Jincheng is the capital of the country, it is also an important town in the north, dozens of miles away from the Great Wall, after passing the customs, it can go directly to the Mayi city outside the plug, one inside and one outside are dependent on each other, the emperor and his party arrived one day earlier than the estimated time, and they had to wait for 50,000 northern troops here.

While crossing a bridge, Han Ruzi rode up a nearby hill to observe his army.

After Liu Jie, the central supervisor, was reprimanded, he was very ashamed, and the next day he gave the emperor an idea: "Your Majesty wants to choose people, first of all, you have to use people, Wen is in the imperial examination, and Wu is in the march. That's what Emperor Wu did, and as far as I know, the previous emperor's selection strategy was probably like this. ”

Han Ruzi felt that Liu Jie's words were very reasonable, so he ordered the powerful children of the honor guard battalion to take turns to command the march, especially when crossing the bridge and climbing the mountain, he wanted to see if the team was neat and orderly, and the contrast was the thousand elite soldiers led by Fan Bangshan.

Fan Bangshan is more than brave and lacking in strategy, but he was born in the army and has extremely rich experience, and the small matter of marching is not a problem for him, and his command are all soldiers selected from the southern and northern armies, and the formation is quick and natural, and he can cross the narrow bridge almost without slowing down.

In contrast, the guard battalion was a little worse, because the soldiers came from a complicated source, they were not convinced by each other, no one was willing to give way, there were several disputes at the bridgehead, and the dozen or so sons and daughters of the powerful people who were in charge of the rotation did not dare to give direct orders, so they could only persuade back and forth, and finally did not cause much chaos.

Han Ruzi on the hill saw it in his eyes, and first vetoed this group of powerful children, the military generals are different from Wenchen, if they don't even dare to be in charge during the march, if they really go to the battlefield, they will inevitably hesitate, so as to delay the fighter.

But these entourage of powerful children are not useless, in the past few days, he has taken a fancy to several people, all of them have been firmly in mind, and he plans to finish all the rounds, and then continue to test them.

According to the practice of Da Chu, the civil servants above the fifth grade are basically from Jinshi, and the noble family can learn literature, and there are relatively few people, and the most important way out is to be from the army, according to their own status and their own merits, they are promoted much faster than ordinary soldiers, and Han Ruzi can only select generals from among them first.

There will be an examination in the capital next spring, and Han Ruzi decided to select more talents at that time and slowly cultivate qualified Wenchen.

Ten years later, he thought that as long as he was ten years, he would be able to make Da Chu change, even if he couldn't restore the strength of Emperor Wu, he wouldn't be shaky.

An ambition rose in Han Ruzi's heart, wishing that time would pass faster, and Cui Teng, who was beside him, suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, look." ”

Cui Teng has been tried a long time ago, like everyone else, he doesn't understand the emperor's intentions, he thinks it's just fun, full of majesty, but the command is a mess, the emperor doesn't reprimand, he doesn't care, and he doesn't know that he has lost the opportunity to stand alone.

For the sake of Cui Teng's loyalty and the queen's face, Han Ruzi decided to keep Cui Teng by his side, just to form a counterbalance with the king of the East China Sea.

The East China Sea Kingdom fell, the King of the East China Sea could not go to the country, he could only follow the emperor to the north, he was very willing, and even hoped to be able to return to the capital, at this time he also looked at the bridge, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty looks at it, just do this kind of thing, what kind of system?" ”

The two sons of the powerful were whipping each other with their horsewhips, interfering with the march, and many people gathered around to persuade each other, but did not dare to get too close.

"I'm going to teach them a lesson." Cui Teng said excitedly, gently flicking the horsewhip in his hand, his so-called lesson was to rush in to participate in the battle, with his identity, no one dared to fight back.

