When Fang Linyuan returned to the Yuntai Palace, Zhao Xuan was sitting at the table looking at the folds.

Hearing the voice of the palace maid outside the door greeting him, Zhao Pu raised his head, a little surprised, as if he didn't expect him to return to the palace so early today.

And Fang Linyuan, who stopped not far away, didn't know what to say for a while.

He was enthusiastic for a while, and his mind was full of Zhao Pu. Now that Zhao Pu was in front of him, he didn't know what to say.

But fortunately, Zhao Pu didn't ask him anything.

I saw Zhao Pu looking at him, his eyes paused slightly, and then he smiled, raised his hand and asked him, "What are you standing there for?" Come. ”

As soon as Fang Linyuan passed, Zhao Pu pulled him into his arms.

"See him?" Zhao Pu asked.

Fang Linyuan nodded, his gaze just swept over the folds on the table.

"Hmm. …… Well? Li Horse wants to reconcile? ”

He was answering the call when he was startled by what was written on the spread out fold.

He looked at Zhao Pu in surprise, and saw Zhao Pu nodding.

"Hmm." He said. "I promised him."

I saw that the fold had already been approved by Zhu, agreed to his request, and gave him another mansion.

"When?" Fang Linyuan was not impressed at all.

"When he sends you a message to the palace for me." Zhao Pu said. "He's smart, though. Originally, I didn't want to look for him, but he found it out on his own and took the initiative to open his mouth. ”

Fang Linyuan was stunned, and he didn't understand.

"Discovery?" He asked. "What did you find, about Your Majesty imprisoning me?"

Zhao Pu nodded.

"At that time, Jiang Hongluan had just died, and Zhao Yao didn't see the emperor, so he asked Li Zhe to visit the ninth princess under the pretext of coming to the palace every day to ask to see him."

"Why didn't she ask for it herself?"

Zhao Pu laughed.

"Isn't this afraid of annoying the emperor, let alone spoiling her?" He said. "She already disliked the low lintel of Li Zhe, Jiang Hongluan died, she didn't rely on it, how dare she gamble with herself again."

These six princesses are really ......

However, thinking about the few times I saw her in the past, and then looking at what she did this time, Fang Linyuan was not very surprised.

"He took the initiative to tell me the news." Zhao Pu continued while rubbing Fang Linyuan's back one after another. "I told him not to have to do much, and he probably knew I had a plan."

"Itchy." Fang Linyuan was touched by him and his back was numb, and he hurriedly turned sideways to hide.

But there was only so much place in the circle of chairs, and he didn't dodge, but was forced into the corner by Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu smiled and kissed him.

"Hmm." He said. Then he asked me if I had anything to bring to you. He said that he was gradually able to see the ninth princess in the past two days, and he was able to stay in the palace for a period of time every day. ”

Fang Linyuan had no choice but to give up.

"Then he's really risky like this." He said.

"Yes, so I only put you at ease in my letter, and asked him what he wanted." Zhao Pu said. "He said he didn't ask for anything, and if he could, he just wanted to be free."

"What about the six princesses?"

"Whatever." Zhao Pu laughed indifferently. "It's supposed to be the freedom to marry, Li Zhe really wants to reconcile, and I can't stop him."

When Fang Linyuan heard this, he thought about it, and nodded.

What Zhao Pu said is indeed right. Besides, even if the emperor has changed, the princess and the prince also have the support of the court, and the dispute between husband and wife is just a loss of face at most.

"Speaking of which, has the name of the Ninth Princess been decided?" Fang Linyuan asked again.

Zhao Pu snorted, took out a free hand, and flipped a few times in a pile of folds: "The Ministry of Rites handed over two names, I'll take a look at ......"

Fang Linyuan knew that the Ministry of Rites had thought of giving her two names.

However, thinking of the little girl's quiet and stubborn eyes that day, Fang Linyuan paused and asked Zhao Pu: "Or about this matter, you can ask herself?" ”

Zhao Pu paused: "What?" ”

"The last time I saw her, I saw her as a very assertive child." Fang Linyuan said. "She must have an idea in mind."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but look at him twice, and the smile in his eyebrows made Fang Linyuan a little incomprehensible.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"You seem to like you like kids very much." Zhao Pu said, his eyes were vaguely ambiguous for some reason.

Fang Linyuan's expression stiffened slightly.

"There's nothing to like, just respect her personal wishes......" he said, and stood up vigilantly from where he was.

But Zhao Pu had already circled him.

"If we like it, we can try it too."

