Chapter 214: The Year Pass (7)

There is no other person in the Qianyuan Palace, and the lights in the hall are not bright, compared to the swaying lights outside the hall, as if it is daytime, the hall is quite a little dim.

Emperor Zhengde sat quietly behind the bookcase, not far away there were several eunuchs standing close to him, the great eunuch Zhang Ze bent over and stood behind him, maybe he felt that the hall was too quiet, maybe he stood for too long, his legs and feet were a little unbearable, and his body was always dangling, but he also felt in his heart that today's New Year Pass was a little depressed, although this year the emperor in front of him tried to stabilize the dynasty, but in the end there were many things, when the storm surged, the atmosphere of the previous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also a little weird inside.

The most worrying thing is that with the ups and downs of the government, the emperor's body is also getting worse, other people may not know it very well, but he, the eunuch chief who waits closely, understands too well, this emperor has reached the point of running out of oil and running out of lights, and he is forced to deal with the government every day, and he can still talk and laugh freely in front of the courtiers, but if he goes to a place where there is no one, it is more of a tired sixty-year-old man who feels like he is in his old age, which makes people feel really not a taste.

In this quiet hall where you could only hear the sound of the north wind whistling outside, Zhang Ze couldn't help but muttered to himself, the emperor is really old.

"The deputy commander of Yulin Zuowei, and Zhao Shi, a man from Gongyi County, was ordered to meet him."

A shout outside the hall shattered the peace in the hall, and also frightened Zhang Ze, and secretly cursed in his heart for being dead, such a loud voice, but he saw Emperor Zhengde's body straightened, and his voice also revealed a little vitality, "Call him in, turn the lights on, there is no need to wait here." You all go out, Zhang Ze, you go and get some hungry fruits outside, and heat up a few side dishes, well, bring in a pot of wine......"

Zhang Ze immediately responded, and his face also showed joy, the emperor has eaten less and less these days. Even the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is only a shallow taste, at this time the wine and food are obviously not only for that Lord Zhao, this big New Year, the ancestors did not have the rules of receiving foreign ministers at this time, unless it is urgent, whether it is the royal or the ministers have to stay with their families, seeing this Zhao Shi should not be a big deal, but the more so. Thinking of this, he immediately commanded a few little eunuchs to turn on the lights in the hall, and then drove everyone out, and he also trotted down to get busy.

When Zhao Shi stepped into the Qianyuan Palace. There was only one Emperor Zhengde in the hall, and this situation made him stunned, but he still bowed to the ground, "Minister Zhao Shi see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up. Sit down and talk. ”

Zhao Shi took the opportunity to get up, raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor who was sitting high on the head, and saw that the other party's cheeks were a little flushed, but the rest of the place was pale as death, and his face was a little puffy, although his eyes were still so majestic and unpredictable, but he was much weaker than when he saw the birthday banquet, and he also said to himself in his heart. This Great Qin Emperor, His Majesty, I'm afraid that time is running out.

"I heard that you made a lot of noise in Xishan...... Didn't go home to see it during the Chinese New Year? ”

Zhao Shi knew that the eyes and ears of the imperial court were all over the world since he saw the monk and the Taoist priest in Gongyi County, and Xishan definitely couldn't hide this matter from the emperor, and he didn't want to hide anything, so he said directly: "Yes, the officers and soldiers of the left guard of Yulin in the Xishan camp have not gone home for more than two months, this is the order of the minister, so the minister himself can't break the rules, otherwise it will be effective." Military discipline is gone. ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled when he heard this. But he continued: "Your mind is good, but I heard that you have strict military discipline. Such a commander is not afraid of arousing the resentment of the soldiers? I've already had some people here say that you're harsh and unkind, and you've been dismissed these days, and you've been promoted to more generals, right? Although the Ministry of War has approved, I'm afraid this is not a long-term solution, do you have any regulations? I'm a little worried about being so anxious for quick success, there is no one else here today, so you don't have to say anything, talk to me about it. ”

Zhao Shi pondered for a moment, and then continued his words and said: "The minister also knows how to cut it here, but the minister also knows that military law is the most ruthless, if you talk about everything, this soldier will not be able to receive it."

The minister doesn't have any good regulations, only one is recognized, the capable are up, the fool is down, and there is no reason to talk about the military law of the minister, as for the rest, the minister hasn't thought about it, and he doesn't dare to guarantee anything to His Majesty, if His Majesty thinks that the minister is doing something wrong......"

Hearing him say this, Emperor Zhengde was happy first, and this kind of prelude was the first time he had seen and heard it, so he naturally felt funny, but he also felt that the young commander in front of him was telling the truth, but it was a little too sincere, this person was really very different from others, and then waved his hand slightly, blocking Zhao Shi's words, "I said, let you let go, and you won't interfere with anything, isn't there such a sentence?" The generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, I don't understand military affairs, that is, just ask, I only need the result, but next year, in the spring, I want to see a makeover Yulin Left Guard, you have to give me a guarantee, if you think I am unreasonable, this deputy commander has someone to take over, there is a shortage of manpower in the martial arts, you go there to work for a while...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

Zhao Shi frowned secretly, where is it so easy to train soldiers? How can it be done without a year and a half? The emperor said that he let him go, and said that he was too careful, and at this time he set a time limit, it was really good and bad things for him to say alone, it seems that the situation has really reached the point where it cannot be found, can it be said that the troops of the capital division are pointing to a Yulin left guard?

