Xie Yan said that the Wuwei Army has things to deal with these days, mainly referring to the matter of rectifying the Wuwei Army.
Xie Yan was originally very dissatisfied with the lax armament of the Armed Guards. When King Ning rebelled a few years ago, the commander of the first battalion of the Armed Guards and his soldiers participated in the rebellion, which made Xie Yan even more dissatisfied.
The soldiers and horses that exist specifically to defend the capital are as useless as the Royal Forest Army.
Considering that the Royal Guards were closer to the emperor, Xie Yan didn't know who was more useless. He could only say that it was his great luck that King Ning did not rebel half a year earlier.
Xie Yan was furious and ordered the entire armed guard army to be reorganized, instead of having the four battalions of the East, West, North, and South reorganize themselves as previously planned. This was almost a major change of blood for the entire army.
Naturally, this was an extremely huge project. As the general of the Weiwu Army, Yu Mingqiu couldn't wait for the end of the New Year. It had just passed the third day of the Lunar New Year and the whole Guards Army was already busy.
Xie Yan needs to go to the Armed Guards in the past few days to discuss the reorganization of the Armed Guards with Yu Mingqiu and other generals, and he doesn't have to go to court, so it is naturally more convenient to live outside the city.
Yu Mingqiu and Xie Yan went to the study to discuss matters. Wei Changting followed Leng Shuang and ran away to nowhere, leaving only Luo Jinyan and Luo Junyao sitting in a warm little pavilion drinking tea.
Luo Junyao held the hot tea that had just been brewed, looked at Luo Jinyan and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to discuss official business with A Yan and General Yu?"
Luo Jinyan said nonchalantly: "That is an official matter that the Regent and General Yu need to discuss, not mine. I am just the commander of the first battalion, not the commander of the armed guards."
"Oh?" Luo Junyao raised her eyebrows. She had seen her eldest brother participate in so many important things so much that she was used to thinking that he would be involved in everything.
Luo Jinyan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head and said: "Some things can be participated in, and some things are insurmountable. What's more, I was originally the temporary commander-in-chief of Dongda Camp. Logically speaking, I should step down when General Yu comes back."
Xie Yan asked him to temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief of Dongda camp. This was a temporary measure. First, the Wuwei army was really in bad shape and needed capable people to rectify it. Second, the Dingguo army had nothing to do in Shangyongben. Luo Jinyan was the same as Luo Jinxing.
Spending all day in the army is a waste.
But now that the Wuwei Army has Yu Mingqiu in command, he can naturally suppress the generals below. The effectiveness of the reorganization of the various battalions of the Wuwei Army depends entirely on how the commander Yu Mingqiu does it. Luo Jinyan, the commander of the first battalion, does not have much influence.
Luo Junyao held up his chin and said, "That's right. When I heard what A Yan said before, I thought he was going to persuade you to abandon the military and join the civil service. Who knew that he would let you go to the Military Guard Army again."
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Luo Junyao blinked and suddenly realized, "Brother, are you really not a general?"
Luo Jinyan said: "Father can still control the Dingguo Army for twenty years." In the short term, the Dingguo Army has no big battles to fight. The Dingguo Army has Luo Yun in charge, and Luo Jinyan can only guard the border at most.
But Luo Jinxing can do these things just as well. There are many generals under the command of the Dingguo Army who are higher than Luo Jinyan. Luo Jinyan has no reason to compete for errands with his colleagues at such a young age.
"Dad is working so hard." Twenty years later, dad will be almost 70, so he will be retired at a very old age, right?
This is of course a joke. If a famous general of a generation is disbanded and returns home early, he will regret not only the world, but also himself.
Nowadays, the Duke of Yongxun, Zhongcheng, and Lu Guogong were also famous generals at that time, and they once fought with Luo Yun. However, they could only stay at home due to injuries early on. Although there is no lack of glory and wealth, and there are many descendants, they are still more or less still.
A bit lonely.
Luo Jinyan flicked her on the forehead, and Luo Junyao could only cover his forehead and said: "Then what will the eldest brother do after leaving the Wuwei Army?"
Luo Jinyan said: "Governor Ning Huai."
"You want to leave Shangyong?!" Luo Jun was startled and couldn't help shouting in a higher voice.
Ninghuai is the collective name of Ningzhou and Huaizhou in the southwest of Dasheng.
The governor is the highest official in each place. There are only thirteen governors in Dasheng. These are the real officials of the frontier.
but……
"Brother, are you leaving Shangyong?" Luo Junyao said with some reluctance, "Isn't it very chaotic over there in Southern Xinjiang? Huaizhou is next to Southern Xinjiang..." In fact, not only Huaizhou is next to Southern Xinjiang, but Ningzhou is also
Bordering southern Xinjiang.
Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? Your eldest brother is a military commander." Most local officials are civil servants, but the governor has all the power over the military, government, economy and people's livelihood in a place. It would be fine under normal circumstances, but now that southern Xinjiang is unsettled, the court wants to send
It makes sense for an official with experience in leading troops to be in charge of Ningxia and Huaihua.
This is also an old practice in the previous dynasty. In the previous dynasty, there was a governor with the title of Minister of War. But Xie Yan planned to directly send an experienced general there.
Moreover, Xie Yan's appointment of a general as the governor of Ninghuai was also a signal to the outside world.
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "What's more... the governor is of the second rank. How many people want to go but can't."
Luo Junyao couldn't refute it. Luo Jinyan was only in his early twenties. If he were directly promoted from the third rank general to the second rank officer in the court, he would not be able to convince the public no matter what.
I didn’t see that Prince Wei was originally a second-rank general and was transferred to the Ministry of Hubu, but now he is still working hard for the position of Minister of Hubu. In this way, whether he can be the Minister of Hubu depends on his own ability.
, the court and the government are still arguing about it, Luo Jinyan is several years younger than Wei Changting.
As soon as Xie Yan came back, he used young people in large numbers and occupied important positions, which made many veterans in the court feel uneasy.
If Luo Jinyan wants to ascend, he can only go to places that others can't go and do things that others can't do.
As long as the imperial court successfully resolves the southern border, Luo Jinyan, the governor of Ninghuai, will naturally contribute a lot. When he comes back, he will be a first-class official and there will be nothing to say that Xie Yan is showing favoritism.
"What about Sister Su?" Luo Junyao asked.
Luo Jinyan sighed softly and said, "I want to talk to Miss Su and ask her...if she would like to go to the south with me."
Luo Junyao was stunned, "Going to Southern Xinjiang with you? But Sister Su has already agreed to be a teacher at Anlan Academy, so she probably won't agree." If she agreed to Luo Jinyan these days, it wouldn't just mean that the two of them would go together.
Starting a business, in the eyes of outsiders, is equivalent to agreeing to marry the Luo family. Even if the two don't get married, Su Rui may not be able to get out of Shangyong.
Luo Jinyan glanced at her and said, "This is my business, but it's yours... Shake, is there something you forgot to tell your family?"
Luo Junyao said with some confusion: "Is there any?"
Luo Jinyan snorted and said, "How did I hear that you are going to be the headmaster of Anlan Academy?"
"Ah...this..." Luo Junyao fainted for a moment. She really forgot to tell her father and eldest brother about this matter.
"This...isn't this not confirmed yet? I'm going to give dad and eldest brother a surprise." Luo Junyao said with an upright face.
Luo Jinyan said with a half-smile, "Really?"
"Yes." Luo Junyao said without any guilt. It didn't take long for her to really make up her mind. She just accidentally forgot about it. Who makes the New Year too many things?
"Brother, let's talk about Sister Su." Luo Junyao said, "It's hard for Sister Su to agree to go with you. Why do you think you can persuade her?"
Luo Jinyan frowned slightly and said, "I've learned a little about Miss Su's thoughts these days. I don't think she just wants to be an ordinary gentleman in Anlan Academy, right?"
"So?" Luo Junyao asked.
Luo Jinyan said: "I am Governor Ning Huai."
"Uh-huh?"
Luo Jinyan said: "I have the final say in Ningzhou and Huaizhou. Moreover, these two places are close to southern Xinjiang. The folk customs are not as conservative as those in Shangyong, and the restrictions on women are not strict. No matter what Miss Su wants,
Whatever you do, you can try it there.”
Luo Junyao's eyes also lit up, but he soon hesitated, "But... if you talk like this, even if Sister Su agrees, you and her will still..."
Luo Jinyan didn't care and said calmly: "How can we have feelings if we don't even get along with each other? If the final result is still unsatisfactory, I will naturally not force it and will arrange a way out for Miss Su."
Luo Junyao held her forehead and thought with a headache. If it was in her previous life, she could have said try it, and if it didn't work, she would let it go. But in this era, a woman's reputation is too troublesome.
If she were Su Rui, she would definitely accept Luo Jinyan's proposal. Luo Jinyan is a reliable character, and she can accept the damage to her reputation after the two break up.
But she was not sure whether Sister Su could also accept it.
After a long time, Luo Junyao sighed, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this is your business anyway, you can talk to Sister Su yourself. If she agrees, we will discuss countermeasures again. I won't put in a good word for you this time.
.”
Luo Jinyan smiled lightly but gently, "This is natural."