"Try what?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Pu answered Fang Linyuan with actions.

Fang Linyuan: "...... Zhao Pu! ”

He gritted his teeth.

It's a pity that he can't stand in the court now.

Otherwise, he would have to participate in Zhao Pu's ten extravagant excerpts.

——

After that, Zhao Pu didn't ask about Lin Zimiao's whereabouts again.

But Shi Shen specially ordered someone to hand over something.

The silver tickets, the grange, and the letter of appointment were all delivered to the Yuntai Hall as they were, and the person who delivered them said that the lord who had been released from the prison had only asked Shi Shen to give him a horse, and then left from the south gate.

He didn't choose any of them, whether it was out of remorse or the last temperament.

Fang Linyuan didn't ask any more.

He understands the truth of gathering and scattering, and he also knows that Lin Zimiao is young and strong in martial arts, even if he is penniless, he will not go without him.

The dust has settled on Emperor Hongyou, seeing that the emperor has become a wasted person, and the three princes have committed such a rebellious mistake, and no one in the court has any objections to Zhao Pu for the time being.

Qin Tianjian also received Zhao Pu's order and methodically began to survey the stars and select the auspicious day for Zhao Pu's accession to the throne.

At dusk the next day, Fang Linyuan saw the general who had come back from Longxi to deliver good news.

He is very familiar with the general, it is under the command of Zhuo Fangyou, called Cao Yangqiu, and now he is only in his twenties, but he has been with him for a few years.

As soon as the tanned young general saw Fang Linyuan and saluted, he rushed up excitedly to salute.

"General!" He said. "It's been a year, and I've finally met the general!"

The two of them met in the garrison, so Fang Linyuan took him to a nearby restaurant and ordered two pots of Huadiao wine unique to Beijing.

After two glasses of wine, Cao Yangqiu smiled at Fang Linyuan: "General Zhuo said that the wine in Beijing was sweet before, but I didn't believe it, but now I taste it, it's really like sweet water." ”

Fang Linyuan made him laugh, and didn't forget to ask, "Let's talk about the important thing first." I see that the battle report sent back by Longxi is very sloppy, what is the specific battle situation? ”

Speaking of this, Cao Yangqiu came to the spirit.

He said that the battle report was very urgent at that time, and Jingli sent General Fang again. General Zhuo was afraid that he would be worried, and as soon as the battle was over, he hurriedly sent the results of the battle back to Beijing first.

It was the same as Fang Linyuan guessed.

The Yumen Pass is a very wide area, and it is a large pass that is located in the sky, and it is much easier to defend than the Tiger Prison Pass.

Fang Linyuan's strategy for guarding the customs in advance, which is commonly known as the "Dinghou Policy" in Longxi, is indeed thorough and detailed, and Zhuo Fangyou implemented it step by step, and the Yumen Pass was guarded impermeable.

In addition, Fang Linyuan and Zhao Pu sent gold and silver, all of which were exchanged for grain seeds and farm tools and distributed to the people in various towns in Longxi, confiscated their silver money, and only took 10% of the harvest during the autumn harvest to fill the grain and grass stationed in each city.

So this year, Longxi had abundant grain and grass, strong soldiers and strong horses, and the Turkic soldiers who were hungry and cold were beaten away in just two days.

Speaking of this, Cao Yangqiu couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

"Now the soldiers of Longxi say that you are a divine soldier! When the Yumen Pass was lost, you were still a child, and you returned to Beijing only a few days after retaking the city pass. ”

Hearing him praise like this, Fang Linyuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"That's an exaggeration." He said. "The city pass is what you defended, and I'm just talking on paper."

"If you can win a battle on paper, that's a monstrous skill!" Speaking of this, Cao Yangqiu showed an angry look on his face.

"But none of us expected that it was not you who came to Yumen Pass. On the way here, I heard all about the capital, and the emperor didn't even trust you. Fortunately, the women of the Fifth Highness did not let the eyebrows be shaved, if you are serious...... The birds are all hidden, how can the border soldiers not chill! ”

Fang Linyuan hurriedly interrupted him, and said with a straight face: "Don't talk about the king." ”

Cao Yangqiu's expression was clearly still muttering.

After all, that gentleman may not be able to be a monarch for a few days.

But he had always respected Fang Linyuan, and when he heard Fang Linyuan say this, he also stopped the topic.

"But the Fifth Highness is really a heroine among women!"

&

nbsp; "What do you mean by that?" Fang Linyuan asked.

