Chen Ran stuffed a bun into his mouth with difficulty, and tried to show that he was about to cry, in fact, many people were moved to cry, so Chen Ran's crying would not make people feel wrong, although his appearance of wanting to cry without tears was really ugly.

"General, seeing that you eat so slowly, can't you eat it?"

The forbidden soldier who had just subcontracted Chen Ran looked at him apologetically, and said cautiously with some grievances: "General, are our buns actually not delicious, General, I have been watching you for a while, and you have eaten every bite very hard, as if it is difficult to swallow, if we don't make it delicious, I'm sorry General." ”

"Delicious!"

Chen Ran raised his hand and patted the soldier's shoulder: "Little brother, I am reluctant to eat." ”

The soldier raised his head sharply, his eyes full of surprise: "Really? ”

Chen Ran's face was sincere: "Really! This is the best steamed bun I have ever tasted, and I really can't bear to eat it all, I even want to take the steamed bun back and eat one a day to save it. ”

"I still have it!"

The soldier stuffed the few buns left in the basket to Chen Ran, with a look of eagerness and expectation: "General, you can eat, if it's not enough, I'll find it for you." ”

Chen Ran was moved to cry again.

Weiyang Palace.

The emperor walked into the Baoji Palace, and the ministers waiting in the hall all stood up, this is not the Taiji Hall of the last dynasty, but the place where the Dongnuan Pavilion is located, the scale is smaller than the Taiji Palace, but it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.

After the emperor came in, he pressed his hand down to signal not to salute, and walked quickly to Shen Leng and glanced at him: "Good job." ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down: "Today, I will hold a banquet in this Baoji Palace, and invite the Daning soldiers who have just returned from the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. While there is still time at this time, I quickly arrange for someone to go back and tell your wife, I still have to worry about the harmony of your family, I am really tired. ”

The ministers laughed, Lai Cheng thought about Your Majesty, you are embarrassed to talk about us.

The emperor said: "I can't talk to you for too long, my soldiers are still waiting outside the Chengtian Gate, you are waiting for me to come back, by the way, send someone to inform the family, Shen Leng, you take your people to follow me outside the Chengtian Gate." ”

Shen Leng hurriedly responded, and the emperor stood up and strode out: "Keep up with me, I have something to ask you." ”

Shen Leng quickened his pace to keep up, and the others all deliberately slowed down.

The emperor said as he walked: "I know that you have been in southern Xinjiang for two years, and you have not stayed in one place for more than a month, you have been running around, you have been fighting, you have been fighting for Daning, you have been fighting for Daning, and you have been fighting for Daning, and for two years, the people in Chang'an City have been dull day by day, so it seems very slow, and it is the same for most of the people of Daning, but for you, every day is not safe, I am very relieved, although you are young, you have not lived up to my hope for you, nor have you lived up to the trust of the people of Daning in the soldiers." ”

Shen Leng said: "Your Majesty, the minister is just doing his duty. ”

The emperor said: "Everyone knows that they should be loyal to their duties, but not everyone can do it every day, people are lazy, you are very good, better than most of the young people I have ever met." ”

Shen Leng: "Thank you......"

Before he could say anything, the emperor said, "I'm not praising you, I think I should be a little proud." ”

Shen Leng: "Huh? ”

The emperor didn't explain, and his heart said that you are my son, didn't you get my inheritance if you are excellent?

The emperor said, "Tell me what is the matter with the resting people?" What do you think of the Sabbatbats? ”

"Wolves."

Shen Leng sorted out the wording and said: "A group of real wolves, they are different from Heiwu, Heiwu is more hateful to Daning, and he is not convinced, Heiwu has rarely expanded outward, no matter how big it is, it can't rule, Heiwu expands to increase the territory and will rule, the rest of the people are not, they fight for the sake of fighting, kill for the sake of killing, they will not think about how to rule in the future because they occupy a place, they will only think about how many people to kill and how many things to steal after occupying a place." ”

"Everywhere they have conquered is a mess, no matter how difficult it is to recover, there is no way to recover if the people are gone, and all the defeated tribes or countries will be killed, and the people of peace think that there will be no worries about the future, and they don't care about the wasted land."

The emperor frowned slightly: "Just for plunder." ”

"Yes."

Shen Leng continued: "The people of Anxi, they never think that the place they have beaten down is their place, in their concept, only their hometown is their place, so even if it is not far away, they will send the plundered women and materials back to the country of rest. ”

The Emperor said, "What do you think of the resting army?" ”

"Very strong, not lost to the Black Warriors, the Sabbatarians have been waging wars, almost never stopped, even if the people of any ethnic group are born with weaker physical conditions, but the non-stop fighting will make them stronger, the Black Warriors still have many armies that have not participated in the war, but the Sabbatarians have been fighting, as long as the war is waged, the whole country, all the prime men will become soldiers, every time the Sabbatarians go out, it is the same."

The emperor nodded: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Shen Leng replied: "Garrison the army in the Rilang country all the year round, set up the capital to protect the house, train the Rilang people, and provide certain weapons, equipment and materials, fortunately, the Rilang people are not short of money, so this kind of provision is just to appease their hearts, the number does not need to be too much, just show the attitude, the minister came back from the Rilang country and left Dewey's name there, but Your Majesty also knows that it is the attitude of the minister, not the attitude of Your Majesty, with Your Majesty's attitude, Rilang will really be down-to-earth, and will really believe that Daning will not ignore them." ”

The emperor turned around: "Lai Cheng, come here." ”

Lai Cheng quickened his pace to keep up: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Did you hear what Shen Leng just said?"

