Chapter 220: The Prince
Yin Xuan paused and said, "I want to go down to practice." ”
Nie Qing smiled, is this unwilling to answer her question, or is this kid unwilling to accept her as a mother in his heart?
Nie Qingwan said: "After I canonized the crown prince in the past dynasties, the prince will move to the prince's mansion to live, this is the royal rule, the prince's mansion where the emperor lived before was assigned to the Yin family, you can't live there, so you have to build a new one, this new prince's mansion, one is for your decency, and the other is also for those small countries to see, you awarded the crown prince, but don't build the prince's mansion for you, what do the monarchs of small countries think, I do want to send troops, but the date of the army can't let them know, understand?" ”
Yin Xuan just didn't want to live separately from her, after listening to her words, with Yin Xuan's smart little head, how could she not figure out what she meant, in her eyes, the biggest role of building the prince's mansion was not for him to live, but to confuse the eyes of the monarchs of small countries.
Yin Xuan said: "To build such a big mansion, can't it be built in a moment and a half?" ”
Nie Qingwan said: "At least half a year." ”
Yin Xuan said: "So you will make the monarchs of small countries mistakenly think that you will send troops in half a year?" ”
Nie Qingwan said, "Hmm. ”
Yin Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Then it's up to you." ”
Nie Qingwan didn't care about him, let him go to training, she convened the ministers to discuss the matter of building the prince's mansion, as well as the matter of conferring the crown prince, canonizing the prince is a big matter, there are many details to prepare before and after, and there are a lot of processes, the ministers who have been summoned have gone through three dynasties, there are old ministers who have gone through two dynasties, and now the ministers of the humerus, for the ceremony, the ministers have a mirror in their hearts, that is, the canonization time is still to be agreed.
So the first thing that the people in the study room decided was the time of canonization.
It's March, and there is a good day in March for the dragon to raise its head, but it's already over, so the ministers have agreed on a schedule of April and May.
There is a traditional good day in these two months, Qingming in April and Duanyang in May, Qingming Festival does not sound like a good day, but change your thinking to understand tomb sweeping, that is a good day, live with the dead, with the living, Duanyang in Duanyang is the meaning of the beginning, just in line with the time when the prince ascended the throne.
Therefore, the ministers discussed for a long time and finally decided on this time.
Of course, May was also set because it was about to be the end of March, and the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince in April was too rushed.
Nie Qingwan had no opinion, and once the time was determined, she asked the ministers of various departments to prepare, and the ministers should get up and leave.
This month, when preparing for the crown prince's conferral ceremony, Nie Qingwan also summoned Yin Tianye and Chen Wenqi, as well as Nie Xifeng and Nie Buwei, since two years ago after going to the land of East Hammer with the Queen Mother, these four people came back and were placed in the official position of military generals, but the official position is not high, basically they are adjutants, but in fact, none of their adjutants have a regular general, that is to say, Nie Qingwan found an irregular army to bring them to them.
Why bring them, the four of them know in their hearts, training.
Train to be your own soldiers, and train to be strong soldiers who can cooperate with you.
And these soldiers are different from the previous 2,000 soldiers, when there were only 2,000, but now there are 20,000.
One person is 20,000, four people are 80,000, these 80,000 soldiers are the queen mother to use for real conquest, the queen mother wants to destroy the small countries Yes, but she didn't want to use the male tiger and dragon soldiers that Da Yin really entrenched, because in her heart, the most dangerous place is not the front line, but to defend the country, so the real strong soldiers will be used to defend the country, and what she wants to bring out is the emergency army trained by weak soldiers.
However, fighting a war is not a child's play, especially this time, so Nie Qingwan asked Ren Ji to summon these four people after the ministers left, and told them privately about the danger of future wars, so that they each knew what to expect.
Among the four people, except for Chen Wenqi, who is relatively young, the other three are all over fifteen years old, showing the coldness and sharpness of a man, whether it is Yin Tianye's ability, or Nie Xifeng and Nie Buwei's ability, Nie Qingwan is very relieved, she is not afraid of sending the three of him out at all, and the three of him will have an accident.
But Chen Wenqi is different.
After Nie Qingwan explained some things, she let Yin Tianye, Nie Xifeng and Nie Buwei go out, leaving Chen Wen alone.
