Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

Yun Lang took the epee from Xiao Shuo, threw the great seal of the grand master's residence on the table, and untied the cloak with one hand.

"Major General, don't worry too much."

Jing Jian closed the door tightly, and put the newly received gift list on the table: "Now in the Shuofang army, the commander is still General Yue."

The Jin people invaded, and Shuofang's army went out of the city to meet the enemy, but the entire prefect's mansion was busy giving gifts.

The sound of war drums and golden swords came from afar, sandwiched between the respectful and welcoming voices, the murderous intent mixed with joy, it was almost too far away to be heard clearly.

Yun Lang drank the ginseng soup and was dumbfounded: "I'm not worried."

"Such large and small battles, the Shuofang army has been stationed in these years, and has fought no fewer than a hundred battles."

Jing Jian said: "Although Tiefutu is fierce, with General Yue around, they will not let them take advantage of it."

Yun Lang asked: "General Yue or Qin Fenglu's appeasement envoy?"

"Yes." Jing remonstrated, "he has not been promoted or demoted in the court these years. We went to the Privy Council to check...he sent people to give gifts several times and walked around the door."

Yun Lang nodded, wiped his hands clean, took a piece of snack and took a bite: "Who is the Arsenal Envoy?"

"Zhang Luo." Jing remonstrated, "I used to be a regiment training envoy, and the left guard—"

Yun Lang: "Forwarder?"

Jing Jian was taken aback for a moment, then stopped talking: "Chai Lin."

"Remind me that there is someone in the Prison Division..."

Yun Lang pondered for a while: "Who is the Chang Ping envoy?"

Jing remonstrated: "Ni Cheng."

Yun Lang nodded and ate the snack slowly.After wiping off his hands, he dragged Xiao Xiaowang to pull him over, found a small stack of papers in Xiao Shuo's sleeve, and took out a bamboo tube pen.

Jing Jian had already prepared a box full of detailed materials, but now he only gave a few names, and even a word was useless.

Jing Jian stood on the spot, seeing that Yun Lang had lowered his head to write and draw, he was stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Young General, do you still remember these people?"

"There's nothing surprising about that."

Yun Lang said: "Go and surprise the little prince, he remembers all the promotion, appointment and dismissal of important officials in the past ten years, and the number one scholar of all dynasties."

"Your Highness is naturally extraordinary."

Jing Jian smiled bitterly: "It's just that these people were the most ordinary guards and partial generals at the beginning, and the generals thought..."

"What do you think?" Yun Lang didn't have time to chat and didn't raise his head, "Come help me sharpen the ink."

Jing Jian stood for a moment, was glanced at by Yun Lang, finally stopped talking, and quickly walked over to get the inkstone and ink ingot.

Just now, Yunlang and Xiao Shuo pretended to be people from Beijing, and they frightened Pang Xia in the prefect's mansion.Jing Jian was also able to take time out, and borrowed the seal of this prefect to enter the government office, and cross-examined the military administration of the current Yunzhou Prefecture and the border of northern Xinjiang.

These foolish officials are free and unrestrained, racking their brains all day long to make money and collect money. They are well aware of the intricacies of Beijing and China, and whoever has a new concubine can speak clearly and clearly.

But when it comes to local government affairs, I don't know what to ask, and I can't even match the name of the fourth division.

Jing Jian buried his head in grinding the ink, watching Yun Lang spread out the paper.

Almost without thinking carefully, Yun Lang and Xiao Shuo whispered about the situation in northern Xinjiang, and his subordinates kept going, and there were already a series of incomplete names on the paper.

The appeasement envoy is in charge of military and civil affairs, the transfer envoy is in charge of money and food, and the criminal and prison affairs are in charge of the constitutional department.The Changping envoy is in charge of the Changping granary. The Changping envoy of Qinfeng Road is also in charge of the granary for war reserves.

These are all officials who do things. They seem to be vacancies, but in fact, the tasks of their subordinates are extremely complicated.The money and food are posted in pen and pen, and it is just a transfer loan from the court, and there is almost no oil to scrape.

……

But if you want to firmly grasp the lifeline of a state and a place, you need to rely on these humble local officials.

Back then when King Duan seized the throne, his strength in Beijing was not as good as that of the sixth prince, but the legacy left in the northern border is still extremely solid.

The city of Shuofang, a prefecture and county under Qinfeng Road, is tightly guarded. Dali Temple and the Privy Council have been chasing and beating them all these years.

Over the years, it is precisely this impenetrable net that has been able to forge the northern border into a solid piece of iron when the government orders of the court and the central government have become so weak, firmly blocking the fierce iron cavalry in the north.

