"Your Majesty, how is Wancheng?" There were only two people in the study, Zhao Yizhi and Qian Ning, Qian Ning asked.

"Zhou Ziru is urging food." Zhao Yizhi said indifferently.

Qian Ning was surprised: "The grain and grass that has been allocated for half a year, how can it be so fast?" ”

Zhao Yizhi sighed: "Ge Cifeng found out where Zhou Ziru's grain was, and led an army of 50,000 to rob the grain. Fortunately, Zhou Ziru divided the grain and grass into two places early in the morning, and used both places at the same time, and even sent a light horse to detour behind the road, pretending to cut off his retreat, which scared off Ge Cifeng. Otherwise... Zhou Ziru was afraid that he would not be able to come back, but a grain and grass had been burned to the ground. ”

Zhou Ziru's letter is written more concisely, but Zhao Yizhi understands Zhou Ziru, he has never shown weakness easily, and this time he reported to the capital urgently, he should have suffered a lot of losses. Although he is a genius, he is still younger after all.

Qian Ning didn't speak, the finances of the DPRK and China were already stretched, and sending 300,000 troops with the intention of a quick battle was also Zhou Ziru's proposition...... Qian Ning is not Zhao Yizhi, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Ziru.

Qian Ning saw that Zhao Yi was frowning, and he couldn't bear it, and said: "Your Majesty, Nanhuai and Donglu have been returned to the imperial court, it's better to..."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I just regained it, and I have promised to be exempt from taxes, and then I will go... I am afraid of losing the hearts of the people. ”

Yi Xiaodao returned from Nanhuai and Donglu, although his words were concise, but Zhao Yizhi could still hear the hardships and dangers along the way and the hardships of the people from his few words. Nanhuai is okay, especially in Donglu, bandits are rampant, Dongwa disturbs the border, the feudal army is in chaos, and it is strange that the common people can have a good life.

"Donglu may indeed be unable to find anything... Nanhuai can give it a try. In the previous battle between Nanhuai and Chu Xiang, although the father and son of the old Nanhuai King were both killed, it did not hurt the foundation of Nanhuai's people's power. This time, not in the name of the imperial court, but because of the prestige of the Li family in Nanhuai, perhaps... You can also prepare some money and food. Channing suggested.

Although there are many military generals in the Chinese court, it is a pity that they are either old, or they are vegetarian meals, swaying with the wind, and there are few people who can really discuss. Qian Ning was originally in charge of military affairs, but now he has also discussed civil politics. Maybe it had something to do with his father, and he spoke in an orderly manner.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Nanhuai tomorrow!" Zhao Yizhi made up his mind, this is also something that cannot be helped.

The next day, Zhao Yizhi said about the affairs of Anhui City in the court, and the ministers in the court, you look at me, I look at you, and you have returned to the old appearance of looking at the nose and nose and mouth.

Zhao Yizhi looked around and smiled bitterly in his heart: Although he didn't look down on Cork before, there was still someone to ridicule and drive, and he was quite obedient. Now... If you want to find a 'cork' again, I'm afraid it's difficult...

Zhao Yizhi was still thinking, and one person came out from the group of ministers and said: "Weichen is willing to go!" ”

Zhao Yizhi was overjoyed when he heard this, but the position of the person standing too far back, Zhao Yizhi couldn't see it really, and asked: "Who is the self-recommender?" Come forward and speak! ”

The man walked unhurriedly, stepped forward and said: "Rong Lan, the envoy of the Heavenly Supervisor of the Weichen Division, is willing to share the worries of His Majesty, send an envoy to Nanhuai, and collect money and food for His Majesty!" ”

Zhao Yizhi looked up and down, and saw that this Rong Lan was born with a dignified appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was Si Tianjian's civil service, there was quite a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and his appearance was already somewhat appreciated.

Chang Mi, the eunuch of the Si Tianjian is an old man, and he is divided into four ceremonies, four envoys, and eight official positions. The major affairs of the court have always had nothing to do with Si Tianjian, they were just going through the motions, but they didn't expect that their little envoy would dare to say that they would send an envoy to Nanhuai, and they were so anxious that they followed out.

