While the palace was bustling with the emperor to marry more women, Han Ruzi was busy in the Tired Marquis's Mansion, trying to select a few qualified Lou Chuan generals and infantry generals among the thousands of generals in Dachu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Encircling and suppressing Yun Chuze and the bandits in the East China Sea requires a large number of warships and infantry, ships can be built slowly, infantry can be mobilized from all over the world, and only commanders are the most difficult to find.

Many of the famous veterans in the period of Emperor Wu are still built, if the imperial court is willing to send a large army at one time, they can command well, but the imperial court does not want to spend too much, this is difficult to do, as soon as the veterans are asked, they all shake their heads cautiously, not daring to give an answer that is sure of victory.

Among the young generals, there are many people who are bold enough to take over any army, but they can't say a specific plan to suppress bandits, and their talents are not like the second Deng Cui, Han Ruzi is not at ease to hand over the heavy responsibility to them.

The sea needs big ships, it is relatively slow to build, there is no need for generals for the time being, Yun Mengze's anti-bandit operation has begun to be implemented, thousands of Chu soldiers are building the first batch of strongholds, there are not many of them, all of them are backed by big cities, easy to defend and difficult to attack, ordinary generals can command.

This gave Han Ruzi a little time.

The Ministry of War has its own set of methods for selecting generals, preparing to conduct a naval exercise on the lake south of the capital, which will last for more than ten days, and according to the performance of the generals, they will be divided into grades for the emperor to choose.

Han Ruzi also found a group of favorites among the noble attendants around him, and planned to send them in turn, cooperate with mature generals, and learn the art of governing the army.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, Han Ruzi could feel the cooperation of the entire Great Chu, this was just a small attempt, the cooperation between the parties and the emperor was not perfect, like an old vehicle back on the road, and the sound of squeaking and rubbing could be heard.

The emperor and the prime minister still have not achieved mutual trust, and Han Ruzi is still in power in the Qinzheng Palace every morning, but Shen Mingzhi is still getting more and more nervous, and every time he has to try to delay time, hoping to keep the emperor by his side.

So far, he has not succeeded, and by noon he has to eat, and once he is out of the sight of the minister, no one can stop the emperor.

Han Ruzi discussed the government with another group of people in the Tihou Mansion, where the rules are not important, and how to solve the problem at the lowest cost is the focus of everyone's discussion.

He also reviewed the recitals here, and in order to show respect for the prime minister, he rarely approved them on the spot, but either sent them to the Qinzheng Palace, or waited the next day to finalize the content of the reply with the ministers.

On the fifth day of the concubine in the palace, Han Ruzi received a special recital in the Tihou Mansion, signed "Concubine Shu", and after being reminded by Zhang Youcai, he knew that this was Deng Cui's sister Deng Yun.

There are concubines under the queen, and then there are ordinary concubines, there are many names, and the concubine is one of them, they are the same as the court officials, they also have grades, official seals and subordinates, and they can deliver the chapter to the emperor, but few people do this, the affairs in the palace must be resolved in the palace, the queen or the queen mother is the final adjudicator, and there is no need to alarm the emperor.

An ordinary concubine who had just been canonized dared to write a recital for the emperor, and she was not small, only when she thought that this was Deng Cui's sister, the emperor and the eunuchs around him felt that it was slightly more reasonable.

Deng Yun's recital is brilliant, she said that she entered the palace like a soldier for the first time as a general, such as the first time a jinshi received an official position, and her heart was to serve the country, but unfortunately there was no enthusiasm, but even the emperor himself could not see it, and it was inevitable that she was puzzled, thinking that she was shallow in her talents, and she was not enough to lead the army to govern the people.

Her metaphor is not only this one, the strange flowers and plants transplanted to the uninhabited valley, the dusty jewels hidden in the chest, the precious stones used by the ignorant to pave the road, etc., are all her images, and there is only one meaning, the emperor should at least come to see her, and it is not in vain for the husband and wife.

