Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The debate on emigration remained inconclusive until the end of April.

Migrating people one after another wastes people's money and money, so the whole court thinks that they should migrate from one place at a time.

In such a large Xianbei Prefecture, the migration of tens of thousands of people is just a drop in the bucket, and the memorial of Xianbei Zhoumu stated that there were millions of people.

Not to mention that there were too many unforeseen disasters on the way for the 100 million people to leave in such a mighty way, the number of people alone would hollow out several cities, and the damage to a state should not be underestimated.

The state shepherds of the nineteen prefectures other than Xianbei are all reporting their duties in Luojing. Whenever a courtier proposes to move to a certain place, the state shepherds who are closely related to the state will tell the consequences to the big ones, as if once the court insists on going its own way, it will lead to public anger and riots , how do not agree to emigrate from this state.

The five prefectures adjacent to Xianbei were originally the first choice for immigrants, but they themselves have a relatively small population.

This is another long-term plan.

Emperor Zhenyuan threw down the memorial several times in the early court, flung his sleeves and retreated from the court, but it still didn't help.

If something goes wrong, who will be the eternal sinner?Even the emperor dare not, let alone other people.

At the end of April, the racecourse in Changxinhou Mansion was just when the grass was growing and warblers were flying, which was a good time for horse racing.On the rest day at the end of the month, Ning Heng invited a few people to race horses at the Houfu Racecourse, and Qin Xi also brought his two cousins.

Qin Miehu and her husband had two sons and a daughter together. The two brothers Teng Qinping and Teng Qinliang grew up with their mother in the military camp since they were young. They are quite good at equestrian skills.

This is exactly what Zhu Dingbei wanted. With these two people as his companions, he couldn't even let Uncle Ning's big meal make him leave after soaking in the racecourse all day.

Lou Anning was out of breath, slid off the horse in the end, and said weakly, "Where did the Changsheng horse come from? Why, ahem, why is it so powerful."

He couldn't wait to pour water into his mouth, and unexpectedly choked on it.

Lou Ankang was distressed, he waved his hands indifferently, and still sighed: "Did Ah Heng steal a treasure for him to eat alone again?"

There were still Ning Heng and Qin Xi following Zhu Dingbei and the Teng brothers on the field. Neither Lou Ankang nor Jia Jiaming were pushy, they left the field early. It was not easy for Lou Anning to last until this moment.

Hearing his complaints, Jia Jiaming laughed at him: "Those are the war horses of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. Changsheng said that they were afraid they would become useless in the capital, so they were sent here two months earlier to be released."

war horse!

No wonder then.

Seeing that his younger brother was still not convinced, Lou Ankang said helplessly: "A few mares in Changsheng's mansion have successfully bred here. You can talk to Changsheng and ask him to keep a pony for you, and it will last for three years. I will not stop you if you want to ride a war horse."

Lou Anning's eyes lit up, and he stopped drinking water.He hastily threw the water bag to his elder brother, and ran forward to cheer Zhu Dingbei up. After a while, he ate several mouthfuls of flying dust and grass foam, and came back with a bitter face, making Lou Ankang and Jia Jiaming laugh. .

Lunch is used casually on the racecourse, a few children are sitting on the ground shapelessly, starving ghosts seem to be reincarnated, picking vegetables into the bowl to dig rice, not to mention the energy - the rice that was snatched is extraordinarily delicious !

I didn't give up until my stomach swelled after eating.

Ning Heng pulled Zhu Dingbei up to digest food, and several people followed closely behind, leading the horse for a stroll, talking and laughing, not to mention how happy they were.

Teng Qinliang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Mandao Luojing is a master at eating, drinking and having fun. Looking at it today, it's really not nonsense. My brother and I want to eat meat in Pingzhou and we have to hunt wild food ourselves. Hey, today's What a great meal."

Seeing his satisfied smile, several people knew that he was not making fun of them, but telling the truth.

Lou Anning wondered: "Although Pingzhou is not rich, Uncle Teng is also a shepherd of a state. How can the family not even have a meal of meat? Could it be that Pingzhou is more miserable than Liangzhou?"