Chen Wenqi looked at her, when he was six years old, he saw her for the first time, she appeared in front of her like a fairy in the snow, took away his heart, and now looking at her, she is noble and beautiful, she has begun to show the charm of a woman, and her alluring posture almost makes him difficult to take his eyes off.
It's just that she is the queen mother, and he can only follow, but he can't like it.
Chen Wenchu lowered his eyes again and said, "Does the Queen Mother have something special to explain to me?" ”
Nie Qingwan said: "I don't have any special explanation, I just want to say that this expedition is not as good as last time, and you may die, does your family agree to let you go?" ”
Chen Wenqi said: "Since I was chosen by the Queen Mother, my path is the path of the Queen Mother, life and death are impermanent, let alone on the battlefield, the Queen Mother is worried that I will die in battle, because I don't have much trust in my ability, you didn't say this to Yin Tianye, Nie Xifeng and Nie Buwei just now." ”
Nie Qingwan smiled: "They are more than twice as big as you, I don't worry about them too much, it has nothing to do with trusting who is strong and who is not." ”
Chen Wen pouted: "Then it's not necessarily that you are worried that Yin Xuan will die in battle, he is only one year older than me, if you want to say small, he is also small." ”
Nie Qingwan choked, she really didn't worry about Yin Xuan, because she had tested Yin Xuan in all aspects through many aspects, his ability and adaptability were enough to let him get out on the battlefield, plus Yin Xuan had the Heavenly Son Sword to protect him, the last thing she was worried about was him.
Nie Qingwan said, "Don't think about it, I have never doubted your ability. ”
Chen Wenchu snorted lightly, didn't want to listen to her anymore, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else?" Without me, I would have gone to training. ”
Nie Qingwan looked at him.
Chen Wenqi also looked at her and said, "Don't underestimate the child, you are also a child." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Nie Qingwan said "belch", and when Chen Wenshu walked out of the door, Nie Qingwan blinked, a little wanted to laugh, she asked Ren Ji and Nie Yin: "Does this kid think I discriminated against him?" ”
Nie Yin smiled: "It's hard to say, what you just said really meant to be discriminatory." ”
Ren Ji said: "Queen Mother, you don't know, this man's self-esteem, especially the self-esteem of a martial arts man, the most obvious thing he shows is that others doubt his strength. ”
Nie Qingwan was innocent: "I'm purely worried about him." ”
Ren Ji said: "Another level of worry is not believing in his strength, if you believe in his strength, how can you worry." ”
Nie Qingwan pouted: "I'm still worried that it's wrong." ”
Nie Yin said: "Fortunately, Chen Wenqi is not really angry with you, if you really want to use him, don't 'favor one over the other' and take care of him in other ways, otherwise, he will doubt himself that he really can't do it, in that case, a good general will be abolished by you." ”
Nie Qingwan sighed and responded, "I know, aunt." ”
Nie Yin stretched out her hand, rubbed her head with a smile, and said, "Okay, don't be busy today, the weather is good, let's go out and play, it's been closed for a winter, go play on the swings, right?" ”
When Nie Qingwan heard this, she jumped off the chair with cheers and ran out to play on the swing.
Chen Wenqi left the study of the Ci'en Palace, he was really angry, he was going to go back to the martial arts field where he was training, but the ghost made the footsteps of the god turn around and ran to the martial arts field where Yin Xuan was training.
When Yin Xuan saw him and asked the soldiers to practice on their own, he walked up to Chen Wenqi and asked him, "Come to me?" ”
Chen Wenqi said: "I'm not very comfortable, accompany me to go for a ride around the horse." ”
Yin Xuan smiled: "Uncomfortable? ”
He looked him up and down, then reached out, pressed his shoulder, turned him around, glanced at him again, then turned around, looked at his face, and said, "You're in good shape, what's wrong?" ”
Chen Wen didn't want to cut him, only slapped his hand away, and said, "Do you want to go?" ”
Yin Xuan said, "Now? ”
Chen Wenqi said: "Now." ”
Yin Xuan sighed, looked at him twice, waved back with a smile, called Gan Cheng over, commanded a few words, and then went to lead his horse.
Chen Wenqi also went back to lead his horse, and then the two went to the racecourse.
