Dress to be a celebrity

On the Jingxi school field, the sound of cannons and the explosion of gunpowder packs rumbled endlessly, and the muffled sound could almost be heard within several miles of Fangyuan.The sunny sky seemed to be covered by a soaring black fog, and the thunder exploded heavily in the fog.

The people in the distance thought that the weather was changing, but the monarchs, ministers and soldiers in the field were captured by the powerful power of the flying thunder cannon, and they couldn't recover for a while.

After the sound of the cannon stopped, the Son of Heaven didn't make any further orders for a long time. The Grand Inspector Wang Gonggong who was beside him was afraid that he would be hurt by the sound, so he gently took the cotton from his ear plugs and asked, "Is Your Majesty safe?"

The emperor's heart beat very fast, and he could hear the chaotic sound in his own ears.However, at this moment, he was only concerned with joy, delighted in the amazing effectiveness of the artifact in front of him, and felt that it was inevitable that his heart would beat faster, so he smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, help me to take a look."

The prince supported him and walked towards the center of the school field, followed by Prince Qi, King Wei and other princes.Because the king of Zhou wanted to take care of his young son, he was a step behind them, and was squeezed behind by the kings.

King Qi touched the slightly hot cannon barrel, his heart was also slightly hot, and he couldn't help but said to his father: "With this fetish, my son will definitely be my father's Beiping Dalu, and the west will collect the barbarians and become my great ancestor." Unfinished business..."

The third prince Wei Wang behind him interrupted him, persuading him worriedly: "This thing is powerful, but it is very easy to imitate. I am afraid that it is not a blessing in the world. My son thinks that such a magical weapon should not be shown lightly to others. , not to be handed over lightly to generals, but to be supervised by experienced and prudent civil servants, in case someone in the army has such self-respect and repeats the story of the end of Han Dynasty."

King Qi's face turned red instantly, as if he was more serious than his father, and he gave King Wei a hard look.

The emperor never cared about the small confrontation between the two sons, he only called the emperor's eldest grandson, held his hand and asked, "Is Xian'er afraid just now?"

Although Xiao Huangsun was young, he had a stubborn and sharp temperament that his father did not have. He looked up at his grandfather and said, "Grandson is not afraid, grandson dares to fight!"

The child's voice was a bit sharp, piercing into the ears of the Son of Heaven who were muffled by the sound of the cannon, and he could hear it more clearly than the voices of other people.

The Son of Heaven then smiled, stroked his eldest grandson's soft hair shaved like a birthday peach, and said with a low eyebrow, "When Xian'er is a few years older, I will calm down the Northwest for my grandfather, okay?"

He turned around and glanced at the princes of King Zhou, King Qi and the accompanying civil and military ministers, his face was burning in the sun, and the brilliance in his eyes was as hot as a fire: "In the past, the border generals were mediocre and lacked in military equipment, so they ordered the Dalu several times. Invasion is the shame of the court and the world. Now that the nine borders are safe, the households have more and more silver deposits, and there are magic weapons in the court..."

The emperor's unusually bright eyes fell on Li Sanfu, and he asked: "Mr. Li is in charge of the household department, do you know that the imperial court has the spare power to attack the Tatars in the north within a few years?"

Li Mian bowed and replied: "Nowadays, the power of the people is gradually slowing down, but the Northern Expedition consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. It is comparable to defending the big frontier and fighting captives. The Ministry of Households can't make up such money and food for a while. However, in recent years, the imperial court has eliminated food collection In addition to taxes and miscellaneous taxes, industrial and commercial taxes are also increasing day by day, and military expenditures may be increased. When I return, I will work with the household department to calculate this matter, and submit a report to your majesty at another time."

The emperor closed his eyes, nodded and agreed: "Sir, hurry up."

In the past, the army at the frontier was weak, and the treasury and private treasury were empty. Such conditions were not always available, and he did not think about recovering the Northwest; but now that he has seen the hope of recovering the grassland in his lifetime, why is he not willing to do it?

If the national treasury is insufficient, there is still silver in the private treasury that he originally wanted to leave to the king of Zhou, so that the child would not be restrained by the ministers, fulfill his father's wish, and achieve eternal achievements!

He ordered the cabinet to discuss the matter with Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and then his eyes fell on King Zhou, giving him a meaningful look.

The king of Zhou was in charge of the military equipment on the nine borders, so it was most logical to entrust him with the expedition.

All the ministers around him and King Zhou himself had the same idea, but King Qi refused to let him go on like this. He took a step forward and fought for himself: "My son is willing to share the worries of my father! Please give me a chance .”

Although the emperor's brother has been in charge of Jiubian for several years, his temperament is docile and introverted, he only loves to read, and he is afraid that he will not be able to survive the danger of fighting on the battlefield; how can he compare to his mother and concubine who is the daughter of a general, and he has been skilled in bow and horse since childhood, so he is more suitable for battle fight?

