Brothers Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengzhi, who were chatting and laughing in low voices, seemed to feel something. They subconsciously raised their heads and looked around.
However, the two brothers did not notice anyone in the surrounding crowd staring at them, and they came together again with doubts on their faces.
"Brother, do you feel it too?"
"Second brother, have you noticed it too?"
"Brother, I looked around and no one was observing the two of us."
"I didn't see any of the civil and military officials around us either gathering together and whispering, or looking at the backs of our dad and the others, or pretending to be asleep, and no one was observing the two of us.
Sister Yiyi, Sister Yaoyao, and Sister Yue'er were also hiding nearby and whispering, not paying attention to us at all.
Maybe it’s our misunderstanding.”
"Maybe, maybe a certain adult happened to glance at us when he was looking elsewhere. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue to discuss the problem just now."
"Yes, yes, brother, please go on, what does it mean when a child suddenly cries loudly?"
"There are several reasons why a child may cry suddenly.
Sometimes it's because they are hungry. At this time, you have to put your ear to the child's belly and listen to see if you can hear any cooing.
If you can hear it, it means that the child is crying because he is hungry, and you should prepare to feed him milk.
Another reason is that when children pee or poop, they cry because they feel uncomfortable, just to remind adults that it is time to change their diapers.
Furthermore, the child may be infected with cold. Children’s bodies are weak, and sometimes they can be accidentally..."
"Oh oh oh, I have already remembered it in my heart. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"That's about all Brother Wei knows. For other details, you can just listen to the wet nurse's advice after your sister-in-law gives birth.
They are all experienced people and know much more than us new fathers."
"That's true. When I have some time to relax, I will immediately start looking for a suitable nanny to prepare."
"Hey, you don't have to worry about this. After Jingyao's brother and sister give birth, our parents will definitely not stand idly by and have arranged the nanny's affairs early in the morning."
Liu Chengzhi frowned and nodded thoughtfully: "Brother, what you said makes sense. My parents shouldn't be worried about a nanny who has an unfair fortune.
Alas, the day of Jingyao's delivery is getting closer day by day, and my heart is getting more and more painful."
"Haha, brother Wei understands you, because brother Wei has also experienced this period of restlessness. Don't worry, as long as sister Jingyao is in good health, mother and child will definitely be safe on the day of delivery."
"Yeah, I understand, brother, by the way..."
The two brothers gathered together and talked in low voices as if no one was around. Young Master Liu was also preaching to his third son, Liu Chengqian.
"Cheng Qian, do you remember what I just said?"
Liu Chengqian looked at his father's serious expression behind the bead curtain and nodded hurriedly.
"Father, don't worry, I have already kept it in mind."
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly, then raised his feet and walked forward slowly on tiptoes.
"As long as you keep it in mind, I can rest assured.
As you said yourself just now, Dingbang is not your enemy. If he were your enemy, you would be seriously injured even if you didn't die with such a lose-lose strategy.
Whether it is a personal competition or a confrontation between two armies, under the premise that oneself has a few percent advantage, this lose-lose strategy is absolutely undesirable.
Only by obtaining the greatest benefit at the smallest cost is what a smart person should do."
"Yes, I will obey my father's teachings."
Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded slightly, then suddenly turned to look at Duan Dingbang, who was following him on the right.
"Dingbang."
"I'm here."
"The words I just taught to the third prince are also meant for you.
As a leader, you must keep your mind absolutely clear at all times and never act on impulse.
Especially as the marshal of the armed forces, you are not only responsible for your own life, but also for the life and death of one hundred thousand soldiers.
Once you are carried away by anger or hatred and act impulsively, you will put the lives of soldiers in danger.
For a person who leads an army, this is a big taboo."
Duan Dingbang felt the seriousness in Mr. Liu's tone and nodded solemnly.
"I understand, I will definitely remember it in my heart and never forget it. Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty."
"I believe you can do it. By the way, have you copied the military book that I asked King Wuyi to give you a few days ago?"
Duan Dingbang nodded heavily, reached out and took out the book with a blank cover from his arms, and handed it directly to Young Master Liu.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after I received the military document from Uncle Song... King Wuyi that day, I spent two days and one night transcribing the contents.
Now the property has returned to its original owner, please inspect it, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile, raised his hand to take the book from Duan Dingbang, and put it directly into his sleeve without looking at it.
"Boy, study it carefully when you have nothing to do. How much you can gain depends on your own understanding."
"I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will study it carefully."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly looked melancholy and sighed, turned around and walked towards the direction of Qinzheng Hall.
"Now that my body has almost moved, let's go back. Don't let all the dear friends standing outside Qinzheng Hall wait too long."
Song and Qing nodded in agreement and followed Young Master Liu slowly forward.
"Dingbang."
"I'm here."
"Song Shangshu from the Ministry of War should have informed you on which day the army will go out, right?"
"Back to Your Majesty, three days ago, the minister and other brothers have received the notice from the Ministry of War, and they all know that the day of the expedition is scheduled for the 18th of this month.
When King Wuyi notified his ministers to come to the palace to attend today's court meeting a few days ago, he also informed the ministers and other brothers about the reasons and consequences of setting the date of the expedition for today.
Your Majesty loves his soldiers as much as his sons, and hopes that the soldiers will spend this Mid-Autumn Festival in their homeland before going out to war, so that all my brothers and ministers will know.
Moreover, I and other brothers have also informed all the soldiers in the camp who are about to go on an expedition. After the soldiers learned about this, they were all grateful to His Majesty.
On behalf of the 100,000 soldiers of the new army, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness, and may you live forever."
"Okay, there's no need to say thank you. You are all soldiers of the imperial court and hot-blooded sons of Dalong. I should think about you.
The soldiers act with their lives, and the king acts with his heart.
You have your duty, and I also have my duty. Everything we do is for my country, Dalong, and there is nothing I can't thank you for."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"In more than ten days, you will lead the troops to go on an expedition. After returning to the camp today, you will temporarily hand over the military affairs in the camp to Deputy Commander Lu Chen, and Warlord Ge Gonglu and the two of them will supervise it for a while.
As for you, before you go to war, go and pay homage to your father."