"The old minister is not strict in discipline... Still... I also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. Sending an envoy to Nanhuai is a major event in the imperial court, Rong Lan is still young and lacks qualifications, so his talent is shallow and unbearable! Chang Mi said hurriedly.

Zhao Yizhi saw Chang Mi's trembling appearance, waved his hand gently, and hurriedly a little eunuch rushed over and helped him up.

"Don't worry, the old eunuch, wait for me to ask. Rong Aiqing, if you want to be an envoy, what should you say? Zhao Yizhi calmed Chang Mi and asked about Rong Lan.

"Weichen is subordinate to Si Tianjian, and he should say it in the way of heaven!" Rong Lan straightened up and was full of energy.

When Zhao Yizhi heard this, he chuckled and waved his hand slightly, he and Qian Ning discussed the battle of Huai Chuxiang in the south, and talked about Li Dingxing. If you say anything about the ethereal way of heaven, I'm afraid that this money and food will not come.

"For 600 years, it has been the Eight Kings Town, guarding the imperial court, and this bureau has not changed in 600 years! Now Your Majesty has been the king for less than three years, and it will be returned to Nanhuai and Donglu, which is not the way of heaven and people can't believe it! Flyy small profits and changes in the world, people have their own arguments, there is no need to say more! Although Weichen is still young, he can also show that the court is full of vitality. Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this levy of grain is not for the loyal public, but for all the people of the world! Rong Lan's face did not change, and he said loudly in the court.

"I... I'll beat you to death... What nonsense! Chang Mi is old, his ears are not very good, he only heard Rong Lan behind him talking loudly, but he couldn't hear what he said, thinking that he was refuting the court, and he was so angry that he turned around and was about to beat.

"The old supervisor is slow!" Zhao Yizhi shouted.

Chang Mi heard this sentence clearly, and with the support of the little eunuch, he turned around honestly and bowed his head to listen to the order.

"Rong Lan Mao recommended himself, his courage is commendable, and his courage is extraordinary, I will appoint you as an envoy to Nanhuai, raise food and grass for the imperial court, and fight Chuxiang again! After returning to the court, the matter will be completed, and you will be appointed as a doctor and an official of the four grades. If it doesn't work out, the family property is confiscated, can you dare to accept the order? Zhao Yizhi stood up and asked.

"Weichen Command!" Rong Lan was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.

Zhao Yizhi lifted his dragon robe and walked down the steps, so frightened that the civil and military officials on both sides fell to the ground. Zhao Yizhi didn't care about it, walked up to Rong Lan, helped Rong Lan, looked at the young face, and asked, "How old is Aiqing?" ”

"Wechen is twenty-one years old." Rong Lan replied without humility or arrogance.

"Good!" Zhao Yizhi shouted: "Twenty-one years old, one year older than me, how can I call it young?" Or do you Aiqing always think that I am still young? The old eunuch has seen the appearance of heaven for a lifetime, but this person has lost his eyes, rewarding the priest and the eunuch, a royal banquet, and ten golden clothes! ”

Zhao Yizhi originally wanted to shout out a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, after all, this shouting was exciting, but after thinking about the increasingly empty treasury, he still held back...

After the dispersal of the court, Rong Lan stood aside with his head down, waiting for Chang Mi to come over, and helped Chang Mi to leave the hall.

The old supervisor Chang Mi looked at the honest and obedient little envoy beside him, and sighed: "When I was a child... I'm most proud of these eyes... The stars in the sky are really real. Alas... Not anymore, I'm old, and I'm dazzled. If you really have the ability, go to Nanhuai to ask for it! It's okay if you don't get it, ah, Your Majesty wants to be punished, I still have some family property, just accompany the punishment! ”

Rong Lan's nose was sour, and his eyes gradually became a little blurry. Six hundred years not to mention that the wind and rain are smooth, it can be regarded as the peace of the country and the people, Si Tianjian has long lost the original scenery, and it can be said to be dispensable in the court. Now that the war is raging again, His Majesty is a wise monarch who never asks about the murderer. Rong Lan didn't want to be strong, he just complained about Si Tianjian's colleagues.

"Supervisor, I..."

