Xie Chong felt that today's Highness was a little different from usual, with a little less bookish spirit and more maturity.

The topic is also different from the past, in the past, this kind of topic should have been raised by him, and His Highness should avoid talking about it.

Although Xie Chong was puzzled, he was also very happy, after all, this was a big issue related to Xizhou about Bei Chen, and it was a good thing that His Highness was willing to face it.

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister feels that Liu Yuan and Zhao Teng are in control of the government today, Prime Minister Liu Wei is just a wood carving, although Taifu Luoguang is very famous, it is difficult to support it alone, and it is a top priority to purge the court."

Xie Chong said solemnly.

"This king also thinks so, but this king has a special identity, and he swore in front of everyone that he would not enter Zhongzhou. If you bring troops to go, I am afraid that it will make the people of the world misunderstand, and when the time comes, I mistakenly think that this king is rebelling, and I am afraid that Beichen will be in war again. ”

If it really makes people misunderstand when they want to rebel, I'm afraid that the world will rebel every minute.

"Yes, Your Highness, the old minister feels that he has to wait for the news from Zhongzhou, and now His Majesty will be able to join forces with Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan to imprison the Empress Dowager Qi soon after he ascends the throne, compared to not being willing to be someone else's puppet all the time, we will wait for the opportunity."

"Okay, but we can't waste time in vain, there are some things that we need to prepare in advance to avoid problems when we get them."

"This king thinks that the first thing Xizhou is currently solving is the problem of military resources. Since the death of the emperor's brother, Zhongzhou has become more and more jealous of the king, and the supply of grain and grass for each battle is very small, and the soldiers are often suppressed for their merits, and they have not received rewards and promotions, and the attraction of the Xizhou army to the outside world has been greatly reduced in the long run, and the number of newly recruited soldiers every year is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, it won't take a few years, and the Xizhou Army will only be left with a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

"Your Highness is very true."

Xie Chong naturally understood this truth, but Zhou Shengchen didn't care too much about these before, or pretended not to care and numb himself, so he didn't say anything in vain.

"Luo Sanniang personally took her daughter Luo Shiyi from Qinghe County to Xizhou, and a mentoring banquet will be held the day after tomorrow." He Tian paused and continued: "This king expects that the palace will definitely send people to celebrate the day after tomorrow. ”

"This king wants to trouble the military advisor, make a list of soldiers who should be rewarded in recent years, write down the specific merits, and then the king will let the envoy bring it back to Zhongzhou to submit it to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to reward him."

Xie Chong frowned and said, "The old minister is afraid that the traitorous minister will make trouble from it, stop Your Majesty, and not give a reward." ”

"It's okay, if that's the case, then the merit will not be rewarded, if there is any more turmoil in the future, let Zhongzhou solve it by itself."

In the plot, Zhou Shengchen fights outside for almost eight or nine months every year, and even once it was as long as nineteen months, He Tian doesn't want to spend all his development time on this.

It's okay to fight, and the benefits are to be taken.

A gentleman can be bullied, and a loyal minister can be bullied with righteousness.

But I, He Tian, am not a gentleman, let alone a loyal minister, and the Liu bloodline can't restrain me.

He Tian had another purpose that he didn't say to Xie Chong.

At that time, if the rewards are in place, it will naturally be very good, and these rewards can be turned into food for the growth of the Xizhou army.

If the reward is too small, not even a single star, then He Tian will not help the royal family cover up like before.

After the soldiers knew the attitude of the royal family, He Tian would give them benefits.

After all, although this group of soldiers is engraved with the brand of the Xizhou Army and is loyal to the Nanchen Palace, there are also many who are loyal to the imperial court.

Xie Chong saw that He Tian had his own plan in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

Although intimate, Xie Chong always remembers his identity, and if the Lord is sure of something, he will do his best to do it.

.....................

The day after tomorrow, the main hall of the Nanchen Palace.

