The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

"His Royal Highness has already considered it very well, but he is still not familiar with those insidious means."

Mu Qiu shook his head with a smile, subconsciously put down the spoon in his hand, and was about to elaborate, when the man held his hand in disapproval: "Let's just chat, we can't delay eating. Otherwise If not, I would rather tell you to finish the porridge first, and then listen to your lecture."

"It's just a lecture—it's nothing more than an ordinary method of discussion. Your Highness's words are too exaggerated."

Mu Qiu laughed helplessly, shook his head lightly, but still obediently scooped up a spoonful of porridge, swallowed it slowly, and said after pondering for a moment: "The so-called deception is the most important part of it. , is the one that handles in the middle. Your Highness must know that apart from the forces in the army, we are almost alone in the court, so most of the handles in the middle will not stand on our side. If he does it in the middle The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, the emperor may not know what is going on here, but we may not be able to know the situation in the court."

"I understand this, but the papers I handed back have always been sent directly to the Ministry of War, and then passed to the Emperor Father for approval, because they are memorials from the army, and the route is sealed with wax. Is there anything I can do?"

Song Zichen nodded, frowned and answered in puzzlement.Mu Qiu just smiled lightly and shook his head slightly, then scooped up another spoonful of porridge: "Your Highness, this can be regarded as a spoonful of porridge, and if I shake it like this—"

After that, he shook the spoon lightly.The full spoonful of porridge was shaken by him, and half of it fell out: "After shaking it like this, it is still a spoonful of porridge. Just like the army rations we asked for back, we said we wanted a hundred stones, but they were tight Once it is tight, there will be a difference of one or two taels per stone when we weigh it for us. Once the amount is too large, the difference will be even more. But we are not grain transport officials. It's hard to see."

"I understand—after they do this, although the difference in every stone is not too much, but we have a lot of people coming out and a lot of food, so we can make a lot of difference in the end."

Song Zichen slapped his thigh, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten: "But because we can't review it here, we don't know even if there is really less. So we will always report to ask for food, but Jingzhong will think that we want food. Too often, so I wonder if I have smuggled military rations to fill my own pockets—but why would I do that? I am not short of money, and if I am short of money, I will find other ways..."

"This kind of influence will not be too big, and he dare not make it too obvious. It is reasonable to say that it is not enough to cause dissatisfaction in Beijing. What's more, I don't have many battles in the expedition, and the journey is far away. The weather is bad, and even the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households may not know how much food we really need, so it may not be possible to find out our fault in this kind of thing. But as long as someone deliberately provokes, this matter will become a problem. The introduction became an excuse for the Ministry of War to impeach His Highness—what they want is not to investigate His Highness because of this matter, but the result that can be drawn out after the investigation."

Mu Qiu shook his head resolutely, replied slowly, then raised his head and thought softly: "So this is what I have been worrying about for the past few days - according to what Uncle Feng said, plus our speculation , there must still be hidden traitors in the army. But where did this traitor appear? There are so many food officers and cooks in the entire army. Guess what's going on. So I'm thinking, why don't we let them take advantage of the obvious, simply stop checking any account books, and ask them to alter and forge by themselves..."

"Mu Qiu, you can't just bully me like this - if you do it like this, won't it be me who will bloom in the end?"

Song Zichen's face turned bitter, he shook his head dumbfounded, and sighed helplessly: "You know, I'm actually not very strict in running the army, this time I'm always throwing things to Lao Peng and the others. I don't care. Although I said that I had a lot of fun doing this myself, but after I go back, my father will definitely want to ask me for an explanation..."

"Your Highness, wait for me to finish—I don't want His Highness to just let it go, but that we might as well manage it in another way."

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing helplessly, shook his head and said softly: "Your Highness thinks, the real problem we are facing now is nothing more than the incomplete control of the army. Since the third prince can plant spies in the army, why can't we?" How about adding people to your own army?"

"Does one's own get into one's own—what's the use of that?"

