Shiqing does not regret

It's been a while since Yan Shu returned to her mansion, and Nuo Shang was already waiting in the main hall.

Yan Shu and Nuo Shang have known each other since they were six years old, when Nuo Shang was ten years old.After Wen Zhengkang's death, her uncle sent her to Lancang, Shaoshi Mountain, to practice martial arts, so Yan Shu and Nuo Shang could be regarded as brothers and sisters of the same school.When he first met Yan Shu, he didn't know why the little girl was so taciturn and depressed all day long.This also made many brothers and sisters of the same school not pay much attention to Yan Shu, but only Nuo Shang did not alienate the sad and gloomy junior sister in front of him. Maybe it is such a young playmate who can give more trust to Yan Shu.When Nuo Shang knew that the young junior sister was bearing such a blood feud at such a young age, Nuo Shang secretly swore that she must protect Yan Shuanran.

Perhaps this is why Nuo Shang has been by Yan Shu's side for so many years.In fact, Nuo Shang's martial arts should be higher than Yan Shu's, but Nuo Shang gave up his fame and career, willing to submit to Yan Shu and become an unknown bodyguard of Yan's residence.Perhaps, this is a kind of elder brother's love for his younger sister, or it may be a kind of childhood sweetheart's determination.But no matter which one, Nuo Shang never mentioned it.

"My lord, the Ministry of War has sent someone to deliver the Minister's badge and official uniform of the Ministry of War today. This Jing Wang Chongming forced a hot potato into your hand. We all know that there have been frequent wars in recent days, and the feudal towns have been separated. The situation is getting worse day by day, with external worries and internal turmoil. The higher-ups are afraid that the soldiers will cause a mutiny and continue to send troops to suppress it, but the soldiers in the camp are still unstable. The current military chaos does not mean that it can be quelled. And although the emperor asked My lord went to the Ministry of War, but the tiger talisman was not in my hand, it was still in the hands of the former chief soldier Tan Yue, isn't this lord like a puppet minister?" Seeing Yan Shu's return, Nuo Shang cut straight to the point before she sat down.

"Tomorrow we will go straight to the West Campus outside the city with the letter of appointment. What we need to do now is to stabilize the soldiers and boost the morale of the army." Yan Shu raised her lips. Every time she looked like this, Nuo Shang knew that she had already made up her mind. A game of chess.

I saw Yan Shu walked to the pillar curtain on the right side of the hall, took down the sword that he had been rewarded by the emperor since he won the martial arts, and said softly: "Although the sword has melted for a long time, it can still cut iron when it is unsheathed." There are times when it shines.

The next day, Yan Shu wore the official uniform of the Minister of War and rode a tall horse to the entrance of Chang'an West School, followed by Nuo Shang on horseback.

"The last general has been waiting for Yan Shangshu for a long time." The leading general Dong Chong led several deputy generals to wait for the young Shangshu's arrival at the entrance of the school early in the morning.In fact, the soldiers did not have a good impression of this young soldier. The officials above the court only knew how to talk about military affairs on paper and how to lead the army. They asked the soldiers how many were convinced.The emperor is stupid, but sent some powerless civil servants into this military camp. He didn't know how bitter the soldiers of this military camp are. I'm afraid that Yan Shangshu who came this time will pour cold water on the hearts of the soldiers. .

"General Dong doesn't need to be too polite. Since I am in charge of the military department with the grace of the emperor, it is only natural that I should share the joys and sorrows with all the soldiers. I also invite General Dong to take me to review the military power."

"No." Dong Chong led Yan Shu into the school grounds. At this time, the soldiers were standing straight and orderly, waiting for the commander's order.

Dong Chong noticed Yan Shu's eyes, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers: "Start training", and then the horn sounded.

All the soldiers heard the sound of the horn, held the pistol in their hands, and set up their positions, but only one of them held the pistol with his hand, as if he didn't hear the sound of the horn, more like he did it deliberately.

At the end of the drill, Dong Chong couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Five rows and five rows of soldiers from Shence Battalion come out."

