Seventy-seven meeting GL

Governor's Yamen, the southeastern capital

Walking hurriedly in the promenade facing the water in the spacious courtyard, the handsome young man in a long gown walked briskly.Although the weather is getting warmer, the bone-chilling cold still carries the last trace of power.He looked very thin, so his figure was even more slender. If it wasn't for the sluggishness of his body after recovering from a serious illness, I'm afraid he would have walked faster.

Dressed in solemn official uniforms, Xiao Xuanji and Cai Ting followed closely behind, passed through the round door, and entered a courtyard.

In a bedroom in the courtyard, there was a group of people around. Qing Lan directed the maid to help the man on the bed, and carefully changed the man's dressing. I saw that the man was wrapped in thick bandages, so that the shape of his limbs could not be seen not come out.

Seeing Mr. Qingjun stepping in, the serving maids retreated one after another to make room for him.

"Is it better?" This handsome young man's eyebrows are like ink painting, his lips are like vermilion, although his complexion is pale, he looks very handsome.

On the bed, the man wrapped in a thick bandage tried to grin, "Thanks to the lord, it's already much better!"

Xiao Xuanji, Cai Ting and others who were standing at the side were all relieved when they heard the words.

"My lord is in good health, so I have to come to see General Lu, and say that I can rest assured that you are fine." Cai Ting smiled, and he was very happy to see that Lu Yuan was in good spirits. "Deputy General Lu is surrounded by many, regardless of life and death, he perseveres hard, it is really admirable!"

"I heard that General Lu was dragged out of the dead. There were more than a hundred wounds all over his body, and it was hard to find even the complete flesh. !"

"If it wasn't for Miss Qing's wonderful hand, we would not have had the opportunity to pay respects to General Lu." Xiao Xuanji also solemnly praised, "Thank you, Miss Qing!"

"This is what a girl should do." Qing Lan tidied up the bottles and put them in the medical box, "It's just that it's a pity that I couldn't keep General Lu's left arm." She said regretfully, saluted and led the maid out.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, it's just that an arm is missing, and Lu is still a good man!"

Although the description is ridiculous, Lu Yuan still appears to be in a bright mood. This simple man is as optimistic as ever, dispelling everyone's heaviness. "My lord, my lords, don't worry about me. After a few months of rest, the wound has healed! Besides, there are so many beauties waiting day and night, it's hard not to recover."

Lang Yinshi stood in front of the bed, silently staring at Lu Yuan's empty sleeves.The expression on his face seemed to be faint, but it was hard to hide the unbearable look.Her gaze was as warm as water and silent.

She came in a hurry, and her clothes were thin and light, neither royal nor stern, which added countless feelings of intimacy.And the concern that appeared on that haggard pale face had a strange tenderness to it.Like a calm and glamorous woman, she is not good at words but reveals delicate pity.

Feeling the prince's attention, Lu Yuan couldn't help but blushed.

No wonder the princess is heartbroken.

The prince was already more beautiful than ordinary men, this rare gentle appearance made even a man feel his heart tremble.He already had unconditional trust and love for the prince, so he did not dare to look directly into Lang Yinshi's eyes anymore.It's no wonder that there will be feelings between the elders, some men are indeed so imaginative!

"...This journey is not easy, it's good to be alive." Lang Yinshi didn't know Lu Yuan's mood, after a long while, he finally spoke the first sentence, which was simple but heavy.

Xiao Xuanji smiled slightly, "My lord is lucky, your subordinates are naturally blessed with good fortune!"

Just as he was talking, he heard a tall man coming in from the outside.

"Is Lu's big head better?" The man asked standing in the outer room.

"Go back to General Hu, General Lu is already awake." The maid outside the door replied.The next second, someone opened the curtain and came in.

The person who came here was five-year-old and three-year-old, wearing a military uniform that had been worn for many years, with a rough face and messy stubble, but his eyes were shining brightly.

After beckoning to everyone, he looked at Lu Yuan who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and laughed for a while.

"Hey, you're awake, kid. It's your luck to break out after being surrounded by the Zhongzhou Army. It's really impressive." Hu Han was tall and tall, and the room suddenly became more lively when he entered the room. "I still treat you as a three-legged cat, and I probably won't come back."

Look, is this what people say?Seeing Hu Han, Lu Yuan was very angry, and suddenly became angry.

"I'm not as good as you. You, a landlubber from the north, didn't drown in the river, and became a little white strip in the waves?"

"Nonsense, I drank two buckets of river water!" Hu Han said angrily, coupled with his tough and serious face, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy. "If Master Cai hadn't let you tie the rope in advance, I would have sunk already, and the prince wouldn't love you now!"

"That's right, my lord has probably already visited your grave." Lu Yuan answered quickly, not to be outdone.

"Hey! You're so disabled...you're still so stingy! Don't stop me, and see if I don't beat you to death!" Hu Han was annoyed, and made a gesture to take two steps forward. "Speaking so sharply, it looks almost as good as it gets!"