Song Zichen blinked blankly and asked a puzzled question.Mu Qiu just patted his arm with a light smile, and said in a slow voice: "Your Highness doesn't care, as long as you find thirty reliable people for me——Your Highness doesn't need to look for it himself, those personal soldiers are already gone. Submitting to His Highness should generally be reliable enough. It doesn’t matter if these people come to me, it doesn’t matter if they can’t read or write, the important thing is to be smart enough, and I will teach them what to do. , let’s make an account book ourselves.”

"Mu Qiu, your body is still—"

Hearing that he was going to find a job for himself again, Song Zichen's expression turned a little reluctant, he hesitated to say something, but as soon as he met the man's gaze, he was discouraged again, and nodded helplessly: "Okay—— I know, I'll ask them to look for it later."

"Your Highness, don't always protect me so carefully, as if I would break if I touch it—in fact, I'm nothing more than vomiting blood in idleness, and my body is not as bad as Your Highness thinks. I have survived for so many years in my previous life Well, in this life, if you take good care of it and live comfortably, it won't be worse than your last life."

Mu Qiu smiled softly and said in a warm voice, then lightly held the man's hand, and met his gaze seriously: "Your Highness, let me do more things, so even if I can't be with Your Highness in the future, I can also leave with peace of mind, and His Highness will have something to remember in the future... If it is such a day-to-day recuperation, when I look back in the future, I can't even remember what we did together, how boring it would be ?”

"Don't say such frustrating words. Looking back in the future, it must be something we both grew old together and couldn't move. We did it while looking at our grandson."

Song Zichen covered his mouth angrily, looked at those eyes that were still full of a gentle smile, but couldn't help but laugh, and pulled him into his arms with some strength: "Mu Qiu, I Promise you, you can do whatever you want, and I will accompany you—but you also have to promise me that you are not allowed to get injured and sick casually, and tell me where you feel uncomfortable, and ask me to accompany you. It's much better to keep me guessing in fear."

"Okay, I remember."

Mu Qiu replied with a gentle smile and nodded slightly.Only then did Song Zichen let him go with satisfaction, leaned in and kissed his forehead, and then pushed back the bowl and chopsticks in his hand: "Continue to eat, and you are not allowed to get out of bed if you can't finish eating. I'll tell them to give you Find someone, if you feel better today, when I come back, let's go get some fresh air, and take a look at what's going on with that Hun boy."

"Okay - I'll just eat it..."

Mu Qiu couldn't help being stared at by him, but he could only nod with a wry smile, honestly scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, chewed slowly and continued to eat.Only then did Song Zichen feel relieved, poured another cup of tea for him, and then quickly walked out the door, casually pulling over a guard on duty outside: "Do you know any brothers who are sure to be reliable? I have something I want to entrust to them, and I need you to help me find thirty reliable and smart young men, can you find them?"

The soldier had never thought of having such an opportunity, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, he quickly stood up straight, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, please don't worry, my lord, we were all selected from various camps. Let alone thirty, even fifty or eighty, we can find it for you!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you—don't brag, do it secretly, understand?"

Song Zichen couldn't help laughing, but patiently patted him on the shoulder, and whispered something.The soldier was so excited that his whole body tensed up, he nodded vigorously, and straightened his body: "Understood - thank you for your trust, the villain will live up to the trust of the prince!"

"Okay, let's go."

Song Zichen patted him on the back with a smile, watching the soldier walking away excitedly, some thoughts suddenly flashed in his eyes, he turned his head and went back to the house, and met Mu Qiu who seemed to have deep meaning in his eyes With a light smile: "Mu Qiu, you didn't know that this would happen a long time ago—you told me to let the soldiers look for it, is it because you want them to feel this kind of treatment?"

"His Highness always likes to use General Peng and General Meng—of course, there is nothing wrong with this matter, after all, they are indeed trustworthy, but if His Highness always only relies on the two of them, if one day the two of them because of If there is no reason for His Highness to be around, His Highness will inevitably feel stretched."

Mu Qiu smiled slightly and nodded slightly, replied in a warm voice, and then said patiently and slowly: "Your Highness is actually very thoughtful, and you can also feel other people's emotions and thoughts. That's why Your Highness will instinctively get close to people you trust and trust yourself , These are all right, but His Highness must also learn to get close to those people who are still hesitant and don’t know where to go. Because these people really need to win over, and most of the people around us , in fact, it is precisely this category..."
