Chapter 145: Return
In order to find Song Ci, so far, Oriental Painting Brocade has spent three million taels of silver. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Why did it take so much?
Because, all the teams sent out to find Song Ci, Dongfang Huajin gave enough money. Let these people eat, drink, dress, and live well, and the mounts for travel are all the best horses, and they have enough money on hand to take out and inquire about the news. In this way, the speed can be increased and the efficiency will be much improved.
In addition, she also offered a huge bounty and asked Zhao Qian to invite ten heroes with excellent character to inquire about Song Ci's whereabouts. These people are also capable people, and they have some status in the rivers and lakes, and they have a wide range of contacts.
These ten people, each with their own territory, are distributed in various regions of the verdant country. In this way, as long as Song Ci is still alive, even if he loses his memory, or is imprisoned by some terrorist with special abilities, he can be found.
In addition, a reward of one million taels of silver was offered, and if Song Ci could be sent back safely, one million taels of silver would be obtained. Provide reliable information and get 100,000 taels of silver. Those who have salvation for Song Ci will be rewarded heavily. This part of the silver has not yet been counted among the three million taels of silver, and the three million taels of silver have already been spent.
Such a generous gesture amazes the world.
Zhao Songci's henchmen couldn't help but be very moved, and their loyalty to the hostess Oriental Painting Brocade increased several heights at once. They knew very well how much wealth King Qin had, and at most it was only 10 million taels of silver. Houses, granges, forests and shops, these real estate accounts for as much as half.
In other words, the princess took out almost all the gold and silver in the palace and the silver tickets stored in the bank, just so that she could help King Qin return to the palace safely. With such boldness, such affection and righteousness, and such determination and firmness, how can they not feel happy and convinced?
Because, if these money is spent, it is very likely that it will be wasted. Just because, the possibility of King Qin alive is very small. However, even so, she still resolutely threw a lot of money, just for that little hope. In other words, in order for King Qin to come back safely, she was even willing to give her life.
King Qin's henchmen have all kinds of brain supplements. The admiration and admiration for oriental painting brocade is increasing day by day. The attitude towards her is almost reverent!
Yes, it's piety! If Song Ci could come back safely because of her, those people would probably smear her liver and brain from now on!
Dongfang Huajin didn't expect that she would inadvertently subdue those henchmen around Song Ci. In the future, even if Song Ci comes back, with the support and protection of these people, she and her children should be safe and sound.
Oriental Painting Brocade firmly believes that Song Ci is still alive. Every day, I eagerly await hearing his good news.
However, the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.
With such all his efforts and hard work, such a long time has passed, but Song Ci is still nowhere to be heard. It's as if he disappeared out of thin air.
There are only two reasons for this; One, he was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, and there were no bones left; Second, he became an immortal and flew into the sky!
People in the world are basically inclined to the first point. But a very small number of people, who don't want to believe these two points, hope that he is still alive and hiding somewhere to recuperate. This few people are Dongfang Huajin and her children. In addition, there is a Raid Emperor.
Even An Hongyuan, deep down, is inclined to the first situation.
There's no way, it's been so long, it's a bit reluctant to say that Song Ci is still alive!
The enemy country lurking in the green country is fine, and at this moment, he is completely convinced that Song Ci died young! So, he passed this message to his master. When the king of the enemy country learned about it, he naturally felt itchy and ready to move.
In the past, because of the killing god of Song Ci, the surrounding countries did not dare to act rashly. For fear of annoying Song Ci, 100,000 elite soldiers were sent over, and his country would be destroyed. Just like ten years ago, a certain country attacked the country of green and slaughtered a border town in the country of green land, which angered Song Ci and blatantly wiped out the country.
Oriental painting brocade sat under the pear tree in the courtyard, wandering out of the world, An Yi came to report: "Master, the emperor announced that the master will enter the palace immediately!" ”
"Do you know why?" Dongfang Huajin stood up and asked as he walked towards the bedroom.
An Yi: "I don't know, the eunuch refused to say anything, as if he was very annoyed, and his expression was very anxious." ”
Dongfang Huajin sighed, quickly changed into solemn clothes, and before going out, he called Song Changhui and Song Ruhui uneasily: "My mother has entered the palace, it seems that something big has happened, you must not leave the house!" After my mother leaves, close the door of the house and don't let anyone in or out! Brothers and sisters, you have to take care of it, and you have to stay alone! ”
Now, it is an eventful time, and her heart is very worried.
