- The second prince walked under the apricot tree, raised his hand and stretched out his finger to touch an apricot blossom between the branches, and on his face that looked poor, a pair of eyes that were so calm that they did not have any temperature slightly focused on the gently trembling stamens among the apricot blossoms, and he was silent for a long time.

Chi Zhong had been standing quietly beside him, but when he saw the prince standing like this for a long time without saying a word, he suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, Weichen will wait for you on the side."

The second prince looked at him sideways when he heard the sound, and doubts appeared in his eyes: "I didn't tell you to go far?"

Chi Zhong bowed down and said sincerely: "Your Highness remembers the deceased, and you have something in your heart, and the pestle of the micro-minister is here, which may hinder it."

"Hehe, when you say that, I see that you stand straight, it's really a bit like a gun from a pestle here, but it doesn't get in my way." The second prince laughed as he spoke, but it seemed that he was not very happy with his smile.

Lowering his hand behind his back, he said again: "Speaking of the word 'remembrance', do the math, Aunt Ye has been gone for almost ten years. Every time I walk to this yard where she once lived, I can't help but think of the care she took for me in the past. Although I was only a five-year-old child at the time, I could not remember much of it, but everything I can remember now is sad because of her passing."

Listening to the noble prince in front of him not shy away from talking about the royal past that he didn't know much about, Chi Zhong didn't know how to speak and what kind of words he was suitable to say with his status as a subordinate. In the end, he could only remain silent and his eyes darkened, to show his regret for the legendary woman who died young.

"Talk to me." The second prince said again in a very light tone.

"Yes." Chi Zhong promised in a deep voice, but this time he reacted quickly.

"Can you not always act like this?" The second prince showed a little helplessness on his face, but he didn't wait for a second answer, he sighed again and said: "Maybe it's because of my appearance that the palace maids and attendants of the entire Huayang Palace have become so cautious and submissive."

"I'm afraid of poor service. It is inappropriate to provoke me, and it will attract the wrath of the emperor." When the second prince said this, his eyes fixed on Chi Chong, "But you are what I asked for from Uncle Li, how did you become like those palace people so quickly?" In fact, how I hope that you and I can become good friends like my father and Uncle Li."

After he said this. Chi Chong's eyes were slightly surprised. Immediately, he said briefly: "Weichen doesn't dare to overstep."

"Well, it's very abrupt to say this to you all of a sudden. But what I say today is from my heart, and my will will always remain." As soon as he finished speaking, the second prince turned to stare at the apricot blossom branch again, and went away in a daze for some reason.

Chi Zhong was a little confused for a while. His Royal Highness asked him to accompany him to speak. He's not good at it; He asked to go farther away so that His Highness could be left alone. But he seemed a little unhappy.

Chi Zhong was originally one of the Yulin Guards, although most of the people who can enter this kind of guard to be responsible for patrolling the Forbidden Palace are very skilled, but in such a group of people who are not skilled, Chi Zhong does not show any characteristics.

Maybe in some kind of court fight in the future. He would be injured or even killed trying to help a royal nobleman block a knife. But this is the mission of Yulin Weicun zài, to defend loyalty with his life. It is something that every Yu Linwei has carved into the bone marrow, which in the eyes of ordinary people. There may be differences in values, but Chi Chong, like the rest of Yu Linwei, has already identified this belief in living in the world.

It's just that by chance, the established fate line on Chi Chong's body suddenly changed half a year ago. Half a year ago, in order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and the harvest of agricultural products in the middle of the continent, a troupe sang in the palace, and that night, Chi Chong, who was patrolling the palace, was temporarily leaving the post to go to the convenience, and met the second prince who was about to sneak out of the palace in the clothes of the inner attendant.

Although the second prince has a very high status, when it comes to martial arts, he is not the opponent of any Yu Linwei. The second prince himself also understands this truth, and after being discovered by Chi Chong, he immediately revealed his true identity, but at the same time asked Chi Chong to serve as a temporary personal guard to cover him out of the palace.