"I entered the palace to see me this morning, and I went to the morning court with me." Cao Yangqiu said with a smile. "Now that His Royal Highness is in power, we are naturally convinced, but many adults in the court are still not convinced. However, His Royal Highness has a strong wrist, and people are also resolute, I see that those adults don't dare to do anything except muttering a few words in a weird way. ”

When Fang Linyuan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Pu is very good at doing things, of course he knows. But from other people's mouths, it's still different.

Speaking of this, Cao Yangqiu couldn't help but ask again: "But, general, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Fang Linyuan looked at him and saw that he seemed to be unable to speak, and his dark face was a little red.

"We have all dynasties...... There has never been an empress. Cao Yangqiu said. You ...... that general."

"Don't worry about me." Fang Linyuan said. "But speaking of which, I really have something to ask you."

"General, you say!"

"The soldiers in Longxi were all brought out by me, of course I am relieved." Fang Linyuan said.

Cao Yangqiu nodded again and again.

"This is the first time I have discovered that if the art of war is appropriate enough, and if you learn from the strengths of others and act according to the place, you can also win a victory on the spot according to the map. Then, if the generals of the four realms can be able to defend the city so safely, presumably the current peace can last longer. ”

Hearing him say this, Cao Yangqiu also nodded.

"It's just a pity that not everyone can write such an impeccable art of war like you, the general." He nodded, then sighed again.

"It doesn't have to be me. Like Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she is like a god who commands the sailors, and not everyone can do it. Fang Linyuan said.

Hearing him say this, Cao Yangqiu nodded thoughtfully, but he was still puzzled.

"So, what does the general think?" He asked.

"I want to ......," Fang Linyuan pondered.

"If there is also a place in Beijing that can train new soldiers and generals, as Taixue, so that generals from all over the country can have the opportunity to exchange and study with each other alternately and learn tactics when the border is peaceful, presumably Daxuan will not be worried about the lack of good generals, let alone secondment and use each other in wartime, and be in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan thought for a while and said again.

"Inevitably, the professors studied strategies on paper, and I think the methods that my brother came up with back then could have been used. Separate the soldiers and horses, prepare the posture of the battle, and then order different generals to lead the troops separately, so as to practice and drill. He said.

"We've done this for a couple of years when we're at the border, and so far, it's doable."

Hearing Fang Linyuan say this, Cao Yangqiu's eyes lit up.

"Is there such a good thing?" He said. "Then, you can not only learn new tactics and tactics, but also rely on simulated drills to verify the feasibility!"

Speaking of this, Cao Yangqiu's face turned red with excitement.

"General, I think this move is feasible!" He said.

"It wasn't a day's work." Fang Linyuan said. "However, I think that this year's new nuclear tax policy will be feasible in Jiangnan to choose the method of urban experimentation. In short, the four realms are now peaceful, and they can be gradual and gradual to prepare for the needs of war. ”

Cao Yangqiu's head nodded like pounding garlic, and he toasted Fang Linyuan several glasses of wine in a row.

After drinking, he had already begun to dip his fingers in the wine, and compared with Fang Linyuan, Yumen Pass can now divide the generals and captains into many batches to take turns to enter Beijing for study and exchange, so as to ensure that there are enough soldiers and generals to guard the border pass.

Later, Fang Linyuan was a little drunk.

"There is no need to rush this matter." He said to Cao Yangqiu drunkenly. "Gotta figure it out."

"What is the general afraid of!" Cao Yangqiu smiled. "Now it's your wife. If you tell her about it, will she agree? ”

When Fang Linyuan heard this, he held on to the wine glass and laughed.

"That's not how it was said." He said. "Private feelings and official affairs must be separated, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke about social affairs? If this matter is really feasible, it is to change the control of the Great Xuan Army, if something goes wrong, I am sorry for the ancestors of heaven and earth, and I am sorry for the people. ”

Cao Yangqiu was already too drunk to understand his words.

"You say, if you go to your wife, will she agree?" He slurred his words and asked only one by one.

Fang Linyuan laughed when he asked.

He agreed. When he spoke again, his smiling voice softened.

"He'll say yes to anything." He smiled, his eyes reflected the swaying wine in his glass, and his eyes brightened brightly.

"He's always been a nice guy to me." He said.

"Nice, nice people."

——

When Fang Linyuan returned to Yuntai Palace, he saw Zhao Pu sitting on the couch in front of the window, with a big coat on his shoulders and a roll of official documents in his hand.

On the table not far away, folds were piled up like a hill.

