high official

Chapter 382

"I really don't have that," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "don't underestimate yourself. In the heart of the emperor, you have great achievements. It was just because of the slander of my two uncles that I refused to use you. Now my emperor Now that Grandpa has come to his senses, he will naturally make it up to you!"

"I'm afraid..." Wang Xian recovered from the initial surprise, and said slowly, "I'm not competent."

"You can do it." Zhu Zhanji grabbed his hand and said in a deep voice: "This one in Shanxi is a big test for my father and son. If we fail, the deadline will come. Zhongde, what can our father and son count on now?" Yes, it's only you, you must never refuse!"

"Your Highness, I'm not refusing." Wang Xian sighed and said: "Although I don't know much about Shanxi, I also know that the people there are tough, mixed with dragons and snakes, and extremely dangerous. I have served as local officials in Shanxi, from the chief envoy to the county magistrate, I don’t know how many people died in office without knowing it, and I am afraid that I will miss the big event of His Royal Highness.”

"First, this is the emperor's imperial edict, and you can't refuse it." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice, "Second, the three imperial envoys entered Shanxi at the same time, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to it. Who would dare to open their eyes and make a mistake at this time?" , will definitely incur the wrath of the Holy One. Third, no matter how dangerous Shanxi is, how is it compared to Mahamu’s military camp? For example, how is the army at Arutai?”

"This..." Wang Xian had nothing to say.

"However, you are an imperial envoy, and you have no rank and no rank. It is indeed easy to attract people's contempt." Zhu Zhanji obviously thought it over a long time ago: "If you have the right to do things, you still have to hang the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu. It can be said that it is the fifth grade."

Turning around and coming back, still unable to jump out of the rut, Wang Xian felt a little uncomfortable, but he nodded cheerfully and said: "I will follow your orders."

"There is another reason for letting you be this rich family of brocade clothes, and that is your imperial guard." Zhu Zhanji whispered: "According to regulations, imperial envoys can have 500 guards when they go out of Beijing. Up to a thousand people. So you can form a guard team of more than a thousand people. I asked Jin Shangshu, and he promised to let us choose our own guards, and then the Military Selection Department will help us make a book, so that at least a thousand brothers’ backgrounds can be solved. It was resolved."

"Such a big matter, can Jin Shangshu decide?"

"Of course I have to ask for instructions, but Grandpa Huang will not refute his face because he is about to die of illness." Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "He will also complain for the young army in the memorial, and go on an expedition of thousands of miles in the desert. Credit also comes with hard work, no one can stand the court treating the young army like this!"

"You don't have to be so angry." Wang Xian said softly: "I believe that the emperor has a charter for the young army. It's just that at this juncture, if you give the young army a formal establishment, it will undoubtedly be a strong signal to consolidate your position. , This is against the current wind direction. It is probably because of this reason that the emperor temporarily suppressed this matter."

"I hope it's as you said." Zhu Zhanji nodded and said earnestly, "I'm counting on you to reverse the situation!"

"I..." Wang Xian said helplessly, "Of course I will do my best."

"Okay, okay, that's all for today, let's talk about specific things another day." As soon as Wang Xian came back, he bothered him with these bad things, and Zhu Zhanji was also a little embarrassed: "I won't bother you The couple are reunited."

"Let's go after eating."

"Don't eat, I'm leaving." Zhu Zhanji didn't see him, he got up and went out, Wang Xiangang was about to get up and see him off, but he stopped suddenly, and the two almost collided. "Well, when will your father's hall arrive?"

"The shortest is three to five days, and the longest is half a month." Wang Xian said.

"Then Yinling will be with you too?" Zhu Zhanji said with a mean smile.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said.

"That's great." Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up, and he took Wang Xian's hand and said, "Brother-in-law, I will be worshiped by my brother-in-law!"

"Go, go." Wang Xian withdrew his hand and said, "Stop doing this, I read history books, and I haven't heard of any prince or grandson who can manage their marriage independently!"

"This..." Zhu Zhanji said awkwardly, "I will try my best to fight for it."

"You fight for it first..." Wang Xian smiled noncommittally.

"That's right, let's go through this level first," Zhu Zhanji thought about it, and smiled bitterly: "You can't let Yinling jump into the fire pit."

"That's not what it means..." Wang Xian shook his head and stopped talking.

.

On the day of the imperial decree, the most important thing for Wang Xian to do is to stabilize the morale of the young army.

He went to the camp all day to hang out with his younger soldiers. In order to let the young soldiers show their strength and avoid causing trouble, Wang Xian introduced polo and Cuju to the barracks, and set up a tournament with huge bonuses, ordering the soldiers to compete in teams. Compete for championships.The bored young people's attention was indeed attracted to the game, and they quickly entered the state. The whole day's price competition was in full swing, which greatly reduced the number of troubles.

