The Red Mansions

Chapter 269
Jia Heng rode on his horse, turned around and walked slowly towards Miyagi a few blocks away. At this moment, the soft sunshine of early winter fell on his face, dyeing a layer of gold on the young man's stern face, but his brows were deep and uncertain, and his heart A thought was welling up.

He was thinking about his relationship with Princess Jinyang.

He knew before that that he and Princess Jinyang 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 unswerving until death. It may be more of a speculative temperament and a desire for sex.

Princess Jinyang has been a widow for many years, especially as she approaches thirty and is approaching the age of a tiger and a wolf.

Originally, there were still children who were hugging their knees and giving them emotional comfort, but as the little princess grew up, how could it be possible not to be lonely?
To put it bluntly, Princess Jinyang at this age... misses a man.

He didn't want to be willing to degenerate to raise his face, and he didn't want to find someone to deal with at random, so he just happened to meet someone like him.

To put it shamelessly, even if Princess Jinyang is looking for a lover, there is almost no one more suitable than him in the past one or two years.

Those who are successful and famous are either too old or too ugly, and the princes and wealthy families are either embroidered pillows or dandies.

Unless she is backward compatible.

Such a self-made martial artist like him, who is not lacking in martial arts talents, and who is trusted by the emperor as his confidant, is such a big god, can he find a second one?

Well, Pu Xinnan is just like this.

Besides, people who are almost 30 years old are no longer girls.

What the little girl needs is a step-by-step temptation, but a woman of the age of Princess Jinyang knows what she wants, and she can already face her lust directly.

"There is a saying in later generations that teenagers who are fifteen or sixteen years old should look for those who are around 30 years old, because they are all ages of lust."

And the curve of a woman's relationship has always been not a proportional function, but an exponential function. The atmosphere is set in place, and it is possible to meet on the same day and have sex on the same day.

For a man, securing a relationship is the end of the strategy game, but for a woman, it's just the beginning of a new relationship.

"Just now, in fact, she just showed a little bit of thought, or she amplified some emotions after drinking, and said some probing words, but after that, it was actually me... Pushing forward, the atmosphere got so hot."

In the relationship between men and women, physical contact is the sign of escalation of intimacy.

But physical contact does not mean that it must be done step by step, holding hands first, and then hitting the base. This is not something the high-ranking 91 masters do, but it is leaping. Every breakthrough needs to be tested. is an adventure.

Experts are never afraid of this kind of adventure game, and even enjoy it, but the weak dare not take risks, afraid of turning their faces. When words and care are exhausted, the attraction gradually disappears, and they naturally become licking dogs.

Then, based on the mentality of sunk costs, I put all my eggs in one basket, confessed my feelings, got issued a good card, and then... nothing after that.

Only when there is every need to attack, make an inch, but never confess.

Jia Heng was thinking, and gradually approached the imperial city on horseback, handed the sign to the palace man, and then walked towards Daming Palace.

In the Daming Palace, in the side hall

Emperor Chongping sat behind the imperial case, holding a memorial in his hand, and read it intently. This is a memorial from Wang Ziteng's praise, mainly for the rectification of the Beijing camp.

With the method of selecting fronts, the old and weak in the army will be demobilized, and the old generals will be transferred away. However, this plan has a lot of resistance in the five-army governor's office.

Emperor Chongping put down the memorial, looked at Dai Quan who was at the side, and asked, "Has Jinyang gone to meet him?"

Dai Quan said with a smile: "When I came back, I saw Xia Houying leading Jia Ziyu's horse, and the other carriage was the carriage of Her Highness the Princess."

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and said: "The day before yesterday, Jinyang entered the palace and said that Huiheng Trading Co., Ltd. had already started planning to make a living in various places. He wanted to find Ziyu to ask his ideas, but I didn't know that Ziyu was also a way of cultivating merchants and goods."

Princess Jinyang actually thought of an excuse before welcoming Jia Heng, and Emperor Chongping didn't suspect anything else.

Because, firstly, Princess Jinyang had an agreement with Emperor Chongping back then, and secondly, Princess Jinyang has always kept herself clean, and she has never had any sex scandals in so many years.

"Your Majesty, first-class general Yunhui Jia Heng handed over the sign to enter the palace." At this moment, an inner eunuch entered the side hall and reported, interrupting Emperor Chongping's thoughts.