Chi Zhong thought that the second prince would go out of the palace as soon as he said, in fact, his patrol guard often encountered another princess in the palace in such a disguise, so Chi Zhong agreed to the request of the second prince, but this time out, it was delayed for half a night. However, although Chi Zhong was anxious, under the guidance of the faithful belief of the waiter, he silently withstood the great crime of leaving his post and not reporting it, and followed the second prince for half a night until he was safely sent back to the palace.

The next day, Chi Chong was really punished for his crimes, but he never said the reason for leaving his post, but when he was about to be punished with a cane in the main law hall, something happened in the law hall that he will never forget.

Half a night away, the second prince, who suffered from the wind and cold the next day, actually went to the law hall and directly told the reason for his late resignation! Subsequently, the second prince, who even had to be supported by a palace maid while standing, did not make a protective move, but directly asked the presiding judge to punish Chi Chong for more than half of his crimes, which really frightened the presiding judge, and at the same time frightened Chi Chong.

In the end, the result of the late sentencing, because of the reason of the preservation of the Lord, only punished part of the guilt for unauthorized acts and did not report, and the original sentence of cane was changed from 50 to 20. In addition, Chi Chong's behavior is basically tantamount to violating military discipline and must be removed from the Yulin Guards, and the second prince who was present at the time did not help him.

However, after Chi Chong was removed from the list and returned to the city defense patrol team managed by Li Gai, in less than a month, he jumped directly to become the personal guard of the second prince. Although there is no rank, there is no right to transfer personnel, but with the glory he has now, maybe rank, privilege or something, it is just something that can be obtained in a flash.

And the transcendent identity of the late weight. [,！ The news flowed into the ears of the presiding judge of the Judicial Hall that day, and it seemed that it was not difficult for him to guess the subtle intentions of a certain nobleman in the palace, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart for the lenient and commuted sentence that day, but without losing the fairness and reason.

Chi Chong didn't think so much, although he also felt that he was suddenly selected by His Royal Highness to become his bodyguard, and it seemed that the relationship with the mutual support of only one night was a little far away, but he was only loyal to the lord and served the lord, and this change in identity and position would not affect his work and the belief in his heart. That's enough.

However, after serving as a guard for the prince who was very favored by the Holy Lord in the palace for a few months, the sick and weak physique of this second highness and the slightly monotonous and cold life on weekdays made Chi Zhong sometimes question the life of the royal family; And the second prince seems to have no waves in the ancient well, and his unscrupulous temperament makes him can't help but show concern for him in a very small time.

This is not an equal emotional exchange that a courtier can have with the lord, but because the hierarchical atmosphere of the lord and the subordinate on the second prince is often faint. It makes Chi Zhong a normal person with thoughts and feelings. For those who take care of and favor themselves, when there is nothing to hinder, they will also put their gratitude in the past.

Available today. When the second prince said in person that he wanted to make friends with him, he suddenly realized the problem of identity level, the kind that was not very firm in his heart. The affection between allegiance and friendship is compulsively put away.

……

After Ligai left, there were only two people left in the tent.

Not far away, the sound of rare swords colliding could be heard. Suddenly slow, suddenly fast, mixed with the roars of the soldiers, which were the sound of the sergeants drilling. No matter when and where, do not slack off on the training of the sergeants. In such an environment, it is naturally not as quiet as the imperial study in the depths of Kyoto City, but Wang Chi's mind is still calm. Thoughts in the brain are not disturbed by noise.

He grew up in the barracks, in a way. This kind of noise seems to him to be almost a kind of country sound. Not only did he not feel irritated when he was in the middle of it, but he also felt comfortable because he was familiar.

Slightly annoyed by what was being discussed. After taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but ask, "Since that old man has prepared medicine for you, why does the wound on your shoulder heal so slowly?" The way you look, even if you don't mention Northern Xinjiang, even if you are asked to go to Qingchuan, I can't bear it......"

On the side of the tent, Lin Shan's gaze turned over, as if he had something to say, but he wanted to say it again and again.

Lin Shan had been helped by the guards to the only recliner in the military tent. Wang Chi couldn't bear to see him haggard, and originally intended to let him go back to his tent to rest after taking care of his shoulder injury. However, Lin Shan asked to stay at this time, because he decided to agree frankly with Wang Chi on one thing, just while he obviously seemed to be in poor shape now.