He didn't think about it in the long term, but because he had been in the whirlpool before, he had heard some confidential things, and he had a general understanding of the development of the situation, and he was mostly vigilant, so he would not think that this emperor looked at him differently because he had some great merits, so he immediately thought about the joint.

Although his knowledge at this time was only a year apart, it was not comparable when he first entered Beijing, and he was even more familiar with the armies of the Beijing Division, and there were actually only three armies available in Chang'an. Two of them are here in the Yulin Army, and the other is the Xiongwu Army under the command of Li Dang, and the others, such as the forbidden army of the former division of the palace, although they have the responsibility of sanitation and Jingshi, are scattered everywhere, and most of them belong to the local management, and it is a little difficult to mobilize. Although the establishment is there, there are no soldiers in it, so you can ignore it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up to the fact that the five thousand people under his command were nothing on weekdays, and there was nothing to do with the other armies to contain each other, but now the situation in the court is turbulent. If anyone wants to make any moves, even if the emperor is here, he has to count his Lin Zuowei in the mainland, so the prince will urgently get a Qin Kejian to compete with him for the military power of this Lin Zuowei. So when the plan failed, they colluded with the horse bandits and wanted to ...... So this emperor still wants to ask him to enter the palace at the end of the year, but I don't know what actions are waiting for him from King Jing. A qiē has never been so clear, like a trickle of water flashed in his mind one by one, at the same time, he was also nervously calculating the gains and losses here, his side of the Yulin Left Guard has just undergone a major purge, it is already so important, that Yulin Right Guard, the Xiongwu Army is not even more important? But tonight the emperor only came here for himself. In his tone, he also wanted to make a big fuss about Yulin Zuowei, could it be that the other two armies were no longer trustworthy?

Li Dangdang is easy to understand, after all, he is the patriarch of the Li family, Li Yanlu is still pressing in Dali Temple, although this person's statement is good, but at this juncture it is really not enough to entrust.

What about the right guard of Yulin? Yulin Right Guard commanded Song Sheng, although he had never met this person, he heard that he was getting closer to the five princes. And themselves. Needless to say, King Jing's Mansion came out. A King Jing's private name can't run to the ground, so to speak...... Could this emperor be the most trusted King Jing? Thinking about his situation after entering Beijing, since Wuju, he has risen all the way to the position of the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, except for a Qin Kejian, there are almost no obstacles, and he has become more and more sure of his own idea.

At this time, although he was thinking far-reaching, but his mood was relaxed, Emperor Zhengde saw that he had not spoken, nor urged, but looked up and down the young man in front of him with interest, his face was a little flat, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was rude, there was nothing surprising, and the official uniform of the commander of the Di Yu Lin Wei was meticulously arranged, but from the color point of view, some places had been washed white, and the waist pole was quite straight after entering the hall, and the posture seemed more and more upright and not outstanding.

There is no longer any indication on the face that this is still a young man with strong blood, when he was contemplative, a pair of eyes that were originally a little indifferent occasionally flashed with light and were scary, that is, with his experience and knowledge, he had to say a sentence in his heart, sure enough, it was a hero out of a young man, the other party had not spoken, he was not angry in his heart, looking at the other party for two months, he became more and more calm and introverted, but a little envy rose in his heart, but then he also felt funny, he was the supreme emperor, but he wanted to envy a courtier, What if someone else knows? Won't it become a laughing stock?

Just when the two people in the hall were in a hurry, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Zhang Ze took the lead and walked in, and then commanded a group of little eunuchs to set up the table, and took out hot meals and fruits in several big food boxes and put them on.

Smelling the fragrance of vegetables, Zhao Shi couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he was busy all day today, and he just ate some hastily at noon, he was growing his body, and the amount of food was naturally terrifying, and he originally wanted to get some food at night, but he didn't want to be called here, and he thought about it nervously, and he didn't feel anything, but now he was hooked by this fragrance, and his stomach couldn't help but thunder, and his saliva was secreted much faster.

When Emperor Zhengde saw him, he couldn't help but smile, waved his hand to rebuke the people who had been fully arranged, and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Come, have a few drinks with me, it's not too late to talk about what you're full, well, isn't there such a sentence? The emperor is not a hungry soldier......" Speaking of this, he didn't feel funny, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "Don't be restrained, there are no others here, and no one will say that you are disrespectful in front of the king, and there is not enough wine and food, just ask them to add ......." ”

Zhao Shizi will not be polite, he thinks thoughtfully, in front of this emperor, you just obey the rules, if he doesn't like it in his heart, you can't get any better, if you are too pretentious, you will not be beautiful.

He didn't say much, he let the emperor sit first, and then sat down, and there was nothing to care about this food, and the wind and clouds generally ate half full first, but Emperor Zhengde didn't move his chopsticks next to him, just drank a few sips of wine, he drank a little bite, plus his body was weak, only these few mouthfuls of belly, his face was already flushed, and he stopped drinking......

"Your Majesty, this training is like a craftsman carving jade, you have to get a rough look out first, and then start in the subtleties and ponder it carefully.

The soldiers brought by the minister when he was in Gongyi County were different, most of them had seen the veterans of the battle array, so it didn't take so much trouble, the veterans took the new soldiers, and then let them see some real chapters, and once the timid heart was gone, it would be easy to become an army.

But Yulin Zuowei is different, to be honest, these soldiers are all not worried about food and clothing, and they have lived a stable life for a long time, and even the blood is gone, so they have to talk about friendship in everything, not to mention procrastination, and people's hearts are even more uneven, this is a taboo in the army......"

After eating half full, and then raising his head and drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Shi spoke......
