Long live the general

After Huo Yi experienced the most embarrassing scene, he calmed down miraculously.

He and Zhang Laiqian sat down in front of a desk in a corner, and the whole poetry meeting had already been set up, and the young ladies came and went arm in arm in groups of threes and twos, everyone was not interested in the poetry meeting, and they were somewhat distracted while talking and laughing Knowingly ambiguous.

This poetry society has only sprung up in Chang'an City in recent years, and Huo Yi didn't know about it until yesterday.

There was wine on the desk, and Huo Yi didn't like drinking, so he just clinked glasses with Zhang Laiqian and said, "Da Si Nong, you are quite free recently, you still have time to come to this kind of place."

"It's a holiday today, what's the matter with me?" Zhang Laiqian said naturally: "Besides, what does this kind of place mean? General Huo, were you forced to come here?"

Huo Yi: "Come here and have a look..."

Zhang Laiqian drank his wine, and blinked his beautiful peach eyes looking into the distance. There was obviously a commotion over there.

"Occasionally, I want to relax like this. There are beauties, wine and beautiful scenery. We have such a demeanor, we can't hide in the desk every day." Zhang Laiqian suddenly became curious about Huo Yi's emotional state: "General Huo, I heard that You haven't married yet?"

During the Mid-Autumn Festival before, Huo Yi had a faint feeling that Zhang Laiqian, the chief minister, was a bit coquettish, but before that we didn’t have much contact with each other in private? Huo Yi still couldn’t make a judgment, but now it seems that the chief minister still enjoys it on weekdays life.

"Yes, but I have a little niece..."

"That little girl named Huo Lingyue? I've met her a few times, and she's really smart." Zhang Laiqian quickly recalled, and said, "But she's just your niece."

Huo Yi said seriously: "I treat Xiaoyue as my own daughter."

"These are two different things." Zhang Laiqian emphasized: "No matter how deep the relationship is, a niece and a biological daughter are not the same, and will your niece treat you as your own father? But this is a matter of your family, and I don't know much about it." say what……"

Huo Yi: "..." He obviously finished everything.

Zhang Laiqian asked curiously: "General Huo, what do you like?" Huo Yi has already been made a marquis by virtue of his military exploits, has a reputation in the court, and is valued by His Majesty. Most people who have reached this level must have already married.And based on Huo Yi's appearance and demeanor, there must be no shortage of people who like him. Zhang Laiqian can't understand why? Huo Yi has no family yet.

Huo Yi recalled what he said to Cong Yunmeng yesterday in his mind, and said, "Gentle and kind."

"..." Zhang Laiqian: "You are fooling me, this is too broad."

Huo Yi smiled, and Zhang Laiqian pointed to a girl casually, and asked, "How about that, she looks very gentle and kind."

Huo Yi shook his head.

Zhang Laiqian asked several questions in a row, pointing out all the ones he thought were beautiful, even the handsome young man, Huo Yi still shook his head.

"Your request is too high." Zhang Laiqian said helplessly, "The one just now is one of the four beauties in Chang'an."

"I'm not demanding? It's just that everyone doesn't understand it. How can I like it." Huo Yi is very insensitive to the appearance of other people's faces. Strangers are all similar to him.

"You have to fall in love with it before you can get to know it in depth!" Zhang Laiqian said excitedly.

"You have to understand before you can have feelings." Huo Yi insisted on his point of view, he was very repulsed to get too close to strangers.

Zhang Laiqian found that their conversation had fallen into an endless loop, and said unwillingly, "You don't plan to meet strangers anymore, do you?"

"It's okay." Huo Yi didn't reject meeting new friends so much, he felt that he still met a lot of people after returning to Chang'an.

"Such a beautiful little girl, you don't want to hook up." Zhang Laiqian realized that Huo Yi was completely different from him at this time. Although Da Sinong was very busy on weekdays, once he was free, he would find something to his heart's content. Have fun, play around, drink tea or go to the flower house to drink tea.

"Then what do you do in your free time?" Zhang Laiqian asked.

"Go to the barracks, or feed the horses, wash the sword, practice archery, and occasionally read books." Huo Yi said: "Actually, I don't have much free time? I am usually very busy. When I am free, I spend more time with my little brother moon."

Zhang Lai thought to himself, what is going on in this state of being unmarried but having a daughter.