"The last general is here." The voice was neither humble nor overbearing. The man who came out was probably in his early thirties, with a green beard on his face, dark skin, and several scars on his arms, which indicated that the young soldier must have been a soldier who had fought in the battlefield.

"What's the name?" Dong Chong yelled at the young soldiers.

"The last general's surname is Li and his name is Chang'an, and he belongs to the Shence Battalion." His voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no trace of cowardice.

"Come on, tie Li Chang'an up for me. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, those who disobey the discipline in the military drills will have fifty battles." Dong Chong waved his hands to the soldiers at the side, then turned his head, facing Yan Yan Shu knelt down and said: "The last general has no way to govern the soldiers, and offended the lord, and I hope the lord will forgive me."

At this moment, Li Chang'an, who was pinned to the ground, also shouted loudly: "The general will not accept."

Yan Shu ignored Dong Chong, stepped forward, and asked loudly, "If you dare to ask General Li, why don't you agree?"

"However, there has been a saying since ancient times that before soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Our soldiers march to fight in order to defend our home and country, and we must have enough food in our stomachs. However, the food distributed by the court is moldy brown rice, and the last general will eclipse it. My hands and feet are weak all day long, and I don’t know what to do, so I can’t support this daily practice, I dare to ask my lord, what is the crime in the end?”

Yan Shu was secretly startled when he heard this, and couldn't help being angry, turned his head towards Dong Chong, and said in a low voice: "Is there such a thing?"

Some people can be powerful without being angry, and Yan Shu at this time does have such power.

Dong Chong was overwhelmed by Yan Shu's sudden hostility, and immediately fell to his knees: "Forgive me, Lord Yan, but there will be hardships in the end."

"Come on, go to the kitchen and bring me all the rice." Yan Shu looked up at the two attendants beside her.

The attendants carried all the rice out of the kitchen and piled it on the ground.Yan Shu took out his dagger and cut open the rice sack, took out the brown rice, and could smell the musty smell without even tasting it.Then Yan Shu cut open the remaining bag of brown rice.

"Bastard." Yan Shu fell to the ground with the brown rice in his hand, very angry.Although she thought that the imperial court was stupid, it would not involve the food of the soldiers. She did not expect that the stupid court would show no mercy to the soldiers who defended their homes and the country, "General Dong, please explain to me, let the soldiers eat What is brown rice for?"

Dong Chong was startled by Yan Shu's sudden anger. He knelt on the ground and lowered his head to quibble, "I don't know, the general. The rice was sent by the Ministry of Households, so the general didn't know. In the past, it was just soldiers sent by Qin Huotou and Huotou." However, after the handover this time, Qin Huotou went home to visit his relatives on the grounds that his mother was seriously ill, and there has been no news of it so far."

"How long have the soldiers been eating this moldy rice?" Yan Shu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Dong Chong replied hesitantly: "It's been more than half a month after eating."

"Bastard, you clearly know that the moldy rice is poisonous, yet you allow the soldiers to eat it, and you turn a deaf ear to it and lie to your subordinates. Come here, drag Dong Chong out and punish him with a stick, so as to make an example to others."

"Sir, forgive me..."

Yan Shu ignored Dong Chong's shouting, straightened his body, and shouted to the soldiers in the camp: "Soldiers, I will seek justice for you in this matter, and please give me a deadline of three days. Three days For a period of time, I will bring you military rations." Then he turned around and sternly shouted at Li Chang'an, "You do have a bit of courage, but you actually ignored discipline in the training ground, and asked General Li what to do according to military law. Punish you?"

"As long as your lord can seek justice for all the soldiers in our barracks, Li Chang'an is willing to be punished."

"Okay. Come on, let me release Li Changan, and I will deal with it in three days." Yan Shu got on the horse immediately and turned around.

The originally silent military camp Dazhai suddenly heard a neat voice: "No! No! No!"

Yan Shu immediately looked down at Nuo Shang: "You go to Shence Youjun to transfer the three-day army rations."

At this time, the army shouted louder, like a kind of trust in the young official, like admiration for the young minister.