Song Ruhui rarely saw her so serious, she was a little scared, and nodded vigorously: "Mother, I know, I won't go out." ”
Song Changhui is a little adult, very old-fashioned: "Mother, don't worry!" My son has grown up and can protect his mother and younger siblings! When the mother enters the palace, she must be careful, so as not to fall into the villain's calculations! Two hours later, if the mother has not returned, the son will personally enter the palace to pick up the mother! ”
The implication is that I am a man, and I can rely on my mother!
Dongfang Huajin looked at his son, who was still full of childishness, but his eyes were very firm and calm, and he couldn't help crying and laughing, and sighed deeply.
Alas, children are too independent and sad!
She hoped that at this moment, Changhui could look at her with a dependent face like Ruhui, and panic flashed on her little face. Her children should have a happy and relaxed childhood, not at a young age, just so old, they are already sad!
All this is because she didn't have a father when the child was young, it was all her fault, and it was she, the mother, who didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. Let the child be young, and he will have to bear that kind of pressure, such regrets. Although, at that time, she was almost inseparable from the children, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks in front of the children.
However, the children are precocious, everyone else has a father, and they go without a father. It's been a long time, how can you not think about it, and how can you not be sad?
Now, Song Ci's life and death are uncertain, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Changhui, this kid, has always been sharp-minded, so he must be very sad and sad in his heart, right? I don't know when it started, but this child seems to have grown a lot overnight.
If it is said that before Song Ci's accident, he still had a little childlike naughty and playful. Then, after Song Ci's accident, he became a lot quieter, and in addition to practicing martial arts and studying all day long, he quietly took care of his younger brothers and sisters. Every day, I will take time to chat with her, consciously or unintentionally explain her, hoping that she will not be too sad and sad.
With such a good son, she should care more about it.
When she goes to the palace today, no matter what happens, she will definitely focus on a few children. No matter what happens, she will live well and raise her children well.
Even if there is a big crisis, she will grit her teeth and get through.
The emperor and queen were in a hurry, she thought about many possibilities, and what she thought about the most was nothing more than that Song Ci had a whereabouts, and it was bad news! Otherwise, why is the eunuch so unhappy, and why is he unwilling to confide in a word?
This is very abnormal!
You must know that whether it is the eunuch palace maid next to the emperor or the eunuch palace maid next to the queen, they are very polite and affectionate to her. She is very kind to those people, and often gives some small gifts to those people, and even helps some people's families out of suffering.
Her popularity has always been very good.
Today, the eunuch's attitude made her heart can't help but set off turbulent waves.
If Song Ci is really gone, she will naturally be very sad and sad, and she may not be able to bear the pain. On the other hand, if Song Ci is gone, will the emperor's and queen's attitude towards her plummet?
No one could have predicted this.
The people of the Emperor's House are best at turning their hands into clouds and turning their hands into rain. Disguise, smiling tiger, is also a person from the emperor's house, very good at it.
Walking in the Imperial Garden, the Oriental Painting Brocade has already been beating like a drum.
However, this is not the case at all.
Her worries turned out to be unnecessary!
After listening to the emperor's words, a huge joy suddenly surged in her heart: Husband, it's okay if you're okay! It's okay!
No news, that's good news!
She told herself, comforted herself!
The emperor looked at her tightly, his face full of eager anticipation: "Lord An said, you may have a way to deal with the enemy country?" ”
Dongfang Huajin was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and nodded: "Weichen has a little shallow opinion, if it is inappropriate, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Ruide nodded without hesitation: "If you have any ideas, just say it and listen to it, don't have any scruples." No matter what you say, even if I don't like it, I will never be angry with you! ”
Oriental Painting Brocade: "May I ask Your Majesty, in Your Majesty's judgment, how long will it take for those small countries around us to unite and fight against our country together?" ”
Redde: "Three years at most, one year at the shortest." Now, those countries should not be ready to start a war, and they need time to prepare. In addition, it is not a matter of time for so many countries to join forces. There are certainly not a few people who oppose it. To achieve their own interests, there must be pulls! ”
Oriental Painting: "Wechen has several proposals, the first is to revise our country's military service system and abolish some previous inappropriate laws. ”
Speaking of this, she subconsciously glanced at the emperor, saw him frowning slightly, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, Weichen is a woman, and he must not discuss the government in vain." ”
Just as the harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, the wives of civil and military officials are also not allowed to discuss the government in vain, so as not to affect the behavior of those officials and do things that harm the country and the people.
