Chapter 30: Embarrassment
"Are you threatening me?" Yang Zheng tilted his head slightly and looked at Mo Tianxing: "Can I say that the 50,000 taels of silver are what I deserve?" Why the military uniform of the Southern Army fell in the 'Jinyifang', you and I both know it! If you take the risk, it's natural to get some silver to suppress the shock, right? 'I want the horses to run fast, and I want the horses not to eat grass', Mo Shilang still don't think about it! ”
Frowning, Mo Tianxing was a little displeased. Putting aside the feelings, do you only talk about money?
Yang Zheng's expression was indifferent, and he looked at Mo Tianxing without concessions. As if declaring that he deserves a share of the money.
After staring at each other for a long time, Mo Tianxing turned his head slightly to the side, and chose to back down before Yang Zheng.
"Hehe, what I asked you to inquire about has an eyebrow?" Mo Tianxing pressed Yang Zheng to sit on the chair with a smile on his face, the embarrassment couldn't last too long, and Mo Tianxing changed the topic in time.
The corners of his eyes were picked, Yang Zheng glanced at Mo Tianxing, the corners of his mouth twitched, and two big "dimples" squeezed out of his cheeks. At the end of the point, he Yang Zheng also needs an eye and ear to walk around the capital and use each other. Feeling? How much is it worth?
"Hehe, why can't Brother Mo make jokes when the official is bigger? Okay, let's get down to business. The eldest prince secretly went to Yangzhou to supervise the sailors and rectify military discipline, and heard that the 'King of Jingnan' was scolded in disgrace. And the emperor just issued a decree to the old prince Hua, ordering him to 'act expediently', who is more favored among the two kings of the north and south, I don't need to say it more clearly, right? ”
"The household department just allocated 500,000 taels of silver to 'Weicheng' a few days ago, and ordered the old prince to expand the three battalions of soldiers. Ordered the military department to abolish the 'hundred troops' of the water division, cut the rank of 37 deputy generals and partial generals, and now ordered the eldest prince to 'supervise the division'......"
Mo Tianxing pursed his lips. "The prestige is unpredictable", I didn't expect that the 'King of Jingnan', who is delicate and domineering and deeply favored by the emperor, will also be suspicious one day. Thinking about the anxious "King of Jingnan", Mo Tianxing was glad that he was just a civil servant, although he did not have the idea of "supporting the army and respecting himself", but he also saved the worry of "high merit and shock the master". once fell out of favor and was knocked to the dust...... Thinking about the situation after the "King of Jingnan", Mo Tianxing couldn't help but shudder.
Yang Zheng's eyes darkened, he knew what Mo Tianxing was thinking. Military power, this is a thorn in the emperor's heart. "Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world" is just a nonsense made up by the puppet to comfort himself. Popular Hearts? I wonder if I can resist the iron hooves of the army of millions of tigers and wolves? Since he joined the army, he has always wondered how the generals can stand, and Hua Qianqiu may be his role model! Where the emperor points to fight, the dispatch of a soldier is not far away, please play on the table, and the heart of caution can be seen!
Be cautious, do not take credit for yourself, do not make claims under the pretext of "not being subject to the orders of foreign monarchs", and even ask for "cutting the feudal domain and reducing the salary" for many years, and the descendants refused to accept the title of prince. To put it bluntly, the military general must let the emperor understand that he is one of his dogs, with sharp fangs to defend against the enemy, but will never rebel against his master.
Unwilling? Maybe there will be! But "the general can really not accept the order of the king outside", but don't be superficial. Yang Zheng smiled, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away" as long as he shows his sincere fear in the recital!
"Help me keep an eye on the 'Jingnan Wang' Mansion, and let me know as soon as there is a slight sign of easing, hehe...... It's better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake, isn't it? Mo Tianxing laughed a few times, the military general is better than the brave; What about Wenchen? To be able to drill camp!
"Add 10,000 taels of silver, my ninth aunt is too noisy to buy a house in the capital!" It's a bastard if you don't make money, Yang Zheng thought with a few sneers in his heart.
Glaring at Yang Zheng, who was in the eyes of the money, Mo Tianxing shook his head helplessly: "Okay, but this year's military uniforms will be made of cotton cloth that has been aged for five years, as for how to deal with it?" It's reasonable to do less, and it's not bad if you don't move! "The silver is earned by one's own blood and sweat, and if you want it, you have to pay the price.
"You...... All right! However, you have to make a good cotton cloth at the crotch of the military pants, so that the soldiers of the whole battalion and the whole battalion wear open crotch pants collectively, then it is difficult to explain! Yang Zheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said.
…… Divide...... Cut...... line
"Qingwu, do you feel wronged?" Lian Lei looked at the light dance in her arms with her little eyes blinking, and then looked up at the few stars leaking through the roof, and said with some sadness.
"Grievance? Why? Qingwu thinks that as long as she can nest in her mother's arms, it will be good! House? Cluck...... When Qingwu grows up, you can buy a big one for your mother, so big, so big...... Mother, just wait to enjoy the blessing of light dance! ”
The skin around his eyes wrinkled slightly, and he said with a smile. Although the light dance is small, she knows that a woman's life is not easy, there is a mother who loves herself, she is free to look at the flowers and plants every day, the days are calm but carefree and warm, and there is nothing to complain about. He shrugged his little shoulders and felt that he was lucky compared to those little maids!
Lianlei pecked lightly on her smooth forehead, and her heart was overflowing with sweetness. Thinking about the light dance in her previous life, Lian Lei sighed lightly, she must hold her own destiny again, live and live well, in order to make the light dance happy and worry-free!
"Light dance, mother......" Lianlei paused for a moment, feeling that there were some things that she had to confirm again. Light dance, mother and father want to separate, will you follow your mother in the future? Lei asked again with some trepidation.
"Dad helps outsiders bully his mother, and Qingwu hates him! Light dance as long as the mother! Qingwu hugged Lianlei's neck tighter, and said in a coquettish and angry voice.
"The money my mother brought is not much...... "Lian Lei was only halfway through her words, and she was blocked by her dancing little hand. Mother, the light dance will be very well-behaved, no new clothes, no sugar gourd...... Even, just a steamed bun for a day of light dancing! Light dance is very easy to feed, and light dance will also work, mother, don't leave light dance, okay? Woo woo ......" Speaking of emotion, he danced lightly and wet his eyes with tears.
"Dance lightly, don't cry, how can my mother leave the light dance?" Lianlei caressed her lightly dancing cheeks and said softly. Feeling the dependence of the light dance, Lian Lei's heart was full of sweetness. With the company of the light dance, Lianlei felt that she was a little confused, and the road ahead became clear. Guarding and guarding the light dance may be the main theme of your future life!
"Light dance, you have to keep your eyes open when you marry in the future, identity, status, and appearance can all be ignored, there is only one thing, as long as he is good to you and obedient!" Lian Lei scratched the little nose of the light dance, thought about her life, and sighed involuntarily.
"Don't get married if you dance lightly! Qingwu has been by her mother's side all her life...... Hmph, my mother just wants to dare to dance lightly! Qingwu flattened her mouth and said a little angrily.
"Strange words!" Lian Lei patted Qingwu's little head, sighed, and said in her heart that if her mother knew about it, would she feel sorry for herself as she felt sorry for Qingwu?
