After the new emperor ascended the throne, on the basis of the military department squire patrolling the border established by the first emperor himself, he went further, creating a precedent for the military officials to observe the political frontier, which was one of the mentions in the policy of Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, in that year, the purpose was to prevent the military department from only talking about military affairs on paper and not being pragmatic. It can be seen that the emperor of the Zhao family today is particularly blue-eyed towards this young vassal king who was loyal in the Jingjing. Among them, Kong Zhenrong, a member of the Wailang Division, Gao Tingshu, director of the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division, and Yan Chiji, director of the Arsenal Division, are all typical "mouthless" in the officialdom of the capital There are two reasons why the young faces of the DPRK and China are all concerned, one is that the preferred location for the border area of Guanzheng is not the expected Liangliao, not the eastern front where there is already a military squire Xu Gong echoing in the local area, but the northwest border of the desert and the wolf smoke, the North Liang Road!

The second reason is that the officials carefully screened out by the Ministry of War are extremely intriguing, among which Gao Tingshu and Wu Congxian and others in the same year of the new branch list were able to become famous in Tai-Ancheng, obviously it is not enough to rely on the identity of the first and third places, if it were not for the Jin Saburo who spared no effort to promote the poetry and sing harmony, they would be eclipsed in the view of politics in two or three months at most, in the Zhao family urn where the yamen is full of high-ranking officials, the Yonghui year name is more than 20 years, and there is really no shortage of champions and eyes to explore the flowers, as for the Jinshi, it is even more impossible to count。 Who in the world doesn't know that Jin Lanting, a big celebrity in the current dynasty, who has the grace of knowing and promoting Gao Tingshu, has regarded the father and son of the Beiliang Xu family as enemies over the years? In addition, Yan Chiji and Kong Zhenrong's accompanying patrols are even more interesting, the Yan family entered Beijing because of a woman, Yan Jiexi Yan Chiji and his son became relatives of the Son of Heaven, and what people didn't expect was that the four princes who had no ambition could easily break the shackles of the elder who could not be shaken in the clan inheritance with an indisputable attitude, and finally tepid all the way to the south. Guozhang Yan Jiexi was already a scholar of Dongyuan Pavilion before, and Yan Chiji, who was often played and bullied by Tai-Ancheng at the beginning of his entry into Beijing, has now become the uncle of the dynasty, who does not know that today not only has a deep relationship with the queen, but also got along with this gentle brother-in-law before ascending the throne, and has always been as close as a brother, otherwise how could Yan Chiji serve as the head of the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War not long ago, and how to personally send off the head of the Ministry of War, and even let Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War personally greet him on the day of the debriefing? And Kong Zhenrong is also an authentic Beiliang background, his father Kong Dahe entered Beijing as an official because of his merits, and voted for the second prince, this Kong Wuzhi and Yan Chiji are both brothers who can wear a pair of pants with the current King of Beiliang when they were young, plus Li Hanlin, the only one who stayed in Beiliang, even if there are not a hundred Qinglou that the four of them visited together in Beiliang, there are seventy or eighty.

In this way, it will be very chewy, the four brothers, not to mention Xu Fengnian, the hereditary and repetitive king of the border domain, even if Li Hanlin has a father who is an official to the second rank of Liyang Zheng, what kind of official position is he now? The little crossbowman is just the commander! And the Li Gongde, who is recognized as an official with skills, has only been a feudal official for a few days, and his butt has not yet covered the chair, and he quickly squeezed out an outsider like Song Dongming. On the other hand, on the side of the capital, not to mention Yan Chiji, who has a transcendent identity, Kong Zhenrong is already a hot and powerful figure in the military department, if you go to the local state and county, even if you are a county guard of a lot of age, you have to honestly call Kong Zhenrong a brother and sister, and be careful to entertain him, maybe the latter is not happy to appreciate it.

Since it is the border of Guanzheng, of course, it is to go to Youzhou and not to Lingzhou, which has the reputation of small Jiangnan, not long after they entered, they got the amazing news that the Beimang army was advancing on the third line, and several old people in the military department originally intended to go around the relatively calm Youzhou border pass even if they gave an explanation to the imperial court, and then immediately set off to Jibei, and said hello to the newly rising Yuan Tingshan, and then to Liangliao, and saw Gu Jiantang of the Great Pillar Country and Xu Gong, the right attendant of the military department, in a fit of anger, he simply let the Beiliangbian Army dress up as Beimang Rangers, and put their group of military officials in a pot?

