"What, that's what you usually eat?" Looking at the food that Wei Chongan brought up to feed the pigs, Shen Yan's good mood suddenly became very depressed and angry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mr. Qian, we are all abandoned people, or we don't know how to flatter and let the people in the barracks think we are ruffians and thorns, so they send all of us here and let us eat these meals that even pigs don't want to eat every day, not to mention our military pay and equipment." After Wei Chongan was beaten by Shen Yan, he was completely convinced by Shen Yan, and he had no scruples in his heart, and threw out the grievances he had received during this time.

"What? They don't pay you either? Shen Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and some gloom appeared in his eyes.

"The first two months after being sent here were paid on time, and the military salary disappeared from the third month, and we went to ask for it, and they said that the household department didn't give it to them, isn't this nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that the trouble would involve the family, we would have already smashed the turtle son of those turtle bastards." As soon as Wei Chongan said this, he got angry, and said swear words again and again.

"Chong'an, I'll give you a task, you pack me a portion of my food, and after eating this rough meal, I'll ask for an explanation for everyone." Although Shen Yan didn't know who withheld these people's military salaries, he knew that if he could successfully solve this matter, they would definitely be grateful to him.

"Brothers, I didn't know that you were living such a hard life, but it doesn't matter, from this moment on, you are my Shen Yan's soldiers, I won't let you eat these rough foods that don't even eat pigs, but before I leave, we still have to eat this food, after all, we have strength when we are full." Shen Yan immediately stood up, his eyes were filled with some mist, and he said to the soldiers beside him with red eyes, and then picked up a rough buckwheat steamed bun with wheat husks, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, come, let's nibble on delicious pig's trotters." ”

Although Shen Yan's mouth was very relaxed, the moment the buckwheat steamed bun entered his throat, he obviously felt that his throat was crossed by the buckwheat husk, which was really uncomfortable, but in order to win the hearts of these soldiers, he had to pretend to be calm and swallow it while talking and laughing.

"We're gnawing on pig's trotters." The soldiers didn't comprehend Shen Yan's words for a while, and then when they saw Shen Yan eating with relish, they all suddenly realized, and then everyone shouted in unison.

"At this moment, I really walked into the hearts of this group of soldiers." Shen Yan devoured the steamed buns, and then gulped the cold water, as if he was chewing the delicacies of the mountains and seas, which were peerless delicacies.

"Chief, do you really want to ask for an explanation for them?" After everyone finished eating, Shen Yan asked Pei Xiangdong to temporarily take charge of everyone's training, and then took the packaged food and left the barracks with Chang Wu and the others, Chang Wu glanced back at Yuanmen, then walked to Shen Yan's side and asked softly.

"Yes, I finally won the hearts of these people and cracked the trap set by the Ministry of War, why don't I ask for an explanation for them and ask for military salaries for them." Shen Yan knew that the difficulty of this matter was not small, but since his words were released, he had to face them, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of him.

Although the difficulty of this matter is not small, but Shen Yan did not think about going to the Ministry of War, going to the Ministry of Household to make trouble, the officials there will not buy their own accounts at all, they do not fall into the well to give themselves face, and they also expect them to help themselves, since the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household cannot go, he still has the biggest dependence, he has the title of cabinet walking, he can enter the palace to see the emperor at any time, and show the packaged food to the emperor, although it will not cause any big storms, at least it will set off some small storms, and ask for some benefits by the way, The military salary or something is not yet hand-to-hand.

The question is, how can I get the emperor to help me willingly, or what kind of name can I give the emperor, or what kind of benefits can I bring to the emperor? And this is the key and fundamental to this problem.

"The principal, don't blame the subordinates for talking too much, the deduction of military salaries is obviously done by the military and the household department, if the principal intervenes rashly, he may be countered by the other party, and it seems that it is not cost-effective to take the future of the main thing for the sake of this group of soldiers." A trace of worry appeared in Zhang Sheng's eyes, and he persuaded softly.

"I know, thank you for your concern." Looking at Zhang Sheng's concerned face, a trace of gratitude appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, although he had not been with the two of them for a long time, and they were by his side with a mission, but he was grateful if he could really consider himself in this matter, "Don't worry, I know this matter in my heart, I won't go directly to the military department or the household department, and I won't embarrass myself." ”

"Isn't this Master Shen's business, our family hasn't congratulated Master Shen yet." When Xu Sanyuan saw Shen Yan's figure appear in the palace from a distance, he hurriedly took two steps and said softly.

"Father-in-law Xu, I don't have any happy events." Shen Yan asked confusedly.

