Chapter 32: Meritorious Requests and Quarrels

"But don't underestimate the heroes of the world." After this sentence was said, Su Xunli on the side immediately knew what Zheng Xiu was worried about.

Then he pulled Zheng Xiu aside, and then looked at Zheng Xiu with some hesitation.

"Lord Zheng doesn't think that our great victory in the south is a place that lures the enemy to go deeper, and then prepares to set a trap, and finally catch turtles in the urn, right?"

As soon as Zheng Xiu heard this, he immediately became a little excited.

"Since you know what I'm worried about, then why did you stop me just now and prevent me from entering the palace to face the saint, do you know ......?"

"Ahem, ahem......"

Before Zheng Xiu's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Su Xunli with a coughing sound.

He said a little strangely: "Although I am a protégé of Confucianism, I don't know much about the situation of the soldiers, but I can be sure of one thing, that is, this great victory can be said to be no surprise." ”

Then Su Xunli explained.

Although the newly appointed General Xiao Zicheng Xiao is indeed very young, and he has not been on the battlefield before, he is also a disciple of the family in the final analysis.

Not only did he study hard and be fruitful, but he also had a lot of family elders around him to protect and give advice.

For example, this time he went out with Xiao Zicheng's third uncle "Changsheng General Xiao Xia Palace", the fourth uncle "Surprise Attack on Xiao Xia Jing in the Tent", and the fifth uncle "Miao Ji Lang Xiao Xia Hui", all three of them are generals who have been famous for a long time in the Xia Kingdom.

Even if Xiao Zicheng couldn't see through the enemy's schemes, with his three uncles here, he wouldn't let him make that kind of low-level mistake.

Not to mention that this time the imperial court sent 300,000 soldiers and horses, even if only 100,000 soldiers and horses were sent, with these three generals here, they would definitely be able to win a complete victory.

When Su Xunli said this, he shook his head a little helplessly.

"In fact, letting Xiao Zicheng be the coach is also a last resort, otherwise it will be difficult for the Xiao family to seal the official again."

"These things were asked by the Xiao family to the empress, and the Xiao family can really be said to have done their best for Great Xia."

When Zheng Xiu heard this, he realized that his previous thoughts were indeed a little shallow.

Not everyone is as self-made as he is, and when things happen, they can only rely on themselves.

There are also some people who only need to open their mouths, and naturally someone will put everything they need to their mouths.

If the empress really let the old general Xin Gan be the boss as he played before, and then the merit will be high, then it will be a real crisis.

After Zheng Xiu understood everything clearly, he didn't have the anxiety he had before, but had time to start looking at the people around him.

Many of the less familiar faces have changed into clothes that symbolize high power, and these should be some old ministers who have been reinstated.

Most of them are not very good, but some of them still seem to be in a state of full energy.

Among them is the old man who talked to Zheng Xiu just now, and at this moment he is standing with a few people discussing something.

From time to time, he gestured with his hands, and he looked very excited.

After a short time, the palace gates opened, and the officials entered according to their ranks.

"I heard about the great victory in the south, I don't know what the ministers are going to do now."

As she spoke, the empress looked at some of the people she had arranged.

If no one asks for what she wants, then these people will take advantage of the situation and bring it up.

"The great victory on the southern front, killing 100,000 enemies, can be said to be a great victory, I suggest that the whole country celebrate together, so that the people also know the good news."

A young soldier stood up and said.

If it had been put in the past, there would have been a lot of civil officials who would have stood up to stop this kind of thing.

It's just that this time it didn't, because the previous civil officials have been cut down.

And this time, these newly appointed people also feel that it is a good opportunity for the whole country to celebrate together.

Not only can it stabilize the hearts of the people, but it can also make them show their faces.

In this way, the previous suppers will also be much more peaceful.

"Quasi-play!"

The other soldiers saw that not only did those ministers not come over to pull their hind legs today, but even the empress was very easy to talk to.

Immediately began to prepare for more.

"Before General Xiao left, he said that he didn't bring much grain and grass this time, and he was afraid that it would not be enough to support the whole battle, but now his morale is strong, and I hope that His Majesty can allocate some grain and grass to the southern front."

"Quasi-play."

"Your Majesty, I hope to do a ritual for those dead soldiers, so that the souls of those soldiers can return to their hometown."

"Quasi-play."

"Your Majesty, I hope ......"

"Quasi-play."

With the constant requests of those generals, the empress agreed to one suggestion after another.

This is the proper meaning, and a lot of grain and grass have already been owed to the soldiers in various places before.

Now it is just a matter of sending the share to the proper amount, and the silver that was copied from the family was supposed to be sent to the frontier.

Since these ministers' requests are not excessive, and there are serious reasons, they agreed to them, hello, hello, everyone.

When another young soldier proposed to pay the frontier, the curtain was drawn on this meritorious service.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

The empress said, glancing at the people who had been arranged before, and these people immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, now that I have just won a big victory in Great Xia, and I have caught up with a group of officials who have been dealt with before, please open Enke."

"Your Majesty, although there are few people in each department now, there is no loss to the low-level officials, and they can still work normally, so there is no need to worry about opening the department."

"Your Majesty, although the departments can still work, if the official position is vacant, it will be inconvenient to issue the decree."

"Your Majesty, the purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents for the imperial court, and the selection of talents is for every three years.

"Your Highness ......"

"Your Majesty must not ......"

This time is different from the previous one, people's brains are about to become dog brains, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, they are all expressing their opinions.

Almost everyone was blushing over it.

Some had even lifted their sleeves and scuffled with the person next to them.

And I like to play the black hand very much, and the tricks are not separated from the next three ways.

Zheng Xiu, who watched it, also had a little itchy hands.

At this moment, the empress above shouted: "Have you made enough trouble!" ”

In an instant, everyone's attention was pulled back.

Baiguan immediately returned to his place and began to tidy up his appearance.

Now that the empress has been arranged, there is no need for them to make a fool of themselves, anyway, whether they can open Enke or not will not have much impact on them, and the newly hired officials will have to get up from the bottom.

"I've already thought about this matter, you don't have to quarrel anymore, Enke must be opened, the Ministry of Rites has a good plan, and the Ministry of Officials has also drawn up a list of officials and sent it over, there are many places that need people, retreat."

"My Emperor Shengming."