Zhao Pu had never been so busy before. When he used to go to Huaiyu Pavilion every day, Zhao Pu was reading and burning incense.

Seeing Fang Linyuan coming back, Wu Xinghai bowed down and retreated silently.

"Drinking?" As soon as Zhao Pu raised his eyes, he could already smell the aroma of wine on his body.

Fang Linyuan nodded and walked over to him.

He had just drunk more, and when he went out, the cold wind blew, and his head was dizzy.

Until he entered the room, the cold fragrance of osmanthus on Zhao Pu's body was lingering in the dense heating.

He couldn't help but lean in.

Seeing this, Zhao Pu laughed lightly twice, leaned sideways to give him a place, and held him in his arms when he sat down: "Drink so much, are you very happy today?" ”

Fang Linyuan nodded, and looked at Zhao Pu's table again: "Why haven't you finished your work yet?" ”

Zhao Pu circled him, poured tea to sober him up, and said with a smile: "There is nothing left, but there is still a little left to be pondered." Can you help me take a look? ”

As he spoke, he put the teacup in Fang Linyuan's hand, and pushed the paperwork in his hand in front of Fang Linyuan.

Fang Linyuan lowered his eyes, and saw that it was several documents issued by the officials and transferred by the generals.

It was Yanzhou's guard general Tan Ji who was disposed of, and even many Wenchen generals with the entire Yanzhou were disposed of. It is easy to talk about civil officials, but the absence of generals has not yet been resolved.

Now the guard general of Yanzhou is still temporarily replaced by the deputy general, and now that the year has passed, another courtier has written to Zhao Pu to appoint a new general as soon as possible.

Fang Linyuan couldn't help but put down the tea, and flipped a few more backwards.

"The servant of the ministry proposes to promote the deputy general to the main general." Zhao Pu said. "I asked the military department to pick a few candidates, and said that I would like to pick one here."

"I've seen that deputy general, although I didn't do anything for Tan Ji at that time, but I didn't bring two soldiers in total, I want to be more than loyal, but it's difficult to be a big responsibility." Fang Linyuan flipped through the adjutant general's paperwork and shook his head.

Zhao Pu: "Well, what about the others?" ”

After reading the next few pages, Fang Linyuan, who was drunk, couldn't help frowning: "Although these people serve in the military department, they are all civil officials from the imperial examination. Although Yanzhou has been peaceful for many years, it borders the grassland departments and Goryeo, and the border is an important town, which is also too hasty. ”

Zhao Pu nodded.

"It's not for the military department to be hasty, but for the government and the opposition, and these are the only military attaches that can be used now."

Fang Linyuan looked up at Zhao Pu.

"They don't have to be the only ones." He said.

Zhao Pu's eyes flashed slightly, and then he laughed softly: "I think what we think of is the same person." ”

It is self-evident who this man is.

Now in the entire Shangjing City, the most prominent military exploits, except for Fang Linyuan, there is only the widowed eldest princess.

"However, the eldest sister has only led the sailor so far, and I don't know if she can lead the people on land." Zhao Pu said. "In addition, the gap in Yanzhou has been filled, and if we have to clear the army in the future, presumably the gap will only be greater. Right now, even if I have the heart, I'm a bit of a mouse-thrower."

"Eldest sister, don't worry." Fang Linyuan said. "The arrangement of troops is all the same, and the terrain of the naval division is more complicated than the land march, but it is much more difficult."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Pu.

I saw that Zhao Xuan's eyebrows were slightly downcast, but his eyes were very focused, listening to him carefully.

At this moment, Fang Linyuan suddenly realized that whether some ideas were feasible or not did not necessarily require him to think deeply and completely before he could say them.

He stared at Zhao Pu and blinked for a moment.

Maybe discuss it with Zhao Pu? The two of them became married, and they were one.

I saw Zhao Pu smiling lightly, his eyebrows were calm, and his voice was gentle.

"What's the idea? Go ahead. ”

Fang Linyuan smiled embarrassedly.

I drank too much wine, and I couldn't hide anything from my face.

"Nothing." He said. "I'm just thinking, the vacancy of the generals you mentioned may also have a way."

"It's selling off." Zhao Xuan smiled, lowered his head and was about to kiss him.

Fang Linyuan was talking about business, and he wanted to hide, but it wasn't until this moment that he found that except for a few paddles blocking his way, there were Zhao Pu in all directions.

He let the cold incense attract him, and he fell into the trap early. ：，n..，.