Emperor Rhett was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the queen at a loss.
The empress sighed: "Your Majesty, your expression is too serious, it scares Mrs. Jinxiu!" ”
Emperor Ruide hurriedly said: "Empress, hurry up and help her up, I don't mean to blame her in the slightest!" He said very sincerely: "If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it, and don't have any scruples." You are Mrs. Jinxiu, not an ordinary woman, in my heart, you are a first-class member of the court, and you are my important minister! ”
Dongfang Huajin sighed deeply, stood up with the support of the queen, and sat down again: "Your Majesty, I heard that some border soldiers stay at the border for five years, ten years, or even more than ten years?" ”
Redde: "Yes, it does. Is there anything wrong with this? ”
Oriental Painting Brocade: "This is really inappropriate, it takes so long that it delays the soldiers from marrying wives and having children." Moreover, they can't honor their parents and care for their siblings. ”
Emperor Ruide disagreed: "Men should be ambitious in all directions, for the country and the people, and stationed at the border, which is a great honor." ”
Dongfang Huajin had a bad impression of him for the first time: "Your Majesty, those border soldiers, many of them are the pillars of the family. This pillar has been gone for so many years, and many families will be ruined because their lives are too poor, or they are bullied. Although it is said that it is a great honor for men to be ambitious in all directions and defend their families and countries. ”
After a pause, the conversation changed: "However, for a person, it is human nature to take care of the small family first and the country second. If a person can ignore his parents, wife, and children, and don't care about them, can His Majesty trust such a person? Perhaps, if you are given some benefits by the enemy, you will be easily bought! ”
Emperor Rhett frowned: "What you said, it's too serious, right?" ”
Oriental painting brocade: "Both sides of the enemy, there must be each other's fine works, if a person has no feelings and concerns for his parents and relatives, he must not be able to resist the other party's money and beauty!" If you don't care about your family, you can take a large bounty to go to the enemy country to settle down, settle down, and have children after betraying the secrets of our country! ”
The emperor was born in the royal family, and how did he know that the most important thing in ordinary people's families is family affection. How many people can do it for ten years without thinking about their relatives? For five or ten years, I couldn't reunite with my family, and it was not easy to exchange letters. In this way, who can rest assured and defend the country at the border?
Emperor Rhett thought about it carefully, and his back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
What she said actually made a lot of sense, but he didn't think it through.
"You're right, so, how to solve this problem?" Correcting mistakes is the biggest advantage of Reddi.
Oriental painting: "Those who serve in the army have a three-year period." When the three-year period is up, if you can't be promoted, and you want to retire from the army and go home, you can go home! Those who want to stay in the barracks can continue to stay if they are healthy, brave in battle, and have good character. ”
"From now on, hurry up and recruit a large number of soldiers. However, it is not possible to forcibly arrest strong men, and those who have only one child in the family are not within the scope of conscription. Men over the age of fifteen and under forty, in good health, not crazy or stupid, whether they are poor or rich, are all within the scope of conscription. Of course, it can also be replaced by silver money, and the poor family has ten taels of silver per person. For wealthy families, depending on the degree of wealth, there are more than 100 taels and less than 1,000 taels. ”
"For those who have a foundation in martial arts and are good at archery, they will be recruited with a lot of money and given a settlement fee of twenty taels to one hundred taels. Moreover, these people are organized into elite barracks, and even trained into scouts. Intensive training for three months should be effective, and such a team sent to conduct raids, night raids, or play strikers can play a big role! ”
"Soldiers are in the elite, not blindly winning by numbers. Those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, or who are naturally timid and afraid of death, recruiting them to the border will not play a big role, not to mention, they will become a burden and a waste of military rations......"
She said a lot right, and tried her best to explain her cognition of the army in her previous life in combination with the characteristics of the current society.
The people present all listened with sparkling eyes and their faces full of excitement.
A lot of the proposals, all very good, have not been considered in the past.
