Late spring and early summer.

There is a military report from Longyou Road in the northwest.

Fufu and Lanzhu separated the two places to invade Dashi.The people of Dashi were overwhelmed by the disturbance, and the prince of Dashi, Kayan Moro, sent envoys to Bianjing for help.

After hearing this letter, Gu Xiuwen, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, made a decree for the sake of the common people all over the world, so he ordered the imperial conquest to help Dashi and save the people from the fire and water.

People in Bianjing, the capital city, are busy digging ice cellars for their homes and pickling candied fruit.

The mantis iron cavalry, which symbolizes the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, marched mightily under the leadership of King Gu Xiu.

Departing from the capital, with the momentum of leveling the nations, he went all the way westward to the Longyou border and joined the Longyou defenders to form a coalition army.

Everyone knows that this will be a protracted war.The continuous war will surely bring a more prosperous life to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, the Grand Tutor next to the emperor never did any business that lost money.

He can always find ways to multiply the money spent on the expedition ten times before earning it back.

After the king left Beijing, Prince Ning Yi Gu You served as the regent of the court, and the two uncles Kang Sheng and Yu Cheng assisted him.

The most important task of the three uncles and nephews every day is to supervise the reconstruction of the inner garden of the palace.

Rather than being a regent and supervising the country, it is better to say that they are three conscientious supervisors.

The drawings of Hanyuan Hall were drawn by Gu You staring at the officials of the Ministry of Industry day and night.

Every beam, every roof ridge, every brick and tile is exquisite.

The drawings of the Hanyuan Hall were complete, and the three princes could not even look at the slightly plain Xuanzheng Hall around them.

The blueprint of the Xuanzheng Hall was complete, but the three princes looked down on the simple Xingsheng Palace behind the Xuanzheng Hall.

The three of them almost hit it off when they looked at the table full of flat drawings.

Since the king is out of the palace for an expedition, it is better to take this opportunity to completely renovate and rebuild the palace left over from the previous dynasty.

Therefore, the three most respected princes of the royal family unanimously decided that Prince Ning Yi's House and the Ministry of Households would contribute funds, and Prince Yucheng and Kang Sheng's house would recruit workers.

Measure the area occupied by each palace, plan the garden landscape, renovate the palaces, dismantle and modify the Fengshui of the palaces and pavilions, overhaul the Prince's East Palace, and later the Qilin Palace dedicated to raising the emperor's grandchildren.

As soon as the overhaul of the palace started, the Ministry of Industry and Housekeeping was instantly busy.

The two newly-appointed masters of the Ministry of Industry were tidying up a few large sheets of drawings, chatting casually: "Brother Nian, what is this palace and pavilion used for? How come no one has touched it since His Majesty's new dynasty? "

"Oh, here? This is Fengyi Palace, which was supposed to be the residence of the Empress of the Central Palace. I did not set up the Central Palace in my reign, so since Mrs. Huining moved out of the palace, very few people opened it again."

"Your Majesty doesn't have a middle palace? Your Majesty has passed his thirties, how can he still have no middle palace?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have a middle palace? How can I remember that Your Majesty got married a few years ago?" Another person joined the conversation between the two: "Didn't it be said that the concubine personally selected her own girl? She secretly sent her to the palace. Otherwise, why would the Ministry of Rites ask for more than 100 large boxes containing official silver that year, isn’t that a dowry gift?”

"Where did you hear these rumors?" The other person quickly interrupted the doubts of the other party: "Didn't your majesty say a long time ago that for the prosperity of the Great Zhou, you will not marry or accept in this life. Besides, your majesty and Taifu Han have been married for many years. If you're not fighting abroad or you're busy implementing the New Deal, how can you have time to marry the middle palace?"

"That's right, it's enough for His Majesty to have Taifu Han by his side."

This sentence was recognized by everyone present.

It is enough to have Taifu Han beside the emperor.

It can make money, fight wars, and help raise children.

Only such a person can be by the side of this emperor who only thinks about his family, country, and people.

***

At this moment, the economical and affordable Grand Tutor, whom the ministers said was sitting in the big tent made of cowhide and alum, was holding a bowl of sauce-colored decoction, and the bowl in the hand of the king beside him was already empty. Leng Yi's facial features were also involuntarily tangled together.

"Chang Ru, can't you make your soup a little less unpalatable?" Han Mochu shook the medicine bowl in his hand, trying to delay the time to drink the medicine: "It's bitter, spicy and astringent, and I need two bowls a day." Unshakable, even a living person can't stand it?"

"Han Ziran, why is it that the older you get, the more you grind your teeth? But how can any medicine be delicious? I just went to deliver medicine to His Highness Yu Cheng, and he is not as talkative as you. Drink it quickly, and then you are busy with your work." , I'm busy with mine, do you think I'm willing to stand here and waste time with you?"

It was nearly June at the Longyou Pass, and there was little rain and wind and sand everywhere.No matter how good the food is here, it is mixed with soil. A bowl of rice is half a bowl of sand, and even the Xuanruan Hubing is crunchy when chewed.

Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. At night, it can make people tremble and their lips turn blue. At noon, the sun seems to be able to dry people out.

In order to prevent the soldiers of the king's army from being uncomfortable when they first arrived here, the genius doctor Su Changru led the military doctors to boil a decoction to neutralize the spleen and stomach, relieve heat and prevent wind, and dared not relax for a moment.

