People are in good spirits when they are happy, but it is an appropriate adjective.

Even the most eyeless soldier in the battalion also noticed that the general seemed to be in a good mood in recent days. This kind of goodness is not something that can be seen at a glance, after all, the general has always been expressionless, and he can rarely guess his mood through his expression.

But in the past few days, the general is still expressionless, but anyone with eyes can feel the joy in him.

Is something good happening?

Even the three sons, who have been following Han Yunxiao, don't know what happy events their own general has encountered?

But the power of gossip is so tempting that people can't help but always pick it up.

"General." The third son leaned over to Han Yunxiao with the bowl, and asked with a shy face, "Is there anything good?" Did you give us military expenses? Or is it time to give a bounty again? ”

Han Yunxiao didn't laugh at the third son for looking like he had fallen into the eyes of money, although the eldest husband should make meritorious contributions, but the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if he wants to rely on being a soldier to establish a career, I am afraid that most of them will have to give his life. But what if you don't do it, although this dynasty does not have military service, it still has to be conscripted every year.

The emperor only saw that Xiyan's army was getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't care how the people below recruited them. Regardless of the heavy military service below, many ordinary people have been ruined and killed because of this.

In this case, there are even fewer people who take the initiative to join the army.

Defending the country? The people, who can't even eat, don't have the heart to think about this. What they hope for every day is that the weather will be good and that the harvest in the fields will not be affected.

And those who join the military must naturally not be cowardly, otherwise you will be the one who loses your life on the battlefield. There are also people who are lucky enough to have never encountered war in their lives and have been able to return to their hometowns completely. But these people are only the smallest part of countless soldiers.

Not to let himself lose his life, and to bring back the silver to support his family, this is already the norm in the army of Xiyan.

And many of those who are big officials are sent to the army for training by military generals. They are different from their backgrounds, so naturally they will not start as small soldiers.

Like Sanzi, who fought in the sea of corpses and blood, does he care about silver? What he cares about is whether his family can live better with his life. Otherwise, he would have lost his life on the battlefield.

That became a military man...... Is he glorious?

It is glorious, because for whatever purpose, he has paid for the country after all.

Han Yunxiao wants to change this situation.

Although these soldiers defended the country, because of the narrowness of the Son of Heaven, the imperial court repeatedly cut military spending. But conscription orders continued, and hundreds of thousands of people were still put into the army every year. The amount of money that so many people can get is a drop in the bucket, and they can't support themselves at all, let alone support their families.

Even so, once a soldier dies, the pension he gets is delayed again and again.

The families of the dead soldiers waited for a pension, waiting for the court's commendation, but they waited and waited, waited for the ridicule of the people around them, and waited for death to get their share of the silver. Even, some people don't even want to return the bones of their loved ones.

After Han Yunxiao accepted the Huwei Army, he began to rectify military discipline. This situation is almost extinct in the Huwei army, but it still occurs in other armies.

As a general, he can only do his best to keep them from being bullied.

"It's not." The words of the third son made Han Yunxiao fall into thoughts, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

Several months have passed since the Xiyan army won the battle and was ordered by the Son of Heaven to be stationed on the outskirts of Beijing. It was early summer when they came, and now it was late autumn, and in another month, it was going to be winter. But the imperial court has not moved for a long time, and it is not known whether the Huwei army will stay in the capital forever.

Because the Huwei army is stationed in Beijing, it has caused dissatisfaction among the Beijing garrison, and they have had several conflicts with the forbidden army in private.

Skirmishes are harmless, it is the age of blood and strength, and it is nothing to have a more radical personality.

Han Yunxiao was just worried, once the skirmish expanded, it would easily cause disaster.

And that's not what he wants to see.

"Yes...... the third son was a little disappointed, but the speed of the rice did not slow down. That...... Boss, General...... Why do you look so happy? ”

Qin Xianghuai's image was not too stable, Han Yunxiao hesitated, and said, "You'll know after a while." ”

Before lunch was eaten, a eunuch came outside the camp.

The young little eunuch had a raw face, and when he saw him, he said with trepidation: "The slave is here to spread His Majesty's will......"

After a short time, Han Yunxiao returned to the military tent with the holy decree in his hand.

"Boss?" The third son looked at Minghuang's holy decree, a little confused, and a little expectant. "Can we go back to the northwest?"

Han Yunxiao shook his head, his eyebrows tightened: "Your Majesty wants me to enter the palace to accept the reward." ”

Although the news had already come, Han Yunxiao was not interested. He sat in this position not for power, but for a good future for his brothers.

But he doesn't know whether this decree will be good or bad for him.

"Of course it's a good thing!" After hearing this, Qin Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty wants to make you a prince, which means that you have a plan for you." In this case, why not take advantage of this identity to ask for more benefits. I know you don't care about money, but everybody likes it. Your brethren also need better treatment, and the benefits of this status are a great thing. ”

"What's more, if you become a prince, you will have a fief. If you have a territory, you can do whatever you want. It's better than staying under the nose of the old emperor, and you have to be careful in everything. Even if you sneeze, you have to weigh it again. ”

There is a sentence that Qin Xiang has never put on the surface, and the old emperor has already had murderous intentions towards Han Yunxiao. If you don't do it at this time, you just have a heart for Han Yunxiao.

