Zhuang Fu Lang

Chapter 78

The days when he worked as a composer in Hanlin Garden were relatively free. With the convenience of his duties, Shen Yanbei read many historical books of Daqi and gained a deeper understanding of the country.

The time of Daqi founding made him a little surprised, it was only a few decades!The emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and extravagant. The people didn't have enough food to eat. There were frozen bones, which aroused public anger, and people with lofty ideals rose up.Zhao Yu's grandfather was one of the most tactical. After he became the emperor, he really kept his promises of the year, recuperating and vigorously developing agriculture, so that the people have clothing and food, and the country will be stable.

The second emperor was Zhao Yu's father, Emperor Zhao Xuanwen. His reign was extremely short, only a few years.Although Emperor Xuanwen was not as ambitious as his father, he also worked hard to implement the rule of the first emperor, slowly consolidating the foundation of Daqi, and then came to the current Jianyuan Emperor Zhao Yu.

Shen Yanbei felt that Zhao Yu was an extremely ambitious man.It can be seen from the fact that he has recruited talents, vigorously developed economic, trade, and agricultural affairs and broadened Enke.It is even more eye-catching to have Zhao Yuli and Gu Chang seal a pair of children as the first sons of Zhenguofu.It was not that there was no opposition from the DPRK, but although the general had passed away from illness, Yu Wei was still there, and Gu Changfeng himself knew how the Minister of the DPRK and China knew.

Originally, the king of the town was a first-class king, not hereditary, and his father’s deceased title was lowered to one level and inherited by his son. According to the rule, Changfeng should also be directly conferred on the title instead of the prince’s son.But the emperor did not play the cards according to common sense, and still named Gu Changfeng as the first son of the official government. His king's heart was unpredictable. Although the ministers had objections, no one dared to remonstrate.

If Shen Yanbei were to say, Zhao Yu might just want to act on Gu Changfeng's father's remaining power.As a hero of the founding of the country, the general was extremely brave. He was born and died to make great contributions to the great Qi. Later, he left his home and business and stationed in the frontier. His patriotism and loyalty were so great that he even died in order to destroy the enemy and penetrate the enemy. !The general is simply a role model for all soldiers!Zhao Yu’s move was intended to show his benevolence and respect to the general to millions of soldiers on the border. Although the general is no longer there, I still remember the great achievements of the general and all he did for me. The general will always live in my heart, so I named his son the princely son.

Could it be the emperor's place in the whole world, just a title, it was nothing to Zhao Yu.Isn’t it a bargain to win the hearts of the frontier soldiers with a title?

The above is Shen Yanbei's guess, but Zhao Yu's actions have confirmed this guess.

Zhao Yuzhao met with Gu Changfeng.

That day when the ceremony was held in Taihe Hall, the general that Shen Yanbei saw with scars on his face was named Tai Qigang. He was originally under the general. After the general died of illness, he temporarily took the post of general.He returned in response to the edict, and just happened to upload the ceremony, so he also attended.

When Zhao Yu called Gu Changfeng into the palace, Tai Qi happened to be in the Imperial Study Room.The moment he saw Gu Changfeng, the tiger who was more than half a hundred years old had his eyes red.

"The humble position Tai Qi just met the son!" Tai Qigang clasped his fists in his hands, his voice dumb.

As the confidant of the general, Tai Qigang respects the general.When the general passed away, he was sad for a long time.The road was blocked and far away due to border news. It was two months after he learned that Gu Changfeng had died accidentally.Tai Qigang was shocked, not that he had never thought of sending someone to find Gu Changfeng.But at this time, too long had passed since the accident happened, and the town government had already announced the disappearance of Gu Changfeng's death, and set up a burial mound for him.He could only accept it though his heartache.Later, the second son of Zhenguo Gongfu was born as a boy. He was finally relieved thinking that the blood of the general would eventually continue.

A few days ago, the emperor summoned him back to Beijing, and he learned that Gu Changfeng was still alive!It's not that he doesn't want to meet Gu Changfeng, but his identity is sensitive. Before the emperor expressed his position, he was not good at acting privately, so he never showed up.

A few days ago, the emperor announced to the world that Gu Chongxiao, the eldest son of Liguo Mansion, was the eldest son of Zhenguo Mansion. He was surprised and delighted.Surprised by Zhao Yu's unexpected move, happy that Gu Changfeng can carry on his father's career!

