The matter of disarmament slowly calmed down after a period of disturbing discussions in Xianyang.

Although this matter seems to have gradually disappeared in the court, the princes and princes and the high-level officials of the three provinces and six ministries know that this matter is becoming more and more clear.

Your Majesty is about to make up his mind.

It's the end of February, the pink color is gradually fading, and the willow green is getting thicker and thicker.

The wheat waves of the large farmland on both sides of the Wei River are rolling, and the green wheat seedlings are extremely strong.

And the enthusiasm of the entire Xianyang people began to slowly return to the Dongfang Road under construction.

Spring sowing has long ended, and now it is the agricultural slack season, and a large number of people in Guanzhong began to take dry food and bedding to Dongfang Road to work, taking advantage of this season to earn some spare money to subsidize their families.

Chen Xu has been very idle recently, almost idle.

Dongfang Dao has long been on the right track, there are Yang Kun, Fan Caiying and a group of people from the Academy of Sciences in charge of the operation, his task has been completed, only occasionally go to the Oriental Dao Administration to listen to the progress report, and then go to the Academy of Sciences and the College of Engineering to give lectures, or go to the Women's College to tell stories to a group of female students, during which a spring outing was specially organized, and the teachers and students of the school were pulled by school bus to the farm on the fiefdom for a day of picnic, and watched the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep orchards raised in pieces, This incident was also written as news by a reporter of good things and published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, which caused a lot of discussions, and they were all very interested in the planning of the farm by the Marquis of Qinghe, so many Xianyang citizens also went to the farm in groups to visit.

On this day, Chen Xu was observing the growth of the pepper planted, and a messenger came with an edict in his hand, and it was rumored that he would go to the court tomorrow to participate in the court meeting.

"After waiting so long, it looks like it's time for a result!" Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief after reading the edict.

Half a month has passed since Jiang Bu proposed the disarmament matter, which shows that the emperor is very cautious about this matter, and he also convened many people to discuss it during the period, but Chen Xu was not invited, which was beyond Chen Xu's expectations.

But Chen Xu didn't go to the palace to find the emperor, and he didn't even go to any officials to inquire about it.

During this period, Jiang Bu and Jiang Hu came once, and they told about the time when Jiang Bu was almost beaten in the court, and as for the later words, the two of them didn't know anything.

As for Li Xin, Chen Xu simply didn't ask.

Li Xin was able to support Chen Xu in this matter, which is already considered benevolent and righteous, after all, as a veteran nobleman of Great Qin, he still has to take some political risks when proposing disarmament, if he is really covered with a big hat with bad intentions, he will be able to fall into his grandmother's family in this life.

After the confessor left, Chen Xu thought about it again and again, and then squatted down to continue to check the growth of pepper.

Nearly twenty days have passed, and the peppers planted have sprouted.

The germination rate of the selected half-catty good seeds is not bad, it is estimated that there are six or seven percent, and under the careful care of the housekeeper and a few domestic servants, the growth is gratifying, and it has grown to three or four inches high, and the green is very pleasing to the eye.

The whole bag of pepper that was moldy and moldy by the housekeeper also had some sprouts, but there was no germination rate, and only a few hundred vegetable seedlings grew out of the whole half acre of land, which was cold and sad.

But in any case, as long as it can germinate, at least it means that it is still very promising to grow pepper, so after inspecting this pepper seedling, Chen Xu instructed the housekeeper to arrange for someone to choose a piece of fertile farmland near the pond, intensively cultivate and fertilize, and dig a ditch to prepare for transplanting.

Pepper is a semi-climbing vine plant similar to the sativa lily, so it is necessary to build a pergola, and the climate of India is warm and humid, these plants must also be a light-loving and moisture-loving crop, and they should be prepared for moisturizing and watering.

After guiding the planting of pepper, Chen Xu went home to clean up, prepared all the disarmament resettlement recitals written earlier, and waited for tomorrow to go to the court to see the emperor's final results of disarmament.

Meiyuan Town, Pinyang County, a hundred miles away from Xianyang, is the hometown of Wang Qian, the god of the Great Qin Army.

In the evening of this day, several fast horses galloped from the northwest, and the people on horseback were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, wearing hats, and long swords at their waists.

"Who's coming?" At the entrance of Mihara Town, there is a tall stone gate archway, where several horses gallop in, and several guards in charge of guarding are ready to draw their knives to block it.

"Presumptuous!" The leader lifted his hat slightly and snorted.

"Master Hou forgives me, I don't know if it's you......"

The faces of several guards changed drastically, and they hurriedly returned their long knives to their sheaths and saluted, but the few people on the horse did not stop at all, and galloped away through the archway with their whips.