His family has distant relatives who came from Liangzhou to seek refuge, so they have heard of the suffering of Liangzhou's soldiers and horses.In his opinion, there is no place in Dajing more bitter and cold than Liangzhou.

Qin Xi interjected, "My cousin was brought up by my aunt in the military barracks since he was three years old. What good food can there be there?"

"I heard that Aunt Qin is the captain of the navy, so have you ever been on a big ship and fought against pirates?"

Lou Ankang and Lou Anning spoke in unison, the tacit understanding between the twins is extraordinary.

Seeing their bright eyes, Teng Qinliang blushed with embarrassment, pulled his face and said stiffly: "My mother said that I have to be 15 years old to go to the battlefield. I am still two years away. However, my elder brother participated in the battle last year. After the war, I also slaughtered the heads of two pirates to claim credit!"

Speaking of later, he completely put aside his depression, and his tone was full of admiration and admiration for his brother.

The eyes of several people looked at Teng Qinping.

Teng Qinping was a few years older than them. He was sixteen years old. He was dark-skinned but steady and mature.

Seeing their burning eyes, Teng Qinping said in a little embarrassment: "It's nothing. My Dajing Pingzhou Navy and Guangzhou Navy are both called the North and the South. They are very powerful. Most of the pirates in our hands never come back. .I just followed behind to take advantage of mistakes, and now I am only a corporal leader, and my peers at the same age are much better than me."

Teng Qinliang was much more lively than his elder brother, and said loudly: "That's not true! A Niang said that you have the style of a Confucian general, you are courageous and decisive in doing things, but also cautious and alert. She has never praised others so much. Brother, don't be discouraged. Sooner or later you will become a great general!"

A few people were almost dying of envy, staring at the future general, just wanting to see how the people who killed the enemy were different from them.

Especially Qin Xi, his eyes were red with jealousy: "I told my father that when I was 15 years old, I was going to join my aunt and join the army, but my father and father didn't agree! If I were to spend my whole life in Luojing What's the point of waiting? If you're in a hurry, I'll learn from Ming and senior brother and go to the army without stopping!"

These words startled Jia Jiaming, and before he could persuade him, Zhu Dingbei said disdainfully, "Do you have the skills of Brother Ming and Senior Brother or his brains? Don't be ashamed, you will die before you leave the school." , don’t say it’s my brother, otherwise I won’t have the face to go out.”

"Changsheng, how can you grow other people's aspirations and destroy your own prestige."

Qin Xi was not happy all over. Since Dong Ming and the incident that caused a sensation in Luo Jing, it was not the first day he had this idea.

Just as Lou Anning was about to agree, Lou Ankang pulled him back and persuaded him, "Brother Minghe is different from you. No one in the Dong family has served in the army. You are different. Look at your father or uncle, which one of you didn't retire from the barracks?" You came back? When you are old enough, even if you don’t want to go, your father will whip you, so don’t worry about it.”

When Qin Xi heard this was the truth, he happily said: "I'll just say it. If you don't go to Pingzhou, don't go. I don't need my aunt to take care of me. When the time comes, I will go to Liangzhou or Ningzhou. I will make my own way." Career—You guys, especially you, die forever, just wait to see the majesty of my Great General Qin! Haha!"

Saying that, he was overjoyed.

Zhu Dingbei shook his head, and said sourly: "You can become a general with a touch of your mouth, and you don't have to be ashamed."

Qin Xi snorted, ignored him, and chased after his eldest cousin to ask him about his deeds in the battle.Teng Qinping's narration was unremarkable, but it still made several people startled and amazed again and again.

Zhu Dingbei sighed, a little envious of the liveliness of these children.

The battlefield... I haven't dreamed of that long-lost place for a long time.

Ning Heng held his wrist and pulled him closer.

Zhu Dingbei looked back at him, saw him squeeze his wrist reassuringly, and said in a low voice: "If you want to go back, I can...help you."

Zhu Dingbei was stunned for a moment, Ning Heng said it too seriously, which made him a little distracted for a while.