Among the political officials, several old people who had seen the sinister of the Huan Sea hurriedly stopped at a border post station, and they couldn't discuss a foolproof plan overnight, but the young and vigorous Gao Tingshu was quite disapproving, not only went straight to the gourd mouth of Youzhou, but also went to the Hutou City in Liangzhou, the first Xiongguan in the northwest, to take a look, so frightened that the old people who were already afraid of the cold turned purple, if it weren't for the fact that Bangyanlang was a young man who was lucky enough to have a good impression in the hearts of Gu Jiantang and Lu Shangshu, he would have waited to sit on the cold bench of the Yamen of the Ministry of War after returning to Beijing。 Compared with Gao Tingshu, who is not afraid of tigers in newborn calves, Yan Chiji, the uncle of the little country who is gentle and kind along the way, is really much more amiable in the eyes of those old fritters in the officialdom, and the post station has been tormented all night and does not know how many times to pick the wick, and finally Yan Chiji said an idea, and soon the old man thought about it more and more "suitable for the situation", Uncle Guo mentioned that he did not go to Youzhou, nor did he go to the northern line of Liangzhou, but went directly to the Beiliang Wangfu and went to Qingliang Mountain. Lang Zhongliang Dendrobium, who presided over the specific affairs of the Qing Officials Division, pinched his beard, his mind was settled, and he squinted and smiled and said a word, "Good".

Lord Liang is more and more pleasing to this young uncle, it is good to go to the Qingliang Mountain that moves the world, no matter how unruly the King of Beiliang is, even if he dares to send troops to resist even the holy decree at the beginning, he will not be bold enough to kill people in his own palace, right? There are so many Beijing officials in Tai-Ancheng, how many of them have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes? After leaving Beijing, Gao Tingshu, who seemed to be in high spirits, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say anything that offended the anger of the people.

When the political viewing team stopped to rest at the post station bordering Liangzhou, Kong Zhenrong, who had returned to his hometown for the first time since entering Beijing, found Yan Chiji, who was reading the books of sages at night, and sat down without saying a word. After a few years of polishing, Yan Chiji gradually faded away from the bottomless immature atmosphere of the foreigner's heart in Beijing, and then there was poetry and writing in his belly. Kong Zhenrong didn't speak, Yan Chiji didn't take the initiative to speak, there was only the sound of him flipping a book and the subtle sound of the occasional wick cracking in the room, in the end, Kong Wuzhi couldn't hold his breath, and asked angrily: "Yan eats chicken, do you think Brother Feng will be angry, don't see us?"

Yan Chiji continued to read, and seemed not quite sure, and said softly: "No." ”

Kong Zhenrong, who had just shaved off his beard this morning, touched his stubble, sighed and said sadly: "You're okay, I've been with that guy from Hanlin and Brother Feng for a few years, but I went to the capital several years before you, and the last time Brother Feng went to the capital, my father was confused and tricked me into going to Gyeonggi South early, and I didn't touch it in the end." Yan eats chicken, you read more, do you say that Brother Feng really doesn't think I'm not righteous? I knew that it was such a heart-stopping situation, even if I ran away from home, I shouldn't have gone to the capital with my father. ”

Yan Chiji didn't turn the book again, stopped on the page at hand, and was silent.

Kong Zhenrong asked: "Why don't you go to the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites, what do you do when you come to the Ministry of War, haven't you hated fighting and bloodshed the most since you were a child?"

Yan Chiji said with emotion: "It's because I hate it that I want to go to the military department." ”

Kong Zhenrong rolled his eyes and said: "You scholars have a lot of flowers, and you don't directly explain a word, everyone else takes off their pants and farts, and you shit in pants." ”

Yan Chiji's eyes suddenly sharpened a little, looked out the window, and said in a low voice: "After you go back, tell Uncle Kong that you don't have to write to the Tang King of Jiangnan Province anymore." ”

Seeing Kong Zhenrong's confused appearance, Yan Chiji burst out from between his teeth almost word by word, "Especially the matter of King Tang sending people into Beijing to offer auspicious white deer, so that your father must not get involved!"

Kong Zhenrong wondered, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Yan Chiji sneered: "You don't care about anything, just tell your father, just say it is my unintentional words after a family banquet, your father knows the stakes." ”

Kong Zhenrong, who used to help Yan Chiji block the wind and rain, sighed, looked at Yan Chiji's face, and said softly: "Yan eats chicken, I don't seem to know you anymore." ”

Yan Chiji's originally tense face softened a little, picked up the book on the table again, and almost said to himself: "I don't want to either." ”

The next trip to Liangzhou made the hearts of the old people, including the staff Qingzhi Shilang Zhongliang, who had been hanging in their throats, slowly put it back. Not only did the military units in Liangzhou open the door for them, but a newly appointed lieutenant who was appointed last year personally led the army to escort them outside the state city. Although Langzhong Liang Dendrobium is not born in the army, but as an old minister of Zhang Lu of the Ministry of War, his vision is not bad, a leaf knows the autumn, and he weighs the strength of the military strength in the Beiliang region, far better than the previous route of Jinggi and Jizhou and other places, in the bottom of his heart, he naturally began to be afraid of the 300,000 border army iron cavalry of the Xu family in the world, and he was quite emotional, and he was quite emotional, and the light cavalry in the territory of Beiliang Road was already so majestic.

