My country is dead again [Rebirth]

The reign title of Xining finally came to an end in the humiliation of losing the capital. Xie Ruzhuo declared it to the world on the first day of the new year and changed the name to Longxing.

On February [-]th of the first year of Longxing, Song Qingge led the troops back to the court.

The defense line from the southeast of Suifang to the northeast of Hengchuan was completed, and the southeast corner of Chizhou was firmly locked. After two months, they and Xu Zishen had a few small fights in this area. Shen Ci seemed to have known him for more than ten years. Over the years, I knew him too well, and I could see through his plans every time, so Xu Zishen didn't end up in the slightest.

The second trip to the south has also come to an end, which is a very good sign. Xie Ruzhuo proposed to reward the three armies and confer honors on several generals, but the cabinet and a group of civil officials could not find any reason to refute.

After going south for the first time, Xie Ruzhuo was promoted to the official position of the second-rank governor of Song Qingge. Like Pei Yuankai, this time he was awarded the honor of the second-rank Shangguard. In 50 years, only Xu Zishen had received this honor.

Yue Tingchuan and Wu Xianying were awarded honors from the third-rank captain of Qingche, and they were divided into the three major battalions, the fifth military battalion and the three thousand battalion commander-in-chief.

This time, Xie Ruzhuo finally let Shen Ci's achievements be shown in front of others. He issued the military order, and the final victory was also obtained according to his plan. Xie Ruzhuo's award list is followed by Shen Ci, who was awarded the honorary fifth. Pin Xiao Cavalry Captain.

The next day, Xie Ruzhuo issued an order to transfer Shen to resign as the governor of the Fifth Army. The experience was the same. The Commander of the Commander was from the sixth grade, and here it was from the fifth grade. It became a virtual place without real power, and the real power to control the generals went to the Ministry of War and the various guards below.Since then, all the official positions in the five-army governor's mansion have been used by the emperor to promote meritorious generals, such as Pei Yuankai and Song Qingge.

Therefore, the ministers understood that the emperor wanted to use Shen Ci completely, and it was true.

Three days later, Xie Ruzhuo made another decree that Shen resigned as the battalion officer of the three major battalions and the fifth military battalion, replacing An Qin who was transferred to Jiyuan County.

The rebuilding of the three major battalions was finally on the right track after the beginning of spring. Xie Ruzhuo has been very busy since the army returned to court. Shen Ci has never found a chance to ask about the kit. This imperial decree came down again, so he had to hand it over first. They all commanded the official affairs of the envoys, and went to the three major battalions to find their current Shangguan Yue Tingchuan Yingmao.

But Xie Ruzhuo still couldn't stay idle. The Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion each had commanders in charge, but there was always a need for one person to lead the Three Battalions, so the court and the Central Committee began to discuss the candidates for the admirals of the three battalions.

Sun Bingde said: "At the time of Tai Zu, the minister of the Ministry of War supervised the three major battalions, but he didn't ask about daily affairs, and only inspected them once every few months. Follow the example of Tai Zu and take the Minister of the Ministry of War as the admiral."

The minister of the Ministry of War is Han Zhen. At this time, the topic is on him. He keeps silent to avoid suspicion, but the other cabinet ministers have obviously discussed with Sun Bingde the countermeasures.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials Yu Liangqian said: "Your Majesty wants to rebuild the three major battalions, and the ministers also agree very much, but the three major battalions are the garrisons in the capital after all, and they should not be left lightly. The military generals are going out, and they are all accompanied by civilian officials, so the three major battalions cannot be composed of only warriors. Regardless, there is nothing wrong with sending civil servants and admirals from the court."

The remaining members of the cabinet stood up one by one to second the proposal, and then the ministers of the six ministries and officials followed suit.

After the courtiers finished seconding and began to wait for the emperor to speak, Xie Ruzhuo, who had been drooping his eyelids, raised his black eyes, and let go of the hand supporting his head. There was no smile on his face. Obviously, he was not interested in this proposal. dissatisfied.