Qin Xiang hid his worries and began to talk about today's interesting things.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. 139

Early in the morning, colorful flags are flying over the city.

The high colorful flags are hung on the city wall, waving in the wind, which is very eye-catching.

Xiyan attaches great importance to festivals, and there are not many festivals in this era, and there are only a few that are worth celebrating. The Mid-Autumn Festival is to worship the moon god and pray for a good day in the coming year. This was undoubtedly one of the most important days in the ancient period, when the development of agriculture was valued.

Before Qin Xiang got up, he could already smell the smell of cakes.

There is no shortage of mooncakes at home, but Chef Hu specially baked one so that everyone can eat it while it is hot.

When Qin Xiang was washing, he asked, "What about the children?" ”

Pepe covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "The little master and the little lady are waiting in the kitchen." ”

If it is true, the most interested in pastries in the world is always children.

Although Han Ziyan is a young man, it is difficult to resist the child's heart, and when he sees delicious snacks, he can't take his eyes off it at all. He was like this, and Han Tongtong was almost squatting by the oven.

"It's not going to be done." Chef Hu had a pair of big hands and gently took her aside. "The oven is so hot, be careful of burning."

was afraid that Han Tongtong would not listen, and deliberately scared her: "If you are going to be burned, you will have a scar on your face." ”

Han Tongtong tilted his head, thought about it seriously and said, "That'...... Will no one like it, so you can only go to be the king of the mountain? ”

Chef Hu was speechless, and she didn't know how to answer for a long time.

At this time, Qin Xiang happened to come in and rescued Chef Hu from the fire and water.

"Tongtong." She said: "How can the story written in the book be confused with reality. ”

"But Daddy is as good as it is written in the book." The little man puffed up his chest and said proudly. "They all say Daddy is a big hero!"

Qin Xiang squatted down and patiently explained to her: "Because Daddy, he was originally a big hero, not because he became a big hero after being written into the book." But the king of the mountain you are talking about, it was the author of the script who created such a character in order to highlight the story. ”

With Han Tongtong's small head, he still can't understand such a complicated conversation. But it didn't prevent her from being able to understand what Qin Xiang meant.

"Mother is saying that the king of the mountain is a villain?"

What does Tongtong think? The king of the mountain looks very powerful, he robs the rich and helps the poor to help the poor, so is he a good person? ”

Han Tongtong wanted to nod, but seeing Qin Xiang's serious expression, he was not so sure.

"That'...... Tongtong didn't know either. She flattened her mouth, frustrated that she couldn't answer the question.

Qin Xiang didn't like children before, because he hadn't had much contact with them, and most of his concepts of children came from the Internet and the description of bear children in society. Of course, the children she comes into contact with are also bear child types.

This also caused her to dislike children and not want to have children by herself. However, the two little groups in the family were well-behaved and cute, which made Qin Xiang suddenly feel the joy of being a mother.

Without wrapping the child in diapers or breastfeeding, you can harvest two sensible little dumplings, which is probably the happiest thing in the world.

And now, she is pregnant, and her heart is full of maternal love, and she finally understands the meaning of cubs being the cutest creatures in the world.

Children are so cute!

Especially a child who is well-behaved and sensible like a little angel.

"Where did the king of the mountain get the money? Did you snatch it from someone else? ”

Han Tongtong nodded.

Qin Xiang said again: "The rich people who were robbed by him to help the poor, did they do wrong? Is each of them a bad guy in the Fish Country? ”

Han Tongtong shook her head, because she wasn't sure either.

"Since he is not sure if they are bad people or not, the king of the mountain will use their silver, is he a bad guy? Moreover, he also killed people. Just because the scholar was so disrespectful to him, he killed him, right? ”

Han Tongtong's little face turned red, and he nodded seriously: "My mother is right, he is a bad guy." So, becoming the king of the mountain is not the right thing at all. ”

"Ouch, we're so good." Qin Xiang pinched her little face and hugged her gently.

Han Tongtong was embarrassed to be said, quietly glanced at his brother, carefully put himself into Qin Xiang's arms, and rubbed it with satisfaction.

Han Ziyan, who was ignored on the side, snorted coldly.

He's a man, so he doesn't care about that.

"Ziyan, come here." Qin Xiang beckoned and said with a smile on his face: "After eating snacks, my mother and father will take you out to play." While there is still some time for the dim sum to be baked, go and let Shochiku pick out the clothes for you to go out. ”

As soon as he heard that he could go out to play, even Han Ziyan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't wait to say, "Han Tongtong, hurry up." ”

With that, he ran out of the door first.

Han Tongtong, who was left behind, hurriedly opened his short legs and kept shouting: "Brother, brother, wait for me." ”