Because the journey of this personal expedition is too long and the battle line is too long, it will take at least two or three years to return to the capital Bianjing.

No matter what Su Che said, he refused to let Han Mochu go alone. From the beginning of preparations for the expedition, he began to pull, and strongly demanded to bring his little apprentice Pei Yiheng with him.

"In her whole life, she wants to inherit her father's career and practice medicine in the army like her father, so what's the matter with her? She has been studying with me for so many years. Compared with the military doctors who are currently serving in the army, I don't know how medical skills are." How much better! I am a good brother who is seven months and eight days older than you. I beg you for this one thing in this life! If you don’t agree, I will immediately tell Mr. Yi in a dream that you bullied me and let him sleep in my dream. teach you a lesson."

In the end, Han Mochu couldn't stand Su Che's nagging, so he agreed casually.

He got his wish and took his little apprentice Pei Yiheng to the battlefield together.

Han Mochu sighed, and drank the bowl of soup heroically.Then he quickly picked up a bowl of clear water and put it in his mouth, so that his poor tongue could be freed from the painful numbness.

Su Che glanced at the two empty bowls on the table in a hurry, put them back on the tray with satisfaction, and said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty, Taifu Han, I'm taking my leave."

After finishing speaking, he gave Pei Yiheng who was standing beside him carrying a medicine box another look: "Let's go, little Pei."

After Su Che left, Gu Xiu calmly and skillfully dug out a small packet of candied kumquats from the interlayer of the pen and ink case on the table, picked out a big one, and stuffed it into Han Mochu's mouth, further saving him from suffering from the bowl of soup and medicine. To the numb tongue.

"Zi Ran, are you feeling better?" Gu Xiu calmly put the small bag containing candied fruit back.

"Fortunately, it's much better." Han Mochu put the tough candied fruit in his mouth, and the sweetness and sourness of the candied fruit was completely eliminated. "However, it seems that the candied fruit that His Majesty hid was given to Yu Cheng by Aunt Wu before leaving, right?"

"Well, I hid half of it." Gu Xiu solemnly fiddled with the small flagpole stuck on the map on the desktop: "My child, eating so many candied fruit will break your teeth."

While the monarch and his ministers were chatting, there was a stammering communication from outside the king's tent: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Master Taifu... The scout who explored the road has returned."

It was Xiong Hu's voice.

Mr. Xiong Hu, who has been promoted to the third-rank enemy-slashing general by virtue of his military exploits, insists on standing outside the king's tent as a guard holding a sword as long as he follows the king on the battlefield.

Rain or shine, cold and heat, and three shifts a day, he can stand at least two and a half.

If it wasn't that he couldn't bear it anymore, he would never leave Gu Xiuzhang half a step away.

"Allow him to come in." Gu Xiu in the tent responded.

The curtain was raised, and a young soldier who was wrapped in wind and sand walked in along the curtain.

The sky outside the tent was khaki, and the moment the curtain was lifted, people and sand were swept in by the wind.

The scout who answered was named Li Fu, who lived in Minzhou, Longyou, and was conscripted into the army in the third year of Yongding.

Gu Xiu has always disliked red tape, so after arriving at the border this time, he made a rule that in the future, when there are military reports from the front line, the sender does not need to salute, so as not to delay the military situation.

When Li Fu entered the door, he only gave a brief salute to the monarch and his ministers, and then went straight to the topic: "I have explored more than 230 miles on the road in the past few days, and I have entered the territory of Dashi. The border of Dashi is exactly as the envoy came. Yan is fighting. There are at least four countries participating in this battle. In addition to Fufu and Lanzhu, there are Anxi and Chongshan. The Dashi officers and soldiers in the east have killed the enemy regardless of the enemy. In addition, there are at least a hundred Dashi in the border area The caravan tried to take advantage of the chaos and flee to our territory, but was blocked by the scuffle. The goods worth tens of thousands of gold were either buried in the soil or looted by bandits. The merchant group that was going to trade in Dashi was also blocked by the scuffle , the road posts along the way were invaded, and the road post merchants stationed in our court were also injured by the scuffle. According to the end of the investigation, there were at least 120 people."

After Li Fu's transmission was over, Gu Xiu supported the sand table in front of him without saying a word.

Han Mochu waved his hand, signaling Li Fu to step back and rest first.

When there was no one in the tent again, Han Mochu put his hands on Gu Xiu's shoulders: "Your Majesty is feeling sorry for those 120 post officials?"

"Since Ziran knows, why bother to ask again? Originally, the king's army came here to establish prestige and pave the way for my people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who would have thought that my Great Zhou Iron Cavalry is here, and I can't even do a little bit of deterrence , The military rebellion of the Four Kingdoms blatantly destroyed our Dazhou road station and killed our merchant officials. It seems that the previous Anxi rebels did not alert them at all." Gu Xiu thumped the wooden frame of the sand table: "Zi Ran asked me how? not angry?"

"Don't be impatient, Your Majesty. Since it is Kayan Mora, the prince of Dashi, who begged the state to come, His Majesty is here to save the people of the world. Whether it is the people of Dashi, the people of Futu, or the people of Lanzhu, they can all be in the future. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the four kingdoms are in a melee, the Dashi royal family can’t control it, so His Majesty can go and manage it for him.” Han Mochu’s mouth curled into a warm smile: “It’s not impossible for Your Majesty to be the overlord on this map of all nations. "