Wang Chi was still standing in front of the huge map, pacing back and forth, then looked sideways at Lin Shan, and said in a sullen tone: "What's the matter with the old man?" Why do you say that you can just leave, do you still mean to avoid me?"

"No, the pharmacist is really troubled this time." Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, and explained the matter of the Yan family in detail. At this time, he and Wang Chi were in the middle of the military tent, and if he decided, this environment would also be suitable for talking about this matter. At the end of the words, Lin Shan added: "Yan Xingzhi's qualifications and temperament are all good, if he can save his life, it will be of great significance to the Yan family."

When he first learned the truth about the Yan family's strange illness, Wang Chi's mood was also inexplicably surprised. Then digesting the secret in his mind, he suddenly felt a little annoyed. Because Yan Guang has been a doctor in the Taiyi Bureau for decades, as a relict of the former dynasty, he thinks that his preferential treatment of Yan Guang is of the highest level among all Beijing officials, but he didn't expect Yan Guang to have such a secret hidden from him for so long.

There are three major holidays every year, winter and summer, and a long vacation to return to my hometown to recuperate, and the royal ceremony twice a year...... Although he was selfish in treating Yan Guang so favorably, he only hoped that this old doctor, who had a high reputation in the medical field, could lead the Tai Yi Bureau and contribute more to the continuation and healthy growth of the royal heirs, but the hearts of the people are long, and he has been giving Yan Guang preferential treatment for so many years, and he also has a trace of affection.

However, he quickly turned around and figured it out. Regarding the strange family disease of the Yan family, although it is not contagious, the onset is very hidden, and it is only transmitted between the Yan family who have a direct blood relationship, but if this kind of thing spreads, it will be a great disturbance to the Yan family. If this matter spreads wantonly among idlers, I wonder what kind of treacherous conclusion it will come to in the end? This is not good for Yan Guang and will indirectly affect his status in the Taiyi Bureau.

The Yan family's family heirloom will not interfere with any normal work of the Taiyi Bureau, but these gossips will.

Therefore, since ancient times, private affairs have been unfair, and family affairs have not been passed on. The Yan family's strange illness is, in the final analysis, a private matter of their family, and Yan Guang avoids it, and it is not a bully.

On the contrary, Yan Guang has worked in the Taiyi Bureau for many years, and his contributions have had a positive impact on the improvement of the ability of the imperial doctor. Let's just say that among the military doctors, there are also many students he brought out. Most of the medicinal scriptures and medical scriptures written by the Yan family are openly taught, which also has far-reaching significance for the quality of people's livelihood in Nanzhao. In the face of this meritorious veteran, perhaps the monetary gifts no longer match his merits, if he can save the only heir of their family, what does it matter if he uses a little power of the country?

Think about it. Wang Chi's uncertain face finally calmed down. Only then did he realize that there was a hint of melancholy in Lin Shan's gaze looking at him.

After a little thought, Wang Chi knew what he was worried about. But he smiled indifferently and said, "I was indeed a little annoyed when I learned about this just now, but think about it from another angle. This is the Yan family's private matter, even if he hides it from me. I don't blame him either."

Hearing this, Lin Shan's expression was sure enough. [,！ Relax a little.

But at this moment, Wang Chi, who was slightly speechless, followed and said a little anxiously: "I learned about the Yan family today, and I suddenly had a doubt. Why, on many things, seems like I'm always the last one to know? Could it be that if you tell me about these things in advance, something will go wrong?"

Listened to Wang Chi's words that seemed to be angry. Lin Shan couldn't help laughing, and then he put his feelings away and said solemnly: "These are all trivial matters, as the eldest brother is the lord of a country, these trivial things don't need to be seen in every detail."

Lin Shan's words made Wang Chi's thoughts suddenly turn to another angle, his face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Lin Shan silently for a moment before he spoke: "You don't go to rest, insist on staying here, is there something important to say?"

Lin Shan took a deep breath and was about to stand up.

Wang Chi immediately said, "It's okay, if you have something to say, just sit and say it."

Lin Shan sat back in the recliner as he said, but at this time, he did not relax his body as he did just now, but sat upright, and his expression was also stern. After being silent for a moment, smoothing out the many clues in his mind, he slowly spoke: "Big brother, what I want to say is actually what you have been asking me for the past few days."