For other matters, Xie Ruzhuo might act with this group of people to pretend that the monarch and his subjects are in harmony, but this matter cannot be discussed.

He would not agree to let the Minister of the Ministry of War go to the three major battalions to be admirals.

The decline of the three major battalions is nothing but once there is a sign of rejuvenation, it will inevitably become a piece of meat and potatoes. Everyone wants to insert some of their own people into the garrison in the capital, especially the civil servants.

If the emperor and a group of his trusted generals were to completely control the three battalions, the camp in the capital would undergo drastic changes in the future, which was undoubtedly what they did not want to see.

The Ministry of War has the greatest relationship with the military, which is why Sun Bingde actually doesn't like Han Zhen's talent but still wants him to be Minister of the Ministry of War, because Han Zhen is the most obedient and naturally the most trusted by Sun Bingde.

Part of the reason for Xie Ruzhuo's involvement in this matter was that he wanted to continue to contend with the civil servants, and the bigger reason was out of public interest.

The three major battalions are the last line of defense in the capital, and they are also the army that should be pruned the most in their hands now. They should let truly capable generals hold important positions, and let truly talented and courageous officials lead them, instead of being reduced to fighting for power. After a year or two, the three major battalions gradually declined in the chaotic internal strife, and then repeated the humiliation of the fall of Kyoto.

"I remember that Han Qing was originally in the Ministry of Industry, and later changed to the Ministry of War, and it didn't take long." Xie Ruzhuo's voice was as light as his eyes, and he slowly glanced at the cabinet members, "Han Qing is not familiar with military affairs. , I am afraid that the Admiral's three battalions will be inconvenient."

Han Zhen's complexion was not so good-looking in an instant. The emperor said this in front of civil and military officials, and he was short of telling the world that Han Zhen was incompetent and not worthy to be Minister of the Ministry of War. , had to rely on lifelong self-cultivation to force down the feelings of dissatisfaction.

The ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, but they had already turned dozens of thoughts in their minds, knowing that this time the emperor and the cabinet had to grind again.

Sun Bingde didn't look at Xie Ruzhuo either, he closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be in a relaxed mood, and asked, "Then is there anyone in your Majesty's mind?"

"I'm not saying that the ancestral system is not good," Xie Ruzhuo calmed down a bit, not wanting to really turn upside down with the civil servants again, which is not good for anyone, "I just think that the time is different, and the method should be different. Isn’t the big camp not supervised by the minister of the Ministry of War?”

Sun Bingde's eyebrows jumped slightly, he raised his eyelids and stared at Xie Ruzhuo coldly: "Does Your Majesty want to use eunuchs?"

As soon as this remark came out, Han Zhen couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the disaster of the eunuchs has only passed for more than twenty years, and the cause is that the eunuchs have too much power, not only manipulating the government, but also fighting back Hold the military power, Your Majesty, think twice."

All the ministers also turned pale with shock, and echoed one after another.

After Emperor Taizong, the admirals of the three major camps were no longer necessarily ministers of the Ministry of War, or in other words, most of the time they had nothing to do with the civil servants.Because the emperor has a more trusted person-the eunuch.

Although it has become customary for the imperial court to send Da Dang to supervise the army when there is a war, this is almost all the eunuchs can contact with the military forces. It reached its peak, and finally caused the disaster of eunuchs during the Xizong Dynasty.

Just now Xie Ruzhuo said that not all the three major camps were supervised by the minister of the Ministry of War after Emperor Taizong, and the implication was that the emperor wanted to follow the example of the previous emperors and let the eunuchs go.

But now the only eunuch that the emperor can send with confidence is He Xiaoman. Acceptable, if he still has the power to supervise the three battalions in his hands, this will cross the line of defense in the minds of civil servants.

It is understandable that the emperor can trust eunuchs, but it cannot threaten the interests of civil servants.

If the civil servants missed the sweet pastry of the three camps, the eunuchs would never get their hands on it.