Yin Xuan's feelings for Nie Qingwan at this time, he didn't understand at all, but what kind of feelings Chen Wenqi had for Nie Qingwan, he knew very well in his heart, some people were precocious, some people were late, some people had high IQ and low EQ, some people had high EQ and low IQ, and some people had high EQ and high IQ.
Undoubtedly, Yin Xuan's IQ is high and his EQ is also high, but he seems to be a little dull to such a thing as love.
And Chen Wenqi is undoubtedly a person with high IQ and high emotional intelligence, compared to Yin Xuan, he has a reckless temperament, plays with little and frivolous skin, has less forbearance and calmness, and is extremely sensitive to such things as feelings.
But whether it is Yin Xuan's calm and understanding, or Chen Wenqi's recklessness and keenness, neither of them will confide in each other in the matter of treating Nie Qingwan.
In fact, Yin Xuan is not very comfortable today, he is not willing to part with Nie Qingwan, but as soon as the prince's mansion is built, he will most likely have to move over, in that case, he will not be able to see her every day, let alone accompany her to eat every day.
But he can't tell Chen Wen about this.
Chen Wenqi is the same, he is uncomfortable because the girl he likes doubts his ability, if she is just the queen mother, he will not be so angry, but she is in his heart, not just the queen mother.
Therefore, when they went to the horse farm, both of them flicked their horsewhips as if they were venting, and the 'war' was in full swing.
After a lap, the two arrived at the same time and were tied.
Chen Wen smiled, let go of the horse's stiffness, put his legs on the horse's neck, leaned back, his little head rested on the front of the horse's buttocks, he pillowed his hands and looked at the sky above his head with a smile.
Yin Xuan sat on the horse, walked around him, and reminded him: "Be careful of falling." ”
Chen Wenqi said: "My horse will not throw me down. ”
Yin Xuan laughed, deliberately kicked his horse's belly, but the horse bird didn't bird him, Yin Xuan laughed: "I really didn't react." ”
Chen Wenqi said: "This is my unique equestrian training, you can't learn it." ”
Yin Xuan teased him: "This is unique, it will be used on the battlefield when the time comes, and your horse will be able to carry you back if it is defeated." ”
Chen Wenqi was angry: "You don't even look down on me." ”
Yin Xuan said: "I don't underestimate you, no matter who it is, it is impossible to win often, the battlefield is changing rapidly, who knows what will happen, you are very good at training equestrians, you can teach me, I am defeated, at least my horse can carry me back." ”
Chen Wen smiled and looked at him: "Did you still think that you would be defeated?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "You are inferior to me in this regard, I will imagine the defeat situation in various scenes, take those military books as an example, every time I see an example of victory, I will use my own mind to first do an analysis of the defeat situation, and then see how it was defeated, so that I can avoid the real battlefield, I am really defeated." ”
Chen Wenqi said: "You have a good idea. ”
Yin Xuan said: "Well, you can also try it when you read the book next time." ”
Chen Wenqi said: "I hate reading all the time. ”
Yin Xuan smiled: "If you can change what you hate into something you like, your progress is not small." ”
Chen Wen pursed his lips and thought, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, could I sit at the desk for several hours? Thinking of the way he sat at his desk in pain for her, Chen Wenqi smiled again.
This is the path he chose by himself, maybe it was not his intention when he entered the palace at the beginning, but later he saw the queen mother, and it was his own choice whether to stay or not.
If he chooses, he will not regret it.
And if he stays, he will not let himself be left behind, let alone let the Queen Mother be disappointed in him.
Chen Wenqi knew what he was lacking in, so after he fought that, he studied very hard, and in the past two years, how many military books others have read, he has also read as much.
Thinking like this, she suddenly didn't feel uncomfortable, she suspected that he was not capable enough, so it would be good for him to prove it to her, why be angry.
It is better to improve yourself if you have vitality.
Chen Wen sat up suddenly, pulled up the reins of the horse, and said to Yin Xuan: "Go back, I'll teach you how to train the horse tomorrow." ”
Yin Xuan smiled, seeing that he was suddenly in good spirits, although he didn't understand why, he still nodded 'um'.
So the two went back and went to train their own troops.