In front of everyone's eyes, Luo Shiyi walked over from outside the door cautiously step by step with the six salutes of the bundles, and in strict accordance with the apprenticeship taught by the Luo family, he respectfully put the tray containing the six rites on the table in front of He Tian, put his hands on his forehead, and bowed to He Tian.

He Tian looked at the figure in front of him and saw that Shi Yi was a little nervous, so he smiled and said, "Shi Yi, is it often called eleven at home?" ”

Shi Yi smiled and nodded.

When Luo Shiyi was ten years old, his father was sentenced to exile for offending the former queen's maiden family, Gao, Shi Yi was overly sad, and since then he has suffered from heart disease and cannot speak.

The soft light is sprinkled on Shi Yi's body, and there is a delicate atmosphere hidden between the corners of Shi Yi's eyebrows and eyes, eyebrows, eyes, and contours seem to be carefully depicted with a handmade pen, and his clear eyes seem to light up when he looks at He Tian.

"It just so happens that I already have ten apprentices, and I will also call you eleven, okay?"

Shi Yi This is the second time I have seen He Tian, originally the nickname should be called by a close person, and the two are not familiar with it when they meet for the second time, so there should be some rejection of such a name.

However, Shi Yi always dreamed of the scene he saw for the first time in the past two days: the long night dawned, the three armies came out together, the wolf smoke was the scene, the yellow sand was all over the sky, and the man in front of him was beating the drum under such a big curtain, and the thousands of soldiers behind him spoke in harmony.

He couldn't help but nodded.

He Tian knew that the Luo family attached great importance to etiquette and paid attention to etiquette, but whether it was the original Xiao Nanchen King or the current He Tian, they were very tired of this kind of thing, "Stand up, there are not many rules in the Nanchen Palace, it's good to worship here, don't care too much." ”

Seeing that Shi Yi turned his head to look at his mother Luo Sanniang on the side a little at a loss, He Tian spoke again and emphasized: "Don't worry, in Xizhou, Nanchen Wangfu is the rule." ”

Zhou Shengchen rarely said such domineering or even a little rebellious words, as soon as these words came out, the people watching the ceremony looked at him in surprise, Luo Sanniang glanced at He Tian deeply, and stopped talking.

Shi Yi smiled sweetly and stood up.

He Tian didn't pay attention to the reactions of the other people present, and stretched out his right hand to introduce them one by one.

"This is your senior sister, Hong Xiaoyu, you can find her for anything in the future."

Hong Xiaoyu smiled and folded his hands in front of his chest to salute.

"This is your second senior brother, Zhou Tianxing, you can also look for him when your senior sister is away."

Zhou Tianxing is a man who looks more mature, and he has also learned to make a salute.

"This is your third senior brother Xie Yun, who has a gentle personality and likes to read, I heard that you also like to read, so you can communicate more."

Xie Yun smiled.

"This is your fourth senior sister Feng Qiao, except for studying, you can find her."

Feng Qiao was stabbed in the back by the master, pouted, angry but didn't dare to resist, and obediently learned Hong Xiaoyu's movements to welcome.

"It's your ......"

As soon as the eight apprentices were introduced, the housekeeper of the palace walked in and said to He Tian: "Your Highness, someone from the palace has sent some congratulatory gifts. ”

Zhao Teng, the chief eunuch of Beichen, brought someone to send the golden sword and golden axe given by the emperor, He Tian didn't have the heart to deal with this eunuch, so he accepted it after a few casual words.

"Your Majesty also sent a painter this time, wanting to make a portrait of Miss Luo, and she will be sent to the East Palace in the future."

He Tian raised his eyebrows, "Today is the day when this king accepts disciples, and there are still many things to be busy with." The portrait is not in a hurry, and we will talk about it tomorrow. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Teng to reply, He Tian directly ordered: "Come here, send Zhao Gonggong and his party to go down and rest first." ”

Zhao Teng was unscrupulous in Zhongzhou City, but he didn't dare to say more in Xizhou, so he could only obediently bow to He Tian and leave with the servants of the palace.

He Tian watched Zhao Teng leave with cold eyes, wanting to give the portrait of the woman he liked to other boys, don't even think about it.