"Isn't the little marquis in the northwest camp? How did you come back without a military order? One of the guards looked at the departed horse in confusion.

"Silence, do you want to die?" The leader of the guards kicked the speaker to the ground with a vicious kick.

"Yes, yes, my subordinates are talkative!" The guard instantly understood, and his face was pale and he didn't dare to look up.

The military orders of the Great Qin are strict, if the generals who command the troops outside the country are not allowed to leave the military camp at any time without the emperor's order, if the military orders are violated, the light punishment will be severe, Wang Li was originally the deputy commander of the Northwest Army, but he returned to his hometown silently, once the matter spreads, the Wang family will be in a catastrophe.

In the southeast of Meiyuan Town, there is a small river, a luxury mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres stands quietly on the bank of the river, under the shade of big trees, the bluestone wall as high as two feet, and the towering wide gate all show the identity of the owner of this mansion is different.

A few fast horses came at a gallop, the leader took the reins of the horse, the front legs of the horse neighed off the ground, the person on the horseback slightly lifted the hat to reveal half of his face, the guards guarding the door saw it and saluted quickly, and then looked at each other and watched several people ride into the gate.

"You...... How did you get back? ”

Wang Ben, who was fighting with several guards with swords in the backyard, looked at Wang Li who came in, shook his face, dropped the long knife in his hand, and strode to Wang Li and scolded in a low voice.

"Dad, there is something I want to ask you when the child came back secretly?" Wang Li said eagerly.

"Rebel son, do you want our Wang clan to follow you to pay for your life? Don't say much, come with me! ”

Wang Ben's face turned dark and walked towards the room, but he quickly turned back to look at a few guards and said, "Tell me to go down, no one is allowed to say anything about this matter, otherwise the family law will deal with it!" ”

"Huh~" Several guards instantly put away their swords and went out.

"Dad, I heard that His Majesty wants to dismantle the 300,000 troops in the northwest?" As soon as the front foot entered the house, Wang Li couldn't wait to ask.

"Smack~" Wang Ben turned around and slapped Wang Li's face, gritting his teeth and looking at Wang Li, "Rebel, what does it matter to you whether Your Majesty is disarmed or not?" You ran home in such a hurry, did you just want to ask about it? ”

Wang Li covered his cheeks for a long time before nodding vigorously.

"Rebel, rebel, you want to be angry with the old man!" Wang Benqi's facial features were distorted, he raised his big slap to look at his son, and finally put down his arm and sat down on the big chair.

"Dad, is it true that Your Majesty is disarmed?" Wang Li dodged Wang Ben's angry eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, really? What if it's not true? Wang Ben's face slowly calmed down after gasping for a few times, looking at a red slap mark on his son's face, he was a little unbearable, sighed and shook his head, "There is no definite news about the disarmament at the moment, but according to the changes in the court, this matter must be nine times out of ten!" ”

"That'...... So what do I do? Wang Li asked eagerly.

"You can't do anything, you can only hurry back and wait for His Majesty's order!"

As an old voice came, a figure appeared at the door, and an old man in a coarse linen coat with silver hair and a thin beard walked in.

"Daddy~"

"Grandpa~"

Wang Ben and Wang Li hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Rebel~" When Wang Jian walked in front of Wang Li, his eyes glared and spit out two words.

Wang Li shrank his neck in fright, watched Wang Jian sit down on the big chair in the center, and then cautiously stepped forward, "Grandpa, if the army is dismantled, I will ...... Haven't I become a general who is not worthy of the name, so what am I still doing guarding a few empty military camps in the northwest? Why don't you stay in Xianyang and enjoy the blessings? ”

"How can the Northwest Barracks be empty? It's just that there are fewer people, and disarmament is led by Qinghehou, and this matter can't be ignored by you, do you still want to rebel when you sneak back in a hurry? ”

Although Wang Jian was thin and had a hint of sickness, his momentum was very powerful, and the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop by a few degrees after sitting down.

"Qinghe Hou? Isn't it the recital of the chief Jiang Bu? Wang Li was stunned for a moment and said with a puzzled face.

"Jiang Bu, just a reckless man with no name, how can he have such a brilliant mind and courage! There is only one person in the world who dares to swagger like this, and only Qinghe Hou has one ear! Wang Jian shook his head.

"That'...... Doesn't it mean that the Marquis of Yinshan and the Marquis of Di Dao also took refuge in the Marquis of Qinghe? Wang Li shuddered slightly.

"Hehe, right now, the whole court wants to take refuge in the princes and princes of Qinghe, if the old man doesn't want to take refuge in him because of his identity, the disciple of the immortal family, who doesn't want to take refuge, the emperor values him so much, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not blind!" Wang Qian's cheeks twitched a few times, and there was a strange look in his eyes that could not be described.

