After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

In the previous dynasty of Jingguo, when resisting foreign enemies, they encountered two problems during the march. One was entering the miasma forest during the scorching heat, and the high temperature could easily cause serious illnesses among the soldiers; the other was fighting on the frontier during the scorching cold. Many soldiers froze to death in the ice and snow. .

"Your Majesty, what did you just say about the winter march?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Duke Dingguo raised his head in shock.

"What can the clothes made by Liu Bin be used for?!"

Not only Duke Dingguo, but also the military generals who had gone to court in the morning had forgotten to shout. Even the Minister of War, Ma Rui, was looking at the emperor Xiao Yunzhou intently at this moment.

Xiao Yunzhou stood up from the dragon chair on the spot with an expression on his face that said, "I just told you not to worry."

"Since Duke Ding is curious, then come with me to the school grounds to have a look."

Duke Dingguo was startled, and the other military generals and ministers of the Ministry of War who had stayed in Beijing were immediately curious and followed Xiao Yunzhou out.

The mouths of all the civil servants twitched and they could only follow behind.

"Master Liu, haven't you heard about the down jacket developed by the empress?" Jiang Li from the Department of Revenue squeezed in beside Liu Wenchang out of curiosity.

"I don't know." Liu Wenchang waved his hand and shut up resolutely, "I don't know anything, and I am also surprised."

Wen Chen: "..." They really convinced this old man!

The morning court had just started, it was just dawn, and all the civil and military officials were almost trembling as they followed Xiao Yunzhou out of the Humble Administrator's Hall.

The north wind howls, but the official robe does not block the wind.

The ministers were still wearing fur, mink or mouse fur cloaks when they entered the palace, but because they had just made the pilgrimage earlier, they had already taken them off and given them to the young eunuchs when they entered the Humble Administrator's Hall.

Now that the morning court is not over, the little eunuchs don't dare to show up. It's so painful that they don't have cloaks or furs, and they are all shivering in the cold, but they still have to endure it!

"Hiss—" The thin civil servant had shrunk his neck and did not dare to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the cold wind rushed straight into his throat.

The generals were okay, after all, they were used to hard times and had endured hunger and cold.

"Your Majesty, let's go faster, don't freeze to death." Duke Ding still had time to care about the civil servants.

But after saying this, Duke Dingguo also gasped.

The sudden cold temperature outside made goosebumps rise on the back of his neck.

My limbs are stiff and my movements are slower.

Alas, he is old.

The coldness in the capital alone is unbearable.

Think about the border, there are few trees and low walls, and the ice is three or four times thicker than in the capital.

During the reign of the late emperor, the two armies of Jing and Chu were facing each other. He led his troops to squat in the ice all night, and many of the soldiers were hardened in the early morning of the next day.

He survived because of his strong health. But that night, he was also carried to the tent, and it took him a long time before he could move.

Hey.

Now I am old, completely old...

Duke Dingguo looked worried and looked to the northwest.

The wind in the capital has become even harsher this year.

It's definitely colder at the border.

I don’t know how many sergeants stationed at the border have suffered from hidden diseases or froze to death.

"Your Majesty, you know that I don't like to joke about war."

Duke Dingguo had a stiff face, and his white beard was covered with hot breath that turned into water when it met the cold.

He was the first to follow the emperor, walked into the school grounds, and said in a deep voice, "If you deceive me today, I will resign immediately!"

The corners of Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched.

Look, one or two of them are his elders, both of them are ministers of the late emperor!

They were loyal, but not to him, the emperor Xiao Yunzhou, but to the country of Jing left behind by the late emperor!

From the beginning to the end, they never gave up on him as the successor to the throne.

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath, turned around and saw Liu Wenchang standing in the corner with a confused look on his face, and the frustration in his heart immediately dissipated.

He wants to learn from Concubine Liu, learn from Concubine Liu.

I'm not angry.

Liu Bin was not even angry that her own father had robbed her of the candied haws of money.

What is he angry about?

He was simply robbed of his ministers' loyalty by his own father.

