In the past few days, Su Ce has sorted out the chores in Anbei. Su Ce is at home with his wife, children and children. The peaceful days are always short-lived.
On the first day of November, Su Ce put on his armor early in the morning.
Su Ce took twelve young guards aged fifteen or sixteen to Beiyuan Jian Zhang Supervisor to report.
When we arrived at the Jianzhang Supervisor, the old coach Li Sizhe was directing the Jianzhang Supervisors to practice military formations on a wooden platform next to the school grounds. Six hundred Jianzhang Supervisors stood solemnly on the earth platform next to them.
After Su Ce arrived, the commander-in-chief waved his hand from a distance. Su Ce did not approach the commander-in-chief, but just watched from the side of the school field to watch the guards.
This Jianzhang supervisor escaped from Beiyuan and came from the same origin as the Yulin Army. A large number of elite soldiers are in Yulin. These Yulin orphans have lived in Zhechong Mansion, which belongs to each Yulin Army, from childhood to adulthood.
Before the age of twelve, they were raised by the Zhechong Prefecture of the Habayashi Army. After the age of twelve, they underwent formal fubing training, which took two years longer than other fu soldiers. Therefore, these fu soldiers of the Zhechong Prefecture to which the Yulin Army belongs, All the troops in the army are very greedy.
However, most of these elite soldiers eventually joined the Yulin Army. After all, they were direct descendants of the Saint. Although the armies were greedy, they did not dare to compete with the Saint for troops.
Therefore, each army's subordinates cultivated their own direct descendants, and military leaders came into being. When the old commander finished demonstrating the command of the military formation, Jiansheng Jiansheng took over.
The old marshal spared some time and beckoned Su Ce to go with him to the Jian Zhang Supervisory Office. Su Ce submitted the transfer order from the Ministry of War. The old marshal asked his subordinate Jian Zhanglang to take Su Ce's transfer order and write the appointment documents.
The old commander and Su Ce were chatting about the duties of the Jian Zhang Supervisor. The Jian Zhang Supervisor has three duties, namely, being in charge of military discipline, practicing military formations, and guarding the palace.
There wasn't much to do with Jianzhang Supervisor and Guards. During the military formation drill, Yuchi Fahui, the captain of Jianzhang Supervisor Zhechong Mansion, took the rest of the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion to join Jianzhang Supervisor and Guards to form a partial division of 3,600 people.
Only two battalions are needed to guard the prison. It is Su Ce's job to be in charge of military discipline, but no one who can join the Jianzhang Prison will violate military discipline. Su Ce, the Jianzhang Captain, should actually be a sinecure. But Su Ce was also happy to have some leisure time.
The old coach Li Sizhe also deliberately found Su Ce this leisurely job.
Today is different from the past. Su Ce is now the commander of the Northern Army. It is somewhat inappropriate to serve in the Northern and Southern Governments. Therefore, after the old commander Li Sizhe gave Su Ce a box of military documents, he sent Su Ce back to Chang'an. If there is a supervisor, If military law is violated, the commander-in-chief only needs to send Yi Jianzhanglang to deal with it.
Su Ce was also happy. Su Ce had indeed not spent much time with his family these years when he was away from home. Although the old coach didn't say it, Su Ce understood that at his age and status, it was no longer the time to be competitive. The right thing to do was to keep a low profile and bide his time. thing.
After having a meal with the old coach Li Sizhe at noon, Su Ce returned to Chang'an with his bodyguard.
When Su Ce took off his armor after returning home, Li Chang said from the side: "Alang, the Sixteenth Prince's Palace sent an invitation this morning!"
Su Ce hesitated and asked, "Second prince?"
Li Chang nodded, and then said: "Donggong also sent an invitation this afternoon!"
Su Ce put the armor in his hand on the wooden stand, frowned and asked, "On the same day?"
Li Chang nodded with a bitter look on his face. Su Ce looked at Li Chang's face. Even Li Chang knew the difficulty, let alone Su Ce.
Nowadays, the saint is permanently stationed in the Nanshan Palace. This time, the five supervisors and one of the nine temples also followed him to the palace. Three provinces and six ministries are left in Chang'an City to assist the government. The crown prince's authority will further increase and he will become the great king.
