Maybe it's because the climate and environment here in Taishan are really good and comfortable, so the emperor's liking for this has been revealed, so the original itinerary has been adjusted, and the plan is to return to Chang'an in ten days, but His Majesty decided to start again a month later, in fact, Lai Cheng also knows that His Majesty said that it was an excuse to linger in Taishan, and His Majesty was waiting for Zhuang Yong.

Your Majesty knows that Zhuang Yong's health is not good, so he is waiting here, if Zhuang Yong can get to Chang'an in a month at the earliest, then come from the south, and there will be about twenty days to Taishan, Your Majesty said yesterday that if Zhuang Yong goes to Chang'an first, he will wait for His Majesty in Chang'an, so His Majesty can't wait.

Sometimes I think about it, maybe it's a sign that people are getting older.

However, think about it again, how can people not get old, it has been more than 30 years since His Majesty ascended to the pole, and what His Majesty has done in the past 30 years or so may have been exhausted and even more old if he was an ordinary person.

"Lai Cheng."

The emperor sitting on the chair glanced at Lai Cheng: "Why do I think you are distracted?" ”

Lai Cheng was indeed distracted, so he hurriedly leaned over in fear: "Minister...... Haven't eaten breakfast yet. ”

Emperor: "Hmm...... On behalf of the boat, take a bun to make up for him first, and go to cook, everyone here today will eat with me, I forget the time as soon as I talk about things, and I am indeed a little hungry, so let people prepare more. ”

The adults in the room all stood up and leaned over: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"What does Xie Zhen do?"

The Emperor moved his body: "Lord Xielai." ”

A group of adults, you look at me, I look at you, no one understands why Xie Lai Cheng, probably because Lai Cheng reminded the emperor that it has been more than two hours since everyone was summoned and rushed over, and many people have not eaten breakfast, so they should be hungry.

Seeing that they didn't move, the emperor said again: "Why don't you hurry up and thank Master Lai?" ”

The adults hurriedly turned to Lai Cheng and said thank you, Lord Lai, which made Lai Cheng feel scared for a while......

Sure enough, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lai Cheng should be punished for being distracted during the deliberations, and the cost of this breakfast will be deducted from Lai Cheng's money." ”

Lai Cheng's eyes widened, and then he saw the emperor looking at him with a smile on his face, no matter how Lai Cheng looked at it, he felt that the meaning in the emperor's eyes was probably ...... Who told you to propose to detain my son?

Lai Cheng gave feedback with his eyes, Your Majesty, didn't that mean you?

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and Lai Cheng immediately lowered his head...... Aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law, my heart said buckle it, buckle it, anyway, I didn't deduct a few dollars, Shen Leng's Yulu can deduct his 60th birthday, what am I afraid of......

The emperor withdrew his gaze from Lai Cheng's face and returned to the proceedings.

"The affairs of the northern frontier are too far away, and the affairs on the battlefield are changing rapidly, but I have said in the past that no matter how the battle situation changes, the household department and the military department must prepare in the most unfavorable direction of the war situation.

The officials of the household department and the military department nodded hurriedly, and the emperor got up and said as he walked: "I have an idea, the military department will see if it can be implemented, I will talk about the idea, you will deduce it according to what I said, and if it is feasible, we will start arranging." ”

The military department Shangshu leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

The emperor spoke while pacing: "There are a lot of recruits in the northern Xinjiang, and the new black martial arts of more than 3,000 troops are divided into three provinces, although the scale of these three provinces is smaller, but they must be contested, so the scale of the soldiers is larger than that of other provinces, but they are all new soldiers, and most of them have not experienced a big war...... This confrontation with the black warriors, the black warriors don't want to fight, they don't have the courage or the confidence, whether it's the Liao killing wolf or the heart of Fengyue, they won't want to fight. ”

"I don't want to fight, but I don't want to just put the Black Warriors back, so I've been thinking about one thing since I heard the battle report from the Northern Frontier...... The black warriors don't want to fight and don't want to lose face, so the confrontation is their biggest limit of action, since they feel that the confrontation is acceptable, then I will satisfy them, and take turns to transfer soldiers from the northern provinces to confront them, don't be afraid to provoke them, forcing the black warriors to turn this confrontation into the norm, they want to have a temporary confrontation, I want to keep the confrontation, and train the troops through the confrontation. ”

The military department Shangshu asked tentatively: "If the rotation of troops of this scale is a little difficult to handle if it is a confrontation of one or two years, so the minister thinks that since it is necessary to rotate the soldiers of various provinces to go up for drills, it is better to set a five-year period?" ”

"Of course it's not worth it for a year or two, and it's not worth it for five years."

The emperor smiled and said, "Ten years." ”

The officials in this room were shocked, ten years?