Seeing that Gu Changfeng's eyebrows were firm and steady, and he looked like his father, the excitement in his heart was beyond words, only a word.

Gu Changfeng was startled and hurriedly said, "Zhong Xiao has seen the general!"

"You don't need to be polite, just sit down." Zhao Yu rubbed his brows and said quietly.

"Xie Emperor." Gu Changfeng Xie Li took a seat.

"General Thai, please tell me the situation again." Zhao Yu looked a little solemn.

"Yes!" Tai Qigang immediately said to Gu Chang: "There has been a change in the barbarian's internal situation, and there is a fear that troops will be attacked."

The barbarians are not the name of a country, but the general name of Daqi for the tribes of the grassland.

The barbarians lived in the north for a living, grazing horses and sheep, and lived by water and grass.Its folk style is sturdy, brave and warlike, even women and Shuang'er can make gestures.Barbarians are a nation that grew up on horseback, and their immediate combat capabilities are extremely powerful.With their iron cavalry, barbarians often invade the border after the autumn harvest, looting, burning, looting, and looting wherever they go. They don't even spare babies. The methods are extremely cruel.In the last few years of the previous dynasty, the world was in great chaos, and the barbarians took the opportunity to enter Guanzhong and occupy several counties.Later, Zhao Yu's grandfather proclaimed the emperor and established the country and ordered the general to send troops to expel the barbarians.The general led a 150,000 army to fight the barbarians, and Fang drove the barbarians 80,000 cavalry out of the land of the Qi.

But the barbarians are the cheapest weeds. They cut the grass without removing the roots. The spring breeze blows and regenerates. When the vitality is restored, they attack again, posing a powerful threat to the Daqi regime.As a person in power, Zhao Yu naturally cannot tolerate it.

Last winter, the barbarian tribes fought in a melee, but the sky was cold and snowy, and the soldiers suffered from frostbite, making it inconvenient to send troops.Moreover, the largest tribe, Ulato, sent envoys to marry Daqi with his noble daughter and conclude the Qin and Jin Dynasties with Daqi.Therefore, the main battle and main peace faction appeared among the ministers of the DPRK.But now the situation has changed, and King Urato is dead!

The opponent was Urato, the nephew of King Urato. Because of his dissatisfaction with King Urato and Daqi, he simply joined other tribes who had long been cowardly and dissatisfied with King Urato and could not accept the bow to Daqi, and assassinated King Urato.This person made himself a king and quickly married the princess of Longgetu, the second largest tribe in the steppe, and joined Longgetu to annex other small tribes. His reputation is high and he is expected to become the leader of the new generation of steppe.

This man is very ambitious, and if he is to unify the barbarians and tribes, it will definitely become a major disaster for the Qi.

Taking precautions, after Zhao Yu received the news, he immediately summoned Taiqi to return to the DPRK to discuss countermeasures.

In the past few years, the Qiqi has been recuperating and rested, and the troops have been weak.If you want to fight the barbarians, you have to conscript.But it is spring day, and the people are busy with spring ploughing and cannot conscript.Wait until the autumn to conscript, the barbarians are already strong.At that time, the recruits of Da Qi had not been trained, and the barbarians could lead their iron cavalry to go south to attack Qi again.

"What's your opinion?" Zhao Yu asked in a deep voice.

Gu Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, and said, "The minister thought he still had to conscript."

Zhao Yu didn't change his face and listened to him to continue.

"Our government stipulates that all young and middle-aged people who have reached the age of 17 are required to perform military service. If the court recruits soldiers, each household needs to have a male. But the situation is special now, the minister thought, can you call for new recruits in another way?" Gu Chang Feng stroked his thoughts, and said: "Can mandatory conscription be changed to recruiting? Voluntary registration, and corresponding rewards will be given to applicants..." Shen Yanbei said that if he wants to achieve a certain goal, he may change his mind. It may be much easier to do.Just like his pickled capers and radishes, if they are only sold as fresh vegetables, the price is not high, but they can be sold immediately after packaging.

Tai Qi's eyes lit up, and Zhao Yu nodded: "Feasible." The people of Daqi, each household has more than one male, if they volunteer to join the army, there are generous rewards, which will naturally attract surplus labor to sign up.It's just that you have to consider how to set this reward.

Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Yu's next sentence stunned him.

"Will the old man be willing to lead the recruits to the border for training?" Zhao Yu looked at him calmly.

"Chen..." Gu Changfeng opened his mouth and knelt down slowly for a while, his eyelashes hung down and said, "The minister follows the decree."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "Recruitment will take some time. During this time, the son can prepare well."

"Yes, the minister retire." Gu Changfeng turned around and walked out of the Imperial Study Room with heavy steps.

When Shen Yanbei comforted him that day if he felt ashamed of his father, and went to finish his father’s unfinished business, he thought that one day he would wipe out the barbarians and reported his father to the spirit of heaven, but he never thought that this day would be so soon Come……

"Shizi!"

When Gu Changfeng was desperately ready to leave the palace, a rough voice stopped him.

"General." Gu Changfeng returned to his senses, facing Tai Qigang who hurried over.

As soon as Tai Qi waved his hand, his face full of wind and frost smiled: "Don't laugh at me anymore. There is only one general, your father. You should call me Uncle Gang!"

Gu Changfeng just smiled.Tai Qi just patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly and earnestly: "My son, please listen to Uncle Gang! The general hates the barbarians the most, and once vowed to never let the barbarians step into my great land. As the son of the general, hope Don’t forget that it’s your father’s ambition, and don’t let the emperor trust you."

Gu Changfeng's eyes flashed: "I understand."

"The emperor asked me to get up immediately and go to the border to monitor the barbarians. I will wait for the son to drive at the border!" Tai Qigang said.

Gu Changfeng looked solemnly, and said seriously, "Okay, Uncle Gang has a good journey."

Tai Qi just gave him a fist, and hurried away.

Looking at the sky, Shen Yanbei was almost losing value.Gu Changfeng raised his foot to the Hanlin Academy without even thinking about it.

When Shen Yanbei walked out of the gate of the Hanlin Academy, he saw Gu Changfeng standing long under the cypress trees outside the Academy.The man pursed his lips slightly, his resolute and hard face was expressionless, and his dark eyes stared at somewhere in a daze.

"Huh!" Ouyang Yue, who was with him, saw Gu Changfeng's eyes very subtle.Qiong Linyan saw that Shen Yanbei touched and kissed this man with his own eyes that night, but he didn't look very real at night. Now that Gu Changfeng is in front of him, he can see clearly, and he can't help but feel it. Whispered.This body can hit him with a fist.

"Changfeng!" Shen Yanbei was very surprised.His wife actually came to pick him up from get off work!Hurriedly walked over: "How come?"

"I want to see you." Gu Changfeng whispered.Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, turned his head and said to Ouyang Yue: "I'm leaving now!"

Ouyang Yuegan laughed twice.Seeing the two look close walking side by side, they were deeply moved.This champion is extraordinary, and his preferences are different from ordinary people!

Perceiving Gu Changfeng's depression, Shen Yanbei couldn't help but stop him: "Unhappy?"

Gu Changfeng shook his head, met his caring eyes, and said dullly: "The emperor asked me to lead the recruits to the border for training..."

Shen Yanbei was startled. When he understood what had happened, his brows frowned first and then stretched out: "This is a good thing. After all, you are going to go, rather than go with a guard in the name of the prince of Zhen Guo Gongfu. Walking with recruits makes it easier to integrate into soldiers."

Gu Changfeng was silent.Shen Yanbei held his hand and asked softly, "Afraid I am worried?"

Gu Changfeng looked at him and made a soft "um".He was more afraid of worrying Shen Yanbei than he didn't want to leave Shen Yanbei.

"I am indeed worried, but I am even more worried that you will leave regrets in your heart." Shen Yanbei smiled slightly, "You must be extremely powerful when you put on the armor and fight the horse to kill the enemy!" He always regarded Gu Changfeng as being For a real man, a man should be responsible.So he will not stop Gu Changfeng from doing what he wants to do.

Gu Changfeng's heart was moved, and his expression eased.

Although Shen Yanbei spoke beautifully, in the next few days he could think of ways to reduce casualties on the battlefield as much as he could, and after all experiments, he wrote down the useful ones to Gu Changfeng.Before Gu Changfeng could see it in the future, he was told by Zhou Yu that they had found evidence that the child was not the son of the general!
