Jia Heng mounted his horse, turned around and walked slowly towards the palace city a few blocks away. At this moment, the soft sunlight of early winter fell on his face, dyeing a layer of gold on the young man's stern face. However, his eyebrows were deep and dim, and his heart was filled with uncertainty. A wave of thoughts came to me.
He was naturally thinking about his relationship with Princess Jinyang.
He knew before that he and Princess Jinyang simply met the right person at the right time.
There is no such thing as sharing weal and woe, and there is no such thing as staying true to life until death. It may be more about temperament and lust.
The eldest princess of Jinyang has been a widow for many years, especially as she approaches thirty and approaches the age of a tiger and a wolf.
Originally, there were children around to cheer her up and give her emotional comfort, but as the little princess grew up, how could she not feel lonely?
To put it bluntly, at this age, the eldest princess of Jinyang... misses a man.
I don't want to sink myself to keep my reputation, and I don't want to find someone to deal with randomly. I just happened to meet someone who is so suitable for him.
To put it shamelessly, even if Princess Jinyang is looking for a lover, in the past one or two years, there is almost no one more suitable than him in the mighty Jing.
Those who are successful are either too old or too ugly. Those who are rich and noble are either embroidered pillows or dandy.
Unless she is backwards compatible.
With a self-made martial artist like him, and a lot of talent in literature and politics, and he was also trusted as a confidant by the emperor, could he find another one in such a great city?
Well, that’s how Pu Xinnan bows his head.
Besides, someone who is almost thirty years old is no longer a little girl.
What a little girl needs is a trial of one step and three turns, but a woman of Princess Jinyang's age has a deep understanding of what she wants and is already able to face her own desires.
"There is also a saying in later generations that young people aged fifteen or sixteen should look for someone around thirty years old, because they are all the age for pleasure."
The curve of a woman's feelings has never been a proportional function, but an exponential function. With the right atmosphere, it is possible to meet and have sex on the same day.
For men, establishing a relationship is the end of the strategy game, but for women, it is just the beginning of a new relationship.
"Just now, in fact, she just showed a little bit of her thoughts, or maybe she amplified some of her emotions after drinking, and said some probing words. But what happened after that was actually me... pushing the envelope even further, and the atmosphere got really heated."
In the relationship between men and women, physical contact is the sign of increased intimacy.
But physical contact does not mean that it must be done step by step, holding hands first, and then hitting the bases. This is not what the high-ranking 91 masters do, but it is a leap. Every breakthrough needs to be tested, and every test needs to be tested. It's an adventure.
Experts are never afraid of this kind of adventurous game, and even enjoy it, but weak people dare not take risks and are afraid of falling out. When the words and care are exhausted, the attraction gradually disappears, and they naturally become lickers.
Then, based on the sunk cost mentality, I made a desperate move, expressed my feelings, was dealt the good guy card, and then... nothing happened.
He can only take advantage of every opportunity, but never express his feelings.
Jia Heng thought about it, gradually approached the imperial city on horseback, handed the sign to the palace attendants, and then headed towards the Daming Palace.
In the Daming Palace, in the side hall
Emperor Chongping sat behind the imperial desk, holding a memorial in his hand and reading it attentively. This was a memorial written by Prince Teng, which mainly dealt with arrangements for the rectification of the capital camp.
Using the method of selecting fronts, the old and weak members of the army were demobilized and the old generals were transferred. However, this plan faced considerable resistance in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial, looked at Dai Quan aside, and asked, "Has Jinyang gone to meet him?"
Dai Quan smiled and said: "When the servant came back, he saw Xia Houying leading Jia Ziyu's horse, and the other carriage was the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "The day before yesterday, Jin Yang came to the palace and said that Huiheng Trading Company has begun to plan for various businesses, and they want to find Ziyu to ask for advice, but I didn't know that Ziyu also knows the way of merchants and goods."
The eldest princess of Jinyang actually thought of an excuse before welcoming Jia Heng, and Emperor Chongping didn't doubt anything else.
Because, firstly, the eldest princess of Jinyang had an agreement with Emperor Chongping, and secondly, the eldest princess of Jinyang has always been clean and self-sufficient, and there has never been any scandal in so many years.
"Your Majesty, First Class Yunhui General Jia Heng handed over the sign to enter the palace." At this moment, an eunuch entered the side hall and reported, interrupting Emperor Chongping's thoughts.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he nodded and said, "Xuan."