"I understand... Got it... I'm old and dizzy, but my brain is not confused. When the emperor learned about that, he stayed in our heavenly prison day and night, what kind of scenery was that? Even Mr. Wang was polite when he saw me! Not anymore... Forget it, Your Majesty is a British lord and knows people. Even if I pass in the morning, even if you don't come out, Your Majesty will find the head of our Si Tianjian..."Chang Mi smacked his mouth and said.

Rong Lan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Chang Mi in disbelief.

"What? Don't believe me? Hahahaha, but it's okay for you to go, it's okay. Two offenses, two offenses... People are old, they are useless..."Chang Mi broke away from Rong Lan's hand, and instead of walking outside the palace, he walked in the direction of the imperial study.

Zhao Yi will definitely go to the imperial study after the dispersal of the court, and everyone in the court knows it.

Wang Zhenliang saw Chang Mi coming over from afar, waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs hurriedly trotted forward to help.

"Old Eunuch, why are you free?" Wang Zhenliang smiled and bowed.

"Ah, Mr. Wang? I guessed it was you, where you stood all these years... Then I haven't moved, you see, it's all two seals, hey, hey, hey..."Chang Mi said with a smile when he saw his old friend.

"Yes, the first day we stood here, we didn't even think about moving away." Wang Zhenliang said with a smile.

With the support of the two little eunuchs, Chang Mi stepped up the steps step by step: "Si Tianjian is talented, and when he is old, he can't see it... Come and ask your majesty for a decree, oops, it's time to go. ”

Wang Zhenliang looked at this old friend and couldn't help but sigh with some emotion, the emperor was eclectic, and there were many young people who promoted young people to officials. In the past, the ministers of the court and the central government were so high-spirited, and everyone either wanted to make meritorious contributions or leave a name in history. It's a pity that the years have passed, and those ambitions don't know what year they are buried in the dust...

After Wang Zhenliang turned around and reported, Chang Mi entered the imperial study. Zhao Yizhi saw Chang Mi coming, and got up to greet him: "The old eunuch is here, but he persuaded me?" If this is the case, the old eunuch will not persuade him. Hahaha, I see that Rong Lan has a lot of courage, even if he can't collect money and food, I won't punish him, don't worry. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister's eyes are dizzy, and he has come to ask for his resignation... I'm going to say goodbye to my hometown..."Chang Mi shook his head and said.

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said a little apologetically: "Does the old eunuch care about the words of the main hall?" At that time, I was emotional, and I really said something serious, and I asked the old supervisor not to take it to heart. ”

Chang Mi waved his hand again and again, pulled Zhao Yizhi and said: "Your Majesty, you have the benevolent style of the first emperor, even more benevolent than the first emperor, because you are only in your twenties!" But now that the major event of cutting the feudal domain and unifying the country, the difficulty of Zhongxing is no less than that of the founding of the country, and it is not enough to rely on benevolence alone... Ah, the old minister is too talkative. The old minister is indeed old, from the Taihe Hall to this imperial study, the old minister has been gone for a long time..."

"Then the old eunuch doesn't have to tell the old man to return to his hometown, it's better to be like the Qian Taibao, recuperate at home, and I will stay at work for you. If you don't understand something, listen to it. Zhao Yizhi said seriously.

"I'm really old..."Chang Mi said this sentence, as if he had exhausted his strength, and his eyebrows and eyes were endlessly old.

Zhao Yizhi was silent for a moment and no longer insisted: "Okay then... Old Supervisor, take care of yourself! ”

"Old minister kneels to say goodbye to Your Majesty!!" Chang Mi bent down and knelt down, Zhao Yizhi stretched out his hand to help, but Chang Mi insisted on kneeling and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Zhao Yizhi picked up the red pen on his bookcase and handed it to Chang Mi: "I have no long things, but this pen accompanies me day and night, and talks about the old eunuch." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chang Mi said and took the red pen and left the imperial study.

Wang Zhenliang stood outside the door, saw Chang Mi coming out, and asked, "I'll go to the house to get a good wine, let's go to Mrs. Chen's for a drink?" ”

Chang Mi's wrinkled old face laughed: "Hehe, good! ”