Of course Xie Ruzhuo understood what they were thinking, and shook his head with a smile: "I didn't say that, it was Zhuqing's own imagination."

The four big characters "None of my business" were written on that face. Sun Bingde glanced at him and asked, "Then what is your majesty's decision on this matter? The generals of the three major battalions have begun to reorganize the battalions. For training, Your Majesty should have appointed an admiral earlier."

Looking at the court, it is too difficult to choose a civil servant who has no selfishness in the matter of the three battalions, understands military affairs, and needs to be of the same rank, but if the matter is pending, it is uncertain how the cabinet will toss, Xie Ruzhuo let out a foul breath , lazily said: "I just wanted to say that there was a precedent for Emperor Taizong to have the three battalions supervised by the censor and admiral. Since the court can't choose a more suitable candidate, it is better to let the left capital censor Tang Hechun be the admiral for the time being." How are you?"

The censor of Zuodu is on the same level as the six ministers, all of them are of the second rank. Tang and Chun are now veterans of the three dynasties, and their qualifications are older than Sun Bingde. He's a nice guy.

In Xie Ruzhuo's mind, this is not a good candidate, but he can make do with it. In the minds of civil servants, Tang Hechun is not the best candidate, but he is better than He Xiaoman. Therefore, all the officials agreed to the emperor's proposal after a long silence. This is neither a good nor a bad result.

The rebuilding of the three camps finally came to an end, Xie Ruzhuo was exhausted physically and mentally from the rumors until now, and discussed with the ministers about improving the firearms of the Fanshenji camp, and then retreated back to the palace.

In the afternoon, Xie Ruzhuo went to Shishan Pavilion to take an exam for Xie Mingting's homework. He was busy these few days, so he came to ask Du Ruo a few words and then left. If he has free time today, he can't let him go.

Xie Ruzhuo did a random check of "The Great Learning", and he could barely memorize the second half of the new study. Among them, the classics and meanings can also be said to be ugly, but the first half is not so satisfactory.

"The so-called sincerity, don't self-deceive yourself. It's like a bad smell, like, like... If you're lustful, it's called... uh..." Xie Mingting stuttered to this point, already I couldn't recite it at all, and didn't dare to look up at Xie Ruzhuo, so I could only bury my head deeply and rack my brains to recall the content.

"Don't worry about it." Xie Ruzhuo put down the scroll, his face turned cold, "After learning it, I forgot the first thing, and I can't remember this little thing? How can I learn other things in the future?"

Xie Mingting muttered in a very low voice: "I just can't remember..."

"Then recite it a few more times for me!" Xie Ruzhuo rolled up the book and tapped his head twice, "Don't you just complete today's homework and you're done, can't you read the book? Learn the new by reviewing the past, haven't you learned it?"

Xie Mingting lowered his head and wrung his hands, not daring to speak, but his mouth was raised high, showing that he was not convinced and felt aggrieved.

"If you were born in an ordinary family, you can play as you like, and I don't ask you to learn anything." Xie Ruzhuo became more and more angry, "Xie Mingting, but you have to understand that you were born in an emperor's family, this is what you have to endure. Yes, if you don’t like it, you have to learn from me!”

Xie Mingting heard what Xie Ruzhuo said, and became more and more stubborn in silence.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, Du Ruo, who had been on the sidelines and did not dare to intervene, sighed, her voice was still gentle as usual: "His Royal Highness has been studying very seriously recently, and he has made great progress compared to before. Don't be too impatient, Your Highness. At a young age, it's inevitable that you don't understand many principles, the more your Majesty pushes you harder, the more counterproductive it will be."

Of course Xie Ruzhuo understood, but seeing Xie Mingting who couldn't even memorize "University" was still angry. When he was seven or eight years old, he could recite it by heart after reading it three times, and he wouldn't forget it for several years. , Why came to Xie Mingting's place, it was like changing the book.