The eunuch immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, Jia Heng stood tall and tall, stepped into the palace, saluted and said: "I have seen your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"Zi Yuping is here." A faint smile appeared on Emperor Chongping's face, and he said to Dai Quan on the side: "Look at the seats."
Dai Quan responded and ordered the eunuch to move an embroidery pier.
Jia Heng stood up and thanked Dai Quan. He did not sit down, but raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the thieves and bandits in the counties of Sanfu have been pacified. I am here to give my order to your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping smiled and nodded, and said with approval: "Okay, I have read all the military reports for the past ten months. Your Titiao Guoyong camp traveled north and south, traveling to and from prefectures and counties, arresting thieves, and you have achieved great results through your hard work. I originally thought that You have to wait till the end of the year to reap the full benefits, so I don’t want to act so vigorously.”
Jia Heng said: "I dare not take credit for the fact that the generals and soldiers died in the service of their lives. They are just thieves and bandits. I have the talent in the memorial. Most of them are refugees. They fled to Sanfu to make a living. I have selected nearly ten thousand of them for me. Replenish the Guoyong camp."
Emperor Chongping said: "I have doubts about this before. Will refugees joining the army affect the fighting capacity of the capital? It is said that those with permanent property have perseverance. According to Wang Ziteng, they are not from good families with an innocent background. son."
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, I think Wang Jieshuai's words are biased."
"Oh?" Emperor Chongping was surprised and asked, "How do you say this?"
Jia Heng said: "They were also our Han people. Due to natural disasters, in order to make a living, they left their hometowns. Wang Jieshuai said that his wealth was not innocent enough. I think it is frightening to the hearts of the people of Henan and Shandong provinces."
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was silent for a moment, then nodded after a moment.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "If the refugees can be trained well and show their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, they can also become a daring soldier to protect the territory of our Han Dynasty. Besides, if the refugees feel the grace of staying alive, wouldn't they die in repayment?" On the contrary, if we don't care about it, I'm afraid that the refugees will still gather in the mountains and forests, causing harm to the place, and secretly instigating the ambitious people who want to gain arrogance. I'm afraid that there will be repeated popular uprisings, which will cause great harm to the country. As for the emperor, who is worried, the refugees will be recruited into the camp, or like in the Song Dynasty. The two armies in Jinxiang are more than one million in strength, and they are wasting military supplies, but they are of no use in the war. I believe that if we select young and strong men for training and drills, the old story of the Song Dynasty's redundant army will never happen again."
If the Song Dynasty maintained an imperial army in vain, it was a waste of money and food, then Chen Han did not make too much concessions. There were nearly 700,000 troops on the nine sides, plus two to three hundred thousand in the Beijing camp, which is also a million troops. step.
As for recruiting young refugees to form and train into the army, there is a saying in later generations that some low-end manufacturing assembly lines have long been replaced by intelligence, but there are still a large number of human workers, which are nothing more than paying a meager salary. as stabilization costs.
This means that those who have perseverance have perseverance.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, his majestic face showed reflection. He pondered for a moment and said, "What Zi Yu said is not unreasonable. Once civil uprisings occur one after another, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."
Jia Heng said loudly: "The sage and the sage, I always read the history books and speculate on the rise and fall of political chaos in the past dynasties. At the end of the dynasty, the building will collapse, often due to popular rebellion, such as the second generation of Qin, Chen Wu and Liu Xiang. For example, the green forest with red eyebrows in the early Han Dynasty, the Taiping Yellow Turban in the later Han Dynasty, the yellow Zhu Li king in the late Tang Dynasty, the white lotus red scarf in the Meng Yuan Dynasty... all of them are the more urgent the decline of wealth, the people are dying, the bandits are wreaking havoc, the central government is out of control, and the imperial power is declining. , the ambitious people in the world are taking advantage of the situation to make sure that the people have rice to eat, and they will not stoop to become thieves and fight against the imperial court."
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, his heart was slightly shaken. As he read Jia Heng's words, he felt that every word was precious. He was silent for a long time. He looked at Jia Heng with a Zhanran gaze, nodded and said: "Your words are sincerely based on the theory of gold and stone, and they should be penetrated with a whip. "
He thought deeply and said in a deep voice: "To the refugees, didn't you mention military and civilian villages in your memorial earlier? I think it's feasible."
Of course, there is still some hesitation about recruiting refugees to camp in Beijing.
As the emperor, you have to consider all aspects.
First, young people from Shandong and Henan provinces have entered the capital camp. If this continues, the population will be unbalanced and local farming will inevitably be delayed.
