Should the soul

The emperor's face was cold, and the warning from his deep eyes was only for a moment. After casting a glance at "Kong Jie", he quickly moved away, as if nothing had happened, and continued to ask Fei and He. Lowering your head, you always feel that the glance just now has a lot of meaning.

Did he know?

Thinking of this, Tang Fang tensed the string in his heart again, and glanced at his superior secretly: I saw his elder brother's face was clear, his eyes were half-closed, and there was a sharp mark on his face naturally—— Well, nothing can be seen, but Zhou Yin's example is the first, and Tang Fang no longer dares to underestimate these old men who have gained nine years of experience.

After discussing the situation in the grassland with Fei and He, Honglusi and Fei and He finally turned their attention to their own family property. The Duke of the State talked about the number of conservative soldiers, the optimal number of soldiers, and how many people can be mobilized. Uncle Guo and Xiangguo began to touch these things with him. How much food, grass and military resources should be matched by people, and how much family property the imperial court can provide at present-anyway, it is a matter of war, whether it is a matter of soldiers or money.

At this time, little Kong Jie finally heard the clues, and asked Tang Fang in a low voice: "Is this going to war?"

Tang Fang: "Yes."

Dashun has been at peace for a long time, and little Kong Jie is only 16 years old. He was surprised to hear the war at first: "It's so sudden."

"Not suddenly."

Tang Fang smiled: "War is not a treat for dinner, you have to say hello to the other side?"

And anyone with a discerning eye will know that His Majesty has been preparing for this battle for a long time and has planned it for a long time. Although the officials of the court said it cryptically about the shame of Surabaya back then, no one in Li Zili escaped the humiliation of paying compensation and forcing threats: your family How could the neighbor bring someone to your door to kick the game, how could they leave without success?At that time, the country's internal and external troubles could not take care of the [-]th Ministry of the Grassland. The elder brother chose to take care of the housework first and endure it. In the next nine years, he will rule the world in three years, recuperate in three years, and endure the layout in three years. .

"We have 13 veterans and [-] new recruits. If the Sifang guards are removed to deal with unexpected events, the north can use about [-]."

"If 13 people are dispatched... the imperial court's logistics supply can currently maintain military supplies for about four months. If the Duke cannot solve the problem within four months, then we will start to increase taxes and rents now."

"Your Majesty, once the grassland is warm and the flowers are blooming to pass through this disaster year, the weather will not be on our side at that time. According to my humble opinion, can the number of expeditions be increased appropriately? Lord Fei is also trying to find ways to increase the supply of food, grass, and military supplies. This war alone cannot be delayed...for four months, if we move, we must solve the problem within four months."

Zhou Yin didn't speak, but frowned slightly and turned his fingers.

Tang Fang also lowered his eyes, fiddled with the topaz beads in his hand through his clothes, his eyes serious.

"Guo Gong, what do you think of this matter?" The emperor turned his gaze to Guo Gong.

The duke lowered his eyes halfway, thought for a while, then raised his head: "This is a big matter, I dare not answer it, Your Majesty, please think carefully for a few days."

Now the fighters are not yet fully mature, whether to fight or not, and whether to make peace or not, such a decision cannot be discussed in a meeting.

The emperor gave a "hmm", then suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about you?"

"……Um?"

There was a brief moment of silence inside the small screen.

Tang Fang was startled, raised his head to face the sudden gaze, and pointed at himself in surprise: "Me?"

His Majesty looked at him seriously and nodded.

At this moment, everyone in the screen looked over meaningfully, with colorful expressions, and the most eye-catching one was that of Prince Yuchen, who was full of youthful vigor, and his eyes were also the sharpest, even with a bit of hostility.Tang Fang was bathed in the harsh scrutiny of everyone. After a moment of shock, he said without hesitation:

"Hit! Hit until they call you mother."

He said it simply, even with a smile on his face, but out of thin air, he drank the spirit of war that was frightening.

His Majesty showed no signs of change, and replied with an "um" as well.

The prince held the pen and was speechless for a while, Xindao was really one who dared to ask and one who dared to answer.

The Duke of the State did not express any opinion on this, picked up a cup of tea, and raised his eyebrows with a smile without saying a word.

This is the end of the story, and it is superfluous to say more. The emperor did not give a clear attitude. He only said that the Duke and Fei Xiang should discuss the detailed rules again. cumbersome questions, and then calmly instructed his son to pass the abbreviated record to Mr. Kong, and then he got up and left.

Tang Fang was a little surprised, looking at his brother's abnormal behavior: what happened, why did you just leave?

Zhou Yin glanced at him from a distance, and before he had time to say anything, he quickly discussed the serious matter with several adults. When they first encountered the situation, there were still several places that were not cleared up. Some places needed to be explained clearly before returning to their own one-acre three-point to implement.

The prince frowned tightly, got up slowly, and walked over slowly. Tang Fang looked at his reluctance, took the abbreviation he handed over, and was still thinking, which one is this? ?Let a 14-year-old doll write abbreviations for him, what do you want him to do?He looked down, glanced quickly, was stunned for a while, looked up at Yu Chen, and then lowered his head.

Little Kong Jie: "The prince's handwriting is beautiful."

Tang Fang nodded in agreement, "It's more than just good writing."

He didn't understand why the eldest brother let the child listen to politics so early. At the age of 14, what can he understand? Isn't this adding to the confusion?Looking at it now, shit, this kid is not bad. These people just said so much, and the external situation is complicated. He can cut out the complicated and simplify what these people said, and grasp the key points.