Seeing tears welling up in Xie Mingting's eyes, Xie Ruzhuo recalled that the two of them had gone farther and farther in their previous lives, and ended in a disastrous end, so he couldn't help but sighed too, and said: "I said something too harshly, I apologize."

Xie Mingting obviously took the easy way out and didn't take the hard way. Hearing this, his face was ashamed, he took two steps forward, grabbed Xie Ruzhuo's robe corner, and said softly: "I'm sorry, uncle, I was wrong..."

"Okay, okay, I won't force you." Xie Ruzhuo patted his head, "But you still have to study hard, and you can't be perfunctory. Uncle Huang knows you don't like reading, but this is our responsibility. You are not doing well now. If you do it, you will only be forced to do it by more people in the future, you know?"

Xie Mingting rubbed his eyes, nodded obediently, felt that Xie Ruzhuo was not so angry anymore, with a smile in his eyes, he moved forward again, boldly raised his head and said: "Uncle Emperor, you promised me before that if I If you do well, take me out to play. Uncle Huang came to the school to test his homework a few times before, and he said that I did well, but Uncle Huang never took me out to play..."

He is not good at reading, but he has a thick skin when he talks about going out to play. Xie Ruzhuo doesn't know whether he really thinks it's funny or if he's annoyed. .”

Xie Mingting shrank his head, pouted and only dared to peek at Xie Ruzhuo.

Du Ruo was also amused, and said: "Your Highness is really uncomfortable being bored in the palace all day at this age, in fact, it's good to go out and relax."

"Master Du is so kind." Xie Mingting ran over to rub Du Ruo with a smile, "Master Du, please help me persuade Uncle Huang."

Xie Ruzhuo and Du Ruo looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed, this little bastard is quite good at reading words.

"Where do you want to go?" Xie Ruzhuo asked, but in his heart he was thinking about where he was going to leave the palace, and he said the same thing, "Aren't you very interested in riding horses and archery, dancing with knives and guns? Shall I take you to the three camps?"

As expected, Xie Mingting's eyes lit up, and he ran back to Xie Ruzhuo's side again, nodded his head and said: "Okay, thank you, Uncle Huang!"

The next day, Xie Ruzhuo changed into the unicorn dark pattern stickers. The black windbreaker was pinned by a gold chain at the front of the skirt, which looked quite elegant. He took Xie Mingting, who was so happy as soon as he left the palace, to the three camps.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't make much fanfare, and didn't even say a word in advance, and went there impromptu. The three general officers rushed over, Xie Ruzhuo sent them away after exchanging a few words of greeting, and said to Xie Mingting: "Go and play by yourself, I want Go see someone."

"Uncle, who are you going to meet?" Xie Mingting arrived at a novel place, looked left and right to see if he was happy or not, but still remembered that the joy now was due to the kindness of the uncle, and said in a childish voice, "I'll be with you .”

Xie Ruzhuo poked his face and smiled slyly: "Go see your aunt."

"Ah? Aunt...Aunt?" Xie Mingting's expression was like thunder, and he was dragged away by Xie Ruzhuo staggeringly.

He had already asked Yue Tingchuan before, saying that Shen Ci was watching the training of the soldiers, Xie Ruzhuo had been here a lot in his previous life, so he didn't let anyone lead the way, and he took Xie Mingting all the way to the school field cheerfully.

The soldiers' shouting sounded in my ears, Xie Ruzhuo pulled a passing battalion, the man didn't know him, didn't know that he was the emperor, and looked at him very blankly.

"Are you from the Fifth Army Battalion?" Xie Ruzhuo asked, the battalion team nodded, and he pointed to the school grounds, "Call your battalion officers over."

The battalion looked like honest people, even though they were puzzled, they turned around subconsciously, and Xie Ruzhuo looked like he was not an ordinary person, he didn't dare to be negligent, and ran away to call for someone.