"No need, it's a little thing, whoever should be in charge is in charge." Han Ruzi wanted to see how the commander on duty dealt with it, "Who are the two people who are fighting?" ”

Cui Teng squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, "One is Han Xing's grandson, and the other seems to be ...... Oh, isn't that Prime Minister Yin's nephew Yin Xiaoyan? ”

"Han Xing doesn't have a grandson, that's his grandson, who passed on to Han Xing's nephew, but he is not included in the genealogy, and he is not a child of the clan." The East Sea King corrected.

Cui Teng glanced coldly at the East Sea King.

The two of them fought for some reason, no one listened to each other, there were more and more onlookers, and some people even coaxed, almost blocking the bridge, Han Ruzi shook his head regretfully, and was about to send the generals around him to end the chaos, and someone finally stepped forward at the bridgehead.

It was a young man, who looked very old, but he rode a tall steed, shouted and ordered the crowd to get out of the way, and then galloped through between the two brawlers, and quickly turned the horse's head and passed through again, forcing them back so that they could not shake each other's whips.

The others rushed up to persuade them to stop, and one pointed to the flag on the distant knoll, and the two finally returned to the group, but they were very dissatisfied with the young man who rushed in, and pointed at him with a horsewhip, and said something, as if threatening.

"Who is this person?" Han Ruzi asked again.

Cui Teng couldn't answer, and the king of the East China Sea pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't even know your own nephew?" ”

"Nephew? Where did I get my nephew? Cui Teng was inexplicable.

"That's Miao Yuan, the son of Ping Enhou, why don't you remember?"

"Oh, it turned out to be him, maybe I've seen it, there are so many relatives in the Cui family, how can I recognize them all?"

Han Ruzi wrote down the name, Mrs. Ping Enhou once supported him, but it was a woman who fell with the wind, blowing loudly, but in the end it was useless, Han Ruzi hoped that her son would be better.

It was time for the emperor to return to the ranks, Cui Teng opened the way in front, and the king of the East China Sea approached the emperor, slightly behind half a horse's head, and whispered, "Your Majesty beware of being deceived." ”

"Huh?"

"The selection of generals on the march is not a new method, everyone can't see it in the first two days, but now there must be smart people who have figured it out and intend to show their hands in front of His Majesty."

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, "Is it so difficult to choose a few generals who can fight?" ”

"This kind of thing can't be rushed, Your Majesty observes it yourself, and it has to be recommended by veterans, there are many famous generals in the frontier, and they will not all have a false name, just say that in this Jin City, there is a famous general, who is a descendant of the former general Deng Liao, named Deng Cui, who is now the captain of the country, and the wife and brother of the acting king."

Han Ruzi glanced at the King of the East China Sea twice, "You know a lot of people. ”

The King of the East Sea smiled: "I know them, but they don't recognize me." My Majesty was either marching every day, or burying my head in the recital, and I thought that I had to do something to share His Majesty's worries, so I went to talk to the accompanying officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, and asked them what famous officials and famous generals they had passed along the way, thinking that if Your Majesty needed it, I would be able to save a little time for Your Majesty. ”

Han Ruzi was even more surprised, and walked silently for a while, "You still have to go to the East China Sea Country." ”

"Of course, so I have to hurry up and do something for Your Majesty."

The change of the king of the East China Sea was too big and too abrupt, and Han Ruzi asked, "Are you for yourself or for the princess?" ”

The king of the East China Sea blushed, and after a few words, his speech became clear, "The princess really doesn't want to go to the East China Sea Kingdom, saying that it is too remote, and that it is ...... also said that she would try her best to return to the capital, but if she couldn't do it, she would stay in Luoyang. ”

"Well, isn't the Tan family still dead?"

"No, no, Your Majesty has misunderstood, the Tan family knows that the general trend has gone, and all they are thinking about now is business, Luoyang is located in the middle of the world......"

"Needless to say, the battle to quell the chaos is over, and the Tan family has to go to the East China Sea with you."

"I only ask for one thing, Your Majesty's will must be stricter, and the princess will not be able to complain about me." The King of the East China Sea said pitifully.

Han Ruzi sped up and ignored him, this younger brother was scheming, and he tried his best to stay with the emperor and grab the last bit of power.