"I heard some."

"What do you think?"

"What General Shen said is very reasonable, Your Majesty has a will to go over, and set up an official government, no matter what kind of institution it is, it is Daning's attitude, so the Rilang people will be at ease, General Shen has said a long time ago, if there will be a war, then let the war happen outside Daning, and Rilang Country is the most suitable battlefield."

The emperor nodded: "Duhu Mansion...... Daning has never been set up, the distance is too far, it is impossible to send too many people over, and the thousands of troops that can stay there are close to the limit, so the best way is to let the Rilang people fight the resting people, in this way, the cabinet will discuss how to determine the level of the Metropolitan Protectorate, how to determine the authority, and report to me as soon as possible after the discussion. ”

Lai Cheng lowered his head: "The minister will arrange it immediately." ”

Shen Leng said: "The minister's suggestion is that the level of the Metropolitan Protectorate should not be too low, and it is clear that the royal power of King Rilang and other surrounding small countries will be recognized, as long as they are vassals to Daning, Daning will provide shelter, of course, this is just to calm their hearts, the Metropolitan Protectorate can play a role, relying on Daning's strong national strength, and combining the forces of those small countries in series, and resisting foreign races against foreign races." ”

"The foreign race against the foreign race."

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded: "This matter must be done as soon as possible, and it will be tentative...... Annan Protectorate, what is the ability of Dewey? ”

Shen Leng replied: "His talent is not under the minister. ”

"Hmm."

The emperor asked, "What is his current military position?" ”

"Positive five products."

"It's really low, it's hard to convince those foreign kings...... Lai Cheng, see if you can transfer people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites, and Dewey's name will be temporarily determined and promoted to the fourth grade...... From the Sanpin Bar, military affairs are all under his control, and other matters are discussed with the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites, with him as the leader. ”

Lai Chengdao: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to directly mention it from the third grade, or it's better to be the fourth grade, Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to give Dewey a knight, and then give the right to arbitrariness." ”

"It's fine."

The emperor nodded: "The cabinet will discuss it as soon as possible." ”

While saying that he had arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, the people who were waiting near Chengtianmen hurriedly made way and waited for the emperor to board Chengtianmen, and the emperor stopped there, and then strode out of Chengtianmen: "I can't go up, I want to go to the soldiers." ”

Although His Majesty said that it was okay to let the ministers wait in the Baoji Palace, but no one could really wait there, His Majesty arrived outside the Chengtian Gate, everyone followed out, in the crowd, Zhong Shangliang, who had not been the secretary of the Criminal Department for a few years, glanced at the adults in the Yushitai, and his face was a little wrong, he was promoted after Yan Jugang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was killed, and he had no foundation in the Criminal Department, but fortunately, he was very capable, so he quickly stabilized.

He deliberately walked slowly, waiting for the people from the Yushitai to come over, and the deputy envoy of the Yushitai knew that he was waiting for him, and glanced at Zhong Shangliang: "Lord Shangshu has something to say?" ”

Zhong Shangliang said: "Your Majesty is very happy today. ”

The right side of the bus said lightly: "But the duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory is often to make His Majesty unhappy." ”

Zhong Shangliang said: "Otherwise, let's discuss it with Lord Du Yu Shilai?" ”

The bus shook his head right: "No, Lord Lai...... He is no longer a person from the Yushitai, he thinks too much and weighs too much, so many things can't be truly fair and selfless, Lord Lai has temporarily acted as the head of the cabinet, what he has to consider is different from what the people of the Yushitai have to consider, if I don't do it, I'm sorry Daning is sorry Your Majesty, if I go to discuss with Lord Lai, I'm sorry Daning I'm sorry Your Majesty. ”

Zhong Shangliang knew the temper of the right side of the bus, if it wasn't stinky and hard, how could he be respected in Yushitai, and even Lai Cheng had to give him three points of courtesy on weekdays.

In the distance, His Majesty was still talking to the soldiers, and bursts of cheers came.

Zhong Shangliang sighed: "I only know that I really shouldn't say it today." ”

The bus snorted right: "Do things for Your Majesty, don't wait for tomorrow." ”

An hour later, the Hoji Temple.

The emperor looked at the ministers sitting around with a smile on his eyebrows, he was indeed very happy today, so he planned to drink two more glasses.

The emperor stood up with his cup, everyone stood up, and the emperor smiled and said, "Today's first cup of wine, I think we should still respect Shen Leng and Daning's sea patrol. ”

Everyone raised their glasses, Shen Leng and Wang Gendong were a little nervous and even panicked.

At this moment, the emperor noticed that only the deputy capital of the Imperial Observatory sat motionless, not raising a glass or standing up, but staring at Shen Leng's side.

"Bus right."

The emperor shouted, "Do you have something to say?" ”

The right side of the bus stood up and said loudly: "Today, the civil and military ministers in the Baoji Palace, Your Majesty said that the ministers are willing to respect anyone, but Shen Leng is the only one who can't, the ministers don't dare to respect the rebellious ministers and thieves who form a party and try to rebel for personal gain!" ”

In a word, the entire hall fell silent.