After a while, he laughed: "Damn it, the young master is living freely in Luojing, let's enjoy the blessings that my father and brother didn't enjoy first, and then talk about it."

He laughed foolishly, threw off Ning Heng's hand and got on the horse, lowered his head and said to him, "Let's go for a walk."

When Ning Heng got on the horse, he did not forget to tell him: "Don't ride too fast, it's not good for your health."

Hearing what he said was old-fashioned, Zhu Dingbei scolded, and took a step forward with his horse's stomach.

Lou Anning yelled from behind: "Changsheng! You are too unjust, I have something to tell you, just wait for me!"

Several people quickly got on their horses and followed.

I was so full after eating that I didn't dare to run fast.

The horses are strolling, grazing with their heads down from time to time, the sun is shining brightly, and the wind in early summer is fresh and soft, making people sleepy comfortably.

Lou Anning told about the pony cub, and immediately got Qin Xi's approval.

Zhu Dingbei has always been generous to his own people, pretending to be hesitant to make their necks red from anxiety, and then he let go, and promised to give each of them a horse.

Teng Qinliang said regretfully: "We will be returning to Pingzhou in a few days, otherwise, when Ma Zai'er grows up, I can have the cheek to carry him back."

"There are too many monks, so don't come to join in the fun. Second cousin, how many war horses do you want in the barracks? Don't take advantage of us."

Qin Xi shouted.

Lou Ankang was surprised: "Didn't you say that it's the end of May? Why are you leaving so soon? Is it Pingzhou..."

Teng Qinping shook his head, "Pingzhou is still relatively peaceful. It's just that Father's petition cannot be approved. The imperial court is busy with the emigration of Xianbei people, and it will take time in Luojing. We can only go back and make plans."

Seeing that he was not happy, Jia Jiaming looked at the few people and said softly: "The timing is not right now. I heard from my family that the Zhongshu has already planned to send [-] garrisons to Enzhun Xianbei Mansion, and transfer Fan Wenfan, the general stationed in Bingzhou As the general of the Fifth Battalion, he is permanently stationed in Xianbei Mansion."

Jia Jiaming's father is Zhongshu Ling, who is in charge of drafting the imperial edict. The news coming out of him must be correct.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were transferred to Xianbei, and there is such a big event as emigration, which is a waste of money and money. It is impossible to transfer troops to Pingzhou Prefecture this year.

Teng Hui didn't get such exact news, but when he visited Luo Jing's colleagues, he knew that there was no room for recovery, so he stopped.Now with Jia Jiaming's words, the hopelessness of increasing troops in Pingzhou is a certainty.

Zhu Dingbei's eyes flickered.

Fan asked, his old acquaintance.

This old guy is domineering and harsh. In the army, he only admires his father. He has never taken him seriously as the young commander of the Zhu family army. He has often made trouble for him in the past.Unexpectedly, when he and his father were trapped in the chaos, it was he who led him out of the siege to save his life.It's a pity that he can't listen to his words and live in mediocrity, which has failed him a lot.

Thinking of the old man, Zhu Dingbei was restless, and he came back to his senses only after hearing a loud roar in his ear.

"...Longevity!"

I saw Lou Anning looking at him with puffed lips, "Where did Hunfei go? I called you several times and didn't agree. Could it be that he fell asleep on the horseback? Zai Shizai——Little Zhu Houye!"

He deliberately elongated his voice to make himself and his friends amused.

Zhu Dingbei said angrily, "Why did you call me?"

"Hey, we were talking just now. Ah Heng said that your Tang Chizi in the western suburbs has been built, and we just in time to play before Teng's cousin leaves. What do you think?"

Zhu Dingbei snorted, "Just ask Ah Heng about this kind of thing."

He glanced at the silent Ning Heng, and said generously, "Of course I welcome you if you want to warm up, but you just opened a small business, so remember to bring me a congratulatory gift."

Several people yelled, saying that Zhu Dingbei was stubborn and stingy.

After laughing and laughing, there was another chase with the horse, and it was not until the sunset was slanting to the west that the horse returned.
