eyes.
Although he is a wild man, he is as careful as his hair.
"Uncle, you are planning to use me."
Zheng Fan nodded.
The Savage King deliberately gave a wrong guess: "Uncle, are you planning to let me out and help you consolidate the snowfield?"
Zheng Fan shook his head,
Said:
"No, I want you to accompany me to Beijing."