If the emperor does not believe in his ability, he is also willing not to fight for power, not to preside over the war, and just go out as an ordinary soldier!

Anyway, if you stay in Beijing, you can only preside over the ceremony according to the protocol that has been set up a hundred years ago, and you can do it without him; Doing nothing in Beijing, it is better to go west to Xuan and Da, and have a hearty battle with Dalu!

Make some more military exploits and come back, so that the father can not only see the elder brother, but also see him as the second son who has made no mistakes and his mother's status is precious.

The resolute fighting spirit on his face was almost exactly the same as that of his father.Emperor Xintai has always been reluctant to give him military power, now, looking at his tense cheeks that are almost trembling, the glistening sweat on his forehead, and seeing his father's same heart of the Northern Expedition on his face, I couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

He raised his hand and beckoned to his second son: "Get up, the court needs to make more preparations for this matter, and you also need to make some preparations."

He was the Taiping prince in Beijing on weekdays, practicing bow and horse at will, reading military books, and listening to the praises of his noble relatives was enough.But if he really wanted to go out and kill the enemy, as an emperor, he was worried about handing over his soldiers and horses to such a general who talked about wars on paper, and as a father, he couldn't let a naive and spoiled son who didn't know the smoke of gunpowder go to the battlefield.

From now on, let him study military books with Mr. Shangshufang, and then ask Wei Guogong to choose children who are proficient in bow and horse to practice more with him.

Let this child go out and become a general who fights for the country.

After the trial shooting ended, the people only vaguely heard rumors that the imperial court had created a magic weapon, but there was a big disturbance in the imperial court.The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households were fully operational, and King Qi also put down his errand of supplying minerals to the economic park, went back to his study, and learned practical knowledge on the battlefield from his grandfather Wei Guogong.

The affairs of the mine were not carefully managed by the prince, and the household department managed it according to the method taught by the prefect of Song Dynasty. Why did it seem to be more efficient.

The efficiency of Wei Wang's economic park has also increased a bit. When the person in charge at the end of the month came to pay the account, he looked at the figures on the account book, and he couldn't help but smile slightly: "My second emperor brother Really..."

Want more, make less.

But stupid people have stupid blessings, and the emperor really dotes on him.It's not as meticulous as protecting the big emperor, but it also allowed this empty-headed general's grandson to take up empty positions in such a good place as the Ministry of Rites for many years. .

Fortunately, the imperial court is about to use troops to the northwest, the eldest brother is in Hanzhong, and the second emperor is going to leave Beijing. He will be the oldest prince in the court who can handle errands.

Regardless of the thoughts and actions of the two princes in Beijing and Zhongzhong, King Zhou had a very peaceful year, and he still set off for Hanzhong after the Lantern Festival holiday.

When the husband returns from a long journey, he wants to bring gifts and letters from relatives and friends to his long-awaited wife.This year, King Zhou and his eldest son got along for a long time, and the father and son gradually became close. He took back many of his son's writings and paintings and brought them back to Yuanniang. sewing.

Huan Ling brought home more things than the prince.

During the Chinese New Year, he went to his in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings. Not only did he get the jade from his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, but he also received many gifts for Song Shi.Not only his parents, brother and sister-in-law, three nephews, but also two little nieces who are a few years older, learned some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wrote a few big characters and drew a few flowers and plants for the third uncle.

The second elder brother and the second sister-in-law thought that one of the two children would be adopted to him in the future, fearing that they would lose Sanyuan's face, so they taught them to read and write from childhood, and let the two girls learn arithmetic from their elders——

They are not very good at these things as adults, and Huan Ling happened to be there during the Chinese New Year, so they left him to approve homework for a few days.

Huan Ling's status in the Song family was never so high even when Song Shi was still alive.Returning to Hanzhong Mansion, talking about this experience with Song Shi, he couldn't help but sigh: "I always hear you say 'knowledge is power' and 'knowledge changes destiny', usually just seeing others like this, this time I really experienced it for myself .”

His family is a scholarly family, he studied since he was a child, and he was promoted to Jinshi logically. After he became an official, he didn't care about high officials and rich salary, and only wanted to be with Song Shi. He had never realized so deeply that reading could change his status.

Song Shi admired the masterpiece of his beloved daughter who had not yet passed down his knees, and said with a smile: "Why is this the first time I realized it? When I came to your house when I was a child, if you read well, I can call you 'little Brother, would you like to study with your classmate? Uncle Song, I am not the kind of person who likes to coax children."

In that case, Huan Ling's position in his heart would not be a little brother, but a brat.He is a future manager of a listed company who has a successful career and has more than a dozen employees. Can he date a brat who he watched grow up?

Thinking of the situation himself, he couldn't help chuckling.Smiling and laughing but felt the heat behind him, the little senior brother stuck up from behind and whispered in his ear: "It turns out that Uncle Song doesn't like to coax children. Fortunately, I was useless when I was young." You didn't like it, but now that I'm not a child, Uncle Song is willing to coax me?"
