Chapter 54 Pacifying the Army
So the man immediately panicked, knelt down and saluted, "Grass people Xia Wei has seen Her Majesty the Empress. ”
"Excuse me. You know that you can't do anything at once, and I know it's hard for you to make a bow and arrow overnight. But bad is bad, and this kind of inferior thing can't be a big scene. As a man, you should face your shortcomings, not run away. ”
"Yes, I know, the grass people know that they are wrong." Xia Wei looked at Sheng Linsheng embarrassedly, and was about to bend down to apologize, but was stopped by Sheng Linsheng, "It's better for men to talk less and do more, what we want is a man who is iron-clad and dares to take responsibility, not a hypocrite with rhetoric!" ”
Xia Wei's face turned red and he couldn't say anything, because from the words of the two of them, he could tell that the two of them were bold people and very strict, and he felt that his idea just now was wrong, and people like them would not do this to deal with a nobody.
Yan Zi looked at the young man and didn't say much, but just gave an affirmative look. This made Xia Wei feel that he was a villain, and he cleaned up the broken bow and arrows on the ground and did it again.
Seeing the young man running so fast, he thought that he had a fighting spirit again, but seeing that the bow and arrow he made just now were too far from normal, it was obvious that he was doing it behind closed doors. It seems that he is also a face-loving person who refuses to ask, and his temper is also a little stubborn, but for the sake of being able to restrain his impulses in the end, Yan Zi decided to observe it for a while, and if it is a material that can be made, it must be promoted.
It seems that there are really few people in the barracks and many brave men. That's it, it's good to be able to obey orders, Yan Zi casually glanced at the big battalions in the army, they are all people who are eager for quick success and quick profit, and they are not calm and can win steadily. It seems that such a person who is led out to fight against thousands of troops and horses needs to be trained.
"Listen up, soldiers!" Yan Zi turned around and walked to the leading platform, facing everyone with a heroic posture: "All the soldiers listen, the rewards and punishments must be clear, and the military prestige must be established!" I see that you are all young and promising pillars, so I pay more attention to it, and I can't let inertia and impetuousness cloud the majestic atmosphere of the barracks. Therefore, I decided to follow the example of the ancient law city gate standing wood to move stones in the military camp! If anyone can move the boulder five miles outside the barracks here and carry the most and hold on for the longest time, I will definitely be rewarded. Those who insist on one month will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, 5,000 taels for 10 months, and 50,000 taels a year! ”
It is her promise with seriousness and majesty, so that everyone is stunned and dare not refute anything. And in order to deepen trust, Sheng Linsheng immediately ordered someone to take a pen and paper to record Yan Zi's words word by word. Then he handed it to Yan Zi for confirmation, and Yan Zi immediately picked up the jade seal and stamped it without looking at it.
Bang, there was a loud sound, and at this moment, the big jade engraved with the dragon statue suddenly had a little more sense of sacredness and existence, because there was a promise under it, and this promise was too important to ignore.
Subsequently, Sheng Sheng Linsheng ordered people to pass down this holy decree to every soldier to see, no one must press the handprint to make a promise, the cowardly immediately expelled from the barracks, see the white paper in front of themselves and the moment they want to press their own handprints, those from the countryside or from the rivers and lakes realized that this is a military camp, the rules here are very strict, and the duties here are so sacred. I suddenly realized that this was not a game, it was just a game, only to find that they had to change their previous attitude, and only then did they find that they were a little afraid of joining the army.
Many people held their hands stained with cinnabar and didn't dare to press down, feeling that they couldn't adapt to such a harsh military camp life, and they were timid before they started, but in the end, no matter what the reason, everyone still pressed their handprints.
This decree was later posted in the most dazzling place somewhere in the barracks, so that everyone could remember it firmly.
After returning from the barracks, Yan Zi did not return to the palace first, but followed Sheng Linsheng back to the General's Mansion. I wanted to chat for a while, but who knew that I suddenly saw a five-year-old child in the house, who was actually playing with a wooden sword, and his immature little hands were playing with a wooden sword, and I don't know if he was playing as a puppet or really practicing swords.
Yan Zi looked very strange, looked at Sheng Linsheng thoughtfully, and said half-jokingly, "General Sheng has a lot of power, and he is becoming more and more decisive in doing things, when did there be an extra child in the house, he even deceived him." ”
When Yan Zi said these words, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in, but he felt that Sheng Linsheng had deceived himself by not telling him, and he felt very uncomfortable.
But Sheng Linsheng doesn't think so, in his opinion, it's just that taking in a homeless child is not a big deal, and it won't be so serious as to report it, not to mention that a big man doesn't have this interest in gossip, and it seems like a mother-in-law to talk too much. So it didn't seem to him to be a problem at all.
At the same time, he was also displeased, and looked at Yan Zi, "What does the emperor mean by this, don't you feel that I am deceiving you!" Is there still a deception between us! ”
Sheng Linsheng was displeased, it can be said that this sentence was full of strong displeasure, undisguised, and the same was very uncomfortable in Yan Zi's heart. Obviously, he didn't tell him first, even if his words were too intense and he used inappropriate words, why did he talk to himself in such a tone, as if it was his own fault.