The emperor said: "It only takes ten years to drag down the national strength of the black martial arts, and my Daning can train a group of soldiers who can recruit good soldiers, and after ten years, the black martial arts will be dragged into the abyss both military and financial, but this idea needs to be deduced, and the people of the military department will put aside everything else in the next few days, and draw up a strategy as soon as possible and hand it to me." ”

The secretary of the military department leaned over: "The minister obeys the order, and the minister will gather everyone together to discuss when he returns." ”

The emperor hummed, slipped to the door, looked at the scenery outside and was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Go and invite the prince, from today onwards, I will discuss matters with the courtiers, and the prince can participate." ”

Dai Fangzhou hurriedly responded, trotted out, and while running, he thought that His Majesty was really happy these days, and His Majesty was happy and he was happy, so he ran so briskly.

The emperor turned around and asked again: "Where is Zhuang Yong?" ”

"I guess it's time to enter the Grand Canal."

"I arranged for someone to pick him up."

The emperor exhaled slowly: "I want this greeting, worthy of him, worthy of him." ”

At the same time, the Grand Canal.

A Fubo warship went all the way north along the Grand Canal, Zhuang Yong, who was standing on the bow of the boat with both hands on the side of the boat, seemed to be unwilling to go back to rest for a moment, he had been standing here and looking at both sides of the strait for a long, long time, no one knew why, this feudal official would see wet eyes, he really didn't want to go back to the room, he just wanted to watch it all the time.

Like, it's been a lifetime since I ever returned.

Zhuang Yong walked all the way and looked at it, the corners of his mouth were raised, this Daning world, a grass and a tree, a village and a town, a river and a mountain, it was comfortable to look at, how to look at it, although Qiu Li's side was already even if it was Daning's territory, there was really no sense of belonging, Zhuang Yong's boat had just entered the canal, and his mood could not calm down, and the scenes in his mind that passed quickly were all pictures of him leading the army through the canal again and again.

When I thought about it the most, it was naturally the first time to lead the army south, at that time, the sailors had just had the strength to fight, and the mighty fleet rushed to the south of Xinjiang to prepare to fight with the Qiu Li people to turn the world upside down, in fact, the original plan was just to defeat Qiu Li, and then Qiu Li was destroyed.

That stupid boy was young and naïve at the time...... Thinking of this, Zhuang Yong froze slightly, and then laughed, that stupid boy, isn't he naïve now?

It is a miracle that he can become a general, he may be the most heartless general in the hundreds of years since the founding of Daning, how good it was at that time, and he was not as old as he is now.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not forget and transferred him back.

Zhuang Yong let out a long breath, no matter what, it's good to come back, he looked sideways to the other side, the only daughter Zhuang Ruorong and his wife stood there looking at him and smiled, last time he almost forced his wife and daughter to go back to Chang'an, but it didn't work, and then he was relieved, if the family can't be together, it is indeed a very cruel thing, he thinks that his wife and daughter will live better when they go back, but he forgot how to live a solid life if they are not by his side.

"It's better to be at home."

Zhuang Yong smiled.

Mrs. Zhuang snorted, her husband had not had such a comfortable smile on his face for a long, long time, so she was also happy, happy from the bottom of her bones, seeing that the sad face between her husband's eyebrows was gone, how could she not be happy.

Zhuang Yong knew that he was smiling a little out of shape, like a child.

But I can't help it.

"After returning to Chang'an, I will take you to the Yingxin Building for dinner."

Zhuang Yong's eyes looked at his wife's face, and his eyes were full of apology and pampering.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the wine and food of the Yingxin Building."

Mrs. Zhuang shook her head with a smile: "You can't go out to eat, the first meal has to be on fire at home, and when the fire is at home, there will be fireworks, and fireworks are popularity, and the home will not be deserted." ”

"Okay, listen to you."

Zhuang Yong looked at his daughter: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Zhuang Ruorong said with a smile: "Father, there is still a long way to go from Chang'an, and now you have to start thinking about what to eat?" ”

"Hahahaha...... Can't help it. ”

Mrs. Zhuang said: "You just returned to Chang'an, Your Majesty must see you, so your first meal must be eaten in the palace, and you asked us what we want to eat, we don't take you what we want to eat, you can't eat it." ”

"That's right."

Zhuang Yong said: "Could it be that Your Majesty will not let the two of you go when you summon me into the palace to eat together?" ”

As he was talking, a fleet came on the river in front of him, and the moment he saw the warship, Zhuang Yong's expression immediately became solemn, and his heart was also tight, when he met the fleet, could it be that something happened in southern Xinjiang? He had just left over there, if there was any military business, wouldn't it be very inappropriate for him to leave at this time, and in an instant, Zhuang Yong's mind thought of a lot.

On the opposite side was a fleet of nineteen warships, including sixteen of the newest Fubo warships, two of the latest Wanjun warships, and at the foremost was the flagship, one of the newest Kamui.

The warship slowly stopped in front of it, anchored, and then Zhuang Yong heard a burst of horns, and in a moment, all the soldiers on the warship went to the deck, standing neatly in the direction of Zhuang Yong, and everyone was straight.

On the flagship, a man in general armor strode forward, walked to the bow of the ship and stood up, and then raised his right hand with a snap and gave the most standard Daning military salute.

"On the orders of His Majesty, with the power of the big ship, welcome the general home!"

Call!

All the soldiers on the ship raised their right arms, and at that moment, it was as if thunder was moving in all directions.

"Welcome home!"
