As soon as the guards heard that they were going to the border passes, they were all elated, and no one had the intention of retreating, compared to being a palace guard, it was a man's ambition and dream to go to the battlefield to show his true colors, kill the enemy, and save military merits.

When a guard is enough to make people envious, it is still not as powerful as the generals who have made great achievements, and how many people can't envy the real achievements.

"It's hard cold at the border, and it's November when you get to the place." Zhang Qi bit the dead branch that had lost its leaves, and asked Meng Zhou in a daze.

All the guards withdrew from Shangjing and returned to Xiaocang Mountain to standby, seeing that one day they were going to leave from the mountain, and their hearts were more excited than melancholy.

"And me." Meng Zhou turned around and rolled his eyes, "I haven't seen you prepare a few thick cotton clothes." ”

"Where do you put that much?" Zhang Qi bit the dead branch and made a creaking sound.

"Who do you think we are when we go to the border gate?" Meng Zhou walked over to Zhang Qi and sat down.

"What passerby?" Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows and didn't understand Meng Zhou's words, "We are going to follow the Yiwang, and we have nothing to do with the border guards." ”

"It doesn't matter what you said, can our wish to make meritorious contributions come true?" Meng Zhou wants to see the real battlefield, and someone has to let him go.

"The Winged King said we had to do more than we did in battle." Zhang Qi didn't think so much, "We just need to do our part." ”

"How many boys' dreams have made contributions." Meng Zhou was extremely emotional. "Now Zheng Ke may not be able to use the things in the military book to show his talents."

"It depends on the situation." Zhang Qi felt that it was a bit difficult to show his talents, there were many kinds of talents in the army, how could it really be Zheng Cao, who had just come into contact with the art of war.

"You said if we had military merit. Is there a chance to be made a general? Meng Zhou couldn't help but imagine a bright future.

"You're thinking too much." Zhang Qi spit out the dead branches and dodged with his arms.

"Think about what's wrong." Meng Zhou muttered, "It's not a crime." ”

"If you think too much about things that don't exist in zài, it becomes wishful thinking." Zhang Qi poured Meng Zhou's cold water, "What I want to do is the current thing, don't be distracted by the ethereal thing." ”

"Cut, I don't need you to preach, I understand." Meng Zhou was nervous, so he said this, and was interrupted by Zhang Qi for no reason. The good mood suddenly dissipated, and he glared at Zhang Qi.

"Do you think we are the people of the Wing King or the people of the Emperor?" Meng Zhou suddenly remembered the words he had inferred in the past.

"Winged King." Zhang Qi replied casually.

As soon as Meng Zhou heard it, he knew that Zhang Qi didn't understand what he meant, so he said: "That's not what I said, we didn't speculate that there was an emperor standing behind the Wing King. It is to have the ability to choose a personal guard at any cost. ”

"Now that the emperor is in a big business, the Wing King can be said to have no strong backer, is there a discrepancy in our original guess?" How could Meng Zhou not see where the Wing King was capable of.

"The Winged King now has more authority than anyone else." Zhang Qi frowned slightly, "In the end, it's the same as anyone." There is an official position that eats and eats steadily. What else is there to pick. ”

"I'm not talking about this, you think the forbidden army belongs to the emperor, should our forbidden army belong to the emperor, so what is the wing king?" Meng Zhou has always wondered what to do.

"The Wing King said that we are no longer in the forbidden army, and we have nothing to do with it, and the day we wore the guard waist card has completely changed." Zhang Qi didn't worry about who was the master like Meng Zhou, and it would not be wrong to follow the Wing King in his eyes.

"Besides, everyone knows that the Wing King has a great relationship with the emperor, so why do you use it." Zhang Qi closed his eyes and didn't care about Meng Zhou's convulsions from time to time.

"The Wing King is really weird!" Meng Zhoufei has a prejudice against the Wing King. In the previous short time together, I could feel the difference between the Wing King and others, could it be that I thought too much?

"Are you nervous?" Zhang Qi suddenly discovered the crux of Meng Zhou's words.