However, the king of Shu, Zhao Zaixiao, who had been somewhat silent in recent years, lived in the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion and did not become a vassal. Moreover, the sage also re-entrusted the Peony Guards to the king of Shu, Zhao Zaixiao.
Before Su Ce returned to Chang'an, these two people had not invited Su Ce to the banquet. Now that they have sent invitations to Su Ce at this time, there are many things to say.
"Has anything big happened in Chang'an recently?" Su Ce asked.
Li Chang thought for a moment and said: "The third prince has returned to Chang'an!"
Su Ce frowned and calculated the time in his mind. This year is the fifteenth year of Longsheng. Su Ce is twenty-three years old. Prince Zhao Zaicheng is one year older than Su Ce. King Zhao Zaicheng of Shu is two years old and younger Su Ce. Twenty-one years old, three years old. Prince Zhao Zaibiao was two years old and now nineteen years old.
According to Daqian's practice, a twenty-year-old prince is crowned king.
Now that the third prince has returned to Chang'an, he should be crowned king.
Speaking of the third prince and the fourth prince, the reputation of these two is no less than that of the two elder brothers. They rarely leave Chang'an and sit in Jinling, stabilizing coastal defense, dredging canals, and promoting commerce. Although it is likely that they were instructed by saints, the two princes Guarding Jinling is a fact.
The names of the three princes resounded throughout half of the country in the south of Daqian. The south was stable and the north of Daqian was worry-free. Even Su Ce had often heard of their reputations in Hangzhou.
But even so, Su Ce did not intend to attend the banquet, and Su Ce did not intend to accept the two invitations.
"Let out the wind, I'm feeling the cold, so I'm going to lie down and rest!" Su Ce couldn't tell the truth now. As the leader of the Northern Army, Su Ce cautiously chose to get away and wait and see.
"Here!" As the housekeeper of the mansion, Li Chang naturally understood the meaning of Su Ce's words.
The prince and the king of Shu learned about Su Ce's choice almost at the same time. Although they were a little unhappy, they did not hold grudges. They also felt the same feeling of being in their position and having no control over their own actions.
Speaking of which, the prince's brothers, who share the same father and mother, have a very good relationship.
It's just that the King of Shu is not just a vassal, the people in the King's Palace of Shu have the idea of going further, and as soon as the idea arises, they are out of control.
Nowadays, the subordinate officials of the Prince of Shu have attracted a group of officials from the DPRK and the Central Government. The prince supervises the affairs of the country. These officials of the Prince of Shu are lining up to find fault with the political affairs handled by the prince. Although it is not said to be nitpicking, they are looking for bones in the eggs. Things happen from time to time.
The King of Shu was busy with the affairs of the Peony Internal Guard, and had not conquered for three years. The Peony Internal Guard now turned his energy back to the country. Many things that had been going on for hundreds of years were hidden under the war, and now they have all been revealed. The King of Shu dealt with these things every day. If you sit here all day long, how can you have time to manage the Prince of Shu's palace?
Those officials were also bewitched by the subordinate officials of the King of Shu, which made the meeting between the prince and the King of Shu extremely embarrassing.
In the East Palace, the King of Shu was busy with a lot of his own affairs, and several officials needed to be dismissed. The Peony Guards failed to show up, so the King of Shu, Zhao Zaixiao, came to the Crown Prince with the list and asked the Crown Prince to deal with it.
"Put it down. Now we have almost caught all the borers in the country. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Let's put it down first. A few days ago, the assassination of Bo Suce in Jingyang County has been found out." Prince Zhao Zaicheng After using a red pen to draw the inscription on the fold, he handed it to the King of Shu. He shook his neck while talking, and his stiff neck made a clicking sound.
After Zhao Zaixiao, the king of Shu, read the prince's manuscripts, he put them on the prince's desk and said angrily: "I don't know what my father is thinking. He made me a king and refused to let me become a vassal. He even sent Peony to the inner guard. Leave it to me, I can’t even think about living a happy life!”
Prince Zhao Zaicheng saw the King of Shu acting mischievously, and laughed and scolded: "Don't act like a good boy when you get an advantage. Let you, the imperial official of the King of Shu, live in peace and find trouble for me all day long."