Wang Chi's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step closer, and said with some expectation in his eyes: "You are finally willing to agree?"

Lin Shan shook his head, sneered slightly, and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, this is a fact, and now I will never be able to live up to my eldest brother's expectations. The Northern Plains War, I really can't afford to participate. It's not that I'm afraid of death and refuse, but as my eldest brother just said, I don't want your expectations, so you follow me to the funeral so lightly."

Wang Chi looked at Lin Shan in silence and fell into some kind of contemplation.

Lin Shan opened a hand that was on his knee, his eyes fell on the palm of his hand that had faded a layer of blood, and he continued slowly: "Not only for physical reasons, but the most important thing is that I am not a person who is good at controlling the battlefield as you wish. Speaking of the past few surprise attack tactics in the northern Xinjiang, it was also the plan of Brother Chenggang, I just acted according to what he said, and my memory was better than that of ordinary people, so that I could complete the task entrusted by him."

As soon as Lin Shan's words fell, this time it was Wang Chi's turn to shake his head, he frowned and said, "How do you tell me to believe what you say now?" The Northern Region Strategy was not written by Ruan Chenggang alone, is there still less weight for your participation? If this matter is made public in the army, and all the soldiers who have been with you discuss it, the result will be that there will be more people who do not believe it."

As soon as Wang Chi's words came out, Lin Shan was a little anxious when he heard this, and a few wisps of blood suddenly appeared on his pale face, which looked a little dazzling.

"Big brother!" Lin Shan Huo Ran got up, and the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, "I didn't make a fool of myself, writing strategic deployment and actual control, the difference between the two is not known to others, can't you understand?" I did help Brother Chenggang solve a lot of problems, but those are just fixed problems, how can the changes in the battlefield be written with a pen."

At this point, he turned his face slightly away and looked away from Wang Chi's eyes, and then continued: "In this life, I just want to do what I have learned to transform the river in the Daqingchuan River basin into what it is ideal. Now that I say it so bluntly, I hope that big brother you don't annoy me, participating in the battle of conquering the west, my original intention is actually this."

Listening to Lin Shan's words here, Wang Chi's feelings were obviously chaotic for a moment, and the sound of breathing gradually became thicker.

And just when he was stunned and didn't know what to say, he saw the green shadow in front of him flicker, and Lin Shan suddenly bowed in front of him: "Please also ask Your Majesty to fulfill it."

Seeing this, Wang Chi unconsciously took half a step back. It's not that he can't bear this gift, it's that he still doesn't want to answer what Lin Shan wants him to do.

Just when the beliefs of the two brothers, close friends, and monarchs and ministers in the camp tent were contradictory and conflicting, and they were about to reach a situation where they could not end, the wind curtain of the camp tent was suddenly lifted from outside, and a middle-aged man in tiger head and black armor strode in. But this man has taken a step forward. As soon as he saw the scene in the camp tent, he was stunned at the door, and he didn't care that the heavy saber hanging on his waist smashed on his armor with a leather sheath and made a heavy metal sound.

There is only one general who can stab into the monarch's tent without passing through the communication. This general, who strides from the outside, is the one who has been inseparable from Wang Chi and has been a shadow guard for more than ten years. A few years ago, he was transferred to the position of Grand Commander of the Kyoto Garrison. This time, he was in command of the general Li Gai who went to the west.

Li Gai stood at the door and was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" Say it. He strode closer, put the helmet in his hand on the table, and was about to help Lin Shan, who was worshipping deeply, but he didn't expect Lin Shan's body to sink like a stone. I don't want to get up at all.

Li Gai had to look at Wang Chi again.

Wang Chi still didn't speak, and suddenly flicked his sleeves. turned around directly, as if he didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, but in fact, he was quite conflicted in his heart.

Seeing this situation, Li Gai hesitated at first. Then he continued to pull Lin Shan's arm, and at the same time persuaded: "Third brother, why are you so troubled. Tell me what you have to say."

Li Gai believes that with the friendship of the three of them for more than ten years. If no outsiders were present, Wang Chi would never suppress Lin Shan in this kind of false courtesy, so he would unilaterally help Lin Shan before asking the reason for the matter.