After a while, Xie Mingting raised his head and saw the person walking towards him, his eyes widened instantly, he didn't raise his breath, his eyes turned into dead fish eyes, and he said dumbfounded: "Aunt, aunt, aunt..." The visitor was puzzled He glanced at him carefully, saluted respectfully, he finally caught his breath, patted his stuffy chest, and smiled with guilt, "Shen, Shen experience."

This Xie Mingting fell into doubt and confusion about life, while the other Xie Ruzhuo had no sense of guilt, smiled sweetly to himself, and stared at Shen Ci intently.

The army is still at the back, Xie Ruzhuo has never been so close to Shen Ci before, and they have been separated for nearly three months before, and they have been thinking about it day and night, and now their eyes are hot.

It has just entered March these two days, and the temperature outside is warming up quickly. Shen Ci's face is covered with sweat, and beads of sweat slide from his chin to his neck. When Shen Ci's Adam's apple moves, the crystal beads of sweat continue to slide down along his Adam's apple, rolling into the collar.

For some reason, Xie Ruzhuo's face turned red and his ears turned red as the drops of sweat slid over his Adam's apple, and a bunch of messy pictures flooded into his mind. He coughed lightly and said, "Ming, Ming Ting, go play by yourself. I have something to tell Shen and Shen about his experience."

Xie Mingting was still in a daze, and nodded stiffly when he heard the words: "Oh, good." When he ran away, he tripped over his left foot and tripped over his right foot, looking dizzy.

Shen Ci saw that the smile on Xie Ruzhuo's mouth was very pure, a bit like him when he was 11 years old, his heart skipped a few beats, and he forgot to speak for a moment, and finally Xie Ruzhuo said first: "The prince insists on coming out to play, I will Stop by the three camps to have a look."

Xie Ruzhuo said, "I didn't come here to see you", but his face turned even redder. Shen Ci also coughed, hiding the urge to laugh, and nodded, "Well, it's good that I'm here."

"...Oh." Xie Ruzhuo couldn't put it on any longer, so he simply broke the can, raised his eyebrows and showed a playful smile, "I lied to you. General Shen, I came here to see you." Seeing Shen Ci's eyelids twitch, He became playful and leaned closer, Shen Ci's hot breath enveloped him, and the faint smile in his peach eyes was tinged with frivolity, "Because I miss you."

This distance is too short, Shen Ci can see Xie Ruzhuo's slightly trembling eyelashes when he lowers his eyes. Sweating, it was the time when the body was the hottest and uncomfortable. Being teased like this, I felt the blood rushing up, and the deep eyes were darker than usual, like a wolf patrolling the territory it owns.

Shen Ci looked as usual, his lips were slightly close to Xie Ruzhuo's ears, and his deep and hoarse voice had a bewitching numbness: "I also miss your Majesty very much."

Xie Ruzhuo didn't expect that Shen Ci would turn around and make him feel embarrassed and want to escape, his face was as red as a drunk, he took three steps back before he could stand still, and glared at the culprit.

Little did he know that he was like a little rabbit that was eaten up and wiped clean and pretended to be sad. Shen Ci suppressed the dangerous possessive desire in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty forgive me, I offended you."

I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing to hold on to this matter again, Xie Ruzhuo put on a serious expression again, and said: "I haven't congratulated General Shen on his victory yet."

Shen Ci also came back to his senses, took out the kit that had been kept next to him, and said: "I want to ask Your Majesty, how can His Majesty calculate what is said in the kit?"

Xie Ruzhuo had already prepared for this question. He guessed that Shen Ci would come to ask him, and said calmly: "Scholar Du is knowledgeable and talented, and he knows everything about astronomy and geography. Before going to the expedition, I went to check the prince's homework. Miscellaneous studies. It happened that you were going south, so I asked Xueshi Du about the situation in the Qingmu River area. It was Xueshi Du who told me that the north wind blows too early this year, and it may be a rare and severe winter. The northern Xinjiang area is cold every year , the impact is not big, but the Qingmu River area will have a great impact. The river may freeze thickly, which is different from previous years. I want you to pay attention. At first I thought that maybe you should return to the court as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, I I felt that the freezing of the river could also be a good opportunity, so I had this plan in mind.”