"Aren't you?" Meng Zhou asked rhetorically. "Everyone also rarely leaves Beijing, this time we have to go to a far away border pass, plus the non-touristy nature, and take on a heavy responsibility, more or less a little."

"It's useless to be nervous." Zhang Qi was not nervous at first, but as soon as Meng Zhou said it, he couldn't control it, and secretly scolded that he was really a spirit, and he was infected by Meng Zhou.

"It feels good to say it." Meng Zhou was nervous but not afraid, a man bleeding a little was nothing.

"The master is ready." Hongming and Hongrui have different division of labor, and they come back to Ming after finishing their work.

"Tonight, the grain and grass will be safely delivered to the Zhuangzi outside Beijing, and tomorrow it will be dawn and set off in batches." Hongming manages the transportation of grain, grass, salutes and other things.

"Xu Gongzi has been notified that he will send the Xu family's grain cart items for replacement in a moment." Hongrui said, "Gongzi Xu said that he was waiting for his master at the border pass, and Gongzi Yan also said that he would do his best. ”

"Hmm." Xi Chao pinched his slightly sleepy eyebrows and asked about the two greens.

"It's almost." Hongrui replied, "There are two Xu Yan who have improved their efficiency a lot, and the master can rest assured that when the master arrives at the border, the matter should be done." ”

"West Hammer Border Pass Terrain." Xi tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, "Find someone who is familiar with the terrain and take our people to explore the road first." ”

"This, let the green sound pay attention to what they should find." Hongrui made a note of this and sent the news later.

"Do you need to notify the eighteen guards who are in the army?" Hongming asked about the people who had been planted in the army earlier.

"No, so as not to startle the snake, I'll talk about it later." It is inconvenient to transmit news for a long time, and the tide is not in a hurry, and there is still time.

"Where's the guard?" Definitely not in the army, Hongrui couldn't help frowning.

"No large Zhuangzi are allowed near the border gates." Hongming was also worried, 4,000 people is not a small number, and the place to hide must be large, which is not enough to eat.

"Border conscription." Xi Chao had already planned, "Let them go in batches, starting with the lower-level soldiers." ”

"It's also like the eighteen guards back then!" Hongrui couldn't help but be surprised, "In this way, the problem of food and housing for personnel has been solved, but how many years do you have to start from the bottom?" "In case someone drags you into battle. Most inexperienced people have to suffer, their heads are really tied to the waist of their trousers, once there is a loss of the master's hard work in vain!

"That's what you need to do if you want to make a difference." Fighting on the battlefield and walking on the brink of death can stimulate potential even more. Only those who have experienced the skills cultivated in the Shura field can be worthy of the elite division, and the battlefield is the sword stone of the personal guard, the place where the blade is opened.

"It's easy to get more news in the army." Hong Ming heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, "The soldiers at the bottom are the core of the entire army, and as long as they have the ability, they can get the corresponding official positions." ”

"The master wants to use the forbidden army?" Hongrui was suddenly opened by Hongming's mouth, and there was still nothing unclear.

"A dull weapon should be sharpened." The Xi Dynasty wants to let the forbidden army regain its former light and become invincible.

"Master, the forbidden army is difficult to control. I am afraid of being disrespectful to my master. "Hongrui is afraid that the forbidden army will take advantage of the personal interests to report the bad master.

"It depends." The Xi Dynasty did not see the forbidden army, and would not have preconceived judgments, which would be unfair to everyone.

Shiochao leaves tonight. Tomorrow morning, he will be absent again, and at the request of Mo Jinming, he will enter the palace in advance to accompany him for dinner.

Xi Chao was about to leave, Mu Jinming took Xi Chao's hand and tightened it tightly. In the end, I want to watch Xichao leave and go to the battlefield with my own eyes. With a heavy heart, I couldn't say anything to save it.

"I'll come back safely." Xi Chao gave Mu Jinming a parting hug, her brother, her only relative.

"I'll wait for you." Mu Jinming hugged Xi Chao's thin body, sore and swollen throughout his chest, his eyes were red, "I can't send you away." "No matter how good the palace is, it is rare to step out as an emperor.