The fact is also the same, before Li Gai wanted to help Lin Shan get up in front of Wang Chi, Wang Chi didn't react, he was tolerating. At this time, although he turned his face away and pretended to look at the map, in fact, his attitude towards the two people behind him was still the same. In other words, he actually has a glimmer of hope that Lin Shan can listen to Li Gai's persuasion. If his friend keeps kneeling like this, he actually feels the pressure, and he wants to have a seizure but can't find an exit, this feeling makes him upset.

However, Li Gai was ready to pull Lin Shan's up for the second time, but .[,! It still ended in failure, and he also felt that Lin Shan's body was heavier. It wasn't until he saw a trail of blood dripping from the back of his pale hand pressed on the ground that he realized that something was wrong, and reached out to wrap his hand around Lin Shan's shoulder, while shouting, "Doctor!"

……

When Lin Shan once again unwrapped the bandage on his shoulder by the military doctor and cleaned and bandaged the wound again, he had been dragged back to his barracks by Li Gai quite rudely, and lay flat on the bed.

After eating in the morning, Wu Zecai, the former imperial doctor who had just resigned, walked out less than thirty miles before he was chased back by two sentinels sent by Li Gai. Wu Ze originally had an agreement with Lin Shan, and when he joined the army with Li Gai, he resigned, and did not participate in the war to the west. However, after the convergence of the two armies, the actual situation was always out of plan, and today was the fourth time that Wu Xue was chased back by Li Gai's faction.

Although Wu Ze's medical skills are indeed a little more refined than ordinary military doctors, if the patient he is facing is Lin Shan's condition, then his superior medical skills will not create any new curative effects. Lin Shan's physique has some abnormal changes, regardless of external injury and internal administration, the medicine left by Liao Shi is used, Wu Zehui does not come back to personally diagnose the pulse, and the difference in treatment is almost negligible. But Li Gai still insisted on doing this, just for a peace of mind, but it was quite able to make Wu Xue toss back and forth.

There are some things that are not suitable for Wang Chi to do directly, and they are on Li Gai's hands, but there is no taboo.

The large amount of blood loss made Lin Shan's spirit depressed a lot, and after changing the wound medicine, he sometimes fell asleep in a daze and sometimes awake. It wasn't until Wu Ze walked in with a bowl of boiled decoction that he sat up with a strong spirit, took the medicine bowl and drank it slowly.

The medicine was boiled by a fierce fire, and it was just poured out of the medicine jar, and it was as hot as oil. I have to say that the men in the army have a certain radical character, but it must be admitted that their work efficiency is still very high. As soon as the boys in the Huotou Army saw that it was the medicinal materials that Wu Zefen weighed, they knew who was using the medicine, and the three of them took turns holding the bellows to greet the chopping wood, and boiled three cans of water in one hour and boiled the decoction out.

This bowl of soup medicine is mainly nourishing, and there are some dredging effects, and that's all Wu Ze can do.

Seeing that Lin Shan drank a small mouthful of the decoction, he put down the bowl because it was too hot, so Wu Ze moved the medicine bowl to his hand, pinched the spoon and slowly stirred it to cool.

I lay down for more than an hour, and although I didn't move, a layer of fine sweat naturally oozed from my forehead. Lin Shan raised his sleeve and wiped the sticky corners of his forehead, this scene fell in Wu Ze's eyes, and he suddenly said: "You, don't think that you can't feel pain when you stay at night. Not nonsense. The body is the most honest, and when your wound becomes malignant and you faint with a high fever, even the emergency medicine left by the old pharmacist will not save you."

Lin Shan smiled indifferently and said softly: "Originally, it was just a small injury, but I didn't expect it to delay for so long and not heal. I don't know if I'm overestimating myself. Or something is careless."

"Both." Wu Xue stroked his sparse beard, and paused slightly as he pinched the porcelain spoon in his other hand to stir the medicinal juice, and then he continued: "Don't worry about the martial arts tomorrow. I've already told them both that you'll have to rest tomorrow."

When Lin Shan heard this, his face suddenly turned cold. He said solemnly: "Mr. Wu, you are interfering with military affairs!"

