Chapter 31 Plan ahead
"Brother Zhou!Zhou Yi!Lord Zhou!Mrs. Zhou!" In the haze, I vaguely heard Minmin's call from outside the door. Zhou Yi slowly opened his eyes, and Yishang beside him had already gotten up and went out, leaving only the messy bedding on the bed to show the madness of last night.
"Zhou Zhangyuan!" was indeed Min Min calling outside the door, and from this voice she could already hear that she was quite annoyed!
"Uh, Minmin, what's wrong!" replied weakly, stretching on the bed, exhaling the night's turbidity.
"What's the matter! It's noon, and you're still lingering in the bed! lazy!" she shouted indignantly outside the door, she didn't feel good in her heart, and she knew it last night. But although I acquiesced in this relationship, I was still a little unhappy in my heart.
"Oh, spring is sleepy, summer is lacking, autumn is weak, winter is just sleeping! This early summer, sleeping more is good for the body!" "Gentle Township is a hero's mound, naturally not a lie. Last night, under Yishang's tactful flattery, he was very lazy when he talked at this time.
"Poof!" Two chuckles sounded in a row, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Yishang and Xuan'er, who were also outside the door.
Zhao Min looked at the second daughter covering her mouth and chuckling, especially when she was more beautiful than Huajiao, her face was flushed after the rain and dew, and the feeling of grievance in her heart suddenly surged.
"Okay, then you can sleep! My father has received the decree and is about to go to Nightingale City immediately, I will go with me!" A voice of grievance came, Zhou Yi was not calm, he immediately turned over and got up, put on a pajama and strode to the door and hugged Min Min.
"Minmin, don't! If you go, I won't have to go south with you!" he sniffed the tip of Zhao Min's hair affectionately, and muttered a sentence in his mouth.
"Hmph, the two girls are here! You are not ashamed!" Zhao Min's face was blushing, and he did not refuse him in front of Yishang and Xuan'er. He is the childhood sweetheart he promised, and the real lady in the future, if it seems too bad.
"Hehe, since they are all sisters, what are you worried about!, right?Yishang, Xuan'er!" Yishang turned her little face and smiled bitterly, but Xuan'er looked at it and nodded excitedly.
"By the way, you just said that the Zhongzhi has come, why don't you call me?" Then I remembered what Zhao Min said just now, Chahan had received the order and was about to go to work, and wondered why he didn't inform himself.
"Sister Zhao said that you were tired last night, so you didn't let us wake you up!" Seeing him ask, Xuan'er hurriedly said. As a result, Yisheng's face turned crimson when he said this, and he slapped her in shame. What a word! What a tiredness!
"Uh, Sister Yishang, what's wrong? Didn't Sister Zhao say that!" Xuan'er frowned and looked at Yishang's innocent blinking eyes, I felt pity for that kind of look, but in this situation, Zhou Yi and Zhao Min couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmph, ignore you, you know how to bully me!" Yishang looked at Zhou Yi and Zhao Min with a wicked smile, and the ignorant Xuan'er went into the house in shame to clean up the room.
"Yishang, you and Xuan'er are busy first, I'll go see Minmin's father and brother!" said to the inner room, took Zhao Min's hand and walked outside.
"Hmm!" replied in a low voice, and Xuan'er hurried in to help.
The two walked to the outer courtyard, and Chahan and the others had been living in the front yard, guarded by the two elders of Xuan Ming.
"Uncle, what does Your Majesty say?" Stepping into Chahan's small courtyard, he had already seen Wang Baobao directing the Zhou Mansion to pack up their things, and it seemed that they were preparing to leave.
"Oh, it turned out that Lord Zhou had arrived!" Chahan saw the two coming hand in hand, and said to Zhou Yiyi.
"Uncle, don't call me that! Just treat me as a nephew and call me by my name!"
Of course, Chahan knew why he was so persistent, and watched his baby daughter holding his hand affectionately, with a sweet look, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. Everyone who is a father may have this feeling, and the daughter who has been pulling her since she was a child, seeing that she is going to hand it over to another man, the reluctance in her heart is indescribable.
However, as long as her daughter is happy, there is no need to dwell on this matter.
"Zhou Yi, I know the relationship between you and Min Min, I just hope that you will not lose her! Min Min has been spoiled by me since she was a child, this temperament is not as supple as ordinary women, you have to take care of it a little more! As long as Min Min can be happy, I will have nothing to ask for as a father!" Cha Han looked at Min Min dotingly and said to Zhou Yi.
"Uncle rest assured, Zhou Yi will live up to Minmin!" At this time, it is natural to make a statement, so that his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, can rest assured.
"Well! You rescued Min Min that day, it must not be that simple, I don't ask carefully, but in my heart I understand your heart for her! I haven't passed the test of life and death, and I can't see a person's sincerity! The emperor has already issued an edict asking me to rush to Nightingale City to take up my post. That's where you started, if you have any explanation, just say it, I will let you rest assured!" You don't have to think about it to know what the price of rescuing the dead will not be so easy. Being able to pay so much for Minmin, Zhou Yi's affection can be seen.
Looking at this prospective son-in-law, thinking that the place where he went to work was won by him, he naturally made some arrangements. Without waiting for Zhou Yiming to say, Chahan took the initiative to ask for help.
