Fu Jian praised Fu Hong and Fu Rui at the court meeting. The two were beaming with joy, and Xuancheng also smiled.
"Brother Huang, I have something to ask." Xuan Cheng paused and spoke loudly.
Fu Jian said with a smile, "Okay, brother, you can tell."
"My brother, please, transfer back to my direct descendants of the Fu family and lead them back to Chang'an."
When these words fell to the ground, all the people kneeling in the hall showed strange expressions. Fu Jian once clearly ordered that all the generals of the Di clan should guard the frontier. This policy has continued for more than ten years, and now all the generals of the direct line are guarding the frontier. On the land, Great Qin has had peace for more than ten years.
Fu Jian's expression was also startled.
"Emperor brother, what you said... seems inappropriate."
"Brother Emperor, this is what I want to play after careful consideration by my ministers. Now my descendants of the Fu family are all guarding the frontier. There is a saying in the art of war. When the guards of the descendants are in chaos, and the guards of the opposite sex are mostly in chaos, the Great Qin pacified the Northern Kingdom. Now there is only one For a tiny place, only 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough, and the troubled times are coming to an end, so we must bring back my lineage soldiers and horses back to Gyeonggi."
"Young Master Yang Ping is right."
Several veterans in the palace whispered to each other, discussing in low voices, "It is time to exile those people of the opposite sex to the border. It is no good for these people to stay in Chang'an."
"That's right, that's right, look at how many blessings the Murong family has received, but they don't have any merit."
"The generals of our Di family are all in the frontier. This is not a sign of long-term peace and stability. It is time to recall."
...
Xuancheng listened to these faint discussions one by one, with a smile on his lips, and his heart was as firm as ever.
"This." Fu Jian said nothing.
"Brother Huang, among other things, Liaodong County, Changli County, Xuantu County, Yuyang County, Yanmen County, Shuofang County, Shang County, Anding County, Longxi County, Yinping County, these ten counties must withdraw their generals. Our country of Qin is at war with the country of Dai, so there can no longer be direct descendants guarding it. Some of the aliens who surrendered earlier had to be transferred to the border. They have nothing to do in Chang'an city all day long, running out of food and wealth. This is extremely detrimental to our country's future operations, my brother. Please, let the aliens go abroad, and transfer back one of the direct line generals guarding the border. This will not only ensure that there are no people with different surnames on the border of Qin, but also have the effect of those who surrendered. Brother emperor, this is not a whim, please understand .”
Reasonable, Xuancheng said so respectfully.
"If one person is transferred back, then my direct lineage in Chang'an is the most important. If something happens in the frontier, wouldn't we be trapped at both ends?"
"Brother Huang, with the courage to guarantee my life, it will be beneficial and harmless to transfer back the general of the direct line." Xuancheng said affirmatively.
Of course, he is sure of this. The chaos of the former Qin Dynasty did not happen in the past ten years. All the reckless men were brave, but in just a few decades, they were all wiped out by Fu Jian one by one, and the north was unified. The first minority to unify the north was Xuancheng's brother in this body.
Fu Jian was still hesitating, his Confucian feelings of benevolence and love for others were always indiscriminately applied to those who surrendered.
"Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to grant Yang Pinggong's request." At this time, several people stood up in the hall, and they turned out to be Di Xi Liang Xi, Zhu Tong, Quan Yi and others.
Lu Polou also handed over his hands and asked for second opinion.
The Taiwei and all the members of the Di family agreed with this, Fu Jian pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, since everyone has said so, then it is approved, and the ten counties in the frontier that the emperor asked for instructions will each be transferred back to a general of the direct line. "
"Your Majesty is holy."
Fu Jian smiled brightly, "The one who is wise is the emperor's younger brother, okay, that's it."
All the ministers retreated, Xuancheng looked at Fu Jian's stealthy gaze, and his four eyes met, each with its own meaning.
Fu Hui came over to salute, Xuan Cheng said, "Hui'er, you go to Deng Qiang's place first, I'll be there in a while."
"good."
Fu Hui was the last one to withdraw, but Fu Jian walked down from the high hall. Weiyang Palace has twelve steps, which is a model of palace architecture in the Han Dynasty. None of them have been altered without authorization.
He stood in front of Xuancheng in black and looked at it, but Xuancheng read something different from his gaze, especially when he stared at him inch by inch.
"Haven't you seen it? You still see it that way." Xuancheng's words were always a little disrespectful.
"Imperial brother, you look good." Fu Jian retorted.
Xuancheng snorted coldly, and left with a bad face, but Fu Jian tore off his sleeve, "Wait a minute, brother."
"Let's go see Hui'er."
Xuancheng snatched his sleeves, lifted the hem of his clothes and ran out quickly.
"Just go, what are you doing in a daze."
On the outskirts of Chang'an, the new army barracks.
This is a camp specially set up by Xuan City to train recruits, covering an area of over ten thousand mu.
The one in charge of training the new army is Deng Qiang, the general of the town army, and Zhang Hao, the later general who is against thousands of people. Together, Xuancheng has nothing to worry about.
The two spoke softly, as if they were afraid of being discovered, they quietly came to the side of the barracks to observe secretly.
One after another military tents rose from the ground, and the sound of drills resounded through the ground.
The sky was fine, just right for training.
"Look, Deng Qiang, no one can compete with him in military training. The soldiers all say that he is strict in law enforcement. Everyone trembles when they see him. I can't believe it. You teach Hui'er to him. Take, brother, you are trying to harm Mian Hui'er."
Fu Jian pointed to the back of the mighty general standing in front of the army, and whispered in Xuancheng's ear.