"I can't touch the subordinate officials arranged by my father. I don't know if my father has something wrong in his spare time and has forced the Prince of Shu's Mansion and the East Palace to fight against each other." Zhao Zaixiao, the king of Shu, curled his lips angrily.
Prince Zhao Zaicheng rubbed his brows. His father was indeed a bit unworthy of a father. Now that he and the King of Shu have children, they still tease the two children with candy as they did when they were children.
I still remember that when I was a child, Xiao Zaixiao always couldn't grab the candy from me, but what my father didn't expect was that every time he grabbed the candy, he would share it equally with King Shu. The two of them just thought it was to make their father happy.
"I'm asking you about business! Don't interrupt. Have you found out about Bo Suce's assassination in Jingyang County?" Prince Zhao Zaicheng asked with a serious face.
The king of Shu, Zhao Zaixiao, looked a little embarrassed and said: "I found it, it's the third child!"
"Huh, as I expected, this third child has a wild temper! I invited Su Ce to a banquet today, but he was rejected!" the prince said with a long breath.
The King of Shu opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "Why are you looking for him? I also invited him today!"
"The fifth day of the lunar month?"
"You are also in the fifth grade of junior high school!"
…
Two brothers, you look at me and I look at you.
"I told you to listen!"
"I told you to listen!"
"You tell me and I listen!"
"You tell me and I listen!"
"Don't talk like a solitary person!"
"Don't imitate me!"
"..."
After a brief moment of embarrassment, Prince Zhao Zaicheng stretched out his hand and signaled to King Zhao Zaixiao of Shu.
Zhao Zaixiao, the king of Shu, said with a serious face: "The Peony Internal Guard discovered it two years ago. The Black Clothes Sect started in Jinling. At first, it was just craftsmen discussing crafts and was ignored. Later, the Black Clothes Sect became bigger and bigger, and the Internal Guards
The supervisory level of the Black Clothes Cult was raised from D to C, and hidden stakes were installed.
At the end of last year, it was found that Lao San was among them. This year, many generals in the army were assassinated. The internal guards raised the supervision level of the Black Clothes Cult from C to B. Lao San and Lao Si were in the south. They must have been influenced by what they heard and saw.
Due to the influence of the southern gentry, you have to deal with the third child well this time when you come back."
Prince Zhao Zaicheng nodded and said, "Well, tomorrow you go to Su Ce's house and tell Su Ce not to fight back."
The king of Shu, Zhao Zaixiao, looked at the prince Zhao Zaicheng with a puzzled expression, pointed at himself and asked, "Su Ce has such a big reputation now! Do I, the prince, need to take action personally?"
The prince said seriously: "A few days ago, the Northern Army gathered generals. Su Ce presided over it. The commander of the Northern Army was decided to be Su Ce. Su Ce's face was not so great, but the commander of the Northern Army was.
You have to give it, this matter is not trivial, it is related to the title of king for the third child, so you must not be careless!"
Shu Wang Zhao Zaixiao nodded, but still said: "Isn't it enough not to let him know that it was the third child who did it?"
"When will the fire be contained in the paper? The Northern Army is different from the other three sides and two yamen. The Northern Army is the army that founded the country and cannot be underestimated. The predecessor of the Peony Guards in your hand is the Northern Army's reconnaissance cavalry. Don't think that the people in the army are
They are all reckless men, and those who survive in the battlefield are all old foxes." Prince Zhao Zaicheng reminded the King of Shu, Zhao Zaixiao, that the loyalty of the Northern Army was not the reason for suffering losses, but that the royal family had to protect it at all times.
"I understand, it's getting late. I heard that the Shu Kingdom has sent you ten pieces of Shu brocade to the East Palace, and five pieces are divided among the kings." Zhao Zaixiao, the king of Shu, took the initiative to end the topic.
The prince Zhao Zaicheng rolled his eyes. This Shu brocade comes from the land of Shu. Your King of Shu's fiefdom is in the land of Shu. Several pieces of Shu brocade are still fighting the autumn wind. The prince Zhao Zaicheng cursed angrily: "Get out of here and go find the family order to get it!"
"Here!" Zhao Zaixiao, the king of Shu, saluted and turned around to go to Jialing Temple in the East Palace.