Emperor Chongping nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Xuan."

The inner eunuch turned around immediately.

Not long after, Jia Heng walked into the hall with a tall body, bowed and said: "I have seen the Holy One, long live the Holy One, long live the Holy One."

"Zi Yu is flat." Emperor Chongping had a faint smile on his face, and said to Dai Quan who was beside him, "Watch the seats."

Dai Quan obeyed and ordered the little inner supervisor to move an embroidery pier.

Jia Heng got up, thanked Dai Quan, did not take his seat, but clasped his hands and said in a loud voice: "My lord, the bandits in the counties of the three assistants have now been calmed down, and I have sent an order to my lord."

Emperor Chongping nodded with a smile, and said appreciatively, "Okay, I have read all the military newspapers since the past ten months. You mentioned that the Guoyong camp traveled north and south, traveled between states and counties, and worked hard to arrest thieves. I originally thought that It takes the end of the year to reap the full merit, and I don't want to act so vigorously."

Jia Hengdao: "General Lai's soldiers served their lives to death. I dare not take credit for them. It's just that the thieves and bandits are talented in the memorials. Most of them are refugees. They fled to Sanfu in order to make ends meet. They have chosen nearly ten thousand young and strong for my ministers. Make up for the Guoyong camp."

Emperor Chongping said: "I also had doubts about this matter before. Will the refugees join the army, will it affect the combat power of the Beijing camp? It is true, those with permanent property have perseverance. According to Wang Ziteng, they are not good families with clean backgrounds. 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 fellow citizens who left their hometowns in order to make a living due to natural disasters. Wang Jieshuai said that his family was not clean enough. I thought that I was afraid of the hearts of the people in Henan and Shandong provinces."

When Emperor Chongping heard the words, he was silent for a moment, then nodded for a moment.

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "If the refugees can be well-trained and express their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, they can also become a brave soldier to defend our Han territory. Besides, the refugees feel the grace of the Holy One for life, so why not repay it with death? On the contrary, if you don't care about it, I'm afraid that the refugees will still gather in the mountains and forests, causing disasters to the place, secretly instigating those who are ambitious again. The two armies in the Forbidden Chamber are more than one million high, and their food is exhausted, but they are useless in battle. I think that if we choose young and strong men for training and drills, the old story of Song's redundant army will never happen again."

If it is said that the Song Dynasty raised the forbidden army in vain and wasted money and food, then Chen Han did not give up. There are nearly 70 troops on the nine sides, plus the 30 million troops in the Beijing camp, which is also a million troops.

As for recruiting young and strong refugees to train the army, there is a saying in later generations that some low-end manufacturing assembly lines can be replaced by intelligence long ago, but there are still a lot of human labor, which is nothing more than a meager salary. as the maintenance cost.

This means that those who have permanent property have perseverance.

When Emperor Chongping heard the words, thought appeared on his majestic face, he pondered for a while, and said: "Ziyu's words are not without reason. Once the people's upheavals happen again and again, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."

Jia Heng said in a loud voice: "My sage is a sage, my ministers often read history books and speculate on the rise and fall of chaos in the past dynasties. At the end of the dynasty, the building will collapse, and it often arises from civil uprisings, such as Chen Wu Liu Xiang, the second generation of Qin Dynasty, For example, the green forest and red eyebrows of the former Han Dynasty, the Taiping yellow scarves of the later Han Dynasty, the Huang Zhuli of the late Tang Dynasty, the white lotus and red scarves of the Meng Yuan Dynasty...all of these are due to the more urgent collection of taxes, the extermination of the people, and the rampage of bandits, resulting in the loss of control of the central government and the decline of imperial power. , the ambitious people in the world, take advantage of the situation to rise up, so that the people can have a lot of 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 shaken slightly, and he tasted Jia Heng's words, only to feel that the words were precious. He was silent for a while, looked at Jia Heng with a clear gaze, nodded and said: "Qing's words are sincerely the theory of gold and stone, and the whip penetrates into it. "

Thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "For the refugees, didn't you mention military and civilian settlements in your memorial earlier? I think it is feasible."

Of course, there is still some hesitation about recruiting refugees into the Beijing camp.

As an emperor, you have to consider all aspects.

First, the young and strong from the two provinces of Shandong and Henan entered the capital camp. In the long run, the population imbalance and local farming will inevitably be delayed.