Sooner or later, he will gain the trust of these veterans on his own!

Xiao Yunzhou calmed down and waved to Wei Zheng, "Choose two groups of guards, one group wearing Liu Bin's down jackets, and the other group wearing normal cotton clothes."

"Group competition!"

In the school grounds, rows of racks of swords and guns stand.

Upon hearing the order, the guards put down their knives and took off their cotton clothes on the spot. They were so cold that their breath turned into white mist, but they remained silent.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Duke Dingguo's eyes and he shouted "Hello".

In a blink of an eye, he saw five little eunuchs coming with five trays containing new winter clothes.

Seeing this, Duke Dingguo didn't care that he was cold. He glared and blew his beard, "Your Majesty, is this the perfect new winter coat you said?"

"Shit!"

Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows twitched.

When Duke Dingguo saw the winter clothes on the tray, which were almost twice as thick as the old ones, he was so anxious that he sprayed them on, "These new clothes are four or five inches thicker than the old ones! The empress of the harem has not been in the war and does not know the situation. It’s important to keep warm on the battlefield, but if you can’t move around, it’s useless like a bear!”

"When someone stabs me with a gun, my clothes are so thick, my head is stupid, and I'm extremely bloated, how can I hide!?"

"My head will be poked off... It's as warm as a July day, but it's no use! It's in the way, it's in the way!"

Dingguo was so angry that he didn't want to scold the woman. This fault must be all the emperor's fault, "Your Majesty, you are confused. It is normal for women in the harem to not understand. You don't understand either. You are blind because you learned riding and shooting from me."

"Hey, I taught you all in vain. I might as well teach your harem empress directly! Maybe the harem empress can learn better than you. I'm so angry!"

Duke Dingguo has always had a bad temper. He was like a firecracker when he was young, and even more so when he is old.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty looked at their feet.

After Xiao Yunzhou succeeded to the throne, in the name of caring for Duke Ding's old wounds, he only had to come to the morning court three times a month.

This is so right.

If Duke Dingguo comes to court several times in the morning, the emperor will be angry to death sooner or later.

Sure enough, when they looked at Xiao Yunzhou's expression, they saw that he was very angry - his face was red and he was trying hard to hold back his laughter...

Ok?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were startled.

The emperor is holding back... a smile? !

Duke Dingguo didn't regret it at all after he sprayed the emperor.

He had to scold the emperor a few more times before he was buried, so that the emperor would stop dreaming. Otherwise, if he closes his eyes in the future, there will be a war in Jingguo, and the country will be in danger!

It would be better for the emperor to hate him and be afraid of him now than for the country to be destroyed later and the emperor to be forced to hang himself by the enemy!

Duke Dingguo stared at Xiao Yunzhou with a pair of tiger eyes, and was quickly stunned.

Xiao Yunzhou put his hands behind his back, smiled and raised his chin towards him, gesturing for him to look back at the school guards.

"I will never forget what Duke Dingguo taught me."

"The battlefield is determined by planning."

"But Duke Dingguo himself forgot this truth today. He didn't observe carefully, so why did he jump to conclusions in such a hurry."

"Dong Guo, please turn around and take a look."

Duke Dingguo blinked and then turned around.

In the process of turning around, he had already seen the surprised look of the Minister of War beside him looking behind him.

Duke Dingguo quickly followed and looked at it, and was stunned at the sight.

I saw the five guards taking off their old clothes and taking the new winter coat that was four or five inches thick from the little eunuch's hand.

With a slap, this thick winter coat was instantly flattened!

When the five guards mentioned this winter coat, their expressions were startled, "It's so light!"

what?

Duke Dingguo pricked up his ears and opened his eyes wide.

How can such thick clothes be so light?

But soon he saw that these five guards who had changed into new winter clothes were moving like cheetahs, running at lightning speed, and he threw the old-clothed guards over their shoulders and threw them to the ground!

All civil and military officials in the court opened their mouths.

Duke Dingguo's eyes were straightened.