Secondly, there are conflicts between soldiers from Hakka provinces and soldiers from the third auxiliary army.
There is also an invisible worry.
If too many refugees were recruited, wouldn't it mean that the Jin Dynasty would be in a corner of peace, and the refugee commanders in the Beifu Army would be more powerful than Tai'a?
As Jia Heng thought, recruiting more than 10,000 soldiers was already the limit. As for the proposed strategy of selecting young refugees to join the camp, it was obviously not adopted by Emperor Chongping.
"I will discuss the military and civilian settlements with the cabinet in the next few days. If it is feasible, I will issue an order to Henan and Shandong provinces to try it out." Emperor Chongping thought for a while and said again.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Sage, Holy Ming, I just think that we need capable ministers and officials to carry out this policy of appeasing the people."
If there are marching army and civilian villages in Henan and Shandong, the people will inevitably be mobilized, and a good thing will not turn into a bad thing.
Emperor Chongping said: "The reorganization of the Beijing camp is about to begin. In addition to organizing and training the Guoyong camp and the first army, you can make more suggestions and strategies to Wang Qing. Although your two families are related by marriage, there is no need to avoid taboos. I have no choice in employing people." No need to be suspicious.”
Apparently Dai Quan just reported Jia Heng's exchange with Wang Ziteng at the city gate, and just now Jia Heng refuted Wang Ziteng's proposal. He felt that Jia Heng might be worried about being suspected, so he relieved his doubts.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Wang Jieshuai is an old man who is planning for the country. He has a lot of ambitions in mind. I think he has already made a comprehensive plan for the reorganization of the capital camp. I dare not make any rash remarks and spoil the arrangement. Kuang Chen inspected it with his meager contribution." As the commander-in-chief of the school, I have to control the troops with courage and restraint. I have realized that my wisdom and talent are weak and my strength is insufficient. Of course, if there is a good strategy, I will not be lazy and hide my clumsiness."
On the one hand, he wanted to supervise the army, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the five-city army and horse department. He really couldn't spare the time to make a sword for the prince.
The difficulty in rectifying the Beijing camp is not to check for vacancies and eliminate the old and weak. The key lies in how to sort out the intricate relationships.
How to arrange the original generals and soldiers? If these people are not handled well, it is very easy to cause chaos.
If he is too active, it will be very easy for him to do it. Whoever suggests it will do more!
These are the four major harms in the workplace: whoever proposes will do more, whoever is capable will do more, whoever is soft-hearted will do more, and whoever is honest will do more!
But let him play the bad guy, while Wang Ziteng plays the red face behind, and get all the attention from the camp?
If Wang Ziteng can't withstand the pressure, sell him another hand? To appease public anger?
As for whether his refusal will affect the emperor's perception, it is actually limited, because there is no such employer, and he has just come back and needs to take a breather.
And the most important thing is that he just vaguely proposed the idea of rectifying the Beijing camp, but the emperor rejected it.
In other words, the so-called strategy of sending young refugees to the capital for training, killing more birds with one stone, was actually put on hold by the emperor.
This is normal. Not every time his ideas are completely in sync with the emperor's ideas, and his political goal has been achieved by keeping the more than 10,000 refugees who have been recruited and trained in the camp young and strong.
Let’s wait until the new army takes shape, and then we’ll make another move.
Emperor Chongping thought for a while and felt that Jia Heng's qualifications and prestige seemed to be difficult to withstand the pressure of the distinguished generals in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He said: "That's it for now. Academician Li is serving as the commander-in-chief." To plan and run around, you have been visiting the Ministry of War more recently."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I obey."
Letting him go to the Ministry of War was exactly what he wanted.
Suddenly he remembered something and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's Sword is in my hand. Your Majesty can take it back."
As he spoke, he was about to take off the Emperor's Sword from his waist.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said, "You should keep it for now. Guoyong camp may be able to use it."
"I obey the decree." Jia Heng was a little touched when he heard the words.
This is the treatment given to Bao Longtu by Renzong. Of course, this is Bao Heizi in the Liyuan opera of this era. There is no record in official history that Bao Zheng gave Shang Fang the sword.
Emperor Chongping smiled again and said: "It's getting late, and I haven't returned home in recent months. I don't know how your family should miss you. Go back and reunite with your family."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration," Jia Heng said, cupping his hands.
Then, under the guidance of the inner prisoner, he left the Daming Palace and walked between the red eaves and green palace walls. Because he was about to return home, his steps were somewhat brisk.
