After the death of his parents in his previous life, Xu Xun once joined the army, after all, the enemy was powerful at that time, but he couldn't put his hand into the army to find trouble with him as a soldier. At that time, what he hated most was the queue and housekeeping, but now he has to admit that it is this most annoying and boring training, but it is the one that can hone the atmosphere of the military camp the most. After more than half a month, the young soldiers who were like a mass of scattered sand at the beginning have gradually revealed a bit of posture, and even the twenty or thirty people who have been newly added have not been left behind.

After lunch that day, it was the nap time for the young army as usual -- for those who were soldiers in these years, taking a lunch break was always just a luxury habit of the wealthy, how could ordinary people have such leisure? But Xu Xun had to insist on doing so, Wang Shouren couldn't afford to delay it for half an hour, plus the soldiers were also full of energy after the lunch break and afternoon exercises, so they didn't have to fight. Xu Xun persuaded him to go to the lunch break together, but he was willing to listen, only saying that he had never taken a nap in the Criminal Department and Military Department, and that he was young and had trained his muscles and bones, so at noon, he pulled Xu Xun and five hundred households to talk about the art of war and set up the formation, which was just not in good spirits. However, just as he was talking about rising, he was holding a teacup and teapot for example, when a man burst in angrily.

"I'm!"

Wang Shouren has been dealing with Zhu Houzhao for the past few days, and he is used to the surname of this Zhang Xiaohou, but every time he sees people entering without telling him like this, he always feels a headache, and he can't help but talk about the tutor of Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling. And several other hundred households did not dare to comprehend the temper of this Shouning Hou Shizi, and they smeared oil on the soles of their feet as soon as they confessed. Only Xu Xun stepped forward with a smile and moved the chair for Zhu Hou.

"Little Hou Ye, are you angry with Mr. Xixi at home again?"

"If yes!"

Zhu Houzhao clenched his little fist and slammed it heavily on the table, and then hummed: "Today, a military report from Shaanxi Province said that the little prince of Tatar has been on the border again!" Those can't feed the dog Tartars, they know to come to disturb them all the time, and when I grow up, I will lead the army to destroy the fuck! ”

It was the first time Xu Xun heard such swear words coming out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth, and he was stunned for a while, however, when he thought that there was another smoke of gunpowder at the border pass, he couldn't help but gradually sink his face. And Wang Shouren's face became even more solemn, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "Little Marquis, how many people have been dispatched by the Little Prince's Department, and where are the soldiers now?" Did the court decide what to do? ”

"I don't know where many people have gone, it's this person who responds to anger!" Wang Shouren didn't ask, but after asking, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table again, and then stood up angrily, "Father...... My father told me that the emperor was going to send troops, but those bosses didn't let them one by one, especially that Liu Daxia, and turned out all the things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, saying that General Zhu and Miao Kui led the troops together to go out to war, falsely reported their war exploits and disturbed the civilians, wasted countless money but didn't make a name for themselves, and said that this time as long as you send someone who is able to go over to help the military salary, and the rest will be handed over to the guards on all sides, what is the matter! ”

Zhu Houzhao has been messing around here these days, and finally changed his tune very quickly, and Wang Shouren didn't notice any clues. He tightened his brows for a while, then shook his head and said, "Little Marquis, although those elders are too conservative, they are not completely unreasonable. Thinking that when Baoguo Gong and Miao Gonggong led troops to Yansui Ningxia, the Tartars plundered the border, and the generals of Yansui Town in Ningxia did not dare to fight, and although they said that they brought a large army, they were also cowardly, and in the end they recovered thousands of livestock, killed dozens of Tartars who fell behind, and led the troops to disturb the people, but they were more harmful than the Tartars. In comparison, after spending 1.8 million yuan in military salaries to get such a result, the bosses naturally would not approve of sending troops. ”

"Who said that?" Zhu Houzhao immediately stretched his face, and said angrily, "Don't bully me for not knowing state affairs, I remember Miao Kui told me that there were more than 10,000 meritorious soldiers in that battle, and in the end, more than 200 were promoted to the emperor, and the rest were rewarded." If he really killed dozens of Tartars, how could the emperor give such a reward? It is clear that there are people in the court who are jealous of the virtuous and can ......"

"Little Hou Ye doesn't believe it?" Wang Shouren sighed, and said with a worried face, "The little marquis didn't believe it, and it's no wonder that the emperor didn't believe it at that time." It was also when I passed the Juyong Pass that I saw a few homeless people who had come from Ningxia, and I heard how miserable the situation was back then. It is said that they drove away the Tartars, but they were coerced north by the Tartars, not to mention thousands, thousands of livestock were recovered, and the livestock that could be plundered had already exceeded 10,000! In addition, there are even people in the army who want to kill border people and take risks, even if the military department records merit extremely strictly, most of these people know through it, but what about the dead people? There is a saying in Ningsui, if you are not good in your previous life, you will be born in Ningsui; If you are not a Tartar slave, you are a ghost! ”

Xu Xun came from Jinling, where singing and dancing were peaceful, and Zhu Houzhao grew up in a deep palace that didn't know about the world, and it was the first time he heard such a scene. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was still a little suspicious, Xu Xun thought of the image of Miao Kui he saw, and he didn't know what was going on in the previous battle, so he didn't speak rashly, but he only figured out Miao Kui's purpose in his heart.

I'm afraid that this big eunuch who has led soldiers twice is so goodwill, so that he can be released to lead the troops again! The mighty power of the right to kill people outside the expedition cannot be comprehended by those who deceive me in the deep palace!