"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end." Xi Chao knew that Mu Jinming was sentimental, and he was not so often.

"Don't keep me waiting too long." Mu Jinming's voice was low and helpless, "The palace is too big and quiet, don't leave me alone." ”

"No, it won't. I promised you, it's a pact between the two of us. "The tide is slightly sour between the noses. The dark pupils were filled with water.

"Don't break your word." It is hard for Mu Jinming to imagine that there will be such a day when he will personally send the Xi Dynasty into the battlefield, will his father blame himself, the Xi Dynasty always makes decisions not for himself but for the entire royal family.

"Never break your word." The Shiojo made a promise.

"Yes, I believe it." Mu Jinming responded lightly.

"It's time for me to go." Xi Chao let go of his arms and kissed Mu Jinming's forehead, which was originally an encouragement from the elders to the juniors, and it was used here to calm Mu Jinming's heart.

Mu Jinming smiled and returned with courtesy, "Be careful on the road." ”

"Take care." Xi Chao seriously engraved Mu Jinming's face in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, and both of them grew up.

"Take care." Mu Jinming let go of the hand that was caressing Xi Chao and watched her leave.

In the early dynasty, the absent courtiers swallowed their anger and did not say a word, and the court meeting in the recent days was particularly deserted, and there was a gloomy atmosphere around them.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the winged king had not been to the court for half a month, and the courtiers wondered where the winged king had gone at this moment, and some officials deliberately went to the Ministry of Household and Industry to inquire about the news, but the officials of the two ministries sealed their mouths very tightly, and unanimously said that they did not know, which caused many suspicions.

The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry really do not know anything about the real situation, and there is no need for the officials to explain what they are doing.

At this tight pass, bad news came from the border pass, the general He Min vomited blood and fainted on the spot due to several defeats, and the army was in chaos.

The already restless court added another heavy stroke, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury, the ministers are all in chaos, and it is unknown when the border guards will wake up from a coma, how can no general order the soldiers, and the patriotic army is really that strong? So much so that there are no records.

"Enough!" Mu Jinming stopped the noisy and chaotic discussions of the officials below.

"Who wants to go to the border to become a general?" Mu Jinming pointed out the existing problems without delay.

As soon as the voice fell, the court was silent, no one dared to come forward, the general said well, no one could hold the military power, if it was placed before, it would be a fight to break the bloodstream, now hehe, go to the border pass to get a bad life, even if you are lucky enough to survive and defeat the defense of the country, who will bear the responsibility for the loss of the border pass, and you can't get rid of a dead word as well as not, no one wants to be stupid to pick up this hot potato.

"The loss at the border pass is not small, and I am determined to send 10,000 forbidden troops to go with grain and grass." Mu Jin knew that this would be the result early in the morning, and the courtiers couldn't shrink into the cracks of the ground one by one, for fear of getting into this layer of trouble.

"Your Majesty. Who is in charge of the forbidden army? "I don't care if the officials of the forbidden army are transferred or not, what they care about is the fat of the forbidden army.

The forbidden army belongs to the emperor's personal guard, and if he can take over even part of the forbidden army, the strength of the army will always fascinate some people.

The forbidden army said that it was to support the border pass. At that time, it will not be a matter of a word from the commander, and who can know if the emperor is far away.

Even if the city is broken, it is not a problem to escort a person back safely with the ability of the forbidden army, as for the crime of dereliction of duty, can the emperor really be willing to take the forbidden army who has worked hard all the way to open the knife?

The eldest prince's faction immediately started the idea of banning the army, and with these people in hand, it is equivalent to choking the emperor's vital point, and he can't fight against the forbidden army and fight with his own people. In the end, it was not the emperor's troops that were damaged, and it didn't take a single soldier to reveal the emperor's last hole card, which was enough for the prince to turn the tables.

On the bright side, if you can win a big victory, it will be fine. During this period, Xiaolu single-handedly gathered the prestige and people's hearts, that is, he fished the fragrant meat of the forbidden army, and won the support of the border guards, and it was just around the corner to take back the throne that belonged to the eldest prince. It's beautiful just to think about.

