Mr. Ju Shan smiled and replied: "Nowadays, the life of the people in the Northland is completely different from other places. The people here can exchange their hands for food and clothing, and this is a sign of prosperity. Of course, if the prince is alone If you don’t, you may not become a Mingjun. Because although the prince is clear about rewards and punishments, he is too evil. In the future, he will inevitably like to use force to solve problems. This is too harsh, and he may become a tyrant. But with the concubine by your side, these problems will not be a problem gone."

All eyes in the camp turned to Tao Anran, he was a little at a loss.He blinked and looked at Xiao Jingyu with an innocent face.The topic suddenly came to him, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Xiao Jingyu sighed inwardly, knowing that Mr. Ju Shan saw his weakness.The princess is his weakness, he just needs to live happily in the sun.As for the dirty things in the dark, don't dirty his ears.

Xiao Jingyu looked at each other sharply, and replied: "Sir, you have good eyesight. The concubine is pure, kind and gentle, which is just enough to neutralize this king's irritable temper. But sir, you really decided to serve this king, have you changed your mind?" ? If you change your mind now, I still owe you a life-saving favor, and I will repay you with all my heart in the future."

Mr. Ju Shan stroked his beard and suddenly asked: "What do you think about the relationship between the ruler and the people?"

This is not a question to Xiao Jingyu alone, but to everyone present.

Xiao Jingyu frowned and remained silent, He Zheng opened his mouth first and said: "There is a saying in the ancient books that the king is good at the crowd. When the Tao of the group is right, all things will get their proper way, all animals will get their growth, and all living things will get their fate." ."

Being a king has the supreme power and is an example for the people, but he also has to bear great responsibilities.

Mr. Ju Shan nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu said: "King the world, govern all changes, cultivate all things, nourish all people, and benefit the world at the same time."

Governing the world for a king should benefit the people and support the people.

Mr. Ju Shan still just nodded and did not speak.

Xiao Jingyu asked: "Is our answer not to your liking? I don't know what your answer is?"

Mr. Ju Shan replied: "The answer of the prince and the military adviser is not wrong. It is a model of etiquette and clear division of envoys, but I think it is not enough. I take the liberty to ask, what does the princess think?"

Although Tao Anran heard the present from the side, he felt that what they were talking about had nothing to do with him.He is just an observer.But now that the question was asked to him, and people were waiting for his answer, he thought about it and finally came up with his own answer.

"I have read in the book that the king's boat is like the people's water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

Xiao Jingyu was a little surprised. Hearing such an answer from Wang Hao, he couldn't help but stare at him, feeling a little honored.But thinking of the behavior of the princess on weekdays, I feel that it is also normal.

Mr. Ju Shan seemed to have finally found a confidant, and said with a smile: "Extremely, extremely. The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. It is the right thing to establish the king for the people."

Xiao Jingyu turned around and said, "Mr. thinks so. But you should know that such slogans have been chanted a long time ago, but only a few have been able to really do it. After all, there have been several prosperous times in history."

Mr. Ju Shan stopped his smile and said: "It is precisely because of this that this is the goal we must work hard for. It is precisely because of this kind of hope that the old man sees from the prince that he wants to join the prince's command."

Xiao Jingyu couldn't help being moved, and replied: "Mr. Gao Yi. Although you are here to witness the prosperous times, you are admirable because you care about the common people. In this case, today Xiao Jingyu invited you to serve as a guest in the house. From then on, we will help each other and witness the prosperous times together." advent."

Mr. Ju Shan saluted, and replied: "Today, Yan Zhen of Tianji Pavilion in Tianshan came to take the post of guest minister. Thanks to the great love of the prince, I will serve you wholeheartedly from now on."

It is a pleasure to recognize each other in such a way.

He Zheng hurriedly came to say hello to his new colleagues, "Old Yan, we will be regarded as colleagues in the future, please take care of me. Especially you can do divination, remember to open my eyes."

Now that he has joined his subordinates, calling Mr. Jushan seems a bit too polite and unkind.So Xiao Jingyu thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Yan's fortune-telling and divination skills should be somewhat limited, so they can't be used casually."

Seeing He Zheng's eagerness for knowledge, Yan Zhen said helplessly, "That's true. Fortune-telling and divination exist only because there is something to ask for. Among them, divination cannot be used lightly. If you encounter someone with strong luck, you will be backlashed. .However, fortune-telling varies from person to person, and it can be calculated occasionally. It will naturally let the military adviser see it."

He Zheng nodded, and was about to say, let him remember to call him next time he does fortune-telling.At this time, I suddenly felt the ground shaking, as if thousands of troops were coming, and there were cheers outside the tent.He thought of something, and quickly said: "This must be General Zhu and the others returning to camp."

Xiao Jingyu also had a smile on his face, stood up and asked someone to welcome them back to the camp.

The refusal horses outside the barracks were pulled away, and the checkpoints were released all the way, allowing the army to march all the way into the barracks.After arranging for the soldiers to return to the camp, Zhu Tao and Tian Tuhu Sun Fen behind him walked to the general's tent.

