Chapter 0222: Three Thousand Iron Armor
Allando's news appeared again and again, Zhang Han was already a little anxious, he felt that Chen Mu should not break away from the Tang Clan's gate valve at this time. But he didn't say anything, just followed Chen Mugan with all his heart. And according to Chen Mu's request, he sent scouts to find out Alando's true strength now.
Since King Mu announced the founding of the country, Zhang Han often did not return home, and it is said that he trained in the army all day. All kinds of arrays need to be trained to perfection. Always be ready for war.
Early in the morning of this day, Chen Mugang came to the study and was about to sign a series of documents on the founding of the country, when Xu Feige walked in.
"Muwang Chitose, Ju Peng wrote a letter to Han Jianniang, have you seen it?" Xu Feige took out the letter and presented it with both hands: "The letter was detained by General Zhang Han, and let the lowly bring it to ask your opinion." ”
Chen Mu hesitated for a moment before reaching out to answer the letter.
When I opened the letter, it was indeed a love letter, written very sensually, and a poem was written at the end.
Chen Mu smiled secretly in his heart, but his face remained indifferent: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to deal with this matter." You go find a new envelope, seal it and give it to Han Jianniang, and say I haven't read this letter. But you have to tell her that I am aware of the existence of this letter and remind her to be cautious in what she does. ”
"Whoa!"
Xu Feige went down.
Soon after, Chen Xiaohuan, the life secretary, walked in wearing an official uniform.
Xiaohuan didn't wear official uniforms before, she thought it was wide and big, and it didn't look good at all. But now is different from the past, Xiaohuan feels that this secretary Lang is the king's close friend and should play an exemplary role.
Xiaohuan said happily, we used to be a maid in the general's mansion, but now it is different, it is the service of the king's side. At the very least, it's an eight-rank official. If this is according to the rules of the palace, we are also a palace man now, and we have to sleep and give birth to a baby. This is duty, and it is not the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks.
Obviously, this was said to Hanxiang.
After hearing this, Hanxiang was ashamed and annoyed, and her pretty face turned red.
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as Xiaohuan walked in, he knelt on the ground, raised his hands, began to kowtow, stood up, knelt again, kowtowed again, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.
"Misworded." Chen Mu corrected: "Only the emperor can be called Your Majesty. ”
"Xiaohuan thinks that you are the emperor." Xiaohuan knelt on the ground and said with a grin.
"You don't talk to me poorly."
Chen Mu knew that Xiaohuan was joking, living together every day, and actually made such a big gift.
Even if he is really the emperor, there is no need to be so cumbersome.
Xiaohuan grinned and stood up: "His Royal Highness, I plan to expel Ruyu. ”
"Why?"
"She stole money again, and she stole a silver ingot. But this time I didn't punish her directly, I wanted to see what she was doing stealing money. And guess what she did? Xiaohuan said mysteriously.
"I can't guess." Chen Mu shook his head.
"Such a child, who can't even write, actually went to the post post silver ingot. As a result, because she didn't know the address, the post station didn't give her the mail, so she came back crying. But she still didn't give up, hid the silver ingot, and asked if anyone knew about Huining River Baozi Village when she saw people. There are people in Huining who know that it is Huizhou, but no one has heard of Hebaozi Village. ”
Chen Mu's heart suddenly sank, frowned and asked, "Could it be that there are any relatives of hers there?" ”
Xiaohuan shook his head: "I think so too." But what relatives can she have, she was sold by her parents. At the moment of selling his sons and daughters, he had already broken off his righteousness. ”
Chen Mu said in a gentle tone: "Xiaohuan, if she really stole money for her family, I don't think it's better to punish her." How touching it is that such a young child is sold by his parents, but he can still take the risk of stealing money to mail it to his parents. Although his behavior is not advisable, his heart can be learned, his feelings are pitiful, and he can be forgiven. Have you ever thought about how she would treat you in the future if she treated you as a relative? Be kind to her, and there will be good rewards. ”
Cao Su may have gotten some news, and he even came to congratulate Chen Mu and shouted that King Bian Mu was a thousand years old.
Although the title of "King of Border Shepherd" is a little ugly, Chen Mu will not turn his face with others because of this, and he will also feast Cao Su.
At this time, Cao Su introduced a person to Chen Mu, who was not an outsider, but Cao Su's younger brother, Cao Sheng.
Cao Sheng and Chen Mu were the same age, but they were born in the same month, and when they asked again, they were still born on the same day.
In the end, Chen Mu is the son, and Cao Sheng is the time, so Chen Mu is a few hours older, and Cao Sheng calls Chen Mu his brother.
Although Cao Sheng is not very old and has no military experience, he is known as Luoyang Xiao Zhuge and is said to be the first person to deduce the sand table of the Liang Dynasty. He was once praised by Prince Zhao Tong. And he is also the king of Luoyang chess. At the age of twelve, he was already famous, and was known by the first emperor and invited to play chess, and at the age of twelve, he actually ate a big dragon of the first emperor alive, and finally defeated the emperor, and became famous since then.
In fact, playing chess with the emperor is a troublesome thing, not everyone dares to win, but the twelve-year-old Cao Sheng killed the emperor without leaving a piece of armor, which made the emperor feel that this son was extraordinary.
"Sending Cao Sheng here is the meaning of the Queen Mother."
It was already late at night, and the others retreated one after another, leaving only Chen Mu, Cao Su, Zhang Han, Cao Sheng, Qin Qingquan, Ma Huan, and Feng Hu in the house.
Xiaohuan and several maidservants had already been arranged by Chen Mu to go outside the door. At this time, Cao Su began to get down to business.
"The Queen Mother hopes that he can become His Highness's right-hand man. Co-management of the Anxi Longwu Army. ”
Chen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "The Longwu Army belongs to the Xuanjia Army sequence, and it is also a forbidden army. I'm not going to use that number. However, I still welcome the arrival of Brother Cao Shengxian. Tomorrow let him come to my house, and I will open a separate house for him. ”
Cao Zhi gently picked the short beard on his upper lip, his beard was very distinctive, and the sides were raised upward, looking like a heart in a playing card.
He said softly: "Thank Your Highness for taking in my brother, but the number is set by the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's not negotiable, right?" Besides, there is nothing wrong with names like Shence, Huben, and Flying Tiger are also from the titles of government soldiers and forbidden troops. Why did His Royal Highness cause a dispute with the Queen Mother because of this trivial matter. And the Queen Mother said that as long as Her Royal Highness is willing to use this number, the Queen Mother will send Her Royal Highness 3,000 sets of iron armor. ”
"Three thousand sets of iron armor...... Chen Mu's heart moved.
The equipment of the Xuanjia Army is too enviable, and when defending the city, the kind of soldiers who are tightly wrapped seem to be nails on the head of the city.
If you can obtain 3,000 sets of iron armor to protect a fortress city like Jiuquan, 3,000 people can withstand the impact of 20,000 Hu soldiers.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu asked: "The reason why I don't plan to use the name of Long Wujun is not because I have the intention to fight against the Queen Mother. I'm just worried that the three major gates will not agree, and then force the palace and make it difficult for the Queen Mother. But if the Queen Mother insists on doing this, I won't change it. ”
Cao Su nodded.
Chen Mu asked: "Three thousand sets of iron armor, when will they be delivered?" ”
Cao Su smiled: "When it will be sent, it depends on the attitude of the Tang family's gate valve, if Tang Qiong gets in the way, I'm afraid it will be slower." ”
The first is the latest.
