Chapter 029: Take the opportunity to admonish
Thank you for the sachet rewarded by the magic pen and the peace charm rewarded by the water river!
At night, Empress Wenci came to the Zichen Palace to find Emperor Guangzhao and informed him of the prince's idea of marrying Xizhen as a side concubine.
Emperor Guangzhao was taken aback when he heard this.
"The prince and Miss Shen?" Emperor Guangzhao looked at Empress Wenci with burning eyes, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
This is exactly what Empress Wenci wants, so Empress Wenci said: "The concubine also felt a little surprised when she first heard it, thinking that the two of them didn't know much about each other, and Miss Shen was not an ordinary woman, so I thought it was better to think about it in the long run." ”
Emperor Guangzhao immediately thought of the letter that King Qingping had written to him, and now that the prince also had this intention for Miss Shen, the matter became complicated.
Seeing that Emperor Guangzhao wanted to speak and stopped, Empress Wenci couldn't understand his thoughts for a while, because she said: "It's really undesirable for the concubines and princes to add something to the emperor." ”
"Seeing that the marriage between Can'er and Yueyu is approaching, let's wait for him to talk about it after he gets married, I have written it down." Emperor Guangzhao said lightly.
"That's very good, thank you Emperor!" Empress Wenci also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted and thanked her.
"You stand down first, I want to be alone for a while." Emperor Guangzhao deliberately pinched his head with his hand and said.
"Then the emperor should take a good rest, the dragon body is important." Empress Wenci immediately retreated with interest.
Emperor Guangzhao changed his sitting posture, pondered silently for a while, and called Gonggong Zhang in.
"Go to the Xiyi Pavilion and show me the roster of the palace doctor."
Father-in-law Zhang immediately complied.
After reading Shen Xizhen's birthday, Emperor Guangzhao instructed Gonggong Zhang: "Send someone to invite Yuntian Master into the palace early tomorrow morning, and don't let others know." ”
"No!" Gonggong Zhang immediately received the order to retreat.
said that when Xi Zhen came home from the palace, it was already evening, and she found that Du Qiniang and Ji Yuelian were waiting for her to come back, and both of them had joyful looks on their faces, and they couldn't help but be curious.
"King Qingping has sent you a letter." Du Qiniang said, taking out the letter from her pocket.
Xi Zhen was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly took it, and opened it in front of the two of them.
"When the morning wind blows through the fields, I'm thinking of you. When the scent of afternoon flowers blows into the windowsill, I'm thinking of you. When the sunset turns the sky red, I'm thinking of you. When I miss you, my heart is silent and happy. You are both like seeing the world, and you have the innocence of a child, and you are equally wonderful and charming from the inside and out, and I love you so much. You are like the brightest light in my life, whether I open or close my eyes, I can perceive your light. I want to hold your hand, stand on the top of the mountain, and see the beauty of this world together. I want to be able to see your beautiful eyes when I open them every day, and start my day sweetly and happily. I would like to hand over all my qiē and put it in your hands, if you can also hand over your heart, I will be the happiest person in the world, I hope you can fulfill this dream of mine. ”
Looking at this passage and considering the meaning of each word, a happy smile appeared on Xizhen's face.
"Love poems?" Ji Yuelian asked her.
"It's a paragraph." Xi Zhen replied.
"That's probably about the same as a love poem, otherwise why would your face suddenly turn red?" Ji Yuelian said jokingly.
"King Qingping is really a one-in-a-thousand character, if Zhen'er can conclude a good relationship with him, she will really wake up laughing in her sleep." Du Qiniang also said with a smile.
"Mother, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." Xi Zhen hurriedly said coquettishly, walked to Du Qiniang and Ji Yuelian and sat down, and drank tea with them.
While the three of them were talking, Jiang Weibai walked in from outside.
"Sister Bai is here, come in and sit." Xi Zhen hurriedly walked out to greet him.
"Sister Zhen, I came this time to ask for something." Jiang Weibai whispered in Xizhen's ear.
"Okay." Xizhen immediately got up, took Wei Bai's hand and said to Du Qiniang and Ji Yuelian: "Mother, sister-in-law, Sister Bai and I have some personal matters to discuss, so go back to the room first." ”
"Go, go, go." The two of them hurriedly waved at them.
Entering Xizhen's boudoir, Jiang Weibai couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and said to Xizhen: "Sister Zhen, my father agreed to let me enter the palace to be a palace doctor." ”
"Really? That's great, I'll ask the manager of the Xiyi Pavilion tomorrow to see what she thinks. ”
"Okay!" Jiang Weibai held Xi Zhen's hand tightly, as if pinning all his hopes on her, Xi Zhen also knew that Wei Bai wanted to prove his strength, so he had already thought about what to do tomorrow to ensure that Wei Bai could go in.
It was already night when he sent Weibai away, and Xizhen sat intently in the room and took a hexagram.
When she saw the hexagram, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, after the class was finished, Xizhen applied to the steward of the Xiyi Hall, and the steward hurriedly said, "This is very good, but I still have to ask the above for instructions and see the opinions from above." ”
"Okay, then there's a labor manager!"
Xi Zhen took a short rest, picked up the piano and went to the Zichen Palace.
Now, she teaches the palace ladies every morning and plays the piano for Emperor Guangzhao in the afternoon, and her life is very fulfilling.
Entering the Zichen Palace, she saw from a distance that today's Emperor Guangzhao looked preoccupied, and hurriedly smiled and walked forward to bow to him.
Seeing that Xizhen was coming, Emperor Guangzhao's brows relaxed, and listening to her touch the qin, he could always get a short period of peace and happiness.
After finishing the song, seeing that Emperor Guangzhao's mood had improved, Xi Zhen asked unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, may I ask if the three weapons have begun to be produced?" ”
"It's already in mass production, Miss Shen."
"That's very good, then the next step is to rectify the military system." Shen Xizhen continued.
"Rectify the military system?" Emperor Guangzhao was slightly surprised, looked at her and asked.
"Well, as the saying goes, only by strengthening the army and enriching the country can the country be invincible, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in our military system."
"Then Miss Shen tell me about it." Emperor Guangzhao was very interested in this topic and immediately shook his spirits.
"The construction of the courtiers is: sending heavy troops to press the territory, building fortresses, building cities, digging cities, and establishing standing armies. Judging from the last war in northern Xinjiang, the number of troops in our border areas is still far from enough, so we should first send a large number of elite troops to the border areas, and then build a strong fortress in the border areas to strengthen the defense capabilities of the border areas. Next, we set up a standing army as a reserve force, which could be prepared at the disposal of the imperial court. Then, we built walls and dug deep into each city to strengthen the city's defenses. ”
After listening to Xizhen, Emperor Guangzhao unconsciously changed his expression.
"How do you build a standing army?" Emperor Guangzhao asked.
He knew the first few things well, but it was the first time he had heard of the question of 'building a standing army,' so he wanted to know it more thoroughly so that he could analyze it accurately.
"The specific approach is to first formulate a relevant conscription policy: families with two or more sons, including men who have not yet started a family but have reached adulthood, are required to send one to join the standing army and receive professional military training, and at the same time, the state should give them certain material rewards, so as to achieve the effect of complementarity between supply and demand. Then, for a period of three years, at the end of the three-year period, those who want to go back can go back, and those who want to stay will have to undergo a series of assessments, and those who can pass the guò will stay, and have the opportunity to continue to be promoted. Xizhen said.