At dinner in the evening, Yin Xuan told Nie Qingwan about Chen Wen's search for him to go to the horse today, and said: "Chen Wen is indeed very good at training horses, I think he can teach other soldiers." ”
Nie Qingwan raised her eyebrows: "He asked you to go around the horse today?" ”
Yin Xuan said: "Well, I said it was uncomfortable, but I saw that he was in a bad mood, so I went with him." ”
Nie Qingwan silently 'oh', thinking, that kid is really angry in her heart because of what she said, Nie Qingwan laughed, the current boy, really can't say it.
Nie Qingwan said: "If you think you can, go and do it, and you can arrange the time yourself." ”
Yin Xuan glanced up at her and whispered, "Okay." ”
This good word was settled, and the two of them ate quietly again.
After a while, Nie Qingwan said: "Today, I have discussed with the ministers the time to confer the crown prince, it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and there is still more than a month to make court clothes, although you are growing fast now, but it should not grow much in a month, so tomorrow morning, I will ask someone from the Internal Affairs Office to come and measure your size, and start making court clothes and prince clothes and crown clothes, tomorrow morning, you don't go to military training, come to me." ”
The corners of Yin Xuan's mouth hooked a smile and said, "Oh." ”
Suddenly he was very happy, and after eating, he asked her, "Do you want to take a walk?" ”
Seeing that he was full of interest, Nie Qingwan glanced at him with a smile, did not refuse, propped up her arms and said, "It's okay to walk." ”
Yin Xuan then went very diligently to get her a cloak, came over to drape her, he stood in front of her, tied her with a cloak, he was taller than her, although she was thirteen years old, he was only ten years old, but he was obviously taller than her, standing in front of her, he looked down at her.
A smile melted into the corner of Nie Qingwan's eyes, looking at the way he seriously tied her cloak, thinking that Nie Yin and Ren Ji were not wrong, although this child did not admit her as a mother, she was really attentive to her, and she was a filial child, so in the future, the country would be handed over to him, and if she wanted to leave, he would agree.
Taking the cloak and wearing the cloak is Nie Yin's work, and now that Yin Xuan has done it, Nie Yin went to get the palace lamp.
Ren Ji also went to pick up a palace lamp and followed not far away.
On the night at the end of March, although the moon was bright, it was also cold, fortunately, Yin Xuan was not afraid of the cold, Nie Qingwan was full of food and drink and wore such a thick cloak, and it was not cold, so the two of them walked along the arched bridges or corridors or gravel roads inside and outside the Ci'en Palace with great interest, chatting about Yin Xuan's military training, chatting about Nie Qingwan's arrangements for going to war, chatting about the planning and construction of the prince's mansion, and chatting about conferring the crown prince, in short, there are many topics that can be discussed.
The farther and farther she went, when she came back, Nie Qingwan was tired and didn't want to leave.
Yin Xuan almost didn't think about it, he reached out and hugged her, and whispered, "I'll carry you back." ”
Nie Qingwan said, "I want my aunt to hug me." ”
Nie Yin smiled and said: "You are tired of me, just have Yin Xuan to hug you, Yin Xuan knows that he feels sorry for me, your niece is not as good as him." ”
Nie Qingwan said: "He is still young, how can he move me to walk such a long way." ”
Ren Ji smiled and said, "Then I'll hug it." ”
As he spoke, he was about to hand the palace lamp to Nie Yin and let her hold it first.
Yin Xuan listened to their conversation, and saw that Ren Ji handed out the palace lamp, he immediately hugged the girl in his arms tightly, tiptoed a little, and flew up in the surprised expressions of the three people, and went towards the dormitory where Nie Qingwan was resting.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he didn't enter, he wanted to send her back to the bedroom directly, but the queen mother's bedroom, he never entered, and he also knew that he couldn't get in, except for Ren Ji and Nie Yin, she rarely entered her bedroom.
Yin Xuan had no choice but to put Nie Qingwan at the door of the dormitory, and after Nie Yin and Ren Ji and the two of them rushed back, he left.
The next day, he stayed here with Nie Qingwan all morning, measuring his size, and in the afternoon he went to Chen Wenqi to discuss with him about teaching soldiers to train horses, and then called Yin Tianye and Nie Xifeng, as well as Nie Buwei and Feng Chang, and several people sat there to ask for their own equestrian training, and then learned from each other's strengths, and the whole set of military equestrian training came out, set a time, and uniformly taught the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the fifth day of the fifth month of May has arrived.
The crown prince conferred the great ceremony, but no monarch of a small country came to ask for guilt.