"Brother Huang, you are duplicity, obviously you also want Deng Qiang to bring Hui'er."
"Who said that, brother, can you guess what I'm thinking?"
"Still guessing? Brother, if the emperor's heart is like yours, then there is no such thing as the ancient saying that the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Isn't your meaning clear now when you handed Pi'er to Deng Qiang? I just did what I had to do, hey, I was afraid that the other princes would have opinions, you said, brother, why did you give birth to these sons." The first half of Xuancheng's sentence was extremely serious, but the latter sentence was absurd To the extreme, he couldn't help himself from snickering, what kind of tone was he talking about.
Fu Jian grabbed his hand and put it in his arms, "Are you dissatisfied?"
"Cut." Xuancheng never admitted it.
"Imperial brother, I think you are duplicity." Fu Jian turned his face, and his face changed from sunny to cloudy, "Imperial brother, tell me quickly, you are dissatisfied."
"You are boring."
But Fu Jian refused to let go, and forcibly pressed Xuancheng's shoulder so that he couldn't move. Xuancheng became anxious, "Fu Jian, you are so perverted."
Helpless, this angry shout went out, but it attracted the people in front who were concentrating on training soldiers.
"Who, who is where?"
"Come on, come and have a look."
"Yes, General."
Xuancheng struggled to break free and was about to escape, but those soldiers rushed up and surrounded them.
"Catch people here, let me see who is so bold and dares to break into the barracks." Deng Qiang's strong and powerful voice came over.
"Ah, Mr. Yangping." The soldiers cried out in shock.
"You, why are you here?"
Xuancheng grabbed the culprit, Fu Jian forced a smile, "Hello, it's me."
————
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to speak out first.
In the military tent, several people sat together.
Fu Jian is at the top, and Xuancheng and other generals are at the bottom as assistant generals.
Deng Qiang looked straight ahead, Zhang Hao did the same, neither of them blinked, Yao Chang and the others dared not speak out.
Fu Hui sat at the side of Xuancheng, looking respectful and docile.
"Ahem, hey, everyone, don't be dazed, talk, ah, haha." Fu Jian started the conversation intermittently, laughed along with him, and looked at everyone with a serious face.
"Well, General Zhenjun, General Later, I and the emperor originally wanted to see how your training of soldiers is going. By the way, I also want to see my good son."
"Your Majesty enters the barracks, is there any need to be sneaky?" Deng Qiang replied to Fu Jian's words righteously.
Fu Jian looked at Xuancheng with pleading eyes, as if to signal, "Young brother, speak quickly, they all listen to you." But Xuancheng turned a blind eye.
"Mr. Yang Ping, tell me. In the past, you made a rule that idlers are not allowed to trespass into the barracks. They must report in advance before entering the barracks. They are not allowed to enter the barracks without the commander's consent."
Mayor Xuan groaned, "This." This is the rule he set, and it was obviously set by Fu Rong, the Duke of Yangping who is strict in governing the army.
"Rear General, tell me how to deal with those who enter the barracks without notification."
Zhang Hao clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Yang Ping, according to the military regulations, no one else is allowed to trespass into the barracks, even the Holy Majesty and the royal family and nobles must report when they enter the camp. "
Xuancheng was startled in his heart, this was too unkind, if he was punished with fifty rods, then Fu Jian must be beaten to a disability.
He is the commander-in-chief of the army, so he has received special training, and he does not need to be passed in and out of the barracks, but Fu Jian is different, he is an emperor, and the place where the emperor lives is the palace.
Fu Jian was surprised, "Imperial brother, the rules you have set are too strict. I made a mistake unintentionally. You won't really hit me, will you?"
unintended mistake? Xuancheng sneered in his heart, where are you careless? Obviously you were the one who molested others first.
Besides, it was agreed to come to see Fu Hui, why don't you go through the main entrance of the barracks properly? The guards will go in and report, Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao dare not pick him up, you sneakily hid in the side of the barracks and made a noise, if it was someone else, Deng Qiang would have dealt with it by military law long ago.
"Fight, the general of the town army obeys the order, and deal with the offender according to the military law. Come and pull Fu Jian out, and punish the fifty army sticks." Xuancheng suddenly ordered.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao looked at each other, a moment ago they looked righteous but now they dared not act. In ancient times, emperors who committed crimes used their robes or eunuchs as a substitute, but today Fu Jian has no one to follow him. If it is not true, the emperor must be blamed. From ancient times to the present, emperors, sons of heaven, have never had a precedent of beating an emperor.
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, no." Fu Hui urged hastily, "Imperial Father doesn't know the rules of the military camp, it's understandable, please forgive Uncle Emperor Military Law."
"Forgiveness, what kindness, the emperor's brother entered the barracks without anyone's notice, and secretly watched our army's training, how can you be kind, you say, even the emperor can't forgive, the general of the town army, what are you still doing? .”
"Uncle Emperor." Fu Hui quickly got up, came to kneel in front of Xuancheng, and kowtowed heavily.
"Uncle Huang, my nephew is willing to suffer for his father, and there is a reason for a son to pay back his father's crimes. Please allow Hui'er to ask."
"Get up."
Fu Hui accepted death, that is, he knocked his head on the ground and did not lift it up.
"Uncle Emperor please accept what my nephew invites."
"you."
"Haha, brother, look, look, isn't it just to hit me? What are you forcing Hui'er to do? Come on, I've been through it." Fu Jian smiled brightly, walked down from the top, and stood among the crowd In front of him, he looked around at everyone in the tent.
