After hearing Di Xin's words, Song Qianwei put aside her doubts and expressed her gratitude to Zhao Quanyou to Zhao Yuer.
Di Xin finally added: "In the past two years, Miss Yue'er has lived in the General's Mansion. She is nominally Mr. Zhao's hostage, but you can just treat her as a member of the manor."
Song Qianwei was stunned by such straightforward words, but when she looked at Zhao Yue'er, she found that her expression remained unchanged and she didn't seem to take it to heart at all.
Afterwards, Di Xin said to Zhao Yue'er: "She is Song Qianwei. She also lived in the house before. She is the sister that your sister Ruoqing often talks about."
Only then did Zhao Yue'er remember that when she was chatting with Wang Ruoqing, a sister would occasionally appear in her words, but she never mentioned that person's real name.
It turns out to be her!
Zhao Yue'er turned to Di Xin and asked: "Your Highness, should I call you elder sister or younger sister?"
Di Xin knocked her on the head and said, "She is older than you, so she is naturally your sister."
Song Qianwei's eyes shrank when she saw the interaction between Di Xin and Zhao Yuer.
Along the way, she noticed that Di Xin interacted with her more frequently than before. At that time, she just thought that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.
But looking at the familiarity between Di Xin and Zhao Yue'er, it's obviously not the first time.
Zhao Yue'er shrank her neck, turned her head and said obediently to Song Qianwei: "Hello, Sister Song."
Song Qianwei calmed down and replied: "Then I will call you Sister Yue'er from now on."
Di Xin wanted to expose Zhao Yue'er's pretending to be well-behaved, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until Song Qianwei discovered it herself or Zhao Yue'er couldn't help it.
If Song Qianwei discovers Zhao Yue'er's true character and the two of them conspire together, then the General's Mansion may "never have peace again."
Now, I can still delay it one day at a time.
When Wang Ruoqing saw the gesture Di Xin made quietly to her, she also chose to keep silent.
Over such a long time, she and Di Xin also developed a tacit understanding of each other. Although she wanted to laugh at Di Xin's naivety, she still decided to follow his wishes.
She has a quiet temperament, and she would be happy to see things turn out as Di Xin expected.
The most dull person at the moment is Xizi. She has been too busy recently and did not notice that Zhao Yue'er also pretended to be obedient and obedient.
But even if she found out, she wouldn't gossip too much due to her temperament.
…
Di Xin thought that Zhao Yue'er wouldn't be able to bear it, but he didn't expect that her endurance was so low now.
The next morning, when he saw Zhao Yue'er dragging Song Qianwei out of the mansion to play, he could finally understand why Zhao Quan came back this time, but Zhao Yue'er preferred to stay in the General's Mansion.
I'm afraid that if she stays with Zhao Quanyou for another two days, all the secrets she has kept from her father for so long will be lost.
Zhao Yue'er was so considerate of Zhao Quanyou, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Zhao Quanyou.
Di Xin sighed helplessly, and then he and Xizi went out and got into the carriage.
After dinner last night, he returned to his study and spent the night finishing off the discounts he had accumulated for nearly a month. Today, he was dealing with matters before the expedition.
…
They are all in command of the envoys.
An Junshan handed a military roster to Di Xin and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this is the military roster of the officers and soldiers of the three armies on this expedition. The various arms have been completed according to the combination we discussed before."
"In addition, the grain and grass supplies needed by the army have been deployed and loaded on trucks, and they can be inspected tomorrow."
"In addition, Chief Envoy Shen sent word that after the army sets off for the expedition, the collection of the first batch of grain and grass for subsequent shipment has also begun, and half of it has been collected so far."
General Di Xin put away the roster, nodded and said: "You have done a good job, remember not to waste people and money."
An Junshan cupped his hands and replied: "Yes, I humbly obey my orders."
Acceptance of the Provincial Envoy Department.
Shen Qianhua gave up the throne to Emperor Xin and stood at the bottom to report: "Your Highness, after secret collection, most of the people in northern Xinjiang are supportive of the expedition, and several wealthy businessmen have expressed their willingness to donate some assets as military expenditure.”
Di Xin nodded and said: "I understand the good intentions, but I won't bother them and spend money."
"yes."
Shen Qianhua slightly raised his hand and said again: "In addition, the development of the two new cities on the grassland is within the plan. However, some merchants have jointly sent a letter asking if the commercial market can be opened?"
"The army is about to set off, so don't do anything for the time being, lest spies sneak in."
Di Xin did not completely reject this request. He considered it and said, "One month after I leave for the expedition, Lord Shen will decide whether to open the market and allow merchants to enter and exit based on the situation."
Shen Qianhua replied: "I humbly obey my orders."
Prosecution and Prosecution Department.
After Di Xin came in, he went straight to the point and asked: "Have you selected the accompanying personnel who will be responsible for supervising the inspection?"
The Yingchasi had no right to interfere with military policies, but every time the army went on an expedition, someone from the Yingchasi needed to follow them, and the actions of senior generals, including the commander, were recorded and sent to the court.
The purpose is to prevent generals with military power from relying on their own troops.
Although this expedition was his own decision as the general of Yanqueguan Town, he still needed to be accompanied by officials from the Envoys and Envoys Department. Otherwise, if someone caught him, he would inevitably be suspected of rebellion.
The inspector Zhou Youdao also handed a thin booklet to Emperor Xin and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the candidates have been determined. This is the list of officers accompanying the army. On the day of the expedition, they will report to the commander of Andu."
"Very well, thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Di Xin nodded, took the roster and left.
Of course, there were more matters to be handled than the above, but there were not many things that required Di Xin to do it himself, so he visited all three yamen in one day.
Grain and supplies were the most important thing for the army. Although it was not necessary for Di Xin to do the accounting himself, he still went to the grain and grass officer the next day to count the quantity of grain, grass and supplies.
It's not that he doesn't trust Anjun Mountain, but because this is the first time Emperor Xin has personally gone on an expedition since he came to the Ancient Moon Realm, so he should pay more attention to both emotions and reasons.
On the third day, Di Xin went to inspect the military camp.
Thirty thousand soldiers were stationed outside the north gate of Yanque Pass according to their respective military branches. The densely packed camp seemed orderly under the constraints of regulations.
Take a day off.
On the fifth day, it was time to set off for the expedition.
Emperor Xin got up half past Yinshi, and under Wang Ruoqing's service, he put on the armor belonging to General Zhenguan for the first time.
White armor, silver helmet and chain mail, three-foot Qingfeng sword hung on his waist.
Originally, King Yu's image was biased towards the literati, but now he looks like a Confucian general when he is wearing armor. He may not be able to kill the enemy in battle, but he is applauded for strategizing.
Of course, whether it is really impossible to kill the enemy on the battlefield depends on whether anyone dares to take the risk. If he can break through Zeng Hongshen's defense, Di Xin does not recommend giving the opponent a big surprise.