Yan Zi stared at Sheng Linsheng's eyes in surprise, and looked at him with an unfamiliar gaze. Suddenly, he didn't seem to know his senior brother, why did he talk to himself in such a tone, and felt that the man standing in front of him and questioning him was not a senior brother at all but a stranger.
The same Sheng Linsheng was also uncomfortable by her domineering and unfamiliar eyes, and felt that this woman was becoming more and more unreasonable, but it was not a big deal to accept an apprentice, why did she look at herself like this, as if she had done something wrong. But he's right, that's right, why bow to people.
The two stubbornly stared at each other unyieldingly, their eyes were facing each other, and no one wanted to bow their heads, and they all hoped that the other party would bow their heads first. After staring like this for a long, long time, his eyes began to sting, and he never saw Yan Zi have any thoughts of taking it back.
Sheng Linsheng didn't want to be so aimlessly entangled, so he withdrew his gaze first. Only then did Yan Zi retract his gaze, and walked arrogantly to Sheng Linsheng's side with the attitude of a victor and wanted to ask. However, Sheng Linsheng first turned around to avoid his gaze, and then taught his child to practice swordsmanship, directly ignoring Yan Zi. Yan Zi was angry, but her arrogant posture did not allow her to bow her head, so in the end, neither of them said anything more.
Yan Zi turned around and walked out of the general's mansion mercilessly, Sheng Linsheng secretly glanced at the distant back through the child's hair, and walked so resolutely without hesitation, he really refused to bow his head.
Anger, nameless fire rushed out directly, and it could not be suppressed. A wooden sword snatched from the child's hand and lost his temper, and the child saw the master behind him suddenly so irritable and frightened that the doll cried.
When Ruzhu heard her brother's cry, she immediately came out to take a look, and realized that the general was so angry, thinking that he had quarreled with Her Majesty. But it's all between some big people, she won't understand it, and she doesn't dare to ask, so she quickly takes her brother back to the house.
Yan Zi also rushed back to the palace angrily, she is very special today, her facial features have been distorted, like a bullied little daughter-in-law. Yes, it's this taste, Shangguan Jin who passed by looked at it carefully, maybe she didn't know it herself, but it was clear to outsiders. She showed the mood swings that ordinary women have, it was awkward, her facial features were distorted, her brows were tightly locked, and her mouth was pouting. It's cute, and people can't help but take a few more looks.
Shangguan Jinzhong suddenly smiled, he couldn't imagine that a generation of empresses also had the side of a little woman, and thought that she could understand the righteousness so much that she had no selfish emotions but didn't want to have this side. Maybe mortals can't be selfless.
Shangguan Jinzhong smiled indifferently again, shook his head and looked at himself bitterly in the reflection. This is the water that Fang himself fetched from the river, which is clean and clear. It's a pity that no matter how much you wash it, it can't change the dead air of Fanghua Palace, even if you use the whole basin of water, you can't change this fact. No is nothing, the facts can never be changed, just like Yan Zi, no matter how spotless the surface is, it is inevitable that a woman should have a little emotion. No matter how much he pretends to be like himself, he can't avoid invisible pressure, and his fate is no longer up to him.
Thinking about it like this, I felt that I was a little connected with Yan Zi, and I couldn't help but want to go and see what this woman would be doing at the moment.
In the dormitory, the palace maid reported to Shangguan Jin to ask to see him. Yan Zi was angry, and he was worried that no one could vent, why didn't he make good use of it since he threw himself into the net, hooked his mouth and laughed evilly, and immediately ordered someone to summon him.
Shangguan Jinzhong came in with a smile, not knowing what would happen in a moment.
"Meet Her Majesty the Empress" is still so polite.
Yan Zi didn't seem very enthusiastic, leaned lazily on the phoenix couch, and glanced at it casually, "Get up." Shangguan Gongzi, why don't you come here to keep your duty in Fanghua Palace? Don't you want to complain to me? ”
Yan Zi glanced at him with disdain, thinking that this kind of man with red lips and white teeth can't do big things, and it's just trivial things to come to tell him, so he doesn't have a good impression of him.
However, Shangguan Jin shook his head heavily, "No, the grass people came here this time to talk to Your Majesty." Seeing that His Majesty was in a hurry, he seemed to have something on his mind. The grass people are ashamed that they can't share their worries and sorrows for you, and it's okay to talk to you and relieve your boredom. ”
"Oh? Don't you think you're too proud of that? Why should the grass people worry about me, do you overestimate yourself or underestimate me? These words seemed very ridiculous to Yan Zi, and the phoenix's eyes were hooked, and the color of disdain and ridicule was fully displayed. The playful look is slightly murderous, making people's hairs stand on end. Shangguan Jinzhong, who was born partially, is not a normal person, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, but he has to face difficulties.
Striding in front of Yan Zi on his own initiative, he was only a fist away from her, nothing more than Yan Zi sitting on the phoenix couch, and he was half-kneeling in front of the couch, raising his head and looking up at Yan Zi. "Your Majesty doesn't have anyone to talk to, isn't it too depressing to hold everything in your heart. Although the grass people can't share their worries and solve problems, it's still more than enough to be a listener, doesn't Your Majesty believe it? ”