"Subordinate officials, since there are several major generals...the last general will not say more."

Jing Jian suppressed his emotions, researched the ink for Yun Lang, and said to Xiao Shuo: "General Yue, Your Highness, pay more attention."

Xiao Shuo found out the name in Yun Lang's pen: "General Guide, Yue Qu."

"Yes."

Jing Jian nodded: "This person is a bit difficult to deal with... If your Highness wants to see him, you must choose the time when the major general is there, so as not to cause trouble."

There is no doubt that there is something in his words, Xiao Shuo raised his eyes when he heard the words, put down the ginseng soup that General Yun had drunk half, and waited quietly for the next sentence.

Jing Jian hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "General Yue...is not from the former king."

General Guide, Qin Fenglu Bing Maqian governs Yuequ.

The ancestral system of this dynasty emphasized literature and restrained military affairs, and the forbidden army was firmly controlled by the palace, and the rest were nothing more than recruited troops from the villages and states.Most of the aristocratic families are unwilling to be involved, and the background of the generals is much lower.

Yue Qu was born in a poor and humble family. As a young man, he was recruited into the Shuofang Army as a naturalized soldier.Over the years, he has repeatedly been promoted in an exceptional manner. With his military achievements, he has supplemented the martial arts and martial arts doctors one after another, and he has become a Yunzhou observation envoy along the way.

"If there were no accidents at the beginning, according to the regulations, General Yue should have been appointed as the commander of the Shuofang Army and served as the chief general of the Shuofang Army."

Jing Jian said in a low voice, "But... at that time, the people of Liao suddenly came to attack."

"Shuofang's army was exhausted after a long battle, and it followed the old military system of Emperor Taizong's time. Suddenly, they encountered the Khitans who had been waiting for their opportunity for a long time, and suffered several defeats in succession. The army's morale has fainted."

Jing Jian said: "The frontier is in turmoil, and the morale of the army and the people are unstable. There is an urgent need for a leader with status to preside over the central government."

Xiao Shuo said in a slow voice, "So I chose Father Wang."

"Yes." Jing Jian nodded, "After that, Shuofang was the leader of the former king, and Yue Qu was the deputy, until today."

No one would feel comfortable if the position of chief general, who was already a sure thing, was suddenly handed over to others.

……

What's more, as soon as King Duan entered the Shuofang Army, he first rectified the military system, set rewards and punishments, dismantled and reorganized the entire army, and ruled the army with a new military law, almost hitting Yue Qu's face every time.

Back then in the Shuofang Army, Captain Qingche Bai Yuan was ordered to run the army and train troops, and had many conflicts with Yue Qu.

The worst time, Captain Qingche was punished with eighty sticks on the spine.If it hadn't been for Yun Lang who brought people to arrive in time, it would have been the first time he hadn't used his military position and forced his identity to suppress others, Bai Yuan, a literati who hadn't been tempered in the battlefield, might have been smashed into pieces by the army staff land.

"General Yue is a warrior. Although he doesn't talk about leading troops in battle, he is somewhat headstrong."

Jing Jian said in a low voice: "After the death of the former king, General Yue was called the deputy general, but in fact he has already taken command of the Shuofang army, so it is inevitable that there will be some..."

Xiao Shuo asked, "What's there?"

Jing Jian paused for a while, carefully glanced at Miao Yunlang, swallowed all the remaining words, and shook his head.

"At the beginning, I didn't know good and bad, and misunderstood the major general. I made a mistake once. Instead, I went around Yunzhou City ten times."

Jing Jian buried his head and said, "If I make another mistake today, I'm afraid it will be more than ten laps."

Yun Lang laughed, blew on the paper full of words, and hung it aside: "Brother Jing learned a lot from a pit, and now he doesn't even have a chance to find fault."

Jing Jian shook his head: "The major general punished the junior general, because he didn't want the latter to pay attention to this matter all the time... Ten laps of punishment will be written off."

Jing Jian clenched his fists, and finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "It's just—"

Seeing this group of people getting smarter and smarter, Yun Lang looked up and put down the bamboo pen in his hand: "Just what?"

Jing Jian stood there for a moment, but did not speak again.

He swallowed all the words, leaned over and saluted Yun Lang.He took the contact list listed by the major general with both hands, took the things that Pang Xia asked someone to send, and went out for a walk.

As soon as Jing Jian left, the house was completely clean.

Pang Xia was afraid of people making noise, which upset the two honored guests, so he specially told the servants not to disturb them at will, and the wheels were carefully wrapped in cotton cloth.

Occasionally, people walked around in the courtyard, but they would walk very lightly, trotting with their heads down, not daring to say a word.

