Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The urgent official letter from Xianbei Mansion to Beijing arrived at Luojing before the Double Ninth Festival.

At that time, Emperor Zhenyuan was hesitating about whether to accept the proposal from Jingzhou and Yuzhou prefectures to escort the migrants to Zhu's army.Just the night before the official letter arrived in Beijing, he ignored Zhu Chengyuan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and discussed with the Minister of Military Aircraft until the end of the night.

The emperor is the person who cherishes feathers the most in the whole world, and he can have Zhu Jiajun to share his worries, of course he will not worry about whether Zhu Jiajun can afford the crime afterwards.What made him hesitate was whether the soldiers of the first battalion of Zhu's army from the south would pose a threat to the safety of Xianbei and the northern border.

But just as the Minister of Military Aircraft said, the Zhu family's army did not march for one or two years, with a wealth of generals and strong military strength. It is by no means that the vacancy of a battalion of soldiers will affect its deterrence and combat power.

These words made Emperor Zhenyuan happy and worried at the same time.

As the emperor of Dajing, more than anyone else, he hopes that Dajing's army will be strong and deter his neighbors.

But also as a generation of emperors, he couldn't tolerate that Dajing's strongest army only recognized Zhu Shuai but not Sima.

Out of trust in the strength of the Zhu family's army, or perhaps because of this unhappiness in his heart, Emperor Zhenyuan finally made this decision.

But before he announced this will, Zhu's army's urgent official letter reached Tianting first.

Hearing that it was an urgent official letter from [-] miles with the commander's seal, the officials' eyelids twitched subconsciously like Emperor Zhenyuan—now there is no second Sima Yuqi who stabbed Marshal Zhu. This time, could it be... ...what's the big deal?

The emperor and all his ministers were mentally prepared for the worst in an instant. When they heard that it was Xianbei Mansion's request for the allocation of materials and silver in advance in winter, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Xiangzhihu went out and said: "Your Majesty, according to my ministers, we must pay attention to the request of the Marshal of the Army and Horses. In the past, before winter, the former Xianbei ministries would fight with me, especially in the bad winter. The year has arrived earlier. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people and reduce the casualties of the people, I think that Marshal Zhu's request is urgent."

There were rustling discussions among the ministers, the left servant of Hubu looked at the calm Shangfeng in front of him, and was about to move, when he was stopped by the right servant of Hubu.

The two servants on the left and right had always been tit for tat in the past, but they didn't dare to make noise in front of the emperor in the court.Zuo Shilang was so annoyed that he missed the opportunity, he only heard Chang Shouan, Minister of the Ministry of War in front of him, loudly said: "Your Majesty, I am following what the prime minister said. However, not only the people of Xianbei Mansion, but also the soldiers stationed in Xianbei should also give cotton-padded clothes. Waiting for things to keep out the cold and medicinal herbs to drive away the cold, so as not to damage my army's strength in the long winter."

"What Chang Shangshu said is very true, and the minister seconded it."

Fang Bo, the left servant of Hubu, raised his head in astonishment when he heard this voice, it was not his immediate superior, Shangshu Hubu, who just made a second voice!

Just listen to Li Shangshu continuing: "The Ministry of Households has already planned to deal with the silver artifacts in Xianbei Mansion and Liangzhou for the winter. However, I did not expect that the winter in the north will be advanced. I hope that your majesty will allow one day to wait for the ministers and the Ministry of Households Colleagues have finished their inventory and clearing, and then hand over the specific statement."

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Fang Bo's forehead!

If the right servant hadn't stopped him just now, he might lose his official title at this moment!

Because the high-spirited talk he was going to make just now was just an excuse about the shortage of money in the household department, and at this moment, colleagues from all over the top and bottom were echoing their opinions. If he really said it just now, he might become the second person to be regarded as a slander by His Majesty. The courtiers who are in charge of the court.

Emperor Zhenyuan listened for a while, and said: "The Ministry of War and the Household Department will jointly handle this matter, and the report will be handed over tomorrow morning. This batch is urgently needed, so there should be no delay, understand?"

"The minister leads the order."

"The minister leads the order."

The two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance immediately said.

His Majesty the emperor's voice paused for a while, and then said: "I have one more thing to do today. Five days ago, Jingzhou and Yuzhou Zhou Mu wrote a letter requesting the Zhu family army sent south to escort the immigrant people into Xianbei."

"I have thought about it again and again. Firstly, the migration time is tight, and the time spent by Zhu's army to the south is too long. Secondly, Zhu's army has another important responsibility to protect the northern border, so don't get distracted. Now Zhu Aiqing is explaining that Xianbei's winter is coming early, Xianbei There will be a tough battle to be fought in the future. Whether the people of Xianbei Mansion can be stable and submit to Dajing is a matter of one action. Therefore, I will send troops in Jingzhou and Yuzhou territories to escort the migrants to the original northern border defense line, and then Let the Zhu family army take over the stability and emigration of the people. My lords, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise, and I second the proposal."

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the minister seconded the proposal."

This is one of the great benefits of Zhu Zhenliang's previous prosecution of the five major crimes against Ma Yuqi, the former governor of Xianbei Prefecture.

The Xianbei that was emphasized at that time were the people of the Dajing Xianbei ethnic group, and this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.No one regards Xianbei as the enemy and bandits anymore, and regards them as the people of Dajing just like the people of Liangzhou, so naturally no one will object.

There was a sound of seconding, Emperor Zhenyuan nodded, looked at Zhongshu Ling and said: "Jia Aiqing, the Ministry of Zhongshu will draw up the order as soon as possible. Today, I will pass on my will to Xianbei, Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Be sure to let them Work with all your heart, before the cold winter, the migrants must have a place to live in Xianbei and food to receive."

