After Tong Shizhang got off duty, he rushed home without saying a word, and when he entered the door, he kept going all the way to his brother Tong Jiulin's study.

When I went in, I saw Tong Jiulin writing something in front of the desk, Tong Jiulin's face was calm and relaxed, as if he was not a courtier who was busy and did not touch the ground, but a reclusive calligrapher.

His already anxious mood saw the leisurely Tong Jiulin even more irritable.

He walked over, didn't even have time to untie the weapon, slapped his palm on the desk, and the paperweight trembled, not to mention Tong Jiulin's words, the long pinch directly shook into a tadpole shape.

Tong Jiulin's brows furrowed, but he seemed to have thought of something good, and he didn't scold Tong Shizhang, but shook the rice paper in front of him aside with a good temper, and picked up a new one, as if he was planning to rewrite it.

Tong Shizhang's eyes widened, and he slapped the center of the rice paper, looking at Tong Jiulin suspiciously.

"Brother, did you go behind my back to someone else's door?"

Your nephew was kicked in the nose and face, why are you still in such a good mood, you won't be a spy sent by the Six Princes, right? How did I not know about this, just because I am not the head of the house?

Tong Jiulin didn't even need to ask Tong Shizhang what he was thinking, he could get what he wanted just from Tong Shizhang's face.

He angrily slapped the ink-stained pen on the table, and the splashes of ink flew to Tong Shizhang's hand.

Tong Shizhang rubbed the back of his hand on the snow-white rice paper with a disgusted face, and rubbed the rice paper twice at once.

Tong Jiulin was displeased, and scolded: "You can't buy one of this rice paper for one or two silver outside!" Keep your dirty hands away! ”

Tong Shizhang looked indifferent, he looked at Tong Jiulin, and said angrily: "Brother, what are you thinking, can you make it clearer?" The sixth prince robbed the fourth boy of his military exploits, what do you mean by being so happy? Did you dig a pit for the Six Princes? ”

The battle has not yet been fought, but Tong Shizhang already feels that the six princes robbing Qin Zhiyan's work is equivalent to robbing Qin Zhiyan's military exploits.

Tong Shizhang didn't expect this before he came in, but when he saw that Tong Jiulin was not panicked at all, he was still in a good mood, and the only bit of IQ or a little intuition that Tong Jiulin had pit since he was a child calmed him down.

He and his brother watched Qin Zhiyan grow up, although Qin Zhiyan is not the blood of the Tong family, but he grew up in front of Concubine Tong Shuyan since he was a child, Concubine Tong has the grace of nurturing Qin Zhiyan, Qin Zhiyan also knows how to repay Entu, after the Tong family saw Qin Zhiyan's extraordinary, they stood firmly behind Qin Zhiyan and became one of the backbones of King Jia's forces.

Tong Jiulin has a good brain, he is taking the road of the imperial examination, and now he is already the left deputy capital of the third grade. He is not a six-part system, but a member of the Inspectorate, the duties of the Inspectorate are very miscellaneous, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple constitutes three justices, and with the six departments constitute a speech and official system.

Tong Shizhang is not good at learning, but he is strong in force, and now he is a general from the fourth rank Jin Wuwei (I really can't understand the position of the Ming Dynasty, so I can only make it up blindly, and I don't have to study it).

Although they did not have the positions of the officials of the six ministries, their power was also very great, and their advice reached the heavens, and they were the ears and eyes of the emperor among the hundred officials, and even the mouth.

Being able to become a second-in-command in such a system is enough to prove Tong Jiulin's ability and Emperor Qitai's trust in him.

Before Tong Jiulin became the head of the Tong family, he was a declining nobleman, relying on Concubine Tong Shu in the palace to survive, but after Tong Jiulin was born, the Tong family had already turned from decline to prosperity.

Tong Shizhang was anxious before thinking that the royal situation was beyond the control of Tong Jiulin and Qin Zhiyan, but after finding that Tong Jiulin was calm, he quickly calmed down.

He was on duty outside, patrolling the capital every day, and the news he obtained was not as good as Tong Jiulin, and things may not be as bad as he imagined.

Tong Jiulin saw that his younger brother finally reacted, and said angrily: "They are all forty years old, one mouth is still a bastard, the sixth prince Tianhuang is noble, how can I dig a pit for him." ”

Tong Shizhang didn't squeak, but he obviously didn't listen to it, Tong Jiulin could only try to widen his eyes a little, when Tong Shizhang could see the anger in his eyes and the distress of the wasted rice paper.

"Hurry, what does it look like!"

"Brother! You sour talents all look like they are dead, people are going to die in a hurry and are still chattering there! That ant hole doesn't have all the sour flowers and intestines of you! ”

Tong Jiulin raised his eyebrows, and after a few strokes, he pulled up the rice paper that was defiled by Tong Shizhang and smashed it in his face.

Tong Shizhang grabbed it and looked impatiently at his brother who had zero force value in front of him.

Tong Jiulin looked at such a big lump of pestle in front of him, and felt itchy hands, so he had no choice but to rub his hands in his sleeves, staring at his younger brother with an uncompetitive expression, eager to open his head and fill in his brain.

"Do you think anyone can be King Jia? Or do you think that marching and arranging troops can be done just by reading military books and memorizing history books? ”

When he said this, he sneered twice, but not at the person in front of him.

"The sixth prince felt that fighting a war was like a child's play, and felt that anyone with military power could be involved, so let him try it. Only if he tried it, that person could know that King Jia was unique, and it was the only choice he could wait for all these years. ”

Tong Jiulin was a man of letters, he didn't know anything about fighting, but he was a good politician, and he knew politics well.

In his eyes, fighting a war is a group of people fighting another group of people, no matter whether the other group of people is good or not, at least you have to have a group of people, right?

If it weren't for the different positions, Tong Jiulin would have wanted to carry the collar of the six princes and ask him, you have made a military order to beat people, which group of people do you use?

The southeast garrison Zhu Navy?

The smile on Tong Jiulin's face expanded, but it changed from a sneer to a mockery.

If Qin Yulin thought that he would be able to get the soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits from the hands of Huangfu Ji by going to the southeast and taking out a holy decree, then he could only laugh at Qin Yulin's innocence.

Even the one on the dragon chair has been eyeing Zhu Haijun for more than ten years without success, which onion is he Qin Yulin?

Last year, what kind of virtue was the five thousand Lisui army that Qin Zhiyan asked for from Cai Hongtai with a holy decree?

Cai Hongtai didn't give Qin Zhiyan even a formal Lisui army at all, and he used five thousand auxiliaries to send Qin Zhiyan away.

What are auxiliaries?

The army not only has soldiers who train day and night, but also civilian workers who are responsible for the lives of soldiers and will be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield when necessary. Compared with ordinary people, these migrant workers are also physically strong, but they have no experience in fighting at all, and their combat ability is about zero.

But Cai Hongtai allocated 5,000 people to Qin Zhiyan, saying that this was the Lisui Army, and Qin Zhiyan couldn't turn his face with him.