"How is this possible, how dare Miao Kui be so bold...... Isn't he afraid that the emperor will pursue him? ”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao standing up like this, Xu Xun didn't know if this master wanted to question the imperial horse eunuch immediately. He had a good impression of Miao Kui, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, but now that Wang Shouren clearly wanted to prove that Miao Kui was a meritorious, he was a little hesitant. He was hesitating when a man suddenly came in from outside.

"Little Hou Ye, Miao Gonggong is too famous, the last battle of Yansui in Gansu was indeed greasy, everyone knows about it. The emperor also believes in him more than those elders because of his deep service for many years, and that's it. ”

Wang Shouren didn't expect someone to overhear the three of them, and they suddenly interjected, and immediately frowned. However, the person who came said this, and said deeply: "Xu commands the king to forgive the guilt, I am Zhang Yong of the East Palace Catering Bureau, because I have studied military affairs for a while since I was a child, so I was transferred by the emperor to follow the little marquis to Xiyuan to observe and train the soldiers. I shouldn't have rushed in to interject, I really can't bear the surname, don't blame the two of you! ”

Zhang Yong knew the most among several eunuchs, and Xu Xun knew it before, but at this moment, when he saw someone stabbing Miao Kui in the back, he tasted a little jealousy of his peers. It's just that he and Zhang Yong still have a little friendship, so he originally planned to say a few words for Miao Kui, but he immediately changed his mind and planned to take another look.

"Little Hou Ye, is Grandpa Miao cheating, I might as well make an analogy. If a group of robbers suddenly rob your house and run away, and you offer a high reward for people to catch the robbers, and someone takes your bounty and takes people to chase them, and not only runs away from the robbers, but also kills and injures a lot of your tenants, then how should this matter end? ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Yong say this: "It's all like this, can it end?" ”

Although Wang Shouren was annoyed that Zhang Yong listened to the corner, he was on his side, and he was sincere in his repeated accusations, so he didn't care about himself. At this moment, he understood what Zhang Yong meant, so he said beside him: "They don't dare to fight hard with the robbers, of course, they only dare to kill a few people with their tails, and then push the dead and wounded tenants on the heads of those robbers, and then come back with a little property that the robbers have stolen from the past to repay their merits." The host didn't know, but of course they succeeded with a little ingenuity. ”

"This ...... That's really ...... Bastard asshole bastard...... I'm going to tell the emperor! ”

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he smoked, but at this time, Zhang Yong, who had just come in at the critical moment and smashed a key brick, stepped forward and comforted him softly: "Little Hou Ye, it's really not worth ...... to be angry with people like Miao Kui."

"Why is it not worth it, he is defeated...... It's my uncle's family that is defeated! ”

Wang Shouren was dumbfounded by this fierce remark, and Zhang Yong, who was just easy to seize the opportunity to vent his personal anger, was a little panicked. After all, if Zhu Houzhao really ran to the ears of Emperor Hongzhi to complain, it would be good to bring down Miao Kui, but if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't be unlucky to turn back? So, he immediately looked at Xu Xun with his eyes, hoping that this person could help make peace. Xu Xun didn't want to lift the lid before the matter was clear, so he immediately stopped him.

"Little Marquis, you have also heard the question, if the emperor asks you for evidence, what do you say? If you have the opportunity in the future, you will go to the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty to take a look, don't look at the high-sounding scenes on the official face, just look at the real world, at that time, it is much more reliable than just listening to these hearsay. ”

"Xu Xun, I love to hear what you say. Well, that's it! ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily almost without thinking about it, and then pointed at Wang Shouren and Xu Xun and said: "At that time, you two will accompany me, and I want to see if the future is prosperous or peaceful!" ”

Although Wang Shouren lifted the lid of the year, he heard Xu Xun's words and asked Zhu Houzhao to put the matter aside for the time being, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he was silent after all. However, when he heard Zhu Houzhao's sentence of whitewashing the peace, he first changed color, and finally took a deep breath unconsciously.

That's right, it's whitewashing. Those who have not been out of the capital will not know at all that this world is far from being a peaceful and prosperous world!

Xu Xun didn't care about this whitewashed evaluation of Taiping. In his opinion, no matter what era, this peaceful and prosperous era is relatively speaking, no matter how peaceful the world is, even if it is the small people at the foot of the Son of Heaven, why don't they need to worry about the overturning of the government? Even a few hundred years later, the same officials are walking all over the ground, and the ant people are not as good as dogs! Therefore, he immediately nodded and said, "Little Marquis, you have to talk and talk, and you can't leave the two of us when the time comes!" ”

"This little marquis speaks, of course, it is difficult to chase the horse after a word!" Zhu Houzhao smiled proudly, suddenly remembered the famous scene in the play, immediately added another sentence, and stretched out his hand, "If you don't believe it, high-five you swear!" ”

Wang Shouren stretched out his hand when he saw Xu Xun without saying a word, first stunned for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter. He didn't know why he believed Zhu Houzhao's words from his heart, which should be a joke, but without saying a word, he stretched out his hand, and the three slaps slapped each other, but in the end, the three hands were tightly clenched.

"One day, this little marquis must go all over the rivers and mountains to see what the world is like!" Zhu Houzhao said this proudly, and suddenly added triumphantly, "As long as we are united, why can't we step on the Tartars?" ”

Looking at Xu Xun and Wang Shouren, and then looking at Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yong on the side couldn't help but have a ridiculous feeling. This prince ...... Is it serious?