"Hey, Hu Tieniu, are you taking advantage of others? Don't touch me, I can't beat you with one less arm now...My lord, you have to make the decision for me!" Lu Yuan hesitated and rolled to the other side of the bed Howled. "I didn't die on the battlefield, I was pissed to death by this Hu Tieniu sooner or later..."

"The two generals..." Cai Ting didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lang Yinshi, who couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines, was in a complicated mood and stopped the two of them. "What nonsense all day long? Are you two promising? Are you going to die faster than anyone else?"

Her heavy heart just now was completely overwhelmed by the two people's "flirtatious" bickering.

"——The two lieutenant generals of this king are both dragons and phoenixes among the people. If anyone is missing, this king will be like a brother." Lang Yin explained righteously and announced, "So, you all give me a good life! The good days are still long!"

Hearing this, both Lu Yuan and Hu Han stopped playing, and said seriously: "Yes! Your lord!"

"My lord, don't worry, I will live a good life, and I don't know if I can see Hu Tieniu marrying a wife when I live to be 80 years old..." Lu Yuan was serious for a second, then joked again.

"Fuck you..." Hu Han couldn't help but swear. "I will marry you tomorrow!"

"What you said is a deal!"

"Fuck your ass!"

"..."

"..."

Looking at these two iron fools, Xiao Xuanji and Cai Ting couldn't help laughing, and Lang Yinshi couldn't help laughing either.

She suddenly realized that it was because of these people around her that she could persevere all the way and go so far.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, spring is coming, and the lazy and warm wind is blowing from all sides, officially announcing the departure of winter.

The plum blossoms are starting to fade, new green seedlings are emerging on the farmland everywhere, and light-colored buds protrude from the branches of the beech trees, which seem to glow in the sun.The peach blossoms along the street are just blooming, and the pink petals are like a baby's face.Immediately afterwards, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms all competed in beauty. Unlike the capital city, spring in Southeast Prefecture comes earlier, more suddenly, and is more vibrant.

Everything is looking up.

In the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, after several months of recuperation, Lang Yinshi's body has fully recovered, and he has been able to practice swords in the yard these few days, which has recently made everyone feel at ease.

"My lord, the local finances, military strength, and material delivery have all been checked and inspected. After two months of rectification, all aspects are relatively sufficient at present." Cai Ting followed Lang Yinshi with a stack of documents, "Southwest The provincial governor and inspector arrived today and arranged for you to have a meeting with them in the afternoon."

"Okay." Lang Yinshi was rushing to a meeting, and he replied while walking steadily in the corridor by the water.

"Master He Weimin invited you to have dinner, and said that he wanted to report to you about last year's grain harvest and this year's farming arrangement, and hoped to discuss it in detail."

"Okay, let's arrange it tonight. I just want to ask him something."

"Yes, I will arrange it."

The two talked all the way, and stepped into the most important meeting hall of the governor's yamen in the southeast mansion - the Yuanxiang Hall.

The Yuanxiang Hall is located under two ancient trees, backed by a rockery and facing the pool. It is made of Nanmu, with tall wooden carved screens on both sides.At the discussion table in the middle, Xiao Xuanji and other important people had already taken their seats. Seeing Lang Yinshi approaching, they all got up and saluted.

"Everyone sit down, there is no need to be too polite." Lang Yinshi simply returned the greeting and sat down at the discussion table.

"I'm sure everyone has heard about it. I'm here today to discuss the matter of the Northern Expedition with your lords." Lang Yinshi looked around and wrote lightly.He is high-spirited, his manner is windy, and his starry eyes are shining.

Everyone heard the words and discussed, and the Yuanxiang Hall became noisy for a while.

"It's true that the Northern Expedition is long overdue, and we can't delay it any longer!"

"The south has just been pacified, so it's not too late."

Southern officials at the table were discussing with each other.

"I think you've all heard about King Xuan's massive recruitment of soldiers and horses," Lang Yinshi said calmly when he saw the divergent attitudes of the crowd, "In the past few months, King Xuan has built a building in the Huai River Basin. There are a large number of fortifications, and the Northwest Army has also occupied important cities in the north, making it clear that they want to fight us."

Lang Yinshi said with a calm and relaxed expression, looking around at the officials present, as if everything was under his control.

"It's just that when and where to start the war, it seems that we have not found a good time. In the past two days, many adults have jointly signed a letter asking me to order the Northern Expedition. It is mentioned in the book that King Xuan's seizure of the throne is unjust, and the south is an offensive. side, the north is the defensive side, the so-called attack unprepared, we naturally have the advantage, so the northern expedition should not be delayed."

After listening to Lang Yinshi's explanation, everyone nodded their heads, thinking that this analysis is quite reasonable.

