"For such a big happy event, Captain Murong will have to treat them to a drink."
The news of Murong Shen's engagement spread among the imperial guards. Everyone who saw Murong Shen asked for congratulations.
Murong Shen responded calmly, not wanting to let strangers approach him, "I have to be on duty every month. It is not appropriate to drink alcohol."
Let the person who congratulates be disappointed.
The imperial guards gossiped in private: "They are all happy about their engagement. Look at Captain Murong, his face is frozen into ice and there is no joy at all."
"Hey, it's already that time. I miss Miss Zhao Liu very much! Miss Zhao Liu has a deep love with Prince Beihai and they are about to get married."
"If you don't deny it, it's useless to worry about it. Speaking of which, it's strange. Colonel Murong has a cold face all day long, and his temper is cold and smelly. Who would have thought that he wouldn't be in love with her."
"Hush! Let's stop talking. If those words reach Colonel Murong's ears, we will be in trouble."
"That's wrong. Colonel Murong's biological sister has asked to marry into the East Palace and become the crown prince's concubine. From now on, won't Colonel Murong become the prince's eldest brother-in-law?"
"Pull her down! The concubine should be denied as a concubine. How can Colonel Murong have such a big face?"
"Shut up, Colonel Murong is here."
A few chattering guards caught sight of a familiar figure from the corner of their eyes, and immediately stopped talking, each assuming a nonchalant expression.
Murong Shen was in a gloomy mood, so there is no need to elaborate.
That month, when Murong Shen was on duty, he bumped into Prince Beihai who came to see the saint.
The Crown Prince of Beihai laughed loudly and showed a disgusting and hateful face: "I heard that Colonel Murong is engaged and will ask for a bride at the end of the year. Congratulations!"
Murong Shen replied expressionlessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Jing smiled hatefully and walked slowly past Murong Shen. His words were heard by two people.
"Don't worry about what doesn't belong to me."
Murong Shen's eyes flashed with anger as he stared at Xu Jing's back.
Xu Jing suddenly turned his head and made a humiliating leg gesture towards Murong Shen.
Murong Shen: "..."
Bah! So childish and boring!
Is Zhao Xiyan so obsessed with something that she actually likes such a bastard?
…
Time flies, and two months pass by in a hurry.
During those two months, major and minor events in the DPRK continued.
First, the Duke of the country was appointed, and after leading the troops to pacify Bingzhou, the troops returned to the capital. According to the military practice, the army was repairing and recruiting new soldiers at the same time.
Life and death are uncertain on the battlefield. After every battle, there are soldiers who are killed or injured and can no longer serve in the battle. Recruiting new soldiers after the war is not a common practice in the military.
The Iron Guard Battalion requested to recruit 10,000 new soldiers. The Xiaoqi Battalion suffered heavy casualties in Jizhou and also requested to recruit 10,000 new soldiers. In addition, there was a new army formed by the Prince's Palace East. During those two months, all the military camps were very busy.
The eldest son of Duke Dingguo secretly went to Duke Dingguo and said, "Father, nine out of ten of the general's disciples have gone to the Tiger Camp of the New Army."
Duke Dingguo didn't take it seriously: "That's no wonder. Those who don't want to be crown princes from now on will take advantage of that time to lean close to Prince Dong. If it were him, he would do the same thing."
"They don't compete with the Prince's Palace. Of course, they can compete with the Prince's Palace if they want to."
"The Crown Prince has given the task of recruiting new soldiers to the Prince of Beihai, which shows that the Crown Prince has great trust and respect. I will interact with the Prince of Beihai more often in the future."
Prince Dingguo nodded in response, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Father, the prince's various actions are really puzzling."
"When he was in Jizhou, the prince ordered the prisoners to be killed. It turned out that it was Fe Murongyao who had a bad reputation."
"For several months, girls from the Murong family have been begging to be admitted to the East Palace. But it was only a concubine of the crown prince."
"It's very surprising that Murong Shen actually asked to marry a girl from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice. What's going on when a military general marries a civil servant?"
Duke Dingguo's eyes flashed: "Can't you see that? Could it be that the prince was dissatisfied with Murong and his son and suppressed the Murong family?"
"The Murong family are the emperor's slaves. They have been in charge of the imperial guards for generations. They look majestic, but in fact they are just vicious dogs raised by the emperor. The prince's slightest show of dissatisfaction is enough for Murong Yao and his son to drink from a pot."
The Crown Prince Dingguo exhaled: "It's true that my father has seen clearly and said it clearly."
Duke Dingguo smiled and sighed again: "At that age, he was very busy leading troops in battles and serving the Jin Dynasty. Wait until next year, he will retire and retire. From now on, the Iron Guard Camp will be handed over to him.
Me."
After a pause, he asked again: "Be of the same mind as Prince Diandong, and maintain good relations with Prince Beihai."
Duke Dingguo has stood in the court for decades, with precise and sophisticated eyes.
The Crown Prince of Dingguo responded solemnly to Dong.
…
With the prince's backing and plenty of money in his pocket, the recruitment of new soldiers went very smoothly. All 10,000 new soldiers were recruited in two months, much faster than expected.
The new army's barracks were also built with the hard work of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry day and night.
Xu Jing went there without touching the ground, and Prince Xihe and others also went to work on errands every month. They all ran out of the palace every day.
Of course, it is impossible to study in the study room.
Su Zhangyuan was quite critical of this, and privately told the prince: "The emperor is ordering the princes of the feudal lords to come to the capital. What is the purpose? With the intelligence of the emperor, I don't know."
"Those princes and princes of the feudal lords all have different temperaments, and none of them are good at all."
"The dirty things that Prince Yingchuan has done are dirty to the ears of my old ministers even if they tell me about them. This person has a wicked character and is a sinister person. The Lord of the Palace must be on guard against him."
"It seems that the Prince of Beihai, relying on the trust of the Emperor of the Palace, recruited new soldiers and won over the generals' disciples with great fanfare. Over time, if the climate becomes the same and the heart of Bu Ju is born, it will definitely become a serious problem for the Emperor of the Palace.
.Is it a good thing that Dian Dong is kind-hearted, but he should also be wary of others, so how can he trust the new army to the legs of the Prince of Beihai..."
The prince suddenly interrupted Su Zhangyuan with a warm voice: "Su Zhangyuan is loyal and he knows it all. Su Zhangyuan, don't worry, he knows what he knows."
Su Zhangyuan wanted to comment: "Dongdong, what do you think, veteran minister, do you think Diandong should send someone to keep an eye on the Prince of Beihai, or send someone to lead the new army? The recruitment of new soldiers has ended, and the training of soldiers must not be left to the Prince of Beihai."
Touch your legs..."
Before he could finish his words, he was gently interrupted by the prince: "Su Zhangyuan doesn't have to worry about that, he has already made arrangements."
Su Zhangyuandong asked consciously: "I wonder what the master's arrangements are?"
The prince did not answer the question and said with a smile: "Every month when he is in court to listen to politics, his cousins ask to go to the military camp to work as servants. The work in the study stops there. If he doesn't understand something, he will do it alone.
Ask Master Su for advice."
Su Zhangyuan encountered a soft nail, and San San should respond.
After receiving Donglai, Su Zhangyuan tried to speak again and again, but was blocked by Donglai. He had no choice but to keep silent.