For ordinary soldiers, being a soldier is to eat food, as long as the food and salary are sufficient, their status does not matter at all, so Wang Xian's action quickly revived the barracks.But it's different for military officers. They value the future and the way out more, and it's an unbearable torture to get along without hope.

The most intuitive expression is that more than half of the officers who were born in noble families have left, and many who have been born in martial arts have also left... During the difficult years of fighting in Mobei, the officers of the young army have proved their excellence. With a heart of cherishing talents, I can't bear to see them wasted. In addition, all armies are at a loss, and they are also in urgent need of excellent officers, so they recruit them one after another.

Zhu Zhanji was very worried about this. He said to Wang Xian that if those people are well-intentioned, that's fine, and the brothers have a good home. It would be terrible to recruit the brothers to idle away and let them live in trouble for a lifetime.

After Wang Xian talked with a large number of officers, he confirmed Zhu Zhanji's worries that the hearts of the young army were indeed about to disperse... The officers were enveloped in a sense of disappointment, and everyone was thinking about their own way out, even the martial arts Birth is no exception.If we don't come up with a countermeasure, the officers will really disperse.

As the endorsement of the power of the princelings, the young army must be preserved, there is no doubt about it.Now that there is no one else to help with ideas, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji were full of worries, and finally Wang Xian gritted his teeth and said: "It's really impossible, I can only use that trick!"

"Which move?!" Zhu Zhanji cheered up.

"It's all about it!" Wang Xian said with a heartbroken face.

"It's a throw away?" Zhu Zhanji said with wide eyes, "How do you say it?"

"We made an agreement with them for a period of one year, and promised to solve their birth problems within one year. If we can't fulfill the promise, we will let them go and pay them 1 taels of silver each!" Wang Xian trembled. .

"One, 1 taels of silver?" Zhu Zhanji swallowed hard, "Did I hear you right?" 1 taels of silver is enough for a medium-sized family to spend 50 years.Even a military officer of honorable background would definitely be willing to spend one year in exchange for the 1 taels of silver, even if the future is uncertain after one year!
"It's 1 taels," Wang Xian nodded and said, "Your Highness thinks it's too little, so you can promise 2 taels."

"Fuck you!" Zhu Zhanji said depressedly: "Are you kidding? There are more than 300 officers in the whole battalion. Where can I find 300 million taels of silver?!"

"How much can your Highness pay?"

"Several 10 taels are enough to support the sky. Although my father is a prince, he doesn't have a lot of life!" Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said.

"Didn't Your Highness have the ninety-nine to one gift from King Zhao?" Wang Xian said: "Including my share, it will be realized slowly in a year, can you exchange for 300 million taels?"

"I forgot about this!" Zhu Zhanji thought about it: "If everything goes well, my part alone is almost the same, and I don't need yours."

"Originally, it's useless for me to want those belongings, so sell mine first." Wang Xian said: "Besides, we probably don't need the money."

"how to say?"

"In one year, the Shanxi matter must have come to a conclusion." Wang Xiandao: "If the crown prince is proved to be right, the emperor will definitely compensate us, and the formation of the young army is naturally not a problem..." After a pause, he said: "If the result is right for us Unfavorable, is there still a place for us in the country?"

"No more." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said bitterly: "The deposed prince can only die. At that time, we will have to learn from Uncle Ma and go to the West."

"That's it," Wang Xian said with a sneer, "When the time comes, whether it be me or the brothers of the Young Army, they will all be rebels. No matter how big Ming is, there will be no room for us. We can only follow His Highness down to find a place to live." The New Continent was founded, and a new world was created!"

"Hmm." After hearing Wang Xian's words, Zhu Zhanji was filled with sadness and determination, and nodded heavily: "Just fool around like that, oh no, that's all!"

.

When Zhu Zhanji summoned the soldiers and announced this, everyone was stunned at the time. They couldn't believe it at first, but when Zhu Zhanji said that he could establish words as evidence and stamp his grandson's seal, the officers finally believed He is serious.Bursting with shame, the generals felt that they were too selfish, forgot His Highness's kindness, forgot the past days of sharing weal and woe, and forgot that His Highness was in the most difficult moment.

Many people said on the spot that they don't need to sign any paperwork, and they don't need to be compensated. They are willing to wait another year!As soon as these words were uttered, those who were open to money couldn't open their mouths, so they had to say vaguely, and we are the same.

"You don't need to be like this, a gentleman speaks fast, and he keeps his word!" Zhu Zhanji waved his hands proudly: "Today you will tide over the difficulties with me, and we will surely share the wealth in the future!"

"I will follow His Highness to the death!" All the generals knelt down on one knee and swore loudly.

Seeing this, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, this man's heart was finally stabilized...

After the generals dispersed, Zhu Zhanji was silent for a while, and said to Wang Xian: "We are fighting with our backs, we are only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"

"Well, only success is allowed, not failure!" Wang Xian nodded and replied in a deep voice.