"Uncle is relieved, that Nightingale City is the residence of the eight half-elves, and the relationship between me and the eight is clear to both His Majesty and the imperial court, so I won't embarrass you. Uncle is going to take up his post here, although the internal civil affairs let go of the management of the Eight Princes, communicate more with the King of Yunjun and the King of Yuejun, and firmly grasp the Eight Banners externally, it must be fine!" "The loyalty and dependence of the Half-Elf Eight Divisions on themselves can be trusted, especially when they open a Wenwu Academy and accept a wide range of half-elf children to enroll, from nobles to commoners, they are grateful to themselves.
"Hehe, you don't have to hide it in front of me, although I am not from a local background, I have also learned about the inside of the empire these days. The military academy and the court are in the army, and the academy of literature controls the court, although you are in charge of the court, there is nowhere to do it! The half-elf eight divisions and the Eight Banners Legion are very important in the southern war, so naturally they can't do nothing!
Of course, if you can't believe me, then naturally there is no need to say much, after I take office, Xiao Guicao will be casually!" "I know in my heart that Zhou Yi has good intentions and doesn't want to work hard for these things, but looking at the appearance of the prospective son-in-law and his daughter with a look of attachment, how can he, as a father, not share his worries for his son-in-law!"
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly, he did have some plans in the Eight Banners Legion in case of emergency, and he was unwilling to work with him. It can be seen that Chahan has an arrogant face, thinking of the story of his command of millions of troops back then, so he has to tell what he thinks in his heart.
"Now among the millions of troops in the empire, only the Seventh and Ninth Army Corps are in the hands of His Majesty, although several armies in this imperial capital show that only the royal family is subordinate on the surface, but how many of them are really obeying the emperor's orders, I am afraid it is not accurate.
Now that His Majesty is alive and well, with the support of the Academy of Literature, there is nothing important! But I have investigated His Majesty's body, and it has run out of oil, and I am afraid that it will not be able to delay for a long time. Once His Majesty dies, it is unknown whether the eldest prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly. The eldest prince has never been waiting to see the people in the Holy Court, and he only trusts me when he counts the princes in the Holy Court in the court!
With such an attitude, how could the All Saints' Academy, headed by the Academy of Literature, have no other plans!? When the time comes, I will definitely fight for him to the end above the court, but without the support of the army, I am afraid that there will be drastic changes in the shape of the empire, and it is not impossible to cause a split!
Originally, I planned to let the Eight Commanders take the lead in pulling out a large army in the Eight Half-Elf Divisions, but I was a little uneasy in my heart. After all, the empire has really been unkind to the half-elf eight for thousands of years, and the half-elf actually does not recognize the empire in his heart. If they have an army that can affect the empire, I fear that something unpredictable will happen.
If my uncle is willing to take the lead, I will be much more relieved. When my uncle arrived at Nightingale City, he quickly summoned the king of the eight divisions and conveyed my intentions. I want the Eighth Division to raise at least 200,000 troops within three months, and this army will be handed over to my uncle for training, and the officers and assistants at all levels will be drawn from the Eight Banners Legion, and the preliminary training must be completed within two months.
Again, I immediately wrote a letter to the Seventh and Ninth Legions, asking my uncle to forward it to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. The eldest brother of Kuku has been trained in the army with his uncle for many years, and he is very familiar with the battle of commanding the army, so he asked the eldest prince to rush back to the capital immediately, hand over the two major armies to the commander of the eldest brother, and garrison them in Pingman City to practice day and night.
If there is a change in the situation in the court, I will send someone to inform my uncle with a sealed letter, and my uncle will lead the half-elf army to deter the legions and elven empires in Manchuan Pass, and suppress the situation in Vientiane County and Baiyue County of the empire for me. As long as there is no change in the direction of Manchuan Pass, the elves cannot go north, and the shape will not be erosive. And Brother Kuku commanded the Seventh and Ninth Army Corps to enter Chuyang City, and I will send Tianjimen to assist, Chuyang City will guard the water and land hub of the north and south, and if Chuyang City has nothing to do, it will be convenient for the south to have nothing to do. ”
Chahan and the others, including Min Min, had also heard Zhou Yi talk about the shape of the court for the first time, and they really didn't expect that there was such a big crisis hidden in the calm empire. And Zhou Yi's arrangement is also targeted, the south is the empire's grain endowment, as long as the shape of the south remains unchanged, then as long as he reverses the situation in the court, the empire will not be greatly damaged!
Chahan pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "It turns out that the situation is so difficult! I don't know if the king of the eight divisions can be of the same heart as you! If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and I am not completely sure that I can control the army of half-elves!"
At present, the situation in the empire is stable, and the country is incomparably powerful, this half-elf is naturally the head of Zhou Yi! But if the empire is in chaos, who dares to guarantee that they will not have different intentions!
"Xu Huai!" Zhou Yi shouted loudly towards the outside of the courtyard, and Xu Huai, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, walked in with dozens of disciples of the Tianji Sect.
"Uncle, this Xu Huai is an old man who has been with me since I was in the Ninth Legion, and he is an old subordinate brought out by my mentor, Marshal Huangfu. Today, I will let him follow you, and he is familiar with all the affairs of this half-elf, the seventh and ninth legions. If there is anything you can't get rid of, you can consult him!" With Zhou Yi's introduction, Xu Huai straightened his back and stared at Chahan without blinking.