The acting king and the domestic ministers went out of the city for thirty miles to greet the emperor, and the sound of drums could be heard from afar.

The acting king is the same generation as Emperor Wu, he is already very old, he has changed his title several times, and he has been in the dynasty for nearly 20 years, and he has a good reputation.

The accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites and Liu Jie, the central supervisor, went to see the acting king early and comforted the acting king in the name of the emperor, and the acting king frequently sent people to thank the emperor.

This is a strange conversation, Liu Jie is speaking on behalf of the emperor in front, Han Ruzi doesn't know what he is talking about at all, the acting king is grateful, and every time he says a few words, he has to send his children and grandchildren to repeat it to the emperor quickly.

The etiquette is like this, the acting king is not the most excessive, Han Ruzi has seen more flattering officials along the way, the position is too low, he does not dare to show it directly to the emperor, all used on the entourage of ministers and the emperor's entourage, Zhang Youcai insists on his position and does not accept anything, but the loach has become a little rich, as for others, such as Cui Teng, Han Ruzi does not know the specific situation, but I heard that everywhere there are vehicles driving to Luoyang and the capital overnight, loaded with generous gifts for the Cui family.

Han Ruzi held back for the time being, one because there were more urgent military affairs in front of him, the second was to find out the situation, and it was good to be targeted, and the third was that he was not very sure and wanted to ask Yang Feng for advice after returning to the capital.

He saw the acting king, and the rumored image of kindness and benevolence is not the same, the acting king is an aging big fat man, with loose skin, a wine-colored person, as soon as he sees the emperor, he cries loudly, and Henan Yin Han is the same as out.

Obviously, this is also a habit.

Han Ruzi didn't make such a fuss, so he immediately drank a glass of dust-washing wine, thanked the acting king for guarding the frontier, and praised him as the pillar of the clan.

In the evening of the same day, the procession arrived at Jincheng, where the emperor could no longer live in the barracks outside the city, and the acting king, from the day he knew that the emperor was coming to patrol the border, was preparing to take over the car, and even connected a number of seals, imploring the emperor to stay in the palace, and he was willing to lead his wife and concubine to move elsewhere.

After several concessions, Han Ruzi moved into the palace and occupied half of the house, and the other half was still reserved for the king.

Han Ruzi wanted to summon Deng Cui immediately, and then discuss the military situation outside the Cyprus with the generals, but he had to pass the banquet first.

The banquet was originally planned to last until the early hours of the morning, Han Ruzi said goodbye in advance in the middle of the night, the more places he walked and the more officials he saw, the more he felt that there were many problems in Da Chu, and he had to take strong medicine to cure them, he just didn't understand, why did Emperor Wu, who had created a prosperous era with his own hands, leave such a mess for future generations of children and grandchildren?

Cui Teng has always been unhappy with alcohol, and he will never leave the scene until the last moment if he doesn't drink freely, but today is an exception, pushing away the king of the East China Sea and the eunuchs, and he has to personally send the emperor back to his room to rest, and the drunkenness is not obvious.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." In the bedroom, Cui Teng said with a grin.

"Say."

"Since Your Majesty is staying in the palace, someone must be able to see you."

"Who?"

Han Ruzi thought that Cui Teng had finally opened his mind and wanted to recommend talents to him, but what he heard was an unexpected answer.

"My sister."

"Huh?"

"It's not the queen, another sister, the one who used to marry the champion Hou." Cui Teng frowned, he couldn't remember what this sister was called.

"Why is she here?"

"Didn't the champion Hou leave a son, he couldn't give it to the Tan family, and he couldn't stay in the Cui family, so he had to give it to the Dai Guo Deng family, that was the uncle of the champion Hou, my sister was soft-hearted and sent it in person. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she begged me for a long time to see His Majesty, not for anything else, but just to say a few words for the son of the champion Hou, and it can be regarded as her duty to the champion Hou Ren. ”

Cui Teng gave a reason why it was difficult for Han Ruzi to refuse. (To be continued.) )
