Chapter 101: Obviously a rare talent
"General Chu, have you eaten the dim sum?" The eldest princess of Xunyang asked suddenly.
"Your Highness, the last general has tasted it, and it tastes very good." Chu Nanyue nodded.
Tanglin Shuo said on the side: "Of course it tastes good." The snacks that your aunt gave you are only made by the people in her house. At the palace banquet on weekdays, the queen mother went to invite people from her aunt's house, but sometimes she could not necessarily invite them. ”
Listening to Donglin Shuo's explanation, Chu Nanyue couldn't help but be startled and flattered. She had tasted the snack and found it very refreshing, different from other things. But she didn't know it could be so special.
Everything in the world is precious to the fresh. If there were even things that the palace rarely obtained, she ate them on the polo field, or Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang sent someone to personally send them, wouldn't it be a great treatment.
The last general didn't know that the snack was so special, and he had previously shared it with the last general's maid. I also hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang will forgive her sins. Chu Nanyue said apologetically.
"General Chu, you are honest." The eldest princess of Xunyang said.
If it's an ordinary person. Even if you feel sorry in your heart, you may not be able to tell the whole story. What's more, she is noble and powerful. If she was really annoyed and blamed her, Chu Nanyue would not be afraid.
"In front of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang, the last general is unwilling to hide it." Chu Nanyue said bluntly.
The eldest princess of Xunyang is the person she admires the most. He really wanted to make friends. If she was so trembling, presumably the eldest princess of Xunyang would not be happy to know her.
"What if I don't care about that? General Chu is so considerate of the people around him, but it makes me happy. The eldest princess of Xunyang said.
It turned out that the dim sum made by the subordinates of the eldest princess of Xunyang was actually placed in the barracks when the war was fought.
The world thinks that the eldest princess of Xunyang is because she is arrogant, so she is unwilling to give away dim sum easily. I don't know that in private, the eldest princess of Xunyang likes to reward the guards and soldiers with snacks.
"I heard that you are now in charge of 50,000 tuntian soldiers on the outskirts of Beijing. Do you feel pressured? The eldest princess of Xunyang asked with concern.
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, I did feel a little pressured when I first took over before. In war, it is easy to have one heart and hatred for the enemy, but in times of peace, it is different, and it will naturally take a lot of effort to manage such a large number of soldiers and horses. Chu Nanyue replied.
The eldest princess of Xunyang looked at Chu Nanyue: "I have heard of your ability, so naturally I am not worried." However, I heard that the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing was originally only 20,000. It was the advice of others that made General Chu a new soldier. ”
It turned out that all the information in the court was really in the hands of the eldest princess of Xunyang.
"Your Highness is right, it was suggested by the minister of the Ministry of War at that time." Chu Nanyue admitted.
But I don't know how the eldest princess of Xunyang will think of such a thing, and whether she will think that she secretly has private dealings with the ministers of the Ministry of War and formed factions.
"Hmph. At that time, the military department always felt that the generals who were born in the army were more humble than them, but they took a convenient channel for promotion. They are very unconvinced! Where is such kindness? The eldest princess of Xunyang snorted coldly.
Chu Nanyue didn't doubt herself when she heard her words, but she was holding grievances for herself, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
And she also had one thing in her heart, the purpose of the military department was not simple, it was just her suspicion before.
And now, even the eldest princess of Xunyang, who has been in the court for a long time, she suspects that the military department has such a purpose, and Chu Nanyue is eighty percent sure.
"When His Highness was in the middle of the court, it was probably one or two decades ago." Chu Nanyue said curiously.
"Yes." The eldest princess of Xunyang was touched by her memories. "It's been twenty years. The old people in the six parts are probably gone now. However, there was a kind of atmosphere among the ministries in those days. Even after the old man is gone, this trend still exists, which is why I talked about the military department like this. ”
The eldest princess of Xunyang is also really cautious. Although she was reminding Chu Nanyue, she did not point the spearhead of suspicion at the military officials of the current dynasty. She is most likely using the past to satirize the present, so that Chu Nanyue can see through it herself.
Chu Nanyue was grateful. However, I can't help but think of the appreciation of the eldest princess of Xunyang for herself these few times.
She was desperate to know why.
"Can the last general ask, why did His Highness give me that snack?" Chu Nanyue raised her head and asked.
"Are you trying to ask why I admire you alone?" The eldest princess of Xunyang broke a word.
Seeing that Chu Nanyue didn't deny it, she replied slowly: "What surprised me at first, of course, was that after the class master returned to the court, you revealed your true identity by yourself. You and I also entered the army as women, and I naturally felt a little sympathy for you. But what really appreciates you is in the barracks. ”
"In the barracks?" Chu Nanyue asked.
The eldest princess of Xunyang nodded: "In the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, there are also veterans, and your style of behavior in the barracks can eventually be passed on by word of mouth and to the ears of the courtiers." Not to mention me, who has been in the barracks for many years? ”
It turns out that in the barracks, everything is connected, including such information. How Chu Nanyue developed the method of Tuntian, and how he persuaded the newly entered 30,000 people to be convinced, all of which reached the ears of the eldest princess of Xunyang.
Although the eldest princess of Xunyang herself has retired, her descendants still hold a certain amount of power. The veterans in various armies, out of their belief in her, often took the initiative to inform her of the news.
"The last general's dull method made His Highness laugh." Chu Nanyue said humbly.
The eldest princess of Xunyang smiled: "General Chu doesn't have to be so modest. Among the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, now, I am most optimistic about you. Although you are young, you have also been in the barracks since you were a child. The experience of these five years must have made you grow a lot. ”
Previously, she was always worried that there were few reliable generals in the Tanglin Dynasty. A group of veterans like her are indeed old, and once there is another war in Tanglin, it will be difficult to really fight again.
Fortunately, there is such a number one person as Chu Nanyue. She was young, full of life and energy, and loyal to the court. She also has a strange plan in her chest, and her strategy is unparalleled. Obviously a rare talent.
The eldest princess of Xunyang is not out of her own interests, but for Tanglin, and she also wants to meet Chu Nanyue.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness's love, I am really ashamed to praise him like this." Chu Nanyue said.
"Well, you weren't like that before, but now you're like them, and you're scared every word. I'm just praising you in private, and you just have to bear it, and you don't have to worry about attracting other people's eyes. The eldest princess of Xunyang said with a smile.
The eldest princess of Xunyang looked at Chu Nanyue, there was a perseverance between Chu Nanyue's eyebrows, and that vigorous and energetic appearance was very similar to when she was young.