And he is very organized, what is understood, a few key words are brought out quickly, what is not understood, and is recorded in detail, others say, he writes, but it is not messy, Tang Fang flipped through it, and looked at it with admiration Look at this little doll.The prince looked impatient, and sat cross-legged: "Look, if you don't understand anything, ask me."

Tang Fang can understand most of them.

After all, he was on the executive side in his previous life, and he generally doesn’t participate in such decision-making meetings. It’s not that he doesn’t have the right to participate, but that his elder brother doesn’t recommend that he know too much. Necessary concerns, I think this is also the reason why he only let the crown prince's abbreviation, let him know what he knows, and he can grasp it by himself when the time comes, instead of letting him hear the meeting from beginning to end.

Tang Fang turned carefully from the beginning to the end, and only asked if he could not understand the record. If it was the time for a stick of incense, the inner prison came to pass a message, saying that if you have no problems, you can leave on your own. Gong and Mr. Kong stayed and went to Qianyuan Hall for a light meal.

Listening to the oral instructions, Tang Fang felt that he had been scooped up by the prince again.

These people are extremely efficient. Anyway, they are all confidantes who have worked hard for so many years, and two of them have temporarily stayed away from the court. Everyone's discussion is just a discussion, without any selfishness. After straightening out, we will discuss it tomorrow.Zhou Yin said goodbye to several people, came out from Qinzheng Hall and shook Tang Fang's shoulder outside the hall: "Let's go."

Tang Fang frowned and followed: "Brother, do you know something?"

The Duke did not speak, but walked slowly along the corridor with an inscrutable expression on his face.

Tang Fang was annoyed, and glared at him. Suddenly, he tilted his hip and hit him with his hip. The Duke was caught off guard, and heard a "clang" from his hip, and was almost pushed out of the corridor by him. He turned around in surprise, and supported him. The colonnade whispered: "Are you three years old?" Tang Fang snorted, stepped forward and intensified, grabbed his shoulder and neck and pressed down, doubtful in his eyes: "Is it you?"

Little Kong Jie’s face was flushed as early as the king of Anping bumped into the Duke of the Kingdom. At this moment, at such a close distance, he felt as if he was the one being molested. As if not aware of anything, he continued to hook Zhou Yin's shoulders, and asked again: "Is it you?"

Zhou Yin didn't answer her, but looked over his shoulder lightly, and said from a distance: "Your Highness, let's go to lunch together?"

Tang Fang was startled, and immediately felt the child's breath from Yuchen, and immediately stretched his shoulders to straighten his body, let go of Zhou Yin's neck as if nothing had happened, and flicked the non-existent dust on his chest in a serious manner.

Yuchen had just finished sorting out the records, and when he went out to see them, he wanted to avoid them quickly, but he was suddenly stopped by the Duke, and he hesitated: "...Father, Queen, and Mother didn't call me."

His eyes fell on "Kong Jie" intentionally or unintentionally.

On the seven-step-wide corridor, the overhanging eaves blocked most of the sunlight, and the non-slip bluestone glowed with layers of darkness, making it seem that there was a bit of coolness accumulated in the corridor, but this little warlock was wearing The colorful clothes, the front skirt is less apricot yellow, the waist is shiny and green, and it is as light and dazzling as the sun. His little Uncle Zhou is such a gentle, quiet and well-mannered person, and he actually allows him to mess with him .

Yuchen was full of suspicion. He was going to rescue his mother yesterday, not because he had any good opinion of this warlock. He didn't think that not only his mother and the Duke favored him, but he even came in the imperial meeting today, and he looked like he was two years older than him. , I really don't know what's so special about it.

Zhou Yin pulled Tang Fang for a while, and smiled at Yuchen: "It's okay, Your Highness, let's go together."

Yuchen came over, looked at "Kong Jie" up and down, and asked, "You warlock, I don't know what skills you have."

Tang Fang looked at his nephew with a smile: "I am a warlock, I have no skills."

As he said that, he glanced at Yu Chen playfully, and smiled, "But Your Highness, let me say something more, you are still young, and you should be careful when you meet girls."

The prince didn't expect him to say this suddenly, he glanced at the Duke, his face flushed red: "Nonsense!"

Tang Fang immediately raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense, but I still want to remind you that Nanshi has a grapefruit-flavored honey-flour crispy flower. You can buy a few more, and you will be able to coax her well."

Yuchen: ...

The Duke who was watching the excitement raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at the crown prince curiously, then at Tang Fang, meaning: Whose little girl is it?

Yuchen: ...

Tang Fang chuckled, not telling the truth.

Boy, do you still want to challenge me?I beg for a hammer.

Yuchen: ...

After the whole journey, the prince shut up peacefully, and walked behind the Duke and Tang Fang.

Until the Qianyuan Hall, before the three of them stepped over the threshold, they heard a loud communication from the inner prison. Tang Fang didn't know what new things were prepared. As soon as they entered the door, the three of them were ushered into the side hall. There was a huge round table, and the sister-in-law raised her head when she heard the sound, and said, "Finally here! Come quickly, sit down and have lunch!"

Tang Fang was stunned, and saw that the sister-in-law was setting the bowls and chopsticks herself, and she was actually wearing the Yaohuang and vermilion casual clothes in Jinyuan. She was plump compared to many years ago, and she looked wider and more graceful. With the emerald head and face from the wedding, he became much younger for no reason, and when he heard the call, the door was suddenly opened respectfully by the servants, and the eldest brother wore an apron that had not been untied around his waist, and his sleeves were rolled up, Holding a large plate of braised fish with thick sauce in his hand, he glanced at the three of them unhurriedly:

"Are you back? Come and eat."
