This news is no small feat.

Even though Zhu Houzhao has always had a lot of expectations for Xu Xun's design, but now that he really heard such a thing, he still felt a sense of refreshment - the reason why it was not a shock but a shock was naturally because Xu Xun had already won such a battle before, and now the trilateral general system is Yang Yiqing taking office, plus he got a report in advance, the odds of winning are quite considerable. So, after he took a deep breath, he looked at Xu Xun with blazing eyes and said, "Can Yang Yiqing withstand it?" Do you want me to send Shenying over again? ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, Yansui Town is one of the nine sides, and there are originally heavy troops stationed, so just send someone to quickly inform General Yang that the border is strictly prepared, so as not to let the little prince's troops not come. As for the generals of Yansui...... If the minister is not mistaken, Cao Xiong, the deputy chief soldier of Yansui, is also a veteran of the war, and with him assisting the general system of Yang, he will definitely be able to succeed immediately. ”

"Cao Xiong, Cao Xiong......"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao repeating the name there, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Does the emperor think this name is familiar?" The good pope learned that the first Xi'an Limen found out that the one who exterminated the king seal was Cao Mi, the second son of Cao Xiong, and the minister also played a tribute to the emperor. ”

"Ah, yes, that's it!" Zhu Houzhao nodded suddenly in realization, his eyes lit up for a while, "In this way, since this news is secret, then I will not go through the military department, I will personally write a letter to Yang Yiqing and Cao Xiong, and ask them to take strict precautions......"

The little emperor was so anxious about the war, Xu Xun could understand it in his heart, but the handwriting of the Son of Heaven was equivalent to a secret edict, but this was not trivial, so he had to cough and interrupt the conversation, and then said in a low voice: "The emperor is the king of a country living in the palace, Yang Yiqing and Cao Xiong received such a thing, I am afraid that they will be shocked extraordinarily, the movement is too big." If the emperor can trust the minister, he will send a letter to Yang Yiqing by the minister. As for Cao Xiong's, it was simpler, and it was sent as Cao Mi's family letter, so unaware. In this way, if the situation changes, their efforts are in vain, and it is just a shadow of the minister's cup. ”

Hearing Xu Xun say this, Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt reasonable, tilted his head and looked at Xu Xun again, he couldn't help but feel that Xu Xun always took the most troublesome things on his body, and never took credit.

"Well, then do as you say!"

Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood, and after agreeing, he glanced at Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang, and said with a smile: "This time, the two of you have been outside for several months, and you have made great achievements in the wind and rain, and there is hard work in addition to the merits. ”

Such a good thing was unprecedented, and for a moment, the two half-grown teenagers of about the same age glanced at each other, and finally bowed down almost at the same time, and although the words and sentences were slightly different, the meaning was carved out of a mold.

"The ministers don't dare to take credit, it's all the cultivation of Lord Xu." This is what Qi Jiliang, who has now learned to be well-behaved, said.

"Thanks to Lord Xu's strategy, the two ministers were able to succeed in one fell swoop. Besides, since the minister is the son of a nobleman, he should share his worries for the emperor and dare not ask for any reward. This is what Xu Yanche, who has always known opportunities, said. In addition to attributing it to his boss, he also gave a satisfactory explanation for his humility, reflecting the advantage of his being one year older than Qi Jiliang.

Hearing that the two of them gave the credit to Xu Xun, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but squint at Xu Xun with his eyes. Xu Xun had long been accustomed to the little emperor's playful gaze, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the two of them slapping each other, the plan can't catch up with the changes, if they weren't working hard in front, where would they have today's results?" They have just been promoted, this rank, you might as well wait until the battle of Yansui is over to calculate, I wrote to Yang Yiqing and Cao Xiong to mention this, and they will naturally help talk when the time comes. As for the rest...... The minister remembers that the eldest princess of Renhe and the prince of Dingguo seem to have invited Xuntian? ”

The eldest princess of Renhe is to ask for another Xuntian, and the Duke of Dingguo is to ask for the return of the ancestral Xuntian, and the two sides are added together, and the number reaches 100 hectares. It sounds like a lot, but among the clansmen and nobles in the capital, it is an insignificant number. However, when Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.

It is not easy for this reward to pass through the cabinet.

Xu Xun seemed to see Zhu Houzhao's embarrassment, and when he saw that Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche were shocked, he said with a smile: "The minister knows that the number of Xuntian is too large, and the bosses of the court and China may attack in groups, but if it weren't for Xuntian near Gyeonggi, the bosses wouldn't have any opinions, right?" What the minister means is that the large piece of land outside the new opening fort in Yutailing, from the abandoned city of Xinghe to the Shacheng, can be given to the two families of Qi and Xu? Or is it a piece to give the minister a star and a half? ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche were taken aback, and Zhu Houzhao was also confused. He knew that Xu Xun had always had the most ghost ideas, so he immediately shouted angrily: "Don't play dumb riddles for me, what do you have in mind?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xinghe Abandoned City is located on the bank of the Dongyang River, when the city was built to hold the second side, and then the city was abandoned because of the ruin, but really speaking, that place and the sand city in front of it, west of Chahar Khanting, east and north of Tongyong Shebu and Ordos, not far from the fire screen department. This area is now only a herdsman's grazing land, and there are no Tartars stationed, so if possible, the latter area is extremely suitable as a trade place to communicate between the East and the West, and the surname is called the Free Trade Zone......