Shen Ci carefully observed every change in Xie Ruzhuo's expression, and did not see from his face that he was lying unnaturally. When he was frowning, Xie Mingting, who was being taken for a ride on a horse, laughed happily and said loudly : "Master Du is amazing. He knows a lot of things. He can also guess how the grain harvests in the north and south will be this year. I really like Master Du!"

Xie Ruzhuo let out a "tss" and replied, "You like Master Du because he helped you talk!"

"That's not it!" Xie Mingting chuckled, immersed in the joy of riding a horse again.

Du Ruo is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and indeed has dabbled in astronomy, geography, and farming. Xie Mingting echoed in this way, and Shen Ci frowned even tighter. He felt that this did not seem to be colluding to cheat, but he still couldn't dispel his doubts.

The rebirth was too shocking, and it took him a long time to accept this fact. Without being sure whether Xie Ruzhuo was also reborn, asking directly might be regarded as a lunatic.

Shen Ci looked at Xie Ruzhuo who was still smiling before him, he overlapped and separated from his previous appearance, hazy.

In the previous life, the two loved silently and tenderly, and quarreled constantly, and finally parted in a heavy rain mixed with blood. He died at the age of 30, but he didn't know what happened to Xie Ruzhuo afterwards.

Do you marry a wife and have children like every emperor, and forget a person named Shen Ci for the rest of your life, or you are lonely like him sitting on the dragon chair, eating alone, sleeping alone, and in a daze alone, occasionally When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, on the days when the rain is pouring, I think of a person who has accompanied him for ten years, and now his soul has disappeared.

Shen Ci didn't know all of this, and was afraid of knowing.

The ending of their previous lives is a painful memory for everyone. He remembered Xie Ruzhuo's incoherent begging when he hugged him, and he remembered his resolute indifference when he pushed Xie Ruzhuo away. Three years later, he only sent his ashes back to Xie Ruzhuo's side. Nothing was left.

In this new life, has Xie Ruzhuo lived again at this time, and what is his intention now when he is close to him?

From past life to present life is too long.

Who dares to say that the strong love in the yellowed and old memory has not faded at all after passing through life and death, and their hearts are still the same as before.

"Your Majesty..." Shen Ci's heart was stuffy, and his voice sounded even hoarse, "In the future, if the minister broke his promise to His Majesty, will His Majesty hate him?"

Xie Ruzhuo was watching Xie Mingting, who was playing like crazy, and squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and thought for a long time before saying: "It depends on what you broke your promise."

"If it is... I promised His Majesty that I will always protect you, but I will not be by your side one day."

Xie Ruzhuo turned his head abruptly, staring at Shen Ci, his right hand clenched into a fist and trembling slightly, he was like a fish out of fresh water, he couldn't breathe through his mouth and nose, and his breathing was a little faster than usual.

In that heavy rain, Shen Ci turned around and left. On a snowy day, he took over the small celadon altar from the lieutenant general. In countless dark nights, he closed his eyes and waited for Shen Ci to come and see him in his dreams...

These memories just flashed in his mind, but his throat felt as if he was about to choke sweet blood, and his heart was so painful that it felt like thousands of needles had been pricked.

In his previous life, Shen Ci would sometimes ask him this way, if he was gone one day and couldn't protect him, would he be sad or resentful?

He didn't know what kind of pain it was at that time, he just said, I will feel sorry for you, and then try to forget you.

But in the 17 years of his remaining life, he never forgot Shen Ci at all. The pain and longing accumulated day by day, torturing him almost to the point of madness.

Shen Ci asked him this again in this life, he bit his lower lip, leaving a little red on the peak of his lips, and said word by word: "Shen Ci...if this is the case... I will hate you, even if I am a ghost in my next life... Let you go..."