"How can you find your sweetheart like this?" Zhang Laiqian said sadly.

"Actually, it's nice to be alone." Huo Yi said, "I don't want to delay other girls..."

"Why was it delayed?" Zhang Laiqian was puzzled: "It's a matter of mutual affection." He looked at General Huo again. With such a person, it is not a delay for anyone to be with him, or he is rushing to him, even if there is no one in the end. As a result, it also makes people want to get closer to him.

His charm does not only come from external power, or in other words, his power and wealth, including prestige, are just an accessory.This kind of accessory was obtained by him by virtue of his own ability, the number one general of Dai Viet, and his invincible record, but it was the least worth mentioning thing about him.

In contrast, he is willing to promote and take care of newcomers, whether it is Zhao Cheng or Qiu Hongguang, they have all been recommended by him.He treats the soldiers generously and strictly, attaches importance to the lives of the soldiers, and fights with him, the survival rate is much higher than that of other armies, and he can still win the battle.Huo Yi is also willing to share his rewards with everyone after winning the battle.He is humble and docile, no matter how big or small he is in the imperial court, he treats everyone equally and treats everyone with sincerity. Of course, there are not many people who are higher than him now?...

Think about it, all the way to his current position, he didn't deliberately feel sorry for anyone, but instead begged everywhere, like a Bodhisattva.

These are just some things that Zhang Laiqian knows. Occasionally, he feels that Huo Yi's appearance is like a gift from God to Dayue and Emperor Yuanding. He has no selfish desires, works hard, and fulfills his duties. He can be worshiped by the people as a statue at home. degree……

Zhang Laiqian suddenly realized, no wonder Tingchen Dao? Chang said that he has spiritual roots, so it was because of this.

How could Huo Yi know that Zhang Laiqian thought so much in a flash? He had said the word "delay" to Cong Yunmeng many times before, but Cong Yunmeng didn't ask him in detail, probably because he thought it was just Huo Yi's. It was a prevarication, so I didn't delve into it.

But Huo Yi did? He thought so.

He thought about it for a long time, and said, "Maybe I'm afraid that I can't repay the other party's affection..."

From the bottom of his heart, if he had to, he hoped to find someone who could support his wishes. This idea was obviously too selfish.

——His wish is still the Northern Expedition, so that Dayue will have an invincible army, so that the people of Dayue will not have to fear the intrusion of foreign races.

At this moment, Zhang Laiqian is very interested in what kind of person General Huo might like, and who he will be with in the end.

He even felt that if no one caught General Huo, Huo Yi might really follow Ting Chen to practice Taoism in the end.

The two were silent for a while, and Huo Yi suddenly asked him: "What about you, why did I hear that you haven't married yet?"

"Hey, I'm still young. What are you in such a hurry to get married?" Zhang Laiqian raised his chin and said, "When I get married, someone will take care of me. I'm tired of being taken care of by my sister."

When he mentioned Mrs. Zhang, his tone changed a bit: "When I don't see my sister normally, I miss her a lot, but when I see her, I feel annoyed, alas."

"How is Madam Zhang recently?" Huo Yi asked politely.

Zhang Laiqian said: "That's it. It's fine to stay in the palace. She has gained weight twice. I asked her to ask His Majesty to leave the palace, but she is not willing. Oh, it's so nice outside, don't you think so?"

Huo Yi said: "Maybe she has her own ideas."

Zhang Laiqian shook his head, pointed to the two girls in front casually, and said, "They are coming, do you think they are for you or for me?"

Seeing that he was very excited, Huo Yi said obediently: "... for you."

Zhang Laiqian is very confident in his appearance, he smiled at the two girls, but the two girls took a look at Huo Yi, and stopped in their tracks, showing a look of admiration and awe, not daring to approach, a little hesitant left.

Zhang Laiqian: "???"

General Huo, what kind of aura is this!

Because Huo Yi was sitting next to him, no girls came here until the end of the whole poetry meeting, although their eyes always fell on them vaguely.A few teenagers mustered up their courage and came over, but Huo Yi sent them away with a few words.

Huo Yi soon relaxed when he found that no one was coming. The two of them simply drank and chatted, and listened to other people's poetry and archery. They really enjoyed this poetry meeting.

But next time he will definitely not come.