"However," Lang Yinshi's attitude suddenly changed drastically, "I think the Northern Expedition is inappropriate now."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials present were surprised and did not know King Ye's intention for a while.

"Your Highness, if you give King Xuan more time, it will only make them raise enough soldiers and horses, and cause more pressure for us to attack the capital." Han Shi, the former servant of the Ministry of War, questioned.

"That's a good statement," Fu Chengguang, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, agreed. "Although King Xuan's ascension to the throne is unworthy of virtue, the country cannot be without a king for a day. If it takes a long time, all parts of the country will be peaceful. The new emperor. If we mention the Northern Expedition at that time, it will be against the will of the people!"

The words of these two important ministers were realistic, and they were unanimously approved by the ministers present.

Lang Yinshi smiled when he heard the words, a trace of mischievous cunning appeared on his handsome and clear face.

"You all think so?" She looked around and asked, "Is there no objection?"

Except for Xiao Xuanji and Cai Ting who were sitting on the sidelines and reserved their opinions, everyone acquiesced. Suddenly, Da Si Nong He Weimin who was sitting beside him stood up.

"I have a different opinion!" He Weimin said loudly.At first glance, he looks rustic, with a simple villager's face, as if he was born to deal with dirt.Since Da Si Nong is in charge of agricultural affairs on a daily basis, he does not have enough voice among the ministers, so he is often not valued by others.

"I believe that the north is now on the verge of civil strife. As long as we wait, the north will surely collapse without attack!" He Weimin expressed his opinion courageously.

This remark was booed by officials in the south. King Xuan is not a fool, how could he cause civil turmoil in the north?Did King Dangxuan's Northwest Army eat rice?They shook their heads one after another. Wouldn't it be good for this country bumpkin to do his farming properly and meddle in Tianlang politics?

However, Lang Yinshi who was sitting in front slowly rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand to prop up his forehead in a slow manner, a faint smile appeared in his deep black jade-like eyes, "Go on." He seemed quite confused. Looking forward to it, waiting for the follow-up.

He Weimin continued honestly and honestly, "I inspected the agricultural affairs in various places in Tianlang as early as last year. Due to the immediate delivery of the decree in the south, all the officials are new. His Highness's emphasis on agriculture has been paid attention to, and the cultivation of crops in various places is lucky to catch up The last time to sow seeds."

"Because of the strong conservative forces in the north, especially the Northwest Xuanwang territory, which is in a state of political turmoil and chaos, the local officials did not deal with the refugees in a timely manner and paid attention to the New Deal. Therefore, the farming situation in many places in the north is very bad!"

"Tianlang had constant wars in his early years, and there were many accidents in the past two years. The grain reserves in the national treasury have long been worrying. A few days ago, I heard the officials of the Sitianjian calculate the annual weather and mentioned that this year Tianlang has less rain throughout the year, which is very likely to cause drought. .”

"The southern provinces are the main production areas of food crops, and now they are all in the hands of King Ye. Judging from the current signs of King Xuan's militarism, he has not yet paid attention to the issue of rations. It is conceivable that when there is no harvest this autumn , How angry the people in the north will be, at this time, the people in the north will rise up and resist, and the Northwest Army will not be able to suppress it!"

He Weimin's impassioned speech was well-founded and powerful, and the audience fell silent.

"Well said!" Clear applause rang out, and it was Xiao Xuanji who took the lead in clapping. This skinny old man was serious, but there was a glint of approval in his eyes. "Master He started from the people's livelihood, and he really taught us a lesson. The rise and fall of the country's destiny is related to many aspects, and it cannot be fully summarized by the number of troops."

Lang Yinshi was also quite satisfied looking from He Weimin to everyone present.

"Everyone, don't think that the New Deal implemented last year has no effect on Tianlang." Lang Yinshi explained, suddenly turning his face back, extremely cold and harsh, "Without last year's New Deal, Tianlang would not be in peace until now. It is precisely Because everyone here has made repairs and contributions to Tianlang, that glamorous imperial court can survive until today!"

"According to the observation of the north in the past few months, King Xuan paid too much attention to the deployment of troops, and his finances were already in a hurry. The entire court was stretched and exposed from all sides! King Xuan was exhausting Tianlang's last patience! Because we went south, the forces that were originally suppressed in the north , became rampant again, corrupt officials regained power, exiles and bandits were free again! Those who worked for the people were knocked down to the ground, and those who exploited the people were shouting loudly! People in Tianlang are silent now, but they will not Keep silent all the time, because extravagant hopes and luck cannot be exchanged for happiness!"

"Everyone, it's time! Our dawn is about to appear in front of you. This is not a question of rushing for a while, but you should really ask yourself, are we ready?!" Lang Yinshi said in a magnificent manner, calmly and firmly Said.

The author has something to say:

It feels like Xiao Yin has grown up.

In the tempering again and again, he seems to be clear about his identity and mission, and gradually understands how to be a qualified leader.

In addition, I am also very touching after typing all night.
