As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"Nothing, I'm leaving!" Qi Wanrong didn't even know why she asked such a sentence, she couldn't sit still completely with embarrassment, she stood up and ran away.

Hua Manlou, who inadvertently got a lot of favors, looked at her back blankly, and didn't remember it for a long time: "This girl...is there something wrong?"

Qi Wanrong also felt that something was wrong with her.

Recently, I have always been in a daze and giggling consciously or unconsciously, always thinking of going to Huamanlou, but always feel chest tightness when I see him, blushing and heartbeat when I look at him, I started to like wearing beautiful clothes, and , I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night because of a simple compliment.

In the seventeen years since she was born from her mother's womb, has Miss Qi ever had such an experience?

She thought she was sick, but not seriously ill.

But a few days ago, I went to see a doctor who was not very pleasing to the eye, Wan Cheng Yanran, who said that she was fine and had no problems at all, so what is the situation now?

After dawn, Qi Wanrong fell asleep in a daze, but Huamanlou appeared again in the dream, and said the phrase 'pretty beautiful' several times, and then...

Then Qi Wanrong woke up and felt that her face was burning badly.

"Why don't you go back to Beijing and find a reliable doctor?" Qi Wanrong stared blankly at the ceiling, wanting to cry without tears: "That white-haired man must have misread it!"

269. Father Returns

When Hua Manlou continued to perform salted fish movements...

Outside the Great Wall, a group of men and horses approached. One of the two leaders was a middle-aged uncle in the official robe of a third-rank military officer, and the other was a young man dressed as a general. The two stopped and looked at the Great Wall in the distance. Emotion.

Finally home!

Needless to say, these two were Huai Anbo and Huang Zichao who were sent to Tatar as envoys.

Now the spring grass has turned green, and the weather in April is getting hotter. Huamanlou was still muttering about her father a few days ago, and now her father is really back.

After the Tatar king-killing rebellion, Uncle Huai'an took his men and ran away without hesitation.

For the entire Tatar, Huai'an Bo is the culprit who provoked the incident on the grassland. There are many tribes who are loyal to Tuotuo and want to take revenge regardless of the cost. To arm their own tribe, there are some guys who seem to have brains who want to kill Uncle Huai'an and put the blame on others, anyway...

Uncle Huai'an was quite hated, and many people expected him to die suddenly on the spot.

Although there were still some tribes that had already surrendered to support them during the escape, after all, there were only a few who surrendered, so it was extremely embarrassing for the Huai'an uncles to run along the way.

Detours, hiding, and night travel are commonplace, so the return journey took nearly three months, and even a courier was not dared to release to avoid being intercepted and leaked.

But all of this is worth it, and today's Tatar is no longer a confidant of Zhao.

After passing the Great Wall is the territory of Dazhao. Uncle Huai'an couldn't help being extremely excited even though he was mature and prudent, and the group of young soldiers and imperial guards who followed behind him had already started cheering.

When they got here, the group of people didn't need to hide their whereabouts, so Uncle Huai'an played the banner of imperial envoy with great fanfare, and sent a messenger to the capital to announce his return.

After receiving the news, the capital instantly boiled.

The uproar was not due to the return of Uncle Huai'an, but because the purpose of Uncle Huai'an's mission to the grassland and a series of magical operations on the grassland were finally made public. All knowledgeable people were shocked: Tartar... was so badly played up?

Once again, since the founding of the state of Zhao, the Tatars have plundered southward almost every year. The frontier stretches from Liaodong in the east to Hetao in the west. No matter whether they are ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all hate Tatars to the bone.

You can see how grateful Qiaoqiao was to Huamanlou after the Battle of Datong. Even such a degraded girl loathes Tatars, let alone other people?

But for a long time, it is an undeniable fact that Da Zhao wins less and loses more against Tatar. Even if he wins occasionally, Da Zhao can only stick to the front line of the Great Wall, but Tatar returned to the grassland for a while Then it will go south again, which is really annoying.

But now...

The three sons of Tuotuobuhua each pulled up a team and almost hit the dog's brains, and there was a circle of ambitious guys staring at them, and there was a Wala squatting behind him trying to stab a knife, and people gathered around Hetao and Erren. A group of tribes who have taken refuge in Dazhao will become Dazhao's first line of defense against the grassland people...

It can be said that even if Da Zhao does nothing in the future, it will be difficult for the Tatars to recover, and the border areas will have at least a ten-year period of stability.

After the news spread, I don’t know how many people burst into tears on the spot, and many people whose relatives died at the hands of the Tatars planned to worship their ancestors—even though many people didn’t know what this event meant, but the Tatars died Many people are still clear about it, so even though the Tomb-sweeping Day on March [-] has just passed, who makes this thing worth paying homage to now?

