After two dynasties without war, the army in the country was more or less relaxed.

Since the first emperor's dynasty, an old Li Ge has been arbitrary in power, which almost involves most of the energy of the first emperor, and naturally has no time to take care of the army.

can remember to grasp the military power in his hands, and he is considered to be the wisdom of the first emperor.

This is especially true after the new monarch ascends the throne.

After all, the new monarch is young, and the queen mother has to make decisions about all matters in the court, if he can control the court situation, it is a great luck, how can he still think so much?

Therefore, this discussion of the army is like a pebble thrown into the water, rippling and rippling.

Several generals in the army were still a little hesitant at first, and when they were not in wartime, the superior suddenly remembered a few of them who had heavy troops, which was not a good thing.

Either to weaken them, or to replace them.

After hearing that this was not the case, but wanted to improve the combat strength of the army, he was both happy and worried, "If it is not in wartime, the queen mother and the emperor can think of us, it is naturally very good." As long as you think of us, the military rations, salaries, and all kinds of weapons and materials can be given to us more or less. ”

"It's all trivial. Didn't you hear the news from the DPRK? The emperor said that because he was not in wartime, it would be difficult for a military general to cook without rice, so he had to think of a way to show our ability to govern the army. If it's good, it's like a commendation for making a war exploit, and if it's not good, then it's going to be punished. ”

A penalty word, many people beat the drum in their hearts.

When the army is not in wartime, it is inevitable that it will be loose, and the violation of discipline in the army will naturally not be strictly grasped.

That's not going to work.

Fighting a war has always been a good hand, if because of some small violations of discipline and this army loses to another army, isn't it too wrong?

Therefore, before receiving a formal order, the armies were ready to move and began to rectify military affairs.

……

Wenchen naturally does not have such enthusiasm, some people have nothing to do with themselves, and some people are even a little contemptuous.

What's the use of those big bosses in the army?

How many years have not been fighting, the imperial court has raised them to eat idle meals, and given them a little military merit during the war, that is to let them continue to work hard.

Now that they are not in wartime, they still have to think of sending them military merits, and they also deserve it?

Fortunately, the court and the court all knew that this matter seemed to be discussed by the emperor with Prince Yong and the cabinet people, but in fact, it was the queen mother's head, and everyone did not dare to criticize.

Anyway, they have nothing to do with it, so if you want to do it, you can do it!

Su Qing once mentioned it in a letter to the Song brothers, asking who reminded the Queen Mother of this, and he suspected that it was brought up by Prince Yong in order to seek more power for himself.

Song Rubai didn't know either, so he asked Song Rumo, "You have been in front of the Queen Mother these days, have you ever heard of who reminded the Queen Mother of this?" ”

Song Rumo shook his head like a rattle.

Originally, he decided that he wouldn't say anything about it until he died, but now he changed his mind-

He won't be able to say it until he dies!

Su Qing couldn't find out about this matter, and then it was over.

……

"Young master, someone from the concierge handed a post in."

Su Mansion, Su Zhiming had just come back from the palace, and before he finished drinking a cup of tea, he saw the housekeeper send a post from the concierge.

The county lord took it and looked at it, and the name on the post was very raw, unlike the relatives and nobles in the capital, so he handed it to Su Zhiming to see.

Su Zhiming took it casually, and even he felt that the name on the post was dumbfounded, and he thought for a long time before he reacted, "This is a classmate of mine in Lingnan, and I studied together for half a year after winning the juren." However, he didn't do well in the exam when he entered Beijing to catch the exam, and he failed in the first year, and he took the exam again three years later, just with the Jinshi. ”

The county lord thought about it, Tongjin Shi Committee is really not a high background, and this person has no contact with Su Zhiming, Hulaba handed the post in, there must be something strange here.

"Husband, what is he looking for you?"

Su Zhiming entered the cabinet, and the one-day calendar became calm, although he couldn't understand the other party's intentions for a while, he didn't show the slightest impatience.

He smiled, "The left and right didn't come to me to talk about their classmates." If it had been a month ago, he might have come to me to arrange a position for him in the court. But now......"

He suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I remembered." This person was not able to arrange a good position in the DPRK after being selected as a fellow jinshi, and later it seemed that he went to the army to work as a clerk, but I am afraid that he came to inquire about the major politics of the DPRK. ”

If there is any fashionable policy in the DPRK and China this time, it is the discussion in the military.

The county lord laughed when he heard this, "This person is really weird. ”

"How weird?"

The county lord said: "When I think about the Spring Festival, how many students from Lingnan have broken their heads, and they have to see their husbands and listen to your guidance on the exam." This person has never been here, otherwise I wouldn't be impressed. If he has real talent and real learning, he is arrogant, but he only took the same jinshi exam, and he knows the average. It seems that this person is quite arrogant. ”

Su Zhiming nodded, "He has been planning an errand in the army with peace of mind, and now he wants to think about the army, I admire him." At least he came to me, not for his own future, but for everyone. ”

Thinking so, Su Zhiming handed the post to the housekeeper, "If you go back to the person, just say that I am free tomorrow and ask him to come over tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

The housekeeper went back to spread the word, and the classmate really came to the door the next day.

He didn't come empty-handed, but he prepared some gifts, but not expensive gold, silver and jade, or antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but some dried fruits and candied fruits.

"I heard that the county lord's mother is pregnant and likes to eat dried fruit preserves from Xinghualou, as well as this hawthorn cake and jade pear cake, so I bought some."

This gift is very intimate, if it is expensive, Su Zhiming will not accept it, and the county lord who originally thought that this classmate was eccentric, but his impression of him was much better at this time.

"Thank you for your trouble, it's all available. My husband often brings me when he comes back from a trip, but his candied pastries are not easy to buy, so he always has to queue up. ”

My classmate smiled: "Just because my wife is also pregnant and loves to eat these, I often go to the queue, and I have already figured out how to buy them quickly." Brother Su is now an old man in the court, and he has every opportunity, so it is really overkill to let him buy these. ”

Su Zhiming waved his hand when he heard this, "Hey, how can you talk about overkill?" Do something small for the lady, this is also a little bit of our husband's heart. ”

After that, he invited his classmates to sit down, and the maid came up to pour tea, and the county lord said: "You classmates haven't seen you for a long time, let's have a good chat, I'll go to the back kitchen to see the dishes, and we will have lunch at our home today." ”

After that, she got up and went out, and her classmates also stood up to see her off.

When she walked away, her classmate said: "My sister-in-law is so virtuous." ”