It is impossible for the concubine's recital to be sent directly to the emperor, Han Ruzi asked, and learned that it came from Cining Palace, it turned out that there was the support of his mother here, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, it was the queen who personally summoned Deng Yun, why did the new concubine fall to the Empress Dowager Cining as soon as she entered the palace?

Han Ruzi approved the "read", and at noon two days later, before leaving the palace for the Tihou Mansion, he officially summoned all the twelve new concubines, and the queen and the two queen mothers were present.

The four concubines are the protagonists, Han Ruzi recognizes Tong Qing'e, and the two concubines are the daughters of the minister, and the fourth concubine is Deng Cui's sister Deng Yun.

Among these twelve people, Deng Yun's appearance is the most outstanding, otherwise, Deng Cui would not recommend it to the emperor, she is also the most courageous, others are quick glances when saluting the emperor, and the rest of the time they all look down at the ground, and they don't even dare to move their eyes, only Deng Yun glanced at the emperor at the beginning, and when he saluted, he looked at the emperor for a while.

This meeting was supposed to be just a ceremony, and it should end soon, but it turned out to be an inner palace discussion, and the two queen mothers, including the Empress Dowager Cishun, who did not care about the emperor at all, spoke one after another, persuading the emperor to stay in the palace and not always spend the night outside, and the queen also persuaded a few words, in front of outsiders, she must fulfill her duties.

Han Ruzi responded respectfully, saying that the country is in an eventful season, and he needs to answer the news from all over the world from time to time, and there are many things that remain unchanged in the deep palace, and when the situation eases a little, he will return to the palace.

Deng Yun opened his mouth at this time, startling the other concubines and the eunuchs and palace maids present.

"Your Majesty should indeed put state affairs first, since Your Majesty can't live in the palace for a while, it's better to let the concubines take turns to go out of the palace to serve Your Majesty, and the servants in the Tired Marquis's Mansion also need to be managed by one person."

Deng Yun has the ability of his brother Deng Cui, one blow will be hit, the two queen mothers and the empress all agreed, and the emperor couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and he had a feeling that in just a few days, Deng Yun seemed to have won everyone's favor, and the battle he expected did not happen at all.

Serving the emperor should also be sorted by grade, each for three days, the first two concubines are the daughters of the minister, acting cautiously, almost not out of the room, the emperor does not come at night, they do not urge, three days later obediently return to the palace, without half a word of complaint.

Han Ruzi didn't sleep with them, firstly, because he felt ashamed of the queen, and secondly, he really didn't have this mind, these days, he was thinking about the selection of generals, hundreds of names could almost be memorized, and half of the resumes were also familiar with them, and he still couldn't find a suitable person.

Some people are as brave as Fan hitting the mountain, if the two armies are facing each other, they will advance to the bandits' nest step by step, but they are not their strengths.

Some people are as strategic as Chai Yue, if the number of soldiers under their command is enough, they can arrange their troops and set up a perfect strategy, but the soldiers sent by the imperial court to Yun Mengze are only a few thousand at the moment, and if necessary, they can call the garrisons of the surrounding counties and counties, all of which add up to only tens of thousands of people, even if Chai Yue comes forward in person, he will not be able to use this force to surround Yun Mengze.

As for most mediocre people, they can only serve under the command of the general, and they have no ability to stand alone.

Han Ruzi couldn't even tell what kind of general he needed, whether it was the officials of the DPRK and China, or the many attendants and advisers in the Tired Marquis's Mansion, so he was also a little confused.

That night, Han Ruzi left five noble attendants, and summoned three generals recommended by the military department, facing Yun Mengze's map, a piece of empty talk, to put it mildly, it is always inseparable from the word "embarrassment", if the bandits want to succeed, either send more troops, or levy more people around.