The best Suhe incense is smoldering, and you can't hear the jingle drums and horns contending on the battlefield.

"General Guide."

Yun Lang pushed open the window to ventilate, took the tea on the table, and threw out the incense burner casually: "This General Yue not only has his native place, background, and achievements, but you must have read every memorial over the years."

Xiao Shuo was silent for a moment, then said: "Yes."

Yun Lang poured out the incense, washed the simple and exquisite Xiaoboshan stove carefully, took a clean white cloth to wipe it off, and pulled Xiao Xiao Wangye's sleeve, and took out two zhemeixiang pills.

He grew up in the palace, and he was fascinated by what he heard and saw, so he was able to do these things with ease, and he was even more bluffingly elegant and unrestrained.In no time, the room was filled with the refreshing aroma of plum blossoms.

Yun Lang wiped the incense ash off his hands and closed the incense burner.

Pang Jue wanted to curry favor with others, so he specially asked someone to scour for Su Hexiang, but he only knew one thing and didn't know the other, so he used the wrong place.

Styrax mixed with borneol and peppermint, supplemented with sweet pine to suppress the fragrance, can clear the lungs and regulate the pulse, promote qi and relieve pain.

Suhexiang should be used alone, not alone.

Take the mind, sleepy nightmare.

Yun Lang was not sloppy, and carefully dusted off the incense ash on his cuff, and turned to look at Xiao Shuo.

……

Guided General Yue Qu.

When King Duan died unjustly and the concubine died, Xiao Shuo, the heir of Prince Duan's family, knelt in Wende Hall, kowtowed head after head, dripping with blood, begging to find out the real culprit.

The first emperor brought people to persuade him, but Yun Lang came, but he couldn't persuade him.

In the end, it was the Guide General Yue Qu who led his men to drag the young Xiao Shuo out of the Hall of Wende, and threw him outside the gate of the hall, allowing Xiao Shuo to kneel on the snow outside the gate for the whole night.

After that, Yue Qu seemed to have finally found an opportunity, and made it clear that the chariots and horses were going to settle with Duan Wang's faction.Whenever the old people of Prince Duan's mansion were in trouble, he would stand on the sidelines. If someone impeached Prince Duan's past decrees, he would definitely read the next book.

On the contrary, no matter what arrangements the Privy Council had, it was very easy to use when it involved Shuofang's army.

After the Zhenyuanhou Mansion was destroyed, Yunlang fled, Shuofang Army was sieved seven or eight times, and the door of the Privy Council was knocked open by someone from the north for the first time.

Yue Qu's general came to the door in person, presented the gift list respectfully, listened to the shouts with a smile on his face, straightened his waist amidst ridicule and sneered, and spat at the king's tablet from afar.

……

From then on, the court seemed to have completely forgotten about this General Guide and the Shuofang Army.

"You had a hard head back then."

Yun Lang was silent for a while, there were actually a lot of things he wanted to say, and when it really came to his lips, there was only a half smile that didn't know whether it was bitter or sweet: "I told you at that time, if you feel unhappy, beat me up. Dun...I'm really afraid that you will come up with a hammer on the head."

Xiao Shuo sat quietly on the couch, watched him for a while, and stretched out his hand towards Yunlang.

Yun Lang stood there for a while, then continued in a low voice: "Two headbutts..."

"Yunlang." Xiao Shuo said softly, "Come."

Yun Lang was light and stagnant, he didn't know if the scent of Su He had dissipated from his body, he still wanted to stop for a moment, meet Xiao Shuo's gaze, and finally passed by, closing his eyes and leaning over.

He hugged Xiao Shuo until his chest and shoulders met and he still didn't hold back his strength, his arms became tighter and tighter.

Xiao Shuo hugged Yun Lang, protecting his shoulder with one hand, and kissed Yun Lang softly and tenderly, pressing the center of Yun Lang's eyebrows.

"Don't you have to endure when you are uncomfortable, and you have to hide jokes from me?"

Xiao Shuo said in a slow voice, "Young General didn't tell a good joke today."

Yun Lang tugged at the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes.

Everyone has a hurdle in their hearts that they can't get over. Even if there are thousands of reasons and the highest sounding, it is still difficult to get over what they do.

Jing Jian found out that the general was in the Privy Council, and he was disrespectful to King Duan's spiritual position in order to walk through the door, so it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable.

But Jing Jian didn't know, the general came out of the Privy Council, went to the mourning hall, kowtowed three times in front of King Duan's tomb, and bit his tongue.

Leaning on Xiao Shuo's chest and shoulders, Yun Lang whispered, "Brother Feng..."

"Stopped it, Imperial Physician Liang stunned him and sent him back to northern Xinjiang. He is still a general under General Guide's account."

