"And make them ignorant and ignorant, so that they can live in peace without drinking from Jiuquan, and hold on to the pain for a hundred generations?" [The remaining words of Jian Deng]
Xu Chu looked at Zhang Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We, who are in this department and guard the Holy Gong, don't seem to be as prominent as those who lead the troops outside, but when it comes to weight, I think we are far superior to them.
."
Zhang Xiu stood in the corridor. He was about to make way for Xu Chu. He suddenly stopped. He looked the man up and down and asked, "Brother Zhongkang was transferred to Yulin from Runan. Do you really think so?"
Xu Chu and Zhang Xiu both came from Renxia background. Although one lived in Liangzhou and the other in Yuzhou, they had never met each other. However, heroes were very generous and heroic, and they never needed cumbersome contact to get to know each other. Although they had only known each other for a short time, the two
But the relationship between people has reached the point of saying this. Xu Chu marched into Chang'an from the battlefield of Runan. If he would lose the opportunity to fight and make meritorious service outside for a long time, Zhang Xiu favored himself and others, deeply believing that the other party would also feel the same.
There is reluctance.
"It's not my place to persuade you." Xu Chu patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder encouragingly, glanced sideways at Zhang Heng, who was watching the excitement, then passed by Zhang Xiu and said, "You
In fact, I know it better than anyone else."
Zhang Xiu's heart was suddenly shaken, and he watched Xu Chu's broad body gradually go away with a complex expression. He didn't know what he was thinking. He indeed knew better than anyone else that for Jia Xu, he stayed in Yulin Prison and was better than outsiders.
He can be more valuable as a general. Zhang Xiu also knew that this was an arrangement negotiated between his uncles Zhang Ji and Jia Xu, and there was no chance for him to make his own decisions. Although he never complained, as a man in his twenties,
As a young man aged 10, there is nothing more exciting than fighting on the battlefield.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Heng stood up, came behind Zhang Xiu, and followed his gaze. He might have misunderstood: "Don't look at it. Looking at the entire Northern and Southern armies, no one can beat him. It's a pity.
Already."
On his side, he was hypocritically feeling sorry for Xu Chu, but Zhang Xiu on the side did not answer. He was still staring at Xu Chu's leaving back. He walked proudly like the most loyal guard, no matter where he was placed.
Even though he can do it steadily, he can do it steadily. Maybe he is born to do this, or maybe Xu Chu has a longer-term consideration than Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu stood on the corridor and thought for a long time. Finally, as if he had made some kind of determination, he raised his hand and poured the remaining half bowl of sour plum soup into his mouth. Then he followed Xu Chu's direction and watched quietly on the corridor.
In the fishing platform, the wind is clear and the waves are calm.
The drought in Guanzhong is raging, and disaster reports are being reported in Hongnong, Zuofengyi, Jingzhaoyin and other places. The water level of rivers has decreased, and many places have difficulty in using water. What's more, it is still the beginning of summer, and it will wait in a few days.
It's midsummer, and Guanzhong is about to turn into a scorched earth. As many prime ministers and assistant ministers in charge of the Chengming Palace, Ma Rixi, Zhao Wen and others have been very busy with this matter, fearing that any civil unrest will occur on their own hands.
The emperor also convened several ministers to discuss disaster control plans. When he heard that some remote counties and villages had already suffered from homeless people who had no food or clothing, he immediately expressed his intention to set an example, save food and clothing, and work with the people to tide over the difficulties.
Although the emperor showed great kindness to the people, it was not raining, so the news still did not cheer up the people of Guanzhong. Just when everyone was worried, the news of Pei Mao's victory was like a sweet rain pouring on his heart. As long as Nan
After the victory, everything is easy to say. With the powerful and effective imperial court meticulously executing the disaster relief work, the imperial army with great military achievements guarding the area, and the emperor's diligence and love for the people, Guanzhong will not worry about the instability of the people.
Therefore, after receiving the news of Pei Mao and others' triumphant return, they knew that the emperor was most concerned about this military and national affairs. There was no time to write an abbreviation, so they roughly discussed a set of reward regulations and hurried to the fishing resort where the emperor often summered and enjoyed the scenery.
tower.
As soon as Situ Ma Rixi, Sikong Zhao Wen, Taiwei Dong Cheng and others came in, they saw the emperor talking to General Wang Bin.
"...Sili Colonel Pei Mao, Shizhong Xun You and other ministers, Huben Zhonglang General Ju Jun, Shesheng Colonel Yan Yan, Infantry Colonel Zhao Yun and other generals have arrived in Huaili and will go to Chang'an tomorrow." He was in charge of the capital.
General Wang Bin of Zhao Military Affairs said respectfully from the side.
"Pei Mao will return the military talisman and military talisman after he enters the court tomorrow, so there is no rush." The emperor wore a light t-shirt, with a simple bun on his head and a hairpin, and leaned on the chair.
, holding his forehead with his hand, with a lazy expression: "Tomorrow morning, you will go out of the city to greet me on my behalf... No, the Taiwei arrived just in time. You will be the leader, lead the Weiwei and his uncle out of the city, and allocate money from the Young Mansion.
Award according to previous regulations."
As soon as Dong Cheng came in, he was assigned the "important task" of rewarding the army. This caught him off guard. He was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing. He tried his best to conceal the reluctance in his tone and said, "I promise."
Everyone came to celebrate, but seeing that the emperor had already made up his mind, they were a little caught off guard. Zhao Wen reacted quickly and said: "The Southern Expedition was a great victory. The court should have given a banquet as usual, but the current situation is difficult.
I'll discuss it..." Zhao Wen looked at the two people behind him and expressed the same view: "Why don't we save money?"
The young man was full of anger and was most afraid of heat. The emperor's frown was probably dissatisfied with the sultry weather. But in the eyes of Zhao Wen and others, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the plan they discussed. It's just that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and they
No one can tell whether it is the former or the latter.
The former is not bad, just bring in a few more buckets of ice or cold water, but if it's the latter...
"In troubled times, I have no choice but to give them a hard time." Fortunately, the emperor was an open-minded man, and he followed the rules and said, "It's just a banquet, but a corresponding reward is indispensable."
"I sincerely promise you that I have ordered you to go down. Everyone in Guanzhong will know about the achievements of the imperial heavenly army, and they will never be allowed to walk at night in their royal robes." Ma Rixi bowed his head and said in response.
"Now Yizhou has been settled. According to Pei Mao's report, there have been no disasters in Yizhou and Hanzhong for many years. The people are prosperous and the government is prosperous." The emperor raised his left hand lightly to signal Ma Rixi, and Zhao Wen and others stood up without ceremony.
He continued: "I think there will be no more wars in Yizhou in the future. The only ones to worry about are the counties in Nanzhong. However, what the court can see now is in Guandong. As long as those Yi kings do not rebel and cause rebellion, the court will tolerate them for the time being.
."
"It is still the Holy Spirit who considers everything carefully. Managing a big country is like cooking a small dish. Everything has its priorities. The most important thing now is the drought in Guanzhong." Ma Rixi said.
The emperor looked at the other party and continued: "The most important thing for the people is food. Currently, there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, but there is a lot of surplus food in Yizhou's treasury. I just said that there will be no wars or disasters in Yizhou in the future.
It is useless to keep so much money and food in vain, it is better to transport them all to Guanzhong."
Zhao Wen was stunned for a moment, but Dong Cheng on the side said eagerly: "That's what your Majesty said! It is in line with the way to govern a country to use the surplus in Yizhou to make up for the shortcomings in Guanzhong. I second my opinion."
