Time flies.

It's the end of May in a blink of an eye.

There was finally news from Juzhou, saying that although the last prescription was a little slow, the damage was not great, and it only took three to five days, and the effect of the medicine was extremely obvious.

The person was saved, and the medication was gentle and did not cause unnecessary damage.

A man can survive with all his beards and tails.

Those who were infected with the plague in Juzhou finally saw the hope of life.

Lord Liu of the military department can finally put his mind at ease over there.

Hearing the news, Xiao Lin patted his thigh and shouted three times in a row.

After shouting, he began to have a sore tooth again.

Because, this recipe was handed over by Xiao Jihe.

Such a meritorious hero is naturally to be rewarded.

Otherwise, it is the heart of the courtiers who is cold.

And you can't target it too obviously.

After all, the queen has fallen out of favor and lost power, if she is pressing step by step, once the dog jumps off the wall, and now her foundation is unstable, she will definitely suffer.

It's just that how to reward Xiao Jihe is a big problem.

He has now hung up the vacant position of the prince and young master, and if he rewards the real power again, Xiao Linzhi's heart will be unstable.

He finally suppressed it, how could he rise back and respond to his own reasoning.

However, it is not possible not to reward it.

As a result, before Xiao Lin could figure out how to reward Xiao Jihe, the north came to report.

The hussar general, Lord Song, was captured by the enemy.

Now the dragons in the north are leaderless, and the smoke is shouting and provocative, which is very unstable.

In addition to Liangzhou City, five cities were lost in the north.

The situation is very bad!

"Barbarian, barbarian!" Xiao Linzhi's eyes were red.

Song Jinghang, the general of the hussars, is a first-class veteran of leading troops and a veteran of marching and fighting.

But now he was actually captured alive, and the situation is unknown.

Xiao Linzhi's eyes were almost black, and he didn't know what to do.

But do you make peace with Moyan?

Xiao Linzhi was not convinced at all and made peace with the barbarians.

Moreover, such a barbaric nation, once it makes peace, does not know how the lion will open its mouth.

And once peace is made, all of your prestige will be swept away.

Xiao Linzhi wants to prove himself, so he won't make peace easily.

But what if you don't talk about peace?

Western businessmen originally valued literature over military force, and did not attach importance to military generals.

Over the years, there have not been too many generals promoted.

Most of them rely on military merit and can't go to the battlefield again.

It's not so much a reward as a consolation.

At this time, Xiao Linzhi wanted to find a few generals who could lead the troops, but he couldn't find them.

There are courtiers who propose this and that.

However, most of the people who were proposed were dismissed for various reasons.

Until the end, someone proposed to let the prince of Nancheng Wangfu, Xiao Lian and Lord Xiao go into battle.

In the past, Lord Xiao was also a good hand at killing the enemy.

After Xiao Linzhi ascended to the throne, he recalled him to Liangdu, and after being sealed as a vacant lieutenant of the fourth grade, he was idle in Liangdu and did nothing.

The other four-rank Du Wei Xu still has some real power in his hands, and Xiao Lianhe doesn't have any of them.

After all, Xiao Linzhi intended to suppress the Nancheng Palace, dividing the strength of the Nancheng Palace, and the Xianguo Mansion, so as to prevent the dictatorship of his relatives from shaking his own country.

Therefore, Xiao Lianhe has no real power in his hands.

Now others can't, only this one is brought up and can be tried.

Xiao Linzhi also asked what Xiao Lianhe meant.

Xiao Lianhe said with sincerity: Protecting the family and defending the country is the mission of a military general, and he is willing to wear a battle robe again for the sake of the Western merchants, even if he fights and kills, there is no return, and he has no regrets.

Hearing Xiao Lianhe's determination, Xiao Linzhi was actually a little moved.

At this time of internal and external troubles, I didn't expect that the people who had suppressed and guarded against him in the past stood up to protect their families and the country, and protect the country.

Xiao Linzhi felt a little guilty, but it quickly dissipated.

He felt that he was the emperor, and these people were his courtiers and guarded his country, which was originally a matter of course.

Since there was no other choice, Xiao Linzhi could only send Xiao Lianhe with another 50,000 troops to the north.

"If it's possible, please protect Song Qing, if it's ......" Before leaving, Xiao Linzhi specially called Xiao Lianhe to the front and explained.

It's just that when I said this, I hesitated slightly.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Everything is important for the stability of the country and the common people in the world." ”

At this time, Xiao Linzhi naturally didn't care about the life or death of the hussar general.

What he values is still his own country.

Anything else, you can sacrifice yourself for the sake of the country.

However, the surface work still has to be done, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and Xiao Linzhi's position is afraid that he will really not be able to sit steadily.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will do his best." Xiao Lianhe hugged his fists, and then beat the horse and left.

The back of the distance is sassy and heroic, but it is a little tragic.

The Nancheng Royal Mansion was once suppressed, although the honor is still there, but there is not much real power.

However, there are still many students in Fuzhong and the king of Nancheng, and the impact is still far-reaching.

Xiao Linzhi couldn't move easily.

Now the two people who were once suppressed by themselves, in adversity, in their own needs, they all stood up to save Xiao Linzhi and save the world from fire and water.

This made Xiao Linzhi feel irritable.

He felt as if something was secretly calculating himself.

But I think maybe I'm thinking too much.

seems to have seen Xiao Jihe last time, in order to find a prescription, the other party said that he hadn't slept or eaten for three days, and had been lying in the study and reading books.

I also went to the library in the palace and searched for a long time, and then I found the ancient book.

Thinking of the news found by the secret guard, Xiao Linzhi felt complicated.

Xiao Jihe's reward has not yet fallen.

But Xiao Linzhi knew that he couldn't delay it for too long.

If it drags on for too long, everyone will think that they have no reward for meritorious officials.

This will chill the hearts of the courtiers.

Xiao Linzhi never wanted to see such a scene.

But what to do?

"Your Majesty, June 12 is the birthday of Lord Sun, do you see ......" Manager Sun came over and asked, how will Your Majesty arrange Prime Minister Sun's birthday.

What kind of reward is it given, or what is it?

He, as a chief eunuch, can't decide such a big matter.

"Lord Sun?" Hearing Mr. Sun mention it, Xiao Linzhi was stunned for a moment when he started.

Prime Minister Sun Cheng has been unwell in recent days and did not come to the court, which made Xiao Linzhi forget.

In fact, I can discuss with Master Sun what to do with Xiao Ji and this matter.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the palace." After thinking about it, Xiao Linzhi immediately arranged the carriage and horses and prepared to leave the palace.

In the afternoon, Dongshu, who was far away in Qiantangju, got the news that Xiao Lin went straight out of the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