Xiao Shuo said: "When you go to see him, if you see someone under his tent who doesn't speak very clearly, don't tease him."

Yun Lang told Prince Xiao to step on his tail, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "When have I ever teased someone?! You—"

Xiao Shuo raised his eyes and calmly looked into the eyes of the Major General.

Yun Lang: "..."

Yun Lang: "Except for you—"

Xiao Shuo raised his hand and stroked the top of Major General Yun's hair.

His strength was too slow, and his movements were too proficient. For a moment, it was almost impossible to tell whether the touch was "not sad" or "look at what nonsense you've been talking about."

Yun Lang told him that his face turned red, he coughed, and changed without a trace: "Except for you, Imperial Physician Liang, the old Master Book, the Grand Tutor, King Jing, Eunuch Hong, several generals of the Shuofang Army, and Uncle Duan Wang A few staff members, how many times have I teased people..."

Xiao Shuo embraced Yun Lang, his eyes rested on Yun Lang for a moment, and he smiled.

Yun Lang became angry from embarrassment: "What are you laughing at?!"

Xiao Shuo raised his hand, and touched General Yun's dangling head in front of his eyes, and ran down Yun Lang's neck, rolling over his strong shoulders and back.

The major general was quite annoyed by Hu Lu's tricks behind his back, so he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, recovered his senses, and stared at him again.

"I heard you talk about the past and remembered something."

Xiao Shuo said, "You don't know, and you forgot to ask, so you didn't tell me."

Yun Lang was startled: "What's the matter?"

"That day, the late emperor was really helpless, and asked you to persuade me so that I would not bother to investigate the case anymore."

Xiao Shuo said slowly: "You endured the pain to persuade me, but I won't listen, instead I beg you to help me."

Yun Lang was still listening with great interest, but when he heard this, he tensed slightly, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's agreed not to mention..."

"It should be mentioned."

Xiao Shuo said: "To beg you, I knelt down and bowed down to you, do you remember?"

Yun Lang naturally remembered, and his chest even started to ache faintly because of remembering, so he cleared his throat, forced a smile, and nodded.

Xiao Shuo said: "You refused to accept this obeisance, and you didn't have the strength to hide it, so you simply knelt down and returned my obeisance."

Yun Lang whispered: "Yes..."

"I will bow to you again."

Xiao Shuo said: "You don't accept it, so I pay you back again."

Yun Lang: "..."

In the situation at that time, there was a near-desperate stabbing in everyone's chest, and no one cared too much, let alone think about the situation in detail.

Yun Lang didn't feel awkward at that time, but now when he heard Xiao Shuo say it, he also felt wrong: "Then—"

"Then I bowed again."

Xiao Shuo said: "This time you just fell on the ground, put your head against mine, and refused to get up."

Yun Lang: "..."

Xiao Shuo: "That day is the March [-]th day of my father, queen, mother and concubine. The souls return to their hometowns, visit the old people and return to their hearts. The souls of my father, queen, mother and concubine are all watching us."

Yun Lang didn't want to know that Uncle Duan and Concubine Duan were watching from the sky, their faces flushed, they almost jumped off the ground and spun around: "What and what? Me, me, me—"

Xiao Shuo looked at him for a long time, closed his eyes to get rid of the turbulence in his eyes, opened his eyes, and hugged Yun Lang back: "The first emperor was also watching us outside the door."

Yun Lang: "?"

Yun Lang: "??"

Uncle Duan and the concubine are fine, if the late emperor was outside the door at that time, watching him and Xiao Shuo bewitched by some evil and kowtow to each other in astonishment...

Yun Lang pressed his chest, but begged for death: "The first emperor didn't see clearly."

Xiao Shuo said, "I see clearly."

Yun Lang was dying: "I didn't remember."

Xiao Shuo: "Remember."

"what's wrong with you?!"

It was rare for Yun Lang to meet Xiao Xiaowang who was so arrogant, and he was furious for a while: "You haven't heard the late emperor say it, and you haven't had anyone to prove it, why—"

Xiao Shuo raised his hand, touched the empty sleeve of General Yun, and took out the only thing that Yun Lang carried with him all the time.Unfold and flatten.

Yun Lang was tongue-tied, his eyes darkened.

The first emperor was outside the door, secretly inspecting the situation in the hall, and saw two of his most beloved grandchildren kowtow three times to each other.

……

The one that was confiscated by Prince Xiao Xiao was the seal of the late emperor, the official marriage of the son of Prince Zhunduan, the official concubine of Prince Yan's mansion.

The author has something to say: Emperor Xian: This should be the meaning...