Emperor Ruide made up his mind: "Just do it, the children of the noble family, the children and grandchildren of officials, and the royal children and grandchildren are all included in the scope of conscription." There are too many gentlemen in the capital! Just right, take this opportunity to fix those boys who are making trouble everywhere! ”
And he said: "These people, who are not to be substituted with money, must roll in the barracks for three years!" Those who rely on the merits and power of their fathers to go to the border to grab credit must no longer be allowed to exist! It's shameless not to go to the battlefield, just stay in the barracks, and then rob others of their credit! If you continue like this, you won't get the experience you deserve, and you will also bury and treat many people who are truly meritorious! ”
Dongfang Huajin nodded: "Emperor Shengming, maybe some generals who could have been famous for a hundred years will be ruthlessly and ruthlessly suppressed when they just emerged, and they have been a small soldier who has been charging into battle, resulting in an untimely death, and there will be no future again!" ”
The queen also nodded fiercely: "That's true, the emperor is wise!" ”
Thinking of those gentlemen, she was very disliked. In particular, her mother's family also has a few gentlemen, and this time, they were all sent to the military camp for training! ”
Dongfang Huajin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the newly recruited soldiers must be systematically trained for more than three months before they are sent to the border pass!" If you can, it's best to train for more than half a year, don't teach any tricks when training, only teach one or two moves that can defeat the enemy, and that's pretty much it! Archery skills must also be passable, at least they can be hit close to the bull's-eye! At the end of the training, if you don't qualify, you either stay and continue the training, or simply send it home! ”
"Moreover, the recruited soldiers, it is better to use the county as a military camp. Local recruitment, local training, this can save time, save manpower, material and financial resources. As soon as the border pass starts a war, immediately set off for the border pass; If there was no fighting, they would have been training there and would have been discharged after three years. In the future, if there is another war, these veterans can also be quickly recruited and rushed to the border. ”
Emperor Red's eyes lit up: "This is very good, this can not only save a lot of military salaries and rations, but also ensure that those who go to the battlefield when they are not recruits are eggs!" Veterans who have undergone rigorous training are much more likely to save their lives when they go to the battlefield! ”
This oriental painting brocade is really not simple! Smart and wise, looking at the world, a woman as capable and courageous as she is, probably just that, right?
Emperor Ruide rewarded the Oriental Painting Brocade with a lot of tribute, and he was in a particularly happy mood.
Before leaving, Dongfang Huajin donated 100,000 taels of silver tickets on the spot: "Your Majesty, this is a little bit of heart from Weichen and Xinzhi, donated to the imperial court, as a military salary, to protect the family and defend the country!" ”
He also proposed: "Your Majesty, it is better to set up some donation points in various places." Now the treasury should not be too rich to pay so much for the military. ”
Emperor Ruide nodded in response: "This is a good idea, I will let people do this tomorrow!" ”
Because of the war, the low pressure brought to the palace was much more relaxed.
******
Song Ci had not yet returned to the capital, and along the way, he heard about King Yan's request to marry Dongfang Huajin.
His face was suddenly full of sneers like frost.
King Yan, Song Yan, is it?
Hum! What a send-off! This king will not spare you!
The betrayal of his relatives made Song Ci maintain a high vigilance, and he dressed up all the way and quietly returned to the palace. Then, in the eyes of the doorman in surprise and excitement, he went straight to the main courtyard.
"Painting, I'm back!"
Oriental Painting Brocade was dealing with affairs in the study, and when he heard the familiar voice, the voice that was longing for him, he suddenly raised his head, looked through the window lattice, and looked for the sound.
Song Ci stood under the pear tree outside the window, looking at her with a tender smile on his face, the smile was like the light of March, bright and brilliant; It was like the warm sun on that winter day, it was so warm, as if it could warm her heart.
She seemed to hear the cold ice in her heart, and made a "click" sound, and at this moment, it suddenly melted into spring water.
"Believe it!" Dongfang Huajin stood up suddenly, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't know it. She ran out, not paying attention, and tripped over the threshold.
"Be careful!" Song Ci's figure flashed, and she came to her side in the blink of an eye, and before she fell to the ground, she quickly held her up, hugged her in her arms, and whispered affectionately in her ear: "Huajin, I miss you!" ”
How many days and nights, thinking about her is distressed.
Dongfang Huajin didn't dislike him for being dusty, he was covered in dust and sweat, buried his head in his chest, and cried lowly: "Xianggong, I miss you so much, I miss you every day, and I'm about to go crazy when I think about it!" ”
"I'm sorry to make you suffer!" Song Ci was very distressed, and hugged her tighter, full of pity.
The years are quiet and the scenery is beautiful.
This beautiful and warm scene, seeing the people around him, couldn't help but burst into tears, and his eyebrows were full of joy.
