The main reason was that after they left the farm, they needed to disguise themselves and hide from others, so that others would think they were still at the farm and would not know that they had visited He Xingzhang.
Daizhou Guard has a history of hundreds of years, and its middle name has changed several times. In this dynasty, after Shen Can's suggestion, it became Daizhou Guard.
The Daizhou Guard has the jurisdiction of 10,000 troops and has the privilege of acting expeditiously according to the enemy situation on the border. It only needs to write a memorial and report it afterwards.
And because he is very capable and Shen Can and the emperor trust him, he has been going smoothly in Daizhou over the years.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian went to Daizhou Guard overnight. Daizhou Guard implements the fortress model. They have their own troops stationed in the fields. On weekdays, the soldiers need to train, and they have to farm after training. If there is military situation, they need to go to war. .
And they are all military households, and the whole family belongs to the army. The men go out to train for war, and the women give birth to children in the fort.
He Xingzhang's base camp is in Yangjiabao, with suspension bridges, walls, sentries, and turrets, just like a small city.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian took a look outside. It was not impossible to fly in using Qinggong, but this would seem a bit insincere to He Xingzhang.
So they asked for an audience from the gate, and Shen Mingzhu only told the captain guarding the gate that she was recommended by an old friend in Beijing.
The people here are all He Xingzhang's cronies, and they are beyond the reach of the powerful people in the capital. Moreover, they farm fields, are self-sufficient, and can also ensure the peace of the border. The emperor trusts him, so his life is quite comfortable.
The captain took one look at them and immediately went to report them.
Soon the two of them were taken to the command post office.
He Xingzhang was dealing with some official correspondence. Anyone who saw powerful officials in the DPRK wanting to interfere in his affairs would be thrown into the toilet without even looking at them.
The clerk who was waiting next to him wrinkled his nose slightly. The smell of the toilet was really not very good, but he couldn't hide even if the commander asked.
Originally, he gave the commander a new toilet specifically for throwing these official letters, but the commander found it tasteless and had to use the smelly toilet.
After reading the large official document, the clerk felt like he was going to faint.
At this time, the captain came to report that an old friend from Beijing was visiting.
The clerk's eyes lit up and he immediately said to He Xingzhang: "Sir, could it be the Prime Minister?"
He Xingzhang was also a little surprised. Although Shen Can was kind to him, Shen Can was also very hypocritical and often avoided suspicion towards him.
As long as it was not a critical matter, he would not care about it. Even if He Xingzhang suffered some losses, he would seem to be indifferent, for fear of being accused of being a clique for personal gain.
But if someone is too long-handed and wants to frame He Xingzhang, Shen Can will still fight for it.
And because Shen Can and He Xingzhang never interacted in private on weekdays, no one could say anything.
The emperor also praised Shen Can for being a famous prime minister and for his determination to select talents for the country.
There was only official correspondence between He Xingzhang and Shen Can. He did not even dare to show a single word of personal concern in the official letters for fear that Shen Can would be angry.
Now that he heard that an old friend from Beijing was coming, how could He Xingzhang not be surprised?
He really has no old friends in Beijing except Shen Can.