Huo Yi's state at the poetry conference, how? Much? How little is it similar to that of Huo Lingyue in Taixue Palace?

Huo Lingyue has a few friends around her, and they are active together with her as the core. She didn't mean to form a small circle? It just happened unconsciously.Mainly because it's true with other people in Taixue Palace? If you can't play together, Huo Lingyue doesn't pay attention to other people in Taixue Palace except Zhou Yunshen.

When Huo Lingyue and Li Feng were together, there were many? The student council watched them half-covered.Their names frequently appeared in the mouths of other students, and their attitudes were naturally mixed.Especially when Huo Lingyue was more and more loved by His Majesty the Emperor, their small circle became the focus of the entire Taixue Palace.

Huo Lingyue didn't know anything about it. Although she was annoyed by Huo Yi's constant nagging, she occasionally wrote down what Huo Yi said. For example, Huo Yi always emphasized that she should "be kind to others". The other party has to be a person... In short, Huo Lingyue thinks that she is very friendly to the students in Taixue Palace, never picks trouble, and is not afraid of others to make trouble.After gathering those few friends, Huo Lingyue put all her mind on her studies, so she didn't pay much attention to the situation of the entire Taixue Palace.

Huo Lingyue has a big plan recently.

In this small circle, including Huo Lingyue and Li Feng, there are only five people in total.One of the students, He Guo, was from the northern border county, and his father was the sheriff of Handan County.

Compared with other students, He Guo has a darker complexion, a strong body, and strong muscles.However, his state is different from Li Feng's. Li Feng was trained in the army, while He Guo was trained in the fields.

That's right, although his father was the sheriff of Handan County, he was just a bastard, and the sheriff didn't pay much attention to him, so He Guo simply hung out in the fields and stayed with the farmers all day.This time the Holy Majesty was going to open the Taixue, the county guard thought about it for a long time, and sent He Guo over.

After He Guo came to Taixue Palace, he was ridiculed because of his complexion and rough hands. At that time, he never thought that he would become Huo Lingyue's friend and join such a small circle?

This is the time after the morning classes are over. Generally speaking, they will take advantage of this time to eat and rest, and then start practicing martial arts in the afternoon.

But Huo Lingyue and the others were squatting under the red wall, forming a circle.

"Is this land big enough?" Huo Lingyue asked.

He Guo nodded: "Yes."

Huo Lingyue asked, "Seed? Have you brought it?"

Another person said: "Take it."

"Where's the shovel?"

Li Feng said: "Bring it."

Huo Lingyue clapped her hands: "Then let's start."

Several people moved and began to loosen the soil and dig ditches.

This scene surprised He Guo...or rather, he never imagined that one day he would farm in Ziwei Palace.

The source of the matter was that the few of them were chatting, and they were talking about the Northern Expedition.

In this matter, Huo Lingyue and Li Feng had the most say. After all, they knew a little more.A group of middle-aged and young teenagers were naturally filled with indignation. Everyone expected to drive the Xiongnu away all the way. Not only the Hetao area, but also the Hexi Corridor and the plateau farther away would be included in the territory of Da Viet. In short, even the hometown of the Xiongnu All praised.But they also knew that the Northern Expedition was facing the most realistic problem. According to Dai Viet's farming efficiency, one year's grain reserves could be saved in three years, while a war would consume ten years' grain reserves.

In other words, fighting a war requires 30 years of accumulation.

Now that Dai Viet has fought three battles, it has indeed exhausted the accumulated accumulation of Dai Viet for a hundred years. Today, His Majesty has also built an arsenal and a Taixue Palace, and also established two border counties on the far northern border. If it were not for Yuan Dingdi and Da Sinong tried their best to find ways to make money in order to maintain the current balance.

After analysis, Huo Lingyue and the others felt that there were roughly two reasons for the court's lack of money. One was that there was a lot of money? The money was all in the hands of the landlord Haoqiang, and what His Majesty did before was to collect that part of the money for the court's use.The second is because the land yield is small, and there is no money. In essence, it is because there is no more food production and minerals.

He Guo is usually reticent, but the topic they talked about that day happened to fall into his field of expertise, so He Guo tentatively put forward his previous ideas.

He had been hanging out with farmers in the farmland before, with a tanned body and extremely rough skin. He looked like he grew up in the field, but in fact, He Guo was very smart.