Secondly, there are soldiers from Hakka Province and soldiers from Sanfu, which are prone to conflicts.

There is also an invisible worry.

If too many refugees were recruited, wouldn't it be a Jin family in a corner of peace, and the refugees in the Beifu army had a lot of power, and Tai Ah would hold back?

Just as Jia Heng thought, recruiting more than [-] soldiers was the limit. As for the proposed strategy of selecting young and strong refugees to enter the camp, Emperor Chongping obviously did not adopt it.

"Juntun and Mintun, I will discuss with the cabinet in a few days. If it is feasible, I will send 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: "My sage is wise, but I think that I still need capable officials to carry out this kind of government of appeasing the people."

If the troops and civilians in Henan and Shandong are to be stationed, the people will inevitably be mobilized.

Emperor Chongping said: "The reorganization of the Beijing camp is imminent. In the Beijing camp, apart from training the Guoyong camp, you can make more suggestions and suggestions with Wang Qing. Although your two families are related by marriage, you don't have to shy away from it. Doubt, no doubt.”

Apparently Dai Quan reported Jia Heng's conversation with Wang Ziteng at the city gate just now, and just now Jia Heng refuted Wang Ziteng's argument, thinking that Jia Heng might be worried about being suspected, so he explained his doubts.

Jia Heng pondered and said: "Wang Jieshuai is old enough to seek the country, and he has a lot of hills and valleys in his chest. I think he has made a comprehensive plan for rectifying the Beijing camp. I dare not speak rashly and damage its arrangement. Kuang Chen is prosecuted with meager merits." As the commander of the school, he has restrained and braved the army, and he has already felt that his wisdom is weak and his strength is weak. Of course, if there is a good strategy, the minister will not be lazy and hide his clumsiness."

On the one hand, he wanted to supervise the army, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so he really couldn't spare time to make a knife for the prince.

The difficulty in rectifying the Beijing camp does not lie in checking the empty quota and weeding out the old and the weak, but 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 is very easy to become, whoever proposes will do more!

These are the four evils in the workplace: whoever proposes will do more, whoever can do more will do more, whoever is soft-hearted will do more, and whoever is honest will do more!
But let him play a bad face, and Wang Ziteng play a red face behind, to catch everyone's hope?
If Wang Ziteng can't withstand the pressure, sell him again?Appease the anger?
As for whether his resignation will affect the emperor's perception, it is actually limited, because there is no such a servant, and he has just returned, so he has to take a breather.

And the most important thing is that he just vaguely proposed the idea of ​​rectifying the Beijing camp, which was rejected by the emperor.

That is to say, the so-called strategy of recruiting young and strong migrants to enter the Beijing camp for training, killing many birds with one stone, was actually put on hold by the emperor for the time being.

This is normal, not every thought of his can be completely in tune with the emperor's thoughts, and keeping the more than ten thousand refugees who have been recruited and trained in the camp young and strong has achieved his political goal.

Wait for the new army to take shape, and then make another calculation.

Emperor Chongping thought for a while, and felt that with Jia Heng's qualifications and prestige, it seemed difficult to withstand the pressure of those honorable generals in the five-army governor's mansion, and said: "That's it for now, Li Dashi is the commander-in-chief." You are planning to run around, and you have been going to the Ministry of War recently."

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

Letting him go to the Ministry of War is exactly what he wants.

Suddenly he remembered something again, and said: "My lord, the emperor's sword is in the hands of my ministers, and my lord can take it back."

As he said that, he was about to untie the Tianzi sword on his waist.

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and said, "Take it away for now, maybe it will be useful to mention Guoyong Camp."

"I obey the order." Jia Heng's heart was a little touched when he heard the words.

This is the treatment of Renzong's Bao Longtu. Of course, this is Bao Heizi in Liyuan opera in this era. There is no record in official history that Bao Zheng bestowed Shang Fang with a sword.

Emperor Chongping smiled again, and said: "It's getting late, and I haven't returned in the past month. I don't know how to miss Qing's family. Go back and reunite with your family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Jia Heng cupped his hands.

Then, under the guidance of the inner eunuch, he left the Daming Palace and walked among the palace walls with vermilion eaves and green eaves. Since he was about to return home, his steps were a bit brisk.
