The sixth year of the Apocalypse is at the beginning of the most recent Xiaoice River Period on Earth, and this Xiaoice River Period lasted from the Wanli period at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the Kangxi period at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, lasting for half a century. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the winter is long and the summer is short, the drought continues, and the people are miserable. Almost every winter is in the midst of cruel and unforgiving frost and snow.

On October 20, the scorching cold that lasted for a month filled the streets and alleys of the capital with fatigue and desertion. Goolan tile shop has lost the excitement of the past. The bazaar is almost closed. Small traders and hawkers did not dare to go out of the stalls, and they cowered at home to guard the hot kang heads of their wives and children, and the citizens also gave up their livelihoods and took refuge from the cold at home.

The Forbidden City in the ice and snow is like a giant ice sculpture palace, silent, the roof tiles are icy and unmelting, except for the little eunuchs shoveling snow and sweeping the floor at the door, and the Praetorian Guards patrolling the palace walls, there is almost no trace.

On this day, Wang Zhizheng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, happened to be at home, and in the afternoon, Wang Zhizheng sat lazily in his study, with Cui Shun, the staff of the Chongguo Mansion, and Jiang Nai, the Tongzhi (equivalent to the chief of the General Staff) of the Great Commander's Mansion, the three of them gathered around a game of Go and a pot of charcoal, while playing Go with great interest, while drinking soju, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong watched the battle on the sidelines, waiting.

The snow outside the window sets off the warmth of spring in the study, which looks quiet and serene.

Wang Zhizheng played against Cui Shun, Jiang Nai watched the battle with soju, and saw Wang Zhizheng's sunspots surrounded by Cui Shun's whites in a cruel and ruthless killing, and Wang Zhizheng, who was killed, frowned and sighed, shaking his head. simply made a faint move, this move is tantamount to cocooning and self-restraint, even Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong next to him frowned and shook their heads!

Jiang Nai is a chess addict, addicted to chess, and his highest record is to play against Cui Shun, a staff member of Chongguo Mansion, for five hours, without eating or sleeping.

At this time, Jiang Nai, the chief of staff who was watching the battle, really couldn't stand it, put down his wine, and said loudly: "Great commander, aren't you digging a hole for yourself!" Cui Shun waited for the mung bean-like little eyes, turned his head and glanced away at Jiang Nai: "Brother Jiang!

Jiang Nai shook his head and sighed: "It seems that my staff officer can't help when he is playing chess!"

Although Wang Zhizheng can make good decisions in political struggles, diplomacy, and befriending powerful people, his chess level is really not high, and even Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong, two laymen, are better than him.

In order to win over Jiang Nai, the chief of staff of the Great Commander's Mansion, Wang Zhizheng has asked Jiang Nai, a staff officer of the Great Commander's Mansion, to go home to drink and play chess from time to time in the past half a month, and have a deep friendship with him.

Knowing that Jiang Nai was the most filial piety, on the occasion of Jiang Nai's father's 60th birthday, he sent Zhou Cheng and Zhou Gong to send a table of good table noodles and 20-year-old wine to Jiang Nai's mansion, giving Jiang Nai's face. This incident moved Jiang Nai quite a lot.

As Jiang Nai, who has been the chief of staff of the Praetorian Guard for ten years, has never had a bad time with any leader, for Wang Zhizheng, Jiang Nai knows that he has a background and is also a master with real skills, so he needs to get along well with this new leader.

For Wang Zhizheng, who is a new official, what he wants is not three fires, but three cans of soup, he needs to pull all the subordinates who can be won over to the tent as soon as possible, serve the people as soon as possible, firmly grasp the command of the Praetorian Guard as soon as possible, and subdue the "three dragons" as soon as possible!

Therefore, Wang Zhizheng's deep friendship with the object of his friendship aimed at two people: Chief of Staff Jiang Nai and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Ying. If Jiang Nai can recover it, Wang Ying will naturally recover it.

Jiang Nai's relationship with the three battalions of the Praetorian Guard's "Three Dragons" is very good, and he has been friends for more than ten years, and he is the backbone staff officer of the Praetorian Guard.

Wang Zhizheng wants to use him to bond his relationship with the "Three Dragons" and lay a good foundation for the recovery of the "Three Dragons".

Not surprisingly, Wang Zhizheng dug a big hole for himself, and he was killed by Cui Shun, a staff member of the Chongguo Mansion, and he was bloodied, which was miserable.

Wang Zhizheng smiled open-mindedly, threw the remaining chess pieces in his hand into the jar, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Don't play, don't play, Mr. Cui is really amazing, playing chess with you two national players, I, Wang Zhizheng, am humiliating myself!"