The officials of the Great Prince's faction played Xiao Jiujiu. Passing glances back and forth between each other, there is no time to fight for when.

"Which one does the emperor want to lead the troops?" The official issued a list of advice, "According to the opinion of the minister, a person of high moral and respected virtue was elected to accompany the army, first, to stabilize the king's heart, and second, to show the emperor's grace and boost morale."

"Oh?" Mu Jinming watched the officials sing coldly, "Do you have a person recommended by the Qings?" ”

"The minister elects the eldest prince." The official bluntly said, "The status of the eldest prince as a prince is enough, and the eldest prince can only be guaranteed after the army sits in battle." ”

The high-sounding words are slipping and slipping, and they are not afraid of the wind and flashing their tongues. Mu Jinming sneered, "The border pass is not as good as going to Beijing." A life is not guaranteed, don't be reckless, just have a heart. ”

Mu Zhao had to stand up and express his stance at this time, he also knew that the officials of his faction were planning for themselves, this matter was promising, even if he had to face bloody killings, as long as he could achieve his goal, what would it matter if he gambled on a game.

"The minister is willing to serve the emperor, and as a descendant of the royal family, he should be loyal to the country." Mu Zhao's righteous and awe-inspiring words were deafening, and all the officials were amazed at the great prince's courage.

"The royal family has always had a thin heir, and I am reluctant to let the royal brother go on an adventure, in case something happens, how do you tell me to explain to my deceased father." Mu Jinming's words are affectionate and sincere, showing the harmony and friendship between brothers.

Mu Zhao, who listened to the ear, sneered secretly, if his father really loves himself, how can he not even have the title of a prince, Mu Jinming's play is more fake and how fake, when he is a fool, the great opportunity is close at hand, just a few high-sounding words to give up, no way, even if he can't get benefits, he is willing to fill in the blockage for Mu Jinming, let him sit and lie in Beijing, and always be alert to the situation of worrying about his life.

"As a prince, the country is in danger, and it is the responsibility of the minister at present. The father and emperor will also be pleased if he has a spirit in heaven. "Mu Jinming can lift the emperor himself, depending on whose level is higher, Mu Zhao secretly mocked.

The officials of the eldest prince's faction have come to admonish, saying that the great prince's faction is sincere and touching, and the country has this prince is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the society, and a lot of good words are scattered outside, which is intended to promote the situation and promote the eldest prince to lead the troops to the side.

Mu Jinming watched coldly as the people on both sides sang and quoted scriptures, Mu Zhao was bold enough not to be afraid of going and not returning, the forbidden army seemed to be a piece of fat, it depended on the method of eating, Mu Zhao didn't really want to bite into it, he was not afraid that the eating appearance would be too ugly.

Mu Jinming can use the forbidden army to kill Mu Zhao on the way to the border pass, and put the blame on the head of Wei Guo, where did Mu Zhao get the courage to believe in himself and know that he can't do it, and he has the courage to compete for the position of general without fear?

If it weren't for the slight risk of killing Mu Zhao, he would really be willing to Mu Zhao go to the border pass, so that he would get rid of the big trouble in his heart without knowing it, how convenient it was.

"Who else can be appointed besides the Great Prince?" Mu Jinming didn't care about the active big prince faction, and continued to pretend to choose people.

The courtiers were not happy to run, there was a sharp sword hanging above their heads, and it was unknown when it would fall, who dared to joke with their own lives, and some officials directly shook their heads when they saw this and said that they were powerless.

The civil officials put out the leaders, and it is clear that the civil officials are at a disadvantage on the battlefield, and the border passes are heavy, and the civil officials go to join in the fun, I don't know if the civil and military officials look at each other with their right eyes, and the big bosses who go to the border passes in vain are not willing to be criticized by the civil officials, and if they don't cut it directly, it is already a great face for the emperor.

The civil officials collectively expressed their attitude, and the military attache hurriedly expressed his attitude when he couldn't pretend to be upset, so as to avoid the emperor's discouragement and arrest the military attache as a strong man, and wait for the game to be over.