The horse market of the Ming Dynasty was open and closed, and they were all opened in their own land, which sometimes had a large number of people, taking advantage of the tribute horses to loot along the way, and disturbed the place; There are also times when the frontier generals collude inside and outside, set up ambushes to wipe out all the people who come to the market, swallow up cattle, sheep and horses, and even report the heads of people as military merits, all in all, a large mess of confused accounts. After Xu Xun explained these things to Zhu Houzhao in detail, he looked at Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche and said: "That place is still the land of the Ming Dynasty according to the previous words, so it was sealed out to the lords and nobles, only saying that it was at the request of Renhe and the eldest princess and the prince of Dingguo, so this kind of land was awarded, in order to encourage the children of Guijie to fight for the country, as for the ministers, the emperor can just find one or two excuses......"

"You, you, you!"

Before he finished listening, Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't help it, pointed at Xu Xun with one hand and didn't know what to say, and after a long time he shook his head, and looked at the stunned Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche seriously: "See, he is about the same age as you and me, but he is a belly full of bad water, even if those old adults look like ghosts, they have to drink his footwashing water!" I can make a bet with you, this reward will go on, if those people in the court can find any reason to refute it, I will lose to you ten thousand horses! ”

Although Xuntian was not given, but was replaced by such a place, but now Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche are both people who have been brainwashed by Xu Xun's fooling. Qi Jiliang is an only son, and everything in the family will be his, so it doesn't matter if there is more or less; Xu Yanche is the second son, and no matter how much Xuntian has, most of them will be left to the eldest brother who inherits the title, and the benefits to him are limited. Compared to these, the Holy Grace of the Son of Heaven cannot be seen or touched, but it is the most important. What's more, Xu Xun hasn't cheated them much so far.

So, hearing the little emperor's bet, both of them agreed with a smile. However, Zhu Houzhao will not really learn from Xu Xun who only gives people hollow soup balls, and after thinking about it slightly, he said: "In this way, you often have to run out after the queen, I remember to pay tribute to a few of the most rain-proof and snow-proof cloaks, I and the queen mother left two, and the others were not given to others for the time being, you each one first." Then there is the palace fan that Jiangnan Gong came up, and one of you will bring two boxes back to give people to play...... Well, there are plum blossoms in Qiongyuan, bring a few bottles back for you and put them at home to look good...... Although most of them are useless, in Xu Xun's words, others must be stingy and reluctant to give you cheap things, so they use these worthless prevarications! ”

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao directly brought himself in, Xu Xun had to touch his nose and smile bitterly. However, immediately after, he found that Zhu Houzhao looked over with interest: "Xu Xun, now that the two of them are back, you should start working on your previous interesting idea, right?" Since you said that you are specifically investigating the military intelligence of the Tartars in the north, and you want to hide it from the bosses of the court, I have already thought of an excellent name for you, and the surname Suo is called the insider factory, how about it? ”

The stunned Xu Xun looked at the smug Zhu Houzhao, and secretly wondered if he was going around in order to carry the name of such a factory guard? So, he took a deep breath and said sternly: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" The minister has a family motto, in this life and this life, he will not do anything about the factory guard, otherwise the minister will not push the good palm brocade clothes and guards out before! ”

Obviously knew that Xu Xun was nonsense, but when he heard the two words of this family motto, Zhu Houzhao endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shout angrily: "What kind of family motto, aren't you afraid that I will call Xu Liang to confront you?" ”

"If the emperor wants to consult his father, the minister will naturally be happy."

Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche really didn't understand why Xu Xun wanted to resign from this appointment - the reputation of the factory guard is not good, but how good can Xu Xun's reputation be now? And seeing Xu Xun's appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, the two looked at each other, but finally gave up their efforts to guess each other's intentions - instead of this, it is better to wait for someone to say it themselves?

"Then what do you say! Anyway, you don't want to draw a big pie for me! ”

"Instead of calling it an insider factory, so that the bosses can't get along with the ministers when they hear it, it is better to set up a post under the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, who are now receiving a share of the money......"

"Although most of the people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are idlers, you don't want to think about how many governors there are, what are you doing at such an age, not to mention that there is your father!" Zhu Houzhao immediately understood what Xu Xun meant, and waved his hand undoubtedly, "I have an idea!" Directly in the avant-garde of the government army. Not...... Aren't the 500 people who were originally trained by the avant-garde of the government army all given by their fathers to carry knives, and these people are drawn out, which is called the Military Intelligence Bureau. The Ministry of Industry has a leather bureau, a pigment bureau, an ordnance bureau, etc., and the ambassador in charge is only nine products, you are a military manager here, just in one name, it doesn't matter if you don't have a grade, I have the final say, you don't need to look at the faces of the cabinet bosses! ”