Cui Shun smiled, his mung bean-like eyes blinked, and said word by word: "Playing chess and arranging troops are the same thing, the combination of virtual and real, movement and stillness, the commander plays chess, the chess path is too positive, just like your name, 'lose the right'! Like you are too upright, you need someone to help you take the sword sideways!" Cui Shun said, blinking his mung bean eyes, and looking at Jiang Nai with a smile without saying a word.

Wang Zhizheng said unconvinced: "Mr. Cui, my father gave me the name 'Wang Zhizheng', which means 'leading to the right', but you say that I 'lost the right', I don't accept it!"

Jiang Nai is such a smart person, it can be seen at a glance that this is a "double reed play" directed by Wang Zhizheng and his staff Cui Shun, which is nothing more than forcing him to express his position today. Jiang Nai had the intention of taking refuge for a long time, and after listening to it, he took a sip of the soju in his hand with a smile.

Then, he smiled, stood up and said: "The commander, the way of using soldiers is indeed 'surprisingly upright', Mr. Cui said that you are too upright, but I said, 'upright' is good, although the commander is 'upright', Jiang is not talented, and is willing to help you 'surprise'!" Jiang Nai said, stood up and stroked the corner of his robe, knelt down on one knee to Wang Zhizheng, and bowed with his fists: "From now on, Jiang is your personal adviser, and I am willing to work for the commander like Brother Cui Shun."

After a pun on "sit and talk", Jiang Nai skillfully showed his attitude to Wang Zhizheng, the commander, you only need to follow the rules and regulations, as for those conspiracies and tricks, the sword is on the side, I Jiang Nai's plan for you.

Jiang Nai's kneeling down and bowing this means that in the future, in the Praetorian Guard's Commander's Mansion, Jiang Nai's personal team will be his own personal team, Wang Zhizheng smiled and stood up to help Jiang Nai, who knelt on the ground: "Brother Jiang, please get up!" Jiang Nai's back seat, Wang Zhizheng picked up the cooked soju in his hand, and raised a glass to Jiang Nai: "Brother Jiang, since you said that you are willing to be upright for me in the future, I, Wang Zhizheng, toast you today, I hope that from today on, we can build the Praetorian Guard into a fighting royal guard." ”

Jiang Nai took the wine and saluted it back, and then drank it all.

Wang Zhizheng did not rush to ask the point, but said to Jiang Nai with a smile: "As the saying goes: A companion is like a tiger." Zhizheng is now the commander of the Praetorian Guard, which is to make a loyal and reliable watchdog for His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty is happy, reward two bones to gnaw, and His Majesty is not happy, so he will kill the dog and cook meat at any time. I hope Brother Jiang will teach me, how can I be a good watchdog?"

Jiang Nai stroked his mustache, pondered for a moment, and whispered: "Grand Commander, you might as well say bluntly, if you want to be a good commander of the officer, you must recover the 'three dragons' of the three major battalions, and with the obedience of the three dragons, the Grand Commander can facilitate scheduling!"

Jiang Nai is a smart man, and he knows what help he will provide to Wang Zhizheng's current predicament. So he didn't beat around the bush and led the topic to this aspect himself.

Wang Zhizheng and his staff member Cui Shun glanced at each other, and Master Cui smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, this is the biggest dilemma of the Great Commander at present! The three major battalions of the Praetorian Guard are nominally under the command of the Grand Commander, but in fact, the three battalions are integrated into one, and they are not grasped in the palm of their hands at all. ”

Jiang Nai didn't answer Cui Shun's words, he stood up, paced to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and was thinking while enjoying the snow scene.

Cui Shun and Wang Zhizheng did not disturb his thoughts, but silently drank low-alcohol soju, and while drinking, they stretched out their hands to bake the fire above the charcoal basin.

After contemplating for a moment, Jiang Nai turned around, gestured with his index finger and middle finger and said, "Great Commander, in the next few days, I will go to talk to the three dragons on your behalf and probe their tone, I believe that with my three-inch tongue, I can persuade them to obey you." But in order to get them to do what you say, you need to work together and do a few things that will convince them. ”

Wang Zhizheng wanted Jiang Nai's words, he stood up happily, held Jiang Nai's hand, and said emotionally: "Wang Zhizheng has Brother Jiang's help, and he won't have any worries in the future." ”

Through today's mutual confession, Wang Zhizheng successfully received Jiang Nai, the think tank of the Praetorian Guard, the three products of the Praetorian Guard.