Han Ruzi was shaken, but he didn't want to mobilize the crowd so quickly, and preferred to suspend the suppression of bandits, and then formulate a perfect plan after Da Chu's strength recovered.

He just kept this idea in his heart, and did not announce it, and planned to wait for the end of the naval army drill in Jingnan, if he still could not find a suitable general, and then discuss it with the ministers.

The hall was brightly lit, although there was no perfect plan, everyone had a heated discussion, they all wanted to fully show their talents in front of the emperor, if they could send 100,000 male soldiers, Han Ruzi would immediately be able to designate two of them as generals.

The King of the East China Sea and Cui Teng were also there, and the King of the East China Sea could occasionally interject a few words, but Cui Teng would only yawn and slump in the chair and not fall asleep.

Even if the argument was inconclusive, it would be good for the emperor, and Han Ruzi was at least familiar with the generals of Great Chu.

There was a eunuch who came to pay attention to the matter halfway, and did not dare to disturb the emperor, and glanced at Zhang Youcai, Zhang Youcai went out for a while, and didn't say anything after coming back, obviously not a big deal, but in the next time, he kept going in and out, one of which went out for a long time, Han Ruzi noticed it, but at that time he was discussing the method of attacking the water village with great interest, so he didn't particularly care about the eunuch's behavior.

Liu Jie, the central eunuch, stayed in the palace, and the people in charge of the tired marquis's mansion were the old eunuch He Yi and the little eunuch Zhang Youcai, Zhang Youcai was young after all, and he couldn't hold his breath, and every time he returned to the emperor, his face was worse than the last time.

The king of the East China Sea noticed it, and suggested with a smile that everyone rest, the time is not early, others can sleep lazily, and the emperor will have to go to court early tomorrow morning.

These people all lived in the Tired Marquis Mansion, and they left together, Han Ruzi was still unsatisfied, and he was still staring at the map and thinking about it, and it took a while to think of the eunuch next to him, "Youcai, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Youcai finally waited for the emperor's inquiry, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, go and take a look, Concubine Shu...... Concubine Shu killed the chickens and ducks in the house! ”

Concubine Shu has been here for two days, Han Ruzi has long forgotten about it, and when she heard Zhang Youcai say it, she was surprised, those chickens and ducks are all the beloved things of Queen Cui Xiaojun, and no one usually dares to touch them, but they were killed.

Han Ruzi was furious, "Take me to have a look." ”

Zhang Youcai led the way, followed by the eunuch and the guards, and a group of more than a dozen people walked towards the back house.

It was already the second half of the night, most of the people in the house had already fallen asleep, but Concubine Shu did not, Zhang Youcai took the emperor not to the bedroom, but to the back garden.

As soon as they entered the garden, everyone smelled a fragrance and turned a corner, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

The dignified concubine, not only killed a few chickens and ducks, but also roasted them into food, with a big meal of wine, at this time there were already seven or eight points of wine, right in front of the pond chanting poetry, the tone was heroic, but the voice was vague, no one could hear what was being read clearly, the five eunuchs and palace maids around were dumbfounded, as soon as they saw the emperor coming, they immediately wiped their mouths and then knelt.

Concubine Shu stopped chanting poetry, turned around, looked at the emperor staggeringly, and suddenly smirked, "The chickens and ducks raised by the emperor are really extraordinary, and the meat quality is more delicious than other people's. ”

Han Ruzi strode up to Concubine Shu, with a stern expression, and was about to open her mouth to question, when Concubine Shu suddenly threw herself forward, fell into his arms, and immediately stood up straight again, breathing a long sigh of relief.

"Why ...... You"

Before the emperor's words were finished, Concubine Deng Yun said: "Since it is a bandit, why does Your Majesty always think about using soldiers?" The people who are available in the world ......"

Concubine Shu suddenly turned around and threw up at the pond.

Han Ruzi froze again, but this time it had nothing to do with Concubine Shu's performance, it was awakened by her words. (To be continued.) )