"Think like that. Annoyed with me, I'll still say. What's more, as early as the first day I came here with the army, those two were asking me that night, and I didn't say until now. It's not easy for me, after all, I don't want to be called back for a fifth, sixth, more time. Can you give people peace of mind? At least let me go a little farther." Wu Ze was not moved by Lin Shan's anger in the slightest, and chattered for a while. He picked up the cooled decoction and handed it over: "Okay, drink the medicine."

Lin Shan sighed deeply, knowing that he was indeed causing trouble to others, so he didn't blame anything, so he took the medicine bowl and drank it all in three or two sips.

Seeing Lin Shan put down the empty medicine bowl, Wu Xue took out the pulse pillow he carried with him and carefully percussed Lin Shan. After making sure that the pulse was normal, he took the pulse pillow, hesitated for a moment, and finally said again: "The wound has just grown some new muscle, and it is torn open again, and the wound is most likely to undergo malignant transformation in this condition. If that happens, don't say I'm cursing you to rest forever."

Lin Shan smiled silently and said softly, "Then I'll listen to Mr. Wu's medical advice." He was still annoyed with Wu Xue just now, and the smile on his face at this moment couldn't help but feel a little far-fetched.

Wu Xue didn't bother to care about him anymore, so he took the bowl and walked out.

As soon as he reached the door, he met two people walking in front of him, and he hurriedly bowed down and waved his hands, holding a bowl in his hand.

"Physician Wu doesn't have to be formal." Wang Chi, who walked in with Li Gai, held a hand, and when Wu Ze stood up straight, he asked again: "How is Lin Senjun's physical condition now?"

"Returning to His Majesty, at present, Lord Lin's injuries are quite stable, and there is no fever in his body, but the loss of qi and blood is serious, and this must be recuperated." Wu Xue said this, paused slightly, glanced behind his back, and then continued: "Because of that matter, Lord Lin is angry now, it is better for the grass people to leave as soon as possible, so as not to make people look upset, and please forgive the grass people for the sin of negligence."

"Doctor Wu is serious, what are you guilty of?" After making sure that Lin Shan's injuries were fine, Wang Chi's mind relaxed. Hearing Wu Ze talk about Lin Shan's annoyance, Wang Chi showed a smile instead, raised his hand and said, "Doctor Wu is running back and forth, presumably he is also extremely tired, so let's step back and rest."

Although Wu Ze quit the Taiyi Bureau three years ago, the crime of being expelled by the Taiyi Bureau was actually a fictitious crime made for expediency, and in the final analysis, he was somewhat burdened by Lin Shan. So listening to him muttering a few words of complaining, Wang Chi didn't care, but felt that this person was in his early forties, but he was really funny, and he still looked like he was still in the Imperial Medical Bureau. [,！ When that, respectfully call a doctor.

Wu Ze crossed his hands and said goodbye, and Wang Chi and Li Gai walked into the house one after another.

"Doctor Wu's words, you heard them all, right?" As soon as he walked in, Li Gai's words pointed out a few things very directly: "Tomorrow's military affairs in the martial arts field, I have already arranged to take over the manpower, you don't care. In addition, Jiang Chao will be temporarily transferred back from the third team, we are not here, only that kid dares to look at you against your will."

Lin Shan's bloodless lips moved, and he stopped talking.

Wang Chi patted Li Gai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Ah Li's work is still as direct and decisive as before, and it is much easier to worry than someone who has a lot of worries."

"Haha." Li Gailang smiled, looked at Wang Chi and said, "Big brother, I don't know if you are praising me, or are you trying to hurt me by turning around?"

Lin Shan was already silent and twisted his face to the side.

"You just think I'm praising you." Wang Chi smiled and said, "If I want to hurt you, I can't admit it so directly."

Li Gai said helplessly: "You have said it to this point, and there is not much difference between it and Ming Yan harming me."

Wang Chi smiled, pressed the hand on Li Gai's shoulder and patted it lightly twice, and then let go. He didn't continue his topic, but turned his gaze to Lin Shan, gradually smiled and said calmly, "Third brother."

Lin Shan turned his face at this time.

