Deja Vu Yan Returns

Su Pingting only found the body of the feather guard in the dark alley the next day.

"Damn it, I was really careless this time." Su Pingting almost gritted her silver teeth.In the past few days, Xia Yanzhi and Su Yin were very busy with the military reform, Su Pingting didn't want to distract them any more, so she suppressed the matter.What she didn't expect was that Xia Zeduan had already started to stare at her.

When Xia Yanzhi married Su Pingting, people only thought that it was a way for the virtuous king to show his favor to the Su family, and married Su Cheng as a son-in-law, so that the entire Su family would be determined to let him work for the virtuous king.Xia Zeduan once thought so too.In order to maintain such an illusion, Xia Yanzhi would even regularly spend the night in Su Pingting's room.Therefore, even Miaozhen did not notice anything unusual.

Until, Xia Zeduan smelled Su Pingting's rouge from that feather guard... The rouge was given to her by the Empress Dowager, and it was the only one.The Empress Dowager has no other hobbies, except that she likes to make some strange fragrances, which smell very good when added to rouge pollen, and last for a long time.The old lady had always doted on Su Pingting, and only gave her one person, but Xia Zeduan found out unexpectedly.

It seems that Su Pingting is the dispatcher of those dead men.He had long heard that Xia Yanzhi had raised a group of dead men called Yuwei.However, Miaozhen has never been found in the palace.He would not have thought that Yuwei usually hides in the Yibao Hall, and it was assigned by Su Pingting.

"His Royal Highness has ordered that no matter what method you use, Su Pingting must be dealt with.

"What? Su Pingting? What's the use of killing her?"

"This is not something you should care about. Once you deal with Su Pingting, that Su Yin, His Highness Duan Wang will take care of it for you."

"Miaozhen understands..."

It has been more than half a month since Qiushou came back.During this period, Xia Yanzhi seemed to have forgotten his own existence, and he didn't even look at him.Although it is still rich in clothes and jade food, it is easy to serve.However, even though Miaozhen deliberately pretended to be sick, Xia Yanzhi never went to see him, and only asked his servants to invite the doctor over.On the contrary, it is heard that Xia Yanzhi stayed at Yangui Pavilion in Su Yin for several days.

"Su Yin... I will never tolerate you..." Miaozhen said through gritted teeth.

The disarmament plan formulated by Su Yin and Xia Yanzhi was disarmament in name, but in fact it turned the army into farmers, and switched to a more flexible conscription system.Su Yin divided the 5000 imperial army into three.Among them, 5000 elite troops will continue to be kept as a standing army, and the remaining [-] people will be transferred to the dual system of soldiers and farmers. They will return to their hometowns to work in agriculture in spring and autumn every year, and the state will subsidize a small amount of salary. , the state pays salaries according to the standing army standard.For the last [-] people, Su Yin carefully selected the best of the elite from various armies, and trained them according to the training method of special forces. The difference is that they focus more on the training of equestrian archery and close combat.For such soldiers, the state not only pays high salaries, but even supports their parents, wives and children after their death.

This special force of the Great Yan Dynasty was named "Flying Tigers" by Su Yin in a malicious way.Most of the bows and arrows used by the Dayan army are longbows, which require a lot of strength to draw and the interval between shooting arrows is long.Su Yin drew a series of lines on the drawings and handed them over to the craftsmen.Soon, this kind of "weapons of mass destruction" was widely promoted in the military.

The Flying Tigers select reserve members from the standing army every year. They are stimulated by generous salaries, and the training enthusiasm of the standing army has also been greatly improved. They are eager to give it a try.Emperor Jing greatly praised this, and appointed Xia Yanzhi as the direct manager of the Flying Tigers, with the right to dispatch individual soldiers.

Concubine Yi was very worried after hearing the news, and called Xia Zeduan to the palace to discuss.

"That Xia Yanzhi didn't know what method he used. Your father has been full of praise for him these days." Concubine Yi frowned.

"What can he do? My son guessed that it was probably Su Yin's idea."

"Just find someone to take that Su Yin..."

"No, Su Yin is a talented person. It would be a pity to kill him. Besides, Xia Yanzhi can protect others. Right now, the biggest problem is not him." Xia Zeduan said.He was in charge of presiding over the examination, and everything went smoothly, but the Ministry of Rites gave his people the green light during the examination, but encountered considerable obstacles in the final assignment of official positions.

It turned out that after Emperor Jing appointed candidates who passed the general examination to select their respective official positions, the Ministry of Officials still needed to make a final review, similar to the current interview.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yan Zhongru, was Xia Yanzhi's grandfather. He naturally knew the relationship between King Xian and King Duan, so he was very serious about this review.Sure enough, he found out that some of them were fake.Mr. Yan, as the father-in-law of Emperor Jing, has been an official for many years and is extremely authoritative. He bluntly pointed out problems one by one in front of Emperor Jing, which made Xia Zeduan, the person in charge, a little embarrassed to step down.

"What do you mean? You want to attack the officials?" Concubine Yi felt a little restless after hearing Xia Zeduan's words.

Xia Ze smiled and replied: "This matter can only be accomplished with the help of my mother." After speaking, he leaned close to Concubine Yi's ear and explained the plan in detail.
