When Zhao Xi went out to fight, the debate in the court had just begun, and Houyuan already knew about it.
Tao Niang had no idea. She understood Zhao Xi. She had known it since she was a child. Her husband never failed to do whatever he wanted. So, she came to Ciming Palace for help with her son Zhao Shu... This name was given by Zhao Xi.
It's just bad taste.
"Xi'er, is the expedition to Guangnan a real thing?"
"Hui Niang, it's true. The child volunteers."
"Why?"
The Queen couldn't figure it out, why Xi'er had such thoughts.
Guangnan is a smog-stricken land. It is the place where people are sent to their families. Let alone wartime, even in peacetime, those who survive in Guangnan are the mercy of God. Why is Xi'er doing this?
"Mom, when your child becomes an adult, you should share your worries with your father. In recent days, due to the incident involving the thief, my father has been distracted a lot."
"Today the court has decided to send Di Hanchen as commander to lead the Western Army in the southern expedition. Di Hanchen is a military man and cannot be dedicated to his duties. If he is accompanied by civil servants, his orders may not be consistent, causing further chaos in the war situation."
"Furthermore, Guangnan West Road is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the frontline changes three times a day during the war. Di Hanchen's power to make emergency decisions should not be too heavy."
"To sum up, I think it is appropriate for me to go to war for this matter. It is for the sake of the country, the border, and to share the worries of my father. Please forgive me for what Xi'er has done."
Empress Cao is sensible. She agrees with what Zhao Xi said regardless of emotions and from the perspective of family and country. However, the official family is just like Xi'er. If there are three longs and two shorts... without three longs and two shorts, there will never be!
"Xi'er, for the sake of our country and your father, we don't necessarily have to fight in person..."
Even Queen Cao found these words unconvincing. In fact, it was enough for Xi'er to have this attitude in the court, but once Xi'er fought hard, she would not and could not have the chance to go back on her words.
"Official..."
I don’t know how the court finally decided. Maybe someone reported it just now, but Xi’er’s thoughts kept swirling in her heart and she didn’t listen at all.
"Sage, Xi'er made an agreement with Wen Kuanfu to use a group of forbidden troops to conduct exercises with the guard camp. If the guard camp loses, Xi'er will not march south. If the forbidden army loses, Xi'er will lead the guard camp to march south."
Zhao Zhen was helpless. In fact, he could have settled this matter with one word, and the court would definitely cooperate with him. But in that case, for his son... he still wanted to understand Xi'er's true thoughts.
"One car versus two thousand?"
Queen Cao seemed a little relieved and looked at Zhao Xi with doubt... Xi'er never did anything uncertain, but why was this?
"Xi'er, tell daddy the truth, why?"
"Dad, my son built the guard camp for the first time. It is actually an improvement of the military system of the country. I heard what Prime Minister Pang said, the guard camp in the court is regarded as the sixth leader of the East Palace, so it will not be touched easily."
"Now that the training of the guard camp has begun to show results, it is time to let the court know. Now the war in Guangnan can also be verified."
"As for the child's safety... don't mention the child with two thousand guards. Even if the child is alone in the dangerous areas of Guangnan, he can easily escape. Chen Yaban should know this."
Zhao Xi has always been aware of the Imperial City Division's concern for him over the years. Zhao Xi was disdainful of their tracking and disguise techniques, but he never pointed them out.
He knew that this was not because his father was guarding him, but to protect him. During this period, he also had fun with those close officials, playing tricks of suddenly disappearing and reappearing. I think old Chen Lin should know better.
Zhao Zhen didn't listen to anything about reforming the military armament of the country. In recent years, he turned a deaf ear to all those who mentioned the New Deal. He only heard: Xi'er said that he could escape from danger even if he was alone.
"Big companion..."
"Officially, what His Highness said is true. I have personally joined a team of officials to search for His Highness, but his whereabouts have never been found."
I don’t know if it counts as settling my family. I think back in those days, when I went on a mission, I could just write a few words on a white paper... Here, there is Tao Niang.
Tao Niang didn't say anything. When she returned to the East Palace, she looked at Zhao Xi. No matter what Zhao Xi did, her eyes would follow him.
Taoniang knew that this matter could not be undone, so she just wanted to see more of Saburo...
Tao Niang knew how powerful the guard camp was. At that time, the guard camp was first built, and her cousin Gao Jingxian was in the old house of the Gao family. Counting all the nephews and nephews of the Gao family, three days later, all the other nephews were stained.
"Tao Niang..."
"Sanlang, Tao Niang doesn't dissuade her, but she also knows San Lang's intentions. It's just... Tao Niang wants to see more... If I go to Guangnan, I won't be able to return in two or three months..."
It was night, the red candle was not extinguished, and Zhao Xi was stuck to Tao Niang, so that she could remember every hair tip of her hair...
Cuju Express published a signed article for the first time, which was about the Guangnan West Road War. The writer was Song Chaoyang.
The published article did not mention much about the fighting situation on Guangnan West Road, but instead wrote a nonsensical article titled: "Country".
The core is the same: a family is the smallest country, and a country is composed of thousands of families; only when there is a family, there is a country, and only when there is a country, there is a family; only when there is a strong country, there will be a rich family.
It did not point fingers at the war, nor did it say that we should share the same hatred with the enemy, nor did it give a heads-up to the scholars and common people who are now in a state of intoxication. It only stated the situation of the war on Guangnan West Road very objectively, and explained one truth very straightforwardly and simply: family and country.
Relationship.
However, the article has a new formulation, which is an explanation of the concepts of the emperor and his ministers.
The so-called emperor actually means the herdsmen of Daitian, who together with the officials in the court form the management of the country. Scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen are the members who make up the country.
"Captain Cao, who does this Song Chaoyang belong to?"
When Cao Yi received the article that Cao Xiang brought from Neiyuan, she knew that she would be asked about it by her husband.
The article is not for the stage. It has the same writing style as "Fantasy Country", and even rural women and children can understand it.
This is in line with the style of Cuju Express, which targets the working people.
His Royal Highness has never published any articles except "Fantasy Kingdom", but there are many down-and-out scholars who use this style of writing as a means of livelihood.
But this time, although the article was very heart-wrenching, Cao Yi couldn't figure out why His Highness the Crown Prince wrote such an article.
so……
"Wen Xianggong, I don't know who he is. In recent years, the writers of Cuju Newspaper have been in turmoil. They have not talked about the court, and their identities have not been revealed. If Wen Xianggong feels that this article is inappropriate, I can order it to be removed."
This is what His Highness the Crown Prince arranged to say...
"Don't get me wrong, Lieutenant Commander. Although this article is not elegant, its description is novel. If this person recommends talented people, he may be able to be used by the imperial court..."
Cao Yi was stunned. He couldn't imagine how His Highness the Prince knew that Mr. Wen Xianggong would ask such a question, but why Mr. Wen Xianggong asked him like this.
"Xiangong Wen, I will explain these words. If this person writes again, he will definitely be used by the court because of what Xianggong Wen said."
Then, Wen Yanbo began to seek advice from Cao Yi on this battle exercise between the Forbidden Army and the escort battalion.
I talked a lot, as if this is the real purpose of today...
When did the civil servants arrange troops to question military generals? If Wen Yanbo really did it for this exercise, no one would believe him.