When the political observation team that was watched by the people of Liangzhou as monkeys came to the gate of the palace at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, when they saw with their own eyes the pair of stone lions that were two feet high, Rao is well-informed old man of the military department also looked at each other, and invariably gasped in unison, what a big magnificence! Yan Chiji and Kong Zhenrong's expressions were a little complicated, while Gao Tingshu snorted coldly, so frightened that Liang Shidub hurriedly coughed a few times, for fear of hearing it to the people in the Beiliang Palace. In Liyang, there has always been a saying that the local officials are three feet short of the Beijing officials, which means that the official authority of the Beijing officials is naturally three ranks higher than the local officials, not to mention the officials who are arrogant to the Beijing officials The officials led by Yin Maochun were overwhelmed, but the majesty was still there, Liang Shidendrob, as the chief official of the staff department in charge of all the maps in the world, was also a self-proclaimed proud scholar, so when he took the lead and walked into the side door of the Beiliang Palace, the kind of Beijing official with fluttering sleeves when walking was still full of heat, and even the palace steward couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang, did not show up from beginning to end, and he was a guest of Song Dongming, the deputy envoy of Beiliang Dao, who came forward to entertain him, saying that the prince was presiding over the military and political affairs at the border pass, and he couldn't get out of the way. Liang Shidendrobium and a few old foxes wished that the son of the man Tu didn't care about them, and said a lot of beautiful things about flowers and flowers that they didn't want money anyway, and complimented that the king of Beiliang was really doing his best, and even had to go to the front line to guard the northwest gate for the imperial court, and so on. Song Dongming, the self-appointed deputy envoy of Beiliang, accepted it with a smile for the king of Beiliang, probably because of the morale of the Central Plains name on the deputy envoy, which really made people feel like a spring breeze, Liang Shidendrob and others immediately felt a lot more comfortable, and some sincerely regretted that Song Dongming was really a pearl covered with dust, if he went to the temple in the capital and stood side by side with the prince of the dynasty, it would be pleasing to the eye.

After Song Dongming took the wind and washed the dust for the officials of the Ministry of War, he unexpectedly did not have any attempt to fool people, and only put down the chopsticks on the dinner table, so he got up and led everyone to his office office located on the mountainside of Qingliang Mountain, and took the initiative to explain the sensitive military priorities, including the appointment of the captain in Beiliang Province and the promotion and change of the border army. The military department's observation of politics is somewhat of a means of patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, but Liang Dendrobium then went to Jizhou to dare to think so, where did he dare to be so big in Beiliang Road, I thought that they would be lucky to have a few full meals and drink those pots of green ant wine, and they were even ready to be hung with a cold face. Liang Dendrobium and other old people insisted on only listening and not talking, but Gao Tingshu was not particular, several times asked about the distribution of troops in Beiliang and some specific military affairs on the border, Song Dongming did not see any unhappy looks, they were all looking for some excuses to skip, Liang Dendrobium was originally willing to Gao Tingshu, a stunned young man who did not know whether to live or die, was a bird, if he could really spy on the truth and reality, it would be regarded as a icing on the cake after all, but after the young director repeatedly asked five times, Song Dongming squinted his eyes and lowered his head to drink tea, Liang Dendrobium couldn't sit still at all, and glanced at the door in fear, afraid that as soon as the deputy envoy of the Jing Strategy smashed the cup, five hundred knives and axes rushed out, press them to the ground and chop them all up and feed them to the dogs. Liang Dendrobium hurriedly played a round game, saying that he had heard for a long time that the red carp leaping scenery of Chaohu Lake was the best in the world, and he wanted to bring his colleagues to see and understand. Song Dongming didn't get up this time, but just smiled and asked his subordinates to lead the military department to listen to Chaohu.

Then Song Dongming came to the top of the mountain alone, looked at Xu Fengnian, who had made a special trip back to the palace, and asked, "Since they are all back, don't talk about the past?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head, looked at Tingchao Lake, and said, "Mr. Song, accompany me to the back of the mountain, and we will go together to engrave the two hundred and ninety-six names on the tablet." ”

Song Dongming nodded.

The deputy envoy of Jinglu, who was walking with Xu Fengnian, obviously held his breath for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say angrily: "What a rich and noble person who doesn't return to his hometown, if he walks at night, if he walks at night, but we have two hundred and ninety-six people in Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "Let's Beiliang just remember it ourselves." ”