"I can agree to the things in the Northern Regions that you and I have discussed before. But in exchange, I have a request." When Wang Chi said this, his words paused slightly. This was his biggest concession, so he didn't want this matter to change in the slightest, and without waiting for Lin Shan to speak, he immediately said the request: "If you refuse to participate in the Northern Expedition, I want you to make a list. Do it for you."

Lin Shan was stunned when he heard this. He was going to pass the buck. Because he has not been in the army for a long time, he does not know enough about the current situation in the army, which old generals have been transferred, and which rookies have been added. Wang Chi asked him to choose soldiers and recommend generals, which was very inappropriate. And if he agrees, it will be from this day onwards. He has to spend a lot of energy in the army to judge people and assess the situation, and indirectly wants him to participate in the Northern Region strategy.

However, the words of rejection came to the lips. Soon he swallowed it back again.

Because he also knows in his heart that Wang Chi has been in charge of the imperial power for thirteen years, and no matter how much he thinks about Jinlan's friendship now, the emperor's heart has been cultivated. Before, he turned around resolutely in the big tent of the Chinese army, which has already explained some problems. At this time, Wang Chi was willing to retreat half a step, which was already a move to discount gold. Even if you want to pass the buck, you shouldn't choose this moment.

Lin Shan's just quite puzzling. Why is Wang Chi so persistent in the matter of the Northern Region strategy that he must participate in it?

Is there no one in the army who can be trusted? Or is there a problem in the coordination link in the military that cannot be alleviated in a short period of time?

Lin Shan temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded at Wang Chi's request, and said, "Big brother, I haven't been involved in military affairs for a long time, and I need time to raise this matter."

"It's good that you don't say no more." Wang Chi spread his hands and said slowly: "After the Qingchuan matter is over, or you are ready to act now, I can first hand over the imperial envoy and the military talisman to you to use, and the twenty-first young envoy is at your disposal."

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Shan's face.

After the change of dynasty, Emperor Wang Chi of Nanzhao rebuilt and compiled the sequence of the Sanzhou Army, the original Zhongzhou Wei Wang Army, the Dongzhou Wei Navy, and the Wang Family Army, all of which were cut into three parts, and then divided into equal combinations. It seems that it is still using the old routine of the previous dynasty, but Wang Chi knows that there are about sixty percent of the soldiers of the former dynasty in the new Sanzhou army, and he is worried that he will not be able to completely tame it in a short time, so he has set up a major envoy of the imperial army in the Sanzhou army to carry out the duty of monitoring.

However, in order to stabilize the army's heart and not make people feel too thorny in the back, these seven young envoys have no right to participate in military affairs, only the power to write records, which is somewhat similar to the Taishi Ling in the side hall of the court meeting.

Every word and deed of the emperor in the court was recorded, and the behavior of the generals in the army was also the same. The only difference is that the records of the historians of the imperial capital can only be viewed by the next generation of monarchs, and cannot be viewed by the reigning monarchs. In the barracks, the officers and soldiers are not allowed to check the military affairs recorded in the Seven Young History, but this is a part of the report that the monarch in Beijing must observe.

There is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, such a method of supervising the army has not been heard of in previous dynasties, which inevitably doubles the workload of the emperor. However, at the beginning of the founding of the Nanzhao Dynasty, too many of the affairs of the Sheji Dynasty were directly taken over from the previous dynasty, and there were countless messes, and Wang Chi had to use this way to tighten power. All aspects of the dynasty obey the deployment, so that they can quickly turn around the national fortunes that were twisted by the former dynasty.

Although Lin Shan was not sure if this title of young history would be abolished one day in the future, and it was the first time he had heard of the title of "Imperial Envoy Supervising Army", since it was the power to invoke the twenty-one young history of the Sanzhou Army at the same time, it must be the right to supervise the army on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

This is already a leap in the eyes of others. [,！ Rising steadily, with an unusually rapid promotion speed, how could he ask for power again?

"How dare you?" Lin Shan raised his hand and pressed his chest, and quickly buried his hand back in the quilt, then smiled a little far-fetched, and said slowly: "The Imperial Envoy Prison Talisman, if I take it so suddenly, will it disturb the army's heart?" ――