Xie Ruzhuo's reaction was very intense, Shen Ci saw it, which meant that he still cared about himself now, and when he heard him say such childish and cruel words, Shen Ci smiled silently, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

The warm sun of early spring fell on Xie Ruzhuo's thin shoulders, the corners of his eyes were red, and his eyes were downcast with sadness. Shen Ci stretched out his hand to touch him, but retracted halfway, and only said softly: "I'm sorry, didn't you mean to That's what I said. The minister will not break his promise, and will always be by His Majesty's side."

Xie Ruzhuo didn't speak, but said in his heart: Yes, maybe one day you will leave again.

Shen Ci closed his eyes and sighed silently, seeing the fragility in Xie Ruzhuo's eyebrows, he suddenly didn't want to ask anything, and didn't want to explore anything further.

Even if the person in front of him is Xie Ruzhuo who has been reborn for the first time, so what?

Spread the painful ending of the previous life in front of each other again, or force each other to forget those bad memories, and start from scratch pretending nothing happened?

Shen Ci laughed at himself, it's not a bad thing to be so hazy now.

Xie Ruzhuo calmed down from the turbulent emotions, did not mention the small waves just now, looked at the orderly training soldiers on the school field, and asked, "How is the [-] Battalion? Can Wu Xianying still handle it?"

"There is no problem for the time being." Shen Ci also turned his eyes away, "But your Majesty should be clear that the [-] Battalion was initially composed of [-] Beidi cavalry recruited by Tai Zu. The Beidi people are the main ones, but their combat power is stronger than that of the Fifth Army Battalion. They are the elite among the elite. Now the Three Thousand Battalion has lost its advantage. Good cavalry."

What Shen Ci said was first to remind Xie Ruzhuo to pay attention to the [-] Battalion, and second to say that Wu Xianying is fine for the time being, but his strength cannot build such a cavalry, and he will have to replace it sooner or later. Shen Cigao, Shen Ci is too embarrassed to speak directly in front of the emperor.

"Then who do you think can lead the [-] Battalions?" Xie Ruzhuo asked again.

"Everyone knows that Beidi's cavalry is the best at fighting. To train the [-] battalion of cavalry to be like Beidi's cavalry, this person must be familiar with the combat advantages of Beidi's cavalry." Shen Ci shook his head, "There is no such candidate in the court for the time being."

Although Wu Xianying has been with Wu Xianrong in Xishan for several years, he is so talented that he is destined to be inferior to Wu Xianrong. Even if he knows the Beidi cavalry, he cannot train a cavalry of comparable strength.

"Then let's talk about it." Xie Ruzhuo was not in a hurry, as if he knew it well, "Except for the Three Thousand Battalion, the Shenji Battalion was invincible in the past, but later the national treasury was empty and could not afford the improvement and consumption of firearms. The firearms are outdated, but unfortunately the imperial court still can’t spend money to modify the firearms.” He sighed, “The lack of money is the most important thing to solve.”

"Suifang's annual tax revenue ranks last in Dayu territory. The climate here is bitter and cold, there is not much food to grow, the border has always been unstable, and business travel is less than in previous years." Shen Ci saw that he was worried about state affairs again. , and felt uncomfortable, "We still have to fight south. There are thousands of miles of fertile land in Jiangbei, Jiangnan, and central Sichuan. There are tens of millions of wealthy households. By then, the treasury will have money."

Xie Ruzhuo heard that he wanted to use war to help him solve the problem, smiled, and said: "No hurry, wait a little longer, we can go to our allies to borrow some money."

Shen Ci didn't say anything anymore, afraid that he would make himself harder by thinking about such things.

The two stood on the sidelines of the school grounds and watched the soldiers training together, watching Xie Mingting pester several generals to teach horse riding and archery, occasionally chatting in a low voice, and spent more than an hour like this.

Seeing that it was time to have lunch after returning to the palace, Xie Ruzhuo called Xie Mingting away, and both uncle and nephew achieved their goal of going out, and walked away together with smiles on their faces.