Officials in the DPRK and China know more details than the folks, and they can see farther than the folks. After receiving the news, the morning court became a strategy meeting against the Tatars—yes, Da Zhao can certainly watch the Tatars with cold eyes Play like a dog, but in this situation, if you don't play it while you are sick and kill you, wouldn't you just wait for others to sit up again?

Experience tells the Han nationality that the various ethnic groups in the grassland are like weeds. If they are left alone, they will grow up in patches. Although they are in war now, maybe there will be a guy who is born to fight It turned out to be out of nowhere, and once again unified the grassland in a very short period of time, and then once again posed a threat to Da Zhao.

In this way, Da Zhao can't play the Tweet Order again this time, can he?Prairie people would not be so stupid.

So there was a quarrel between the DPRK and China. Some were simple-minded and rude and said that they would send troops to the Tatars at this time to kill them without any grass. Some hoped to build a city on the border and then emigrate slowly. Those who have a different heart intend to encourage the group of people who have defected to Dazhao to fight back, and there are also some scheming ones who want to follow Huai Anbo's operation this time and fight again. Anyway, they don't want to let the Tatars stop.

However, the above proposals have obvious loopholes, or they are simply unrealistic. For example, it is unrealistic to send troops. Da Zhao is currently in a tight financial situation, and there is no spare money to go deep into the grassland to fight; it is also unrealistic to build a city. Immigrants settled down to gradually expand, but there are very few crops suitable for grasslands, but the Han people are farming peoples, that is, Hua Manlou made some soil on the moon in his previous life. Everyone first wondered whether they could grow vegetables. This grassland It’s okay to confiscate the land in the sky, isn’t it?

Of course, there are also a group of skeptical idiots who question Uncle Huai'an, saying that he is exaggerating, that there may be local turmoil in Tatar, but it is definitely not a complete chaos - there are such tricks in any era, and it is not surprising.

But Emperor Guangxing on the throne didn't say a word, let this group of people quarrel, but felt emotional in his heart.

Huamanlou mentioned how to deal with the threat of the grassland in the future when dealing with the Wala incident, so with Huamanlou's Zhuyu in front, the remarks of this group of people in the court are simply bald.

The civil and martial arts in the palace are actually not as good as a young man, who will believe it?Co-authoring the imperial examinations that the imperial court spends a lot of manpower, material and financial resources every year, just choose ** such a group of mediocre people who only know how to quote classics and apply previous experience?

After feeling a lot of emotion, Emperor Guangxing thought of another thing.

Now that Tatar has fallen into this situation, whose first contribution is it?

The building is full of flowers.

In the past, there was a Datong war against Purdue, which was famous all over the world. Later, when the Tweeting Order was sent out, the Tatars were messed up, and by the way, they also created a feud with them. It can be said that Huamanlou destroyed the Tatars without leaving home. up.

Although this time did not expand the territory, this feat is comparable to the expansion of the territory. Didn’t someone suggest that the people can be relocated to build the city? Got it?At least the large area of ​​land south of Yinshan can be named Zhao.

So if this is the case, is he going to raise the title of Uncle Huai'an by one level, or is he going to give Huamanlou the credit he has accumulated over the past few times?

Emperor Guangxing was caught in a dilemma.

270. Preaching

To be honest, the road that Emperor Guangxing first planned for Huamanlou was the most stable and safest.

If you don’t remember, you can turn to Chapter 50 to see how many thousand-layer cakes Emperor Guangxing had at the time... Cough, how much attention is paid to Huamanlou.

Originally, Emperor Guangxing wanted to suppress him and place him in the position of Qianhu in Xishan, and he would not be promoted until Zhao Ren came to power.

After all, based on the current close relationship between the prince and Huamanlou, even if Emperor Guangxing did not leave a will, Zhao Ren would reuse Huamanlou, and he might even suddenly be promoted to a position under one person——Emperor Guangxing He knew the extent of his son's jerk, and he could do this kind of thing.

It was also based on this consideration that Uncle Huai’an was sent as an envoy. Emperor Guangxing originally wanted to put all the credit for his son on Lao Tzu’s head. On the stage during the reign of Zhao Ren.

But at this time and at that time, Huamanlou hadn't messed with other things at the time, and Emperor Guangxing just hoped that he could train a surprise soldier, and the time limit was still three to five years—you know, Huamanlou back then Manlou is considered an exceptional promotion.

But he is such an exceptionally promoted person. Even Mr. Wen Ge is full of praise for the things that have been tossed out these days, even if the Tatars are not mentioned, such as blast furnace iron smelting, opening a mutual market, making balloons, offering advice on plain white lotus, and reforming the military system , Jianshui Master, one pile after another is dizzying, and even fiddled with two shops to earn a lot of money back. Emperor Guangxing has never seen this kind of courtier after he has been emperor for more than ten years.