Wang Li opened his mouth wide for a long time before he lowered his head and whispered: "I have just been awarded a meritorious service, and I am ready to show off my skills, but if Your Majesty dismantles the Northwest Army, how can I make meritorious service in the future?" ”

"Meritorious, what else do you want to make? If you make any more meritorious service, you can only be the emperor! Wang Jian snorted coldly.

"Huh!?" Wang Ben, Wang Li, father and son, changed their faces almost at the same time.

"Ahh Wang Jian glared at Wang Ben fiercely, and then exhaled and said, "Our Wang family is now three generations are all waiting, this honor is unprecedented, since the destruction of Chu after the old man retired regardless of military politics, Ben'er also after the destruction of Yan Qi and the two countries unloaded and returned to the field, our Wang father and son have too much credit, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are suspicious, so they can only retire to save their lives, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, Fan Li assisted the Yue Wang Goujian to destroy Wu Fuguo, and then retreated bravely, but the literary species are greedy for power and unwilling to leave, As a result, he was forced by Gou Jian to commit suicide with a sword, and he only understood Fan Li's words when he was dying, but it was a pity that he regretted it too late! Although His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, he is not a thin-hearted person like Goujian, the king of Yue, but the emperor has become more and more unpredictable as he gets older, and no one can guarantee the future changes. ”

"Grandpa, is this considered a bird's nest?" Wang Li asked cautiously.

"Stupid, everything is foreseen, and if you don't plan it, what's the use of having so many generals if you don't have to fight?" Wang Jian glared at his grandson.

"Grandpa, ...... So what should I do? ”

"You hurry back to the barracks, since Your Majesty has the intention of disarmament, he will inevitably convene the princes and princes to discuss the follow-up policies again, after all, how to arrange the 300,000 army is also a big deal, if the arrangement is not good, there will be chaos, you don't have to meddle in this matter, by the way, what does Meng Tian do?" What is your view on disarmament? Wang Jian asked.

"The general seems to have a heart of retreat, and his views on disarmament are no different from those of grandpa!" Wang Li hurriedly replied.

Wang Jian stroked his long silver-white beard and nodded silently, "Meng Tian is stationed in the northwest, and the main purpose of commanding an army of 300,000 is to fight against Huns, and now that the task has been completed, he is not a stupid person, and naturally he understands what to do...... In the future...... Alas! ”

Wang Qian's face was tangled and puzzled, he usually had a thousand strategies in his mind, but he didn't seem to be able to see clearly in this matter.

"Why is my father sighing?" Wang Ben didn't understand.

"Originally, this matter was very simple, but now that there is an additional Qinghe Marquis sandwiched in it, the old man can't see through it, and disarmament doesn't seem to be as simple as the old man imagined!" Wang Jian shook his head slightly.

"Grandpa, do you want to ask Qinghe Hou secretly, how can we say that we are also in-laws with him......" Wang Li hesitated for a moment and said.

As soon as Wang Qingsleeve was mentioned, Wang Qian's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly coughed a few times and stood up, and said with a trace of sadness on his face: "We don't want to get too close to Qinghehou on weekdays, so as not to cause suspicion and misunderstanding, let's go back to the barracks quickly, and the matter of disarmament may become clear in the next few days......"

Just as Wang Jian was speaking, a guard hurriedly walked in from outside and stood outside the room to report: "Report, Master Hou, someone has come to deliver the decree!" ”

"Ben'er went to receive the order, and if he asked about the old man's condition, he would say that he was still seriously ill and couldn't get up!"

"Yes, Father!"

Wang Ben turned around and left, but in half a moment, he turned around with a scroll of silk in his hand, and said with a strange face when he entered the door: "Dad, as you expected, Your Majesty invited me to participate in the Morning Dynasty tomorrow, and the messenger revealed that it is estimated that it is a matter of disarmament in the northwest!" ”

Wang Jian stood up and looked at Wang Li and said: "Li'er hurry back to the barracks, tomorrow after the court meeting, there will inevitably be an edict to spread to the northwest barracks, if you are not in the barracks, there will be more trouble!" ”

"Don't get out of here~" Wang Ben snorted and raised his slap.

"Yes, take care of grandpa, take care of father, I'll go back to the barracks!"

Wang Li escaped from the room with his head in his hands, and soon several fast horses rushed out of the Hou Mansion and headed northwest.

"Didn't the little marquis just come back, why did he leave again before he had a meal?" Under the archway at the entrance of Mihara Town, a few guards watched a few fast horses go away.

"That's all you have to say!" The leader of the guard kicked the speaker to the ground. (https:)