In the afternoon when He Xiaoman came to deliver the memorial, Xie Ruzhuo murmured: "Actually, apart from Shen Ci, there is no one in the three major battalions. Behind Yue Tingchuan is an intricate and complex family force. After all, we can't get too close. Not to mention Wu Xianying, certainly not Listen to me. When selecting generals, the Ministry of War selects people according to the rules, and this group of people may not accept my favor." He gave a "tsk" and said annoyedly, "Those civil officials are still afraid that I will hold the three major battalions and call the wind and rain. , do I have the ability?"

He Xiaoman knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and immediately said: "The three major battalions will be expanded, and there will be a few vacancies for generals at that time. Your Majesty can fill in whoever you want."

"But I'm not familiar with generals in the court, and I have to avoid Sun Bingde..." Xie Ruzhuo habitually knocked on the table with his fingertips, "Banban, you should go find the second son of Song. There is Song Qingge, the elder brother, who is in Beijing. There are still some contacts among the generals, and Jin Yiwei himself has many private connections, so he can help."

He Xiaoman's expression became unnatural in an instant, and he asked: "Lord Wei is also in line with what His Majesty said, so why not just go to Lord Wei directly?"

"Aren't you very familiar with Song Qinglai?" Xie Ruzhuo looked innocently, and stepped forward to embrace his shoulders, "Banban, look, I am also treating you well. You go to tie the line, and these people will accept your love in the future , what a wonderful thing."

He Xiaoman was extremely helpless, thinking that Xie Ruzhuo did it on purpose, but he didn't have any real evidence.

"Not familiar, we are not familiar at all." He Xiaoman said, "Why does Your Majesty think that slaves are familiar with Song Qianhu?"

Xie Ruzhuo patted him on the shoulder: "You guys know each other well, so you don't need to hide it."

He Xiaoman: "..."

An hour later, He Xiaoman sat in Qingpingfang with a cold face, with cloudy eyes, and asked Wan Lian behind him, "Where did Song Qing go?"

Wan Lian realized that the governor was in a bad mood, and replied cautiously: "This subordinate personally went to Beizhen Fusi to find someone. Song Qianhu really went out of the city for business, and Feng Baihu said he would be back before nightfall."

He Xiaoman's face was reluctance, but his eyes were gloomy, "If you dare not come, you will die", Wan Lian shuddered, turned his eyes away wisely, and stared at the pedestrians downstairs outside the window .

The streets and alleys were brightly lit after a while, and it was already past meal time, Wan Lian called the waiter to serve some dishes first, but He Xiaoman didn't move his chopsticks, he covered his stomach, his face turned pale.

Wan Lian looked worried and said, "Master Du, would you like to eat something first?"

He Xiaoman shook his head, after a while, a waiter greeted the guests came from outside the private room, and when he heard the word "Song Qianhu", he immediately sat up straight, his eyes drooped slightly, and he put on an attitude of not getting close to strangers look.

Wan Lian: "..."

The sound of footsteps approached, and the carved wooden door was pushed open. Song Qinglai let out a naughty smile from the corners of his raised eyes, and said in an unshakable manner as soon as he came in: "Last time the governor took away the clothes of the humble official, and today I finally plan to talk to the humble official." Make it clear?"

He Xiaoman glanced at Song Qinglai, who looked like he had been running outside for a day, and he was silent, as if he was lazy to pay attention to this person.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, the governor has been waiting for a long time, don't be angry." Song Qinglai sat down with a smile, saw that there was wine on the table, poured himself a glass, "I punish myself with three glasses."

He Xiaoman's stomach was throbbing, he didn't want to eat anything anymore, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty asked me to come to you, do you have suitable candidates to recommend to the three camps?"

"Yes, yes." Song Qinglai drank three glasses of wine, and raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "But it's fine for your majesty to find my uncle directly, so there's no need for such twists and turns, right?"

He Xiaoman's pale face showed a little red, angry that he would not open which pot he was carrying, he gritted his teeth and said, "What? I can't find you anymore?"