Now even though Huamanlou is still in the position of Xuanwu Wei Xishan Qianhu, what he has done has gone beyond a lot, and has even had an impact on the entire Great Zhao. Most importantly, his influence on the crown prince is unrivaled. .

In this way, is he still suitable to be a Xishan Qianhu?

In addition, Emperor Guangxing was very distressed by the frequent blooming of Huamanlou - if he was only suitable for making suggestions, then he would be transferred to the cabinet and placed under Lao Wen's command, and at the same time let him serve in the East Palace; He is just a military officer, so let him guard the East Palace, or serve in the ban, anyway, he can get close to the prince.

But the problem is that Huamanlou, with one hammer to the other, can easily bring down the Tatars strategically, and can easily raise the grade of Da Zhao in the military. Even the smelting technology he fiddles with is second to none in Da Zhao. The business seems to come at your fingertips, not only making money from the wealthy people in Dazhao, but also harvesting the wool of the grassland people. At the same time, it can teach the prince many things, and...

Well, how can he compose poetry? Emperor Guangxing really doesn't know where to put this kind of all-round talent.

After the naval division was confirmed, Emperor Guangxing was still not sure how to arrange Huamanlou, so he simply set up an imperial envoy similar to a commissioner, but the incompetence shown by Zhan Shifu later made Emperor Guangxing have some ideas Li: Why don't you let the prince come forward and do things in the name of the East Palace?

This approach is a bit like the Kaifu Jianya of the Han Dynasty. On the surface, the crown prince took the lead, but in fact, Huamanlou was the main focus, creating an exclusive yamen, whose main functions...

Not ready yet.

In other words, Emperor Guangxing didn't know what else Huamanlou could do. Recently, I heard that he was working on new medicine while casting cannons. He was also looking for craftsmen who could make glass among the people. My daughter ran to help, this kind of tossing...

Emperor Guangxing looked forward to it, and at the same time, he also expected the prince to learn more from Huamanlou.

Therefore, Emperor Guangxing's initial idea was not to limit what Huamanlou could do, but just toss about it casually, after all, Huamanlou was really not suitable for any specific position.

But even if it is not limited, this newly-built yamen has the basics, such as the research and development and manufacture of firearms, the training of firearms and artillery, iron casting, and sailors. Others can't play with his things.

But although this idea is beautiful, it is actually a bit too outrageous.Because the opening of the government and the establishment of the teeth is to allow the prince to create a small independent power outside the imperial court. This part of the power is more powerful than the ordinary East Palace, because compared with the ordinary yamen, it has a considerable degree of autonomy, personnel, finance, etc. Even the military and law can operate alone - in other words, this is equivalent to setting up a small kingdom in Xishan.

In this way, if the prince intends to take the throne early, it may be a change of Xuanwumen-although there is no change of Xuanwumen in this world, there are many similar things, so anyone who has not thought about it Normal emperors would not do this.

Even if Emperor Guangxing is only such a son, he himself seems to have no interest in imperial power, but the courtiers will never allow the emperor to play like this. After all, doing so may shake the foundation of the country. People's hearts are the most unpredictable, even though the current Zhao Ren seems to be unreliable and indifferent at times, but who knows if he will take the knife against his own father after he has tasted the sweetness of power?

In history, there are quite a lot of princes who used swords against their own fathers.

Therefore, not only is there a lot of resistance to doing it like this, but even if it is done, it will be very laborious for Huamanlou to manage-with a pig teammate like the prince, and there are all kinds of open and dark arrows in the middle, what should Huamanlou do if he can't handle it? ?

So the former Emperor Fan Guangxing suppressed this idea just now, but now that Uncle Huai'an returned to Beijing with a lot of credit, it seemed like an opportunity, so this idea popped up again.

The dispute between the court and the court was still raging, and Emperor Guangxing was also constantly thinking: things must be done, but how to set up a name to shift the focus?

By the way, Emperor Guangxing and Huamanlou learned the trick of setting up a title cleverly. They did a very refreshing job when they turned the Oala Mutual Market into a tribute form. Can you still do this?

At this moment, Guozijian Jijiu walked out of the crowd tremblingly, and said nonsense about grassland people's incomprehension of etiquette and disrespect for education, which made everyone drowsy.

But Emperor Guangxing suddenly became sober - not because of the call from the Guozijian Jijiu, but because of his official position: the principal of the highest school in Dazhao!

Considering that many people in Xishan are recruiting disciples, why not turn this place into a large school?