Although he had received news that the general had woken up on the way back, Zhu Tao's eyes were still a little red after seeing that the general was fine.He saluted and said: "Congratulations to the general for waking up. Fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his life. This time he broke the enemy's attack, and even defeated the Enaji tribe, captured its leader alive, and beheaded the villain who shot in the dark."

Xiao Jingyu hurriedly pulled Zhu Tao up, as well as Tian Tuhu and Sun Fen behind him, and said, "You don't need to salute, this time it's all thanks to General Zhu and the two captains, who took the lead and defeated the enemy army. Everyone's military exploits, this time must be Send it to the imperial court for a reward."

Zhu Tao replied: "The last general would like to thank the general on behalf of the others. The general is fine, so the last general is relieved."

It's not that Tao Anran is sensitive, it's because he heard this sentence a little strangely.

Especially Xiao Jingyu also said with a lenient face: "General Zhu has worked hard, you go back and rest first. We will talk about other things later. As for the leader who was captured alive, I will meet him."

Tao Anran seldom saw Xiao Jingyu show that friendly expression to others.

Zhu Tao and the two captains behind him immediately retreated.After marching for many days, they are indeed extremely tired, and now they can almost fall asleep on the ground.

Xiao Jingyu originally wanted to meet Qi Keying in person, after all, he was shot in the back by the Enaji tribe.But He Zheng and Yan Zhen in the tent disagreed.

He Zheng said: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. And the general has just woken up, so it is not advisable to work too hard. Although Qi Keying has been caught, who knows if there is a secret hand. If the general is injured again Alright. It's fine this time."

Yan Zhen thought, since he has already invested in his subordinates, he should do something.This interrogation of the enemy can show off one's ability.If he just said nothing, sooner or later that life-saving kindness will be worn away.

Tao Anran also felt that it made sense after hearing what they said.Xiao Jingyu is still seriously injured, so he can't be too tired.He also followed the persuasion team, grabbed Xiao Jingyu's sleeve and refused to let him go.

Xiao Jingyu was persuaded by the two, but he was not as good as Wang Hao who grabbed the sleeve.He couldn't, so he had to stay in the camp to cultivate, let He Zheng and Yan Zhen interrogate, and waited for their results.

He Zheng and Yan Zhen quickly retreated to interrogate the enemy together.

The tent suddenly fell silent, Tao Anran graciously dressed Xiao Jingyu and poured him hot tea.He hasn't rested since he had breakfast, and he has to work hard before he recovers from his serious injury.Tao Anran felt distressed.

Xiao Jingyu enjoyed the concubine's care, took a sip of tea, and warmed up his body.He said, "Of course, I'll send someone to take you back home later."

When Tao Anran heard this, she refused without thinking, "No, I won't go back home. I want to take care of you here."

Xiao Jingyu's face was full of joy, but he still said: "I'm awake now, and I don't need you to take care of me anymore. Besides, the environment in the army is tough, and there are all men here, so you can't live comfortably here. How about Go back to the mansion, at least there is a kang in the mansion, so you won't be so cold."

Tao Anran was full of reluctance, but he also knew that Xiao Jingyu's consideration was right.He had no choice but to say: "You are not recovering from your injuries now, I will wait until your injuries are fully recovered before leaving. And can you promise me not to suffer such serious injuries again."

Xiao Jingyu hugged the concubine gently, and promised: "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. Don't worry. It's my fault this time, which frightened you."

Tao Anran felt relieved after receiving his assurance.Although he knew that this guarantee might not be very effective, as long as Xiao Jingyu could remember that someone was always worrying about his body.In this way, he can also cherish his body a little more.

The two returned to a quiet atmosphere, and Tao Anran said without a word: "I think General Zhu seems to care about you very much. When he came back and heard bad news about you, he burst into tears. You seem to treat him as well." Others are different."

Xiao Jingyu paused slightly, and replied: "Of course, he is very sharp. General Zhu is indeed different from other people. According to his seniority, I should call him uncle."

Tao Anran was stunned, completely unaware of this, and had never heard of it.

Xiao Jingyu put down the teacup, and said as if lost in memory: "He was picked up by my grandfather. Later, seeing that he has a good temper and ability, he was considered a adopted son by my grandfather. It's just that this is a private matter, only the family knows , outsiders don’t know. After my grandfather died of illness, he has been leading the army to guard the northwest border. Until I came here, he wholeheartedly tutored me and let me take charge of the Northwest Zhenbei Army. Without him, I would spend more It will take several times longer to run this army."

Tao Anran nodded, that's why.No wonder he thought he was wrong when he saw the loving expression on General Zhu's face.It turned out to be such a relationship.

Tao Anran saw that Xiao Jingyu still seemed to be lost in memory, and then remembered that his mother and grandfather both died of illness.He has no relatives to rely on and can only rely on himself.Especially in the battle for the throne that will inevitably occur in the future, he has less help from his relatives than Xiao Jingci.

But so what, he will always be by his side, no matter what the outcome is.

Tao Anran held Xiao Jingyu's hand, conveying his inner thoughts.Xiao Jingyu woke up from the past memories, seemed to feel this warmth, and smiled gently at the princess.Tao Anran also smiled back.

At this moment, there happened to be light coming in from the outside, reflecting off the shining of the princess. At this moment, Xiao Jingyu felt that his princess must have been sent by heaven to save him.