Jia Zhongshu hurriedly said, "I would like to follow His Majesty's will."

After the morning was over, no one noticed that the left servant of the household department was drenched in sweat.

He hastily followed the footsteps of the left servant of the household department, and after leaving the Golden Luan Hall, he said in a low voice: "Thank you for the kindness of Sun Shilang, I, Fang Bo, will definitely repay it in the future."

Although Fang Bo, the servant on the left, and Sun Huqi, the servant on the right, usually argue with each other in order to argue with each other in front of Li Shangshu, but if what happened today was not for Sun Huqi, Fang Bo would not be able to please him.

He is not a person who does not know good and bad, so he is naturally grateful to Sun Huqi.But it was also because he didn't deal with it on weekdays, so he made it clear that he would definitely repay him in the future and return his kindness for helping, so as not to have other hooks.

Sun Huqi also lowered his voice: "You and I are both household servants, so we should help each other out."

Fang Bo gave up a smiling face, but he was still confused.

He didn't understand why Mr. Shangfeng, who has always been against the Zhu family army... oh, no, he has always been at odds with the major armies, wishing to see the national treasury as hard as he could get in, why did he support Zhu Zhenliang's memorabilia today? Not a single word.According to the traditional style of their household department, it is absolutely impossible to be so straightforward in giving such a large sum of money.

Sun Huqi saw his question, and sneered in his heart: This Fang Boqi is so stupid, and he still wants to compete with him in front of Lord Shangshu?Don't you know that from the beginning to the end, he has always been the head of the household department. If one day Li Shangshu can't handle things, he will be the first to push him out.

But he kindly explained it to Fang Bo, lest this mindless thing is not dedicated enough to do this and cause trouble for the entire household department.

"Fang Shilang, I'm afraid you didn't know about the fact that you just took over the silver capital of the Northern Territory. When the Northern Territory reaches the twelfth lunar month of winter, the dripping water will turn into ice for four whole months. If the soldiers cannot be fed and clothed at this time, they will be incapable in the coming year." Laziness will affect the stability of the northern border defense. This amount of money can't be saved. Especially in Xianbei Prefecture, if those people can't get food, I'm afraid they will have to go south to grab it again. Lord Shangshu has already prepared, and I think it's recently I'm too busy to tell you."

Fang Bo's face darkened, and the thanks just now disappeared in his mocking eyes. He shook his sleeves and snorted coldly, striding after Hubu Shangshu who had already gone down the ladder.

At noon, Ning Heng heard detailed news from the people below.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ning Heng didn't mention Zhu Dingbei's decision to go up this morning. He secretly looked at Zhu Dingbei who was laughing and cursing with Lou Anning and Qin Xi, and never saw a trace of sadness on his face.

...He didn't talk to himself about the troubles of escorting the migrants. Presumably, the old Hou Ye concealed the news.And now, things are still fully resolved.

Zhu Dingbei didn't notice Ning Heng's strangeness, so he rejected Ning Heng's invitation to go with him after school, and he galloped away one step ahead of them.

Today is the day when Dad's official letter arrives in the capital, and he can't wait to go back and hear the result of the migrant escort.Unknown to him, Ning Heng watched the back of his gallant horse fly away, his eyes seemed to be grayed by the raised dust, and the originally clear luster dimmed little by little.

Zhu Dingbei jumped off his horse, and no matter who took over his beloved horse, he said to Zhu Sand who came up to him, "Is Grandpa in the study?"

"here I am."

Zhu San's face was full of joy, presumably something good happened today.

Sure enough, the old Hou Ye was happily drinking in the study. Seeing Zhu Dingbei push the door in, he waved: "My dear grandson, come quickly. I am happy today. Grandpa allows you to have a drink with Grandpa, haha."

"Decree made?"

Zhu Dingbei took the wine glass and asked while sitting down.

Old Hou Ye nodded: "I heard that His Majesty has drawn up a decree yesterday, but unfortunately, it didn't come in handy. Today, the court decreed that we only need to welcome the migrants at the border. It's simple, you Dad won't mess it up."

Zhu Dingbei drank a glass of wine, smiled and exhaled hot alcohol: "That's good."

"But, it's still a troublesome thing after all." Old Hou Ye squeezed the crispy fried peanuts, rubbed off the red skin, and put the milky white peanuts in the palm of his grandson for him to eat.While rubbing, he said, "I don't know what happened to these migrants when they arrived at the border. If a lot of people got sick and died, we would have picked up a hot potato."

Zhu Dingbei shook his head: "Life and death are determined by the Zhu family's army. Don't worry, grandpa, as long as the people under Father's subordinates take a good count of the population and sign the documents with the escorting army."

Old Hou Ye drank a cup beautifully, and when he heard Zhu Dingbei's words, he only nodded and laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.

Zhu Dingbei shook his head helplessly, and said: "Grandpa, drink less, dinner is about to start, be careful that grandma will not be happy if she finds out."

"Drink another bowl."

The old Hou Ye hurriedly poured wine for himself, rushed to drink it, and then sighed: "Don't talk too much, wait for Grandpa to change his clothes before going to see Mrs. Guigui Hou, she will naturally not know."

Zhu Dingbei laughed out of embarrassment, grabbed the jug and dropped him, saying: "Then I will go to pay my respects to my grandmother first, and Grandpa can clean up so that I can meet Mrs. Hou in person."

Old Hou Ye: "You son of a bitch."

It's been a long time since I drank so happily, the old Hou Ye smelled the fragrance of the wine that was still in the wine bowl, sniffed it intoxicatedly, then put down the wine bowl and got up.

It's time to change out of this alcohol-stained clothes.

Otherwise, Mrs. Hou is so powerful that Master Hou can't bear it.