First, the school will not arouse the disgust of the courtiers. How many bad thoughts can there be?

Secondly, most of the things taught in this school are things that literati don't like, such as firearms, smelting, medical skills and even the principles of physical knowledge, but these things are really beneficial to Da Zhao, so why not let more people participate ?

Thirdly, as long as the name of the school is in place, then the prince can stay there logically-the three of us must have my teacher, who is it not to learn from?If Zhan Shifu dares to object, he will first argue with Kong Shengren's words.

Fourth...

There are too many benefits, Emperor Guangxing immediately made a decision: give the first merit to Huamanlou, let him toss it up!

(Prince and grand master are obviously impossible. After all, military officers, and three fathers and three orphans are all honorary positions. In theory, they are civil servants with high morals and high esteem. As for concubines, even if there is a princess, they can’t do this. The consorts of the Ming Dynasty basically just eat Salted fish waiting to die, not participating in politics. And what the hell is the prince's son-in-law?)

271. How many things have happened in the past few months?

When Emperor Guangxing made up his mind, Hua Manlou, who was leading people to meet Uncle Huai'an, suddenly felt a chill when he received the news.

"Why do you suddenly feel chilly?" Hua Manlou looked around inexplicably, but found nothing wrong.

Qi Wanrong, who went out together with Huamanlou to welcome Shi Bo, came over flatteringly: "Catch a cold? When I go back at night, I will ask Xiaodong to make you some ginger soup?"

"Uh...thanks." Hua Manlou looked unnatural.

"Why are you being polite?"

"You're welcome, isn't this just politeness?"

Hua Manlou reconfirmed that there was definitely something wrong with this girl.Not to mention that she has to come out to pick up people today, you see she has learned to care about people!

By the way, the ginger soup...can't add some ingredients, right?

Speaking of which, a seemingly virtuous woman surnamed Pan is also good at decocting medicine. Her most famous line is: Da Lang, drink the medicine.

Then Dalang disappeared.

So even though Qi Wanrong didn't look like a woman surnamed Pan, she didn't look very virtuous, but she suddenly acted virtuous and began to decoct medicine - ginger soup is also medicine, right?Ginger brown sugar is considered a famous medicine-is this dangerous?

Hua Manlou swallowed nervously, turned to look at Qi Wanrong and planned to have a chat with her to resolve the misunderstanding that day.

But just looking at Huamanlou, he was stunned: What the hell is that weird smile like?

As we all know, Miss Qi's acting style is quite military-style, so in theory, she should smile like a military general, such as "Wahhahahahaha...", with her hips raised to the sky.

But today...

Although it was very impolite to say it, this kind of gentle and spring-like style is really not suitable for her, so it can be said to be quite weird.

But when she turned her head and saw Hua Manlou's dull gaze, Qi Wanrong's face blushed, and she steered her horse to the female soldiers' formation. At this moment, she had this thought in her heart: I... I didn't act too strange just now Bar?Why is he looking at me like that?And why is the heart beating so fast?I am really sick!

When Qi Wanrong was in a trance, Xiaodong was pulled aside by Xiaonan: "What's the situation? Why haven't we seen each other for a few days, and the atmosphere in the world between the two has become so pleasing to the eye?"

Xiaodong opened his mouth, and finally spit out a few words: "Probably, it's fate."

Xiao Nan suddenly became excited: "What happened, why did it arrive? What happened?"

Xiaodong smiled wryly: "Don't ask, even I am wondering, if I knew this, it would be better to get both of them drunk!"

Xiao Nan seems to have realized something: "I probably understand... I should have done this if I said it earlier!"

There was a commotion here, but Huamanlou did not stop there.

Today, Qin Dae and the youngsters from Xishanwei returned, and this time it can be regarded as an indelible achievement, so Hua Manlou felt that he should support the stage-heroes should be treated like heroes, right?Therefore, he pulled out a lot of people from Xishan, just for a grand occasion.

Although he knew that Bo Huai'an liked to keep a low profile, didn't this also include his young soldier and Huang Zichao?The second in command of Xishan is back, so he has to be greeted grandly no matter what?

Therefore, not only the young soldiers, Qi Wanrong and her female soldiers accompanied Huamanlou on the trip, but also representatives of artisan households, logistics family members, sales team representatives, and a group of people from the management team, including the chief financial officer. Qiao, Qian's secretary Qin'er, Bailian saint, Xishan branch vice president Ye Gucheng, and the boss's son Zhao Ren.

But soon Hua Manlou felt that taking Zhao Ren out was cruel to him: this bumpkin who had never seen the world or even been out of the capital fell into a constant state of excitement when he went out. Chasing an unlucky rabbit, and then trying to climb a tree to dig out a bird's nest, is simply annoying.