"Haha, Director Shen rotated the military department and hung up the post of temporary thousand generals, isn't this a happy event, there are so many officials in the court, but there are only a handful of people who hold both civil and military positions." Xu Sanyuan explained with a smile.

"Is this a happy event?" The corners of Shen Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile.

"What is Master Shen holding in his hand?" Xu Sanyuan's eyes casually looked at the packed lunch in Shen Yan's hand, and asked with a puzzled face.

"This is my lunch." Shen Yan lifted the lunch packed in his hand forward, and said indifferently, "I want to see the emperor, I wonder if the emperor is free now?" ”

"The emperor is free, but our family whispered a reminder to Master Shen, the emperor is not in a very good mood at the moment, and he should be careful when he sees the saint." The corners of Xu Sanyuan's mouth showed a kind smile, "Director Shen hasn't eaten lunch yet." ”

"Thank you father-in-law Xu for reminding me, I came in a hurry today, and next time my father-in-law is free, I will definitely invite my father-in-law to drink two cups." A trace of gratitude appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, the emperor's mood was very important when he saw the saint, and who knew whether the emperor's mood was good or bad, only Xu Sanyuan, but Xu Sanyuan would not tell every official who saw the emperor's mood, and he could tell himself today because the other party wanted to buy a good one for himself, which was a great favor, "I have already eaten it, but I just feel that the food in my hand is a little special, so I want to invite the emperor to taste it together." ”

"None of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty have such a seven-trick exquisite heart as Chief Shen, no wonder the emperor loves Chief Shen so much." A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, and he said lightly.

"Minister Shen Yan see the emperor, long live my emperor." Shen Yan cautiously walked to the emperor, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.

"I heard that you went to the outskirts of Beijing to train recruits, why did you come to me to be lazy." When Xia Qi saw Shen Yan's Shen Yan, his originally bad mood seemed to be somewhat soothed, and he dropped the fold in his hand and said with a frown.

"Your Majesty, how dare the minister be lazy, it's not that the minister just arrived at the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing, and at noon he ate some food that he had never eaten before, and he felt novel, so he deliberately took the time to bring some to the emperor to try." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he hurriedly raised the steamed bun in his hand above his head.

"Do you have this faithfulness and filial piety, get up and speak." Xia Qi's frowning brows stretched slightly, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Shen Yan, you are so bold, you just fooled me, do you think I won't punish you because I like you?" Xia Qi took the steamed bun from Shen Yan's hand and opened it, his brows, which were originally slightly stretched, wrinkled even tighter, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Shen Yan coldly, as if Shen Yan had punished the other party without giving an explanation.

"The emperor is angry, the minister does not mean to deceive the emperor, but the minister thinks that this buckwheat steamed bun is really novel, so he will use it to present it to the emperor." Shen Yan knelt down and shouted softly in his mouth.

"Say, what the hell is going on?" Shen Yan in Xia Qi's impression will not make fun of himself for no reason, there must be something hidden in this that he doesn't know, and he seems to want to excuse Shen Yan in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is actually a lunch for ministers to train recruits." Shen Yan raised his head, looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, the minister went to the outskirts of Beijing to train recruits with passion, but where are the recruits who greet the minister, they are a group of ruffians who are regarded as thorns by the army. ”

"Oh, you're here to complain or complain." Xia Qi looked at Shen Yan with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and seemed to be mixed with a trace of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, how dare the ministers complain to the emperor." The change in Xia Qi's eyes did not escape Shen Yan's careful observation, "Although the minister is facing a group of thorns, the minister has no fear in his heart, but the minister knows that he has no experience in leading troops, nor does he have the management of training recruits, so he decided to take the most crude method to gain the approval of the soldiers." ”

"Crude method?" A trace of curiosity flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, and his attention was successfully taken away by Shen Yan.

"It's to conquer them with your fists." Shen Yan said confidently.

"Fists, just rely on your thin body?" A hint of suspicion clearly flashed in Xia Qi's eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't look down on the minister, the minister has also practiced for a few days, don't believe it, you can call someone to test whether the minister's fist is hard or not?" Shen Yan seemed to feel extremely aggrieved, and his face was bitter.

"I don't have this spare time." A hint of impatience appeared in Xia Qi's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the ministers used their fists to gain their approval, and this is what they ate with them at noon, and they haven't received their salaries for months." Shen Yan knew that this was the only opportunity he could help Pei Xiangdong and them increase their food and get military salaries, and once the emperor lost his patience, he would come to this trip in vain.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that they are all a group of brave and loyal soldiers, but they eat these every day and can't receive military salaries, which is forcing them to separate from the emperor." Shen Yan took advantage of the situation and said alarmistly.

"Shen Yan, you are so bold." Xia Qimeng slapped the desk and said angrily.
